THE FUTURE I SEE

You may not understand this but I am prepared to jump up and down and shout Glory Hallelujah, if I am wrong on some points.

David A. Rice

DISCLAIMER:

I learn from books. Books shape the way I think and the way I see the world. All the information I present here has come from books. There have been entire books written to prove the points I may make here with a single sentence. There have been books written to debunk the books from which I take my points. As a matter of fact, there have been books written to disprove the Bible and the Resurrection.

You can find a book that will “prove” anything you want to believe. What I believe is centered on the Bible and informed by a thousand books. I have never read a book, outside of the Bible, where I agreed with everything the author wrote. That does not happen. I believe nothing simply because someone said so. What I believe, I have processed through my brain and found to be logical and in line with the Word of God. A thousand books have informed my thoughts but my thoughts are my own and I alone am responsible for them.

This is what I see. I expect you to argue with me. You are not me. These are my thoughts, not yours. In many cases, I hope and pray that I am wrong and others are right. You may not understand this but I am prepared to jump up and down and shout Glory Hallelujah, if I am wrong on some points. Nonetheless, this is what I believe.

BACKGROUND:

There are two sides to everything. I believe that. I have read books that compare the United States with ancient Israel and predict our downfall because we have violated the oaths our Forefathers made in a little church at Ground Zero. I believe that is correct. I have read books that present strong and overwhelming evidence that our nation is the Babylon of End-Time Prophecy and that we will be destroyed for our evil. I agree with that. Some would argue that the two are mutually exclusive and that one has to be right and the other wrong. I don’t see it that way; I see them as complementary truths.

Did George Washington and members of Congress go into that church at what is now known as Ground Zero? Yes, history tells us that. Did they there make strong and binding oaths to Jehovah God? Yes, we have the transcripts of those vows. Did God take those oaths seriously? Of course, He did. Is it symbolic that the explosions of 9/11 destroyed everything around it but left that church standing? Of that I have no doubt. Are we like Israel? We are the only nation, outside of Israel, in all of history, to be dedicated to the God of Heaven, with solemn oaths, on the day of our founding. Will the breaking of those vows bring judgment? Absolutely.

There are a number of scholarly books that make a strong case that we are the Babylon of Revelation. I believe that.  These books point out many indisputable proofs that no other nation on earth could possibly fit the biblical descriptions of the daughter of Babylon and the Whore of Babylon. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, one should probably consider the evidence that it is a duck. We fit the description. They say that because of our great sin and because we have become the center of demonic evil over the whole world, the Judgment of a Holy God will soon fall on us. I find that logical and I believe it to be true.

Was George Washington a Christian? The strongest of evidence, including the testimony of at least two pastors would tell us that he was not. Why then did he make vows to the God of Heaven on the day of our nation’s founding? Because ninety percent of the people were Christian and the Church of Jesus Christ held tremendous power, spiritually, culturally and politically. The General was forced to play the game. He, therefore, in the name of the people of the United States, made the most solemn vows to the God of Heaven, promising that the people of the nation would always walk in obedience to God Almighty and conduct their affairs according to the Word of God. He went so far as to call down the judgment of God on the Nation should its people ever abandon their God. As the leader of a Christian People, the vows of their leader, no matter how pagan the man, were accepted by God. The judgment of God, called down on our heads by our first President, are already falling; one by one, by one.

At the same time, George Washington was a Mason. The god of masonry is Apollo, not Jehovah. His own Pastor said that the General was a deist and not a Christian. Jefferson cut and pasted his own Bible to make the Word of God conform to what he thought was right. That cut and pasted Bible is on display at Mount Vernon and copies may be purchased through Amazon dot Com. Ben Franklin was a member of the worst and most depraved secret societies in the world, in the US, in Britain and in France. He was the first publisher of pornography in the New World. Anyone who says that these men were Christian is a liar and the truth is not in them.

Our Government was founded by evil men, based on ancient Egyptian magic and Masonic principles. The noble sounding words found in the Declaration of Independence, come not from the Bible, but from Plato’s Republic and a Novel by Sir Francis Bacon, called THE NEW ATLANTIS. The whole idea of exactly thirteen independent colonies coming together as one, is straight out of Egyptian Magic and the religion of Osiris. The Government of the United States has always been pagan and evil. The goal of this nation was, from the very beginning, to undo Babel and form a foundation for a New World Order that would unite the whole world under a single government, with a single language and a single, very pagan, religion.

So, our nation consisted of a Christian people, ruled by a pagan government, forced to speak always as if it were Christian and sell a Luciferian idea as if it were from the God of the Christians. We were blessed and evil was contained and controlled because of the Church of Jesus Christ and the power of a Christian People. The games played by the Government were steeped in deceit. Master Masons rose through the ranks in every church and denomination. They convinced Christians that theirs was a Christian Nation and that God was Blessing because the Government was from God. That was a lie but the Church and the people bought it, hook, line and sinker. All but one of our Presidents was related to King John of England. They were family. This was an oligarchy. We voted, as if it were a democracy but the only candidates, at the Federal Level, were all in the family. We got to vote for Cousin Fred against Cousin Sam but it did not ever make any difference.

Today, the Church, for all intents and purposes, is dead. Christians hold no real power, culturally, politically or spiritually. The Government has come out of the closet. The evil that was for so long confined to back rooms and Masonic Temples, is out in the open for all to see. We are no longer a Christian People, governed by a pagan government, we are a pagan people ruled by a pagan government. Our connection to Israel is shattered. Our vows are broken. If we ever had a connection to the God of Heaven, that connection is long gone. Once, we were the People of God, ruled by the Government of Babylon. Today we are a Babylonian people, governed by the Government of Babylon.

We are now set up for a double Judgment. We have, as a people, violated the vows our first President made, in our name, to a Holy and Righteous God. We will be judged for exactly the same reason the Israel of God was judged and taken into captivity in Babylon. We are also facing Judgment based on the actions of our Government, taken now, in conjunction with her people. All of the judgment that the Bible promises against Babylon is about to fall on our head.

THE FUTURE:

I believe that Europe and the Orient are going to continue to weaken. I believe that Donald Trump is going to live up to his name and become, in real power if not in name, the ruler of the world. I believe that the United States is going to become greater and more powerful than she has ever been. We are going to become so much like Babylon that the strongest critics of America as Babylon will no longer be able to deny the fact. We will rule the world.

I believe that the wimpy, politically correct American is about to go the way of the dinosaur and the Dodo bird. We are going to become militaristic and strong. We will again have the highest standard of living in the world. The New World Order will find its very first capitol in Washington D.C. The Unification of the world will start here.

I believe that there will be a war. The goal of this war will be to kill two thirds of the world’s population. In a short time, perhaps as little as seven months, one out of every three people in the world will die. Much of the world will be left as a nuclear wasteland. The United States will be destroyed in a single hour. We will be so radioactive that the nations of the world will stand off in fear… they will never set foot on American soil.

I believe that Islam will be destroyed in the same war. Mecca will be a nuclear wasteland. Muslims, worldwide, will be begging to join the Pope’s new religion. Most of the world’s population will join them. This will include most of the world’s Christians. Those who hold out will be slaughtered.  Even Obama, should he survive, will join the Pope’s religion. Donald Trump, should he survive, will join in enthusiastically.

It will be about this time that the Alien Disclosure will take place. They will show up to “save us from ourselves.” This will be when the Angel with the key to the bottomless pit arrives and Apollyon and his demons escape. Nimrod, in one way or another, will again rule the world. A treaty will be made with Israel (before or after the war?) The Dome of the Rock will be destroyed and the Temple will be constructed. Three and a half years later, the Man of Sin will sit in that Temple, “as if he were God, proclaiming himself to be God.”

I believe that Obama was sent, like John the Baptist, to make way for Donald Trump. I believe that he may return, on the world stage… not as President but perhaps as Secretary General of the United Nations. Perhaps he has done his job and will disappear into the sunset but I don’t really believe that.

