Ephesians 5:11, 13-16: "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of
darkness, but rather reprove them. But all things that are reproved are made
manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Wherefore he
saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give
thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil."
The 1828 Noah Webster Dictionary defines:
Reprove: To blame, to convince of a fault, or to make it manifest, to excite a sense
of guilt.
Circumspectly: Cautiously; with watchfulness every way; with attention to guard
against surprise or danger.
Matthew 24:24: "...if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."
II Corinthians 2:11: "Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not
ignorant of his devices."
II Chronicles 7:14: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble
themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then
will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
Obama‟s Biggest Conspiracy – FunVax
Posted on March 22, 2011 by funvax
There are dozens of conspiracy theories about President Obama but there is one that is
more important & bigger than any of conspiracies previously published. The project
actually started under the Bush Administration, but continues under, and is approved
by, the Obama Administration. Its code name is FunVax. It stands for
Fundamentalism Vaccine.
FunVax is a Department of Defense project started in 2004. It’s purpose was to
eliminate terrorism in the Middle East. The method – genetically manipulating religious
fanatics causing them to give up their fundamentalist beliefs.
How It Works -
At the turn of the century, a gene called VMAT2 was discovered. This gene eventually
became known as the God Gene. The God Gene predisposes people to have spiritual
experiences. People that are fundamentalists supposedly have an over-expression of
VMAT2. DoD scientists used this information to create a vaccine against religious
fundamentalism. It was a viral vaccine that spreads via air and is designed to inhibit the
expression of the VMAT2 gene causing people to become less religious. It took
government scientists 5 years to perfect the vaccine but in 2009 they field tested it in
Iraq. Then Iran. President Obama has authorizes the release of FunVax throughout
every Muslim country. But what’s going to stop him from releasing it in America? The
government is replacing freewill with programmed thoughts. Please help by sharing this
blog with Friends and Family, because the more people that know about FunVax, the
better off we all are.

Joey Lambardi To Release Funvax Evidence June 1st, 2011

Posted on April 7, 2011 by funvax
The FunVax Whistle blower, Joey Lambardi, has been on the run for the last three
months so our interview with him has been delayed. But through email he let us know
that he plans on to releases two pieces of evidence that he has against the government.
Joey Lambardi was in a special unit of the military called Combat Camera. As part of
the unit, Joey’s job demanded that he record sensitive information. Like us, he thought
that the FunVax project was government gone out of control. And like a real American
he stood up for what he believed in. He went AWOL from his assignment and his now a
hunted like an animal.
Because of our relationship with Joey, he agreed to release everything he has on this
web site as well as other major news sources like CNN, Fox and MSNBC. But there is
a catch. He doesn’t want to be risking his neck for an audience of 10 or 20 people…We
promised him we can get 200,000 people to visit this site on June 1st. This information
can change the world but we need your help. As of today, April 7th, 2011 we have a
little over a thousand people visiting this site. Please, spread the word and help us end
government mind control.

Pentagon Eugenics Alter DNA breed out Religious impulses via FunVax
Vaccinations & Aerosol Spraying!--Video
This is from the Department of Defense back in 2005!! Here are the notes taken from
the original publisher of this video:

Pentagon Department of Defense briefing from 2005. They want to alter populations
DNA to breed out religious impulses via vaccinations and aerosol spraying from
above. They purport to have isolated a problematic gene causing religious
impulsive behavior, of which the presence supposedly can be identified with
brain scans. So again for OUR "SAFETY"...another vaccine.

Hmmmm....I wonder if this the latest additive to our chem-trails and flouridated water
supplies. Yes they love the people so much that they want us all to have great teeth &
cloudy skies so we won’t get sunburnt!

FunVax is a Government made viral vaccine that "cures" religious

fundamentalism. The government is claiming FunVax has brought stability to several
countries in the Middle East and is currently responsible for the pro-democracy rallies
through out the Middle East. Joey Lambardi originally leaked this information and is
planning on making all his evidence available at http://FunVax.wordpress.com

This is a lecture by an unidentified scientist given to DoD officials inside the Pentagon. It
is dated 4-13-05 -- about a year after the "God Gene" was first discovered. The scientist
describes a plan to alter the "God Gene" in the Middle Easter Population in order to end
the turmoil in that region. This video was acquired through an unknown source and from
my knowledge, connections and experience as part of a unit called combat camera, I
have verified it to be authentic.

