COMMENTARY & OPINION
SPECIAL FAIRY TALE

THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES
by
Hans Christian Anderson

Many years ago, there lived an emperor who was so devoted to fine new clothes that he spent all his money on elegant attire.  He took no interest whatsoever in the army, nor did he care to attend the theater or take carriage rides through the country, unless of course, it meant that he could show off his new clothes.  He had different garments for every hour of the day, and, just as you usually say of a king, "He is sitting in council", so it was always said of this emperor, "He's in the dressing room right now!"

There were plenty of diversions in the city where the emperor lived.  Strangers were always coming and going and one day two swindlers arrived in the city.  They claimed to be weavers and said that they knew how to weave the very finest fabrics imaginable!  Not only were the colors and designs they created unusually attractive, but the clothes made from their fabrics also had the unique characteristic of turning invisible to anyone who was unfit for his job or hopelessly stupid. 

"I say!  Those must be wonderful clothes!" thought the emperor.  "If I had some like that, I could tell which officials were unfit for their posts, and I would also be able to distinguish the wise ones from the foolish ones.  Yes I must have some of that fabric woven for me at once."  And he paid the swindlers a large sum of money so that they could get to work right away.

The swindlers assembled a couple of looms and pretended to be working, though there was absolutely nothing on their looms.  They shrewdly demanded the most delicate silk and the finest gold thread, which they promptly stowed away in their own bags.  Then they worked far into the night on their empty looms. 

"Well, now, I wonder how the weavers are getting on with their work," the emperor asked himself.  But on one point he began to feel some anxiety, namely that someone who is stupid or unfit for his post would never be able to see what was being woven.  Not that he had any fears about himself --- he felt quite confident on that score --- but all the same it might be better to send someone else out first, to see how things were progressing.  Everyone in the city had heard about the fabric's mysterious power, and they were all eager to determine the incompetence or stupidity of their neighbors..

"I will send my able prime minister to the weavers," the emperor thought.  "He's the obvious choice to inspect the cloth, for he has plenty of good sense, and no one is better qualified for his post than he."

So off went the able minister to the workshop where the two swindlers were working with all their might at the empty looms.  "Lord bless my soul", thought the minister, with eyes starting out from his head, "Why, I can't see a thing!"

The two swindlers begged him to take a closer look --- didn't he find the colors and designs attractive!  They pointed at the empty frames, but although the poor minister opened his eyes wider and wider, he couldn't see a thing, for there was nothing there. "Good Lord!" he thought, "Is it possible that I'm an idiot?  I never once suspected it, and I mustn't let on that it is a possibility.  Can it be that I'm unfit for my office?  No, it will never do for me to confess that I can't see the fabric."

"Well, what do you think of it?" asked the chap who was pretending to be weaving. 

"Oh, it's enchanting!  Quite exquisite!" said the old minister, peering over his spectacles.  "What a pattern and what coloring!  I shall report to the emperor without delay how pleased I am with it." 

"Ah, we shall be much obliged to you," said the imposers, and they described the colors and extraordinary design in detail.  The old minister listened attentively so that he would be able to repeat their account when he returned to the emperor --- which he duly did.

The swindlers demanded more money, more silk, and more gold thread, which they needed to continue weaving.  They put it all in their pockets --- not a thread was put on the loom --- while they went on working the empty frames as before.

After a while the emperor sent a second official to see how the weaving was getting on and whether the cloth would soon be ready.  What had happened to the minister also happened to him.  He looked as hard as he could, but since there was nothing there but an empty loom, he couldn't see a thing.

"There, isn’t this first-rate work?" said the swindlers, as they pointed out the beauty of the design, which didn't even exist.

"I know I'm not stupid," thought the man.  "That can only mean that I'm not fit for my position.  Some people will find that funny, so I'd better make sure it doesn't get out."  And so he praised the cloth he could not see and declared that he was delighted with its enchanting hues and beautiful design.  "Yes, it's quite exquisite," he said to the emperor, when he returned. 

The splendid fabric became the talk of the town.  And now the emperor himself wanted to see it while it was still on the loom.  Accompanied by a select group of people, including the two old officials who had already been there, he went to see the loom.  The two crafty swindlers were weaving for all they were worth without using a bit of thread.

"Look, isn't it magnificent?"  said the two trustworthy officials.  "If your majesty will but take a look.  What a splendid design!  What glorious colors!"  And they pointed at the empty loom, feeling certain that all the others could see the cloth.

