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

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.
