Munich Occult Symbolism

Grace and peace, Saints.

Walking around Munich (as well as any other city in the world) one can find some interesting occult symbolism, even if one only has a rudimentary knowledge of the subject.

This, for instance, is known as the oroboros (or oroborous).

It is also called the alchemical serpent. When one considers that alchemical in the occult sense means not the transformation of base metals into gold, but the perfection of the base human nature through occult knowledge, then we know that the oroboros has something to do with Satan. For it was Satan who told Adam and Eve in the garden that by eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they could be “as gods.” In that the color red is often associated with Satan, it should come as no surprise to us that the alchemical serpent is also red.

A stylized version of the oroboros appears often in various guises, including as a corporate logo.

Without a knowledge of the aforementioned, one would not recognize the true meaning of this symbol if one were to see it. As it would happen, I did. So, imagine my surprise when I happened upon this structure on an ordinary Munich thoroughfare:

Notice the slightly discolored area at the bottom? This is not an effect of weather or some other anomaly. It is intentional and represents the head of the serpent eating its tail. As a dog chases its tail endlessly, so does the oroboros swallow its tail endlessly. For this reason, it is used as a symbol of eternity.

Notice that the word oroboros starts with the word oro which means “gold.” In the occult, gold is used as a symbol of the sun, and, for this reason, the oroboros is also used as a symbol for the sun.

Next, the Washington Monument is famous the world over.

But its true meaning has little or nothing to do with George Washington. It is called an obelisk, and it is actually the phallus of the Egyptian God Osiris, who is, in actuality, Nimrod, the son of Cush and great-grandson of Noah.

The significance of the obelisk is told in the Osirian Cycle. Briefly, as the story goes, Osiris was killed and dismembered by his brother, Typhon. His wife, Isis, scoured the world looking for the pieces of her husband and managed to find all but one. Would you care to guess which? You guessed it. So, Isis supposedly fashioned a replacement out of gold.

The privy member of Osiris (Nimrod) figures prominently in the ancient mysteries and every nation in the world represents it in some way. Munich is no exception, as the photo below confirms.

The inscription reads “To the thirty thousand Bavarians who died in the Russian War.” As I said, it has nothing to do with George Washington, which adds force to my argument that it really represents the privy member of Osiris or Nimrod.

With regard to symbols, I have a very simple rule: if a symbol is said to mean one thing here, but another thing there, then it is very probable that neither meaning is true. And we know that is precisely the case with the obelisk.

This well-known symbol, called the All-Seeing Eye, is commonly found on the reverse side of the one dollar bill:

Reverse of Great Seal of the United States

Of particular interest is the eye within the pyramid, which has been associated with the occult group, the “Illuminati.” This symbol is often seen cast in gold as it is here in this Masonic jewel:

Opinions differ as to when, where, why, and by whom the Illuminati was started, but one account holds that this group was first seen in Spain where it was known as the “Allumbrados” which translates to “The Illumined Ones.”

Formed by the Spanish nobleman, Ignatius Loyola, this occult group was said to have been later commissioned by the Roman Catholic church as the Jesuit Order for the express purpose of destroying the Protestant Reformation. This would essentially make the Illuminati a Roman Catholic led organization, which helps explain the following image:

All-Seeing Eye on St. Peter’s Church, Munich

All-Seeing Eye on St. Peter’s Church, Munich

This is the Church of St. Peter, found in Munich down the street from the Viktualienmarkt right before Marienplatz. As you can see, the eye in the pyramid atop the church figures prominently. Note the spirals to either side of the statue of the Mother and Child at center. The spiral has been used since antiquity as a symbol of the sun and also of The Goddess.

spiral sun symbol

A website discussing celtic symbols says this about the spiral:

“The spiral is probably the oldest symbol of human spirituality. It has been found scratched into rocks from thousands of years ago, on every continent in the world.

“The religious significance can only be guessed, but it has been found on tombs, and possibly has a connection with the sun [as] the sun makes a spiral shape every three months in its travels….

“In modern times, the spiral is still spiritually significant. It is the symbol of spirit in Wicca, an emblem of the Goddess.”

Sun worship (as well as goddess worship) plays a significant role in Roman Catholicism, evidenced not only by the spirals, but, most importantly, by the fact that the image of the goddess at St. Peter’s church above, whom Roman Catholics call the Virgin Mary, is standing on a golden globe. A golden globe has always been emblematic of THE SUN.

The sun is so important to Roman Catholicism that it even shows up on food. There is a popular bread in Munich known as “semmel” (pronounced ZEMELL). It is a very tasty bread that is an important part of the Bavarian diet. It is often eaten for breakfast with butter and/or cheese, jelly, or preserves and for lunch with leberkaese (literally “liver cheese”). It is very good, and once you try it, it is hard to imagine breakfast without it.

Below is a photo I made of a particular piece of semmel that met its demise shortly thereafter.

Side view of semmel

Below is a top view.

Top view of semmel

As you can see, it features a five-armed figure which resembles a star. Note that the arms are not straight like a conventional star, but curved, as if the figure were rotating clockwise. That’s because it is. It’s a sun symbol, similar to the one below.

This symbol is known as a Borjgali, which Wikipedia describes thus:

“Borjgali is an ancient Georgian symbol of the Sun and is related to the Messopotamian [sic] and Sumerian symbols of the eternity [sic] and the Sun.” [Capitalization in the word Sun found in the original.]

In that the sun symbol on the piece of semmel above resembles a star, and Munich is a Roman Catholic city, and Roman Catholicism worships an idol called the Virgin Mary, which is an ancient goddess, who was worshipped in the Bible by the apostate Jews with a star, the reader might want to read here and here.

Goddess worship is alive and very well.

Next, the serpent is probably the oldest occult symbol in existence. Images of serpents have been found in virtually every country in the world and the serpent features prominently in the folklore of these countries. Many civilizations actually worshipped the serpent. The Bible teaches that Satan, in the form of a serpent, deceived Eve into eating of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. In the Book of the Revelation, Satan is called “that old serpent.”

The mystery religions believe that the God of the Bible is actually the bad guy because He withheld knowledge from Adam and Eve and kept them naked and ignorant in the garden of Eden. They believe that Lucifer, called Satan, is really the good guy, because by deceiving Eve to eat of the forbidden fruit, he brought knowledge and wisdom to humanity and brought us up from our base ignorance. For this reason, the serpent is often known as “the serpent of wisdom.”

Mystery Babylon, as the Bible calls the ancient, pagan mystery religions of the East, has always hoarded knowledge from the “uninitiated.” They control true religion, true history, and true science and keep this knowledge from the common man. Jesus dealt with these people during His ministry and called them “serpents” and “vipers” (Matthew 23:33) because they “held the key of knowledge” (Luke 11:52) and withheld that knowledge from the people.

Jesus’ use of the words “serpents” and “vipers” was not arbitrary. The Pharisees were religious men who knew that Jesus Christ was the only way to salvation, but they withheld this knowledge from the people and denied Jesus publicly. This knowledge would have led people to salvation; and who, but Satan, that old serpent, would not want for people to get saved? This is why Jesus called them serpents. They withheld the key of knowledge from men.

This is important in the secular sense also, because since antiquity the religious establishment has been responsible for education. So they not only hold the knowledge of true religion, but they hold all true knowledge. What is being taught in most schools is not knowledge, but information disguised as knowledge. This is logical, since the Bible says that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10). If, therefore, you want to keep true knowledge from the people, you must begin by keeping from them the knowledge of God. The Roman Catholic church knows this all too well.

Bearing this biblical perspective on the “serpent of wisdom” in mind, you can imagine what went through my head when I saw this:

Serpent of Knowledge at the Munich Patent Office

This is the entrance to the Munich branch of the German Patent Office. Notice the key next to the serpent’s tail. In light of what we have just discussed, there can be no doubt as to its meaning.

Munich Patent Office Sign

It is fitting that the serpent of wisdom withholding the key of knowledge would be associated with a patent office, as a patent office determines what inventions and discoveries—knowledge, if you will—the public will be allowed to know about and benefit from. I can only imagine how many inventions with the purpose of benefitting all mankind have been stopped dead at the patent office, because someone saw an opportunity to privatize the invention in order to make money or to keep the public from benefitting from it.

Granted, I don’t know anything about the patent process, but I do know a little something about Satan, and this sounds like something he would do.

These next images were captured at the Deutsche Museaum (German Museum) in Munich, situated on the Isar River. As one can plainly see, this structure is comprised of two circular features.

The Zodiak displayed on the Deutsche Museum in Munich

The top feature is obviously the zodiac, which are, in astrological terms, the twelve ages or “houses” that the sun passes through along its orbital journey. This is made clear from the sun image to the left of the dial, which appears to point to each month and astrological house. This is true because on this photo, the pointer on the sun image appears to be situated between the houses of Aries (The Ram) and Taurus (The Bull) and to be pointing to the month of April, which happens to be the month that I took this photo.

The Zodiak displayed on the Deutsche Museum in Munich

There are, of course, twelve signs in the zodiac as there are twelve months in a year. The earth completes its circular orbit around the sun in twelve months or one calendar year. A year is comprised of 365 days which is just five digits more than the 360 degrees found in a circle. This is why the circle is so often used as a symbol for the sun.

But a circle is not only used as a symbol of the sun: it is also used as a symbol for Nimrod, the Sun God. You see, legend has it that the great rebel, Nimrod, the son of Cush and the grandson of Noah, was killed by his great uncle Shem, the father of the Jewish people. After his death, Nimrod was deified as the Sun God by his wife/mother Semiramis. As the Sun God, he was “the source of all life on this earth: he was the source of all warmth, he was the source of all ENERGY, he was THE GENERATIVE FORCE.” Therefore, he was symbolically represented, among other things, as trees, fish, and animals. Incidentally, have you ever wondered why nearly all towns have an Elm or Oak street? Nimrod was also known as The Oak.

The signs of the zodiac all point to Nimrod and his wife Semiramis. “But,”
you say, “What do the scales of Libra have to do with trees, fish, animals or the Generative Force?” Nothing. However, Semiramis, the wife of Nimrod, was also known as The Apportioner (Isaiah 65:11). (“That Number” is defined in Strong’s Concordance as a deity (idol) named menee, which is Chaldee for “The Apportioner” or measurer.) Now you know where we get our word many.

You see, everything we ever need to know is in the Bible, which is why the Bible says that “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10).

Now that you know that the zodiac has to do with Nimrod and Semiramis, and you know that the scales are a symbol for Semiramis, then you have probably guessed that the lady holding the scales, known as Justice, is really the goddess Semiramis.

You may also be interested to know that Scorpio, the scorpion, is a symbol for Nimrod, who is also identified with the Greek god, Orion. Legend has it that Orion, the giant hunter, was killed by a scorpion.

Proof that the twelve zodiacal signs are actually Nimrod and his wife Semiramis can be found in the feature below the zodiac. As one can see, it contains seven characters, five male and two female, beside each is written a word. The words are the days of the week in German: Montag (Monday), Dienstag (Tuesday), Mittwoch (Wednesday), Donnerstag (Thursday), Freitag (Friday), Samstag (Saturday), and Sonntag (Sunday). I once read that the names of the days of the week are derived from the names of Norse gods and goddesses, and I believed it. But when I saw this, I really believed.

You see, the German word for moon is Mond, so Montag literally means “moon day.” And the figure above featured as Montag is a woman with a crescent moon next to her. Because I believe that this figure is a goddess, then this crescent moon would identify her with the goddess Diana or Isis, both of whom were identified with the moon. Incidentally, the idol, known as the Virgin Mary is also identified with the moon. Coincidence, right?

Now the Bible teaches that astrology is witchcraft and witchcraft comes from the devil (Deuteronomy 18:10). Proof of this is the fact that the goddess Diana is displaying the El Diablo or “horned devil” hand sign. Now that you know that the moon is associated with the goddess and the so called El Diablo horn sign is also associated with the goddess, you may want to read about the Cult of Mary here.

The figure representing Mittwoch or Wednesday is also displaying the occult 666 or “three rings” hand sign as shown below:

This figure is further proof that the names of the days of the week actually pay homage to pagan gods. Mittwoch is German for “middle of the week,” so that tells us nothing. If, however, we look at the figure himself, we will see that he holds a staff with two snakes entwined around it and with wings near the top. This is known as a caduceus.

Besides being the symbol for the medical profession, the caduceus is also associated with the god Mercury or Hermes.

That both the figure of Wednesday and the god Hermes hold a caduceus would seems to suggest that Wednesday is actually Mercury or Hermes.

But this is where it gets interesting, for you see, Wednesday is said to be named for the Scandinavian god Wotan or Wodin (Wednesday=Wodin’s day) who is depicted below.

Now compare this image of Wotan with that of Hermes above. Because nothing in the world of symbolism is coincidence, then the winged helmet means something. I believe that the winged helmet is a symbol identifying Hermes with Wotan. They are the same person.

If it is true that all gods and goddesses are actually Nimrod and Semiramis, then both Hermes and Wotan are actually Nimrod.

Now pay close attention to what Alexander Hislop in The Two Babylons says about Hermes:

“Hermes is just an Egyptian synonym for the “son of Ham” (p. 25).

Ham was the youngest son of Noah. Now, Ham had four sons: Cush, Mizraim, Phut, and Canaan (Genesis 10:6). Which son, then, is Hermes?:

“Hermes is the “Son of Her or Ham,” the burnt one—that is, Cush” (Hislop, 25. See footnote).

So, Hermes is really Cush. Cush, also known as Ethiops, “The Black One,” is the father of the black race. Africans were known as Cushites for centuries. According to Hislop, Hermes, or Cush, was deified as the Sun God (as was his son, Nimrod), and this is why many of the gods like Mercury, Apollo, and Horus were identified with the sun.

Alexander Hislop says that Cush was often identified with Nimrod. So, though Hermes is Cush, he is actually a symbol for his son, Nimrod. Proof of this is the spear that is always associated with Wotan. A spear is a symbol of a hunter, and Wotan is said to have been a great hunter. But, remember, Wotan, as well as Hermes, is merely a symbol for Nimrod. How, then, does the spear of a hunter identify Wotan as Nimrod? Listen to what the Bible says,

“And Cush begat Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

“He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord” (Genesis 10:8-9).

Now If Wotan or Odin is really Hermes, and Hermes is really Nimrod, then Wotan is Nimrod. Incredible, isn’t it?

