The Uncompromising Truth

By Anthony Smith We have seen many people in the past and also today, that wanted the masses to believe that they knew when the world would come to and end. They were wrong and anyone that says that they know, is a lier and the truth is not in them. There are also many that say, not to be involved or concerned by prophecy, for we can’t stop the end anyway, so why bother learning? I am not here to say when the end will come, because I don’t know, the thing I want to express is the Uncompromising Truth about the signs of the end days. Mat 13:17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. Matthew tells us that not only the Gospel was a thing to be desired but also the fulfillment of prophecy and the continuance of future prophecy. We cannot ignore the happenings of the past 2,000 years, it would be a terrible mistake on our part. The whole truth is what we seek. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Israel today, is under attack by the Palestinians, Islamic Militants, Hezbollah, Hamas and the Lebanese, threats have been made by Iran, Egypt and Syria. Russia and China have expressed the concern that Israel is at fault for the trouble in the middle east and should be stopped. Every nation on this earth, with the exception of the United States, has condemned Israel for one reason or another. Dan 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. Why are all of these things happening? 1. Land. Land is the most important thing in the minds of Israels enemies. Israel is beginning to prosper, according to prophecy, Iran, Iraq, Russia, China and the other militant nations see an opportunity to gain wealth by the destruction of Israel, remember that the Soviet Union went broke in 1998, and China on the other hand is spending money like its going out of style, building a kingdom with no inhabitants. Here we see, in the end days, Israel will bloom again, desert to green fields, dry ground into a spring of clear water. The Jezreel Valley (east of the ‘hill of Megiddo/Armageddon’), is surrounding by Mt. Carmel and its Shephelah (Lowland) on the west, the hills of Samaria to the south, faulted mountains (including Mt. Gilboa) and valleys on the east and the ridges of Lower Galilee to the north. See map at; www.bibback.com/Land-RSM5.html. Isa 51:3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. Rev 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. A political, and military agreement between all Islamic and militant nations will take place, with the goal of destroying Israel once and for all. The main goal of all militants today is the securing of Jerusalem for Islam, killing all Jews and Christians alike, removing their influence on the City of David, and forcing the world to accept Islam as the one world religion. The anti-Christ will have other ideas. Rev 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. (Many say that this is the verse confirming the rapture.) Rev 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. The following information comes from BibArch. The oval-shaped valley, also known as the Plain of Esdraelon, is now commonly known as the Valley of Jezreel. Revelation states that it is Satan’s demons, through influencing key political and military leaders, who are responsible for inciting this concentration of forces (Revelation 16:13-16). Absent the intervention of God, in the clash between these two great protagonists, the destruction of all living things would occur, presumably, in a final nuclear holocaust and its aftermath Math.24:22. Western leaders concentrate their combined forces at Armageddon apparently planning to engage eastern forces by a land invasion. The immediate objective appears to be the taking of the rich petroleum fields to the east. The focal point of the battle is the Valley of Jehoshaphat (Joel 3:2, 3:12), also called the Valley of Decision (Joe 3:1-3. For, behold, in those days, and in that time(This is the time that God has preordained for this war to happen.), when I (God has declared that Israel and Jerusalem, shall be held captive again, all except those that escape Jerusalem thru the mountains per prophecy.) shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, (Judah is the Southern Kingdom which includes the City of Jerusalem.)I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat(The Kidron Valley.), and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.) (Joel 3:14) situated between the Old City of Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives, now known as the Kidron Valley after the brook Kidron passing through it. This valley is a deep ravine having very steep sides. Jehoshaphat means “Judgment of YHWH”. Here the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth, and his supernatural force will engage both eastern and western forces engaged in battle when he returns and stands, just east of the old city, on the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14:1-4). A description of the battle is given in Revelation 19:11-21. The West bank is north of Jerusalem, Judah and the Gaza Strip is south west of Judah. Jesus stated that;I am, the Way, The Truth and the Life. If we believe Jesus, then we must believe His words of Prophecy. Jesus foretold of many an action against Israel and also told Israel how and when to escape, the coming destruction in chapter 24 of Matthew. Mat 24:25 Behold, I have told you before. We all know that Jesus was Truth, we know that this times of great tribulation is almost certainly upon us. We are without excuse, in not knowing what is happening and about to happen. ars Temple of Spirit & Truth Ministries A.R.Smith Ministries http://www.ourchurch.com/member/a/arsmithsermons/ Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Anthony_Smith http://EzineArticles.com/?The-Uncompromising-Truth&id=246945 phentermine hcl no prescription phentermine pharmacy non prescription phentermine cheap phentermine mastercard

Forget E-mail, Get Them on your Messenger!

