Signs of Our Time

Here's a question I have asked and discussed with my Sensei from years ago. Will a break down of society bring about the need to defend oneself unto death?  Will our knowledge help or will we be targeted by the Government as dissidents?

The first question: Yes, the break down of society will cause lawlessness and at that time, perhaps a shortage of food, water, electricity could invoke "Martial Law" at which time the Government takes control of the streets. Soldiers would be relocated around the country because no soldier is going to fire on people they know and live with. So, soldiers from Florida go to Georgia, and Alabama comes to Florida, etc. At this point, a point of GOVERNMENT DISTRIBUTION, people will form into "Groups/Gangs" with those with strong fighting ability becoming dominate. The Government will squash these Gangs and the leader will "cause all to receive a mark in the right hand or forehead, so that only he who has the mark will be able to buy or sell." This is being planned currently as I write this. The target date is 2017! The government is already issuing millions of American a "Government Credit Card" it even has our flag on it. People who receive welfare have this card. It is automatically renewed every month through computers.....Theft, loss, and misuse will ultimately dictate a "Bio Chip" also known as the "Mondex Chip" (which adds up to 666 in Gematria) to be implanted in all welfare/gov subsidy recipients. More and more people will be on these rolls and will gladly accept this implant as a way of tracking their children and putting an end to child abduction. To consolidate their expenses and keep better track of what and where they spend their "credits"..... Theft will be eliminated as only the persons chip will work for them. The chipping of the world will seem to be a very good thing and most will gladly accept it. The bible says, "All who receive the mark in their right hand or forehead will burn in the Lake of Fire forever."
Those who don't accept the mark will be labeled as dissenters, terrorist, those who are against change, etc. Those  people who are perceived to be weak will become targets of those who would oppress you and take your resources to stay alive. To stay alive you will be forced to decide whether to kill or be killed. At that time, your training will be put to the ultimate test as you must fight to save your life.

Is the government of America getting more and more into our private lives? Already, as the census is being taken, there are laws saying if you don't comply you can be arrested and fined or imprisoned. Is this America? The Land of the FREE and the home of the BRAVE? Joseph and Mary were required to report to the birthplace of the Man's family for a census. This brought the fulfillment of prophesy concerning Jesus who was born in Bethlehem.  Why would any Government care about what is being taught in Martial Arts Schools? The answer is, they don't. Not about what is being taught in most Martial Arts Schools, because what is being taught is NOT Martial Arts. It is a watered down version of the ancient forms of self preservation. I believe there are Governments very interested in what is being taught in REAL martial arts classes. You know, where a person learns how to defend themselves even by inflicting death upon their assailants.  As we have seen in the past, when a government attempts to control its population, the first thing is to prevent them from being able to defend themselves. This will take the form of gun control first and then martial arts practice. Don't believe it. Immediately after WWII, MacArthur, as head of the pacific allied command, invoked the abolishment of Martial Arts practice in Japan. That was the 1940's, and for years Russia would only allow certain types of Martial Arts taught and that was the late 70's.

Already I am cautious about what I say in public about our Government, as no one really knows who is listening and who could find out about a "dissident" again this sounds like something someone in Russia would be concerned with not America.

The times we live in, with all the things going on so fast.....Jesus said it will be as the birth pains of a woman about to give birth (her pains come faster, closer together, and intensify) In 2010 earth has witnessed a major disaster each month;

January Haiti earthquake, over 250,000 died.

February Chile earthquake, this was one of the strongest in history

March Mexico-Us border earthquake, a major earthquake.

April Iceland volcano erupted under a huge glacier and melted it so fast that 1,200,000 gallons of fresh water are being added to the ocean/minute and Gulf of Mexico oil spill.,275,000 gallons of oil are spilling each day... forecast to continue for months...(8,250,000 gallons/month)...which is threatening our oceans globally (and the 2nd angel emptied his bowl into the sea and it become as the blood of a dead man, and everything in the sea died. Rev. 16:3) Humans and every other creature lives off the ocean.....oxygen is created in the ocean....

what is next? A total collapse of our society? Would you have enough food and water? Our own Government is now telling everyone in America to have enough food and water for 3 weeks, in case of national disaster or emergency...... Will you fight to save your life?  Is your technique going to work? I have often asked myself this when entering into a potentially lethal situation. And, sometimes to my amazement, it always has.....I think this is a product of good instruction, self-discipline in the ability of PRACTICING... there simply is NO SUBSTITUTE to  practice.... Matayoshi Nakayama gave very few interviews in his lifetime. In one such interview with "BLACKBELT MAGAZINE",  Nakayama Sensei said, "The Mastery of Karate lies in three things, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE."   I used to say, "Practice makes Perfect." and it does, if you practice a technique, it will become perfect. It you are performing it wrong, it will become perfectly wrong." So now agree with Tom Callos, "Proper Practice, Prevents, Poor, Performance."

The bible says there is a day coming when men's hearts will fail them because of the fearful sights they will see. Jesus said, "Do not let your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. IN my fathers house are many mansions, if it were not so I  would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you, and if i go and prepare a place for you I will come again to receive you, that where I am you might be also."

Jesus is coming! Look at the times, recognize what is happening around you. Believe in Jesus! Look forward to his soon coming! Have faith! The bible says, "All who call upon the name of Jesus will be saved." If you don't know Jesus, invite him into your heart> Just say Jesus come into my heart, save me. It is that simple! Then you will have eternal security! Then even if you lose, YOU WIN!
