The Plain Truth

The Hypocrisy of the Right

Commentary By Bob Barney:

The hypocrisy of the so-called conservative right over this latest Obamacare fiasco just cannot continue with some sort of realistic commentary. Before I go into the Plain Truth about this particular issue that has the entire country in a fuss, I want to say that Obamacare and any such mandate is unconstitutional, and I agree with those fighting against the implementation of this fascist farce and sincerely hope that the Supreme Court will do their job and strike the entire deal out. That being said that down right ignorance of the right, or worse yet, the possible misrepresentation of this contraception issue in the light of their support of the Patriot Act 10 years ago just cannot stand with someone ranting to heaven over the lying and misrepresentation taking place.

 

 

Issue one. If a church had a belief that surgery of any kind was against God's will and refused to allow any of their employees working in their schools from having an insurance which covered surgery, would any of these right-winged pundits be arguing against the government mandating against that belief? Am I not right? Sean Hannity would not be defending those “kooks” who would not allow modern medicine to their non-believing members, would he? Be honest with yourselves. If contraception is a religious matter, so too is the religious view that no surgery can be performed. Our laws can only be concerned what is legal, constitutionally and not what is right or wrong religiously. I believe abortion is murder. This is NOT a religious view any more than my belief that killing your ten year old child should be outlawed because it morally wrong. Murder is not a religious matter, it is a state secular issue! So to is contraception and abortion.

 

We as a society must hold life sacred and rule when life begins. If it is a medical fact that life begins at conception, and the majority are in agreement, then abortion should be illegal on the grounds of murder and not what some Pope, or holy Joe thinks about it. If contraception is not killing a life in a secular view, then our Constitution requires that the government stay out of the issue. In this country religion plays no part of the regulation of the law. Yes, Christ is coming back here someday as king, and He will rule as a king (He won't be “elected”) but our nation does not allow any religion to have preeminence over any other. In fact, I do not even believe tax exemptions for any religion is legal! All churches should pay the taxes of anyone else. Not to get off the point, because it really doesn't matter much because there should be no income taxes or property taxes of any kind (that is for a different day).

 

Here is my beef. The Patriot Act, started by President Bush and supported by almost every Republican at the time is more of an outrage against your and my freedom than anything Obamacare can do to you! When they allowed the illegal Act (which in no way is patriotic) to become the law of the land, you lost rights you don't even realize you had. Are you aware that the FBI can right out by hand their own search warrant without a judge? And after they give you that search warrant, you cannot tell anybody about it, not even your lawyer! Did you know that? Are you aware that you can be held for the rest of your life without ever being charged? That the FBI can hold you for 99 or more and never let you talk to a lawyer! Are you aware that this act allows you to be killed without due process of law? And you conservatives are worried about who is going to pay for a birth control pill that is going to be taken anyway? Get real, and get your priorities straight. This entire episode being played out is just another, in a long line of attempts to take away your freedom!

 

It is about time that Americans start to use the brains that God gave them and start asking questions of everyone. I know few trust me, yet I have have given you more truth today than almost anyone you are listening too. Start asking questions. Have you proven global warming? How about lead paint causing birth defects? Evolution, the idea that oil is a fossil fuel, or that God of the Bible is just a fairytale?

OK, I am becoming an Obama Liberal!

By: Bob Barney  REPRINTED FROM July 2009

I have had a “come to Jesus” moment. Seriously, I have decided that the democrats have been right all along.   It's the government’s job to protect us from ourselves.   I am now proposing sweeping new laws that I think Obama and company will truly like.  I even think that maybe 51% of the population will go along with this plan, if of course you include the ACORN illegal, fake, and down right dead voters! This simple 10 point plan should solve every problem that faces us today, so much so, I am going to name it “The Final Solution.”  The concept is based on the honey bee culture that we evolved from a couple billion years ago.

 

1. UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE: Let’s be honest, there are too many people on earth. These people fart, pollute and are probably causing global warming and perhaps leading to the extinction of green toads. Since we know from science that we descended from these toads (let’s call them “great gramps”) it is our duty to protect all of our ancestors from the damage, we are doing to the goddess, that we call, "mother earth". After all, she is the true living God that brings life to all creatures.

 

That being said, my proposal is to ban doctors, except for a few to treat and keep alive all of those that are too important to die, namely the world leaders, industrialist, and bankers. Everyone else needs to die whenever “mother earth” calls him or her home. After all, we all know that everyone is reincarnated after they die anyway. Why worry about doctors when you can be a fruit fly when you come back, or if you are really lucky, a sacred COW!  My spine is just tingling at the very thought of the idea.

 

This new Universal Health Care plan would save us TRILLIONS of dollars that are needlessly spent on the selfish notion of trying to live forever. Like the honeybee that dies whenever she stings something to protect the sacred colony, it is our duty to die when we get sick. We have lived for billions of years without doctors, why should we have them now? There is no need for “sin taxes” on cigarettes, or sugar or fatty foods, as there will be no cost of health care. Of course, since the government will own all businesses, including food companies, they will not produce sugar, fat or meat products for us anyway. Those commodities, along with cigarettes, will only be provided for our leaders, who deserve them and are entitled to them for their hard work for the cause.

 

1. Ban all cars, truck, planes, tractors and motorized boats. We started walking on two's a billion years ago or more and lived perfect 20-year life-spans without the inconvenience of car payments, or having to experience crooked car repair shops that earn their livelihood off of cheating everyone that comes in for an oil change! I know this is true, I saw it on 60 minutes, 20-20, and Dateline! They never lie, they always tell us the truth. The Plain Truth is that the only people who never lie to us are President Obama, and the main stream media. Everyone else, especially doctors, auto mechanics, and lawyers all lie to us all the time! The list would also include of course FOX news.
   

 

By banning all of these vehicles (with of course the exception of Air Force One, and a few SUV’s for the world’s important leaders) we will save countless trillions of dollars on useless modes of transportation. We should also kill all horses (their farts, after all, are worse than ours, you know). We can walk instead. Walking will make us healthier too.  We might even live an extra 5 or 6 years and die well beyond our 25th birthday--if we are really lucky.

 

1. All HOMES MUST BE DESTROYED and replaced by grass or mud huts: Are you getting it yet? See the money we will be saving? Ban construction on all new homes, and phase out all existing homes in say, 20 years. Stop all electricity production immediately, except for several small water generated plants that provide electricity for those too important to go without. Also, of course for the government owned theatres where people can walk to, gather and watch the news, approved movies that stress the importance of homosexuality and pedophilia for society to become more enlightened. After all, how many queers produce kids?  And most children that have sex with adults can’t get pregnant anyway—they are too young!  This is not always foolproof as Mary Kay Letourneau found out--- several times now. Heterosexual behavior between childbearing adults must be shown in a bad light. In this way, we may be able to convince boys and girls who, for some unknown reason,  choose to stay “straight,” and get themselves fixed by age 6 or 7.

 

1. Require abortions for anyone that is not a member of the leadership: I cannot stress how important this is. Until we can convince our children to become homosexuals or pedophiles, or at least get "fixed", we must mandate that all pregnancies be terminated. Preferably this should be in the 9th month or upon birth, to underscore the importance of the sacrifice to “mother earth.” After all, if one terminates a child before she “shows,” nobody will appreciate the sacrifice the woman made for the good of mankind and “mother earth,” Goddess of all living beings, as well as fruits and nuts.
   

 

This of course, does not apply to those who never harm the earth, such as important leaders, who are needed to breed the next generation of leaders or to those few other exempted people: namely, Mexicans, blacks, Puerto Ricans or any other group known to vote Democrat. Exceptions of course must be made for these groups, as for some unknown genetic reason, a few members become traitors to the good of society and start longing for so-called freedom and capitalism. These people must be neutered immediately upon discovery, or killed.

 

1. OUTLAW personal Property Rights; Everyone works for the government and all private property rights are to be banned. Property ownership only leads to greed, and after all nobody should have the right to “own” a portion of “mother earth.” All jobs will be government jobs. No pay should be expected. After all, every need will be provided for, so there will be no need to pay for anything. Good news! NO MORE TAXES! President Obama will have been able to keep his pledge on no taxes for everyone! Your job will grant you all basic needs: a hut, your daily allotment of food (not to exceed 1500 calories), your medical care (which will be none) and your education and entertainment. You have no need for money! It’s like being in heaven, without the inconvenience of dying!