"What's this?" thought the emperor.  "I can't see a thing!  This is appalling!  Am I stupid?  Am I unfit to be emperor?  This is the worst thing that could happen to me…"

"Oh, it's quite enchanting!"  he said to them.  "It has our most gracious approval."  And he gave a satisfied nod, as he inspected the empty loom.  He wasn't about to say that he couldn't see anything.  The courtiers who had come with him looked as hard as they could, but they could not see any better than the others.  Still, they all said exactly what the emperor had said:  "Oh, it's quite enchanting!"  They advised him to have some clothes made from this splendid new fabric and to wear them for the first time in the grand parade that was about to take place. "Magnificent!"  "Delightful!"  "Superb!"  were the words bandied about.  Everyone was highly pleased with the weaving.  The emperor knighted each of the two swindlers and gave them badges to wear in their buttonholes, along with the title "Imperial Weaver".

On the eve of the parade, the rogues sat up all night with something like sixteen lighted candles.  People could see how busy they were finishing the emperor's new clothes.  They pretended to remove the cloth from the loom, snipped away at the air with huge scissors, and stitched with needles that had no thread. Then at last they announced, "There!  The emperor's clothes are ready at last!"

The emperor, with his most distinguished courtiers, went in person to the weavers, who each stretched out an arm as if holding something and said: "Just look at these trousers!  Here is the jacket!  This is the cloak." And so on.  "They are all as light as spider webs.  You can hardly tell you are wearing anything --- that's the virtue of this delicate cloth."

"Yes, indeed,d" the courtiers declared.  But they were unable to see a thing, for there was absolutely nothing there.

"Now, will Your Imperial Majesty kindly remove your clothes?" said the swindlers.  "Then we can fit you with the new ones, over there in front of the tall mirror."

So the emperor took off the clothes he was wearing, and the swindlers pretended to hand him each of the new garments they claimed to have made, and they held him at the waist as if they were fastening something on … it was his train.  And the emperor twisted and turned in front of the mirror. 

"Goodness!  How splendid His Majesty looks in the new clothes. What a perfect fit!" they all exclaimed.  "What a cut!  What colors! What sumptuous robes!"

The master of ceremonies came in with an announcement.  "The canopy for the parade is ready and waiting for Your Majesty."

"I am quite ready," said the emperor.  "Don't these clothes fit well?"  And he turned around one last time in front of the mirror, for he really had to make them all believe that he was gazing at this fine clothes.

The chamberlains who were supposed to carry the train groped around on the floor as if they were picking it up.  As they walked, they held out their hands, not daring to let on that they couldn't see anything.

The emperor marched in the parade under the beautiful canopy, and everyone in the streets and at the windows said: "Goodness!  The emperor's new clothes are the finest he has ever worn.  What a beautiful train!  What a perfect fit!"  They would not let on that there was nothing at all to see, because that would have meant they were unfit for their jobs or very stupid.  Never had the emperor's clothes made such a great impression.

"But the emperor has nothing at all on!"  a little child declared.

"Goodness gracious!  Did you hear the voice of that innocent child?" cried the father.  And the child's remark was whispered from one person to the next.

"He really isn't wearing anything at all!  There's a child here who says that he hasn't got anything on."

"Yes, he isn't wearing anything at all!" the people shouted at last.  And the emperor felt very uncomfortable, for it seemed to him that everyone was right.  But somehow he thought to himself: "I must go through with it now, parade and all.  And he drew himself up all the more proudly, while his chamberlains walked after him carrying a train that wasn't there.

THE END


Has anyone noticed the Emperor isn't wearing any clothes?

The emperor stands naked before the whole world as one that is desperate for a war to save him from the wrath of the bankers.

That war will begin in all it's fury when Damascus falls by whomever's hands.

But the emperor's time will have run out --- and so will America's and Israel's.

Some of the bankers have already paid for their crimes with their lives --- evidently at the hands of their own.  The rest will follow in the near future. 

It appears we are within weeks (if not days) of the biggest military reversal in recorded history.  It is written!

COMMENTARY & OPINION SPECIAL REPORT

COMMENTARY & OPINION
SPECIAL REPORT


Greetings friends,

Momentous events are taking place around the globe and this report is to show you some of these events.  First I want to show you a letter from Bonnie and she has invited comments from readers.  My comment is very brief and if any of you have insight on this matter, I invite you to share it with us. 

Hi,

I have been reading the whole chapter of Isaiah 17 over again and I've been wondering particularly about these last 3 verses in the chapter. I wonder what your thoughts are on the "timing of these events being described" in verses 12-14?  I have been thinking about the wording and it seems to me that these events may be a bit later then what we know has happened in the first verses of Isaiah 17:1-4.  All of readers of the C & O's know the events which have taken place or shall in the near future. When Damascus becomes a ruinous heap and no longer a city - destroyed.  Following, shortly on the heels of that comes the destruction of both Israel and Ephraim (head of the northern tribes)/ America. This is confirmed by Hosea 5:5 - "Israel's arrogance testifies against them.  

Both Israel and Ephraim stumble because of their wickedness; even Judah will stumble with them." We have learned that all of this kicks off the beginning of Jacob's Trouble/Great Tribulation to continue on for the last 3 and 1/2 years of the 7-year period which we know began in early February 2011. It's also the "Day of Yahweh's " wrath.

