COMMENTARY & OPINION
XLIX

"HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS…" II Tim 3:5

What is a "…form of godliness…"?  Is it a form we should strive for? Perhaps we need to read about the "…form of godliness" in context.  We find it in the instructions of the apostle Paul to his student Timothy:

II Timothy 3:1.  "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come."
2  "For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3  "Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4  "Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5  "Having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6  "For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with diverse lusts,
7  "Ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."


Is a Bible on a coffee table, with glossy untouched page edges, a form of godliness.  Is Sunday church attendance, dressed in our finest clothes, and meeting beneath the symbol of the phallus, a form of godliness?  Is religion, in all its many forms, a form of godliness? 

In the above letter from the apostle Paul to Timothy, he opened with, "…in the last days perilous times shall come…"  Aren't those the days we are living in?  The "…last days", (also referred to as the end times), was to be the days when the book of Daniel was to be opened (see Daniel 12:4 & 9).  If you have been a regular reader of the Commentary & Opinion, you know that the book of Daniel has been opened and you know how we know this.  You also know that the "Time of Jacob's Trouble" has not yet begun so therefore the end time or last days has to be more than the "Time of Jacob's Trouble."

You saw in a recent Commentary that we are coming down to the wire on the mid point of the end time which begins "Jacob's Trouble".

So knowing that the last days (end time) is more than three and one half years (think 7), and knowing that the opening of the book of Daniel has opened understanding to more of the writings of the prophets, let's take a look at the writings of one called a "minor prophet" and his name was Habakkuk.  In verse 5 of chapter 1, he 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." 

In verse 3 of chapter 2, we read, "For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak…"  So we can see that this prophecy is for the end time (think 7 years). 

Keeping this in mind, let's cut to chapter 3, verse 2.  "O LORD, I have heard your speech (report) and was afraid:  O LORD, revive your work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known;"
(The New English Version has "…in the midst of the years make yourself known.") 

So does "…in the midst of the years", give us the setting?  The midst of what years?  (think 7).   So if the book of Daniel has been opened for some 3 years, then we are rapidly approaching the "…midst of the years", of the time of the end.  Are we within months of witnessing the Creator "…making Himself known"? 

Are we watching our incoming celestial visitors making course changes that are baffling the scientific world?  Are we watching as we approach the time when Damascus becomes a "…ruinous heap"?  Are we watching as the "…assembly of great nations", (Jeremiah 50:9) are stationing troops in America?  Are we watching as the Canary Islands super caldera begins to rumble?  This is the caldera that can send a killer tsunami to our east coast over 100 feet high and at the speed of a modern jet plane.  (Jeremiah 51:42). 

We are living in those last days mentioned in the book of Daniel and also in the book of Habakkuk.  It appears that we could come to the mid point of those years December of this (2013) year. 

We can hide our head in the sand and pretend this isn't happening, as we did when JFK was assassinated, as we did when the federal government massacred men, women and children in Waco, as we did when a "patsy" was executed for the Murrah Building bombing and as we did when the twin towers were brought down. 

We are just before the biggest false flag of all.  It will dwarf the twin towers (911) to insignificance.  It has already been scheduled at least twice and scrubbed because of leaks.  The real reason for scrubbing was because the "appointed time" of Daniel 11:35 has not arrived.  It will shortly and the chaos will be mind boggling. 

But this is not a message of gloom and doom, this is a message of deliverance of the world just as the nation of Israel was delivered from the Egyptians some 3500 years ago.  This is a message about an invasion from outer space coming to destroy the governments of Satan and set survivors free.  Which governments are the governments of Satan?  You can find the answer in the 4th chapter of the gospel of Luke. 

This is a message of deliverance from the nation of modern Babylon as it is in the process of total destruction.  You can find that message, of an exodus, in Isaiah 52, verses 10-12. Yes, there will be an exodus from America and it will be witnessed by "…all the nations," (verse 10).  Who will be included in that exodus?  Verse 6 should give us a clue.  Who will lead it?  Revelation 11 should give us a clue.  Where are we to exodus to?  Isaiah 29-34 should give us a clue. 

So you see, there is a plan for the preservation of those who can fit into a world government headed up by the Creator Himself.  It will not be a bloodless coup.  The Creator came to earth some 2000 years ago (see the gospel of John chapter 1) with an agenda of peace.  He was tried in a court of mens' law and crucified on a stake.  (The cross is Catholic myth).  This next appearance will be with an agenda the world rulers understand --- destruction (see Isaiah 63:1-4). 

