Who Owns the World?

There 43,000 International Companies in this world and those international companies are owned by 730 international shareholders and of those 730 international shareholders 161 are the richest people on earth and those 161 individuals and those 161 people control 93% of the worlds wealth, power and products but in America we are told that the rich and powerful that have influence and control in our world are those who have $200,000 in gross income per year. I guess the Mom and Pop candy store downtown are the real evil people in our America, really? When you own the world’s mass media outlets you can have the finger pointed at those who truly are the engine that makes the world work and thrive, stop the engine, create a new paradigm and gain more power, simple equation and a foregone conclusion. 

The Equation of Life

I have been gone for a while putting together the grand puzzle before, the one I have been working on for 40 years, the one that ties everything together and begins to establish a clearer picture of what is truly going on in our world. Today my process is called critical thinking but when I was younger this process was called by another name, the ability to analyze, to break down a picture or concept into its separate parts and how they work together and eventually combine to produce the model being investigated. This was time consuming at first but very interesting once the results began to continually point to the one thing that makes the model work but it became much easier, in time, to place the puzzle pieces into the correct positions that ultimately begin to paint a master mosaic, a big picture. After years of investigating and looking endlessly for that missing component I am now convinced that the one thing missing in our modern thought processes, throughout the world of ideas and the world of real events is something we grew up with, something found everyday, something known for millennia, something that been put aside as too outrageous to consider, it is time to consider this and place it into the process of critical thinking where it shows its true power and the unimaginably horrible story line it helps to paint. It always been considered too scandalous and shocking to be given serious thought, its now time for serious thought.

After years of trying to find this missing element that ties worldwide political maneuvers, worldwide financial maneuvers, mass media maneuvers, world of science maneuvers, worldwide religious maneuvers and the world of just strange things come together into a comprehensible picture. I have found that the only element that continually brings this picture into focus with a beginning, an ending, a plan and a outcome is simple, so simple I had to continually go back and start from the beginning to be sure of my findings. The missing element is truly quite amazing in its simplicity as are most answers to complicated questions. At first I laughed at this conclusion because it was just so clean, elementary and commonly dismissed but it turned out to be that missing component after all. It is the missing piece on this massive and complicated chess board. When added to the equation you will find it will tie all things together rather seamlessly and bring the puzzle pieces together under the glow of a new light of understanding, the puzzle takes shape and the picture produced is something that modern man will undoubtedly dismiss with great derision, just the result one would expect if it is true and it is true. 

Think nefarious, think outrageous, think horrible, think abominable, think true over the top evil and you will find the new equation produces a consistent result. Connecting all these things under this new dark equation paints the picture of a dark plan to create a final path to a final confrontation and a falsely perceived outcome. It is truly the stuff of comic books, blockbuster fantasy/sci-fi movies but all the pieces of the puzzle become illuminated and clearly defined cause/effect/result components begin to coalesce into the true picture of events taking place at this time in our history. It is simply the addition of this knowledge of a falsely perceived final outcome that has dictated the ultimate destination these plans were designed to take us. A dark and very evil future that produces a world in which God plays no part and mankind begins to think that the beginning and end of all knowledge can be found in the mind of man alone. The true result of modern mankind's God free endeavors is a mysterious, complicated, obfuscated and unrecognized plan that promotes the man first thinking and has thus allowed himself to become a unaware pawn that will eventually and ultimately destroy any connection or belief in God. Now chose any current world issue and apply the missing piece of the equation to the perceived goal of men, which is usually stated as the betterment of mankind's place in the universe and insert the now understood true goal and outcome desired by a truly devious and malevolent force at odds with the Creator of the Universe, soon you will see that all roads lead to a desired destruction of man. Dark forces, the Devil, Lucifer or what ever label you wish to bestow on this elemental yet very powerful force is the missing part of the equation in the modern world and this force desires the destruction of man by man and the destruction of each individual soul by any means necessary and to remove any connection to God from the face of the earth. When Lucifer's adversary is removed from the battle field a victory for darkness is all but assured and for a small space of time this will be true but God never gives up on His Creation and soon all the plans of the dark forces and the evil men who have joined this battle against God will find that the promise of an eternal soul no longer applies to them. How very sad that day will be when each person will realize that the gifts of God were extended to them freely but falling victim to an ego that says we are educated, enlightened, civilized, sophisticated, reasonable and open-minded and openly dismiss God as a fairy tale they have turned their backs on God. They follow a self promoted, self aware me first path willingly and soon find that they have been fools and will soon suffer destruction at their own hands. Very sad story indeed.      

All men share God's gift of the spark of eternal life by understanding we are a soul that transcends time and space and this knowledge is truly beyond our conceived reality. All men have the ability to seek and find God and to communicate daily in a two way conversation but few do.  All men share equally the gifts God has given to us but few perceive it for what it truly is, life beyond measure. The answers God provides are always simple and straightforward, his gifts are laid before us with no strings attached, simply accepting the gifts and believing in God is the simple step that begins to transform your life into a life filled with light, understanding, comprehension of the world around you, understanding your place and purpose in this universe is the beginning of true knowledge and quite loving soul which was always yours to mold.  Accepting the fact that all things in this reality can be analyzed and investigated down to their basic components is the realization that all things really do come down to matter of good versus evil and darkness trying to overcome light, it really is that simple.

