How a Self-Hating Jew Builds A Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, Germany

On By Geri UngureanIn Self hating Jew builds Holocaust Memorial in Berlin9 Comments

Our son took a trip to Spain and then to Berlin, Germany recently. While he was in Berlin, he sent me various photos of landmarks.

Of all the places on this earth, Berlin, Germany would be LAST on my bucket list to visit.

Most of my readers know that I am a Jewish Christian.  I remember as a child, a history teacher showed us a video of the death camps. I sat, frozen in place, as footage of hundreds of emaciated bodies of my people had been haphazardly thrown one upon another.

To add insult to injury, there were some boys in the back of the classroom laughing and making jokes about Jews.  I finally had to leave the room.

I remember another time in school, I made a friend named Elsa. We were great friends in school. One day she asked if I could come over to her home the next day. We walked to her home and what happened next is forever engrained in my memory.

Elsa’s father came into the house and after he met me and found out my last name was Rosenberg;  Elsa told me that I had to leave the house.  There were no cell phones back then and I was quite lost.  It was winter, so the light of day was rapidly fading.  I remember praying in my mind for God to show me how to get home. And He did.  Even before I knew Yeshua as my Savior, He had His hand on me.

The Holocaust Memorial in Berlin

When my son sent the first photo of this structure, I thought that perhaps I wasn’t seeing it clearly.  I asked him to send another picture of it.  I then asked my son what he thought of the architecture of the memorial.  He said to me “Mom, at least they are owning up to their crimes.”

I want the reader to first see photos of this structure. There are no words I can find to describe how this makes me feel.  I can say that after seeing this yesterday, I actually felt physically sick the rest of the day.

After I post various pictures, I will post an interview that Spiegel International did with the builder of this so-called memorial – Peter Eisenman – an American self-hating Jew.

The above picture has been titled “The man in the red jacket.”  I cannot help but to see him as trampling my people all over again.

 

 

No names, no personalization – nothing which would show remorse for this atrocity.

A German photoshoot with top models in the Holocaust memorial. How incredibly unfeeling, inappropriate and VERY telling.

Here is the interview with Peter Eisenman from Spiegel International.  Many times I actually cringed as I read the words of this man:

From spiegel.de

“How Long Does One Feel Guilty?”

American architect Peter Eisenman’s new monument to the Holocaust will be officially opened on Tuesday in Berlin. SPIEGEL ONLINE spoke with him about German guilt, the meaning of monuments and why he doesn’t care if it is soon covered with graffiti.

SPIEGEL ONLINE:

Berlin has been watching the monument take shape for years. You’ve been working on it much longer, close to six years to be exact. Are you happy it’s over?

Eisenman:No. For sure not. It’s like saying you’re happy you’re going to die. I am not a finisher, I am a starter. And I am always thinking, what is the next project, we are working on, and those are the things that are exciting to me. Endings are like, I always say, like a women’s pregnancy. When she has a child, she is happy to have the child, but there is a thing called postpartum depression, that is that she is no longer carrying the baby. Is it exciting to see and having gotten it finished? Is there a sense of accomplishment? Is it more than I could have thought? Yes.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Are you satisfied with the finished product? Does it look like you wanted it to look?

Eisenman: What is interesting to me is how much I have learned in doing the project. Just yesterday, I watched people walk into it for the first time and it is amazing how these heads disappear — like going under water. Primo Levi talks about a similar idea in his book about Auschwitz. He writes that the prisoners were no longer alive but they weren’t dead either. Rather, they seemed to descend into a personal hell. I was suddenly reminded of that passage while watching these heads disappear into the monument. You don’t often see people disappear into something that appears to be flat. That was amazing, seeing them disappear.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: You hadn’t thought of that effect when you designed the monument?

Eisenman: No, I hadn’t. You pray and pray for such accidental results, because you really don’t know what the finished product will be like. For example I didn’t realize that the sound would be so muted inside. You don’t hear anything but the sound of your footsteps. Also, the ground. We didn’t want to use any materials that came out of the soil because the soil was for the Germans. “Blood and Soil” was the ideological moment that separated the Jews from the Germans. And here, the ground is very uneven and difficult. My wife yesterday got dizzy walking in the memorial because it slopes in several directions. It was really extraordinary.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Is there anything you don’t like about the finished product?