Donald Trump is the Last King of Babylon. Perhaps the Occultic Rabbis are right. It is possible that it will be he who makes the treaty with Israel and makes possible the building of the Temple. If so, you may expect to see him sitting in the Temple, as if he were God, proclaiming himself to be God… At the very least, he will lead the United States into a nuclear finale…

It has been the plan, since before 1776, that the United States would form the basis of the New World Order. It has always been the plan that we would one day burn and that, out of the ashes, like a phoenix, the New World Order would rise. That is Lucifer’s plan. I believe that the Bible tells us that he will succeed. Our demise will come as a result of our sin. God, in judgment, will remove his hand of protection and allow Satan, whose plan includes our demise, to destroy us. Our death, as a nation, will be, at one and the same time, the Judgment of a Holy God against a wicked and unrepentant people, and the fulfillment of a Satanic plan. Both will occur in a single hour.

The order of some of these things is still unclear to me but this is what I would think likely:

  1. Europe and the Orient weaken
  2. The United States becomes more powerful than ever
  3. America becomes “Great Again.”
  4. Trump wins at everything, here and abroad.
  5. The Jews in Israel call him Messiah.
  6. The Dominionists call him Messiah.
  7. Trump makes a treaty with Israel.
  8. War breaks out on a worldwide basis.
  9. “Aliens” (Demons) show up, introduced by Pope Francis, to “save us from ourselves
  10. Islam suffers a great defeat.
  11. Antichrist (Israel’s Messiah a. is assassinated.
  12. Israel’s Messiah b. raises him from the dead. (His body is animated and incarnated by Apollo / Osiris / Nimrod, the son of Satan.)
  13. Construction on the Temple Starts.
  14. The United States (Babylon) is destroyed in a single hour.
  15. Antichrist and False Prophet move to Jerusalem.
  16. Antichrist sits in Temple, as if he were God, proclaiming himself to be God.
  17. The False Prophet demands that the whole world worship the Beast…
  18. The Saints are defeated.
  19. Two Prophets Prophecy.
  20. Jewish Evangelists flood the world.
  21. The Wrath of God is poured out on the whole world.
  22. Jesus comes back.

That list is incomplete and it could be very wrong. Please pray about these things and ask God to open your eyes and give you wisdom…

WHEN THE BROOK DRIES UP

“It happened after a while that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.”

In the 17th Chapter of 1 Kings, we find an incredible story. Elijah goes before King Ahab and makes an absurd claim: “As the Lord, the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, surely there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word.” You do not make such a claim unless you know that you have heard from God. Ahab must have laughed. If the King had believed the Prophet, he might have had him killed or imprisoned and tortured, but he let him go.

Then, Elijah has a problem. If it does not rain in Israel, it does not rain on the Prophet. If there is a famine in Israel, Elijah has nothing to eat either. God, however had a plan and He told the Prophet, “Go away from here and turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan. It shall be that you will drink of the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to provide for you there.” That sounds as improbable as saying that it will not rain again until I say so.

Elijah, however was obedient and went where he was told. We read, “So he went and did according to the word of the Lord, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan. The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he would drink from the brook.” That is a comfortable position. The nation is in a famine but the Prophet has bread and meat and a supply of water… This is supernatural! One might live out their life in such a situation. But, on this earth, nothing lasts forever.

We soon read, “It happened after a while that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.” Panic Time! God has ceased to supply. The Prophet is where God told him to be, doing what God told him to do. He is comfortable and cared for… This is the life! Then, suddenly and without warning, the Prophet has a real problem. Without water, the Prophet will die and God has turned off the water. Can you hear the Prophet crying and fussing as he goes out to eat breakfast and finds that there is not even enough water to fill his cup?

I can picture myself in such a situation. I don’t know if I would be mad at God or just scared. There is no water here and there is no water in most of the nation… What do I do now? I have been there. I have been very comfortable, knowing that I was where God wanted me to be, assured that I was doing what God wanted me to do, blessed and provided for by the hand of God, when, without warning, the job and the income stopped. That is a frightening place to be. What happened? What did I do wrong? Why is this happening to me? Doesn’t God care?

Have you ever been there?

The fact that I am writing this and you are reading it is proof that such situations, while very uncomfortable, are neither permanent nor deadly. I will be honest with you though, those situations are very, very uncomfortable. Perhaps you are there now. If you aren’t, the greatest possibility is that you will be soon. When the Brook dries up, it is not time to scream or fuss, it is time to move on and to move up.

1 Kings 17:1 Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, 9 “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there; behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.” 10 So he arose and went to Zarephath, and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks; and he called to her and said, “Please get me a little water in a jar, that I may drink.” 11 As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand.” 12 But she said, “As the Lord your God lives, I have no [e]bread, only a handful of flour in the bowl and a little oil in the jar; and behold, I am gathering a few sticks that I may go in and prepare for me and my son, that we may eat it and die.” 13 Then Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go, do as you have said, but make me a little bread cake from it first and bring it out to me, and afterward you may make one for yourself and for your son. 14 For thus says the Lord God of Israel, ‘The bowl of flour shall not be exhausted, nor shall the jar of oil be empty, until the day that the Lord sends rain on the face of the earth.’” 15 So she went and did according to the word of Elijah, and she and he and her household ate for many days. 16 The bowl of flour was not exhausted nor did the jar of oil become empty, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke through Elijah.

When the Brook dried up, the Prophet got up and moved. God told him where to go and what to do. God not only told him what to say to the lady but He gave this poor widow lady the faith to believe what this stranger said, and the good will to serve the Prophet ahead of herself and her son. Now, the Lord has elevated the prophet’s situation. Elijah is no longer living in a cave, he is living in a house. No longer is he eating what birds drop for him, he is eating bread, fresh out of the oven. No longer is God taking care of just the Prophet, He is taking care of the Widow woman and her son as well.

When your Well dries up, don’t panic. Continue to be grateful. Continue to praise God but don’t just sit there. Ask God for directions. Listen carefully and then do what God tells you to do. God may now promote you. The God who has been taking care of you, may now decide to use you to take care of others. God may ask you to challenge others with impossible requests. If God tells you to ask a widow woman for her last piece of bread; ask her for her last piece of bread. If God tells you to promise that He will care for her and continue to provide, tell her so.

That of course, will not be your exact situation. However, you will be challenged to do the unlikely and the uncomfortable.

Sometimes we forget that Elijah and others in the Bible were human.

Please don’t think that it did not cross Elijah’s mind that it might rain the day after he spoke to Ahab or that the Widow might starve to death after baking him a cake. Elijah was a prophet. Elijah was obedient but he was also human, just like you are.

If you don’t believe me that he and the other prophets were human, let me close with one more story…

We should go on to the 18th chapter of 1 Kings. There we find a familiar story. Elijah prays and the rains return, then he challenges the prophets of Baal to a test. One prophet of God against 400 prophets of Baal. They build altars, slaughter bulls and put them on the altars. Elijah tells the prophets of Baal to pray for fire to come down from Heaven and consume their offering.

This should have been easy. Baal was the god of rain and thunder and lightning… this was Baal’s bread and butter. They prayed and cut themselves (like Muslims do today) but nothing happened.

Elijah encouraged them to continue, suggesting that Baal had stepped out to go to the bathroom.

They continued for hours but nothing happened. Then Elijah had them pour water all over his offering. When Elijah prayed, fire fell, consumed the sacrifice, lapped up the water and even destroyed the stones of the altar….

The people then got together and killed all 400 prophets of Baal. Not a good day for the pagans…

But then… we get to chapter 19…

 19:1 Now Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. 2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So may the gods do to me and even more, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.”

3 >>>And he was afraid and arose and ran for his life<<<

and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there. 4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree; and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, “It is enough; now, O Lord, take my life, for I am not better than my fathers.”

After all of those miracles, Elijah was afraid of a demonized, pagan woman…

Have you been there?

God came to Elijah and the Angel cared for him there. This was not the end of his ministry. I share this with you because such times and situations are common to all God’s people. When the Brook dries up, get up and move. Face the enemy and challenge the righteous. Listen to God and do what He tells you to do. Are you afraid? So was the Prophet of God. Have you run for your life? So did God’s Prophet. These times of pain are not the end… as a matter of fact, it is most likely a promotion in disguise.

Get up, wash your face and get moving. God is on your side.

David…

 

 

HAPPY PREACHERS, OFFERING PLATES, AND HELL BOUND MEMBERS

If you teach a man to praise God but never speak of the gravity of sin and the need for repentance, you create a strange being who will praise a God he does not know, pay his tithes, make big offerings and go to Hell when he dies.

How many faithful church members will spend an eternity in Hell, right beside a Pastor who based the subject of every sermon on its effect on tithes, offerings and church attendance? How many human beings have been damned to a Devil’s Hell by the purveyors of Church Growth Seminars?