 

Time to Get Serious

Proverbs 25:2 “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.”

The Bible Codes are real, searchable, visible and very clear and concise as to the authorship of the entire Bible, God has personally signed every letter, numeral, vowel and even the spaces between the letters from Genesis to the last word of Revelation. Anyone can see them and understand them if you simply ask to have a conversation with God, He is always there and He wants to show you personally. It is all so very simple and so very easy, it will make your head swim, like it did mine, when you finally learn the power switch of understanding all things is your ability to speak. To speak is power to speak with God is unfathomable power of clarity, remember John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word”.

The Book of Life

The most important code in the Scriptures is YOU. Are you written in the Book of Life? Is the Bible a code book that also anticipates your decision regarding His offer of redemption? The most exciting code you will ever discover is your own.

Randomness in the Bible does not exist in the universe as science has proven. Your reading this right now is not a coincidence, but may be an event of cosmic significance.

When you sit down to study the Bible, treat it with the utmost respect. Don’t let anyone con you into allegorizing (interpret or represent symbolically) it or treating it as just a collection of cultural legends. These things have to be discerned by the Spirit of God. As you read and begin to study your Bible, as you do it diligently, you will make the dramatic discovery that it is supernatural in its origin, it is supernatural in its design, and it is supernatural in its affect on you and your life. But that comes about if you realize that God means what He says and says what He means. Allegorize it, spiritualize it, as some people suggest, and it will quickly unravel into meaninglessness. It is the integrity of the whole that provides its own defense.

As you study, recognize that every piece impacts every other piece. The real question is what does the Bible portray? What is the image it gets across? The great discovery you will make is that it is a portrayal of Jesus Christ, all the way through Genesis, all through the Torah, all through the entire Scriptures.

As you do begin your study, you will begin to understand the definition of truth. Truth is when the Word and the deed become one.  As Adam and Eve were dismissed from the Garden of Eden, God prophesied that He would provide a redeemer, a kinsman redeemer, a kinsman of Adam.  He gave a promise in Genesis 3:15, and that promise is amplified and extended page by page, generation by generation, century by century and of course this promise was fulfilled in Judea 2,000 years ago.

And He is not through. The ultimate drama is about to come to its climax. He has promised to return, to take possession of that which He purchased long ago. He described the circumstances that would prevail upon the Earth when He was to return. He said He would restore Israel to the land He gave them.  He said He would restore them His city of Jerusalem. Detail by detail we are being plunged into a period of time about which the Bible says more than any other period of time in human history. This isn’t limited to a narrow subject but addresses all of them. Every major theme of Bible prophecy-in Isaiah, Jeremiah, Zechariah, Daniel, the New Testament etc.-is being moved into place before our eyes.

The question before us individually and collectively is, What are you going to do about it? Whether you like it or not you will be in the middle of it all. Is Jesus Christ the primary dynamic in your personal life? It doesn’t matter which church you go to. It doesn’t matter what background you come from. What does matter is your personal relationship with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Is He the primary element in your life? Jesus does not want to be number one on a list of ten, He wants to be number one on a list of one.

YOU were on His mind before the foundation of the world. Is your name, personally, written in His Book of Life? He has a destiny for you that is so fantastic that there is no way you can earn it. It’s there for the asking! Talk to Him about it, He’s anxious to hear from you.

The Creator is, indeed, in love with His creation. But He’s given you the terrifying capability of refusing.

We have only begun to scratch the surface of the codes imbedded throughout the Scriptures and the more we search the more we find, could each of us be coded by name into God’s Word, very probably Yes.  You can tell if your name is written there simply by your response to Him.

 “God will invade. But I wonder whether people who ask God to interfere openly and directly in our world quite realize what it will be like when He does. When that happens, it is the end of the world. When the author walks on to the stage the play is over. God is going to invade, all right: but what is the good of saying you are on His side then, when you see the whole natural universe melting away like a dream and something else - something it never entered your head to conceive - comes crashing in; something so beautiful to some of us and so terrible to others that none of us will have any choice left? For this time it will God without disguise; something so overwhelming that it will strike either irresistible love or irresistible horror into every creature. It will be too late then to choose your side. There is no use saying you choose to lie down when it has become impossible to stand up. That will not be the time for choosing; it will be the time when we discover which side we really have chosen, whether we realised it before or not. Now, today, this moment, is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It will not last forever. We must take it or leave it.”

― C.S. Lewis

American Babylon in Prophecy

I find that I am compelled once again to try and get the this message out to the American people. I know there are very few left who will hear the truth but there is a reason and that may be just one person out there who receives this message and is compelled to action of some sort, I just do not know but I do know that when I am compelled to pass along a Scriptural Truth then that is what I am going to do.

O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed his grace on thee and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.

America is the greatest most blessed nation in all the earth. Where does America fit in the prophetic scheme of things? Is America mentioned in the Bible? Will it have a role to play in the end-times scenario? Many say that America is not mentioned in the Bible. I disagree and strongly believe that America has been prophesied about in the Bible and that it will play a major role in the end times. How could the greatest nation in the world, the only super power, not have a role to play? Of course, it will. America has been mentioned many times in scripture. The clearest mention is found in Revelation 18. This chapter describes the end-times Babylon and the judgment that it will receive. I believe America is the end-times Babylon talked about in this chapter.

