COMMENTARY & OPINION
LIII

DAY OF VENGEANCE

"The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised."

"To preach the acceptable year of the Lord…" 

Those were the opening lines of Christ's first recorded sermon and you can find it in the 4th chapter of the gospel of Luke.  Those are verses 18 and 19.  The very next verse says, "And He closed the book and gave it to the minister and sat down.  And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on Him."  Verse 21 says, "And He began to say unto them, 'This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears."

Is it just possible that this first recorded sermon of Christ is pregnant with meaning for us today?  Why?  Not just because of what He said but rather, what He didn't say.  You see, He was reading from the book of Isaiah and He stopped in mid verse and sat down.  It was a demonstration of respect to stand while reading the scriptures but for  the expounding of them, it was acceptable to sit. 

After He sat down, He told them, "This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears."  Now let's go to Isaiah 61 and read the rest of the verse in which He stopped mid-verse.  Verse 2:  "To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD…"  This was the part He read.  What He didn't read was, "…and the day of vengeance of our God!"

Why did He not include that?  Because that was for some 2000 years down the road.  That is what these Commentaries are announcing in this the end time as indicated by the opening of the book of Daniel.  If you are a regular reader of these Commentaries, then you know how we know the book of Daniel has been opened.

"The day of the vengeance of our God" is about to descend on this planet in all its fury for the international crimes listed in Habakkuk 1 and indicted in chapter 2.  Chapter 3 is the descending of this fury and it appears it will not only be in this generation but also in this administration. 

Many prophecy watchers, (including myself), have thought in the past that the end time was the "time of Jacob's trouble" and would be three and one half years.  We have been shown recently that this is not the case because the book of Daniel was sealed at the time of its writing and not to be opened until the "end time".  That book has been opened for over three years now and yet the "time of Jacob's trouble" has not yet begun.  The "time of Jacob's trouble" is spelled out quite specifically as three and one half years. 

If we look into chapter 17 of the book of Isaiah, we see in verse 4 a reference to this time as the time when, "…the glory of Jacob shall be made thin."  If we but drop back to verse 1, we can see the trigger event for this.  "Damascus is taken away from being a city and it shall be a ruinous heap."  Do we see this on the horizon today? 

In the book of Habakkuk, we can even see the grand opening for this event and I daresay it is something the world is not prepared for.  As noted above, the crimes of international piracy by a nation called Chaldea, (this is America), are listed in chapter 1 and the list continues in chapter 2 along with the divine indictment of that nation.  Habakkuk 2:3 says, "For the vision is yet for an appointed time (see Daniel 11:35) but at the end it shall speak." 

So we see the setting for this little book of Habakkuk is "…at the end time."  We already saw that the end time is more than three and one half years and appears to be seven.  Now according to Habakkuk, there is to be a significant event in the midst of those years.  We see in chapter 3, verse 2, "…in the midst of the years you did make yourself known!"  (This is speaking of the Eternal).  In the midst of what years?  The seven years of the end time which is the setting for the book of Habakkuk.  The next verse says, "God came from Teman,  the Holy One from Mt Paran."  This is best described in Isaiah 63:1-4. 

We are witnessing a nation that has sunk to the lowest levels of depravity and this is evident by what is happening in our nation today and has been for many years.  Pornography is rampant and so are sex crimes perpetrated against children.  The medical profession is a governmental killing machine and politicians, doctors and lawyers have raped the nation and have prepared their hidey-holes to ride out the nuclear exchange.  If they had only studied the scriptures, they would have known that these hidey-holes, (called D.U.M.B.s), are nuclear powered dungeons where they will be held until their trial for crimes against humanity. 

We are about to see a justice system installed on planet earth that has not been in all of earth history.  The death penalty is to be restored and the indictments have already been written. You can see who is going to die in Ezekiel 18.  How can this be?  How can we kick the traces of the world's despots?  The same way the Israelites in Egypt did.  With the divine destruction of those nations holding the captives.  It is the coming invasion from outer space and earth rulers have already been apprised of this invasion.  This is another facet of the reason for the hidey-holes. 

I have shown in past Commentaries that the invasion party is, not only going to make themselves known, but they are going to bring out of the existing nations an exodus of people to the Jerusalem area.  This is to be after the destruction of the present Luciferian govern-ment of Israel and the expulsion or annihilation of those doing the destruction.  See Isaiah 52:10-12.  The Jerusalem area will become the garden spot of the world and the base of operations of the invasion party as they bring down the governments of Satan.   You can find which governments these are in the gospel of Luke, chapter 4. 

Notice what the prophet Habakkuk says to the Chaldean nation that is indicted for international piracy in chapter 2, verse 8.  "Because you have spoiled many nations, the remnant of the people shall spoil you."  We see those nations today arching their eyebrows at Chaldea for the international spying on national leaders.  We see that nation at the end of an unsustainable SCAM called "Fiat money" and "Petro dollars".  We are witnessing the nation that is to be first in line for the fury of the "day of vengeance".

