PROOF THAT THE UNITED STATES IS:
REGATHERED ISRAEL!
Now let's examine the specific "Marks," "Fingerprints," or "Footprints" which will prove conclusively that the United States is: REGATHERED ISRAEL!
1). The land of the promised nation was to be located between two seas the Eastern Sea and the Great Western Sea!
"From the border unto the EAST SEA...The WEST SIDE also shall be the GREAT SEA..."
The boundaries of the United States fit this description perfectly. This passage, is taken from the prophet's geographical description of RESTORED ISRAEL, cannot possible apply to ancient Palestine, or the present day State of Israel. Other prophetic references to the two seas: From Micah: "...and from SEA to SEA." ; "Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me...my people Israel...they shall wonder from SEA to SEA." [1]
From Joel: "But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the EAST SEA, and his hinder part toward the UTMOST [Western] SEA." [2]
Again from Ezekiel: "Now these are the name of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way ...these are his sides east and west; a portion for Dan." [3]
From Psalms: "He shall have dominion also from SEA to SEA, and from THE RIVER [Mississippi] UNTO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH." [4]
From Zechariah: "And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be FROM SEA even TO SEA, and FROM THE RIVER even TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH." [5] And: "And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them TOWARD THE FORMER SEA, and half of them TOWARD THE HINDER SEA..." [6]
It is an impossible task to locate this Land in Ancient Palestine, or in the present day State of Israel, for the want of A SEA FOR AN EASTERN BORDER, and A SEA FOR A WESTERN BORDER and yes, A SEA FOR A SOUTHERN BORDER. As we can see from the following: "And the SOUTH SIDE SOUTHWARD...TO THE GREAT SEA. And THIS IS THE SOUTH SIDE SOUTHWARD." [7]
Our so‑called "Ministers" and "Learned Theologians" have, for the most part, generally supposed that the present day State of Israel, is the country referred to, but let them show these EASTERN, SOUTHERN and WESTERN SEAS for boundaries. This defect alone is fatal, and INVALIDATES THE CLAIMS OF THE JEWS and today's religious claims for the present day State of Israel.
2). This land is described as being uncultivated and unimproved.
"When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam [Seth and Cain], he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. For the Lord's portion is his people [Israel]; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. He found him in a DESERT LAND, and in the WASTE HOWLING WILDERNESS; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. As an eagle stirreth up her nest... spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings." [8]; "...fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste." [9]; "To cause it to rain on the earth, WHERE NO MAN IS; on the WILDERNESS, wherein there is no man; To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?" [10]; "Thus saith the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One...Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and a day of salvation have I helped thee...to cause to INHERIT DESOLATE HERITAGES." [11]; "... he will comfort all her WASTE PLACES; and he will make her WILDERNESS like Eden, and her DESERT like the garden of the Lord." [12]; "And they that shall be of thee, shall build the OLD WASTE PLACES." [13]; "Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy LAND any more be termed DESOLATE." [14]; "Also I WILL ORDAIN A PLACE for my people Israel, and WILL PLANT THEM...they shall DWELL IN THEIR PLACE ...and fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, IT IS DESOLATE WITHOUT MAN OR BEAST." [15]; "And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, IT IS DESOLATE WITHOUT MAN OR BEAST..." [16]; "...and I will no more drive my people of Israel out of the LAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN THEM." [17]; "O Israel...WHO HATH GONE OVER THE SEA, AND FOUND HER...and hath given it unto Jacob his servant, and to Israel his beloved." [18]; "Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Again in this place, which is DESOLATE WITHOUT MAN AND WITHOUT BEAST [No Black people]...I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah." [19]; "And they shall say, THIS LAND THAT WAS DESOLATE is become like the garden of Eden." [20]; "After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land...against the mountains of Israel, WHICH HAVE BEEN ALWAYS WASTE." [21]
Neither ancient Palestine nor the present day State of Israel is referred to here, for it cannot be said, in truth, that Palestine has always been waste. For it was known as Canaan Land long before Israel conquered it: "I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the Land of Canaan." [22]
Then after they were taken into Assyrian Captivity, the king of Assyria brought other people in to replace them after they were taken away captive. "And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria INSTEAD OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof." [23]
However, our own country, the United States, fully answers the description of each and every one of the Scriptures. The Great Plains of the Middlewest, of West Texas and Eastern New Mexico; the Eastern, Western and Southern forest presented to our ancestors, the same unbroken wilderness they had remained throughout the ages: For God had preserved them for their future destiny, as the final resting place for the Children of Israel in Zion and New Jerusalem. "Thus saith the Lord...I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages." [24]
3). The land of regathered Israel to have vast forests of trees.
"The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious." [25]
So Isaiah said that God would plant trees ‑ YES, FORESTS ‑ in the place where His people would be and where He would dwell. This description fits this North American Continent exactly. God says that His Sanctuary is in Israel. "And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore." [26] From Joel: "And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else." [27]From Isaiah: "Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel in the isles of the sea." [28]���� From Psalms: "He [Christ] shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth." [29] From Esdras: "And, lo, there arose a wind from the sea, that it moved all the waves thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, that man waxed strong with the thousands of heaven: and when he turned his countenance to look, all the things trembled that were seen under him. And whensoever the voice went out of his mouth, all they burned that heard his voice, like as the earth faileth when it feeleth the fire. And after this I beheld, and, lo, there was gathered together a multitude of men, out of number, from the four winds of the heaven, to subdue the man that came out of the sea. But I beheld, and, lo, he had graved himself a great mountain, and flew up upon it. But I would have seen the region or place whereof the hiss was grave, and I could not. And after this I beheld, and, lo, and they which were gathered together to subdue him were sore afraid, and yet durst fight. And, lo, as he saw the violence of the multitude that came, he neither lifted up his hand, nor held sword, nor any instrument of war: But only I saw that he sent out of his mouth as it had been a blast of fire, and out of his lips a flaming breath, and out of his tongue he cast out sparks and tempests. And they were all mixed together; the blast of fire, the flaming breath, and the great tempest; and fell with violence upon the multitude which was prepared to fight, and burned them up every one, so that upon a sudden of an innumerable multitude nothing was to be perceived, but only dust and smell of smoke: when I saw this I was afraid. Afterward saw I the same man come down from the mountain, and call unto him another peaceable multitude. And there came much people unto him, whereof some were glad, some were sorry, some of them were bound, and other some brought of them that were offered: then was I sick through great fear..." [30]
In a book entitled, "The Glory of Lebanon Now In America," the authors traveled throughout the Western part of the United States prior to writing their book, which show, as far as their under-standing was concerned, God Almighty had truly brought to pass that which He had promised through Isaiah. The following is from chapter three: "The revelation that came to me after seeing our west coast forests, and twice having heard God speak to me the words: 'THIS IS THE GLORY OF LEBANON,' together with a study of God's Word, impels me to make some comparisons between the NEW PROMISED LAND [of] AMERICA, and the old promised land of Palestine. The first of which is a comparison between America's forests and the deforested lands of Palestine."
The authors then go on to write about the plan of the Jews to replant trees in the barren land of Palestine. "Mr. David Ben‑Gurion stated in the second session of the Knesset, November 7, 1949: 'We must plant hundreds of thousands of trees covering an area of five million dunams, one‑quarter of the surface of our country; we must cover the mountains and uncultivable land, the hills and the sand dunes, the barren plains of the Negev ‑‑ all the land of Edom and of the Arava, as far as Eilot.'"
They then continue: "The question I ask: Is this the beginning of the fulfillment of the prophecy in Isaiah where God said: 'I will plant in the wilderness the fir tree, the pine tree and the cedar together?' Many many years will be required before these trees to be planted will become mature ‑‑ and yet these days we are living in are 'the last days of prophecy.' By way of comparison, let us note that: 'ALL OF PALESTINE COULD FIT ON THE OLYMPIC PENINSULA, NOW A MATURE FOREST OF FIR TREES ‑‑ ALREADY OVER 2000 YEARS OLD, AND PROTECTED WITH 13 1/4 FEET OF ANNUAL RAINFALL! Yes, God can work miracles!' One can almost hear well meaning Christian folks say, 'Well, God can do anything, even to making trees grow miraculously fast.'"
Why is it so hard for Christians to believe Almighty God has already done that which He said He would do? Why not believe that we do not have to wait for a future fulfillment? I have traveled in some of the national forests on the west coast. The national forest guides tell us that many trees in these forests were two hundred to three hundred feet high and from sixteen to eighteen feet through at the base when Moses brought [led] the children of Israel out of Egypt.
Who planted these trees in America? Certainly no man did. We know the Indians did not. We know the cavemen, who might have lived here according to the evolutionists didn't plant them, it was God Almighty, Himself, who planted them. Who is planting the trees in old Palestine today? It is the Jews who are doing the planting!
As mentioned before, as for as we can tell from what people say who have traveled over there, most of the trees have been planted in Palestine by the hand of man die [But not to worry the, the Jews are continually asking the Christians they hate so venomously with an undying hatred, for money to plant more trees in their effort to fulfill this prophecy]. The land remains just as barren today as it was almost forty years ago. We think it is going to remain barren. Because God said: "And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed." [31]
If you were to go to any other nation on the face of the earth where educated people can be found, ASK them what nation, they think God has blessed above all others: Which nation do you think they would choose? They would tell you, America, even if the so‑called "Ministers" in America do not. Reading on in the book, "The Glory of Lebanon Now In America," the authors write of old Palestine: "Today in Lebanon, as quoted from the book 'The Conquest of the Land Through Seven Thousand Years,' there are only four small groves of trees left of ancient days. The largest is the Tripoli Forest with only four hundred trees in it, and with only forty three of the Sequoia Gigantea Wolf Trees left. The fact is, if all the trees of Lebanon, and also the 200,000,000 trees yet to be planted in the sections of Negeu, Galilee and Judea, plus the fact, if all of the Israeli State were replanted with trees ‑‑ which, mind you, would leave no room for orange trees ‑‑ the total would not or could not begin to equal the amount of trees just in our one State of Washington alone."
Is this tree project in Palestine today, though insignificant by comparison to what we now have in America. THE GLORY OF LEBANON which the Lord promised to Israel? The answer to the above is obviously NO. It is not what God promised to Israel. In Isaiah Chapter Forty‑One God says: "I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water...the dry land springs of water. I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the Shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together." [32]
Old Palestine was never called "the wilderness." The only time "the wilderness" was mentioned in the Old Testament, other than in prophecy, was in reference to the land traveled between Egypt and Old Palestine. However, this North American Continent was called "the wilderness" by our forefathers. "Here was man... on the shore of a rude and fearful wilderness." [33] They recognized this was the place where God was replanting His Israel people. This is reflected in the writings of many of our forefathers; such as these by Christopher [This name means literally Christ‑bearer] Columbus; "What did He [God] more for the people of Israel when He brought them out of Egypt? Or for David, whom from a shepherd He made to be king in Judea? Or for David, whom from a shepherd He was made to be king in Judea?"
For God had told David, through Nathan the prophet: "Also I will ordain A PLACE for my people Israel, and will PLANT them, and they shall dwell in THEIR PLACE, and shall be moved no more." [34]
We find this repeated as a second witness: "Moreover I WILL APPOINT A PLACE FOR MY PEOPLE ISRAEL, AND WILL PLANT THEM, THAT THEY MAY DWELL IN A PLACE OF THEIR OWN, AND MOVE NO MORE; neither shall the children of wickedness [Edomites - The Jews] afflict them any more, as beforetime." [35] This at a time when Israel supposedly were ALREADY in their land. Then Isaiah related: "For the Lord...will yet choose Israel, AND SET THEM IN THEIR OWN LAND." [36] Then God said: "At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people...the people which were left...IN THE WILDERNESS; EVEN ISRAEL...and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered will gather him." [37]
Before we forget, we should point out: The purpose of all these trees and forests in this fulfilled prophecy is revealed in the following verse: "That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it." [38]
Yes, God has brought to pass, in the Anglo‑Saxon, Germanic and Kindred peoples the covenants which He gave to Abraham, which He reiterated and explained through Moses, then enlarged upon and explained them through the various prophets; which were ultimately confirmed through the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. And those covenants and promises are coming to pass here on this North American Continent, under the hand of God's True Israel the Anglo‑Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic and Kindred people. The tragedy is that people think God has forgotten His Israel people. They think He is waiting until some future time to fulfill His promises to Abraham. And this false doctrine is being taught in all too many churches today. "But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not...When thou PASSEST THROUGH THE WATERS and THROUGH THE RIVERS." [39]
In Second Esdras we find: "But they [Israel] took this counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and GO FORTH INTO A FURTHER COUNTRY, WHERE NEVER MANKIND DWELT." [40]
Let no man say that the footprints of the natives [Indians] of this country are an objection to this account, for a land is waste where the tilling of the land has never been. "WASTE:uncultivated or uninhabited land, as a desert or WILDERNESS." [41]� Such is the description of the country to be possessed by the nation [Israel] which was to come and such was America when it was discovered.
Listen to Isaiah describe America, a country he never saw, except in his minds eye; and describes it with an exactness which proves without a doubt that he was truly a prophet of God. "The WILDERNESS and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing; the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God...for in the WILDERNESS shall waters break out [42], and streams in the desert [Irrigation]. And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons [43], where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes [44]." [45]
4). Israel was to be a great and mighty nation.
"And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great: and thou shalt be a blessing." [46]; "Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?" [47]; "For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for? And what nation is there so great that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?" [48]; "...he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous." [49]
In these we can see God's promise to Abraham of a "great nation" which would bless all the nations of the earth. And by no stretch of the imagination was these scriptures fulfilled in Ancient Israel; for it cannot be said in truth that she was a "great," "mighty," and "populous" nation. There were many nations in existence at that time which were more populous and mighty than Israel. And the scriptures attest to this: "To drive out nations from before thee GREATER and MIGHTIER than thou art." [50]: "When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hast cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations GREATER and MIGHTIER than thou." [51]; "Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations GREATER and MIGHTIER than thyself." [52]; "Then will the Lord drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess GREATER NATIONS and MIGHTIER than yourselves." [53]
Here are just four verses among many which testify as to the fact, there were MANY nations MIGHTIER and GREATER than Israel.
Nor can it be said that ALL the nations of the earth were blessed in Ancient Israel. Oh yes, many of the "Ministers" of America will point to Christ and exclaim that ALL the nations were blessed in Him. But if one will be completely honest ‑‑ NOT ALL THE NATIONS ON EARTH HAVE BEEN BLESSED IN HIM AS OF YET! This is because not all the nations have accepted Him, nor have realized the truth of His sacrifice and the importance of His dying on the Stake, being buried, then Raised again, Ascending into Heaven and is now sitting at the Right Hand of Almighty God. However, the United States of America, the foremost nation of the western hemisphere in the number and wealth of its people, and the second largest in Area. Has blessed ALL the nations of the earth in one way or another.
This "Great Nation" in which the eastern coast is separated from Europe by approximately 3,000 miles of the Atlantic Ocean which acts as a carrier for an enormous commerce between the two continents, but which, at the same time, gives the United States a degree of isolation from European affairs which contributed greatly to its independent growth and progress. While the Pacific Ocean which separates the United States from the Oriental nations of the far east is wider, varying from 5,000‑6,000 miles, but in the acquisition of the Hawaiian Islands the United States acquired possession of an important midway stepping stone to these far away nations.
Also, the United States consists of 50 separate and theoretically sovereign states [nations] which are joined together by [one] federal government to which the original 13 states [nations] delegated CERTAIN powers to it, and which are outlined in the Federal Constitution adopted in 1787 and placed in force in 1789. By the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the Thirteen American Colonies of Great Britain expressed their action as that of "these united colonies," but the terms of the declaration implied that each became an independent state or nation.
The thirteen united in declaring independence and in the conduct of war, though their co‑operation was largely ineffective. The Articles of Confederation, adopted in 1781, constituted a legal symbol of union, but the Central Government under these articles had no coercive power over the states, and no power whatever over the citizens of the states.
However, since the United States is regathered Israel, Zion and New Jerusalem where God was forming the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ here on the earth as promised in the scriptures. Therefore, unknown to our forefathers He caused them to become discontent with the original Articles of Confederation, and so the National Constitution was framed in 1787 and placed into effect in 1789, to remedy this situation by creating a Central Government [Which ultimately, upon Christ's return will be turned into a Kingdom with Christ as King] with large powers and with the authority to exercise these powers, not only upon the states, but directly upon all citizens of the country.
When the first Congress of the United States under the Constitution of 1787 assembled in New York in April 1789, the Union had a membership of eleven states. North Carolina and Rhode Island soon joined their sisters of the original thirteen states [nations]. The thirteen have now grown to fifty. Everybody in the United States except the American Indian is an immigrant from some other country or a descendant of an immigrant. The main race groups are:
1). The descendants of the colonist, who were mainly Anglo‑Saxons, with some Germans and Scotch‑Irish;
2). Descendants of the European who came over in GREAT NUMBERS;
3). The large number of recent immigrants and their children, which unfortunately are the Jews and Asians who are enemies of Christ and Christians; and are alien to our Christian Heritage.
No human agent can possibly list all of the blessings Americans [Israelites] have given to the people of the world;
1). In agriculture: Dams, advancement in crop production, development of arid lands;
2). Electronics: Telephones, motion pictures, telegraph, electric transformer, radio and television;
3). Medicine: Anesthetic, vaccines, vitamins and surgical procedures;
4). Christianity: The U.S. has sent more Missionaries around the world spreading the Word of God, the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and has translated the Bible into almost every language on earth;
�� 5). avionics: Air Plane, missiles and space craft;
�� 6). So many other ways it would take volumes to relate.
5). Israel's seed to be without number.
"And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered." [54]; "And he [God] brought him [Abraham] forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be." [55]; "That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies." [56]; "And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions [This means hundreds of millions], and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them." [57]; "And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries [What country is being spoken of here ‑‑ Can you not see this is here because Israel was to be MANY NATION(s), not just one; that being Canaan Land]; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed...And the Lord appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake." [58]; "And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people...And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad the west, and to the east, and to the north and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed." [59]; "And thou saidst, I will surely do good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude." [60]; "Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall." [61]; "For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea." [62]; "Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered." [63]
In 1785, there were approximately 350,000 people in Palestine, in what is known today as the State of Israel. "After 4 centuries of Ottoman rule, during which the population declined to a low of 350,000 [1785]." [64]
Then in 1982, the population was estimated to be only 4,100,000 (World Almanac). This is an increase of only 3,750,000 in a period of some 197 years. While at the same time, and during a less number of years, there were 70,000,000 Europeans who immigrated to the United States in just 114 years. "Some 70 million Europeans emigrated in the century before 1914." [65]
The population of the United States in 1790, was estimated to be 3,929,214 and then in 1980, it was given as 226,504,825 or an increase of some 222,575,611. So you can see the pitiful few Jews [Who falsely present themselves as Israel] that emigrated to Palestine pales in comparison. As a matter of fact, if one uses 40 years as a generation and the population doubles every 20 years; then there should have been more than 14,000,000 people in Israel in 1982; which would be considerably more than the 4,100,000.
Has there ever been such a tide of immigration into any country since the creation of the world? Can some 4,400,000 of which only 83 percent or 3,652,000 are Jews ‑‑ the population of the present day state of Israel or the 17,981,460 [The present day population figures for Israel and the Jews is from the 1988 Information Please Almanac by Haughton Mifflin Co.)] possibly be the fulfillment of the promise God made Abraham that his seed would number as the stars in the heaven, as the sands of the sea or the dust of the earth?
And to represent the saved or the Christians as the ones referred to in these verses, is an exercise in stupidity beyond comprehension, which is just what our "Prostitute Ministers," the Prophets of Baal of Organized Religion claim and teach; because of their Spiritual Blindness! Now it can be clearly seen by any thinking person, 222,575,611 comes a lot closer to fulfilling these prophecies than the 3,652,000 or the 17,981,460.
Although Satan's Children, the Jews and his agents prophets of Baal, The Clergy of Organized Religion try, because they are wicked spiritually blind men and women, try to tell you that God's promises have been fulfilled in the Jews; that He is talking of all the Jews who ever lived; that those alive now and those dead and those to come; that this is the fulfillment of God's promises is blasphemy and a slap in the face of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ to believe anything so utterly stupid!!!
6). Regathered Israel was to be a nation established and inhabited by people gathered out of many nations.
I am going to present many scriptures one after the other to show that the latter day Israel was to be a nation of Israelites regathered from many nations. A nation in a land different than Old Palestine. "... though there were of you cast into the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence." [66]; "And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south." [67]; "...and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth." [68]; "Those are the ten tribes, which were carried away prisoners out of their own land in the time of Osea the king...AND SO CAME THY INTO ANOTHER LAND...THEN DWELT THEY THERE UNTIL THE LATER TIME." [69]; "Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these FROM THE LAND OF SINIM [This was the ancient name of China]." [70]; "...thy sons shall come from far." [71] "...when ye be multiplied and increased in the land...and ALL THE NATIONS [Of Israel] SHALL BE GATHERED UNTO IT...AND GIVE THEE A PLEASANT LAND." [72]; "Lo, THY SONS COME...GATHERED together from the east to the west." [73]; "...and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord." [74]; "I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel." [75]; "And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered." [76]; "And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them TO THEIR OWN LAND, and feed them upon the mountains [nations] of Israel by the river(s), and in all the inhabited places of the country." [77]; "For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and WILL BRING YOU INTO YOUR OWN LAND." [78]; "Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and BRING THEM INTO THEIR OWN LAND: And I will make them ONE NATION in the land upon the mountains [nations] of Israel; and ONE KING [President] shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all." [79]; "...in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains [nations] of Israel, WHICH HAVE BEEN ALWAYS WASTE." [80]; "Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and APPOINT THEMSELVES ONE HEAD, and they shall come up out of the land." [81]; "In that day, saith the Lord, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast off A STRONG NATION: and the Lord shall reign over them in mount Zion." [82]
It is obvious these are not one nation collected together, but is composed of people from many different nations. This is so prominent that the prophet Isaiah seems to dwell upon it with inspired eloquence: "Lift up thine eyes round about...behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee." [83] Then again, "Lift up thin eyes round about and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far...thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side...the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee...WHO ARE THESE THAT FLY AS A CLOUD, and as the doves to their windows." [84]
The prophet then goes on to enrich his description by images, in keeping with the description of the Stone Kingdom as spoken of by Daniel, drawn both from the animal and vegetable kingdoms: "...the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee...The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Mindian and Ehah...they shall bring gold...All the flocks of Kadar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaiath shall minister unto thee...the glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together." [85]
If one is honest, and a true follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, there is no escaping the fact that the Prophets of God make observations that fit ONLY the United States; and by no stretch of the imagination will they fit the present day state of Israel. "...thy people the house of Jacob...THEIR LAND also IS FULL OF SILVER and GOLD, NEITHER IS THERE ANY END OF THEIR TREASURES; THEIR LAND is also FULL OF HOUSES, NEITHER IS THERE ANY END OF THEIR CHARIOTS: THEIR LAND also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made." [86] Again: "Look upon Zion...A PLACE OF BROAD RIVERS AND STREAMS." [87] Then: "THERE THY GATES SHALL BE OPEN CONTINUALLY; THEY SHALL NOT BE SHUT DAY NOR NIGHT." [88]; In Jeremiah: "Jacob...shall be in [at] rest...NONE SHALL MAKE HIM AFRAID." [89]; In Ezekiel: "BUT THEY SHALL DWELL SAFELY, and NONE shall make them afraid." [90]; "...to turn thine hand upon THE DESOLATE PLACES THAT ARE NOT INHABITED." [91]; In Zechariah: "JERUSALEM SHALL BE INHABITED AS TOWNS without walls..." [92]; In Esdras: "I LED YOU THROUGH THE SEA, and in the beginning gave you a large and safe passage." [93]
As you can see, there is not a single verse quoted here, which one could even remotely apply to the Jews. Their land, the present day State of Israel, has no gold or silver [Except that which they have stolen or extorted from the Christians of the world by their lies in presenting themselves as the "Chosen of God" when, in fact, they are the Children of Satan]; and through their presentation of the "GREAT HOLOCAUST LIE" wherein their propagandists falsely claim that six million Jews died in Nazi death camps. Nor do they have cattle or trees, except in very few numbers; nor wealth of any kind, except that which, as we said, was stolen from the other races of the world. Their gates [Ports of entry] are continually closed and they dwell IN CONSTANT FEAR OF INVASION.
Further: JERUSALEM IS NOT INHABITED AS TOWN(s) [Plural more than one] for the multitude of men and cattle therein. And their dwellings are not in the midst of the sea. In the following scriptures we can see where the prophet enters into a more detailed description: "And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls." [94]; "...and strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers." [95]
The News Media almost daily, report that only the new emigrants, the illegal aliens, their sons and daughters will perform or work at these agriculture types of jobs. So with this in mind we can see the truth of the following prophecy is just as evident: "The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet." [96]
It is also possible with a study of the history books that the sons of the soldiers who invaded our coasts, murdered our people and burned our towns and villages; the sons of those who sneered at our ancestors attempts at freedom and attempted to crush it in the cradle; the sons of those who predicted the downfall of American Independence and that the Liberty being sought would die with George Washington. The English soldiers did these things and more, then when the war was over they came and sought for themselves a refuge and home in our land.
7). Israel to spread abroad; to the West, East, North and South.
"And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south [Here we can see clearly the Lord was giving a prophecy that Israel would someday be spread to the four corners of the earth]." [97]; "Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west: I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth." [98]; "Thus saith the Lord of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad." [99]; "...for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the Lord." [100]
It must be taken into consideration that Zechariah, as a Prophet to Israel, spoke not only to those in the Babylonian captivity, but to the millions of Israelites who had, at that time, been taken into the Assyrian lands.
These and other scriptures relate once again the vast number of people Israel was to become. Now if we take these and other prophecies and attempt to put them in little Old Palestine, we are in trouble! It is simply not large enough.
As these scriptures show, the Lord will dwell there; Zion will be there, many from the east, north, west and south will be there; a MULTITUDE of men and cattle, and it will "spread abroad" and be so large that angels will have to measure it.
Not only that but God said; "I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel...they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men." [101]
It is certain that number of people could not dwell in Old Palestine! Some statistics on the Jewish occupied area of Old Jerusalem and Palestine show it is not of sufficient size for a "multitude of people."
The Present day State of Israel is bounded on the north by Syria, on the east by Jordan, on the south by Egypt and consists of an area of 7,847 sq. mi. compare that with the United States which has an area of 3,540,939 sq. mi. which is 5 times larger. Israel is approximately the size of New Jersey. However, since the so‑called "war" in 1967, the area controlled by the Zionist Jews has increased substantially, but even if they took control of several entire Arabian countries, the Zionist state would still be smaller than just one of the average American States!!!
8). In the promised nation, like in Ancient Israel, foreigners were to be allowed a place to dwell, own land and homes and have the same rights as natural born citizens of the country.
"ONE LAW shall be to him that is home born, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you." [102]; "Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him." [103]; "...thou shalt not oppress a stranger." [104]; "...if a stranger sojourn with thee...ye shall not vex him." [105]; "Ye shall have ONE MANNER OF LAW, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country." [106]; "And if a stranger shall sojourn among you...ye shall have ONE ORDINANCE, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land." [107]; "ONE LAW and ONE MANNER shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you." [108]; "Ye shall have ONE LAW for him that sinneth [Brakes the law] through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them." [109]; "Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger." [110]; "And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you." [111]
In conformanity to the above scriptures the Constitution of the United States makes no differentiation between natural born citizens and those who are not, insofar as the laws are to be applied. The term "Law" has, in the United States [As in Ancient Israel], the restricted meaning of the law that is handed down by the courts [In Ancient Israel ‑‑ Judges served exactly the same function as do our courts of today.
They interpreted the laws, examined the evidence to ascertain guilt or innocence and then passed judgment] in construing and applying the provisions of the law. It is not, or at least, it was originally intended to be used to embrace the political practices of government.
Although this has changed since our government has come under the control of antichrist forces, and known in the Bible as "Mystery Babylon." In the beginning of our Great Republic; State and Federal Constitutions not only distributed powers of government equally but contained restraints on governmental action in favor of individual liberty and property.
The Federal Constitution restricts state as well as national action. some of its restrictions on State action are for the purpose of leaving the field clear for national authority; others are to leave individuals free from state coercion.
However, evil men have been placed in the courts as judges and other offices of the courts; these evil men have been placed into other offices of our government; men and women who have subverted our Christian laws and have changed them into chains which are slowly being drawn ever tighter around the necks of Christians and American Patriots.
Before we lost our "Constitutional Government" to ZOG [Zionist Occupational Government], who are the agents of Satan; there could be no propriety in characterizing the class of foreigners who should be blessed with the children born in the land, from the stranger who is only a traveler [sojourner], whose residence is but recent and transient.
It is a well known fact, that the current day Zionist State of Israel, not only does not treat the stranger according to the dictates of the Biblical Laws as related in the scriptures; indeed, they do not even treat their native born citizens the same; there is one law for the Zionist Jew; another for the Jew who is not a Zionist; another for the Sephardim Jew, and still another for the Arab citizens of that state. Whereas, America [Which is prophetic Zion and New Jerusalem, as spoken of in the Holy Scriptures], by contrast, has. And they would, in all likelihood, have remained that way had it not been for the tremendous influx of Jews in the last one hundred and fifty years, and the flood of illegal immigrants of recent years, who, like the Jews seem determined to change our American [Israelite] way of life.
9). Israel to have a new home.
"I WILL ORDAIN A PLACE for my people Israel, and WILL PLANT THEM and they shall DWELL in THEIR PLACE, and SHALL BE MOVED NO MORE." [112]; "Moreover I WILL APPOINT A PLACE for my people Israel and will PLANT THEM, that they may DWELL IN A PLACE OF THEIR OWN, and MOVE NO MORE." [113]; "For the Lord shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and HE [God] SHALL ROOT UP ISRAEL OUT OF THIS GOOD LAND, which he gave to their fathers, and SHALL SCATTER THEM BEYOND THE RIVER." [114]; "And the Lord said, I WILL REMOVE JUDAH also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and WILL CAST OFF THIS CITY JERUSALEM." [115]; "TO SATISFY THE DESOLATE and WASTE GROUND; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?" [116]; "But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel. And now, because ye have done all these works... THEREFORE WILL I DO UNTO THIS HOUSE [Temple] WHICH IS CALLED BY MY NAME, wherein ye trust [Jerusalem] and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers [Palestine], as I have done to Shiloh. And I WILL CAST YOU OUT OF MY SIGHT, even the whole seed of EPHRAIM." [117]; "Therefore will I CAST YOU OUT OF THIS LAND [Palestine] INTO A LAND THAT YE KNOW NOT, NEITHER YE NOR YOUR FATHERS [118]." [119]; "At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. Thus saith the Lord, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel...for I am a father to Israel...Ephraim is my firstborn, hear the word of the Lord...nations...declare it in the isles afar off." [120]; "Son of man, THY BRETHREN, even THY BRETHREN, the men of THY KINDRED...ALL THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL WHOLLY, are they unto whom THE INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM [The Jews] HAVE SAID, GET YOU [Israelites] FAR FROM THE LORD: UNTO US [Jews] IS THIS LAND [Palestine and Jerusalem] GIVEN IN POSSESSION." [121] "...in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword...is GATHERED OUT OF MANY PEOPLE, against the mountains [nations] of Israel, which have been always waste." [122]; "...toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land." [123]; "...the children of Israel...IN THE PLACE WHERE IT WAS SAID UNTO THEM, YE ARE NOT MY [God's] PEOPLE, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God [124]." [125]
These Scriptures are CLEARLY prophecies relating to the moving of Israel from Palestine to a new land.
10). This latter day nation was to have dominion from Sea to Sea, and to the ends of the world.
"He shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river [Mississippi] unto the ends of the earth." [126] "...and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from river even to the ends of the earth." [127]
These Scriptures are usually applied to Christ, to which we have no objection whatever. But why should we restrict it to Him only? For it is written: "...no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation." [128]; "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." [129]
If one limits the above scriptures to Christ only it will greatly diminish the universal triumph of His reign. As we are taught that His power and influence will be without, and that every knee shall bow and pay homage to Him.
However, these passages, along with those provided before, about the East Sea and the Great Sea, is a clear territorial grant, issued by Divine Authority; and must mark the boundaries of the Israel which was to come. If one will be absolutely honest he will recognize that this geographical description is applicable to no other country on earth but America.
"From sea to sea," from the Atlantic to the pacific Ocean. "From the river," can only mean the Mississippi [Algonquin, Missi Sipi, or "great river"], the central trunk of the great river system draining that part of the United States which lies between the Appalachian Mountains on the east and the Rocky Mountains on the west.
Together with over 40 tributaries which are navigable for at least part of their courses it forms one of the great inland navigation systems of the world. Whereas, in contrast, in the present day Zionist‑Communist State of Israel has only one river of any consequence, that being the Jordan River which is only about 200 miles long.
As far as the water systems of the world is concerned, it is an insignificant waterway. But the most important aspect of it is that: IT EMPTIES INTO THE DEAD SEA AND DOES NOT FLOW INTO ANY BODY OF WATER WHICH ONE COULD FOLLOW TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. This fatal flaw by itself invalidates the present day state of Israel from any further consideration as the nation which was to come. However, the Israel which was to come, America, can be seen in the song:
�������������������������������������������������� AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL
O, Beautiful for spacious skies, (Deuteronomy 33:13).
For amber waves of grain, (Deuteronomy 33:16).

