COMMENTARY
& OPINION
XXXX
FOURTH
OF JULY; FIREWORKS, HOT DOGS, BEER AND
SODAS AND PARISHIONERS TURNED OUT BY THE MILLIONS TO PAY HOMAGE AND SACRIFICE
TO THEIR GOD, THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST
Now we know, of course, that the fourth of July is not a pagan
holiday or is it? With all the poisons
being put into the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink, have
we enough brain cells left to even examine this issue objectively?
Since this celebration is an observance of the "birthday"
of America, then it stands to reason that if America is the "Image of the
Beast" spoken of in Revelation 13, then this celebration is a ritual
involved in the worship of that image.
Many people have an inordinate fear of the "Mark of the
Beast" and yet they haven't a clue as to just who the "beast"
is. Could it be that it is the same
beast we worship the image of? If this
seems ironic, then perhaps we should take a look at Revelation 12:9 which speaks
of Satan who, "…deceives the whole world." Is it possible we are part of that
deception?
Is America really the "Image of the 4th beast of Daniel
7"? Is there a way we can
know?
Perhaps we should look at that book of Daniel where we find in verses
4 and 9 of chapter 12 that it was sealed at the time of writing "…until
the time of the end." At that time
it is to be opened to the understanding of a few and you can see who these are
in verse 10 of that same chapter. The
book of Daniel has been opened in the past three years and whether or not we
realize it, we have witnessed some of the unveiling of it's prophecy on Evening
News.
So if this book that has been sealed for 2,600 years is now opened,
what is it telling us? For openers, it
is telling us that, contrary to Darwinian Folly, mankind is not approaching
godhood through natural selection.
Instead, mankind and related societies and governments are degrading to
the point at the end, of being savages with awesome weaponry. You can find this in chapter 2. You can also see in chapter two, when you
couple it with history and current events, that the legs of the dream image of
Nebuchadnezzar constitute the Christian and Muslim movements today with planetary
dominion as the goal. Judaism is included
in this movement but they are hidden in the "Christian leg" of that
image through a covenant with the Romans in the time of the Maccabees and you
can find the terms of the covenant in I Maccabees, chapter 8. That covenant is still in effect today by
virtue of the Roman Empire bequeathing "…all the power" to the
Vatican (Christian leg) and we see this in Revelation 13:12. The Roman Empire did not fall in 476 AD; that
is Vatican myth put out by Edward Gibbon and published in 1776 as a smokescreen to hide the fact that America was a creation
of the Vatican as the "Image of the Beast".
Yes, the whole world is deceived and it appears that the creation
of the image of the beast was the first successful endeavor in this world
deception. Some of the world is
beginning to wake up to the fact that the U.S. is not the "Shining knight
of nationhood" which they try to convey to the world. The revelations of
Edward Snowden have served to heighten this awakening.
The purpose of these Commentaries is to inform you that we have
progressed through the dream image of Nebuchadnezzar to verse 33 of chapter 2
and we stand at the threshold of the fulfillment of verses 34 and 35. The
meaning of this is explained in verse 44.
We see in chapter 5 that the head of the Babylonian Empire was duly
notified before his empire was supplanted by the Medo Persians. We see in Amos
3:7 that, "Surely the Lord God does nothing without giving to His
servants, the prophets, knowledge of His plans."
This appears to say that the end time Babylon, referred to in
Revelation 18 and in Jeremiah, chapters 50 and 51, will also be notified before
their total destruction for idolatry.
America, in addition to being the image of the beast, is that empire.

HABAKKUK
In these Commentaries, I have tried to put world events into a
world perspective, to show you what is on the horizon and to show it from a
prophetic perspective. I have shown you
that the book of Daniel has been opened in the past three years and how to verify
this for yourself. I have shown you
what it is telling us and one of the things it is telling us is that the New
World Order envisioned by men simply will not happen! I have also shown you that the knell of
America has been sounded and that we are in our last days as a nation.
As each day passes now, more and more people are coming to see the
reality of this. We now have economic
doomsdayers, religious doomsdayers and political doomsdayers trying to sound
the warning.
This brings us to yet another prophetic reinforcement of this
message and in a book by a minor prophet
in the Old Testament, we find a cryptic scripture. Habakkuk 1:4:
"Behold you among the
heathen and take notice and wonder:
For I will work a work in your
day which you will not believe though it be told you." So if the world refuses to believe this minor
prophet, then they have become the fulfillment of this prophecy, right? Wrong.
