This week, the VERY SAME WEEK as Yom Kippur…the holiest day of the year on God’s calendar, the week of Repentance and Atonement, three eerily similar events occurred that are disturbing, prophetic symbols:

#1)  A fire partially destroys the Shanksville, PA 9/11 Memorial.  However, most prophetically, it destroyed the FLAG that hung over the Capitol on 9/11:

Flag from 9/11 is Lost in Memorial Fire

#2)  At Australia’s ANZAC Memorial, a woman burned the Australian flag on the “eternal flame.”

#3)  In Canada, while singing the Canadian National Anthem, the skate-/singer tripped over the Ceremonial Carpet:

IS GOD TRYING TO GET OUR ATTENTION?…YES!

In history…President Lincoln came to a crossroads…read this section by Bill Federer of “American Minute”:

On September 22, 1862, as reported by Secretary of the Treasury, Salmon Portland Chase, President Lincoln told his Cabinet after the Battle at Antietam:

“The time for the annunciation of the emancipation policy can no longer be delayed.

Public sentiment will sustain it, many of my warmest friends and supporters demand it, and I have promised God that I will do it.”


To foreign powers, the Emancipation Proclamation changed the international perception of the War from the issue of States’ Rights to the ending of slavery.

As Britain and France did not want to be perceived as supporting slavery, they declined to recognize the Confederacy which was an additional blow to the South.


Three weeks after the Battle of Antietam, President Lincoln met on OCTOBER 6, 1862, with Eliza Gurney and three other Quaker leaders, saying: 


“We are indeed going through a great trial-a fiery trial. 

In the very responsible position in which I happen to be placed, being a humble instrument in the hands of our Heavenly Father, as I am, and as we all are, to work out His great purposes, 

I have desired that all my works and acts may be according to His will, and that it might be so, I have sought His aid…

Lincoln continued:

“But if, after endeavoring to do my best in the light which He affords me, I find my efforts fail, I must believe that for some purpose unknown to me, He wills it otherwise. 

If I had my way, this war would never have been commenced. 

If I had been allowed my way, this war would have ended before this.

But we find it still continues; 

and we must believe that He permits it for some wise purpose of His own, mysterious and unknown to us…”

Lincoln concluded:

“…and though with our limited understandings we may not be able to comprehend it, 

yet we cannot but believe, that He who made the world still governs it.”

Not until Lincoln “set the captives free” with an EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION, did he see the war begin to turn in his favor.

So it shall be with America, Australia and Canada.  Until we release the captives of abortion…Until we declare an EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION and overthrow the abomination of Roe v. Wade and its evil stain throughout the Western World…we shall lose the war.

This does not mean that ISIS is not disgustingly evil.  This does not mean that all good Christians shouldn’t do what they can to protect the Christians of Iraq and the world.  However…if we really want to help the rest of the world, the first thing we need to do is….

REPENT! 

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
~1 Peter 3:12

the face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to blot out their name from the earth. 
~Psalm 34:16
