-Caveat Lector- IS AMERICA BABYLON? By STEWART BEST Part Two-A In our last issue we proved that God refers to Babylon the Great as a NATION, as a national entity, a recognized nation among the nations of the world. Babylon is also a LARGE NATION, with huge land masses, and is surrounded by SEAS. This fact is often refuted by Bible scholars, who declare that Babylon is ONLY A SYSTEM, and NOT a nation or a literal city. In so doing, they fulfill the prophecies concerning the shepherds of Babylon who lead their people totally astray. 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. If you want to understand what is happening in world events, you must first properly identify the players. If you misidentify them, your scenario will never play out, and you will end up confused and bewildered because it did not go down as you expected. This is exactly what is going to happen to the vast majority of prophetic teachers in America today - their scenarios are not playing out, in fact they are being contradicted left and right. All of the emphasis for years has been ON THE BABYLONIAN SYSTEM ONLY, and that it would be run from a REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE. Scholars told us to look and watch Europe and the EUROPEAN COMMON MARKET, known variously as the EEC OR EC. That area of the world, they all claimed, would produce the Antichrist and the Antichrist system. This claim is made from a misinterpretation of Daniel 7, 2 and 4, which is then carried to Revelation 13, 17 and 18, which we will prove in various articles in the CIS SCANNER. Word from Christian research ministries in the UK tells us the EC is in shambles, and most likely will not come to fruition as planned, and there are many items that have to be worked out. The number of nations involved does not agree with Daniel or Revelation, at this time. Because it does not, many TWIST THE WORD to make it fit. The EC continues to EXPAND, and the the parameters laid down by God through His prophets cannot be met by the EC. For example, the current theme in the prophetic circles is to say that THE EC will go to 13 members, and then 3 will be removed, leaving 10. They claim THAT IS WHAT DANIEL "MEANT" TO SAY. A careful reading of Daniel 7 will show you that A BEAST WITH 10 HORNS EMERGES, AN 11TH ONE COMES UP AMONG THEM, HE REMOVES THREE OF THEM. 10-3=7! 7 + 1 = 8 total! Revelation 13 & 17 AGREE! "He is of the seven and is the EIGHTH"! BELIEVE GOD. This is PERVERSION OF SCRIPTURE to make something FIT, because they have a BIAS and a PRECONCEIVED THEOLOGY, and thus they have to "force" Scripture to make it match. The fact is, the 10 Kings of Daniel 2 (the ten toes), Daniel Seven's fourth Beast and the 10 Kings of Revelation ARE NOT THE SAME, What is happening is a cross-application that appears to be incorrect. The 10 Kings of Revelation 17, that give their power unto a BEAST THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PREVIOUSLY DEFINED! What CIS is saying is that THE UN BEAST POWER RISES UP, and divides the world INTO 10 BIO-REGIONS or KINGDOMS, which we believe has already been done under the Club of Rome. NAFTA is part of that plot, for they use TRADE AND ECONOMICS TO SET UP THEIR REGIONS. As it the WTO. BIO-REGION ONE IS CANADA, MEXICO AND AMERICA. NAFTA concerns FREE TRADE (no borders) between Canada, America and Mexico. THE EC IS THE "NAFTA" OF EUROPE. The goal: GLOBAL FREE TRADE with NO NATIONAL BORDERS. Each region has a LEADER/KING. This BEAST POWER, of DANIEL 7, gains its strength from SEVEN PRIMARY WESTERN KINGDOMS. It goes forth, according to Daniel, and DEVOURS THE WHOLE WORLD. Its headquarters are in THE NATION, BABYLON THE GREAT. It is controlled by THE WEST. We are not saying that the final result of the EC will not be 10 kingdoms. The EC is the counterpart of NAFTA for Europe, a BIO-REGION BEING FORMED. We are not saying that those possible 10 kingdoms will not play an important part in prophecy. We are saying simply that Scripture places the SPOTLIGHT ON ANOTHER ENTITY, That entity is a SINGULAR NATION, from her BIRTH ONWARD, not a confederation of nations, and that nation is the greatest SINGULAR NATION to ever grace planet earth! THAT NATION IS BABYLON THE GREAT, THE DAUGHTER OF THE CHALDEANS. IT IS THIS ENTITY THAT SPAWNS AND CONTROLS THE FOURTH BEAST OF DANIEL, THE UNITED NATIONS. It is also a fact that the Bible does