Construction Site Picketing: Hearings Before the Subcommittee on Labor ...
By United States. Congress. House. Committee on Education and Labor
May I suggest a point that has not been made as to exactly how that would be done. The admitted purpose of the unions which are supporting this bill in their own literature and as stated before this subcommittee is to provide a means whereby construction sites may be captured for the trade unions, and a means whereby nonunion contractors, nonunion employees can be kept away from the construction sites. A correction of the situation such as we have in Baltimore, where the unions abhor the fact that even today nonunion contractors and people that don't belong to unions are still permitted to work on construction and construction sites. The way it would work is this: Gentlemen, this bill has been well planned. I admire the legal talents of the people on the other side of the fence. I have been licked by them now and then. We fought secondary boycott cases a long, long time. The gimmick is beautiful. It is this: At the present time a contractor is permitted to picket a site. He is permitted to picket a site under reasonable rules. He can picket the site whenever the contractor with whom he has a dispute is there.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You said a contractor. Did you mean a union?
Mr. Mahin. I am sorry, a union. A union is permitted to picket a site whenever his contractor is there, subject to rules which the Board has provided. He must be there. The picketing must make it clear that the dispute is with the particular contractor, and it must occur when the contractor is really engaged there and not just stopping by casually
That is the present situation. So the construction trades now have the opportunity to picket under reasonable conditions.
Now what does the new law do? You remember the proviso in section (e) which now permits a union in respect of a construction site to require a contract of a boycott nature, generally interpreted to mean that union A can contract with a contractor; that that contractor will not deal with a nonunion contractor. What does that mean? On a construction site say, 20 contractors, 50 acres, or a hundred acres, whatever it may be, if the union either has a contract with one contractor on that site or is striking for a contract with that contractor, it
а may under this bill picket the entire site, which could not be done otherwise. It would not in the union's view violate the new 8(b) (7) provision against organizational and recognition picketing because its fight would not be with the others, presumably. It would not be trying to organize the others. It would not be picketing any of the others as such. It would merely be trying to enforce its little gimmick contract with the single contractor that he on that site would not deal with any contractor who was nonunion.
Gentlemen, there is no question but that it would provide absolute means of evading by the building trades unions the antipicketing provisions which were worked out after such long deliberation in this body and the Senate last fall.
It is my experience that the vast majority of the secondary boycotts at construction sites are the result of objections by a construction union to the letting of a contract to a contractor whose employees do not wish to join a union or belong to another union.
This is exactly what was in mind when the 8(e) proviso was passed. Under the proposed legislation, the building trades unions of the AFL-CIO—and I am not criticizing them particularly but that they
in control can do these things—and the Teamster locals, whose members are engaged in hauling to and from building sites, would be permitted to secondary boycott the employees of other construction units not a part of the giant AFL-CIO federation. For example, the United Mine Workers have a group of construction workmen holding membership in good old District 50 of the UMW. If the construction contractors employees happened to prefer membership in the UMW, they would be boycotted off a jobsite if the area is controlled by the AFL-CIO building trades. This same result would occur to any independent building union that might be established in the future. In other words, H.R. 9070 would permit big unions to get bigger at the expense of smaller or independent unions, and no new labor organization could ever be started.
And in the double nature of things no nonunion contractor could ever approach a construction site on which one of these 8(e) contracts was in existence or being struck for.
Further, as you gentlemen well know, one of the problems even today in the building trade setup is that of jurisdictional strikes. It is indisputable that this bill which would permit a trade union, having a dispute with one contractor, jurisdictional or otherwise, to completely close down the site. The situation we had in Chicago in the old days where the whole area was closed down and which led eventually to the Landis award which you gentlemen remember, could be reenacted legally under this bill, which can not be done now because the Labor Board under its reasonable rules has required that if the union has a dispute with a given contractor, his picketing be directed to that contractor. I would like to illustrate that, if I might.
Take the Levitt construction areas and the vast acres you have there, the Nixon projects throughout Chicago, the Metropolitan projects throughout the country, what does this bill mean? It means that out of 20 contractors the union can gain control, dominate and establish closed shop conditions and avoid completely the antipicketing provisions of 8(e) by the simple device of controlling one contractor.