I believe that America is the Babylon talked about in Revelation 18 because of several verses that, when considered collectively, lead us to conclude that America is the only country that fulfills all of the parameters listed in the verses. Let us examine what the scriptures say about this modern day end-times Babylon and see how they undeniably point to America.

 1. End-times Babylon is a great nation that receives judgment for its many sins.

“And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.” (Rev. 18:2)

 2. This nation is a superpower and has world dominance and importance. It has also spread its corruption to the world.

“For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her.” (Rev. 18:3)

 3. The merchants of the world are made rich through trading with this nation. This nation consumes huge amounts of goods.

“And the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.” (Rev. 18:3)

“And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.” (Rev. 18:11–13)

 4. This nation is proud and arrogant and considers herself to be invincible and the greatest nation on earth.

“How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.” (Rev. 18:7)

 5. This nation is typified by an extravagant lifestyle.

“And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!” (Rev. 18:16)

 6. Other nations are controlled by her and given great riches by her.

“And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her.” (Rev. 18:9)

 7. This nation is a coastal nation, with deep water ports and much international trade.

“And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off.” (Rev. 18:17)

 8. This nation has defenses in the heavens.

“Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the Lord.” (Jer. 51:53)

 Which nation is the only one in the world that meets all those qualifications? America! We are the greatest country in the world. We are the only remaining super power. We dominate world politics and dictate much of what happens in other countries through whom and what we fund in those countries. We have the largest Gross National Product (GNP) in the world, far surpassing all other countries. We buy huge amounts of goods from other countries. In fact, the economy of many countries would collapse without our trade dollars. We are a proud and arrogant people and feel that we are invincible and that we are the greatest nation in the world. America, as a whole, lives in luxury compared to the rest of the world. America has many deep water ports, and the vast majority of goods entering this country come by way of ship. And, yes, we now are the only country that has offensive and defensive weapons in space. The only country that meets all of the qualifications above is America.

 Yes, America is described in Revelation 18 as the end-times Babylon. R.A. Coombes, in his book America the Babylon, sums it up like this:

“So if not America, what nation will be the ‘mystery Babylon’ spoken of in Revelation, chapters 17 and 18? I submit that there is no other nation that could or will, and that therefore America must be the “super” nation mentioned in Revelation…..Empirical data suggests that it is America, not Rome, or London, nor some resurrected Iraqi empire, nor the United States of Europe. Textually, from the scriptures, there is overwhelming evidence that is ironclad in its data pointing only to the identity of ‘mystery Babylon’ as being that of the United States of America. Revelation chapters 17 and 18 give us 65 major identifying data points, which are identifying markers, that point out the identifying characteristics that point out the identity of this ‘Babylon’, and what its future will be.”

Ancient Babylon was a world power that encompassed the ancient “mystery” religions, hedonism, and materialism. America also embraces the ancient “mystery religions,” hedonism, and materialism, and in many ways is similar to ancient Babylon, and ironically, now controls the land it once occupied.

Some think that the end-times Babylon mentioned in Revelation 18 is Rome. They base their reasoning on Rev. 17:9: “And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.” Through the centuries, Rome has been called the city of seven hills; thus, they make the connection that end-times Babylon is Rome. But Rome does not sit on 7 mountains but 7 hills. This does not meet the qualifications of the great nation that has control over the world during the end-times as outlined above. Here is what author Stewart Best said about this:

“Rome is usually pointed at as being Babylon the city, if a literal city is even recognized. Rome, however, does not come close to being able to fulfill the parameters of God for the identification of the city, Babylon. It fails in almost all aspects. Because it does not meet the requirements of God, Rome cannot be the “great city” Babylon. This is not to say that Rome is not important in prophecy, for it is - it plays a major role and is part of the Babylonian system!”

The argument goes that Rome is a city-state, and the Vatican is in reality a nation, which it is, but beyond that fact, it utterly fails all of the parameters for Babylon the Great. Babylon the Great is a large nation, with many cities. It has many huge warm water seaports, a huge military, a space program, etc. Rome does not fulfill any of these. Therefore, believe God and not man.

Here is what another author has to say about the Rome/Babylon connection:

Some Bible expositors make a big deal of the fact that Revelation 17 refers (verse 9) to the seven heads of the Beast as “seven hills”. (Rome was apparently built on seven hills.) A momentary allusion to Rome was appropriate at the time, but everything else in the same chapter makes it clear that even the hills are not literal hills, but rather “seven kings”. So there are circles within circles here (as there are is so many prophecies) that are easily missed if one becomes obsessed with only one aspect of a prophecy.

So if one pays close attention to the language of Revelation 17 and 18, one can easily see that Rome does not meet the qualifications of end-times Babylon; nor does ancient Babylon itself, located in Iraq. Still not convinced that America is the end-times Babylon? Here are some verses that prove it conclusively.

“Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.” (Jer. 50:12 ,13)

These verses in Jeremiah speak of the destruction that end-times Babylon will receive. It refers to end-times Babylon as having “a mother.” What country has a “mother?” America! Its “mother” is England. Consider the words of Author Stewart Best again:

“This latter day Babylon has a mother, which is also a nation. This mother was responsible for “birthing” this mighty Babylon of the End Times. If Iraq is Babylon as some try to claim, who is the mother of Iraq? If you read this verse carefully, it says that the mother nation preceded Babylon, gave birth to her, watches her rise to full power, and watches her die in fire. Again, who is the mother of Iraq? Iraq has none.

Who is the mother of Rome, which is often presented as Babylon? Rome is not a nation, but a city. Further, she has no mother. Who is the mother of the EC, which is often presented as Babylon, the Revived Roman Empire? In point of fact, she will have no mother, and further, Babylon the Great is always shown as a single nation from her birth to her rise to full power and glory. The EC does not qualify. Each parameter must be fulfilled. You cannot pick and choose that which you wish to present to prove your case.

However, America has a mother. This mother was directly responsible for her birth. That mother preceded her. England has been around awhile. England gave birth to America, and England is still around, and England will watch America burn. England is further confirmed as the mother of Babylon the Great by Daniel the Prophet in Daniel 7:4 (the lion). Ezekiel also mentions it in Ezekiel 38/39 as “Tarshish”, who gives birth to “young cubs”. Tarshish is a cryptic reference to England and her young cubs are America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc. Daniel refers to her as a lion. The national symbol of England is a lion. The eagle wings on top the lion is America, her daughter. America’s national symbol is the eagle with outstretched wings.”

America is the country with “a mother” and America meets the other scriptural qualifications. Thus, the clear scriptural interpretation is that America is the end-times Babylon.

More Indications

 There are more indications that America is the end-times Babylon, as well. For example, at the gateway to our nation stands the Statue of Liberty. Free Masons in Paris gifted it to America in 1886. They commissioned fellow Mason Augusste Bertholdi, who was seeking a commission to create a robed statue of the goddess Isis, the Egyptian Queen of Heaven, holding a torch. Her connection to Babylon is easily seen in the next quote.

The Babylonian heritage of the “Statue of Liberty” should come as no real surprise to God’s people. Her identity is written in her shape. She stands on a base patterned after the Babylonian stepped-pyramids, or ziggurats, of old — which themselves were designed by the “tower” woman Semiramis and her architects. She stands literally on a base patterned after the tower of Babel! She wears a turreted crown, like Rhea, Cybele, Diana, and the pagan goddesses who were counterparts of Semiramis. She stands as a universal symbol of “liberty,” apart from the laws and commandments of God. She represents the “emancipation” of mankind, and “immigration” and “unity” and the coming together of many races to become one universal mankind, all peoples coming together to one land, uniting the nations as “one,” with one language.

In her poem “The New Colossus,” Emma Lazarus calls the “Statue of Liberty” the “Mother of exiles.” But the truth is, she is the “Mother of harlots and abominations of the earth” (Rev. 17:5)

Arguments against America as Babylon

 Even though the evidence points to America as being end-times Babylon, some reject this hypothesis, citing Rev. 17:6 and 18:24: “And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.” What you must remember is that the United States of America will no longer be the country where you grew up, it is becoming, before your eyes by a slow moving coup d’état, a very powerful centralized state government which does not follow any law or constitution but rather takes action and implements decrees by sheer power and the exercise of this power, which we just witnessed as a pure failure in the Syria affair, will generally begin to worry the other nations of the world and thereby helping to coalesce them into a force opposing the sitting power brokers in Washington D.C. Once the financial collapse of the dollar occurs this realignment of powers happens rapidily.

They assert that America cannot be end-times Babylon because she has not participated in murdering Christians. The future leader of the New World Order, America will also be the one responsible for the martyrdom of Jews and Christians during the 70th Week of Daniel. As a matter of fact, the U.S. Senate has just passed legislation that paves the way for Christians to be arrested for hate crimes for preaching anything negative about any race, religion, sexual gender or “sexual orientation.”

Not only is end-times Babylon talked about in Revelation 18, but is also talked about in Revelation 17 and other parts of scripture such as in Jeremiah 50–51 and several chapters in Isaiah as detailed by R.A. Coombes:

“Babylon as a city and nation is perhaps the most mentioned gentile city/state/nation in the Bible. Only those cities in Israel, such as Jerusalem receive greater mention. There are approximately 359 direct references to the name Babylon in the Old Testament. Of these references, many are simply tied to historical accounts of events in past history. However, the 2 major prophets of the Old Testament, Isaiah and Jeremiah received from God information about a future Babylon yet to come. This future Babylon is separate and distinct from the Babylon of their day. The message of the prophets is that a latter-day Babylon would arise that would carry on the ‘spirit’ of the old Babylon. Hence, these two prophets present significant data concerning the identity of the future Babylon and its destiny. The prophets explain what will happen to this later Babylon along with data on who will be involved, where it will take place, when and how…along with why it takes place. These two prophets account for more than 80 direct references to this future city/state/nation. 64 of those are found in two chapters of Jeremiah. Those chapters are chapters 50 and 51. Isaiah accounts for two dozen more in chapters 13, 14, 18 and 47. These chapters provide a substantial insight into what happens to this latter day Babylon of the future.”