You can see in Revelation 16:19 that the cities of the nations are to fall.  This society is to be destroyed right down to the foundations.  The world will be rebuilt without the bankers, lawyers, Jesuits, preachers, politicians, and all their support institutions.  Planet earth is about to undergo the biggest change since the days of Noah.  The biggest military reversal in all of recorded history will occur in the next few weeks or months.   

Few Americans seem to know (or want to know) that China already has satellites in space that can take out the electrical grid of America and render all vehicles with electronic ignition systems inoperable.  Cell phones also would be rendered inoperable.  We need to consider these things because they are already on the horizon. 

The "comets" are getting closer.  Pressure is building for our prez to issue an order for military intervention in Syria.  Our economic demise is at the door and the neutralizing of Israel's Iron Dome missile defense is being calculated as I write (Isaiah 22:8).  America and Israel will fall together (Hosea 5:5), and this will be the fall of  the most powerful of Satan's governments on earth.

Are we at the close of America as a nation?  Prophecy would seem to say we are.  It appears that the rest of Satan's governments will be brought to a close over the next three and one half years.  Israel will be taken out with America and the command center for the space invasion will be established at Jerusalem (Isaiah 31:4-5). 

We are looking at times just ahead (in the next few weeks and months) for which we have no reference points.  We are looking at the times spoken of in the book of Revelation.  The fourth seal of the 6th chapter will be opened at the time Damascus becomes a "ruinous heap" and a fourth of the inhabitants of planet earth will perish (see Revelation 6:8).  And that is only the beginning of the action to end the governments of Satan.  It gets progressively worse moving into the next three and one half years. 

It appears that a warning will be given to America as was given to ancient Babylon before the invasion of the Medo Persian army in which the acting king of Babylon (Belshazzar - see Daniel 5) was slain.  America is the modern Babylon that is to be destroyed in the end time (Revelation 18:16-21).  You can get the gory details of that destruction, and even see who the destroyers are, in Jeremiah 50-51.

We stand at the threshold of that destruction even as I write this.  The trigger event will be when we (or Israel) make a strike on Syria. 

We are not living in normal times and we need to come to terms with that concept.  The next few weeks and months are going to bring events we never dreamed we would see in America.  Already there are some 386,000 foreign troops on American soil and with the blessing of our federal government.  If you think they are here simply for training missions, then switch the channel back to a rerun of Gunsmoke, open another Budweiser and go back to sleep.  It will all be over before you wake. 

To those with the intestinal fortitude of warriors, as were the Israelites who leveled Jericho, there is an exodus from America coming as noted already in this article, and it will be to the Jerusalem area and you can get more of the details in Isaiah 29-34.  That will be the command center for the new government of planet earth and it will have some awesome protection.    It will be from there that the rest of Satan's governments will be dismantled and with the final coup-degrace being the earthquake felt worldwide as noted in Revelation 16:19 when the cities of the nations are leveled.  This is the taking out of, not only the governments of this world, but their support institutions as well.  It appears it will happen in this generation and it appears it will begin within weeks or months at most. 

This is simply a recap of things my regular readers have already learned and is for the benefit of those who have recently come across this blog that someone recently posted on Facebook. 

There are no appeals for donations, no invitation to join anything and no church associated with this work, nor will there be.  My opinion about churches is that they are the tool of Satan for the deception of the whole world as it says in Revelation 12:9.  Think about it!  

This communiqué is simply sharing some of the things that have been revealed to me in the past few months and years to allow you to see what is going on in the world today and where it is headed.  You need to come to realize that we have been lied to by our teachers, our ministers, our politicians and our historians.  e.g. "Columbus discovered America". To find the condemnation of our ministers, read Jeremiah 23, Ezekiel 34, Mal 2 and especially Isaiah 56:10-11.  If you can't see the basis for the condemnation of our politicians, you are blind.  If you can't see that the "Image of the beast", (4th beast of Daniel 7), mentioned in Revelation 13, is America, you have homework to do.

Our incoming celestial visitors are on a mission.  Those in high pos-itions of government know this and have been apprised of an invas-ion from outer space.  This is why they have built nuclear powered cities 2 miles underground in the U.S. at taxpayer's expense.  They feel they will be protected from the New World Government in these cities (called D.U.M.B.s, for Deep Underground Military Bases).  One hundred and thirty of these had been completed some 25 years ago.  For a perspective on these that the top politicos are not privy to, see Isaiah 24:21-22.  In order to see when their jurisdictional umbilical cord is cut, see Daniel 7:12-14. 

