Dr. Benjamin Wiker is a Senior Fellow at the Discovery Institute and the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology. He's the Author of "Worshipping the State: How Liberalism Became Our State Religion."

Dr. Wiker believes we are creeping towards worship of the state. He explains why lliberals aren't more critical of Islam and why they hate Christianity. The very liberal Obama Administration apparently ignored the explicit, written warnings in 2012 from a Saudi Arabian official about the soon-enough-to-be Boston bomber, Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

Vassula Ryden is the Founder of True Life in God and author of, "Heaven is Real, But So is Hell: An Eyewitness Account of What is to Come." She has experienced "interiorvisions" of heaven and the future. She has spoken to supernatural forces and explains what's in store for us. She also explains what God, Heaven, and Hell are like. 

Some gloomers think these may be the last days. Vassula tells us what we can expect... and how we can prepare for the future.

Ryden has received messages about the future, "The Day of the Lord," and has even had premonitions about events such as September 11, 2001; the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004; and the fall of Communism in the former Soviet Union. Still it is not a message of doom, which Ryden believes she is to share, but one of redemption, reconciliation and love. Ryden's specific call from Christ is to help unite the divided branches of the Christian church according to His guidance.

Ryden was born in 1942 to Greek parents and grew up in Egypt until her teen years, when her family moved to Switzerland due to war and unrest. She now resides in Greece with her husband, but has lived throughout the world due to her husband's consulting work with the government, including countries in Africa and in Southeast Asia. Ryden has two sons.