In the event you are still not convinced, notice that behind Wotan’s head above are two black birds, possibly ravens or crows. Almost every picture I have seen of Wotan has two black birds in it.

Wotan is also always in the company of two black dogs. You must understand that in the world of symbolism everything associated with a person has a symbolic meaning–even colors. The dogs further prove that Wotan is Nimrod, because, in Greek mythology, Nimrod was known as Orion. Orion, who was also a mighty hunter, was always accompanied by his two dogs, Canis Major and Canis Minor.

The dogs are black to further associate them with Nimrod, who was black. The black birds are said to be the eyes of Wotan, flying all over the world gathering information for him. They were spies. For the significance of this, keep reading.

Let us return to the Deutsche Museum. Look closely at the symbol on top of the building above the sun and stars. Can you tell what it is?

It appears to be an owl, doesn’t it? An owl apparently has great significance in the occult, as it appears very often. It is also associated with the goddess, Athena.

Listen to what Alexander Hislop says regarding Athena:

“One of her distinguishing titles was Ophthalmitis…the goddess of ‘the eye’…as the Egyptian Maut (a goddess) wore a vulture on her head, so the Athenian Minerva was represented as wearing a helmet with two eyes, or eye-holes, in the front of the helmet (p. 294). [Parentheses and boldface mine.]

As all gods and goddesses are really symbols for the deified king and queen of ancient Babylon, Nimrod and Semiramis, then Athena is really Semiramis. So, anything associated with Athena is really a symbol that identifies her with Semiramis. The question, therefore, is not what the eye and the owl mean, but how they identify Athena with Semiramis.

I believe that the eye and the owl represent Semiramis in her role as Rhea, who, according to Hislop, was also called “The Gazer” (p. 294). She was also called “The Lady of the Spies,” because espionage was an important part of the mystery religion, which she helped create. What is important about the owl is that it can not only see very well in the dark, but it can also rotate its head 180 degrees. It can, therefore, see toward the front and toward the back. This is crucial, because the helmet with eye-holes already identifies Athena with Rhea. The owl, then, must represent something or someone else.

And it does. As Semiramis was given other names, so was her husband, Nimrod. And one of those names was Janus. Below is an image of Janus:

As you can see, Janus has two heads: one looking toward the front, the other looking toward the back; just like an owl. Incidentally, Janus was called “Lord of spies,” “Janus the Seer,” and “All-seeing Janus” (Hislop, 27). So, in the person of Athena and the owl, we have a representation of Semiramis and Nimrod in their aspects of Rhea “The Gazer” and Janus “The Seer.” Mystery Babylon.

Now, while you ponder these revelations, consider that the Roman Catholic church worships a goddess called the Virgin Mary and that the Roman Catholic papacy is called the “Holy See.”

Bear all this in mind, as we revisit these photos:

All-Seeing Eye on St. Peter’s Church, Munich

All-Seeing Eye on Masonic jewel

Finally, consider this photo:

All-Seeing Eye on American one-dollar bill

Are you starting to make some connections? Oh yes, dear friends, we have ALL been deceived!

Before we leave the Deutsche Museum, let us examine one final symbol. Located just above the zodiac and right below the owl, is this feature:

It appears to be in the shape of an egg, lying on its side. We already know that this symbol represents Nimrod and/or Semiramis, and this is borne out by the fact that half of the egg is gold, which represents the sun and, thus, divinity. We need, therefore, only divine which aspect of Semiramis is being portrayed here. The egg is a symbol of fertility, therefore Semiramis is being represented here as Ashtoreth, Ishtar, or Easter, the goddess of fertility, whom the ancient Phoenicians and the apostate Jews, including King Solomon, worshipped.

This is further confirmed by the other side of the egg, which is black with a blanket of seven-pointed stars. The Bible tells us in Amos 5:26 and Acts 7:43 that the apostate Jews worshipped a goddess named Remphran and Chiun with a star. The Roman Catholic church, coincidentally, also worships a goddess, whom they call Mary, with five-, six-, seven-, and eight-pointed stars.

You may read more about it here and here.

The next series of images will prove conclusively that Munich is definitely into sun worship. If you’re ever in Munich, from the Hauptbahnhof (Main Train Station) take the U2 subway East to Messestadt Ost (Convention Center East). Try to sit at the front of the train.

When you arrive at Messestadt Ost, get off at the East side of the subway (where the elevator is). Take the stairs or the escalator to the first floor.

Once there, head toward the exit. Before you even get to the doors, you will notice a large circle on the ground with steep walls slanting upward.

Once outside, you will be greeted with a curious sight.

What are those lines for, and what is the significance of the Roman numerals? I’m certain that the lines correspond to the movements of the sun and the Roman numerals are the months of the year. This is a device for charting the sun’s movements. The smaller numbers, that you can barely make out, are actually dates, as shown below.

22.6 is June 22nd, and 23.5 and 23.7 are the 23rd of May and the 23rd of July, respectively. Is it a coincidence that June 22 is the last day of the summer solstice?

Now, I’m not into astrology, but John Todd, a former witch who was supposedly converted to Christianity, said that witchcraft is nothing without astrology and that a witch will do nothing without consulting the stars. That should give us some idea as to why someone thought this was necessary. The fact that this modern day Stonehenge was built with tax dollars ought to demonstrate to you the importance of astrology and sun worship to many in Munich today—and, in fact, the world.

Here is a top image of this temple of the sun.

Notice that the Roman numerals follow the path of the line and that the numerals stop at twelve. You should also notice that the path of the line makes a distinct shape. You may want to remember this so that if you see this shape somewhere else, you’ll know what it represents.

Here is the Munich Sun Temple from ground level.

Saints, Mystery Babylon is alive and well.

By now, you may be somewhat convinced that Mystery Babylon is the worship of Nimrod and Semiramis, the first king and queen of ancient Babylon. As all the world worshipped these two, then all gods and goddesses are really Nimrod and Semiramis.

Nimrod, as I stated earlier, was a black man (Alexander Hislop, The Two Babylons, p. 47). Now, Satan hates the black race because of the actions of one black man: Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses. So, in nearly all cases, Nimrod’s blackness will be represented only symbolically. But this fact is still apparent for anyone with discernment.

Of the god Buddha, for example, Alexander Hislop, says, “The great god Buddh is generally represented in China as a Negro” (p. 57). Though many statues of Buddha in the West are often in gold color or brass, or, as in China and Japan, depict him with the skin color of a typical Asian, a great many statues of Buddha are black. And even when this is not the case, if you take a look at the hair on virtually all statues of Buddha, you will see that it is merely a stylized depiction of the coarse, curly hair associated with most black Africans. In fact, there are many statues of Buddha in China, Japan, and India which depict him not only with the skin color of a Negro, but also with the facial features of a black man.

The worship of Nimrod and Semiramis was put down when, according to Alexander Hislop and ancient historians, Shem, the middle son of Noah and father of the Semitic peoples, including the Jews, killed Nimrod for his crimes. From that point on, Nimrod’s worshippers went underground and practiced their religion in secret using occult symbols and secret signs and tokens.

One way the worshippers of Nimrod and Semiramis represented them secretly was as a goddess mother and her child. You may be interested to know that Semiramis, Nimrod’s wife, was also his mother. In fact, in the ancient world, Nimrod was known as “The Husband of His Mother” or simply “The Husband.” This title is found even in the Bible, as Baal. Most Bible students know that Baal means “lord,” but few consider that Baal also means “husband.” In ancient times, it was customary for a woman to call her husband “lord,” as a term of respect. As a matter of fact, the Bible teaches that Sarah, the wife of the great patriarch, Abraham, called her husband “lord” (1 Peter 3:6). Hang on for the significance of this.

As the worship of the deified couple was global (Acts 19:27), the worship of the Mother and Child was universal and predates Roman Catholicism by thousands of years. In fact, when Jesuit missionaries first arrived in China, they were surprised to find that the people there already worshipped a goddess, whom they called Shing Moo (or Ma Tsoopo), and her son!

Mystery Babylon, as the Bible calls the ancient worship of Nimrod and Semiramis, has its modern counterpart in the Roman Catholic church. And the Goddess Mother and Child are represented in the Roman Catholic church as the Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus.

Rome knows full well that Nimrod and Cush, his father, were black. Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI even has a black king on his personal coat of arms.

The equal-armed cross or “T” on the bear’s side may be a symbol for Nimrod, as he was also called Tammuz (Ezekiel 8:14). If so, then the black king is likely Cush. The seashell is a symbol for Semiramis, also called the Virgin Mary, who is known as “The Star of the Sea.” The three represent the pagan trinity.

Now, in that Mystery Babylon worships Nimrod and Semiramis covertly through symbols, but Satan hates blacks, then it is no wonder that Nimrod or the Baby Jesus is generally represented as white. Every now and then, however, I will come across a representation of Nimrod that is closer to the truth.

From the Munich Main Train Station (Hauptbahnhof), take the U2 or U5 subway East to Ostbahnhof (East Train Station). Go to the front of the train station and exit onto Orleansstrasse. Proceed South on Orleanstrasse about a quarter of a mile until you get to the intersection of Orleansstrasse and Rosenheimerstrasse.

On the Northwest corner you will see a building with the following painting on it:

As you can plainly see, though the “Baby Jesus” has the hair texture and facial features of a Caucasian, he clearly has the skin color of a Negro. And this is no affect of weather or any other anomaly, as the hand of the Virgin Mary, holding the “Baby Jesus” proves. Whoever painted this knew what he was doing. He knew that the Baby Jesus is really Nimrod. Truth is stranger than fiction, isn’t it?

We’ve already discussed the significance of the All-Seeing Eye. Well, I found another one a month or so ago. From the Munich Hauptbahnhof, take the U2 subway East to Untersbergstrasse. Take the exit that goes up to Werinherstrasse. Once upstairs, walk straight ahead on Werinherstrasse, staying on the left side of the street, for about a quarter mile until you get to the intersection of Werinherstrasse and Severinstrasse.

On the opposite side of the intersection you will see a large church-like building…

that has this on it:

The building houses, among other things, the Social Security office.

On the side of the building on the roof can be seen a stylized version of the symbol of the Jesuit order.

The Still Man

The Power of Intercessory Prayer

Grace and peace, to the saints of God, and greetings to the children of disobedience.

Prayer is very important in the life of a Christian; and it is, without a doubt, one of the greatest privileges given to those who name the name of Christ. Prayer is our way of talking to God, who is our Father. And just as we go to our earthly fathers when we want something from them, so do we pray to our Heavenly Father when we want something from Him.

We pray when we need a blessing from God. We pray when we need protection from God. We pray when we need healing from God. We pray when we need forgiveness from God. And we pray when we want to thank Him for His goodness. But how often do we consider that it has also been given to the body of Christ to pray the will of God in the life of another? This is known as intercessory prayer. And it is more than just talking to God. It is exercising the power of God in the lives of others.

Jesus wants us to care for one another. When asked which was the greatest of the commandments, Jesus said,

“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.

“And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself” (Matthew 22:37-39).

It must be noted that Jesus was not only talking to believers, but to unbelievers as well. Jesus wants all men to love one another. In John Chapter 13, when giving His final instructions to His disciples before He was to suffer and die on the cross, Jesus said,

“A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another, as I have loved you” (John 13:34).

He repeated this commandment twice in Chapter 15:

“This is my commandment: That ye love one another, as I have loved you” (v. 12)

“These things I command you, that ye love one another” (v. 17).

To love others, then, is not an option for the Christian. We must love one another. And the most loving thing that a Christian can do for another is to pray for him. I can illustrate this with a very practical example. Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that you needed a favor or had a problem that could be easily fixed if you had the right connections. Let us say that a friend of yours was also a good friend of a king or president. One of the best things that friend could do for you would be to mention your name to that king or president and try to get your problem fixed.

So it is with the Christian. We have the ear of the King of Kings, the President of Presidents, the Potentate of Potentates. And our God is able to do whatever He wants whenever He wants. So, if it is God’s will to help those for whom we pray, He will do it. Clearly then, the best thing that we can do for our friends and family both in Christ and in Adam is to pray for them and intercede on their behalf.

In the eyes of God, there are only two kinds of people: those who know Jesus, and those who do not. But for the sake of our discussion, these can be further broken down into the following groups:

Our family, friends, and loved ones
Our brethren in the Lord
The Church
Those in government
Our enemies
Everyone else

INTERCESSION FOR THE LOST

With respect to the lost, we should pray most importantly for their salvation. The Bible says that God wants all men to be saved:

“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).

We should, therefore, pray that our lost friends and family will one day repent of their sins and accept the Lord Jesus as their Savior. This is love in action and is especially true in the case of those family and friends with whom we do not associate or who choose not to associate with us. I have had family members accuse me of being haughty and judgmental, because I choose not to associate with them regularly. But the Bible does not compel us to associate with those in the world when they are living in wickedness. What the Bible says is that we should love them and, when and if possible, share the Gospel with them. Then their blood will not be on our head (Ezekiel 3:18-19).

So once we have given them the Gospel, our obligation has been fulfilled. From that point the most we can do is to stay in prayer for their salvation.

INTERCESSION FOR OUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES

The Book of Job gives a great example of intercessory prayer. Chapter One tells us that Job often prayed for his children:

“And it was so, when the days of [Job’s children’s] feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt sacrifices according to the number of them all: For Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually” (Job 1:5).

This passage can teach us some important things about intercession.

First, note that Job offered sacrifices “according to the number” of his children. That means that he sacrificed at least one animal for each child rather than one animal for them all. Likewise, we should also pray according to the number of our family. We should single out each person for whom we are praying, and pray for them by name. We shouldn’t merely say a blanket prayer for all of them. When we pray for a person by name, we show how much we care for him as an individual, and not merely a member of a group. We imitate God’s attitude towards us, because he sees us as individuals, and has numbered every hair on each of our heads.

Secondly, note that Job prayed for his children during “the days of their feasting.” This shows that he knew something of his children’s lives and habits. Job knew that the chances that one of his children could blaspheme God increased while they were drinking wine and making their hearts merry. So Job prayed for his children particularly during the time of their revelry. He tailored his prayers to their circumstances.

Likewise, intercessory prayers should never be static. When we intercede for others, our prayers should be according to our knowledge of their lives and circumstances. Someone may be going through a divorce, starting a new job, having problems with substance abuse, expressing doubts about God, depressed, running with the wrong crowd, having a baby, or any number of things. Most people’s lives are dynamic and fluid and our prayers for them should emulate their lives.