God is not compatible with the authoritarian political system that progressives desire to
establish. Those with religious tendencies tend to be, in the opinion of the statists, too
independent in their thought, and place God at a higher level of importance in their lives
than government. Therefore, as Karl Marx pointed out, as Saul Alinsky pointed out, and
as every progressive authoritarian system has attempted, God must be eliminated.

Authoritarian political systems tend to be anti-religious, or a theocracy as in the case of

Islam. The secular authoritarian systems all attempted to stamp out religion every
chance they could muster. From the French Revolution, to the Russian Revolution, to
the current secular nature of the American liberal, Christianity is the enemy. But
persecution of Christianity, for example, has not destroyed the faith, but has actually
strengthened it. Physically removing Christianity from our culture is not possible. The
Romans tried it, the French tried it, the Russians tried it, etc. - and each time the
attempt not only failed, but made the Christianity stronger.

But the anti-religious progressive liberals in the United States Government believe they
have found what will work. If God cannot be removed from the physical world, then he
must be removed from the minds of the worshippers.

Scientists, and now also American Government scientists, have concluded that a gene
causes people to be “religious fanatics”, and that it is possible to stamp out God by
manipulating the brain with a virus to eliminate religious tendencies - and they have
been discussing how to accomplish this in meetings at the Pentagon.

To these people it is just a matter of behavior control, so as to eliminate yet another

obstacle standing in the way of their plan for utopianism. Remember, secular
progressives believe that humanity is evolving towards a singularity in which society will
be fully neutral and just - and the only thing standing in the way is religion.

According to some figures in the Pentagon, religious behavior is fanatical behavior,

therefore it must be quelled. They treat it as if it is a disease, or a mental handicap. The
cause of this undesirable behavior is the God Gene, or VMAT2. These officials believe
that an individual's ability to believe in God is a consequence of genes, and that it is
something the individual has no control over and therefore the tendency to be religious,
if it is indeed caused by a gene that is directly responsible for an inherited predisposition
for spirituality, must be suppressed.

For some reason movies like "Equilibrium" and George Lucas' THX-1138 - in the sense
of mind control by the government - comes to mind.

According to some Pentagon officials, persons who do not show fundamental religious
tendencies are "safe" citizens and therefore the more desired type of people in society.
The goal, rather than remove the people that are undesirable, is to reprogram the
undesirables so that they will function in society in an acceptable manner.

Is the concept of Eugenics coming to mind at all?

The means to accomplish the elimination of an undesired behavior like religious

fundamentalism, which these people believe to be the sole source of violence and strife
in the world, is to deliver a virus into the bodily systems of these religious people. The
virus, the theory goes, would neutralize VMAT2, and enable a secular society of peace
loving, daisy dancing, unicorn riding individuals to arise instead. In other words, a
vaccination would resolve the over-expression of the VMAT2 gene, making those
religious folk just like everyone else. . . calm and compliant.

"Killing Israeli children are fine," says Muslim cleric

June 2, 2011--A senior Iranian cleric, who is known as President Mahmoud

Ahmadinejad's spiritual mentor, urged followers to continue suicide attacks against
Israelis, including children. Ayatollah Mohammad Mesbah, considered one of the
Islamic Republic's most radical clerics, issued a religious edict on his website whereby
suicide attacks are not only legitimate but are a must for every Muslim, a special paper

Why Israel mustn't withdraw to its pre '67 borders line

A listener writes--Hi everyone, this link was sent by a friend of ours in Israel. If you
haven't already seen this short five-minute video about Israel's borders, please have a
look at it. It gives you a very good idea of what all this talk is all about in the halls of US
Politics trying to force Israel to withdraw to the battle lines of April 3, 1949. And as my
friend says, "Then, you will see why Obama is trying to feed Israel to the surrounding
Arab nations, for lunch."