 

1. Mandate Vegetarianism: Again, the only exception would be important leaders like Al Gore, Barry (aka Barack) Obama, and those few saviors living among us. They must be given these rights to eat anything they wish, because they are just too important to be treated as the rest of us.

 

1. KILL ALL JEWS: This goes without saying. Jews are the cause for all ills on earth. After all they gave us Jesus Christ, the biggest troublemaker to world government that was ever born!

 

1. Kill ALL JEWS: We just got to make this two of the ten points. It is too important of an issue to overlook. JEWS must be eradicated!  I would say if you are 1/64 Jew, then off to the camps you go! Good DNA testing will ensure compliance without that many errors.
   

 

1. KILL ALL CHRISTIANS: Now this is harder than 7 and 8. Jews can be discovered through DNA, but Christians may lie, and we know of no DNA test that can determine if one is a member of this most dangerous sect. They hold certain views that can destroy everything that enlightened people everywhere are fighting for.  Like that notion we are created in God’s image! Where the heck did they get this BS? We don't look anything like mother earth! What a stupid notion, which only leads to humans thinking that they are “special” and above everything else on the planet.  This is dangerous, because enlightened people know that only they themselves are above anything else, but ordinary folks are not! The earthworm, gnat and tick posses the same rights that we do! I have found that the best way to eradicate Christians is not to burn them on the stake, or feed them to the lions; Nero tried this to no avail; but the best way is to join their movements and slowly get them to adopt every doctrine of mother earth worship. Pagan holidays, like Christmas and Easter and other doctrines that will eventually lead to the end of this cult.  In this way only can we destroy this movement from within for all time! Infiltration and indoctrination are our ally here. Make the churches marry homosexual couples. In fact, make their entire priesthood comprised of either homosexuals or pedophiles, to insure the complete rejection of this most dangerous religion by the masses. Offer BLANK BIBLES so everyone can make sure that they don’t break any of those stupid “thou shall not’s” in the Bible. They can simply write their own scriptures. For example: 1 Barney Frank 2:33 “Thou shall lay with a boy of any age,  in the same manner that thouest layeth with a man.”  And 1 Chris Dodd 2:5: “Thou shalt rob from they neighbor, as long as thou art a member of Congress.” See how easily that works!

 

1. The last is simple: I will call it the duty to die: We all have the right to die now, but we should also have the right to accept the duty to die!  Whenever some of us lives too long and becomes a burden to society, or remains healthy in spite of the lack of medical care, say, by their early thirties, these old-timers should be able to choose to die. Of course, this rule would not apply to important world leaders and industrialist who are too important to die, but for the rest, when we reach 40 or maybe 50, and somehow survive all the pandemic diseases, then we should have the right to die. Now I realize that since most will not have the sense to make this choice, a government CZAR (the "RIGHT TO DIE CZAR") should have the power to inform those who want to die (but don’t know it yet), that they actually want to die!  Of course, many may not know that they really want to die, but that is why we must have a newly formed ACORN group called DEATH. DEATH gets the order from the DEATH CZAR that so and so want’s to die, but doesn’t know it yet. DEATH visits the person at his/her hut, and immediately slays them to prevent any needless suffering. Simple, fast and easy.

 

 

That’s the plan. I am now a believer!  I am late to this new ideology but I now fully understand it, and can accept my fate in life. Heil Obama. Heil Mother Earth, and goodbye the trappings of freedom, cause as the liberal icon singer Janis Joplin once stated, just before she killed herself with drugs, “freedom’s just another word for nothing else to lose…”

The Obsolete Man

Forward by Bob Barney: 

I believe in the Bible. I believe in Armageddon and the return of Christ. I also believe that God gets His message out and it is up to us to look around and find the those messages. One of the best minds who understood humanity, God and the possible fate of mankind was the genius Rod Serling, creator of the Twilight Zone.  In the next few weeks, I will play some of those best episodes with some commentary on what to watch for. In this episode, we are transformed into a futuristic world where God is outlawed and the state is worshipped, and the rights of man is all but forgotten. A clean, sanitary world that so many modern day Progressives would love to live in. In this story, Serling explores what the state does with those who become “Obsolete” and in this case, a librarian is sentenced to death because librarians have become obsolete because all books were all confiscated and burned in an attempt to keep the masses in check. The next time you see FOX NEWS blast Wikilinks, or ridicule those who want to see a birth certificate, or oppose the Patriot Act, think of this story. I PROMISE YOU that if you watch the first 5 minutes-- YOU WILL watch the entire 26 minutes! I am moved to tears every time I listen to Serlings final comments (PART 3) concerning the fate of any government that ignores the God given rights of mankind! WATCH and see our possible future unless we wake up!

 

Why Is The Middle East Always Going To Be In YOUR Future

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 ONLY after 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?

Friday the 13th Unlucky? Think Again!

By Bob Barney:

      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.

The Number “13” and the Identity of “Ephraim”!

Do you believe in Freedom or Democracy?

A commentary by Bob Barney

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.

Jer 34:17

¶

Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.

 

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.

SEX and GOD

By Bob Barney

First published in 2007

 

This is a commentary on our recent Healthy Sex story. Many, including some in my family thought the story was too salacious for our news site.  That’s exactly the response I wanted. Why? Well, the plain truth is that most of us do not understand the truth behind sex. It is very unfortunate that so many people have had their minds obfuscated with false religious dogma concerning sex and what God really wants us to know about the subject. You will see that God is no prude when it comes to sex and actually has given us a guideline on how to enjoy it without any guilt!

 

 In Genesis, God creates man and woman after the GOD kind. Notice that all other created beings are created after their own kind, but man was created after God’s own kind. Note also that God says “Let US make man in OUR image”. At least two beings are talking together, and they claim to be God  (see the meaning of the word God here http://www.blueletterbible.org/faq/nbi/1303.html ). What is the very first thing that God realized about man? “It is not good for the man to be alone.”  God does not want us to be alone. He wants us in a union with another human, just as God is one, he wants us to be one, with the helpmate that God gives us. Next notice the first command God gave to Adam and Eve. Gen 1:28   God blessed them and told them, "Multiply and fill the earth and subdue it. Be masters over the fish and birds and all the animals."  Then we read a little later this: Gen. 4:1   “Now Adam slept with his wife, Eve, and she became pregnant.” (NLT translation).

 

 So sex was made for us to enjoy and to recreate after our own kind! We are meant to become part of the God Family. However, this command to have sex does not give us the license to have it with just anyone. Here are just SOME of the Biblical restrictions:
Lev 15:24   If a man has sexual intercourse with her during this time, her menstrual impurity will be transmitted to him. He will remain defiled for seven days, and any bed on which he lies will be defiled. 
Lev 18:1   Then the Lord said to Moses, 
Lev 18:2   "Say this to your people, the Israelites: I, the Lord, am your God. 
Lev 18:3   So do not act like the people in Egypt, where you used to live, or like the people of Canaan, where I am taking you. You must not imitate their way of life. 
Lev 18:4   You must obey all my regulations and be careful to keep my laws, for I, the Lord, am your God. 
Lev 18:5   If you obey my laws and regulations, you will find life through them. I am the Lord. 
Lev 18:6   "You must never have sexual intercourse with a close relative, for I am the Lord. 
Lev 18:7   Do not violate your father by having sexual intercourse with your mother. She is your mother; you must never have intercourse with her. 
Lev 18:8   Do not have sexual intercourse with any of your father's wives, for this would violate your father. 
Lev 18:9   "Do not have sexual intercourse with your sister or half sister, whether she is your father's daughter or your mother's daughter, whether she was brought up in the same family or somewhere else. 
Lev 18:10   "Do not have sexual intercourse with your granddaughter, whether your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter; that would violate you. 
Lev 18:11   Do not have sexual intercourse with the daughter of any of your father's wives; she is your half sister. 
Lev 18:12   Do not have intercourse with your aunt, your father's sister, because she is your father's close relative. 
Lev 18:13   Do not have sexual intercourse with your aunt, your mother's sister, because she is your mother's close relative. 
Lev 18:14   And do not violate your uncle, your father's brother, by having sexual intercourse with his wife; she also is your aunt. 
Lev 18:15   Do not have sexual intercourse with your daughter-in-law; she is your son's wife. 
Lev 18:16   Do not have intercourse with your brother's wife; this would violate your brother. 
Lev 18:17   "Do not have sexual intercourse with both a woman and her daughter or marry both a woman and her granddaughter, whether her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter. They are close relatives, and to do this would be a horrible wickedness. 
Lev 18:18   "Donot marry a woman and her sister because they will be rivals. But if your wife dies, then it is all right to marry her sister. 
Lev 18:19   "Do not violate a woman by having sexual intercourse with her during her period of menstrual impurity. 
Lev 18:20   "Do not defile yourself by having sexual intercourse with your neighbor's wife. 
Lev 18:21   "Do not give any of your children as a sacrifice to Molech, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the Lord. 
Lev 18:22   "Do not practice homosexuality; it is a detestable sin. 
Lev 18:23   "A man must never defile himself by having sexual intercourse with an animal, and a woman must never present herself to a male animal in order to have intercourse with it; this is a terrible perversion. 
Lev 18:24   "Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the people I am expelling from the Promised Land have defiled themselves. 
Lev 18:25   As a result, the entire land has become defiled. That is why I am punishing the people who live there, and the land will soon vomit them out. 
Lev 18:26   You must strictly obey all of my laws and regulations, and you must not do any of these detestable things. This applies both to you who are Israelites by birth and to the foreigners living among you. 
Lev 18:27   "All these detestable activities are practiced by the people of the land where I am taking you, and the land has become defiled. 
Lev 18:28   Do not give the land a reason to vomit you out for defiling it, as it will vomit out the people who live there now. 
Lev 18:29   Whoever does any of these detestable things will be cut off from the community of Israel. 
Lev 18:30   So be careful to obey my laws, and do not practice any of these detestable activities. Do not defile yourselves by doing any of them, for I, the Lord, am your God."
 