Thirdly, note that Job prayed for his children “continually.” Job knew that God heard his prayers on behalf of his children, yet he did not take it for granted that he did not have to continue in prayer for them.

This is important for us to understand. We must continually pray for our children. In the United States, Germany, and, I would wager, the world, the education system exists expressly for the purpose of indoctrination. It exists to prepare children to assume their role in the New World Order. It exists to destroy their faith in God and supplant that faith with a faith in man. Later, once the Antichrist is firmly in power, that faith will be finally supplanted with a forced worship of the God of the Antichrist.

It is, therefore, of utmost importance that parents intercede for their children. Parents must pray that God will insulate their children from the antichrist propaganda that is being forced on them in the schools. Parents must pray against the satanic indoctrination and symbolism that is being inculcated into their minds through television programming. And parents must pray that God will open their understanding to Satan’s many devices.

I cannot overemphasize intercession for our children, our friends, and our relatives. It is not only for their benefit, but for ours also. Scripture says:

“[P]ray one for another, that ye may be healed” (James 5:16).

This is generally taken to mean that we should pray for each other’s healing when we are sick. But what it also says to me is that God wants us to care for others and not just for ourselves. It says to me that when we show genuine concern for the welfare of others, God heals the breaches in our own lives. This has biblical precedent.

In Chapter 42 of the Book of Job, we are told that at the end of Job’s trial, God healed Job and restored all that He had taken from him; even two-fold. But what is often overlooked is when God effected Job’s healing:

“And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: (Job 42:10).

As you can see, it was not until Job prayed for his friends that God healed him. The reason God wanted Job to pray for them was because they had spent forty chapters trying to convince an innocent man that he was a hypocrite and had incurred the wrath of God by being a self-righteous sinner. Then God shows up and lets these men know that they “had not spoken of [God] the thing which [was] right” (Job 42:8). Notice that God was very careful to point out that Job was the only one of the four of whom He approved, even going so far as to use the phrase “my servant Job” three times (v.v. 7-8). Job was vindicated.

Now the common attitude when we have been unjustly accused and then proven innocent is to say “Nah, nah, na-nah, nah!” God did not want righteous Job to adopt this attitude. Job had towed the line the whole time he was suffering, never once sinning with his lips, and God didn’t want him to do so now. God could just as easily have demanded that Job’s friends get on their knees and beg His forgiveness. But He had Job pray for them. Why? Because he wanted Job to love them, and praying for someone is the most loving thing you can do for them. Besides this, Job represented God, and forgiving his friends is a picture of God forgiving us.

This is very significant and highly suggestive of what our attitude should be when we have been wronged by others. We should forgive them and pray that God would also forgive them. God wants us to “love the brethren.” This brings me to the next group of those for whom we should pray.

INTERCESSION FOR THE BRETHREN

Our brethren in the church need intercession, as many who name the name of Christ are sinning as much as those in the world. It has become the custom of many Christians to condemn a brother who has been caught in the act of sinning, but the Bible teaches that we should pray for such:

“If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give him (the praying brother) life for them that sin not unto death” (1 John 5:16).

The sin unto death is the “unpardonable sin”: blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. God says that He will grant the praying saint forgiveness for his sinning brother. Notice that God did not in any way qualify this forgiveness. It is a promise. God said that if you see a brother sin, you have but to ask God to forgive him, and He will do it. This is a tremendous blessing and has been given us for the unification of the body of Christ.

How many of us have seen one of our brothers in the faith do something he has no business doing, but instead of praying for the brother, we choose to condemn him. Or we pray for him, but we pray in the wrong way or for the wrong reason. I imagine one reason we do this is because we are ignorant of the will of God. But as we have just seen, God’s will is that we pray for that brother and not condemn him. And each of us would like the same consideration if we were in that brother’s place. And this is not limited to our lay brothers and sisters, but it also applies to the pastor and others in leadership.

Do you see the importance of this? How many Christians sin and do not confess that sin to Jesus? Unconfessed sin can be a source of great difficulty in a Christian’s life. But if Jesus will forgive a brother for another, then that sin is confessed and the brother will not have to suffer the spiritual fallout from his sin. This is great news!

Now it stands to reason that after praying for the brother we confront him in a loving way and let him know that what he is doing is wrong, and that he should confess this sin. But Scripture also says that after the third admonition—the third warning—we are to avoid that brother, because he is willfully sinning against the Lord. Until then, though, we must strive to correct him in a godly fashion.

This is one of the ways that “the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” And is very significant because often we don’t know what God’s will is when we pray for someone, which is why we always pray that the will of God be done (Luke 22:42). But, in this instance, God has told us that if we pray for an erring brother to be forgiven for his sin, then his sin will be forgiven. We need not wonder what the will of God is. This is a huge blessing.

Jesus gave us a very good example of another way that we should pray for the brethren. Speaking to Simon Peter, Jesus says:

“Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not” (Luke 22:31-32).

This is a good example of intercessory prayer in spiritual warfare. Jesus told Simon Peter that Satan had designs on him. Satan wanted to destroy Peter’s faith, because he knew that Peter was going to be greatly used of God. So, he tried to destroy Peter’s testimony by having him deny Jesus three times. But Jesus prayed for Peter and, though he hit a bump in the road, Peter emerged as a “pillar of the faith.”

It is extremely important to note that Jesus did not pray that Simon Peter be spared the temptation by the devil, even though He knew full well what that temptation would be. Temptations and tribulations, though often psychologically, emotionally and even physically challenging, are permitted by God to strengthen us. So it is not advisable to pray that an individual not go through the trial, but rather that they come through that trial stronger, wiser, and, more importantly, with their faith intact.

This is an example of how we should pray for pastors. Good pastors are constantly engaged in spiritual warfare. Not only are they charged with regularly feeding their flock, but they have to pray for their congregants’ wellbeing, pray for others’ salvation, pray for the sick, pray for the afflicted, and pray for strength in the face of myriad temptations. And besides the church family, pastors still have to take care of their own families. They desperately need our prayers.

The devil is relentless when it comes to pastors as well as evangelists, Christian counselors, and anyone else with a burden for the lost. And the stress can sometimes be overwhelming. Pastors have left the ministry and even the faith because they could not handle the steady buffeting of Satan. We often fail in our duty to consistently pray for our pastors, but we need to work toward being better at this, because they desperately need our prayers.

Anther group that needs intercessory prayer are babes in Christ—the newly converted—because Satan will be working overtime to destroy their faith. It is often the case that when a person becomes a Christian, he will get lost in the midst of the church’s many responsibilities and come to feel as though he were merely another face in the crowd. (This is especially true in churches that have very large congregations.) New converts need constant attention. They need to be constantly fed and nourished up in the word of God and their growth monitored. And they need to be constantly prayed for that Satan will not derail their faith.

INTERCESSION FOR THE CHURCH

An example of intercessory prayer for the church can be found in Jesus’ Great Priestly Prayer, found in John 17. Jesus, prays:

“I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil” (v. 15).

Here, Jesus prays for the protection of the church from spiritual and physical evil. Likewise, we should pray a hedge of protection around our brethren in the Lord. We should pray that God will protect them from the efforts of the Wicked One and the children of disobedience to harm or destroy them.

Jesus continues:

“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth” (v. 17).

Everything begins with the truth. The fear of the Lord is only the beginning of wisdom. Believers must continue to be sanctified (holy and separated unto God) to live a victorious life. This passage tells us that sanctification comes with the knowledge of the truth. This is called discernment, the knowledge of good and evil: of truth and error. Discernment is of paramount importance to the Christian, for without it we cannot resist Satan’s deceptions. We should, therefore, pray that the Lord will give the church discernment.

“That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us…” (v. 21).

The unity of the church is all-important. And the church cannot be unified unless we stay yoked to Christ Jesus. Jesus said that He is the true vine and we are the branches. Without Him we can do nothing. The only way to stay yoked to Jesus Christ is to keep His commandments, for Scripture says:

“He that keepeth His commandments dwelleth in Him, and He in him” (1 John 3:24).

If the Church, therefore, would be unified, we must keep the commandments of God. The last, and, therefore, greatest commandment that Jesus gave us was to “Love one another” (John 15:12,17). Let us, therefore, pray that the children of God would love one another.

Jesus next prays that his followers would be with Him where He is: that is, in Heaven. Now, Scripture tells us that those who believe on Jesus already have eternal life (1 John 5:13). So, it is a given that we shall be where the Lord is. What we should pray, then, is that the Lord would “keep us from falling.”

INTERCESSION FOR THOSE IN GOVERNMENT

We should also intercede for those in government. When a crucial election is coming up or an important ballot initiative pending, we should pray that those in government will make the right decision. The Bible says that we are not fighting against flesh and blood, but against “spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12). Those high places are the seats of government, and a government’s decisions will affect its citizens for many years.

As Job prayed for his children “according to their number,” so should we also be familiar with our government leaders and pray for them by name. Satan and his followers are trying to influence their decisions for evil, so we must diligently pray that they will use their power and influence for good. This even applies to those politicians whom we know are doing the work of Satan, for the Bible says that God has put them in office to fulfill His will, one purpose of which is to punish evildoers (1 Peter 2:14).

Additionally, we should pray for those in civil service—especially police officers, firemen, and soldiers. Policemen have been given a bad rap because of the actions of a few bad apples, but all policemen are not predators. There are still good police officers out there—men and women—who would risk their lives for someone whom they don’t even know. It takes a special kind of person to be a police officer, knowing that any day you walk out of your house could be your last.

Firemen and women are also a special breed, and though I’m a grown man, I’m still in awe whenever I pass by a fire engine. I was brought up to respect a man who would risk his life to pull a total stranger out of a burning building: and I still do.

We have been at war for ten years, and our sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, husbands, mothers and other family members are fighting and dying on foreign soil. This war is arguably the bloodiest ever, and a soldier’s worst fear is no longer dying in battle, but coming home maimed, mangled, and permanently scarred. I believe that the War On Terror has seen more amputees than possibly any war in history. And more soldiers have committed suicide in this war than in any previous war.

Police officers, firemen, soldiers, and others are risking their lives daily and actually dying to keep us safe. Theirs is a thankless job, but a vital one. Were it not for their sacrifices, we would live in constant fear. We need to pray for their safety and for the well-being of their families. Moreover, most of these brave souls do not know the Lord Jesus, and they need to; because any day could literally be their last. They need our intercession.

INTERCESSION ON BEHALF OF AN ENEMY

Jesus also said that we should pray for our enemies. He did this very thing Himself when he prayed for His murderers, saying,

“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34).

Stephen, when he being stoned, also prayed that his murderers not be held accountable for his death (Acts 8:60). Likewise should we also pray for our enemies; for Jesus said,

“Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.

“That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust (Matthew 5:44-45).

This passage tells us that we should love and pray for our enemies because, in so doing, we are emulating our Master. Now this is good advice, because, for many of us, our enemies include our family and friends: the very people whom we trust the most and are supposed to love. If Jesus’ advice had been for us to hate our enemies and love only our friends, we would have a very hard time in life, because Jesus said that the day would come when a man’s foes would be those of his own household. And if you are like me, then that day has already arrived. Clearly then, it is better for us to love and pray for our enemies and not to hate them.

How do we pray for an enemy? Well to begin, we must forgive them in the same way Jesus and Stephen did and pray that God will not charge our persecution to their account. That keeps it from becoming personal. The Bible says that our fight is not with human beings, but with Satan and the powers of darkness (Ephesians 6:12). I can tell you that once you forgive an enemy, it is easier for you to pray for their salvation. For no man can truly hate an enemy if he is praying for them.

Jesus said that we should love and bless our enemies also, so that is what we should do. I have on occasion prayed that God would give my enemies a really good day: a day to experience the joy of not having Satan manipulate their every thought and emotion. Some of our enemies have children who have never experienced true love, happiness, and joy and are miserable because of it. We can pray that their children for once in their lives experience this. These are examples of how we can pray for an enemy.

Intercession for an enemy is even more important when it is a family member. Some of our loved ones are our enemies for the Gospel’s sake (Romans 11:28). Others are our enemies because they are carnal-minded and, therefore, will not and cannot be subject to the will of God (Romans 8:7). These won’t obey God, but we can still intercede on their behalf. We can pray, for example, that God will give them a measure of discernment for their benefit or for the safety of their children. This is biblical, because discernment comes from the Holy Spirit, and the Spirit gives Himself to whomever He will—even the unsaved.

Let’s suppose that your sister is an enemy for Jesus’ sake, and she has three young children, whom you love very much. You know how much Satan hates children, so you know that he is going to do whatever he can to not only corrupt them, but maybe even harm them. You can intercede on the behalf of your sister, by praying that the Lord would open her eyes to what people she should be careful not to allow around her children, or what television programs are not advisable for her children to watch, or to watch out for a certain neighbor who has designs on them. You can even pray that the Lord would soften her heart a little. And you can always pray a hedge of protection around her and her family. Of course, you should be praying that one day she will accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

In some instances, praying for a loved one can be more difficult than praying for an enemy, because they are so close to us. Satan often uses our closest family members to afflict us, because they are so close. This is especially true if the family member is not saved. For example, Satan may cause a spouse to be particularly rebellious, or unloving, or even promiscuous. Every married person has certain expectations of his or her spouse, and when those expectations aren’t met, it could be a major source of strife, discontent, and disharmony. When so many emotions are involved, it could be extremely difficult to pray for such a spouse, let alone actually intercede on their behalf. This has been the most difficult part of my personal Christian walk.

When one is going through such a struggle, one often forgets that, because the person is unsaved and in rebellion, they not only will not submit to the will of God, but they cannot submit to the will of God. And if they won’t submit to God’s will, it’s a foregone conclusion that they won’t submit to yours. This is all part of spiritual warfare.

The more determined one is to do the will of God, and intercede for the rebellious family member, the more determined Satan will be that the family member will rebel. This is spiritual warfare, so we must get our heads around this.

We should all intercede on the behalf of our family, relatives, and friends, even if they are our enemies. Though it can be very difficult at times, we should do it. After all, if we won’t, who will?

INTERCESSION FOR MOTHERS

Many women have absolutely no idea how to take care of a child. There are women, for example, coming from dysfunctional homes who have never experienced a loving, caring family environment where they received love and attention from their parents. Consequently, these women have no idea how to show love for their own children and are woefully inadequate to the task of effectively rearing a child. If these women are Christians, God can show them how to raise their children if they will ask him. The Bible provides us such an example in the life of the mighty Samson whose parents prayed for guidance about how to raise the boy before he was even born (Judges 13:1-18).