Open Letter To Evangelical and Protestant Pastors Worldwide

Now is the Day to Turn Back to God‟s Word
www.understandthetimes.org
For printer friendly version, please click here
From: Roger Oakland, Understand The Times
The following letter is to all Bible-believing pastors throughout the world who have
been or are being influenced by current trends that are attacking the Word of God
through the postmodern humanistic mystical belief system. I have witnessed this
deception firsthand on a worldwide basis but am most familiar with what has been
happening in the two fellowships I have been part of for the past thirty years - one in
Canada and one based in southern California.
It is with a heavy heart I write this open letter to those who consider themselves
evangelical or Protestant pastors. While my desire is to do this respectfully and with
the love of the Lord, I am compelled with a strong sense of responsibility to write this
warning.
The fact is we are living in a time in history where there is great spiritual apostasy (a
falling away), and sadly, many pastors don’t even realize it is happening. Others
realize it but don’t know what to do about it, while still others see it but promote it
anyway. The purpose of this letter is to shine light on the darkness that has crept into
so many churches today.
For many years, I have documented my concerns about this apostasy and presented
the evidence to the body of Christ. An article I wrote a few years ago called “Ichabod”
described the departing of God’s Spirit from many churches. That article was later
followed by the commentary “Is Your Denomination a Sinking Titanic?.” I believe we
are witnessing the sinking of the Titanic at the present time. While most are still
dancing around in the ballroom, a few have chosen to get off the boat. How many
get off in time is the question that remains to be answered. Please view this short
YouTube video of the Sinking of the Titanic
While I recognize that I am “marked” by some as someone who has caused division
within the church, please understand I do not fear any man. I look to Jesus Christ
and am committed to tell the truth whatever the cost. I know I have enemies among
the “brethren” who insist that I remain silent. I have also been falsely accused and
slandered by gossip as a means of discrediting me.
The Bible teaches that we should never fear man or follow man’s ways. “There is a
way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death”
(Proverbs 14:12). We should fear God and His Word alone. Based upon what God
revealed to Ezekiel (Chapter 3: 17-20), there is a biblical principal that cannot be
overlooked. When God reveals deception and darkness, a watchman must speak out
and tell the truth regardless of the circumstances and the consequences.
What I find very alarming is that many pastors who gave warnings in the past
about End Times deception seem to have now ceased and become silent.
Taking the place of the warnings are teachings or promotion on everything
from church-growth, seeker-friendly, contemplative spirituality, Purpose
Driven, postmodern/emerging spirituality to even a Catholic/Jesuit agenda.
These various teachings are not biblical Christianity, and for many pastors who once
taught the Bible faithfully, these seductive teachings have pulled these pastors in a
direction that negates so much of what they once stood for. It is not uncommon now
to hear these pastors espousing those such as Mark Driscoll, Rob Bell, Richard
Foster, and Rick Warren, all of whom de-emphasize Bible prophecy of the last days
and emphasize the “Kingdom of God on earth” now.
Some pastors recognize that their own denominations or fellowships have turned or
are turning away from the teachings of the Bible, yet so many have remained active
participants of these denominations. As the years go by, these pastors do not speak
up – they are silent. Is this silence an indication that they have bought into a sensual,
carnal, three-legged stool plan that links hands with those such as Rick Warren and
Tony Blair and is on the road to Rome for a One World Religion? I fear that for many
that is the case. What may have begun as “looking the other way” has become
outright rebellion in many cases. This is the way deception often happens.
We are living in the time of strong delusion that Paul wrote about (2 Thessalonians
2:11). If you are a Bible-believing pastor, shouldn’t you be helping to lead the way in
warning about deception, not promoting the apostate agenda in any fashion?
Ecumenism within the church has been allowed to develop for years.
When a pastor does not warn his flock about ecumenical apostasy, it sends the
message that exposing apostasy is just not that important. When a church,
organization, or denomination starts down the Road to Rome, there is very little
chance of turning back – the pull is just too great. Nowhere in the Bible is it
acceptable to join hands with those who promote another Jesus and another gospel
like that of the Roman Catholic Church.
This is why John warned: come out of her (the harlot) and be not partakers of her
plagues (Revelation 18:4).
Rev 3:14 ¶ And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These
things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the
creation of God; Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot:
I would thou wert cold or hot. Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm,
and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Rev 3:17 Because
thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing;
and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind,
and naked: Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that
thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and [that]
the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with
eyesalve, that thou mayest see. Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and
chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the
door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to
him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh
will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set
down with my Father in his throne. Rev 3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear
what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