In verses 7 and 8 the people have a change of heart because they look to the Creator, the Holy One of Israel. And, they will at last not look at altars made with their hands, or other false gods like Asherahs, etc.

Finally, we come to verses 12-14. In my Holman Study Bible it has been given a title, "Judgment against the Nations".  That's why I was wondering about the timing of these verses here. When does it take place?  Evidently, there are people in Israel at this point. Would it be those "chosen ones" who have been rescued previously prior to the start of Jacob's Trouble?

I will quote the scriptures here from the Holman, then the NLT, and finally the English. What I notice about them is that "HE" has to mean Yahweh/Yahshua at work here. And, also, what caught my attention was verse 14 because it gives us another clue as to how quickly things can be done and turned around to save His people.

The situation looks real dire in the evening and then before the morning --- it is gone!

Holman: Isaiah 17: 12-14 says, Ah! The roar of many peoples--- they roar like the roaring of the seas. The raging of the nations--- they rage like the raging of mighty waters.          
(13) The nations rage like the raging of many waters. HE rebukes them, and they flee far away, driven before the wind like chaff on the hills and like dead thistles before a gale.
(14) In the evening --- sudden terror! Before morning----it is gone!!! This is the fate of those who plunder us and the lot of those who ravage us.
NLT: Isa. 17: 12-14 says, Listen! The armies of many nations roar like the roaring of the sea. Hear the thunder of the mighty forces as they rush forward like thundering waves.
(13) - But though they thunder like breakers on a beach, GOD (Yahweh) will silence them, and they will run away. They will flee like chaff scattered by the wind, like a tumbleweed whirling before a storm.
(14) In the evening Israel waits in terror, but by dawn its enemies are dead. This is the just reward of those who plunder us, a fitting end for those who destroy us.
New English: Isaiah 17:12-14 - The many nations massing together are as good as dead, those who make a commotion as loud as the roaring of the sea's waves. The people making such an uproar are as good as dead, those who make an uproar as loud as the roaring of powerful waves. 
(13) Though these people make an uproar as loud as the roaring of powerful waves, when He (Yahweh) shouts at them, they will flee to a distant land, driven before the wind like dead weeds on the hills, or like dead thistles before a strong gale.
(14) In the evening there is sudden terror; by morning they vanish. This is the fate of those who try to plunder us, the destiny of those who try to loot us!!!
I would appreciate your comments or thoughts on this or from any of the readers.


Ramey comments:

Rather than give you a long winded commentary on this, I'm going to refer you to Isaiah 29 which I feel expands on this   The difference is that Isaiah 17 is addressing it from a Damascus perspective as you can see in the first line of the first verse.  Isaiah 29 approaches from the perspective of "Ariel" which some versions give as Jerusalem

What I feel we need to focus on right now is Germany opting out on the dollar and have asked for accelerated entry into the BRICS banking system.  And we need also to be aware of why they are doing it.  The downing of MH17 and asking them to take part in the lies to make it appear the blood was on Putin's hands was the final straw. Of course there is much more to it than that but evidently that was the final deciding factor. 

Could anything be plainer?  Look at the direction Germany is from the U.S.   Now look at Russia!  Now look at Daniel 11:44!!!!!


Here is Russia's coverage of the event.


Shock German Move To Russia Spells Obama Doom

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A shocking new report prepared by the Ministry Of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) circulating in the Kremlin today states that Germany’s Federal Foreign Office (FFO) contacted Moscow this week requesting an accelerated membership course for their joining the BRICS economic community as they plan to leave the European Union (EU), a move Russian experts said would “spell doom” to the Obama regimes “dream of empire”.

BRICS is the acronym for an association of five major emerging national economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa and as of 2013, the five BRICS countries represent almost 3 billion people with a combined nominal GDP of US$16.039 trillion and an estimated US$4 trillion in combined foreign reserves.  As of 2014, the BRICS nations represented 18 percent of the world economy.

Opposing BRICS is a global financial system organized by the West and dominated by the US which forces nations to conduct their international business in the unstable US dollar, making their economies swing back and forth with the winds of policy crafted in Washington , D.C. , and New York City .

The West has ceded influence in institutions like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) only grudgingly, and to the BRICS, today’s financial system is out of touch with the changing times, and ill-suited to support the world’s up-and-coming economic titans.

According to this report, Germany became “alarmed” this week after the Obama regime ordered the EU to “ignore and not comment on” the evidence provided by Russia relating to the Malaysian Airlines 17 flight shot down over Ukraine last week proving it was a “deliberate action” ordered by Kiev officials with CIA involvement. 

German intelligence sources, this report continues, confirm their US counterpart’s assessment that Russia had no involvement in the downing of this aircraft and further confirm that the Obama regimes case using YouTube videos and Tweets to blame Russia is “unraveling like a cheap sweater” under the increasing realization that dubious social media-sourced evidence is essentially all there is.