That which will grow a church will often damn its members.

A “Good Preacher” today, can start with 12 members and grow a church of 5,000.

Jesus started with 5,000 and ended up with 12.

I am convinced that there are churches with 5,000 members where less than 12 will make it to Heaven.

God is Love but God hates. To preach the love of God but never mention the Wrath of God is to condemn real men and women to eternal punishment.

We preach acceptance and tolerance, we would never offend. Jesus called the Governor a fox, a lady asking for his help a dog, and the most righteous men of his day, “Whitewashed Tombs, full of dead men’s bones” and children of the Devil.

Scripture talks about “speaking the truth in love.” We interpret that, “Never speak the truth if it might offend.”

John 3:16 speaks of God’s love. John 3:18 speaks of condemnation. A sinner who understands John 3:18 will be desperate to find salvation in Christ. A sinner with no understanding of John 3:18 will think of John 3:16 as a “nice thought” but hardly necessary.

If you teach a man to praise God but never speak of the gravity of sin and the need for repentance, you create a strange being who will praise a God he does not know, pay his tithes, make big offerings and go to Hell when he dies.

The same God who said that He will bless you coming in and going out said that if you disobey him, He will curse you and everything you lay your hands on. No, that blessing is not based on your tithes and offerings, it is based on obedience, repentance, salvation and the Spirit of God. You can make huge offerings but insist that that which God calls sin is not really sin, continue in a sinful lifestyle and bust Hell wide open when you die.

No, I am not speaking of Judaistic Legalism. I am speaking of agreeing with God that what He calls sin is really sin, asking forgiveness when you fall and accepting God’s help in overcoming. I am talking about taking up your cross and following Jesus. I am talking about fixing your eyes on the Author and Finisher of our faith. I am talking about doing what He does and not doing what He does not and would not do. I am talking about a very real relationship with a Living God.

It is better to end up with twelve members who are all going to Heaven than 5,000 members who are all going to Hell. It is better to work a secular Job in order to eat and take people to Heaven than to live luxuriously off of tithes and offerings and take people to Hell.

Call Sin, sin and evil, evil, but don’t get hung up with a single sin. If you spend more time condemning homosexuality than you spend condemning gossip, you are out of balance and in danger of falling. Is the homosexual act a sin? Yes, of course but a Gossip in your church will do more damage than ten thousand homosexuals on the street.

If you are willing to offend, if you are willing to call sin, sin, if you will preach the Wrath of God, you will find that those you preach to feel the need for a Savior and come willingly to Jesus. If you refuse to preach the whole Gospel and preach only messages that will fill the pews and the offering plates, you will end up with a church full of very happy, Hell bound sinners…

NEPHILIM, ALIENS, 2012, POPES, ANTICHRISTS, TRIBULATIONS, AND THE END OF THE WORLD; A LIST:

One Hundred Sixty things to study, think and pray about…

1.    I like the “Big Picture.”

  1. Lists of things give me the ability to skim over that which I think I know and that which does not interest me but they spark interest in other areas and prompt me to do my homework and sometimes, serious research. This is such a list. No list can be comprehensive. Feel free to add to this list in the comment section. The purpose of this list is to help you see the Big Picture…

3.   2012

  1. There were some who talked about the world ending in 2012. That was foolishness. Others set dates for the Rapture in that year, something Scripture would strongly advise against. I have come to strongly question the doctrine of the Rapture. I personally believe that God goes through the Great Tribulation with His Saints and that the Day of the Lord and the Rapture are one and the same. I will not argue that here and you are welcome to your personal belief. If there is a Rapture, I am going. The point is that I never believed that the world would end in 2012 nor did I believe the Rapture would occur in that year. Nonetheless, I believed that something would happen that year… something ominous and foreboding. Why did I believe that? Did anything happen in 2012 that changed the world?
  2. Personally, I believe that we crossed the point of no return in 2012. The United States must be viewed as a part of the world and not an island unto itself. It must also be viewed through the lens of Scripture and biblical prophecy. As I examine our current situation and the global situation from that point of view, it seems quite obvious that the end of all things is at hand.
  3. We have a major convergence:
  4. The righteous judgment of an angry God is about to fall on an ungodly and wicked nation.
  5. The New World Order, aka the Kingdom of the Antichrist is rising.
  6. The judgment against the United States will take her out of the picture in world affairs.
  7. The judgment is well deserved and righteous altogether.
  8. The collapse of the United States and Western Civilization is necessary for the rise of the New World Order. There cannot be a One World Government until all the nations of the world, including the United States, become so desperate that they are willing to lower their national flag and raise the flag of the New Order.
  9. That point is approaching rapidly. This is biblical prophecy; God tells us it will happen. These events are absolutely in line with unchangeable signs in the Heavens. It is time. We need to be right with God. The only safe place is where God wants you to be. The only reasonable thing to do is to do exactly what God wants you to do. The Question we must each ask is, “Am I close enough to God to know where He wants me to be and what He wants me to do?”
  10. God works on a different calendar. December 21st 2012 fell on 8 Tevet 5773. The year 5773 started on 1 Tishri or September 17 2012 and ended on 29 Elul or September 4 2013. Let us use that Jewish year for the purposes of our discussion.
  11. The Zohar, written by Jews 700 years ago, claimed that in the Jewish year 5773, God would rain Fire and Hail on Rome and the Antichrist would be revealed.
  12. The Mayan Calendar ended in the Year 5773 with the return of their “Flying Dragon” god, Kulkulkan.
  13. The Aztec Calendar ended in the year 5773 with the return of their “Flying Dragon” god, Quetzalcoatl.
  14. The Cherokee Indian Calendar ended in 5773 with the return of their “Flying Rattlesnake” god.
  15. The Hindu Kali Yuga Calendar ended in 5773 at the end of the age of the “Male Demon”.
  16. Using math and Astronomy far above my head David Flynn, in his scholarly work CYDONIA, claimed that the Platonic year changed on 8 Tevet 5773 and we, measured by astronomy and not astrology, entered the Age of Aquarius on that day.
  17. Jonathan Edwards tied, the arrival of the Antichrist and the Great Tribulation to 2012 (or 5773)
  18. In 1878, Rev. William J. Reid wrote, “…we are prepared to answer the question, When will the Papal system come to an end? …in the year 2012.” (5773) (Lectures on the revelation. Author: Reid, William J. page 306)
  19. The thousand-year-old Prophecy of St. Malachy predicted that Pope Francis would be the “Last Pope” a man who will usher in the Tribulation and whose reign will end with the coming of the “Terrible Judge”.

TRUMP AS ANTICHRIST AND POPE FRANCIS AS FALSE PROPHET

Two days after Trump lays hands on a crystal ball with King Salman of Saudi Arabia, on the 22nd day of the month, a 22-year-old boy, bearing the name of the Saudi King, Salman, blows himself up and kills 22 people. Despite the fierceness of the blast, just like 9/11, the bombers ID somehow survives… The next day Trump is playing Jew at the Western wall, and the day after that, Trump meets Pope Francis.

Somehow, I smell burning Sulphur.

Let’s talk about Pope Francis:

I believe that the change of the ages happened the end of 2012 and the Tribulation period probably started in September of 2015. They are in full swing now and evil will increase exponentially…

Somehow, Pope Francis and the Vatican are at the center of all this. I know what has been said about an Islamic Antichrist but Rome is the oldest and best established Antichrist system in the world and Islam is the bastard child of Rome.

Two time periods have been of great interest to the whole world, December of 2012 and September of 2015. Everyone had a theory of what would happen during those two time periods. Almost none of those visions came true at the appointed times. Two events that snuck under the radar, for the most part, really happened and they are tied together with an unbreakable bond. These actual events, one tied to December 2012 and the other to September of 2015, should really grab your attention.

First, let us review why the whole world was looking at these dates.

DECEMBER 2012:

God works on a different calendar. December 21st, 2012 fell on 8 Tevet 5773. The year 5773 started on 1 Tishri or September 17, 2012 and ended on 29 Elul or September 4 2013. Let us use that Jewish year for the purposes of our discussion.