In June 1981, Chuck Smith, the founder of the Calvary Chapel movement, invited me
to fly down from my farm in Saskatchewan, Canada to speak at Costa Mesa at a
four-night conference called “The Bible: Key to Understanding Science, History and
the Future.” Seven years later, in the fall of 1988, Chuck Smith asked me to join the
staff at Costa Mesa. My family moved to Orange County, California from
Saskatchewan, Canada.
My position at Costa Mesa involved being an outreach from CCCM as an apologist in
the area of creation and evolution. I also showed the association of the New Age
Movement and its relationship to Bible Prophecy.
In 1991, after being on staff for three years, Understand The Times was founded as
an independent ministry, separate from CCCM. However, UTT was still closely
associated with CCCM and was given missionary support. The UTT association with
Calvary Chapel pastors and missionaries encompassed the world for about twenty
years.
During a fifteen year time period, UTT had an office on church property at CCCM
from time to time. Understand The Times had a five-minute radio program that aired
on KWAVE and CSN for over ten years. I also had close relationships with members
of the Smith family including Chuck’s brother Paul and his son Jeff.
While many of my experiences and associations with those in Calvary Chapel had
been good over the years, I observed many serious problems in the Calvary Chapel
movement, especially in the last five years. Many Calvary Chapel pastors I know
have admitted they also see these same warning signs, but most have not felt they
could speak out.
The reason I am writing this letter as an open letter to all pastors is because I believe
that many of the problems I witnessed while part of the Calvary Chapel movement
are the same problems that many other Christian organizations and denominations
are experiencing today. And many of these kinds of problems lead to deception and
apostasy.

Smith, Chuck
General Teachings/Activities (1/02) Calvary Chapel Movement (1/02)
Today many evangelical and Protestant pastors are operating on the principal or idea
that if their churches are small, there is something wrong with them. The “doctrine of
big” has replaced the doctrine of being faithful to the Word of God. Along with this
doctrine of big comes the subtle attitude that any “offensiveness” must be removed
from the church. Thus, a watered-down gospel takes effect; and thus, people in the
churches are not hearing the true Gospel. Bibles are left at home, hymns are
stopped, and talk about the blood of Jesus and His atonement for our sin ceases.
As Bible-believing Christians, we should be able to discern that there is a flaw in this
doctrine of big. As churches get bigger, more funds are required to accommodate
bigger budgets. The bigger the budget the bigger the offering is needed to meet the
budget, and big donors become more and more important. Now you have a situation
where the pastor preaches carefully so as not to create controversy. Controversy can
cause powerful donors to leave. Pastors who once feared God now become man-
fearing where doctrine is determined by men and their motives, and not by God’s
Spirit and His Word.
Over the past two decades, I believe the Lord led me to author or co-author six
books warning about the ecumenical one world religion movement and how it is
impacting Christianity. These were: (1) New Wine or Old Deception (2) When New
Wine Makes a Man Divine (3) New Wine and the Babylonian Vine (4) How
Marian Apparitions Plan to Unite the World’s Religions (5) Another Jesus: The
Eucharistic Christ and the New Evangelization (6) Faith Undone: The Emerging
Church - a New Reformation or an End Time Deception. God has put in my heart
all these years a passion to warn of impending spiritual danger.
On March 6, 2011, I attended the Peace in a Globalized Society Forum that was held
at Saddleback. Rick Warren and Tony Blair both explained what they are doing to set
up a one-world religious program for peace. Yet even though it has become most
apparent to many discerning Christians what is taking place with Rick Warren and his
“new” reformation, very few pastors are publically denouncing the Purpose Driven
Peace Plan. In fact, prominent pastors like John Piper are embracing Rick Warren
and his teachings.

As I have written in some of my books, Ignatius Loyola was the founder of the Order
of the Jesuits in the Catholic Church. The Jesuit goal is to turn the inerrant Word of
God into the word of man while at the same time promoting the word of the pope as
the word of God. In addition, the Jesuit ambition is to bring the “lost brethren” back to
the “Mother” church (read Another Jesus). This is no minor thing. I have been to the
city of Rome. I have seen the multitudes worship and adore a man (the Pope) who
carries a wafer and a vial of juice that is supposed to be the literal body and blood of
Jesus Christ. Martyrs in earlier centuries were murdered for rejecting the papacy and
the Eucharist. And yet today, I am horrified to watch once Bible-believing pastors turn
their hearts and their congregations toward Rome, often through a Jesuit influence.
Instances of this are occurring more every day.