Most women, however, who come from such backgrounds do not know the Lord. Some of these women, for various reasons, are so inept at child rearing that they actually pose a danger to their children. They may be substance abusers or have other addictions. They are loving people, but the call of their addiction is stronger than their will to do right. They, therefore, pose a danger to their children. Many of these women have no family or friends to whom they can turn for help or advice, even if they were inclined to receive it. Others are cursed with a spirit of rebellion so serious that they will heed no advice. It can be almost impossible to help such women.

All these women need intercessory prayer. They need for someone to pray that God would grant them wisdom and discernment and show them how to properly raise their child. That’s where we come in. We can intercede on the behalf of such women and pray that God will intercede on their behalf and impart to them the wisdom to manage themselves or send someone into their lives who can help. And we can always pray a hedge of protection around their children.

INTERCESSION AND GENERATIONAL CURSES

Some parents are under a generational curse. This means that a parent or ancestor has committed some sin that is extremely grievous in the eyes of God, and for this sin, God has cursed the lineage of the person. Some of the most loving and intelligent women are under a generational curse and because of this, their children will also be cursed and, therefore, suffer from the same problems they do.

I believe it may be possible to not only intercede for that parent, but also to entreat God to forego his wrath for a generation to spare the child of the penalty of the parent’s rebellion and enable the child and, hopefully, the parent also, to seek God’s face. There is biblical precedent for this.

We know that King David was beloved of God and was said to be “after God’s own heart.” God showed incredible mercy on the house of David and the tribe of Judah because of David’s faithfulness to His word. When David’ son, Solomon, committed idolatry, God said,

“I will not take the whole kingdom out of [Solomon’s] hand…for David my servant’s sake…But I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand” (1 Kings 11:31b, 34, 35).

There is a second example. The twenty-first chapter of the First Book of the Kings tells how King Ahab displeased God by having a man killed so he could take possession of his vineyard, which the man had refused to sell to him. God tells King Ahab that for shedding innocent blood and for other crimes, He would destroy Ahab’s lineage. Upon hearing this news, King Ahab was afraid and humbled himself before the Lord, to which God responds:

“Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son’s days will I bring the evil upon his house” (1 Kings 21:29).

There are other examples, but from these two, a case can be made that under certain circumstances, God will postpone His judgment for a season: even for a generation.

There is more evidence to support this. In Exodus 20:5 God says that He would curse the children, but in Exodus 34:7, He says that He would curse “the children’s children.” I believe this is because if God allows a curse to skip a generation and fall not upon our sons or daughters, but upon their sons or daughters, then the curse will not fall upon our children, but upon our children’s children. This is why God says “unto the third and to the fourth generation.” If the curse skips a generation, it will be not unto the third generation, but unto the fourth generation.

Now, God accepted Job’s prayer for his friends, and the Apostle James tells us that God will forgive a brother’s sin for another who prays on his behalf. I, therefore, believe that because God is “Merciful and Gracious, Longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth” (Exodus 34:6), if it is His will, God will suspend His judgment for a season, if a brother entreats Him on another’s behalf. I truly believe this.

Now I have prayed just such a prayer for the child of a family member and for the child of a dear friend. When I did so, I asked God to forgive me if I were being presumptuous and to let me know if I were praying in error. And I have never had the feeling that I was wrong about this. In fact, it was because of my prayer for the child of my friend that I decided to write this article. Given that the present crop of children is farther from God than any previous generation, and that many of them are suffering from various psychological and behavioral problems that cannot be explained by conventional medicine, the discerning Christian should carefully consider what we have discussed here.

Prayer is an awesome privilege. Through prayer we have access to the throne of grace of the Sovereign Monarch of the Universe, and He has availed Himself to us any time of the day or night. But prayer is more than just a privilege; it is a duty. We owe it to the Lord Jesus Christ to pray for others the way He prayed for us.

Babylon Go’on Fall!

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvgJEYuKPyc

Grace and peace, believers, and greetings to my many enemies.

Today I watched CNN’s coverage of President Barak Obama’s historic “coming out” in support of gay marriage—a first for a sitting president—with great interest, and, to tell you the truth, I wasn’t the least bit surprised. It was only a matter of time.

With all due respect to our president, Barak Obama is a tool of the Antichrist and a herald of the New Age, as his actions clearly demonstrate. Though I didn’t vote for Obama, I pay him due deference, because the Bible tells us that we should respect those in government, and, as the head of the government of the United States, President Obama is entitled to our respect. But more than that, President Obama is entitled to—and very much in need of—our prayers. The man is in profound darkness.

What was remarkable about CNN’s coverage of Obama’s coming out was how often the word “evolution” was used with respect to the President’s announcement. A few of Pierce Morgan’s guests, for example, referred to public opinion on same-sex marriage—including President Obama’s—as having evolved. And the President himself said that his opinion’s on same-sex marriage were always “evolving.”

Understand that CNN’s repeated references to evolution with respect to gay marriage was no accident. Evolution stands counter to the Bible on every issue—including marriage, as homosexuals know all too well. In their belief system, those who hold to the biblical idea of marriage as being exclusively between a man and a woman are deemed to have not yet evolved as far as the rest of the world, and are keeping the world in the Dark Ages.

This is very important, because the centerpiece of evolution is the doctrine of “survival of the fittest,” which holds that some species of animal have not evolved apace with others, and that the weaker, less evolved animals are killed by the stronger or simply die off to conserve resources for the higher evolved. This idea has been applied by evolutionists to human beings (whom they consider only higher evolved animals) to mean that those humans that have not yet evolved far enough in their thinking should be eliminated for the benefit of the “higher evolved.” This is what is meant by “the greater good”: that some human beings are burdening society with their outmoded thinking and are simply not viable. Therefore, they should be eliminated for the benefit of the higher evolved.

To New Agers, this means Christians, who are considered a hindrance to the evolutionary advancement of mankind because of our “antiquated” and dogmatic thinking. We are thought to be holding back the human race from making the jump to the next step in its evolutionary journey towards perfection. So is it with the homosexual same-sex marriage movement. Christians are viewed as the enemy, because we worship the God of the Bible, Who says that homosexuality is an abomination and that marriage is to be exclusively between a man and a woman. Those homosexuals who support gay marriage, of course, hate God and anyone who loves Him.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson, on the Pierce Morgan show, said that homosexuals are not trying to change the definition of marriage. But this is a lie, because not only have some homosexuals stated openly that they are, in fact, working diligently to change the definition of marriage, but the homosexual movement’s efforts to legalize same-sex marriage, if successful, would achieve this very thing.

To illustrate my point, Pierce Morgan today interviewed the head of the Catholic League and a homosexual gentleman who was for same-sex marriage. The proponent for same-sex marriage said that the only criteria for marriage should be that the two people love each other, while the president of the Catholic League said that the danger in this is that if state constitutions (or, God forbid, the Constitution of the United States) were altered to reflect this thinking, there would be no way to prevent a brother and a sister from marrying. This would amount to government acceptance of incest. And he is absolutely right.

But there is a greater danger. If marriage were redefined as merely a civil union between two people who love each other, then there would be nothing to stop an adult from marrying a child, or even worse, an animal. There is a clear and present danger in this, because Humanism, evolution, and the animal rights movement, to name a few, all believe human beings to be nothing more than a higher evolved species of animal. Conversely, the animal rights community is pushing for animals to be granted the same rights as human beings. This would make animals “persons” in the legal sense and pave the way for human beings to have the right to marry them.

Clearly then, the same-sex marriage debate has farther-reaching implications than appear on the surface. The end game is not only to redefine marriage, but to ultimately do away with all prohibitions against homosexuality, pedophilia, bestiality, and all immorality: in short, to eliminate all of God’s rules. This has Satan written all over it.

Moreover, homosexuals say they only want the rights that all heterosexuals enjoy, but what they are actually doing is trying to get rights that no one else has. This is wrong.

Homosexuals have been planning this for a long time. That is the reason for the media’s incessant coverage of divorce statistics and child abuse among married heterosexual couples. Pierce Morgan, playing devil’s advocate, cited those very issues when asking the head of the Catholic League why loving homosexual couples should not be granted the same rights as heterosexual couples. We have been set up.

So, if you are a Christian, but you support same-sex marriage, I implore you to rethink this issue very carefully. Same-sex marriage—all the feel-good, oneness rhetoric notwithstanding—is not the will of God.

“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination” (Leviticus 18:22).

“If a man shall take his sister…it is a wicked thing…they shall be cut off in the sight of the people” (Leviticus 20:17).

“Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion” (Leviticus 18:23).

Thus saith the Lord.

Joseph Kony, CNN, and the New World Order

For the past few weeks, I have been watching CNN International and keeping up with the latest news stories. Two stories that CNN International has been covering extensively are the alleged abuse of children by Uganda’s Joseph Kony of the Lord’s Resistance Army and the alleged rape of a mentally challenged girl by a group of boys in Cape town, South Africa. Both stories are out of Africa, which I find very interesting.

Kony has been accused of forcibly conscripting children into military service—including young girls—many of whom have allegedly been used as sex slaves and child wives for Kony himself. CNN’s extensive coverage of Kony has been supplemented by an anti child-conscription commercial depicting what appears to be a one-room elementary school in Africa, which is suddenly accosted by a group of armed men in military attire, who storm into the school, select a young male, and quickly load him onto the back of a military vehicle before driving hurriedly away.

Additionally, YouTube has a video dedicated to Joseph Kony called Kony 2012. I was not aware of the extent of the global media coverage of Kony until I saw Kony 2012. I could not believe, given the atrocities that have been committed against American children (such as those that came to light during the investigation into the Franklin Savings and Loan, outlined in the book, The Franklin Coverup), that the media has been so consumed by the actions of an obscure African warlord halfway around the world. It just didn’t feel right.

Please don’t misunderstand me. Child abuse of any kind is wrong. But it just seems to me that the sudden media attention to Kony with respect to this issue is a little suspect under the circumstances.

The case of the mentally challenged girl who was gang raped has also received extensive media coverage. It is interesting that this incident, which occurred over a year ago, has now generated such intense media interest, given that rape in South Africa has been a huge problem for decades among the European and the black African populations alike.

The media’s intense coverage of these stories is highly suspect—given that the problem of child abuse and enslavement is not restricted to Africa. Why all this interest in Joseph Kony and child soldiers, when child abduction, child enslavement, and child sex trafficking is going on right here in the United States? Why all the media attention to the gang rape of a young girl in South Africa, when similar rapes are committed every day right here in the United States? It just doesn’t compute.

We all know that the media does not exist to inform, but to deform and reform—our thought processes, that is. The media always try to get us to look left when we should be looking right, or to look down when we should be looking up. Why should it be any different now?

So what does the media really want with Africa? Why all the sudden interest in Joseph Kony? I thought about this today and could come up with no other reason than that someone again wants Africa’s natural resources and that perhaps Joseph Koney is seen as a hindrance. I wasn’t satisfied with this answer, however, because it doesn’t explain the need for the media. One would think that the string pullers would want to keep the media attention away from Africa. So why is CNN and the rest of the media pushing the Kony agenda?

I must admit that politics has never been my strong suit. But since becoming a Christian I have come to understand that politics is essentially the social application of religion. What I mean by this is that people usually live their religion. They legislate their religion, they vote their religion, and they elect into public office those who share their religion (or at least those who share their religious convictions). Many only socialize and keep company with those who share their religious convictions, and, for many, their religious beliefs guide important financial, business, and personal decisions. Clearly, religion drives politics.

If religion is the basis for everything we do, and politics is the social outworking of religion, then everything that is going on in the world—including what we see going on in Africa—is based on religion, no matter how far removed from religion it may seem to be. If this is the case, then there should be some biblical precedent or reference in the Bible that could shed some light on current events, in particular the events taking place in Africa and the media’s intense interest in the Dark Continent.

By the way, if politics is based on religion, then the old saying, “I don’t discuss religion and politics” could not have come from a Christian, because the two go together “like peas and carrots.” But I digress.

I remembered that the book of Daniel has some things to say about Africa, so I went back to take a look. The moment I started reading, it began to make sense. In Daniel Chapters 10 and 11, the angel Gabriel explains to Daniel the meaning of a terrifying vision of the future which God had given Daniel. That future is the time in which we are now living. Speaking of the Antichrist, Gabriel says,

“He (the Antichrist) shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.

“He shall stretch forth also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

“But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps” (Daniel 11:41-43).

Understand that at the time the book of Daniel was written, the country of Ethiopia didn’t exist. At that time, the term “Ethiopian” applied to all blacks. Ethiopia means “the land of Ethiops.” Ethiops was another name for Cush, the son of Ham and the grandson of Noah. Cush was the father of the dark-skinned races—the Africans. The biblical Ethiopia, then, is Africa. Though the Lybians are also descended from Ham, they are not descended from Cush, and that is why the angel Gabriel makes a distinction between the Lybians and the Ethiopians.

So when Daniel says, “the Ethiopians shall be at his steps,” he means that all of Africa will be under submission to the Antichrist.

It is important, at this point, to emphasize my belief, based on the Bible, that the current pope, Benedict XVI, is the Antichrist. In that the Roman Catholic church has always had the goal of making it’s religion the universal religion of the world (catholic means “universal”) and the pope the universal monarch of the world, one must consider whether the events going on in Africa have the aim of not only securing the Vatican’s control over Africa and its vast natural resources, but the propagation of Roman Catholicism throughout Africa. It would also mean wresting control from the Muslims and bringing Islam under the control of the Roman Catholic church, as Islam is the major religion of many African countries. This would not be a stretch if what Jack Chick alleges in the Crusader comic Double Cross is true: that is, that the Roman Catholic church actually created Islam, which subsequently broke away and has rebelled until today.

This scenario is the only one that makes sense to me. Consider that Egypt, Lybia, and Syria (all Muslim countries) were relatively stable until last year. Then suddenly the pipes burst and we were going into Lybia to assist in taking out a sitting head of state that posed absolutely no threat to the people of the United States. Granted, I am politically challenged, but I could not see the geopolitical ramifications of this move. Only in view of what the Bible says, does the sudden instability and turmoil in these countries begin to make sense.