11). Israel's home to be Northwest of Palestine.
"Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west." [130]; "Southwest it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea is his border." [131]
This should be self‑explanatory. However, there will be more later.
12). Some of this latter day nation's citizens are to come from China.
"Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim." [132]
|
All the historical commentators agree that "Sinim" is the ancient name for China. That was its ancient name, and was the name used on the Ancient Maps. China lies "north" and "west" or in other words northwest of the United States. There are few, if any, Theologians and "Ministers" who question that this passage describes the emigration of Chinese to the land of restored Israel. As a result, a question arises for those who support the view that the occupation of the present day bandit state of Israel is "restored Israel." That question being: HOW ARE THE CHINESE TO COME FROM CHINA TO PALESTINE FROM THE NORTHWEST?
This cannot happen because it would be impossible, for China lies NORTHEAST of Palestine! Not only that, but here is a promise of emigration from a distant country, whose inhabitants mingle with few other nations; here their ancient name is given and the direction from which they were to come. Once again perfect coincidence is perfect fulfillment and our position is given even more strength.
13). Israel to live in islands and coasts of the Earth.
"Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people [Israel ‑ [133]] renew their strength." [134]; "My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people [Israel]; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust." [135]; "For thus saith the Lord; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye praise ye, and say, O Lord, save thy people, the remnant of Israel. Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth...and declare it in the isles afar off." [136]; "Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel in the isles of the sea." [137]; "Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle." [138]; "Surely the isles shall wait for me...and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee." [139]; "Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land." [140]; "When they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance by their coasts." [141]
14). Restored Israel is described as a country restored from its desolation, by the Peculiar Construction of its towns and Villages and the Prosperity and Generosity of its inhabitants.
"Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. He found him in a DESERT LAND...IN THE WASTE HOWLING WILDERNESS." [142]; "...fleeing into the WILDERNESS in former time DESOLATE and WASTE." [143]; "... in the WILDERNESS, wherein THERE IS NO MEN: To satisfy the DESOLATE and WASTE ground." [144]; "Thus saith the Lord...to INHERIT the DESOLATE HERITAGES." [145]; "...the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all HER WASTE PLACES; and he will make her WILDERNESS like Eden, and her DESERT like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord." [146] "Break forth in joy, sing together, ye WASTE places of Jerusalem [Now if the New Jerusalem spoken of by our so‑called "Ministers" is a city, Then how could it have waste places in it?]: for the Lord hath comforted his people." [147]; "...they that shall be of thee shall build THE OLD WASTE PLACES." [148]; "...we are in DESOLATE PLACES." [149]; "And they [Israel] shall build the OLD WASTES, they shall raise up the FORMER DESOLATIONS." [150]; "... neither shall thy land any more be termed DESOLATE." [151]; "And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart." [152]; "And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is DESOLATE WITHOUT MAN." [153]; "And I will give them one heart, and I will put a NEW SPIRIT [Holy Ghost] within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh." [154]; "Because of the mountain [nation] of Zion, WHICH IS DESOLATE." [155]; "Therefore, ye mountains [Nations ‑‑ England, Canada, Australia, Germany, Holland, Switzerland, New Zealand, South Africa, France, Greenland, the Scandinavian Countries and of course the land of REGATHERED ISRAEL ‑‑ THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA] of Israel...thus saith the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills [Small nations], to the RIVERS, and to the valleys, to the DESOLATE WASTES." [156]; "And the desolate land shall be tilled...This land THAT WAS DESOLATE is become like the garden of Eden: and the WASTE and DESOLATE and ruined cities are become fenced, AND ARE INHABITED...I the Lord build the ruined places, and PLANT that that was DESOLATE." [157]; "After many days thou shalt be visited: in the later years thou shalt come into the land...against the mountains of Israel, which HAVE BEEN ALWAYS WASTE...And thou shalt say, I will go up to the Land of UNWALLED VILLAGES [Towns]; I will go to them THAT ARE AT REST, that DWELL SAFELY, all of them DWELLING WITHOUT WALLS... HAVING NEITHER BARS NOR GATES...to turn thine hand upon the DESOLATE PLACES...NOW INHABITED." [158] "...if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW [This certainly does not mean a return to the Old Palestine or Jerusalem]." [159]
Notice also what the prophet says of the generosity of the children of Israel: Is this not the way American's treat prisoners of war;
"...he answered, thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master [The Jews certainly do not do this in their state, known as Israel today, do they? They systematically beat, kill and starve their captives]." [160]; "And the men which were expressed by name rose up...took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat...to drink... anointed them...carried all the feeble of them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brethren: then they returned to Samaria." [161]; "And went to him... bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the marrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him. Take care of him: and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee." [162]; "If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink." [163] "Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?" [164]; "Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away." [165] "Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth." [166]
Here once again, the scriptures paint a perfect picture of the United States and its people, and in no way is a description of the present day state of Israel and its people. For they torture and murder their prisoners, as we have witnessed in just the past few years. No, they describe America and its people exactly, and not of any other country or people on the face of the earth. If you do not agree then: What other country or people have helped so many, and built their enemies up until they are now a threat to the economic life of America. That this is true and has been recognized by the people of other nations: That Genesis 22:18 has been fulfilled in the people of the United States, and in the foregoing scriptures is impressively expressed by the following:
AMERICAN
by Gordon Sinclair
An editorial presented on Radio Station CFRB, Toronto, Canada, June 5, 1973
"The United States dollar took another pounding on German, French and British exchanges this morning, hitting the lowest point ever known in West Germany. It has declined there by 41 percent since 1971 and this Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least appreciated people in all the earth. As long as sixty years ago, when I first started to read newspapers, I read of floods on the Yellow River and the Yangtze. Who rushed in with men and money to help? The Americans did. They have helped control floods on the Nile, the Amazon, the Ganges and the Niger. Today the rich bottom land of the Mississippi is underwater and no foreign land has sent a dollar to help. Germany, Japan, and to a lesser extent Britain and Italy, were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of these countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States. When the franc was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up, their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris.
���� I was there. I saw it. When distant cities are hit by an earthquake: It is the United States that hurries in to help...Managua, Nicaragua is one of the most recent examples. So far this spring 59 American communities have been flattened by tornadoes. Nobody has helped.
���� The Marshall Plan, the Truman Policy, all pumped billions upon billions of dollars into discouraged�� countries. Now newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent war‑mongering Americans. I'd like to see just one of those countries that is bloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplanes.
|
���� Come on, let's hear it. Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tristar or the Douglas D.C. 10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all the in�ternational lines, except Russia, fly American planes? Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or woman on the moon? You talk about Japanese technocracy and you get radios. You talk about German Technocracy and you get automobiles. You talk about American technocracy and you find men on the moon, not once but several times...and safely home again. You talk about scandals and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everyone to look at. Even their draft dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are here on our streets. Most of them, unless they are breaking Canadian laws, are getting American dollars from Ma and Pa at home to spend here.
���� When the Americans get out of this bind, as they will, who could blame them if they said the hell with the rest of the world. Let someone else by the Israeli bonds. Let someone else build or repair the foreign dams or design foreign buildings that won't shake apart during earthquakes.
���� I can name you 5,000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone else has raced to the Americans when they were in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake. Our neighbors have faced it alone and I'm one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them being kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles.
���� I hope Canada is not one of these. But, there are many smug, self‑righteous Canadians. And finally the American Red Cross was told at its 48th annual meeting in new Orleans this morning that it was broke...Almost anyone can add much to the list of blessings which have come to ALL NATIONS through America. The feeding of hungry people from Belgium to Armenia after World War I, Bundles for Britain during World War II, and the continuing Foreign Aid programs around the world since then. The "Care" packages, Children's Fund, and many other programs in addition to the projects financed by the United States Government. JEHOVAH WAS SURELY SPEAKING OF AMERICA WHEN HE SAID TO ABRAHAM, 'IN THY SEED SHALL ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED.'"
Is it not amazing ‑‑ Others can see that Americans are the Children of Israel; that every promise made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob/Israel, has been, or is currently being fulfilled in the United States and its people; That they ARE the ISRAELITES and that America is Israel, but the American people cannot see it. The prophet clearly spoke the truth, and was talking about the American people, when he uttered the following words: "Hear, ye deaf, and look, ye blind, that ye may see. Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? Who is blind as he that is perfect and blind as the Lord's servant? Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not." [167]
15). Scriptures which describe the United States of America and no other nation.
"Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates: a land of oil olive, and honey; A land wherein thou eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass [The present day state of Israel has none of these things!]." [168]; "For the Lord thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shalt not reign over thee [This certainly does not fit the present day state of Israel. For they are totally dependent upon the money they receive from the United States and its people!]." [169]; "And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee, And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee." [170]
Can you see it yet? These scriptures and those to come, are a perfect description of America. While some countries may fit in part you will find that those countries who do so are one of the Anglo‑Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic and Kindred countries. As we continue, we find further proof: "And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice; I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations...That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the Lord to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not. Therefore the Lord left those nations, without driving them out hastily." [171] "I the God of Israel will not forsake them. I will open RIVERS in high places, and FOUNTAINS in the midst of the valleys: I will make the WILDERNESS a pool of water [Is this not a description of the Irrigation which causes many arid places in America to blossom as a rose?], and the dry land springs of water. I will plant in the WILDERNESS the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together: That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it. Produce your cause, saith the Lord; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob. Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come." [172]
This may not be the place for it, but let's pause to consider for a moment why America is involved, in every generation, in a war of one kind or another? Some will say it is because of man's inhumanity to man, and so it may be in part. Others will say, it is because our people are deceived by their leaders, in both the secular and spiritual field, and so this may also be true in part. But the truth of the matter is: Our Race has been at war for almost six thousand years, and believe it or not, would have been utterly destroyed centuries ago, but for this fact of continually being at war in every generation. You think not! Consider for a moment, if our men did not continually, in every generation, learn to wage war, they would have been destroyed in battle long ago. And this fact was known to God thousands of years ago; so He made preparation for it. He did so in order to keep His promises to Abraham and to keep His Word as related through the prophets down through the ages. This is shown in the following: "Now these are the nations which the Lord left, TO PROVE ISRAEL by them as had not known the wars of Canaan; Only that THE GENERATIONS of the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL MIGHT KNOW, TO TEACH THEM WAR, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof [To teach those who did not know how to make war, to learn to do so]." [173]; "He teacheth my hands to war." [174]; "...seventeen thousand and two hundred soldiers, fit to go out for war and battle...And the number throughout the genealogy of them that were apt to the war and to battle." [175]; "...men of might, and men of war fit for the battle...that were ready armed to the war." [176]; "Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight." [177]
These perfectly fit the United States because in every generation from our country's birth, our men have gone to war; thus learning the art of warfare, and keeping our people ready for war to defend OUR RACE whenever it is necessary. America is further described in the following: "Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows [178]? Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish [179] [Spain] first, to bring thy sons from far...unto the name of the Lord thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel [180], because he hath glorified thee. And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee...thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the gentiles [nations], and that their kings may be brought...The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify THE PLACE OF MY SANCTUARY...and they shall call thee, The city of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel." [181]; "...and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name [Christians]." [182]; "In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers." [183]; "The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name. Thou art my battle ax and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms [This the Jews have NEVER done!]." [184]; "Thus saith the Lord God; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions. And ye shall inherit it...And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, FROM THE GREAT SEA...And the east side...from the border unto THE EAST SEA. And THIS IS THE EAST SIDE. And the south side southward. The west side also shall be THE GREAT SEA." [185]
16). Kings and Queens are to be the fathers and mothers of this latter day nation.
"...kings...thy nursing fathers...Queens thy nursing mothers." [186]
How well this prophecy has been realized, will occur to the mind at once. The term "nursing" applies to infancy. It was in the early history of America that the supervision of royalty was exercised over us. The Kings and Queens of all the countries of the earth sent their sons and daughters and much goods to this New Nation that was and still is ‑‑ so blessed by the God of Heaven. There certainly are no "nursing" kings or queens as fathers or mothers of the present day state of Israel: FOR IT IS A BASTARD STATE WHO'S FATHER IS SATAN!!!
17). IsearL to become a Company of nations.
"As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of MANY NATIONS...for a father of MANY NATIONS have I made thee...and I will MAKE NATIONS of thee, and KINGS shall come out of thee...And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife...she shall be a mother of NATIONS; KINGS of people shall be of her." [187]; "And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; A NATION and A COMPANY OF NATIONS shall be of thee, and KINGS shall come out of thy loins." [188]; "...he also shall become A PEOPLE [A group of persons with common traditional, historical, or cultural ties; in other words a number of different individuals], and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become A MULTITUDE OF NATIONS." [189]; "That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL." [190]
18). The latter day Israel was described as a country remarkable for the number of its majestic rivers.
"He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the RIVER unto the ends of the earth." [191]; "She sent out her boroughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the RIVER." [192]; "I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the RIVERS." [193]; "Woe to the land shadowing with wings [Does not both North and South America resemble an eagles' wings?], which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia...a nation meted [Measured] out and trodden down, whose land the RIVERS have spoiled!" [194]; "But there the glorious Lord will be unto us a place of broad RIVERS and STREAMS; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ships pass thereby." [195]; "Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old, Behold, I will do a NEW thing...I will even make a way in the WILDERNESS, and RIVERS in the desert." [196]; "And I will bring them out from the people and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the RIVERS, and in all the inhabited places of the country." [197]; "...it was a RIVER that I could not pass over." [198] "From beyond the RIVERS of Ethiopia...the ��daughter of my dispersed shall bring mine offering." [199]
The present day state of Israel; known in the scriptures as Palestine, and is bounded by the Mediterranean Sea on the NW, Lebanon on the N, Syria on the NE, Jordan on the E, and the Gulf of Aqaba of the Red Sea and Egypt on the S and SW; area 7,847 sq. mi.; pop. (1988 est.) 4,208,000; Ethnic groups: Jews 3,492,640 (83%), Arab 673,280 (16%), others 42,080 (1%).
The principal RIVER in Palestine is the Jordan, which has its head streams in Syria and Lebanon. The Jordan proper is formed in Lake Hula, in northeastern Israel, and flows south along the Great Rift Valley through the Sea of Galilee and EMPTIES INTO THE DEAD SEA. It does not go to the ends of the earth; IT GOES ONLY TO A DEAD SEA AND STOPS!!! And not only that but only 73 miles of it are within Israeli territory. Other streams, including the Karn, Kishon, Hadera, Yarkon, and Rubin, flow INTERMITTENTLY ‑‑ NONE OF WHICH, NOT EVEN WITH THE INCLUSION OF THE JORDAN, IS SO WIDE THAT ONE WOULD HAVE MADE THE STATEMENT CENTURIES AGO, "IT WAS A RIVER THAT I COULD NOT PASS OVER." Except for the Jordan, which is only about 200 miles in total length, all Israeli rivers are short and dry for at least part of the year.
There are three major lakes on the borders of Israel, and all lie in the Great Rift Valley. The northern most two, Lake Hula and the Sea of Galilee, contain fresh water. The Dead Sea, partly in Israel and partly in Jordan, is a saline lake WITH NO OUTLET. The Mediterranean coast of Israel is low and straight. It has a total length of some 118 miles. Haifa Bay, in the north, is the only major indentation. Israel also has slightly more than 6 miles of coast at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba of the Red Sea.
Compared with the United States the rivers and streams of Israel pale into insignificance. The United States has an area of 3,733,000 sq. miles; pop. (1986 est.) 240,856,000. It has HUNDREDS of RIVERS, 69 of which is over 350 miles in length; and total more than 52,000 miles and does not include their tributaries, some of which are larger under normal conditions than the Jordan at flood time.
The foregoing scriptures are admitted by theologians to refer to the land of restored Israel. Now if that land be the present day state of Israel, then were are the "broad river(s) and stream(s)?" For as has been shown the River Jordan and the other small streams(?) can not possibly answer to the description of "broad river(s) and stream(s)" as related in the scriptures. However, on the other hand, the many mighty and majestic rivers and streams of America fulfill this prophecy on a magnificent scale.
The passage "wherein shall go no galley with oars," is a singular statement. The word "galley," was a long, low, usually single‑decked ship propelled by oars and sails in ancient and medieval times: the oars were usually manned by chained slaves or convicts and in many cases signified a government clipper; sent to exact port‑duties [taxes] from a dependent or conquered people. The United States, unlike Israel of old, has never, since it became a nation, paid tribute or taxes to any foreign government. In fact, during the term of Andrew [Andy] Jackson, there was a saying and it was even stamped upon a medal; "millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute."
19). Israel to have a Davidic King ‑ a perpetual monarchy within Israel.
"He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish [Archaic variation of establish] the throne of his kingdom FOR EVER. I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee. And THINE HOUSE and THY KINGDOM SHALL BE ESTABLISHED FOR EVER before thee: THY THRONE SHALL BE ESTABLISHED FOR EVER. According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. Then went king David in, and sat before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God; but thou hast spoken also OF THY SERVANT'S HOUSE FOR A GREAT WHILE TO COME." [200]; "He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I WILL ESTABLISH THE THRONE OF HIS KINGDOM OVER ISRAEL FOR EVER." [201]; "Ought ye not to know that the Lord God of Israel gave THE KINGDOM OVER ISRAEL TO DAVID FOR EVER, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt [202]?" [203]; "I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rack of my salvation. Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth [204]. My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and HIS THRONE AS THE DAYS OF HEAVEN. If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; If they break my statutes and keep not my commandments; Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. Nevertheless my loving kindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne, and HIS THRONE AS THE SUN before me. It [The Throne] SHALL BE ESTABLISHED FOR EVER AS THE MOON [Therefore, since the sun and the moon are still in existence: SO MUST DAVID'S THRONE STILL BE IN EXISTENCE HERE ON THE EARTH and not in heaven!], and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah." [205]; "And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them." [206]; "For thus saith the Lord; DAVID SHALL NEVER WANT A MAN TO SIT UPON THE THRONE OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL [And for anyone to say this refers to Christ is too stupid for words]...Thus saith the Lord; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne...As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant...Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the Lord hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them. Thus saith the Lord; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them." [207]
There can be no doubt, after reviewing these scriptures; David's throne MUST be still in existence on earth!
20). Charitable character of inhabitants, intelligibility and uniformity of language, to be a characteristic of the latter day Israel.
"And I will give them AN HEART to know me...I am the Lord." [208]; "And I will give them ONE HEART, and I will put a NEW SPIRIT within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them AN HEART of flesh." [209]; "A NEW HEART also will I give you, and a NEW SPIRIT will I put within you...I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh...I will give you AN HEART of flesh." [210]; "But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in NEWNESS OF SPIRIT, and not in the oldness of the letter." [211]; "...for to make in himself of twain one NEW MAN." [212]; "And that ye put on the NEW MAN, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness." [213]
It is clear, these scriptures cannot by any stretch of the imagination refer to Palestine. For the Jews have NEVER been known to be a people with a soft heart; IN FACT THEIR HATRED FOR ALL THE OTHER RACES AND PEOPLE OF THE EARTH KNOWS NO BOUNDS.
The present day state of Israel is presently acting out a policy of genocide against the Palestinian people; nor do they have a uniformity of language, but instead consists of people who speak various tongues.
However, on the other hand, polite manners and a very generous disposition is known everywhere to characterize the American People [Review again the editorial by Mr. Gordon Sinclar]. Whenever disaster strikes anywhere in the world, the American People are the first to respond and send aid, in money manpower, supplies and anything else that is needed. So much so that their generosity is known the world over.
The great generous heart of our country beats a sympathetic response to the sighs and sorrows of all nations. And as far as the English Language is concerned; God said, "For then will I turn to the people a PURE LANGUAGE, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord to serve him with one consent." [214]
|
The uniformity and intelligibility of our language is indeed extra‑ordinary, for there are few countries which have only one language; in fact none come to mind, except for the Anglo‑Saxon countries. Thus it is clearly obvious to any thinking person that this cannot possibly apply to the Jews FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BLOOD THIRSTY LEADERS OF THE PRESENT DAY STATE OF ISRAEL AND THEIR BROTHER JEWS WHO RUN COMMUNIST RUSSIA.
It would seem almost too simple to point out that language is the method by which mankind communicates in nearly every activity of our existence. And our English language is the most perfect and complete ever devised by man. But it does have some flaws, such as those we will demonstrate below. Language is a tool and when the nature of a tool is disregarded, the use of that tool, no matter how constant or widespread, may become shoddy and neglectful. Shoddy usage tends to lead to accidents. And our accidents with regard to the use of language have led to a very confused race of people. Facts that are obvious, however, are often taken for granted; that which is taken for granted long enough, and by enough people, usually becomes widely disregarded.
Like mathematics and logic, language is a substitute system; each system is subjective and abstract, and therefore functionally meaningless until employed in the measurement, explanation, or definition of concrete objects perceived by the senses. A series of numbers mathematically expressed has little or no meaning for the practical man, unless it describes a corresponding group of actual units existing in the real world.
The correctness of this statement probably seems blatantly obvious to most readers, but those whom it strikes this way should consider the current racket surrounding 6,000,000 individuals who were supposedly exterminated during World War II. This in spite of the fact that no concrete proof has ever been offered regarding this so‑called extermination; all too many people "religiously" believe in the "truth" of the allegation.
Abstract mathematics lacking objectively corresponding reality has, in this instance, magically [And there is no other word for it] transformed a lie into a "truth." Sanctimonious protestations to the contrary notwithstanding, logic deals solely with agreement and its agreements can promote the same tyranny of lies as the mathematical instance just mentioned. If this sequence of logical premises is accepted as true, then this conclusion is also true.
It has been asserted by stupid ignorant people that Hannibal and Beethoven were not only "Queers," but were members of the black race. If these assertions were true, then it would have been true, that at one time, the black race would have consisted of a great, cultural civilization. HOWEVER, THESE ASSERTIONS HAVE NEVER BEEN TRUE NOR HAS THE BLACK RACE EVER HAD A GREAT, CULTURAL CIVILIZATION. In fact, it has ONLY been in the United States that they have reached any semblance of a cultural civilization at all.
Now, if two or more individuals agree upon the validity of an assertion, that assertion becomes true, so far as those individuals are concerned. For instance, if two people were to solemnly agree that a magical land called Oz actually existed somewhere, and that all one had to do to get there would be to locate a Yellow Brick Road, then the existence of Oz would be A TRUTH, for those two at least. After all, one can read about Oz in books, several books, and can also be seen in the movies. Now one knows the author would not pull our legs. And we know that pictures, especially moving pictures, don't lie. Do you see how easy it is to convince people something is true when it is not.
So it has been with the SO-CALLED "HOLOCAUST." If we were to keep this "great" truth about the Land of Oz to ourselves, about the worst thing that might happen would be to waste a lot of valuable time ‑‑ trying to find that Yellow Brick Road. And if we were to try and preach this "truth," our friends would probably humor us and quietly mourn the passing of our intellects. On the other hand, countless lives have been lost or destroyed because the general public have accepted as true the lies and assertions regarding the death of 6,000,000 Jews during World War II.
While at the same time the Jews have stolen a country and hundreds of billions of dollars from a deceived world. This has been possible because the Jews own ALL of the major means of communications, radio, television, moving picture industry, news media, publishing houses and etc., so they have had the means to preach their vicious lies about the German people; through the printed page and through falsified pictures.
Thus, the Jews, have proven the old adage "TELL A LIE LONG ENOUGH, LOUD ENOUGH AND PROVIDE SOME PICTURES, MOST WILL COME TO BELIEVE THE LIE IS TRUE." Of course many [But all too few] "thinking" people have come to realize that the 6,000,000 dead Jews and a superior black civilization are both groundless myths and are in fact outright lies. This through the hard evidence of our senses, the careful study of history, and the verifiable data collected by others provide the incontestable facts in this matter. Language can be said to be a doubly‑substitutive system; it is commonly used to convey the statements of logic and mathematics. Therefore, language, if abused, can be doubly destructive.
Some years ago someone humorously defined semantics as "the art of prying facts out of a newspaper." Webster's Collegiate Dictionary says of Semitics: "the study of meanings," then goes on at some length. A condensation of Webster's entire entrance might be: "the study of the relationship between descriptive language and the object describes."
Another quick glance at the earlier parts of this essay should provide the reader with an idea of the importance of such a study: If there is no objective relationship, falsehoods are probably being imposed upon the reader. Also, the sensory evidence, historical study, and verifiable data collected by others mentioned above may be understood as the tools with which the semantical works his science.
The subject of semantics is fascinating as well as useful. However, there is neither time nor space to get further into its domain at this time. There is, however, one artifice of language that often form a blockage to the semanticist who is trying to get at the facts, and that artifice is the "euphemism." Referring again to Webster's Collegiate we find: "Euphemism: the substitution of an agreeable or inoffensive expression for one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant; also: the expression so substituted."
In other words ‑‑ A EUPHEMISM IS SIMPLY A LIE. Of course, the euphemistic lie may often be nothing more than a polite gesture, but it is falsehood nonetheless. Nowadays, however, euphemisms are being more and more widely employed with the single and direct result of destroying our American Civilization.
Insofar as this is concerned we will point out a few prime examples; one comes into contact with these expressions almost every day. "Illegal." This is one of the most dangerous, and obvious, euphemisms going the rounds today. When "illegal" is descriptive of the word "alien," it is euphemistic for the more correct word "outlaw." Illegal aliens have broken the law, are outside of the law, and are therefore outlaws. But Mushheaded "liberals" prefer to, in an effect, disarm the border patrols with the employment of this almost "innocent" euphemism.
"Gay." These disgusting deviate perverts are not gay; they are QUEERS. Earlier generations relied on facts and knew that QUEERS are in total rebellion against God's Will and the natural order of nature ‑‑ God's Laws; thus the descriptive term of "Queer" was accurate. "Rights." In an orderly society, every right has its accompanying responsibility.
It is demonstrably obvious that the various groups and individuals who scream loudest for "rights" wish to take on absolutely no responsibility whatsoever. "Rights" has become a euphemism for "privileges." Everyone knows, however, that a privilege is given and that what is given may be taken away. Therefore the euphemism "rights" is pushed down the throat of Christian Whites.
Therefore, language is merely a tool and like any other tool is neutral by nature; they are only constructive or destructive only as they are used or abused.
So in order that we may protect the perfect language that God Almighty has allowed our Israel people to develop, and to effectively rebuild our great American Civilization, we must insist upon the absolute honesty in our people's use of our language and insist that others do likewise. The false employment of language should be ruthlessly exposed; whenever and wherever it occurs.
21). Jeremiah the prophet spoke directly to and about the United States.
"Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the Lord; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me IN THE WILDERNESS, IN A LAND THAT WAS NOT SOWN. Israel was holiness unto the Lord, and the first fruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the Lord. Hear ye the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone for from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain? Neither said they, Where is the Lord that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, THROUGH A LAND THAT NO MAN PASSED THROUGH, AND WHERE NO MAN DWELT? And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land and made mine heritage an abomination. The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit." [215]; "Go and proclaim these words toward the north and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever. Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the Lord. Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the Lord, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Lord: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more. At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart. In those days [This shows these scriptures to be for a future time] the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers. But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me. Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the Lord. A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the Lord their God. Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the Lord our God. Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel." [216]; "For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men. As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich [It is a well known fact that the so‑called "Ministers" the Clergy of Organized Religion, who are nothing but Jewish bought Prostitutes and Prophets of Baal receive hundreds of millions of dollars each year from their deceived followers]. They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; The prophets prophecy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so." [217]; "Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return. I hearkened and heard, but they spake no aright: no man repented him of his wickedness saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle. Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the Lord. How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain. The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them? Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace." [218]; "Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, the prophets say unto them. Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine [Is this not what our so‑called Ministers, who are the Clergy of Organized Religion ‑‑ which are nothing but modern day prophets of Baal; do as they constantly neutralize our people; by teaching the false doctrine of the Rapture? That they will be taken off the earth before the great day of the Lord?]; but I will give you assured peace in this place. Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of naught, and the deceit of their heart. Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall these prophets be consumed. And the people to whom they prophesy." [219]
It should probably be inserted here; That many professed "Ministers" have for years now in so‑called "Bible Studies," "Revivals," "Pulpits," and "Books," telling their deceived flocks with an air of authority which almost amounts to a claim to be Divine inspiration, all about a so‑called "Secret Rapture" of Christians, the Saints of the New Testament and what is to take place on this earth after they are gone.
According to their theory the Lord is to come SECRETLY for His Saints: they are then to be "Raptured" to meet Him in the air without the world knowing that anything is happening; all who are unprepared, UNSAVED, are to be left on earth in an unsaved state; then an individual known as the "Anti‑Christ" is to make his appearance, to receive the power of the "beast" and then to become a world dictator; revive the old Roman Empire as a ten‑kingdomed confederacy, and to rule over it, to make a covenant with the Jews to allow them to set up again their temple worship in Jerusalem, and at the end of a three‑and‑a‑half years to break the covenant and persecute them. Then after another three‑and‑a‑half years have expired, Christ is to come back a third time with His Saints to destroy the Anti‑Christ and set up His reign of a thousand years on this earth. The Clergy teach these things in as much detail as if they were actually taught it in the Bible, and all too many men have got the impression that the Bible actually does contain such false doctrines. They overlook several important things:
��������������������������������������������������������������������� THE RAPTURE THEORY
"Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye (Judeo-Christian preachers, ministers, pastors, priests and etc. Hereafter called teachers for brevity)� there HUNT THE SOULS TO MAKE THEM FLY, and I will tear them from your arms, and (I) WILL LET THE SOULS GO, EVEN THE SOULS THAT YE (Judeo-Christian teachers) HUNT TO MAKE THEM FLY. Your Kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people (Israel Christian people) out of your (Judeo-Christian) hands, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the Lord."