It appears that this operation will take some three and one half years and the grand finale will be the coronation of a new ruler of planet earth and you can see the coronation ceremony described in Daniel 7:13-14.  The true New World Order will be implemented at that time and the process of rebuilding our planet will begin.  Current rulers, their armies and those who love the present system will be converted to vulture food (see Revelation 19), so that the recovery process can proceed unimpeded.  Is this a "wand wave"?  No!  This is the rescue the prophets promised millennia ago and the "appointed time" of Daniel 11:35 is almost upon us. 



WILL THE FOUNDATION FOR THE 3RD TEMPLE BE LAID ON
NOVEMBER 30 OF THIS (2013) YEAR?

Many people have watched anxiously for the past many years for signs that the Jews are about to begin the third temple.  Many feel it is a precursor to the return of the Messiah.  Many feel that sacrifices cannot be resumed until that temple is built.  But is this true simply because many "feel" that it is?  Many others "feel" they are about to be "raptured" off to heaven.  Does this make it true? 

Perhaps we should begin by showing that a temple is not necessary in order to offer sacrifices.  Please turn to Ezra 3:6:  "From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD.  But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid."   This should hang a big question mark in our minds as to the rebuilding of the temple by the Jews.  Will they make some kind of a show of an attempted rebuild this November 30? 

But is there to be a foundation laid this November 30?  We need to be sure we know all the ramifications of the third temple.  We should ask ourselves if the Messiah is going to return to a temple built by the Jews and defiled by the beast.  I very well know about the scripture that says He will return suddenly to His temple (Mal 3:1) but if the Jews build a temple, is that His?  Besides, even though we have assumed that this sudden return to the temple is at the time of His 2nd coming, is that really the case? 

Recent revelations hang a number of question marks over our past perceptions of the 2nd coming.  One is Daniel 12:1.  Another is Hab 3:2.  Also Isaiah 29 through 34 appears to say the headquarters of those mounting the invasion of planet earth from outer space are going to make Jerusalem their command center for the three and one half years they are dismantling the governments of Satan.  We have been raised on myths --- religious, political, historical and otherwise.  Only when we come to realize and acknowledge this can we begin to see through the mists of deception with which Satan has "…deceived the whole world."  (Revelation 12:9).

There is a full court press on to try to unite the world under a New World Order and the Pope is even trying to build bridges to the Muslim World.  If we are to believe scripture, it will not happen. 

Perhaps we have overlooked a scripture in Zechariah 6, beginning in verse 12.  "Behold the man whose name is the BRANCH; and He shall grow out of His place and He shall build the temple of the LORD."
13  "Even He shall build the temple of the LORD;  and He shall bear the glory and shall sit and rule upon His throne…"

Is it the Jews that will build the third temple?  Or will the Messiah Himself oversee the construction?  

With this as a backdrop, let's consider another scripture that seems to have been opened through the opening of the book of Daniel.  This is the minor prophet known as Haggai.  In chapter one the setting is very obviously in the days of the Median King Darius but we see the setting changing in chapter two. If we drop down to verse 18, we see:

"Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider it." 
19  "Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine and the fig tree and the pomegranate and the olive tree hath not brought forth:  from this day will I bless you."

20  "And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,"

21  "Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, 'I will shake the heavens and the earth;" 

22  "And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother." 

This is talking about the crisis at the close of the age!  Continuing in verse 23, we see:  "In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take you, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, and will make you a signet: for I have chosen you, saith the LORD."

This is couched in some dark wording and can be a bit difficult to understand until we apply the method given in Isaiah 28 for acquiring knowledge.  "…precept upon precept … line upon line … here a little and there a little." 

Now let's go to the book of Zechariah 4:9 where we read:  "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me unto you."

We are still "…seeing through a glass darkly" but if we go to I Corinthians 3:16, we see the apostle Paul saying, "… know you not that you are the temple of God?"  Now the mist begins to lift and if we go to Ephesians 2:20, we see that this temple is built on the "…foundation of the apostles and prophets." 

Are those apostles and prophets (including Zerubbabel) already in heaven as the planning committee for the Kingdom of God?  Our religious conditioning has been to believe that everybody that has died has gone to heaven or that nobody has gone to heaven but I submit to you that perhaps neither of these give a clear picture.  In chapter 5 of the book of Revelation, we are given the vision of John and he was transported to the very throne of God in this vision as we can see in chapter 4, verse 2.  In chapter 5, verse 8, we see that, "When he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the lamb…"  Who are these 24 elders?  It would seem they were in heaven at the end time which this vision was portraying.  Are they angelic advisors as some religionists seem to think?  The next verse puts the lie to that theory.  Verse 9:  "You are worthy to take the book and to open the seals thereof: for you were slain and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every kindred, tongue, people and nation."  Was Christ's death to redeem angels?

