COMMENTARY & OPINION
LII

DAY OF THE LORD

Religious superstition has taught us that the day of the LORD is when a long haired hippie type comes floating down from the clouds over the Mt of Olives, waves his wand and from that point on, everybody is nice to each other and we beat our swords into plowshares. Some few have looked a little deeper into this matter and begun to under-stand that there is no way all the things scheduled to happen on this "day" could take place in a 24 hour period of time.  So incorporating the "year for a day" principle of Numbers 14:34, they assign a year as the "day of the LORD".  But are either of these concepts right or are we seeing more religious mythology and deception?  Is it possible that, again, we have overlooked something? 

The prophet Isaiah comments at length on the "day of the LORD".  He begins in chapter 2, verse 11, and it continues on throughout the book of Isaiah.  He refers to it as "that day".  By the time of the final chapters, he is referring to it as, "the day of vengeance".  Is God vindictive?  Perhaps we need to read Isaiah 30:30.  When He arrives at planet earth in the next few weeks (or months), it is with a twofold mission:  1) To reward the saints for persevering in a hostile world and 2) to destroy those who destroy the earth (see Revelation 11:18).  We need to understand that, while the Creator is a God of love, He is also a God of wrath and He says in several places in scripture, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay."  And if our concept of God is  a kindly old gentleman with a long beard that only thinks "nice thoughts", perhaps we should read His pronouncement on the religious hucksters that have "…deceived the whole world", in Revelation 17:6.  "Reward her even as she rewarded you and double unto her double according to her works:  In the cup which she has filled, fill to her double."  This is a form of justice the world has not known --- yet.

Yes, the whole world has been deceived, (Revelation 12:9), and this deception has been accomplished through religion.  Now that deception is bearing fruits and the fruits amount to chaos.  The Masonic/Catholic confederacy has a dream of "Order out of chaos".  And for many centuries, they have controlled situations and directed them toward the ends they seek.  But when WW III erupts, the rules change.  The time of the gentiles is fulfilled.  Satan's reign on planet earth has reached its end and mankind is about to be rescued from the slavery of the past several millennia and the rescue party is coming from outer space. 

The nation of Israel, established in deception and ruling with cruelty, is about to be destroyed.  Through deception, they have amassed much of the wealth of the world and this is to be reserved for the people of the government that succeeds them.  If you read the account in Isaiah 29, (and read it in different translations), you can see that those who destroy Israel will be chased out before they can accomplish the looting.  The Assyrians will endeavor to move in for the purpose of looting but they also will be routed. 

The new government for planet earth will be established in the Jerusalem area and will be provided with a protective shield that makes the iron dome appear antiquated (Isaiah 31:5). 

The thing that makes all this exciting is that we are living in those days.  The axe is already being laid to roots of the daughter of Babylon (America), and the coming weeks will see cataclysms mounting.  China has already determined that the time has come to pull the rug from under the American dollar and despite the elaborate plans of American politicians, we are about the join the ranks of the "nations that once were".  It is written!

So when does the "day of the LORD" begin?  How long does it last?

Does it sweep the earth clean of human habitation? 

We have learned in Revelation 18 that there is to be a great trading nation in the time of the end that will be destroyed "…in one hour".  We learned in Jeremiah 51:42 how this is to be accomplished.  The chief city of that trading nation is to be taken out with a killer tsunami.  We know (unless we have our head in the sand) from the Fukushima tsunami that we live in the age of man made tsunamis.  This is accomplished by those, "…who destroy the earth".  We know, or should know, that the world's biggest caldera is in the Canary Islands off the Northwest tip of Africa and that scientists tell us that if it blows in a manner comparable to the last blow (over a hundred thousand years ago) that it will send a wall of water over 100 feet high at our east coast at speeds of a modern jet plane.  Are we aware that this caldera is rumbling?  We could have a dozen "Fukushimas" on our east coast when that happens.  Is that when the "…assembly of great nations" (Jeremiah 50:9) will move in to pick our bones and sell survivors as slaves?  (Ezekiel 5).

We haven't answered the question of when the day of the LORD begins, but in order for me to couch it in terms that are understandable, there are things that need to be understood in order to "set the stage".  For instance, we need to understand that the "time of the end" is not the end of the world as we have been taught by "churchianity".  It is the end of the age and just as Noah closed out one age and ushered in another, the world did not end nor will it at the end of this age.  That is more religious myth.