With this in mind, could CNN’s coverage of Joseph Kony and the Lord’s Resistance Army be intended to defame Kony and create an international groundswell of outrage sufficient to justify the UN sending a “peacekeeping” force into Uganda and the Congo to put down Kony? What (or whom) is the Lord’s Resistance Army really resisting and why does CNN and the media care?

Saints, we should think about these things and not jump on the Kony-bashing bandwagon. We should always watch the news with an eye towards prophecy. Things are often not at all what they appear to be.

The producer of the following YouTube video understands this completely.

Without Natural Affection: Powered Babies As Dietary Supplements

Dead baby pills: This is ground baby powder which tests discovered is 99.7 per cent human. Credit: The Daily Mail Online

Grace and peace, saints.

Today I read in several online newspapers that South Korean customs officials have discovered thousands of pills containing powered human flesh believed to be the remains of aborted or stillborn babies from China. Called “rejuvenation pills,” they were discovered in the luggage of tourists to South Korea, and are reportedly taken as a dietary supplement to boost energy and to improve sexual performance.

Some of the babies used in the pills allegedly died in so-called dying rooms: places in China where babies are allegedly left to die because they were born into families that already had reached the one-child limit. It is reported that more than 17,000 capsules were intercepted as they were smuggled into South Korea last year.

The San Francisco Times reported that tests carried out on the pills confirmed they were made up of 99.7 per cent human remains. The tests also identified hair and nails and even the genders of the babies used.

The Chinese are known for having a taste for strange and exotic foods and for using alternative remedies such as ground up rhino horns and the dried sex organs of certain animals, which are believed by many Chinese to heighten male virility. Historically, the Chinese have also consumed human placenta to improve blood supply and circulation. Many of these remedies are over 2,000 years old.

While this story concerns the consumption of fetuses for health reasons, there are reports that fetuses are also considered a delicacy by many Chinese and that gourmet body parts are in high demand and can even be purchased through hospitals. The Next Magazine, a Chinese publication, reportedly conducted an investigation into this form of cannibalism. A reporter from the magazine allegedly viewed an actual fetus being chopped up and soup being made from its placenta. The reporter was allegedly told by his escort, “Don’t be afraid, this is just the flesh of a higher animal.”

Saints, this is unfathomable. This horror is the fruit of Humanism, evolution, and the animal rights movement, all of which hold that humans are merely a higher, more evolved form of animal. This belief devalues human life and exalts animals into the human family. And as we contend in our article, Animal Rights and the New World Order, the assertion that human beings are just another specie of animal may one day be used to justify human sacrifice and even more horribly, cannibalism. The alleged consumption of human fetuses in China makes a strong case for this.

Think about it: if human beings are just animals like dogs and cats, and it is legal to eat dogs and cats, then it can be argued that humans should also be suitable for consumption. The Chinese have clearly figured this out, as dogs and cats are to many Asians what chickens and pigs are to Americans. The consumption of human beings by the Chinese then, is merely the next logical step in the evolutionary process of man: the complete debasing of the human race: a world where the life of a dog has more value than the life of a human being.

Come quickly, Lord Jesus.

An Unexpected Meeting With Ganesh

Grace and peace to the household of faith, and greetings to the unbelieving.

I’m still in Germany visiting with my wife and children, and, thus far, it has been a very good visit. One thing that is for sure is that my presence is greatly needed. As many of you may know, my wife is not saved, and though she claims to be a Christian, I have always believed she was a Roman Catholic. This is because of the terminology she uses (such as catechism and the Portuguese translation of “mass,” which she uses to mean church service). Additionally, Roman Catholicism is the largest religious denomination in her country, and, quite simply, her religious beliefs seem to be based largely on tradition rather than the Bible. I came to this conclusion during our four-year separation and had always anticipated the day when I would ask her in person to either confirm or allay my suspicions.

Well, on the second day of my visit, I asked her directly if she were a Roman Catholic and was mildly surprised when she admitted that she was, in fact, raised a Roman Catholic, even though she claims to have left the church years ago. You have no idea how important this was for me. It confirmed my fears that my wife’s problems are spiritual and stem from a generational curse. I say this not only because she was a Roman Catholic, but also because her family practiced witchcraft back in Africa, and I suspect even until the present day.

Understand that when a person is under a generational curse, he may have great problems discerning truth from error, as discernment comes from the Holy Spirit. While a person under a generational curse can become a Christian and be sealed by the Holy Spirit (I was such a person), I don’t believe he can be filled with the Holy Spirit. He may therefore be susceptible to myriad deceptions. Because my wife is not saved, and is easily deceived, I warned my children that they should be on the lookout for anything in the house that was anti-Christian.

I did this for two reasons. The first was because the crucifix is extremely important to Roman Catholics. As many of you may know, the crucifix, which is a cross with a dead “Jesus” hanging on it, is an abomination in the sight of God: not only because Roman Catholics worship it, making it an idol, but because it is actually a curse because of the dead Jesus hanging on it (Galatians 3:13, Deuteronomy 21:23). For more information on this, it would prove most illuminating to read our post on Generational Curses.

Because it is a curse, to bring a crucifix into one’s home is to bring a curse upon one’s family. So I have been concerned for some time that perhaps my wife had a crucifix or other occult object somewhere in the house, for although she claims to have left the Catholic church, she is and will always be a Roman Catholic, unless she repents and accepts the Lord Jesus as her Savior and denounces the Roman Catholic religion.

I have been married to two Roman Catholics, and I can tell you that Catholics worship a number of idols—not just the idol Mary—and are very accepting of other religions, having no problem reconciling them to their Roman Catholic faith. My wife likes to talk about religion—to everyone but me, of course—and it seems that people are always giving her things, which she, in turn, brings home. So, I have always had to keep my eyes open and be on the lookout for any religious items that she may bring home. Because my wife rarely turns anything down, I have had to be especially vigilant.

I had been doing this alone, until one day, when I discovered that one of my youngest daughter’s teachers was giving her class instruction on occult symbols. It happened on this wise:

One day I was reading the book, The New World Order, by A. Ralph Epperson, which features the all-seeing eye within a pyramid on the cover (a symbol that has been associated with the “Illuminati”). Suddenly, my daughter points to the pyramid and exclaims, “Papa, my teacher showed us that the other day.” It turns out their religion teacher had shown her class a gold Illuminati pyramid, which he seemed to characterize as a good thing. Shocked, I decided that the time was right to explain to my children the war between good and evil and the role that symbols play in this war.

Consequently, my children understand that symbols are deceptive, and they know that certain symbols are, in fact, evil. Mystery Babylon, as the worship of Nimrod and Semiramis is called in the Bible, uses occult hand signs to communicate. You may read more about it here. I had, therefore, enlisted my children’s help in looking out for occult symbols in their home in my absence. And it has paid off.

A couple of days ago, that same daughter, while helping her mother shred papers, pulled out from her documents a pocket calendar, the reverse side of which featured the Hindu God, Ganesh, the Elephant God. I was horrified. Of all the gods and goddesses in the world, the Hindu gods are to me the most demonic-looking. (By the way, I believe all gods and goddesses are simply manifestations of Nimrod, the son of Cush, and his wife, Semiramis. One of many pieces of evidence from the above photo that this is true of Ganesh, is the fact that he has a halo, or sunburst behind his head, which identifies him with the sun. After Nimrod was killed, he was deified as The Sun God. Thus, many gods such as Apollo, Zoroaster, and Horus, are also identified with the sun and are often depicted with halos or sunbursts over or behind their heads. And Apollo, Zoroaster, and Horus are all merely names for Nimrod.)

It sent a chill down my spine to know that this image of Ganesh was in my children’s home. My daughter said that the image frightened her too. She knew instantly that it did not belong in the house and she brought it straight to me.

I explained to her that Ganesh is a God of the Hindu religion and that there are temples to Ganesh all over India. Hindis worship the image of Ganesh, which makes him an idol, and the Bible teaches that behind every idol is a demon (1 Corinthians 10:19-20). Having an image or statue of Ganesh in one’s house, then, even imprinted on a card, could invite a demon into one’s home and into one’s life.

Many physical problems have a spiritual origin and often our problems are the result of sin in our lives. Though the Bible teaches that all disobedience is sin, there are certain sins that God hates more than others. God calls these sins abominations. Idolatry is number one on God’s list of abominations, and many who name the name of Christ unknowingly practice idolatry by bringing pagan images and objects into their homes in the guise of art. Fifteen minutes in the average person’s home would bear this out.

A reader, for example, sent me this photo:

This is the goddess Artemis, also known as Diana, the goddess of virginity and (ironically) sexual love and prostitution. This lady, having recently converted to Christianity, knew of the Holy Spirit that this did not belong in her home, and she wrote me for confirmation.

Now, some may say that if one is not worshipping a painting, sculpture, or any other artifact featuring a god or goddess, there should be nothing wrong with it. You must understand that all gods and goddesses are, in reality, Nimrod and Semiramis, the first king and queen of ancient Babylon. These two were, and still are, worshipped as gods, which makes them idols. If you are a Christian, then you want to make it absolutely clear that you worship no other god but the Lord Jesus.

So, I explained to my daughter that because her mother is not a true believer, she is not totally protected from satanic attack. The Bible teaches that the unbelieving spouse is sanctified by the (Protestant) Christian spouse:

“For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.”
1 Corinthians 7:14

In other words, in His grace, the Lord Jesus blesses the saved spouse by treating the unsaved spouse as though he/she were saved. He does this so the children will be protected and won’t suffer the same punishment as the children of an unsaved couple. I believe, therefore, that God protects my wife to some degree. But God also says that He will “by no means clear the guilty” (Exodus 34:7). That means that the spouse that is under a generational curse will be vulnerable to certain attacks by Satan, because this is part of the punishment for a generational curse. This will manifest in some way.

I cast out whatever demon Ganesh may have brought into the house, and my daughter tore the card into pieces and threw it into the trash. My wife denied ever seeing the card, and perhaps she was telling the truth, but there is no doubt it was with her things. What was more important was that my daughter learned, in a very tangible and practical way, that the Hindu religion is demonic. I had never thought to explain this to her, more concerned, as I was, about the Roman Catholics and Muslims among whom she lives. God, however, in His mercy and grace, provided an object lesson that was better than anything I could ever have thought of. Ultimately this was an example of how God uses for good that which Satan means for evil. Praise God for His goodness!

Keeping your home free of occult and antiChrist images and objects should be the concern of every Christian parent, especially if your spouse is a non-believer who practices or has practiced an idolatrous religion like Roman Catholicism, Mormonism, Buddhism, Hinduism, or any form of witchcraft like Santeria or the like, as many of those coming from these religions tend to have idols or shrines hidden in their homes. Someone with whom I was once involved, for example, used to hide glasses of water that she had prayed over, in various places in the house. She was also a Roman Catholic and practiced Santeria. Additionally, she had a small, wooden Buddhist shrine, which she kept in her closet. There is no doubt in my mind that these had a devastating spiritual effect on her and her family as they experienced many, many problems.

We should not strive to become experts on the occult, but we should have at least a rudimentary knowledge of what is not of God so that we can police our homes to make sure that there is nothing in them that is an abomination in the eyes of God or that blasphemes or dishonors the Lord Jesus. Satan is working overtime to influence our spouses and children, so we have to be diligent to protect our homes from satanic influence.

The Still Man

P.S. Further evidence that Ganesh is really Nimrod is the fact that one of his tusks is broken. Is it not strange that Ganesh, who is a god, would have a broken tusk? A broken tusk is a defect—a blemish—and gods are supposed to be perfect. Why then, would a perfect god be depicted with an obvious defect?

It is because the broken tusk is a symbol. A symbol of what? you may ask. Well, tradition has it that Nimrod, the great grandson of Noah, was killed by Noah’s son, Shem, who was Nimrod’s uncle and the father of the Jewish race. An ancient hieroglyph to show that someone had been killed, or “cut off,” was to show something related to the person as being broken, or cut off. Usually, it was something straight such as a pole, a staff, a column, or even a sword. In this case, it is a tusk.

Ganesh is Nimrod.

The Trayvon Martin case is about guns, not race.

Grace and peace, Saints.

In our post on the Trayvon Martin case, we predicted that gun ownership would become the primary issue. And now the Jello pudding man, Bill Cosby, confirms our suspicions. In a CNN interview, Cosby says that the Trayvon Martin case is about guns, not race. Of course, he was wrong on both counts, as Trayvon Martin is neither about guns nor race, but about our freedoms, or, more accurately, the loss thereof; for the Trayvon Martin case is merely a pretext for the government to disarm the American people by creating sufficient ire in the minds of peace-loving citizens for them to agree to do away with our Second Amendment right “to keep and bear arms.”

Cosby related that he once bought a gun to protect his family, but gave it back, because he found himself pulling out his gun whenever there was something going on outside his home that was not to his liking. Unknowingly, Cosby identified himself as having a personality similar to George Zimmerman’s whose mindset, according to Cosby, was changed by the presence of a gun in his hands: who felt himself a “hero” because he had a gun. Fortunately, the vast majority of gun owners are decidedly more mature than both Cosby and Zimmerman. But the powers-that-be don’t care.

Additionally, Kate Middleton’s sister, Pippa, apparently has her own gun-related problems. According to media sources, “Her Royal Hotness” was caught in the company of an associate who brandished a gun apparently to frighten off the paparazzi.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9Vi2bGoyJA

Now if you believe that the sister of the would-be Queen of the United Kingdom could possibly be that stupid, then I have some prime real estate in Chernobyl that I’m willing to sell you cheap. Now we know why Pippa Middleton was made a celebrity and why she was given a reputation as being sort of rebellious. This has all been planned in advance.

I believe that the gun issue in America and the rest of the world will ultimately be solved by the U.N. That is the reason the trial of Anders Breivik just happens to be going on at this particular time. Guns will be at the front of the global “collective consciousness” for the next few weeks at least. Of course, there will be a couple more shocking gun incidents thrown in just to ensure a worldwide groundswell of anti-gun sentiment. Disarmament will be promoted as the only way to ensure peace. And because the media will cover all these events ad nauseum, most well-meaning citizens will agree.

Because most gun owners in America will probably refuse to give up their guns, the U.N. may order a multi-national force into America to disarm the populace and restore order, just like they did in Libya, just like they will do in Syria, and just like they are doing everywhere else in the world. This, of course, will be accomplished as part of the War [of] Terror.

And atrocities will occur.