Are we looking here at a pre-resurrection of apostles and prophets as a planning committee for the Kingdom of God? Will they also become the foundation for the third temple to be laid at the throne of the Ancient of Days as it is enroute to planet earth for the destruction of Satan's governments?  And will it (the laying of the foundation) happen on Kislev 24?  Will Zerubbabel fit the temple to the foundation at the wedding supper depicted in Daniel 7:13-14?  

We live in exciting times!



MORE DECEPTION?

Let's take a closer look at the information being promulgated on our incoming comet ISON.  Brian Williams said on Evening News in Nov of 2012 that it was going to be 15 times brighter than our moon and occupy at least as much space in our sky as our moon.  Are we to believe that a 3 mile diameter rock (or ice ball), reflecting the same sunlight as our moon, is to be 15 times brighter than our moon from 39 million miles away as compared to our 2160 mile diameter moon that is only 240,000 miles away?  And this 3 mile diameter orb 39 million miles away is to occupy more space in our sky than our 2160 mile diameter moon that is only 6/10 of one per cent of that distance? Somehow this doesn't seem to compute. 

Also, are we to believe that this 3 mile diameter rock (or ice ball) is the incoming astral body which has perturbed the planetary orbits in our solar system for the past 100 years plus?  Is this the celestial visitor that inspired the construction of 130 plus underground cities in the U.S.?   Are we considered mushrooms and being kept in the dark and fed horse manure? 

You don't need to be an Einstein to see the deception taking place around the world by all nations.  Mankind is being exterminated like rats and nobody is telling the general public!   We see it in the Fukushimi disaster that is ongoing and poisoning the whole world.  The effects are beginning to be felt in America and just this week there was an article about an outbreak of thyroid cancer in a Malibu, Calif. school.  Americans are not being told the extent of the radiation we are getting by being downwind from Japan.  Americans are not being told that iodine offers a measure of protection against thyroid cancer caused by radiation.  Geiger counters are being systematically taken off the market except for regulatory agencies and they aren't telling us anything. 

When you add to this the rat poison in our foodstuff, the neurological poison in our water, the ethylene dibromide chem trails in our skies and the sonderkommandoes that the medical profession is comprised of, it becomes obvious we are less than mushrooms.  We are what is called "cannon fodder" by tyrants. 

It also becomes obvious that today's rulers are destroying planet earth and therefore must be removed from office and destroyed (see Revelation 11:18).  How is that to be accomplished?  The last several Commentaries have outlined how that is to be accomplished.  Warfare is about to take on a new dimension and there is going to be a vast technological gap between the warring parties.  You see, the invading party from space had nukes 4000 years ago. 

They will establish a command center in the Jerusalem area right after the nation of Israel is destroyed along with America.  They will pick off the governments of Satan beginning with the most powerful and working their way down the ladder.  This is the message of the prophets when you assess them "…precept upon precept … line upon line … here a little and there a little."  (Isaiah 28).


DO YOU BELIEVE IN OFFIT?

by Attorney Scott Tips, JD
July 15, 2013
NewsWithViews.com

Come to Papa Offit

The pharmaceutical industry and the American Medical Association (AMA) are running scared—very scared. In fact, jackrabbits have more courage right now than they do. After having created a near monopoly in medical care that has endured 100 years since the Flexner Report came out in 1910 with its hatchet job against competitive health treatments such as homeopathy, naturopathy, osteopathy, chiropractic and herbal medicine, this drug and medical mafia has kept a jealous and vigilant watch over its monopolistic commercial privileges.

A Coercive Monopoly

These privileges, mind you, would not and could not exist without the very active participation of government enforcers who ensure that any serious competitors will be regulated out of existence or into insignificance. And if, by chance, any of these competitors should pose a serious threat to the medical mafia, then heavy fines, incarceration and public humiliation will be their fate.

Yet, despite government thugs’ relentless and best efforts to suppress these challenges to the medical monopoly, we have all seen a phenomenal growth in alternative healthcare and throughout the dietary-supplement business, proving once again that government is hopelessly incompetent at waging war against anything, whether it’s the War on Cancer, the War on Drugs, the War on Terror or, yes, the War on True Healthcare.

That the medical mafia is truly scared can be seen in its scooping up large chunks of the supplement business, some of them made into “Pharma Lite” companies that will not threaten drug-industry profits but instead simply silently support the status-quo medical system that sees hundreds of thousands of Americans and Canadians die each and every year.

Their fear can also be seen in their repeated—and now stepped up—media campaign to demonize supplements and alternative medicine. From the April 2010 Reader’s Digest cover story screaming “The Vitamin Scam” to the equally biased USA Today front-page story by Liz Szabo (June 19, 2013) on the dangers of alternative medicine, the push is on once again to convince consumers everywhere that supplements and alternative medicine are dangers to be avoided at all costs. Conspicuously absent from any such “exposés,” though, is any comparison of the health risks between highly regulated drugs and doctors, on the one hand, and “loosely regulated” supplements and alternative healthcare, on the other. All except the naïve know that supplements and alternative healthcare are not even in the same league as deadly conventional medicine.