Jeremiah 50 and 51 is a large section of scripture concerning end-times Babylon that describe its destruction. I will not list them in full here, but I would encourage you to read them. Here are a few key verses from the text.

“Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues. Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the Lord. Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the Lord: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her. Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn everyone to his people, and they shall flee everyone to his own land.” (Jer. 50:13-16)

“How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations! I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the Lord.” (Jer. 50:23, 24)Note: Hammer means the policeman of the world.

“Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord God of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee. And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.” (Jer. 50:31,32)

“As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein. Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.” (Jer. 50:40-42)

 These verses paint a gloomy picture of the end-times Babylon and the destruction that it will receive. How do we know that Jeremiah chapters 50 and 51 are talking about the end-times Babylon? One of the main reasons is that ancient Babylon was not destroyed in the way described in the passages above. Consider again the words of Mr. Coombes.

“The future-Babylon prophecies of Isaiah and Jeremiah have over the centuries been misunderstood and misapplied. Until recently, many commentators considered many of the prophecies to have already occurred. It does seem that some of the predicted results do apply to the ancient Babylon. Those results speak of Babylon becoming a desert, where desert animals live and no man resides there. In reality, ancient Babylon—the city, has been deserted for nearly a thousand years. It did not occur in the manner described in the future prophecies! Furthermore, the old national empire of Babylon has remained inhabited by man, yet the prophecies speak of no habitation for the nation/state as well as the city. Additionally, the events in question indicate that the demise of this Babylon will occur in … one…that’s 1…1 hour. Yes, that is 60 minutes of time…for complete annihilation of not just a city but also a city/state/nation. That never occurred for ancient Babylon. She just slowly dissolved into nothingness. Therefore, the prophecies of Isaiah and Jeremiah are indeed still for the future.”

 Here is one of the prophecies that show that ancient Babylon was not destroyed in this manner. “The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.” (Jer. 51:42) Was ancient Babylon covered with waves? Did the sea come up upon it? No! Ancient Babylon was not destroyed in that way. Thus, these scriptures have to be talking about the end-times Babylon. In Isaiah 18, we have further proof that the end-times Babylon is different from ancient Babylon: “Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia: That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!” (Is 18:1, 2)

 Once again, notes Coombes:

“Finally, we have Isaiah 18:2, where we find a reference to the future Babylon’s location as being beyond the land and rivers of Cush. This ‘rivers of Cush’ reference is relating to the Tigris and Euphrates rivers of Mesopotamia. Therefore, we find the verse trying to tell us that future Babylon is BEYOND the old Babylon by a great distance!!! The implication is that the future Babylon is nowhere close, geographically, and requires a long sea voyage to get there from anywhere in the then known world.”

If America is the end-times Babylon, which I am convinced that it is, then as you can see from these passages, America-Babylon is slated for destruction. America has lifted her fist in the face of God. Our sins have reached unto heaven. The murders, especially of babies, the sexual perversions, the child abuse, the pornography, the drug abuse, the witchcraft (includes TV shows that go after or lift up all things that God has proclaimed evil at its inception and evil in its pursuits) that this country is involved in, are deplorable. The worst sins are yet future, however, in which America will be instrumental in bringing about the New World Order and persecuting Jews and Christians. As a result, God’s judgment will come upon America swiftly and decisively.

America, as a whole, has shown God in recent years that it does not want Him. The nation has removed prayer from school, defamed the sanctity of marriage, and is removing the scriptures such as the Ten Commandments from being displayed publicly. America is shaking its fist in God’s face and saying “We do not want you!” Unfortunately, that is what we will get. God has begun and will continue to remove His blessings and hand of protection from our nation. 9/11 was just the start, and we can see from the language employed in Revelation 18 that America will eventually suffer a terrible destruction.

“And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.” (Rev. 18:2)

“Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.” (Rev. 18:8)

“Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.” (Rev. 18:10)

Two-Stage Destruction

Scriptures in Jeremiah and Revelation tell us that the attack is likened to what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah and will involve a sudden destruction with fire and a destroying wind that will happen in one hour. The noise of the destruction will move the earth; and the shipmasters will not want to come near us for fear. I ask, for fear of what? What type of destruction is swift, involves smoke, wind, fire, burning, moves the earth, and will cause shipmasters to not want to come near? Nuclear, Asteroid, Comet Debris, Coronal Mass Ejection they are all bad.

I am sorry to say that whether you believe it or not, America as a nation is due to be judged in the 70th Week of Daniel.

“Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.” (Jer. 50:12-13)

“Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation. As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.” (Jer. 50:39, 40)

These verses indicate that, as a result of the first destruction, America will become uninhabitable and likened to a desert. The second and final judgment upon America will come near the end of the 70th Week as recorded in Revelation 16:

“And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.” (Rev. 16:19-21)

“And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.” (Rev. 18:21)

 So we see that this second judgment will occur at the return of Christ at the end of the 70th Week and will result in America not being found any more. This final destruction will probably occur as a result of the horrendous earthquake that will shake the world, causing every island to disappear and every mountain to be leveled, and America will sink into the ocean and be covered over by the waves forever:

“The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.” (Jer. 51:42)

“Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.” (Rev. 18:21)

 O America, I wish it were not true. Your sins have reached unto heaven and you will be smitten. The country that we love so dear, that was founded upon Christian principles and used to stand for righteousness, now promotes wickedness and will receive her just deserts.