Scripture is not written to the world, it is written for Israel. It is written to those of whom it is said in
Hosea 4:6 "My people are
destroyed for lack of knowledge."
The book of Habakkuk, to me, does not appear dual. It appears to be an end time scenario from
start to finish. While it was written
many years ago, we see the setting for the vision in chapter 2, verse 3. It is for a "…time appointed".
We see this "time appointed" also mentioned in Daniel 11:35. There is a pre set date
("time appointed") for the beginning of the destruction of Satan's governments
and a set date for the change of command of planet earth. Matthew 24:22 suggests that this last date is
movable.
Habakkuk is complaining to the Creator about a rogue nation
identified as Chaldeans, who runs roughshod over the nations of the world,
robbing, raping, pillaging and with seeming impunity. This nation is powerful and there are none
that can stand up against it. This
nation evidently was established for correcting other nations (1:12) but has
gone far past that stage and is now steeped in idolatry and devoid of justice
even for her own people. I submit to you that these Chaldeans are the same
Chaldeans spoken of by Jeremiah in chapters 50 & 51 as the "daughter
of Babylon.
At this point, perhaps I should interject a personal story to
illustrate the lack of justice in our own country. Some 23 years ago the diesel engine in my
wife's vehicle was destroyed by dirty fuel.
She decided to seek recourse through the courts despite the fact that I
told her she was wasting her time. She
still believed, at that time, that the courts represented justice. (She no longer believes that.) When she presented her case in small claims
court, the judge informed her (in judicial legalese), that the service station
that dispensed the fuel was not to blame and that the oil company that provided
the fuel could not be sued. My daughter
Misty was about 12 years of age at that time and accompanied her mother to the
hearing. She piped up at that point
with, "That's not fair!" The
judge peered over his half glasses and said, "Young lady, we are not
talking about what's fair, we are talking about the law." I really think that says it all about
American jurisprudence and will serve as an indictment against them in days to
come. Isaiah 40:23-24 is about to
overtake us.
Chapter 2 continues the indictment against this idolatrous nation,
listing her sins and detailing the recompense that is certain. But in chapter 3, we see the tide begins to
turn. In verse 3 we see a reinforcement
(and parallel) of Isaiah 63:1-3. In
verse 5, we see what appears to be the 7th trumpet. And the remainder of this final chapter goes
on to detail the destruction of Satan's governments on earth.
Verse 2 of chapter 3 is a point of special interest. "I have seen O LORD your work. In the
midst of the years you did make yourself known…" I'm not sure just what years are being
spoken of here, but since the scenario
is centered around the "time of the end", could it be the mid point
of the 7 year "end time"?
We are at the crossroads of time and we are about to see in our sky
a celestial visitor that has been perturbing the orbits of planets in our solar
system for the past century. I submit
to you this is no mere comet as the media would have us believe. According to a newscast by Brian Williams in
November of 2012, this will be in our solar system in November of 2013 and will
occupy as much space in our sky as the moon and be 15 times brighter. It will cause much soul searching and consternation. Could this be the Creator "…making
Himself known"?
From the scraps of information leaked by astronomers (some of whom
are dead now), my understanding is that this celestial visitor will make two
passes through our solar system. The
first one appears to be this November (2013).
If I am connecting the prophetic dots correctly, this pass will take out
the strongest government of Satan (as noted by Habakkuk). It will then make an arc over in the north
and return with even more physical alterations of planet earth. That time appears to be the time of the 5th
and final quake of the book of Revelations that will be felt worldwide. (Rev 16:18).
This quake brings down the "…cities of the nations", (see
verse 19) and, coupled with invading forces, (see Isaiah 63:1-4) begins in
earnest the destruction of Satan's governments and their support institutions.
The continued preparation to wage war against Syria makes this fall
look even more ominous. There is little
question that we are coming up on Isaiah 17:1.
The next few verses tell us what to expect to follow immediately. Russia has already made it plain that this
will not be another Libya. Isaiah,
Jeremiah and Habakkuk have made that plain also.