The Medical “Hit Man”

Enter the medical mafia’s latest boy wonder talking head, Paul Offit, M.D. Looking as if he were sent straight out of Central Casting, Dr. Offit has put his name on a book that I would bet was actually written, or at least heavily researched, by a medical-mafia marketing team and given the cutesy title, Do You Believe in Magic? The Sense and Nonsense of Alternative Medicine. Presumably, Dr. Offit would know the answer to that question, as he himself has proved to be a fervent believer in the magic of over-vaccinating children as well as the magic of drugging Americans at every opportunity despite a yearly body count that would make ancient despots proud.

Remember, ibuprofen alone kills some 17,000 Americans a year. And how many thousands of Americans are killed annually by vitamin-and-mineral supplements? A big, fat zero. So, if anyone believes in magic, it is the pathetic talking head Dr. Offit.

Still, in a back-handed compliment to the National Health Federation, Dr. Offit’s hatchet job begins with an attack on the Federation, claiming it “represents the financial interests of the alternative-medicine industry” and even had a hand in the death of a child whose parents were led astray from conventional medicine. Serious accusations, which ignore, once again, the hundreds of thousands of deaths every year at the hands of properly licensed doctors and hospitals and because of FDA-approved drugs. It is also predictable that Dr. Offit, or should we say Dr. Profit, who most assuredly represents the financial interests of the drug industry and has made millions off of it, should try to tar the Federation with the same familiar brush that tars him. Even if they were true, which they are not, Offit’s claims are nothing more than those of a Drug Lord complaining to the police or public that someone had trespassed across a corner of his property.

Back in the 1960s and 1970s, the AMA similarly unintentionally complimented the Federation by spying on its conventions. The medical mafia guards its monopoly jealously.

The Offits of the world come and go. Next year’s drug peddler might still be Offit or it might very well be someone else, someone fresh and unexposed for what he or she really is: nothing, but a slick talking head for the drug industry. But, in the meantime, how many deaths, lessened quality of life, shortened lifespans and lives filled with pain, misery and tears will be on Offit’s hands because he scared consumers and patients away from healthful supplements and into unnecessary surgeries, harmful vaccines and killer drugs? Offit’s soulless repetition of drug-industry platitudes will convince the unthinking and naïve; but in doing so, they carry very real consequences for many millions of lives. Is this not also another form of the “banality of evil” of which Hannah Arendt once wrote?

“Nutriphobia”

David Stouder, a health-food storeowner in Redwood City, CA and radio personality, coined the term “Nutriphobia” in describing a condition where otherwise sensible people think that drugs are safe and nutritional supplements are dangerous. As he puts it, “Nutriphobia is not a joke. It causes untold misery and poor health and even leads to fatalities. It is rarely diagnosed before considerable damage has been done and is commonly spread by doctors to their patients. Nutriphobia can cause a person to turn away from natural substances (vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, phytonutrients, etc.) that can truly build and maintain health. Nutriphobia enhances the illusion that consuming synthetic pharmaceuticals (which, when prescribed and taken properly, kill well over 100,000 Americans each year) is the ‘scientific’ way to good health.”

Dr. Offit clearly suffers from Nutriphobia; and, unfortunately, the condition is highly contagious. Some, such as health researcher and writer Bill Sardi, have methodically deconstructed Offit’s specious arguments against supplements and alternative healthcare. (See “Why the Latest Study On Vitamin Supplements May Not Be Instructive To You” by Bill Sardi). Marc Brush, in his short, but well-done article, “Supplements in the Crosshairs, Again,” solicits comments from several industry and other leaders in response to Offit. These, and more, are all worth reading so as to inoculate oneself against Nutriphobia, a contagion every bit as dangerous as many diseases.

Offit Is also a Symptom

Dr. Offit may be a well-credentialed and degreed professional; but, seriously, Offit knows less about nutrition than most of the individuals reading this article. His degrees and credentials might impress, but the parchment upon which they are printed is nothing more than certificates of ignorance. In 100 years, if not sooner, Offit will be forgotten, except to those social and medical historians studying the follies of an obsolescent and fading 21st Century health industry, who, I suspect, will easily hold Offit up to the same ridicule and disdain as Stalin’s Lysenko is today.

Clearly, Offit suffers from the nutriphobic condition defined by Mr. Stouder; but Offit is also a symptom, a symptom of the fear that pervades today’s Disease-Care industry. Fear of alternative medicine and supplements, fear of change, fear of loss of market share—ultimately fear of you and me. That failing industry will resort, as it has for 100 years, to employing the tools of government coercion and media disinformation to persuade its customers to remain enslaved by a never-ending cycle of disease and ill-health until death. John F. Kennedy’s warning that “a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people” must be heeded.

That fear illuminates our strengths. We need merely to continue pressing resolutely forward, confident in the genuine science supporting our various ways of maintaining health and forestalling disease. We must not delude ourselves that we somehow have all of the answers or that we ourselves are flawless. No system is perfect; we can only hope to minimize the imperfections and failures. And through the free flow of truthful health information, absent from government coercion and suppression, we can minimize the deaths and ill health that so badly plague our current outmoded system of disease care that pretends to be healthcare.