Paul even adds: 1Cr 6:9 "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind". So sex within a God inspired marriage is guiltless, but outside of these perimeters it will literally kill you!

 

 So, we can see that sex is something very special to God and it should be to us. Some of the most moving scriptures in the whole Bible is God comparing us (before we are saved) to a whore! We see the total agony we have put God through in our sinful lives, and he uses sexual imagery to demonstrate it. One actually feels the agony of what adultery means and how bad it hurts when God uses the same terminology to show to us how bad GOD hurts:

 

 Eze 23:3   They became prostitutes in Egypt. Even as young girls, they allowed themselves to be fondled and caressed.  Give her this message from the Sovereign Lord: You are nothing but a Canaanite! Your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite!   When you were born, no one cared about you. Your umbilical cord was left uncut, and you were never washed, rubbed with salt, and dressed in warm clothing. 

 

No one had the slightest interest in you; no one pitied you or cared for you. On the day you were born, you were dumped in a field and left to die, unwanted.   "But I came by and saw you there, helplessly kicking about in your own blood. As you lay there, I said, `Live!'  And I helped you to thrive like a plant in the field. You grew up and became a beautiful jewel. Your breasts became full, and your hair grew, though you were still naked.  And when I passed by and saw you again, you were old enough to be married. So I wrapped my cloak around you to cover your nakedness and declared my marriage vows. I made a covenant with you, says the Sovereign Lord, and you became mine. 
"Then I bathed you and washed off your blood, and I rubbed fragrant oils into your skin.  I gave you expensive clothing of linen and silk, beautifully embroidered, and sandals made of fine leather.  I gave you lovely jewelry, bracelets, and beautiful necklaces,  a ring for your nose and earrings for your ears, and a lovely crown for your head.  And so you were made beautiful with gold and silver. Your clothes were made of fine linen and were beautifully embroidered. You ate the finest foods-fine flour, honey, and olive oil-and became more beautiful than ever. You looked like a queen, and so you were! 

 

Your fame soon spread throughout the world on account of your beauty, because the splendor I bestowed on you perfected your beauty, says the Sovereign Lord.  "But you thought you could get along without me, so you trusted instead in your fame and beauty. You gave yourself as a prostitute to every man who came along. Your beauty was theirs for the asking!   You used the lovely things I gave you to make shrines for idols, where you carried out your acts of prostitution. Unbelievable! How could such a thing ever happen?  You took the very jewels and gold and silver ornaments I had given you and made statues of men and worshiped them, which is adultery against me.  You used the beautifully embroidered clothes I gave you to cover your idols. Then you used my oil and incense to worship them. 

 

Imagine it! You set before them as a lovely sacrifice the fine flour and oil and honey I had given you, says the Sovereign Lord. 
"Then you took your sons and daughters-the children you had borne to me-and sacrificed them to your gods. Was it not enough that you should be a prostitute?  Must you also slaughter my children by sacrificing them to idols?   In all your years of adultery and loathsome sin, you have not once thought of the days long ago when you lay naked in a field, kicking about in your own blood. 
"Your destruction is certain, says the Sovereign Lord. In addition to all your other wickedness,   you built a pagan shrine and put altars to idols in every town square.  On every street corner you defiled your beauty, offering your body to every passerby in an endless stream of prostitution.  Then you added lustful Egypt to your lovers, fanning the flames of my anger with your increasing promiscuity.  That is why I struck you with my fist and reduced your boundaries. I handed you over to your enemies, the Philistines, and even they were shocked by your lewd conduct! 
You have prostituted yourselves with the Assyrians, too. It seems you can never find enough new lovers! And after your prostitution there, you still were not satisfied.  You added to your lovers by embracing that great merchant land of Babylonia[fn1]-but you still weren't satisfied!  "What a sick heart you have, says the Sovereign Lord, to do such things as these, acting like a shameless prostitute. 

 

You build your pagan shrines on every street corner and your altars to idols in every square. You have been worse than a prostitute, so eager for sin that you have not even demanded payment for your love! 

 

Yes, you are an adulterous wife who takes in strangers instead of her own husband. 
Eze 16:33   Prostitutes charge for their services-but not you! You give gifts to your lovers, bribing them to come to you.  So you are the opposite of other prostitutes. No one pays you; instead, you pay them!  "Therefore, you prostitute, listen to this message from the Lord! 

 

Do you see why we must forgive other sinners?  The answer is above. When we were apart from God, we committed adultery against GOD. We were no different than a cheap whore. These are the words God uses to describe our ungodly state. These are not Robert R. Barney’s words, they are GODS!

 

 So you see the importance of the article. God wants us to be happy. Have a great sex life and HE has blessed us with great benefits for engaging in it.  A long happy, heart healthy, cancer free, sexually active life into old age. After all, we read the Abraham had Isaac when he was 100 years old and Sarah, his wife was ninety! Isaac was a blessing from God yes, but it shows that the two were still having sex ! (Jer 29:6 Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.)

 

Read you Bible! It’s not boring. It is the best seller of all time, and for a great reason: The author is the greatest writer of all time!

 

 

 

Little Known Facts:
 Did you know the Bible talks about incest!
  Gen 6:4   In those days, and even afterward, giants[fn1] lived on the earth, for whenever the sons of God had intercourse with human women, they gave birth to children who became the heroes mentioned in legends of old.  Gen 19:5   They shouted to Lot, "Where are the men who came to spend the night with you? Bring them out so we can havesex with them."  Gen 19:31   One day the older daughter said to her sister, "There isn't a man anywhere in this entire area for us to marry. And our father will soon be too old to have children. 

 

Gen 19:32   Come, let's get him drunk with wine, and then we will sleep with him. That way we will preserve our family line through our father."  Gen 19:33   So that night they got him drunk, and the older daughter went in and slept with her father. He was unaware of her lying down or getting up again. 

 

Gen 19:34   The next morning the older daughter said to her younger sister, "I slept with our father last night. Let's get him drunk with wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him. That way our family line will be preserved."  Gen 19:35   So that night they got him drunk again, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. As before, he was unaware of her lying down or getting up again.   Gen 19:36   So both of Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father.

 

 What the Bible has to say about a moral love affair.
These passages are taken from Song of Songs and it is in YOUR Bible! What do you think “raisins and apples” mean, or “private garden.”
Sgs 1:4   Take me with you. Come, let's run! Bring me into your bedroom
Sgs 2:5   Oh, feed me with your love-your `raisins' and your `apples'-for I am utterly lovesick! 
Sgs 4:5   Your breasts are like twin fawns of a gazelle, feeding among the lilies. 
Sgs 4:12   "You are like a private garden, my treasure, my bride! You are like a spring that no one else can drink from, a fountain of my own. 
Sgs 4:13   You are like a lovely orchard bearing precious fruit, with the rarest of perfumes: 
Sgs 6:12   Before I realized it, I found myself in my princely bed with my beloved one
Sgs 8:10   "I am chaste, and I am now full breasted. And my lover is content with me.