Most damning about the Obama regime accusations against Russia relating to the downing of MH-17, this report says, were German intelligence confirmations that these same YouTube videos and Tweets seeking to prove Russian involvement have proven to be “manipulated and, instead, prove Ukrainian military forces were to blame.

Important to note, MoFA experts in this report say, is that Germany in knowing of the coming showdown between the Obama regime and Russia, had secretly planned to join the BRICS nations economic bloc in 2011 when its Bundesbank (Central Bank of Germany) demanded a full repatriation of Germany's entire US$141 billion gold reserve from the US Federal Reserve where it was stored.

On 24 June 2014, this report continues, Germany was forced to give up on its plan to repatriate its gold from the US after being told by the Obama regime that it would only get its gold back in seven years, clearly showing that the US central banking cartel did something nefarious with the metal it had been entrusted to safeguard.

In countering the Obama regimes move, however, this report says, Germany withheld from being converted into Euros over US13 billion worth of its former currency Deutsche Marks, and since 2011 have had their printing presses working overtime printing more.

Making Germany’s move to BRICS and away from the Obama regime even more urgent, this report warns, are the Americans planned attack on the Bundesbank similar to their one on France’s largest bank BNP Paribas that was punished with a US$9 billion legal fee after France refused to cancel the Mistral warship shipment to Russia, and which promptly led Banque de France (French National Bank) head Christian Noyer to warn that “the days of the US Dollar as a reserve currency are numbered”.

Agreeing with Noyer, this report says, is Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff who stated last week at the start of the seventh summit of the BRICS nations that the five big emerging economies “are moving toward a new global architecture”; an economic structure Germany desperately needs as the “boomerang effect” of the Obama regimes sanctions on Russia are beginning to destroy the Germany economy.

Equally as critical behind Germany ’s move to join BRICS, this report says, was the Obama regimes CIA spy ring uncovered spying on top German officials causing Germany to order the CIA station chief in Berlin to leave their country.

So alarmed has Germany become over the Obama regimes spying on them, Russian intelligence experts in this report say, their top government officials are now forced to store their smartphones and tablet computers when sensitive discussions take place, and typewriter sales are now surging in Germany too as CIA/NSA fears are forcing even of the most common of people to keep their secrets safe.

As to the American people themselves being aware of the catastrophically dangerous West-East struggle for global economic supremacy now ongoing, and with each passing day is leading to open conflict, this report doesn’t say.

However, in a recent poll conducted by Politico, it found that most Americans aren’t paying the least bit of attention to the war propaganda coming out of Washington…a deliberate ignorance they will surely pay for much sooner than later.

COMMENTARY & OPINION XCV - PRECEPTS

From the desk of

COMMENTARY & OPINION
XCV

PRECEPTS

Greetings friends,

In a recent Commentary, I mentioned a long time friend in California and said that I admired his diplomatic persistence while turning right-side-up some of my preconceived notions.  I think it's worth pursuing one of those incidents because I feel it holds a powerful lesson in learning to do our own thinking. 

There were three of us, two Bills and one John and we had breakfast together once a week for years.  The conversations were the "no holds barred" type and no topics were off limits.  Not even religion and politics.  The conversations got quite spirited at times (sometimes commanding the attention of nearby tables) and when an idea was presented that we could not come to an agreement on, it was tabled for the time until we could swap documentation on the part in dispute.  No motives were questioned or attributed and much information was shared between us in experience, education, reading material, video tapes, etc. 

One morning we met for breakfast as usual but Bill had a book in his hand which he slid across the table to me and said, "If I give you this book, will you read it?"  I looked at the title and the author and saw that it was "My Awakening" by David Duke.  I slid it back across the table to him and said, "I don't need to read it.  I know who David Duke is and what he stands for." 

He slid the book back to me while looking me in the eye and said, "Can you just forget what you have heard about him and read the book?"  He was waiting for an answer and to have refused to read the book would have been tantamount to judging it without knowing what was in it.  So I took the book and said, "OK, I'll read it."

I look back at that as one of the better decisions of my life, because I felt quite sure that I knew who David Duke was and what he stood for.  As I began to read the book, I realized that my opinion of David Duke had come totally from the media.  The Jewish Defense League has painted Duke with anti-semitism and since the media is almost totally Jewish owned, they inject it into the news articles at every opportunity when they have a target that poses a threat to the many mythical balloons they are trying to keep aloft. 

As I read articles gleaned from the library of congress, especially letters from General Overby (assigned to Russia during the Russian Revolution) to Woodrow Wilson during the time our histories refer to as the Russian Revolution, I learned that the Russian Revolution was the take-over of Russia by "Jews" ("…those who say they are Jews and are not but do lie"  Revelation 3:9) trained in America for that mission with their final training in Switzerland.  Leon Trotsky's name was Levy Bronstein when he lived in New York

It began to dawn on me why it was so important for the JDL to brand David Duke as anti-semitic and smear his name all across the world.