The very last verse in this book (3:19) is quite interesting. And it appears the translators all have different
"takes" on it. Could it be
they are all off just a bit? Let's look
at it in the Tyndale Living Bible which, in my way of thinking, gets the
closest to what is being said. "The Lord is my Strength, and he will
give me the speed of a deer and bring me safely over the mountains." What if we changed the word "over"
to "above"? Elijah went over
(above) the mountains to a different part of the world. He didn't die at that time nor did he go to
the heaven of Yahweh's throne. The king
of Israel got a letter from him some seven years later. (II Chron 21:12). We live in exciting t times!

"A WORD TO
THE WISE IS SUFFICIENT"
Throughout history the fortunes of individuals and nations have
been known to change quickly and with short notice. Case in point is those hung in their pajamas
at Nurenburg; months before they were at the pinnacle of power and authority.
America sits today at the threshold of total destruction and the
force that is currently queuing up to bring down America consists of "…an assembly of great nations" ,
and you can find this in Jeremiah 50, verse 9. It would seem that Edward Snowden's
"leaks" have polarized the world and are accelerating our demise.
It would seem that we have about three months before this message
(America's demise) is put out to the world (Nov 2013). At that time, we will have a new celestial
body in our skies that occupies as much space as the moon and be 15 times
brighter, according to Brian Williams on Evening News in Nov 2012.
Is this celestial visitor a messenger? It appears to be! And it appears that it's first mission is to
introduce two witnesses (Revelation 11) whose first message is the imminent
destruction of America, the daughter of Babylon. You can get details in Jeremiah, chapters 50
and 51.
These witnesses draw their information from the newly opened little
book of Daniel which was sealed at the time of writing until "…the time of
the end" (see Daniel 12:4 & 9).
So for those of you watching in dismay as America goes down the
sewer, be assured that he pigeons are about to come home to roost.
The "Media Whores" of America are beating the drums of
war, psyching America up for the intervention in Syria. This is coming. And when the city of Damascus becomes a
"…ruinous heap" as noted in Isaiah 17:1, by whomever's hands,
America's demise will be hard on it's heels.
We will become a nuclear wilderness in a matter of a month. You can get the gory details in Jeremiah
chapters 50 and 51. You can see our fate
by putting the name of America in where it says "…daughter of
Babylon". We will be taken down by
an "…assembly of great nations." (Jeremiah 50:9).
They are already gearing up for that event in the biggest war games
on record between Russia and China as America continues to gut the
military.
We find our nation, and our nation's fate, described in
considerable detail in the Old Testament in the book of Habakkuk. It is coming
and it will be in this generation. The
dominoes are already in place --- we are waiting for the first one to fall.
America's fall will be the first (and strongest) of Satan's
governments to fall. The destruction of
the rest will take some three and one half years. At that time we shall see the change of
command ceremony described in Daniel 7 and planet earth will come under a
different jurisdiction. It will not be a
bloodless coup as religionists would have us believe. See Isaiah 63:1-3 and Revelation 9:16. It will be very messy. Population of planet earth will be reduced by
some 90% and the cities will be reduced to rubble (see Revelation 16:19). All the support institutions for today's
governments will be destroyed. This
amounts to all the colleges and academic educational institutions.
Those politicos granted asylum in the underground cities (called
D.U.M.B.s) will be retained in those dungeons until brought out for judgment
for crimes against humanity (see Isaiah 24:21-22). The world is about to witness the biggest
change in all of history and it is to be in this generation. It appears it could begin at the end of 2013!
Are we ready
for something this big?

RESTRAINING
FORCE
Several years ago, while George Bush was still president, Ken Welch
did some super sleuthing and revealed his findings on the net. One of his communiqués told about Bush being
in a state near delirium because he felt he was going to pull the nuclear
trigger on America and kill a million people by detonating a nuke on a ship
anchored in Galveston Harbor. He was to
accomplish this by simply dialing a number on his cell phone. The ship was in the harbor, the device was
aboard and a very secretive crew had gone aboard and checked it electronically
to ensure that all systems were go. But
then Ken Welch blew the whistle a week before the event and it had to be
scrubbed. It would seem that all systems
were go to implement the New World Order at that time and yet it didn’t
happen. Why?
Since that time we have seen several dates set to implement the NWO
and scrubbed for one reason or another.
It appeared that 11/11/11 was one of these dates. FEMA Camps had been stocked with supplies and
the checkpoints were being set up along major highways in preparation for
martial law. But it didn’t happen. Why?
Perhaps we can find the answer to these “Whys” in II Thessalonians,
chapter 2. I recommend reading it in
some translation other than the King James.
