2006 SPRING NEWSLETTER – February 22
Weather experts say the summer of 2005 was the warmest summer of recorded weather history. Our spring like weather
has caused my cherry tree to start budding in mid-February. Amazing. Could the weather patterns be changing right before
our eyes? In December of 2004, a Tsunami, that scientists say shook the earth on its axis, took over 120,000 souls. On
August 28, 2005, Hurricane Katrina killing thousands with damages estimated at 200 billion, proved to be the worst natural
disaster in our country. Are hurricanes and intense storms becoming the norm? Is God trying to get our attention?
Experts anticipate this coming summer will be a warm one. Schedule your summerizings or repairs to your pools or hot tubs early. We at the Pool Doctor stay busy all winter long and especially busy during the spring and summer. We continue to care for and provide quality service to many customers in CT and NY State.
For those of you who read my God inspired newsletters and encourage me to continue, Thank You. These letters stating my views may not always be politically correct. Please drop a note along with your contract, e-mail or call with your questions or comments. For those who only want the newsletter with no contracts because you no longer have your pool or hot tub, just let us know.
Being the imperfect vessel that I am, I find it interesting that God uses me. I must remain open and willing to continue to serve that part of Gods plan for my life. When you share your personal comments about how these newsletters have impacted your lives, it confirms the good that comes from them. You may be wondering about God’s will for your life. God has a plan and destiny for every one of us. You may be surprised if and when you discover yours. I was. When you are in His will and He is with you, watch how amazing things start to happen. I never ever thought for a second I would be doing what I am doing. If you find any of this interesting you may want to be part of my effort of informing people. That may be part of God’s purpose for your life. I am looking for people to share and help me organize and find a location to meet people and tell about Gods word and how it connects to current events. I believe the last 4 years of my life have revealed my passion. My passion is for a greater understanding of God, Israel, the Middle East, Islam Ideology including the study of the Qur’an, and how the words and action of Islamic religious leaders affect and connect to Bible prophecy. It amazes me how most of what is happening in the Middle East was predicted long ago. You are in a select group my friends.
For those of you doubt or do not know the Bible, continue reading and try to explain something to me. How can a book accurately predict 13 out of 16 prophetic events regarding Israel? The Bible written by 66 different authors spanning thousands of years from the time of Abraham until today has revealed future events many times without flaw or contradiction. The 1st prophetic event happened long ago with the Israelite slaves being set free from Egypt with much wealth (gold &silver). The 12th event happened in 1948 when Israel became a state essentially overnight. The 13th event was for the Jews to return to Israel after being scattered about in numerous Arab states for many years. In 1948, 900 thousand Jews lived in Arab states. As of 1984, most Jews returned to Israel except for about 29 thousand that remained. Today 22 years later I assume only a few Jews remain outside of their homeland. This prediction in the Bible of Jews returning back to Israel after being scattered for so many years shows me the accuracy of it. I would consider this a miracle only God could orchestrate. Wouldn’t you think a book that accurately predicts 13 out of 16 prophecies, many years in advance, might be something you want to pay attention to? Maybe as the remaining three events unfold before our very eyes, you too will become convinced, as I have, about the infallible written word of God in the Bible.
RUSSIAN LED ARAB WAR AGAINST ISRAEL
In the not so far future, the 14th event in Biblical prophecy according to Ezekiel chapters 38 & 39 will take place. A Russian led Arab war against the Jews in Israel is already in the beginning stages. Watch the news or read the newspapers and see why Israel, a country about 2 times larger than Rhode Island, is in the news every day. No other nation on earth is unique in that way. You may ask why? A long time ago, God chose Jerusalem that His name may be there. Look in 2 Chronicles 6:6; 7:16; 33:7. His name has to remain in Israel. Not the name of Allah but God.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the President of Iran, wants to wipe out Israel where God’s name is. With the help of Russian scientists, Iran is months away from having enriched uranium which is needed in producing weapons of mass destruction. The Islamic Ahmadinejad boldly states his goal is for the destruction of Israel and the great Satan (America). I, as well as you, should take personal offense to that. He states the nuclear power he wants to develop is for nuclear energy. I ask why a country that has unlimited oil resources needs more energy? The Islam religion is one of submission and is out to take over the world. Convert or die. That’s what their holy book says. Look it up online if you don’t believe me. They have waged Holy war (Jihad) against infidels (that’s anybody that doesn’t believe in Allah – that’s mostly you and me). We in America are so far removed, many think that this take over could never happen here. WAKE UP AMERICA! It started on September 11, 2001.
