Former President Barack Obama is diving into politics once again by appearing in a video warning against the supposed damaging effects of partisan gerrymandering and calling on voters to politicians who support his idea of “fair” redistricting maps.

Ah, the dynamic duo of Barack Obama and Eric Holder have resurfaced. You remember them, right? They rose to infamy with the ‘Fast and Furious’ gun running scandal that sold guns to Mexican drug gangs, and resulted in the shooting death of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry. ‘Fast and Furious‘ was actually the very first known scandal of the Obama administration, but wouldn’t even be close to the last.

FROM THE DAILY CALLER: Former President Barack Obama is diving into politics once again by appearing in a video warning against the supposed damaging effects of partisan gerrymandering and calling on voters to politicians who support his idea of “fair” redistricting maps. The video, released Wednesday by the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, blames Republicans for creating “structural advantages that would eventually determine every future election” through new district maps. Despite Obama attempting to make the issue of partisan gerrymandering seem bipartisan, he squarely blames the GOP and says the current congressional map protects “tax breaks for the most powerful, the gun lobby and environmental polluters.” “Regardless of our party affiliations, it’s not good for our democracy,” Obama said.

Barack Obama may think he is returning to lead the Democratic Party, but he may be a little late. Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the golden child of the moment, and she is the one that all the power brokers are flocking to.

FROM MEDIUM: It cannot be overstated just how seismic Ocasio-Cortez’s victory can be within New York City politics and what a drastic reordering of power it represents, a jolt on the scale of Tammany Hall’s defeat more than a half century ago. Crowley used his standing as a House speaker-in-waiting to convince just about every elected official, staffer, and interest group in the state that he was someone worth paying deference to. She is now a national figure, but she is first a daughter of New York. There’s much work to be done. Replacing a frail, undemocratic Democratic apparatus is a nice start. Thanks to her, that is actually, finally possible. READ MORE

For a party that could not have imagined life without him a year ago, it seems to already have left him behind.

Is December 21. 2012 the end of the world as we know it?

“Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?” 2 Peter 3:12

For those of you who don’t know of the Mayan prophecy that the world will end on December 21, 2012, here is the gist of it:

The Mayan Calendar and the end of the world

“The 2012 phenomenon comprises a range of eschatological beliefs according to which cataclysmic or transformative events will occur on 21 December 2012. This date is regarded as the end-date of a 5125-year-long cycle in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar. Various astronomical alignments and numerological formulae have been proposed as pertaining to this date, though none have been accepted by mainstream scholarship.

A New Age interpretation of this transition is that the date marks the start of time in which Earth and its inhabitants may undergo a positive physical or spiritual transformation, and that 21 December, 2012 may mark the beginning of a new era. Others suggest that the date marks the end of the world or a similar catastrophe. Scenarios suggested for the end of the world include the arrival of the next solar maximum, an interaction between Earth and the black hole at the center of the galaxy, or Earth’s collision with a planet called “Nibiru”. source – Wikipedia

What the bible has to say about December 21, 2012

While the bible does not mention December 21, 2012 in particular, it has a lot to say about the end times and the point at which the world will come to an end. The end of the world is mentioned in the writings of the apostle Peter, where we read the following:

“But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” 2 Peter 3

But according to the bible, the cataclysmic scene described in 2 Peter happens after the Rapture of the Church, after the Great Tribulation, after the Battle of Armageddon, after the 1,000 Year Reign of Jesus in Jerusalem, and after the White Throne Judgment.

So, according to the bible, we can safely say that the world cannot in any wise end for at least another 1,007 years…but don’t let that lull you into a false and deceptive sense of complacency. While its true that the world cannot end before then, YOU can certainly come to YOUR end at any moment. It is possible that you could die before you finish reading this article. Have you prepared to face the day of your own death?

Be ye ready for in such an hour as you think not…

“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” Hebrews 9:27

You Can Be Saved–Right Now. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” Romans 10: 9-10

Pray and ask the Lord, “Lord Jesus, be merciful to me a sinner, and save me. I now, with a repentant heart, receive you as my personal Saviour. I accept your sacrifice on the cross as full and complete payment for the penalty of my sins. I know I deserve hell, but I humbly ask you now to forgive me, and wash me clean in your own shed blood.”

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:13