The New English makes it quite plain about a “restraining force” that is
holding back what would amount to world news events. Why?
Before answering this “Why”, perhaps we should look at just where
we are today in the prophetic line-up.
The book of Revelation was allegedly written by the apostle John in or
about 90 AD, while he was imprisoned on the Isle of Patmos. He was given several messages to convey to
the Ekklesia, (trans-lated as “churches” through Catholic influence) and shown
a video, as it were, of the next 3,000 years.
It was “fast forwarded” through much of it but was stopped or slowed
down at points John was to take note of and write down for our education
today.
In order to keep this to a reasonable and readable size, let’s cut
to chapter 6 and view some seals that were to be stripped off revealing what
was happening at that juncture. We see
that the first seal revealed a white horse whose rider carried a bow. The keys to understanding these seals lie in
Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 and I shall not use up space describing how to
use these scriptures. The first seal is
the white horse of religious deception and it was already running at a full
gallop at the time of John’s writing.
You can see in chapter 1, verse 3 that, “…the time is at hand.” In other
words these things were already happening.
The next seal that was stripped off revealed a red horse and “…him
that sat thereon had power to take peace from the earth.” Verse 4;
War. And that also was going on
at the time John was writing all this down, and has continued since. Next comes the black horse of famine and
after that the pale green horse of pestilence and this is where things begin to
get serious because these are to kill one fourth of the population of the
earth! This is a major event. Did it happen when the plague was sweeping
Europe in the middle ages? I don’t think
so. No doubt it took out a fourth of the
population of some areas but not of the whole earth.
As I said, this fourth seal is a major event and now perhaps we can
better answer the question as to “Why the restraining force?” Amos 3:7 says, “Surely the LORD GOD will do
nothing without first revealing His secret to His servants the prophets.” When a nation is about to be destroyed for
idolatry, a prophet is always sent to warn them. In the cases of ancient Israel and Judah,
several prophets were sent and their fates were not pleasant. Some, like Jeremiah, lived through the ordeal
but even he was thrown into a cesspool.
Can it be that America is being destroyed for idolatry? We are a “Christian” nation, aren’t we? “Christian”?
Yes. Godly? No. You see Christianity is defined for the world
by the Vatican, the cesspool of the world.
We lead the world in crime statistics.
We have sacrificed our future armies to the pagan god Molech through
abortion and the number had surpassed 50 million ten years ago. Are we now past the 100 million mark? I think this might be a significant number
because if you read Ezekiel’s prophecy in Ezekiel 5, a third of Israel is to
die of the famine and pestilence.
Another is to die by the sword or spilled blood. I believe the last census numbered us at 308
million. A third of that would be 103
million. So if our abortions are to the
103 million mark, it would be the justification for the one third being taken
out with the sword. You see, the Supreme
Court admitted in Roe v/s Wade that they could not tell “…when life
begins”. Had they been reading the book
all in positions of authority are commanded to read from daily, they could have
known this matter they pleaded ignorant on.
Leviticus 17:11 says, “For the
life of the flesh is in the blood…” If
it bleeds, it’s a life; is that so difficult?
It’s repeated in verse 14 for those who missed it in verse 11. Now let’s cut to Numbers 35:33 and see if we
can determine why America is being destroyed.
“So you shall not pollute the
land wherein you are: for blood defiles the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood
that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.” It would seem that when the magic number of a
third of the population is reached with the number of abortions, (and perhaps
the other murders that happen throughout our land), then the land will be
cleansed by blood.
I see only two prophets to be active during the end time and they
are not the “hat in hand” type of prophet who delivers the message to the king
and then meekly submits his head into the guillotine to be sacrificed. These two will be imbued with powers that
will make politicians drool. You can read
about them in Revelation 11. They have a
mission and a time frame, after which, they too will be sacrificed. Until then they will wield the power
delegated – and it appears this will begin with the announcement of America’s
demise.
So how will these two get the spotlight? Are they already preachers with congregations
in America? Will it be the one with the
biggest congregation or are these all show?
Will it be perhaps a small congregation that pools their resources to
put their pastor on TV for a last ditch message to America?