You also need to know (and past Commentaries have shown) that the book of Daniel, sealed at the time of writing " until the end time", (Daniel 12:4 & 9) has been opened to the understanding of the wise. You can see who the wise are in verse 10 of the same chapter.  With this book opened we can begin to see the two major players in the end time and these are depicted by the feet of the dream image seen by the king of Babylon (and interpreted by Daniel).  By running out the history to verify the accuracy of Daniel's prophetic visions, we can see that these two major powers today are represented by two religious ideologies.  These are Christianity and Islam.  It would seem that America has switched sides in this war (and it is war) and is now supporting the Islamic side with money, arms and political chicanery. 

Since the book of Daniel is opened, then it must be the end time.  It was to remain sealed until the end time.  Some of us have understood the end time to be the "Time of Jacob's Trouble" which is defined as three and one half years in more than one scripture.  However, it is evident that the time of Jacob's trouble has not yet begun, so the time of the end must therefore be longer than three and one half years. 

In the book of Daniel, we found that the nation of Babylon (Chaldea) was conquered by the Medo-Persian Empire.  In past Commentaries, I have shown that the Medes were descendents of Madai and there-fore of Russian descent.  They were of the tribe of Japheth but were confederate with Persia (Shemites) for the overthrow of Babylon.  Is it coincidental in the alignment of nations today, as we square off for WW III,  that the daughter of Babylon (America) is coming head to head with the Medes (Russia) and Persia (Iran)? 

Right now Damascus is a bone of contention because of the determination of America's leader to topple Assad and set up a Muslim government in Syria as we did in Egypt.  It is at this time (when Damascus becomes "…a ruinous heap") that things begin to happen.  We see this in the first 4 verses of Isaiah 17.  Verse 4 is a reference to the beginning of Jacob's trouble.  And trouble it will be, because Israel and America will both be destroyed totally.  This will be at the mid term of the end time.

And I believe it will be the beginning of the day of the LORD.  Let's see why.  In the book of Habakkuk, we see a nation called Chaldeans (Babylon) that run roughshod over the other nations of the earth.  Verse 5 of chapter 1 says, "Behold you among the heathen and regard and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days, which you will not believe though it be told you."

When is this to be?  Chapter 2, verse 3 answers.  "For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak and not lie."

Keep in mind that this is speaking to Chaldeans (American leaders are Chaldean while much of the populace is of the lost tribes of Israel).  Verse 8 says, "Because you have spoiled many nations (Iraq, Egypt, Libya), all the remnant of the people shall spoil you."  The rest of the chapter is the indictment of America.  Now comes the action part, now comes Jacob's trouble.  Now comes the destruction of America and Israel. Let's look at how it begins in chapter 3 of the book of Habakkuk and let's look at verse 2 in the New English translation.  It makes it much plainer than the King James.  "O LORD, I have heard tell of your deeds;  I have seen O LORD your work.  In the midst of the years you did make yourself known…"

The opening of the book of Daniel begins the end time.  That's what it says in chapter 12, verses 4 & 9.  Chapter 3 of Habakkuk is speaking of this end time action and it appears that it is to begin "…in the midst of the years"!  What years?  Why, the end time years which appear to be seven.  And it appears to be divided into two three and one half year periods.  The first three and one half year period has the book of Daniel opened to the understanding of the wise and the last half is for the space invasion and the dismantling of Satan's governments worldwide.  We can see which governments these are in the 4th chapter of the gospel of Luke. 

This scenario of the LORD making His appearance at the beginning of Jacob's trouble is confirmed in Isaiah 52:10.  "The LORD has bared His holy arm in the sight of all nations, and the whole world from end to end shall see the deliverance of our God.
11  "Away from Babylon; come out, touch nothing unclean.  Come out from Babylon, keep yourselves pure, you who carry the vessels of the LORD.

12  "But you shall not come out in urgent haste nor leave like fugitives;  for the LORD will march at your head, your rearguard will be Israel's God."

