����������������������������������������������������������������������������� Chapter Seven
��������������������������������������������������������������������������� In Conclusion
First, we will present you with a summary from the time of the Reformation through Modern Times. Things didn't used to be the way they are today. Many years ago, decades ago, centuries ago there was an altogether different mood, a different pace of life, a different direction to life. there was a continuity of the past, present and future, and a continuity of the different social strata and functions. People lived by a different set of values, and thought in different patterns.
Something happened to change all that; to transform life into what it is today. slowly, without fanfare or reverberation, a world of change moved in among us. Life, which had hardly changed in millennia, was swept away into a vertigo. What happened? Where were we then, and where are we now?
The changes happened so very slowly that almost no one noticed. Only those chosen by Almighty God were allowed to see the change, and they tried to warn their White Israel brothers and sisters but they would not listen, and still will not listen, for the most part. It has been said that if one will throw a frog into a pot of boiling water, he will immediately jump out and away from it; but if you put the frog into a pot of cool water and slowly turn the heat up, eventually the frog is cooked to death and he never knew what happened! This is what has happened to our Israel brothers and sisters.
The Bible uses the allegory of a "Beast" to describe the combine of power that rules the nations of the world today. The Beast rises up out of the sea [1]. We are the sea - People. Whatever happened, happened to us; and we cannot think of a better allegory. This Beast has ruined life for most of the people on the planet. Its relationship to us is that of predator to prey; parasite to host. It approaches us with irresistible violence and leaves us bleeding. Therefore, we must speak about the so-called "Mark of the Beast," here, and set this to rest, because it is sure to come to your mind as you read this book.
Mark of The Beast: This study, and a few of the following ones, are going to be longer than most people would like, but the time is short and we must present you with as much information as possible; as fast as possible so that you will be prepared when the antichrists make their move to take over our beloved country.
From watching and listening to some of the Judeo‑Christian preachers, ministers, priests and etc., talk about the "Mark of The Beast," we have come to the conclusion that they are lying deliberately to deceive the people who listen to or watch them. So we are going to try to the very best of our ability to show you that there are two beasts in Revelation 13. We are going to try and cover that in depth and understand exactly what this mark consists of.
First let's ask our Father for a word of Wisdom. "Heavenly Father, we thank you for this time that we can come together and study your Word, that precious living letter that you have given unto us; the very history of our race which many are trying to change so as to hide it from your Israel people; so that we will not know that you have given unto us this wonderful book whereby we can both know you and understand your plan from the beginning. Father we turn this time over to you. We ask that you anoint our minds. Give us wisdom to understand the deep things, those mysteries that have been kept hidden, even from the beginning of this earth age. Father, we give you the praise and the honor and glory and thanksgiving in the name of Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah, the Lamb of God. Amen."
Now understand this one thing, we were created in God's image as it declares even from the beginning in Genesis. We are natural, our Father is Supernatural. Supernatural means he is more natural than we are, Okay. Understand that God does not deal in fairy tales, comic book stories, or multi‑headed monsters right out of the twilight zone, but rather He deals in things that, with a little study, those that would discipline themselves (which is where we get the word disciple), will understand what God has brought forth. Keep in mind that most of your pastors, ministers/teachers and so forth would tell you: "Ah, don't worry about understanding the book of Revelation. I mean, you're going to fly out of here from chapter 4 on, and you don't re‑appear until Revelations 19."
But understand, God did not give us this book to glaze over, to simply shine on. The very word itself, revelation, means to� reveal or unveil, to uncover. Our Father means for us to know what the end time events are, what transpires, and what to watch for. We should learn those signs and be sealed with those seals spoken of in Matthew 24 and Mark 13. It is our goal to bring forth with understanding from God's word, line upon line, what he means for us to know about these end times and this study relative to the Mark of the Beast!
Revelation chapter 13, begins with verse one. "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy." [2]
Now this "I stood," that is John, this revelation is being given to John. I, John, stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns. This is not some multi‑headed monster as they would like to teach you, but rather indicative of one worldism.
Remember, the number seven represents spiritual completeness, meaning all encompassing, around the world. The seven heads are seven continents if you will. This beast also has ten horns, horns are always indicative of rulers.
So what you have here are seven continents ten horns, ten rulers, and upon his horns ten crowns. In other words, crowns being indicative of rulership, authority, and upon these heads the name of blasphemy. We need to understand there are two beasts in Revelation 13, and by the way, remember the number 13 is the number of rebellion. Rebellion, understand!
1). So what do we have here?
We have seven continents.
2). What are we talking about?
We are talking about that first beast of Revelation 13 Which is a Political System!
Again, the seven heads are those continents around the world. The ten horns are ten rulers, ten people who come together in rulership, for they are given ten crowns, a crown a piece.
3). What is this sea that John sees the beast rise out of?
The seas are the people.
Seas or waters are indicative of people. We are not talking about H2O here, but people. How do we know this? Let's document it. Turn to Revelation chapter 17, where it says: "And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me (John), saying unto me, 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." [3] In other words, what happens when you get drunk? You're thrown into a stupor. Make a note of Romans chapter 11, the word slumber: "(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day." [4]
God Himself saying He brought a slumber upon them, but in the Greek if you will go back in your Strong's Concordance and your King James Bible and check out that word slumber, you will find it better translated as stupor.
slumber...
Greek #2659: from Greek 2660 (katanusso); katanuxis. kat-an'-oox-is. a prickling (sensation, as of the limbs asleep), i.e., (by implication [perhaps by some confusion with Greek 3506 (neuo) or even with Greek 3571 (nux)]} STUPOR (LETHARGY) slumber.
It is that same intoxication that is brought upon the waters. Now let's find out what these waters are. Go a little further in Revelation 17: "And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues." [5]
The waters are the peoples of this world. Now do you understand that we're not talking about H2O. Revelation 17:15: these waters or the sea are indicative of people. Alright, let's go back to Revelation 13. "And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power and his seat, and great authority." [6]
We know who the bear is, that's good old Russia, Rosh. And the dragon gave him power, that's that same old dragon of Revelation 20:1-2. That old serpent, the dragon, Satan. Understand we are not talking about a flesh and blood man possessed by Satan, we are talking about the old dragon himself, he gave him his power. Who did he give his power to? The seven heads and ten horns. Keep your subject and your object straight in the Greek and understand. Alright, and his seat, and great authority.
In other words, God allows this. The feet of the bear means to travel, to carry this, put it forth. Also, while we are here, let's touch on as much as we can. Make a note of Daniel 7:1-7 in connection with this Revelation 13:2. You will see this same leopard, bear, lion, and dragon involved here. "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast." [7]
One of his heads, that is of this first beast, the one with seven heads, ten horns. I saw one of his heads as if it were wounded it death. That's one of the seven continents. Keep in mind that the number seven is spiritual completeness. That means it's around the world, one-worldism, or a one world government system. That is what is being talked about here. So understand that this one worldism, this one world government system, suffers what is called a deadly wound.
Let's go on with this verse: And his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. Not some of the world, ALL of the world. In other words, this has sucked in or brought in all nations, honoring this one world system. Again, as we are going to find in other� Scriptures, they are going to cry "peace, peace" when there is no peace. Even to the fact that they teach us from the pulpit. God never said that He was going to bring peace to the world in the end times, but rather a sword [8].
It's time to start understanding what God's Word has been declaring all along rather than the traditions of men. Remember, Christ said "just when they cry peace, peace, then sudden destruction commeth upon them." You see, there is no peace, it is false. Because the whole world yearns and� craves for this peace, that is going to be the method by which the one worldism sells its philosophy to the world.
Christians to boot, for almost all Christians., except those who know and understand that have eyes to see and ears to hear who know that there will be no peace until Jesus Christ the Messiah, the King of kings is actually present on earth, there will be no peace. There will be a false peace brought in by Satan and this one world government system. "And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?" [9]
And they (who?) the world as well as this one world system, worshipped the dragon. Who is this dragon? He is that serpent, the devil, Satan: "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years." [10]
This dragon is not a flesh and blood� man, therefore antichrist is not a flesh and blood man. It is Satan, the son of perdition. Perdition, from the Greek word Apollumi, meaning to be utterly destroyed.
perdition...
