'Buy Gold From Me . . .' (Jesus, to the 'Lukewarm Church')

They want to drive us to our knees.

Well, actually, I don't think they care how it affects us.  (But maybe once we are 'on our knees' we will begin to repent . . .)  I have believed, for quite some time, that the plan of the elite has been to break and humble America.  And with the level of arrogance and sinfulness we display (and are virtually unaware of), it is probably warranted.  Here's a good article about the tanking of our economy by so many 'inept' leaders and 'bad luck' and 'coincidental events'.  Yeah, you get my drift.

I believe we are living through the beginning of the fulfillment of the destruction of the capitalist world economy (Whore of Babylon). . . 'they will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.'

I believe that the prophecies will be fulfilled both figuratively and literally.  Keep in mind, what is happening can't happen without God's permission.  The sinfulness of our nation has become a stench to God and the time of His judgment has come to us.  Right now, we are in the  'eye of the storm'--a brief requiem of peace, a time for contemplation and, hopefully, repentance.

But 'brace yourself', 'hide yourself in God', because if America doesn't repent--and soon!--the world's capitalist economy will fail beyond remedy, and you will go down with it.

As The Beast (New World Order) rises up beneath the Whore of Babylon (capitalist world economy), in prophecy, the rest of the Scripture will also be fulfilled:  ' . . . they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.  For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose . . .'

It seems that everyone is preaching investment in gold.  That's great--if our national economy goes back to the gold standard.  But as a personal hedge--I don't know.  I may very well be wrong, but my gut tells me gold will not be your savior.  I seem to recall a verse, somewhere in the Bible, about people throwing their worthless gold in the streets . . .


If this is an orchestrated collapse of our economy (which I believe it is) and judgment from God (which I believe it is)--those who put their trust in gold will be dismayed.  Neither God, nor the elite, is oblivious to the fact that many people are investing in gold--the very sort of middle and upper-middle class people the elite are deliberately trying to bankrupt.  My suspicion is that they will 'cut you off at the pass'.

Who will be making the rules for the change to a new, world currency?  The same people that have orchestrated the dollar's collapse!  This is their plan to equalize standards of living worldwide while, of course, enriching themselves even more.  I don't think you're going to find a way around it!  Especially if it's a judgment from God!!

(Just a thought--who are you buying your gold from?  Might it be from wealthy bankers?  From the elite?  Who stands to profit now?  And who is the final winner if gold, somehow, loses its value before you can cash yours in?)

If people would spend half the time searching their hearts and praying, that they are now spending on trying to outsmart things they are seeing on the horizon . . .

Over and over again, God stresses that He will take care of those who put their trust in Him--that nothing else can be trusted.  He owns the cattle on a thousand hills . . . He feeds the sparrows and clothes the lilies . . . He fed Elijah in the wilderness . . . He brought water out of a rock-twice-for the children of Israel . . . and sent them manna every morning for forty years . . . He brings you rain . . .and sunshine . . . and causes all the processes that create soil, fertile soil, for you to grow your crops in . . .


Please wake up!  Part of what we are being judged for is our arrogance, and putting our faith in ourselves . . . not remembering the God that is above us.

'In her heart she boasts, 'I sit as queen; I am not a widow, and I will never mourn.'  Strange words . . . what do they mean?  How about this for a translation:

In her arrogant heart she believes, that because she is married to the king, she will see no hardship.

Can you see how this applies to America?  The western world is the origin of  The Whore of Babylon.  America is at her heart--American multinational corporations, our government (and our military, in the service of our economic 'interests'), our economy, etc.  America has seen great prosperity and blessing from God, for so long that we take it for granted.

I believe, deep in the American psyche, we have beliefs that we may not even be consciously aware of--but our actions and attitudes betray them.  We rightly believe we are married to the King of Heaven*.  We know He will never divorce us.  We know He will never die.  Therefore, we live as though we will never see hardship or judgment, because we know we are the 'apple of His eye'!  But we err greatly, because our hearts have strayed far from Him!

How long would a queen endure if she denied the king admittance to her chambers?  If she ran around with other lovers?  If she condoned horrible acts to be committed in his kingdom?  If she laughed, and scoffed, at the authority of her king?  If she exalted another as king, in his place?  (Think $$$$$ . . . )

So, to conclude the Scripture above:

'In her heart she boasts, 'I sit as queen; I am not a widow, and I will never mourn.'

Therefore in one day  her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine.  She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.'

'When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her.  Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry . . . They will say, "The fruit you longed for is gone from you.  All your riches and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered".