COMMENTARY & OPINION LI - Putin



From the desk of
Bill Ramey

COMMENTARY & OPINION
LI


COULD VLADIMIR PUTIN BE AN END TIME CYRUS?

Cyrus was the Median king of the Medo-Persian Empire that took down the ancient world ruling kingdom (empire) of Babylon.  Darius was one of his leading generals and the one that engineered the conquest of Babylon without a battle.  You can get some of the story in the 5th chapter of the book of Daniel.

The Babylonian captivity of the nation of Judah took place in several waves and the prophet Daniel was a captive in one of the earlier incursions into Judah and was taken, along with his three friends, Hananiah, Azariah and Mishael, to Babylon where they were found to be bright young men that could learn the Chaldean language and be of service to the king in an advisory capacity.  As the situation then progressed, they were promoted to administrative positions. 

The historian Josephus tells us that the Medes were descendents of Madai, son of Japheth (see Genesis 10:2).  The book of Jubilees tells us the earth was divided up territorially among Noah's sons, with Ham to have the continent of Africa, Shem to have the middle east and Japheth to have the far northern territory (Asia).  As nearly as I can determine, the rest of the earth was uncommitted at that time.

Genesis 10:2 says, "The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech and Tiras."  Some few have already found the trail of Magog, Tubal and Meshech leads to the area we call Russia today.  But from there they began to spread to other parts of the world as well and we see this in the confederacy of the Medes (Japhethites) and Persians (Shemites).

Verse 3 of Genesis 10 says, "The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah."  These, we find, migrated south (after their initial move into what we call Russia today) and became a nation located just above the Black and Caspian Seas in the 7th and 8th century AD known a Khazaria.  They adopted the religion of Judaism in the 8th century and that is a story best told by Arthur Koestler in a book entitled "The Thirteenth Tribe".  Because of exorbitant taxation on Russian goods shipped down the rivers to the Black and Caspian Seas, they were driven out of the area by Russia and migrated into the Balkans and became the Ashkenazi "Jews".  These are the "Jews" ruling Israel today.   The leaders among them told the Balkan leaders they were descendents of Ashkenaz while the common people claimed to be descendents of Togormah.  So it appears that at least those two tribes are represented by them.

Why do we need to know these things?  In order to understand what is going on in the world today, and why the line-up of nations as they are in the preparations for WW III.  We also need to know this in order to understand the prophecies in Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Jeremiah, to name just a few.

So what does this have to do with Putin being an end time Cyrus?  Bear with me.  You don't take Calculus until you have mastered arithmetic, algebra, geometry and trigonometry.  Likewise, you cannot understand prophecy until you learn the players and how they fit into the modern world.  We can remember the NASCAR driver's names and their car numbers.  We can name all the players on a given sports team but is all this sports knowledge going to give us a leg up in the understanding of world events or are we being, "…destroyed for lack of knowledge"?  Hosea 4:6

"But we elect politicians to take care of world problems" --- ah yes --- and therein lies the problem.  We have been so preoccupied with the rituals involved in the worship of the image of the beast, we neglected to learn the identity of this creature created by the Vatican (see Revelation 13). 

So what was Cyrus' claim to fame?  He released the Jews (those who wanted to be released) to go back to Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple (see the book of Ezra), and the city.  He was also the last world ruler to acknowledge that his world ruling position was given him by the Creator (see Ezra 1:2). 

We live in a time when many "religious superstitionists" are expecting the Jews to rebuild the temple again.  There are rumors that the stones are already cut and stored in the underground bunker where they were mined and just waiting for the green flag from the Israeli government to begin the project.  Do you really believe they will get that green flag from an admittedly Luciferian government?  It ain't gonna happen!  Do they have to have a temple in order to resume the animal sacrifices?  Many Protestants adamantly insist they do.  But is this more of the myths we have been raised with?  Let's look in the book of Ezra at the commencement of sacrifices in his day (6th century BC).  Chapter 3, verse 6 says, "From the first day of the 7th month (Yom Teruah) began they to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD.  But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid."

Are we waiting for an event that ain't gonna happen?  Have we overlooked something?  Let's turn to the book of Zechariah and look at verse 12 of chapter 6: 

"Behold the man whose name is 'The Branch'; and He shall grow up out of His place, and He shall build the temple of the LORD."

Verse 13 continues: "Even He shall build the temple of the LORD; and He shall bear the glory and shall sit and rule upon His throne;"

So will He build this temple single handedly or will He be assisted in this project?  In recent Commentaries, I have shown that Israel and America are to be destroyed together.  There is a sequel to that event and perhaps we should look at it.  Let's pick it up in the Tyndale Living Bible in Isaiah 29:1; "Woe to Jerusalem, the city of David.  Year after year you make your many offerings, but I will send heavy judgment upon you and there will be weeping and sorrow.  For Jerusalem shall become as her name 'Ariel' means --- an altar covered with blood.  I will be your enemy.  I will surround Jerusalem and lay siege against it, and build forts around it to destroy it."