This is the destruction of America (Babylon) and these few that will make an exodus will be exiting to the Jerusalem area that was destroyed along with America, but those who destroy it will be routed before they can carry out the looting.  Isaiah 29:5 gives the account:
"Yet the horde of your enemies shall crumble into dust, the horde of ruthless foes shall fly like chaff.

6  "Then suddenly, all in an instant, punishment shall come from the LORD of Hosts with thunder and earthquake and a great noise, with storm and tempest and a flame of devouring fire;"

Isaiah 30:27 tells us, "See the name of the LORD comes from afar, His anger blazing and his doom heavy."  Indeed He is coming from afar!  This is the invasion from outer space that is well nigh upon us.

Their command center will be set up in Jerusalem and there they will begin to build the new government for planet earth as they destroy the governments of Satan.  It begins to appear that the seven trumpets of Revelation will occur in the three and one half year period that follows.  Modern "churchianity" has taught us that this is to happen after Christ's return but we have already examined much of what they have taught us and found it wanting.  Most of us started debunking with Santa and the Easter bunny. 

So we see the start of the day of the LORD at the time Damascus becomes a "…smoking ruin".  Isaiah 17:4 and I do believe it goes on right up to the time the new king of planet earth is crowned in Daniel 7:13-14. 

I know very well the challenges involved in kicking the traces of the religious SCAMs and Satanic society.  I began some 50 years ago and one of the hurdles was when our two older children were entering the public school system.  When I went down to register our oldest daughter for first grade, the lady at the registration desk said, "Do you have her shots record?"  I said, "She hasn't had shots."  She looked horrified and said, "Then you will have to get them."  I answered, "She is not going to have shots."  She said, "Then you will have to talk to the superintendent." 

So she went in to brief the superintendent on the situation and came back and said, "You can go in now", still eyeing me with disbelief.  I went into the superintendent's office and took the chair he motioned to. When I was seated, he said, "What seems to be the problem?"  I said, "I don't see that there is a problem.  Our daughter Mary is not going to have shots."  He said, "That's fine, but I need a written statement from you saying you accept responsibility."

I asked for a sheet of paper and wrote a brief statement that I accepted responsibility for her not having the childhood shots, signed it and slid it back across the desk to him and that ended the matter.  It never came up again when our other four children started school at the same location. 

That was in the late 60s and the web has tightened since then.  The childhood shots, in the government extermination program, have shown their effectiveness by increasing the incidence of autism from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 100.  The public is kept asleep by the complicity of the media "presstitutes".  It appears that Obamacare is to quantify the extermination program of the medical profession with Ezekiel 5 pro-portions. 

It also appears that the last honest newsperson was fired for his honesty years ago.  May those involved in it reap their just reward.  We live in a time just before a justice system, the likes of which the world has never seen, is to be set up on this earth and the indictment for death sentences has already been written.  You can find it in Ezekiel 18.  

If we sit down with a Bible Concordance and look up the word "day", then highlight the scriptures that say, "day of the LORD", "that day", "day of slaughter" and "day of vengeance", we can begin to see how many references there are.  If we then look up the action involved in each of these references, it becomes abundantly clear that this is not all going to happen in a 24 hour day.  It becomes questionable that it can happen in a year. 

Then when we read chapters 29 through 35 of the book of Isaiah and realize that the kingdom is going to be set up in Jerusalem during the time Satan's governments are being dismantled, it appears more reasonable that the day of the LORD corresponds to the time of Jacob's trouble and the last half of the end time mentioned in Daniel 12:4 & 9.

We live in a time when doing our own thinking becomes more imperative by the day.  We live in the end time.  We live in the time just prior to the invasion from outer space and the beginning of the day of the LORD!


RUMORS

There is a cryptic scripture in Jeremiah 51:46 that may seem puzzling to some.  "And lest your heart faint, and you fear for the rumor that shall be heard in the land; a rumor shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumor, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler."  Is this where Babylon (America) is today?

Rumors of states ruling against Obamacare and blocking the enactment of it into law?  Is this why martial law is being quickly readied and rumor has it our prez has gone into his underground bunker?  Is the military preparing a coup like in Egypt? 

