For some people, the end of the world as we know it is upon us, and there is no better time than now to start preparing.
Such is the concept of National Geographic Channel's new reality show Doomsday Preppers, which profiles Americans who have taken extreme measures to plan for a forthcoming apocalypse — whether natural disaster, nuclear war or economic crisis. The show premieres tonight with back-to-back episodes at 9 and 10 ET/PT.
The channel commissioned an online survey of 1,007 adults in the USA, and found that 61% of Americans believe the country will experience a major catastrophic event within the next 20 years, but only 15% feel they are fully prepared for it. More>>>>>>
The United States certainly appears to be undergoing a terminal decline that could possibly lead to the biblically prophesied time of Jacob's (or Israel's) trouble (Jeremiah 30:7).
Many of those with northwest European ancestry (large portions of the populations of America, Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Switzerland, Northern France, and the Benelux and Nordic countries) are, along with the Jewish people, descendants of the patriarch Jacob and his 12 sons—the 12 tribes of Israel. (To obtain the essential historic and prophetic evidence, request or download our free booklet The United States and Britain in Bible Prophecy . ) The English-speaking nations in particular have dominated the world, as prophesied, for the past two centuries.
The United Nations is finally moving toward the creation of a world tax: "No one should live below a certain income level," stated Milos Koterec, President of the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. In short, what this means is that the poor around the world will have the same right to our standard of living as we do WITH OUR OWN MONEY! This is what liberalism breads. POVERTY!
With all the news coverage you would have to live under a rock to not have heard about the shipwreck and the unfortunate death toll from it. It seems that the Captain who is ultimately responsible for the safety of the ship is in serious trouble. I have never taken a cruise but I want to. My Dad was on a cruise last week and really enjoys them. I was encouraged by a friend to write a story speculating on how this happened.
I have read and seen accounts of total pandemonium, crew members pushing through passengers to get on lifeboats, misinformation from the crew, and total panic. It has all been blamed on the Captains exit from the ship before anyone else. I took a look at the numbers and the facts about cruises on the web and I believe there is more to it. Up until now it has been said that the absence of the Captains leadership was the cause for the breakdown of order. Read the rest On our blog>>>>>>
Editor's note: This article was the very first one ever published on The Plain Truth back on December 14th 2007!
By Bob Barney We have war in Afghanistan, war in Iraq, war is maybe coming to Iran, Israel and Syria. It has been this way since before you were even born. Why? After all, we had war in Europe in 1914 and 1940, but not today. War in Japan in the forties, but not in the past fifty years, so why has every decade seen a problem in the Mid-East? Is it Oil? Is it another reason.
In the late 1940's, the USA was the world's largest oil producer. We did not need oil from the middle east, yet war erupted between the newly formed Israel and its Arab allies. The same thing happened again in the fifties, and the sixties and we still really didn't need the Arab's oil. By 1973 we did need their oil and thus today, everyone without a view on history mistakenly assumes that war in the middle east is about oil. IT IS NOT!
This war has nothing to do with oil, or George Bush or even The United States per say; it has everything to do with religion and about God and God's role in world events. This article can be read anytime in the future and there will still be strife in the middle east. The strife ends, according to the Bible ONLYafter Christ returns and not a day before. We realize that we claim to be a news site, and we are, but if there is a God, and it is the God of the Bible and if Jesus Christ is that God of the Bible, then what he has to say is news, is it not?
We have learned since our earliest reflections that the number thirteen is unlucky. Many buildings do not have a thirteenth floor, and many people are scared to death when thirteen falls on a Friday- known as Friday the 13th. Horror movies have capitalized on the notion, this fear, that many of us feel concerning this ominous date. Some historians believe that the fear of Friday the 13th came into being because they believe that Christ died on a Friday, the thirteenth of the month. Christ did not die on a Friday, and he certainly didn't die on the 13th of the month! However, that is another story... For now, I want to propose another concept. That concept is that the number "13" is a lucky number! So lucky, that Satan has tried his best to obscure the true meaning of that number ever since God first gave it as a blessing - Yes a blessing! Originally, there were 12 tribes, or nations of Israel, we will see in the article below that God blessed one son more than the rest, and made him the thirteenth nation! That nation was destined by God to be the greatest nation to ever be on this earth until the return of Jesus Christ. Read on and discover that the thirteenth tribe of Israel, has indeed fulfilled Bible prophecy and has become the greatest nation that ever was, and will ever be until Christ's returns.
LONDON — The World Economic Forum warned Wednesday that the financial crisis that has gripped the global economy for the past few years is fueling resentment that could lay the seeds for a rising tide of protectionism, nationalism and social unrest.