By Vittorio Norman Back in the day I used to try all sorts of email strategies to meet women online. I’d send them an email trying to get the ball rolling, only to find out that they usually didn’t respond. The problem with trying to start something over email is that you are all too often at a disadvantage. You have to say something “clever” or “witty” to get her interested, not look like you’re trying too hard, and at the same time stand out from all the other boring emails she gets. There is very little room for error here. When it comes to internet personals, the commonly accepted email “strategy” is to read her profile and based on that come up with an opener that shows you are interested in something about her, would like to know more, and segue from there. Unfortunately, this is very hit or miss, since many women write little about themselves anyway, and the ones that do write a lot often don’t give you a lot of material to work with, so you end up “grasping”. It tends to make you look try hard, which will work against you. Unlike real life where it is common social courtesy to stick out a boring conversation for the first minute or two, until things click, over email there is absolutely no incentive for her to put in any effort to get to know you if you start off with something boring like, “hey, how are you?…soo…what did you do this weekend?” This is a basic example of how normal conversation starts anyway. Stick it out until (hopefully) you find common ground, and then the rapport starts to flow. Regarding email openers, what does tend to work best is if the girl has a specific interest, like a travel destination, and you happened to be there on a past trip. Then you can make a comment on that and an email exchange is much more likely to succeed. But this is usually not the case. I have found that the best way to deal with the email “opener” is to avoid it altogether. Nowadays, I get them on my messenger. I personally use msn mostly. But other ones like yahoo or ICQ are also popular. For example, let’s say I send a wink or smile to a girl on the internet personals, to show I’m interested. She winks or smiles back, meaning she’s interested too. I then shoot her an email saying either, “hi, do you have msn?”, or “hi, feel free to add me to your msn, if you have it, xxx@hotmail.com”. Most times they do, or they suggest chatting on another messenger program, like yahoo, for example, which is fine too. And then when they log on it’s easy to start communicating. I like to start things off with a “hi, what are you up to?”, and it just goes from there. Then I usually get them on the phone, and set up a meet. Very easy. Now some internet personal sites don’t have the smile or wink feature, so in that case I will send out a bunch of messages, consisting of either “hi, do you have messenger?”, or “hi, feel free to add me to your msn, if you have it, xxx@hotmail.com”, like before. So out of 10 messages I send out, I get maybe 1 or 2 adding me. Now, some girls won’t have messenger, but that’s not a big deal if they don’t. They can choose to get it, since they are free to download, and it’s obvious they have access to an internet connection. I know at least one woman who downloaded msn just to be able to talk to me. I never try to get to know them over email. I invite them to chat with me on messenger, period. If they want to get to know me they are forced to talk to me on messenger. And once on there I can flirt, attract, run rapport etc, before setting up a meet. Now the way some women will respond to your initial message will be with either a, “ok, I added you. Talk soon”, or whatever. Or they’ll give you their messenger address and ask you to add them instead. Not a problem, I add them. Other women still, will say they don’t have messenger but will give you their email address instead and ask that you write them. I personally never do, since I can’t be bothered with it, so I normally just forget about them. And I personally find that many women that do this are uptight anyway, and hung up on small details like having the man chase them (go through hoops), even over the internet. This is one way to help weed out “rules” girls. But, in a few cases, it might be that she really doesn’t have messenger, but you can tell she’s interested (ie. she gives you a valid reason for it, like she only has internet access at work and messenger isn’t allowed). So in that case try suggesting a phone conversation, and offer your number, as a last resort. And if she declines or ignores you, then just move on. It is not your job to babysit a woman. She has to be adult enough to step up to the plate, just like you. Hopefully this clears up a lot of the mystery for some on how to write the “perfect” email. Don’t. Get them on messenger, is my advice. Copyright 2005 Vittorio Norman Vittorio Norman provides a step-by-step guide for meeting women online, in his latest ebook.