not even remotely suggest the revival of an Old Roman Empire, which we shall get into later in this series. It not only does not suggest it, but both Daniel and John CATEGORICALLY DENY IT. Rome is not to be revived, BABYLON IS TO BE REVIVED, AND BABYLON OF THE END TIME IS PORTRAYED AS A SINGULAR NATION, NEVER AS AN ASSEMBLY OF NATIONS, AS IS THE EC! Babylon is THE PRIME MOVER of an ANTICHRIST ALLIANCE, of which the G-7 nations could be a fulfillment, but it cannot, at this time, be proved this is the case. Many prophecy teachers will tell you that all of the Old Testament prophecies against Babylon have been totally fulfilled. They apply ONLY, they claim, to ancient Babylon, and the vast majority of commentaries will tell you the same thing. THE ACTUAL FACT IS JUST THE OPPOSITE! When we first began to examine the Babylonian doctrines, we found commentary after commentary that said ALL OF THESE EVENTS HAD TRANSPIRED AND WERE FULFILLED IN THE ANCIENT PAST. We then went to the larger libraries and conducted a SECULAR SEARCH of the records on ancient Babylon. SURPRISE, SURPRISE!! The actual cuneiform records, some written by the rulers of ancient Babylon, spelled out a totally different story!!! These stories matched up with the secular historians!!! In point of fact, 90-95% of the prophecies against Babylon, written by Jeremiah, Isaiah and Habakkuk, REMAIN YET TO BE FULFILLED. THEY ALL POINT TO A GREAT END TIME NATION OF VAST WEALTH AND POWER, A NATION THAT IS THE GREATEST NATION THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN! Christ confirmed Jeremiah, Isaiah, Habakkuk and all the other Old Testament prophets as being GENUINE! Therefore, if they are genuine, THEIR WRITINGS MUST ALL COME TRUE, FOR THAT IS THE MARK OF A TRUE PROPHET OF GOD!! You simply CANNOT BELIEVE the data in some areas of the commentaries on the market today. They are full of distortions, mistakes and much erroneous reporting of actual facts. Some of them are also an attempt by the Luciferians to INFILTRATE AND DESTROY THE WORD OF GOD. BEWARE OF ALL NEW TRANSLATIONS OF SCRIPTURE, FOR THE WORD OF GOD IS BEING CHANGED, A BIT AT A TIME. Remember that Christ, Paul, Peter, John and Jude all warned that APOSTASY AND DECEPTION would sweep the vast majority of the latter day church into eternal ruin! YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ONE OF THEM. Almost all of what Jeremiah, Isaiah, Habakkuk, and others wrote concerning Babylon APPLIES TO THE LAST DAY BABYLON. There are in reality THREE APPEARANCES OF BABYLON on earth from the flood: 1. Nimrod's Babylon. 2. Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon. 3. Modern Babylon. When God gave the prophets the visions of Babylon, they referred to an entity that RISES, FALLS, RISES AND FALLS, AND FINALLY RISES FOR THE LAST TIME AT THE END OF THE AGE, DURING THE LAST GENERATION OF ISRAEL. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE VISIONS AND PROPHECIES CULMINATE IN A LAST DAY GREAT NATIONAL ENTITY AND WITHIN THAT NATION IS A CITY "MYSTERY BABYLON" Because the latter day BABYLON plays such a key role in ANTICHRIST ACTIVITY upon earth in the LAST DAYS, the vast majority of prophecies from the Old Testament ARE AGAINST THIS LATTER DAY NATION. It is that simple!! Because Babylon is a SINGULAR NATION that TURNS UPON ITS HERITAGE OF GOD, AND DESTROYS IT TO BECOME THE ANTICHRIST POWER OF THE END TIMES, it is of vital importance that we PROPERLY IDENTIFY WHO THIS NATION IS. One of the crucial prophecies against Babylon the Nation is found in Jeremiah 50. This verse of Scripture is SO STRICT in application that only two nations in the whole world fit it, and they fit WITHIN A VERY NARROW TIME FRAME, and that time frame was given to us by Jesus Himself in the Parable of the Fig Tree. This time parameter is so strict that these nations must fulfill every parameter within an 8o year span! Stop to think about this; that TWO NATIONS must rise upon the earth, in a proper sequence, and they both must be present during an 80 year time span, do certain things, then it becomes a strict parameter. The events of nation take place over many years, and most nations are quite old!! "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." (Jeremiah 50:12) As we stated in our first article, this is one of the most exacting parameters God gives us to identify this last great NATIONAL ENTITY called