I will take one of my own friends, the Glaziers, in Chicago. I was privileged to be involved in the Joliet contractor's case. The Glaziers at one spot on the Levitt construction project may be putting in windows which will take them 4 hours. If the union has a dispute with that particular contract under present laws they can picket that location, provided they do it while the employees of that particular contractor are there, and make it known that is what they are doing. Under this bill, gentlemen, it is inescapable that that Glaziers Union could shut down the entire construction site in furtherance of its own dispute, a most inequitable result not only to the public and the people that live there, but to the many other unions whose employees otherwise would be perfectly happy to continue to work and would continue to work in large part under the Board's present rules.
I think it is fruitful, too, when the people are asking for the first apple to see who may warrant the first apple.
I would like to refer to a few statistics. An examination of these boycott statistics supplied by the Labor Board for the past 3 years reveals that the building trades unions are the greatest exploiters of the secondary boycott. They were the ones in the middle of the Bradley case which was the real reason for the original provisions. But the Teamsters run a close second.
For the calender year 1958, Board records show that there were 520 boycott charges filed. The Teamsters had 22 percent plus. The unions in the building and construction field had 41 percent of all boycotts filed in these United States.
My statement contains a breakdown for that year. In 1957 there were 508 boycott cases filed. The Teamsters had 31 plus; the building trades 32. They are neck and neck that year. The next year, 1956, there were 447 boycott cases filed. This year Teamsters had 28 percent and the building trades more than 36 percent; 1959 figures are not available.
Thus the above statistics indicate, gentlemen, that we are passing legislation to help these underprivileged unions, yet the underprivileged unions, according to their statement, are the ones who have most exploited the secondary boycott in violation of the existing law-41 percent in 1958 building trades; 32 percent, 1957, building trades; 36 percent, 1956, building trades.
The Teamsters get into the act, of course, because your lumber dealers who supply the yards and the contractors who have their own trucks employ Teamster employees. When you add the two together, gentlemen, you have a situation such that by opening the door to secondary boycotts in the construction area you emasculate 50 percent or more, approximately, of the Taft-Hartley prohibitions against secondary boycotts.
Thus we have a strange paradox. Many unions that have had their names involved in various scandals and wrongdoings and whose officials, both large and small, have been investigated by congressional committees, are now before the Congress seeking more power over rank-and-file members and over industry.
I do not want to be misunderstood in that and the succeeding comment. I have dealt with many respectable Carpenters Unions. I have dealt with some respectable Teamsters Unions. I am speaking now not of any particular person or any particular union, except as I might mention them. I am speaking of the fact that we have a group which admittedly represents the strongest combination of union power probably in the country seeking relief by way of more power to enforce closed shop conditions on construction sites.
Mr. WIER. Would you yield right there?
Mr. Mahin. Yes, sir.
Mr. WIER. What do you mean when you refer to a trade union as respectable? How do you come to use that phrase?
Mr. MAHIN. I would give them the benefit of the doubt, Mr. Congressman. I would say anybody who didn't get embroiled against sound truth in the recent disclosures that you gentlemen had and others, I would give them the benefit of being respectable. I would feel one as to whom the proof showed definite dishonesty, abuse of power, and that sort of thing, as not being respectable.
Mr. WIER. I was wondering how you arrived at that phrase because I never referred to employers as employers of "respectability" or employers of "unrespectability." I have always referred to them as employers, "fair" and "reasonable."
Mr. MAHIN. I think those terms could well have been substituted for the word "respectable." I meant the same thing.
Mr. WIER. I have a philosophy that that word "respectable"
Mr. Mahin. Is "irrespectable."
Mr. WIER. It could be interpreted that way. I do not think it applies here in terms of respect. I think it is more of a phrase that should be used that this is a clean, reasonable union. Reasonable union. I have heard most employers refer to business agents and officers of unions in terms of that he is a reasonable fellow. He is not respectable. I would say that some of the fellows that probably got the most going-over here in the Congress and many men that might be referred to in some circles as very respectable, driving a Cadillac car, owning a $35,000 home, living in an elite area and they are looked upon as respectable. Mr. Mahin. That, I assure you, is not what I had in mind. Mr. WIER. I was wondering.
Mr. Mahin. I am sure you recall Senator McClellan's now muchquoted comment on the Operating Engineers Union:
It is hard to imagine how democracy could be more stifled than it is within the International l'nion of Operating Engineers. The union officials milk thousands of dollars out of the union treasury and put it in their own pockets.
The president of the Carpenters, Maurice Hutcheson, is now under indictment by both the United States and the State of Indiana; yet, he continues to hold a vice presidency in the AFL-CIO. When Dave Beck, the Teamster boss, was indicted, he and his union were expelled from the AFL-CIO. Not so with the boss of a building trades unit. The McClellan committee charged Hutcheson's union was a seriously mismanaged organization. A member of the Carpenters executive board, one Charles Johnson, Jr., was disclosed by the McClellan committee to have received $96,500 in commissions for petroleum products sold by the Penn Products Co. to major construction firms with which the Carpenters have collective bargaining agreements. The committee considered this "one of the most gross conflict of interest cases."
When a business agent of Local 106 in Des Moines sought to clean up his union, the MeClellan committee showed he was threatened by armed men and told he would be sent home in a "wooden overcoat."
The House Labor Committee last year investigated conditions in the Plumbers Union in Indiana. I'm sure you recall the testimony of a rank-and-file plumber that the members of his local have nothing to say about contract negotiations or the approval of labor contracts.
I might interject there that a review of the antitrust cases by the U.S. Department of Justice I think reveals more cases of boycotts by the Plumbers Union than almost any other. You will also recall how the union controlled jobs so as to give preference to certain Chicago members.
In 1954 the House Labor Committee investigated officers of the Hod Carriers and Building Laborers Union about kickbacks paid for arranging to have certain men act as administrators of union pension and welfare funds.
I mention these as not all-inclusive but to illustrate a few of the construction unions that would win more power by the enactment of H.R. 9070. These are the kinds of scandal-ridden unions that rankand-file workmen would be forced to join if this bill becomes law. They would be forced to pay dues to such union officials because the secondary boycott power would compel them to do so. I don't limit that comment to unions who have had some bad publicity, putting it lightly.
I extend that to any union. I think it is wrong for any union to be able to force and compel people on a contract job, or any job, for that matter, to belong to the union in order to work there, and to force a contractor not to deal with anybody that is not union in that sense.
Now we have referred to the general and overall effects on the construction unions if this bill were to be enacted and to give them an opportunity to apply boycotts to neutrals. I would like to comment briefly on some of the union contentions that have been presented. I don't think they have a sound case. The officials of the building trades would have the public believe that there is no secondary boycott involved in their attempts to keep nonunion workmen off construction projects.
They reach this conclusion by arguing that there are no true secondary employers involved in the construction of a home, a factory, an office building or a public structure. In their view, there is but one contractor—the general contractor. All of the some 20 various subcontractors, the plumbers, the electricians, the masons, the glaziers, are really one employer. Union officials refuse to accept the reality that these various craftsmen are the employees of independent contractors whose employees have the right to join or refrain from joining a labor organization.
The Supreme Court considered this contention when it decided the Denver Building Trades case in 1951. The Court found that there is not one employer at a construction site, but that each subcontractor is an individual independent employer. Here is the Court's statement:
We agree with the Board also in its conclusion that the fact that the contractor and subcontractor were engaged in the same construction project, and that the contractor had some supervision over the subcontractor's work, did not eliminate the status of each as an independent contractor or make the employees of one the employees of the other. The business relationship between independent contractors is too well established in the law to be overridden without clear language doing so.
Moreover, gentlemen, there is a practical reason, too, that there is not one entity on a construction site. This is not a situation of one big general contractor dealing with two or three fly-by-night subcontractors. Throughout the United States some of the most responsible and extended construction organizations are subcontractors. We represent the Acoustical Contractors Association, substantial organizations, maybe operating on 50 sites at the same time. They have their own business establishments. That is one of their projects.
That is true of many of the contracting groups. In other words, those men are employers, and their employees are employees under the act and entitled to the advantages and protections of the act. The fact that on some occasion they may do part of their work on a construction site certainly should not give any trade union license to picket the construction site and compel the unionization of them and their employees.
This is fiction, the statement that you do not have secondary bovcotts enacted on a construction site. I take you back to the reason