Faithful Baptist Witness by Dr. Phil Stringer

Now that Rick Warren and Tony Blair (who converted to Catholicism) have
announced they will be working together to set up a One World Religion as they did
on March 6, 2011 in southern California, how will Christian pastors respond to this?
Or will they at all? History shows, most probably won’t.
What is known as fact is this: the emerging/postmodern, Purpose Driven ecumenical,
contemplative mindset in the Evangelical or Protestant Christian church has not gone
away. And it is not popular to speak against this growing apostasy. It is a lot easier to
go down stream than upstream. The Bible foretells we are in the Last Days. What do
you as Christian pastors want to be: dead salmon washed out to sea or true fishers
of men?
Check the Bible! There will be a One World Religion. Do you want to be part of the
problem, or do you want to be standing up for truth? The latter is not easy and
carries with it a high price.

Teaching and preaching the Word of God is a high calling. You should always be
true to your calling and remain true to the Word. And yet, many know that something
is seriously wrong, but they say nothing.
Saying nothing can be as detrimental as outrightly supporting the lie. It is time to
wake up! We are in the last days, and many sheep are being deceived, and pastors
have a huge role in that deception taking place. When the sheep have the wool
pulled over their eyes, they cannot see. This is not acceptable. What about the
wolves who are among the flock? Good shepherds should never allow that to
happen.

Isa 56:10 His watchmen [are] blind: they are all ignorant, they [are] all dumb
dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
Isa 56:11 Yea, [they are] greedy dogs [which] can never have enough, and they
[are] shepherds [that] cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every
one for his gain, from his quarter.
Isa 56:12 Come ye, [say they], I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with
strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, [and] much more abundant.

Jer 23:2 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that
feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have
not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the
LORD.
Jer 23:3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I
have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be
fruitful and increase.
Jer 23:4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and
they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith
the LORD.

While there still remain faithful Christian pastors who look to Jesus Christ as their
Good Shepherd and still believe in the inerrant Word of God, the fact that so many
pastors have moved away from the basics of biblical Christianity toward a man-made
apostate church will result in much of the flock drifting with them.
And may I say this to any believer who now realizes his or her own pastor is
compromising the Word of God and embracing apostate teachings: If you have done
what you can to warn and exhort your pastor(s) to turn back to the truth, and if your
warnings and exhortations are rejected, perhaps it is time to get out of that church.
Paul addressed this when he said: “A man that is an heretick after the first and
second admonition reject” Titus 3:10.
Deception has crept in, unnoticed to many, and even at times been purposely
covered up. Jude warned this was happening in his day (Jude 3 & 4).
Jud 1:3 ¶ Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common
salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort [you] that ye
should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the
saints.
Jud 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old
ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into
lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
The same is true in the perilous days in which we live (2 Timothy 3: 1-5).
As of last fall, I am no longer affiliated with the Calvary Chapel movement, although I
am still friends with and associate with some of the pastors, ones who have sought to
remain faithful to the Lord and His Word.
As do many leaders in the body of Christ, Calvary Chapel pastors who have veered
need to get right, and they need to do it quickly. According to the Word, our
redemption draweth nigh.
If you are a pastor who has succumbed to the present-day spiritual apostasy, get
back to the Word of God, and preach it, and teach it! If your congregation shrinks, so
what! Better to have a few who are solid and can go out and be fruitful for the Lord
than have a mega church full of participants of a social gospel that is being prepared
for the coming One World Religion.
While the large-scale move toward apostasy has been taking place for some time,
and postmodern/emerging, Purpose-Driven ideas are widely accepted, there still may
be time if pastors will repent and return to the purity of the Gospel and God’s Word.
Many pastors reading this open letter who belong to an organization or denomination
may feel fearful about leaving the security of such a “covering.” Perhaps you have
never been out from under that umbrella. But at some point, you are going to have to
ask yourself the question, Am I really “counting all things but loss” in order to gain
Christ (Philippians 3:8)? Am I taking up my cross and following Him, no matter the
cost (Matthew 16:24)? I have heard stories now of pastors (both in the Calvary
Chapel movement and in other groups and denominations) who finally did make that
decision to separate themselves from any apostate associations. If you are one of
those, continue on with the ministry God has given you and follow Jesus Christ
alone. You can never go wrong by being obedient to Jesus and His Word.
The Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon. May we be found ready and waiting.
Sincerely in Christ,