I really don’t think so. If
you read the account in Rev 11, I think you will discern that one of these will
be in the spirit of Moses (water to blood) and the other in the spirit of
Elijah (withholding rain). Since Moses
was not a speaker, we can logically assume that the speaker will be
“Elijah”. If you read the accounts in
the books of Kings about Elijah, you find that he thought he was the only man
alive who feared the Creator. You will
see that he was informed that the Creator had 7,000 in Israel who had not bowed
the knee to Baal. Now if these had been tithe paying members of the “Church of
Elijah”, surely Elijah would have known of them; but they weren’t and he
didn’t. And I do not expect the “Elijah”
of Rev 11 to come out of any American (or other) “Church”. You see Elijah acted with no political power
behind him; only the power of the Creator.
It’s much more impressive that way.
And so will the “Elijah” of Rev 11.
We have found that the TV moguls can put whomever they want on TV
or deprive them of coverage. Witness Ron
Paul. So just how will this “Elijah” get
a forum for his message to America?
Think about it! Those that are
destroying America have been restrained for years now from implementing their
NWO. This is made to order for
them! They will probably give him Brian
William’s spot on CNN evening news. This witness may even announce the
imposition of martial law in the U.S. for them because no politician wants to
make this announcement and put himself in the crosshairs. Would this be an act of treason on the part
of the witness? Was Daniel a
traitor? He was a counselor to the king
of the armies laying waste to his homeland and shedding the blood of his fellow
citizens and/or taking them in chains to Babylon.
Consider carefully verse 4 of Ezekiel 5 and study it in several
translations and I think you will see that the fire of destruction for America
will be lit by approval of one or
more of God’s people. Could anyone less
than a Prophet give an approval for the Creator? Who are God’s people? Let’s look at Isaiah 52:6. “Therefore My people shall know my
name.” You can see in I Kings 8 and II
Chronicles 6 just how important He considers His name; (God is a title), and it isn’t “Jesus”.
So how will the witnesses establish their authority? Consider this scenario:
With postal snooping, cell phone and e mail monitoring and hoards
of officers that sally forth to “…harass us and eat out our substance”, no one
in America is safe from allegations of terrorist connections. Let’s just suppose this “Elijah”, whomever he
may be, comes to the attention of our Chief and he sends out a troop of FEMA
officers to bring him to his office for a talk.
The FEMA officer knocks at “Elijah’s” front door and asks, “Are you the
man of God?” How he answers that will
define his authority. For the rest of
the story, go to II Kings, chapter 1.
Are we prepared for America to be destroyed for idolatry as were
Israel and Judah of old? Hosea 5
strongly hints that it will take no more than a month. Are the armies already
on our shores and positioned? Is God’s
stamp of approval all that is lacking?
Is this “Elijah” alive today? And
when will the "restraining force" be lifted? Will it be at the "…time
appointed"?
5/3/12
MYTHS, LIES AND
TRADITION
PUSHED BY
RELIGION
The Jews are great for pushing tradition to the exclusion of
scripture. And this didn’t start just
last week. In the book of Jeremiah we
see written some 2600 years ago that, “Our fathers have inherited lies…” Verse 8 of chapter 8 even seems to say that
the scribes were falsifying scripture deliberately even at that early
date. Could this be part of the reason
Christ called the Pharisees “…sons of the devil”?
The Jews are not the only ones pushing myths, lies and tradition
--- it seems to be the hallmark of all religions. And once you dig into the history of how some
of this came to be, it really doesn’t seem all that surprising.
To the serious Bible student aware that the book of Daniel has been
opened, it becomes plain that religion is the inside track to world
dominion. There are three religions
actively pursuing world dominion. The
Muslim make no secret of it. They say
the world populace has to be converted to Islam or killed. The other two are much more discreet yet
actively pursuing the same goal. These
are the Jews and Catholics who are also working in concert yet this is unknown
to the world at large at this time.
The covenant which binds them is over 2000 years old and dates back
to the time of Maccabees. Now I am well
aware that there was no organization named the “Catholic Church” at that time,
however, the covenant was made between the Jews and the Roman Empire. Many years later the Roman Empire bequeathed “all” it’s power to the Catholic Church
(see Rev 13:12) and therefore, the Catholic Church then acted in the official capacity of the Roman
Empire. Hence the covenant which Rome
considered “forever” is still in
effect today. You can find this covenant
in I Maccabees chapter 8.
We can also see the affinity between these two in the ownership of
the world bank, which most think to be the Rothschilds. In the Encyclopedia Judaica, under article
"Rothschilds", we see, "…keepers
of the Vatican treasures." This should amount to a lens
correction in our "World Vision".