We will demonstrate that "The Rapture Theory" is false, therefore, you will ask: "What can we expect from prophecy for our future? What about the 'great tribulation' which is constantly on the lips of the Judeo-Christian teachers? What do we look for?"
As most Christians know by now, the English word "rapture" does not occur in the Bible, but it conveys nearly the same meaning as the Greek word in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 which vividly describes how the Lord will snatch us off the earth and into the air to meet Him when He returns.
They postulate a secret rapture prior to, or in the middle of the "great tribulation." But whether they place it before or in the middle doesn't matter; the foundation of the problem is with the "great tribulation" itself. If their "great tribulation" doesn't occur, then their theory of the rapture is wrong, in which case there will be only one snatching away, when Jesus Christ returns to judge the world. Therefore, we must first look at this "great tribulation" first because on it the secret rapture either stands or falls.
Where do the false Judeo-Christian teachers get the idea of a seven year tribulation period that will be the greatest time of trouble the world has ever known? The idea originally came from the Jews who would not accept the fact that God had judged them and had terminated their rule in A.D. 70. They wouldn't accept the fact that the Messiah had come and their religious leaders had put Him to death. They wouldn't accept the writings of the Apostles and others which became the New Testament canon. They were determined to interpret history and the future in the light of the Talmud rather than in the light of the advent of Christ and the New Covenant.
Some of the Talmudists escaped the carnage at Jerusalem. They established a school at Jabneh and set about reworking the Scriptures (Torah - the Old Testament) for a standardized manuscript which could be red in the synagogues and produce unity among their brethren. (Many believe that these reworked Scriptures were the basis for Jerome's Old Testament translation in the 4th century, and also the Massoretic Text published in A.D. 916 from which we got all of our Protestant Old Testament translations in the West. The one exception is the Septuagint (LXX) which was translated from the Hebrew into Greek ca. 250-200 B.C. The LXX, therefore, was not subject to the reworking by the Talmudists at Jabneh. This may account for the differences in the book of Esther). Because they would not accept God's New covenant they began to think in terms of a brighter future for their religion (Pharisaism/Talmudism and at a later date just Judaism). There arose the idea of a millennium of the future when the Jews would reign over the world.
They used Isaiah 2:3 as a proof text for this. They still use it. They continued to use the Old Testament prophecies as if nothing had ever happened, and told people that they applied only to the Jews. The prophecies were simply pushed into the future. Thus, what eventually turned into modern Judeo-Christianity was born.
The "great tribulation" idea came primarily from all the prophecies in the Old Testament which spoke of a time of trouble for Israel and for the world, for example Deuteronomy 4:30-31; Isaiah 2:10,19,21; Jeremiah 30:7 to name a few. Some of these prophecies, such as Isaiah 2:10,19 and 21, indeed pointed to the end of time when Christ shall return and judge all people. This is vividly described in Revelation 6:15: "And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and the rich men and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bond man, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?" [221]
But not all of the Old Testament prophecies of trouble and woe were intended for the end of time. Such is the case with Jeremiah 30:7 and Daniel 9:27 and 12:1. These point to A.D. 70 when Rome besieged Jerusalem. And IT IS RIGHT AT THIS POINT THAT THE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN TEACHERS MAKE A VERY IMPORTANT MISTAKE.
They break off the 70th "week" of the seventy sevens in Daniel 9 and project it into the distant future, even beyond our present time, and claim that it predicts the seven year tribulation which will occur just prior to the second advent of Christ. They then equate that prophecy with the great tribulation described by Jesus in the 24th chapter of Matthew. Let's look carefully at their error. The breaking off and projection of that 70th "week" in Daniel 9 is totally unwarranted. The reason why they break it off from its chronological order is because IT ACTUALLY PREDICTED THE END OF ISRAEL AND THE RATIFICATION OF THE NEW COVENANT!
Daniel's complete "seventy weeks" prophecy foretold the first advent of Christ, and in its natural order the 70th "week" predicted the death of Christ, the end of temple sacrifices, the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem, and the establishment of the new covenant. There is little wonder that THE TALMUDISTS HAD TO GET RID OF THE 70TH "WEEK" BY CLAIMING THAT IT WAS MEANT FOR THE DISTANT FUTURE!
We can see that most who teach these errors to Christians are unaware of what they're doing. They are simply repeating what they have been taught or what they've read. As for the rest who should know better because they are well trained. We can't get inside their minds to know why they act as they do. But we are convinced that there are those who are deliberately propagating these errors for the purpose of protecting an apostate religion and an interloper in the Middle East.
The 70th "week" of Daniel 9 must be left in its place! If it is left in its chronological position, Bible students will see that the seven year long "great tribulation" assumed by the Judeo-Christian teachers to occur just prior to Christ's second advent will vanish into thin air; it will not happen. As for the time of great tribulation predicted by Jesus in Matthew 24, that was fulfilled, ending in A.D. 70. We know this because the account given by Luke 21:20 proves it. Jesus told the Christians to flee to the mountains when they saw Jerusalem surrounded by armies. This was the abomination of desolation referred to in Matthew 24, and the one of which Daniel wrote. History tells us that the Christians obeyed their Lord's instruction, fled to Pella and escaped the great tribulation.
Another WONDERFUL PROOF is available. When Jesus foretold the destruction of the temple as recorded in Matthew 24, He said this was the abomination spoken of by Daniel the prophet! did you get that? Jesus Christ Himself said that the 70th "week" of Daniel 9 was to be fulfilled when the abomination of desolation would come upon Jerusalem! Read Matthew 24:15 where He referred to Daniel 9:26 and 27 -- to the events predicted for the 70th "week."
The abomination of desolation began with the appearance of the Roman army surrounding Jerusalem [222] in A.D. 68. Obviously, the event will not happen just prior to Christ's second advent! But because the Judeo-Christian teachers have already committed themselves to the dismembering of the 70th "week" of Daniel 9, they must in this instance be consistent by claiming that Christ's prediction is also to be shoved into the future.
Typical of the writers who have shoved the 70th "week" of Daniel into the indeterminable future are Thomas McCall and Zola Levitt in their book Satan in the Sanctuary, Moody Press, 1973. The book postulates that a third temple will be built in Jerusalem and calls it the "Tribulation Temple." They say the Jews will again offer up sacrifices to God. Some say the Jews are even now training priests for that future time. We have even heard astounding reports that some Christians have joined an underground group to blow up the Dome of the Rock to prepare for the new temple.
One such organization is the Temple Mount Faithful, founded by a former Israeli army captain, Gershon Salomon. Believe it or not, some Christians and quasi-Christians believe they can help God'[s prophecies, or what they believe to be God's prophecies, come true, by means of violence! This new temple is supposed to be the one spoken of by Daniel in chapter 9 and by Jesus in Matthew 24, where anti-Christ is supposed to impose the abomination of desolation at the halfway point of the seven year "great tribulation." McCall and Levitt admit that THEIR THESIS IS BASED LARGELY UPON THE SEVENTY "WEEKS" PROPHECY OF DANIEL on page 44 of their book.
Let's look at this word abomination: It is #8251 in Strong's Concordance.
abomination...
Greek #8251. shiqquwts, shik-koots'; or shiqquts, shik-koots'; from 8262; disgusting, i.e, filthy; espec. idolatrous or (concr.) an idol:-abominable filth (idol, -ation), detestable (thing).
Greek #8262. shaqats, shaw-kats'; a prim. root; to be filthy, i.e. (intens.) to loathe, pollute:-abhor, make abominable, have in abomination, detest, X utterly.
desolation....
Greek #8074. shamem, shaw-mame'; a prim. root; to stun (or intrans. grow numb), i.e. devastate or (fig.) stupefy (both usually in a passive sense):-make amazed, be astonied, (be an) astonish (-ment), (be, bring into, lay, lie, make) desolate (-ion, places), be destitute, destroy (self), (lay, lie, make)��� ��������������waste, wonder.
There are several reasons why the Judeo-Christian teachers project the 70th "week" of Daniel into the future. First, if they leave it intact it proves that God terminated Israel in the mideast in A.D. 70 and the New covenant was ratified. Secondly, as we have already stated, if left alone it is anathema (death) to their whole futuristic scheme for the Jews and a seven year tribulation. Their use of specious reasoning in their grammatical construction of verses 26 and 27 of the Messoretic Text, and their willingness to stake everything on the "seventy weeks of years" hypothesis, are appalling. Let's look first at verse 26 and 27.
Verse 26: "And after three score and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary: and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined." (AV (KJV))
Verse 27: "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."� ��� Note the first part of verse 27: "...he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week..." Who is it that will confirm "the covenant with many" for one week? To what covenant does this refer? The Judeo-Christian teachers say that the "prince that shall come" of verse 26 is anti-Christ will make a treaty favorable (temporarily) with the Jews, and that it will be broken by anti-Christ halfway through the seven year "great tribulation."
Their thesis rests upon their hyperliteral misconstruction of the grammar of the Massoretic Text. Instead of letting the "he" refer back to Messiah Who is the central figure of the entire prophecy, they attach it to the prince who they say is anti-Christ. If we read the passage in the Greek Old Testament we see the meaning more clearly.
Verse 26: "And after the sixty-two weeks, the anointed one shall be destroyed, and there is no judgment in him: and he shall destroy the city and the sanctuary with the prince that is coming: they shall be cut off with a flood, and to the end of the war which is rapidly completed he shall appoint the city to desolations."
Verse 27: "And one week shall establish the covenant with many: and in the midst of the week my sacrifice and drink-offering shall be taken away: and on the temple shall be the abomination of desolations; and at the end of the time an end shall be put to the desolation."
Do you see the difference? Even in the English translation of the Massoretic Text we can see that the "he" of verse 27 should refer back to Messiah in verse 26. But in the Greek Old Testament, which was not "worked over" by the Talmudists at Jabneh, it becomes obvious. Messiah is the One who confirms the covenant (the new covenant - New Testament), and Messiah used Vespasian (the prince, v.26) and the Roman army to destroy Jerusalem and the temple. Vespasian's son Titus actually finished the job. So you see, the events predicted in Daniel 9:24-27 have ALREADY COME TO PASS, and the seven year "great tribulation" of the future postulated by the Judeo-Christian teachers simply WILL NOT HAPPEN!
God has not planned another temple for the Israelites and certainly not for the Jews, and if the Jews build one it will not be a fulfillment of Old Testament or New Testament prophecy for the restoration of Israel. Such a temple could only be for the seat of the beast system referred to and described in the book of Revelation. Christians, since the first advent of Christ, have been the Temple of God, and is recorded in Scripture as such: "If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, WHICH TEMPLE YE ARE." [223]
Many are shocked at the audacity of those who change the Scriptures to deny the very words of our Lord in order to further the cause of Talmudism (Judaism)! One well known radio and television Bible Judeo-Christian teacher, in explaining the phrase "to anoint the Most Holy" [224], wrote: "[The phrase] definitely refers to the Holy of Hollies in a reconstructed temple. The Jews will have a new place of worship at the beginning of the millennial age. It will be acknowledged and anointed by God, just as He sanctified the tabernacle and the temple built by Solomon." What an unmitigated liar!
Did we not state earlier that the cardinal error of Judeo-Christian teachers is that they dethrone Christ and enthrone and apostate religion? This well known Bible Judeo-Christian teacher, like so many others, has merely regurgitated the ideas of certain "scholars" who warped the Scriptures in order to follow the chillastic strategists. We pray that these people will re-examine their claims, repent and change their actions. As for the treaty with "Israel" which anti-Christ is supposed to break three and one-half years into the "great� tribulation," the figure "three and one-half" comes from literitalizing the word "midst" in verse 27, i.e., from their equating this "midst" with three and one-half, the mid point of seven years. They also equate this with "time, times, and half a time" and with "1260 days" and with "42 months" elsewhere in Scripture.
But the word "midst" in Daniel 9:26 and 27 does not mean exactly three and one-half years. In fact, the whole idea of "70 weeks of years," i.e., that the seventy sevens of Daniel 9 equal 490 years, doesn't come from the best scholarship. The best scholarship says that the literal language is "sevens seventy" and is an intentionally indefinite designation of a period of time. This is akin to the teaching of Jesus about forgiveness. We are to forgive seventy times seven, or just keep on forgiving. We wonder that the Judeo-Christian teachers don't have us keep a log of our acts of forgiveness so we can know� when we are finished with the numbers.
When we view Daniel's prophecy in this light, i.e., that "sevens seventy" was never intended to add up to 490 years, and that the 490 years were not divided into seven year parts, we can readily see that the end of the prophecy occurred in A.D. 70. If you do not perceive this clearly, we suggest that you go back and study it again and read the Scriptures very carefully, and if possible use a Strong's or Young's Concordance to help you.
Refinements of the chiliastic (millennial) doctrine first formulated by Talmudists didn't appreciably occur until the early 1800s when a segment of the Christian community began to talk about a secret rapture. This was convenient for the chiliasts (or were they the brains behind it?) because it allowed them to incorporate this new idea with their own projections of Old Testament prophecies. Thus, we now have the (finalized?) teachings of the Judeo-Christian teachers prophecy people, a future secret rapture of Christians, then seven years of great tribulation, then the millennium. The whole doctrine gets rid of the Christians on earth, puts the Jews back into prominence, and saves all of "Israel."
We are ready to acknowledge the brilliance of their thinking, albeit an anti-Christ ploy. Why do we say it's an anti-Christ method of operation? Don't these people acknowledge Christ as Messiah and position Him as king during the millennium? The answer lies in several parts. First, those who ignorantly teach these errors are not consciously part of the anti-Christ effort. Secondly, those who are well trained and teach these errors fall into two categories: (1) One containing those who honestly believe the doctrine but whose reasoning processes have failed, and (2) The other containing those who are loyal to the Jews and consciously promote their causes.
There's another group of hard core strategists who are using the chiliastic doctrine in order in order to neutralize as many Christians as possible. This has worked very well, because Christians in the United States have tacitly approved the billions and billions of dollars that have gone into the making of, and the preservation of, the political state of "Israel" in the Middle East. While on the one hand Christians decry their taxes being used for anti-Christian or anti-First Amendment causes (abortion, evolutionism, parochial school bussing, etc.), they have never to our knowledge opposed the billions given to the religious-political foreign country whose government denies the free exercise of evangelical Christianity within its borders. Christians who proselytize in that Jewish State are subject to criminal prosecution. Have you ever wondered why evangelists never conducts a crusade in Israel? It is because of a law used frequently in the Zionist country known as Israel, which became common with the passage on December 25, 1977, of Israel's infamous "Anti‑Missionary Law," which the Knesset passed on Christmas Day so it would be perfectly clear against whom it was directed. IT IS A STATUTE WHICH DECREES A PRISON TERM OF UP TO FIVE YEARS FOR ANYONE ATTEMPTING TO PROSELYTIZE A JEW AWAY FROM HIS FAITH.
ANTI‑MISSIONARY LAW 5738‑1977: Strictly speaking, "proselytizing" under this law involves a gift, no matter how small (such as a tract) given to a Jew by a Christian. Under Israeli law it is a crime to "give or promise to give money, the equivalent of money or any other material benefit in order to entice a person to change his religion." Yet realistically, the word "proselytize" is much more loosely interpreted. As a case in point, evangelical Christians showed a film about the second coming of Christ in Jerusalem's largest hotel, the Shalom. This outraged Israel's chief rabbi, Yitzhak Kolitz, who forbade them to further "proselytize." However, the manager reassured the Christians that "they are welcome if they do not violate the law." [225] Such ambiguity keeps Christians in Israel on edge, vulnerable to accusations that they violate the law. Speaking in defense of evangelicals, Charles Kopp, Chairman of the United Christian Council in Israel, said such Christians� "do not engage in proselytizing...we do not give out leaflets in the streets or witness at our job [in Israel]." [226]
The government remains suspicious, and ANTI‑CHRISTIAN! Daniel Rossing, head of the Department of Christian Churches for the Israeli Ministry of Religious Affairs, summarized his government's position: "The government, by all available means, discourages missionary activity." [227] Proponents say this law is vital to the survival of Israel because so many young Jews are being seduced away from the fold, largely by Christianity. The severity of the sentence, they argue, is warranted because such a theft of a Jewish soul is tantamount to genocide, or the extinction of a (sic) race. "The Jews were once a sub‑type of the Mediterranean race, but they have mixed with other peoples until THE NAME JEW HAS LOST ALL RACIAL MEANING." [228]
Yet Judaism resents the encroachment of Christianity not just in Israel, but throughout the world. With 40% of American Jewish boys marrying Christian girls, and the Jewish birth rate not keeping up with the rest of humanity, Jewish leaders are desperate that the physical and spiritual unity of Jews be preserved. They are concerned that apathy, secularism, and materialism, coupled with intermarriage and conversion to other religions, could do more to threaten Judaism than all the pogroms of history.
Considering such a mind set against Christianity, we may understand why Christian evangelists have NEVER held a crusade in the State of Israel. They have held many meetings throughout the Soviet bloc and even in Russia, yet not in Israel. Despite the feinted friendliness, and appearance of almost worship of such Christian leaders and the Israeli tourist industry, the fact remains that all religious affairs of the state of Israel are controlled by the chief rabbinate in Jerusalem, who enforces the strictly orthodox Jewish point of view.
The result: ALTHOUGH ISRAEL PROCLAIMS ITSELF THE ONLY REAL DEMOCRACY IN THE MIDDLE EAST, IN MATTERS OF RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IT IS MORE INFLEXIBLY ANTI‑CHRISTIAN THAN EVEN HARDENED COMMUNIST COUNTRIES! It is our considered opinion that if the hard core strategists succeed in their quest for world dominion, they will drop all pretenses of belief in, or allowing of, the idea of a millennial kingdom. They are simply keeping quiet about it for now because it is to their advantage to have Christians pave the way for them. In the meantime, millions of Christians are doing just exactly that.
The Rapture Theory is probably best described by the C.I. Scofield Bible and is as follows:
1). At any time there may take place the "Rapture," the sudden noiseless, and invisible removal from the world of all true Christians, to meet the Lord in the air. Simultaneously will take place the resurrection of all the redeemed who shall have died by that time, of all the past ages.
2). Although there is not a single true believer left in the world, this event will have such a remarkable effect that many hitherto unbelieving, or only nominal Christians, will turn to the Lord. These form the group called "the tribulation saints." They will begin to preach "the gospel of the kingdom," which is not the old gospel of the grace of God unto salvation, but an announcement of the imminence of the "kingdom," i.e., the earthly rule of Christ. It is thus not a continuation of the Christian message, but a resumption of the preaching of John the Baptist.
3). Immediately now appears the "Beast" of Revelation, the antichrist, who will bear rule both in church and state, throughout the world.
4). At about this time, also, will take place the regathering of Israel, including the Ten Tribes, who, Scofield teaches, are still preserved somewhere as an independent unit, known to God. To these, together with those we usually call "The Jews" the land of Palestine will be restored, according to the "Palestinian Covenant."
5). With these restored Israelites and Jews the antichrist will make a "Seven-year covenant" for the re-building of the temple in Jerusalem, and the re-institution of the Levitical sacrifices.
6). In the midst of the said seven-year period, i.e., after three years and a half, the antichrist will repudiate his promise, and will demand for himself divine worship.
7). All the "tribulation saints" and many faithful "Jews" not yet Christians will refuse to render such blasphemous and idolatrous worship, and they will therefore be subject to a terrible persecution called "the great tribulation."
8). At the end of this period, all nations will come up against Jerusalem to battle, and will almost win. They will take part of the city, but a great earthquake shall cleave the mount of Olives and a remnant will flee into the cleft for safety.
9). This is the "Battle of Armageddon" frequently referred to in the Scofield notes, although only once in the Scriptures. Christ will come down at this point with a heavenly army, as in Revelation 19, and will overthrow the hostile forces.
This appearance of Christ will be visible to the world, and is called "The Revelation," in contrast with His coming seven years before, which is "The Rapture."
10). Now occurs the judgment of Matthew 25, that of "the sheep and the goats" which according to Scofield, is not an individual judgment, but of nations, to determine which of them shall be allowed to survive and to have part in the millennial blessings.
11). Thereupon is to follow the conversion of the remaining Jews, who then will become missionaries to the rest of the world.
12). At this time take place another resurrection, called by this school the "second stage" of the first resurrection. Now are raised to life the "tribulation saints" who were martyred by the Beast.
13). At last come the establishment of the millennial kingdom, not by persuasion but by force. Thus Christ bears rule over the Jews, who bear rule over the rest of the world.
14). During this period the temple foreseen by Ezekiel is to be built, and the sacrifices prescribed by him will be offered. The Mosaic legislation and Sermon on the Mount will be the law of the Kingdom and that period.
15). After 1,000 years of such rule, there will occur a revolt of Gog and Magog, the resurrection of the wicked, the last judgment, and the beginning of the eternal state.
We are presenting this study because of a predominant FALSE TEACHING of a pre-tribulation, fly-away rapture, Christians managing to get out off the earth before all the trouble breaks loose on planet earth. Unfortunately, this is simply not in God's word, and if you will do a careful study along with us, we hope to be able to present from God's Word the truth about these matters and to dispel this rumor, THIS LIE, THIS DECEPTION as the Scriptures refers to it, right from God's Word. There will be many things that we are going to trust you, given references, will study and ferret out for yourself. We will hit the high points and cover the things that are absolutely necessary, which should leave you with enough documentation from God's Word.
We advise you again, don't listen to us or to any other man. Trust God's Word and it alone, for in these end times it is the only ark that will bring you through. it is the ark of the end times: God's Word. We are attempting to help you put on the whole armor of God: "Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." [229]
principalities...
Greek #746. arche, ar-khay'; from 756; (prop. abstr.) a commencement, or (concr.) CHIEF (in various applications of order, time, place or rank):-beginning, corner, (at, the, the) first (estate), magistrate, power, principality, principle, rule.
Greek #756. archomat. ar'-khom-ahee; mid. of 757 (through the impl. of precedence); to commence (in order of time):-(rehearse from the) begin (-ning).
Greek #757. apXwarcho, ar'kho; a prim. verb; to be first (in political rank or power):-reign (rule) over.
We can see clearly with this, that the verse is speaking of the leaders of the people. Such as our President, Congress members and etc. Let's lay a little more ground work, and start in 1 Corinthians 15, and touch on those very scriptures that the Judeo-Christian teachers love to use to teach you to fly away, only we are going to take the time, because they don't bother, and have been blinded by Almighty God so that they can't rightly divide the word, according to the original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts. We are going to do so, so that you might come out of this false teaching of a fly-away rapture before it is too late.
We hope to challenge your thinking. Go right ahead and check out what we say, don't take our word for it. It would, as we have said time and again, if you have a King James Bible and a Strong's Concordance. With these two tools you will be able to study even back to the original meanings and translations from the original Hebrew and Greek, as they were in the manuscripts. We are going to pick up with verse 35, specifically because we want to address and nail down the subject that Paul was talking about. Remember, you always want to keep track of the subject and the object, otherwise you are taking the Scriptures out of context. "But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?" [230]
Paul, here, is establishing the question, the subject that is being discussed: the dead and how they are raised up. Now this does not indicate the dead in Christ or the dead who died without Christ. There is no mention there of the fact of whether or not they have been saved, or that they have died in Christ. Simply, they want to know how the dead are raised up. That is the subject. "Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die." [231]
In other words, like in agriculture, the seed must fall into the ground and die before it can be reborn, or born anew. (Which proves that this Born Again Christian is a false teaching of the anti-Christs). Likewise it shall also be with the flesh, that is what Paul is alluding to. Again, the subject is how are the dead raised up? "And that which thou sowest, THOU SOWEST NOT THAT BODY THAT SHALL BE, but bare again, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the festival is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. SO ALSO IS THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body." [232]
Now, why start here with a discussion that is revolving around the false teaching of a pre-tribulation flying away? Well, because number one, you have to determine what becomes of the flesh, and at what time one takes on his spiritual body. So like Paul, we want to lay a good firm foundation upon which to base this study. "And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly." [233]
There is going to be an interesting fact that comes out of this, that again falls right in line with the things that these false Judeo-Christian teachers and false prophets would teach you concerning flying away before all the trouble begins. These are very important verses, remember these! "Now this I say, brethren, THAT FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD; NEITHER DOTH CORRUPTION INHERIT INCORRUPTION." [234]
One of the first things these Judeo-Christian false teachers will tell you is that the millennium is for the Jews, the so-called Jews, for the rebuilding of the temple, that� this is their time, these thousand years. This is utter nonsense, because there will be no flesh in the millennium: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. That is what the word says. I don't know why they say what they do. You see, Revelation 11:15 will make mention of the fact that at the seventh trump, the farthest trump out, the last trump, that the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ. "And the� seventh angel sounded, and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever." [235]
You see, it is at that time that Jesus the Christ, Yeshua Messiah returns; and it is at that time we are changed, as we will find out as we go through God's Word. Keep in mind 1 Corinthians 15:50: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. "Behold I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed." [236] Check out the word "all." Realize this is not talking about saved people only, those who believe in Christ, Repented, been Baptized and have received Him as their personal Lord and Savior, but rather all, meaning all inclusive, every one.
all...
Greek 3956. pas, pas; includ. all the forms of declension; appear. a prim. word; all, any, every, the whole:-all (manner of, means), alway (-s), any (one), X daily, + ever, every (one, way), as many as, + no (-thing), X thoroughly, whatsoever, whole whosoever.
Again, we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. So what did Paul just say? He is showing us a secret: At the time that Jesus returns, not all of us will have fallen asleep (died), but we shall all be changed. Not just those who name the name of Christ, but all souls. All the souls that God has created that have come through this earth age shall be changed. Now this next verse is one of the favorite phrases that goes along with 1 & 2 Thessalonians, that they love to use to teach you that you're going to fly away. "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." [237]
Now when does this happen? At the last trump. Not the� first, second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth trump, but the last trump, the farthest trump out. Again, see Revelation 11:13. If you can read the book of Revelation, you will find that the seventh trump is that last trump, the farthest� trump out. Reading and understanding the book of Revelation is something the Judeo-Christian false teachers and prophets of today cannot do. They cannot reveal the� simple straight forward truths that are in it, but rather have to imagine all kinds of things to pass along to you that are simply not in God's word. "He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart..." [238]
Check out what the last trump means in the Greek.
last...
Greek 2078. eschatos, es'-khat-os; a superi. prob. from Grk 2182 (in the sense of contiguity); farthest, final (of place or time):-ends of, last, latter end, lowest, uttermost.
It is in the twinkling of an eye, at that last trump: For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and WE SHALL BE CHANGED. We being those who are alive� at the time of His coming. "For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this moral must put on immortality." [239]
This corruptible, or flesh body, must put on incorruptible, or spiritual body, and this mortal must put on immortality. Now what does mortal mean? Mortal from the Greek means liable or able to die.
mortal...
Greek 2349. thnetos, thnay-tos'; from Grk 2348, liable to die:-mortal (-ity).
So what is Paul saying? He is saying at that time, at the last trump, the seventh trump, the flesh, or corruptible body must be put aside and the incorruptible, or the spiritual body taken on, and this mortal must put on immortality. Now what is he saying? He is saying that no flesh will enter the kingdom of God, which will be present with man on earth [240], at the time Jesus Christ has actually returned, the flesh shall be changed to spiritual bodies, and the mortal, meaning liable or able to die, must put on immortality.
There will be two classifications of people in the millennium, none of which will be flesh. All will be spiritual bodies, but there will be those that have mortal souls, that is, liable to die, and there will be those that have immortal souls, not liable to die. Why? Do you recall in the book of Revelation where you read: "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: ON SUCH THE SECOND DEATH HATH NO POWER, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ and shall reign with him a thousand years." [241]
It is obvious then that if the second death hath power over some, they are still mortal. Though they have a spiritual body, their souls are still liable to die. After all, what did God say? "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." [242]
It is the Father who is able to destroy both body and soul. He ultimately will cast those who fall short, who rebel, who do not receive the salvation He has provided, into the lake of fire after they have been judged according to their works at the end of the millennium.
During the millennium they will be taught that unfortunately will have to be another lecture for another time. But just as a hint, read Ezekiel 44. It will tell you about what will be going on during the millennium, who will do the teaching, and who will do the learning.
A quick recap of what have just covered: It is very important, you must get this. 1 Corinthians 15:50, FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD, neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. There will be no flesh in the millennium. 1 Corinthian 15:51, behold, I show you a mystery, we shall not all sleep, not all of us will die; but we shall all be changed. Everyone will receive a spiritual body, and lay aside the flesh [243], in a moment, in the twinkling of the eye, at the last trump, not at the beginning of the tribulation, not during the middle of the tribulation, but at the last trump, we shall be changed. Now one would think that is plain enough for anyone to see.
How there can be so many people out there who would deceive God's children, who would deceive you into thinking that you are going to fly away and escape that which comes upon this earth in this end generation. Nonetheless it is a very prevalent teaching. It is one of the biggest deceptions of today! Well, they are going to fly out of here alright, but it isn't going to be to Jesus; it is going to be to anti-Christ, instead of Jesus. Check it out in the Greek, anti-Christ means instead of Christ, for he is first to come, and not Jesus, as we shall learn as we continue on.
antichrist...
Greek #500: antichristos, an-tee'-khris-tos; from 473 and 5547; an opponent of the Messiah:-antichrist.
Greek #473: anti, an-tee'; a prim. particle; opposite, i.e. instead or because of (rarely in addition to):-for, in the room of. Often used in composition to denote contrast, requital, substitution, correspondence, etc.
Let's go now to 1 Thessalonians 4, and pick up another of their favorite teachings and find out what God really has to say. Again, do not take our word or any man's word for these things, check them out for yourself. Prove us wrong if you can. "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope." [244]
Remember to always pin down the subject and the object. Always know what is being talked about. The object established in verse 13 is concerning them that are asleep (dead).
asleep...
Greek 2837. Koiman, koy-mah'-o; from Grk. 2748; to put to sleep, i.e. (pass. or refled.) to slumber, fig. to decease:-(be a-, fall a-, fall on) sleep, be dead.
In other words, people who have died. Paul does not want us to be ignorant about those who have died. "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him." [245]
Now don't read over this. Here, Paul is being more specific. Those that have died in Christ, God WILL BRING WITH HIM. Why? Because they are already with Him. When the body dies and the silver cord parts, THE SPIRIT OR INTELLECT OF YOUR SOUL DEPARTS, AND RETURNS TO HIM WHO MADE IT. "Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and THE SPIRIT SHALL RETURN UNTO GOD WHO GAVE IT." [246]
This is why God bring them with Him. They are already with Him. They are not conscious as the Scriptures attest, but their SPIRIT is with Him. "For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead (those who are asleep) in Christ shall rise first." [247]
archangel...
Greek 743. archaggelos, ar-khang'-el-os; from 757 and 32; a chief angel:-archangel.
With what trump? With the last trump, the seventh trump, as it is referred to in 1 Corinthians 15:52 and Revelation 11:15. "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." [248]
This is what they love to refer to as the rapture. Now remember, the word "rapture" is not in God's word, you won't find it. What God's word says is we that are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them (those who have died and their spirit has gone on to be with the Father) in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air.
This is what the false Judeo-Christian teachers and prophets base the rapture theory on: That we are caught up in the air, some kind of secret taking away. This is not what is being said. What does being "caught up in the air? mean in the Greek?" It means caught up in the breath of life; that changing talked about in 1 Corinthians 15:51-53, in the twinkling of an eye, we shall all be changed. When the corruptible shall put on incorruption.
air...
Greek #109: aer, ah-ayr'; from semi (to breathe unconsciously, i.e. respire; by analogy to blow); "air" (as naturally circumambient):-air. Compare Greek 5594 (psucho).
"Wherefore comfort one another with these words." [249]
Now let's go to Matthew 24, to the heavy stuff that these false Judeo-Christian teachers like to get involved in, when they try to teach (deceive) you about how you're going to get out of here before all the trouble begins. The problem is they don't rightly divide the word. "He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart..." [250]
They can't even tell you that there are two tribulations in the end time. The tribulation of anti-Christ, which comes first as we are learning, and the second tribulation that comes at the� very end, which is God's tribulation: And it will not fall on those who have trusted in Him, but only on those who have been deceived. Don't you be one of those that are deceived, although the majority will be. "And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, and the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ (confessing that Christ is the Messiah, but their purpose in doing so is to deceive those who are listening); and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars; see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places." [251]
Do you know what the famine of the end time is? We are told in Amos 8:11 what the famine of the end time is: "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord." [252]
So, we see, that the famine of the end time, for hearing the word of God, so what is the pestilence? The pestilence is destroying words or speech. Let's look at Ezekiel 7:15: "The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him."
pestilence...
Hebrew #1698: deber, deh'-ber, from Heb. 1696 (dabar) (in the sense of destroying); a pestilence:-murrain, pestilence, plague.
Hebrew #1696: dabar, daw-bar'; a primitive root; perhaps properly to arrange; but used figuratively (of words) to speak; rarely (in a destructive sense) to subdue:-answer, appoint, bid, command, commune, declare, destroy, give, name, promise, pronounce, rehearse, say, speak, be spokesman, subdue, talk, teach, tell, think, use [entreaties], utter, X well, X work.
So the pestilence is destroying words and the famine is for hearing the true word of God. People are hungry today because their Judeo-Christian teachers and false prophets do not feed them, they do not teach them the deep things, the meat from God's word. They just teach salvation and baptism, salvation and baptism, love, love, love until it is sickening and people spew it out of their mouth, as they would gall, to a room full of believers; but they don't feed the sheep, they just keep them on milk, and never get to the meat. "Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds (Judeo-Christian teachers) of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed (Kill real Israel Christians, as the government is doing today, whenever it can): but YE FEED NOT THE FLOCK (sheep). The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them. And they are scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field (The Judeo-Christian teachers did not teach God's Israel people not to mix with the black race, and so they did and therefore were lost and scattered), when they were scattered. My sheep wandered through all the mountains (nations), and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them. Therefore, ye shepherds (Judeo-Christian teachers), hear the word of the Lord; As I live, saith the Lord God, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves AND FED NOT MY FLOCK." [253]
Now let's continue in Matthew. "All these are the beginning of sorrows." [254] Sorrows in the Greek, meaning birth pangs. The birth of a new age.
sorrows...
Greek 5604. odin, o-deen'; akin to Grk 3601; a pang or throe, esp. of childbirth:-pain, sorrow, travail.
"Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended (caused to stumble, are enticed to sin), and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another." [255]
offended...
Greek #4624: skandaizo, skan-dal-id'-zo; ("scandalize"); from Grk 4625; to entrap, i.e. trip up (fig. stumble [trans.] or entice to sin, apostasy or displeasure):- (make to) offend.)
"And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many." [256]
Deception is the danger in the end days. Not war, not nuclear arms, but deception; Satan's deception, carried out by the Kenites (Pharisees). "And because iniquity shall abound (lawlessness), the love of many shall wax cold." [257]
abound...
Greek #459: anomos, an'-om-os; from I (as a neg. particle) and 3551; lawless, i.e. (neg.) not subject to (the Jewish) law; (by impl. a Gentile), or (pos.) wicked:-without law, lawless, transgressor, unlawful, wicked.
What does the love wax cold from? From the love of God's Word. "Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love." [258]
God's word, the eternal word, is your first love. It is Christ in printed form. "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." [259]
It is Him speaking to you; and you have left that first love and gone after the traditions of men, the teachings of the Jewish Rabbis dressed up in Judeo-Christian clothes. Return to your first love, and get back into the word of God. "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." [260]
Now that is a pretty clear statement. He that shall endure unto the end. What is the end? The seventh trump, the last trump. He that shall endure until the end, the same shall be saved. How can you be deceived into believing you are going to be raptured out of here when the word is very clear? He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. "And this gospel of the kingdom (the true gospel, not just salvation, and baptism - and Jewish fables), shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation (the abomination of the desolator, i.e. Satan, the anti-Christ), spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)" [261]
This was quoted from Daniel 9:27. Note, Jesus here made Daniel part of the New Testament, and instructed you not to just read, but to understand. "Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house." [262]
The housetop is where the watchmen stood gazing out over the horizon to warn of the enemies approach. Standing watch for the enemy, and crying out the warning, sounding the alarm, to all those that will hear: this is what we are doing to the very best of our ability. "Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!" [263] What is being said here? Jesus is not talking about women who happen to be pregnant at the time this occurs. What He is talking about, you must take to the spiritual level. These Scriptures must be understood; you must think in the spiritual sense. So what does woe unto them that are with child mean? It means woe unto them that are impregnated with the lies of Satan, deceived. And what does to them that give suck mean? "I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able." [264]
Those who give service to: To promote, serve, tithe, or support the work of anyone or any organization that teaches the rapture or any other doctrine that is contrary to God's word. "But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." [265]
We are told here that those days have been shortened, and in Revelation 9:1-5 we are told that the duration is five months, not seven years. "And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither� any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, BUT THAT THEY SHOULD BE TORMENTED FIVE MONTHS..." [266]
Now back to Matthew: "Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not." [267] You can read on your own Mark 13 and Luke 21 that are parallel chapters to Matthew 24, but I would like to point out the word "terrified" in Luke 21:9. Be not terrified means from the Greek.
terrified...(Luke 21:9)
Greek #4422: ptoeo, pto-eh'-o; probably akin to the alternate of Greek 4098 (pipto)(through the idea of causing to call) or to Greek 4072 (petomal)(THROUGH THAT OF CAUSING TO FLY AWAY); to scare:-frighten.
"For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect (in the Greek, it is implied emphatically that it is not possible). Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth; behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not." [268]
Why believe it not? Because he is anti-Christ, he is the first to come; not Jesus, as many are led to believe. "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles (in some translations the word vultures is inserted instead of eagles), be gathered together. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the power of the heavens shall be shaken." [269]
The sun, moon and stars here are representative of Jacob/Israel, Rachel and the twelve tribes of Israel. "And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the� eleven stars made obeisance to me. And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou has dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?" [270]
Matthew 24:27-29 is believed by many to� be the second advent of Jesus the Christ. "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the� earth mourn (mourn because they will realize they have been deceived), and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet (the seventh trump), and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it (He) is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." [271]
What generation? The generation that began at the planting of the fig tree, May 14, 1948; the day that Israel once again became a nation, the day that two fig trees were planted in Jerusalem. A generation of forty years, time of testing, trial, and probation has already come and gone. We are on God's timetable not mans.' "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." [272] What it says in the Greek is that you won't know that instant, but you had better know the season. "But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." [273]
How was it in the days of Noah? Read Genesis 6. "For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark. And knew� not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." [274]
There is another flood coming as well, but it is a flood of lies poured out of the mouth of Satan, the anti-Christ and his children, at the time he makes his appearance as the desolator standing in the holy place. "And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth." [275]; "Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left." [276]
The fly-away, pre-tribulation rapture Judeo-Christian false teachers love to use these verses to substantiate their fly-away doctrine. They deceive you by telling you that the one that is taken flies out of here and escapes the tribulation, that Jesus secretly comes while nobody in the whole world see Him, and raptures away that one in the field. Beware of these Judeo-Christian false teachers, they are 180 degrees off the mark. They couldn't be any farther from the truth. What is the field? The field is the world, Matthew 13:28. "Another parable put he (Christ) forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together FIRST THE TARES, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn." [277]
The world in which the gospel is to be taught. If you leave the field, you leave God's work. If you are taken, it is by anti-Christ, instead of Jesus. The one who remains in the field and continues to do God's word is the one that the Lord, when He returns, will say well-done thou good and faithful servant; because you will have endured until the end. Recall Matthew 24:13, but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Don't be one of those that are taken, because you will be harvested out of season. "Watch therefore (a command to watch): for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this (again, with emphasis, know this), that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched (are you watching?), and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready; for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh." [278]
Be ready for that hour of temptation: "And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast." [279]
In our opinion, this hour of temptation is soon to come upon the earth. "Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?" [280]
Don't read over this; to give them meat in due season. Not milk, not just salvation and baptism for little lambs, but meat. Mature Christians need meat from God's word, just as a baby who has grown into adulthood must leave the milk bottle behind and begin to eat meat. Here Jesus is commanding them to give them meat in due season. This season friends, is the end time generation. Remember the famine of the end times is not for bread, Amos 8:11, but for the true word of God. "Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing." [281]
Recall Matthew 24:40, the two servants working in the field. Who here is blessed? That servant, whom his Lord when He cometh shall find him so doing: Not taken out of the field, but working, giving the meat to the children, NOT TEACHING THEM TO FLY AWAY. "Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods." [282]
Read Ezekiel 44, it documents this fact. "But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom." [283]
The bridegroom is Christ. The ten virgins are all Christians, those who name the name of Christ. Don't overlook this fact. "And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them." [284] The oil is God's Word. "But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps." [285]
The wise had enough of God's word. They were sealed with seven seals. They knew the truth, they knew they weren't going to fly away. They studied God's word diligently. They made time to go back to the Hebrew and Greek and ferret out the truth as it was written in the original manuscripts, rather than to read it from the translations (transliterations) that the scribes have changed and twisted, that they might teach you falsely. "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot� be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine (keep it full of oil) before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." [286]
If your lamp goes out for lack of oil then you cannot obey the Father by letting your light shine. "While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps." [287]
To trim your lamp means to get the brightest light out of it. Also, please note that even the wise virgins, who had plenty of oil, also slumbered for a little while. But they had done enough works that their lamp had not gone out and was still shining forth. "And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out." [288]
�The foolish did not have enough truth to make it. They could not be discerning for the lack of meat of God's word. They could not identify the enemy. They couldn't see him coming, because they had listened to the traditions of men that said you're all going to fly away: So that the first time somebody shows up calling fire down from heaven, you run to him, thinking it's Jesus when in fact it is anti-Christ, instead of Christ, but is Satan himself. "But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell (the Judeo-Christian teachers who have prostituted themselves, and have sold God's word deceitfully), and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut." [289]
At this point it is too late. The ones who are shut out will say: But Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not cast out demons in your name? We preached the gospel around the world, we sent missionaries everywhere. The door was shut, and they were left out. See, we are talking about Christians here, not non-Christians. Christians that are too lazy to study God's word. "Afterward came also the other� virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us." [290]
This is what the majority will be saying in that day. "But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither� the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. For the kingdom of heaven is as a man traveling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods." [291]
The servants here are God's elect, those with eyes to see and ears to hear. Now we are going to 2 Thessalonians 2 and cover more of the favorite scripture passages that these false Judeo-Christian teachers use to deceive you into believing a pre-tribulation, fly-away rapture. Remember, Paul had already taught these things once in 1 Thessalonians; and now because they still were not getting these things clearly in their minds, he once again addresses the problem. "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him." [292]
Here is the subject being discussed: Our gathering together to Him. "That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or troubled, rather by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand." [293]
And what do all the false Judeo-Christian preachers and teachers tell you? That the coming of the Lord (or what they refer to as the rapture) is imminent. "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition." [294] Let's look at this "son of perdition" a little closer. "While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled." [295]
Paul relates the following: "And in nothing terrified by your adversaries (the Jews and other unbelievers): which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. FOR UNTO YOU IT IS GIVEN IN THE BEHALF OF CHRIST, NOT ONLY TO BELIEVE ON HIM, BUT ALSO TO SUFFER FOR HIS SAKE." [296] Here Paul is telling us not to be terrified because of the Jews and non-believers, that it has been given to us by Almighty God the ability to believe in Him, but they are not given that ability - thus they continue to be in unbelief to this day.
perdition....
Greek #684: apoleia, ap-o'-li-a; from a presumed der. of 622; ruin or loss (phys., spiritual or eternal):-damnable (-nation), destruction, die...perish...
Greek #622: apollumi, ap-ol'-loo-mee; from 575 and the base of 3639; to destroy fully (reflex. to perish, or lose), lit. or fig.:-destroy, die, lose, mar, perish.
Greek #3639: olethros, ol'-eth-ros; from a prim. ollumi (to destroy; a prol. form); ruin, i.e. death, punishment:-destruction.
The falling away first is the great apostasy. Beware: For the apostasy has already begun, it is happening now. The man of sin, the son of perdition is none other than Satan, the anti-Christ, The desolator. So what is Paul telling us here? For that day, the Lord's day, shall not come, except first there is a falling away and that the son of perdition, Satan, and his children be revealed for what they are. "Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." [297]
Satan wants to be worshipped as God, and he will deceive many. The majority in fact. "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst� weaken the nations! For thou hast� said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most high." [298]
Will you be one of those that is deceived? "Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholden (restrains) that he (Satan) might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth (restrains) will let (restrain), until he be taken out of the way." [299]
Who is "he" that is taken out of the way? The he is Michael: "And there was war in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." [300]
Let's take a little closer look at this "heaven" being spoken of here.
heaven...
Greek #3772: ouranos, oo-ran-os'; perh. from the same as� 3735 (thought the idea of elevation); the sky; by extens. heaven (as abode of God); by impl. happiness, power, eternity; spec. the Gospel (Christianity):-air, heaven ([-ly]), sky.
Greek #3735: aposoros, or'-os; prob. from an obsol. opworo (to rise or "rear"; perh. akin to 142; comp. 3733); a mountain (as lifting itself above the plain):-hill, mount (-ain).
Here we can see that Satan is going to be cast out of, or off of, a mountain. However, we know from a study of the scriptures that the word mountain actually means a nation. Therefore, Satan will be cast out of the nation or Kingdom of God here on earth. Example, he will be cast out of the United States into another part of the earth. "And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming." [301]
The spirit of His mouth is the sword of the Lord, the truth, the Word of God. "And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength." [302]; "Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." [303]; "Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them STRONG DELUSION, that they should believe a lie (is there any doubt in your mind that our people have been deceived?)." [304]
Where is the only truth, the only infallible source? This living word, this living letter that your Father has left for you. People today just will not study God's word. They sit in churches and listen to men's words, stories, and traditions of men, instead of the only infallible source. And for this cause, because they will not study God's word, God shall/has sent them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. God is not talking about unbelievers here, He is talking about Christians. "A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land. The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and MY PEOPLE (Christians) love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?" [305]
Let's go to the book of Revelation now, and take a couple of verses that those who teach you to fly away love to use as pointing to that time. "After this I (John) looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first� voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me, which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter." [306]
The false Judeo-Christian teachers, those that would teach you to fly away, come to the phrase come up hither, and they are all flying away. Unfortunately they have to manufacture that, for it is not what God is saying. Let's go back and prove this out. "I (John) was IN THE SPIRIT on the Lord's day (the day of His return), and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet (the seventh trump)." [307]
What is he saying here? God is going to show him the things that transpire on the Lord's day, what leads up to it, and what results. John was in the spirit on the Lord's day. So when you get to Revelation 4:1, you realize that John is already on the Lord's day. "After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne." [308]
You see, there is no mystery here. There is no flying away. This is at the seventh trump, the last trump, on the Lord's day. The time is fixed by Revelation 1:10, it is the Lord's day. Let's go now to Ezekiel 28 so we can get a little bit of the description of Satan himself, for he is first to come, as we have already learned in 2 Thessalonians 2. "Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sun, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. (In the Hebrew this says I made you the finished pattern, complete)." [309]
Who is this king of Tyrus? Prophetically, this is not a man. The word Tyrus in the Hebrew, from Tyre means rock, not our rock [310].
Tyrus...
Hebrew #6865: Tsor, tswore, or Tsowr, tsore; the same as Heb. 6864; a rock; Tsor, a place in Pat.:-Tyre, Tyrus. Hebrew 6864, tsor, tsore; from Heb 6696; a stone (as if pressed hard or to a point); (by impl. of use) a knife:-flint, sharp stone.
Hebrew #6696: tsuwr, tsoor, a prim. root; to cramp. i.e. confine (in many applications, lit. and fig., formative or hostile):-adversary, assault, beset, besiege,� bind (up), cast, distress, fashion, fortify, inclose, lay siege, put up in bags.
"Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created." [311]
Notice, here, that he was created, he was not born. Also, don't read over the fact that he was in the garden of Eden. He was the serpent and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. "Thou art (wast) the anointed cherub that covereth (that covereth the mercy seat); and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stone of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence (moral violence), and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire." [312]
Many times in God's word when He refers to stones He is referring to children; the children of fire. At this point in time God demoted him and cast him down.
stone...
Hebrew #68: 'eben, eh'-ben; from the root of 1129 through the mean. to build; a stone:- + carbuncle, + mason, + plumment, [chalk-, hail-, head-, sling-] stone (-ny), (divers) weight (-s).
Hebrew #1129: banah, baw-naw'; a prim. root; to build (lit. and fig.):-(begin to) build (-er), OBTAIN CHILDREN, make, repair, set (up), X surely.
Now back to Ezekiel. "Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness (splendor): I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou has defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic (commerce); therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes (in the Hebrew: I will bring thee to nothing) upon the earth in the sight of all of them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou salt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more." [313]
Here we are even shown how Satan and all those souls that go into the pit of fire are to be dealt with. They are turned to ashes from within, brought to an end, to nothing, destroyed forever.
You see here that there is no eternal torment in hell. The souls are destroyed. Let's now look at the description of Satan given in Isaiah 14. "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken (subdue) the nations!" [314]
weaken...
Hebrew #2522: chalash, khaw-Iash'; a prim. root; to prostrate; by impl. TO OVERTHROW, decay:-discomfit, waste away, weaken.
That is what Lucifer means: Morning star. You see there are two morning stars. The true morning star, Jesus; and the imitation, Satan. "For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High." [315]
star(s)...
Hebrew #3556: kowkab, ko-kawb'; prob. from the same as 3522 (in the sense of rolling) or 3554 (in the sense of blazing); a star (as round or as shining); fig. A PRINCE:-star ([gazer]).
Hebrew #3522: Kabbown, kab-bone'; from an unused root mean. to heap up; hilly; Cabbou, a place in Pal.:-Cabbon.
Recall what we have already learned. "Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." [316]; "Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee saying, is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? All the kings of the nations, even all of the, lie in glory, every one in his own house. But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcass trodden under feet." [317]
We are going to get back into Ezekiel 13, to find out what God has to say about those that teach His children to fly away to save their souls. We will, in fact, find out that God hates those that teach His children to fly away to save their souls. The number 13 by the way, in Biblical numerics, is the number for rebellion. Throughout this, think souls; don't worry about this flesh body that is here today and gone tomorrow. "And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts (minds), Hear ye the word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord God; Woe unto the foolish prophets (Judeo-Christian teachers), that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! O Israel, thy prophets (Judeo-Christian teachers) are like the foxes (jackals) in the deserts (ruins). Ye have not gone up into the gaps (breaches), neither made up the hedge (wall; for protection), for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord." [318]
Don't read over this; to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord. When is the day of the Lord? At the last trump. "They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The Lord saith; and the Lord hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word." [319]
Again, don't read over this: The Lord hath not sent them, and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word. In other words: To back it up, and continue teaching it. And there have been some very strong Judeo-Christian teachers for the past twenty years that have come along and certainly confirmed the false teaching of a pre-tribulation fly-away rapture.