In its assessment of the risks to the global economy, the Forum flagged a "dystopian future" for much of humanity that could wipe out the gains achieved so far by globalization and undermine a nascent economic recovery.
Do you believe in democracy? What form of government is the United States? Is it a democracy, a Republic, or something else that unfortunately has been lost in the past few generations? Constitutionally speaking, America is what is called, a "constitutional Republic form of democracy.” We are not, as many scholars understand, a purely democratic society. Our forefathers knew that democracies can never last more than a few generations and that the only hope of our government to survive many generations was to form a public form of government. This begs the question, what were they trying to protect? What was the founding principle of our way of life that our forefathers wanted to preserve, protect, and maintain? We see that it was a democratic form of government. So is the Republic of the United States of America the end means of whether the founding fathers were attempting to create back in 1789? No, friends, the most important principle to the founding of this nation, is a biblical principle which you probably are unaware of. The word “democracy” or "Republic” is not found in the Bible. We all know the Bible is God's word to us, and we know that the Gospel of Jesus Christ's brought forth concerned a coming Kingdom of God that would occur on earth upon his return at the end of this age. Christ died for our sins--many know this, you know what else Christ bought for us with His death? He brought us freedom. Freedom from sin, freedom from the devil, and freedom from the penalty of death by his resurrection! (see: Freedom and the Bible)
Freedom is at the heart of the gospel that Jesus taught, and freedom was what the founders of this nation was attempting to preserve with a constitution that they fought over are ratified in 1789.
It was a democracy, or Republic form of government, or government in general, or the welfare of the people in general. It was personal freedom that our forefathers fought protect its drive to give to us today. Too many people think that democracy is worth fighting for and that democracy is the goal that we should be looking forward to achieving. Do you know what democracy is? Democracy is three people, to agree on killing the third. That is democracy! Do you want to fight and give your life for that? A Republic form of democracy are the same three people who vote for one of the three to represent them who decides to kill one of the other two! Is this what you're willing to die for? Is this why we should go to war in the Middle East or the far reaches of the world in order to protect democracy or Republic form of government or the Bible? No, what we for what our founding fathers envisioned was personal liberty based on the proposition that our freedoms tend not be infringed or taken away by some law, person, or government--be a democratic one or not. Individual rights, and personal freedoms are the cornerstone of what this nation stands for, or should I say, stood for.
We have been lied to. Our schools and our media and our leaders have convinced us that democracy is worth dying for! Nothing could be further from the truth. This is one of the biggest propaganda lies that you have embraced without thinking through the consequences. Our great nation is built upon the fact that the majority cannot take away the God-given rights of an individual. Our Constitution insurers that you and I have the right to practice freedom. Whether that be freedom from our neighbor or our government, and that no law passed, which abridges our freedom is constitutional or biblical. Look at the link below and see what God thinks about freedom and about personal liberty and about the right to choose right from wrong without the interference of God or the government. Yes, there are consequences are breaking God's laws, but we have the right and the freedom to choose in any government that tries to take this right away from you when I am no longer the government our founding fathers gave us, nor is it a government God will continue to protect.
If I can only convince my readers of one thing, it would be that the assault on personal liberties by our government of both parties, but especially the Democrats, will end up resulting in fulfilled prophecy of Leviticus 26--America will end up going into captivity losing its democracy, Republic, and most of all, personal freedom. Wake up and stand for freedom, be willing to die for freedom and understand what freedom really means. May God bless you and open your eyes to see the road we are on today and where it will end if we do not act.
After intervention by the Council on American Islamic Relations, the Defense Department reportedly decided it will now allow Muslim students participating in the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps to wear headscarves and turbans while in uniform.
The decision marks the latest influence by controversial Islamic groups on military affairs.
WND previously broke the story that an Islamic group that has been closely tied to the Muslim Brotherhood and was named by the Justice Department as an unindicted co-conspirator in a scheme to raise money for Hamas is the official endorsing agency for the U.S. Armed Forces Muslim chaplain program.
The Islamic Society of North America, or ISNA, also runs regular events for the military's Muslim chaplains.
WND also reported the Army's Muslim chaplain program was founded by a terror-supporting convict while the Army's first Islamic chaplain, who is still serving, has been associated with a charity widely accused of serving as an al-Qaida front.
On Thursday, CAIR announced its activism was responsible for the decision to allow Muslim garb in the JROTC.
The Islamic group got involved following an incident in October in which a Muslim teen, Demin Zawity, reportedly quit the JROTC when her commanding officer at a Brentwood, Tenn., high school would not allow her to wear her hijab in the homecoming parade.