The USSA of R

I first wrote this commentary way back in September of 2008 - even before Barack Obama was crowned emperor!  Take a look and tell me what you think. Was I mainly right?

 

commentary by Bob Barney

Today we have witnessed what I wrote about last spring about the eventual demise of the United States as a superpower and the Biblical outlook that we are destined to be destroyed by aliens among us as well as our dishonest leaders in Washington, with the nationalization of Fannie and Freddie, comrades Bush, Paulson and Bernanke has begun the conversion of the USA into the USSA (United Socialist State of America). This metamorphosis of the United States into a country where there is socialism for only the rich and well connected.  Wall Street (i.e. where profits are privatized and losses are socialized) continues  today with the nationalization of AIG as being owned by Uncle Sam!

This most recent exploit on AIG accompanies a diversity of many other policy actions that suggest a massive government intrusion in the financial markets and the economy: the bailout of the Bear Stearns; the bailout of Fannie and Freddie; the use of the Fed balance sheet (hundreds of billions of safe US Treasuries swapped for junk toxic  private securities); the use of the other GSEs (the Federal Home Loan Bank system) to provide hundreds of billions of dollars of "liquidity" to hard-pressed, illiquid and bankrupt mortgage lenders; the use of the SEC to falsify the stock market (restrictions on short sales); the use of the US Treasury to juggle with the mortgage market (Treasury will now for the first time outright buy agency MBS to manipulate and prop up this market); the invention of a whole host of new bailout facilities (TAF, TSLF, PDCF) to prop and rescue crooked banks and, for the first time since the Great Depression, to bail out non-bank financial institutions; the recent extension of the collateral available for the TSLF and PDCF facilities to a much wider range of toxic securities including equities and thus allowing the Fed to effectively manipulate even the stock market; Furthermore, a whole range of other executive and legislative actions (including the recent bill to provide a public guarantee to mortgages for banks willing to reduce their face value).

The Shocking Plain Truth About Mohammed and the Dome of the Rock

By Bob Barney

Bob Barney

CBS won't tell you, ABC won't tell you, not even Fox News will tell you but the Plain Truth about "The Third Holiest Site in Islam" for Muslims is a 20th century HOAX! According to historians, Jerusalem's role as "The Third Holiest Site in Islam" in mainstream Islamic writings does not precede the 1930s. In fact the word Jerusalem NEVER appears in the Koran! Never! Mohammed was never there. Ther isn't one account of him being there until 1930! Why 1930? Well we all know that is about the time when many Jews fleeing Nazi Germany was starting to move back to the land of Israel and a move went out to try and prevent this from happening by inventing the story. Yes, the Muslims invaded Jerusalem and conquered it, built the Dome of the Rock, but they did so to commemorate the story of Abraham and not Mohamed....

 

Is life for you about to change forever?

By Bob Barney

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.

The 25 Best Reasons Kenny Christiansen Could Be Skyjacker 'D.B. Cooper'

It's been 40 years ago this week. A guy named D.B. Cooper boarded a Northwest Airlines 727 and became a part of history. I remember this event well, even as a high school student in Connecticut. I was fascinated over the years whether or not the man was killed, or made it. After watching a History Channel report on this event yesterday, I have become 95% convinced that Kenny Christiansen was D.B. Cooper. Here is the evidence:

Who will the pigeons run too?

By Bob Barney:

There’s a rock n roll song written by Bob Dylan titled “the mighty Quinn.” I’m not sure if there are supposed to be any hidden religious meanings behind the words to this song, but there is a line, “But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here, all the pigeons are going to run to him.” Now, some make the claim that it’s nothing more than a drug song and the pigeons are the users-the junkies. It might be the case. However, the line has always meant something far different to me, and probably to me alone. Here goes my little story of liberals, do-gooders, religious phonies, the greedy and God Almighty Himself. I will use verses from the song several times and I hope you see the point of this little fairy tale of Quinn the Eskimo. You may never hear this song in the same way again.

The Coming King of the North: Merkel Calls for 'New Europe'

Daniel 11:

       Notes in black are mine (Bob Barney)  

³⁶ "The king of the North  (This is a Hitler-like leader, probably from Germany, which are the descendants of ancient Assyrians, and rule the revival of the Holy Roman Empire, the beast of Revelation) will do whatever he wants. He will brag about himself and praise himself and think he is even better than a god. He will say things against the God of gods that no one has ever heard. And he will be successful until all the bad things have happened. Then what God has planned to happen will happen.³⁷ The king of the North will not care about the gods his ancestors worshiped or the god that women worship. He won't care about any god. Instead, he will make himself more important than any god.³⁸ The king of the North will worship power and strength, which his ancestors did not worship. He will honor the god of power with gold and silver, expensive jewels and gifts.³⁹ That king will attack strong, walled cities with the help of a foreign god. He will give much honor to the people who join him, making them rulers in charge of many other people. And he will make them pay him for the land they rule.

 ⁴⁰ "At the time of the end, the king of the South  (this is the leader of a United States of the Muslim Nations, composing of all north Africa through Pakistan.) will fight a battle against the king of the North. The king of the North will attack with chariots, soldiers on horses, and many large ships. He will invade many countries and sweep through their lands like a flood.⁴¹ The king of the North will attack the beautiful land of Judah (the real name for the nation called "Israel" today). He will defeat many countries, but Edom, Moab, and the leaders of Ammon will be saved from him.⁴² The king of the North will show his power in many countries; Egypt will not escape.⁴³ The king will get treasures of gold and silver and all the riches of Egypt. The Libyan and Nubian people will obey him.⁴⁴ But the king of the North will hear news from the east and the north  (Russia) that will make him afraid and angry. He will go to destroy completely many nations.⁴⁵ He will set up his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful mountain where the holy Temple (Jerusalem) is built. But, finally, his end will come, and no one will help him.  New Century Version.

 

Italian borrowing costs reached breaking point on Wednesday after Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's insistence on elections instead of an interim government opened the way to prolonged instability and delays to economic reform.

Italian 10-year bond yields shot above the 7 percent level that is widely deemed unsustainable, reflecting investors' concerns that they may not get their money back and prompting German Chancellor Angela Merkel to issue a call to arms.

Merkel said Europe's plight was now so "unpleasant'' that deep structural reforms were needed quickly, warning the rest of the world would not wait.

"That will mean more Europe, not less Europe,'' she told a conference in Berlin.

She called for changes in EU treaties after French President Nicolas Sarkozy advocated a two-speed Europe in which euro zone countries accelerate and deepen integration while an expanding group outside the currency bloc stayed more loosely connected — a signal that some members may have to quit the euro if the entire structure is not to crumble.

Merkel Calls for 'Breakthrough to a New Europe'

"It is time for a breakthrough to a new Europe,'' Merkel said. "A community that says, regardless of what happens in the rest of the world, that it can never again change its ground rules, that community simply can't survive.''

A senior EU official said changing the make-up of the euro zone has been discussed on an "intellectual" level but had not moved to operational or technical discussions, while a French government source said there was no such project in the works.

Such steps are also opposed by many EU countries, whose backing would be needed for any adjustments to the bloc's treaties, making them anything but a done deal.

"This will unravel everything our forebears have painstakingly built up and repudiate all that they stood for in the past sixty years," one EU diplomat told Reuters. "This is not about a two-speed Europe, we already have that. This will redraw the map geopolitically and give rise to new tensions. It could truly be the end of Europe as we know it."

Nonetheless, the Franco-German motor has generally been the driving force in steps forward for European integration.

Leviticus 26-Warning to America

Today there are three stories concerning the how far America has moved away from the God that made this country the strongest nation ever to exist in this world. (Jesus' name ruled 'unconstitutional' - North Carolina! 

Report: Top Muslim adviser blocks Obama meeting with Christian leader   

  Congressman: Muslim Obama adviser leaked secret reports to media)   From a judge in North Carolina who calls the name of Jesus "unconstitutional" to Muslim traitors working for our own government, attempting to destroy this nation, and a president who at least is a closet Muslim! We as Americans are staying silent, while Judges, Muslims, Communist and other Satan inspired evil people are spitting at the Face of God Almighty! Are we going to continue? Do we not realize that God will not hold us blameless, that we are all guilty of this grave sin against Heaven if we stay silent?  Read what God is telling you today-- right now!