  • The Zohar, written by Jews 700 years ago, claimed that in the Jewish year 5773, God would rain Fire and Hail on Rome and the Antichrist would be revealed.
  • The Mayan Calendar ended in the Year 5773 with the return of their “Flying Dragon” god, Kulkulkan.
  • The Aztec Calendar ended in the year 5773 with the return of their “Flying Dragon” god, Quetzalcoatl.
  • The Cherokee Indian Calendar ended in 5773 with the return of their “Flying Rattlesnake” god.
  • The Hindu Kali Yuga Calendar ended in 5773 at the end of the age of the “Male Demon”.
  • Using math and Astronomy far above my head David Flynn, in his scholarly work CYDONIA, claimed that the Platonic year changed on 8 Tevet 5773 and we, measured by astronomy and not astrology, entered the Age of Aquarius on that day.
  • Jonathan Edwards tied, the arrival of the Antichrist and the Great Tribulation to 2012 (or 5773)
  • In 1878, Rev. William J. Reid wrote, “…we are prepared to answer the question, When will the Papal system come to an end? …in the year 2012.” (5773) (Lectures on the revelation. Author: Reid, William J. page 306)
  • The thousand-year-old Prophecy of St. Malachy predicted that Pope Francis would be the “Last Pope” a man who will usher in the Tribulation and whose reign will end with the coming of the “Terrible Judge”.

So, what happened in that time period?

We know that right before Christmas, in the same time frame as the December 21st, 2012 end of the Mayan Calendar; there was a terrible Coup in the Vatican that forced the resignation of Benedict XVI. While the resignation was not announced until February of 2013 and did not take effect until the end of that month, the deed was done in the year 5773.

The “Last Pope” was installed on Tuesday, March 26, 2013, In the Jewish Year, 5773.

SEPTEMBER 2015

All eyes were on September of 2015 because of the end of the Shemitah and the four Blood Moons. That was more recent and I do not think it necessary to go into detail. I am sure that you remember all the hype. We are still under the effects of the Shemitah and the current Market Woes and economic downturn are undeniably tied to the end of the Shemitah. Nothing earth shattering happened on that particular day however, as many had expected. The night of the last Blood Moon, many were expecting something to happen that would shake the world. When nothing of that magnitude happened, many were disappointed.

So, did nothing happen at that time? No, something very prophetic happened. It was quiet. Many Christians picked up on it at the instant it happened but most never saw it at all.

Jesus, in John 5:43, said, “I have come in My Father’s name, yet you don’t accept Me. If someone else comes IN HIS OWN NAME, you will accept him.”

“IN HIS OWN NAME”

On September 28th, 2015, the largest group of Heads of State, ever assembled together in one place, in the history of the world, was at the United Nations in New York.

Pope Francis stood before that group and the world. In his opening remarks, the Pontiff said, “Thank you for your kind words. Once again, following a tradition by which I feel honored, the Secretary General of the United Nations has invited the Pope to address this distinguished assembly of nations. IN MY OWN NAME…”

“IN MY OWN NAME…”

Who is it who has rejected the Christian façade of Catholicism and returned to its pagan roots?

Who is it that seeks to cause all religions to reject the doctrines that divide them?

Who is it who seeks to unite the whole world under the pagan religion of Sumer, Babylon, Egypt and Rome?

POPE FRANCIS!

2 Thessalonians 2

The Man of Lawlessness

1 Now concerning the

COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST and OUR BEING GATHERED TO HIM:

We ask you, brothers, 2 not to be easily upset in mind or troubled, either by a spirit or by a message or by a letter as if from us, alleging that the Day of the Lord has come.

3 DON’T LET ANYONE DECEIVE YOU in any way.

For THAT DAY WILL NOT COME UNLESS

THE APOSTASY COMES FIRST and

THE MAN OF LAWLESSNESS IS REVEALED,

the son of destruction. 4 He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits in God’s sanctuary, publicizing that he himself is God.

CONCERNING:

  • THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
  • OUR BEING GATHERED TO HIM

DON’T LET ANYONE DECEIVE YOU

THAT DAY WILL NOT COME UNLESS

THE APOSTASY COMES FIRST

THE MAN OF LAWLESSNESS IS REVEALED

THE APOSTASY IS ALL AROUND US. If you are saved, you cannot help but see it.

THE FALSE PROPHET WAS REVELED on September 28, 2015 at the United Nations.

The Beast is yet to come… Nimrod will rise. Could that be Trump?

UNDERSTANDING THE RELIGION OF POPE FRANCIS AND DONALD TRUMP

With Pope Francis making statements that shock most Catholics and appall Protestants and Evangelicals, many are confused. How could a Christian say that the Biblical account of creation is a lie, that evolution is correct and that the Creator God is not all powerful and was not capable of creating a fully functioning universe? Yet the Pope has said all those things. The truth is that the Pope is not a Christian and has never been a Christian. This article will explain the religion that Pope Francis shares with the world’s most powerful and influential people.

In his book, THE LABYRINTH, Mark Flynn writes:

“There is a religious institution whose members are the most devout and serious of any faith on earth. Those who are a part of this institution unquestionably believe in a god that directs their activities and they look to this deity with the ultimate hope of gaining his favor. They, unlike many of the people ascribed to the popular religions of today, have no doubt that their god lives and interacts with them. They see the favor their god bestows upon them. The riches and power gained through their piety actively demonstrates the reality of their god’s existence. The precepts of their secretive religion are contra to that of the Judeo-Christian religion that values above all, love for their fellow man. They consider the people outside of their group inferior creatures, unworthy of their god, but necessary for manipulation towards the completion of their final objective. Through devotion, submission to the will of their god, and dedication to his secretive plan, they believe that they will achieve immortality and live in a coming golden age where their god will appear on earth and rule them in a new paradise of his design.”1

The “Gospel” of the Illuminati is the ancient GNOSTIC Mysticism. The real Gospel is Good News… the Gnostic story, not so much… this is from a Gnostic site.

“Adam and Eve

“Just as Adam and Eve are regarded as central characters in the Christian creation myth, they are equally as important in that of the Gnostics. As mentioned in previous articles, the creation of the world according to Gnostic tradition is an account of the world created not by the True God, but by a false god. As Adam and Eve were created and placed in the Garden of Eden in Genesis, the same has been done in Gnostic scripture.

“However, the demiurge is responsible for the placement of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The demiurge has created the fleshly bodies to entrap the spirits of Adam and Eve. Adam is placed under a spell of ignorance and put to sleep by the false god. Eve is placed next to him, and she commands Adam to awaken. When Adam sees Eve, he believes that she is his creator.

“The demiurge wanted to keep Adam and Eve ignorant; forever worshiping him. The Gnostics believe that the demiurge was posing as the false god, thus keeping Adam and Eve under his spell of ignorance. As long as Adam and Eve believed that he was the only god, they would worship him forever.

“The serpent is regarded as an evil figure in traditional Christian stories, but to the Gnostics, the serpent is the hero! The Gnostic text teaches that as the demiurge tells Adam and Eve that they may help themselves to anything the Garden, they are to stay away from the Tree of Knowledge. As Adam and Eve listen to the serpent, their eyes are opened, and the spell of ignorance is broken forever. Because they chose to listen to the serpent, Adam and Eve no longer worship the demiurge, but recognize that there is the True God, and he was not the creator of the evil, imperfect, material world.

“Adam and Eve gave birth to two children, Seth and Norea. The descendants of Seth regard themselves as Sethians, those that have been blessed with the gnosis.”2

Eve, according to the satanic version, became a completely new creature after she ate the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of good and evil. Because she recreated herself by an act of her own will, she is seen as virgin born. All of the ancient goddesses and the Catholic, Mary the Mother of God, are virgin born. They represent the self-created Eve. There is always a serpent god who represents Lucifer, unfairly judged and punished… once beautiful, now damaged goods. There is always a bull or a cow god who represents Jehovah. The serpent god, in every ancient pagan religion, kills the bull or the cow. Adam is strangely missing except as represented in the common man. The unholy trinity is a self-created goddess, a serpent god and a bull… all of mythology, renaming the characters a thousand times, revolves around these three.

The symbolism is everywhere. The Mary of Catholicism who is highly esteemed by Muslims, mentioned in the Koran more than thirty times and the only woman mentioned in the Koran, is the pagan representation of the self-created (virgin born) Eve in her fallen state. She was known as Isis who impregnated herself with a prosthetic phallus that she herself made for her brother/husband Osiris, giving birth to the god Horus. She was worshiped in ancient days as the Queen of Heaven and the Mother of God. She is mentioned in Jeremiah 44.  Then, look at a bullfight in Spain or Mexico. The brightly clothed Matador (killer) represents Lucifer. The bull represents the much larger, bully God who tried to keep Adam and Eve as ignorant slaves and unfairly judged Lucifer. The much smaller, Lucifer is smarter and through superior knowledge and cunning, kills the bull. The snake always wins in the end.