CAIR sent a letter to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta requesting "constitutionally-protected religious accommodations for the girl and for future Muslim JROTC participants."
Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army Larry Stubblefield responded to CAIR's complaint by explaining the JROTC program will not allow religious headwear.
"Based on your concerns, the Army has reviewed its JROTC uniform policy and will develop appropriate procedures to provide Cadets the opportunity to request the wear of religious head dress, such as the turban and hijab," Stubblefield wrote in the letter, made public by CAIR. "This change will allow Miss Zawity and other students the chance to fully participate in the JROTC program."
WASHINGTON – A messianic rabbi from New Jersey is stunning audiences nationwide by revealing the striking parallels between the fall of ancient Israel and what he suggests are God's early judgments of America.
Jonathan Cahn of the Jerusalem Center-Beth Israel Congregation in Wayne, N.J., says an otherwise obscure passage in the Book of Isaiah is since Sept. 11, 2001, being uncannily re-enacted in the U.S. just the way it originally played out in the time of the great prophet of Israel leading to the nation's captivity and dispersions.
In a new book, "The Harbinger," Cahn reveals what he calls "an ancient mystery that holds the secret of America's future and the collapse of the global economy."
"Before its destruction as a nation, ancient Israel received nine harbingers, prophetic omens of warning," he says. "The same nine harbingers are now manifesting in America with immediate ramifications for end-time prophecy."
The key to decoding the harbingers, he says, is found in understanding the seemingly innocuous words of Isaiah 9:10 (King James Version), what it meant to Israel and how the history seems to be repeating itself in America today.

The mission of The Plain Truth is to warn the world of the coming events which will change their lives. These are not new warnings, in fact, they are thousands of years old. They can be easily found in the Bible. However, most people do not understand biblical prophecy because they cannot see a connection to today when reading these ancient predictions from people with names like Ezekiel, Micah and Zechariah. The Plain Truth scans world events and tries to connect the dots between biblical forecasts of what God has warned us of, and today's headlines. One of the reasons why most do not understand prophecy is that they are not armed with the keys to understand who the players are in the world today. When we read prophecies concerning nations like Assyria, Ephraim and Edom, we don't recognize those nations today. Once our readers are given these keys and are educated that Assyria is Germany, Edom is Turkey and Ephraim is the United States, then their eyes are opened in understanding that God is talking to us today from the pages of the Bible.
It is important to understand that the United States, Great Britain, Scandinavia, France and most of the nations of Western Europe are actually the lost tribes Israel. Since most prophecies concerns these 10 lost nations, we can then understand that many if not most of these warnings from God were meant for our eyes!
In today's topic, it is important to understand that we may be on the verge of an earth shattering event in the next two years which could alter life in the western world as we know it! This is no chicken little warning, in fact, it is a warning from NASA and many of the top scientists of the world! This warning fulfills God's prophecies concerning the destruction of our nation by both natural and man-made events. Please take the time to educate yourself and be prepared for what could be the most life changing event in your lifetime. If you prepare yourself, you can survive what may befall us. If you are not prepared, you will end up like the victims of Katrina or Japan!
WATCH these videos and learn for yourself how to prepare for this event. God gives us these warnings so those who listen to them can survive! They are not meant to be hidden from you.
Two veteran street preachers in Houston are facing a bench trial for spreading the biblical message about homosexuality – and other sins – on one of their favorite corners for preaching in Houston.
That the message was direct is obvious, from a photo of the situation that developed for David Stokes of BulldogMinistries.com and Dave Allen of HornofSamuelBook.com:
Street preachers with shofar, sign that prompted tickets
Their sign warns those who are "Drunks, homosexuals, abortionist, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists, witches, idolators" that "Hell awaits you."
Their hearing will be in Houston Municipal Court, which is run by Barbara E. Hartle, who, according to the Dallas Voice, is listed by the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund as "one of only a few out members of the Texas judiciary."
She was appointed to the position by Houston Mayor Annise Parker, identified by the Los Angeles Times as "the first lesbian to head a major American city."
Leiden, The Netherlands - The first Pilgrims of the first American Thanksgiving in 1621 were unusually devout – even by Puritan standards. They crossed the ocean on a conviction that "the Lord has more truth and light yet to break forth out of his holy Word," as pastor John Robinson said before they sailed from the Netherlands.
Yet the Pilgrim band that braved the Mayflower and shared deer and turkey with native Americans were also some of the most cosmopolitan and tolerant among the Puritan groups willing to brave the wilds of a new world.
Before going to Plymouth, the Mayflower group lived 11 years in the Dutch city of Leiden. Those years of exile in Leiden, where the Pilgrims worked, worshipped, and debated – amid hefty clashes of civilizations and belief in Europe – profoundly influenced their sensibilities in ways that have not been widely recognized.