Leviticus 26

Blessings for Obedience (also read Deuteronomy 28)

Forward: This chapter is for ISRAEL. This is for Great Britain, and The United States of America for today as much as it was in the days of Moses! This is our message. These are our warnings and blessings! The words of God are in RED. The Hebrew word for God is Yahweh, translated LORD. Yahweh is the personal name of Jesus Christ! (Read Exodus 3:14 AND John 8:58 as absolute proof of this fact!) Elohim is the uni-plural Hebrew name for the God FAMILY! It is one group containing more than one being!

1 Do not make idols or set up carved images, or sacred pillars, or sculptured stones in your land so you may worship them. I am the LORD(Jesus) your God(The Godhead-Jesus and The Father).

2 Keep my Sabbaths, and revere my sanctuary; I am the LORD(Jesus).

Blessing for obedience:

3 If you follow my statutes and keep my Commandments and observe them faithfully,

4 I will send you the seasonal rains. The land will then yield its crops, and the trees of the field will produce their fruit.

5 Your threshing season will overlap with the grape harvest, and your grape harvest will overlap with the season of planting grain. You will eat your fill and live securely in your own land.

6 I will grant you peace in the land, and you will be able to sleep with no cause for fear. I will rid the land of wild animals and keep your enemies out of your land.

            {What a perfect picture of the USA in the 1850'5-1950's!}

7 In fact, you will chase down your enemies and slaughter them with your swords.

                            { Until Korea-Vietnam, we didn't lose a war!}

8 Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand! All your enemies will fall beneath your sword.

9 I will turn toward you, make you productive, increase your numbers and uphold my covenant with you.

10 You will have such a surplus of crops that you will need to clear out the old grain to make room for the new harvest!

{I remember as a child reading the World Book Encyclopedia and looking at the vast stores of grains in warehouses the size of little cities! We were the food basket to the entire world!}

 

11 I will live among you, and I will not despise you.

{God has been with us! He was welcomed by our fathers before us and it is God, and not our form of government that has made us so rich and the envy of the world!}

12 I will walk among you; I will be your God(Elohim/Theos), and you will be my people. {God has walked with us! He has been here! He can walk with you today! Be His friend, obey Him and he will walk with you too!}

 

13 I am the LORD(Jesus) [of the] God(Godhead), who brought you out of the land of Egypt so you would no longer be their slaves. I broke the yoke of slavery from your neck so you can walk with your heads held high.

Punishments for Disobedience This has been our fate now for almost 50 years! We have forgotten our God and GOD's LAWS, and we are reaping our reward for it... Read that “reward” below. 

 

14 However, if you do not listen to me or obey all these commands,

15 and if you break my covenant by rejecting my statutes and treat my regulations with contempt, and refusing to obey my Commandments,

16 I will punish you. I will bring sudden terrors upon you—wasting diseases and burning fevers that will cause your eyes to fail and your life to ebb away. You will plant your crops in vain because your alien enemies will eat them.

17 I will turn against you, and you will be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you, and you will run even when no one is chasing you!

{Like President Obama and others to come, plus the Liberal Left who hates us! They despise who we really are! Now these, our enemies are ruling over us!}

18 And if, in spite of all this, you still disobey me, I will punish you seven times over for your sins.

SEVEN TIMES = 7 times a time (a year) or 7 X 360 = 2520 years!

19 I will break the pride you have in your own power by making the skies as unyielding as iron and the earth as hard as bronze.

20 All your work will be for nothing, for your land will yield no crops, and your trees will bear no fruit.

{Famine coming to the USA!}

21 If even then you remain hostile toward me and refuse to obey me, I will inflict disaster on you seven times over for your sins.

22 I will send wild animals that will rob you of your children and destroy your livestock. Your numbers will dwindle, and your roads will be deserted.

23 And if, in spite of all this, you refuse my correction and still go against me;

24 then I{Jesus) myself will be hostile toward you. I will personally strike you with calamity seven times over for your sins.

25 I will send armies against you to carry out the curse of the covenant you have broken. When you run to your towns for safety, I will send a plague to destroy you there, and you will be handed over to your enemies.

{The invasion by our enemies in our own soil! Like 9-11}

26 I will destroy your food supply, so that ten women will need only one oven to bake bread for their families. They will ration your food by weight, and though you have food to eat, you will not be satisfied.

27 If in spite of all this you still refuse to listen and still remain hostile toward me,

28 then I will give full vent to my hostility. I myself will punish you seven times over for your sins.

29 Then you will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters. { Cannibalism }

30 I will destroy your pagan shrines and knock down your churches. I will leave your lifeless corpses piled on top of your lifeless idols, and I will despise you.

31 I will make your cities desolate and destroy your places of pagan worship. I will take no pleasure in your offerings that should be a pleasing aroma to me.

32 Yes, I myself [Jesus HIMSELF} will devastate your land, and your enemies who come to occupy it will be appalled at what they see. {Even our enemies will be shocked!}

33 I will scatter you among the nations and bring out my sword against you. Your land will become desolate, and your cities will lie in ruins.

{Our fate is that we will be overtaken by our aliens living among us and selling us into slavery, winding up in other foreign lands.}

34 Then at last the land will enjoy its neglected Sabbath years as it lies desolate while you are in exile in the land of your enemies. Then the land will finally rest and enjoy the Sabbaths it missed.

35 Yes, as long as it lies desolate it will have rest, the rest it did not have during your Sabbaths, when you lived there.

36 As for those of you who are left, I will fill their hearts with anxiety in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a driven leaf will frighten them, so that they will flee as one flees from the sword and fall when no one is pursuing.

{PANIC ATTACKS.. Mass panic attacks will be caused by TERRORISM! Terrorism = panic!}

37 Though no one is chasing you, you will stumble over each other as though fleeing from a sword. You will have no power to stand up against your enemies.

38 You will die among the foreign nations and be devoured in the land of your enemies.

39 Those of you who survive will waste away in your enemies’ lands because of their sins and the sins of their ancestors.

{We will be captives, probably Europe and the Middle East}

40 But if they confess their sins and the iniquity of their ancestors, in that they committed treachery against me and, moreover, that they continued hostile to me—

41 so that I, in turn, continued hostile to them and brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled and they make amends for their sins,

42 then I will remember my covenant with Jacob and my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.

43 For the land must be abandoned to enjoy its years of Sabbath rest as it lies deserted. At last the people will pay for their sins, for they have continually hated my laws and despised my decrees.

44 But despite all this, I will not utterly reject or despise them while they are in exile in the land of their enemies. I will not cancel my covenant with them by wiping them out, for I am the LORD(JESUS) their God(Jesus is God).

45 For their sakes I will remember my ancient covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of all the nations, that I might be their God(Jesus is God). I am the LORD(JESUS).'

46 These are the decrees, regulations, and instructions that the LORD(JESUS) gave through Moses on Mount Sinai as evidence of the relationship between himself and the Israelites.

Pope calls for 1 World Bank! Yes, the beast is rising in Europe

The Vatican called on Monday for the establishment of a “global public authority” and a “central world bank” to rule over financial institutions that have become outdated and often ineffective in dealing fairly with crises. The document from the Vatican’s Justice and Peace department should please the “Occupy Wall Street” demonstrators and similar movements around the world who have protested against the economic downturn.

“Towards Reforming the International Financial and Monetary Systems in the Context of a Global Public Authority,” was at times very specific, calling, for example, for taxation measures on financial transactions. “The economic and financial crisis which the world is going through calls everyone, individuals and peoples, to examine in depth the principles and the cultural and moral values at the basis of social coexistence,” it said.   More>>>>>>>

Why Is The Middle East Always Going To Be In YOUR Future

First Published Dec 14 2008

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 ONLY after 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?

Voting for a Republican or a Democrat or a even Libertarian will not change a thing concerning the middle east. Getting off of oil will not change the tension between Arab nations and America or Israel. It is time that the "average Joe or Jane" understands what  is going to happen in their lifetime. The staff of The Plain Truth realize that it is hard to believe, but one can understand in broad terms what is going to happen and what is not going to happen in the future. Hopefully by reading this, you have decided to at least be informed and make intellectual choices for once. You will not get propaganda here. In fact, we will teach you how to recognize propaganda! It is easy to spot.