Let’s look at the loyalty of Islamic Americans for a moment. In June of 1991, Siraj Wahaj an alleged co-conspirator of the 1993 bombings of the twin towers and a recipient of the American Muslim community’s highest honor, had the privilege of delivering the daily prayer in the U.S. House of Representatives. He read from the Qur’an and appealed to the almighty to guide American leaders and ‘grant them righteousness and wisdom’. A year later, Wahaj was addressing a group of Muslims in New Jersey. He stated that if only Muslims were a little more politically clever, they could replace the United Stated Government with a caliphate (Islamic leadership body). Hello? He said, “Take my word. If the 8 million Americans Muslims were to unite, the country will come to us.” So for the record, we have an Islamic leader on record calling for the overthrow of the U.S. government. This is not loyalty folks. It is sedition.
Remember the riots in France? As France allowed the behavior of car burning, angry, rioting Muslims, these looters were chanting these very interesting words “This is Our Land”……. Wait a minute. I thought this was France’s land.
I admit there are probably some peace loving Muslims that don’t know their holy Qur’an just like there are many Christians that really don’t know their Bible. The Qur’an teaches in Surah 9:5 to Fight and slay the Pagans wherever you find them… Surah 5:33 says the punishment of those who wage war against Allah is: execution or crucifixion or cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides or exile them from the land. The God of the Bible says “Love your enemies”. This battle is about good verses evil.
Some of my dear friends, God bless them, don’t want to hear about any of this. It’s too scary for them. That’s ok. The bible calls someone like me “a watchman”. I warn people who would not normally learn about any of this information. It is my duty. John Quincy Adams said” the duty is ours, the results are Gods”.
Many more pages could be written about how all this relates to our world today. There just isn’t enough space here. For my future, I believe God has called me to be a “watchman” and to warn others. A few closing thoughts. I am not more holy than anybody else or a know it all. I stay informed about current day affairs. I am a student of Bible prophecy. I challenge you to check up on me and you too will learn the truth just as I have. We were born for such a time as this. God will reveal things to you if you ask Him.
Is there any good news in the midst of all of this? For those who live and walk in the Kingdom of God, every day can be a good day, regardless of circumstances in the world. No matter how much distress and turmoil around us in this physical world, the Kingdom of God is stable and cant’ be moved. The governments of this world are shaky and untrustworthy along with the global economy being unpredictable.
God’s government is firmly established from eternity past and will be in place for eternity future. Unlike the kingdoms of this world, God’s Kingdom is founded on eternal principles that will never fade or pass away. Man’s attempt to discover God through use of religion to find solutions for man’s problems isn’t working. This is why God did not send us a religion. He sent us His Kingdom through His son Jesus Christ. Christ didn’t come to start a religion. He mostly preached about the Kingdom. Most churches preach about most everything else but the Kingdom.
As I close this letter, strive to live life to the fullest every day because no person knows his future. Focus on family and give whatever amount of love you possess to others. There is no greater gift. God forgives and judges us as much as we forgive and judge others. My goal is to forgive much and judge much less. Remember: Schedule time well in advance to enjoy time spent around our pools and hot tubs with family and friends. Think about what is the most important part of your life?
“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken." (Luke 21:25-26)
God be with us all and God Bless,