The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment.  They will weep and mourn and cry out:  "Woe!  Woe, O great city . . . in one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!"

Every sea captain and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off.  When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, "Was there ever a city like this great city?"

'This woman that you saw (The Whore of Babylon) is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.'

And what is this great city, that rules over the kings of the earth (by way of the almighty dollar)?  Where was the 'World Trade Center'?  Where is Wall Street? New York City.  Not only is our economy going to crash and rise no more--great judgment is promised to the city where her power lies.  Today, that is New York City.

It is clear to me that New York City will perish in a nuclear attack.  Everyone will 'stand far off', 'terrified at her torment'.  'They will eat her flesh and burn her with fire'--an apt description of nuclear devastation.  'With such (great) violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again.'

'. . . Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done.  Mix her a double portion from her own cup.  Give her as much torture and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself.'

note: the verse does not say 'the great city Babylon', it says 'the great city of Babylon'--Babylon being the corrupt, worldwide capitalist economy that is based in America.

I don't know how soon it will happen.  If you live in, or near New York City, God may have begun to speak to your heart:

'Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.'

I have pondered whether this means to come out of New York City, or out of the capitalist money system.  I think it means both. (If you don't live near New York, yet God is speaking to your heart about depending less and less on the capitalist system, then that confirms it.) 

If God has been speaking to your heart about any of this, please comment.  What you say may be the confirmation someone has prayed to God for, about what they feel He is speaking to their heart.

It is clear that New York City, being the seat of the world capitalist economy, will sustain the physical attack--but not all the sins were committed in or by New York City.  I think, by being involved in the capitalist system (especially by way of Wall Street investments etc.) we become complicit in the crimes and atrocities committed by our multinational corporations, with the money we invest in them.  And, if we are involved, we will receive the plagues of judgment.

Now, to what extent do we need to 'come out' and when?  I don't know.  You will need to seek God for wisdom in that.  You already know, that at some point you will have to come out of it, if you don't want to take The Mark of the Beast'.  The first step of such a radical change in your life has to be making the decision to be willing, and getting used to the idea.  At the very least, I would say this warning reinforces the idea that you should not put your trust in gold but rather, in God.

It is always better to trust God sooner than later, and I believe there are blessings in store for those who do, that will be missed by those who wait until the last minute--if they are even able to discern what is going on, by that point.  (Remember, God will send a 'powerful delusion' upon those who don't love the truth.  How do you know that what I'm telling you today isn't the truth He is trying to send to you?)



* There is much evidence that America is descended from the 'lost' ten tribes of Israel.  If this is true, it confirms that we are most certainly experiencing God's judgment!

Beware Of The Second Beast!

(I know nothing about Scott Brown.  This is not a commentary on him in any way.)

As much of a relief as it is that another Democrat did not win the Massachusetts election--it is not time for 'back to business as usual'.  Never again should we let down our guard.  Although the win of a Republican was strategically important, it does not mean we are safe--not by any stretch of the imagination.

No matter how similar to us they may seem, there is something inherently different in most people that run for office--especially those that actually are elected.  That hunger for power and position is something that should be viewed with a certain amount of wariness on our part.  Besides that, they are human--and humans are fallible.  Power corrupts, and it spends a good bit of time prowling around the halls of our government, looking for an opportunity. 

Remember: there are two types of people, against whom no one can testify:

1. those who are innocent
2. those who leave no witnesses alive

We still live in perilous times.  No one can be trusted 100%.  I hope, through all the influential people whose corruption has been exposed--in politics, finance, etc.--over the last couple of years, that you will take the lesson to heart. 

The problem here is not one of political parties.  It is one of behind the scenes affiliations.  Hopefully you have learned from all that has been said about  'The Bilderbergers', the 'Trilateral Commission', and the 'Council on Foreign Relations', etc.  Hopefully you are now aware that there are powerful forces working behind the scenes.  The real problem is not Republican vs. Democrat.  The problem is with the elite that are behind them both.

I'm sure there is still MUCH more that could be exposed.  I imagine all that we have seen is only the tip of the iceberg.  There is something EXTREMELY suspicious about a bipartisan congress that would just go along with everything the president was putting forth--at least, at the beginning.  There is some kind of real power that brings that about--whether it be persuasion, bewitchment, or blackmail.  That power is still present in the halls of congress.  No matter who we elect, the real test will be what they DO when they get there.  In my belief, it is only the power of God that can truly stand against such evil and triumph. 