All of the ancient, pagan religions and the Gnostic or secret knowledge of the secret societies… including Freemasonry hold that Apollo / Nimrod is going to return and rule the earth in a New World Order. Scripture supports that idea and the idea that the Nephilim return. Something supernatural is about to happen. This is the religion of the Illuminati.

Did you know that this is the Gnostic, secret knowledge of the Master Mason? This is the belief system that led Joseph Smith to found the Mormon Church and this is the religious system behind Jehovah’s Witnesses. This is the foundation behind the Satanist churches and most major cults. This is the base doctrine of the Church of Rome and the founding belief behind Islam. This is the central foundation of all the ancient pagan religions. This teaching drove the first organized religion in Sumer, it is the foundation of Egyptian, Greek and Roman religious cults.

Masons below the thirtieth degree do not know this. Only the leadership in the Mormon Church is aware… the College of Cardinals and the Pope are certainly aware but your average Parish Priest hasn’t got a clue. Those in the Watchtower group in New York are fully aware but your average Jehovah’s Witnesses has no idea. This is a religion of the elite. This is knowledge reserved for the few… the select.  All of these groups are preparing the common man for the coming of a glorious New World Order led by a supernatural, messianic figure.

In these last days, Israel’s Kabalistic Rabbis are speaking of two Mashiachs, Mashiach Ben Yosef and Mashiach Ben David. Having never been able to reconcile the prophecies of a conquering Messiah with the prophecies of a suffering and dying Messiah, they have declared that there will be two messiahs, Ben David, the conquering Messiah and Ben Yosef, the suffering and dying Messiah. Of course, it would be difficult to reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ if they were to accept that one individual could fulfill both roles.

The prophetic Rabbis believe that both Messiahs are human and that having fulfilled their roles, they will die as all men die. They say that Mashiach Ben Yosef will die in the Battle with Magog but Mashiach Ben David will show up, kill the bad guys and raise Ben Yosef from the dead. Ben David will then go on to purify Jerusalem and Israel, rebuilding the Temple and restoring the sacrifice.

The strange thing is how closely that follows Christian eschatology which speaks of an Antichrist who dies and a False Prophet who raises him from the dead. One of the heads of the “Beast” has a fatal wound” which is healed. When the people see it, they will marvel.

Revelation 13:3 One of his heads appeared to be fatally wounded, but his fatal wound was healed. The whole earth was amazed and followed the beast.

The prophecies which spoke to the first coming of the Messiah were intentionally occluded by God. Even the Disciples who lived and walked with Jesus failed to understand. Even after the resurrection and having seen Jesus walk through walls, they did not understand. It was not until the Holy Spirit fell on them at Pentecost that their eyes were opened and they finally understood. Jesus said that those who are not born of the Spirit cannot even see the Kingdom of God. That holds true today as Jew and Gentile alike fail to understand the first coming of the Messiah.

Those prophecies were purposely made clear enough that, in hindsight, we could clearly see that they pointed to Jesus but not so clear that the powers and principalities could figure it out in advance and defeat God’s plan.

1 Corinthians 2:8 None of the rulers of this age knew this wisdom, for if they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

In a like manner, the prophecies concerning the end times, the tribulation, the Rapture of the Church and the Second coming are occluded or hidden. After the fact, we will look back, with 20/20 hindsight, and say, “Yes, of course, this is clearly what God has prophesied.” Looking into the future, it is not so clear and we argue over what we think that it means and what will happen. This is not to cause confusion in the Church, this is to keep the Devil and his minions from figuring it out and coming up with a battle plan to counter it. One thing we know for certain, times are going to get rough and we need to be right with God now.

Biblical ignorance is at an all-time high. People who think they are Christian worship a Jesus of their own imagination and will bust Hell wide open when they die. Their Jesus does not even vaguely resemble the Jesus of the Bible, although the demon they worship is glad to use his Name. Even among the saved, Biblical ignorance leaves most open to deception. The coming deception will be great and many who claim to follow Jesus will be deceived.

If we assume that the two Messiahs Israel is looking for are indeed the biblical Antichrist and False Prophet, we can easily see that the Antichrist will be Jewish, or at least successfully pretend to be Jewish. He will defeat the enemies of Israel in the Gog, Magog war. He will be a hero and all Israel will accept him as their Messiah. He will be a hero to the Dominionist and Seven Mountain Cults. Their Prophets will declare him as Messiah and follow the False Prophet in worshiping him. If you doubt me, remember Trump.

Exactly how or when this is going to happen is not for us to know. What we do know is that those who are deceived and do follow the Antichrist and the false prophet will pay for their mistake in the Lake of Fire, which is the second death.

If you expect the Antichrist to be evil, cool, and calculating, like the one in the movies, you will love the real Antichrist and follow after the False Prophet with all your heart. The Antichrist is going to look just like the Jesus those in the Emergent Church have imagined. The False Prophet is going to look like a Hyper-Grace version of Elijah… even calling down fire from Heaven.

The Antichrist will be a Military Hero. He will defeat Israel’s enemies and build the third Temple on the Temple Mount. He will slaughter Muslims by the millions and leave Mecca a nuclear wasteland. He will level the Dome of the Rock and bulldoze the Al-Aqsa Mosque off the side of the mountain. The Dominionist Cult will just know that they have found their Man! Antichrist will be everything the Hyper-Grace Gurus have always wanted Jesus to be, kind, forgiving and nonjudgmental. The only thing he will require is that you pledge your allegiance to him and take his mark.

Israel’s two Messiahs are at the door. There will be a death, a resurrection, and an incarnation. Fire will fall from Heaven. Miracles will abound…

The closer you are to the real Jesus, the Jesus of the Bible, and the more you know of God’s Word, the less likely you are to be deceived and the more likely you are to make Heaven your eternal home.

If you believed the Dominionist prophecies about Trump, you are really going to be impressed with the prophecies proclaiming Antichrist to be God’s only hope for the world and the False Prophet to be Elijah in the flesh…

Get in the Word and get right with God now. This very well could be your last chance to avoid deception and the Lake of Fire.

David…

Antichrist will be everything the Hyper-Grace Gurus have always wanted Jesus to be, kind, forgiving and nonjudgmental. The only thing he will require is that you pledge your allegiance to him and take his mark.

Israel’s two Messiahs are at the door. There will be a death, a resurrection, and an incarnation. Fire will fall from Heaven. Miracles will abound…

The closer you are to the real Jesus, the Jesus of the Bible, and the more you know of God’s Word, the less likely you are to be deceived and the more likely you are to make Heaven your eternal home.

If you believed the Dominionist prophecies about Trump, you are really going to be impressed with the prophecies proclaiming Antichrist to be God’s only hope for the world and the False Prophet to be Elijah in the flesh…

Get in the Word and get right with God now. This very well could be your last chance to avoid deception and the Lake of Fire…

THE SINLESS PERFECTION HERESY

Let us not continue to live a sinful lifestyle but let us not sin by pretending to be perfect.

I just ran into a couple of people, on Facebook, who are preaching the doctrine of Sinless Perfection and trying to tell people that they, themselves have attained to that state and no longer sin.

1 John 1: 10 If we say, “We don’t have any sin,” we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

If you view sinless perfection as a real and reachable goal, you will chase after it for the rest of your life and never attain to that goal. This will leave you frustrated and feeling condemned. This can lead to suicide or worse.

If you lie about it and pretend to others that you have attained to sinless perfection, God is not amused and Scripture says that you are calling God a liar. That is not a place that I would like to find myself, and I would strongly suggest that you do not go there.

Those who preach sinless perfection, pull a number of verses out of context and try to convince you that both Paul and Jesus have commanded you to be sinless. You can find verses that appear to say so. For instance:

Matthew 5:48 “Be Ye Perfect as your Father in Heaven is Perfect.”

However, as in every verse they pull out, they make gross errors in understanding the meaning of the text. In Greek, the word translated “perfect” is teleios. (a) complete in all its parts, (b) full grown, of full age, (c) specially of the completeness of Christian character.

