Someone once asked me, "Bob how can you say in one breath that God has little to nothing to do with this world, yet then say that the USA one of the lost nations of Israel? In addition, that if we do not obey God, our nation will be destroyed by him? Which scenario is it, God involved or Satan’s world?"
I am quite sure that many have asked themselves the same question and let me assure you that there is an easy answer! God was totally involved in our world in the days of Adam and Eve. He (One of the divine Godhead that became Jesus) personally walked with them, talked with them and instructed them how to live in a godly lifestyle and have life forever. God had every intention to be involved in our lives from the start, just as any human parent has those same plans with their children.
Then sin entered the world through Adam and Eve’s disobedience of God’s Laws. Remember there is only one biblical definition of sin. "Sin is the transgression of the law." (1 John 3:4) Without the law, one cannot sin! (Romans 3:20 and Romans 7:7) When Adam and Eve broke God’s laws, they sinned. The Bible also gives us another term: "The wages (or penalty) of sin is death." ( Rom 6:23) Therefore breaking the laws of God, brings death! Therefore, Adam’s sin brought death to mankind.
The Plain Truth has informed its readers for years that the United States of America, England, Denmark and many of the Northern European nations are remnants from the "lost" ten tribes of Israel. Here is a list of some of our articles on the subject:
Radio and television host Glenn Beck is now going public with his
belief the United States is among the famous “Lost 10 Tribes of Israel,”
and America today is suffering calamaties just as ancient Israel did
due to its disobedience to the laws of God.
Echoing the conclusions of some experts who have delved deeply into what’s known as the theory of “Anglo-Israelism” or “British-Israelism,”
Beck took viewers of his TV show into a biblical history lesson dating
back to the time after King David of the Old Testament, when the once
united kingdom of Israel became divided.
The personal secretary for former Pope Benedict XVI now says a recent
news report that the pontiff had a “mystical experience” in which God
instructed him to resign is simply nonsense.
“There is nothing true in that story,” Archbishop Georg Gaenswein told the Italian TV channel Canale 5.
He said the original report by the Catholic news agency Zenit was “made up from alpha to omega.”
Archbishop Georg Gaenswein interviewed by Italy's Canale 5 television.
The Zenit report Aug. 19 claiming Benedict had a “mystical experience,” with God personally instructing him to step down.
“God told me to do it,” the 86-year-old ex-pontiff reportedly told a
friend, according to Zenit, breaking his silence for the first time
since becoming the first pope to leave office in 600 years.
The report claimed Benedict indicated God had implanted in his heart
the “absolute desire” to resign and to devote himself to a life of
prayer and reflection, though he admitted he didn’t personally see the
Creator of the universe.
“It was not because of any type of apparition or phenomenon of that
sort,” he reportedly said, but a months-long “mystical experience”
during what he called “a direct rapport with the Lord.”
The conversation with the unnamed confidante was said to have taken
place in the Mater Ecclesiae, the former convent inside Vatican walls
which has been converted into a retirement home featuring views across
Rome to the Apennine mountains.
In the last six months, Benedict, the former Cardinal Joseph
Ratzinger of Germany, has received few visitors at his secluded house.
“During these meetings, the ex-pontiff does not comment, does not
reveal secrets, does not make statements that could be understood as
‘the words of the other pope,’ but is as reserved as he has always
been,” Zenit said.

potential of nanoparticles by accident, but they seem to have perfected
it. (The Trustees of the British Museum / Art Resource, NY)
The colorful secret of a 1,600-year-old Roman chalice at the
British Museum is the key to a supersensitive new technology that might
help diagnose human disease or pinpoint biohazards at security
checkpoints.
The glass chalice, known as the Lycurgus Cup because it bears a scene
involving King Lycurgus of Thrace, appears jade green when lit from the
front but blood-red when lit from behind—a property that puzzled
scientists for decades after the museum acquired the cup in the 1950s.
The mystery wasn’t solved until 1990, when researchers in England
scrutinized broken fragments under a microscope and discovered that the
Roman artisans were nanotechnology pioneers: They’d impregnated the
glass with particles of silver and gold, ground down until they were as
small as 50 nanometers in diameter, less than one-thousandth the size of
a grain of table salt. The exact mixture of the precious metals
suggests the Romans knew what they were doing—“an amazing feat,” says
one of the researchers, archaeologist Ian Freestone of University
College London.
The ancient nanotech works something like this: When hit with light,
electrons belonging to the metal flecks vibrate in ways that alter the
color depending on the observer’s position. Gang Logan Liu, an engineer
at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who has long focused
on using nanotechnology to diagnose disease, and his colleagues realized
that this effect offered untapped potential. “The Romans knew how to
make and use nanoparticles for beautiful art,” Liu says. “We wanted to
see if this could have scientific applications.”