But don't be fooled!  The enemy (Satan) can pick a fine looking man, dress him up in robes, and give him a cross to hold out in front of him.  He may rant and rave against the powers of darkness, and give every appearance of being in opposition to them.  He may do miraculous things--signs and wonders. He may very well have the absolute endorsement of all the most respected religious leaders of our day.  But . . . that does not mean he is filled with the Spirit of God!!

The people behind the scenes will not relinquish power without a "hellacious" fight.  Nor will the enemy of our souls--who is the force that empowers these people.  His time is short, and he is desperate.  Never again--until Christ returns--will we be able to take a deep breath and relax.  We must always be on guard, vigilant, and discerning.

The pendulum swings both ways.  'The people have spoken!'  Expect to see more 'God fearing' candidates--more people running on religious ideals--and expect to see them winning.  Don't think that Satan, and the elites, won't make full use of that!  Expect them also to put forth candidates that are religious, that make claims of being Christians.  These are people without conscience--bodies without souls! 

The elite look at the people of the world without compassion--as mere problems to be solved, numbers to crunch, etc. They aim to purposely depopulate the world!  They are advocates of eugenics, genocide, euthanasia.  They see war as a means to prosperity!  This is nothing but a giant chess game to them.  They will put forth candidates that the people will vote for, and they count on the masses to be blind and gullible!  Expect a 'great awakening' of religious ideals to sweep the nation politically--but only some of it will be genuine! 

That being said--the real danger is that the one who does the most to unravel America may be a 'Christian'!!  Someone who claims to be a Christian.  But here is the problem:  there are more people claiming to be Christians today, than really are Christians, and we have been as naive as little lambs.  When someone tells us they are a Christian, we have taken them at their word--but 'by their fruit you will know them'!! 

If you look into the connections the Bush family has with the organizations mentioned above (and Prescott Bush with Auschwitz and Monowitz), you will see that they are among the elites.  They may call themselves Christians--and that is for God to decide--but I see them as wolves in sheep's clothing!  We believed we had a Christian president, but that is when the most of our liberties were stripped away--and we still have many people who haven't woken up to that!

Then along came Obama, claiming to be a Christian too.  Don't tell me, after all you've seen him do, that you don't believe he was a disciple of Reverend Wright!  He most certainly believes, and concurs wholeheartedly with, everything that man has to say!  Look at his voting record on abortion!  Look at his backing of the gay, lesbian, transgender agenda!  Etc., etc., etc.  He says he's a Christian--so what!!  HE'S A LIAR!!  Let the record show, this man has lied more than he has told the truth!!  If you want to know the real truth, you'd better look back on all he has promised--and expect the opposite to be in your future instead!  This man will look you in the eye and lie--and you'll believe it!  He has a powerful annointing of evil!

So, now the people have spoken and the pendulum will swing the other way.  Let me warn you of what may lie ahead.

Don't be surprised if our next president appears as a strong Christian, well respected, annointed--and maybe he has been, but somewhere along the way he fell into (or will fall into) 'secret sin'.  The enemy found a weakness and capitalized on it, seducing him into deep spiritual darkness.  Then, knowingly or not, he 'made a deal with the devil'.  And, let me tell you what--unless America has truly repented, this man will have God's endorsement to be our president. 

You can expect the 'Christian' leaders of the day to wholeheartedly back him.  A few Christians (there are Christians and there are 'Christians') will discern, by the Spirit, what he is and, in alarm, will try to warn people--but it will be of no use.  Today 'Christians' far outnumber Christians, and he will be one of them.  Today's backslidden, lukewarm 'Christians' will be completely comfortable with him, because that's the only kind of Christian most of them know.  It is said that 'we get the leaders we deserve'.

To add to the illusion--God's Watchmen may not speak.  If America does not repent, and God continues to visit judgment upon America, it may be, that at some point He instructs them not to speak.  Better it is for judgment to do its work and bring forth repentance, than for people to find a way to avoid it, and go to eternal destruction.

So now you know, and if your heart is right, you may discern it when it happens--you may even be one of the voices calling out a warning.  But if God has sent the judgment and the delusion, people will continue to blindly follow, and what is decreed will come to pass.  There is a time to speak--and a time to remain silent.  Let the Holy Spirit be your guide.


All that is just the prelude to what this post was to be about:  the second beast aka 'The False Prophet'.

Beware of the second beast!  All the attention these days is given to looking for the first beast and avoiding it.  The first beast will blaspheme God.  The first beast will make war against God's people.  The first beast will have authority over all the earth.  The first beast is an empire and whoever is its leader.