Greek #684: apoleia, ap-o'-li-a; from a presumed der. of 622 (apollumi); ruin or loss (phys., spiritual or eternal):-damnable (-nation), DESTRUCTION, die, perdition, X perish, pernicious ways, waste.
There is only one that has been sentenced to death, to be consumed or turned to ashes from within which is what the Hebrew says, speaking of Lucifer in Ezekiel chapter 28. "Thou has defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more." [11]
A description of that time when God has Satan cast into the lake of fire and how he will be destroyed. He will be turned into ashes from within. Only one has been sentenced so far and that is Satan. It is time to come out of Babylon, to come out of confusion and find out what the Spirit says according to God's living Word. "And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?" [12]
They worship the dragon which gave power unto the beast. What beast? That Political System. What is this telling us? Who gives the actual power or the ability to go forth in the world as a reckoning power to the beast? Satan is the one who brings one worldism into being, all in the name of peace, not war. And they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? Who is like that seven headed, ten horned political system, that multi-headed system or organization. Who is able to make war with him?
If� you remember, not very long ago Saddam Hussein found out, even though it was touted he had the fourth largest army in the world, he was not able to make war with the beast. Does that give you any idea who the beast is? Put on your thinking caps, let's reason together. God is making the signs plain if you just have "eyes to see and ears to hear" and will stop listening to the traditions of men that will tell you to watch out for the European Economic Market.
The European Economic Market couldn't wage war with anybody. Nor will they ever. Oh, they may be a reckoning force in the world economy scene relative to Europe, but that is not the seven headed ten horned organization spoken of in Revelation 13.
There is only one that fits the description of that beast, that political system, and with just a little bit of thinking you can figure it out. And its not the United States. "And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months." [13]
Months and nights always refer to Satan and his working, the negative part of God's plan. Days and years are always indicative of God and His working, the positive part of His plan. Alright, forty and two months, that is three and a half years. This is speaking of specifically the back half of Daniel's 70th week. That time has been shortened to five months, the time of the locust. This is documented in Revelation chapter 9. "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; and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man." [14] They were given power to torment five months, the time of the locust. The same locust spoken of by Joel the prophet.
You can read the book of Joel, and it will fit right in with chapter 9 of the book of Revelation as well as in Revelation 17. So hear and understand what the Spirit is saying through this Living Word. Come out of that confusion, come out of Babylon. "And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven." [15]
In other words, the true many membered body of Christ, all inclusive. Why? Because it declares in Matthew 24 and Mark 13 that the "abomination of the desolation," properly translated from the Hebrew in Daniel 9:27, it says he comes in on the wings of the desolator. Singular, masculine entity and not a situation or condition, but rather an individual and it is said that old dragon, Satan, antichrist from the Greek meaning instead of Christ, he stands in the temple declaring himself to be God. Naturally, blaspheming the true things of God and His tabernacle and them that dwell in heaven, the saints. Verse 7 of Revelation 13: "And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindred, and tongues, and nations." [16]
Who are the saints? They are the set aside ones; those that God has set aside, that seed. Make a note of Psalm 22:30: "A seed shall serve Him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation." [17]
He has reserved a seed for that end generation, the generation since the planting of the two fig trees in Jerusalem. That happened May 15, 1948 when Israel became a nation. There were two fig trees planted.
If you aren't familiar with that we will try to present it some time in the future. Again, it is one of those seals you must be sealed with in your mind, if you are to stand in these end days. For you will either be sealed with the seals of God [18] or you will be sealed with the mark of the beast [19]. You see, it isn't this ludicrous, stupid notion of a tattoo on the back of the hand, or a stamp on your forehead read with ultraviolet light or something put under your skin. Satan is not that stupid. The "mark" is something totally different as we will get to. This mark is in your forehead, your mind: use it!
Hear and understand what the Spirit says and come out of the traditions of men for they will confuse you and lead you ever further into Babylon, into captivity, mystery Babylon, mother of harlots. Have you not read?
Well who is that? It is the deceived church, it is deceived Christianity, called Judeo-Christianity today, who has been more than happy to listen to the traditions of men and to be deceived than to come out of that and find out what God has to say. Don't take for gospel the words of this man or any other man. Weigh all things according to the Word of God and not according to what men tell you, or you will not stand in these end-times. One more comment on Revelation 13:7: It was given unto him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. That means they should be delivered up. Make a not of Luke 21. "And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death." [20]
When you are delivered up unto "death." Who is death? Satan, [21]; he is the only one that has been sentenced to die, sentenced to perish.
perish...
Greek #622: apollumi, ap-ol'-loo'mee; from Grk 575 and the base of Greek 3639; to destroy fully (reflex. to perish, or lose), lit. or fig.-destroy, die, lose, mar, perish.
When he stands in that temple declaring himself to be God, if you are one of those elect, then at that time you will be delivered up. Why? To bear a testimony or witness against them. That is when the Holy Spirit will speak through you.
Satan is already standing in most of the pulpits of America, in the person of the Judeo-Christian preachers, ministers, priests, pastors and etc. "But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost." [22]
Satan can not harm a hair on your head. In Revelation 9 God says only those who don't have the seal of God in their forehead will be harmed, "tormented." "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." [23]
Also, see 1 Chronicles 16: "Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations; Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm." [24]
Power was given over all kindred and tongues and nations. Again that's one-worldism having drawn in all peoples and nations into this common one-world government system. Put on your thinking cap, realize there is only one organization today that is capable of this.
Realize that it began about the same time the two figs were planted in Jerusalem. You also want to know that this is the system of deception that Satan brings upon the world through this one world political system and through the church.
For what purpose? To deceive people into believing that they are serving God, that they are serving Christ when in fact they are serving antichrist, the one that is first to come. They teach you falsely that you are going to "fly" away. Nobody gets a free ride into the first resurrection. You earn it. Faith without works is dead. No one flies out of here or escapes. Make a note of Ezekiel chapter 13. God says I hate those who teach my children to fly to save their souls. "Have ye (Judeo-Christian preachers, ministers, etc.) not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye (Judeo-Christian ministers, etc.) say, the Lord saith it; albeit I have not spoken?...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...Because with lies ye 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 by promising him life." [25]

Now lets continue on with verse 8 of Revelation 13: "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." [26] The old dragon is the one, who is the "him" they will worship, in the guise of a false Christ, which is being presented from most of the pulpits of America today; those whose names are not written in the book of life. What is it that is translated as foundation? From the Greek it is not a foundation as something that is built upon, but rather a destruction or overthrow from the Greek word kataballo.
foundation...
Greek #2598: kataballo, kat-ab-al'-lo; from Greek 2596 and Greek 9906; TO THROWDOWN:-CAST DOWN, lay.
Greek #2596: kata, kat-ah'; a prim. particle; (prep.) down (in place or time), in varied relations (according to the case [gen., dat., or acc.,] with which it is joined):-about, according as (to), after, against, (when they were) X alone, among, and, X apart, (even, like) as (concerning, pertaining to, touching), X aside, at before, beyond, by, to the charge of [charity] bly, concerning, + covered, [dai-] ly, from...to, godly, in (-asmuch, divers, every, -to, respect of) measure, X mightily, more, X natural, of (up-) on (X part), out (of every), over against (+ your) X own, + particularly, so, through (-oughout, -oughout every), thus, (un-) to (-gather, -ward), X uttermost, where (-by), with, in composition it retains many of these applications, and frequently denotes opposition, distribution or intensity.
Greek #906: ballo, bal'-lo; a prim. verb; to throw (in various applications, more or less violent or intense):-arise, cast (out), X dung, lay, lie, pour, put (up), send, strike, throw (down), thrust. Comp. Greek 4498. Properly translated, this word means casting down or overthrow. Satan was sentenced to being erased from the book of life as a result of his activities that led to the overthrow of the first earth age.
�Looking back to that first earth age. What old dragon was in the first arth age, the one before this one. His method of operation to deceive God's children was the same in the first earth age as it is here in this second earth age. "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars." [27]
Note that this wonder is "in heaven," not on earth. Those 12 stars are the twelve tribes of Israel. It is also indicative of the 12 signs of the zodiac of the constellations. From the beginning, you have Virgo the virgin, the one who brings forth the birthing of people.