As we continue in Ezekiel 13, we are going to find out what God� Himself, not us nor any other man, but what God feels and thinks about those that teach and those that confirm the Judeo-Christian false teachings that people will fly away. "Have ye (Judeo-Christian teachers) not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The Lord saith it; albeit I have not spoken? Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord God. And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies; they shall not be in the assembly (Hebrew #5475; secret council) of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord God. Because, even because THEY (Judeo-Christian teachers) HAVE SEDUCED MY PEOPLE (Israel & Christians), SAYING, PEACE; AND THERE WAS NO PEACE; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others (the false Judeo-Christian teachers and prophets) daubed (coated) it with untempored mortar (whitewash)." [320]
How simple the word really is. Because, even because they, the false Judeo-Christian teachers and false prophets have seduced my people (Christian Israel). God's children. Saying peace, when there was no peace. And what do you sit in your churches and have your Judeo-Christian teachers lead you to do? Pray for peace, pray for peace. What does God say? Peace; And there was no peace. At what time is this speaking of? Just prior to the Lord's day: Ezekiel 13:5. "Say unto them which daub it with untempered mortar, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower (the latter day rain: See the book of Joel); and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind (ruach in the Hebrew, meaning spirit) shall rend it. Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it? Therefore thus saith the Lord God, I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it." [321]
You see, God is not coming in love and peace and kindness and gentleness, He is not coming as a Lamb this time, He is coming in fury, He is jealous, and He is angry. It is written in Matthew 10:34, think not that I am come to bring peace, but a sword. "So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the Lord. Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered mortar, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it; To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord God. Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them. And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye (Judeo-Christian teachers) hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?" [322]
You see, it is not talking about flesh bodies, but souls; to hunt souls. "And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?"
Pay close attention to what God is saying! He is telling you that the Judeo-Christian teachers are hunting souls, which should be saved, and destroy them: But they are trying to save the souls that should be destroyed. "Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there HUNT THE SOULS TO MAKE THEM FLY, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, EVEN THE SOULS THAT YE (Judeo-Christian teachers) HUNT TO MAKE THEM FLY. Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the Lord." [323]
To sew pillows to all armholes is a Hebrew idiom that means to sew together coverings upon all the joints of my hands, that is to say, to hide from the people the hands of God. These pillows are coverings for the purpose of concealment. Also, to make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature means they put blindfolds upon the head, and therefore the eyes. They put a blindfold upon every stature of man from the poorest to the wealthiest and most prominent; and for what purpose? TO HUNT SOULS! TO HUNT SOULS TO MAKE THEM FLY.
That is what these false Judeo-Christian teachers and false prophets have done to God's children in promoting this rapture theory. They have concealed God's hands, put blinders upon your eyes, and deceived your soul into believing that you're going to fly out of here before all the trouble starts; and God says I HATE THOSE THAT TEACH MY CHILDREN TO FLY TO SAVE THEIR SOULS, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls� go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly. "BECAUSE WITH LIES ye (Judeo-Christian teachers) have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life: Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the Lord." [324]
What does it say? He is going to gather His Israel people, the wheat first in some pre-tribulation rapture. No, it says that the tares will be gathered first. Do you count yourself among the tares. Do you even know who the tares are? You better know. Jesus said if you don't understand the parable of the sower, how then will you understand any of the parables as you should?
We hope you have enjoyed this lesson on the false teachings of a pre-tribulation, fly away rapture theory began in 1830. It was never taught in the church for the first 18 centuries. THE RAPTURE THEORY BEGAN IN 1830 IN SCOTLAND BY A DELIRIOUS, DEATH BED RIDDEN WOMAN BY THE NAME OF MARGARET MACDONALD, WHO HAD A VISION; AND HER FIRST INSTINCT WAS THAT IT WAS VERY EVIL. Then two priests by the names of Norton and Darby came along and started teaching and preaching this vision. All this is documented and you can read about it, even Margaret MacDonald's own hand written account, in a book called "The Incredible Cover-up" by Dave McPherson.
Don't be deceived, by the Judeo-Christian teachers on the television, radio and in the pulpits of America today. Your very soul is at stake! Stop listening to these false teachers and pastors who would tell you that you are going to fly out of here. Get back into the Word of God, and that alone: It is your only protection for these end times. We pray that this lesson has benefited you, and that the Holy Spirit has touched your mind. Just remember what God has to say. "Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly." [325]
1). They teach that Jesus is to come "SECRETLY" because of the words contained in the scripture; "For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night." [326]
It seems that they are unable to study and learn anything about history; that in the days these scriptures were penned, a thief did not slip quietly into a person's home as a sneak thief. But instead came in with great shouts and much fanfare in order to terrorize their victims. Therefore, this scripture is merely confirmation to the prophecy of the day of the Lord which on several occasions state: "The great day of the Lord is near...A DAY OF WRATH, A DAY OF TROUBLE AND DISTRESS...A DAY OF THE TRUMPET AND ALARM." [327]; "Behold, he [Jesus] cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him...AND ALL KINDREDS OF THE EARTH SHALL WAIL BECAUSE OF HIM." [328]
So it is clearly obvious that when Jesus comes IT WILL NOT BE A SECRET!!!
2). That by teaching about a so‑called "Anti‑Christ" they deny the scriptures, for there are many "anti‑Christs."
In fact, the only time the "word" anti‑Christ was used, it was by John when he related; "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now there are many antichrists...Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son." [329]
Then again; "And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and EVEN NOW IS IT IN THE WORLD." [330]
And then the last time; "For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist." [331]
Therefore, it is obvious they do not understand that it is "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." [332] Who is, in truth, the ruler of the world upon Christ's return.
3). In teaching about the "Reviving of the Old Roman Empire," they ignore what Daniel related; "...then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces TOGETHER." [333]
So it is clear that all the old kingdoms: The head of gold ‑ Babylon; the breasts and arms of silver Assyria; the belly and thighs of brass ‑ Greece; the legs of iron ‑ Rome; feet of iron and clay ‑ combination of Rome and the Catholic Church [Which has incorporated every facet of the ancient Babylonian Religion, The Two Babylon's]: were not destroyed totally but were absorbed by one another. And that at the end they will be destroyed TOGETHER, at one and the same time.
4). Then if the Saints [Christians] have been "Raptured" out; Then who are the "Saints" which are going to be at war with and be overcome by the beast? "And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast...And it was given unto him to make war with the SAINTS, and to overcome them." [334]
Then; "And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the SAINTS." [335]
Therefore, if the Saints had been raptured out; then we are led to believe that the atheists and unsaved are going to lead others of their ranks to Christ for salvation. This is utterly absurd and is almost to stupid to even mention, were it not for the fact; that all too many of our people have been led to believe this sicking drivel. Some will say: "Well the 144,000 Jews will do the leading." If this is true then that will show the falseness of the "Rapture" theory: Because if the 144,000 Jews were to become saved, WHICH THEY CANNOT, because the Scriptures plainly teach THE JEWS CANNOT BE SAVED, then they will become Saints and would have to be raptured out also.
Therefore, it will come as a shock to many to be told, not only is such false teachings are not in the Bible, but that, in fact, it was originated by Christ's, Christians and the Bible's most deadly enemies, THE JEWS! Oh, if only Christians would only study God's Word, and would come to the Bible with an open mind, instead of coming with their heads filled with JEWISH FABLES. "Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth." [336]
The teachings of human and fallible men whom they treat as if inspired, they would not be so readily, "...carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive." [337]
If they would accept the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ; they would come to realize that "a corrupt tree cannot bring forth good fruit," and understand the warning given to Daniel that "none of the wicked shall understand" they would also know better than to expect to get a clean bird out of a foul nest. It is, indeed, a pity so many well meaning Christians choose to remain ignorant of the true meaning of the Scriptures, and so, "professing themselves to be wise," they proclaim their ignorance from the housetops, so to speak.
To these "blind leaders of the blind," ignorance is a Pearl of Great Price, and to offer them any enlightenment on historical facts is an attempt to rob them of their Precious Jewel. If any of them have ever studied the Scriptures and the prophecies, they seldom, by the slightest allusion betray the fact. And being neither willing to admit, nor able to understand the prophecies our so‑called Modernist Bible Teachers and "Ministers" studiously ignore them, and speak as if wisdom had been born with them. Therefore, to tell them the truth and show them their error, is to make an enemy of them; "...shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them." [338]; "Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword [Is that not what they teach when they tell their congregations of the "Rapture?"], neither shall ye have famine [Can anyone doubt that there is a famine in America? A famine of God's Word?]; but I will give you assured peace in this place. Then the Lord said unto me, THE PROPHETS ["Ministers," Evangelists, Priests, Pastors and etc., of the Judeo‑Christian church world] PROPHESY LIES IN MY NAME: I SENT THEM NOT, NEITHER HAVE I COMMANDED THEM, NEITHER SPAKE UNTO THEM: THEY PROPHESY UNTO YOU A FALSE VISION AND DIVINATION, AND A THING OF NOUGHT, AND THE DECEIT OF THEIR HEART [So you see the Clergy of Organized Religion when teaching about the "Rapture" and other things, they teach a lie, a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought (Nothing) but the deceit of their own hearts]." [339]
Listen to what God says about these false prophets ‑‑ The Clergy! "Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord." "Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord. And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord." [340]; "Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord. They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you...Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord is gone forth in fury even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked...in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings." [341]; "In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go and seek the Lord their God. They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thither ward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten. My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from Mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place." [342]; "The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name. Thou art my battle ax and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms." [343]
22). The rapid advancement of intelligence and divine instruction of the people of the Word of God, would mark the rising progress of that people.
"...the children of Israel...Children in whom was no blemish...well favoured, and skillful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge...understanding science." [344]; "...many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." [345] "...and all thy children shall be taught of the Lord." [346] "O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and opposition of science falsely so called [There is much science (knowledge) which does not deserve the name, being only speculation. Such as the THEORY (speculation) of relativity and evolution]." [347]
There is no other nation on earth who answers to the description of these Scriptures better than the United States. Our learning institutions are spread all across the country, so that, if desired, even the poorest citizen may be enriched with the invaluable treasure of a higher education. And until our schools curriculum, as our government, came under the absolute control of Christ's and America's enemies ‑‑ the Jews [Which is completely unknown, or the knowledge of it is rejected by the majority of our people. Completely verifying God's Words, "My people are destroy for lack of knowledge: because thou has rejected knowledge." [348]], all countries and races of the earth acknowledged the excellence of our schools and sent their finest minds here to America, to complete their education. It is here, in the United States, the pulpit, unawed by the terrors and thunderings of the throne or the Vatican and its murderous army of Jesuit Jews; The Bible, the Word of God is an open book and like the sun in Mid‑heaven, shedding a strong and steady light upon the shadowy spirit of the lost; inspiring the living with the eternal hope of the resurrection at the end of time, with THE RETURN OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. And our peoples knowledge of science is excelled by none.
23). Latter day Israel to colonize and spread abroad.
"And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt SPREAD ABROAD to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south." [349]; "Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall." [350]; "When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel." [351]; "His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh." [352]; "Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and THE UTTERMOST PARTS OF THE EARTH for thy possession." [353]; "Thou has increased the nation, O Lord, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far UNTO ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH." [354]; "He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit." [355] "Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way IN THE WILDERNESS, AND RIVERS IN THE DESERT. The beast of the field shall honor me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters IN THE WILDERNESS, AND RIVERS IN THE DESERT, to give drink to my people, my chosen." [356]; "Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thin habitations." [357]; "And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them...And HE SHALL PASS THROUGH THE SEA WITH AFFLICTION, and shall smite the waves in the sea." [358]
The writings of our forefathers show the truth of these scriptures. Listen to the words of John Winthrop, as related in "The Light And The Glory" pages 155‑156: "All other Churches of Europe are brought to desolation...and who knows but that God hath provided this place to be a refuge for many whom He means to save out of the general calamity. [La Rochelle, the seaport bastion in which the French Huguenots had held out for two years, had just fallen to Cardinal Richelieu, and in Germany, Wallenstein was pulverizing the armies of the Protestants]. And seeing the Church hath no place left to fly into but the wilderness, what better work can there be, than to go and provide tabernacles and food for her against [That time when] she comes thither. This land [Europe] grows weary of her inhabitants, so as man, who is the most precious of all creatures, is here more vile and base than the earth we tread upon, and of less price among us than a horse or a sheep...All arts and trades are carried in that deceitful and unrighteous course, [so] it is almost impossible for a good and upright man to maintain his charge and live comfortably in any of them. The fountains of learning and religion are so corrupted as most children are perverted [and] corrupted."
As for the passing across the sea; listen to the words of Christopher Columbus: "The tempest arose and wearied me so that I knew not where to turn; my old wound opened up, and for nine days I was as lost without hope of life; eyes never beheld the sea so high, angry and covered with foam. The wind not only prevented our progress, but offered no opportunity to run behind any headland for shelter; hence we were forced to keep out in this bloody ocean, seething like a pot on a hot fire. Never did the sky look more terrible; for one whole day and night it blazed like a furnace, and the lightning broke forth with such violence that each time I wondered if it had carried off my spars and sails; the flashes came with such fury and frightfulness that we all thought the ships would be blasted. All this time the water never ceased to fall from the sky; I don't say it rained, because it was like another deluge. The people were so worn out that they longed for death to end their dreadful sufferings." [359]
24). Israel to colonize the desolate places of the earth.
"The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose." [360]; "Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. The best of the field shall honor me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen." [361]; "Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee...and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit THE DESOLATE HERITAGES." [362]; "For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall...MAKE THE DESOLATE CITIES TO BE INHABITED." [363]; "And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. And they that shall be of thee SHALL BUILD THE OLD WASTE PLACES." [364]
25). The country inhabited by the people gathered out of the nations and would be settled in thirteen distinct colonies [States] like it was with ancient Israel.
"I GATHERED them together, AND SET THEM IN THEIR PLACE [365]." [366]; "When the people are GATHERED TOGETHER." [367]; "Lo, thy sons come, whom thou sentest away, they come GATHERED together from the east to the west by the word of the Holy One, rejoicing in the glory of God." [368]; "I will bring them from the north country...GATHER them from the north country...GATHER them from the coasts of the earth...A GREAT COMPANY SHALL RETURN THITHER [369]. Behold, I will GATHER them out of all countries." [370]
For hundreds of years, Satan has deceived people into believing thirteen (13) is bad luck. However, the fact is, thirteen has been the number that has brought great blessings to man‑kind. The thirteen tribes of Israel, the twelve Apostles plus Jesus, making thirteen ‑‑ then after Jesus was crucified by the Jews ‑‑ Paul was added to the fold' thus making the number of Apostles thirteen again. Then in later years, following the patter of their forefathers our nations founders formed the thirteen original states [In actuality small nations] of the United States.
It is a remarkable fact that although the Israelites had but twelve tribes, with two portions falling to Ephraim and Manasseh the children of Joseph, it made them into a confederacy of Thirteen States, or Tribes, or Nations.
It is also just as remarkable that, in the beginning the United States had but twelve states; but William Penn held the Charter of the State of Pennsylvania for a number of years [In fact, almost the exact number that Joseph was separated from his father and his brethren] until he obtained that of Delaware which then made them thirteen.
However, the coincidence in the boundaries of the thirteen states is even more remarkable. For the prophet Ezekiel give the eastern border of restored Israel, to be the eastern sea, and the western border to be the great western sea (Review Ezekiel Chapter 47). Now to really get excited about this examine the and the PACIFIC OCEAN or the GREAT WESTERN SEA for their WESTERN BOUNDARY, in almost the exact same words original charters of the thirteen states, for they called for the ATLANTIC OCEAN for their EASTERN BOUNDARY as Ezekiel.
Is it not amusing to see the perplexity of our so‑called Learned Theologians and our Prostitute Ministers, Priests, Pastors, Evangelists and Teachers in their attempts to map and present the Murdering Bastard State known to the world as Israel, as the "Restored" Israel of the Bible. They bound it by the Mediterranean as the Western Sea, but they can find no Eastern Sea for the east side. But some of them are not about to let that bother them, for rather than admit their error; they just back up and say: "Well this is all going to happen during millennium and the geography of the world will change and then there will be an Eastern Sea." Boy, how stupid can some people be! But the Scriptures prove them wrong again and show them up to the liars they are: "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and THERE WAS NO MORE SEA." [371]
They are compounding error upon top of error; while in the same breath they will piously declare that: "The present day state of Israel is a miraculous restoration of Israel."
Then again, some will say the Dead Sea is the eastern sea, but that will not stand the test of the scriptures, for the little Dead Sea lies across three of the tribes but does not bound any one of them. Examine the maps, because at the close of the commentary by Ezekiel, you will find, for want of an eastern sea, the present day state of Israel falls short of fulfilling his prophecy also. And if the prophecy is not fulfilled completely and if any portion is left out, then it is no longer a prophecy, it is then reduced to just plain speculation.
Therefore, either Ezekiel is a prophet or he is a liar. This author firmly believes that Ezekiel was one of the great prophets and his prophecy is fulfilled completely in the United States. Thus, we are forced by the fats of history and geography which present conclusive proof that the present day state of Israel CANNOT be the country of restored Israel, and is actually the seat of Satan and the homeland of his children. Who will, in the days to come fulfill the prophesies of Daniel and the Lord Jesus Christ about the abomination of desolation and will institute a false worship in the Prostitute Temple when it is rebuilt. AND THAT WORSHIP IS AND WILL BE JUDAISM!!!
26). Israel to lose a colony, then expand demanding more room.
"For thy waste and desolate places...shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away. The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast LOST the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell." [372]
27). Israel to have all the land needed.
"When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel." [373]
28). Israel to be the first among the nations.
"Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee." [374]
29). America ‑ The New Jerusalem.
Because there are so many Scriptures proving this to be true. We will simply list them for your reference and study. [375]
30). This latter day Isreal [Called by another name] was to be a land shadowing with wings which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia; that sendeth Ambassadors by Sea; a people terrible from their beginning; a nation meted [Measured] out and trodden down; whose land the� rivers have spoiled!
"Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is BEYOND the rivers of Ethiopia: That sendeth AMBASSADORS by the sea, even in VESSELS OF BULRUSHES upon the waters, saying Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation SCATTERED and PEELED...a people TERRIBLE FROM THEIR BEGINNING hitherto: A nation METED [Measured] OUT and TRODDEN DOWN, whose land the rivers have spoiled." [376]
A). The use of the word "woe" is not a malediction here, but is a haierets in Hebrew, which means and is a form of hailing [377]; which would authorize us to read it as, "All hail, or Oh!"
B). Where is that land?
(1) In this first verse of Isaiah 18; we find two words which identify the land in question. Since the chapter is not directly addressed to any particular land, whereas the other chapters are specifically addressed; we can safely conclude that the land in question to be a land UNKNOWN to Isaiah, and which land will be "BEYOND the rivers of Ethiopia."
C). Where are the rivers of Ethiopia?
(2) The "rivers" referred to would be the Nile and its tributaries. When we look at a map today, the top is north, the bottom south, the right is east and the left is west. But this was not so in Biblical times. The Hebrews faced the sunrise, and looked toward the east or eastward.
In that day and time "before" meant east, and "behind" or "beyond" meant west; his right arm pointed south and his left arm pointed to the north. Therefore "Beyond" the rivers of Ethiopia meant over his shoulder, which was west, since Isaiah was standing in Jerusalem facing the sunrise and describe the land beyond [WEST] of the rivers of Ethiopia.
D). What country and people are found beyond the Nile?
(3) The land immediately beyond the Nile is a barren desert with wondering nomads the only human beings that pass through it; and they send NO AMBASSADORS by sea. Therefore, we must look further wrest for the land Isaiah is making reference to. If we follow the line of latitude Jerusalem is located west no other country will be found until striking America on the coasts of South Carolina and Georgia.
The second identification found in the first verse of Isaiah eighteen is the expression "shadowing with wings," which may, without harm to the scripture, be rendered "overshadowing wings" or "outstretched," [Wings]. Several inferences can be drawn from this expression.
1). It referred to the geographical confirmation of the new continent or Prophetic New Jerusalem; and when one looks a large map of North and South America very much resembles the expanded wings of a great eagle.
2). It is also suggestive of the fact that it was a country shadowed or concealed until God was ready for its discovery.
3). It foretold the "spread eagle," the symbol of Americanism. While other countries have the eagle as their national emblem, no other country has the eagle with outstretched wings. Mexico has an eagle with closed wings; Germany has an eagle with closed wings; Russia has an eagle grasping a round globe, which represents the entire earth ‑ with an arrow to conquer the earth with war. Whereas the United States has an eagle with spread wings. So the United States is the "land of outstretched wings."
There is no other explanation, other than; it was by Divine Province that the Bald Eagle was selected as the emblem of the United States as a nation, and there is a deep truth revealed by this symbol that is scripturally applicable to Israel's deliverance and ultimate repentance. "And the woman [Israel] were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the WILDERNESS, INTO HER PLACE, where she is nourished." [378]
The prophet Micah describes the idolatry of Israel, the incurable wound of Judah, and speaks of a time: "Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah [The plain belonging to Judah [379]]: he shall come unto Adullam [A cave unto which David had fled [380] for a resting place] the glory of Israel. Make thee bald [Repent], and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness [Baldness is the symbol for repentance] as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee." [381]
The outstretched wings, like a mother bird protecting her brood under her wings, also foreshadowed a nation to serve as a refuge for the oppressed and persecuted people of the earth. Since the world began there has never been any country that from it's very beginning offered a welcome and hospitality to the down trodden and suffering people of every part of the world for the purpose of giving them religious freedom and civil liberty other than America and ancient Israel? Not understanding how the Hebrews made commentary concerning direction there are those who contend that Western Africa was not the ancient Ethiopia but, instead, was the country inhabited by the Cushites or the children of Cush.
That is all well and good but upon examination: we find that they extended eastwardly and their rivers were the Ganges, the Indus and the Brahaputra; beyond these from Judea or Palestine on a line directly across the Pacific to the North American Continent. In either case, "the land beyond the rivers" of either modern or ancient Ethiopia; from an origin in Palestine, IS AMERICA!
E). That sendeth AMBASSADORS BY SEA, in VESSELS OF BULRUSHES upon the waters.
(4) Two points need to be noted here. FIRST: That AMBASSADORS are sent "by sea." The word "ambassadors" is from the Hebrew words "tsiyr" [382] and "malak" [383] meaning "messenger" or men who travel on business ‑‑ Today it generally means a government representative, not a business representative, as in the past. Nor is it those who travel for pleasure. The New World Dictionary, Second College Edition, p. 42 relates: "Ambassador: A messenger or servant;
1). The highest‑ranking diplomatic representative appointed by one country or government to represent it in another.
2). A special representative: an ambassador‑at‑large is one accredited to no particular country; an ambassador extraordinary is one on a special diplomatic mission; an ambassador plenipotentiary is one having the power to make treaties.
3). An official messenger or agent with a special mission."
For 150 years the United States has sent it's ambassadors for both business and government "by sea" to Europe, Asia, Australia and in most cases even to Central and South America. And it has been only in two countries; Canada and Mexico not have to cross the sea to arrive at their assignments. Even then they went by sea, to Mexico, most of the time.
When the translators of the King James Bible (1611) came to the Hebrew compound word which, when translated into "water‑drinking‑vessels," they had no idea what it meant; so they looked around for something that grew out of the water such as "bulrushes, cattails, flags, papyrus;" and finally settled upon the words "vessels of Bulrushes."
The New Word Dictionary ‑‑ Second College Edition, p. 187 relates: "Bulrush:
1). Any of a number of marsh plants of the sedge family, having slender, round or triangular stems tipped with brown spikelets of minute flowers.
2). The cattail.
3). Popularly, any aquatic plant resembling a bulrush, as the papyrus."
Now, there were Hebrew words for each of those plants, but none were used or meant. However, "vessels of bulrushes" [Water‑drinking‑vessels] upon the waters, is a perfect description of our modern day steamship, which was not even dreamed of in Isaiah's time or perceived by the King James Translators. The word comes from the Hebrew word "gome" [384] and means "to absorb" or "to drink." but the words "water drinking vessels upon the waters:" is a picture of the ocean liners, pumping up water, distilling it, turning it into steam which produces the power to turn the propellers and propel the vessel, its crew, its passengers and cargo to all the lands of the earth. Therefore, it is evident Isaiah was looking down through the ages and seeing the time when America was exercising a controlling power throughout the world by sending its ambassadors, its soldiers and its sailors by vessels that "drink water," so to speak, and make steam to propel it on all the waters of the world.
F). Go ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto.
(5) The word "scattered" is from the Hebrew word "mashak" [385] meaning "drawn out" or "to be tall." The word "peeled" is from the Hebrew word "marat" [386] meaning "to pluck off hair" or the Hebrew word "mowrat" [387] "smooth‑shaven."
The year 1000 A.D. saw the first discovery of America by Norsemen who came to Canada and Massachusetts, from Greenland. Where they found a race of people inhabiting this continent who were "tall and smooth." The natives, called Indians, were not only taller than the Asians or Europeans but were also without beards.
The description of this land in the possession of the fierce and war like Indians who had been broken up into tribes and dispersed without order over the continent and wasted by continual tribal wars; was a perfect description of the people described by the scripture as being "a nation scattered and peeled...a people terrible from their beginning hitherto [Until this modern time]." We would also like to point out the noteworthiness of Isaiah's description of a "people tall and smooth" and "terrible from their beginning," not only fit the original inhabitants of America, but its later people as well.
In World War I America mobilized an army of three million soldiers that averaged five feet, eleven inches in height and all were smooth shaven. This was the tallest army the would had ever seen and there was not a beard to be seen.
And having been convinced they were fighting a "just war" they were a "terror" unto the enemy. Even in the process of being born and on its way to maturity, met and whipped [With the help of God Almighty and Jesus Christ] the mightiest nations of the known world; America fought with and was victorious with England, Mexico, Spain, Germany and Japan. And even though being led by the most traitorous leaders of any nation, in the history of the world we have NEVER been defeated in the defense of our own land or in the freedom of the seas.
Until America and its Israel people turn back to their God, the Lord Jesus Christ and cast down, the prophets of Baal, who fill most of the pulpits of our country; history has proven in the past, and will continue to prove: "...the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed." [388]
The Lord God which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith: "Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him. All ye beasts [Wicked men [389] and Blacks] of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest. His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant." [390]
G). A nation meted out and trodden under foot.
(6) The word "meted" out is from the Hebrew word "qau‑qau" [391] meaning "line‑line." The New World Dictionary, Second College Edition states: "METED: To measure,
1). To allot; distribute; apportion.
2). To measure."
"Trodden down" is from the Hebrew word "mebuweah" [392] which may be translated "trodden under foot." Putting them together, a literal translation would be a land "measured out under the treading;" a land measured out by lines under foot.
This is descriptive of our process of surveying which was began in 1800: as a result our land is literally a checkerboard of sections. It was about the time of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and an attempt to admit Ohio as a state that the United States Government passed a law that all public lands should be surveyed by the north star with the base line running east and west; and it was then to be marked up into mile square sections [640] acres. These sections were then subdivided into quarter sections of one‑fourth mile squares.
No nation has ever "meted" out their land in blocks before this time; except for ancient Israel who "meted" out the divisions of the land, under Joshua, by surveying and marked their lands by local boundaries.
H). Whose land the rivers have spoiled.
(7) The Revised Version Translation reads: "...whose land the rivers divide."
However, the word "spoiled" is from the Hebrew word "baza" [393] meaning "to cleve." A term used in the ritual of sacrifice where an animal is hung up and divided into four quarters. The word should be rendered literally, "quartered."
An examination of all the nations of the world, shows only one, the United States of America that is quartered by rivers. The Mississippi river begins near the Canadian Boarder and cuts down to the Gulf of Mexico dividing our land into halves. On the Pacific Coast side is the Columbia River; follow it upward to its junction with the Snake River; then upward into close proximity with the source of the Missouri River which starts in Montana and then meanders eastward into the Mississippi, dividing the West into halves. On the Atlantic Coast side begin with the Ohio River and follow it eastward to Pittsburgh and its junction with the Monongahela River that runs by McKeesport; it then turns into the Younghiogheny River; then at Glenco, Pa., it becomes the Castleman River, then up stream until Wills Creed branches off and takes its source where the Potomic begins and runs to the Bay and then into the Atlantic.
Thus the eastern half of our nation is divided in two. Look if you will, but, one cannot find ANY OTHER COUNTRY on earth divided in this way. Much less the present day Murderous and Bandit State of Israel. So, we can clearly see that the United States of America is a land divided into four sections ‑‑ Northeast, Northwest, Southwest and Southeast by rivers. This prophetic description of our country can have no other meaning or application that is reasonable; and to try to spiritualize it into something else is to teach and live a lie; a lie which has been fostered upon our Israel people by Satan, his children and his disciples. Thus it is obvious that our so‑called Learned Theologians, whose minds have been seared and closed shut with a hot iron by the enemy of Almighty God, Jesus Christ and America, have never dreamed that America was the subject of this prophecy, and piously say, "This is the most obscure passage in the entire book of Isaiah." They do not understand, "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: But the honor of kings is to search out a matter." [394]
So God says: "My people [Israel] are destroyed for lack of knowledge." [395]
31). Latter day Israel to lift up an Ensign.
"All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye." [396]; "ENSIGN: A flag or banner; specifically, a national flag." "Trumpet: To proclaim loudly." [397]
In this prophetic third verse we find the words "ensign" and "trumpet" which are in many cases symbols of war. Therefore, it would appear that, Isaiah saw America [The Israel that was to come] lift up its ensign on the mountains [Nations] blow the trumpet ‑‑ a declaration of war. Twice when America has "declared" war, many of the nations of the world "took heed" and became involved. And in each case the United States was not only the deciding factor; indeed, it was more powerful than all of the so‑called allies combined, and took the leadership in making the terms and regulations for managing and adjusting the varied claims of the nations. Since the birth of America it won every war it was involved in ‑‑ Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Spanish‑American War, Mexico‑American War, World War I and World War II ‑‑ until 1948 when the American People replaced God Almighty and the Lord Jesus Christ and began worshipping the Jews ‑‑ Christ's enemies. Nevertheless the United States has also fulfilled an accompanying scripture, "The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name. Thou art my battle ax and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms." [398]
32). Israel to continue as a nation forever.
"And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever." [399]; "For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, Lord, becamest their God." [400]; "Thus saith the Lord which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. Thus saith the Lord; If heaven above can be measured and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord." [401]
33). Israel's home to be invincible to outside forces.
"Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; niether shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as before time." [402]; "Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and conpounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel." [403]
34). Israel to be undefeatable while defended by God.
"God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows. He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee." [404]; "And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles [nations] in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and tareth in pieces, and none can deliver. Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off." [405]
35). In that time the present will be brought unto the Lord: to the place of the name of the Lord of Hosts; the Mount Zion.
"In that time shall the present be brought unto the Lord of hosts...the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, the mount Zion." [406]
Here we are shown the outcome of the cleansing. As in the parable of the wheat and the tares the removal of the wicked forces is shown to precede the time that the people return to their God. Also we find that this [Christian] land is the "place of the name of the Lord of Hosts." It is as the passage states "the Mount Zion."
36). Israel to be God's instrument in destroying evil.
"The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name. Thou art my Battle Ax and weapons of war: For with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; And with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider; with thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will break in pieces the young man and the maid. I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers." [407]; "Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing‑floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them; and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole Earth." [408]
37). Israel to have a land of great mineral wealth.
"Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who will bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb: The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of them everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren." [409]
38). Israel to have a land of great agricultural wealth.
"Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine." [410]; "For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into A GOOD LAND, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass." [411]
39). Israel to be rich through trade.
"Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the Lord. All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory. Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows? Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the Lord thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee. And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee. Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought." [412]; "...ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves." [413]
40). Israel to be envied and feared by all nations.
"This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee." [414]; "And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?" [415]; "Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life." [416]; "And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee. Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought. For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted." [417]; "And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honor before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it." [418]; "The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf. They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the Lord our God, and shall fear because of thee." [419]
41). Israel to lend to other nations borrowing from none.
"For the Lord thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and THOU SHALT LEND UNTO MANY NATIONS, but THOU SHALT NOT BORROW; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee." [420] "The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and THOU SHALT LEND UNTO MANY NATIONS, and THOU SHALT NOT BORROW." [421]
42). Israel to have a new name.
"And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and THOU SHALT BE CALLED BY A NEW NAME, which the mouth of the Lord shall name." [422]; "And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay thee, and CALL HIS SERVANTS BY ANOTHER NAME." [423]; "For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and THEY SHALL NO MORE BE REMEMBERED BY THEIR NAME." [424]
43). Israel to have a new language.
"For with stammering lips and ANOTHER TONGUE will he speak to this people." [425]
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������� LANGUAGE
Many opponents of our identity as Israel say we cannot be Israelites because we do not speak Hebrew and because we write from left to right, whereas Hebrew is written from right to left. Many add a further claim that English has no similarity to Hebrew. Pastor Curtis Clair Ewing, in a cassette tape lecture on this subject, destroys all their arguments with the facts of history. His lecture is titled The Hebraic Origin of the English Language, and the following are a few of his deductions:
FIRST: If we can't be Israelites because we don't speak Hebrew, then the Jews can't be Israelites because they don't speak Hebrew either! Many ministers mistakenly think they do, but most European Jews speak Yiddish, which is a corrupted combination of Russian, Polish, and German. They do use the Hebrew alphabet, but that no more proves they are Hebrews than the Norwegian's use of the Roman alphabet proves they are Italians. The Jews in Palestine are attempting to teach Hebrew, but with little success.
SECOND: The argument that writing from left to right proves we are not Hebrews is specious. Some claim no nation ever changed its writing that way; but if they would took up the term "boustrophedo" in the Encyclopedia or any large dictionary, they would find it means a style of writing where the lines alternate, right to left, then left to right, and that the Greeks used that style in ancient times, as did the Egyptians, and at one time, even the Irish and the Norsemen. Now they have all changed, although opponents of our Israel identity continue to insist no nation ever changed its style of writing!
THIRD: Most mistakenly believe there was only one Hebrew language, but there were three. The first was known as Sinai Hebrew; then came the Phoenician Hebrew; and then after the Babylonian Captivity, the Tribe of Judah used what is now called Assyrian Hebrew. Form early examples, it appears the earliest was written from left to right, and later from right to left! So, early in their Palestine sojourn, they changed their language and style of writing; and every Bible translator knows that at the time of Christ, the Israelites in Jerusalem spoke Aramaic ‑ a THIRD change in less than 2,000 years! To insist the English‑speaking peoples cannot be Israelites because they do not speak the ancient Hebrew or write from right to left is an utterly nonsensical argument.
FINALLY: The English language is still similar enough to the ancient Hebrew that it must be the ancestor tongue of English! Here are a few testimonies given in Pastor Ewing's lecture:
Rev. Jacob Tomlin of England, in A Comparative Vocabulary of 48 Languages, wrote there was a close affinity between Hebrew and English, not only in words, but in the arrangement of ideas and the structure of sentences.
William Tyndale, one of the great Reformers and a translator of the original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts into the English Language, said the Hebrew agreed more closely with the English than it did with the Latin.
Ferrar Fenton, who translated the Fenton Bible, once wrote a letter to the famous Professor Totten in which Fenton stated that while he was yet an unbeliever, his thorough studies of the ancient languages, including Hebrew, had convinced him the Welsh language was closely aligned with Hebrew and that the English‑ speaking peoples must be racially aligned with the Hebrews!
Pastor Ewing gave much more information to prove the amazing similarity between Hebrew and English and then concluded his lecture with the statement that since English was rapidly becoming the official trade and political language of all nations, the English language may well be the fulfilling of the promise of God to Israel in Zephaniah 3:9, For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve Him with one consent. If it is God's purpose to make English the universal language, that would explain the desperate attempts of the enemies of God and America to make our nation bi‑lingual by bringing in Spanish, French (in Canada), even Indian languages, and Swahili for the Blacks. They are attempting to frustrate God's purpose, but they will not be successful, just as their attempts to destroy America SHALL FAIL.
One final comment on language. Some years ago the American networks televised the investiture of Prince Charles of England as the Prince of Wales. At one point a TV commentator asked Sir Richard Burton of Wales a question about the Welsh people and in his answer Sir Richard included this phrase, "the ancient Welsh language is almost pure Hebrew." Millions of Americans heard that ‑ further testimony to God's Saxon Race of their Hebrew ancestry.
������������������������������������������������������� ENGLISH WAS DERIVED FROM HEBREW
THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE - DERIVED FROM THE HEBREW, so says R. Govett in an old manuscript. From this point on the writings presented will be presented from his own words: Professor Max Muller, in his lectures on language, having shown that several of our common English words are derived from the Sanscirit, it struck me to inquire, What would be the result of tracing the obligations of the English language to the Hebrew? And, having gone into this matter to some extent, I now believe that English is derived from the Hebrew.
Dean Alford supposes that the Celtic, Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, and Spanish jointly contribute some five percent of words to our native tongue. As the result of my inquiry I should be inclined to say that there are NOT MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT OF SAXON WORDS WHICH CANNOT BE TRACED TO HEBREW.
I wish, however, not to theorize, but to present the reader with examples, from which he can deduce his own conclusions. In this first part I do not write for the learned; being assured that the question can be easily understood, and will prove interesting to every English reader. Hence I gave not the Hebrew letters, but the correspondent Roman ones.
SECTION 1: I propose to give specimens of the derivation of our names of Animals from the sacred language.
What is the Hebrew name for the Hare? ARNHBit. (I give the letters simply; not according to the Masoretic pointing; adding in smaller type the vowels supplied). Now may not these letters at once hint to us, whence our name of an allied animal is derived? Reverse the order of the A and the R, and you have RANBIT, whence our word RABBIT evidently comes. What is the Hebrew for the terrible serpent, deceiver of our race? NaHHaS. Change the last letter to the foremost place, and you have our SNAKe. Hence too, by A prefixed, we get the Latin Anguis, and the Greek Echis, the letter N being dropped, as it is very often in Hebrew. If the Scripture be true, we might expect this word to be retained; and so it is. The Greek word for the viper is Aspis, whence our word Asp. It comes from the Hebrew ZP'A transposed; which also signifies a viper.
BOA, familiar to us as the name of the destroying Boa. The letters B, P, and F, are perpetually interchanged in their passage from one language to another. From the same Hebrew word comes our English "Eft," a small creature of the lizard kind. And probably the Latin VIPERA comes from the same root; the F or V being prefixed to the commeninc vowel.
The Adder proceeds from 'ATaR, "to encircle," and is derived from its coiling itself into a series of circles. The Lion in Hebrew is LeBIAW. The B is dropped in English, Latin, and Greek. And we have Leo in Latin. Perhaps we might say that the B is transferred to the end, and becomes N. KITTEN? From the Hebrew QuiToN, which signifies "a little one." That which the Hebrews applied generally, we have, singularly enough, appropriated to the young of the cat alone. CAMEL? From the Hebrew GeMeL, which signifies the same animal. Here the G of the Hebrew becomes changed into the C or K of the English, Latin, and Greek.
What is the derivation of the word ELEPHANT? It comes from the Hebrew ELePH, which means an ox. But how is an elephant like an ox? I answer, the termination "ant" carries with it, most probably, the word which denoted the difference between it and the common ox. We naturally, on seeing a new creature, associate it with one familiar to us.
Some of the South Sea Islanders, as Williams has informed us, had never beheld a European, or the animals with which we are familiar. Hence, as he observes, "On seeing the goats, they called to their companions to come and look at the wonderful birds with great teeth upon their heads." So with us, "the cock of the woods" and "the wood-cock" are very different birds from the common barn-door cock. This same Hebrew word was the origin of the Greek Elaphos, 'a stag.' And it is very remarkable that we find the same combination of "ant," and "elaph" in the ANTELOPE. I am not clear what is the meaning of "ant."
The Hebrew SHOOR, and the Chaldee TOOR signify an ox; whence we obtain our English STEER. The name of the Jerboa arises from the Hebrew ZHeB'O, which means a hyena. The Chaldee adds the R. Our word BADGER is derived from the Hebrew 'ACBaR, which means a mouse. By transposition we have BACaR, whence "Badger" easily springs. GIRAFFE? From the Hebrew GaRaPH, which signifies "the neck;" and every one who has seen that creature, knows that its great peculiarity is the enormous elongation of its neck. GOAT and KID? From two different pronunciations of the Hebrew GiDI, which signifies that animal in the sacred tongue. Our expression "the giddy heights" perhaps springs from the remembrance of the lofty pinnacles of rock to which these creatures climb. The heights to which the mountain goats climb, produce in us the sensation of "giddiness." ZEBRA?
From the Hebrew ZeBI, which signifies a roe-buck. The "R" in the midst, and the "A" at the end come from the Chaldee, which frequently adds these letters. Indeed, the R occurs so often in English, where it is not found in the Hebrew, as to make it most probable that the Hebrew came to us through the Chaldee. The DOE clearly is traceable to the TOA, or antelope.
SECTION 2: Now turn to some examples of BIRDS. We have two names of birds spelt differently, but of the same radical base. COOT and KITE, These are off-shoots, I doubt not, from the Hebrew QuAT. (I retain the English letter Q to represent the Hebrew Koph or Quoph, though I suppose it was generally pronounced K). Probably also our CAT is derived therefrom, though whence the confusion arose, it would be difficult to determine, without the history of Genesis XI. The meaning of the Hebrew word is "the pelican," or cormorant.
The Hebrew speaks of a bird called INSOP. This is supposed to be a water-fowl of some kind. The Septuagint renders the word, ibis: our translators, "the great owl." But whatever its original signification, it is the parent of our word SNIPE, a bird fond of marshy places. This is an instance of the Saxon love of brevity. Two syllables in the Hebrew are contracted into on in English. This principle appears often.
DOVE? From the Hebrew DOoB; which signifies to murmur. The B was frequently pronounced V. Sometimes also it was changed into P and PH, as I have noted above. The SARROW is found in most parts of the old world. What is its Hebrew name? ZaPPOR. The Saxon word has manifestly spring from this.
The Z and P combine, the vowel is inserted after them, and the long O, which is Hebrew precedes the R, is set last: 'Sparrow.' The Latin name is another variation of the same letters: PASSER. Hence too the Greek Peristera, 'a dove.' PELICAN? From the Hebrew PeLeG, which signifies a stream or channel. it indicates, then, a water-bird: and it is well known, the Pelican obtains its food from the water. RAVEN derived? From the Hebrew 'ARaB. (I denote the Hebrew letter Ayin by an A or E or O with a comma, thus: 'A, 'E, or 'O). Transpose the two first letters, and add an N, which addition at the close is common in Hebrew, and you have RAVEN. Thence, too, our ROBIN.
The CROW (or Rook) takes his name from his perpetual "Caw-caw." His appellation is derived from the Hebrew QRAW, with a broad A, which means to call. The name "Rook" comes from the same letters transposed. Hence also come our words "cry," and "crew," a number of men whose names are called over, and who must answer to the call. A bird's "craw" comes from the Hebrew GeRaH, which signifies "the cud." We may often hear at nightfall, especially in the spring a harsh, reedy call of a single note, proceeding from the midst of the corn. This cry is uttered by the corn-CRAIN. Its name is derived from the Hebrew HRaiQ, which means the unpleasant sound produced by grinding or gnashing the teeth.
Now, as the genius of our language will not admit of "H" immediately preceding "R," the H is turned into its sister letter C, and it becomes the parent of words descriptive of unpleasant sounds, as creak, croak. This is also the origin of the Greek word for "CROW" �KORAX. Hence Keerux, a herald. The HAWK was formerly called HAFOC by the Saxons. It is still in Danish Havik; in German Habicht. It derives its name from the Hebrew HaFoC, which means "the Destroyer." We still retain the word "HAVOC," AS MEANING DESTRUCTION. DAW? From DAH, which probably means a kite. Our Chough from SeHOUPH, a 'sea-gull.'
What shall we say is the origin of our word EGRET? It comes from the word 'EGORT, a crane. The word CRANE is derived from the Hebrew GaRaN, a throat. It is related of one of the epicures among the ancients, that, believing the throat to be the organ of taste, he wished his throat were as long as a crane's. From this word is derived the Greek Geranos, and the Latin Grus; each of which signifies "the crane." Our word GULL, to move in a circuit: which is quite characteristic of the sea-gull. The name of the CONDOR comes from the Hebrew QoDoR, which means to be dark; the N being inserted by way of strengthening in the root. From the same base is derived the brook KEDRON. The name TOUCAN is probably obtained from the Hebrew TooQuaN, to be straight; from the remarkably long bill of the bird.
Hebrew is traceable in the Latin and Greek names also. The Latin name of the Nightingale is Luscinia, which is derived from the Hebrew LuSHeN, the tongue. Its melodius voice could but give it its distinguishing title, "the bird with the tongue of melody." So the ASS is in Latin Asinus, which is derived from the Hebrew AZiN, an ear. Its long ears gave it the name of 'the beast with the prominent ears.' The Greeks called the SWALLOW, Chelidon. This comes from the Hebrew HheLID, which signifies "transient." It took its name as being "the bird of passage." Our word SWALLOW comes from the Hebrew SaLO, which we translate "quail" in the history of Israel in the wilderness; but which Forster has shown to mean a red-legged goose.
The Greek Actos signifies an eagle. It takes it origin from the Hebrew AiT, which means, a bird or beast of prey. The Latin Aquila, which also signifies an eagle, comes from the Hebrew AKuL, a devourer. Our Osprey derives from PeRoS, a kind of eagle.
SECTION 3: Shall we look to some specimens among the FISHES? Where do we obtain����������������� the word FISH? From the Hebrew NePHeSH, which generally signifies a living creature; but fishes are the first to which it is applies: Genesis 1:21. But we, after dropping the first letter N, (which is a very unstable one in that language), have appropriated it to one class of animals in the sea. Thence, too, spring the Latin Piscis, and the French Poisson. Hence also probably our Puss.
What is the Hebrew for SCORPION? 'AQRaB. 'But we have no scorpions! How then should that name be naturalized among us?' It is true that we have no scorpions; and let us be thankful for it! But when our ancestors travelled from the east to our shores, they saw a creature in the sea possessed of great claws, moving about like a scorpion; and they cried, "Acrab! 'Acrab!"
The first A was mistaken for the English indefinite article; and our love of monosyllables soon cut it short into CRAB. This is also the parent of the Greek and Latin Scorpio. The S is added by the Chaldee. The 'A and Q change places, and become "Sco." The B becomes a P, and so we have Scorpio.
Hence also the Latin Crabro, 'a hornet.' The Latin word for CRAB, Cancer, (the second C being hard), springs from the Hebrew CaCaR, a circle, with the strengthening N. The fish's body is CIRCULAR. The WHELK is a shell-fish which sticks to the rocks. It comes from the Hebrew 'ELQ, to adhere. The Elk comes from this root.
Probably too our LEECH is derived from the same root by transposition. The Hebrew HaDDoQ signifies a thorn. The name probably originally signified some fish with a thorny back. But the English HADDOCK clearly derives thence its name. Our PERCH takes its name, from the Hebrew PeRaHH, which signifies to break out, to shoot out; and it refers probably to its power of erecting the prickles on its back.
SECTION 4: Shall we now take a glance at INSECTS? The spider in Hebrew is 'ECVIS. With the Chaldee R added, it becomes the French Ecrevisse; which we have turned into CRAYFISH. (Max Muller noticed the two cognate words in French and English, but not its Hebrew origin). Here is a curious change of meaning.
The WASP takes its name from its sting. The Hebrew root is 'AZB, the meaning of which is "pain." The peculiar Hebrew letter with which it begins, is often expressed in English by an initial W, as we have seen above in the case of WHELK. Hence, too, the Latin Vespa, 'a wasp.' The FLEA in Hebrew is FR'AS. But philologists are agreed, that the "L" and "R" are constantly interchanged. A lisping pronunciation of "R" makes "L." The "S" was dropped as being in our language a sign of the plural. Thence we have FLEA.
There is a singular worm which surrounds itself with stones and sticks, well known to anglers, and called the CADDIS-WORM. This name is derived from the Hebrew QuaDeSH, which signifies "Holy." Jerusalem in our day is called 'EL KUDS, "the Holy." From this I should gather, that the creature was once regarded as holy. Nor would it be difficult to guess whence its title was derived. The English word BEETLE may be derived from the Hebrew FLaT, by transposition. It is the original of our words FLAT; PLATE; FLEET; FLOAT; FLIT; PETAL; and others.
The word EMMET takes its origin from the Hebrew 'EMiH, "to associate together," "a people" owing to the creature's social propensities.� The English MOTH is derived from the Hebrew M'OT, "little," "small" -- whence also our "MOTE," and "MITE." The word WORM springs, I believe, from the Hebrew 'ORM, "to be naked," "to be slippery." Here again the peculiar letter with which the Hebrew word begins, is expressed in English by "W." Hence too the Latin Vermis and the Greek Helmins. The destructive LOCUST takes its name from the Hebrew LoQueSH, "to pluck," "to consume." The GNAT takes its name from NaD, "to fly."
SECTION 5: I will now give instances in which our names for members of the VEGETABLE KINGDOM are from the Hebrew. Let us notice first the word Shrub, which is derived from the Hebrew ZhRuB, signifying to be straitened; the Shrub being smaller than the tree.
The Latin word for Leaf is Folium; the Greek, Fullon; the French, Feuille. We have ourselves adopted the word TRE-FOIL, or "the three-leaved plant." This word is derived from the Hebrew 'OLI. The Hebrew letter Oin is very peculiar, and, when transferred into other languages, often takes before it what grammarians call "the digamma," or F, in place of aspiration. This, then, gives us the Latin Folium, together with the Greek and French forms.
Leaf is derived from the same letters transposed -- FOIL, Leaf. From the same root we may conclude that the word Loaf arises. The bread made in early times, and in eastern lands, was in the form of a broad thin cake, like Scotch oatmeal cakes. These cakes were stuck against the side of the oven, and so baked. From their thin leaf-like form came the word Loaf. This gives us also, I believe, the derivation of the word Brend. It comes from Broad. In German, the word Brod signifies both Loaf and Bread. The botanic word Frond, taken from the Lain, is derived from the Hebrew FRoD, to spread; N being added, as frequently is the case, to strengthen the root.
The English Berry has its origin in the Hebrew PeRi, which means "Fruit in general." Our word fruit, in the French represented by the same letters, in Spanish Fruto; in the Italian, Frutto, is derived, through the Latin Fructus, from the Hebrew FRuCH, which means "to bud or blossom." The Greek Opora is evidently the offspring of the first of the two words. It signifies "tree fruits," as pears, apples, grapes and etc. Observe the "O" at the commencement; a not uncommon addition in Greek.
Our word Branch takes its rise from BRaCH, "to reach across -- a bar, a cross beam": N being added, as in former instances, to strengthen the root. Bark is derived from BOOK, "to roll round." The R is added by the Chaldee. Hence comes our Book, which was formerly a roll or scroll. Sap owes its origin to the Hebrew ZaB, "to flow;" Gum to the Hebrew GaM, "to join together." Hence the Greek 'Gamos,' marriage.
The old English Wort; in German, Wurz; in Swedish, Ort; in French, Vert, verd; in Latin, Viridis, is derived from the Hebrew YROK, "to be green." The first letter here is generally rendered into English by "W." Then the vowel "O" is taken out of its place in order to follow the "W." Here is another example of a word of two syllables in Hebrew being shortened into one in English. The term "wort" is familiar to botanists, as forming an association with many names of plants. Star-wort, mug-wort, spleen-wort. The final K has apparently become T in English, to distinguish it from work.
We could go on and on, but we believe this will suffice to prove that THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE CAME FROM THE HEBREW!
44). Israel to possess the gates of his enemies.
"That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and THY SEED SHALL POSSESS THE GATE OF HIS ENEMIES." [426]; "And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and LET THY SEED POSSESS THE GATE OF THOSE WHICH HATE THEM." [427]
45). Israel to find its enemies diminishing before them.