The American people have allowed this coup d'état by not paying close enough attention to what our leaders have been doing and closely examining their efforts and seeing to where they lead. Unfortunately, there are not many Christians in America these days and the tipping point has been reached and passed so it is now time to see the results of our lack of knowledge.

Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”

This truly sad because the knowledge has been given but few accepted it and believed God.

Russian Meteor in Bible Prophecy !!!

Mazzaroth is the Zodiac in the Bible

I still receive questions from people about the use of Signs in the Heavens and what the Bible is talking about and some don’t believe that this is scriptural so here is a starting point for all those who want to examine the scriptures for this evidence. Did you know that most ancient civilizations saw and related the celestial bodies in like kind?

Mazzaroth

Job 38:31-33

“Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?  Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?  Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?”

The "Mazzaroth" is the twelve constellations within the sun's apparent path through the heavens, commonly referred to as the "Zodiac."[1] These are in the form of pictures constructed from the stars within that constellation, a woman (Virgo), scales (Libra), a Scorpion (Scorpio), an archer (Sagittarius), a goat-fish (Capricorn), a man with a water pot (Aquarius), two fishes (Pisces), a Lamb (Aries), an Ox (Taurus), twins (Gemini), a crab (Cancer), and a lion (Leo). In God's response to Job, He indicated that He alone brings forth the twelve signs each year in their proper months. Psalm 19, and Paul's quote of it in Romans 10:16-18, proves that the Zodiac (Mazzaroth) was designed by God as a means of communicating a prophetic message in pictures to all languages of the earth.

 Several authors have interpreted the zodiac from a Christian perspective, repeating the original work of Frances Rolleston in the mid nineteenth century without adding anything new or substantial. The premise of Rolleston's work was flawed, making many of her conclusions doubtful.

 The Zodiac is a twelve-step prophecy, a clock counting down the end of this age and the establishment of Messiah’s Kingdom on earth. The zodiac lays out the same story as the Bible, in the same historical sequence, using the same pictorial language as the Hebrew prophets.

 All previous interpretations of the zodiac, whether pagan, Jewish, or Christian, have failed to account for the meaning of the sun's sequential path through the twelve zodiacal signs. Since the creation, the sun's path each year through the 12 zodiac signs has foretold the whole story of God's plan to redeem the creation through the nation of Israel. In doing so, it demonstrates that the God of Abraham is the source of the zodiac.

Virgo - Abrahamic Covenant                                      Libra - Mosaic Covenant

Scorpio - Wilderness Wandering                              Sagittarius - Promised Land

Capricorn - Davidic Covenant                                    Aquarius - Babylonian Captivity

Pisces - Return from Captivity                                   Aries - Lamb of God

Taurus - Apostolic Mission                                         Gemini - Jew & Gentile United

Cancer - Great Tribulation                                          Leo - Messiah's Kingdom

Search out the truth for yourself and gain an understanding of the Scriptures, God waits for you every second of every day to come to Him and ask questions to which He will give you answers.

The Prophetic Picture of Feasts and Holy Days

THE MEANING OF PASSOVER

 Salvation comes by the atoning blood of Israel's promised Sacrifice Lamb

“God will provide Himself, a Lamb". (Gen.22:8)

On the 14th day of Nisan

The sacrifice lamb is slain. The blood of atonement upon the door brings salvation as the death angel passes overhead. It is the eve of the Passover. The epic Exodus that follows sees God's covenant people delivered from the bondage of Egypt.

This was the Old Covenant fulfillment of Passover for national salvation.

On the 14th day of Nisan

In 33 A.D., on the eve of Passover, Yeshua is crucified. The blood of the promised Sacrifice Lamb is shed. This is the redemption God has provided. It brings salvation to His covenant people, delivering them from the bondage of sin and death.

This is the New Covenant fulfillment of Passover for personal salvation.

THE MEANING OF THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD 

The unleavened "Bread of Heaven" is the sinless and accepted sacrifice.

Leaven, a type of sin, was removed from the dwellings. Then at twilight, as the 14th day of Nisan was ending, the Passover lambs were slain. Sunset initiated the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Nisan 15 was a "high day", a non-Saturday Sabbath. Bread baked without yeast was eaten during the seven days of the feast.

Sunset began the 15th day of Nisan. Jesus was buried, just in time for the Feast of Unleavened Bread. But in the grave His body did not decay or see corruption. That Passover the sinless unleavened 'Bread of Heaven' was revealed as that long awaited perfect sacrifice for sin. Thus He fulfilled the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

THE MEANING OF THE FEAST OF FIRSTFRUITS 

 After a cold barren winter new life breaks forth. On the 17th day of the Nisan moon the first fruits of the barley harvest was gathered and waved before the Lord in celebration.

On the 17th day of Nisan in 33 A.D. Jesus rises up from the grave. He is the first fruits from the dead. On that very day He fulfilled the feast. 