According to reports, all personal information stored on major cloud computing services can be spied on by US agencies without users’ knowledge or even a search warrant.
This is all reportedly being done under the recently reauthorized Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and has led British Members of Parliament to call on the British government to not only end the use of cloud computing but also stop sharing intelligence services with the U.S, according to the Independent.
As New Zealand’s IOL points out, under FISA “all documents uploaded on to cloud systems based in the US or falling under Washington’s jurisdiction can be accessed and analyzed without a warrant by American security agencies.”
Apparently, US agencies have been able to access private data stored on the cloud since 2008 while no one had any clue it was going on.
This should come as no surprise for those who understand just exactly what the Catholic Church represents.
It’s a matter so dark and serious it has only been whispered about
behind closed doors in Vatican circles by courageous priests such as the
late John F. O’Connor, Alfred Kunz and the late Malachi Martin.
But now, thanks to the release by the Holy See of an official
bulletin titled “Acta Apostolicae Sedis,” it has been confirmed that the
papal conclave that elected Pope Francis March 13 heard a message,
immediately before the voting, from a senior cardinal dealing directly
with the threat of “The Smoke of Satan” descending on the Vatican
itself.
The meditation about “that which Christ wants from his Church” was
delivered by Maltese Prosper Grech, an 87-year-old Augustinian who could
not participate in the vote. After his meditation, reports the Catholic online newsletter Chiesa, he left the Sistine Chapel.
He prefaced his remarks by saying: “I have no intention of making the
identikit of the new pope, and much less of presenting a plan of action
for the future pontiff. This very delicate task belongs to the Holy
Spirit, who in recent decades has gifted us with a series of excellent
holy pontiffs. My intention is that of drawing from Scripture some
reflections to help us understand what Christ wants from his Church.” Read the rest and watch the video on WND HERE
Most people know Sean Hyman from his regular appearances on Fox
Business, CNBC, and Bloomberg Television, but what they don’t know is
that Sean is a former pastor, and that his secret to investing is woven
within the Bible.
Perhaps that can explain why, despite his uncanny ability to predict
precise moves in the stock market, Sean is often laughed at for his
unique stance on investing.
For example . . . a few months ago Sean appeared on Bloomberg
Television. At that time, Best Buy (BBY) was dropping to all-time lows
of $16 a share. Sean predicted the stock could go down to $11 a share,
and would then quickly rebound to $25 per share, and after that would
rally to $40 per share over the next year.
Another commentator on the show actually mocked Sean for his stance,
saying “$40 on Best Buy? If that’s the case Apple (AAPL) is going to
$1,500. That’s the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard!” (Editor’s
Note: At the time, Apple was trading at $650 per share).
Within a few weeks, Sean would receive the last laugh.
Best Buy dropped down to $11.20 a share and has since rebounded to $30 a
share, continuing its path to $40 . . . exactly as Sean predicted.
(Ironically, Apple has dropped down to about $400 per share).
During a recent private dinner with Sean, once he’d blessed the food, I
wasted no time asking him what his secret is for investing so
successfully.
I expected Sean to say that it was his years of experience at Charles
Schwab or perhaps one of the complicated algorithms he uses for timing
the stock market.
So when Sean responded that his secret to investing was the Bible, I was thoroughly shocked.
Yes, I knew Sean was a Christian (anyone who spends more than 1 minute
with him will pick that up!). However, people usually keep their faith
separate from things like . . . investing.
But not Sean.
For Sean, the Bible is his FOUNDATION for investing.
He explained to me how there is actually a “Biblical Money Code” woven into Scripture.
Sean says it is this Biblical Money Code that took him from making a mere $15,000 a year to now giving away up to $50,000 a year. Sean also credits this code with helping him turn his father’s $40,000 retirement account into $396,000.
Certain investment titans, Sean says, such as Warren Buffett and John Templeton, have already used this code to amass billions.
What Sean had to say impressed me so much that I asked him to put a
presentation together that reveals how anyone could use this “Biblical
Money Code.” (Click here to watch it now)
I’ve personally watched this presentation several times and it is already spreading virally.
During the video, Sean uses the teachings of King Solomon, Jesus of
Nazareth, and the Apostle Paul to show how anyone can get out of debt . .
. make sound investments . . . and morally build substantial wealth.
Sean even reveals a “debilitating ‘financial sin’ that blinds many .
. . and could be costing you up to 41% of your life savings at this
very moment.” What’s so deceiving about this sin is how innocent and safe it appears at first.
And at the end, he finishes up with his “12-12-12 plan for investing.”