Good luck, be a little patient, and you will enjoy our one-of-a-kind stories and articles. You will learn things that you never knew and we encourage you to look up everything that we write to prove to yourself just what is reality, and what is not. We welcome intellectual feedback, honest opinions and we will not tolerate proganda or distasteful posts. Thanks.

 

So what is the truth about Mormonism? Are they "Christian" or something else?

Editor's Note: This is an article we first published in December of 2007

By Bob Barney

 The Plain Truth wants people to be informed and educated. Don't just listen to the news, or read a paper or watch a few TV news shows. The Bible calls Satan the "prince of the air" and this can surely be seen with today's news being sent through "the air" to your TV sets and radios. Most of what you hear and see is biased. There is not just a Liberal left, but there is also a Biased Right! Truth of lies somewhere else, and since there is no truth in the Devil, according to Jesus, we should try to research everything as much as possible. The Plain Truth can be found, but it is not often easy.

There's a lot of discussion about what Mormons (and Mitt Romney) believe lately. So, in order to make this easy, I will list out what Mormonism actually teaches quickly and easily. These are not sensationalized, and inaccurate statements. I am using the information below (in blue) as direct quotes from: http://www.carm.org/lds/mormon_beliefs.htm. MY COMMENTS are in RED

Following documentation from Mormon authors.  Finally, please understand that the Mormon Church uses Christian terms but has radically changed the meanings of those terms.  So, when it says that Mormons belief in the father the son and the Holy Spirit, they really saying they believe in a God from another planet, with a goddess wife, who literally as the father of Jesus, and that there is a spirit being, of the Holy Ghost, and is another God.
These are Mormon beliefs

 

Property Rights? Think again-United States v. 434 Main Street, Tewksbury, Mass. (The Motel Caswell)

Forward By Bob Bob Barney: I have already experienced an out of control local government that tried to steal my property away from me several years ago, under the guise of a fire marshall! These Gestapo type thugs, wearing guns came down on our business like a bunch of terrorist and tried every attempt they could do to take my property from me, close me down, with no intention of any compensation! Could it be because the expansion of ODU (Old Dominion University) be the cause? Well, if you ask the dozens of fellow merchants in my area who has also been harassed, they will agree that ODU and confiscation of property are the sole motivation of this attack.

United States v. 434 Main Street, Tewksbury, Mass. (The Motel Caswell)
Federal & Local Law Enforcement Agencies Try to Take Family Motel from Innocent Owners

Imagine you own a million-dollar piece of property free and clear, but then the federal government and local law enforcement agents announce that they are going to take it from you, not compensate you one dime, and then use the money they get from selling your land to pad their budgets—all this even though you have never so much as been accused of a crime, let alone convicted of one.

That is the nightmare Russ Caswell and his family is now facing in Tewksbury, Mass., where they stand to lose the family-operated motel they have owned for two generations.

Seeking to circumvent state law and cash in on the profits, the Tewksbury Police Department is working with the U.S. Department of Justice to take and sell the Caswells property because a tiny fraction of people who have stayed at the Motel Caswell during the past 20 years have been arrested for crimes.  Keep in mind, the Caswells themselves have worked closely with law enforcement officials to prevent and report crime on their property.  And the arrests the government complains of represent less than .05 percent of the 125,000 rooms the Caswells have rented over that period of time.

Despite all this, the Caswells stand to lose literally everything they have worked for because of this effort by federal and local law enforcement officials not to pursue justice, but rather to police for profit.

How widespread is the problem of civil forfeiture abuse nationwide?  In 1986, the year after the U.S. Department of Justice’s Asset Forfeiture Fund was created—the fund that holds the forfeiture proceeds from properties forfeited under federal law and available to be paid out to law enforcement agencies—took in just $93.7 million.  Today it holds more than $1.6 billion.

The Institute for Justice, a national public interest law firm that fights civil forfeiture abuse nationwide, is now representing the Caswells in defense of their property and their constitutional rights.

Today is the Last Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles

Yesterday, I wrote concerning the last Day of the 7-Day Feast of Tabernacles, a time of great joy and “vacation” for the members of God's Church. The Feast week symbolizes the 1,000 year reign of Christ on earth known as the Millennium. During this time we leave home and dwell in booths (temporary dwellings) for seven days, to teach us that we are strangers and pilgrims on this earth, looking forward to a New Heavens and New Earth. Today is yet another Holy day. It is known as the 8^th Day of the Feast, but in all reality, it is a separate holiday called THE LAST GREAT DAY, and this day has a very important message. It is called in the Bible a special Sabbath Day. It is to be treated as any Sabbath. We are not to work, and we are to hold a sacred church service. Leviticus 23:36, 39, . . . “on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly [margin: "day of restraint"]; and ye shall do no servile work therein . . . on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.”

 

Exodus 23:14-17 states , “Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto Me in the year . . . the feast of unleavened bread . . . the feast of harvest, the firstfruits [Pentecost] of thy labors, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the [agricultural, civil] year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field. Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.”

 

In the New Testament, we read: "In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink. He that believeth on Me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake He of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive . . . ." Jesus chose this day because it has great significance in the plan of God and the salvation of mankind and our rebirth as members into the God Family!

Yesterday, the last day of the feast is the forerunner of Revelation 20:11-15, "And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, . . . And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

During the Last Great Day of the Feast we are to visualize God THE FATHER leaving heaven, and moving His throne to earth to live here with us! We are not going to heaven- Heaven is coming to us! In Revelation 21: “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a beautiful bride prepared for her husband. I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, "Look, the home of God is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God (the Father) himself will be with them. He will remove all of their sorrows, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. For the old world and its evils are gone forever." ”

Yes, there is a paradise coming. It is a paradise on earth, where we are to live with God (Jesus and the Father) for all eternity, as actual members of the God Family.

The Last Day of the Feast- What does it mean?

Today marks the seventh day of the Feast of Tabernacles. The first and last days of this 7 day holyday are considered special Sabbaths and a Holy assembly is required by God for those in His church that follows these days. Tomorrow is actually another separate holy day called The LAST GREAT DAY. More will be written about this tomorrow. The first day of the feast represents the first year of the Millennium after Jesus has returned to earth, established his Government; ruled by His Laws (The Ten Commandments) when Sabbaths will be re-instituted to the world (Isa 66:23 ) to follow. The seventh day of this festival is marked by another special Sabbath, and today represents the last year in the 1,000 year reign of Christ. All enemies have been put down, and Christ, along with all resurrected Christians will ready themselves for the final judgement of God. The rest of all the dead who never obeyed Christ will be resurrected from the dead for judgement (Rev 20:5 ), where the Books are opened and all mankind are individually judged- some to live again under God, and others to be burned up forever and totally destroyed (no there is no eternal suffering for bad people in hell!).

In Isaiah 2:2-4, we read "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." and also: Isaiah 11:6, 9, "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them . . . . They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea."

This is the awesome fate of all mankind! We are to judge mankind and the angels in the world to come, and this holiday commemorates this tremendous task yet to come! In Revelation 2:26-27, John states: "And he that overcometh, and keepeth My works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron . . . ." 5:10, "And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth." 20:4, "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: . . . and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years."

This is why we are to keep this feast! Zechariah 14:16-19, "And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left . . . shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. . . . This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles."

Tomorrow-- THE GREAT LAST DAY and what it represents!

America in Biblical Prophecy

Are Modern Nations Really Talked About in the Bible and who is the USA?

By Bob Barney

When we read the Bible, which was written about 2,000-3,000 years ago, we often don't get the "feel of it" and how it relates to what is going on today, especially when reading prophecy about the end times and which nations are going to be involved. We read about Israel, of course, as well as Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Ethiopia and a list of unrecognizable nations and names. Yet what about nations like  China, Russia, Germany, Italy, England or the United States? Why aren't they mentioned in our Bible?  How can it be, if the Bible is the word of God, that he didn't know that these modern nations would exist? After all, if God knows the future, didn't God know about the United States or Europe or China? How can we trust prophecy or understand it when most of the time the scenario just doesn't fit what we know about the world today? Is there going to be another Assyrian Empire as the Bible claims? Does Assyria even exist today? Is Greece going to be the most powerful nation under another Alexander the Great as the book of Daniel suggests? It doesn't seem very likely to me and I am sure not to most of you either. Are we indeed living in the end times and how can we know what to look for and what today's news means? Will the world as we know it really ever end, as Jesus foretold?