title: Writing CLI unit tests in Perl
description: >
    I recently had to write some unit tests for a small (C) cli script that I
    was writing for an assignment
layout: post
---

I was recently asked to write a small C script for reading some basic system
stats. Nothing particularly exciting, and certainly not worth including any
large unit testing frameworks for. Going without any tests at all (*going
commando*) just doesn't feel right though. Instead, I decided to use Perl and
its [Test::Simple][] module to write some quick tests.

[Test::Simple]: https://metacpan.org/pod/Test::Simple

Here's our program (stored in `script.c`, compiled to `script`):

```c
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, const char* argv[]) {
    printf("argc: %d", argc);

    if (argc == 1) {
        printf("you called this script with no arguments\n");
    } else if (argc == 2) {
        printf("you called this script with 1 argument\n");
    } else {
        printf("you called this script with %d arguments\n", argc - 1);
    }

    return 0;
}
```

Easy enough, we can test this. Here's our test script:

```perl
#!/usr/bin/env perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;

use Test::Simple tests => 4;

ok(`./script` =~ /no arguments$/, "no args");
ok(`./script foo` =~ /1 argument$/, "1 arg");
ok(`./script foo bar` =~ /2 arguments$/, "2 args");
ok(`./script foo bar baz` =~ /3 arguments$/, "3 args");
```

Super simple. Let's go over the parts of the script.

```perl
#!/usr/bin/env perl -w
```

Perl's she-bang line. This just tells the kernel to run this script using the
user's Perl bin with the `-w` (warn) flag on. Normally Perl let's you get away
with a lot of nonsense, and the `-w` flag restricts the level of nonsense that's
acceptable.

>Note: this post originally stated that the she-bang line was for the shell.
>[It's actually for the kernel][correction-source]. The More You Know™

[correction-source]: https://alpha.app.net/cmd/post/32317081

```perl
use Test::Simple tests => 4;
```
Use the `Test::Simple` pod. The most important part here is the `tests => 4`,
which is where we tell the script that we're planning to run 4 tests. That way
it knows that if a different number of tests are run something went wrong and
it'll tell us.

```perl
ok(`./script` =~ /no arguments$/, "no args")
ok(`./script foo` =~ /1 argument$/, "1 arg")
ok(`./script foo bar` =~ /2 arguments$/, "2 args")
ok(`./script foo bar baz` =~ /3 arguments$/, "3 args")
```

Ah, the meat of the script. The `ok` subroutine just tallies up a passed test if
the first argument is true or a failed test if it evaluates to false. The second
(optional) argument is a test title.

The backticks (`` ` ``) around the `./script` execute the command and return
the stdout. The `=~` just returns true if the regex on the right matches
the string on the left.

Running the script gets us:

```
λ ./test.pl
1..4
ok 1 - no args
ok 2 - 1 arg
ok 3 - 2 args
ok 4 - 3 args
```

There, that's an easy (and lightweight) way of testing simple cli scripts.