Eisenman: I think it is a little too aesthetic. It’s a little too good looking. It’s not that I wanted something bad looking, but I didn’t want it to seem designed. I wanted the ordinary, the banal. If you want to show a picture, just show it — don’t spend too much time arranging it. And unfortunately it looks a bit too arranged.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: A lot of people say it looks like a cemetery.

Eisenman: I can’t think about it. If one person says it looks like a graveyard and the next says it looks like a ruined city and then someone says it looks like it is from Mars — everybody needs to make it look like something they know. There was an aerial shot in the paper on Saturday — a beautiful photo. I have never seen a graveyard that looks like that. And when you walk in, it certainly doesn’t feel like one. But if people see it like that, you can’t stop them. It’s fine.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Is there a feeling or an emotion that you wanted to generate in the people who visit the monument?

Eisenman: I said all along that I wanted people to have a feeling of being in the present and an experience that they had never had before. And one that was different and slightly unsettling. The world is too full of information and here is a place without information. That is what I wanted.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: You were against the building of the Center of Information underneath the monument, weren’t you?

Eisenman: I was. But as an architect you win some and you lose some.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Who is the monument for? Is it for the Jews?

Eisenman: It’s for the German people. I don’t think it was ever intended to be for the Jews. It’s a wonderful expression of the German people to place something in the middle of their city that reminds them — could remind them — of the past.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: An expression of guilt, you mean?

Eisenman: No. For me it wasn’t about guilt. When looking at Germans, I have never felt a sense that they are guilty. I have encountered anti-Semitism in the United States as well. Clearly the anti-Semitism in Germany in the 1930s went overboard and it was clearly a terrible moment in history. But how long does one feel guilty? Can we get over that?

I always thought that this monument was about trying to get over this question of guilt. Whenever I come here, I arrive feeling like an American. But by the time I leave, I feel like a Jew. And why is that? Because Germans go out of their way — because I am a Jew — to make me feel good. And that makes me feel worse. I can’t deal with it. Stop making me feel good. If you are anti-Semitic, fine. If you don’t like me personally, fine. But deal with me as an individual, not as a Jew. I would hope that this memorial, in its absence of guilt-making, is part of the process of getting over that guilt. You cannot live with guilt. If Germany did, then the whole country would have to go to an analyst. I don’t know how else to say it.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: The monument is specifically devoted to remembering the Jews who died in the Holocaust. Do you think it’s right that the other groups victimized in the Holocaust are excluded from this monument?

Eisenman: Yes, I do. I changed my mind on that a few months ago. The more I read about World War II history, the more I realized that the worse the war went in Russia, the more Jews were killed by the Nazis. When the Nazis realized they couldn’t defeat the Bolshevists, they made sure they got the Jews. Now I think it’s fine that the project is just for the Jews.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: But now there is the danger that all other groups will want a monument and Berlin will turn into a city of memorials.

Eisenman: I don’t know about that. I’m certainly not going to do another one. I’m not into doing these monuments.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: You’re project was originally chosen in 1999 from among hundreds of proposals. What was the most difficult part of the six years that have elapsed since then?

Eisenman: The project was heavily politicized. And knowing how to deal with the political process was difficult for me. I am an American and I don’t fully understand the sensitivity or the sense of humor that operates in this country. Sometimes it has been difficult to know how to maneuver. There were a lot of problems and if you sit in a room with 20 politicians of different colors around a table, each one of them has to speak. That’s a beautiful thing, but also very tedious. In the end, there is no such thing as a pure client who gives you totally free reign. And the best clients in the world are the people who cause you to struggle.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Now that the monument is finished and open to the public, it probably won’t be long before the first swastika is sprayed onto the monument.

Eisenman: Would that be a bad thing? I was against the graffiti coating from the start. If a swastika is painted on it, it is a reflection of how people feel. And if it remains there, it is a reflection of how the German government feels about people painting swastikas on the monument. That is something I have no control over. When you turn a project over to clients, they do with it what they want — it’s theirs and they occupy your work. You can’t tell them what to do with it. If they want to knock the stones over tomorrow, honestly, that’s fine. People are going to picnic in the field. Children will play tag in the field. There will be fashion models modeling there and films will be shot there. I can easily imagine some spy shoot ’em ups ending in the field. What can I say? It’s not a sacred place.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Do you have a favorite monument?