[428]; "But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend. Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant, I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away. Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God; I WILL STRENGTHEN THEE; YEA, I WILL HELP THEE; YEA, I WILL UPHOLD THEE WITH THE RIGHT HAND OF MY RIGHTEOUSNESS. Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: THEY SHALL BE AS NOTHING; AND THEY THAT STRIVE WITH THEE SHALL PERISH. Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even from them that contended with thee: THEY THAT WAR AGAINST THEE SHALL BE AS NOTHING, AND AS A THING OF NOUGHT. For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel." [429]; "For the NATION AND KINGDOM THAT WILL NOT SERVE THEE SHALL PERISH; yea, THOSE NATIONS SHALL BE UTTERLY WASTED." [430]; "For thus saith the Lord; Sing with gladness for Jacob and SHOUT AMONG THE CHIEF OF THE NATIONS: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O Lord, save thy people, the remnant of Israel. Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither. They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn." [431]

47). Israel to have a new religion ‑ a New Covenant.
"These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received freely give. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, Nor script for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meal."

[439]; "And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, Nor consider that it is expedient for US [Jews], that one man should die for the people [Jews], and that the whole [Jewish] nation perish not. And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for THAT [Jewish] NATION; And not for that nation only, BUT THAT ALSO HE [Christ] SHOULD GATHER TOGETHER IN ONE THE CHILDREN OF GOD [Israelites ‑‑ Do you see the Chief Priest of the Jews was AFRAID that Jesus would gather together WHAT? THE CHILDREN OF GOD ‑‑ THE TRUE ISRAELITES. �ecause if He did they would destroy the Jewish Nation!!!] that were scattered abroad." [440]; "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree." [441]; "By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the BODY OF JESUS CHRIST ONCE FOR ALL. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, SAT DOWN ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD; From henceforth expecting till HIS ENEMIES BE MADE HIS FOOTSTOOL." [442]
48). Israel to lose all trace of her identity or lineage.
"And I will bring the blind BY A WAY THAT THEY KNEW NOT; I WILL LEAD THEM IN PATHS THAT THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and NOT FORSAKE THEM. They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, and that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods. Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the Lord's servant?" [443]; "Even unto them [Israel] will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and A NAME BETTER THAN OF SONS AND OF DAUGHTERS: I WILL GIVE THEM AN EVERLASTING NAME, that shall not be cut off."

[445]; "Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God. Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, YE ARE THE SONS OF THE LIVING GOD." [446]; "Therefore, behold, I WILL HEDGE UP THY WAY WITH THORNS, AND MAKE A WALL, THAT SHE [Israel] SHALL NOT FIND HER PATHS [In other words God is saying that He WILL NOT ALLOW ISRAEL TO RETURN TO PALESTINE!]...For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, AND THEY [Israel] SHALL NO MORE BE REMEMBERED BY THEIR NAME." [447]; "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that BLINDNESS IN PART IS HAPPENED TO ISRAEL, until the fullness of the Gentiles [Nations] be come in." [448]
49). Israel would "NEVER" return to Palestine.
"And I will bring the blind BY A WAY THAT THEY KNEW NOT; I WILL LEAD THEM IN PATHS THAT THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and NOT FORSAKE THEM. They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, and that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods. Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the Lord's servant?" [449]; "Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God. Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, YE ARE THE SONS OF THE LIVING GOD." [450]; "Therefore, behold, I WILL HEDGE UP THY WAY WITH THORNS, AND MAKE A WALL, THAT SHE [Israel] SHALL NOT FIND HER PATHS ...For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, AND THEY [Israel] SHALL NO MORE BE REMEMBERED BY THEIR NAME."

50). Israel to keep the sabbath forever.
"Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death; for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed." [453]; "If thou turn away thy foot from the SABBATH, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and CALL THE SABBATH A DELIGHT, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honor him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words; Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it." [454]
51). Israel to be called the sons of God ‑ accept CHRIST ‑ ianity.
"Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my [God's] people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God. Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel." [455]
52). Israel to be a people saved by the Lord.
"The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them. Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew. Happy art thou, O Israel, who is like unto thee O people saved by the Lord, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places." [456]; "But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend. Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant, I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away. Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; Yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. Thou shalt seek them, and shall not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel." [457]; "But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. Since thou was precious in my sight, thou has been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; Even Every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears." [458]; "Yet not hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen: Thus saith the Lord that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen. For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessings upon thine offspring." [459]; "But thus saith the Lord, even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh: and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob." [460]; "Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the pit whence ye are digged. Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him. For the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people. My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust. Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished. Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. For the Moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation. Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon? Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over? Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away. I, even I, am he that comforeth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass." [461]; "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrow, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our face from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. He shall see the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors." [462]; "But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid. Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the Lord: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished." [463]; "Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country. I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God. I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: But I will destroy the fat and the strong, I will feed them with judgment." [464]; "And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God." [465]; "O Israel, thou has destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help. I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes? I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath. The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid. The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children. I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes." [466]; "I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for min anger is turned away from him. I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon." [467]; "But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." [468]; "But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." [469]
53). Israel to be custodians of the oracles ‑ Scriptures ‑ of God.
"He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. HE [God] HATH NOT DEALT SO WITH ANY NATION: and as for his judgments, THEY [The other nations] HAVE NOT KNOWN THEM. Praise ye the Lord." [470]; "AS FOR ME, THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM [Israel], saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever."

[472]; "YE ARE MY WITNESSES, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no savior. I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore YE ARE MY WITNESSES, saith the Lord, that I am God." [473] "This people have I formed for myself; THEY SHALL SHEW FORTH MY PRAISE."

"If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: But THOU SHALT OPEN THINE HAND WIDE UNTO HIM, AND SHALT SURELY LEND HIM SUFFICIENT FOR HIS NEED, in that which he wanteth. Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought: and he cry unto the Lord against thee, and it be sin unto thee. Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto. For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land." [476]; "He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor." [477]; "To open the blind eyes, TO BRING OUT THE PRISONERS FROM THE PRISON, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house." [478]; "THAT THOU MAYEST SAY TO THE PRISONERS, GO FORTH; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places."

[488]; "For THOU ART AN HOLY PEOPLE UNTO THE LORD THY GOD: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth." [489]; "For THOU ART AN HOLY PEOPLE UNTO THE LORD THY GOD, and the Lord hath chosen thee TO BE A PECULIAR PEOPLE UNTO HIMSELF, above all the nations that are upon the earth." [490]; "And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom GOD WENT TO REDEEM FOR A PEOPLE TO HIMSELF, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?" [491]; "For they be thy people, and THINE INHERITANCE, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron: That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee. For THOU DIDST SEPARATE THEM FROM AMONG ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE EARTH, TO BE THINE INHERITANCE, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God." [492]; "THIS PEOPLE HAVE I FORMED FOR MYSELF; they shall shew forth my praise." [493]; "But he wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers to dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for THE TRANSGRESSION OF MY [God's] PEOPLE [Israel] WAS HE [Christ] STRICKEN. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he that put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his see, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand."

And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the Lord, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth; And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel. And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God."

[496]; "Feed thy people with thy rod, THE FLOCK OF THINE HERITAGE, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel... According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvelous things. The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf. They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the Lord our God, and shall fear because of thee. Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression OF THE REMNANT OF HIS HERITAGE? He retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy." [497]
60). Israel is the nation appointed to bring Glory to God.
"But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend. Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant, I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away. Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord and thy redeemer, the Holy one of Israel. Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff. Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, and SHALT GLORY IN THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL." [498]; "Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no savior. I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord that I am God. Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand; I will work, and who shall let it? Thus saith the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships. I am the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow. Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; and shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. The beast of the field shall honor me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink TO MY PEOPLE, MY CHOSEN. THIS PEOPLE HAVE I FORMED FOR MYSELF; THEY SHALL SHEW FORTH MY PRAISE." [499]; "Sing, O ye heavens; for the Lord hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, AND GLORIFIED HIMSELF IN ISRAEL." [500]; "And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O ISRAEL, IN WHOM I WILL BE GLORIFIED." [501]
61). The Promised Nation to be a Republic.
"And I WILL RESTORE THY JUDGES AS AT THE FIRST, AND THY COUNSELLORS AS AT THE BEGINNING: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city." [502]; "And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor [President] shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the Lord." [503]; "Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and APPOINT THEMSELVES ONE HEAD [President], and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel." [504]
"One head," ‑‑ President ‑‑ appointed ‑‑ Elected ‑‑ by the people, governors, judges and counsellors taken from the masses of the people are particularly promised, BUT NO KING; BECAUSE CHRIST IS OUR KING!
Peter Marshall and David Manuel in their book "The Light and The Glory" put it this way: "In like spirit, the new year of 1773 was rung in by the men... 'Death,' they proclaimed unanimously on the first of January, 'is more eligible than slavery. A freeborn people are not required by the religion of Jesus Christ to submit to tyranny, and may make use of such power as God has given them to recover and support their laws and liberties... [We] implore the Ruler above the skies, that He would make bare His arm in defense of His Church and people, and let Israel go.' It is interesting to note that a pivotal change had taken place in American rhetoric: no longer were the exhortations coming exclusively from the pulpits and a few zealous 'patriots'; the broad mass of the people themselves had taken up the torch and were carrying it forward on their own. And now even a governor, Jonathan Trumbull of Connecticut, spoke out openly in defense of freedom: 'It is hard to break connections with our mother country, but when she strives to enslave us, the strictest union must be dissolved...'The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitudes of isles be glad thereof,' the accomplishment of such noble prophecies is at hand.'
���� But most Crown‑appointed governors remained submitted to their king, and one wrote to the Board of Trade in England: 'If you ask an American, who is his master? He will tell you he has none, nor any governor but Jesus Christ.' Which may have given rise to the cry which was soon passed up and down the length of America by the Committees of Correspondence: 'NO KING BUT KING JESUS!'"
So, the dawn broke on the year 1775. The nation responded as one body to the ringing words of Patrick Henry's famous speech, given on March 23 in the Virginia House of Burgesses: "Mr. President: It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of the siren until she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who having eyes see not, and having hears hear not the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and to provide for it.
���� I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British Ministry for the last ten years, to justify those hopes with which our petition has been lately received?
���� Trust it not, it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with those warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation ‑‑ the last arguments to which kings resort. I say, gentlemen, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission?������
���� Can you assign any other possible motive for it? Has Britain any enemy in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us; they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British Ministry have been so long foraging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, deceive ourselves longer.
���� Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned, we have remonstrated, we have supplicated, we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the Ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned with contempt from the foot of the throne. In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation.
���� There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free, if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending, if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained ‑‑ we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us! They tell us, sir, that we are weak ‑‑ unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive� phantom of hope until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak, if we make a proper use of those means which the God of Nature has placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone.
���� THERE IS A JUST GOD WHO PRESIDES OVER THE DESTINIES OF NATIONS; and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged; their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable ‑‑ and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come! It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, peace; but there is no peace. The war is actually begun. The next gale that sweeps from the North will bring to our ears the clashing of resounding arms. Our brethren are already in the field. Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
Just prior to the signing of the Declaration of Independence our Fore Fathers faced with the death penalty for high treason, even though they were courageous men, they debated long before they picked up the quill pen to sign the parchment that declared the independence of the colonies from the mother country. For many hours they debated in the State House at Philadelphia, with the lower chamber doors locked and a guard posted ‑ when suddenly a voice rang out from the balcony. A burst of eloquence to the keynote, it was Patrick Henry giving a second speech which has been deleted from our American History Books. To be sure there had been several speeches. In the balcony patriotic citizens crowded all available space and listened attentively to the proceedings. Jefferson expressed himself with great vigor; and John Adams, of Boston, spoke with great strength.
The Philadelphia printer, Dr. Benjamin Franklin, quiet and calm as usual, spoke his mind with well chosen words. The delegates hovered between sympathy and uncertainty as the long hours of the summer day crept by, for life in sweet when there is danger of losing it. The lower doors were locked and a guard was posted to prevent further interruptions. It was then, according to Jefferson, late in the afternoon before the delegates gathered their courage to the sticking point. The talk was about axes, scaffolds, and the gibbet, when suddenly the strong, bold voice of Patrick Henry rang out and said: "Gibbet! They may stretch our necks on all the gibbets in the land; they may turn every rock into a scaffold; every tree into a gallows; every home into a grave, and yet the words of that parchment can never die! They may pour our blood on a thousand scaffolds, and yet from every drop that dyes the axe a new champion of freedom will spring into birth! The British King may blot out the stars of God from the sky, but he cannot blot out His Words written on that parchment there. The works of God may perish: His Words never!
���� The words of this declaration will live in the world long after our bones are dust. To the mechanic in his workshop they will speak hope: to the slave in the mines, freedom: but to the coward kings, these words will speak in tones of warning they cannot choose but hear.
���� Sign that parchment! Sign, if the next moment the gibbet's rope is about your neck! Sign, if the next minute this hall rings with the clash of falling axes! Sign, by all your hopes in life or death, as men, as husbands, as fathers, brothers, sign your names to the parchment, or be accursed forever! Sign, and not only for yourselves, but for all ages, for that parchment will be the textbook of freedom, the bible of the rights of man forever.
���� Nay, do not start and whisper with surprise! It is truth, your own hearts witness it: God proclaims it. Look at this strange band of exiles and outcasts, suddenly transformed into a people; a handful of men, weak in arms, but mighty in God‑like faith; nay, look at your recent achievements, your Bunker Hill, your Lexington, and ten tell me, if you can, that God has not given America to be free! It is not given to our poor human intellect to climb to the skies, and to pierce the Council of the Almighty One. But methinks I stand among the awful clouds which veil the brightness of Jehovah's throne.
���� Methinks I see the recording Angel come trembling up to that throne and speak his dread message. 'Father, the old world is baptized in blood. Father, look with one glance of thine sight, man trodden beneath the oppressor's feet, nations lost in blood, murder, and superstition, walked hand in hand over the graves of the victims, and not a single voice of hope to man!' He stands there, the Angel, trembling with the record of human guilt. But hark! The voice of God speaks from out of the awful cloud: 'Let there be light again! Tell my people, the poor and oppressed, to go out from the old world, from oppression and blood, and build My altar in the new.' As I live, my friends, I believe that to be His voice! Yes, were my soul trembling on the verge of eternity, were this hand freezing in death, were this voice chocking in the last struggle, I would still, with the last impulse of that soul, with the last wave of that hand, with the last gasp of that voice, implore you to remember this truth ‑ God has given America to be free!
���� Yes, as I sink into the gloomy shadows of the grave, with my last faint whisper I would beg you to sign that parchment for the sake of those millions whose very breath is now hushed in intense expectation as they look up to you for the awful words: 'You are free.'"
The delegates, carried away by his enthusiasm, rushed forward. John Hancock scarcely had time to pen his bold signature before the quill was grasped by another. It was done.
62). Latter day Israel to be captive of "Mystery Babylon."
"Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies. Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion." [505]; "For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth...and thou shalt be CALLED BY A NEW NAME [Israel was to have her name changed by the Lord; just as He changed the name of Abram to Abraham; Jacob's name to Israel], which the mouth of the Lord shall name. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the Lord delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married." [506]
These verses not only relate that Israel was to have a new name but that Zion and Jerusalem were also to have a new name. These verses were also talking of a "LAND" which would be called by another name. One of the reasons that so many people are looking toward the Middle East for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy; is they fail to recognize the Zion of the scriptures, in the last days, would be called by another name! As a result, of the revelations of this book, there can no longer be any doubt that this new land is AMERICA; which means in the Gothic language "Heavenly Kingdom." �"I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand. Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof. And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him. And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein: For I saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her. Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the Lord: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the Lord. Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye." [507]
A). This cannot be the land known to the world today as Israel, because that land is a very small country, with almost every town and village protected by actual walls, land mines and barbed wire.
Now, some may ask what is meant by cities without walls? It means a country with cities that are at peace, unaware and unsuspecting that anything is about to happen to it.
B). A multitude of cattle is used to indicate great agricultural wealth. There is almost no real wealth in the present day State of Israel insofar as agricultural wealth is concerned. And it would have none at all if it were not for the traitors in the United States Government which allows the Jews to ship in what few agricultural products produced in that Bastard State, to the detriment of it's own citizens.
As far as cattle is concerned, there are more cattle in the slaughter pens of America each and every day, than there are in the entire country of Israel. The land that Zechariah is describing is a great land. A land so large in area, cattle and men that it takes an angel to measure it. And for anyone to even attempt to place this land in Palestine and claim it to be the state of Israel; is to deny the Scriptures and to call God a liar! "The Lord shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah. As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee." [508]
C). Here we see that Zion is a place where people would long to be born. Whereas, the only people who MIGHT desire to be born in the present day State of Israel would be a few Jews; and not very many of those at that; because most of them ALMOST have to be hogtied and forced to move there. Notwith-standing that for hundreds of years, they cried out to all who would listen, for a country of their own. And now that they have one; few have the desire to go and live there. This is because The Jews are nothing but Parasites and they know they could NOT exist without a host country to steal their substance from.
They cannot farm and be successful because the ground is cursed to them by God Almighty: "And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now ART THOU CURSED FROM THE EARTH, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; WHEN THOU TILLEST THE GROUND, IT SHALL NOT HENCEFORTH YIELD UNTO THEE HER STRENGTH; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth." [509]
They cannot ranch; they cannot invent anything of value; they cannot be true to any country they reside in. In fact, they cannot even be true to their own people; Look at the great number of their own people they have destroyed, in order to keep the cry of Anti-Semitism alive! Our Israel people must face the reality of our present status. We are a people in captivity, just as surely as our Israelite ancestors were when they were under Egypt, Moab, Midianite, Amalekites, Philistines, Assyrians or Babylonanians; so are we captives in America today.
We have been dispossessed of our land. We are now living in enemy country. Aliens are swarming into our land; so that we are strangers amidst the heathen faces that have crowded into our cities and market places and are even now spilling into our rural areas. The racial countenance of our people grows ever more dark; because of mixed marriages; our peoples' mental capabilities are decreasing, and the white minority living in America are ever faster targeted for destruction. WE ARE IN THE BONDAGE OF MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, and to all appearances our American Captivity may end us as the singularly greatest captivity of our race.
We are now witnessing what may be the final captivity in a long series of historical events that have rendered our race as a people in servitude to foreign and alien powers. The Anglo‑Saxon Israelite Race was in bondage in ancient Egypt [510]. Later, the Israelites were enslaved during the Assyrian Captivity, during which the Northern Ten‑Tribes were dispersed [511] and the Southern Tribes during the Babylonian Captivity [512]. Therefore, we Israelites not living in the American Captivity under "Mystery Babylon the Great" are in what will, in all likelihood, be the last and greatest of all the captivities.
In the Book of Micah we find the prophet wrote of a PLACE called Zion. "Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion [Not the old Zion in Palestine, but THE DAUGHTER; A NEW ZION], like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon." [513]
Now let us turn to Zechariah where we find: "Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon." [514]
Most Christians who attend church, or listen to radio or watch television evangelists are familiar with the name Zion. They have heard them preach about it; there are songs about it; in fact, almost every mention of it is about a beautiful, peaceful and serene place, where anyone, not just Christians would desire to go. But here are two passages of Scripture where Zion is a place of turmoil and pain; a place that is in need of being freed and delivered from something called "BABYLON."
The Clergy of Organized Religion has told Christians thousands of times over the years that Zion and new Jerusalem are Bible names for Heaven. But these teachings become more and more false as we find passages in the Scriptures, where it is told that both Zion and New Jerusalem are in trouble.
Which produces a very interesting question: If Zion and New Jerusalem are in Heaven, where Almighty God resides; then how is it possible for it to be in pain, travail or trouble? However, all of these Scriptures become more clear and understandable when one realizes that the names Zion and New Jerusalem are in actuality the names of the NATION of REGATHERED ISRAEL. "And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast FAR off [Israel] a STRONG NATION: and the Lord [Christ] shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever." [515]
Some of the Scriptures we will study are about events which have already taken place; some of them are about events which are happening TODAY; and some of them are about events which WILL happen in the future.
Also in previous chapters we have proven to any who are not Spiritually Blind that AMERICA IS THE "STRONG NATION," the nation of REGATHERED ISRAEL and IS both ZION and NEW JERUSALEM.
So you should begin to see, it is America who has gone "even to Babylon," and dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. In other words America has come under and is even now being controlled by this anti‑God, antichrist, antichristian world power, spoken of and known in the Scriptures as Babylon in both the Old and New Testaments. And what we see happening in America is EXACTLY what was written in God's Holy Word. Now let's return to Micah: "But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains [The greatest most powerful and blessed nation of all the nations on earth], and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people [Israelites] shall flow unto it."
Please keep in mind that in Bible prophecy mount or mountain represents a large nation or world power; and hiss represent lessor smaller nations or countries. So that you may see that this is true; turn to Jeremiah 51:25, where God condemns the nation of Babylon and He said; "Behold, I am against thee, O destroying MOUNTAIN...and I will...make thee a burnt mountain [nation]." So here in verse one of Micah Chapter Four as in Isaiah verse one of Chapter Two we find God saying He will establish the mountain or the NATION of the house of the Lord in the top of the mountains or nations. In other words ABOVE the other nations of the earth.
Now you can see and understand that whenever we read the term "the house of the Lord" where it does not mean the actual Temple or place of worship: IT ALWAYS STANDS FOR THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. For they are God's house, the people of Israel, the place where God would dwell. "What! know ye not that ye are THE TEMPLE of God, and that the spirit of God [Holy Spirit] dwelleth in you?" [516]; "...for ye are THE TEMPLE of the living God." [517]
Continuing on in Micah, "And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain [Nation] of the Lord [The regathered nation of Israel ‑‑ Which is not the Murderous, Outlaw and Bandit state know as Israel today], and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he [Christ] will teach us of his ways, and will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord Jerusalem." [518]
This is NOT speaking of heaven, which is spoken of so often by the Clergy of Organized Religion; but is obviously of a place ON THE EARTH where the people of the earth would be able to come to receive instruction and to be taught the Law and the Word of the Lord.
Micah then goes on to say, "And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plow shares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it [This appears to mean the end of oppression and crime upon the earth]. For all people will walk every one in the name of his god [Here it appears that even while Christ is on His Throne, HERE ON THE EARTH, there are people outside of Zion and New Jerusalem which will worship gods other than God Almighty!], and we [Israel and Christians] will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever [It sounds like Israel is living in a perfected kingdom]. In that day, saith the Lord [What day? It is obviously in reference to a day among the last days as spoken of in verse one. Therefore, from verse six onward this is ALSO something that will come to pass in THE LAST DAYS]." [519]
We will pause here to remind you that: The Bible phrase "the last days" does not mean just a few days or even a few years; it is that period of time between the first coming [Advent] and the second coming [Advent] of the Lord Jesus Christ.
�������������������������������������������������������������� The Never-Ending Last Days??
"These are the last days" cries a radio or television preacher, one of which, calls himself a prophet of God; who sends out numerous newsletters and religious publications; so teaches the television evangelist with a book on prophecy for sale; so say and think concerned citizens throughout the land. So has it been said for 2000 years!
As the Scriptures say, there is nothing new under the sun and so it is with men and their last days theology. Gary DeMar in his book "Last Days Madness," shows the list of such men is long and dated, going back as early as the second and third centuries. For example, there was Montanus, a self appointed Prophet of God predicting the end. "In the third century, a prophet called Novatian gathered a huge following by crying, 'Come, Lord Jesus!' Donatus, a fourth-century prophet, commanded attention when he stressed that only 144,000 people would be chosen by God. He found his magic figure in Revelation 14:1 (a verse which the Jehovah's Witnesses use to proclaim their own version of his heresy). Both Novatian and Donatus were branded as heretics by the Church." [520]
Martin Luther wrote in 1532: "The last day is at hand. My calendar has run out. I know nothing more in my Scriptures." [521]
As the year 1000 A.D. drew near, the old St. Peter's basilica was thronged with weeping, trembling masses awaiting the end of the world. Then there was a similar conviction in 1100, 1200 and 1245. "In 1531, Melchior Hofmann announced that the second coming would take place in the year 1533...Nicholas Casa held that the world would not last past 1734." [522]
Edgar C. Whisent put out a book, "88 Reasons Why the Rapture is in 1988."� In 1992, Charles R. Taylor in "Bible Prophecy News" said: "What you are starting to read probably is my final issue of Bible Prophecy News, for Bible prophecy fulfillment indicates that Jesus Christ our Lord will most likely return for us at the Rapture of the Church before the fall 1992 issue can be printed."
"1994?" was a writing by Harold Camping predicting Jesus would return sometime in the fall of 1994. David Allen Lewish wrote a book "Prophecy 2000: Rushing to Armageddon." Dave Hunt wrote "Peace and the Rise of Antichrist." Also, let's not forget Hal Lindsey's most profitable book "The Late Great Planet Earth" with a sale of 25,000,000 copies.
What Does The Bible Teach Concerning The Last Days?: If that question was properly answered, the last days proclaimers wouldn't sell many books or reap much in donations to stay on the airwaves. For the LAST DAYS existed 2000 years ago, according to the Bible. Consider the words of Hebrews 1:1-2: "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath IN THESE LAST DAYS spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds."
Now here are some Bible questions for you: According to Hebrews 1:1-2, the writer of Hebrews considered the last days to be:
a). Something coming in the distant future (like 2000 A.D.).
b). The very last days in which he wrote the words "hath in these last days."
c). Impossible to understand and predict without reading a book on prophecy or hearing a self proclaimed prophet.
We find the allegories being used all through the Scriptures. No one has a problem with Juda being called a lion's whelp [523]; Zebulun as a foal and an ass's colt [524]; Issachar as a strong ass [525]; Naphtali as a hind {A red deer ‑‑ one that is fully grown} [526]; Joseph as a bough {branch or limb of a tree} [527]; Benjamin as a wolf [528]; All the tribes as a lion [529]; Gad as a lion [530]; Dan as a lion's whelp [531]; Jesus as a Lamb (Throughout the Book of Revelation); Israel as a speckled bird [532]; A nation of the East as a ravenous bird [533]; Preachers as fishers [534]; Pharaoh King of Egypt as a young lion and a whale [535] and Herod as a fox [536]. There are many more allegories which could be presented but we believe this should suffice. Was any of these men such an animal or thing? Of course not! It is simply a description of the characteristics of these separate individuals.
Then we have the false doctrine of the Pharisees, Sadducees and Herod described as Leaven [537]. Thus we can clearly see that it is not at all unusual for a word to be used to illustrate something more impressively. And that is what we are talking about.
When the word "lion" is used for Judah, we are trying to really emphasize the strength of Judah. And when we use the word "serpent" we think of something sly, wicked, evil, cunning, something that hides from us, has venom, that is strong and dangerous. And that is why the word serpent is used many times as an allegory in the Scriptures. Most Christians do not have any trouble with any of these in the various verses of Scriptures until we get to one of their pet verses which they have been led to believe something quite different than what the Scriptures actually teach; such as the "Last Days."
Almost 2000 years has already passed since our Lord and Savior came the first time, so many of the things prophesied to happen during "the last days" has been fulfilled. Therefore, the teachings of all too many of the Clergy of Organized Religion that "the last days" means only a few years before Jesus' return is not Scriptural. And in fact is quite confusing to many Bible students who attempt to fit all of "the last days" into the present or near future time.
Now let's continue on: "In that day, saith the Lord, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation [This would have to be about Israel. As the description of a people driven out by God and promised by Him to be regathered, fits only the Israel People]." [538]
In case you might get the wrong impression the word "remnant" does not necessarily mean "few in number." It comes from the Hebrew word "sheriyth": "a remainder or residual (surviving, final) portion: ‑‑ that had escaped." [539]
In Micah 4:7 we can see clearly that the place where God would regather Israel and make them a "STRONG NATION" is here called "MOUNT ZION." That it would be God who would bring them to that place and His Rule over them, there, would not cease for ever. God then goes on in verse 8; "And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; THE KINGDOM [Of the Lord Jesus Christ] SHALL COME [The kingdom is going to come to them. It does not say that they, Israel, is going to be, taken to the kingdom] to the daughter of Jerusalem."
This makes sense with what we have studied so far, and from what we already know from the study of the other Bible Prophecies; that the Kingdom of Christ WOULD BE ON EARTH, NOT IN A HEAVEN ABOVE THE STARS; that it would begin in and among the regathered Israel People.
The disciples of Christ knew this, for in the first chapter of Acts we find that Jesus taught them things concerning the Kingdom for forty days after His resurrection. And before His Ascension to Heaven to sit at the right hand of God Almighty. During this time they asked only one question, at least that is the only one recorded: "...wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" [540] The disciples knew TO WHOM the Kingdom would be restored to, they just did not know when. They were, of course, familiar with the writings of Micah and with the other prophets of the Old Testament.� They knew that Israel had lost the Kingdom to the Jews because of their disobedience to God, and were divorced and cast off out of Palestine in the dispersion. But they also knew the promise of the future "Restoration" of that Kingdom to Israel.
Turning back again to Micah we have seen that the kingdom would be restored to Israel AFTER they had been regathered and made a strong nation, and known as the Mountain [Nation] of the Lord, or Zion and New Jerusalem. So when we read in Micah Chapter Four that God would assemble her that halted; gather her that was driven out; that was cast far off a strong nation, we are reading one of the prophecies which was fulfilled in the bringing of our Anglo‑Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic and Kindred people to North America: Their breaking of the ties that bound them to the old country; then their constituting themselves into a new nation, born in a day, on July 4, 1776. These who come to America were called a remnant by Micah; we would know them today by their "new name" of CHRISTIANS. Other prophecies tell us that the Israelites who would found Zion and New Jerusalem would be Christians. Prophecies such as that found in Jeremiah 3:14‑15. This was fulfilled in America [Israel] who, at its beginning, had the promised Godly Pastors.
In Jeremiah Thirty One the "remnant" are prophesied to be regathered in Zion. "For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the Lord our God. For thus saith the Lord; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O Lord, save the people, the remnant of Israel. Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company [Here we can see that a remnant does not mean just a few people, but it CAN BE and indeed IS A GREAT COMPANY] shall return thither [In the next verse is PROOF that Israel regathered would be believing Christians when they came to Zion]. They shall come with weeping, and with supplications [To ask for something by earnest prayer] will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way [In other words He would give them the Word of God in Truth], wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn." [541]
We also have God's Word in Isaiah; "Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; [Following is who and what they would become] Even every one that is called by my name [CHRIST(ian)]: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him." [542]
Now we have come to verse 9 in Micah Chapter Four; what do we find? TROUBLE and PAIN; "Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail." �Here is this Great Zion Nation where Israel has been regathered ‑‑ the Great Zion that the Clergy of Organized Religion say is "Heaven."
Do you see what abominable liars they are? Zion is ALREADY in existence; It has been promised a Kingdom, and now we are presented a Zion who has the characteristics of a woman in pain and travail. In other words SOMETHING is being born in "heaven." Verse 10; "Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion [Once again we are told it is the daughter ‑‑ a New Zion ‑‑ Not the old one in Palestine], like a woman in travail [Again the phraseology would indicate that something was about to be born]: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon [Here we are shown that AFTER the birth of America; the nation of regathered Israel, was to come under the captivity of Babylon once again. The Bible refers to this Babylon as 'MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.']; there shalt thou be delivered [Sometime after the latter day Israel has become captive of 'Mystery Babylon' it will be delivered by God Almighty and the Lord Jesus Christ]; there the Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies [History has proven that these enemies that is being spoken of here is none other than our ancient enemies; THE JEWS!]."
In order for Zion to need deliverance from its enemies, it would be necessary for Israel to be in the clutches and under the control of her enemies; is the logical interpretation. What does it all mean? It means that sometime after a remnant of Christian believing Israelites are regathered, and after they have been made into "a strong nation." That they will be taken or come under the captivity of their enemies; that their nation the Zion of Bible Prophecy, would be the captive of Babylon. Zechariah said Zion would dwell with Babylon and would have to be delivered. Isaiah called Zion "O captive daughter of Zion." [543] Here we see that Micah writes quite plainly that Zion, the great nation of regathered Israel, would become the captive of Babylon.
We have now seen that prophetic Zion is a nation, and we claim that nation to be America. Now, we will endeavor to reveal just what that Babylon is and just what that captivity means. How it has taken control of this Great Zion Nation ‑‑ THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
It is in all likelihood that many of you readers have never thought of America as being in captivity. But most of you do know something is wrong, for we certainly are in a country in pain and labor; and recent years have proven that the American people have little or no control over their own government.
Therefore, we present you with this question: It is possible that something, called in the Bible, Babylon, has secretly taken over control of the reigns of our government? Think about it! If we, the United States is Zion, and we know that it is, then Babylon MUST be here and in control of our country also. The prophet Isaiah wrote much about Zion and New Jerusalem; most of his words to and about it are positive; they are filled with hope and with promise. Many of the passages in Isaiah have been used as the foundation for songs about Zion, and they have been also used to create songs about Heaven. Isaiah Fifty Two is one of the chapters directed directly to this entity called Zion. "Awake, awake [Apparently Zion (America) has been lulled to sleep by its peace and prosperity and must be awakened prior to its cleansing. Have there not been hundreds of books, pamphlets, records, tapes, and even movies with the major theme being 'Wake Up America?]; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircum-cised and the unclean."
This can be directly compared, and often is, with the Twenty First Chapter of Revelation; about the New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven; verse 27 reads; "And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."
This seemingly, absolute restriction, on who may enter new Jerusalem is part of what has convinced some of the Clergy of Organized Religion [Who are blind in the first place]: that New Jerusalem is really Heaven; and that only "dead" Christians may have entry there.
Now, we will admit that Isaiah Fifty Two seems to begin with the same absolute restriction on its inhabitants, by saying, only those who may enter are those who have been circumcised and have been made clean. In verse 2, God goes on in Isaiah, speaking to Zion, to which the uncircumcised and the unclean will be prohibited entry; "Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion."
Here the prophet is talking about this beautiful Zion in verse 1 and then in verse 2 he refers to bands on her neck, which must be loosed and then calls her "O captive daughter of Zion." Now listen to verse 3, "For thus saith the Lord, Ye have sold yourselves for naught [Nothing]; and ye shall be redeemed without money."
So, Zion, called in verse one, Jerusalem, of the beautiful garments, the Holy City and a place where the uncircumcised and the unclean will be refused entry. That Zion is a CAPTIVE! She has bands on her neck; she has been "sold." It is an economic slave captivity. The term sold for nothing and redeemed without money indicates an economic captivity. To be sold; to be captive and to have chains around ones neck is to be a slave. God's Word says; "The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender." [544]
What this means to us, is that once America has become a debtor nation, which as you know she has become; she is no longer a FREE NATION but a SLAVE ONE. Therefore, America has come under bondage, in reality a slave nation to the International Jewish Bankers. Our founding fathers were well aware of this insidious enslaving nature of debt. Which is something that would happen so slowly it could not be detected by the people and thus would NOT awaken them to what was happening to them.
Thomas Jefferson once wrote the following to a friend of his in a letter during the year of 1816: "If we run into such debt; that we must be taxed in our meat; and in our drink; and in our necessities; and in our comfort; in our labors; in our callings; in our treats; our people must come to labor 16 hours in the 24; give our earnings of 15 of these to the government; have no time to think; no means of calling our mismanagers to account, but be glad to obtain substance by hiring ourselves out to rivet chains upon our fellow suffers. And this is the tendency of all human governments, until the bulk of society is reduced to mere automates of misery and the four horse of this frightful team is public debt. Misery and taxation follows that. And in its train wretched oppression."
Is it not amazing how this man mentions the riveting of chains on the necks of our fellow countrymen by the means of public debt? And what did Isaiah say: "Shake thyself from the dust...loose thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion."
The proofs of the sayings of Jefferson's statement is shown by a poem written by an Anonymous Author, and shows exactly what Jefferson said our government would do.
Now he's a common, common man,���������������������������� Tax the rag that wipes his nose,
Tax him, tax him all you can.��������������������������������������� Tax the pig and tax his squeal,
Tax his house and tax his bed,����������������������������������������������� Tax his boots, run down at heel,