THE MEANING OF THE FEAST OF PENTECOST 

 50 days counted out from First fruits is Shavuot or Pentecost. God comes down to His covenant people in an earthshaking day of visitation. It is a betrothal leading into magnificent future glories.

Old Testament Fulfillment

50 days from the day the First fruits of the barley harvest was waved before the Lord, (50 days from the morrow after the Sabbath after Passover), is Shavuot or the Day of Pentecost. Rabbinic scholars believe that it was on this day that God visited His people after their exodus from Egypt and through Moses, brought the Law down from Mount Sinai. This earthshaking day of visitation, trembling, and betrothal is the birthday of the nation of Israel. Moses brings down the Torah or Law for the nation. Because of sin 3,000 die under the Law that day. The Old Covenant is a national covenant between YHVH-God and His covenant people. And so the nation of Israel was established. They agree to follow Him in devotion and obedience. In spite of past failures the nation of Israel will indeed be restored. The Jewish House of Judah will be saved and the throne of David in Judah will be established upon this earth under Messiah. But that is not all. The lost sheep of the House of Israel, the lost ten tribes of Israel, will be found and brought back home to Israel again. (See Ezek.37). The nation and Kingdom of Israel along with Messiah's  Melchizedek Priesthood will be fully restored as a single Elect and Chosen people. The Old Covenant and the Law has not been "done away with" as we have been told. Both estranged houses of Israel will embrace Messiah. Then with their partial blindness healed they will rediscover each other at the end of this age to restore the Union in both Righteousness, (the royal national burden of the Jews), and in Grace, (the holy priestly burden of the Church). Both Houses of Israel are being sifted through the nations. Those being saved are bringing many companions home to Israel with them. (See  Ezekiel 37:15-28) The nation will be reunited and regathered as that Commonwealth of Israel spoken of by our Apostle Paul. (See Eph. 2:12-13). Restored Israel is destined to be cross-linked together as that "royal priesthood and holy nation spoken of by both Moses and by the Apostle Peter. (See  Exod. 19:6, and  1Pet.2:9). The Old Covenant God made with the nation of Israel and the righteous rule of Israel’s Messiah upon this earth is in the heart of the Jewish House of Judah. YHVH-God's righteous rule will surely come and the nation of Israel will be restored, but only under Messiah and not by might or by power. The restoration will not come by a seducing religious humanism or by the military might of a crusading Church Dominionism). It will come by God's Holy Spirit. (See Zechariah 4). The New Covenant is established soul by soul and silently in the gentle bonds of love and devotion as Messiah is received into human lives. It is by YHVH's Grace through faith that His Law is written into the hearts. The prophet Jeremiah spoke of this mystery. See Jer. 31:31. See also Hebrews 8:8-12. The prophet Zechariah saw the Jewish House of Judah in Israel repenting and receiving Messiah rather late, even as Jerusalem was surrounded by armies at the close of this age. See Zechariah 12:7-13:1.

New Testament Fulfillment

50 days from the day the First fruits of the barley harvest was waved before the Lord, (that is 50 days from the morrow after the weekly (Saturday) Sabbath after Passover), in the summer of the year of Yeshua's passion, YHVH-God visits His people by His Holy Spirit. This is another earthshaking day of visitation and betrothal. But on this occasion God's Presence is not as unapproachable as on the former visitation back at Sinai. Moses had ordered 12 boundary markers placed around the foot of the mountain to hold back the people lest the fire of God flash out upon them. Amidst the thundering and lightning God came down as a consuming fire and blackened the entire summit. Only Moses could stand in God's Presence. Mount Sinai has recently been discovered east of the Gulf of Aquaba in the former land of Midian, (now Saudi Arabia).  The real Mount Sinai with many accompanying archaeological proofs of its authenticity is Jabal el Lawz, now hidden from the world behind security fences and armed guards of the Saudi military forces. Back at Sinai it was a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. But this next Pentecostal visitation was quite different. Tongues of fire descended from heaven to rest upon consecrated individuals gathered to wait upon God. All of them had received Messiah and had come to know Him in a personal way in the New Covenant. And just as Moses had seen the burning bush that was not consumed by the fire now came down and rested upon the 120 in the upper room, not to consume them but to fill them with the Holy Spirit and bathe them in the glory of God. This day of wonder sees the Holy Spirit descend in a splendid flooding wave. This was the beginning of the Holy Spirit outpouring. And Joel saw this coming to a peak at the 6th seal at the very end of the latter days. See Joel 2:28-32. The revival spreads out from the Jerusalem epicenter as the disciples go out into the streets of the city proclaiming the Good News of salvation. Whereas 3,000 had died under the Law on the previous visitation 3,000 are now saved by Grace as the Apostle Peter preaches to the crowds coming up to the Feast. And so on this awesome day in holy history, the 7th day of Sivan on the Hebrew calendar, the Feast of Pentecost comes to its appointed New Covenant fulfillment. The Feast of Pentecost, the fourth of the Seven Feasts of Israel is taken up to the next level. It becomes the birthday of the Church. The Holy Spirit revival spreads out from Jerusalem into Judea, Samaria, and thence onward to the utmost parts of the world. This was that promised Light to the Gentiles Isaiah spoke about (See  Isaiah 49:6). The ensuing 2,000 years sees Israel's Messiah continuing to 'call out' His 'ekklesia', His Congregation, by His Holy Spirit. The Good News of the Gospel overflows Israel and spreads out into the gentile nations and YHVH-God's Covenant people expand out of Israel to become a global Congregation (or "Church"), even as Israel's Jordan river overflows its banks all the days of the harvest.