The United States of Europe prophecy being fulfilled!

By Bob Barney

What's in store for Germany and European Union and what will it mean to YOU?

The late Herbert W. Armstrong, when he was the editor of The Plain Truth Magazine (not connected to this website) was the only voice in the world who foretold consistent prophecies and warnings published over the years in the Plain Truth magazine concerning the future of Europe, Germany and the eventual rise of the Holy Roman Empire.  Most laughed when he coined the phrase "The United States of Europe."  Here are a few excerpts:

The PLAIN TRUTH, June, 1952, p. 11: "The 10 `horns'...in the 17th chapter [of the Book of Revelation] ...will be...the revival of the BEAST, the Roman Empire, `out of the bottomless pit,' by a `United States of Europe,' or federation of 10 European nations within the bounds of the old Roman Empire*."

The PLAIN TRUTH, November, 1954, p. 7: "Word comes from the College of Cardinals that the possibility of the new pope being chosen (when that becomes a necessity) from the ranks other than Italian is not too remote. The next pope could be the man who will unite Europe!"

The PLAIN TRUTH, February, 1962, p. 5: "On the WORLD TOMORROW program, and in the pages of the PLAIN TRUTH, we have been shouting to a heedless world for [many] years this was going to occur...it would come as an ECONOMIC force, bringing unprecedented prosperity to Europe. But also, it is to become a political and military combine—a gigantic third power bloc in the world, that will include more population, greater man-power, and possibly even greater military resources than either the United States or Russia. When this giant combine—a United States of EUROPE—finally emerges as such before a startled and dumbfounded world, it will last only a very short time. It will fight against Jesus Christ at His Second Coming!"

The PLAIN TRUTH, March, 1963, p. 3: "...a German STRONG MAN is the logical choice to ascend to the helm of the new POLITICALLY UNITED EUROPE."

Not only did Armstrong see a united Europe, he also proclaimed a UNIFIED Germany and the destruction of the Berlin Wall!

The PLAIN TRUTH, October, 1964, p. 48: "Germany—A UNITED GERMANY with her former territories restored—is ready to emerge as the strongest nation on earth at the head of a revitalized...Europe! The power colossus is then going to deal a death blow to the United States and Britain..."

The PLAIN TRUTH, December, 1964, p. 16: "...God shows that in this end time He is going to use the modern Assyrians...the Germans—to dominate a United Europe."

The PLAIN TRUTH, October, 1968. [Editor's note: Herbert W. Armstrong's son, Garner Ted, had just returned from Munich and Bonn, following interviews with the late Franz Josef Strauss, who was then head of the Christian Socialist Union of Bavaria, and former Defense Minister. The article in the October issue included a lengthy question and answer session with Herr Strauss]. p. 6: "One of our major conditions [Strauss said] is that the desire for admission to the Common Market is not based upon the motivation to impede political integration. We want...members who are ready and prepared to join us on the way toward a political integration with the long-run goal of the United States of Europe." Later, underlining the fact that Strauss had become a strong proponent of European acquisition of nuclear weapons, he said, "I believe the Europeans should take more responsibility for their own defense...I see as the only chance... that of building up a Europe—integrating the Federal Republic of Germany into that Europe and building bridges from an attractive, economically powerful, political and influential Europe which can defend herself—including a nuclear potential—to add to the power of the Europeans."

Armstrong's son, Garner Ted Armstrong wrote: "I have been predicting the eventual creation of a "United States of Europe" for more than 45 years on radio and television, in many articles and in major booklets. Continually, I have emphasized that the eventual "Beast" power which is prophesied to emerge will not grow gradually out of the present 15-nation configuration, which includes nations I believe are part of the so-called "lost ten tribes of Israel." Those nations include Britain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Holland, Belgium, and northern France. For decades, I have predicted that Britain would NOT be a part of the final ten nations which will form. Now, with the German Chancellor wanting to hurry the process of developing a European Superstate, with Germany playing the pivotal role, Britain is appalled."

"If you have not yet read my book Europe and America in Prophecy, please call or write for your free copy immediately. We had run completely out of stocks due to high demand, and I have ordered it reprinted."

Now from TODAY's 'Der Spiegel', Germany's largest newspaper are these ominous words:

Is Germany's Finance Minister Going Rogue?

He used to be regarded as Germany's safest pair of hands when it comes to the euro crisis. Now, criticism of Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble is growing within the government parties. Some believe that Schäuble wants to exploit the crisis to push through his vision of a United States of Europe. By SPIEGEL Staff.

Private Family Foundations - Charities or Tax Evasion?

By Bob Barney:

      Almost everyone wants to help those in need, and I am no exception. Part of the "tithe" I give to God is in the money that I give to charities and food banks. Jesus said that when you help the poor and hungery, you are actually helping him!  It is our duty to give to the needy. God expects it. However, there is also a warning that I want to shout from the rooftop! Is it really a charity you are supporting, or is it just a tax evasion scheme, devised by clever lawyers to keep rich people RICH!  When the Federal Government is $14 trillion in debt, you should be paying extra attention to those so-called charities that are actually robbing from you in tax dollars and giving to the owner of the charity and not to those needy people you think you are helping.

The Plain Truth, and our sister site RaceRap.Com has helped raise over $150,000 in the past 10 years for charities which we have checked out throughly. We asked the tough questions, and frankly have found many charities that we have refused to help. There are guidelines that one should follow when donating or supporting a charity.

Does the charity???

• devote at least 75% of its budget to program??  (I would actually look for over 85%)
• Have a mission statement on the organization’s Web site to see that the group has clear goals and the ability to execute them?
• Have published finanicials?
• Have results? To know this, you will need to know what the mission statement is and if it has clear goals. For instance, if it is a program to help abused children, see how many children or childrens' facilities have been assisted in a given amount of time.
  
  

Just because a celebrity puts their name on a charity doesn't make it worth anything!

Madonna wants to sue the director of her foundation, Raising Malawi, to recover $3.8 million in squandered donations meant to build a school in the impoverished African country. Staffers of Raising Malawi are suing Madonna for lost wages.  (Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2011/03/29/beware-celebrity-charities-madonna-malawi-chairty-fiasco-shows-risks-unproven/#ixzz1KM9wupqD)

Consumers should try to vet any charity, celebrity run or otherwise, that they donate money to. But Art Taylor, President and CEO of the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance, says that celebrity charities deserve an extra dose of skepticism and donors should be careful about being wooed by a famous face.

“Celebrity in itself shouldn’t ever be the sole indicator of a charity’s reliability.  Look for information about the charity, not the celebrity,” Taylor advises. “Be wary of newly established charities with as yet little to offer beyond the celebrity connection.  A good organization may be in the making, but only a track record can give assurance.”

The Charitable Family Trust: Just who gets the charity money?

         Are you aware why many celebritities and millionaires set up charities, known as family trusts?  The shocking answer may make you mad! Are you aware that they government doesn't require much of the charity's money to be spent on the charity! JUST 5%!!!!!   Look at this example:

Let's suppose you leave (or raise from others) $2,000,000 for your Private Family Foundation. The IRS says you must distribute at least $100,000 (or 5%) to recognized charities in order for the Foundation to qualify for its special tax advantages. Of course, you can select a higher payout if you choose. But five percent is the absolute minimum.

The annual payout is established when you first sit down with a qualified estate attorney who has experience working with large estates. And the difference between what the assets earn (e.g. 6% per year) and the mandatory payout can be put back into the Foundation.

What advantages does this millionaire get?

• Special Tax Advantages:    Private Family Foundations have special tax advantages, because they are considered "charitable organizations" themselves. Because of this classification, any earnings on Foundation assets are tax-exempt, and can be distribute to the charities you choose.  If established properly, a private family foundation can often avoid capital gains taxes on highly-appreciated assets. In addition, interest and investment earnings that are not slapped with an income tax can instead be used to help the charities or causes you support.
• Immediate Tax Benefits: If you have highly-appreciated assets that you're holding to avoid steep capital gains taxes, a Private Family Foundation could help. Any appreciated assets that you transfer to a Private Family Foundation can be sold by the Foundation with no capital gains taxes. This is because of the Foundation's charitable status.   Second, you can get an immediate tax deduction for any money or property to grant to the Foundation. This deduction can equal up to 30% of your adjusted gross income (20% for appreciated property). Any income tax deduction not used in your contribution year may be carried forward over the next five years.  The valuation of these deductions depends on a number of things, including original cost and the type of property being transferred.  
•  Estate Tax Benefits:  Every dollar that you contribute to your Private Family Foundation means one less dollar that is included in your estate. Gifts that are regularly made to charities can instead be used to fund your PFF. And if you are in a higher tax bracket, that could ultimately save up to 46% in estate taxes.   Best of all, you can make such contributions to a Private Family Foundation without affecting the $12,000 annual gift tax exclusion or the current $1 million Gift Tax Credit . 
• Employment for the Family:   You may arrange for your heirs and descendants to receive salaries as "employees" of your Foundation. Simply name family members as replacement trustees to succeed you after death or resignation.  Many Foundations pay their directors using the difference between their required distributions and their annual income. If your Foundation is earning 10% annually on its assets, but only paying 5% annually to charities, the difference can be distribute for legitimate expenses, including salaries for the directors of the Foundation. 