It is also interesting to note that America's decline, which began when its people began worshipping the Jews instead of God and Jesus Christ in 1948. It has been accompanied, in proportion to its public debt; and she has become a debtor nation, with literally trillions of dollars of debt. More debt than all the money and all the property in America several times over.
Notice that Isaiah said that Zion [America] was sold for nothing. What does it mean to be sold for nothing? The meaning becomes very evident when one considers the present end time monetary system going on in the United States today; through which the American Government because of it traitorous leaders have mortgaged all of its property and all of it citizens to the International Jewish Bankers.
Speaking of this type of monetary system Horace Greely once wrote, "We have fastened the slave shackles to the ankles of our people and have brought all labors to a common level. Not so much by the elevation of former slaves, but by practically reducing the whole working population, white and black to a condition of serfdom. While boasting of our noble deeds we are careful to conceal the ugly fact that by our iniquitous money system we have nationalized a system of oppression which, through more refined, is no less cruel than the old system of chattel slavery."
What system of money was he talking about? Today, it is called the Federal Reserve System. It is neither Federal nor is there any Reserve, but it is called by that name in order to give it some semblance of legality. It is a non‑government entity; a privately owned corporation, that very seldom if ever, is mentioned by our so‑called Ministers, which controls the volume of money in America. What does that mean, you say? President James A. Garfield once said; "Whoever controls the volume of money in any country, is absolute master of all industry and commerce."
With the present day money system in America, there really is no REAL MONEY at all. Sound strange and unbelievable? Well it's a fact! There is really no money; ONLY DEBT. Every dollar we have is a dollar's worth of debt. Look on the face of any size bill and you will see that it is a Federal Reserve Note, and a NOTE is a DEBT.
Our leaders, whom we trusted, have literally given away our country and its money to the International Jewish Bankers; only to borrow it back again at interest! Fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy exactly. You see, every dollar of debt is a dollar created out of NOTHING, except for paper, ink or a ledger entry. In a publication entitled "Putting it Simply...The Federal Reserve" issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston on page 15 we find the following: "The authority to CREATE MONEY is an important power for any organized government to possess, and CONGRESS HAS DELEGATED THAT POWER TO THE FEDERAL RESERVE." [545]
Don't let the lying Jewish Bankers tell you different. Each dollar is backed by NOTHING; there is NO GOLD; there is NO SILVER; there is simply NOTHING THERE. And for all these nothings, all the assets of America has been mortgaged. Again fulfilling the Scriptures which say you are sold for nothing.
Therefore, if America has given up everything; that is mortgaged everything for nothing, it would only be just, to get everything back or un‑mortgaged for nothing: Would it not? Thus the Scriptures say ‑‑ "You will be redeemed without money."
The Zion we are reading about here may seem to be a new one to many, for most of you, like many of us in the past, have always been taught by the Clergy that Zion was Heaven itself. A beautiful city of gold; the place where Jesus would dwell and rule His Kingdom and that beautiful place where all Christians hope to go when their final days on this earth have come to an end.
We, like you, have never been taught about Zion needing deliverance, nor have you ever heard about Zion being a place or something which might be captured by something else. Yet, when one actually reads the Word of God for himself, instead of just listening to the Prophets of Baal, the Clergy of Organized Religion all sorts of new things come up, which we have never heard before.
We have already made the statement that this Zion is not the Heaven of the Church World. But it is instead a land, a place of the earthly regathering of the Israel Race. That the prophecies and the description of this Zion fit the United States of America as they fit no other land on the earth. Much less the Bastard State of Israel in the Middle East, which is proving to be more and more like the Nazi's, the Jews have presented to the world, since world War II. There can be no doubt: AMERICA IS THIS ZION OF BIBLE PROPHECY!
Our Anglo‑Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic and Kindred People who are the TRUE ISRAELITES, have been gathered here from the north country and from the coasts of the earth. God took our forefathers, one of a city, and two of family and He brought them to Zion.
He did in America EXACTLY, what He said He would do with the Israel People when He regathered them in their OWN LAND. He made them a great and mighty nation, the greatest and most mighty nation that has ever existed in all of the history of the world from its foundation to the present time; It is ABOVE all the other nations which are upon the face of the earth. But God also warned that even though Israel was placed in Zion, they would turn away from hearing His Word and would become captive of their enemies, from which they would have to be delivered.
We, Identity Christians [For the want of a better name], believe that America is under that power today and has been since sometime between 1895 and 1899. We have been conquered by an alien race which is robbing and destroying our people. NONE CAN DENY that the symptoms of captivity are present in the United States, BUT MANY WILL DENY THE ACTUALITY OF IT.
Now we MUST repeat again and again, because it is so hard for many Christians to understand: The Zion of Bible prophecy is not a place of perfection. At least not in its early stages. We have just read where Isaiah has called it a "captive daughter of Zion" and said it had bands on its neck, that it had been "sold" into captivity and has to be delivered from its enemies. Well that seems to be what Micah is writing about here also in verse 9 of Micah Chapter Four, "Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished?"
Now Israel has had many kings and counsellors but usually when the prophets speak of one king of Israel, they are speaking of God Almighty. And here counsellor is in the singular "is thy counsellor perished?" If you will remember that beautiful prophecy of Jesus in Isaiah Chapter Nine, you will see what this probably means; "For unto us a child is born, unto us [Israel] a son [Christ] is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder [That would mean that He, Jesus, would be king over Israel]: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace." [546]
So there you have it: JESUS IS ISRAEL'S KING AND JESUS IS ISRAEL'S COUNSELLOR! And here in Micah, God asks Israel, in Zion, why are you crying aloud. Don't you have a king and a counsellor. He is, in effect, asking Israel: Is your troubles so bad that you think your Savior, your King, your Counsellor is dead?
Take a look at America today. Millions of our people are grieved, frightened and angry about what is happening to their beloved nation and are crying about it. We are being destroyed with crime, with corrupt politicians, with corrupt manipulators of business and stocks; we are being disarmed in the face of an ever increasing threat from the communist nations. Parts of our sovereign nation are being given to other countries by criminals and enemy agents in our government.
Hundreds of billions of dollars are being forcibly taken from our people, and given, unlawfully, to foreign nations; who are in reality enemies of God, Christ and our country. They take other billions of dollars from our workers and are supposedly spending it upon education, health, welfare, military, highways, crime and thousands of other schemes to eliminate our many problems. To what end? The problems continue to grow and multiply at an ever increasing rate. It seems as if the money serves as a fertilizer and stimulates the growth of those problems, just as it does to plants, rather than bringing an end to them. But to whom do the robbed and plundered people cry out to?
Since America is no longer a Christian Nation and its people have collectively turned away from their God and the Lord Jesus Christ, they turn to and cry out to the government for help. God says, in effect; "Alright Israel in Zion, you are in trouble; is your King gone, is your Counsellor dead? Why do you not cry out to me." God then goes on; "...for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail. Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail." [547]
Here, God is telling Zion to go ahead and suffer the pain, for these are the labor pains of birth, this turmoil, this corruption and these things which the people fear are all signs of something being born. He then goes on, "...for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field."
Apparently the Zion of prophecy is going to be given into the control of Babylon. Now let us repeat here, this was not a prophecy which was fulfilled when Jerusalem was conquered by Babylon in 500 plus B.C., and taken captive for seventy years and then released. It is true that Micah lived and prophesied about two hundred years before that captivity, but several things preclude its fulfillment in that old Babylonian captivity of so many centuries ago.
NUMBER 1: The term used for the time of its fulfillment in verse 1 is "in the last days."
NUMBER 2: The sequence of events, the captivity of THIS Zion would happen AFTER Israel was regathered.
NUMBER 3: The reference to the Kingdom being given to, or coming to, this place of Israel's regathering; Here called Zion.
According to Jeremiah and Hosea, Israel actually lost the kingdom when she was divorced by God [548]. at about the time this prophecy was written; and she did not, nor could she have been given the kingdom again in Old Babylon. It was during the intervening years between then and the birth of Christ that THE JEWS SET UP A FALSE KINGDOM OVER ISRAEL. Which would explain the following Scriptures. "Then spake Jesus...Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees [The Jews] sit in Moses' seat." [549]
And; "When they [Jesus' disciples] therefore were come together, they asked of Him [Christ], saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time RESTORE AGAIN THE KINGDOM TO ISRAEL?" [550] These would only apply if someone, in this case The Jews, had usurped the kingdom from it's rightful owners.
Let's look at Acts 1:6 a little closer. Several hundred years after the seventy years of captivity in Babylon, the disciples were listening to Jesus speak to them of the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God, when they asked Jesus a question: "Lord, wilt thou at this time restore AGAIN [Here we can clearly see that the disciples knew that THE JEWS WERE NOT THE LEGITIMATE HEIRS TO THE KINGDOM; and that the so‑called kingdom which existed at that time WAS NOT RULED BY A KING OF ISRAEL. BUT WAS RULED BY THIEVES AND DECEIVERS! So, they were asking Christ when He would establish or set up His Kingdom; which by implication, would be an EARTHLY KINGDOM] the kingdom to Israel."
We can clearly see that the Throne and Kingdom of Israel WAS NOT THEN IN THE COUNTRY KNOWN AS PALESTINE. Although David's Throne WAS in existence in ANOTHER land known as England. Which also explains the answer that Jesus gave them, "And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the father hath put in his own power." [551]
NOTICE: Jesus DID NOT say that David's Throne had ceased to exist, nor did He say that the Jews sat on David's Throne. He only told the disciples that it was not for them to know at that time God's plan.
The supreme hatred of Talmudic Judaism is reserved for and directed against the hated "adherers to the text" of Scripture, Christians, who are, thus, accused of spurning the words of the Pharisee "Sages," as enshrined in the Babylonian Talmud. These "adherers" to the Bible are classified as the primary enemies of Judaism. They are all "idolaters," "heathen," "goy." They rank, in the Jews minds, not only as animals, like the rest of the non-Jewish human race, but as the lowest and most despised form of life. The Talmud frequently refers to Christians (Bible adherents) scathingly as "Samaritans" and "Cutheans."
The Sadducees, were (because they were before Christians) the first of the Pharisees [Jews] enemies. They were the constant opponents of the Pharisees and their imported Babylonian paganism, misrepresented by the Pharisees as the Tradition of the Elders, the "Oral Law" ostensibly transmitted privately to Moses and on down, superseding anything written in the Bible.
History of |
the Pharisees |
In the six years of civil war between the Pharisees and Alexander Jannaeus, King and High Priest of Jerusalem, 50,000 were killed on both sides before this Sadducean ruler succumbed, and his widow Salome turned affairs over to the Pharisees in 79 B.C. Her brother, Simon ben Shetah, had been waiting for such an opportunity. The continued civil war resulted in the sons of Alexander Jannaeus, Hyrcanus and Aristobulus, in 63 B.C., going hat in hand to Pompey. Caesar's Roman General in Syria, asking him to invade Palestine and slaughter their respective opponents. THIS IS HOW ROME HAPPENED TO BE IN POWER WHEN CHRIST WAS BORN. This is related in the Jewish Encyclopedia in the following way: "It is difficult to state at what time the Pharisees, as a party, arose. Josephus first mentions them in connection with Jonathan, the successor of Judas Maccabeus. Under John Hyrcanus (135-105) they appear as a powerful party opposing the Sadducean proclivities of the king, who had formerly been a disciple of there...The Hasmonean dynasty, with its worldly ambitions and aspirations, met with little support from the Pharisees, whose aim was the maintenance of a religious spirit in accordance with their interpretation of the Law. Under Alexander Jannaeus (104-78) the conflict between the people, siding with the Pharisees, and the king became bitter and ended in cruel carnage. Under his widow, Salome Alexandra (78-69), the Pharisees, led by Simeon ben Shetah, came to power; they obtained seats in the Sanhedrin, and that time was afterward regarded as the golden age, full of the blessing of heaven [552]. But the bloody vengeance they took upon the Sadducees led to a terrible reaction, and under Aristobulus (60-63) the Sadducees regained their power.
���� Amidst the bitter struggle which ensued, The Pharisees appeared before Pompey asking him to interfere and restore the old (Pharisee) Priesthood while abolishing the royalty of the Hasmoneans altogether. The defilement of the temple by Pompey was regarded by the Pharisees as a divine punishment of Sadducean misrule. After the national independence had been lost, the Pharisees gained in influence while the star of the Sadducees waned. Herod found his chief opponents among the latter, and so he put the leaders of the Sanhedrin to death...In King Agrippa (41-44) the Pharisees had a supporter and friend, and with the destruction of the Temple the Sadducees disappeared altogether, LEAVING THE REGULATION OF ALL JEWISH AFFAIRS IN THE HANDS OF THE PHARISEES. HENCEFORTH JEWISH LIFE WAS REGULATED BY THE TEACHINGS OF THE PHARISEES; THE WHOLE HISTORY OF JUDAISM WAS RECONSTRUCTED FROM THE PHARISAIC POINT OF VIEW, and a new aspect was given to the Sanhedrin of the past. A new chain of tradition supplanted the older, Priestly tradition [553]. PHARISAISM SHAPED THE CHARACTER OF JUDAISM AND THE LIFE AND THOUGHT OF THE JEW FOR ALL THE FUTURE." [554]
As we continue on in the book of Micah Chapter Four, which when read, cannot be fitted in with the old Babylon Captivity. Verse 10, "...and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies."
So Zion will be saved and redeemed while she is in captivity to this prophetic Babylon. Verse 11, "Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion."
For those who would say, "This is only a prophecy about the 70‑year captivity and has already been fulfilled."
If you believe this or have been told that, then consider this; When Jerusalem was taken captive by Babylon several hundred years before the birth of Christ, only ONE NATION came against Jerusalem at that time: But this prophecy, says "MANY NATION(s) are gathered against" her. And they are saying, "Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion."
Those of you who are crying aloud over what is happening to America; What is it that the un‑Americans, the antichristians are doing to this country if it cannot be described as defiling her. America is being defiled by the deliberate destruction of her morals; by filthy movies and magazines; by drugs and alcohol whose use is promoted by the movies, television, by music and by all sorts of devious means. By implication, music COULD be used as a moral force against an evil society, but this is not so now, and such attempts to Christianize rock music have only resulted in Christian music being "rocked," so to speak. One Catholic priest who is also a disc jockey in Illinois, goes so far as to MIX secular rock music with religion, explaining, "You don't have to be boring in order to be holy," [555] valuing excitement above obedience to God. Luke 16:13, tells us we cannot serve two masters, "No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
By the continued use of alcohol in the form of strong drink, which is causing many of our people to cry out in a sinner's lament, "Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! And the HARP, and the VIOL, the TABRET, and PIPE [All musical instruments], and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the operation of his hands." [556]
In the Fifth Chapter of Amos, God plainly says He will not hear the noisesome songs of evil doers; "Take thou away from me the noise of thy SONGS; for I will not hear the melody of thy VIOLS." [557] And tells us to seek for the good and to hate evil; "Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time. Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. HATE THE EVIL, and love the good." [558]
Then in Chapter Eight, God tells us that He will turn all their songs into lamentations, in the Day of Judgment. By the continued presentation of the homosexual and lesbian lifestyle which is being pushed upon our people by disgusting sexual perverts, who tell our Israel people the horrendous lie, that these are the legitimate and normal actions of men and women.
By disrupting our educational system bringing confusion into it to the extent that our own children are being prevented from learning to read [This is because people are more easily manipulated if they cannot research, for themselves, the truth of an idea or concept being presented to them]. By the graft and corruption at all levels of government. "For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed." [559]
By all sorts of crime, from petty theft to the swindling of thousands of people out of millions of dollars in land fraud, stock manipulations, insurance schemes and etc., "Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem [America], and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth...They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife...They have belied the Lord, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine: And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them...Hear not this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not...this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart... Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season...among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men. As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge...A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so." [560]
Then by not punishing the criminals and releasing them back into society to continue their criminal ways; which is all part of a plan by the one worlders to disrupt and demoralize the lives of honest citizens. By convincing our people that "over population" is a great danger, so as to promote the reduction of the White Race through birth control and abortions: THE MURDER OF THE UNBORN! By increasing our taxes and deflating our currency, which creates fear in the elderly and disabled who are trapped by fixed income; and destroys the incentive to work in the young.
They are trying to build up in our people a fatalism that our Race must give up everything we have, or ever hope to have, to the aliens invading our borders, to foreign nations and to our enemies who hate us and would destroy us if they can. This alien force in America is saying, "Let us all get together and let us defile America."
Which is exactly what God said that the nations would say and do to the Zion of Bible prophecy. That they would gather against her and say, "let her be defiled." Then they would say, "let our eye look upon Zion." Is there any doubt: AMERICA IS THE MOST LOOKED UPON, SPIED AGAINST NATION IN ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY, SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME?! But listen to what God says: "But they know not the thoughts of the Lord, neither understand they his counsel." [561]
In other words, they do not know what God has revealed in His Word, the Bible, of His plan, they only know of their own. "...neither understand they His counsel: for He shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor."
Then we have a command to Zion at the very height or depth, as it may be, of her captivity, v. 13: "Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth."
Now this is quite a switch in just a few verses, don't you think? All the way from God's people in Zion, in captivity, and being almost in total despair; perhaps even to the point of thinking that God is dead and cannot save them, and to the time their enemies are to be destroyed and gathered into the floor. This sheaves onto the floor phrase also fits the prophecy of Joel where he describes the last battle upon the earth, to be fought; "...in the valley of decision [This is the Hebrew word 'charuwtz or charuts' which means 'threshing' [562]." [563]
Therefore, the prophet is also talking of a "valley of threshing." In Isaiah Forty One, God says that at the end of the age He will give Israel a new threshing instrument, "Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains [Nations], and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff." [564] Several of the prophets and Jesus called this final destruction of the wicked on the earth; "...the time of the harvest..." [565]; "...he hath set an harvest for thee..." [566]; "...the sickle, for the harvest is ripe..." [567]; "...and in the time of the harvest..." [568]; "...the sickle, because the harvest is come..." [569]; "...the harvest of the earth is ripe..." [570]
Then in Matthew Thirteen where the tares are to be gathered out of the kingdom, Jesus says that the angels would bind the wicked "...bind them in bundles."
Now let us continue on with our study of our captivity by Babylon. We believe that we can identify the Babylon, just as we have identified prophetic Zion and prophetic Jerusalem, to be the United States; where True Israel has been regathered and blessed by God. So we will be able to show you that which has taken our great nation captive.
And we propose to prove to you that that capturing power is the antichrist world power, of which the Clergy of Organized Religion speak so much about and which is always way off in the future somewhere. And all the while lie to our Israel people that they are going to be "Raptured" off into never never land where they will not see tribulation; where they will not be ruled by that power, never coming to the realization they are seeing tribulation NOW at this very moment in time.
With no understanding that our nation has been taken over completely by antichrists who are currently ruling our nation and the world from behind the scenes: The antichrist power which has brought violent death to uncounted millions of Christians, in this century alone, who were NOT "Raptured"; the power which is killing more and more Christians all the time. Yet our "Ministers" keep looking for and teaching about a "Rapture" which will never come.
The reason they cannot see is because; They have been blinded by their own Baal Doctrines, thus they are unable to recognize the truth, when it is presented to them. Paul spoke of these antichrists and identified them for those who will listen in Romans 1:18‑32.
That antichrist power is here; it is ALREADY in existence; it ALREADY secretly rules the world and has brought violent death to more than two hundred million [200,000,000] in just the last eighty some years; and has plans for the death of one billion more before the year Two Thousand. It is this "RED" antichrist power which seized absolute control of Russia during World War I.
Nikolai Lenin (1917‑1924); Aleksei Rykov (1924‑1930); Vyacheslav Molotov (1930‑1941); Joseph Stalin (1941‑1953), He was also the General Secretary of the Communist Party (1924‑1953); Georgi Malenkov 1953‑1955); Nikolai Bulganin (1955‑1958); Nikita Khruschev (1958‑1964); Leonid Brezhnev (1964‑1982); Yuri Andropov (1982‑1984); Konstantin Chernenko (1984‑1985); Mikhail Gorbachev (1985-1990) and Boris Yeltson who is the current visible ruler of Russia.
However, he like all the rest receive his orders from the Jewish Challah in New York City. These men and their henchmen have killed more than twenty million [20,000,000] or almost fifteen percent of Russia's population within the first twenty years of their takeover. Since that time the Bolshevik Jews have murdered another ten to thirty million more; which does not take into consideration the millions murdered upon the conquest of their satellite nations.
Now we ask the question: What power is it that has such control over our own government that it causes billions of dollars in military and economic aid to be "GIVEN" to these murderous butchers? The human tragedy of the Jewish Communist rule in the various countries of the world is almost beyond description and yet our government continues to send them aid whenever they request it; Even to the point of denying our own American‑Israel people.
What is it that is bringing such tribulation upon the people of the world and yet remain hidden from our so‑called "Ministers?" Who or what is it that rules the world so completely that even non‑Communist Countries co‑operate in every way with this mass execution of people who do not wish to live under the Communist Rule?
Can you not see??? This could only be possible if the antichrist system, which our so‑called "Ministers" tell us is to come at some future time, is now in absolute control of ALL THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE WORLD, right now, AT THE PRESENT TIME!!!
The Clergy uses the book of Revelation, especially the vision of the woman of Chapter Seventeen, who is riding upon a "RED" beast; which the angel revealed to John in verse 18 as being "...that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth."
They also use the Second Chapter of Thessalonians, where Christ's return is related, and says in verses 3 and 4, "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God [The 'Ministers' either forget or ignore the Scriptures that reveal who this man of sin is. [571]], or that is worshipped."
This they say is the prophecy of one man who will be worshipped or obeyed by all the people of the earth as the god or supreme ruler of the entire planet. In verses 8 and 9 it says, "...then that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders."
These passages and a number of others make it quite plain that there will be a power which will rule over all the earth sometime BEFORE the return of Jesus [Don't you realize that Christ WILL NOT RETURN TWICE, once to get the Saints in a so‑called "Rapture" and then sometime later a second time]. Remember Moses struck the rock twice and so lost his chance to enter into the Promised Land, because he was supposed to only speak to the rock. And neither will Christ return twice]; and that power of the anti‑Christs will be destroyed when He does return.
The controversy is not over whether the Bible prophesies of such a world ruling power, but as to whether that power will be in existence and ruling the earth WHILE the Christians are still upon it. Many insist the antichrist power will come into existence only after Christians have been raptured away into Heaven. But current and past history provides us with the evidence necessary to prove that power is here NOW and that it DOES NOW RULE; and that it accounts for the great tribulations going on ‑‑ the earth today. As part of the more visible evidence of that power, one has only to point to the complete control, which is openly antichrist, the Red Bolshevik [Communist] Jews have over a large number of the nations of the world; the partial control on many others; the hidden control which they exert upon the rest of the nations of the world.
Notice, in Second Thessalonians, it speaks of a time when that man of sin will be revealed. It does not say; "when that man of sin comes." Which imparts the implication that the man of sin is ALREADY here; he will be ruling and then at some later date he will be revealed. "MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH," described in Revelation Seventeen Verse 18 as, "that great city [We believe this to be New York City], which reigneth over the kings of the earth" is just such an entity.
A ruling power that is a mystery. In other words a ruling power that is concealed from most of the people of the United States and the earth. Many of us believe, that this "MYSTERY BABYLON" is that antichrist power which the Clergy of Organized Religion expect sometime in the future, is ALREADY on earth, very much alive and is ALREADY controlling most, if not all, of the nations of the world ‑‑ INCLUDING THE GREAT ZION NATION OF AMERICA!
Now let us turn to Second Thessalonians to see if the son of Perdition, like Mystery Babylon will be here on the earth and be identifiable before the return of Jesus Christ. This chapter, or rather bits and pieces of this chapter is used by "Ministers" to support their "Rapture Theory," which is were Christians are supposed to be snatched off the earth by Christ. At which time the world and all of the non‑Christians will be left to face a time of great tribulation; and come under the rule of one man, called the antichrist, who will then rule the entire world. But while preaching and teaching the Rapture Theory they NEVER explain the following, "And it was given unto him to make war with THE SAINTS, and to overcome them." [572]
Which presents a very interesting question: IF THE CHRISTIANS, WHO THE NEW TESTAMENT CALLS THE SAINTS, HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE EARTH IN A SO‑CALLED "RAPTURE," THEN WHO ARE THESE SAINTS WHICH ARE TO BE OVERCOME?
Oh, many of our so‑called "Ministers" will simply back up and say, "Well these are those whom the 144,000 Jews will lead to Christ." Which only verifies the lie; because if the Christians are taken out then the 144,000 Jews will be taken out also, and if they convert AFTER the "Rapture" then that makes it even more of a lie, because our "Ministers" teach that NO Christian is to face the tribulation. "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him."
Paul does begin this chapter by making reference to the return of Christ, and to the gathering of the Saints to Jesus, which will take place at that time. With this, we have no argument, for we sincerely believe that when Jesus comes, there will be a "RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD"; which is what is meant here by the phrase "our gathering together unto him."
Paul then goes on, still beseeching them, "That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand." Paul is saying, in effect, "Don't let anyone fool you into thinking that the return of Jesus is at hand, at that time." Paul was writing this about thirty years after the Resurrection and Ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ; over 1900 years ago. He said, at that time, the return of Christ was NOT eminent, no matter what anyone else said.
Verse 3, "Let no man deceive you by any means: for [Because] that day SHALL NOT come, EXCEPT there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, THE SON OF PERDITION." Then the next verse describes "THAT MAN OF SIN."
However, before we continue on, let's recap what Paul has revealed to us. We will say it in our own words; you see if this is not what he said, only in other words, "I implore you brethren, that you be not fooled into believing that the return of Jesus is near or eminent."
Because, the day of Jesus' return, will not come until a certain thing takes place. And what is that certain thing that must take place before Christ's return? Of course, it is THAT MAN OF SIN "MUST" BE REVEALED OR MADE KNOWN. Therefore, let no man deceive you by any means, that day shall NOT come except there come a falling away first, and that MAN OF SIN be revealed, the SON OF PERDITION.
Jesus revealed WHO the son of perdition was; "While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost BUT THE SON OF PERDITION; that the scripture might be fulfilled." [573]
Who was Jesus making reference to? It was Judas Iscariot ‑‑ THE ONLY JEW OF THE TWELVE! Don't you understand? Do you realize that tens of thousands of "Ministers" have been trained in the Seminaries, to teach you a lie; that this MAN OF SIN, will be revealed only AFTER the Christians have been "Raptured" from the earth?
Yet right here in the very chapter they quote; which says quite plainly, that the man of sin, the son of perdition WILL BE REVEALED "BEFORE" JESUS' RETURN. And it has been revealed by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself in John 17:12, if only you would accept it. Jesus revealed that IT IS THE JEWS WHO ARE THE SON OF PERDITION, but the Christian World has been unable to see and understand it; because of the massive doses of propaganda fed to them by false shepherds and the Jews themselves.
Oh, there are some today who still attempt to deceive the world, such as the story which has been circulating in the Christian World for several years now; that the antichrist has been born in Egypt and is just awaiting the proper time to come forth and reveal himself. Boy what a bunch of crap. But, they are all making the same mistake. The Bible teaches no such thing as one individual antichrist. John is the only writer of the New Testament who used the term, in his Epistles, and he wrote them some 1900 years ago, and he said; "...and as ye have heard that ANTICHRIST shall come, even now are there many anti‑ Christs...Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is ANTICHRIST [You see, anyone who denies that Jesus is the Christ, is an antichrist], that denieth the Father and the Son." [574]
Then John says; "And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and THIS IS THAT SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST, whereof ye have heard that it should come: and EVEN NOW ALREADY IS IN THE WORLD [It should be obvious to any thinking Christian that John is here relating that he is speaking of a RELIGIOUS SYSTEM; Judaism]." [575]
John speaks once more concerning this spirit of antichrist when he said; "For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh [Can there be any doubt in your mind that John is talking about the Jews and their religion of Judaism. Because THEY HAVE ALWAYS DENIED THAT JESUS WAS THE CHRIST AND HAS COME IN THE FLESH!]. THIS IS A DECEIVER AND AN ANTICHRIST." [576]
Therefore, we can clearly see that when John gave the definition of an antichrist: It is ANYONE who denies the Lord Jesus Christ and that He came to earth in a flesh body, was the Son of God, and dwelt among us.
That such a person or religion is, in fact, antichrist; which SHOULD identify to Christians that there are millions of antichrists in the world today: But upon close study it will be found that only ONE RELIGION IS truly ANTICHRIST by definition and that religion is Judaism! No, the antichrist is NOT just one individual man and neither is the man of sin as spoken of in Second Thessalonians Two.
Now let's read a few descriptive phrases of that man of sin. Then we will present you with some thoughts that might be quite different than you have considered before.
In verse 3, he is called the son of perdition. The word perdition is the Greek word "Apoleia" which means "destruction" [577]. So in other words, the "son of perdition" is the "son of destruction" or the cause of destruction.
Verse 4, "Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."
This phrase "sitteth in the temple of God" has fooled many. Since all Bible students and Ministers know that there is no stone Temple of God anymore as the Romans destroyed the one in Palestine in A.D. 70, some have tried to say, "this cannot come to pass until someone rebuilds a stone temple, to God in Jerusalem again."
Which in itself opens up all sorts of speculations about how the Jews will rebuild the old temple and then this great antichrist will come and sit in it; and take over the rulership of the world, and be worshipped while he is in that great new temple. But what do the Scriptures say the Temple of God is? Paul, a Christian Israelite, writing to the Thessalonians related; "Know ye not that YE are THE TEMPLE OF GOD, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile [Which is the Greek word "Phtheiro" from "Phthio" which means "to ruin" or "destroy" [578]] the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which TEMPLE YE ARE." [579] Then we find; "What? know ye not that YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST." [580]
Then in Second Corinthians Six Paul is exhorting believers to separate themselves from unbelievers and from infidels as he wrote, "And what agreement hath THE TEMPLE OF GOD with idols? for YE ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE LIVING GOD." [581]
Then he explains, "as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them." Paul is quoting God's statement to the Israelites through the prophets Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and others that God would dwell in Israel. Today, our Israel people receive so little preaching on the true identity of Israel that most do not realize that God does really "dwell in Israel." Most Christians realize they cannot say in truth that God dwells in Palestine, or among the people called Jews; because the Jews reject Jesus, and to say that God dwells among them would do violence to the teachings of the New Testament. So most of our so‑called "Ministers" simply ignore the multitude of promises and prophecies made by God to Israel; that He would ALWAYS be the God of Israel and that He would dwell in and among them.
They do see that God is in Christendom but they do not relate that to the truth, that these Anglo‑Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic and Kindred Christians ARE ISRAELITES. In Ephesians, speaking of the whole congregation of believers collectively as the household of God, Paul says; "In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an HOLY TEMPLE in the Lord: In whom ye also are BUILDED together for AN HABITATION of God through the Spirit." [582]
So the Temple of God is each individual believer; in a collective sense, the whole household of Christian Israel. With this in mind we then ask: Where would the man of sin sit? Where he could masquerade as God and be worshipped as God. It is obvious, HE WOULD SIT IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF A DELUDED AND DECEIVED ISRAEL PEOPLE. Who think they are worshipping the Divine One, when in reality, THEY ARE WORSHIPPING AN ENTITY CALLED, in Second Thessalonians Two "THAT MAN OF SIN...THE SON OF PERDITION."
Therefore, the man of sin could be, and you think carefully about it and see if it does not make sense to you: The man of sin could be a "FALSE CHRIST." Remember: Jesus warned Christians in Matthew Twenty Four, when the disciples asked about the signs of the end of the world; and Jesus said that many would come in His name, saying that Jesus is Christ and would deceive many. He also said, in verse 24, "that there shall arise FALSE CHRISTS."
This character in Second Thessalonians Two, is called the man of sin. The word sin, means the transgression of the law; according to 1 John 3:4. So it stands to reason that the man of sin is therefore, a man of transgression of the law. Thus, if a person professing to worship Christ claims that "his" Christ has put away God's Law; that there is no need for him to obey the Law, then that person is believing in and worshipping a Christ of "transgression" or a "man of sin."
Consider it another way. If a person believes that "his" Christ is going to come and snatch him off the earth and take him to heaven, and then turn the earth over to the wicked; and if that is false doctrine, a lie, and it can be easily proven that it is, then that person believes in and worships a Jesus who is NOT THE REAL JESUS OF THE BIBLE.
He is worshipping a false Christ, one who has attributes which the True Jesus does not have. One who is to do things the Real Jesus, the True Son of God will not do. That person is, in deed, and, in fact, worshipping a "man of sin." It is that man of sin, a false god and a false Christ who is in that person.
To fulfill Second Thessalonians Two there is no need for anyone person or any false god to go into a Stone Temple over in Old Palestine; it can be fulfilled by the simple fact that thousands or perhaps millions of God's people worship as God, someone who is not the real Jesus.
Paul in 1 Corinthians 10:12, gave a warning to Christian Israelites, "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall."
We implore you, today, to examine your Christ. Is He the one of the Bible, or is He a false Christ? Put into your mind by false prophets, teaching false doctrines. Are you worshipping the True Jesus of the Bible or are you worshipping the man of sin? Thus, as many of you know, Babylon is a false religion; and if any part of our people are captive of it, or under the delusions of a false religion, a false Christ, then they are captive of Babylon are they not?
But, to repeat once again, our major interest in spending this time on Second Thessalonians Two, was to prove to you that whatever, or whoever the man of sin is; he MUST BE REVEALED, he MUST BE MADE KNOWN to God's people BEFORE Christ's return.
Now let us return to exposing what it is which has captured our people; religiously, economically, politically, socially and in all phases of our national life. It is called in the Bible "Mystery Babylon," and is described in such a manner that we can see and understand it. In Micah, God said of Zion or end time Israel, in her new land would be held captive under Babylon. Then in Revelation 15 and 16, we saw that Babylon was to be divided into three parts; and we believe that great city, which reigneth over the governments of the earth, from behind the scenes, but is the ruler nevertheless.
And it is obvious, that for this prophetic Babylon to capture prophetic Zion; Prophetic Zion MUST of a necessity, BE ON THE EARTH, not in some faraway Heaven. Because we refuse to credit some earthly power with being strong enough to threaten the Heavenly abode of Almighty God Himself. Therefore, the Zion of prophecy is a PLACE HERE ON THE EARTH. And we have previously identified Prophetic Zion to be Christian America.
When the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates, in Revelation 16:12, it was followed by the three unclean spirits [The three parts of Babylon] in verse 13; which went forth "unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty." (v. 14)
In verse 16, the place of their gathering was a place "called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon." Then as John saw the gathering of the kings of the earth BEFORE the battle; in verse 17, he saw as "the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air"; and followed in verse 18, by "voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great." Then finally "great Babylon" is mentioned, for the first time in this long passage and only the second time in the book of Revelation. Its previous mention was in chapter 14 v. 8.
Here in Revelation 16:19, it says: "And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath."
This implies destruction in part and perhaps in its entirety, but in any case God's wrath is shown here to be directed against "great Babylon."
It would appear obvious that this "great Babylon" is ALREADY in existence on the earth now; and we believe that the earthquake which was to divide Babylon into three parts has already taken place; that it is past history and that it was not a physical quake of the earth as some teach.
In Revelation 17:18, the angel told John, Babylon the great is "that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth."
To put it another way, great Babylon is the RULER OF THE RULERS, and just before it is to be destroyed it would be divided into three parts; which we have already described as being:
(1) Russia and its control of Asia, Eastern Europe and parts of Africa and South America.
(2) China and its sphere of control in that part of Asia not controlled by Russia, including India, Southeast Asia and parts of Africa.
(3) The Western Hemisphere and Western Europe with the RULERS of the United States being the dominating force in those areas.
However, the close affinity and co‑operation of these super powers is still mostly hidden from the view of the people of the world, especially those of the United States. But millions of Americans are beginning to suspect that the great words of criticisms and anger, which pass publicly between these governments, and which is so prominently displayed in the news media are really all part of a STAGED SHOW for the people's consumption.
Many are coming to realize that the rulers of America only pretend enmity towards the rulers of China and the United States. For they are beginning to see that there is really no major activity by any of the three governments which are in anyway damaging to the rulers of the other two governments.
That, although thousands, yes even millions of people die in so‑called "Police Actions" between these super‑powers; such as Korea, Southeast Asia and in several "Brush Wars" in Africa and South America. While all the while, the ruling powers of these three major governments not only remain intact but grows ever more stronger, but NEVER weaker.
THINK ABOUT IT; WE WILL SAY IT AGAIN, ALTHOUGH THESE POWERS SEEM TO BE AT CROSS PURPOSES WITH EACH OTHER; CARRY ON SO‑CALLED WARS WITH ONE ANOTHER IN WHICH THEIR OWN PEOPLE ARE KILLED; THE MEN WHO ARE IN POWER IN THOSE GOVERNMENTS REMAIN UNTOUCHED!!! |
Have you ever thought about it or wondered why, if America wanted to defeat the enemy, would it have allowed one of its greatest generals to be sent home while he was in the process of defeating the enemy? General Douglas MacArthur was NOT under the control of the American President while he served in Korea; he was under the control of the United Nations, and it was they who fired him, NOT, THEN PRESIDENT HARRY S. TRUMAN.
However, President Truman acquiesced to the action in just ANOTHER traitorous action by the men who have served as the leaders of our nation. General MacArthur was fired, not because of incompetence, but because he broke the back of the North Korean Army when he launched the Inchon Harbor Invasion. And he could have destroyed the invading Chinese Army with just one atomic bomb, had he been allowed to do so.
Oh, some will say, "We could not use the bomb because our men were too close to the blast area"; to that we reply, "Tests were even then taking place in New Mexico with other American Troops much closer to the blasts than they would have been in Korea." Not only that but the bomb would have saved thousands of American and other allies soldiers and put the communist expansion plans back a hundred years; perhaps even destroying it once and for all.
Who or what group were so powerful that they could control our military to such an extent that they could actually cost America thousands of its finest young men in a no‑win United Nations military action under the oversight of a RUSSIAN COMMUNIST GENERAL Kanstantine E. Zinchenko; who was the Department Head, responsible for U.N. enforcement measures.
Shortly after the inception of the United Nations, Mr. Trygve Lie was told by the Soviets themselves: "That only a Soviet could sit as Under‑Secretary General of the Security Council of the United Nations." �This is the war waging arm and peace keeping sector [forces] of the United Nations. Trygve Lie was astounded, for this was not in the United Nations Charter. However, the Soviets quoted the authority given to them in "The London Accord," where a meeting of "The Big Five" [United States, Great Britain, France, China and the Soviet Union] was held in London, England, and all agreed with this procedure. President Harry 'Solomon Schiff' Truman was the representative from the United States at that meeting in London, England.
President Harry Solomon Schiff Truman was also a "Grand‑Master" Freemason. President Harry Solomon Schiff Truman the Zionist. One of the many TRAITORS in Washington, D.C. The magnitude of THIS INSIDIOUS TREASON is further realized when one understands that the "Under‑Secretary" of the Security Council of the United Nations was, and still is, The Commander of the World Police Force.
All United States military forces served under a Communist Commander who totally controlled the war waging arm of the United Nations during the wars in Korea and Viet Nam [And after Viet Nam, up to the date you read this, including the Mideast and elsewhere]. The problem was further compounded when one realizes that the military staff idea of the United Nations Charter never materialized. It consisted only of a lone representative from each of the original "Big Five" countries.
PRESIDENT HARRY 'SOLOMON SCHIFF' TRUMAN WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES PLACED THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES MILITARY UNDER THE COM�MAND OF THE ENEMY FOREVER. IS T�REA�SON AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL!!!
A young Officer and jet fighter pilot flying missions in the Korean Conflict [Unknowingly under the command of a Soviet General of the United Nations Security Council], He could never under�stand HOW THE ENEMY KNEW SO MUCH ABOUT THEM, as broadcast almost daily over the Communist Pyong�yang radio station in North Korea.
Our wives' names, childrens' names, Squadron Commander names, flight numbers, etc.! The North Koreans knew when we were coming, how many of us there were, what type of aircraft we were flying, and even the targets we were to hit. Later He realized that the naval and ground forces suffered the same fate that we did, especially our Army and Marine infantry troops. All this was because:
All of our military operations had to be forwarded by radio, to the Soviet Commander of the United Nations Security Council at the United Nations building in New York City for approval before, our forces, went into action, against the North Koreans and Red Chinese.
The Soviet Commander of the United Nations Security Council delayed the battle plans, until he used the radios in the United Nations building in New York to relay all our 'battle planning information' to Moscow, North Korea, and Red China. The enemy then contacted and relayed these same battle plans to their communist forces in the field the enemy knew when to move from an area and when to attack our smaller fighting forces. They knew beforehand when we were coming and how many of us there were. They knew everything about us all the time 24 hours a day!
He later found this same form of "TREASON" was being used against our forces in the Viet Nam War. All information regarding "Every Battle Plan in Viet Nam" was given to the North Vietnamese, Soviets [Advisors], Red Chinese [Red Chinese fought our Marines near the Da Nang Air Force Base for many years.
DIDN'T KNOW THAT DID YOU. Of course not ALL THIS JUST HAPPENS BY ACCIDENT!!! CRAP. Open your eyes if you dare], and Viet Cong troops in the field during the entire war. The enemy knew our every move at all times. Our troops were led like sheep to the slaughter in both Korea and Viet Nam.
"Agent Orange" was also approved for use by the Soviet General in charge of the Security Council of the United Nations during the Viet Nam war. IT WAS TO BE USED AGAINST OUR FIGHTING FORCES, to inflict our soldiers with chemical warfare that would later kill them slowly, and also affect the children that they would bear when returning to the United States or wherever. This has also come to pass!!
Don't you understand yet: Every President, every Senator, and every Congressman since Truman, has been aware of this treason by the United Nations Security Council against our military forces. The deaths, suffering, wounded, and prisoners of war of both Korea and Viet Nam is to be laid at the feet of every President of the United States, since Harry 'Solomon Schiff' Truman and every Senator and every Congressman in Washington, D.C. again, "TREASON" AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS!
The same is true for all other soldiers of other countries who served under "United Nations Peace Keeping Forces," whether they were from Australia, Turkey, South Korea, Canada, New Zealand, or wherever. It was these same conditions of "TREASON" that got them slaugh�tered, wounded, and taken prisoner. They too fought under the "United Nations Soviet Commander" of the Security Council in New York City. Like blind fools we sent our combat plans to the enemy for approval. There was a standing joke among us fighter pilots, "THAT MOSCOW HAD A FILE ON EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US." How little did we really know. Every mission, every movement was compromised! General Walt, former Commander of the United States Marine Corps, reflected upon this information in his book that was written in the early 1980's. This book was NEVER allowed to appear in any book store in the United States. During the Korean and Viet Nam conflicts, thousands of our fighting men were mentally and physically incapacitated because of the "Treason."
To this day, the Soviets [Or someone from one of their satellite countries] ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN COMMAND THE UNITED NATIONS "WORLD POLICE FORCES." The blood of over 57,000 U.S. troops killed in Korea and the 56,000 U.S. troops killed in Viet Nam is crying out for revenge and retribu�tion against the "Treason" and criminal behavior of our politicians. These troops were from all races and sectors in the United States...murdered and betrayed BY COMMUNIST-�ZIONIST JEWS IN HIGH LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES ALONG WITH THEIR POLITICAL LACKEYS.
The 'Veterans Hospitals' are still filled with our soldiers because of this "Treason" in Korea and Viet Nam. As many as were murdered in combat in Viet Nam, the same amount of veterans have committed suicide after returning home from that planned "hell‑Hole" in Southeast Asia. If only they would have had a chance to know that the same politicians who committed "Treason" against them complying with the United Nations Charter and the Soviet General that controlled their every action in combat. Each one of us that served in Korea or Viet Nam, served under the total com�mand of a Soviet Gen�eral!
Here is a quote from the New York Times, dated May 22, 1963: "The post for 'Political and Security Affairs' traditionally has been held BY A SOVIET NATIONAL...is a Senior Adviser to the Secretary‑General."������
Another quote from Congressman John E. Rankin: "The United nations is the greatest fraud in all History. ITS PURPOSE IS TO DESTROY THE UNITED STATES."
Here are the names of the Soviets and the dates they served as "Under‑Secr�etary" of the Security Council of the United Nations, thus, the highest military commander of all United Nations fighting forces anywhere in the world...including all military forces of the United States. These names and information were obtained from the United Nations yearbooks up through 1987. Later yearbooks are not yet available:

