THE WORLD DILEMMA
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you.” Hosea 4:6
Surely this can’t mean America for we are the most knowledgeable nation in the world --- why, we even sent men to the moon!
Let’s turn on over a few pages in the book of Hosea, that was written to ancient Ephraim and also to America, and let’s read it in the Living Bible: Hosea 10:13. “You have earned the full reward of trusting in a lie --- believing that military might and great armies can make a nation safe!”
Does that sound like America today? Is America really too great to be destroyed? Will America be spared because we are a “Christian” nation?
We saw, the last few days, the religious card played in the campaign for the coming presidential election and religious folks are stepping up to the camera to demonstrate their ignorance concerning, not only the religion of others, but of their own. Nobody defines “Christian” or “Cult” we simply throw the terms, like mudballs, at those we want to heap scorn on. Few, if any, realize that the “way of life” espoused by Christ was considered a cult!
It didn’t fit with all the pagan cults of that day and therefore was branded as an heretical cult. This term, as well as the term “Christian, is defined for the world by the Vatican.
Should we look at some of the knowledge we are lacking and for which we are in the process of being destroyed as a nation? Daniel was a prophet. Christ said so in Matthew 24:15. Daniel wrote a “Little Book” which is contained in the Old Testament and is entitled the “Book of Daniel”. In this book, Daniel laid out the four kingdoms that were to rule the world from his day (2,600 BC) until the kingdoms of this world would be given to the saints of the Most High. (See Daniel 2:38-39). In other words, we have been under a one world government for the past 2,600 years! Can this be true???? Are our leaders (religious and otherwise) so ignorant as to not know this? Did they study history or did they simply accept the Roman myths put out by our educational institutions? These include “Columbus Discovered America”.
Many smokescreens have been thrown up over the past several centuries in order to perpetuate myths such as this, and yet, they are still myths on the same par with Santa and the Easter bunny. But they’re so cute that we teach them to our children --- we drag in a tree and decorate it --- we teach the children to hunt for colored eggs laid by the Easter bunny and we become a party to the “worship of the Image of the beast.” And you can disagree with this, you can call me names and send me hate mail but you can’t disprove what I’m saying because the more you try to disprove it, the more it comes out in bold print.
Quite frankly, I did not want to believe that America is the Image of the beast spoken of in Revelation 13 and yet the more I looked into it, the plainer it became that it was so.
As previously stated, the Prophet Daniel wrote a little book for our education today and was told, by the one who gave him the material to put in that book, to “…seal the book, even to the time of the end.” (Daniel 12:4) And for the benefit of those raised on Catholic myths, the time of the end is not the end of the world but rather the end of the age and the time the govern-ments of this world will be committed to the saints. (Daniel 7:22) Noah lived to see one age ended and another begun. Some alive today will live over into another age.
The angel who spoke to Daniel repeated his words about the “closed book” in verse 9 of chapter 12 where he said, “Go your way Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.”
The very next verse is quite telling for it tells who shall understand the words after this “Little Book” is opened. Verse 10: “Many shall be purified and made white and tried: but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand: but the wise shall understand.”
It appears to me that the angel here, who is capable of informing Daniel as to the identity of the coming four world ruling kingdoms, is separating the “end time world” into only two camps --- the wicked and the wise. And we are given the criteria for differentiating between the two. The wise are those who understand the book of Daniel after it has been opened. Has it been opened??? It would seem that knowing the answer to this question is crucial.
With this scenario as a backdrop, let’s turn to the last book in the King James Version of the Bible. This is the book of Revelation and many would like to see this book dropped from the Bible perhaps because it is so scary. It is a misunderstood book and the reason for this is because it cannot be properly understood without first understanding the book of Daniel. To begin with, most believe that the book of Revelation is a book pertaining to the last few months or years prior to the return of the Messiah. This simply is not true as we can see in verse 3 of the first chapter. It says, “Blessed is he who reads … and keeps those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.” What time is at hand? The time of the happening of the things written in this book. In other words, they were already happening at the time the book was being written. Four horsemen are referred to in chapter 6 and the first is the white horse of deception. We can see this is not the returning Messiah because this rider carries a bow carries a bow. The weapon of the returning Messiah is his mouth and he commands and army of saints. (See Revelation 19:11-15). The first horse of deception was already running at a full gallop as John (the author?) wrote this while confined on the Isle of Patmos.
As we get further into the book we see that the apostle John was being shown a video, as it were, of a succession of events to occur over the next two millennia and the “video” was stopped at those events he was to make note of for our education today. We can see two lies in the intro to the book (added by Catholics) which says “THE REVELATION OF SAINT JOHN THE DIVINE”. Does anyone see two lies in that one line? If we go on into verse one it says, “The Revelation of Jesus Christ…” (Yashua --- the “Jesus” name is more Catholic myth. Many will consider that “hair-splitting” and yet if we turn to Isaiah 52:6, it says, “Therefore my people shall know my name…” It wasn’t Jesus.) The second lie says, “BY SAINT JOHN THE DIVINE”. In order to see the lie in that phrase, simply open your Webster’s dictionary and look up the word “divine”. You will see that it pertains to the “God realm”. John was flesh and blood like you and I.
In order to keep this communiqué short enough to be readable, I will not bore you with the gory details of this book. We will cut directly to the chase and go to chapter 11 where we find two prophets being prepared to give a final message to the world. Their campaign begins three and one half years before the curtain is drawn on this age. Incidentally, these are the only two prophets mentioned approaching the time of the end.
Notice in chapter 10, John says he saw an angel come down from heaven and please note what he had in his hand --- verse 2. “And he had in his hand a little book, open:” Interesting --- huh? But let’s go on to verse 8 which says: “And the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, ‘Go and take the little book, which is open in the hand of the angel…’” John was then told in verse 11 that he must, “… prophesy again before many peoples, nations, tongues and kings.” We can verify that this is speaking of the time of the end if we read the next chapter. So, in order to do this, John would have to be resurrected --- because John has been dead some 19 centuries. However, in that very next chapter, (chapter 11) verse 3, John quotes the angel as saying, “I will give power to my two witnesses and they shall prophesy for 1,260 days...” So while we see here the “Little Book” was given to John, it must be understood that he is, in these passages, passing it on to the two witnesses of the time of the end spoken of here.
Is there a lack of this knowledge among our leaders? Is there a lack of this knowledge among the masses? Have we phased the Bible out of our institutions to our own destruction?
Are we living today under the curse of Isaiah 24:5-6? Let’s read it: “The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.”
6 “Therefore has the curse devoured the earth and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.” We see here the earth is not destroyed --- a few are left.
Is the economic crisis going to go away? Are we going to rebuild America to once again be a great nation? No my friends --- it isn’t going to happen. What it appears we will do is to bring out the final ruler of planet earth which scripture calls “the beast” (See Rev 17:11) and he will, through yet more clever deception, appear to have the solution to our problems. His induction into office (which it appears could happen as early as the year 2012) will give final notice (approximately 3-1/2 years) of the dissolution of the kingdoms of this world. It will also introduce the two witnesses we covered in this communiqué.
May the Creator of the Universe give us the mind to comprehend cause and effect and the gravity of the situation on planet earth today.