JEEVAN SATHI – FOR 29 YRS. – SUM 200000 – 5353 PRM WILL BE PAID FOR 29 YRS.
JEEVAN SURABHI – FOR 25 YRS. – SUM 70000 – 3210 PRM WILL BE PAID FOR 18 YRS.
JEEVAN CHHAYA – FOR 19 YRS.- SUM 60000 – 1875 PRM WILL BE PAID FOR 19 YRS.
JEEVAN CHHAYA – FOR 24 RS. – SUM 60000 – 1523 PRM WILL BE PAID FOR 24 YRS.
MONEY BACK – FOR 20 YRS. – SUM 60000 – 2046 PRM WILL BE PAID FOR 20 YRS.
AMULYA JEEVAN – I – 2500000 – 12500 HALF YEARLY FOR 30 YRS.
amulya Jeevan , 12500 half yearly for 25 Lac looks too costly.
good Brand HDFC online term plan is very cheap compare to this one even if you take age in count.
I guess your same yearly amount for amulya jeevan can buy 1 Crore insurance.
and divert all your money in HDFC balanced if you dont wna take much risk. which defenately will beat inflation or atleast protect to erode the value.
If you able to take risk, and as you already taken all policies for more than 25 yrs then go to equity route like Franklin India Bluechip,DSP top 100 or Qauntum LTEF.
shocked to see this. so many people are just buying LIC policies without any knowledge on that (including me).
btw, why do you have 5 JEEVAN SATHI's each having 1 year difference?!
You can continue with the term plan AMULYA JEEVAN. But should not continue other policies. Redirect the investment into Equity MFs. Read the old posts in this forum, that will help.
No.Not at all.these lic policies cannot beat inflation.go for term insurance.and invest in diversified mf for long term.

Спектроскопия с длинной щелью () — метод спектроскопии, позволяющий получать одновременно спектральную и пространственную информацию об объекте. Метод распространён в астрономии.

Методика
Метод заключается в том, что собранный свет (например, с помощью телескопа) в спектрографе проходит через длинную узкую щель, таким образом, остаётся лишь свет, пришедший из узкой полосы на небе. После этого он разделяется по длинам волн с помощью призмы или дифракционной решётки так, чтобы направление рассеяния было перпендикулярно. В результате получается двумерное изображение, на котором одна из координат соответствует пространственному положению источника света, а другая — длине волны.

Применение

Исследование скоростей
Спектроскопия с длинной щелью может использоваться для исследования скоростей движения в протяжённом объекте, к примеру, для получения кривой вращения галактики. Если плоскость галактики лежит почти перпендикулярно картинной плоскости, то из-за её вращения звёзды в одной половине галактики будут приближаться к наблюдателю, а в другой — удаляться. В таком случае из-за эффекта Доплера одни и те же спектральные линии будут смещены, соответственно, в синюю и в красную стороны, из чего можно будет вычислить сами скорости движения звёзд.

Другим подобным примером могут служить планетарные туманности: методом спектроскопии с длинной щелью можно измерять скорости расширения их оболочки. В направлении на центр туманности наблюдается та часть оболочки, которая приближается и та, которая удаляется, а на краях — те части, которые движутся перпендикулярно лучу зрения, то есть, их лучевые скорости равны нулю.

Изучение тусклых объектов на фоне ярких
Если рядом с тусклым объектом находится яркий, то наблюдение первого сильно затрудняется. Однако, при правильном выставлении щели яркий объект будет затемнён и свет от него не будет попадать в спектрограф, тем самым отношение сигнал/шум увеличится. К примеру, такой способ применяется при изучении объектов Хербига — Аро.

