Shakings in the US Military

         The unique character of the United States today, is its unparalleled military base. That, and not the economy for instance, is what makes her the superpower.  We know the US must lose that status before a global dictator, the antichrist, can become fully manifest (see our article US versus UN, vol 6 No 2).  Hence developments in the US military are always relevant to end-times discussion.  Moreover, developments in the US military institution, the most visible of the strength of the US, might as well provide indications of things to come in the other, less visible sectors of that country.  We here present a few recent happenings,  and leave you to judge the implications.

         First is the news report that it would appear that the US military is now ready to embrace eastern religion.  See details at http://www.thebereancall.org/content/us-military-embrace-eastern-religion.  This is coming up  at a time that Bible-based Christianity is increasingly coming under attack in that country, particularly within the military.

      The in route that homosexuality has made in the US military since President Barack Obama repealed the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Acts is simply incredible and is better discussed elsewhere. 

But much more surprising is the recently released figure on the number of men (and probably women also)  who had survived the tough external battle of bullets, bayonets and various deprivations, only to now start quietly succumbing to the battle within - depression. In an extensive study conducted by the US government itself, it has been established that 22 military veterans (ex-service men) are killing themselves every day.  That amounts to one suicide every 65 minutes. That figure covers only data between 1999 and 2010, and is expected to be more today.

    Even among currently serving personnel, data from the US military showed that suicides hit a record in 2012 with more soldiers committing suicide than getting killed in battle.  The actual figure for the year was 349 active-duty suicides, almost one per day!   (See Military suicides hit record in 2012, outpace combat deaths)

      Meanwhile, while the US has begun the slow but steady moves to take guns from the American people, (see Firearms manufacturer ends sales to New York in wake of new gun law) a report by the respected Christian news site World Net Daily indicates that Federal non-military agencies in charge of domestic operations in the US are stocking up an incredible amount of ammunition. By comparing the total number of ammunition (2 billion rounds) recently acquired by the Department of Homeland Security with the 5.5 million rounds being fired per month at the peak of Iraq War, analysts claim that these agencies now have enough ammunition “to ...shoot every American five times” and also “engage in a prolonged, domestic war.”  (www.wnd.com/2013/02/feds-buying-enough-bullets-for-24-year-war/)

More countries harden their positions for or against homosexuality advocacy

As the advocates for homosexuality go all out threatening fire and brimstone for anyone daring to challenge their agenda, the inevitable polarization of society along that line is becoming more and more accentuated.  For instance, the warning by British Prime Minister, David Cameron, that dire consequences await Nigeria if the resolve of the entire nation to insist on a measure of societal sexual sanity is coded into law, has only infuriated the masses, making it now more difficult for the President to even consider overriding the National Assembly’s position on the matter – if at all, he ever had such a mind. Another country that is hardening its position on homosexuality advocacy is Russia, where the Parliament is considering a bill stipulating a fine of up to $16,000 for any acts that qualify as "homosexual propaganda".

          On the other hand the lower house of parliament in France, on February 12, approved a sweeping bill to legalize gay marriage and allow same-sex couples to adopt children, handing a major legislative victory to President Francois Hollande's Socialists on a divisive social issue. In Germany, Angela Mikell is using her considerable charisma to push gay marriage down the throat of a hesitant German public, reflecting the general trend in most of Europe

           So much for what new sexuality people will have us believe is really not a big deal.  All the spleen being split shows clearly that having society endorse homosexuality as a natural and profitable interaction, is a far more serious issue, than just exhibiting tolerance for some folks who, for one reason or the other, have chosen an unconventional lifestyle to live. Few will deny there are strong spiritual undercurrents in the entire business.

       Ordinary sexual sins (adultery, fornication, masturbation etc) bring people into the worst kind of bondages. In fact the Apostle Paul emphasized that the two individuals involved not only literarily but  also spiritually become one in the sexual process – even when it is understood that there were to be no further commitments, as in commercial sex. (1 Cor.6:15-16).  Who then can gauge the gravity of the situation, when demons start to copulate with humans?  According to the testimonies of many ex-gays, the urge to engage in unprofitable homosexual binges often came on them after some beings had literally stepped in into them.  As soon as their spiritual visitors stepped out, they are filled with sorrow, knowing they are  only pawns in a game they had no control on. (In other cases, it is drug use that precedes the sexual acts).  Clearly it is those alien beings – they not having their own bodies -who are just using the bodies of available victims to copulate with other human bodies.  In the documentary film False Anointing by Pawcreek (see CA! Vol 5 No 4), people who were clearly possessed by some spirit beings are seen unconsciously simulating sex at church altars, and even have orgasm, clearly, in the words of the commentator “as if being ravished from behind by some invisible beings.”  We are indeed back to the days of Noah, where fallen spirit beings are again lusting for the bodies of humans.

         In Nigeria, the anti-gay law which is about being sent to the President for his assent, prescribes 14 years jail term without

 option of fine for people involved in gay marriage, and 10 years imprisonment for those advocating it

 That is clear enough a message!