But it is the second beast that really causes men to be damned.  It seems to me that it is the second beast that takes center stage in world events. 

The second beast will exercise all the authority of the first beast.  The second beast makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast.  It is the second beast that performs great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from  heaven.  It is the second beast that deceives the inhabitants of the earth, by way of the signs he performs. It is the second beast who commands men to create an image in honor of the first beast.  It is the second beast who gives breath to the image of the first beast--so that it can speak and cause all who refuse to worship the image (itself) to be killed.   It is the second beast that causes everyone to receive a mark on their right hand or forehead in order to buy or sell--a mark which is the name of the beast (first or second?) or the number of his name (first or second beast?).

Especially take note of this:  The second beast has 'two horns like a lamb' but 'speaks like a dragon'.  We already know the dragon is Satan--but what about the 'two horns like a lamb'?  My interpretation of this (I could be  wrong) is that the second beast is a false Christianity, with two aspects (Protestant and Catholic?). 

With that possibility in mind, read over the paragraph above.  Keep in mind too, that the prophecy will be literally fulfilled--but perhaps not in the way we interpret and picture it, ahead of time.  Meaning: we tend to form a picture of how things will happen, based on our interpretation of what the verses say and, in hindsight, comparing events to the Scriptures, we will be able to see that things were literally fulfilled--but most likely, not at all how we had predicted!

I'll point out a few things that we might easily misinterpret, because they have many possible interpretations:

• will exercise all the authority of--in what manner will he exercise it?
  
• will exercise all the authority of--is this authority granted by man (such as by election), or is it granted by God, or both?
  
• makes the earth and its inhabitants worship--to what degree does he 'make' them do it?  Does he round them up in the night, or does he just say that they need to do it, or does he get them so riled up that they do it on their own (like at a concert?)?
  
• makes the earth and its inhabitants worship-- in what manner do they worship?  Do they physically bow down several times a day, as Muslims do?  Or do they just talk about it, and praise it all the time?
  
• fire to come down from heaven--is it real, literal fire coming down out of the sky?  Is it a fireball?  Is it lightning?
  
• commands men to create an image--how does he command it?  In an authoritative voice via television?  By passing a law? Does he command everyone?  Or does he just tell a few guys on his staff to do it, without fanfare?
  
• commands men to create an image--what is this image?  A statue?  A logo?  A hologram? Some marvel of future technology that we haven't seen yet?  Something so ordinary we wouldn't even think of it as fitting the Scripture?
  
• gives breath to the image--will it literally be alive, having its own consciousness? Will it be 'animated'? Will it just be something, powered by electricity, that gives the appearance of being alive?
  
• speak and cause all who refuse to worship the image to be killed--does it just stir up animosity against those who refuse, so that people hate and kill them?  Does it put a bounty on them?  Does it issue a fatwa?  Does it pass a law, that all must worship it, that carries the death penalty?
  
• cause all who refuse to worship the image to be killed-all who verbally say 'no'?  All who protest? Even those who just passively avoid it?
  
• causes everyone to receive a mark--endorses it?  Deceives them into it?  Shames them into it--calling them 'nuts', 'religious fanatics', 'superstitious'?  Legislates it?  Rounds them up in the night if they don't?

These are just some of the possibilities--ones I can think of. This should illustrate to you that there are MANY ways to misinterpret any or all of the things that will come.  The only way you will know is if God reveals it to you.  He may reveal the whole picture ahead of time, or He may only show us one step at a time--or He may keep it veiled and reveal events as having fulfilled prophecy after they happen!

I study, and pray, and seek the interpretation--but God has only revealed a few things to me.  What He has shown me instead is how many ways things could be interpreted, when looking ahead.  He has also shown me that even the most respected Bible scholars and 'prophets' have a lot of errors in their understanding.  I'm nobody special, so it's not surprising that He might not reveal it to me.  What is telling, is that no one really seems to know--at least, no one seems to know the whole picture.

So, if no one has the answers you are looking for--what do you do?  If, even at this late date, God has not opened the prophecies to our understanding, what are any of us to do?  What is important is to focus, not on events that you want to find a way to avoid, but on Him!  If you are serving Him, yet had never heard any of the prophecies, He would still show you the way to walk.  The people who will most quickly recognize 'The Beast', 'The Antichrist' and 'The Mark' are not the ones who spend the most time worrying about them, but rather those who dwell in His presence!  Trust that if you know Him and walk with Him daily, He will not let you be deceived, nor will you accidentally take The Mark!  He is fully able to guard what you have entrusted to Him!