Back Linking Strategy - An Approach That Puts You In Control

By Gary Horsman Almost anyone doing marketing using websites knows the importance of gaining high quality back links into their website. However, almost all website owners have a difficult time building up high quality links. To use a suite of niche focused authority websites is a solution to this. Let me explain. It is typical for a website owner to follow one of these three approaches or a diluted combined version of all three. Ask other website owners that you now well to link to your site. This works in that you get the links but you end up with links from site that are not necessarily relevant to yours. The search engines love seeing links from relevant site to relevant site.Another approach is to purchase links from a so-called search engine optimization company. These companies often state that they will get you 100s or even 1000s of links for a set price. This approach is often a sham. Often these links will be set up on very inexpensive websites owned by the very company that will get you the links. There is often no content on these pages only many other links from other unsuspecting website owners wanting to get links. It is a bad approach.You work hard to identify relevant websites and then go through the process to write a nice e-mail to the owner and ask for link from the owner or webmaster. This approach is time consuming and you end up with a single link for all your effort and the link (if done well) will have a single keyword phrase text link linking back to your site. All of the above approaches are either ineffective or time consuming or both. There is a better way. Image you were the owner of a suite of websites all designed to market one of your products to a specific niche market. Each site would have relevant but not identical content. You control the links from one site to the other as you own the websites. You do not have to identify the owner of another site, write a nice e-mail and then follow up. You are the owner! You can set up multiple keyword-rich text links. These links would be from relevant page to relevant page. This is exactly what the search engines want to see (in fact they look for this) and linking with text links is a major part of the ranking system. If you control the websites then you control the content and the links. You are now aligning not only with the niche market but also your suite of sites will be aligning with the search engines. To use a suite of websites and to make them content rich so that they become an authority site for that niche is a very powerful and evolutionary approach that capitalizes on niche focused marketing and search engine alignment. It is a way to give position and ranking with the search engines and to attract targeted visitors to your website and keep them there with your niche-focused content. If you want to learn more about this approach which is called Circle Sites Marketing please visit any one of the Circle Sites. Gary Horsman has helped to develop the Circle Sites Marketing concept. This includes on-page SEO and back linking methods. He is also a keen believer in that the way of the Internet and the search function is to provide specific information and products to specific people. This is niche marketing and Google and Yahoo and the other major search engines are perfect examples of how specific individuals find specific information. Circle Sites Marketing is a way to align with what people do when they search and how a search engine wants to return search results. When you align with the major initiative good things can happen. Let Circle Sites make them happen for you.

Relationship Advice: 10 More Universal Laws for Couples Today

By Jeff Herring The Law of Listening Listening while you read the paper, watch television, or work on the computer is not listening. Listening with your eyes, attention, and heart is listening. The Law of Apologizing A genuine apology communicates that you care enough about the other person to admit when you are wrong and to try not to do it again. Apologizing is not giving in; it’s giving your heart. The Law of Appreciating Appreciation can be as simple as “I liked it today when….” or “thank you for….” Simple, yet powerful. The Law of Anticipating It’s a human need to have something to look forward to. When you look forward together, you draw closer as a couple. The Law of In-Laws Thank the in-laws when you can. In-laws may be very challenging but they also were responsible for creating the person with whom you fell in love. The Law of Compliments Saying something nice about your partner’s dress, shirt, and haircut are all nice things. You can go farther with: “I really like the way you handled that situation.” “I’m glad I am with you.” The Law of genuine Interest Show genuine interest in your partner. You show genuine interest when you demonstrate that you’ve been paying attention to the other person. The Law of Touch, Hold, Caress A potentially fun law. Everyone needs to be touched. That one small gesture can contribute to a great deal of healing in a relationship. The Law of Knowing the Dreams of Your Partner It’s even better still when you know someone’s dreams and contribute to having those dreams come true. The Law of Ask Questions Asking questions shows genuine interest in another person. It compliments and honors them.

Basics in Marketing WHAT are the FOUR Ps ?