This is a simple step-by-step plan to go from being a saver, to an
investor, to a philanthropist.
TheBlaze’s national security adviser
Buck Sexton appeared on TheBlaze TV Monday to discuss what he described
as a “very specific version of Islamic jurisprudence” that partially
explains the recent wave of attacks on Christians in Egypt.
“It’s a concept called the dhimmi. The
dhimmi is an agreement, it actually means ‘protection,’ and the those
who are dhimmis are the protected. But they’re protected in sort of the
sense of mafia protection money, meaning that they’re a secondary class
of citizen, and this stretches back to the very beginning of the Islamic
conquest from the life of the prophet Muhammad all the way up through
the Ottoman Empire,” Sexton said. “If you were a non-Muslim you fell
under this separate legal category, where you were essentially treated
like livestock. They would keep you alive, but you had no real rights.
If they wanted to kill you, they could. If they wanted to rape your
women, put you in slavery, take your property, they could.”
Sexton proceeded to point out that the
Coptic community in Egypt is one of the oldest Christian communities in
the world, and many of the areas we know think of as firmly “Islamic,”
like Istanbul (Constantinople) were actually Christian long before the
Islamic conquest.

So what happened?
“They were put under the status of
dhimmitude, which essentially over time, either forced them to accept
Islam or live in this legal area where they could be killed [or
enslaved],” Sexton said.
And unlike under Roman law, religious
minorities were also disarmed to ensure they could not defend
themselves, Sexton said. They also had to pay a “jizya,” which Beck
described as an “I’m not a Muslim” tax. MORE>>>>>>
It is important to note that the Muslim faith is the force behind the Biblical prediction of the formation of a King of the South, as told by Daniel in his Book of the Bible. This King of the South will be a Muslim leader who creates a vast Muslim Empire that will encompass most of Africa and the Middle East. His power will be short lived, as a King of the North will appear in a United States of Europe and defeat him. The King of the North, is the Beast of Revelation, who will deceive the world and make war with Christ!. Read these links for more:
First published two years ago!!!!! The Plain Truth accurately predicted today's problems in Egypt because we understand who is who in Bible Prophecy!
By: Bob Barney
I find it amazing how our media, president, and elected officials deem that the leader of Egypt must step down from authority because some 100,000 people (yes that's the real figure) marched in the streets demanding this. I also noted an interview on CNN with a spokesman for the demonstrators claiming that a million would have shown up to march "the Egypt hadn't closed the airport." That was a direct quote. The obvious next question should have been, "just who is marching?" This Doesn't sound like Egyptians to me, people living in such a small country don't need to fly into its airport! A quick camel trip would do. Instead I smell the same ole demon at the helm of this latest national toppling effort. George Soros, who boasted that he overthrew Greece a few years back is definitely behind this movement, as anyone watching the professionally printed posters on TV could tell. Real demonstrations, like that of the tea party, display HOMEMADE signs, planned leftist gatherings always have pre-printed ones.
The obvious question should be that since the tea party drew millions, with probably tens of millions in the countryside, when can we expect Obama to step down? I think a much higher percentage of Americans are against Obama, than Egyptians, who marched in Cairo! So I ask that world leaders everywhere, along with CNN, FOX and MSNBC demand "change" in America and demand Obama to step down immediately and not wait for the 2012 elections. After all, what is right is right. The irony of all of this is that this will not happen---UNLESS, of course the marchers in America where leftist and Muslims demanding a president to step down. Then the world and at least CNN and MSNBC would agree with the crowds and call for a new president- after all aren't they the ones that finally dethroned Nixon? I remember leftist hippies marching back in those days, and being taken seriously, but I don't remember Americans demanding Nixon resign, or that he was charged with any crime- yet this same media we have today, toppled a president elected by a landslide! And you think you live in a real world filled with honest leaders.
Just my short view of The Plain Truth of the farce that is going on in Egypt in which you are being told is a democratic movement underway! It is not! This Muslim Brotherhood overthrow of Egypt will lead to bloodshed and the massive slaughter of Christians and mainstream Egyptians alike. Obama's pro Muslim brotherhood agenda will lead to thousands of deaths, and most probably fulfill the Bible prediction that Egypt will not escape the clutches of the yet to rise King of the South. The Bible is fulfilling prohecies right now - in your sight!
Forward by Bob Barney-ThePlainTruth.com - As an owner of a small paint manufacturer, I know better than most the struggles that small businesses are experiencing today, especially in this age of liberalism and pandering to big business at the expense of the family farm and the small family business. We as Americans need to see what big business is - IT IS EVIL, not less evil than BIG GOVERNMENT! In fact the two cannot survive with each other!