Private Family Foundations can also be combined with Charitable Remainder and Charitable Lead Trusts. By doing so, you may able to draw a significant income for your lifetimes and earn significant tax savings, while still maintaining a large degree of control of your assets.

So friends, beware of supporting charities without research, especially those with celebrity names attached to them. RICH PEOPLE DID NOT GET RICH GIVING THEIR MONEY AWAY!!!! Buyer (or giver) BEWARE!

Today is the Feast of Trumpets

By: Bob Barney

Many do not realize it, but God has His own set of Holy Days (Holidays) mentioned in the pages of the Bible. The holy days that Jesus followed, as well as the apostles and the early church were not the so-called "Christian" holidays such as Easter, Christmas or Halloween! No, the days that Jesus and his followers observed were:

• Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread

• The Feast of First Fruits

• Penetecost or the Feast of Weeks

• Feast of Trumpets (today)

• Day of Atonement

• Feast of Tabernacles

• The Sabbath

Seven in all! Seven is a number of completion to God. This is why the seventh day of the week is the Sabbath Day. The Sabbath symbolizes the completion of the week.

The Bible not only mentions the days God ordained for His people to observe, it also states that the observance of these days will be mandated during the Millennium! Yes, there is a prophecy that states that the nation of Egypt will be punished for refusing to make holy the Feast of Tabernacles (a week long Feast of God beginning in 15 days.) This is found in the minor prophet Zechariah 14:16-19:

16 Then all of the survivors from the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go there each year to worship the King, the LORD(Jesus) of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

 

17 And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD(Jesus) Almighty (of hosts), on them there will be no rain.

 

18 If the Egyptians refuse to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles, then they will be struck by the same disease that the LORD(Jesus) will send on every nation that refuses to go.

 

19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

 

20 On that day even the harness bells of the horses will be inscribed with these words: SET APART AS HOLY TO THE LORD. And the cooking pots in the Temple of the LORD will be as sacred as the basins used beside the altar.

 

21 Every cooking pot in Jerusalem and in all Judah will be set apart for use in the worship of the LORD(Jesus) Almighty. The people who offer sacrifices will use them for boiling the meat of the sacrifices. When that time comes, there will no longer be any merchant in the Temple of the LORD(Jesus) Almighty.

So goes the argument that the Holy Days have been abolished! Right? Maybe that is why Paul kept them feast! See Acts 18:21 for the New Testament proof of God's Holy Days.

A problem does occur however, and that is the calendar of God. The Bible is not clear concerning the particulars of the calendar and a brief search into the subject will bring to light that in Jesus' time, each faction that controlled the Temple used different calendars! The Essenes of the Dead Sea Scrolls fame, had themselves a radically different calendar than did the Sadducees and Pharisees. The later used a LUNAR Calendar, the Essenes used a solar calendar. Therefore the dating of these holidays will never be exactly known until the return of Christ. He will re-institute the Law, the Holy Days, The Sabbath AND the true solar calendar.

After many years of study, I came to the conclusion that the calendar that Jesus was following was the same one instituted by Moses, and originally devised by God Himself during the time of Adam and Eve. In a nutshell, the real Calendar given to Moses was a SOLAR based one starting each new year on the spring equinox. I often are asked by non-Jewish people (Jews understand many of the Hebrew words and their meaning) how do we know that the first month of the year falls on or near the spring equinox. It does state in the English Bible when the new month starts. However, in Exodus 34:18 we are told that the first month of the year is ABIB. That is a Hebrew word meaning- the “month of ear-forming, of greening of crop, of growing green.” It is during Abib-springtime, that the month of exodus and passover (March or April) occurs. This is a timeframe NOT controlled by the moon, but rather by the spring equinox.

Moses was raised as an Egyptian. The Egyptians who also followed the SOLAR and not a Lunar-Solar Year, was familiar to Moses. The Hebrew Calendar given to Moses by God was the same as the Egyptian calendar, but started in a different month-- the month of springtime! The year started on the spring equinox (March 20-21) instead of the summer solstice (The Egyptian new year about June 21). The Bible shows beyond any shadow of a doubt that God's calendar only has 12--- 30-day months (which is only 360 days) After the flood, when world calendars were found to be longer than before, the Egyptians added an additional 5-1/4 days of each year. These days are simply NOT COUNTED! This is how God did it too! They had 12--- 30-day months and 5 to 6 extra non-counted days each year and the year ended on the day before the equinox. It's just that simple. The new year was the only thing "fixed". It is fixed on the equinox to make sure that ABIB falls each year in the springtime. So, in Moses' calendar that "fix date" is the spring equinox to make sure Passover always fell on the same solar day! Proof of a 12 month 30 day month year? Revelation says that 1260 days equal 3-1/2 years OR 42 months! Do the math! In the modern Hebrew lunar calendar, 3-1/2 years contains 43 months and not 1260 days! It is PLAIN and simple. In every example given in the Bible, a year only consist of only 12 months and 360 days! The Bible answers all of it's own mysteries. Do you want proof that Jesus did not follow the Jewish Calendar lunar calendar of His day? His Passover was 1 Day BEFORE the Jewish Passover! Nobody ever notices that fact..... He was following another Passover! No, he was not following a “special Passover”, a day earlier, as some say-- READ THE WORDS IN THE BIBLE:

Matthew 26:17 Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, "Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?"

The first day of the feast, Passover (the 14^th of the month) was the day of the last Supper! This obviously implies, the next day, when the Jewish Passover would start, they were following a different date for the time of Passover!

NEW YEARS DAY- In the spring – even in America

Believe it or not, before January 1, 1752 AD New Years Day was celebrated on March 25 in America and England! This is true for England and the British Empire including the American colonies. This fact can be verified by looking at any good almanac or encyclopedia under the entries for March, Calendar, New Year’s Day, January etc. There were both secular and religious calendars in the past, as is still the case today. And these varied from place to place. In many other countries the secular calendars were standardized into the present format in the year 1582. Although, the tradition of January 1 being New Year’s Day goes back to Julius Caesar and his calendar in 46 B.C.

 

The tradition of celebrating the New Year in the Springtime goes back to an ancient Jewish tradition of celebrating it in the month of Nisan, which corresponded to the month of March. It was during this month that the Passover Feast was celebrated. Although the Jews currently celebrate New Years at Harvest time, they used to celebrate it in the Spring according to their ancient Passover tradition. See Exodus chapter 12.

 

Exodus 12:1-11

“The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, ‘This month shall stand at the head of your calendar; you shall reckon it the first month of the year. … every one of your families must procure for itself a lamb … it shall be slaughtered during the evening twilight. … you shall eat like those who are in flight. It is the Passover of the LORD.’ ” [This month is called Abib, Exodus 23:15 – or Nisan, Babylonian name Neh. 2:1, – or March. It occurred in the Springtime near the vernal equinox]

 

“In fact, an ancient Passover poem, used in synagogue liturgy, depicts four great events in salvation history occurring on the same calendar day as Passover: the creation of the universe, the covenant with Abraham, and Israel’s deliverance from Egypt all occurred on the night of the Passover. And it was on this night that the future messianic king was expected to bring redemption.” [ Edward P. Sri’s article “The Heart of the Home” in CFR, (Steubenville: Emmaus Road, 1998) edited by Hahn and Suprenant, pages 165-166, in a reference to poem called the “Poem of the Four Nights,” found in the Jewish targum Neophyti, cited in Lucien Deiss, It’s the Lord’s Supper (London: Collins, 1975), 35.] (SOURCE)