Babylon the Great. First, she must have a MOTHER THAT BORE HER. Secondly, this mother obviously MUST PRECEDE HER, LIVE DURING HER ENTIRE LIFE, AND WATCH HER BURN, AND SURVIVE HER DURING THE LAST PART OF THE TRIBULATION. That gives us several clues. First, the mother could not be a close neighbor, for she too would burn with Babylon. Secondly, we are now speaking of TWO NATIONS, that MUST LIVE DURING THE SAME TIME PERIOD. How easy is that to accomplish? The mother MUST BE the prime mover in the establishment of Babylon. Babylon then, must be a direct offspring. The people who first established this nation will be from this "mother country". Third, this relationship must remain THROUGHOUT the life of Babylon, with the "mother" being very close to Babylon itself in terms of CONTROL AND FUNCTION. These parameters are crucial, and very strict. As was asked previously, who is the mother of Iraq? Who is the mother of the EC, which is DISQUALIFIED ANYWAY BECAUSE THE EC IS AN ASSEMBLY OF NATIONS, not ONE national entity from its birth!? Who is the mother of Rome, which is a CITY, and NOT A LARGE NATIONAL ENTITY. Who is the mother of Russia? Who is the mother of Israel or Jerusalem? These nations or cities have all been advanced at one time or another as being "Babylon". The second aspect is that Babylon THE NATION is referred to as the HINDERMOST OF THE NATIONS. Jeremiah is looking down the tunnel of time, and is saying that BABYLON will be the LAST AND THE GREATEST NATION TO RISE IN THIS AGE. Of the great nations of the world today, who is the youngest? Everyone knows that America is THE YOUNGEST OF THE POWERFUL NATIONS, and is also THE GREATEST NATION TO EVER GRACE PLANET EARTH. It is also the HINDERMOST in the perspective of THE LAST RISE OF BABYLON!! Does Rome fulfill this parameter? Does Iraq? Russia? Does the EC, which is disqualified because it is an ALLIANCE OF NATIONS? None of them do; they do not come close!! Why cannot people simply accept what God says? There are only TWO NATIONS IN THE WORLD that fulfill this parameter! ONLY TWO!! And they fit it like a GLOVE. This one verse ALONE would identify who Babylon is!! ENGLAND AND AMERICA are the ONLY NATIONS IN THE WORLD TO FULFILL THIS PROPHECY TO THE EXACT LETTER. You see, it is not a matter of EVIDENCE, it is a matter of REFUSING THE EVIDENCE GIVEN. It is a matter of personal bias, of prejudice, of refusal to accept God and His Word. Scripture is not written in a complex manner. It is written in a manner that even a ten year old can understand, IF THE HEART IS RIGHT. God says HE WILL CHOOSE OUR DELUSIONS. Why would God, the holder of ALL TRUTH, who wants us to KNOW ALL TRUTH, turn right around and say he will PICK OUR DELUSIONS? Only one reason: THE HEART IS NOT RIGHT!! We have received some calls from people furious that we called America, "Babylon". We were accused of "manipulating" Scripture. We have not "manipulated" Scripture at all. We merely PRESENT IT FOR WHAT IT SAYS. God has picked THEIR DELUSIONS. THEIR HEARTS ARE NOT RIGHT. You could give them hundreds of verses to prove America is Babylon and they would all be UTTERLY REJECTED. Why? Because for whatever reason buried in their secret heart, THEY CANNOT ACCEPT TRUTH. THEY DO NOT WANT AMERICA TO BE BABYLON. They want motherhood and apple pie. They want Thanksgiving and Christmas. THEY WANT TO LIVE IN THEIR DELUSIONS. It is a SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS, because they do not WANT the real truth!! It is too painful for them to accept. The vast majority, however, simply HAVE NOT STUDIED IT OUT, and because they have not, SIMPLY DO NOT REALIZE AMERICA'S IDENTITY! ANTICHRIST TO RISE IN DECEPTION The other clue given in Scripture that should place us ON GUARD, is the fact that ANTICHRIST RISES IN DECEPTION. It is a DECEPTIVE PLOY OF SATAN. Deception means what it says: BABYLON WILL RISE TO FULL POWER WITH THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE NOT RECOGNIZING WHO BABYLON IS!. Do you understand what that means? It means that BABYLON THE NATION will not REVEAL ITS TRUE NATURE UNTIL THE VERY END. The MASK WILL BE RIPPED OFF and EXPOSED only after the DECEPTIVE RISE, AND ALL CONTROLLING FORCES ARE IN PLACE. Because deception usually works in REVERSALS (MIRROR IMAGES), and we end up with ANTICHRIST, then what is the REVERSE OF ANTICHRIST? CHRISTIAN!!! Thus it will be that