Hello, from Deutschland!

Grace and peace to my fellow pilgrims and sojourners, and greetings to those who know not wither they go.

You may have noticed that for roughly the last two weeks, this blog has been conspicuously devoid of new material. That my dear brethren, is because I have been in Germany visiting my children and having such a good time that I haven’t thought to write. Actually I have tried to write, but every time I get into it, one of the kids says, “Papa, did you come all the way over here to sit down in front of the computer?” or “Papa, are you done yet?” or “Papa, you want me to help? I know how to type.” or something like that, and I have had to cut it off and play with them. But I will be back to work soon. I have not forgotten my responsibility to the body of Christ.

I left right before Easter and so I did not manage to post the article I was working on about the occult origin of Easter and the real significance of Easter eggs. But I am still going to post it, God willing, in the next couple of days, because it’s good stuff to know.

I have been seriously out of the loop, so I don’t know the current status of the Trayvon Martin affair, but I would be very interested to know how it has progressed. As a matter of fact, I’ve only watched the news once since I’ve been here, so I’m really out of the swing of things. But the kids have kinda gotten used to me being here now, so I should be able to slip away (like right now) and get some things done.

Keep me in your prayers, Saints, for the devil has been one busy little bee. May God’s grace and peace rest on every one of your households.

Grace and peace to my brethren in the Lord, and greetings to the wandering stars.

Today I bring you this article from last march, since I didn’t manage to post it last week. It concerns America, which I believe to be the nation spoken of in Chapter 18 of the Book of the Revelation. As you may know, God will destroy this nation for its crimes against humanity and against God and His prophets.

I invite you to read it and see if you can understand how I came to this conclusion.

Memory Verse April 2-8

Grace and peace, Saints!

This week’s memory verse comes from 1 Peter 1:13:

“Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”

The theme this week is courage and vigilance. I love the way Peter puts this. To gird oneself meant to put on one’s belt, to which one’s sword was usually attached. In that Peter is speaking metaphorically, we may assume that he means to put on our spiritual armor; to steel ourselves for the task ahead; to get ourselves in the right frame of mind.

He next admonishes us to be sober, meaning to be serious, awake, and aware. This will not be difficult if we constantly remind ourselves that we are in a war. Soldiers never have to be admonished to be sober, because they know that if they allow themselves to get lazy and complacent, they could be surprised by the enemy. Likewise we should always remember that we too are in a war, and we can ill afford to forget it.

Lastly, Peter reminds us why we do what we do: we are waiting patiently for the coming of our Lord Jesus, whom we shall see face to face when we claim the reward allotted us through grace.

Wherefore, Saints, let us gird up the loins of our minds and fight the good fight, until the good Lord brings us home.

Jesuits!

Grace and peace to the body of Christ, and greetings to the lost.

Saints, the sand in the hourglass is almost spent, and the fullness of the Gentiles is almost fully come as we are nearing the culmination of time and the coming of the Great God and our Savior Jesus Christ.

Satan knows his time is short, so he is pulling out all the stops in his insane quest for power and revenge: and his many children are working feverishly to deceive the body of Christ toward that end.

Without question, the most evil of Satan’s children is the Roman Catholic church and it’s diabolical henchmen, the Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuit Order. According to the testimony of former Jesuit priest, Alberto Rivera, the Jesuits are responsible for nearly all the wars that have ever been fought in every country in the history of the world. The Jesuit Order instituted the Counter Reformation in 1541 to combat the Protestant Reformation started by Martin Luther. Their goal: to destroy Protestantism and ensure that the pope of Rome is the universal monarch of the world. And with every passing second, they are closer to reaching that goal.

The Bible tells us that the Great Whore of Babylon; that is, the Roman Catholic church, will indeed again rule the world: but only for forty two months or three and a half years. Then the King of Kings, Jesus Christ, will return and the Saints of God shall possess the kingdoms of the world under the authority of Jesus, ruling from Jerusalem and seated in the throne of David. But before then, Saints, the Church will have to pass through some very difficult times.

Now there are many touting a Rapture who believe that the Church will not go through the Tribulation and will not see the Antichrist. I can tell you right now that this is patently false as every person on earth who is old enough to read a newspaper or watch and understand the news on television has already seen the Antichrist: for he is none other than the Bishop of Rome, pope Benedict XVI.

Many will find this hard to believe, because they have been deceived by the ministers of Satan operating within the Christian church. But this can be easily confirmed by the Word of God and just a little secular research. I ought to know: I did that very thing and came to that conclusion.

Others have come to the conclusion that the pope of Rome is the Antichrist, including the great reformer Martin Luther, Spurgeon, and a host of preachers and theologians. If you have read our article revealing the identity of the Antichrist, then you too should have found compelling evidence to support this claim. But if you still find it difficult to believe that those sweet little nuns, those grandfatherly old priests, and those well-mannered Catholic boys and girls could ever be a part of the most destructive engine of terror in the history of the world, then perhaps this video may help to convince you.

I must first warn you that the narrator, Jim Arrabito, was a Seventh Day Adventist. Now I’m not going to expend any energy trying to convince you that Seventh Day Adventism is not true Christianity: just the fact that about two minutes into the video Arrabito says that the “woman who rides the beast” of Revelation 17 is “the Roman Catholic church and fundamental Christianity” ought to convince you of that.

By the way, Mr. Arrabito’s comment is proof positive that every religion that is not of Jesus Christ is opposed to the true Church of Jesus Christ even though they may pretend to want to fellowship with us. I have found this to be true with Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Roman Catholics, to name a few.

Understand that it is not unusual that there are many who have come into the truth of the Antichrist who are not Christians. Satan often allows these people to tell the truth about him or one of his organizations in order to lend legitimacy to them. God also sometimes allows it because He is wooing someone trapped in one of these false religions to Him, and He uses whatever truth there is in such a system to wake them up. But at the end of the day, their faulty doctrine will manifest itself in some way, revealing them as a counterfeit.

Such is the case with the Seventh Day Adventist church. What is even more remarkable is that during the course of this video, you will hear two people—one of them Dr. Alberto Rivera—tell Mr. Arrabito that the Seventh Day Adventist church is controlled by the Roman Catholic church. But he just acts as though he never heard it. As the Bible says, there are many who are “ever learning, but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.” Such are “willingly ignorant”—they can’t handle the truth.

Prayerfully watch this video, Saints, and let it indue you with a renewed vigor to witness for Christ during the precious few hours of daylight that remain.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hw9sOhhcK_o

There is only one thing that we must yet endure: the Great Tribulation. We must prepare our hearts children, as many of us will go to meet the Lord Jesus only after having paid the uttermost farthing. But let us keep pressing forward toward the mark of the high calling of Jesus Christ.

Trayvon Martin, CNN, And The New World Order

Grace and peace, Saints, and greetings to the unsaved.

I have not been following the Tayvon Martin case very closely, because it is a very sad affair. Since the story broke over a month ago, I had not read more than one story about it, and I had not followed it on the television set, as I seldom watch it. But earlier this week I went to the store to enjoy a donut and a cup of tasty coffee, and was watching CNN’s coverage of the Trayvon Martin case, when Anderson Cooper interviewed the spokesperson for the New Black Panther Party. I will tell you that I was at once speechless, angry, sad, and amazed: for this man’s rhetoric was so incendiary as to be completely useless to affect a peaceful resolution to any situation. His speech was only suitable for war. And war was what he was talking.

I would be the first to tell you that blacks in America have suffered unspeakable persecution; of that there can be no doubt. But nothing ever has nor indeed can ever be gained by proposing violence as a solution to this country’s racial problems. Violence only begets more violence, and the historical record bears sufficient witness to this. The only answer is Jesus, which presents a problem, because painfully few Americans want to have anything to do with Him.

So here was this man, Mikhail Mohammed, speaking on behalf of the New Black Panther Party telling Anderson Cooper that he was going to “make” the Florida criminal justice system do its job, as though he actually had the power to do it. And he chose the two angriest looking members of his group to stand on either side of him as a sign to the world just how angry this black group was. I can tell y0u without any opinion polls or water cooler consensus that this man did not win anyone to his cause except rebels, anarchists, and other angry black Americans. The man rendered me absolutely dumbstruck with the manner in which he chose to state his case. It was obvious to me that there were only three possibilities for this man’s behavior on national television.

1. He is a paid agent provocateur for elements in this country who want to instigate a race war to hasten in the New World Order.

2. He is profoundly clueless as to the history of black movements in the United States. Just look at what happened to the original Black Panther Party members and even more shockingly, the burning of the Move Group in Philadelphia. (Note: pay close attention to what the narrator says at 11:02. It is prophetic.)

3. All of the above.

I and others strongly believe that it has always been the plan of Mystery Babylon to use the blacks in this country to bring about a violent revolution which the puppet masters will use to their advantage. Charles Manson prophesied just such a revolution which he called Helter Skelter. The crux is as follows: disgruntled blacks would be agitated, instigated, and incensed to the point of revolt. They would be armed and funded by the invisible string pullers and allowed to rape, pillage, plunder and eventually take over the government of the United States. Then the invisible string pullers would take over the government from them. A group like the New Panther Party is tailor made for such an operation, because, from what I could see of their leader, they are angry enough and sufficiently motivated to do it.

But this scenario would never be allowed to go through to fruition because Mystery Babylon would never allow blacks to take over the United States. What they would do, however, is allow blacks such as those in the New Black Panther Party to incite violence and mayhem and create a riot situation that they could use to their advantage.

Remember that Mystery Babylon operates on the Hagelian principle of conflict resolution. They create a problem so bad that the people would do anything to see it resolved. They then suggest as a resolution the very thing they wanted to do in the first place, but knew the people would never sign off on. Such would be the worse-case scenario here. The government could use the violence created by angry black mobs as a pretext to declaring martial law and sending in U.S. troops to quell the violence. And once the troops are in place, I guarantee you they will never leave. Even if it never comes to violence, the mere threat of violence by groups such as the New Black Panther Party could be enough to set the wheels in motion if peace-loving citizens were concerned enough that they pleaded with the government to stave off a potential riot situation.

That is why my ears pricked up when Mikhail Mohammed seemed to imply that violence could be used to see their ends met if the Florida criminal justice system did not take the action he felt was warranted. Perhaps this is not what he meant, but Mohammed’s claim that the NBPP believes in “a life for a life” would seem to suggest that very thing.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLiJ4k5QPNs

And not only that, but the NBPP offered a $10,000 bounty for the “legal citizen’s arrest” of George Zimmerman, the alleged shooter of Trayvon Martin. However, the bounty was condemned and repudiated by Martin’s family and others, including the “Reverend” Jesse Jackson. Ironically, though Mohammed cited the Constitutional right to a citizen’s arrest, he also added, “I don’t obey the white man’s law, I don’t follow the American law.”

Understand that the scenario that I have just outlined is not only possible but highly probable. Race division is the most successful tactic Satan ever devised. When employed it seldom fails, because of the anger some blacks still feel over slavery, racism, and the inequality of the criminal justice system in America, the anger and resentment some whites harbor over the Civil War and the election of a black president, and the fear and guilt of many of both races who feel caught in the middle.

It is this last group as well as the international community that would be affected by the inflammatory rhetoric of the New Black Panther Party. Understand that Satan hates blacks, Christians, and Jews. The New World Order will persecute and try to eliminate all three. But before this can happen, all three groups have to be demonized in the eyes of the world community. They have to be seen as the only hindrances to the “utopian” world community that the purveyors of the New World Order have been promoting. That way when the “final solution” is proposed, many will not be averse to it.

That was the importance of Anderson Cooper’s interview with the leader of the New Black Panther Party. There are few in the world who have not heard of the history of black slavery in America. For years many have said that slavery was actually a good thing because it “curtailed the inherent evil nature of black people” by keeping them crushed under bondage so that they could not plan nefarious actions. Hitler said this same thing about the Jews to justify the Holocaust.

This is crucial. Many in the world community were and are appalled by the savagery and inhumanity of American slavery and the Nazi Holocaust, and are sympathetic to the historical plight of Jews and Blacks. But if angry black groups are constantly shown on CNN, which is broadcast the world over, then the international community may come to believe that blacks really are a threat to “peace and security,” and may actually support whatever measures are deemed necessary to “control” them.

Moreover, on the same day I saw this CNN coverage of the Trayvon Martin case, CNN also aired interviews with two well-known black singers: Chaka Khan and Natalie Cole. The Natalie Cole interview was mostly about her friendship with Whitney Houston, but the Chaka Khan interview was all about the Trayvon Martin case. And I will tell you, she all but said that America is a racist country and that there has been essentially no improvement in the treatment of blacks in America. Yet here she was, a black female singer, who has made millions of dollars over her long career being interviewed on worldwide TV and BEING ASKED HER OPINION. She even promoted a single inspired by the Trayvon Martin case. Yet she totally missed the sublime irony of that moment.

Now what will the international community think if, on the one hand, they hear that America is a racist country that oppresses black people, while on the other hand, an apparently angry black man representing an organization that has been called a hate group (not that it is true) appears on worldwide TV seething with anger and pontificating on racial injustice, followed by a successful black female singer declaring that there has been no improvement in black conditions since the Civil Rights Era while simultaneously promoting her latest single? I can tell you that there will be no sympathy for black people on the part of the international community, not even for Trayvon Martin.

And that is the point of CNN’s extensive coverage of the Trayvon Martin case. This became clear to me when Mikhail Mohammed told Anderson Cooper that he hated to disappoint him by not reacting in the way he felt Cooper wanted, to which Cooper, with a wry smile, replied that he was not at all disappointed, but, in fact, very pleased by the man’s reaction. Hate-filled speech was exactly what CNN wanted from Mohammed, and he did not fail to deliver.

This is what many are not seeing in this whole Trayvon Martin case. The United States is presently engaged in a “war on terror,” and will be at war until all threats against “peace and security” have been eliminated. Understand that Mystery Babylon’s definition of peace is “the elimination of all opposition to the New World Order.” At some point, blacks will be seen as such an opposition, and the whole Trayvon Martin case will be used to demonstrate this to the world. I have no doubt about that.

And there is a more sinister element to this drama. You can look for the attention in the Trayvon Martin case to shift from George Zimmerman to his weapon. Chaka Khan, in the same interview, alluded to this when she stated that Zimmerman wasn’t an official neighborhood watchman, but a volunteer—an armed volunteer. It will be suggested that if Zimmerman had not been armed, this tragedy would never have happened. And, again, the weapon, rather than the person, will be demonized and used as a pretext to further (or permanently) disarm the American people.