In one day, Moses's mother birthed a million through one birth. Hear and understand what is being talked about here. You have those 12 tribes of Israel through whom the Messiah, Jesus, would come. This is also an indication of the virgin Mary bringing forth the Christ child, the one who would redeem man through the shedding of His Blood. "And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born." [28]
Seven heads and ten horns, Satan was in the first earth age using the same seven headed, ten horned organization in heaven that he is using now on earth in this earth age, the second earth age. According to Ecclesiastes chapter 1, there is nothing new under the sun. What has gone around for man in heaven will go around again here on earth. "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun." [29]
Satan is a great imitator of God. He uses God's number 7 which means spiritual completeness to deceive the people of the earth. "If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints." [30]
Again, the sword of the Lord [31] is His truth: that two edged sword. "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." [32]; "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." [33]
Back to Revelation 13. "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon." [34]
He Looked like a lamb. Why? He is imitating Christ because he is antichrist, meaning instead of Christ from the Greek. He is Satan, that old dragon, the serpent, the devil. Satan is one of the most beautiful creatures that God ever created. As it is written in Ezekiel 28, he was the finished pattern and full sum, and perfect in beauty. "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 sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty." [35]
He will come in apparent peace and prosperity as it is written in Daniel 8:25, saying: "Come unto me, I love you. Bring your children unto me that I might save them and take them home."
Is this not what the Judeo-Christian churches do today, come down to the altar and accept Christ and you will be saved! They teach that is all that must be done. However, the Scriptures teach a different story. For even the devils believe in Christ and confess that He is Christ, but they are not saved because of that.
No if a person who supposedly accepts Christ does not do any works to prove that he/she is truly Repentant and is working for God Almighty is not saved, even though they might think so. Because they have listened to liars teaching false doctrines). Do you not see how he used this same method in the first earth age? Remember that Satan is the first supernatural entity that will come to the earth claiming to be Christ. If you believe him, you will not be fit for the kingdom. Why? You will no longer be a "chaste virgin." [36] "Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealously: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtility, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ." [37]
This word beguiled is number 1818 in the Greek.
beguiled...
Greek #1818: exapatao, ex-ap-at-ah'-o; from Greek 1537 and Greek 538; TO SEDUCE WHOLLY:-beguile, deceive.
Greek #1537: ek, ek; or ex, ex; a prim. prep. denoting origin (the point whence motion or action proceeds), from, out (of place, time or cause; lit. or fig.; direct or remote):-after, among, X are, at, betwixt (-yond), by (the means of), exceedingly, (+ abundantly above), for (-th), from (among, forth, up), + grudgingly, + heartily, X heavenly, X hereby, + very highly, in...ly, (because, by reason) of, off (from), on, out among (from, of), over, since, X thenceforth, through, X unto, X vehemently, with (-out). Often used in composition, with the same general import; often of completion.
Greek #538: apatao, ap-at-ah'-o; of uncert. der.; to cheat, i.e., delude:-deceive.
This wholly seduced includes spiritual seduction with is the "fornication" referred to in Revelation. [38] "And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed." [39]
The beast that was healed is The One World Political System. The deadly wound is the fourth trump. The fifth trump is when Satan presents, himself having been cast out of heaven to the earth by Michael and the angels. [40] "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men." [41] He shows supernatural acts in order to deceive people into believing he is Jesus, or he will do so with advanced technology and make it appear to be supernatural. "And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live." [42]
The second beast tells them to make an image (statue, profile, representation, or resemblance) of his one world political system. Already in the news, almost daily you see this image being thrown before you.� There is only one multi-headed organization that no one, when it wants to exercise its power, can make war with it. Who do you suppose that is? Figure it out: There is only one: The United Nations. "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed." [43]
The deception that the political beast will use is one of WORDS. To be killed here is to be delivered up to death, Satan himself. God says touch not my anointed. He also says not a hair of your head will be harmed. You will be delivered up to death, to councils and synagogues for a testimony (to bear witness). ����������� You will bear witness to the truth. Those of you who know you have a destiny, who have known for a long time that there is more to God's word than you have been taught by the Judeo-Christian preachers who have sold out to Judaism and Zionism.
Those of you who love God's word and are willing to study and ferret out the truth, you will be delivered up. Take no thought or premeditation regarding what you will say in that day for God will speak through you. That is the true "tongues" spoken of that will be spoken where every ear will hear in its own dialect, its own language, clearly and distinctly with understanding. This happens when you are delivered up to bear witness. "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads." [44]
Nobody is going to put a stamp on your forehead or on your right hand. What do you do with your right hand? You serve or work for. That is why Jesus said woe unto them who give suck in those days. And what is in your forehead?
Your mind, use it! This mark is referring to the deception of your mind, deception assisted by traditions of men, for most have loved teachers rather than the word of God. "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears." [45]
This is listening to those who would tell you what you want to hear, rather than teach the Word of God. For example, "flying" away to escape all the trouble when the Word says that "he that endures unto the end shall be saved." Jesus Himself even prayed that we not be taken out of the world, but rather preserved in the world. "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." [46]; "I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that� thou shouldest keep them from the evil." [47]
Okay, this "mark" isn't going to be bar codes or any other obvious mark. Satan is very crafty and would not try to deceive us with something so blatant. How crafty is he? "Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" [48]
He is more wise and crafty than any other beast of the world. It is through lies that he will deceive the people. We are searching for wisdom. Where is the one place that wisdom comes from? "For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding." [49]; "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." [50]
Many people ignorantly believe that just because it say, "of a man," that this means some flesh and blood man. They lose sight of what the� rest of the words say. it is that old dragon. He comes in like a lamb, and speaks like a dragon. It is also written in Isaiah 14:16, dealing with Lucifer, Satan, the old dragon: "is this the MAN that made the earth to tremble..."
Again, Satan is not of flesh and blood, yet is called a man. Six hundred three score and six, six being the number of man. Man always falls short of the spiritual perfection, which is seven. The best Satan can do is imitation. Okay, let's take a look at the word count from "count the number of the beast."
count...
Greek #5585: psephizo, psay-fid'-zo; from Greek 5586; TO USE PEBBLES IN ENUMERATION, i.e. (gen.) to compute:-count.
Greek #5586: psephos, psay'-fos; from the same as Greek 5584; A PEBBLE (AS WORN SMOOTH BY HANDLING), i.e. by impl. of use as a counter or ballot) a verdict (of acquittal) or ticket (of admission); a vote:-stone, voice.
This "count" means to enumerate stone worn smooth in service over a long period of time. What are these stones? They are children, and count them all the way back to where? All the way back to the garden, all the way back to Cain and the other seed line planted in the garden, back to that mark that was put upon Cain in Genesis 4:15. Even those familiar with the Strong's Concordance are likely to have trouble finding six hundred three score and six. It is called "Stigma" from an obsolete Greek letter that is not used in modern Greek.
Greek #5516: chi xi STIGMA. khee xee stig'-ma; the twenty-second, fourteenth and an obsol. letter (Greek 4742 as a cross of the Greek alphabet (intermediate between the fifth and sixth), used as numbers; denoting respectively six hundred, sixty and six; six hundred sixty-six as a numeral:-six hundred threescore and six.
Greek #4742: stigma, stig'-mah; from a prim. stizo (to "stick," i.e. prick); a mark incised or punched (for recognition of OWNERSHIP), i.e. (fig.) scar of SERVICE:-mark.
Quite simply it means a mark that looks like a cross. Hear and understand that the mystery Babylon, mother of harlots, is the greater population of Christianity today. They have been deceived. The Kenites (or Pharisees - sons of Cain) have worked their way into Christianity and mis-translated God's Word and mistaught it from the seminaries right on through. It is the time of the calling out of God's children from Revelations chapter 7. Do not be deceived by this mark.