By Stephen Pavis Marketing is defined in many terms. But the most accepted definition is marketing is the process by which a product or a service is introduced to the market that suits the consumers, needs and or wants. Marketing and Its Four P s There are four basic P s that comprises marketing that is known as the marketing mix. First is the product. It is very important in marketing as this is what is being sold or introduced to the market. Second is the price of the product. All products need to have a price. Pricing an object is not limited to the cost of the materials used to produce that product, but it should also take into consideration the time and effort the producer put into developing the product. Third is promotion of the product. For a product to be known in the market, it needs to be promoted. Promotion could be done in a lot of ways including advertising and personal selling. Publicity, which is also very important for product launching, can be obtained through proper advertising. In conjunction with the product, the company who created it is also advertised, making their brand (if they have one) known. Fourth is placement of the product. Every product has a target customer. Promotion of the product should also focus on this. It should think about whether the product is to be sold through wholesales or retails and in brick-and-mortar building or online. It should also take into consideration the geographical aspect of where the product is to be sold and to what segment; gender, generation, social class, and civil status of the target customers, suiting the product to their needs. Effective Marketing Method For an effective marketing method, you not only have to know the four P s but how to incorporate that in your business. To make this easier for you, there are a lot of marketing services that do just that. What they basically do is they get to know you and your company first and what your product is about. Then, they research about the market condition and give you advices about product trends and projections that can ultimately affect your business.

You’re Considering Plastic Surgery � But Do You Really Need to Go Under the Knife?

By Nathan Fischer With plenty of shows like Extreme Makeover, Nip/Tuck and the advent of the Discovery Health Channel, the idea of plastic surgery has been gaining a lot of ground. But just because you can get plastic surgery, it doesnt always mean that you should! As a matter of fact, a lot of the things that women want to repair with plastic surgery can be remedied without the costs or risks that surgery entails. When it comes down to it, how sure are you that plastic surgery is your best (or only) option? Youre just about to find out! Should You or Shouldnt You? Wondering if plastic surgery is the only way to fix your flaws? Honestly, it probably isnt. Youd be surprised at the number of different maladies which dont require plastic surgery to treat or correct. Instead, they can be treated with less invasive options like Botox, acidic peels, microdermabrasion or even over-the-counter remedies. Which ailments dont require surgery? Dark, under-eye circles Fine wrinkles under the eyes Smile lines around the eyes Dry or blotchy skin Discoloration or other pigmentation problems Those little lines at the corner of the mouth (they look a bit like parentheses) Vertical frown lines between your eyebrows Fine wrinkles on your cheeks The infamous double chin Or a slight fullness (or plumpness) along the jaw line. Conversely, the following conditions can only be remedied by a skilled plastic surgeon: Excessive eyelid skin Puffiness or deep under-eye circles Deep vertical frown lines between the eyebrows Jowls hanging over the jaw line Hanging skin and deep facial wrinkles Very lose neck skin Loss of cheek fullness A nasolabial fold (a deeper, more severe version of the nasolabial line) etched into the skin. Youll notice that we didnt list a few cosmetic surgeries you might have expected, like breast augmentation, nose jobs, and so on for a very simple reason the emotions and the importance of major surgeries like these is hard to measure on the Should You or Shouldnt You scale. If youre in the market for this type of surgery, dont worry. Your plastic surgeon will help you by going over the reasons, options and other tough-to-work-out issues before any surgery is performed. Regardless of whether or not you ultimately decide to have plastic surgery, its very important to pick up all of the facts. Any type of surgery, no matter how seemingly minor, comes with serious risks and discomforts. If youre still convinced that surgery is your only way to regain your full confidence, do your homework and find a well-trained, highly recommended surgeon to guide you through the process. About the Author Nathan Fischer writes for BeautyProductsUSA. Stop by for emerging anti-aging wrinkle creams, and fine products such as Claus Porto soap.