Understand that since 2008, active duty troops from all branches of the military have been standing at the ready to assist with “homeland security.” And one of these units is conveniently located at Fort Stewart, Georgia.

I want to draw your attention to this statement from the above report:

“Active-duty soldiers will be part of a force that includes elements from other military branches and dedicated National Guard Weapons of Mass Destruction-Civil Support Teams.”

It is important to understand that President Barak Obama last year communicated a major policy shift in the war on terror when he declared that “lone wolf” terrorists in America would be the administration’s primary terrorism focus. In this same speech the President seemed to imply that guns are now considered weapons of mass destruction.

If one combines the crucial elements above, that is:

1. active-duty military troops being used in civilian crowd control situations,

2. that these troops will be part of a force that includes military “Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Teams,

3. President Obama essentially calling guns weapons of mass destruction,

then training exercises involving law enforcement and military Weapons of Mass Destruction units begin to make sense.

It is clear then, that there is more to the Trayvon Martin case then meets the eye. Note that Mikhail Mohammed repeatedly referred to the New Black Panther Party as a “military organization.” This could be used to justify the U.S. military’s involvement to prevent or quell violence.

That is why, my brothers and sisters in Christ, we must pray that God will not allow Mystery Babylon to use the Trayvon Martin tragedy for their nefarious purposes. They will have their New World Order, but they don’t have to get it like this. Understand that if they succeed in using this case as a pretext to declare martial law and send in troops, it will never end. It will only be the beginning. For not only will they declare martial law and intern millions of blacks, but they will disarm all Americans and intern millions of non-black citizens as well. And then the nightmare will begin.

Be encouraged and look up, for your redemption draweth nigh.

The Still Man

P.S. An example that CNN is being used to enflame racial tension is that on its coverage of the Trayvon Martin case which I viewed on Monday, March 26, they had one of their “sound experts” clean up the recording of George Zimmerman’s 911 call, which they admitted was being used as evidence in Martin’s murder. After they “cleaned it up” they aired it for the public. Now when did it become legal for a civilian news agency to manipulate and broadcast evidence to be used in a murder? Folks, the New World Order is not coming: it’s already here.

P.S.S. Proof that the Trayvon Martin affair was planned well in advance and is part of the Roman Catholic Takeover of America, is the fact that both George Zimmerman and Rachel Jeantel, Trayvon’s alleged girlfriend, were seen flashing the Cult of Mary hand sign during the trial.

What (Who) Do The Rapture And The “Curse of Ham” Have in Common?

Grace and peace, believers.

I’m very sorry that I haven’t posted anything relevant in over a week. Every now and then, it seems that my head gets so full trying to process the incredible deception that is being perpetrated on the American people, that I can’t seem to write about anything.

What triggered this latest episode was reading a book called The Coming Christ, written by the president of the Gospel Tract Society, Tom Buttram. The book deals with Buttram’s interpretation of end times events, and I must say that it is not so much what the book says that concerns me as what the book doesn’t say. That is because, while The Coming Christ purports to warn the body of Christ of the impending Tribulation, and to give a time line for the most notable events thereof, it totally ignores the subjects that are most important to the Christian, such as the identity of the Antichrist, the identity of the Abomination of Desolation, the Mark of the Beast, and other events leading up to the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus.

Understand, saints, that prophecy is extremely important. Jesus told us of those things that are coming upon the world not only for our edification, but also for our encouragement. The Great Tribulation of the Christian church will soon be upon us, as I am sure you can tell by events being played out in the media every day. The Lord Jesus has given us a time line of things to look out for so that when these things happen, we won’t be taken by surprise. The Bible says that God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, of love, and of a sound mind. God does not want us to be in fear, so He has foretold in His word everything that is coming.

The problem is that Satan has his ministers working overtime producing books, CDs, podcasts, etc. that disseminate false information based on false interpretations of Scripture. Satan’s goal, of course, is to deceive the body of Christ and have us either living in fear of those things that will come upon us, or give us a false sense of security through heretical doctrines such as the Rapture.

The Coming Christ, for instance, while mentioning the Antichrist, does not even venture to disclose who he may be. Believe me, the identity of the Antichrist is important to every Christian, because that Antichrist and his false church are very busy right now deceiving billions of people into hell. And through the Ecumenical Movement, the Antichrist has completely infiltrated the visible Christian church, which has now essentially become one of the many orders of the Roman Catholic church.

If you have not guessed by now to whom I am alluding, I will tell you outright. The Antichrist is none other than Pope Benedict XVI and the Abomination of Desolation is the idol that all Roman Catholics worship as the Virgin Mary. The Bible gives so many details regarding both the Antichrist and the Abomination of Desolation as to make their identities crystal clear to anyone who takes the time to look. Yet, Buttram completely evades any worthwhile discussion of these subjects.

What further disturbs me about this author is that he says that he received a new revelation from the Lord to the effect that the Rapture theory, which he claims to have held to for decades, is unbiblical; and he does this after decades of producing literature supporting the Rapture. Now if this man were truly doing the work of God, would it have taken fifty years for God to reveal this to him? Of course it would not. God would not allow any of his workers to deceive the body of Christ for fifty minutes let alone fifty years. Yet this is exactly what Buttram wants us to believe.

Now many will claim that we are supposedly “a work in progress,” and therefore, are entitled to make a mistake or two in our exegesis. While this may be true to an extent, understand that the Rapture is a clear heresy, as the Bible only teaches a Resurrection. So while an immature lay Christian could be deceived initially into believing this teaching, this is inexcusable for a Christian tract ministry. Tract ministries are responsible to God for what they teach and if they are ordained of Him, they will have the Spirit of God and His wisdom. A God-ordained tract ministry will, therefore, not make this kind of grievous doctrinal error. Therefore, the Gospel Tract Society, which publishes The Coming Christ, could not be of God.

There is one more disturbing element to this story that may better illustrate my consternation. Tom Buttram, president of The Gospel Tract Society and author of The Coming Christ, endorses another book on end times prophecy called The Harvest. Written by John L. Dudley, this book is literally spiritual poison, and I will prove it. But first, I want to present what Buttram, who reprinted Dudley’s book and wrote the foreword, had to say about it:

“I took the book, The Harvest home and later picked it up and just opened it to the middle somewhere and started reading aloud to my wife. As I read, tears began to stream down my cheeks, as the truth I had known, but was yet unable to verbalize was coming off the pages. My wife said, “Tom, that is exactly what you have been saying,” as she too was wiping away tears. At that point I couldn’t read fast enough—I read toward the front, then to the back, skipping all around trying to catch up on fifty-five years of being confused” (foreword).

He then added this glowing endorsement:

“[The Harvest] is unlike so many that make claims, this book is anointed, a thrown out treasure brought from days past for the Church today.”

Now let me show you a sample of the book’s “anointed” teaching:

“[Eve] then ate of the forbidden tree, and like Satan, she sought to involve someone else in her sin—Adam. And the seed has continued to grow in the heart of His descendants to this day. (Note that “His” (Adam’s) is capitalized as one would do for a deity.)

“The seed was carried through the Flood by Ham and demonstrated to the world through the nations that he fathered.[1] The point I wish to make, however, is that through the descendants of these two men, God has taught us the nature of the two seeds.

“The Lord has used the descendants of Ham to teach the nature and fruit of the tare, as he has also used the descendants of Shem (Israel), to teach the nature and fruit of the wheat” (p. 15). [Footnote and CAPS in the original.]

It is interesting that the author claims that Ham and his descendants are the manifestation of “the seed” of evil as the result of Adam and Eve’s sin. He completely skips over the very first manifestation of their sin in the Bible: the murder of Abel by Cain: an incident that is highly significant, because it emphasizes death as the ultimate result of sin. For not only will sin lead to our own deaths, but it was our sin that hung Jesus on the cross and murdered Him. Yet, Dudley, in his zeal to personify sin as the descendants of Ham, conveniently overlooks this.

This illustrates the author’s faulty exegesis, because in the first place, the “seed” spoken of by God in Genesis 3:15 is a spiritual seed as Satan is a spirit, and, therefore, cannot produce offspring. Dudley clearly recognizes this as he says on the following page that “the father of the seed they (the religious leaders of Jesus’ day) bore was the Devil” (p. 16). It is clear, then, that he knows that the seed was spiritual and not physical. Why, then, does the author make the following comment in the footnotes found on page 98:

“Ham fathered Canaan, Babylon, Egypt, Philistim (the Philistines), Sodom, Gomorrah, and a host of other nations which inhabit Africa. They all have a history of heavy involvement in immorality and the occult.

“These nations have fathered multitudes of idolatrous religions, incorporating the most grotesque sins which have been an abomination to Jehovah (the Lord God). The Scriptures speak of them with negative connotations, and infer their eventual demise.

“To state that all of the descendants of Ham are wicked would be as incorrect as stating that all of the descendants of Shem are righteous. However, the immoral character of Ham was recognized by his father Noah, and that immoral character occasioned the curse which follows the descendants of Ham to this day (See Gen. 9:25).” [Parentheses in the original, boldface mine.]

This is just flat out false. Not wrong, false: false in the sense that it is contrary to the Word of God. The author cites Genesis 9:25 as the source for his claim that God placed a curse on the descendants of Ham. This is untrue, as Genesis 9:25 reads:

“And [Noah] said, Cursed be Canaan, a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.”

Ham fathered several sons:

“And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan” (Genesis 10:6).

As you can see, God only cursed Canaan and his descendants, not Ham and all of his descendants. Proof of this is the fact that God drove out all of the Canaanites from the land that ultimately became Israel (Deuteronomy 18:12-14). This was the fulfillment of the prophecy. Moreover Sodom and Gomorrah, which the author mentions in the same breath as Africa, were part of Canaan:

“And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest unto Sodom, and Gomorrah…” (Genesis 10:19).

As one can plainly see, it was Canaan who was cursed by God, not Ham, nor his other sons.

Africans and American Blacks are descendants of Ham, but through his son, Cush, not Canaan. In fact, until the mid twentieth century, most archeologists and historians referred to Africans as Cushites. These two false doctrines: that blacks are the descendants of Canaan, and that God cursed Ham, when He really cursed Canaan, were used for many years to justify slavery and racism. Those who advocated enslaving the Negro justified their beliefs by promoting the lie that slavery was the manifestation of God’s curse on Ham. And now this poisonous doctrine has reared its serpentine head in the twenty-first century. And through whom? A so-called Christian ministry!

What angers me most is that Tom Buttram, of the Gospel Tract Society, claims to have had his eyes opened by God, yet he cannot see a truth that is as plain as the nose on his face. Can a man of God be capable of such marvelous blindness? I highly doubt it.

What is the significance of this? Understand that racism is of the devil, and though Satan hates all humanity, he hates blacks and Jews more than everyone else. And if Satan hates blacks and Jews, then his ministers and ministries will also hate blacks and Jews. I have seen Satan’s hatred of the Jews manifest for years in the “Christian” church as Replacement Theology and the Black Israelite cult, but I had yet to see it in the modern church. With the release of The Harvest, reprinted and endorsed by the Gospel Tract Society, this has now been accomplished.

“The Curse of Ham” actually accomplishes two things: not only does it help spread false doctrine concerning the black race, but it also helps to discredit the Christian church by demonizing Christianity as a hateful religion. Homosexuals have argued for years that the Bible is hate literature because it condemns their lifestyle, while some New Agers, many of them black, have decried the Bible as being responsible for slavery because of the errant curse of Ham doctrine. Blacks and gays have united against the Bible before for these same reasons: for example, during the Harlem Renaissance, and again during the civil rights struggles of the 60’s. The reemergence of this doctrine, in the New Age movement, will be yet another opportunity for rebellious gays and wayward blacks to again band together to curse the Bible and Christianity.

Understand, saints, that racism is one of Satan’s favorite tools. It divides more effectively than probably any other of his methods. 2012 is a big year on Mystery Babylon’s calendar, and they fully intend to put the finishing touches on their plan to bring in the Kingdom of Antichrist. So you can look to see more vitriol spewed against blacks and Jews and more incidents of “racism” and race hate as Satan sets the stage for the final persecution of his old enemies: the blacks, the Jews, and the Christian church. The Trayvon Martin case is being used for precisely this reason.

So as you can see, there is much reason for concern, and for this reason, I have been groaning in my spirit to learn that yet another ministry I once supported may actually be a tool of the devil. Add this to the discovery of occult hand signs on one of Jack Chick’s tracts and the realization that he too, espouses the Rapture theology, and you can see how this would affect me, even though I know that as Satan himself appears as an angel of light, so shall his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness.

I am slowly emerging from my shock-imposed lethargy and will try to start posting regularly. But the focus of this ministry may change somewhat. Since Satan’s ministers are working feverishly to deceive the body of Christ by distorting or avoiding all teaching on prophecy, it may be necessary for me to also expend an inordinate amount of energy to properly teach biblical prophecy to the end that the body of Christ will be edified, energized, and encouraged. But instead of putting it in a book as I had before said I would do, I will make everything available on this site. I am still trying to figure out exactly how I will do this, but God willing, I will do it.

In the meantime, avoid the books The Harvest and The Coming Christ. If you still choose to read them, be very careful to do so under the guidance and protection of the Holy Ghost, lest you too be deceived.

P.S. Remember how Dudley capitalized the “h” in His when referring to Adam? As I said, one would normally do this for a deity. Did you know that Mormonism, the religion of presidential hopeful, Mitt Romney, considers Adam God? Look it up. If Dudley is a Mormon, then his adherence to the blasphemous Curse of Ham doctrine is totally understandable, given that Mormonism also teaches that blacks are cursed. Don’t believe it? Then get the book, The God Makers. It will open your eyes. You may also want to check out the following video produced by the author of the book.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfz6pG5JRQY

The reader may also find it interesting to note that Independence, Missouri, home of the Gospel Tract Society, is also home to the international headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints—the Mormons. In fact, Independence, Missouri was founded by Mormons.

Now with this in mind, was Dudley’s capitalization a typo or an intentional homage to his god? You decide.

P.S.S. 7/19,2013. Pope Francis, the newly installed Jesuit pope, is the biblical False Prophet, while the Mark of the Beast, I believe, will be the seal of the Papacy: the so-called Keys of Saint Peter.

Be encouraged and look up, for your redemption draweth nigh.