Eisenman: Actually, I’m not that into monuments. Honestly, I don’t think much about them. I think more about sports. – source

Brethren, to me this mass impersonal graveyard depicts the Nazis view of the 6 million Jews perfectly.  Unfortunately, a “memorial” should display sadness and remorse for a horrific event. This interview and how this “memorial” was built is flippant and non-emotional.  Much like the Nazis.

Ironically, a self – hating Jew is responsible.  He had the audacity to say that he is more interested in sports than memorials.  Well, that is more than a bit evident in the architecture and Mr. Eisenman’s words in the interview.  PATHETIC.

In contrast, I wanted to show the reader a Holocaust Memorial in Bucharest. Hungary:

The reverence shown in this memorial is genuine and very compassionate.

Perhaps, in his hatred for his own people, Mr. Eisenman could not muster up any compassion because it was NOT within him.

Shalom b’Yeshua

MARANATHA!

 

A Charismatic New World Leader Appears From Nowhere and Takes Control of Greece: The Latest News is Intriguing to Say the Least

On By Geri UngureanIn Alexis Tsipras10 Comments

Some of my readers may remember that I was the feature writer for Nowtheendbegins.com for about a year.

I wrote an article for that website which went viral.  The article was about Alexis Tsipras of Greece; and perhaps we might take a hard look at him in light of the coming Antichrist.

I actually was inspired to write the piece because of Terry James of Raptureready.com.  He had written an article on this very topic in his “Nearing Midnight” column.   That peaked my interest and I began my research on Tsipras.

The article on NTEB went viral.  There were even youtube videos made in which the person read the entire article in the video.  Pastor JD Farag devoted an entire Prophecy Update on the article. He said if nothing else – it was very intriguing.

Never claimed that Tsipras was the AC

Terry James and I never claimed that Tsipras was the AC. We simply wrote about him coming onto the world stage, seemingly from no where – and many other things about him which would give pause to any student of Bible prophecy.

I have decided to place the original article into this piece.  After the article, I will be placing excerpts of recent news about Tsipras which does support our suspicions about him. I am NOT saying that he is AC!  We are not looking for Antichrist; we are looking for our Blessing Redeemer Jesus Christ!

Another thing which I find very strange is that the recent news about Tsipras has somehow been kept under the radar.  If there is significance to this, I have no idea what it may be.

Original Article on Alexis Tsipras

Article from 2015:   **the editor’s note is by Geoff Grider

A man has come on the international scene, and many who know the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior, are taking a hard look at him.

“And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.” Revelation 13:2 (KJV)

EDITOR’S NOTE: We are looking for Jesus Christ, and not the Antichrist. But when we discovered this new “mystery man” who from nowhere has taken rock-star control of Greece, is backed by George Soros, has formed alliance with Russia and is talking with Pope Francis about a peace treaty between Israel and the Palestinians. We thought you just might want to know about it.

His name is Alexis Tsipras, and it seems that he meets much of the criteria of the prophesied Antichrist. He was just elected as the Prime Minister of Greece. He is an atheist and a far left winger. His party in Greece is called SYRIZA. He has appeared out of nowhere in the last couple of years, almost magically. He has landed himself in a most precarious situation. Greece is broken. Is he the one to fix it, and also the EU which is struggling and groping at almost anything to revive Europe? All eyes are on this man.

On Sept 17, 2014 Mr. Tsipras met with Pope Francis at the Vatican. He was the first leader of a left-wing party that met the head of the Roman-Catholic church–ever. This is not surprising with this Pope, because he is rabidly ecumenical and very “Green”, always talking about global warming and people harming the earth. It has been said that Tsipras and the Pope get along famously, and are in one accord. No problem that one claims to be the head of the “faithful” on this earth, and the other, a staunch atheist. Could it be that there are unseen circumstances, not being divulged to the public? I would say, assuredly so.