THE LATTER DAY BABYLON will BEGIN AS A CHRISTIAN NATION. A NATION BASKING IN THE SUNLIGHT OF JESUS CHRIST!! That is what deception really means! For example, in Revelation, Jesus Christ spoke of a church called Laodicea, the lukewarm, apostate, social gospel church of the LAST DAYS. He said they were positive they were all saved and going to heaven. They were positive their works were APPROVED BY GOD. They were ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE OF ALL THIS. Jesus said: "THEY KNOW NOT." Do you see? THEY KNEW NOT THAT THE OPPOSITE WAS THE TRUTH!!! Their claim to salvation was IN REALITY A CLAIM TO ETERNAL RUIN. Their claim of good works, WAS IN REALITY A CLAIM TO EVIL WORKS. DECEPTION IS A REVERSAL OF THE REALITY. The person caught up in a deception is UTTERLY UNAWARE OF IT. He/she usually will not EVEN CONSIDER AN OPPOSING POINT OF VIEW, which is one of the CLUES they are in deception. Deception is SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS, and the Bible claims that SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS COMES FROM DISOBEDIENCE TO THE WORD OF GOD, or A REFUSAL OF THE WORD OF GOD!! THE PARAMETERS FOR THE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION OF BABYLON We will now examine some of the KEY PARAMETERS laid down by God to PROVE THAT AMERICA IS BABYLON THE GREAT, AND THAT NEW YORK CITY IS THE "GREAT CITY BABYLON", THE HOME OF MYSTERY BABYLON. Are you willing to face what God has to say? Are you willing to ACCEPT what God tells you? Are you willing to BELIEVE what God says, though it may mean a radical change in your thinking? When one discovers that one's beloved nation is portrayed by God as the ULTIMATE EVIL UPON EARTH, it is a shock. It shocks people to their very core. PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW WHO AMERICA IS ARE UNDER A DECEPTION. TO COME OUT FROM DECEPTION IS DIFFICULT AND PAINFUL. There are several phases a person goes through in this process: 1. ABSOLUTE DENIAL, EVEN THOUGH THE FACTS PRESENTED CANNOT BE REFUTED. Usually, the letters we get are angry letters, short and terse, simply saying IT IS FALSE, UNTRUE and America IS NOT BABYLON. No Scripture is ever presented, and if it is, it is taken way out of context. THIS IS A REFUSAL TO ACCEPT TRUTH. 2. CONSIDERATION THAT IT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE. The individual moves from REFUSAL and DENIAL to a painful recognition that IT MIGHT BE TRUE. The heart is being moved BY GOD to accept A POSSIBILITY; THE MIND IS OPENING UP. 3. ANGER AT BEING LIED TO, OR BEING MISLED FOR SO LONG. The next reaction is ANGER because one was misled, and the more one begins to see the real truth, the deeper goes the anger. We have to remember that DECEPTION was the key to all END TIME EVENTS, AND THAT IS NOT A MINOR DECEPTION, BUT MASSIVE!! 4. LOSS AND SADNESS, WITH TEARS OF SORROW. Many people report to us that when it is finally confirmed to them BY THE LORD, they enter into a period of depression and sadness. In point of fact, who would not? It is a sense of deep betrayal. We are now entering a NEW PHASE, A PHASE OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH. 5. CONFUSION. A STATE OF NOT BEING SURE, OF GOING FROM BELIEVING TO DENIAL. The mind and soul does not want to accept the facts as given in Scripture. The person involved goes back and forth, from acceptance to denial. To YES IT IS, to IT CANNOT BE. The mind says YES, the heart says NO. 6. GRADUAL ACCEPTANCE BECAUSE IT CANNOT BE DENIED. During this phase, the facts of Scripture cannot be denied, although an attempt to argue with God is involved. God's Word, however, outweighs OUR WANTS OR OUR DESIRES. FAITH IN GOD'S TRUTH GRADUALLY WINS OUT. GROWTH IS NOW A FACT. 7. PREPARATION FOR LOVED ONES, BECAUSE IT IS A TRUTH, AND IT HAS RAMIFICATIONS. The final acceptance, long and painful, leads to resolve to prepare for family and loved ones. The fact of America's being BABYLON THE GREAT has major ramifications for the Christian. 