The new age is about to be ushered in with fireworks the likes of which the world has not seen to date.  The opening gun will be WW III but that will not be the finale.   That will be the beginning of Jacob's Trouble and the beginning of the destruction of Satan's governments.

That will be the beginning of the final three and one half years of this age.  Events in Jerusalem in the coming weeks should underscore this and put it into bold print. 

Diplomacy is not going to oust Assad!  That will take military action and when that action is launched, the gates of hell will be opened against America and Israel and both will cease to be nations within hours.  America will be evacuated and left a nuclear wilderness in a matter of one month (Hosea 5:7).  Our evacuation will be heralded as a humanitarian effort because of nuclear meltdowns on our east coast caused by the tsunami of Jeremiah 51:42, but the hidden agenda is that American survivors are being sold as slaves to the world (see Ezekiel 5). 

What you do with this information is entirely up to you. 


HOW DO YOU WORSHIP THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST?

The world is confused with all the religious jargon and especially that relating to the beast and his mark.  Do they know who this beast is? No.  Do they know what his mark consists of?  No.  And yet they fear it.  Fear is borne of ignorance.  We fear the dark because we can't see what's out there.  We fear the end of the world because that fear has been instilled in us by "fear religion".  We fear tomorrow because we don't know what it's going to bring.  We fear fear itself. 

So just where do we find the beast and the image of the beast today?
This is what the opening of the book of Daniel is about.  In chapter 2 of the book of Daniel (now opened), we find there are four world empires to rule the earth from Daniel's day on out to the end of the age.  The fact that these empires were to be world ruling has been pretty much wiped out of history and encyclopedias because it tends to put the spotlight on the identity of the beast. 

These four world ruling empires are dealt with again in the 7th chapter of Daniel, only there, they are portrayed as "beasts" which is the way Yahweh views men's governments.  If you read last week's Commentary, you saw, in the article entitled "Daniel", who these beasts were and are.  The fourth one is the Roman Empire and it still rules the world today, however, it has proxies doing its dirty work while the Empire pulls the strings from backstage.  The myth that the Roman Empire fell in 476 AD was injected into the history books by this beast the same year America became a nation.  It was put out in a masterpiece of deception entitled "The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire" by Edward Gibbon and was a smokescreen to hide the fact that America was a creation of the Vatican.  (See "Rulers of Evil" by F Tupper Saussy).  The Vatican was bequeathed "…all the power", of the Roman Empire, (see Revelation 13:12), presumably for the administration of the inquisition.  But the Vatican Navy, (Spanish Armada), was virtually destroyed by weather and English Sea Dogs when they tried to invade England in 1588.  The inquisition had to be put on hold until another navy could be built that could wrest control of the seas from England and move into a position of controlling the world.  Can we see the U.S. Navy fulfilling that role today?  Since America is built from the pattern of the Roman Empire, Caesar (called president), a senate which is a carbon copy of the Roman Senate, capitols after the pattern of the Roman Capitolium, and even an Empire State Building, does this not make us the "Image of the beast"? 

We see in Revelation 13 that the two horned beast (Vatican, verse 11) that persuaded the world to help in creating the image of the beast, had the "…power to give life unto the image of the beast."  (verse 15).  Is this "life blood" money?  Was it supplied by the Vatican owned world bank?  (See Judaica Encyclopedia, article Rothschilds, for Vatican ownership).

We can see in Revelation chapters 14, 15, 16, 19 and 20 the curses that follow the worship of the image of the beast, but how is it that we worship this image?

First, perhaps we should look at how Roman Citizens worshipped the beast, (Roman Empire, 4th beast of Daniel 7).  They attended the games sponsored by the Roman Government and cheered for their color.  You see the teams were identified by colored pennants.  Do we find any significance in the fact that our flag is called, in the various branches of the military, colors? 

Would it make sense that the image of the beast would train their citizens, at a very early age, to worship the image?  Could this be the pledge of allegiance learned in primary grades?  When you learn it that early, do you ever, at any juncture of your life, pause to look up the definition of the word allegiance?  We need to keep in mind that those who rule the world also have the power to edit history as well as encyclopedias and dictionaries to make them "politically correct".

We can see this by going back thru several editions of encyclopedias and/or dictionaries.  The oldest unabridged dictionary I ever owned had this definition of allegiance:  "The relationship between a serf and his lord."  If we are pledging our allegiance to a flag, I submit to you that is idolatry!   And before the next time that you are trapped by peer pressure into "pledging your allegiance", I simply ask you to go over that pledge in your mind, in private, and consider each line separately and think about what you are pledging.  Then make the determination, (without the peer pressure), whether or not you wish to continue this idolatrous practice.