Why?  Because the truth that he dug out makes Hitler look like a piker by comparison to what the "Jews" did to Christians after murdering the Czar and his family.  The "Jews" make a lot of noise about 6 million of theirs being exterminated by Hitler in WW II and it comes at us from so many angles that few question the numbers and whether or not the stories are true. 

For the time being let's accept those numbers as a true account but while we are accepting this, let's also take a look at the numbers of Christians purged in Russia by the "Jews" once they gained control of the government there.  There are few that will believe the numbers even if they do their own research.  The denial is akin to that of the JFK murder.  We wanted to believe that it was done by a lone gunman and that he was dead --- case closed.  And the real perpetrators were ever so anxious to reinforce that belief.  Many events have happened since that time that Americans are still in denial over and these include Ruby Ridge, Waco massacre, Oklahoma City bombing,  911 and the many staged shootings in America. 

The number of Christians purged in Russia by --- "…those who say they are Jews and are not but do lie"--- exceeded 25 million!

We need to seriously question where we get our precepts.  The Jewish/Catholic Confederacy (which I have shown exists in past Commentaries) is made up of masters of deception.  Most of our past religious training has come from one or both.  Our schools teach myths for history.  Our society and our nation are built on a base of lies. Revelation 12:9 says Satan has deceived the whole world.  Are we aware that the granddaddy of those deceptions, which is one of the best kept secrets in the world today, is that America is the image of the Roman beast which is the fourth beast of Daniel 7.  The story of how America is a creation of the Vatican is told by the late F Tupper Saussy in a book entitled "Rulers of Evil".

It is far too late to wake America but we need to be aware of these things so that we do not join those "…destroyed for lack of knowledge."  (Hosea 4:6). 

Due to the downing of a Malaysian Jetliner this past week, it would seem the preparations for war are ramping up at warp speed.  Our prez and members of congress are pointing fingers at Putin even before the investigation gets underway.  It's a propaganda campaign filled with lies and innuendos.  It's more of "Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and Arab Spring."  It smells of Lusitania, Pearl Harbor and 911 all rolled into one. 

It also begins to appear that the intended target of that missile was Putin's plane which was in that same airspace just 37 minutes after the Malaysian plane was downed.  At 33,000 feet, even with binoculars, the two planes look very much alike. 

I sincerely believe we need to prepare for what we know is coming ---  And it isn't going to be next year! 


WHO WOULD SHOOT DOWN A PASSENGER PLANE?

Are we capable of doing our own thinking on this matter or are we going to leave it to CNN, NBC, FOXX, etc, to analyze it and tell us what to think?

This seems to be a "no brainer".  Who stands to gain by this tragedy?  Perhaps we should first look for motives.  Would the "separatists" in the Ukraine gain by taking down a commercial airline?  The motive (if we can rule out the moronic motives of personal vendettas of the Clinton administration), would appear to be to create a tidal wave of emotion internationally.  The kind of emotion that triggers world wars.  We can be sure that the perpetrators would be on the receiving end of international condemnation. 

Therefore, one would logically assume that the event was triggered by someone who felt they had an open and shut case for blaming someone else.  It would be perpetrated by someone who already had their ducks in a row with bureaucratic experts prepared to appear on TV showing conclusively who was to blame and why. The stories would have been "word smithed" for months.   It would be an incredible array of lies coordinated to appear as rock bottom truth. 

It would be perpetrated by someone who had an interest in promoting war.  Who could that be?  Could it be the same rogue nation that was looking for a road to Iran through Syria?  Did they have to take a detour through Iraq because Russia got in the way?

Are we seeing the games played in international politics or are we being "…destroyed for lack of knowledge"?  (Hosea 4:6). 

The world is at a crossroads.  We are just before the biggest military reversal in all of recorded history.  We have witnessed our prez turning the wealth of America over to the bankers and Muslim and has spent like a drunken sailor on his junkets.  He has armed the Muslim that are sworn to the destruction of America and Israel.  He has spawned a new dirty word in the American vocabulary and that is Obamacare.  We watch the beginning of the mass exodus from the medical profession with trepidation.  Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Mo, just laid off 165 employees.  Is this the beginning of the exodus?  Is it the groundwork for martial law?

Something that should make all of us shudder is that our chief is to take a 15 day vacation beginning in August!  Is this to be the time when the nukes fly? 

Could it be the order to take down the passenger plane came from the Oval Office?  Will we see a panel of experts from the FBI, CIA and TSA on CNN, NBC and FOXX tying this atrocity irrefutably to the "separatists" in the Ukraine?   And perhaps even implicating Russia?

We will have our war.  The bankers demand it.  And it will be our last one!  We don't win this one.  It is written!


DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA

How many Americans are aware of what is to befall our nation in the coming weeks?  Virtually none.  And I do not expect to awaken them with this short article.  You see, the fate of our nation was laid out millennia ago by the prophets --- but who understands what the prophets have said and who believes it?  Again, virtually no one.

I have studied what the prophets have said for over 50 years and just in the past decade, some of it is beginning to sink in.  I believe the full weight of it descended on me in February of 2011 when I was shown, by NATO action in Egypt and Libya, that the book of Daniel, sealed at the time of writing, (see Daniel 12:4 & 9), had been opened and that this NATO action was the fulfillment of Daniel 11:42-43. 

I had learned many years before, from another prophet named Isaiah, just who it is that would be taught of Him and made to understand doctrine.  Chapter 28, verse 9 says, "Whom shall He teach knowledge and whom shall He make to understand doctrine?  Them that are weaned from the milk and drawn from the breasts."  In other words, people who are mature --- not children. 

He then goes on to show how those who have matured enough to listen will be taught.  Verse 10:  "For precept must be upon precept … line upon line … here a little and there a little."   He shows why it must be this way in verse 13, "…that they might go, and fall backward and be broken and snared and taken."  So you see, not everyone who determines to understand scripture is given that understanding, and we can see this more plainly in II Corinthians 3:14-15 and 4:4. 

There is considerably more involved than walking down the sawdust trail, giving your heart to the Lord and your wallet to the preacher.  We must develop (and demonstrate) a love of the truth as we can see in II Thessalonians chapter 2.  Otherwise the Creator Himself will give us delusions to believe lies.  That's what it says!  Santa and the Easter bunny are not a demonstration of the love of truth.

In the above referenced II Corinthians 4:4, we see that the god of this world is Satan.  He invented religion for the purpose of the deception of the whole world and we can see in Revelation 12:9 that it has been successful.  And Christ (whose name was not Jesus) did not come to bring yet another religion.  You can find his message in Mark 1:14.  So did he come to bring peace?  Some people teach that, but He is quoted in Luke 12:51 as saying He came rather to bring division.  Do we have enough "…love of truth" to accept this? 

Those who claim to be prophets (or ministers) of the Most High are telling us that the little counterfeit nation of Israel is the remnant of Israel of old and that their state is a fulfillment of prophecy.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  This is the myth concocted by those mentioned by Christ in Revelation 3:9 as "…those who say they are Jews and are not but do lie."  In order to understand the prophets, one has to be able to locate Israel today.  There are books written that will aid in this endeavor because the ones available in the 1800s were taken out of print before the turn of the century.  The Israeli author, Yair Davidy, has written a book entitled "Israel" which does a fair job of locating the tribes today.  Another is "The Lost Ten Tribes --- Found" by Steven Collins.  Both have a number of errors in their work but are on target for the most part.  Another aid in this search is Genesis 49.  It gives us a thumbnail sketch of the character of the nations that will grow out of the tribes of Israel.  These are nations in the world today.

In order to understand prophecy, we need to understand that Aram is Syria today.  Elam is modern Persia or Iran today. The Medes that were confederate with the Persians in the conquest of ancient Babylon were Russians.  (Offspring of Madai who settled in the region we call Russia today.  See Genesis 10 and the works of Josephus.)  We need to know that America is a creation of the Vatican (as is Israel) and a study of the book of Habakkuk in several different versions should convince us that America is the Babylon mentioned in that book.  America is the Babylon mentioned in the book of Revelation chapter 18 that is to be destroyed "…in one hour".  For details of this destruction, you can go to Jeremiah chapters 50-51 where we are called the daughter of Babylon.  For a condensed version of this destruction, see Isaiah 13. 

We see this destruction looming today in the breakdown of diplomacy between the U.S. and the world.  We see it in a Yellowstone caldera that appears on the verge of blowing.  We see it in the proliferation of nuclear weapons that are now falling into the hands of terrorists.  We see it in the words of the prophets that very few understand although many claim to understand and will use much flowery rhetoric in ex-pounding it to you. 

So what is in store for America and when can we expect it?  This, my friends is the best kept secret in the universe.  Even more so than the secret of America being the image of the Roman Beast which is alluded to in Revelation 13.  When Christ was walking the earth in the flesh, He said, "Of that day and hour, no one knows except my Father in heaven."  Take careful note of what He did not say.  He did not say no one will know before it happens!  And we can see in I Thessalonians 5:1-4 that there evidently will be an inner circle that knows that day before it occurs. 

Some will take me to task and say I'm confusing the destruction of the U.S. with the Day of the Lord --- but no, I am not.  These are the same events as you should be able to see if you check the referenced scriptures.  Isaiah 13 makes this quite clear. 