Let's go to Ezekiel for more documentation. "Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered mortar." [51]
They coated the wall with untempered mortar or� white-wash. Those who claim to be men of God build up a weak wall and paint it with white-wash. They deceive God's children. Not only do they prevent themselves from entering the kingdom, they also would prevent God's children from entering in. "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchers, which indeed� appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness." [52]
Hear and understand the picture that God is trying to bring forth to your understanding. It is time to come out of Babylon. "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." [53]
How plain does God have to make it? They all cry peace, peace when there is no peace. This peace is the false peace of the one-world government system. Even our most illustrious leader of this great nation himself, pushing as strongly as possible for a one world system where by peace can supposedly be brought into the world. God says there is no peace! "But the Lord is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation." [54]
Why? It is because they have whored after antichrist believing him to be Jesus. They have been taught by Judeo-Christian ministers, preachers and etc., that he is the first one to show up, their bride groom. They, like that old Jezebel, will jump into that sack and whore after him, thinking he is Christ. "And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him." [55]; "Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens. He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures." [56]
This wind is Hebrew #7307:
wind...
Hebrew #7307: ruwach, roo'-akh; from Heb. 7306; wind; by resemblance breath, i.e., a sensible (or even violent) exhalation; fig. life, anger, unsubstantiality; by extens. a region of the sky; by resemblance spirit, but only of a rational being includ. Its expression and functions):-air, anger, blast, breath, X cool, courage, mind, X quarter, X side, spirit ([-ual]), tempest, X vain, ([whiirl-]) wind (-y).
Hebrew #7306: ruwach, roo'-akh; a prim. root; prop. to blow, i.e. breathe; only (lit.) to smell or (by 'impl. perceive (fig. to anticipate, enjoy)):-accept, smell, X touch, make of quick understanding.
"Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confronted by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them." [57]
Brutish is Hebrew #1197:
brutish...
Hebrew #1197: ba'ar, baw-ar'; a prim. root; to kindle, i.e., consume (by fire or by eating); also (as denom. from Heb. 1198) to be (-come) brutish:-be brutish, bring (put, take) away, burn, (cause to) eat (up), feed, heat, kindle, set ([on fire]), waste.
Hebrew #1198: ba'ar, bah'-ar; from Heb. 1197; prop. food (as consumed): i.e. (by exten.) of cattle brutishness; (concr.) stupid:-brutish (person), foolish.
Every man is stupid in his knowledge. Every person who casts a graven image is confused by it because it is a falsehood. There is no life in them. The word breath is ruach, spirit, Hebrew 7307. "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape." [58] We are close to the birthing of a new "age." This age, and the sixth day, is almost over. Just like as described in Matthew 24 and Mark 13. Read them.
As labor pains grow closer and closer together, so do the signs of the approaching tribulation. When antichrist arrives, the world, the Christian world, is going to buy it hook, line, and sinker because the false men of God today teach God's children to pray for peace. The true prince of peace will come after that. Those who are deceived will not be "fit" to enter the kingdom. Don't be one of those. "But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation." [59]
This false peace comes in the midst of Daniel's 70th week. "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week; and in the mdist 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." [60]
The true sacrifice is the true Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, and none other. Here is more from the book of Daniel dealing with Satan, many believe to be the antichrist. "And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people (is this not what the Judeo-Christian preachers doing?). And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand." [61]
Remember, he (Satan) will come bringing peace and prosperity, not warfare. Put on the Gospel armor of Ephesians 6. "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 wickeness in high places." [62]
Don't be one of the five virgins that run out of the oil, which is the Word of God. Have enough oil in your lamp that you can continue to shine forth and hear, with understanding, God's Word and not the "traditions of men."
Satan will destroy wonderfully, with loving, prosperous works rather than with a pitch fork and red underwear. He will cause craft to prosper and false peace. The Beast System regards us as chattel and disposes of us as it pleases (witness Waco, Texas and Ruby Creek, Idaho). From cradle to grave our lives are degraded, trivialized, brutalized, perverted and inverted. Our lives begin nowhere and go nowhere. We're not even allowed our own thoughts, the ultimate insult.
For the past couple of decades we have been trying, to understand this monster, knowing that understanding this monster, knowing that understanding is the beginning of escape. Like someone who can barely see, trying to form some idea of the contours of a very irregular, deceptively shaped object, we have tried to move around it to find the most revealing perspectives.
We thought there must be some way of seeing it that it goes deeper to the essence of what has happened than the fact that we've lost our will, lost our way, lost our morals; that there is a conspiracy of this or that; that there are traitors among us. etc. All of these things are true, but this Beast's power is derived from sources more imperative than tentative, more immediate than delayed, more direct than indirect.
Many have been repulsed by the way the world does business. The business world is an arena where gladiators fight to determine who wins and who loses. A few false moves and it's quickly over. It is a world where the veneer of civilization that men normally wear is dropped. Only the strong survive. Every man for himself. It is so contrary to our nature that we put off for decades a study of it. But when, at last, we did look into the matter, we were rewarded with an unexpected aid to perception.
What men do is always preceded by what they think. Any change in their actions is built upon the underlying structure of their patters of thought. This transformation takes many years to effect, and ebbs and flows many times before its surreptitious work is complete. Christian Europe, during the medieval period through the fourteenth century, was a static, "traditionalist" society, also referred to as "natural" society. Richard Henry Tawney describes this world in a work titled, "Religion and the Rise of Capitalism" (1926).
Tawney is a true intellectual with dazzling powers of perception and expression. Describing life approximately five hundred years ago, he wrote: "The background...of medieval social theory...is the traditional stratification of rural society. It is a natural, rather than a money, economy, consisting of the petty dealings of peasants and craftsmen in the small market town, where industry is carried on for the subsistence of the household and the consumption of wealth followed hard on the production of it, and where commerce and finance are the occasional incident, rather than the forces which keep the whole system in motion, Its primary unit had been the village; and the village, a community of agrarian shareholders fortified by custom..." [63]
Medieval Christian Europe was a reasonably close approximation to an ecclesia, the social form given to us by our Father and reiterated by His son, Christ. They lived under a body of law similar to the Law of the Bible. There was freedom, very little government, most men were freeholders of the land they worked, living a simple peaceful life, subordinating their interests to that of the community.
In this essay, the period known as the Reformation is focused upon as a convenient point of origin for developments that have carried through tot he present day, although their true origins are much more difficult to accurately define. The Reformation is widely understood as a period of protest and, at least, attempted reform within the hierarchy of the established Church which had become everything it shouldn't have been. But the Reformation period, the sixteenth century, must be understood as a period within a larger period known as the Renaissance. Most of the social, political and religious phenomena of the Reformation were features of the encompassing Renaissance, which is generally perceived as having lasted from the fourteen through the seventeenth centuries, depending on what part of Christian Europe is being discussed.
The Renaissance was the transition period between the Middle Ages and the Modern Era. Some of the major elements of this transition were the beginning of the commercial revolution, the invention of printing, the formative stages of the modern Nation States, great advances in science and a general flourishing of the arts.
But, concerning the evolution of men's thinking, developments along this line are paramount. During the Renaissance, Christian Europe made contact with the outside world. This contact put them in touch with the accumulated wisdom and knowledge of more mature civilizations, primarily the largely extinct civilizations of Greece and Persia. Christian Europe had, for centuries, been a Christian civilization, introspective, self-satisfied, self-restrained.
It was an immature civilization for most of that time, as the world thinks of civilization. Intellectually and morally, immature civilizations are healthier than mature ones. The contact between Christian Europe and the classical and Eastern civilizations at this time was an experience with the exotic, for Christian Europeans. There was a fascination with, and a hunger for, novelty.
But extinct civilizations are extinct because of their DNA, the ideas and law they lived by. The unremarkable ideas of their youth are not what is remembered and passed on, but the more glamorous ideas associated with their maturity, senility and death. It was these perilous ideas with which Christian Europe now came in contact. A healthy young man was naively introducing himself to a dissolute wastrel.
What had made the Renaissance possible was the extended period of peace and stability that led up to it. More than any other factor, it was the LAW (God's Law) that Christian Europe had lived by for a thousand years that produced the Renaissance.
No other law can match Christian Law for its understanding of human nature and human nature's correlate, the nature of government. The Law is very careful to reign in the ego, that ravager of civilizations.
It was precisely the opposite sentiment that eager, gullible Christian Europe now encountered from its classical and Persian contacts. One of the salient features of Renaissance philosophy was the release of the ego from all bonds. Humanism enshrined "individualism." It was the spirit of mature civilizations and it was to have the same effect in Christian Europe that it had in Rome, Greece and Persia.
