Call Me a Prophetess

I was cleaning out my e-files and found this document.  I wrote it the day after the Presidential Election in 2012.  Call me a prophetess.


My predictions for a second Obama term:

Israel will fight back against Iran and other radical Islamic nations and the entire world will turn on Israel.  Israel knows she must defend her existence alone.  The USA is no longer her ally.  I think she’s shown restraint up to now hoping for a Romney victory.  I only hope that when that happens, it will usher in Armageddon and Christ will come because I think that’s the only real hope for us now.

Obama will invoke executive privilege more often until Congress is emasculated so as to be non-existent.  The balance of power our founding fathers gave us will be gone. The Constitution won’t have a thread to hang by.  The country will be run by the unholy trinity: Obama, Pelosi, and Reid; and the even more unholy powers (and money) behind them.

Gas prices will skyrocket.  Taxes will go up.  Inflation will run rampant.

The national debt will continue to skyrocket with no budget and no concern for the future.  Taxes will go up.

Small businesses will continue to fail.  Unemployment will continue to grow.  Regulatory agencies will spin even more out of control.

More people will be on welfare, unemployment, and food stamps than ever before.

Islamic nations will continue to be appeased and terrorist attacks will increase.  There will be more violence in the streets of America as people become more afraid.

The conservative media will be driven underground and the only “truth” the American people will hear is the party line from the White House.  The heinous cover-up on Benghazi is just the beginning.

In my house, I will serve the Lord.  I will prepare my home as a place of refuge.  As Christians, we are going to have to band together for mutual support.  I will continue to pray for my country because I love her, but I believe God will withdraw His hand from America.  This people have chosen taking God’s name from the platform, public buildings, and the public meetings.  They have chosen abortion, gay marriage, legalized marijuana, and assisted suicide.  They have chosen to spend more than they make.  They have chosen to throw Israel under the bus and God said in the Old Testament that any nation that fights against Israel will be punished.  I think that the scripture is still true and God will not be mocked.

I hope my children love me enough to take care of me when I can no longer do so myself because under Obamacare, I will be disposable when I get old.  It will be cheaper for them to give me the suicide pill – which I will refuse to take.  So when they take away my pension and my Social Security and my Medicare because I am a drain on society, I am counting on you, Kids!

Here are my thoughts: Romney is a godly and prayerful man.  He would have been our best hope to pull us back from the brink.  An ancient civilization had the same experience we had last night.  They, too, were a government by the people.  As long as the people of that nation were faithful to God, they prospered.  But as soon as they turned their back on God, their government became corrupt.  Here’s how it was described at the time: Helaman 5: 2:

“For as their laws and their governments were established by the voice of the people, and they who those evil were more numerous than they who chose good, therefore they were ripening for destruction, for the laws had become corrupted.” 

People don’t realize that they were not voting for a man: they were voting for a set of professed values.  Romney’s values were reflected in his platform – God firmly in place as our country’s center; protect the sanctity of life from the womb forward; marriage between one man and one woman; fiscal responsibility; support Israel – just to name the key ones for me.  Then there is the democratic platform – take the name of God out of any reference (can’t even say God-given – yes, I know they put it back under protest, but the people on the convention floor booed when they did); support gay marriage; continued support for Roe vs. Wade (abortion); government dictating to religious institutions that they have to pay for birth control and abortion in their insurance plans, even though that is against their faith.  And the American people chose the Godless ideals last night.  I pray for this country and for Israel.  I think the road to Armageddon has been paved, for Israel will defend herself despite us.  Obama has already thrown her under the bus.  Oh, and by the way, the ancient people I mentioned?  When they chose evil over good, God withdrew His hand from their nation.  Eventually they were destroyed – wiped off the face of the earth as a people.  A cautionary tale for us all.

How about this one - Zechariah 14 (Old Testament KJV)

2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, . . .

12 ¶And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold everyone on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.

16 ¶And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts,

19 This shall be the punishment . . . of all nations that come not up . . .

I pray for the Savior to come and save us from ourselves.

Sunday, Sweet Sunday


There is a song from the musical Flower Drum Song  with this lyric:

Sunday, sweet Sunday, with nothing to do.
Lazy, and loving; my one day with you.

I don't have a special someone to have the one day with, but I am looking forward to a day of rest.  I have been working almost non-stop for weeks so that our new school, George Washington Academy, can open tomorrow.  I've always had faith that we would make despite the apprehension of others and the critique of naysayers.  In the end, everyone pulled together and went the extra mile and we are ready.

Tomorrow, I stand before my own fifth and sixth grade class for the first time since 1985.  All prayers appreciated!

Today,  I will rest.

Jayne Eyre

To say it's been awhile since I've posted would be the queen of understatements.  I have been so busy getting ready for my new school to open that I've rarely had one minute to myself.  Needless to say, today I won't be wordy.

I had insomnia last night, so at 3:00 A.M. I was on Facebook.  My sister posted one of those online tests that are fun to take.  This one was called "Which Gothic Character Are You?"  My sis had tested out Dracula, which I found interesting.  I decided to take the test just for fun.

My character was Jane Eyre.  It's been so many years since I've read Jane Eyre that I don't identify with her, but the test description of why I am like her was spot on:

Beneath your calm exterior a storm is building. You know it and secretly you're afraid of it but you won't allow that to distract you from doing what you believe to be the right thing. You are resourceful and intelligent, both of which leave you with a feeling of alienation from your peers.

Hmmmmmm.  Am I that transparent?