8. FULL ACCEPTANCE AND RELIANCE UPON GOD. TRUST IN GOD'S WORD. SPIRITUAL GROWTH HAS OCCURRED. Growth can only come from challenge. Challenge means to have your PRESET VIEWS ASSAULTED. It means CONFRONTATION by things you DID NOT BELIEVE TRUE AT ALL. Growth is PAINFUL. It hurts, but as WE GROW, as we OPEN OUR MINDS to many facets of God's Word, WE BECOME MUCH STRONGER. These phases may be gone through rapidly or slowly, depending upon the make-up of the person. CIS is asking you, the reader, to ACCEPT GOD'S WORD AS PLAINLY STATED. We are NOT asking you to BELIEVE ANYTHING WE SAY, but rather, that you DIG DEEPER INTO THE WORD AND BELIEVE WHAT GOD SAYS! BABYLON A CHRISTIAN NATION AT BIRTH One of the key parameters laid down by the Old Testament prophets is the implication, at least, that the latter day nation Babylon would be born a CHRISTIAN NATION, A NATION WITH THE HERITAGE OF GOD. Paradoxically, it is also portrayed as a nation that LABORED IN THE OCCULT FROM ITS VERY INCEPTION. In other words, Babylon is a nation with a SPLIT PERSONALITY, that claims both CHRIST AND LUCIFER AT THE SAME TIME. These two claims MERGE at the end, when APOSTATE AMERICAN CHRISTIANITY MERGES WITH THE "LUCIFERIANS". This paradox can be easily resolved when you understand that OCCULT FORCES ALWAYS WORK IN SECRET AND IN DARKNESS, while the CHRISTIAN ASPECTS ARE ALWAYS PLAINLY VISIBLE. In other words, the Bible portrays America as being VISIBLY CHRISTIAN, while behind the scenes THE ILLUMINISTS, AND THE MASONIC FORCES labor to bring America into their dominion. AMERICA IS A REFLECTION OF THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL, BETWEEN CHRIST AND SATAN, WITH EVIL TEMPORARILY WINNING OUT BECAUSE THE PEOPLE ABANDONED THE TRUE GOSPEL OF CHRIST. Babylon is a replay of ancient Israel! Babylon America finally goes under the dominion of the OCCULTIC FORCES (Revelation 18:3), which founded lodges in America as soon as she was born in the 1700's. "Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O YE DESTROYERS OF MINE HERITAGE, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls; (Jeremiah 50:11)." Babylon had the HERITAGE OF GOD and it turns and destroys it. At the same time it has the HERITAGE OF GOD, which we will explore to find out what it is, Isaiah 47:12 makes a comment that is just the opposite: "Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the MULTITUDE OF THY SORCERIES, WHEREIN THOU HAST LABOURED FROM THY YOUTH;.." (Isaiah 47:12) The word for sorceries is "kesheph", which means WITCHCRAFT, OR MAGIC. The root is "kashaph" and it means TO WHISPER A SPELL, TO ENCHANT, TO PRACTICE MAGIC OR WITCHCRAFT. Babylon is INVOLVED IN THE OCCULT from its YOUTH UP. Yet God then makes this statement in Jeremiah 51:7: "Babylon hath been a GOLDEN CUP IN THE LORD'S HAND, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad." (Jeremiah 51:7) The word "golden" is "zahab" and it means TO SHIMMER, GOLD, FAIR WEATHER, CLEAR SKY. It implies, NICE, GOOD, PLEASANT, OF VALUE. Immediately we see A SPLIT PERSONALITY, A NATION THAT IS BOTH CHRISTIAN AND ANTICHRIST. Exactly what is the heritage of God? A search of Scripture will prove out the following: 1. It refers to land (Psalm 135:12) 2. It refers to children (Psalm 127:5) 3. It refers to Israel and her people (Joel 2:17) 4. It refers to Christians (1 Peter 5:3) 5. It refers to the Word of God (1 Peter 5:3) 6. It refers to the COVENANTS OF GOD by implication. The COVENANTS OF GOD are the first and foremost of this "heritage", because it is upon the covenants that all of the others REST. It is the COVENANTS THAT ESTABLISH THE OWNERSHIP, which in turn, is the basis of the heritage. If Babylon had the HERITAGE OF GOD, WHICH IT DESTROYS, and this heritage applies to land, children, people and most of all COVENANTS, then America, to fulfill this prophecy, would have to have been at one time CONSIDERED BY GOD TO BE HIS, AND THE PEOPLE HIS. They would have entered into a spiritual covenant, WILLINGLY, and would have declared JESUS CHRIST, and GOD THE FATHER as their source of GUIDANCE AND AUTHORITY. The Supreme Court of the United States TWICE ruled that America WAS A CHRISTIAN NATION. The 1891 decision was very clear about what that meant. We can easily prove that BABYLON IS PORTRAYED AS A PRETRIBULATIONAL AND TRIBULATION NATION, which means IT IS A NATION WITHIN THE CHURCH AGE, thus UNDER THE NEW COVENANT. If a person accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, then that person is GRAFTED INTO THE NATION ISRAEL, and becomes part of the heritage of God. It cannot be otherwise, something Paul confirmed: "For there IS NO DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him (Romans 10:12)." Under the New Covenant of Jesus Christ, which is a NEW HEART VIA