NOTE: The names from 1988 through 1990 are not available at this time because printing is behind. The complete United Nations title for all these Soviet General's is: "UNDER‑SECRETARY FOR SECURITY AND POLITICAL AFFAIRS."
The Soviet Lt. General Alexander P. Vasiliev, the Soviet representative on the United Nations [Mini] Military Staff Committee from 1947 to January, 1950, is the same General Vasiliev who took "a leave of absence from his United nations job" AND WAS PLACED BY THE SOVIET UNION AND RED CHINA IN COMMAND OF ALL CHINESE COMMUNIST TROOP MOVEMENTS ACROSS THE 38th PARALLEL DURING THE KOREAN "POLICE ACTION."
Lt. General Vasiliev received all his military information and troop movements of all United Nations forces in Korea directly from his superior, Soviet General Constantine E. Zinchenko, who was serving as "Under‑Secretary" of the Security council of the United Nations in New York. All battle plans HAD to be approved by him ahead of time.
It was the traitor, President Harry 'Solomon Schiff' Truman himself who refused to allow General Douglas MacArthur, the Supreme Commander of the United Nations fighting forces in Korea, to bomb the bridges at the Yalu River over which the Chinese Communist troops came by the hundreds of thousands to kill and wound our soldiers, Truman and the Soviet General in charge at the United Nations TOTALLY HANDCUFFED MacArthur in all instances.
That the United Nations rules over the United States would be obvious to all the American people if thy would only think about what has been told to them by our leaders in government. President Truman, in 1951, after he had announced the war in Korea and moved American Troops there, related to the people of the United States that we were fighting a so‑called "Police Action" UNDER THE ORDERS OF THE UNITED NATIONS.
Then, when General MacArthur, other military leaders and several Congressmen called upon the President to carry the conflict into North Korea so that we might defeat them and end the war; President Truman then informed them and the people of America HE COULD NOT DO SUCH A THING BECAUSE HE HAD TO OBEY THE MANDATES OF THE UNITED NATIONS: That this was a "United Nations Police Action." In other words the President of the United States was ADMITTING HE HAD A RULER ABOVE HIM; A RULER HE WAS REQUIRED TO OBEY AND HE WAS ADMITTING TO THAT FACT, IN SO MANY WORDS. But most Americans did not understand nor realize just what he was admitting to.
Then twelve years later when President Johnson ordered several hundred thousand young American men to be shipped to South Vietnam to fight ANOTHER United Nations "Police Action" there, so as to carry out the terms of the SETO Treaty. The full name of which is the Southeast Treaty Organization, a branch of the United Nations. Our American soldiers were ordered to fight, to kill and be killed, BUT NEVER TO WIN, under orders of the United Nations. Two hundred fifty thousand American men were killed or maimed for life in Southeast Asia during that insane United Nations Controlled War and our leaders never blinked an eye!
Who or what group gave the orders preventing the American Military from winning, and in many cases, from even defending themselves until they were fired upon; thus insuring the most casualties possible among the American Troops. Most Americans believe it was President Johnson and later President Nixon, but the truth is, THE ORIGINAL SOURCE OF THE ORDERS WAS, THE UNITED NATIONS, something that rules, quietly from behind the scenes, almost all of the nations of the world, including our own.
Recently Americans were surprised to see their own government, or at least what they believed to be their own government, transfer American Territory ‑‑ the Panama Canal Zone to a communist dominated foreign government, Panama. What they did not realize that the United States had not controlled the Panama Canal for many years.
For if America had really controlled it during the Korean and the Vietnam Wars, would it have made sense that the American Government would have allowed cargo and war ships supplying their enemies to pass through it. Yet, that is exactly what happened. Russian, English, French and other nations ships regularly passed through it carrying war supplies to the North Vietnamese Army to kill or maim our American soldiers during the Vietnam War and our leaders said or did NOTHING to oppose it.
The United States Military was ordered by the United Nations, not to blockade North Vietnam's only sea port, that being Haiphong; and the American leaders obeyed! Scores of American Battleships and Aircraft Carriers sat out in the China Sea off Vietnam for eight long years during the war, prohibited by United Nations orders from firing a shot or interfering with ANY ship of any nation from bringing food and war materials to North Vietnam. Oh, they made a pretence of mining the harbor, but were soon forced to remove the mines by orders from the United Nations. Several multi‑national oil companies sold gas, diesel and other fuel along with munitions to both North Vietnam and the United States and delivered their products in time of war WITHOUT INTERFERENCE FROM EITHER SIDE!
During the Vietnam War hundreds of American ships docked in Saigon and at Da Nang, and at any one time from a dozen to a score of them would be in the harbors; although the Viet Cong Guerrillas had 120 MM Russian Rockets which they launched with regularity into the residential areas of Saigon and Da Nang from the Mekong Delta; and NOT ONCE did those rockets strike any of the ships docked in the harbors of Saigon or Da Nang; NOT ONCE did any of those rockets strike the hundreds of warehouses that were used to house war supplies [Think about it!
This could only mean that "Mystery Babylon" had ALREADY DECIDED THAT THESE SUPPLIES WOULD BE LEFT TO THE COMMUNIST FORCES when they were allowed to take over South Vietnam]; NOT ONCE did those rockets strike any of the United States or South Vietnam government buildings in Saigon; NOT ONCE did they strike any of the oil storage depots. No! Those Russian made rockets killed ONLY AMERICAN SOLDIERS and South Vietnamese civilians. But the supplies to carry on the war had safe passage and safe storage afforded to both sides.
Who was it that commanded the Viet Cong not to hit the ships in the Saigon or Da Nang harbors or docks, or any of the government buildings, nor any of the oil and gasoline storage depots? Was it the same ones who ordered the American forces to not strike the North Vietnamese harbor, docks, government buildings, nor any of the gasoline storage depots, nor any of the ships that were bringing war supplies to the enemy? Who was it that commanded the American Air Force not to use the systematic and carpet bombing which proved so successful during World War II against the Germans?
Who was it that commanded the American Air Force not to bomb the dams in the northern part of North Vietnam which would have destroyed completely the food supply for the Vietnamese Army and the North Vietnamese people, thus making it impossible for them to carry on the war, which would have saved countless American lives? Who was it that, instead of bombing troop training grounds, ordered the American Air Force to bomb the jungles and mountain sides, which insured inflicting minimal casualties upon the enemy forces; and guaranteed the expenditure of hundreds of millions of American workers tax money. Who was it that furnished the money to North Vietnam to carry on the war?
In ten years of warfare only ONE U.S. Government building was damaged, and that during the Tiet Offensive, by 10 Viet Cong which were quickly rounded up and killed. Thousands of United States Government officials walked the streets of Saigon for more than ten years, almost at will; easy targets for assassination but the Viet Cong guerrillas left them strictly alone. WHY? Yet the mental condition of the American people is such, that even today, MOST OF THEM DO NOT REALIZE SUCH A CONDITION COULD OCCUR ONLY IF THE "WORLD RULERS" GAVE ORDERS TO BOTH SIDES AS TO WHO OR WHAT, COULD OR COULD NOT BE DESTROYED.
Who were these "World Rulers" who have such power they could command the Communist forces to kill American troops but not U.S. Government officials? Was it the same power which prevented the American Air Force from destroying North Vietnam? Was it the same power which, even today, prevents America from protecting itself from the holocaust of a future war?
The news media which presented pictures of the dead and wounded on our television screens every night and our newspapers and magazines every day for almost ten years of the Vietnam War; had little if any time to depict or report upon the terrible butchery which the liberals of America caused to be inflicted upon the people of South Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. They NEVER showed the thousands of people murdered by the communist butchers, but they wring their hands and cry to high heaven whenever a communist or some other enemy of America is killed; while at the same time they depict it as a heinous crime against humanity if an American happens to come out on top of a conflict with them.
It has been reported that almost 500 thousand Africans have been murdered by communist and Cuban troops in Africa; but pictures of these deaths are almost never shown on American television or on magazine or newspapers. But if an American or White South African happens to kill a black communist in defense of his life, family or property it is in every newspaper, magazine and on every television set in America for days.
THE UNITED NATIONS IN ITS SOME 47 YEARS OF EXISTENCE HAS YET TO INFLICT ONE SINGLE INCIDENT OR ACTION THAT HAS RESULTED IN A DETRIMENTAL ACTION AGAINST THE RULERS OF THE COMMUNIST NATIONS. IN FACT, ITS EVERY AC�TION HAS BEEN AGAINST EVERY COUNTRY OR GOVERNMENT IN THE WORLD THAT WOULD NOT BOW ITS KNEES BEFORE THE GREAT GOD OF THE COMMUNIST-�ZIONIST‑JEWISH ONE‑WORLDERS, THE UNITED NATIONS. |
Russia, Cuba and China operate at will in Africa and South America; what is the United Nations during about it? Well, a spokesman for the United Nations announced that they would impose an oil embargo upon South Africa; but not one single peep about imposing sanctions upon Russia, Cuba or China. Oh, there have been literally millions of people killed in so‑called anti‑communist conflicts, but there has been nothing which has happened would interfere with the actions of the rulers of the various nations at all.
It is even now working day and night against the only nation left in the world who opposes its domination of the world; that country is South Africa. And Ame�rican foreign policy is being directed toward the overthrow of White South Africa, while ignoring and openly aiding Russia and China in their assault against her and the other nations of Africa. Thus the three parts of Mystery Babylon are operating in concert, and the cities of the nations are falling; and the islands and mountains [nations] are disappearing just as the verse said.
Now, you begin to see through the glass darkly: That there is more to the United Nations than we have been led to believe; that it is simply a visible part of an otherwise invisible world‑government, which already controls almost every country and ruler on the earth. That if we could see the rest of the control mechanism, we could read the read the rest of Revelation 17 and 18 and say; "Eureka, we have found it, we have found 'Mystery Babylon' the mother of harlots and the abominations of the earth. That the pro‑United Nations propaganda and much of the church doctrine; such as the 'Rapture' theory and of a future antichrist, are in reality falsehoods of 'Mystery Babylon' designed to coverup the existence of an antichrist world government, which ALREADY exists and to keep her hidden from those she has already captured and those about to be captured."
In the Second Chapter of Zechariah, the prophet tells of seeing an angel with a measuring line, who said that he was measuring Jerusalem.
In Revelation Twenty One, John saw a vision of what he called New Jerusalem and said in verse 15, "And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city." Other similarities to the two versions show both men are writing about the same Jerusalem, New Jerusalem, Prophetic Jerusalem and NOT the old historical city. We can now see and understand, New Jerusalem is a land, a great nation, to be inhabited by the regathered tribes of Israel is made clear in such verses as Zechariah 2:4, where we read:� "Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein."
In the First Chapter God says in verse 14, "I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy." Then in verse 17, "My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad."
In Chapter Two verse 6, God said of this Jerusalem: "I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven." This was fulfilled in the driving out of the Israel people from old Canaan Land several hundred years before Christ with their dispersion into the then vacant continent of Europe, where they were to become the great nations of Christendom. When they were scattered over Europe where they lost their name of Israel and later became known generally to historians as Isaac's Sons or Saxons; with divisions such as Angels, Celts, Germans, Scandinavians and other Kindred people.
As you read the foregoing and subsequent chapters you will come to understand the Israel people have been regathered right here in the United States; that America is the city and nation called by the name of New Jerusalem and by the name of Zion in prophecy. Of course many of our Israel people still live in England, the Western Nations of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Canada. But we are, at present, primarily concerned with the prophecy that this New Jerusalem, this Zion, of Bible Prophecy, would be captured and conquered by an alien force or power, called in the Bible ‑‑ Babylon. In the next verse of Zechariah Two, God speaks to this New Jerusalem, "Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest WITH the DAUGHTER of Babylon."
In Micah Chapter Four verse 10, God said to Zion; "...thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies." These and many others make it clear prophetic Zion would be captured by prophetic Babylon.
Now lets go on in the Book of Revelation and see if we can recognize "Mystery Babylon" from the descriptions as shown in Chapters 16, 17 and 18. We finished through verse 20 of Revelation 16 where Babylon was divided into three parts and the cities and governments were falling away; the islands fled away and the mountains [Nations] were not found. This appears to be symbolic language for countries and nations are currently disappearing as independent states and are being absorbed or swallowed up into one or the other of the three parts of Babylon.
One part of Babylon is represented by Russia which rules Western Asia, Eastern Europe and is at this very moment waging war against several parts of Africa; meanwhile Red China, a second part of Babylon is solidifying its control upon the sub‑continent of Asia, with Hong Kong soon to become part of China again as England has agreed to give up its control of it in the very near future; and the third part of Babylon, the Western European Nations, including the United States is co‑operating completely with those conquests.
Verse 21, "And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great."
This vision, that John saw, is often taught as if it will be real hail; frozen water which will fall from heaven. But remember, although John may have seen hail stones in the vision, like the other parts of his visions, each of these things was representative of something else.
The previous verses about the islands fleeing and the mountains not being found; certainly is not going to be fulfilled by real islands getting up out of the water and running away on supernatural legs; nor by the disappearance of all the mountains on the earth. No, islands and mountains in prophecy represents small and larger nations. And water in the Bible represents the WORD OF GOD; the living water which came from Christ.
In Ephesians 5, Paul writes of Christs' love for the church in verses 25 and 26, "Husbands love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the WORD."
So, you see, God's Word washes and cleanses people, but in Revelation 16:21, that water is frozen; it is in the form of hail; it cannot wash; it cannot cleanse; it can only cause hurt and pain. Many of the doctrines and teachings of Organized Religion today is like frozen water. Although they quote God's Word and present it as God's Word; they are handled deceitfully and in error; it cannot be drunk; it cannot wash; it cannot cleanse; it cannot be absorbed; it is in a form which brings about blasphemy against God.
The verse says that these hail stones fell upon men from heaven, which would indicate that God was the source of them, and it is true that God Almighty does send false doctrines to men who will not accept His Truths. "...because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie." [583]
It is obvious to any who will open their eyes that many men and women are beginning sent strong delusions; for many do believe lies and many do blaspheme God. So the hail of Rev. 16:21, would be, in effect: God's Word being rained upon wicked men in such a way that they will not believe it nor understand it; But instead blaspheme God. To show that this is true, we have an example in Matthew 13, where Jesus told His disciples that He taught in parables so that SOME people would not understand Him. "And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given." [584]
There is a remedy for the frozen Word: Get away from ministers who freeze or hide God's Word by misteaching it. God's Ministers are to make the Word plain and teach it in truth. Paul said in Hebrews that God's Ministers are to be made, "a flame of fire," [585] and Fire will unfreeze God's Word.
Let's go on into Chapter 17 of Revelation. Please remember that chapter divisions were not in the original text; it was first divided into chapters and verses when the Geneva Bible was translated in the fifteen hundreds and it was done for ease of reference. So Revelation 17 is simply a continuation of Revelation 15 and 16.
After John saw the hail, we read: "And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters."
Here the angel is now going to reveal to John the judgment or punishment of the great whore, which is called in verse 5, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT." Think about it! Babylon, the great whore, is ALREADY HERE, IT IS ALREADY ON THE WORLD STAGE, while these things are going on. John does NOT see Babylon arriving upon the scene. In fact, if you will check quite closely, you will find that the Book of Revelation does not announce the arrival or the rise of Babylon at all; it relates WHAT SHE IS ALREADY DOING and HER END. So we can clearly see that the great whore is not something which arises on the scene during the seven last plagues, she is there when the scene begins. The angel said to John, "Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication [FORNICATION: worship of idols (false gods), New World Dictionary p. 549. We believe this to be the worship of the Jews which the Clergy of Organized Religion and Jewish Propaganda has fostered upon the world]. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns." [586]
Here again is being demonstrated the utter impossibility of these visions being fulfilled literally. We will not be looking for some woman, dressed in red, siding upon a red beast having seven heads. No, this is symbolic for something else. "And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." [587]
Please review the next verse very very carefully. Especially those of you who have been taught that Christians will not be on the earth when these last chapters of the Book of Revelation are being fulfilled. Verse 6, still speaking of the woman arrayed in purple and scarlet ‑‑ MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT,� �And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration."
Now that last word "admiration" does not mean that John looked upon her with favor; It comes from the Greek word "thouma" from a form of "theaomat" which means to look closely at #2295 and #2300 Strong's Concordance.
But the woman was drunk with what? With the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Christ. What ever this woman is, whether a political or religious entity, SHE IS A KILLER OF CHRISTIANS. That is obvious because she is drunken with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.
This woman arrayed in purple and scarlet to be judged here, during the time of the seventh vial or the last plague upon the earth, was seen by John to have killed so many Christians that he could describe her in no other way than to say that she was drunken with their blood. In verse 18, the angel told John, "And the woman which thou sawest is that great city which reigneth over the kings of the earth."
We can see clearly that she is the world ruling power; she also kills Christians and in the last verse of Revelation 18, after she is destroyed, God said of her; "And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth."
Now we have said several times that this world ruling power called Babylon IS HERE ON THE EARTH TODAY. It is not some future thing! She is ALREADY working her awesome murders upon the Christian people in most of the nations of the earth.
And she is guilty of the death of not only Christians but of the death of all that has been slain upon the earth. That God's people would be in Babylon, captured by her as it were, is obvious by the call of God to His people: "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."
Which produces the following question: Why would God be so foolish as to call for His people to come out of Babylon, in Revelation 18, if the ministers of Organized Religion are correct in their doctrines; such as the "Rapture Doctrine" where they say all the Christians will be gone when these passages are fulfilled? No, God's people have not only been captured by Babylon, as we read in Micah 4:10, but it is responsible for the death of many of them.
Let's recount a little history, actually recent history, which has occurred in the lifetime of the older folks, and at least partiality known to all. The Red Bolshevik Jews conquered the 16 territories of Russia and Siberia between 1917 and 1921.
By 1931, they had put to death at least twenty million people, most of whom were Christians, and at least that many more were in slave labor camps.
Every Christian Bible, known to them, was burned or destroyed; Every Christian Church was closed and not opened up again until they could install a so‑called minister who had been trained to deliver the kind of religious messages to their liking; Every known Christian Minister, was either killed or placed in the slave labor camps in Siberia. And, that same process has been repeated in every nation taken over by the Communist; although it has not been reported upon by the Jew owned news media. The same people who claim their color is red, the color of the woman and the beast in Revelation 17 and 18.
About such men, Jesus said: "If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!" [588]
Since 1918, the Red antichrist have almost swept Asia and Eastern Europe clean of Christians. They are currently working night and day to either kill or drive out all of the Christians in Africa. They have already succeeded in destroying Rhodesia. South Africa is now in their sights; the pity of it is they are aided in their criminal pursuits by the rulers of our own beloved America.
But think God, as we read Revelation 17 and 18, we are not reading of the rise of this great antichrist world power, we are reading of its judgment; its end; ITS TOTAL DESTRUCTION. And as Babylon becomes more and more visible to our people they will be seeing; not its rise to power, but its termination; its final death throes as God moves to bring it to judgment; to destroy it completely for ever more.
IN FACT, ALL OF THE BI�BLE TEACH�ES IT WILL BE THE WICKED WHICH WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE EARTH, NOT THE CHRISTIANS OR THE SAINTS. THE SO‑CALLED RAPTURE DOCTRINE, LIKE ALL FALSE DOC�TRINE, HAS THE TRUTH UPSIDE DOWN AND BACKWARD. |
63). The waiting isles of Isaiah are an announcement of America and its early occupation by European Emigrants.
"Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish [Spain] first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the Lord thy God, and to the Holy one of Israel." [589]
Ancient historians say that "the term 'isles' primarily meant undiscovered lands supposed to exist in the Atlantic Ocean." The word "Tarshish," according to Strabo, refers to Tartesus formerly a seaport city of that name, situated on the site where Codiz now stands in Spain, near the pillars of Hercules. This has been accepted by Bible Scholars almost universally. One must remember Ephraim and Manasseh, as the representatives of the house of Jacob, both TOGETHER received the Birthright blessing under the hands of the dying patriarch. Therefore, since they jointly hold the birthright blessing, and even though Ephraim was set before Manasseh, we may expect that they should hold many of its blessings in common.
Take, for instance, the blessing pronounced upon the land of Joseph, as given by Moses on the day of his departure to the mountain of his death ‑‑ which is only an enlargement of the blessing given by Jacob-Israel on his deathbed; which was as follows: "And of Joseph he said, blessed of the Lord be his land, for the precious things of heaven [Sun‑Moon], for the dew [Rain in his season], and for the deep [Abundance of seafood and large lakes] that coucheth beneath [His vessels], And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun [Abundance of agriculture products], and for the precious things put forth by the moon [Fruit and vegetables], And for the chief things of the ancient mountains [Gold ‑ Silver ‑ Copper ‑ Iron and other precious metals], and for the precious things of the lasting hills [Oil ‑ Chemicals and other precious minerals]. And for the precious things of the earth and fullness thereof [Great Agriculture harvests], and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush [Always favored and protected by God]: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph...upon the top of him that was separated from his brethren. His glory is like the firstling [Firstborn] of his bullock, and his horns [Soldiers] are like the horns of unicorns [Strong soldiers]: with them he shall push [Be God's Battle‑Axe] the people together to the ends of the earth [Use the labors of the people of other lands]: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh." [590]
This promise of wealth on land and sea, of abundant harvests, rare gems, precious stones, the richest and greatest mining interests in the world is fulfilled in the Anglo‑Saxons, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic and Kindred Peoples ‑‑ NOT IN THE JEWS.
It is also true that these White Christian Nations not only push the aborigines and their possessions into the ends [Corners] of their countries, but they push the people of other nations and races with whom they go to war with into the corners of their countries as well.
CAN YOU NOT SEE THE SIMILARITY OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL BEING SEPARATED FROM THE FIRST PROMISED LAND BY THEIR MOVING FROM EUROPE TO AMERICA, JUST AS JO�SEPH WAS SEPARATED FROM THE PROMISED LAND IN EGYPT: The fulfillment of these promised blessings, which were pronounced upon the land of Joseph, by the people in the isles and their "separated" brethren, is the cause of the fulfillment of another prophecy given by Isaiah concerning this same people.� "Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle: thou whom the merchants of Zidon [Jews from the Palestine seaport], that pass over the sea have replenished, and by great water [Oceans, as in Ezekiel's riddle] the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river is her revenue; and she is the mart of nations." [591]
The Sihor is a river in Egypt. Israel dwelt in Egypt for about four hundred and thirty years, hence they were formerly from Egypt, then later from Palestine; now in the isles of the great water. Moreover, the birthright holders Ephraim and Manasseh, were natural born Egyptians. Thus the Lord said: "When Israel was a child [young nation], then I loved him and called my son out of Egypt." [592] And it is for this reason that, in the Bible, the Ephraim ‑ Manasseh Israelites are in two places called Egyptians [593]. This fact of calling Israel out of Egypt is doubly true in the case of Israel; first when Israel was a young nation, the Lord called him out of Egypt; then again after the flight of Joseph and Mary into Egypt with the Baby, Jesus, to escape from Herod.
Here we have the background for the announcement, that the country spoken of had been an undiscovered country, and the reason assigned as to why it should have remained concealed so long, "shall wait for me," unknown and unexplored, until God in His supervision of the nations, was ready for its occupation. "Wait for" God, until the Reformation in Europe had neutralized the enemies of civil and religious liberty, until the principle of self‑government should move the masses of the people to seed a new theater to realize the blessing of popular freedom, until the facilities of intellectual and moral improvement, invention of printing, the freedom of the pulpit, should arise as the powerful auxiliaries of an enlightened and wise Christian Republican Nation. "...and the ships of Tarshish [Old Spain] shall be first to bring thy [Israel's] sons from far."; "To bring thy sons from far."
This passage cannot apply to spreading of the Gospel, for the tidings of salvation are sent out to heathen lands, but here the sons of God [Israelites] are represented as being transported from their original homes to the newly discovered country. It cannot refer to Judea, for it was not and never was an undiscovered country, and the ships of Spain never brought, indeed, never can bring its first emigrants to it.
The motives of our ancestors emigration deserves special attention. With study, we find they came for the privilege of worshipping, "unto the name of the Lord thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel." Our ancestors were also driven by storms of persecution which they had suffered in the Old World. "The glories of Christianity in England are to be traced in the sufferings of confessors and martyrs in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries...We should never forget that the prison, the scaffold and the stake were stages in the march to civil and religious liberty which our forefathers had to travel." [594]
They sought a refuge in the New World. When the minions of monarchy invaded the Southern Hemisphere [South America], it was for the sake of gold. The Portuguese in Brazil, Cortez in Mexico, Pizarro in Peru, took possession of these countries, in the names of the majesties of their respective governments. But when the Huguenots, the Quakers and the Puritans came to America, they took possession f these lands in the name of God Almighty and the Lord Jesus Christ. THEIR LIKE WE SHALL NEV�ER SEE AGAIN, UNLESS AMERICA REPENTS AND RE�TURNS WITH ALL IT'S COLLECTIVE HEART TO GOD AND CHRIST! To review the history of America is but to trace the wonderful providence of God. Look at the men who directed and guarded our Republic in its infancy, in the Cabinet, in the Camp, in the National Council and in Foreign Policy!
During the meetings to form our Republic, darkness seemed to shroud and cover the heavens; it seemed no agreement could be reached. It was at that point in history that one agreement was made; they agreed to submit their cause to the God of Heaven; to proclaim a day of solemn fasting and prayer. At that point the resolution passed with deep emotion; The Council‑Chamber was closed, so that grave representatives could retire in silence in order that they could personally engage in fervent prayer; Holy Ministers of God at the Altar; faithful women with their babies pressed to their bosoms lifted their tear streamed eyes to heaven; Washington was on his knees in humble submission to the Lord God almighty and in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
THEN, AND ONLY THEN "A Nation" was born at once. A Nation whose birth date is recognized as the 4th of July, 1776, and then, 13 years later in 1789, it became a full grown nation and the Constitution, as we know it, went fully into effect. This also coincides with the fact that at the age of 13 an Israelite "man‑child" is declared to be an adult. But before we conclude this chapter we should turn to the 40th Chapter of Isaiah, where we again find prophecies concerning America/Israel. Chapter 40 is acknowledgment God was keeping an eye on our forefathers, according to His Covenant, although they had been scattered into far distant countries; to the West, to the East, to the North, and to the South. [595] The essence of the chapters is expressed in these lines: "Comfort ye, comfort ye, my people, saith your God...have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth." [596]
If one studies Isaiah's words carefully he will discover that God is speaking to Israel in New Testament times, for away from Old Palestine. From the 41 st Chapter, God addresses His people in the "APPOINTED PLACE" in the islands of the West and in America: "Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment. Who raised up the righteous man from the east [Jeremiah], called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow...But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chose, the seed of Abraham my friend...Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel: I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel." [597]
Yet He is pleased for His righteousness sake: "Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles [Nations]...I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house...Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the Lord's servant? Seeing many things...thou observest not; opening the ears...he heareth not. The Lord is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law...make it honourable." [598]
In the 43rd Chapter we read: "But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. when thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee...Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea I have made him. Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears...Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen...This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise." [599] In the 42nd Chapter of Isaiah, God asks the question "Who is blind but my servant?"
Chapter 49 addresses Israel as having been appointed by God as His stewards and witness; to be a servant nation unto Him; to colonize the earth, and be a channel of blessing to all the nations of the earth: "Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people from far...THOU ART MY SERVANT, O ISRAEL, in whom I will be glorified ...I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles [Nations], that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth...Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places...Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me." [600] Isaiah makes it clear God is speaking to the "Lost Tribes of Israel" in the following words: "Thus saith the Lord, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, FOR YOUR INIQUITIES HAVE YE SOLD YOURSELVES, and FOR YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS IS YOUR MOTHER PUT AWAY." [601] Israel, God's wife of the Old Testament had sold herself, was divorced from Him, and is to be brought under the influence of the New Covenant ‑‑ the acceptance of Christianity.
64). The history of America parallels the history of Ancient Israel.
"And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord delivered them in to the hand of Midian seven years. And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds. And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them; And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come into Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass. For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it. And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the Lord." [602]
It is past time that the people of America realize that they, as the Anglo‑Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic and Kindred people who settled this great country ARE THE DESCENDANTS OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB‑ISRAEL. THAT THEY WERE/ARE, IN FACT, THE PEOPLE OF THE HOLY BIBLE. However, whenever anyone tries to inform them of this fact, the enemies of Christ; of America; of our Hebrew children begin their efforts at disinformation to brand anyone attempting to put forward that information, as a neo‑Nazi, White Supremist, anti‑Semite or some other such buzz word they use to stifle opposition.
But once one gets past those terms he discovers that the information being presented, is simply a revelation of Biblical and Historical facts. Once we understand that America is in Bible Prophecy and we learn: THE PEOPLE WHO SETTLED AND FORMED THIS NATION ARE THE DESCENDANTS OF THE PEOPLE OF THE BIBLE. They were Bible believers. They believed both the Old and New Testament to be the Word of God. They established their homes, their communities, their cities and states, and their nation upon the whole counsel of God; not part of it; not in addition to it; and certainly not a perversion of it.
They recognized Jesus Christ as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. They were not Christ‑ rejecters or Christ‑deniers. They were the ones who had the faith and courage and vision to establish this nation. They are the ones who shed their blood, gave their lives, and who made other incredible sacrifices, proving the genuineness and divine origin of their faith. The others with their false faiths, their false religions, and their antichrist systems came later.
The illegal aliens which are flowing into America, the reverse discrimination which is being practiced in America; the economic hardships coming upon our people where they must have a second job or put their wife to work, so that the children's mother can no longer stay at home and etc.; devastating taxation, political corruption and injustice; and still they reject the Biblical Law in America. All of this is simply a precise repeat of the Bible History which is recorded in the Book of Judges, the fifth and sixth chapters.
We have to realize that history repeats itself. Therefore, we will read about the past history of our Israel people; and by doing so you will begin to see what is happening in America is a repeat of the Bible stories of our ancestors; and what happened to them. The similarity is staggering and almost beyond belief. To prove our point we will review Judges 5 and 6. However, these words will have little meaning to most American Christians if they do not realize that AMERICA IS IN BIBLE PROPHECY; that THE ANGLO‑SAXONS AND KINDRED PEOPLES ARE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL: NOT THE JEWS. THAT IT IS OUR ANCESTORS WE ARE READING ABOUT IN JUDGES.
Now verse 31 of Chapter 5, states Israel had "rest" or peace for forty years. THEN the sons of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord. [603] In these two verses we see an historical cycle that has ALWAYS been followed by our Israel people. They would experience peace; then prosperity; then they would forget their God, turn from His Laws and go after other gods; then as a result they would become oppressed as punishment for their sins.
This cycle can not only be seen throughout the history of Ancient Israel but throughout American History as well. And we encourage you to read the first six chapters of Judges in order to see this cycle being repeated over and over again. One of peace; prosperity; turning from God; economic and social oppression; then repenting and crying out to the Lord for deliverance; the cycle would be broken and then it would start all over again.
Following is a quotation which illustrates this point: "Moreover the shared Christian faith, the mortar that has held us together through so many crises has lost its vitality. For a variety of reasons the church has lost its positional role of spiritual leadership. Perhaps this resulted from the arrival of peace, after so long and harrowing an ordeal, or the explosive prosperity of a young republic with no enemies and unlimited natural resources." [604]
What have we read here? It is the same cycle we read about in the Bible. Peace, prosperity, turning from God, oppression, repentance deliverance, and so on. We are reading about a time which took place immediately after the revolutionary war in America; about the shared Christian Faith which had bounded them together had lost its vitality.
And that for a number of reasons the church had lost its way and purpose; further, we recognize this same thing has/is happening in America. No generation in American history has illustrated this point better or more complete than the "Baby‑Boom Generation," those people known as the war babies. After the United States had peace at the end of World War II, what happened to our country? Great prosperity was experienced by the so‑called "Baby‑Boomers"; they had an excess of food, of spending money and even an automobile as they got older.
A Time Magazine article entitled "Baby‑Boomers Turn Forty," describes them as: "The Baby‑Boomers were the 'Spock' generation; the 'Now' generation; the 'Woodstock' generation; the 'me' generation. Vocal minorities, known as the 'Woodstock' generation preached rock music, free love and heightened consciousness."
Here we are presented with a description of the young "Baby‑Boomers" as they came into their puberty; and they have experienced peace and great prosperity as no other generation ever has. The Korean and Vietnam conflicts notwithstanding. It would appear that God was writing directly to and about this generation: "How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are not gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses. They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife. Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged or such a nation as this?" [605]
Does this not perfectly describe the "Baby‑Boom" generation? The "Me" generation? The "Woodstock" generation that promoted drugs and free love?
In Judges Chapter Six we see the punishment of God come upon a disobedient people. Yes, to be completely honest, the problems of the Israelites in chapter six was not the Midianites! The problem was the SINS of the Israelites, because they had once again forgotten their God.
In other words, the covenant people, who were supposed to be a blessing to all the people of the earth, had now become disobedient and rebellious people. According to verses 3 and 4 the people were not able to reap the fruits of their labor; because when they planted others would come in and take what they had. This same type of hardship has come upon the "Baby‑ Boomers," although they may not recognize it. Some of which may be seen in a continued reading of the Time Magazine article: "But the 'Baby‑Boomers' great expectations has been diminished by a series of rude social and economic shocks. Many bravely refuse to admit it, yet the fact is that many 'Baby‑Boomers' DO NOT LIVE AS WELL AS THEIR PARENTS. The 'Baby‑Boomers' were hit by a quadruple whammy. Inflation, fierce competition for jobs, exorbitant housing costs and recession of the 70's and 80's...for some the sacrifice has meant forgoing additional children...Casual encounters with open sex left most 'Baby‑Boomers' with a sense of social isolation and loneliness."
Thus, the "Baby‑Boomers" are well on their way toward the economic hardships as recorded in Judges Chapter Six, which were so harsh that the people were forced to flee into the mountains, to build caves and dens. The reasons becomes apparent when one reads of the feats of Gideon. "And there came an Angel of the Lord, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abierzrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites. And the Angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour. And Gideon said unto Him, Oh my Lord, if the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us [This is exactly the same question which is currently being asked by many Americans]? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt? but now the Lord hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites." [606]
It's interesting to note that while the economic hardships and crises was going on that Gideon was referred to as a great warrior. What was Gideon doing? First of all let's remember what was happening in this economy. The scriptures relate that when the Israelites had sown their crops, the Midianites would come up with the Amalekites and the sons from the east and encamp against them and destroy their produce. In other words a type of "GRADUATED INCOME TAX" was being levied against the Israelites. The more they made the more that would be taken from them [Does that sound familiar ‑‑ It should because that is EXACTLY what the IRS does to the American People Today!], and of course it would be used to feed the aliens which had come into the land with the invading forces.
Gideon was simply there beating out his wheat in a wine press in order to hide his income from the "TAX COLLECTORS." And was trying to keep the fruit of his labors for himself. For this Gideon was called A VALIANT WARRIOR, because there is no earlier record of his having been to war other than TO OPPOSE THE TAX COLLECTOR.
Could this mean that God has a high regard for someone who will go against the odds and oppose tyranny in the form of "INCOME TAX AGENTS?" We believe he was called a valiant warrior because he was to save and hide the fruit's of his labor from the "REVENUE COLLECTORS;" and BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT HE WAS INVOLVED IN WHAT WE WOULD CALL A WAR AGAINST OPPRESSION AND AGAINST ALIEN FORCES WHICH HAD TAKEN OVER THE CONTROL OF HIS COUNTRY. Just as the Patriots of today oppose and fight against the aliens who have taken control of our own beloved country, when they try to find tax shelters [Caves, Dens, Holes and etc.]; but we call them "Trusts," "Off‑Shore Banking," "Corporate Entities" and etc.
Now some will say, "How do you relate these things with the scriptures?" These tax shelters simply serve the same purpose as the caves and dens and winepress that the Patriots of Israel had built in the mountains. In fact, the IRS Agents Handbook says that tax havens are used by tax‑payers to: "Avoid Federal Income Tax!"
The punishment of Judges Chapter 6 was not only economic but social also. The land had been invaded by other races who came not as productive citizens but to "devastate it." They were so many in number that they could not be counted and had come in like locusts [Is that not what the illegal aliens are doing today.
They are not coming as productive citizens for the most part, they are coming to live the good life on the backs of the working American. And they are coming in such numbers they cannot be counted ‑‑ they are like locusts in number]; and that precise problem in America is illustrated in the following quotations taken from an article in The Spotlight Newspaper, on May 26, 1986, entitled "You're Paying For Illegal Aliens Milking of the U.S. Welfare System." "Numerous Mexican citizens, with U.S. resident alien status, abuse the American welfare system by becoming 'wards of the state,' according to an investigation by a Texas newspaper. Furthermore, loopholes in the law, which allow a resident to petition for the admittance of relatives, help to overload the system...One immigration employee commented: 'It's amazing! When they [Mexican and other illegal aliens] come over to our office, they already know where the food stamp place is, the commodities distribution place, the welfare place, the housing place. I don't even know where those places are, but they know.' Many of those coming into this country from Mexico quickly merge into an underground network whose sole purpose, apparently, is to abuse the system, according to the 'Monitor.' In one 45‑minute period, 37 individuals made applications for these handouts. Of those 37, only one was an American citizen. All 36 of the others were resident aliens. 'We have people come in here every day who don't have all the necessary papers and then they cuss at us when we deny them the food.' Garcia told the 'Monitor.' O.C. Brandon, chief of the immigration and port director at the Roma International Bridge, was asked if he could investigate the abuses at the distribution center and take action against those people who were using counterfeit green cards. But Brandon said new laws prohibited the Immigration Service from conducting such investigations. 'It has gotten totally out of hand,' Brandon told the 'Monitor.' 'The Texas Department of Public Safety is being sued because one of their troopers arrested a man who was an illegal alien.
���� Now only the U.S. Border Patrol can arrest illegal aliens,' he said. 'What we see happening here in Rio Grande City and around the country is that these people [Aliens] come over here and then they just become wards of the state,'...They are taken care of by the American Taxpayer ‑‑ and that's you and me.'"
The following quotes came from another article in the same paper entitled "Way of Life in Small Town Destroyed." "You are going to lose your way of life," an Immigration and Naturalization Service [INS] official recently told the residents of Chandler Heights, a small town in Arizona. "The reason His agency can do nothing about the illegal aliens who have flooded the community...'We're talking about an infestation of illegal people her,' she said.' IT'S LIKE LOCUSTS.'"
The social and economic problems now experienced by White Israelite Americans is exactly like those prophesied in Deuteronomy 8:10‑14; 28:43‑47. Today God's people have been brought very low to the point of being trampled upon. Negroes can say black is beautiful, the Mexicans can cry out for Laraza, meaning my race first, and the Orientals [Sons of the east] can receive federal subsidy, but God's Israel people must foot the bill; never show concern for their race and endure what the government calls "Affirmative Action" WHICH IS NOTHING BUT REVERSE DISCRIMINATION.
Such hardships and oppression has always been God's answer for turning His people back to Him [Making them salty again for His people are to be the salt of the earth]. Jesus said of His sheep: "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? IT IS THENCEFORTH GOOD FOR NOTHING BUT TO BE CAST OUT, and TO BE TRODDEN UNDER FOOT OF MEN." [607]
Judges Chapter 6 verse 7 shows that eventually the children of Israel "cried out to the Lord." The Hebrew word for cry means to shriek from anguish or danger, to convene publicly, to assemble together, to cry out, to cause to be proclaimed. It is similar to our American farmers of the Midwest convening and crying out in alarm, ONLY THEY STUPIDLY CRIED OUT TO THE GOVERNMEN; RATHER THAN TO THEIR GOD! This crying out is commanded in the Prophetic Scriptures concerning the Prophetic Land called Zion [America] which according to Joel 2:20 had a Western and Eastern Sea [As does America: "But I will remove far off from your the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost (Western) sea. And was being invaded For a nation is come upon my land strong, and without number." [608]
By a nation as is America today!. Joel described these people as locusts and worms who were invading the land to devastate it. [609] The text reveals that the ministers and elders of the land were for the most part silent concerning the invasion [Just as our so‑called "Ministers" of Organized Religion]; then God commands His True Ministers to proclaim a fast and cry out: "Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land unto the house of the Lord your God, and cry unto the Lord." [610]
This crying out is in keeping with the national promise and command found in: "If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are CALLED BY MY NAME [Christians], shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." [611]
The fast of Joel 1:14 as commanded by God is not merely the restriction of food intake, but a fast as described by Isaiah: "Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?" [612]
THE COMMAND "not to hide yourself from your own flesh" TEACHES US IT IS GODLY TO BE CONCERNED FOR YOUR OWN RACE!
Back to the Gideon story recorded in Judges 6 to witness the events that followed the "Crying Out," where we find that they were FIRST spiritual in nature NOT military! "And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord because of the Midianites, That the Lord sent a PROPHET unto the children O Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage; And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave you their land; And I said unto you, I am the Lord your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice." [613]
Notice that God did not call Gideon the great military commander but rather a PROPHET. The people were not ready to throw off the yoke of oppression through the militant actions of Gideon because they lacked the necessary spiritual understanding and the will to be free [This was because the prophets of Baal, the Clergy of Organized Religion in their day, were feeding the people a diet of submission and lies that it was better to submit and live, than to resist and die. Just as they are doing in America, restored Israel today].
Had God not sent the "TRUE" Prophet FIRST, there would have been no military victory. Just as in the days prior to America's War for Independence; before God sent George Washington in 1776 He FIRST sent prophets like George Whitefield. Who was one of several preachers to prepare the people, prior to the shot heard around the world at Lexington Green.
This is well illustrated in the history book "The Light and The Glory," in the chapter entitled "A Sunburst of Light," which describes how God raised up preachers to prepare America for Independence FROM King George and DEPENDENCE upon the Lord Jesus Christ. The following quote is from that chapter: "Thus by a divine lightning storm, the land had been awakened again. Only now it was not just a sprinkling of settlers around Cape Cod and Massachusetts Bay; now the land was a giant. Yet it was a growing giant still, and here again we marveled at the depth of wisdom reflected in God's timing. For it would need a full thirty years...time enough to raise up a whole new generation of evangelical ministers and laity to carry the Light to the westernmost settlements...before the young giant was spiritually tough enough to face its supreme test...Far from there being a prolonged lull after the sunburst of Light, the watchword of this period was action. Whitefield and the others would ride and ride, and preach till their lungs practically gave out. Altogether, Whitefield preached more than eighteen thousand sermons between 1736 and 1770."
When one reads these verses Judges 6:7‑10, then analyzes them, it become apparent that the prophet preached an "IDENTITY" message. He identified God as the "God of Israel" and the people as descendants of those brought out of Egypt. In other words they were Israelites, a truth they had evidently lost. This prophet taught them correct history and took away any guilt they may have had for living in the choice promised land by teaching them God "gave you their land." He then went on to point out how they had not obeyed His Laws.
The prophet's message put the blame for their troubles where it belonged; Not on the Amalekites, Midianites or sons of the east but upon THEM, THE STIFFNECKED, REBELLIOUS ISRAELITES. Such preaching is needed today in America.
The Anglo‑Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic and Kindred peoples who were given the new promised land of 2 Samuel 7:10; the New Jerusalem of Zechariah 2:1‑4; need to again hear the truth they have lost; that they are the Israel people spoken of in the Scriptures.
They need to learn that the true cause of their problems ARE NOT THE JEWS, USURY, ECONOMICS, COMMUNISTS, HUMANISTS, BANKERS, CORPORATIONS, POLITICIANS but they THEMSELVES! That they are a stiffnecked rebellious people who have disobeyed God's Laws; which if kept would immediately solve all these other problems.
But their "Ministers" have prophesied lies to them by falsely saying that the Law [God's Law] has been done away with, but they "loved to have it so." [614]
65). The Sun, Moon and Stars to withdraw their shining.
In Prophetic Scripture the sun, moon and stars represents Jacob [The Sun, his wife Rachel The Moon] and the twelve Patriarchs [The Stars] of the twelve tribes of Israel. "And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?" [615]; Then in Joel we find: "The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining." [616]; "The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining." [617]
When the White Anglo‑Saxons, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic and Kindred people of America learn their true identity they will understand why the United States has become a haven for the ABORTION MURDER MILLS; WHORE MONGERS; QUEERS, PERVERTS, PORNOGRAPHIC STUDIOS; Why her children are abused; Why God, Jesus Christ and prayer have been removed from their schools. That it is simply a repeat of the history of the White Race who waded to her shores in 1620; fought for her existence in 1776 and then settled her prairies and coasts in the 1800's.
The history of our race is that of the Israelites as related in the scriptures and who repeatedly turned from the God of their fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to serve the Baals and thus bring upon themselves national hardships, plunder and other calamities.
Judges Chapter Two, verses ten thru fourteen, in only one of many passages that describes this repeating scenario. "And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, WHICH KNEW NOT THE LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel. And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and SERVED BAALIM [The Baals]: And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and FOLLOWED OTHER GODS, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and BOWED THEMSELVES UNTO THEM, and provoked the Lord to anger. And THEY FORSOOK THE LORD AND SERVED BAAL and ASHTAROTH. And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies." [618]
Now let's consider these verses more carefully. Notice that in verse 10 this scenario began when they, as a race lost their identity. They did not know the Lord nor recognize the good things God had provided and the miracles He had performed for their race, their Israel people. And so it is today, the Anglo‑Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian and Kindred people who settled America are blinded to their Biblical Identity; just as Isaiah prophesied. "Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the Lord's servant? Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not. The Lord is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable. But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come? Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the Lord, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law. Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not: and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart." [619] Isaiah then goes on to say: "But not thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." [620]
The results of that blinded condition is described, as forsaking the God of their fathers to serve the Baals. "And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim: And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them and provoked the Lord to anger. And they forsook the Lord, and served Baal and Ashtaroth." [621]
Verse 14 shows the national consequences of their actions. "And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers and spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies."
This constant turning from God to serve Baal, thus bringing upon themselves, financial, moral, spiritual and national decay. Those same people, the White Race, now in America, are again involved with Baal Worship.
To understand the meaning of "to serve the Baal gods" we must begin by piecing together Bible Scripture and archaeological findings and then compare and apply these findings to America today. The word Baal as it appears in the scriptures has a variety of meanings. Originally, it was not a proper noun, but eventually it came to be used as such. In its preliminary sense it means master or owner, but it is most often used in the scripture to refer to a deity or deities.
The word Baal is not the name of one god but the name of the presiding deity or deities in any given locality. When Israel entered Canaan land Joshua 3, the worship of the Baals was much the same everywhere in the land; thus, it came to represent the idea of one god. In the scriptures there are six name for Baal:
(1) Baal,���������������������������������� (4) Moloch,
(2) Baalim,������������������������������ (5) Melchem,
(3) Molech,����������������������������� (6) Milchem.
The first two (1) and (2) being Hebrew names and the last being Ammonites and Moabite names. Baal's wife was Ashtoreth with the plural being Ashtoroth. The following can be found to be Baalism.
1). Spying on Israel from the high places ‑ The Jewish Synagogues.
In Numbers 22 we find where Israel's enemies conspired to curse them in order to drive them out of the land (v. 6). The conspiracy involved the hiring of Balaam and in (verse 41) we read where King Balak took Balaam "up to the high places of Baal" so that he might curse Israel.
TODAY IN AMERICA: there are spies in high places, placed there by foreign enemy powers involved in the one‑world communist/Jewish/Zionist conspiracy; for the purpose of cursing the True Israelites and destroy their land ‑‑ AMERICA!
As a result communism has come to our shores, and has grown strong enough so that socialism has actually replaced our once Republican form of government to the point that almost ALL of the planks of the communist manifesto are part of our present government.
2). Sexual Immorality and Interracial Marriage.
In Numbers 25:1‑7, we read where Israel played the harlot with the daughters of Moab and, according to verse 3, "joined himself unto Baal." Now to fully understand what was happening one must dig deeper than just these verses. So to shed further light upon them we must turn to the ancient book of Jasher Chapter 85, verses 39‑40 and 54‑61: "And the children of Moab sent to the children of Midian, and they made peace with them, and the elders of Midian came to the land of Moab to make peace in behalf of the children of Midian. And the elders of Moab counselled with the elders of Midian what to do in order to save their lives from Israel. And the children of Moab were afraid of the children of Israel, and the children of Moab took all their daughters and their wives beautiful aspect and comely appearance, and dressed them in gold and silver and costly garments. And the children of Moab seated those women at the door of their tents, in order that the children of Israel might see them and turn to them, and not fight against Moab. And all the children of Moab did this thing to the children of Israel, and every man placed his wife and daughter at the door of his tent, and all the children of Israel turned to the daughters of Moab and coveted them, and they went to them. And it came to pass that when a Hebrew came to the door of the tent of Moab, and spoke with her at the door of the tent that which he desired, whilst they were speaking together the men of the tent would come out and speak to the Hebrew like unto these words: 'Surely you know that we are brethren, we are all the descendants of Lot and descendants of Abraham his brother, wheretofore then will you not remain with us, and wherefore will you not eat our bread and our sacrifice?' And when the children of Moab had thus overwhelmed him with their speeches, and enticed him by their flattering words, they seated him in the tent and cooked and sacrificed for him, and he ate of their sacrifice and of their bread. They then gave him wine and he drank and became intoxicated, and they placed before him a beautiful damsel, and he did with her as he liked, for he knew not what he was doing, as he had drunk plentifully of wine. Thus did the children of Moab to Israel in that place, in the plain of Shittim, and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel on account of this matter, and he sent a pestilence among them, and there died of the Israelite twenty‑four thousand men."
TODAY IN AMERICA: our Israel people are continually being exposed to, enticed by, and bombarded with sexual fifth and stimuli from grade school sex education [Instruction to our children on how to make a baby, before they can even spell the word], in Hollywood movies, television shows, soap box operas; from sexually enticing fashions to sex promoting bubble gum and sun tan oil commercials. The results of this is self‑evident and ranges from rape and venereal disease to divorce and abortions.
This exposure to sexual stimuli parallels that of placing the daughters of Moab at the tent door. Interracial marriage and integration has been forced upon America's youth; half‑breed rock stars are promoted as their idols; television displays family role models as consisting of mixed races, sexual deviates, adulterers, divorcees and Queers; most commercials are played or sung mostly of mulattos blacks and browns. To further this detestable sin, we are being told that we are all brothers, completely in opposition to the teachings of the scriptures, destined to form one world brotherhood of mankind.
3). Forsaking their God. "And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the Lord, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel. And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim: And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers." [622]
TODAY IN AMERICA: our youth are being taught lies, by the enemies of Christ and America; such as that George Washington had fathered illegitimate children and that Paul Revere did not make his famous ride because he was in a whorehouse in Boston at the time. Then they hear the anti‑Christs crying out and ridiculing that thing called the "Old fashioned, out‑dated Puritan ethic." This causes our Israel people to forsake the God of their fathers, which is the God of the Bible; and with this forsaking they have also allowed the outlawing of prayer and Bible reading in the schools, both of which our forefathers had.
4). Antichrists have changed the Christian culture of our country. "Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents." [623]
Baal worship in America has changed our land into an alien place; brought in other gods and have shed the innocent blood of millions of unborn babies in the abortion murder mills.
TODAY IN AMERICA: our land is totally foreign to what it once was a few decades ago.
5). Prostitution, Homosexuality, Illicit Sex and Child abuse is rampant in America. "They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind." [624]
Haley's Bible Handbook says, concerning the religion of the Canaanites, "Baal was their principal god; Ashtoreth, Baal's wife, their principal goddess. She was the personification of the reproductive principle in nature. Ishtar was her Babylonian name, Astarte her Greek and Roman name. Baalim, the plural of Baal, was images of Baal, Ashtoroth, the plural of Ashtoreth. Ashera was a sacred pole, cone of stone, or a tree trunk representing the goddess. Temples of Baal and Ashtoreth were usually together. Priestesses were temple prostitutes. Sodomites were male temple prostitutes. The worship of Baal, Ashtoreth, and other Canaanite gods consisted in the most extravagant orgies; their temples were centers of vice."
With the exposures of the sexual perversions in many of the television ministries of today shows the worship of Baal in our churches of today. We can see Baal worship in the murder of millions of unborn babies in the tax‑exempt abortion murder mills of America today.
Another quote from Haley's Bible Handbook states; "The Oriental Institute, excavating at Megiddo which is near Samaria, found in the stratum of Ahab's time, the ruins of a temple of Ashtoreth, goddess wife of Baal. Just a few steps from this temple was a cemetery, where many jars were found containing remains of infants who had been sacrificed in this temple. Prophets of Baal and Ashtoreth were official murderers of little children. This is a side light on Elijah's execution of the prophets of Baal and helps us to understand why Jehu was so ruthless in his extermination of Baalism."
This same Baal religious rite is known as abortion and the only difference is that these murdered babies are thrown into garbage bags and are dumped and burned in garbage pits. These Baal priests are called MD's but we believe a more proper would be DM's ‑‑ DAMNABLE MURDERERS.
6). Pornography in America.
Haley's Bible Handbook describes an archaeological find: "Under the debris, in this 'High Place,' Macalister found great numbers of jars containing the remains of children who had been sacrificed to Baal. The whole area proved to be a cemetery for newborn babies. Also, in this 'High Place,' under the rubbish, MacAlister found enormous quantities of images and plaques of Ashtoreth with rudely exaggerated sex organs, designed to foster sensual feelings. Canaanites worshipped, by immoral indulgence, as a religious rite, in the presence of their gods; and then, by murdering their first‑born children, as a sacrifice to these same gods." This form of Baal worship is nothing more than pornography.
TODAY IN AMERICA: the Baal worship of pornography is a multi‑million dollar business and is protected by our courts and law officers as a form of self‑expression.
7). May Day and the May Pole. The most important holiday in the communist world is May Day, and is celebrated on May 1st. The May pole and May Day came from the worship of Astarte and sacred pole Ashera.
TODAY IN AMERICA: the alien antichrists who control our government do not, as of yet, honor the communist holiday known as May Day; but they have made a holiday to honor an antichrist communist sympathizer [To say the least] by the name of: Martin Luther King Day.
8). Americans follow after Strange Gods. The Bible calls Baal worship going after strange gods.
TODAY IN AMERICA: the churches are proclaiming a different or strange god, stating that the god of the New Testament is different than the God of the Old Testament even though the scriptures teach HE DOES NOT CHANGE. "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever." [625]
God Almighty is still the God of Israel; the covenant people who's fathers were Abraham, Isaac and Jacob‑Israel and are known today as the Anglo‑Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic and Kindred People; who are being true to their history and are once again serving the gods of Baal.
They have ever been unable to learn from the past UNTIL they learn who they are and what history belongs to them. And their "Ministers" have sold themselves and have become "Prostitutes" to the enemies of Christ and Israel, so they WILL NOT teach them the truth about God, Jesus Christ or their heritage.
Our enemies know the ONLY way they can conquer our Israel People is to cause them to turn from the God of our fathers and to serve Baal; just as they are doing today; and have done in the past so many times. And it ALWAYS ends with the same results as it did in ancient Israel.
Therefore, my Israel Brothers and sisters, who are the Anglo‑Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic and Kindred People, the descendants of our fathers Abraham, Isaac, Jacob/Israel and Joseph. The servants of God Almighty and the Lord Jesus Christ.
"The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on THE ARMOUR OF LIGHT. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof." [626]
The Scriptures say: "But let us, who are of the day, be sober, PUTTING ON THE BREAST PLATE OF FAITH AND LOVE; and FOR AN HELMET, THE HOPE OF SALVATION. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. Who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another..." [627]
So that we might prepare for the coming battle of the ages, we must: "PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. FOR WE WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, BUT AGAINST PRINCIPALITIES, AGAINST POWERS, AGAINST THE RULERS OF THE DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD, AGAINST SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES. WHEREFORE TAKE UNTO YOU THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, TAKING THE SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And TAKE THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD." [628]
Mothers and women of Israel, take heed and do as your mothers and teach our Israel men, our Great White Warrior Race; the servants of Almighty God and the Lord Jesus Christ. For the mothers of these past Great Warriors, who, giving her son his shield, said, "WITH IT, OR UPON IT!" she inspired the soldiers that afterward demolished the walls of Athens, and aided Alexander the Great to conquer the Orient.
These Great White Women gave Marion the fiery arrows to burn their own house, that it might no longer shelter the enemies of her infant country, the house where she had lain upon her husband's bosom, and where her children had been born, who labored more effectually for her State than Locke or Shaftesbury, or that many a Legislature has done, since that State won its freedom.
It was of slight importance to the Pharaoh of Egypt and the Monarchs of Assyria and Phoenicia, that the son of a White woman, a foundling, adopted by the daughter of Sesostris Ramses, slew an Egyptian that oppressed a Hebrew slave, and fled into the desert, to remain there for forty years.
But Moses, who might otherwise have become Regent of Lower Egypt, known to us only by the Word of God, the Holy Bible, became the leader who led our Israel people forth from Egypt. It was Moses which said unto the Children of Israel, "The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me: unto him [Christ] ye shall hearken." [629]
It was he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spoke to him on Mt. Sinai, and with our fathers: who received the oracles, Laws and Statutes of God, to give to us.
The God our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again to Egypt and told Aaron to make them gods to go before them. Our fathers then made a calf in of gold and sacrificed to it and rejoiced in the works of their hands, just as their ancestors do today, here in America ‑‑ New Jerusalem and New Zion. Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the Old Testament, "O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them..." [630]
So, God took them BEYOND BABYLON. "Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, THE WATERS OF THE GREAT DEEP; THAT HATH MADE THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA A WAY FOR THE RANSOMED [Israel] TO PASS OVER?" [631] And God has promised us that: "If my people, which are called by my name [CHRIST(ians)], shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." [632]
When this has been done, and it will in God's own time; OUR AGES LONG ENEMY, THE JEWS, WILL BE UTTERLY DESTROYED. This we know because God has said it.
"The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord God concerning Edom [The Jews]; We have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle. Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: THOU [Jews] ART GREATLY DESPISED. The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high [High Government offices]; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? Though thou [Jews] exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars [Israelites], thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord. If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grape‑gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes? How are the things of Esau [The Jews] searched out [Their evil workings will be exposed]! how are his hidden things sought up! All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee [The Eastern European Nations] have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee [That is why the Jews are fleeing the so‑called Communist countries today and are frantically trying to get to America, Jer ‑{USA}‑ lem, Where Christ has commanded they be brought to be destroyed; 'But those mine enemies {The Jews}, which would not that I should reign over them, BRING HITHER {to Jerusalem}, AND SLAY THEM BEFORE ME.' [633]]; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him [Esau]. Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord, EVEN DESTROY THE WISE MEN OUT OF EDOM, AND UNDERSTANDING OUT OF THE MOUNT OF ESAU [The wise men ‑‑ known today and the 'Learned Elders' will be taken away]? And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that EVERY ONE OF THE MOUNT OF ESAU [The Jews] MAY BE CUT OFF BY SLAUGHTER. For thy violence against thy brother Jacob [Israelites; Anglo‑Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic and Kindred people] shame shall cover thee, and THOU SHALT BE CUT OFF FOR EVER. In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates [The alien invasion which we are seeing today], and cast lots upon Jerusalem [America], even THOU WAST ONE OF THEM. But thou [Jews] shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah [The Jews rejoicing over the destruction of Germany after World War I and II], in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress. Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people [Israel] in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity [The murders of the unborn, crimes and perversions of today]; Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape [Those Christians who have attempted to flee from the slaughter of Christians by the Jews in the Communist countries during this century]; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress [The millions of Christians which were slaughtered by the Jews in Russia and its satellite Countries]. For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head. For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain [The United States of America], so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall be as though they had not been. But upon mount Zion [America] shall be deliverance [See brother Israelites the Lord God Almighty has promised AGAIN that we shall be delivered from our enemies] and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions [Our Israel people will take over the treasures that the Jews have stolen away from us]. AND THE HOUSE OF JACOB [All the Christian {Israel} Nations of the Earth] SHALL BE A FIRE, AND THE HOUSE OF JOSEPH A FLAME, AND THE HOUSE OF ESAU [The Jews] FOR STUBBLE, AND THEY [Jacob and Joseph ‑‑ the True Israelites ‑‑ The White Race] SHALL KINDLE IN THEM, AND DEVOUR THEM [The Jews]; AND THERE SHALL NOT BE ANY REMAINING OF THE HOUSE OF ESAU [Here we are told that ALL THE JEWS OF THE WORLD WILL BE DESTROYED!]; for the Lord hath spoken it..." [634]
In the 16th Century, Martin Luther, the great reformer accused the Jews of:
"squeezing from us our money and goods...of lying, blaspheming and cursing."
He went on to say:
"I will give you my true counsel. First, avoid their synagogues and schools and warn our people about them...there is more wisdom uttered in three of Aesop's fables, than in all the books of the Talmudist rabbis." Yet in spite of this warning, Luther's books are now banned in Lutheran schools.
It will do us little good to attack the arms of this world‑wide octopus. The filthy arms of prostitution, drugs, pornography, immorality ‑‑ you recognize most of them, I am sure. It will do us little good to march before the abortion clinics and before the theaters which display a filthy, blasphemous movie such as THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST, as long as the head is allowed to remain healthy.
Most of the well known Christian leaders who protested the movie, were more concerned of the movie, than in its contents and what it would do to their people. How many of them do you know that have even told their people that the producers of this movie were Jews and that the studio that produced it was Jew owned and run?
I dare you, as concerned Americans to look behind the facade of Hollywood and see those who seek to destroy Christian values. I dare you to look at the names of those who are seeking to destroy the economic stability of America in order to further their control.
I challenge you to look and then act, for you will find most of the top leaders in this "Plot to Destroy Christianity," are Jewish names. These must be exposed, if we are to remain free. They have already taken prayer and Bible reading from our schools; crosses from our hillsides, and nativity scenes from our courtyard square.
This is a Christian Nation. If they wish to live as Jews, then let them abide by our laws, not try and destroy them and set up their own filthy standards.
When this is shown beyond a shadow of a doubt, then it lies within our rights, to defend our Christian way of life, our faith, our race, our country and our freedom, with any means that is at hand. If this means evicting the Jews from America, as has happened to them before, then that means will be taken. But through God's help, we will defend our faith, our race, and our freedom against this godless enemy and we will consider their Christian stooges in America as our enemy too.
WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER! Our freedom was not "bought and paid for at Valley Forge," that was only the "down payment" on freedom. Every generation must be willing to make payment on this account, if they are to remain free. BEFORE GOD, WE INTEND TO DO JUST THAT!
It is up to you, whether we remain free, or become slaves! For God has said:
"...Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side...And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall set against thee buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments. And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters [Has the enemy not taken our sons and daughters with their drugs, lewdness, wine and music?]; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire. They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels. Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom...For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I WILL DELIVER THEE INTO THE HAND OF THEM WHOM THOU HATEST, INTO THE HAND OF THEM FROM WHOM THY MIND IS ALIENATED: AND THEY SHALL DEAL WITH THEE HATEFULLY, AND SHALL TAKE AWAY ALL THY LABOUR, AND SHALL LEAVE THEE NAKED AND BARE: AND THE NAKEDNESS OF THY WHOREDOMS SHALL BE DISCOVERED, BOTH THY LEWDNESS AND THY WHOREDOMS. I WILL DO THESE THINGS UNTO THEE, BECAUSE THOU HAST GONE A WHORING AFTER THE HEATHEN, AND BECAUSE THOU ART POLLUTED WITH THEIR IDOLS." [635]
���� God has told us who these are whom He will deliver us up to: "Behold, therefore I WILL DELIVER THEE TO THE MEN OF THE EAST [God is telling us He will deliver us for a time to the Jews ‑‑ they are the men from the east because the Jews who presently rule over us are Khazar Jews ‑‑ MEN FROM THE EAST!] for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk."