Are we about to see "…violence in the land"?  We have seen things in America in the last 6 years we never thought we would see.  We have gone from a Christian nation to a nation supporting Islam to the tune of millions of taxpayer dollars per month.  We have watched as our nation destabilized and overturned the nations of Iraq, Egypt and Libya and are now eying Syria.  Are we witnessing the justification for the indictment of Habakkuk 2?  I realize it isn't sheik to believe what the prophets have said, but where else do we look for a place to anchor our beliefs?  The world is a very iffy place where fortunes can change overnight.  We live in a nation whose economy is based on a governmental SCAM called "petrodollars" and China's ruler has just given the go ahead to pull the rug from under this SCAM. 

We are quickly running out of options.  When Iraq began selling their oil for Euros, we bombed the trade center and blamed the Arabs and rallied the American people to support an invasion of Iraq because "they had vast amounts of weapons of mass destruction".  This, of course, was a lie promoted by our leader but it accomplished his purpose at the time.  The first order of business when we invaded Iraq was changing the petro sales back to petro dollars.  Now we are trying to rally the same support for an intervention in Syria and the reason is to pacify the international bankers and oil moguls. The motive appears to be robbery, as in Iraq, Egypt and Libya. 

Seven American generals have been replaced in the past ten days, presumably because they don't support the Islamic agenda.  Where does this leave us?  Have we come to the point of "…violence in the land"?

Many things are about to unfold in the next two months and Americans are totally unprepared.  Is it coincidence that we have some 386,000 Russian troops on American soil?  Is it coincidence that the prophet Jeremiah, speaking of the daughter of Babylon, (America), says in chapter 50, verse 28, "Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes (Russians)…"

America's sun has set!  200,000,000 Americans are about to die!  And the reason is for idolatry.  I realize full well that no one else is saying this but does that make it untrue?  The coming weeks will prove me right or wrong.  The rest of the world is obsessed with being politically correct.  I am not!  If we have lived for half a century or more, we should know that, in America, the voice of the majority is almost invariably wrong.  Look at presidential elections from 1912 to the present. For that matter, look at presidential elections from the git-go.  Was Geo Washington the hero stock the Jesuit censored history painted him as?  Abe Lincoln was a railroad lawyer!  But they have been painted with a broad "hero brush" in our history and one has to wonder if histories are using the same rules used at funerals --- i.e. "the worse the scoundrel, the longer the eulogy". 

This world is upside down and backwards but it is about to be turned right side up.  Isaiah 32:5 says, "The vile person shall be no more called liberal nor the churl said to be bountiful."  This is speaking of the new government to be established in the Jerusalem area that will grow to replace the present governments of this world.  Verse 1 of this same chapter says, "Behold , a king shall reign in righteousness and princes shall rule in judgment."  It appears that this microcosm of government will be set up within the next year.  It will not be another Waco.  It will have a protective dome like the world has not yet seen.  From this microcosm of government, the governments of Satan will be destroyed.  Will today's rulers see this in time to bring themselves into subjection to the new world government?  Not a chance.  Rulers do not cede sovereignty willingly.  They will consolidate their forces, when they see their destruction is imminent, to do battle with this new "enemy" and we can see the results in Zechariah 14 and Revelation 19.

Are we living in the generation that gets to see the biggest changes in the world since the days of Noah?  Is this really coming in our generation?  Read Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 and see if the scenario fits. Check out the prophets and look into their track records.

And then ask yourself, "Are we really living in those days?"  We need to come to grips with the times we are living in because we only come this way once.  There will be no greater advance on the future than to have a leg up in the government that is being brought to us because mankind is totally incapable of self rule as evidenced by world history.

So is this merely another rumor?  You had better hope and pray that it isn't because otherwise, man is preparing to end world problems by ending life on this planet.  We see in Matthew 24:22, "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened."  We are living in those days!


LEADERS

In my career in industry, I saw the ineptitude of managers from a wide variety of perspectives.  The first was from the perspective of a bag thrower in shipping, then progressing through inventory control analyst over a $20 million inventory, a specialist in Maintenance Engineering and finally a superintendent over 5 departments with 76 employees and a $4.7 million per year budget not counting employee salaries.  The year was 1996.  I retired January 15 of '97 and have been assured that things have gotten worse since. 

After retiring, I spent a three month tour of duty in Chile working as a consultant for EsCondido Copper Mine.  I hired out to them through the Kvaerner Bowen Company out of Salt Lake City, Utah, as an Engineering, Warehousing and Purchasing Consultant.  