Alexis Tsipras has personally asked Pope Francis, in a meeting at the Vatican, to create a peace treaty between Israel and the Palestinians. Click image for quote from Tsipras official website.

Terry James of Rapture Ready wrote a piece on the possibility of this man being the Antichrist, but he made strong point at the beginning of the piece, telling Christians that we should be looking for the glorious appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ to Rapture His church from this earth.

Here are two excerpts from Terry James article on “Nearing Midnight”

Antichrist Archetype Emerges

“…There has surfaced, in my view at least, an archetype of the leader to come who will be the first beast of Revelation 13. This generation is not yet in the Tribulation, but is experiencing precursors to that last seven years that makes us know that a time of unprecedented troubles is just ahead. Likewise, a leader has arisen from the area of the reviving Roman Empire, one whose emergence makes the observant Bible prophecy student suspect ever more assuredly that Antichrist is waiting in the shadows of the immediate future.

Any such leader rising suddenly and dramatically out of the very nucleus of what was ancient Rome justifiably raises the eyebrows of Bible prophecy students. The visible, physical reactions of those who have put him on his pedestal are quite interesting…glassy eyes filled with tears of joy, as they looked worshipfully at the man on whom they are hanging their hopes. As a matter of fact, the slogan for his campaign was “Hope is coming!” — Terry James, RaptureReady.com

“I think we are looking at an archetype of the man whose name will add up to six hundred, three score and six.”—Terry”  – source

Here is part of a blogpost from christianpost.com:

“One interesting candidate that is clearly different from most of the others is Greek politician Alexis Tsipras He is the nominee for the Party of the European left; he also is the youngest of all the candidates at 39 years of age. He is a total atheist whose political roots are in socialism and communism. He remains un-married, but has cohabitated with his high school girlfriend for twenty years and they have one child.

Not only is he a wildly popular figure in Greece, but was elected unanimously to the SYRIZA a conglomerate of 13 far left radical groups. He has an Obama-like quality of being believed without a long established history of significant accomplishments or well accepted political plans or skills.”  source

Alexis Tsipras sworn into office takes Civil Oath

“Alexis Tsipras, who was sworn in earlier this week as the new Prime Minister of Greece, has become his country’s first openly atheist leader. A survey noted that atheist leaders in Europe are becoming more prominent, with France and Croatia also being led by non-religious figures.

Tsipras was sworn in on Monday after his Syriza party won the elections in Greece, but he chose not to take a religious oath at the ceremony. Reuters noted that Tsipras, whose left-wing party has opposed austerity measures, broke from tradition when he decided to take a civil, rather than a biblical oath.”   source

He is the first leader of Greece to refuse to take a religious oath on the Bible in the history of the country.

Tsipras has met with Pope Francis to discuss a peace treaty with Israel:

Tsipras said: “Even though we started from different points, ideological points, we believe we have common positions in the principles of solidarity, in the principles of justice, peace and cohesion.”

“We agreed on the need to continue the dialogue between the European left and the Christian church,” he said. “There is a need to create an ecumenical alliance against poverty, inequalities, against the logic that markets and profits are above people.” – Alexis Tsipras in meeting with Pope Francis

The Pope and the new Greek leader also discussed climate change. Pope Francis is open to everyone, well almost everyone. He embraces the Atheist, the Wiccan, really any beliefs are fine with him, as long as social justice is addressed and a common hatred of Capitalism is quite important.

Think of how the bible describes the character and nature of the Antichrist, while you read the following quote from Alexis Tsipras official website:

“We discussed the need for peace to return on earth, for the immediate cease of war interventions…asked him to take an international initiative for the termination of conflicts in the Middle East. Finally, we agreed that the dialogue between the Left and the Christian Church must go on. We may have different ideological starting points; however, we converge on common values, like solidarity, love for the fellow Human being, social justice, and our concern regarding world peace.” Alexis Tsipras in his meeting with Pope Francis

Alexis Tsipras as the Antichrist? Pope Francis as the False Prophet? It certainly is pretty interesting, wouldn’t you say?

George Soros backs Tsipras

“The Guardian featured an article today about George Soros and the opening of his “Solidarity Center” in Thessaloniki, Greece, the first of many he plans to open in order to help Greeks who were hit the worst by the economic crisis.”