While much is written about cybersecurity technology, I believe the most essential element for a successful cybersecurity plan—the cybersecurity professional—deserves greater focus. Here are my seven predictions for the 2019 cybersecurity hiring market.
Government positions will add to increasing demand for talent.
You've probably seen headlines about the Pentagon, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) increasing their cybersecurity workforce. A quick look at the 2018 DHS Cybersecurity Policy makes it easy to imagine the need for thousands of new, highly-skilled professionals to accomplish goals including assessing evolving cybersecurity risks, protecting information systems and critical infrastructure, reducing threats and enabling security and reliability of global cyber ecosystem. As the government draws from commercial market talent pools, there will be even fewer resources for employers.
Companies will invest in cybersecurity training and development.
As the demand for specific skills increase, especially in tight labor markets, companies have historically shifted their energy from buying talent to growing it from within. Expect a shift toward identifying smart, talented professionals, and building cybersecurity expertise. I predict cyber employee education will increase substantially throughout 2019.
Cybersecurity problems can't always be solved by technology alone.
I believe a talented cyber pro will be worth their weight in gold, even as many organizations look to technology solutions to mitigate risk and tackle challenges. Having the right people in place will ready an organization to prevent or avoid problems; I predict the most progressive organizations will increase their percentage of cybersecurity budget spent on human resources.
Certifications will improve your opportunities.
I believe we will see more managers asking for certifications as well as a dramatic increase in the number of certified cybersecurity professionals. Because the field is still evolving, I also foresee an expansion in the kinds of cybersecurity certifications. Credentials like specialized certifications can open doors of opportunity because hiring managers often perceive added value over a non-certified professional for highly technical roles.
A more streamlined interview process.
We are already witnessing compressed hiring timelines. The days of multiple screenings followed by rounds of interviews and a lengthy decision-making process are fading fast. With full employment, cybersecurity pros are busy. To recruit them from an existing opportunity, successful hiring organizations are condensing the process. I predict the most successful prospective employers will keep the steps to a minimum, for example: one technical telephone screening and one round of in-person interviews, lasting no more than a single afternoon.
A low supply makes us find creative ways to fill the need. We are seeing a huge spike in the number of contract openings we receive. It used to be that a cyber pro would only be hired in a full-time salaried position. This will no longer be true. Companies will hire the best person available no matter their employment status (contract vs. full-time).
A simple résumé will win the edge over using LinkedIn.
Simplicity reigns in times when speed is of the essence. As much as LinkedIn offers, it often results in confusion and can be a time burden. We are finding that employers want something short, concise, and straight to the point—a résumé written in a compressed format. What's preferred by many is a one-page resume built around succinct headlines. The prospective interviewer can quickly review prerequisites and then ask questions where further explanation is desired. My prediction is that simplified résumés are the new best way.

Coming Out When Famous: Burden or Responsibility?

Robin is an actor and a languages enthusiast, freshly-graduated from the University of London. He spends a fair amount of time in the YouTube community, and recently made the documentary 'Coming Out, Going On' for National Coming Out Day 2012.

Keeping It Positive – The Silence Of Mainstream News On LGBT - 22 July, 2013
Last week, in front of millions of people, Jodie Foster ended years of speculation about her sexuality. Although some say she spent most of them in a 'glass closet', she is still one of a very select group of Hollywood celebrities who have felt able to be open about their sexuality. This in turn baffles and saddens me.
It saddens me because this is the industry I am slowly making my way into. It baffles me because from those few whom I have met and/or worked with in this industry so far, I have received nothing but acceptance.
Obviously I must be careful with statements like that to remember that the people I know are part of the British industry. Hollywood is a lot more intrinsic in American culture as it reacts to and against its audience. It's saddening to see that despite the fact that there are quite a few success stories amongst LGBT American TV and Film personalities, there is still a reluctance by others to come out for fear of irrevocably damaging their career.
As disheartening as it is, you can see their point – it was only 16 years ago that Ellen DeGeneres came out on the cover of Time magazine and, as she puts it, "the phone didn't ring for three years." But as much as her story is the answer to the question "What's the worst that could happen?", it is also a testament to how you can pick yourself up again. The Ellen DeGeneres Show is now in its tenth season with its host herself revered as someone who is generous to those in need, and as someone who has made it back up after falling out of public affection.
Is it fair that the few celebrities who are out must bear the brunt of being role models and the trail-blazers in an industry anxious about alienating its audience? Chris Colfer from Glee said in an interview last week that whilst he was "honoured" to be a role model, the responsibility of it can be "overwhelming". Now, I'm a huge fan of Chris Colfer, and by all accounts he's a lovely and patient man – but if he is getting overwhelmed by it, you know it's big!
This culture of fear about what will happen on the other side of the closet can only be dismissed once more celebrities come out and treat sexuality as a normal, unexceptional component of life. That is, come out by their own free will, not by being outed. To confidently show the world that it is okay to express yourself within mainstream culture without fear of hatred is perhaps the biggest challenge. Times have changed since Ellen's coming out, and yes, things are far from perfect, but if there is one thing the internet has given us, it's the ability to galvanise our resources and mobilise ourselves towards supporting those who do have the courage to come out. Maybe then it'll help their peers to do the same.