THE MEANING OF THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS   (The very next feast due to be fulfilled)

The annual religious celebration, the shofar (rams horn) is blown at the western wall on the new moon of Tishrei to celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the Feast of Trumpets.

In the autumn of the year and on the first day of the Tishrei moon trumpets are blown to announce the Hebrew holiday of Rosh Hashanah. Biblical Christians refer to it as the Feast of Trumpets. It is the 5th of the Seven Feasts of Israel. The ultimate New Covenant fulfillment of this future Jewish New Year, (Tishrei 1 on the Hebrew calendar), will be spectacular beyond words. The feast will explode into holy history. And it will be a blockbuster. Moses declared and prophesied that it would become a "memorial of blowing of trumpets" (Lev. 23:24,25) It seems that many faithful saints will suffer at the hands of the powers when they blow the trumpet of alarm on Yom Teruah, that awesome future Rosh Hashanah.  (Ezek.33) That epic coming feast day will see the faithful watchmen of Israel faithful to the call. And "they will not be silent". This 5th feast was instituted by Moses at Sinai approximately 3,500 years ago. It marks the first day of the Hebrew (civil) new year. 'Rosh Hashanah' means 'head of the year'. The Feast of Trumpets is the first of the three, yet to be fulfilled, Fall Feasts of Israel. These Autumn Feasts relate to Kingdom/political issues rather than the High Priestly/religious matters that we saw Messiah address in the spring feasts during His first coming 2,000 years ago. Back then we saw Him ride into Jerusalem on a donkey as the 'Suffering Servant'. But when Messiah returns this next time He will come as the Conquering King.  After Trumpets on Tishrei 1 comes the "Ten days of awe" which lead on to Yom Kippur on Tishrei 10 which is the  Day of Atonement. This is the most solemn day of the year. On this awesome Day of Reckoning all accounts between YHVH-God and all His covenant people are settled. The Jubilee Year is also announced on this same tenth day of Tishri. Trumpets are also blown during special times of national crisis. God's covenant people are summoned to gather themselves together in a solemn assembly before the God of Israel. Trumpets are sounded during battle in times of warfare. Trumpets also announce the approach and soon arrival of a king.

On a future Rosh Hoshanah, on the new moon of Tishrei, the shofars will begin to sound on a day like no other. The ultimate epic future Feast of Trumpets will burst onto the world stage and into holy history. This will be an awesome day of mixed celebration and alarm. YHVH-God's determined times for Daniel's Prophecy of the 70 Weeks will resume in earnest. All of God's covenant people from  both houses of Israel will be "called out", summoned to solemn assembly at YHVH-God's new and revamped 'ekklesia', His new 'congregation', 'synagogue', or 'church' of the  70th Week". The saints will be crying out to God and this will spark the climactic End-Time Revival that Joel saw, (Joel 2:28,29,30,31,32).We now have very  strong evidence that this future Rosh Hashanah will mark the terminus of the "Roadmap to Peace". This will be the day when Israel signs the seven year peace covenant written about in Daniel 9:27. Israel will agree to divide and sell the Holy Land and their national sovereignty for a pocketful of promises of "peace and safety".  Moses spoke of this final dalliance of Israel and predicted the ensuing Great Tribulation. Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamashiach, said that they would reject Him who came in His Father's Name and said that His covenant people would consort with a  false messiah, a man who came "in his own name" (John 5:43).  Seven momentous years will then bring in the end-time witness. Then comes the final awesome Day of Atonement. Trumpets of Jubilee will herald the opening of the Day of the Lord which opens on the very next day. Angels of wrath will pluck up the wicked as tares for the fires. (Mat.13:30) At some unknown time in those ensuing days before the Feast of Tabernacles comes into its fulfillment the last trumpet will sound and all of God's Elect, (singular), will be gathered. The climactic future Resurrection will see Messiah gather His Chosen from the nation of Israel and from among the heathen gentiles. All the saints, the quick and the dead, from every nation, race, and tribe, from both sides of Calvary will be there. And they will all enter the glory together. (Isa. 49:6 and 1Thes. 4:15, 16, 17).

In Conclusion

The Feasts and Holy Days of Israel and the Jewish people are a direct and clear picture of the Salvation God has promised the believers in the atoning Blood of His Sacrificial Lamb. If this is a direct and clear picture of the promise then the words the His Prophets have given us are also meant has clear and direct information to us for growth and knowledge. To understand the Scriptures you simply must read them with a perspective that they are truly relevant and great impact on your understanding. The signs in the heavens all make sense if you remove yourself from man’s understanding and accept that man’s understanding is very limited and leaves in a state of confusion and leads most people to give up trying, you just cannot mix oil and water and see clearly. There are only two points of view, God’s view and man’s view, I trust God to tell me the Truth.