Prophecy pastor JD Farag in Hawaii talking about this ground-breaking NTEB original story:

You see, it is a hobby of Mr. Soros to take his billions of dollars and play politics. He groomed Barack Obama for his entrance onto the world stage. He is part of the New World Order (Illuminati). He is probably one of the most evil people who ever walked the earth. Strong statement – I know. But how about Hitler? Of course, Hitler was incredibly evil. But did you know what George Soros did in Germany during the Holocaust? He was a teen and from a billionaire father. He was a Jew, but to save his own life, he turned in his fellow Jews to be loaded on the trains, heading for their deaths. He is unrepentant of these deeds – he says there is nothing to be sorry about.

Isn’t it interesting that the pre-elections took place in Thessaloniki (Thessalonica from the Bible) and now Mr. Soros has established his Solidarity Center in that same city? One thing I find fascinating is that in the Bible, the Antichrist was spoken of in much detail by the Apostle Paul in the book of 2 Thessalonians 2:

“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.”

There are no coincidences with our God.

“According to the article Aliki Mouriki, a sociologist of the Greek National Center for Social Research said: “Greece, to a great degree, has become a failed state. It is unable to provide basic facilities for its citizens because of budget cuts. In the absence of public welfare, and with around one and a half million officially unemployed, growing numbers are looking for substitutes elsewhere.”

Last year, George Soros had offered Greek institutions 1 million dollars to buy heating oil, after mayors in different Greek municipalities requested help. “It had got to the point where some of the schools had not a drop of oil left. This month we got 20,000 tons from Soros and it has really helped. The government has now promised an extra four million euros but we have yet to see it,” said the mayor of Naoussa in Northern Greece.

George Soros has donated money for heating oil to approximately 190 Greek institutions such as orphanages, schools, nurseries and homes of the elderly and is planning to open “Solidarity Centers” around Greece. The first one opened in Thessaloniki just a few days ago and is already filled with applications.

George Soros’ philanthropy has been the subject of a great controversy. Parents’ associations all over Greece are refusing donations because they are suspicious of his motives. Yiannis Boutaris, mayor of Thessaloniki responded saying “Why Soros gives money to Thessaloniki or other Greek regions, or even to NGOs to help vulnerable groups, should not be the center of attention. It is the fact that Greek tycoons, ship-owners and those from the diaspora don’t follow his example.”

Russia is looking to make an ally within its biggest enemy – Greece

The plot is beginning to thicken.

Greece’s defense minister was invited to Moscow to meet Sergei Shoygu, his Russian counterpart, in the near future. Greece is part of the 28 members of NATO. Russia has always regarded NATO is its biggest threat. Now, Russia appears to have a newfound interest in establishing a relationship with Greece’s defense minister. On Tuesday Kammenos met with both the US and Russian ambassadors to Greece.

The solidarity shown to #Greece by the peoples of Europe is the European “dream” in practice. It is the future of #Europe

— Alexis Tsipras (@tsipras_eu) February 10, 2015

“The discussion with the ambassador of Russia, Mr. Maslov, was also about the pending agreements between the Ministries of National Defence of Greece and Russia, the capabilities of a strategic cooperation, the organisation of the year of Greek-Russian friendship in 2016 which will take place in Greece and in Russia. I received an invitation by Russia’s Minister of Defence to visit Moscow within the next period of time,” Kammenos wrote on Greece’s Ministry of National Defense website.”  source

The new Greek government at times has been critical of both the EU and NATO. Tsipras has spoken of withdrawing from NATO.

“On Nato, Syriza describes its approach as a ‘multi-dimensional, pro-peace foreign policy for Greece, with no involvement in wars or military plans.’ It seeks ‘the re-foundation of Europe away from artificial divisions and Cold War alliances such as Nato.’ … Last year on Syriza MP called for Greece to leave Nato altogether, though the comments were rapidly played down by senior officials,” writes BBC.

“The new Greek government is cause for concern, especially because Tsipras has voiced his opposition to NATO membership in the past,” Ian Bremmer told Business Insider last week. “And his early actions — these comments regarding sanctions, as well as his meeting with the Russian ambassador to Greece without hours of taking office — demonstrates that he is willing to engage differently with Moscow.”