This scenario lies in the very near future.  But now the sequel.  Continuing in verse 5, we see, "But suddenly your ruthless enemies will be driven away like chaff before the wind.  I, the LORD of Hosts, will come upon them with thunder, earthquake, whirlwind and fire.  And all the nations fighting against Jerusalem will vanish like a dream!"

Jerusalem will be established as the command center for the invasion from outer space that we shall see shortly.  In chapter 31, verse 5, we see that, "The LORD will come and fight upon Mount Zion.  He will not be frightened away!  He, the LORD of Hosts, will hover over Jerusalem as birds hover round their nests, and He will defend the city and deliver it." 

In chapter 32, we see beginning in verse 1, "Look, a righteousness king is coming, with honest princes! 

2  "He will shelter Israel from the storm and wind.  He will refresh her as a river in the desert and as the cooling shadow of a mighty rock within a hot and weary land. 

3  "Then at last the eyes of Israel will open wide to God;  His people will listen to His voice.

5  "In those days the ungodly, the atheists, will not be heroes!  Wealthy cheaters will not be spoken of as generous, outstanding men! 

6  "Everyone will recognize an evil man when he sees him and hypocrites will fool no one at all.  Their lies about God and their cheating of the hungry will be plain for all to see.

7  "The smooth tricks of evil men will be exposed, as will all the lies they use to oppress the poor in the courts." 

Is this simply too good to be true?  Is this religious "buffoonery"?  Or is this the promise of the prophets for the rescue of planet earth before Satan's governments make it into an incinerated relic drifting aimlessly through the blackness of space?

Now let's answer the question as to whether this rebuilding of the temple will be accomplished single handedly.  There will be a number of people moved out of the kingdoms of this world and transported to the Jerusalem area after (and perhaps during) the destruction of the present Israeli government and the routing of those enlisted to destroy it.  We find the account of this exodus from Babylon in Isaiah 52, beginning in verse 10:  "The LORD has bared his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations, the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God." 

11  "Go now, leave your bonds and slavery.  Put Babylon and all it represents far behind you --- it is unclean to you.  You are the holy people of the LORD; purify yourselves, all you who carry home the vessels of the LORD."

12  "You shall not leave in haste, running for your lives; for the LORD will go ahead of you, and He, the God of Israel, will protect your from behind." 

I am quite confident that the Creator could move these people to the Jerusalem area in the same manner He moved Enoch and Elijah to safe areas, however, did He roll out a magic carpet big enough to accommodate 3 million people and their livestock for the exodus from Egypt?  Those people had to walk some 250 miles across some very rough terrain and encountered many trials on the way and it took them two months to get there (see Exodus 19:1).  They were to learn that idolatry comes with a very expensive price tag in the way of pain, frustration, hardships and much grief.  Many died enroute because they insisted on taking their idols with them.  They also made more idols upon reaching their destination which was the real Mt Sinai which is known today as Jabal Al Lawz (Mtn of the law) in Saudi Arabia. 

 It will take approximately three and one half years for the destruction of the armies of Satan's governments and to replace the rulers of those governments with the resurrected saints of the Most High.  During this period of time, the new government (the true New World Order) will be growing in the Jerusalem area and prospering. As we have seen, it will be protected with a cover that makes the iron dome look antiquated.  We see the situation in Isaiah 33 beginning in verse 20:  "You will see Jerusalem at peace, a place where Yahweh is worshipped, a city quiet and unmoved.

21  "The glorious Lord will be to us a wide river of protection and no enemy can cross.

22  "For the LORD is our Judge, our Lawgiver and our King; He will care for us and save us." 

This is just before happening and there will be much confusion.  It appears from Isaiah 32:19 and 33:1 that, in this confusion, the Assyrians will again move into a position of some authority but that will be quickly dealt with as the context shows.  The implication is that they will move in to loot Israel because those who destroyed it were routed before they could accomplish the looting.  Their hopes will be dashed because that wealth is reserved for the people of the new government as we see in Isaiah 33:23.

I fully believe kings of the earth will be moved by Yahweh Himself to facilitate the move of His people to the Jerusalem area.  Which kings will this be?  I think we can be relatively sure that it will not be kings of Islam nations.  Who will be the commanding nation when America falls?  It appears it will be Russia. The lineage appears right and the line-up in world politics today appears right.  It appears, from the foreign troops on our soil (mostly Russian) and more being moved in (Chinese) that we have been sold out by our leaders. The destruction that follows will be only partly their work and partly that of the incoming invaders from outer space.  In Isaiah 24, verse 1 (New English Version), the Creator is quoted as saying, "I will split the earth open and turn it upside down."  Will we see sunrises in the west?  As I have said before, and repeat many times, we do not have reference points for the events that are just about to happen. 

Now, back to the title of this article:  "Could VladimIr Putin be an end time Cyrus"?