REGENERATION, there is NO DIFFERENCE between Jew and Gentile. ALL COME INTO THE NEW COVENANT VIA THE SAME WAY: REBIRTH. "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that BLINDNESS IN PART IS HAPPENED TO ISRAEL, until the FULNESS OF THE GENTILES BE COME IN (Romans 11:25)." What are the Gentiles brought INTO? What do they COME INTO? ISRAEL! They become part of ISRAEL, VIA THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM, THE FAITH OF CHRIST (THE SAME FAITH THEY BOTH HAD). They enter into ISRAEL, INTO GOD'S PEOPLE, via the NEW COVENANT. "And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a WILD OLIVE TREE, wert GRAFTED IN AMONG THEM, and WITH THEM PARTAKEST OF THE ROOT AND FATNESS OF THE OLIVE TREE; (Romans 11:17)." The Christian, says Paul, is GRAFTED INTO THE OLIVE TREE OF ISRAEL. They become partakers of ISRAEL. They become the HERITAGE OF GOD, GOD'S PEOPLE. If they are God's people, THEN THEY ARE PART OF GOD'S PROGRAM, and if part of the program, will they be a part of God's blessings? "Boast NOT AGAINST THE BRANCHES. But if thou boast, THOU BEAREST NOT THE ROOT, BUT THE ROOT THEE (Romans 11:18)." Paul warns Christians against boasting against Israel, or to word it another way, TO NOT RUN ISRAEL DOWN SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY REJECT CHRIST. Do not sit there and point a finger at Israel, or hate Israel, or the Jew, because, says Paul, THEY ARE THE ROOT, AND THEY BEAR YOU, NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND. There are many groups in America that HATE THE JEW. They claim all sorts of things against the Jew. They speak of a ZIONIST CONSPIRACY; they speak OF THE EVIL OF THE JEWS. They claim Israel is FALSE, and that God has UTTERLY CAST OFF ISRAEL, AND ALL OF THE PROMISES MADE TO ISRAEL HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED OVER TO THE CHURCH. Many of them even go so far as to say that Paul did not realize what was happening, and that Paul's comments and theology are in grave error!! There are those who claim America is in fact comprised of ISRAEL'S LOST 10 TRIBES, and is in fact ISRAEL itself!! They accomplish this by taking all of the prophecies concerning MILLENNIAL ISRAEL, and applying them to America in this age, which she does fulfill!! However, it is a perversion of Scripture, and a DENIAL OF THE COVENANTS OF GOD. God did not forever cast off Israel. He merely put Israel upon a shelf for their rejection of Christ. Paul says so: "BLINDNESS IN PART IS HAPPENED TO ISRAEL UNTIL THE FULLNESS OF THE GENTILES BE COME IN." It means what it says. The key word there is UNTIL. There is a time coming in which the ABRAHAMIC, PALESTINIAN, AND OTHER COVENANTS WILL BE RESTORED BACK TO ISRAEL. One of the key parts of the grand delusion is THE DENIAL OF ISRAEL having a RIGHT TO THE COVENANTS OF GOD. The Antichrist forces REPUDIATE THAT CLAIM, AND APPROPRIATE FOR THEMSELVES ALL OF THE COVENANTS. In their own ways and delusions, they claim they ARE ISRAEL. They claim they ARE THE REAL JEWS. This falsehood, this utter delusion, comes during the CHURCH AGE, and it comes from WITHIN THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH!! That is a crucial point, for Christ Himself mentions them, and tells us that these "CHRISTIANS" who claim they are JEWS (ISRAEL), but ARE NOT, are under a rank deception, and full of hatred. He forces them to bow at the foot of REAL CHRISTIANS. "BEHOLD, I WILL MAKE THEM OF THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN, WHICH SAY THEY ARE JEWS, AND ARE NOT, BUT DO LIE; BEHOLD, I WILL MAKE THEM TO COME AND WORSHIP BEFORE THY FEET, AND TO KNOW THAT I HAVE LOVED THEE (Revelation 3:9)." This comment was made to the Church of Philadelphia, the TRUE CHURCH OF THE LAST DAYS, A CHURCH CHRIST LOVED. This is a direct statement from Jesus Christ that during the latter times of the Church age, a MOVEMENT WITHIN THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH ITSELF, will come AND SWEEP THE LAND. These so called "Christians" will claim THEY ARE JEWS, THE REAL JEWS!! They claim they ARE ISRAEL, THE REAL ISRAEL, and that they are the INHERITORS of all of the covenants of God, and that the REAL JEWS are liars, frauds, and impostors. They will, because they think they are THE TRUE JEWS, and they attempt to SET UP A KINGDOM OF GOD UPON EARTH, AND THEY PERVERT PROPHECY TO DO IT. They are LIARS, SAID CHRIST. AND