It Was Just Like Obama’s “First Election Night!”

Already there are comparisons between Tsipras and Obama. The adoring crowds. The rock star status. The people really don’t know much about their new PM. Sound familiar?

They know that Tsipras met his partner, and mother of his kids, in high school, when they both joined Student’s for Communism.

I have been digging into the Internet, attempting to find everything I can about Alexis Tsipras. What I am about to tell you will probably shock you as it did me. I want to stress that I have found this information on different Greek sites (translated of course) and it by no means proves that this is true. But if it is, then I do think that we “may” be looking at the Wicked (as the Bible calls him).

Here is what I have been reading:

“The father of Alexis Cipra, Pavlos Cipra, died in 2012. He was a billionaire with a direct link with the Mossad, he was the father of a slave BHL entrepreneur in Africa where he was trafficking in Africans. He sent dozens of Africans in Greece in order to exploit them, giving them just enough to survive in its construction companies and public travux. The family business “SKAPANEA” was responsible for all major public works in Greece since the junta until today, construction / restoration of Orthodox churches through broadcasting. Like the Italian Mafia, the other companies have to pay a percentage to the “family” if they want to survive.

Yes, you read that correctly. I have been finding people in Greece saying that Tsipras is actually “Cipra” and is of Jewish blood.

“Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.” Many End Times scholars have concluded that this passage of Scripture from Daniel 11:37 shows the Antichrist to be atheist, since he no longer regards the God of his fathers.

We as children of God, should be looking for the Blessed Hope of His appearing to catch us away from this wicked planet. But we should also be watchmen on the wall, discerning the times and events. In this way, we will be more informed to share our thoughts and Scripture with others.

And when I look at Tsipras/Cipra – I see someone who may just be the man of sin of which the Bible speaks.

We won’t be here, but this should give us pause, and make us realize that we need

to share the Gospel with everyone we know!!  source

Greek priests pledge ‘holy war’ as Alexis Tsipras agrees to split state and Church

The Greek prime minister has sealed a surprise agreement that will separate the state from the powerful Orthodox Church for the first time in centuries.

Alexis Tsipras, who is an atheist, reached agreement on Tuesday with Archbishop Ieronymos II, the head of the Greek Orthodox church, to redefine the state as “religiously neutral”. The constitution had long stipulated that the Greek Orthdox faith was the dominant religion in the country. source

Greek Bishop Says Atheist Tsipras Brought Fires, Wrath of God

A raging Greek cleric who had lashed out at gays, refugees and politicians now said that the deadly fires that killed at least 74 people, with dozens missing, was a consequence of Prime Minister and Radical Left SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras not believing in God.

“Atheist Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras draws the wrath of God,” Bishop Amvrosios of Kalavryta in the Peloponnese wrote on his blog. “The atheists of SYRIZA are the causes of the general disaster! Their atheis, draws the wrath of God!” he added. source

Wake-up call for the future of Europe by Alexis Tsipras in Paris

The Greek prime minister spoke about the danger of the future of Europe with a speech at the Paris Peace Forum. Alexis Tsipras, who was yesterday at the French capital to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, spoke about the causes of the 1918 ceasefire, which led 21 years later to an even bloodier period for Europe and the world.

He spoke of a “historical dejavu”, pointing out that today’s inequalities, the division of societies, the targeting of social groups, the loss of trust in the institutions, the lack of vision, lead to the extreme right and to nationalisms. “A Europe in which inequalities, the gap between the poor and the rich deepen, fences are raised to those fleeing, the technocrats take politics from the politicians, and which is indifferent to the new generations and the future of the new generation, is a Europe destined to fail”, he said before international leaders.

The message of Alexis Tsipras was clear: The response to the forces and ideologies that led Europe to two wars and hatred is a modern, progressive and powerful Europe. – source

Hard Left Greek PM Moves Towards Abolishing Christianity as State Religion

Alexis Tsipras has moved forward with plans to abolish Christianity as the state religion in Greece, announcing that 10,000 Orthodox Church employees will be taken off the public payroll.

Appearing at a joint televised address in Athens with the leader of the Greek Orthodox Church, Archbishop Ieronymos, the avowed atheist premier said that priests and bishops will remain on the state payroll but will no longer be civil servants.