Thanksgiving Day, as celebrated in North America, is a time to gather with family and friends to give thanks for the many blessings enjoyed by these nations and their citizens. However, to many people, its meaning is lost. It has become simply another day for huge meals, dinner parties, get-togethers or reunions. What does Thanksgiving mean to you?
Turkey dinners, cranberries, candied yams, stuffing, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie and family gatherings—these are all commonly associated with most Americans’ and Canadians’ yearly celebration of giving thanks—Thanksgiving Day!
Filmmaker Frank Capra was a masterful storyteller, able to weave a story and tug at the heartstrings effortlessly. It's no wonder, then, that the U.S. Armed Forces turned to him when it wanted to make propaganda movies during wartime. This collection gathers Capra's artfully crafted Why We Fight series, which tells the story of combat from a decidedly American viewpoint -- from the catalyst of battles to the hard-won victories.

The city council of Austin, Texas, unanimously approved exploring the idea of deputizing citizens to be "meter maids" using an iPhone app allowing anyone with an Android, Blackberry or iPhone to download a "parking ticket app," according to Legal Blogwatch.
The concept is this: "If they see a vehicle that is parked in a handicapped parking spot, the 'deputy' would then take three photographs (of the license plate, the windshield and the car in the handicapped parking [space]). The software from Parking Mobility then transmits the photos and the GPS location to the city so it can issue a ticket."
Researchers from an Indiana university announced on Wednesday that they have been awarded with over $500,000 in grant money, which will be used to study how Americans use the Bible in their everyday lives.
Lilly Endowment Inc., a private foundation based in Indianapolis that focuses on philanthropy in the areas of community development, education and religion, awarded the grant to researchers at the Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis several weeks ago.

Harold Hamm is more than a little disappointed in President Obama.
He discovered the Bakken oil fields of Montana and North Dakota that have pushed the U.S. into third place among world oil producers and could yield, Hamm says, 24 billion barrels:
If he’s right, that’ll double America’s proven oil reserves. “Bakken is almost twice as big as the oil reserve in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska,” he continues. According to Department of Energy data, North Dakota is on pace to surpass California in oil production in the next few years. Mr. Hamm explains over lunch in Washington, D.C., that the more his company drills, the more oil it finds. Continental Resources has seen its “proved reserves” of oil and natural gas (mostly in North Dakota) skyrocket to 421 million barrels this summer from 118 million barrels in 2006.
“We expect our reserves and production to triple over the next five years.” And for those who think this oil find is only making Mr. Hamm rich, he notes that today in America “there are 10 million royalty owners across the country” who receive payments for the oil drilled on their land. “The wealth is being widely shared.”
By Rick Gedeon There’s a feeling of unease by many in this country. Ever since the 2008 economic crash there is wide spread fear in many Americans that things are not right in this country. They see the ever growing debt of this nation that now exceeds 14 trillion dollars and due to this, feel disaster is on the horizon. Then there are many who think what has happened in other great empires in the past, such as the British Empire, the Roman Empire, or the Greek Empire could never happen to the U.S.A. The economic disasters that have happened to other nations "could not happen to this nation or me." Then there is a small group out there that know what the fate of the United States is. Why?
What are the similarities and differences between the rise and fall of Rome Empire in 365 A.D. and the United States in the 21st Century? First let’s ask ourselves, are Americans the new Romans? There are many who are struck by the similarities between the American empire now and the Roman Empire then. Military strength is the most obvious similarity, as Rome was the Superpower of its time, and the United States is the Superpower now. Read the story>>>>>>>>>>
The tale of the Gibson guitar raid — the one focused on the legendary guitar maker’s alleged importation and use of illegal wood — has taken an odd turn. Now CEO Henry Juszkiewicz is claiming the Feds told him that some of his problems “would go away” if the company used Madagascar labor.
In an interview with Beck radio affiliate KMJ 105.9 in Fresno, California, Juszkiewicz told host Chris Daniel that the government made the point “explicitly:”
CHRIS DANIEL: Mr. Juszkiewicz, did an agent of the US government suggest to you that your problems would go away if you used Madagascar labor instead of American labor?
HENRY JUSZKIEWICZ: They actually wrote that in a pleading.
CHRIS DANIEL: Excuse me?
HENRY JUSKIEWICZ: They actually wrote that in a pleading.
CHRIS DANIEL: That your problems would go away if you used Madagascar labor instead of our labor?
HENRY JUSKIEWICZ: Yes, yeah. They said that explicitly.