Aromatherapy Jewelry - The New Craze

By Linda Allison Aromatherapy uses essential oils to enhance mood and to encourage health and healing. These oils are made of concentrated plant oils with very strong scents. Lavender can be used for relaxation or sleeping more peacefully, while something like cinnamon can be used for motivation and energizing the brain. Most people doing aromatherapy burn candles or incense, or get massages with the oils. A less used method that is becoming increasingly popular is to actually wear aromatherapy jewelry. Aromatherapy jewelry comes in all types of jewelry from necklaces to rings to bracelets. Necklaces are the most common and usually come with a locket or pendant containing a small pad. All you need to do is put a drop of your favorite scent on the pad, put the locket on the necklace and voila! You have a nice piece of aromatherapy jewelry. There are also companies offering small vials that can be hung around your neck. The aromatherapy jewelry lockets themselves come in different shapes and sizes. The most popular shapes are Celtic designs like engravings of the sun, Celtic crosses, roses and various animals. Even the vials come in different designs, so you really are spoilt for choice! The cost of aromatherapy jewelry range significantly with vials the cheaper option and the price of lockets depending on the material used, the size and the design. You can expect to pay anywhere from $15 up to $130 for gold or platinum designs. Where To Find Aromatherapy Jewelry Because aromatherapy jewelry is not as popular as candles and body oils, it can be difficult to find stores that sell them. New Age stores or stores dedicated to aromatherapy products will be a good starting point. You might also be lucky and find some jewelry at flea markets. However, this is where shopping on the internet really comes into its own. There are several very good online stores selling these types of products. Just surf around and you are sure to find some. With the wide selection available, you are sure to find something you like. Another option is looking in auction sites. On eBay, for instance, you can have a look under the aromatherapy or jewelry and watches categories. You might have to play around with the search terms to find what you are looking for. Wearing aromatherapy jewelry is a fun and novel way to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy. An added bonus is that you can pick and choose the scent to whatever is appropriate. Want to know more about the benefits of aromatherapy? Then visit Aromatherapy Benefits and immerse yourself into the world of aromatherapy.

Create Your Own Christmas Stocking Patterns

By Jen S Carter You can buy a Christmas stocking pattern or trace a stocking you already have to create a handmade Christmas stocking. If you trace a stocking, leave an extra inch all around for the seams. Leave three inches at the top to turn under. Cut two of them out of fabric for each stocking. Making a Christmas Stocking Pattern To make a pattern, use heavy cardboard. Draw two rectangles. The first should be 15 long by 9 wide. These patterns include the seam allowances of 1 and top cuff of 3. This rectangle is A. Cut it out and label it. Draw the second rectangle 14 long by 6 wide. This is rectangle B. Cut it out and label it. Place B on a table with the long side horizontal to you and the short side vertical to you. Round off all the corners of B, except for Bs upper, left corner. Place A on the table with the long side vertical to you and the short side butted against B, on the top, left side of B. This forms the stocking, with the calf part on the left (A) and the foot and toes on the bottom (B). Tape A and B together and use it as a pattern to trace onto fabric. Making a Christmas Stocking Cut two stockings out of fabric, using your pattern. Put them together with the right sides on the inside. Sew around the stocking with a 1 seam, leaving the top open. Clip the curves with V shapes to allow the fabric to lie flat. Be careful not to cut through your seam. Turn the stocking right-side-out. Fold the top 3 to the inside and sew in place. You can sew a decorative cuff on the outside if you wish. Sew a strip of fabric to create a hanger and sew it to the stocking. Decorate as you wish.

Market Research Panels Are Increasingly Being Found Online

By Andrew Regan “Market research” is a term that is heard often in the modern world; but what does it actually mean? Essentially, market research is a form of business research which is conducted in order to discover new, or retrieve existing, information and knowledge for a specific purpose. Market research is broader in scope than other types of research, such as consumer research, as it asks questions about business competitors, market structure, government legislation, economic trends and various other factors that make up the particular business environment under scrutiny. Market research panels involve longitudinal, statistical studies in which groups of individuals are interviewed at intervals over a specific length of time in order to collect representative data. The developing technology of the internet has made it increasingly possible for companies to conduct market research panels online. This has in turn led to a growth in the number of online market research services being offered, and has thus generated a subsequent growth in the number of existing online market research panels. As a result, panel science has become increasingly specialised and has resulted in a number of quality control procedures being put in place by leading online panel experts. Panel quality is the key to modern methods of online panel research; many panel providers now create specialist panels in a variety of countries in order to allow clients quick and easy access to niche segments of specific markets. For instance, if a cosmetics business or company were planning a research project, they’d be able to find cosmetics specialist sub-panels which would make their research more accurate for specific markets. These specialist sub-panels are compiled by leading online market research firms by encouraging panel communities to update their profiles across certain key verticals. Specialist panels can be created to provide up-to-date market research on particular subjects which can be as wide ranging as fair-trade and green consumerism, through to the mobile phone market, video gaming and fashion. As well as providing specialist panels, many online panel research providers also offer their clients bespoke services; this means they can create the most appropriate panel to suit their customers’ needs. And as panel science advances, so too do the methods by which panels are built. Today, leading online panel experts recruit their panellists from numerous media outlets, including PR, pay per click advertising, banner advertising, emails and referrals.