Historically, small businesses have been the primary engine of new job
creation in the United States. If the economy was getting healthy, we
would expect to see the number of jobs at new businesses rise. Instead,
we are witnessing just the opposite.
We are told that the economy is supposed to be "recovering", but the
number of "startup jobs" at new businesses has fallen for five years in a
row. According to an analysis of U.S. Department of Labor data
performed by economist Tim Kane,
there were almost 12 startup jobs per 1000 Americans back in the year
2006. By 2011, that figure had fallen to less than 8 startup jobs per
1000 Americans.
Pope Francis Portrait Painting (Photo credit: faithmouse)
"Pope Francis rocked some religious and atheist minds
today when he declared that everyone was redeemed through Jesus,
including atheists ...
the Pope's words may spark memories of the deep divisions
from the Protestant reformation over the belief in redemption through
grace versus
redemption through works."
This pope is revealing that the age old false doctrines
of the Roman Catholic Church still exist today. So let's get this right.
You can be an
atheist who rejects Jesus Christ, and yet still be saved
by your good works. This is a clear contradiction to Bible truth.
Ephesians 2:8-9 ...'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works,
lest any man should boast.'
John 14:6 ...'Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me.'
We are NOT saved by our own works, and we are certainly
NOT saved by the Roman Catholic Church. We are saved by Jesus Christ
alone!
20081219 avail jobs (4 of 16) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Note: Yes, you read that correctly, when you see all the hype of 186,000 people got jobs last month, on average 77% of that number - where part-time hirees. Only Obama could get away with the scam of scam. Real unemployment is about 25%!
While many economists have described the employment picture as gradually
improving in recent months, by one measure it's not improving at all.
In July, only 92,000 of the 266,000 jobs created were full-time — just 35 percent of the total.
You may wonder why the total number of jobs created isn't 162,000, the
number commonly used by news services. That number is calculated from
the Labor Department's establishment survey of employers. The 266,000 is
calculated from the department's household survey.
For the year through July, only 222,000 jobs created were
full-time — representing just 23 percent of the total of 953,000,
according to Zero Hedge.
Are
we living in the last days? Are we in the end times? Is the return of
Jesus Christ right around the corner? These are the questions that
many of us ask ourselves whenever we read the book of Revelation or
the Gospel of Matthew concerning the return of Jesus Christ and his
kingdom of God that he is bringing with him.
First of all there is a
misnomer, with the term “end times” that most people have. Jesus
was never talking about the end of the world and John in his book of
Revelation wasn’t either. While both men were talking about is best
described with the phrase “the end of the age” of mankind.
When God created man, Adam and Eve to be exact, a new age upon this earth
began. It was the age of mankind and it began approximately 5 to 6000
years ago, as best we can tell. Adam was set up to rule this earth
during this age, but because of Adam’s sin he lost his right as
ruler of this age–the age of mankind. Many are not aware that the
Bible plainly states that the Earth is much older than man. In fact,
those who believe the earth to be billions of years old are not
necessarily in conflict with the Bible at all! It is very possible
that the earth is very old. In Genesis correct translation of God
creating the heavens and the earth is that God re-created the earth
after a cataclysm that is not mentioned. This former earth was under
the rulership of the great archangel Lucifer, the angel who rebelled
against God and became Satan. If Adam had not sinned, he would have
been the ruler of this age. But Adam did sin and was not able to
replace Satan is the ruler of this age.
The
Gospel of Jesus Christ, one that is rarely ever presented in churches
today, is that Jesus as God is coming back to replace Satan as the
ruler of this earth and usher in a new age. When Christ returns, he
is bringing the kingdom of God with him, a government that will have
no end, and the age of man will come to an end. That is the gospel
that just is not preached today. Jesus was not merely talking about
salvation, he definitely wasn’t talking about how to get to heaven,
he was talking about bringing God’s government to earth, complete
with God’s laws and love.
A small fragment of ancient pottery
found in modern Israel has shed light on its Biblical inhabitants and
could prove that the reigns of King Solomon and King David actually
occurred.
The 10th century
BC 'Ophel Inscription' was unearthed last year, and scientists were
initially baffled by the bizarre language that was inscribed on the
remains of a jug.
But
leading expert Dr Douglas Petrovich believe the language is a primitive
form of Hebrew which suggests the ancient Israelites were accurately
recording history much earlier than previously thought.

When the inscription was
originally discovered in December 2012, experts immediately presumed it
was an example of Canaanite language. The Canaanites were a Biblical
people who lived in what is now modern Israel. But ancient Near Eastern history and biblical studies expert Dr Petrovich
has said that this is incorrect and that the mysterious language is in
fact the original and oldest form of Hebrew – placing the ancient
Israelites in Jerusalem far earlier that previously thought.