"AT A TIME YOU THINK NOT…"

There is a somber warning in Matthew 24:44 about the Messiah's return to planet earth and since we have found we have been deceived on so many other things, perhaps we should look into this as well. 

First, perhaps we should put it into context.  To whom was He speaking?  If we drop back to verse 3, we can see that He was speaking to His disciples.  We have all read the parable of the ten virgins and five were wise and five were foolish.  We have also seen, in the same chapter being discussed, that the times will be, "…as it was in the days of Noah."  And we can see in I Thessalonians 5 that there are to be some inner circle folks who will know the time and be expecting it.

So how then is it that His disciples will be taken by surprise? 

We have learned in these Commentaries that Christ's followers were not Christians!   That is a clever counterfeit handed down to us from the Catholic Church and the very term "Christian" is defined for the world by the Vatican.  When we begin to examine closer, we find the word itself is not derived from the word "Christ" but rather from the word "Cretian" of whom the apostle Paul had nothing good to say (see Titus 1:12).

We also learned from the now opened book of Daniel that the two dominant world powers at the time of the end are the feet of the dream image of King Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 2).  Running out the history of the four kingdoms (empires) to rule the planet from Daniel's day right on down to the time the governments of this world would be turned over to the saints of the Most High, we find that these kingdoms that started out territorial have "morphed" into religious ideologies.  These today are represented by the two largest religious groups on earth and these are Christian (Catholic) and Muslim (Islam). 

We have also learned that the Jews (Judaism) and Christianity, while claiming to be bitter enemies, are really a confederacy and have been for over 2000 years.  I am aware that Christianity, under that name, has not been around that long but the covenant was made with the predecessors of Christianity (see I Maccabees 8) and is still in effect today.  And for those who believe the myth that the Roman Empire fell in 476 AD, check any good encyclopedia, article Byzantine Empire, and I think it will be plain that the fall of the Roman Empire is myth clean and simple.

So the bottom line is that Christ's instructions to his disciples were not intended for Christians --- huh?    Then to whom was it intended?  To those living according to Matthew 4:4.  This is where Christ said, "Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God."  That same Messiah said through the pen of Isaiah, "Therefore my people shall know my name."  We have been led to believe His name was Jesus but is that more of the Christian myths we have been raised with?  Is that merely another of Satan's counterfeits? 

We need to be sure because we live in the time when the vast majority have their heads buried in the sand of mythology awaiting the rapture that will take them away from the time of "Jacob's Trouble."  We find the nation of ancient Judah in a similar state of denial back at the beginning of the 6th century BC.  Jeremiah was telling them that the nation was about to be destroyed for idolatry.  Their answer was, "Nonsense, we have the Ark of the Covenant and the Temple of G_d. G_d will not let this nation fall."  I have heard essentially the same argument right here in America.  They phrase it a bit different.  "God won't let America fall because we are a Christian nation."  American Christianity amounts to the Baal religion of ancient Israel and Judah and is attested to by the phalluses (steeples) atop our houses of worship.  Back then those were called "high places".

"At a time you think not…"  When would that be?  Are Christians studying to find that out?  Or are they of those being, "…destroyed for lack of knowledge"?  I asked a Protestant minister once if he knew who the great whore is mentioned in Revelation 17.  There was a young man standing there eagerly awaiting his answer and his disappointment was obvious when the minister's answer was, "I really don't worry about it."  That ended the conversation and we each went off in our separate directions. 

So how is it that a few will know the time of the Messiah's return?  We find the answer in Isaiah 28:9.  "Whom shall He teach knowledge and make to understand doctrine?  Them that are weaned from the milk and drawn from the breasts."  They have to grow up first!  Some grow old and die and never mature.  Verse 10 goes on to say: "Precept must be upon precept … line upon line … here a little and there a little…"  Our knowledge has to advance beyond John 3:16 and the 23rd Psalm.  If we are aspiring to a position of nobility, then we must conduct ourselves in a manner befitting nobles.  Paul said of the Bereans, that they were more noble than those in Thessalonica in that they "…received our words with all readiness of mind and searched the scriptures daily whether these things were so."  Do Christians do that when they hear something different than what they already believe?  We have all seen ministers who won't even let you finish a question before they jump into the conversation to answer it.
Proverbs 18:13 says, "He that answers a matter before hearing it (fully), to him it is folly and shame." 

We live in a confused and confusing world.  I once had a college grad tell me about the "story in the Bible" of the lion with a thorn in his paw and taken out by a mouse…..  I said, "Jack, that isn't in the Bible, that's Greek mythology."  He said, "Are you sure?"  Was it a vision of this kind of ignorance at the end time that prompted Hosea to pen the words, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…"? (Hos 4:6)

I believe that the ten virgins represent, not Christianity, but rather the Ekklesia and that half of those are wise and still learning (see Daniel 12:10), still receptive to a spirit of discernment, while the other half are asleep.  The half that are wise are looking into the now opened book of Daniel as well as the other books it has provided a key to.  They see that the worldwide conspiracy is no longer a theory but established fact.  In fact, history is a corollary of conspiracies linked like sausages.  These wise know God's name (and it isn't Jesus or Allah), and that it was removed from the KJ version of the Bible in some 7000 places.  They know that the New Testament is not the only part of the Bible that has been tampered with by Jews and Christians but that the Jews were falsifying scripture before Jeremiah's time (see Jeremiah 8:8 --- and read it in different translations).