So just what is it we should expect?  First we should know that the God we like to picture as the "limp wristed hippie" with a weak smile, is as phony as the counterfeit name Jesus.  If you want a picture of Christ without violating #2 of the ten commandments, then read Revelation chapter 4.  He truly is a God of love but He is also a God of wrath and we can see this in Isaiah 30:27.  "Behold, the name of the LORD comes from far, burning with his anger and the burden thereof is heavy:  His lips are full of indignation and his tongue as a flaming fire."

This is not understood by religionists but the day of the LORD is the day of America's destruction.  We begin to see it in Isaiah 13:9.  "Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate:  and He shall destroy the sinners out of it."  Who are these sinners that will be destroyed out of the land?  Let's see if we can use the principle alluded to in Isaiah 28 and learn something here.  ("Precept upon precept … line upon line…")

In the book of Daniel, he is given several messages by an angel to record for the edification of those living in the time of the end when those prophecies would be opened for understanding --- but not for everyone.  That angel showed Daniel, in chapter 12, verse 9, that this information was sealed "…till the time of the end".  Continuing in verse 10 we begin to see who it is that will understand it when it is opened.  "Many shall be purified and made white and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand."

It would seem that the angel is dividing the end time world into only two camps --- the wise and the wicked.  Your understanding of the book of Daniel (or lack thereof) should make it clear which of these two camps you are positioned in. 

And many will protest saying, "But we are a Christian Nation".  Yes we are but do you know where Christianity came from?  Let me give you a hint.  It didn't come from Christ.  Christianity equals idolatry and you can find the origins of the Christianity of America and Europe in only one publication that I am aware of.  It is the "History of Civilization" by Will and Ariel Durant.  As I recall, the origin of Christianity is found in volume III of this 10 volume work. 

In chapter 13 of Isaiah, alluded to above, we saw the day of the LORD being introduced with "…wrath and fierce anger", in verse 9.  The very next verse says, "… the sun will be darkened in his going forth".

This is not an eclipse and we are not told how long this darkness will last.  In the time just preceding the exodus of the ancient Israelites from Egypt, the sun was darkened for three days. 

And speaking of Egypt, we can see in Isaiah 52:10-12 that there is to be also an exodus from the end time Babylon (America) and it will be witnessed by the nations. Let's take it from the New English Version because it makes it plainer than the KJ.
Verse 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 salvation of our God. 
11  "Away 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."  
If you read the verses just prior to these you will see this is not for ancient Israel but rather, as verse 11 shows, for the end time Babylon.  Verse 12 shows it will not be in urgent haste and not as fugitives.  So evidently it will be a day of business as usual --- and just before the hammer falls on America.

And what gets the attention of "…all nations"?  Military action.  Will America lose a significant part of it's air power in an attempt to block this exodus?  The only precedent I know to relate it to is the Egyptian loss of a 600,000 man military when they tried to block the exodus of  the Israelites from Egypt.  We can see in Zechariah 14 that the weaponry of the Creator makes ours look like stone age. 

When we look at all the dire warnings of the prophets, such as the ones in Isaiah that say we have angered the Supreme Sovereign of the universe with our robbery of nations (see Habakkuk), and that He is coming in a fury and when we see the prophet Daniel say it is going to be a time of trouble "…such as was not since there was a nation, no, nor ever shall be again…"  Perhaps we should sit up and take notice. 

When we see in Isaiah that the sun will be "…darkened in his going forth"; when we see in Jeremiah 51:42 that the "…sea is come up upon Babylon";  when we see in Ezekiel 5 that a third of Israel is to die of famine and pestilence (starvation and pandemics), and we see those seeds being planted in the U.S. by the hoards crossing our southern border, can we begin to realize that we are in the last days?

But can we know that we are in the last days or "time of the end"?  Yes we can.  As already noted, the book of Daniel was sealed until the time of the end (Daniel 12:4 & 9).  At the time of the end it was to be opened to the understanding of a few.  So when we saw in Feb of 2011 the playout of Daniel 11, verses 42-43, this was the opening of the book of Daniel and the beginning of the seven year "end time". 

If you go to the book of Habakkuk and study it carefully, you will see, in chapter 1, a rogue nation called Babylon that runs roughshod over the nations of the world, raping, robbing, murdering and none could stand up to this nation.  In chapter 2 you can see the indictment of this nation by the Creator and chapter 3 (final chapter) brings the "end time" and the demise of this nation.  If you look in chapter 3, verse 2, you will see that "…in the midst of the days" --- what days?

The time of the end --- there is to be a significant event.  The Creator is to make Himself known!  He will make Himself known with the destruction of Babylon.  Is it coincidence that New Yorkers call their city "Babylon on the Hudson"? 

How long is the "end time"?  It is seven years.  How do we know this?

We know it because it began in Feb 2011 and yet the time of Jacob's trouble has not yet begun.  The time of Jacob's trouble is defined as three and one half years or 1260 days.  If we add three and one half years to the time since the book of Daniel was opened, it brings us to the first week in August of 2014!  The time of Jacob's trouble begins with the biggest military reversal in recorded history.  That is the destruction of America.