THEY ARE FULL OF HATRED, and they ESPOUSE DOCTRINES THAT ARE AT THEIR ROOT WHITE SUPREMACIST! They hate not only the Jew, but they hate all other races not their own, as well as anyone who does not agree with their Antichrist theology. THESE PEOPLE have various "ways" in which they make this claim. There are many dedicated and sincere Christians caught up in these movements, but they should remove themselves from them as fast as they can. Christ says these so called Christians, WHICH THEY ARE NOT, will BE FORCED TO BOW AND WORSHIP AT THE FOOT OF THE TRUE CHRISTIANS, WHO HAD TRUE LOVE IN THEIR HEART, NOT ONLY FOR THE JEWS, BUT FOR ALL PEOPLES OF THE WORLD. These groups claim in one form or another that they REPLACE ISRAEL, AND THE JEWS, AND THUS THEY BECOME THE TRUE JEWS, and THEY ALONE have the right to rule the world, and force their edicts upon everyone else. This is NOT TO SAY that Zionism, a movement of SOME (BUT NOT ALL) OF THE RICH MEN OF THE EARTH, does not make the same claim, for it does. That they try to bring about their one world government is a fact, for Isaiah 26 says they do, AND FAIL. This is not to say there are not high placed RICH Jews who are evil to their core and who are attempting to bring about a ZIONIST KINGDOM UPON EARTH, in which all other NON-JEWS are merely "animals". All one has to do is read the Jewish Babylonian Talmud and other like works to find that out. Jeremiah 24 speaks of them as "evil figs", so evil in fact, that they went beyond anything seen on planet earth! GOD WILL DESTROY THEM ALL IN HIS GOOD TIME. "Revenge is mine, saith the Lord." But EVIL HEARTS are not the special privilege of some rich Jews, whites, or rich men of any race. THE EVIL HEART IS WITHIN ALL MEN, and the true conspirators ARE THE UNREGENERATE RICH MEN OF THE EARTH, OF ALL RACES, COLORS AND CREEDS. IT IS A MONETARY AND POWER CONSPIRACY, NOT A RACE CONSPIRACY! But this remark of Jesus Christ, was made to one specific CHURCH, and that Church is the ONE TRUE CHURCH that Christ had no mention of fault for. HE LOVED THEM. They UNDERSTOOD THE COVENANTS, THE REGENERATED HEARTS, AND THE SPIRITUAL ASPECTS OF THE KINGDOM. These others, who are in reality the FOES OF CHRIST, the ENEMIES OF CHRIST, use the Bible to fabricate their OWN THEOLOGY TO JUSTIFY their own hatreds, prejudices and murders! THEY ARE THE TARES! It is this movement that fuels the fires of true anti-Semitism, and because of the actions of a few rich Jews, the entire race is held up as evil. God said it would happen, and it has. BUT CHRIST LOVES THE JEWS. We would all do well to remember that CHRIST LOVES ALL PEOPLES OF THE WORLD. His greatest wish, his greatest hope, is that ALL WOULD COME TO A KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH OF GOD'S LOVE!! Because this group of so called "Christians" uses the Bible to preach hatred, He will force them to kneel before the true Christian, whom they ALSO HATED WITH A VEHEMENT HATRED. CIA/CIS has had direct personal encounters with these people, and we know of others who have as well. THEIR HEARTS ARE FULL OF HATRED FOR ANYONE THAT DOES NOT AGREE WITH THEIR THEOLOGY. THEY HATE THE JEW, THE NEGRO, THE INDIAN, ALL NON-WHITES. AND THEIR OWN PEOPLE IF THEY DON'T AGREE WITH THEM, and their hatred explodes to near violence or violence if provoked. GOD HAS CHOSEN THEIR DELUSION. THEIR END WILL BE BITTERNESS, AND ETERNAL RUIN, IF THEY DO NOT REPENT A BIBLICAL REPENTANCE. They uphold Jesus Christ, they proclaim their theology from their Bibles, but they twist, distort and utterly destroy the TRUE AND BEAUTIFUL DOCTRINES OF CHRIST. They are OF THE WORLD, and they SPEAK OF THE WORLD. They wish to set up a THEOCRACY WITH AMERICA AS NEW JERUSALEM, AS NEW ZION. They are ANTICHRISTS, and will GO INTO THE ANTICHRIST DECEPTION, AND WILL BE PART OF THE ANTICHRIST PERSECUTION OF THE TRUE CHRISTIANS. They are utterly deceived. They will BE FORCED to come and worship at the feet of the TRUE CHRISTIAN, whom they openly persecuted and hated, and whom they called TARES. They will be forced into the fires of hell for eternity. It is interesting to note that even UNBELIEVERS, THE HEATHEN, KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE. Yet they are growing stronger every day as the delusion is cast down upon the earth. It is the ultimate deception that hate poses as love! That is one of the reasons why Antichrist