I take it my services were acceptable by the fact that they sent a feeler, after I left, to see if I would be interested in returning as their manager of purchasing.  I was not interested despite the fact that the tour of duty in Chile was a good experience but not one I wanted to repeat.  Quite frankly, I felt safer on the streets of Antofagasta, Chile, at night, than I did in the little town of Ridgecrest, California.  But again, that was 1998.  I have to keep reminding myself that was 15 years ago.

Old man Deeming was a quality specialist in America in the 1940s.  When he tried to sell the quality concept to GE, GM and other American giants of industry, he was shown the door.  Why did they need a quality program?  They had the whole world as a market place and America was the only manufacturing nation left in the world.  Deeming went to Japan and sold the concept to them that brought Japan from the 1940s technology to a position of a California sized nation competing with the U.S. auto industry.  Japan took his quality training seriously.  It is interesting to note that when Mr. Deeming went to Japan, his comment on American Industry was that 85% of the problems in American industry were in management.  When he returned to America some 30 years later, his observations were up-graded to a 92% management as the problems in American industry. This fits hand in glove with my observations throughout my career in American industry. 

Leaders in America are positioned according to lodge memberships, political and religious affiliations.  As a casual observer, my guess is that leadership capability ranks no higher than seventh or eighth on the ladder of criteria.  So is this a problem?  Only if you consider our national economy a problem today.  We live in an age when people of vision become scarcer by the year.  Vision has been sent to the   back of the bus in order to give the forward seats to politicians.  This is how our nation developed the terminal cancer we call the federal government today. 

Many Americans today look back longingly at the days that never were.  This, in their minds, was when America was a "free nation" and as I said, those days never were. Our nation was conceived by Satan and born in the deception that we are a free nation, a plot by disenfranchised Jesuits who had to go into hiding and seek a new challenge after the backlash of the world to their murderous campaign in Europe known as the inquisition.  The creation of America, as the image of the beast, (see Revelation 13), was that new challenge.  The details of how it was accomplished are best told by the late F Tupper Saussy in "Rulers of Evil".

In order to get a feel for the character of those ruling the world today, we must go to the book of Daniel, chapter 2, and learn of the dream image of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.  He searched his world ruling kingdom for someone to interpret the dream for him and finally located one of the captives taken from the nation of Judah who gave him the interpretation. 

The "little book" of Daniel was sealed at the time of writing, (see chapter 12, verses 4 & 9) and not to be opened until the "end time."

At that time, it would be opened to the understanding of a few, which were defined as, "…the wise" (see chapter 12, verse 10).

Back to chapter 2:  The dream image of King Nebuchadnezzar was a tapestry of time, as it were, unfurled to show the king what "…shall be in the latter days".  (See 2:28)  The king was shown by Daniel that he was the head of gold of this dream image (verse 38).  The second of the four world ruling empires that were to rule the earth for the next 2600 years was the torso of the dream image and this was the Medo-Persian Empire, the silver breast and arms of the dream image.  It is interesting to note that these two of the body parts of the image are made of metals that top the elemental nobility chart.  From that point, the materials of construction degrade through the brass of the belly and thighs, (Alexander's Greece), the iron of the legs and the Iron/clay mix of the feet and toes.  The toes is where we find ourselves today in the stream of time.

It is interesting to note that, of these four empires, the first two did acknowledge the Creator as having given them their position of world rulership, (see Daniel 4:37 and Ezra 1:2).  The world we live in today is depicted by the toes of iron/clay and depicts savages as rulers but with awesome nuclear weaponry.

We have reached the end time and are quickly approaching the mid-term of that segment of time when there are to be significant world events.  Some of these have been discussed in past issues of Commentary & Opinion.  The world is on a toboggan slide toward oblivion and the masses are kept increasingly in the dark as to what is really happening.  The masses have been coached by the rulers through their propaganda ministers ("presstitutes") to pooh-pooh GMO foodstuffs, UFOs, conspiracy "theorists", chem trails and the long lists of poisons in our foodstuffs. 

The angel that spoke to the prophet Daniel divided the end time world into only two camps, (the wise and the wicked---see Daniel 12:10).  He showed in the same verse how to identify each group.  Can we identify the camp we belong in?