Teleious is an adjective meaning, “consummated goal” – mature (consummated) from going through the necessary stages to reach the end-goal, i.e. developed into a consummating completion by fulfilling the necessary process (spiritual journey).

[This root (tel-) means “reaching the end (aim).” It is well-illustrated with the old pirate’s telescope, unfolding (extending out) one stage at a time to function at full-strength (capacity effectiveness).] It means “reaching the end (aim).”

There is nothing in the definitions of the word “teleios,” that could ever be construed to mean “sinless.”

Jesus told the woman caught in adultery to “Go and sin no more.” The sinless perfection doctrine would understand him to mean, “Go and be sinless.” That was not Jesus’ intention. Jesus was more than aware that she, an unsaved Jew, still under the Law, could not stop sinning altogether. What he was saying was that she should get out of that relationship and not live an adulterous lifestyle. She could not be sinless, but she very well could stop sleeping around with other women’s husbands.

Paul speaks of being “Dead to the Law.” In this sense, we are perfect. Dead men do not break the Law. It is true that when we are Born Again, our sins are washed away. God sees us through the Blood of Jesus and He sees us as the perfection or righteousness of God. We are sinless if we are in Christ. However, we live in a sinful, fallen body and in a sinful, fallen world. We are still subject to temptation and we still sin. This sin, messes with our relationship with Christ. We must repent. When we do, He forgives us and makes us right again.

Those who preach sinless perfection are divided into three groups:

  1. Those who believe in it but admit they have not yet attained to it.
  2. Those who lie about it (and call God a liar).
  3. Those who turn to Gnosticism for an answer.

Looking at them:

  1. The first group is frustrated, condemned and suicidal.
  2. The second group is going to Hell in a handbasket.
  3. The third group is, of all people, most to be pitied.

I will leave the first two groups lie. Let’s talk about the third group. This group will tell you not only that they believe in sinless perfection but that they are indeed, sinless. When you examine their lives, you find drunks, drug addicts, wife beaters and sodomites, all of whom are telling you that they are “sinless.”

“How can that be?” you ask. Good question.

Gnosticism is a deep subject and far too deep to cover here. Let us limit our conversation to the issue of how a rank, habitual, unrepentant sinner uses Gnosticism to proclaim himself “sinless.” Gnosticism predates Christianity but it infected Christianity from day one. Paul fought the Gnostics, day and night. The one Gnostic belief that applies here is this:

The Body and the Soul may be separated, one from the other. It is possible for a sinless soul to dwell in a sinful body.

In other words, through prayer and meditation I can develop a soul that is perfect before God. My body is getting drunk, whoring around, cheating on my wife and robbing my neighbor but my soul is sinless. My Body will die and go to the grave because it is evil. My soul will go to God because it is perfect.

There is a sense in which this is true. As a Christian, my body will die or, if Jesus comes first, it will be changed. My soul has been washed in the Blood and made perfect. Based, not on my own works but on the Grace of God, my soul will go to be with God. Later, my body will be resurrected, changed and reunited with my soul.

However, my soul and my body cannot be separated while I live. When my body sins, my soul sins. When my soul sins, my body follows. My soul is not, in fact, sinless in practice. If my body commits adultery, it is usually following my soul, where the act first took place. This calls for repentance.

I cannot live in sin and claim that I am sinless because only my body is sinning. This is foolishness of the first order.

Interestingly, the Bible speaks of three salvations:

  1. We have been saved.
  2. We are being saved.
  3. We shall be saved.

We were saved the day that we accepted Christ. By the Grace of God, we left the road to Hell and got on the path to Heaven.

We are now being saved. Salvation is a process. Being freed from sin and changed into the likeness of Christ is a lifelong process. We are born again as spiritual babies. After years of Prayer, Bible reading, Christian fellowship and discipleship, we find that we have grown and matured a lot. However, the closer we get to God, the brighter the light. The brighter the light, the easier it is to see our own sin and failings. Baby Christians compare themselves to other Christians and feel pretty good. Mature Christians compare themselves to Jesus Christ and see themselves as wretched sinners. This is why Paul wrote, at the very end of his ministry, that he was the “Chief of Sinners.” Paul was not comparing himself to other Christians but to Christ. In that light, the great Apostle could only see himself as a sinner, having never attained to the likeness of Christ.

On the day that we die, or on the day Christ returns, whichever comes first, we will be saved. We will, at long last, be freed from all sin and all temptation and we will in fact and practice, have become the righteousness of God.

John’s short thesis is an amazing piece of Scripture; he covers two heresies in one paragraph.

1 John 1:5 Now this is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you: God is light, and there is absolutely no darkness in Him. 6 If we say, “We have fellowship with Him,” yet we walk in darkness, we are lying and are not practicing the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say, “We have no sin,” we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say, “We don’t have any sin,” we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

A FAITH THAT DOES NOT CHANGE YOU, HAS NOT SAVED YOU!

Those who claim that Grace has given them a license to sin, are not saved. Period. When you are Born Again, you do not become perfect, but you do change directions. If you are a drunk, you may not stop drinking but you agree with God that drunkenness is a sin and you start the fight to free yourself from alcohol. You may still fall to temptation and get drunk when a friend stops by with a bottle, but you no longer hang out in bars five nights a week. If you fall and get drunk, you feel conviction, you know it was wrong, you ask God to forgive you and help you beat the temptation to get drunk. If you say you are saved but still get drunk five nights a week and you feel no remorse, no sorrow, no conviction and you go on your way, insisting that the Blood of Jesus has cleansed you from all sin, you are a liar, and the truth is not in you.

NEVER CALL GOD A LAR!

On the other hand, sin is a strange thing. There are things that I did without a thought when I was a baby Christian… things that I cannot do anymore. It is a strange thing, as a Christian, to wake up one day, under conviction that something you have done freely, as a Christian, for twenty years, is a sin. Sometimes, just when you are starting to feel really holy and righteous, God suddenly convicts you that something you thought was okay, is not okay with him. He let you do it while He was working on your grosser sins. Now that they are conquered, there are, you discover, some finer points that God wants to work on. Just when you think that you are about perfect, God stands you up next to Jesus and starts comparing the two of you. That is a very uncomfortable process.

Years ago, in an old fashioned, country Church of God, I ran into two very self-righteous old biddies who claimed to have attained to sinless perfection… They were “Totally Sanctified.” They wore clothes from head to toe. Only a little of their face showed. Even their hands were hidden in gloves. Their hair, never cut but very gray, was neatly stacked in a “Pentecostal Bun” and hidden under a scarf prayed for by Oral Roberts and never washed. Not a hint of makeup or jewelry could be seen and no perfume hid their body odor. The Black, King James Bibles they carried, seemed to weigh them down. They were, however, the meanest backbiters and the most terrible gossips I have ever met in my life. They would stand and pray things like, “Lord, please help Brother Smith who I saw coming out of a motel with a woman, last Thursday Afternoon…” Mean women… really mean, but “perfect,” as they would happily brag.

Let us not continue to live a sinful lifestyle but let us not sin by pretending to be perfect.

BLUE BLOOD

So, what does Moses have to do with Rothschild? I am glad you asked.

I believe in the supernatural. I am convinced that there were giants and that while they are no longer giants, a race of people has remained on earth that still has the remnants of angel DNA. These people are the elite and the super wealthy of the world…

Mayer Amschel Rothschild wrote of his efforts to strengthen the family bloodline. It is interesting to note that, of the 18 marriages made by his grandchildren 16 were between first cousins. Today, the world is run by seven extended families which always, and without fail, intermarry. This includes the families of every President of the United States. President Obama’s mother was in the family. She was a cousin of George Washington and George Bush. You cannot find an international banker or a CEO of a major international company who is not related to these families. The Presidents of every Ivy League University in the world, are related to these families. You cannot get away from them, they rule the world.

Mayor Rothschild was a Jew. Strange habit of European Royalty; every Monarch in Europe had a “Court Jew.” It was mandatory. This came from Daniel, who was a wise advisor to the King of Babylon. It followed, apparently, through every civilized nation that ever followed. Every King had to have a Jew to advise him on important decisions. These Jews became wealthy and powerful. Mayor Rothschild was a Court Jew who used his power to amass an untold fortune. That fortune now controls the world. The Rothschilds and their extended family, now hold controlling interest in the Central Banks in all but two or three nations in the world. They control the Fed in Washington DC and its counterparts in Beijing and Moscow.