Civilization is a fragile thing, dependent on many tenuous connections with the natural order. The violations of that natural order automatically produce the punishment, which may not be dramatic or immediate, but it is inevitable. It is ironic that the Renaissance, the zenith of Christian European history, unquestionably the brightest flash of light Western Civilization has experienced, was the result of the first drafts of poison into its soul. This is a delicate subject, arguments over which could be interminable. Another side of it is: "When mankind is faced with a choice between exhilarating activities and piety imprisoned in a shriveled mass of desiccated formulae, it will choose the former, though the energy be brutal and the intelligence narrow." [64]
Men have a tendency to remember only the hills of life and forget the valleys; to think of the good life as the more powerful moments, emotionally, psychologically, and physically. Seeking out such moments, habitually, in an individual's or a civilization's life is prescription for disaster. The Renaissance represents just such a phenomenon.
Seen in a metaphor, the Renaissance was an example of hybrid vigor: the first cross between two pure, but different strains, which so often produces exceptional offspring in the first mating. As with all examples of hybrid vigor, however, succeeding generations quickly lose the exceptional qualities.
Christian LAW cannot be successfully crossed with any other. Luther and Calvin, the two outstanding personalities of the Reformation, represented two different types. Martin Luther was a conservative, as were most of his contemporaries. To Luther, the most admirable life was that of the peasant. "Where questions of social morality were involved, men whose names were a symbol of revolution stood, with hardly and exception, on the ancient ways, appealed to the medieval authorities..." [65]
And most of society stood shoulder to shoulder with them. "Labor - the common lot of mankind - necessary and honorable; trade is necessary, but perilous to the soul; finance, if not immoral, is at best sordid and at worst disreputable." [66]
One can just imagine the pause such a statement would have on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange today. But this sentiment prevailed everywhere, during that period of time. Laws against usury, extortion and the many other types of thievery cloaked in subtlety, hard business practices and so on, were legislated and enforced by ecclesiastical as well as secular courts.
At the beginning of the sixteenth century, the Church was still the supreme power in Europe, not secular governments. Although corrupt and decadent in its hierarchy, the local church was the moral backbone of society. It was the center of village life. Business was carried on there, news filtered into the village from there, social life had its center of gravity there.
The Councils of Lyons (1274) and Vienna (1312) had represented the high point for the power of the ecclesiastical courts in Europe, and thus the openly acknowledged authority of the church. These councils practically outlawed usurers. Clergy who lent money at usury were to be deprived of their office. Usurers were not to be admitted to communion or given a Christian burial. Church officials who failed to punish them were to be suspended until they did. In Coventry, England, for example, usurers couldn't become mayor, Councilman or Master of the Gild.
Though none of these punishments can be found in the Scriptures, what is important is that there was a willingness to put teeth in the prohibitions against practices which were obviously harmful to society. It was understood that the health of the society was more important than the freedom of the individual.
Laws against usury and hard business practices were difficult to enforce because of the complexities of economic transactions. But the possibility of an occasional guilty party escaping justice is an acceptable, though undesirable, occurrence. The rule must be that unacceptable behavior is to be punished and there was unanimity of opinion on that. All through society there was the common denunciation of any immorality in the sphere of business. "The most fundamental difference between medieval and modern economic thought consists...in the fact that, whereas the latter normally refers to economic expediency...the former starts from the position that there is a moral authority to which considerations of economic expediency must be subordinated...But if on any point it is in conflict with the rule of nature, it at once ceases to be a law." [67]
Given the weakness of the phrase, "rule of nature," this statement still speaks well of the health of the society from which it came. This was a society, every element of which, at one time or another, had need of credit. In a natural society, credit must be given where it is needed, when it is needed, brother to brother, with the knowledge that he who gives today may need to receive tomorrow. There is no room for someone to make their living selling credit, with usury attached. The practice can only impoverish the greater society by siphoning off wealth that is not replaced. There is something unmistakably sinister about someone who would make a living from the misfortune of those they live among.
Usury is theft by agreement. The inducement to enter into the contract is misfortune or hardship of some kind. Usury always makes for its master much more than just an income. When usury is permitted in society, it is only a matter of time until the clever but unscrupulous few gather the reigns of power. The unbridled hunger for profit, squeezing every penny out of an investment, getting every cent possible for rent, was a spirit that was not only alien, but positively hostile to this society. To these people, it was more important "to avoid sin rather than loss."
Luther made no room in his world for a middle class. The middle class of his day, however, was different, qualitatively and quantitatively, from today's middle class. The middle class is, numerically, the largest class in the western-world. it is an old institution, composed of laborers and small businessmen of all kinds, and, generally, has little participation in governance. It is the host our parasitic government has fastened itself onto.
In Luther's day the middle class was an emerging group of disruptive elements who were actually attempting to fasten themselves onto the major class of their day, the commoners and peasants. They were carving out a social niche for themselves between the nobility and the commoners; hence, the name "middle class."

Man is an economic animal, simply by virtue of the time spent in providing food, clothing, shelter and other goods for himself. A great deal of even his social contact has an economic origin. Economic activity occupies too much time for it to be allowed to be separated from the rest of life as if it were a different world, to be governed by a different morality, a different law. In a sense, economics is the heart and soul of our physical existence. Only at our peril will we allow it to be annexed by an alien mentality, such as the new middle class represented in the sixteenth century, with its "economic virtues." Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened. Had Luther and his philosophy won the day, things would certainly have been much different. But most of the Protestant sects that appeared in the Reformation were descendants, not of Luther, but of John Calvin. Whereas Lutheranism was a conservative movement that had its roots in ecclesiastical law, the village and the old ways, Calvinism was a radical force, seeking to; "...reconstruct the Church and the State...pen-etrating every department of life..." [68]
In contrast to Luther, Calvin was the champion of the new middle class. Calvin was a lawyer, William Thomas Walsh, in his work on the period entitled, "Phillip II," traces Calvin's ancestry back to Jewish parentage, with the names Cauin and, originally, Cohen. Calvin's religious program was centered in the cities. The leaders of his movement, "...addressed their teaching...primarily to the classes engaged in trade and industry, who formed the most modern and progressive elements..." [69]
Luther's conservatism is embodied in the following statement, in regard to usury: "The greatest misfortune of the German nation is easily the traffic in interest...The devil invented it..."
Calvin, on the other hand, built a religious philosophy with moderate interest as one of its main planks. Although the Papacy and the ecclesiastical hierarchy had long been hypocritically trafficking in it, while preaching and legislating against it, Calvin now openly gave it a semi-official sanction. Calvin composed a work entitled the "Institutes," which was a comprehensive scheme of government, covering everything from civil administration to regulations pertaining to markets, crafts, control of prices and rents, interest, etc., all under the aegis of a religious philosophy.
To be fair to Calvin and his program, he was not a diabolical scheme with the sole intent of destroying Christ's Kingdom. There was much good about Calvinism. He imposed a discipline on the individual and society that exceeded in righteousness that of many of his contemporaries. It may have been a cold, aloof religiosity, but it was earnest, steadfast, and able to withstand trial and tribulation.
The problem with Calvinism was that it accepted the lower instincts of the business class of its day and instituted them into a program; which accepted many things that were violations of God's LAW, as legitimate manifestations of the individual will, in pursuit of personal profit. The word of the Law in regard to usuary, monopoly, Sabbath year and jubilee and many forms of theft was disregarded.
A follower of Calvin was a hard-working, tenacious laborer in the Lord's vineyard, but gone was the spirit to "avoid sin rather than loss." Usury could not be justified, as well as rack-renting (charging the highest rent the market would bear); prices could be asked, in good conscience, that formerly were condemned as immoral and manifestly ruinous. Calvin was a milestone in this recognizably modern thinking.
An important development at this time, as a matter of law and social policy, that was adversely affected by the liberalization of the restraints on the individual in the economic field, was what was called "enclosure."
All over Europe, but particularly in the British Isles, common lands were being confiscated and fenced off, to be turned into pasture for sheep or other purposes, in clear violation of the LAW that the land is to be divided among the people for everlasting inheritance. In England, wool was becoming a very important cash crop and the need for pasture lands was acute, for reasons of profit.