[118] This must be, as a necessity, some country NOT IN EUROPE, Asia or Africa because the Israelites knew about all those places and had trade routes to and from those countries. Joachim Prinz in his "Popes From the Ghetto" says, 'We read in the report of Ibn Kordadbeh, a postmaster of the Persian Empire in the ninth century the role of the famous Jewish merchants called Rhadanites headed a far flung business in the Mediterranean trade of the time. These merchants speak Arabic, Persian, Roman, Greek and Latin, Frankish, Spanish and Slavonic. They travel from east to west, and from west to east, by land as well as by sea. They bring from the west eunches, slave girls, boys, brocade, beaver skins, marten furs and other varieties of fur. They embark in the land of the Franks on the Western Sea, and they sail toward Al‑Fraya in Egypt. There they load their merchandise on the backs of camels and proceed by land to Al Qulzum, Suez twenty five prangs distant. They embark on the Eastern Sea and proceed from Al Qulzum to Al Jar, part of Medina, then they go to Hind ‑ India ‑ and Sinim ‑ China. On their return they load musk, aloe wood, camphor, cinnamon and other products of the eastern countries...Sometimes they take the route back of Rome and crossing the country of the Slavs, proceed to the Lower Volga, the capital of the 'KHAZARS.'" p. 32‑33, Prinz gives his authority as‑from Robert Lopez and Irving W. Raymond.' Medieval Trade in the Mediterranean World, p. 31.

[178] Two thousand years before the event; God told the world that Spain would be given credit for the discovery of the land of regathered Israel!
[179] In 1780, Ezra Stiles, who later became the president of Yale College, found and recorded a Tartessian inscription on a rock along the seashore near Mount Hope Bay, Rhode Island. The deeply cut inscription clearly shows the outline of a typical high-sterned ship from Tarshish. Under the outline of the ship were the words in Tartessian (Tarshish) Punic, "Mariners of Tarshish this rock proclaims." Near Union, New Hampshire, another Tartessian inscription was found with a similar Tarshish ship hull and the words, "Voyagers from Tarshish this stone proclaims."
���� On Mohegan Island, off the coast of Maine, is, in Ogam script in Gaelic dialect, an inscription showing that Celts traded with the traders from Tarshish. It is obvious that the mariners from Tarshish were not residents of the area as were the Celts. They were trading with the Celts for their furs and raw materials from the mining done by the Celts. Thus, there was a lively trade being conducted between the Japhetic sons of Tarshis (Genesis 10:4) and the Celtic sons of Shem.
���� Some of the trading was done with goods in exchange for coins. It seems that modern historians won't believe the facts of history such as the Ogam inscriptions. They only like to see the money!
[180] That this was true of America is forever recorded in the annals of history in what is known as the "Mayflower Compact" which states, in part: 'In the name of God, Amen. We whose names are underwritten...Having undertaken, for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian Faith...plant the first colony in the Northern parts of Virginia, do by these presents solemnly and mutually in the presence of God and on of another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic, for our better ordering and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid, and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute and frame such just and equal laws ‑‑ This concept of equality can be traced directly back to the ancient Hebrew tradition of all men being equal in the sight of God ‑‑ ordinances, acts, constitutions and offices from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the colony. Unto which we promise all due submission and obedience.'