When we attend the 4th of July festivities and celebrations, and we wave the flag and cheer the fireworks, are we worshipping the image of the beast?  When we fly the flag on our mailbox or on our front porch, are we worshipping the image of the beast? 

What games are sponsored by the image of the beast?  Elections?  When we cast our ballot, are we worshipping the image of the beast? 

This world is a crazy place because it is owned by Satan as he told Christ in Luke 4.  When we come to realize how deeply we are mired in it, we feel somewhat like Jeremiah when he was cast into the cesspool under Jonathan's house and up to his armpits in the "muck".  We don't learn all truth in one fell swoop nor do we come out of error in one giant step.  We find the roadmap for the way out in Isaiah 28, beginning in verse 9:  "Whom shall he teach knowledge and whom shall He make to understand doctrine?"  Continuing, we see that we learn "…precept upon precept … line upon line … here a little and there a little."  We only come out of the universal deception of this world one precious truth at a time.  The first step is admitting we have been lied to by those in positions of leadership and/or authority, whether that be our Sunday school teachers or our illustrious potentate. 

The time allotted for the world to try all the governments they could conceive of is rapidly running out.  We are at a crossroads and those options are about to be withdrawn as we see the invasion from outer space moving in to rescue planet earth.  Will we see the rulers of our planet saying, "Praise the LORD, we needed this"?  Or do we see them gearing up to do battle to hang onto their plush positions?  You can see in Zechariah 14 and Revelation 19 how that battle will go.  The two legs of King Nebuchadnezzar's dream image (Islam and Christianity), will be destroyed in the coming months and years and the world will be restored with a much diminished population and many professions obliterated.  Bankers, lawyers, politicians and preachers will not be found in our next generation.  The world economy will be rebuilt around agriculture and animal husbandry and the parasites of today's world will be exterminated.  Are we ready for this kind of transition?  It isn't going to be voted on and it isn't to be a brainchild of American politicians.  America will not be a nation when this age ends.  It will be a nuclear wilderness and 200 million alive today in America will be dead!  The final 100 million will be sold as slaves throughout the world.  (See Ezekiel 5).

The forest fires and flooding we are seeing in the western states is not happenstance.  The "comets" coming into our solar system, the imminent economic collapse, the pending military strike on Syria to appease the bankers and oil moguls --- are not coincidental.  These are the staircase to the depths of hell that awaits America when this military strike comes to fruition.  We can keep our heads in the sand and tell ourselves that this is Ramey speculation, but we are about to see things we haven't seen before and we are about to see the biggest military reversal in all of history.  It is written!

So what do we do --- liquidate assets and move to Bahrain?  Did you see how easily the ruling pirates of the world were able to confiscate the holdings of Mubarak of Egypt.  The bankers of the world simply turned his assets over to the ruling elite.  So if you move to another country, and are still an Israelite, it will be "open season" on you and any wealth you might be able to transfer to banks there.  So is there any way of escape?  Yes there is and you can find it in Isaiah 52:10-12.  The rest of the world is going to be a battleground and the last of the 5 quakes mentioned in the book of Revelation is to take down the "…cities of the nations".  Rev 16:19. The world is going to be a mess!

And it has to be that way in order to destroy the last vestiges of the governments of Satan so the world can be rebuilt in peace and harmony.

The crisis that is about to unfold is simply the fruits of idolatry ripening.  The survivors of this crisis will see quite clearly that the politicians of the world are merely opportunists riding a wave of public gullibility as they build thicker and taller firewalls to protect them-selves from the voting public.  Their solutions to problems are to pour taxpayer's money on them.  This gravy train is coming to an abrupt end and in this very generation.  I am convinced that it will also be in this very administration.  We need to get our bearings as to where we are in the stream of time and the book of Daniel is the best place to start.  May your studies be productive and your life preserved.

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…"  Hosea 4:6


RACISM

IS OUR PRESIDENT RACIST?

First, perhaps we should define the term "racism" so we are all working from the same sheet of music.  My Grolier's dictionary defines racism as:

"The notion that one's own ethnic group is superior."

Now, rather than put words in someone's mouth, let's let our Chief answer the question posed in the title of this article in his own words in publications put out for the world to read.

From "Dreams From My Father":
"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."

"I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."

"There was something about her that made me wary, a little too sure of herself, maybe and white."

"It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."

"I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself:   the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela."


And FINALLY ...... and most scary, from "Audacity of Hope":

"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
