Tickling the World's Itching Ears

The apostle Paul said: "For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from truth and turn aside to myths" (2 Timothy 4:3-4).

Indeed, this generation is loath to tolerate not only biblical doctrine but also other truths. President Barack Obama tickles the world's ears with promises of hope, change, peace, harmony, diversity, pluralism and "tolerance," but in too many cases, he has allowed truth to become a casualty -- and more than a harmless casualty. Nowhere was that more clearly demonstrated than in his speech in Cairo to the Muslim world.

Many judge Obama's speeches, not to mention his policies and actions, on his high-sounding rhetoric and professed good will. They ignore his obvious errors and contradictions, duping themselves into believing that supposedly good intentions alone will trump facts and reality and insulate us from the negative consequences that will flow from his distortions.

In his Cairo speech, Obama, as usual, served up a plentiful smorgasbord of platitudes sufficient to appeal to the appetites of almost everyone (except, notably, our steadfast ally Israel). His idolaters in the mainstream media obediently praised him for his "honesty" in trashing America and for his equal-opportunity softball scolding of the Muslim world.

Newsweek's Evan Thomas even likened him to God -- not a god, but God. Many conservative commentators similarly bent over backward to heap guarded praise on him, apparently unable to muster the courage to warn of the dangers inherent in Obama's skewed vision without throwing in the required adulation.

Magnanimous rhetoric has its place, but we cannot achieve peace and security with wishful thinking and falsehoods.

  1. It by all appearances that its more than just the pre mid and post trib. The Old Testament saints are they not the first fruits due Jesus, the first fruits then them at his comings. The next order of them taken believed Mary was carried to Jesus and she then was of the first resurection the next to be taken is the people prophesied who is able to stand those taken before the wrath begins with the earth being hurt by a great earthquake. Rev 6-7. This is believed by some as when the bride of Christ taken due they hd washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb. That the Lord will not forsake those not ready is to be the mid trib when the Lord reaps the earth then these folk join in them of the first resurection. The folk left left behind that refuse the Mark of the beast and his image even to death the Lord to resurrect at his second coming. The two witnesses taken up into a cloud all these people about the first resurrection. Its glorious due Christ will rule a reign from Jerusalem and that we of Christ will be ruling a reigning with Christ. It just interesting that God the Father puts the spirit of the only begotten (The Son) that asChrist was adopted by Joesph to be a son of man that through the only begotten we are the sons of God due we received the spirit of the only begotten (The Son of God) why Hosea where it was said yea were not are the Sons of God that is why in Christ no male nor female no Jew nor Greek, that blessed them that come to this day when the invisible church to be visible Hosea that great will be this day of Jezreel. Dan 12:12 is this Great day of Jezreel not the marriage feast of the Lamb?
