New Year?

Does the year start on January 1? I think not. The true Biblical calendar is the Jewish calendar, and their first month of the year is Nisan. Nisan 1, 2009 was on March 26, 2009. The next new year will be Nisan 1, 2010, which will be on March 16, 2010. Check out this video for a concise summary of the Jewish calendar:

Should we celebrate New Year according to the Gregorian calendar, which is on January 1? I think we should celebrate and give thanks to our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ everyday. Enjoy the world’s New Year, as the day and night is a blessing from our Lord, and use it as an opportunity to share the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ! But remember, the New Year is a pagan celebration. See the video below for details:

Scripture alone!

Do you like fireworks? I took a video of fireworks in Metro-Manila, Philippines. It is quite a sight. It almost looks like a war is going on! Enjoy!

God bless, and Happy New Year (belated),

The Silent Voice of God

The world is going down the tube. Sin has become politically correct. People flock to religions which offer imaginary false gods, who will tolerate their sin, and deaden their conscience. No-one is immune, even me. There was a time when I would welcome all of this as a good thing, but I now have a problem. My spirit was brought to life by the living and true God, and the world now gives me a feeling of nausea, overlaid by a feeling of concern about inevitable doom of those not spiritually alive. Last rounds, ladies and gentlemen. it’s closing time.

All this time God screams at the world that it is fallen, and offers salvation in the death and resurrection of Jesus the Christ. The world is  not listening. Now many “acts of God” are needed to wake people up. How many floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, epidemics, famines, and wars must happen to make people see? Or maybe these things are just warnings to be recognized only by the elect of God?

What should I do? I share the Gospel but no-one believes it. Some say they believe it but it is obvious that they do not. Is it possible to be born again and have no desire to read the Bible, worship God, fellowship with the brothers and sisters in Christ?

There are two options to take. Stop caring about the result and just minister to the lost in obedience but without really knowing what will happen. The other is better but harder to find. I need to know what God is doing, and join in His work. I need to join Him in His work, and not improve on mine. I need to listen to the silent voice of God.

I am going on a retreat sometime in December, in Tagaytay, a tranquil place near Metro-Manila, Philippines, next to Taal volcano. I need to discern God’s will. That means being disconnected from the internet, TV, radio, books, entertainment, and even Study Bibles. Just God, the Bible, and me, for 5 days, alone. I really do not know what will happen. I am scared that nothing will happen. I am also scared that something might happen. Since this scary feeling can only come from Satan I am resolved to proceed with this plan. I leave it all to God. I really do not know what to do. I really am unable to commit the stupid mistake of recommending a solution to God. Please pray for me that I hear the silent voice of God, and obey what He says.

I took a walk in the woods with my son and his friend. I talk about my plans for a retreat and other random stuff. Here it is. Enjoy! Be strong in the Lord, who is coming soon! After all, it is written…

Was that the silent voice of God just then? I wish I knew for sure…

God bless,

George

Glory to God in the Highest

You may think that the world as we know it is falling apart, what with a looming recession and rumors of war in many parts of the world. It is important to remember that God is, and was always, and will be always, in control. History is unfolding according to His purpose, and God has informed us of what will happen in the Bible. So do not worry, and put your trust in God. If you have not done so already, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, read your Bible, and obey what it says.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  (John 3:16)

And now, here is some classical music. Lyrics written by God (Luke 2:14a), set to music by Vivaldi. Enjoy!

God bless,

US economy might crash in September 2008! (updated Oct 10, 2009)

I am giving a heads up to you all as I now have 3 independent sources from the blogosphere that warn of the crash of the US economy in Sep 2008. In 4Q2008 martial law is likely to be declared in the US as a response to food riots that will result from the hyperinflation of the US dollar. In Feb 2009 the solution will be rolled out: merger of Canada, USA and Mexico to form the North American Union, with a new currency, called the Amero to be launched.

My sources of information are in the following links:

www.leap2020.eu/GEAB-N-22-is-available!-Global-systemic-crisis-September-2008-Phase-of-collapse-of-US-real-economy_a1298.html

http://stienster.blogspot.com/2008/03/september-2008-planned-economic-crash.html

The second link is a blog post. The comment to this blog post was from another blog post which I can no longer find.  It might have been taken down. If you have other supporting information then please post a link in the comments.

If you have not done so already, hedge 5-10% of your net worth with gold bullion coin (not paper gold). There is a high probability that all world currencies will hyperinflate with the US dollar, since the US dollar is the world reserve currency. Have stores of food in a form that does not need refrigeration. Grow vegetables. If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour yet, then do so immediately, as extremely harsh economic conditions are predicted by the Bible as the second coming of Jesus Christ nears:

Rev 6:5-6 “When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come out!” Then I saw a black horse, and its rider had a balance scale in one hand. I heard what sounded like a voice from somewhere among the four living creatures. It said, “A quart of wheat will cost you a whole day’s wages! Three quarts of barley will cost you a day’s wages too. But don’t ruin the olive oil or the wine.” (Contemporary English Version)

John 3:16-18 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

Pass this warning on! The video below explains the Gospel of Jesus Christ:

God has been merciful to the USA and has postponed its fall. There are indications that the postponement is about to end. I attach the following video (addressed to believers but may be of interest to non-believers). I urge those of you who have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior to do so already. Time is running out.