The Still Man

Man, You Don’t Know Jack!

Grace and peace, Saints.

Chick tracts have been around for decades now. The first time I saw a Jack Chick tract I was around sixteen years old. My father, who was an associate pastor, ran an electronics repair shop where he also sold Christian literature. Once, while helping him to clean the shop, I picked up a comic book that told the story of a former Spanish Jesuit priest who exposed the plans of the Jesuit Order and the Roman Catholic church to take over the world. I was to learn later that this man’s name was Alberto Rivera and his story was told in the “Alberto” series of comic tracts by Chick Publications. I never forgot that tract.

Chick tracts are great witnessing tools. As a matter of fact, it was the Chick tract, This Was Your Life that led to my salvation. Chick tracts use scripture references from the King James Bible, which I personally believe is the inspired Word of God, and they apply doctrine accurately in most cases; most, I say, but not all.

Besides being great evangelism tools, Chick tracts are great for learning scripture, especially for kids. They love the cartoons, and I always left an open box of tracts on the dining room table for my kids to read, and I would encourage them to look up the Bible verses they found in the tracts and to try to commit them to memory.

I have passed out thousands of Chick tracts both in the U.S. and overseas for over seven years now, and I trusted them. So imagine my surprise when I saw this in the Chick tract, Why Is Mary Crying?

Occult hand sign in Chick tract, Why is Mary Crying?

Notice the hand of the angel. It is painfully obvious that the curious position of the middle fingers means something, and that something is not Christian. If you read our post Occultism and the Christian Church, you understand that this hand sign is in widespread use these days, especially in Hollywood. Opinions are mixed as to what it means. Some say it is the “M” for Mason, while others say it is the “El Diablo” hand sign with the middle fingers straightened rather than curled. But I think it is actually a sign for the Antichrist, “the number of the Beast.” And that number is 666.

You see, the Greek (as well as Jewish) letter that corresponds with the number six is “V.” So the Jewish and Greek numeric counterpart to VVV is 666, the number of the Beast. Now notice that the fingers of the angel form three Vs. Interesting, is it not?

UPDATE: We now understand that this hand sign is related to the worship of Semiramis, the wife of Nimrod and queen of ancient Babylon. Semiramis has also been called Ishtar, Ashtoreth, Isis, Lakshmi, Diana of Ephesus, and many, many other names. Today, she is most commonly known as the Virgin Mary.

Memory Verse for March 19-25

Grace and peace, Saints.

We are sticking with the theme of fear. Our memory verse for this week is Psalm 4:8:

“I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.”

I can personally relate to this verse. Those of you who have read Chronology of Joy and God is in Control, know about the spiritual warfare I have been involved in for years, and that a major part of that warfare involves attacks upon me by the powers of darkness using electromagnetic resonance weapons and noise campaigns. There was a time early on when, because of these attacks, I was lucky to get two or three hours of sleep at night, or any sleep at all, for that matter.

Now I know that God loves me, and that if He allows me to go through something, it is for a reason. So, I would ask myself (and Him) why it was the He was allowing my enemies to rob me of sleep. I realized that one of the reasons was for me to understand that God holds the power of sleep.

Recall that there are several times in the Bible where God causes men to fall under a deep sleep. He caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep when he took out his rib to make Eve. He caused Abraham to fall into a deep sleep and gave him the vision of the Christian church and Israel’s future enslavement. He caused King Saul and his men to fall into a deep sleep in the cave so that David could steal his spear and cruse of water. And He caused Peter’s guards to fall into a deep sleep so the angel could take him out of prison. Sleep comes from God.

Besides using EMR weapons to wake me, my enemies would cause so much noise that, when I dozed off, I would awaken suddenly. It got so bad, that I had to wear earplugs just to get any sleep at all. Then I would wonder whether I would hear an intruder coming in the house.

Then God asked me a simple question: Am I not God? And if I am God, don’t I have both the power to give you sleep and to protect you while you sleep? I understood that the answer was “Yes” to both questions. So I took out the earplugs and went to sleep. And I have never used them again. Even when the enemy wakes me up (and sometimes this is several times a night) I manage to go right back to sleep; and when I can’t, I get on my knees and pray, so that even those times are used in spiritual warfare. So I can’t lose. And that is exactly what God wanted me to understand.

So, lay yourself down in peace and fear not, knowing that the Lord will keep you during the night watches. He will make you to dwell in safety.

Give Me Water

“Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith unto thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water” (John 4:10).

Grace and peace to the saints of God, and greetings to the household of darkness.

I just took a bath a little while ago, and I can tell you, it was almost a religious experience. The water was just the right temperature, and my body was somewhat sore from my morning workout. So it was just the ticket. I even dozed off a couple of times.

I realized that today was the first time in over four years that I have just sat in the tub and soaked. I used to do it at least once a week for therapeutic reasons. Besides being necessary for life, water is good for the body and mind. But for some reason, since coming back to the U.S. from Germany four years ago, I haven’t spent more than ten or fifteen minutes in the tub, and as I sat there, I tried to figure out why. It occurred to me that my whole attitude towards water has changed in the last ten years or so.

Though I have been blessed to have had access to potable water and the ability to take baths all my life, when I lived in Germany, I gained a new appreciation for water. I remember the exact day that my attitude towards water was changed forever, and it happened on this wise:

I was living in Munich at the time and was visiting a friend of mine from Ghana. As many of you may know, there is a very large contingent of Africans from the Diaspora living in Germany, and many of them live in Munich. Africans love television, and they love to get movies from their own countries. As a matter of fact, making movies for those in the Diaspora is a major industry in Africa. Whenever I would go to visit my friend—Bobby was his name—he was sure to be watching a movie from Africa or Jamaica. And Bobby had very good taste in movies. We would go through a couple of movies in a sitting, and no matter what time I told my wife I would be home, I was sure to need a phone call from her to remind me.

Well, on one visit to Bobby’s, he was watching a movie from South Africa. The storyline involved a schoolteacher from one of the larger cities who goes to a small town to teach, and the challenges that the job and the move presented. On the day she arrived, a small contingent of her new colleagues came to pay her a visit. They knocked on the door, and after kissing one another on the cheek and asking each other’s welfare, they presented her with a housewarming gift. Do you know what it was? A bottle of water. And she was very happy to receive it. I asked my friend if it were common to give visitors water as a present, and he told me that water is so precious, that he would not be surprised if it were.

That revelation changed my life. I had never heard such a thing, and I realized that I had always taken it for granted that water would always be plentiful, potable, and accessible. It had never occurred to me that there were places on earth where water is so scarce that it is makes a suitable present.

From that day forward, I had a completely different attitude towards water. I try my best not to waste it. For instance, I like taking baths rather than showers. That is because as a child, we did not have a shower, but only a bathtub, so I was raised taking baths. My first shower was in the Army where there were nothing but showers. It was exciting. I thought I would never again take another bath. But all that changed one night while I was stationed in Panama in the early eighties. [Queue flashback music.]

One night I and my unit were on a reconnaissance mission and had trudged through the jungle for many hours. At around 2:00 a.m. we stopped at the point where we were to hook up with another unit, and we all lay down to rest. After sitting there for about an hour, it began to rain. And rain. And rain. And rain. And it was a cold rain, made worse by the fact that our pores were still open from having walked so long in the sweltering jungle heat. At first it was refreshing, but after an hour it became torturous. We lay there on the ground for close to three hours under that unrelenting rain, when I realized that I could no longer feel the rain falling on me. My skin had become waterlogged, and my core temperature was so low, that I could no longer feel the difference between my skin and the rain. It turned out that others were in the same predicament. Such a situation can get terminal in a hurry. We had to get moving.

While they were making the decision to leave, I told a friend of mine that I would give anything for a hot bath at that moment. Minutes later, the word came down, and we made a beeline for the barracks. We got there with a speed that would make Usain Bolt look like Scatman Caruthers.

Since that day, I have rarely taken a shower. I have been living at my present address for three years, but I have only taken one shower. And since baths consume a lot of water, I bathe only a couple times a week, so that I will not waste water. It is no longer a conscious decision but an automatic lifestyle choice. I do it because I know that there are those in the world who cannot take full body baths, but must wash out of a basin or bucket. I know that what I do will never affect them, but it keeps me mindful of them and helps me to identify with them in some way. Ever since I was a child, I would let the water run from the faucet while I brushed my teeth, but no longer. And I keep a couple of bottles of water in reserve in case the water should get cut off. Water is precious.

These things occurred to me as I sat in the bathtub. Water is precious: it is essential to life. Do you know that water is more important to the human body than food? The body is two thirds water. One may go without food for a month and live, but few can go that long without water. Water is a blessing. But water is so plentiful in America that we take it for granted. How often do we thank God for giving us water? We need water more than we need most of the things that we ask God for, yet that which is most necessary to life, God has already provided; and we fail to thank Him for it.

Water is also one example of the goodness and mercy of God and how He blesses both the righteous and the ungodly, as God provides water to both unconditionally.

Consider this the next time you take a bath, or drink a glass of water, or brush your teeth, or wash the dishes. Where would you be without the blessing of water? As you read this, give God thanks for having provided water to you all the days of your life, even though you may never have thought to thank Him for it. And say a prayer for those who live in places where water is scarce.

And while you’re at it, thank the Father for giving us all The Living Water, the Lord Jesus Christ.

You can keep your money. Just give me Water.

New Podcast

Grace and peace Saints.

The companion audio podcast to our article What Is The Unpardonable Sin? is available for free at the iTunes Store. You can listen to it by clicking here.

The “unpardonable sin,” as it is called, is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which our Lord Jesus mentions in Mark chapter 3. There are many opinions about what actually constitutes blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, but you will find from the podcast that it is a simple matter to discover what it really is. You may be surprised.

As always, the podcast includes information that is not in the article, making it an essential resource.

Be encouraged and look up, for your redemption draweth nigh.

Deceitful Workers: Denzel Washington

Grace and peace to the brethren.

You know, most people think that Denzel Washington is one of the cleanest actors in Hollywood. I mean, you never hear about Denzel getting in trouble with the law, you never hear about Denzel getting in trouble with drugs, you never hear about Denzel being found with a prostitute, and you never hear about Denzel having marital problems. Denzel just seems like a clean-cut, hard working, family man.

But you know that somewhere along the line Denzel has to have sold out. He had to, otherwise he would not be an A-list actor. You cannot be an A-list actor unless you have sold out. Denzel won an Oscar for Training Day, and he would not have won an Oscar had he not sold out in some way. You didn’t think he won it solely on the strength of his acting performance, did you?

But if Denzel doesn’t do drugs (ostensibly), doesn’t chase women (ostensibly), doesn’t cavort with prostitutes (ostensibly), and doesn’t get in trouble with the law, how do I know that he has sold out? You might ask.

Well, consider the fact that the disgusting N-word has become almost commonplace now. It is used in music, movies, and possibly very soon fashion, as Damon Wayans is working feverishly to found a clothing store chain, the name of which is the N-word.

By now you should know that when something evil manifests in society, it showed up first in Hollywood, and this is also true with the ubiquitous N-word. As a matter of fact, Denzel played a major role in this. Remember the famous “Smoke it!” scene from Training Day? Recall that Denzel used the N-word twice in that one scene and several times in the movie, if I recall correctly.

When I saw Training Day, I was not saved, but the importance of an A-list black actor using the N-word to describe a white man was not lost on me. No Sir, it was not. So, when I started noticing trends in society and tried to put the pieces together, I recalled that Denzel had done this, and I realized he was a sell out. I present the scene in question from Training Day below for your edification. Pardon the French that they are using, but there was no way I could get around it.

Now it was bad enough that Denzel degraded himself in the movie. But imagine my surprise when I found this video on YouTube which features Denzel using the N-word in the same manner that his character used it in Training Day. Only this time he is saying it to David Letterman!

Don’t think for one minute that was a slip of the tongue. You know Denzel is not stupid: he had to know that using the N-word on a late night television talk show would spoil his squeaky-clean image. This is proof positive that Denzel is a sell out. He does as he is told, just like everybody else in Hollywood. If he did not, he might as well start looking for another job.

By the way, did you notice that Denzel asked the rookie cop if he were “a Jesus freak” because he didn’t want to smoke that crack? Denzel would argue that he was just portraying a character. But believe me, children are greatly influenced by what they watch on television and in the movies, and this irreverent and blasphemous reference to the Lord Jesus is sure to have been imitated by some kid out there who wants to be cool and hard just like Denzel’s character.

This is why we should not make these people our role models. There is not one actor in Hollywood that hasn’t compromised his morals in some way, and they have all contributed to the moral destruction of America. For Mr. Washington’s part, he has earned a coveted spot on our list of Deceitful Workers.

So the next time you hear some kid use the N-word, you can thank among others, Mr. Denzel Washington.

New Podcast

Grace and peace Saints.

We have recorded a new podcast as a companion to our article entitled, Does God Hate Blacks? It is available for free at the iTunes Store.

You will want to listen to this podcast if you want to know THE cause of Satan’s rabid hatred for blacks. It will also give you a better understanding of the role of blacks in biblical history; a role that is so significant that you will wonder why you were never told anything about it. But it is one hundred percent biblical.

The podcast also includes important information that we did not include in the article, so it is definitely worth checking out.

Though the purpose of the article and podcast are to encourage those blacks—saved and unsaved—who feel that because of the history of black persecution, God hates them, it is also intended to empower my white brothers and sisters in Christ to address this issue should they encounter it in their efforts to evangelize blacks. You may even want to direct them to these materials.

As always my brothers and sisters, be encouraged and look up, for your redemption draweth nigh.

Memory Verse for March 12-18

Grace and peace Saints.

We are still keeping with the theme of fear this week, because things are going on in the world that will instill fear. But we ain’t having none of it.

“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He might exalt you in due time:

“Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you” (1 Peter 5:6-7).

Most of us are familiar with verse seven, but verse six is important also. We must humble ourselves before God, and He will exalt us. He will take care of us, for He is able. When we encounter problems in our lives, our first instinct is to come at those problems in our own strength. But God wants us to humble ourselves and come to Him. Then we can come at those problems in HIS strength. And the Lord our God is strong and mighty. The Lord our God is mighty in battle. Let Him fight our battles.

Jesus never gets tired of us coming to Him with our problems. So cast all your cares upon Him. For He careth for you.

Be encouraged and look up, for your redemption draweth nigh.