The common lands were those held by many thousands who had lived off this land for centuries. When the crown, aristocracy, landed proprietors or consortiums of monied interests began buying up and fencing them off, they, of course, never consulted the commoners about it and made little or no effort to care for the dislocated families, who quickly became burdens on society, gravitated to the towns and became revolutionary elements. Formerly, thee had been moral and practical restraints preventing landholders from this rapacious practice, but the new economics was changing that.
As with many matters, government provided the example for society and men took on the nature of their rulers. The government enclosed lands to generate revenue, so why couldn't private parties do the same? Attempts to legislate against enclosure were met with the argument, "...should a landlord be more squeamish than the crown?"
Desire for profit, accepted indiscriminately without argument today, was ruining the lives of many thousands of decent people during this period. The new "economic virtues" claimed, with anti-social logic, that; "...the individual is absolute master of his own, and, within the limits set by positive law, may exploit it with a single eye to his pecuniary advantage, unrestrained by any obligation to postpone his own profit to the well-being of his neighbors, or to give account of his actions to a higher authority." [70]
If the phrase, "within the limits set by positive law" was as meaningless then as it is now, one can imagine which ambiguous restraint was about as much appreciated then as the anemic one today's police have been placed under concerning their newly-won right to conduct searches without a warrant, as long as they feel it is "justified." The rampant ego embodied in this defiant statement pretty much says it all.
During the Reformation, (16th century) Church and State traded places. The Church, poor example as it was at the higher levels, had been the matrix in which society was embedded. One of the major developments of the Renaissance was the gradual victory of the secular power over the religious.
In the case of the Church hierarchy, this was a good thing, as the Church had become nothing more than an overbearing master, and was religious in name only (This was, partly, was because it had come under complete control of the Jews, who ruled it through the "Black Pope.").
Unfortunately the authority of the local churches was eclipsed, as well. In the seventeenth century it was to die out, for most practical purposes. By the eighteenth century the Church's business had been reduced to; "...the relief of the poor, the care of the sick and the establishment of schools...The very idea that the Church possessed an independent standard of values, to which institutions were amenable, had been abandoned." [71]
This reversal was directly attributable to the advance of the new morality, the wealth accruing to those who exercised it, and the political power that wealth was translated into. If the LAW had been obeyed, it would not have been possible.
As the Reformation traveled its course, Christendom was faced with what may someday be seen as its acid test. This was the difficulty of applying the sometimes unspecific raw material of Divine LAW to the exigencies of daily living, particularly in a period that was experiencing a tempest of change.
The confusion created by this burden of change - combined with the fact that nowhere, that we have been able to discover, was the Law really understood, let alone followed; made their task more formidable than it might have been.
One Catholic official, in argument with Luther, reasoned that, "...it is useless for the Church to prohibit extortion unless it is prepared to undertake the intellectual labor of defining the transactions to which the prohibition apples."
At first blush this may sound like a strong argument, and it must be admitted that there were, and always will be, cases where there is a very fine line. Extortion is merely thievery by indirect means, by inducements of all kinds.
If the desire is present to conceal the inducement, and the trick is cleverly executed, it can make for a difficult judgment against the accused.
But thievery is not difficult to identify. It is only necessary to ask the question, "Who gains and who loses?" If no one, then there is no crime. and individuals usually have the option of refraining from doing business with those who treat them dishonestly.
This argument is really a subterfuge. This Catholic official is seeking to justify practices that are patently contradictory to ecclesiastical, even moral, let alone scriptural Law. But he is seeking to justify them without doing so openly and specifically, by shifting the burden onto Luther, and, by extension, those attempting to prevent the spread of the social poison of the new "economic virtues." That burden is the difficulty mentioned above, of applying Divine LAW to the new conditions, made more difficult by the fact that nowhere in Christendom was it being done, nor had it been for many centuries. But extortion, usury and other violations of the Law aren't difficult to identify. In a natural economy there is very little problem. The problem begins when the argument has bypassed whether or not usury is acceptable and becomes an argument over whether five percent interest is usury or ten percent.
It begins when the argument by-passes whether or not it is acceptable to take land away from a man who is productively working it to support his family, and becomes an argument over whether or not a law has been passed making such a monstrous thing possible. It becomes acute when the chorus of voices is supporting the crime and the lone voice is calling for the execution of the Law. In the halls of power the lone voice was being drowned out.
Medieval thought, designed to protect the peasant and craftsman from the depredations of the money-lender and monopolist, had no adequate weapons to deal with the complexity of the problems it faced. Maybe they should have tried harder. Maybe they deserved to pay for the centuries of their sins of omission. Maybe it was inevitable, at any rate, by the end of the sixteenth century the perception was justified that, "...the Reformation (represented) the triumph of the commercial spirit over the traditional social ethics of Christendom." [72]
But they know not what they did. The Puritans, were the culmination of the social and religious system of Calvin. The leaven had done its work; the lump was at critical mass, there was no stopping the rebellion now. The next step would be in the sphere of politics where it lies today. The Puritans were an incongruous mixture of religious discipline and immoderate pursuit of wealth. Known today for their work ethic, the Puritan saw himself as a chosen instrument of God's will, working out God's plan for an errant world by their ceaseless activity.
Their religiosity was a cold, clinical whip they held over their own heads, driving them on, full force, into a life of acquisition. One can sense that the Puritan's imposition of this discipline on themselves was a sort of penitence for their unseemly business practices. The tendency to decorate a movement, which is perceived by society as immoral, with pseudo-religious trappings or an extraordinary mental discipline, such as martial arts clubs, assassins societies and mercenaries sometimes do, is not uncommon. Political parties and factions often have an identification with a particular religious or pseudo-religious practice, often unknown to the public, such as the last Romanov's association with Rasputin or the Reagan administration's preoccupation with astrology and strange theories of Biblical prophecy.
The Puritans were seen in such a light by most elements of society in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. In business they were energetic, resourceful and ambitious, proud of their natural abilities. They looked down on others as lesser creatures, everyone else was "the poor." They were "spiritual aristocrats," conquering all competitors, exploiting markets, seizing every advantage possible. An arrogant lot, they were an aristocracy of talent without the commensurate virtue to balance it out. Tawney brilliantly expresses the contradictions between the Puritans' beginnings and their end, their possibilities and their reality, with the penetrating statement: "Those who seek God in isolation from their fellowmen, unless truly armed for the perils of the quest, are apt to find, not God, but a devil, whose countenance bears an embarrassing resemblance to their own." [73]
In America, the Puritans are generally seen in a positive light, we remember their landing at Plymouth Rock and founding many colonies in New England and elsewhere; for the Mayflower Compact. And indeed, they were effective colonists. But, as Tawney says, "Ideas have a pedigree which, if realized, would often embarrass their exponents." [74] However, their ideas have done great harm to the Western world, they expounded their philosophy as a minority against the majority. Seen in the most ruthlessly honest light, they waged war against Christ's Kingdom.
To the Puritans and their Calvinistic ideological allies, the Church doctrine and law that had been extent for centuries was an enemy to be neutralized in any way possible. Although, as with Calvin, the Puritans should not be seen as conscious, deliberate soldiers in a war against Christ's Kingship, the effect of their religious practices in the economic realm is incontrovertible. Do not take the foregoing as any sort of praise of Calvin [75], because he was a Jew and did his job very well in bringing in many damnable heresies and false teaching, the scriptures warned about. In America, today, descendants of Puritan stock can be found all over New England and in circles of power everywhere. Certain "blue blood" families, "robber baron" elements of the nineteenth century and many of the preeminent conspiratorial organizations of the twentieth century, such as the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, and etc., which are ultimately controlled by the Jews from behind the scenes.
In England, the Puritans and the commercial classes, in general, had been chafing under the economic limitations the crown had subjected them to. The commercial classes and Parliament allied themselves against the Crown, and under Cromwell's leadership a king was beheaded.
Later, Parliamentarian forces achieved permanent dominance over the Crown as a result of the Glorious Revolution (1688-89). A deal was struck with the Jews of Amsterdam for financial support, a king of their own choosing was installed. Five years later, in 1694, the prototype national credit monopoly, the Bank of England, was established.