So is there an important date in the first week in August?  Ah yes!  We find the 9th of Av on August 4 according to the Jewish calendar.  This was the date both the first and second temples were destroyed.  Does it hold any significance for us today?  We shall not have to wait long to see.

I know this has been somewhat of a whirlwind tour of the prophets and there are some we haven't even mentioned.  It will not be easily understood especially if you are a student of, or a member of, one of this world's religions. 

But given just the scriptures quoted here (and there are many more), you can see it is going to be an awful time and you can see by world news that it is at our doorstep. 

Surely you are aware of the intentional provocation of war that the U.S. has precipitated in the Ukraine.  Surely you are aware of the Israeli satellite shot down by the U.S. over Australia.  Surely you are aware of the world financial crisis that is threatening to collapse the economies of the world.  Surely you are aware of the collapsed magnetic field over the U.S.

Try to envision the sun going dark as it rises over the U.S. and a couple of hours later a 100 feet high tsunami hits our east coast (Jer 51:42).  Suppose the darkness lasts for three days.  Just suppose the Yellowstone caldera blows at this time also.  It goes without saying that the time of Jacob's trouble (and America's destruction) will be touched off with the first of five earthquakes mentioned in the book of Revelation that evidently will be felt world wide.  This quake is noted in Revelation 6 as the opening of the 6th seal.  Islands disappear and mountains are leveled.  America will be without electrical power.  No markets will be open.  No fuel will be delivered.  Looting will be rampant.  Cannibalism will begin after the first week.  (See Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28). 

Two hundred twenty million Americans will die and one hundred ten million will be sold as slaves throughout the world. 

Because of meltdowns in nuclear power plants on our east coast precipitated by the tsunami, (and probably on our west coast precipitated by the earthquake), America will become a nuclear wasteland.  There will be no occupational forces after the initial looting and selling of survivors for collateral on debts owed to the "…assembly of great nations" that eat our lunch.  (See Jeremiah 50:9). 

This is not a message I delight in delivering but it has to go out and I see no one else even hinting at what is about to befall America

And for the sake of those who have missed the first coverage of the message to survivors, I will not print it out again in this Commentary but I will refer you to where you can get the information.  You will find it in the book of Leviticus in chapter 26.  Read the whole chapter but pay particular attention to verses 32 through 46.  These are the instructions for what your attitude should be while in captivity. It will only last three and one half years. 

At that time the world will embark on a new beginning and you can see the coronation of the new leader of planet earth in Daniel 7:13-14.  The population will be greatly reduced by famine, pestilence and WW III.  Bankers, lawyers, the federal government and alphabet agencies will be history and the politicos that have survived the chaos will be in their hidey-holes (D.U.M.B.s), awaiting the time (probably years), when they will be extracted from those dungeons for judgment.  (See Isaiah 24:21-22).

Shortly after the destruction of America and Israel, the rescue mission from outer space will set up a command center in the Jerusalem area and begin restoring agriculture.  It will have a protective shield to protect inhabitants from the sun and from enemy attacks.  (See Isaiah 29).  Those who destroy Israel (Arab nations), will be killed or driven out of the area before they can do the looting.  The spoils of Israel will be preserved for the citizens of the command center to be set up in the Jerusalem area and you can pick up bits and pieces of the story in chapters 30-35 of the book of Isaiah.

The world is about to undergo the biggest change since the days of Noah.  Christ is quoted in Matthew 24:37 as saying, "As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man."  Genesis 7 tells us there were only 8 souls saved alive on the planet at that time.  Are we there yet?


A CHILLING AFTER THOUGHT

MH17 Update: Did Obama Try To Kill Putin? New Reports That Putin’s Plane May Have Been Intended Target
Thursday, July 17, 2014 12:28
By Susan Duclos

 RT and others are reporting that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s presidential plane may have been the intended target when the Malaysia Flight MH17 was shot down.

Evidently, from the reports and video details from the first video below, Putin’s plane and the Malaysian Boeing intersected at the same point and the same echelon.

Was this a failed assassination attempt on Vladimir Putin that killed 295 people? If so, after the BRICs launch of the new bank that threatens to kill the dollar, was the Obama admin behind it?

“I can say that Putin’s plane and the Malaysian Boeing intersected at the same point and the same echelon. That was close to Warsaw on 330-m echelon at the height of 10,100 meters. The presidential jet was there at 16:21 Moscow time and the Malaysian aircraft - 15:44 Moscow time,” a source told the news agency on condition of anonymity.

“The contours of the aircrafts are similar, linear dimensions are also very similar, as for the coloring, at a quite remote distance they are almost identical”, the source added.
 
 I don’t think many understand the enormity of what has taken place the past few days with Russia establishing it’s own world bank with South America, China, and South African Countries. Putin is trying to establish his own NWO outside of the Western Bankers NWO.