So doesn't everybody know that the Jews have to build the third temple before Christ's return?  Or is that more of the fables we have been taught in the name of religion?  Does there have to be a temple before the Jews can resume sacrifices? Have we looked at Ezra 3:6?   

Surely we know there is a 1260 and 1290 day countdown and time of Jacob's Trouble before His return --- don't we? Or do we?  Could it just possibly be that this is more myth we have learned?  Have we looked seriously at Daniel 12:1?  Have we understood the book of Habakkuk where it says in chapter 1, verse 5, "I will work a work in your days which you will not believe, though it be told you." Is it just possible that you are reading that work right now?  Could you be a fulfillment of that prophecy?

So if the second coming were to occur at the beginning of the 1260 day count delineating Jacob's Trouble, would that be, "…at a time you think not"?  Perhaps you need to go back and reread past copies of the Commentary.  Particularly the one entitled Habakkuk.

The world is poised on the brink of nuclear war.  It would seem that America has reached the climax of an unsustainable economic SCAM.  It would seem that the bankers have persuaded our leader that the road out of this mess is through Damascus.  I submit to you, based on Bible prophecy, that the destruction of Damascus is the trigger event for the complete and total destruction of America and you can begin to see this in Isaiah 17:1-4.  You can see who the players are and get the gory details of our (daughter of Babylon) destruction in Jeremiah, chapters 50 and 51.  America is about to see things we have no reference points for.  We can begin to get a feel for it in Isaiah 30:13.  We can begin to see why in Numbers 35.  Verse 33 says, "…the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it."  And this is why I have said, in past Commentaries, that 200 million Americans are about to die.  Half of those will die at the hands of the "…assembly of great nations" that pick our bones and the other half will die of famine and pestilence (see Ezekiel 5).  The pharmaceutical industry, FDA, chemtrails in our skies and government approved poisons in our food, air and water are preparing us for this event.

We see date after date being set for the imposition of martial law and then cancelled for whatever reason.  The underlying reason for this is because there is still a restraining force in place (II Thes. 2:7) until the "appointed time" (Daniel 11:35), and when this is lifted, events will come rapid fire.  The wall of Isaiah 30:13 will crumble and America will join the ranks of the "nations that once were" in a matter of hours.

We need to understand these things now because when the "wall falls", it will be a bit late for philosophizing.  It will be a bit late to get serious about debunking our news and our history.  It will be far too late to learn there really was a conspiracy.  It will be too late for any definitive action. 

As recently as a year ago, I was a lone voice saying America is about to be destroyed completely and become a nuclear wilderness and that the reason is for idolatry.  The self appointed seers have still not accepted the idolatry part but more and more politicians, religionists, financial advisors, and common people with common sense, are now beginning to see that there are no political solutions to our dilemma.  We simply have too many strikes against us.  These consist of our own economic meltdown, the international community reaction to our international snooping, Edward Snowden with 4 laptops of damning evidence against us and the determination of "…an assembly of great nations" to end the reign of American terrorism.  If this isn't enough, we have the prophets telling us what happens next.  Are we listening?  

Babylon was a world ruling empire some 2600 years ago (see Daniel 2:38).  But it came down from that position in a single night (see Daniel 5), and without a battle.  It fell while the ruling elite were partying.  

We live today in the age of savages with nukes as depicted by the feet of King Nebuchacnezzar's dream image in Daniel 2.  This is the age in which the rubber meets the road and the kingdoms of this world are given to the saints of the Most High (Daniel 7:22).  This is the age in which justice, which this world has never seen, will be brought to planet earth and death will be on a scale never before witnessed by earth's inhabitants.  We live in a time just prior to "natural"(?) calamities that will boggle peoples' minds.  Isaiah 24:1 (New English) says, "I will turn the earth upside down and split it open".  Few today, take these prophecies seriously, but we are coming into those days and we will see the beginnings of these events within weeks!  And justice will be served.  Those who have built hidey-holes at the expense of the many will soon learn that these holes are nuclear powered dungeons where they are to be held until judgment (see Isaiah 24:21-22).

Can we begin to see that it is not merely the ignorant that will be taken by surprise?  We can see in Ezekiel 18 those indicted and sentenced to death.  The last ten verses of Romans 1 expands on this somewhat.  "At a time when you think not…" will apply to all the beast and "image of the beast" worshippers regardless of their alma mater, lodge memberships, political affiliation and offshore bank accounts.  It will include scholars and pseudo-scholars as well without regard to religious affiliation, degrees after their names and/or past accomplishments.  Is it just possible that we are within weeks of, "At a time when you think not…"?
