Religious, Financial, Scientific, Social, Political, and Technological events hurtling us toward the TRIBULATION (Matthew 24, Revelation). Time is short. JUDGEMENT is coming. The MARK of the BEAST is imminent. You MUST be saved! ABCs of Salvation:
A-ADMIT OR ACKNOWLEDGE your need for a Savior (Romans 3:10) B-BELIEVE that Jesus Christ came and died for your sins (Acts 16:31)
C-CALL ON the name of Jesus and you WILL be Saved (Romans 10:13)
The caribbean island of Haiti suffered a near 7.0 earthquake on Tuesday, January 12, 2010.
Shortly thereafter, Pat Robertson publically stated that because Haiti gave itself over to the devil in 1791, in order for the natives to succeed against the French, their oppressors. Ever since then, the island has been in the grip of various dictators, cannibalistic thugs, death, immense poverty, and the scourge of HIV.
Was Pat Robertson right? Personally, I believe he is. I have not heard yet of a better reason why this country cannot pull itself up by its own bootstraps to grow and thrive like the Spanish-speaking half of the island, the Dominican Republic. Santo Domingo, DR's capital, thrives, especially where foreign business is related (in fact a company I once worked for had a huge call center in the heart of SD, and still do).
Haitians are said to be "70% catholic, 30% protestant, and 100% voodoo." This formula does not equate to a land of peace and prosperity by any stretch. The U.S. and the U.N. have more than once tried to come to the aid of this impoverished country, only to be driven back by the very people they were trying to help.
This is not to say that God Himself caused this disaster, or that the people of Haiti "deserve" this disaster.God loves the Haitian people, but He wants them to turn to Him with their hearts, minds and souls, and turn away completely from voodoo.As Ephesians 6:12 tells us: "We do not fight against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places."This curse was brought upon the country by its leaders years ago, but until the curse is broken, the country will continue to suffer.
There are indeed some very strong powers and principalities at work in the spiritual world of Haiti, steering the island's people far away from Jesus Christ...and ONLY with Christ can the country, and its people, become whole, healthy and prosperous and truly FREE.