Millennium Actress isn't just one of the best Anime films of all time but it can easily stand against some of the greats in the live action arena. The story it tells and the way it tells it cannot be done in any other format but it's one of those stories that everyone can relate to.(The story itself is pretty much based on a real life actress although Kon never said explicitly that it was based on her life)
It was really sad how Dreamworks treated the film when they brought it over to the US. They pretty much only brought it over to help expand their own animation line up they were launching at the time and never really gave the release the attention it deserved. Something that happened all to often with Satoshi Kon's films despite the masterpieces they were.
It's been out of print for quite awhile however it's still very easy to find on Amazon for a very low price(less then 5 bucks in most cases). I would highly recommend it to anyone. Not just anime fans but movie fans in general.

FROM THE HEART: WHO DO YOU FOLLOW?
Pre-Christian paganism demonstrated the ebb and flow of good and evil. Quite popular today is the atheist preaching that Christianity was fashioned after many pagan religions. If they were to give the Holy Bible and those pagan religions a serious study, I believe they would change their mind.
It has been many years since I studied the religions of the world. It was my opinion then, as well as now, that many pagan religions were prophetic in nature of what was to come – making the population of the world ready for the Old Testament History and Prophecy, and even more for the New Testament History, Prophecy Fulfilled, and End Time Prophecy. The disobedience of mankind goes all the way back to Adam, and it is naïve to believe that the redemption "type" in many pagan religions leading up to the redemption "types" in the Old Testament, are just coincidence. Jesus Christ not only fulfilled hundreds of Biblical prophecies, but also the redemptive qualities in many pagan foundational stories.
Of course, somewhere in the first few scriptures in Genesis, Satan fell from grace (taking a third of the angels with him). Through Satan's vanity he imagined himself to be the equal of his Creator. We humans have free will to choose who our Lord will be, and we are in the season where much of mankind believes they are greater than their Creator – to believe themselves gods in word and deed. It takes very little research to discover which pagan religions of antiquity through today are influenced by Satan. The religion of life, and the religions of death reveal their opposing nature upon inspection.
God loves us so much – the same as the majority of human parents love their offspring – that He gave us free will. There would be absolutely no meaning to our existence without the ability to choose in a myriad of ways every second we breathe – life or death – God our Creator or other religions / teachings.
Mankind's existence on this planet has a beginning and will have an end. It seems obvious to me that even though we do not know the day our Lord will take up His Church, or when the 7 years Tribulation will happen after the Rapture, but those who have studied know that we will know the season in time. An expression that we even attribute to our one life on this planet – the spring of life, the summer of life, the fall of life, and the winter of life. If you look at the winter of life, the Tribulation years as like a game, then you could say that the pre-game show is in full swing.
As I have watched so many churches doing their slow turn to a secularist one world religion, we see that most Christians in America have not read their Bible. More than one organization did this research with similar outcome, and you can look those up if you have a mind to find the truth.
"Rick Warren spoke on the "Biblical Meaning of Marriage" Tuesday at the Vatican, where he is among 30 global religious leaders examining the changing roles of marriage and family in the world.
Warren joined leaders from 23 countries and 14 religions invited by Pope Francis on at the kickoff Monday to The Complementarity of Man and Woman: An International Colloquium.
~when I see American politicians of all ranks praising Islam as the religion of peace, and Christianity as a religion of hate, I know that the prophetic time when good will be believed to be bad, and bad will be believed to be good is upon us.
When I see all of this (and more), I believe the trend towards a secular one world religion is looming on the horizon. If someone had told me even ten years ago that I would be witnessing the persecution of Christians around the world, even in America, I flat out would not have believed them.