The Puritans had arrived, with an army financed with Jewish money, they had become the dominant force of the seventeenth century; and with their advent, all moral and Christian restrictions of the employment of money in society disappeared. And the war for dominance within the Puritans's soul, between the Christian religion and economics, was decided in favor of economics. A century later the world heard very little about Puritans, but their spirit carries on.
The new economic virtues were solidly in control by the end of the seventeenth century by the Jewish Money Power. They were poised to monopolize and control the profits that accrued from the technological advances of the Industrial Revolution. The means of production quickly became too expensive for the common man. He was forced to seek employment from the financial interests who owned the factories. These captains of finance and production had no intentions of ever admitting the common man to full partnership. There was a tacit agreement among these economic aristocrats which brought them together in various overt and covert conspiratorial organizations against the common people, the very societies without which they couldn't survive.
The Machine and War has made it so that today, we're surrounded by the fabulous material wealth this economic/industrial engine has produced. The average person is unable to objectively appraise it. Its dazzling profusion numbs our perceptions and powers of reason, and worse yet, it addicts us to want more, to want better, to expect steady improvements and constant change. Progress! How can we fault it?
All technology has been co-opted by the Beast. The Industrial and Technological Revolutions, which fed at the trough of the Commercial Revolution, serve only their master, and none other. This gigantic thing called "The Machine" by William Gayley Simpson, and "Technics" by Oswald Spengler, is a weapon, and it is aimed against the vast majority of mankind. It is possible, in retrospect, to see that the most effective use our self-chosen masters have conceived of this weapon is war: "More is consumed in wartime in a day than is consumed in peacetime in a year." [76]
Fletcher Prouty estimates the cost of the Vietnamese war to have been between 220-500 billion dollars. War is a guaranteed money maker, its a money making machine. Everyone knows political regimes resort to wars as life savers to relieve domestic resistance to their incessant thievery and intrusion. What most people don't realize is how utterly devoted they are to it every day of every year. War planning never ceases. Nothing is so important to government as war.
Power over other men is a commodity that is obtained with money: Money is obtained by selling something, and selling credit is the most lucrative business on earth. Selling raw materials and manufactured goods are next in line. The power structure that controls virtually all governments today derives its power from its monopolies in finance and manufacturing.
Whatever is being sold, people must be induced, somehow, to buy; markets must be found, created or stolen. There aren't many left to be found; they are created through deceptive advertising and media manipulation; they are stolen through military intimidation and outright war.
The money must be kept continually flowing in. Any cessation or diminution of the flow jeopardizes control. Gottlieb Hammar, chief Zionist money raiser, once said, "When the blood flows, the money flows." [77]
The purpose for obtaining power over other men is to subject them to systematic thievery, the basic crime, or sin, is theft. Inevitably, all thieves must also become murderers, either to enforce or conceal their thievery. All government are thieves and murderers, by nature; they only have different methods or systems for extorting wealth from the people of the land. There's nothing that government can do for people that people can't do better for themselves. Government has never been able to justify its existence, it has always been a parasite. "Capitalism" is a word that is commonly used to describe the general theory and practice of business, today. A fully grown child of the commercial spirit of the Reformation, Capitalism is simply strong-arm thievery. it is a creature, one of the salient features of which is the inability to endure stats. Like any thief, it must constantly find more victims. [78]
The Age of Discovery, that of Columbus, Magellan, Drake, etc., nearly concurrent with the Reformation period, notified the powers that the earth's resources and markets were in finite quantity. Since that time wars have been the chief means for confiscating raw materials and markets for manufactured goods, it is a highly competitive business, this thing called war.
There are no limits to what the powers will do to conquer and hold markets. The foremost war-making power on earth today is the combine of financial, industrial and military wherewithal which has its active arm in the American Government. In his book titled "JFK: The CIA, Vietnam, and the Plot to Kill John F. Kennedy," Fletcher Prouty describes the connection between business and war: "One of the least known divisions of the CIA is that of the deputy director of economics. This division moves into a country to work with a new regime and to being the task of selecting and setting up new franchise holders for as many goods as possible, to assure that they're imported from American companies and that those from other sources...are excluded...The new franchise holders are usually closely associated with the new President. The CIA screens and selects these new 'millionaires'...This cleansing of the economic system is the real reason for most coups d'etat...the government of such a country is a business monopoly over its people and territory..." [79]
These coups d'etat and brushfire wars are happening all over the world, every day. Some are picked up by our media, in which case they become public. Some are not allowed to become public but are kept hidden. There are dozens in the planning stages at any given time; for instance both the Korean and Vietnamese conflicts were being planned during WWII. In preparation for the allied invasion of Japan in 1945, a stockpile of munitions was accumulated on the island of Okinawa, enough to equip a 300,000-man army.
When Hiroshima and Nagasaki obsoleted the invasion, the stockpile was divided into two equal parts - half was sent to Korea and half to Indochina, to be used to create insurgency movements that could be escalated into brushfire wars that would eventually require U.S. military intervention. Discussions about forms of government, whether this or that country is a democracy, a republic, whether it is Socialist, Communist, Zionist or whatever, touch only the surface. In a way, there is only one form of government in the world - WAR!
Mr. Prouty quotes a remarkable work under the name of Leonard Lewin, but actually authored by a special study group. The title of the work is, "Report From Iron Mountain: On the Possibility and Desirability of Peace (1963)." It was never published because of its dangerous content. Anyone reading this book will quickly realize that they are laboratory animals and government is the mad scientist. Some of the illuminating ideas contained in "Iron Mountain" are:
* Medical advances seen more as problem than progress.
* Poverty is desirable and necessary.
* Standing armies and military draft policies are social welfare programs.
* The space program and other government-sponsored supertech projects are intended, primarily, to spend vast sums of money.
Even the title is an affront to decency. (These people are considering the possibility of peace? What tender loving care!). Obviously, the question "desirable for whom" has been answered with themselves in mind. "Lasting peace, while not theoretically impossible, is probably unattainable; even if it could be achieved it would certainly not be in the best interests of a stable society to achieve it." [80]
Not stated is the fact that all their considering is predicated on their monopoly of power: "War itself is the basic social system. It is the social system which has governed most human societies of record...The capacity of a nation to make war expresses the greatest social power it can exercise; war-making, active or contemplated, is a matter of life and death on the greatest scale subject to social control...War readiness is the dominant force in our societies...War fulfills certain functions essential to the stability of our society; until other ways of filling them are developed, the war system must be maintained..." [81]
But the most central truth from Iron Mountain is this one: "The organization of society for the possibility of war is its principle political stabilizer...The basic authority of a modern state over its people resides in its war powers."
War, war, war: it must continue; they are not really considering giving us peace: "It is indispensable for our purpose that wars, so far as possible, should not result in territorial gains; war will thus be brought on to the economic ground, where the nations will not fail to perceive in the assistance we give the strength of our predominance, and this state of things will put both sides at the mercy of our international agentur; which possesses millions of eyes ever on the wealthy and unhampered by any limitations whatsoever. Our international rights will then wipe out national rights, in the proper sense of right, and will rule the nations precisely as the civil law of States rule the relations of their subjects among themselves." [82]
All the loyalties, allegiances, emotions, camaraderie, cooperation, labor, training; all the hustle and bustle of a million men and women pulling as one, preparing for the showdown; all the spending programs, generating money into circulation, lubricating the economic machine - all for war.
Only war can transform the disintegrated, tranquil individuality of natural society into a mailed fist to be thrown into the bestial frenzy of war by the plutocracy. Without war, central government's raison d'etre is gone. it will wither away for lack of interest, the Beast is a man o' war. War is an addiction we've been swindled into accepting, just as we've been swindled into accepting the TV's, toasters, lawn mowers, desktop computers, electric can openers and thousands of other products of the "Machine" that we've been convinced life would be unacceptable without.
The Beast, whose visible head is the U.S. Government, is an absentee landlord (Veblen) controlling the business life of the world. It tells people what they need, what they want, and then produces it, for its own profit. It distributes its produce to whom it pleases and denies it to whom it pleases. It destroys competitors, conquers and monopolizes markets, all under the business code of conduct that developed beginning with the Reformation.