Warning for the near-term. Be wary of the swine flu vaccine. The best protection against flu is Vitamin D obtained through moderate exposure to sunlight.

More warnings of economic collapse.

Note: this is an update as of Oct 7, 2009

Several countries have decided to make preparations to replace the US dollar as the trading currency for international trade in crude oil. When the President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, contemplated using the Euro as payment for oil Iraq was invaded by the United States. The countries making preparations include China, Russia, France, and the Gulf States. The video below provides a concise summary and provides links to mainstream news articles that disclosed this information.

Here is the interview with journalist Robert Fisk who broke the story in the Independent newspaper, a mainstream newspaper in the UK:

The four horsemen of the apocalypse seem to be approaching…

The Fall of the USA

The USA is the most powerful nation in the world, and it is about to fall. It is fighting too many wars, owes too much money to foreigners, outsourced most of its production, and is completely unaware of the impending danger. The primary symptom of the fall will be the hyperinflation of the US Dollar, due to the enormous amount of paper money that has been created to support decades of credit-based consumption.

Most people will blame the fall on economic mismanagement by politicians, terrorism, foreign governments, etc. They will be wrong. The USA will fall for the same reason all states fall: the will of God.

The government of the USA has chosen to remove God from public life. Instead of encouraging people to pray, they make it a crime to pray in any government facility. Instead of turning from their wicked ways, they have allowed their nation to forget the Ten Commandments. Christians need to urgently pray for the USA and for its leaders, that God have mercy on them. God can do anything He wants. It is written:

2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

People all over the world who have not yet accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour need to do so as soon as possible. We are in the End Times, and the window of opportunity to repent will eventually close. Repent while there is time.

John 3:16-18 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but He that believeth not is condemned already, because He hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

For those of you who are interested in the details of the decline and fall of the USA, I would encourage you to view my YouTube Channel at www.youtube.com/georgeamarcelo. I also have many videos there presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ, for those who have not heard it yet.

God bless,

War Stories 2007/12/31

I have been sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ on YouTube for a few months now, and I have some war stories to tell. Why war stories? We are at war, brothers and sisters in Christ: “For we wrestle, not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Eph. 6:12)”.

The Battle of the Urge

The most difficult thing was just starting. I wanted to do it. I knew I should do it. But I did not do it. I should have prayed. If I prayed less time would have been spent on this battle. Someone must have been praying for me though, as I had a sudden urge to make my first video on Oct 31, 2007. I bought a stickcam in the morning, wrote the script (this stops me from saying “ummms..” when I talk), and I then read it to the stickcam in the early afternoon. This is why the video is so bright. I tried everything to bring the light down but I live in a place with a lot of windows and the sun was shining that day. It can get really bright in the Philippines. I already told you I had this urge, right? So I posted the video on YouTube. It looks like I am recording it in heaven but of course that is not possible (Luke 16:19-31).

The video is titled “How to Prepare for Death”, and is posted at my YouTube Channel http://www.youtube.com/georgeamarcelo.

Artillery

Before going to battle you need to soften up the target with artillery. So pray, especially with others, for your evangelistic efforts. The initial results were wonderful. I got encouraging comments from Christians on YouTube, and brothers and sisters in Christ who know me. It is funny how relatives, who would not listen to me witness to them for 5 seconds, actually watched the video for the whole 2 minutes and 21 seconds! The video got 1-2 views an hour. I could not get many people to subscribe though. Just my pastor and daughter.

I soon posted more videos on YouTube of evangelistic activities organized by Pastor Abel Bernardo, who is an open air evangelist from Word of Life (Philippines).

Contact with Atheists

Atheists are really short tempered, so get used to it. For example, I told one that I am praying for him and he told me that he despises me for praying for him. I used to be an atheist so I can understand. I was not as rude as that only because I am shy. I am not an eloquent person so it is fortunate that Jesus Christ showed us that the Word is our sword. I usually reply “It is written…” followed by a Bible verse that makes my point. You can see some of these encounters at the comments section on the videos. It makes them go quiet eventually.

Two of these atheists have become friends, I think. One is a conspiracy theorist like me. He lives in Canada. I am sent him some videos that demonstrate the truth of biblical prophecy, especially prophecy of the End Times that foretell the creation of the One World Government and One World Religion. The other is a Filipina who lives in Canada. She agreed that she is going to hell and told me that she prefers it because she likes it hot… I guess she must be finding Canada very cold this winter. I am praying for her.

Please pray for the unsaved on YouTube.

No longer alone

While browsing through YouTube I saw a video that paid tribute to people who are sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ on YouTube! I did not know that there were so many of us! Take a look:

I was no longer alone! I subscribed to their channels on New Years Eve and some subscribed back. I got nearly 100 views on my YouTube Channel in 2 days! Praise the Lord! What an end to the year! I wonder what the Lord will bring me next year?