Every President of the United States, save one, has been related to the British Monarchy and to each other. No one outside of the family has ever won the Presidency. Obama may look black but he is a cousin of Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. All of them are related to King John, the villain in the Robin Hood legend. It is a family affair.

The Rothschilds are the undisputed leaders of world government, but we really should, at this point, go back and talk about the family of Moses, the Bible hero and receiver of the Law. It is here that the truth will offend the would-be Jews who are among us… That, I cannot avoid. So, what does Moses have to do with Rothschild?  I am glad you asked.

Numbers 31: 7 They waged war against Midian, as the Lord had commanded Moses, and killed every male. 8 Along with the others slain by them, they killed the Midianite kings—Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword. 9 The Israelites took the Midianite women and their children captive, and they plundered all their cattle, flocks, and property. 10 Then they burned all the cities where the Midianites lived, as well as all their encampments, 11 and took away all the spoils of war and the captives, both man and beast. 12 They brought the prisoners, animals, and spoils of war to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the Israelite community at the camp on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.

13 Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the community went to meet them outside the camp. 14 But Moses became furious with the officers, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, who were returning from the military campaign. 15 “Have you let every female live?” he asked them. 16 “Yet they are the ones who, at Balaam’s advice, incited the Israelites to unfaithfulness against the Lord in the Peor incident, so that the plague came against the Lord’s community. 17 So now, kill all the male children and kill every woman who has had sexual relations with a man, 18 but keep alive for yourselves all the young females who have not had sexual relations.

Zipporah, the wife of Moses, was a Midianite, although Numbers 12:1 calls her “a Cushite woman”. Cush was the eldest son of Ham and Kush is a Hebrew word for African. More than the incident at Peor, the Midianites, as were the other tribes in the land, were of mixed blood, intermarried with the sons of the Nephilim and the Gibborum. There were giants among the people of Midian.

God ordered the Israelites to kill every man woman and child in the tribe of Midian. This was not cruel, they carried the deadly strain of hybrid DNA which threatened to pervert the bloodline of Abraham and prevent the birth of the Messiah. Saving the virgin girls alive most likely lead to the unholy mixing of DNA. God destroyed the tribes living in the Promised Land for the same reason He sent the Flood.

Moses, was already married to a Midianite, and many, including myself, believe that it is the children of Moses and Zipporah whose blood now flows throw the veins of the Rothschilds and the seven families identified as “Blue Blood.”

Jesus spoke often of separating the tares from the wheat, the chaff from the grain and other illustrations of a final, earthly, separation. The church has taken this as separating the saved from the unsaved, but Jesus was talking to Jews. It is within the realm of possibility that he was talking about separating all of mankind… removing the unredeemable, those with the deadly DNA, from among us.

Is it possible that there are two races of men, dwelling together on this planet and that it is a mixed and perverted race, blood relatives of the fallen angels, who rule the world and the nation in the name of Lucifer?

ON NEPHILIM, GIBBORUM AND DEMONS

No Jew, in the first century, would have doubted that the “Sons of God” in Genesis 6, were angelic, supernatural beings…

Genesis 6:1 (HCSB) When mankind began to multiply on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of mankind were beautiful, and they took any they chose as wives for themselves. 3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit will not remain with mankind forever, because they are corrupt. Their days will be 120 years.” 4 The Nephilim were on the earth both in those days and afterward, when the sons of God came to the daughters of mankind, who bore children to them. They were the powerful men of old, the famous men.

Enoch 6:1 (Charles) And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. 2. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: ‘Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.’ 3. And Semjâzâ, who was their leader, said unto them: ‘I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.’ 4. And they all answered him and said: ‘Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.’ 5. Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. 6. And they were in all two hundred; who descended ⌈in the days⌉ of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. 

The Book of Enoch or First Enoch, if you prefer, belongs to the Second Temple Period in Israel. (516 BC – 70 AD) No one knows who wrote it, but Scripture quotes it, and in that context, calls Enoch a Prophet. It is imagined that at least the first part of the book was based on lost manuscripts and oral traditions that predate the flood. We know, and can demonstrate, that the Jews of the Second Temple Period, including the writers of the New Testament, were knowledgeable of and greatly influenced by the book.

The writers of the New Testament held a supernatural world view. Their understanding of Angels and demons was very much in line with the Book of Enoch. They understood that while the fallen angels were locked up until the judgment day, demons were, in fact, the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim and the Gibborum.  This was the generally held view of the Jews alive at the time of Jesus. The Angels, mentioned in Enoch, had produced offspring with human women. How that is possible is beyond the scope of this blog post but Scripture equates their sin with the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah, obviously labeling it as sexual in nature.

The Nephilim were the children of the Angels and human women. The Gibborum, or giants, were the genetic descendants of the Nephilim, sometimes Gibborum / Gibborum, but often Gibborum / human. They got smaller as the Nephilim blood got weaker and more diluted over the generations. These mixed blood tribes were still in the Promised Land when Joshua took Jericho. It was the Gibborum who so frightened the Hebrew spies that they refused to enter the Land. It was these mixed tribes that God ordered the Jews to decimate, killing every man, woman, boy and girl. God was not cruel; these people were unredeemable and posed a threat to the bloodline of the coming Messiah.

The Jews of the Second Temple Period, understood that the souls of these mixed, human / angel beings, could not die. Enoch informed them that these souls had been condemned to wander the earth until the Judgment. These souls hungered and thirsted, having human appetites but were unable to meet their needs without a body. It was for this reason that they sought to possess human beings. These souls were the demons who so plagued mankind with disease and gross evil.

In the mind of the Second Temple Period Jews, these demons were much more responsible for the evil and fallen condition of man than was even the fall of Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve had lost the dominion over the earth to Satan and brought on a curse. It was the fallen Angels and their progeny who had taught every evil, from seduction to the art of war, to mankind. It was the Nephilim who had made mankind so evil that God had destroyed the earth in the flood and it was the demons, the spirits of the Nephilim and the Gibborum who continued to bring sickness and influence men towards evil.

No Jew, in the first century, would have doubted that the “Sons of God” in Genesis 6, were angelic, supernatural beings. That view held, in the Church, until Augustine. It was Augustine who was the first to question the supernatural aspects of Scripture and it was he, who first introduced the idea that the “Sons of God” in genesis 6 were the very human descendants of Seth, while the “Daughters of men” were the evil daughters of Cain. I will discuss the obvious fallacies in that theory in another post. Let me simply say that the idea that the “Godly” sons of Seth, forcing themselves on the ungodly daughters of Cain, reverses the picture, making rapists out of the Godly men and victims out of the “evil women.” Beyond that, the idea that the union between two very human groups produced giants, is inexplicable. The only reason for believing the so called “Sethite Theory” is a steadfast refusal to believe in the supernatural.

So, Enoch effected the beliefs of the writers of the New Testament. It is quoted by both Peter and Jude and alluded to by others. It explains and opens our understanding of Scripture, both Old and New Testaments. Our Canon was settled on in the West and those who made those decisions had good reasons for doing so. The oldest Scriptural Canon in the World is the Ethiopian Canon. While Enoch is excluded in the canon accepted by Catholics and Protestants in the West, it is included in the older canon. Is it Scripture? Certain Eastern and African churches accept it as Scripture, while we do not. Some things evade dogmatic statements. I will leave that decision to my readers.

This author, believes in the supernatural. I am convinced that there were giants and that while they are no longer giants, a race of people has remained on earth that still has the remnants of angel DNA. These people are the elite and the super wealthy of the world… You can argue with me if you like; I certainly cannot prove that. We can discuss that in a future post.

Three books for those whose interest is peaked. Each of the three books has extensive bibliographies which point to literally hundreds of other books. Several people have earned ThDs and PhDs, studying these things. There is room for a hundred more dissertations on the subject. I encourage study.

THE CHRISTIAN AND THE LAW

I could care less who goes to church on what day, or what they eat…

Ephesians 2: 11 So then, remember that at one time you were Gentiles in the flesh—called “the uncircumcised” by those called “the circumcised,” which is done in the flesh by human hands. 12 At that time you were without the Messiah, excluded from the citizenship of Israel, and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.

To whom was the Law given? Was the Law of Moses given to the Amorites or the Hittites? No, the Law was given to the sons of Abraham. We were, “Gentiles in the flesh… excluded from the citizenship of Israel, and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.”