Sooner or later we'll have to decide what all this technology is worth. Creature comforts are nice but the conclusion is inescapable that every advance in technology that becomes fully integrated into our lives makes us more dependent, on the advance itself, and more importantly on those who control it for their own purposes. We get nothing for free because they want to improve the quality of our lives. William Gayley Simpson writes in "Which Way Western Man," in the chapter entitled "The Machine," "Any admiration I might otherwise be inclined to feel for the triumphs of technics, even its radio, its airplane or great bridges, or its fantastic flights to the moon, is spoiled and turned into bitterness and foreboding when I think of what they are used for, or the human price we have been forced to pay for them...The Machine is the very incarnation of the rational of the-inanimate, of cold steel, and of efficiency...It has a rhythm and a pace that are utterly alien to all organic functioning." [83]
The Machine, at once the "cold steel" and the sweet narcotic of the Beast, must always be hostile to the natural economy (i.e., the ecclesia system Christ taught) and to all who have no use for it. "There is, and has been for centuries, in the highest-level power structure, a determination to destroy mankind's traditional way of life, that is, that of the village. Traditional village life is effective, timeless and impregnable. it is, above all, self-sufficient...Villagers do not need the omnipotent paternalism of the International (Jewish) Banker." [84]
Can the ecclesia system and the Machine co-exist? We have good reason to say no, for the same reason we say that government, beyond the very modest amount ordained in God's Law, and freedom cannot co-exist. Government and perpetual war are inseparable. The Machine will always be in the hands of those who will misuse it.
We will explain it in an allegory: If you don't want people firing cannons at your house, the stupidest thing you could do would be to sent one up in your front yard, aim it at your front door, load it, set the fuse and then walk inside to read the paper. You've given the first person to come along with aggressive intentions toward you the means to destroy you. Government and the Machine are weapons hostile to us, and it is very likely that it can't be any other way. Given the nature of men, it is simply not possible for governments to be our friends. Since these things have a life of their own, the only reasonable course is to not ever beget them. Once created, the momentum of their unnatural lives propels them to confrontation with natural life.
Are we suggesting that we dig a hole and bury all the technological achievements, the medical break-troughs, the advances in transportation and communications of the past centuries and return to the stone age?
Frankly, we don't really know, we don't think that is the choice. Whatever the choice, we must admit that it is not a happy prospect, even for us. We are sure that our people are too addicted to the state-of-the-art for a dispassionate discussion.
To make matters much worse, the territory is virtually unexplored; it has been at least a couple millennia since Divine Law was actually tried. Evidence, pro or con would be difficult to adduce for either side of any such discussion. Most probably, it's a question for the future; for too many people remain unconvinced that what we have today is an unmitigated disaster. They're simply not ready to listen.
What began approximately five-hundred years ago as a relaxation of the moral restrictions on individuals in the economic realm, developed in a logical sequence, building on itself slowly but surely, into the monster the Bible calls "the Beast." It couldn't have been any other way. The tree was foreseeable in the DNA of the seed; the law the creature lived by. The DNA we are supposed to live by is Divine Law. The development of the Beast was the result of many, many unchecked mutations. Every problem we have today has its beginning in the violations of God's Law, and our toleration of those violations.
We think it can safely be said, with an accurate view of history as our vantage point, that men are incapable of making good law. But it is not only this, we also seem to be unable to deal successfully with the unmanageable complexity of life, in general. And when confronted with the inevitable choice of "avoiding sin rather than loss," we tend, under the influence of self-interest, to avoid loss rather than sin. We've been given plenty of hunger thirst, sexual desire, self-interest to survive and continue in this world. All good law is an appeal to something higher than these physical mechanisms. It is an admission of the weaknesses of our character. It is an appeal to deny the self, in favor of that which is more important: the health of the human organism within which we live. We are members of the Body of Christ. The body is more important than the member. God's Law was written for the body first, then the member. There are many systems of law within Christendom, holding sway over various territories. Two such systems, having a sort of dual kingdom in North America, are Constitutional law and Common law. Common law is actually God's Law in modern dressing and is in direct competition, owing their logic, form and content to the rebellion against Christian principles that began in earnest with the Reformation.
Whatever in them is consonant with Divine Law is irrelevant. Whatever is in conflict with it must be discarded, as with all other systems. The argument that either the Constitution of the United States or Common Law is derived from God's Law is a fool's argument, patently absurd, as even the most cursory examination will demonstrate. Obeying them is a violation of the commandment not to have any gods before the Most High, what we did in America two hundred years ago was look up at the heavens and say to God, "We don't like your Law. We can do better and we're going to show you."
God did not give us the Constitution of the United States as we know it today, we made it, and it didn't work because it couldn't work. All systems are integrated with the Beast; the political system; social system; legal system; military; technology - all are sucked into the black hole of its soul. The Beast is business, a man o'war, a machine, an addiction that grew out of our mistakes, our sins against God and the Lord Jesus Christ. Though it may be many years old, it is a newcomer, and has the exaggerated hunger and restless activity of a new comer. It had a gestation, birth, youth and maturity. And it will have a senility and death, but God's Law is forever! "If my people, which are called by my name, 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." [85]
It is at that time the cry will be heard: "Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, where is their God?"

[75]"As long as there remains among the Gentiles any moral conception of the social order, and until all faith, patriotism, and dignity are uprooted, our reign over the world shall not come...And the Gentiles, in their stupidity, have proved easier dupes than we expected them to be. One would expect more intelligence and more practical common sense, but they are no better than a herd of sheep. Let them graze in our fields till they become fat enough to be worthy of being immolated to our future King of the World...
We have founded many secret associations, which all work for our purpose, under our orders and our direction. We have made it an honor, a great honor, for the Gentiles to join us in our organizations, which are, thanks to our gold, flourishing now more than ever. Yet it remains our secret that those Gentiles who betray their own and most precious interests, by joining us in our plot, should never know that those associations are of our creation, and that they serve our purpose. One of the many triumphs of our Freemasonry is that those Gentiles who become members of our Lodges, should never suspect that we are using them to build their own jails, upon whose terraces we shall erect the throne of our Universal King of the Jews; and should never know that we are commanding them to forge the chains of their own servility to our future King of the World...
We have induced some of our children to join the Christian Body, with the explicit intimation that they should work in a still more efficient way for the disintegration of the Christian Church, by creating scandals within her. We have thus followed the advice of our Prince of the Jews, who so wisely said: 'Let some of your children become cannons, so that they may destroy the Church.' Unfortunately, not all among the 'convert' Jews have proved faithful to their mission. Many of them have even betrayed us! But, on the other hand, others have kept their promise and honored their word. Thus the counsel of our Elders has proved successful.
We are the Fathers of all Revolutions, even of those which sometimes happen to turn against us. We are the supreme Masters of Peace and War. We can boast of being the Creators of the Reformation! (John) Calvin� was one of our Children; he was of Jewish descent, and was entrusted by Jewish authority and encouraged with Jewish finance to draft his scheme (To introduce usury, and Jewish fables and false teachings which has ultimately led Christianity away from the original teachings of The Lord Jesus Christ) in the Reformation.
Martin Luther yielded to the influence of his Jewish friends unknowingly, and again, by Jewish authority, and with Jewish finance, his plot against the Catholic Church met with success. But unfortunately he discovered the deception, and became a threat to us, so we disposed of him as we have so many others who dare to oppose us...
Many countries, including the United States have already fallen for our scheming. But the Christian Church is still alive...We must destroy it without the least delay and without the slightest mercy. Most of the Press in the world is under our Control; let us therefore encourage in a still more violent way the hatred of the world against the Christian Church. Let us intensify our activities in poisoning the morality of the Gentiles. Let us spread the spirit of revolution in the minds of the people. They must be made to despise Patriotism and the love of their family, to consider their faith as a humbug, their obedience to their Christ as a degrading servility, so that they become deaf to the appeal of the Church and blind to her warnings against us. Let us, above all, make it impossible for Christians to be reunited, or for non-Christians to join the Church; otherwise the greatest obstruction to our domination will be strengthened and all our work undone. Our plot will be unveiled, the Gentiles will turn against us, in the spirit of revenge, and our domination over them will never be realized.
Let us remember that as long as there still remain active enemies of the Christian Church, we may hope to become Master of the World...And let us remember always that the future Jewish King will never reign in the world before Christianity is overthrown..."