Will They Take Away Our Children?

Continued from 'American Empire'

You can rest assured that, even if we hold off the 'elite's' designs on America for now, in 20 years they will be accomplished, regardless.  That is because, they have stolen the hearts and minds of our children, right from under our noses.

Their two biggest tools are the schools and our entertainment industry.  Our schools are currently the biggest threat, and most imminent danger, to our future liberties!  Our history has been rewritten, with a spin.  Any reference to God, or his truth, has been removed from our schools.  Our children are being indoctrinated with humanism, liberalism, relativism, globalism, and sexual and moral perversion--while at the same time being deprived of a basic education.  Look at the ideals of the people who are writing the textbooks!!

How many parents, these days, have enough time with their children to undo these influences in which they are immersed every day?  When did education go from being a right of our children, to being a license for educators and government to liberate our children from our care and influence?  At what point did we relinquish our parental authority?

Our schools have changed from being centers of education and empowerment, to being disseminators of propaganda, and tools for social change.  Our children are being trained up, prepared, to be perfect citizens of a global dictatorship.  I would venture to say that many of our kids are (maybe only unconsciously) expecting and looking forward to it!  Their educators have given them a vision--have we?  Their educators are unabashed in their mission--are we as bold as Christians?  If you never complain about how or what they are being taught, then, in your kids' eyes, it has your seal of approval--and they open their hearts and swallow whatever they are told!

If parents don't wake up to this--SOON--all really will be lost.  If parents don't rise up together and demand change, what authority they do still have over their children will evaporate too.  Maybe it means everyone that is opposed, pulling their kids out of school.  I don't know.  But the longer we wait, the more it is going to cost us.

The other HUGE threat to our children is like a monstrous, powerful, raging river on which we are all rafting.  I don't think it's possible to overestimate the power that our entertainment industry has in shaping our culture, our morals, and our values.


Is Your TV Stealing Your Soul?

These two forces combined, are the reason children that are raised in church leave the church and never look back!!

Oh Yes He Does Get It! (Part 1)

I am surprised that so many people still don't get it.  I hear, daily, how Obama just isn't getting the message, just isn't understanding the American people, foreign policy, the economy, etc.  I think people that say this are being very gracious to him, and have not yet awakened to what is going on.

Obama gets it!  Trust me, he gets it!  He was prepared for this when he began his conquest of America. Surely he anticipated the reaction of the people to his radical agenda!  He just isn't listening!  He doesn't want to hear it!

Look at him with an open mind.  So many people are projecting their hopes onto him that they aren't seeing who he really is.  Look at his past, the activities he was a part of, and the people he surrounds himself with.  Understand that he shares the same beliefs as his inner circle of friends & czars. 

These are people who have been waiting a long time for a revolution.  Their protests began in the sixties, about how the government and American corporations were in bed together, and that they were damaging the environment and exploiting people.  But their protests fell on deaf ears.  Some of these people moved on with their life and adapted to things the way they were, others found constructive ways to make a difference.  But, the folks that have taken over the White House now are those that could not let it go!  I can understand, because I share the same concerns.

For some people, it can become such a matter of conscience and such an obsession, that they will go to whatever lengths are necessary to right the wrongs they see.  The sad thing is, through years of bitterness and resentment, devising plans and strategies, they imperceptibly begin to drift into the same moral decay that they so detest! 

Tired of failing to get their turn by legitimate means, they wait, and fume, and plot. Finally they have an opportunity, and they seize power and begin to enact their agenda.  For the rest of us it's just the same old song and dance.  Change the names, change the faces, but the game is played the same.  Once they gain power, it becomes about domination and control, having things their way, and subjecting everyone else to their version of what is in everyone's best interest, while jealously guarding power for themselves and--not listening. 

The radicals on campus have moved into the White House.  The people are to be at the mercy of the 'greedy capitalist pigs' no longer-instead, they will have their rights revoked and be strangled by the tentacles of an all-encompassing, monumentally intrusive monster of a government that will enslave them to the wishes of the new ruling elite--all in their best interest, of course.

But this time the stakes are so much higher!  We are dealing with people who take power that isn't theirs to wield, who lie, and cheat, and steal (not paying one's taxes seems to be the secret password for this crowd).  And they are not content just to have their four, or eight, years in power and then allow the pendulum to swing back the other way.  They want to surrender the sovereignty of our country and merge it into a world government!  Do you wonder what they're building, as Glenn Beck says?  They are building the foundation for a world government!