The move will serve as the first step towards disestablishing the Church, after the hard left ruling Syriza party last week finalised its plans for constitutional reform which would strike all references to Jesus and the Church, and define Greece as a “religiously neutral” state. source

Brethren, it is quite apparent that this avowed atheist (with Jewish ancestry) is once again stepping up to support the European Union and Socialism.  Don’t forget that he and his partner (they have never married) met in an after school group for “Young Communists!”

I believe that we should keep our eyes open and perhaps focused on Alexis Tsipras – groomed by George Soros and the Illuminati.  He is becoming more and more vocal on geopolitical issues.  And he is pushing his atheism on his country, which has been forever rooted in their Greek Orthodox Church doctrines.

It seems that Mr. Tsipras sees this as nonsensical and will do as he wishes to ultimately render that church ineffective and inconsequential.

How Can I Be Saved?

The Mark of the Beast: Should Christians be Concerned About This Right Now?

On By Geri UngureanIn The Mark of the Beast6 Comments

I realized this past week that there are Christians who are convinced that the mark of the beast is here right now.

I am writing this article to assure you that although the technology for microchipping is here – that dreaded mark of the beast is certainly not!

I received an email from a reader of my articles.  This sister was almost frantic; thinking that she could somehow receive a microchip and this would put her at risk to be programmed to follow the Beast!

Let’s look at some Scripture regarding this:

 “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.  And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.  My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand” (John 10:27-29).   (Emphasis added).

The Lord wants His people to know how secure they are in Him. “NO ONE is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand”

“So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” (Revelation 13:4).

The child of God must see that taking the mark of the beast is an act of “worship.” They will worship not just the beast, but the dragon who gives the beast his power (Satan).

“And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.  Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.  It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.  All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:5-8).  (Emphasis added).

Now first we see that it was granted the beast to make war with the saints and to “overcome” them.  The beast will surely hunt down Tribulation saints and will kill them.  But remember this Scripture:

“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28).

Notice in Revelation 13 that “All” who dwell on the earth will worship the beast whose names have “NOT” been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.  

The sister who wrote to me was absolutely certain that getting a microchip implanted; even unknowingly, would put that Christian at risk of worshiping Antichrist.

I gave her a scenario to help her to see that she was being tormented by the evil one in her fears:

I said to her:

“Let’s say that I had to go into the hospital for more surgery on my spine. And let’s say that while under anesthesia, a microchip was implanted inside of me. Would that put me at risk of losing eternal life and no longer belonging to Jesus?”

The woman answered quickly and said “Absolutely!”

The more I tried to comfort this woman that the mark of the beast (first of all) is NOT here yet; and secondly that I am a child of God – blood bought and born again and I belong to the Lord – the more she would say that a microchip secretly placed inside of me would put me at risk of being programmed to follow Antichrist!

Brethren, I finally had to stop writing to her.  Each time she responded, her emails became more and more vitriolic.  She would type in all caps: “YOU ARE WRONG!” There was no convincing her. I turned to the Lord in prayer that He would help this woman to see the truth.

From thebereancall.org    (an excerpt)

“Well, I don’t think you need to be concerned about taking the mark of the beast right now, because the beast isn’t here. And when that mark is taken, it will signify a submission to him, worship of him, and it will be in conjunction with an image of the beast (that is the Antichrist) that he will put in the temple that he will allow to be rebuilt. In fact, he will cause it to be rebuilt, and the Jews will think he’s on their side. But in fact, he’s rebuilding it—having it rebuilt for his own promotion as “God.”  – source    (emphasis added)

Now I am not sure how many brothers and sisters in Christ believe as does this woman.  The more I thought about that, the more I realized that I should write an article on this to help others if they have the same fears.

Remember this:  Those who take the mark of the beast, take it willingly and worshipfully. Will the Tribulation saints not be able to buy or sell?  Yes – that is true.  Will the Tribulation saints be slaughtered by Antichrist? Sadly, yes they will.

They will be beheaded.

But after their deaths, they will see the King of Kings and Lord of Lords in heaven!

They will belong to Him for eternity.

How Can I Be Saved?