We were never under the Law.

The only way for a Gentile Christian to come under the Law is to voluntarily step out from under grace and intentionally submit to the Law.

Galatians 5:4 You who are trying to be justified by the law are alienated from Christ; you have fallen from grace.

Jewish Christians have been rescued from the Law. Gentile Christians never were under the Law.

To refuse grace and place yourself in bondage, under the Law, is to insult the cross of Jesus Christ!

Romans 6:14 For sin will not rule over you, because you are not under law but under grace.

It is a very simple statement:

“You are not under the law.”

  • It is simple English and it is translated from a very simple, straightforward statement in the Greek.
  • There is no question about what the words mean.
  • There are no alternate “possible translations” that might possibly give reason to believe that those words do not mean what they say.
  • A third grader could tell you what that statement means.
  • If you were in this country on a diplomatic visa, and they arrested you, you could rightly tell the judge that you were not under that law. They might deport you but they could not imprison you. The Laws of the United States cannot be applied to those here with diplomatic visas.
  • Possession of a Bible carries the death penalty in North Korea. That does not frighten me. I am not under the Laws of North Korea and I walk freely with my Bible in hand.

No one misunderstands that verse but millions reject that verse.

  • They reject that verse because they believe that they are special because obeying a couple of those laws has made them special.
  • If that verse is true, going to church on the Sabbath has no merit and abstaining from pork earns no Celestial Brownie Points.
  • If that verse is true, those who abstain from pork and go to church on Saturday are no better than those who eat pork and go to church on Sunday.
  • That idea is unacceptable, and so they reject plain Scripture and submit to a law that holds no real power over them.
  • They trade grace for a ministry of condemnation and death.

It is very, very difficult to let go of legalism. To trade in the opportunity to earn your own righteousness and the sense of self-satisfaction you get from that, for a theology that says, “Jesus paid it all, all to him I owe,” is almost impossible. It literally destroys the ego. It hurts like Hell…

We are not under the Law.:

  • We are in Jesus.
  • Jesus told us to Love God and to love our neighbor.
  • That I am glad to do.
  • If you love God and your neighbor,
  • you will not have idols
  • or dishonor your parents
  • or murder
  • or steal
  • or commit adultery
  • or covet.

At the same time, Christ becomes your Sabbath Rest and you trade in the Sabbath Day for a 24/7 relationship. You give thanks for pork and lobster and shellfish and you consecrate them through prayer and thanksgiving.

Romans 6:14 says, “For sin will not rule over you, because you are not under law but under grace.”

Either that is true or God is a liar. Your call.

Galatians 5:18 says, “But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.”

Either that is true or God is a liar. Your Call.

Galatians 5:4 says, “You who are trying to be justified by the law are alienated from Christ; you have fallen from grace.”

Either that is true or God is a liar. Your Call.

2 Corinthians 3 says. “7 But if the MINISTRY OF DEATH, IN LETTERS ENGRAVED ON STONES, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory? 9 For if THE MINISTRY OF CONDEMNATION has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in glory.”

Either the Ten Commandments are a ministry of death and condemnation, or God is a liar. Your call.

I had a man who claims to be “Torah Observant” comment: 

“you seem to confuse the Torrah (sic) with the Talmud. Where in the Torrah (sic) does it say I must not touch a chair that my wife has sat on during her period.”

This is what drives me nuts… people who self-identify as “Torah Observant” and / or “Law Keepers” generally have no idea whatsoever what the Torah teaches…

Leviticus 15:19 “‘When a woman has her regular flow of blood, the impurity of her monthly period will last seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean till evening.

20 “‘Anything she lies on during her period will be unclean, and anything she sits on will be unclean. 21

>>>Anyone who touches her bed will be unclean; they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening. 22

>>>Anyone who touches anything she sits on will be unclean; they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening. 23

>>>Whether it is the bed or anything she was sitting on, when anyone touches it, they will be unclean till evening.

When I posted that Scripture, there was dead silence. He never replied.

I am not fighting the Law.

  • The Law is forever.
  • The Laws of Kazakhstan are very real, they just do not apply.
  • The Law of Moses is very real, it just does not apply.
  • “We are NOT under the Law but under Grace.”
  • I repeat, “We are NOT under the Law but under Grace.”
  • What does the Scripture say?
  • Romans 6:15 What then? Should we sin because we are not under law but under grace?
  • Absolutely not!”

If we are not under the law, how do we define sin?

  • By the Law of Christ.
  • What is the Law of Christ?
  • Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and body and your neighbor as yourself.
  • Does Adultery violate that Law?
  • Yes.
  • How about stealing, murder, gossip or sexual perversion?
  • Yes, absolutely!
  • How about eating bacon or going to church on Sunday?
  • No, no way!
  • I can love God and my neighbor while I eat Bacon before church on Sunday.
  • How about letting a gentile enter my house (The Torah forbids it)
  • No, I love my gentile neighbor too. (Not to mention that I am a gentile.)
  • How about going to church after I bury my dead dog?
  • The Torah forbids that.
  • No, that has nothing to do with loving God or my neighbor.
  • How about sleeping with my wife during her time of the month?
  • The same Torah that forbids pork, tells me I am not even to touch the chair she sat in.
  • Nope… That rule has nothing to do with loving God or my neighbor.

What gets me is the hypocrisy of the “Law Keepers” and the “Torah Observant.”

  • The same Torah that forbids pork, forbids women to go to the House of God, during their period or for seven days following.
  • That same Torah forbids a man who has touched even a chair his wife sat in during that time of month to enter a house of worship.
  • It forbids a man who had an ejaculation the night before to go to church.
  • It forbids anyone who touches a dead animal to go to church.
  • It forbids you to light any kind of fire or cook on the Sabbath.

All of these rules and hundreds more are found in the Torah, but the “Law Keepers” and the “Torah Observant” rip the dietary laws out of that Torah, insist that they are binding on Christians but that you are free to ignore every other rule in the book.

  • That is the dictionary definition of hypocrisy.
  • They insist that the Sabbath is mandatory.
  • The same Torah that says not to eat pork, contains more than one hundred laws which define exactly what one cannot do and what one must do in order to “Keep the Sabbath Holy”.
  • The Same Torah that says not to eat pork tells you how to keep the Sabbath.
  • The food laws are binding on Christians but the Sabbath laws in the same book are not?
  • What?
  • Sounds hypocritical to me…

John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

Some have been looking at this verse in a discussion over whether or not we are “gods” (little g). I see something else in the verse…

Jesus refers to it as “Your Law” as opposed to “My Law” or “God’s Law…”

Jesus did not take ownership of the Law nor did He ascribe ownership to God. In the New Testament, it is called:
• The Law
• Your Law
• The Law of the Jews
• The Law of Moses
It is not called “God’s Law” and Jesus did not refer to it as “My Law.”

When Jesus spoke of his commandments, He specified:
• Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and body
• Love your neighbor as yourself

2 Corinthians 3:7-11 calls the Ten Commandments a “Ministry of condemnation” and a “Ministry of death.”

2 Corinthians 3:7 Now if the ministry of death, chiseled in letters on stones, came with glory, so that the Israelites were not able to look directly at Moses’ face because of the glory from his face—a fading glory— 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness overflows with even more glory. 10 In fact, what had been glorious is not glorious now by comparison because of the glory that surpasses it. 11 For if what was fading away was glorious, what endures will be even more glorious.

Speaking of the Law of Christ, Galatians 6:2 says:

“Carry one another’s burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”

There is world of difference between carrying another’s burden in order to fulfill the Law of Christ and abstaining from pork and going to church on the Sabbath is some sort of vain and half-hearted attempt to fulfill the Law of Moses

You may try to earn all the Celestial Brownie Points you can by going to church on Saturday and not eating pork. I am satisfied with the righteousness imparted to me in Christ Jesus.

2 Corinthians 5:21 He made the One who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

In Christ, I have become the very righteousness of God. I couldn’t beat that if I never ate Pork and went to Sabbath church a thousand weeks in a row…

It is those who insist that they are more holy than I because they go to church on Saturday, and that I am a reprobate sinner for going to church on Sunday, that I address here. Those who insist that if I would only go to church on Saturday and stop eating pork, I too could earn Celestial Brownie Points and one day, I might even attain to the higher ground on which they stand.

I could care less who goes to church on what day, or what they eat…

David…