goes upon the Temple Mount and walks into the Holy of Holies!! He honestly thinks HE HAS THE RIGHT. HE HONESTLY THINKS HE IS THE GOD OF ALL GOD'S. It is a delusion to cast those who embrace it, into the fire of eternal damnation, for they REJECT GOD AND CHRIST, HIS WORDS, HIS PROPHETIC PLAN, AND THEY REJECT REGENERATION, ALL THE WHILE CLAIMING THEY ARE OF GOD AND OF CHRIST. It is the height of DELUSION. Now then, it is easy to prove that WHEN A SOUL ACCEPTS JESUS CHRIST HE IS GRAFTED INTO ISRAEL. He become an Israelite. What happens if an entire nation of people ACCEPT CHRIST? Does God then consider the WHOLE NATION A CHRISTIAN NATION, AND THEREFORE HIS OWN? Would that nation then come under Deuteronomy 28 with its blessings and curses? Would that nation then ENTER INTO A NATIONAL COVENANT WITH GOD, THE SAME AS ISRAEL? The evidence suggests it would. America, because it was founded by both Christian and occultic people, BUT PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGED God and Jesus Christ in many of its original documents, BECOMES A FORM OF A SPIRITUAL ISRAEL! The Supreme Court in 1891 ACKNOWLEDGED AMERICA WAS A CHRISTIAN NATION. It is spiritual because the NEW COVENANT IS A COVENANT OF SPIRIT, OF A NEW HEART, OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD. Will it then come under the BLESSINGS OF DEUTERONOMY 28? America has in fact fulfilled all of the blessing outlined in Deuteronomy 28. She has been blessed, even though God knew perfectly well she would turn upon Him at the end. She is like Judas, who partook of the blessings of Christ, walked with Christ as one of the twelve, and was accepted as a BONA FIDE MEMBER OF THE GROUP. This is true even though Jesus knew the whole while JUDAS WOULD TURN. Satan came from the family of God. Cain came from the loins of Adam. Nimrod came from Noah. Judas came from the Twelve. Antichrist will come from the family of God. He is a DECEIVER, A USURPER, A LIAR, AN APOSTATE! America is no different. Simply because God knows that America will turn, HE WILL BLESS AMERICA UNTIL IT DOES TURN. If it does turn, Paul says something else happens: THE CURSES OF GOD WILL FALL: "Behold therefore the GOODNESS AND SEVERITY OF GOD: ON THEM WHICH FELL, SEVERITY; but toward thee, GOODNESS, if THOU CONTINUE IN HIS GOODNESS; OTHERWISE THOU ALSO SHALL BE CUT OFF (Romans 11:22)." Why would America be CUT OFF? What would cause America to leave God? The answer lies in Isaiah's claim that America labors from her youth IN THE OCCULT. THE OCCULTIC FORCES OF THE ILLUMINATI/MASONIC MOVEMENTS INFILTRATE AND TAKE OVER ALL KEY POSITIONS OF GOVERNMENT, MEDIA, CORPORATIONS, THE CHURCH, SCHOOLS, ETC. They do so via the POWER OF MONEY, AND IN SECRET, OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. Gradually they shift America away FROM A CHRISTIAN NATION OVER TO AN OCCULTIC NATION, RUN AND GOVERNED BY THE OCCULTIC FORCES. "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 (Revelation 18:2)." Read that again very carefully. This is not the demise of Babylon, this is THE FALL OF BABYLON TO THE OCCULT FORCES. It is the TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICA INTO A NATION THAT DESTROYS THE HERITAGE OF GOD. IT MURDERS AND IMPRISONS GOD'S PEOPLE AND ELEVATES LUCIFER TO THE THRONE OF THE NATION, according to Isaiah and Jeremiah. In other words, JUST BEFORE THE FINAL DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA, SHE WILL FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE OCCULT. The nation falls under TOTAL DEMONIC CONTROL! She becomes the home of every ANTICHRIST, ANTIGOD RELIGION AND BELIEF IN THE WORLD, THE MASONIC and ILLUMINIST DREAM FOR THE AGES! They forge a complete alliance between all the religions of man, and bring them together in a BABYLONIAN TEMPLE OF UNDERSTANDING. The nations TURNS and DESTROYS her heritage, her Constitution, her Bill of Rights, all of it. We are seeing it happen. NAFTA, THE CRIME CONTROL BILLS, TERRORIST BILLS, THE WTO, all of it is a fulfillment of these prophecies. Thus we must find a nation that begins its rise under the blessings of God, and who ends it in FULL AND UTTER REBELLION. Does America fulfill this foundation parameter? TO THE EXACT LETTER. When we examine the RELIGION OF BABYLON, we will explore deeply both aspects of this fall to the occult. NOW YOU KNOW WHY AMERICA IS GOING TOTALLY OCCULTIC, WHY THE SUPREME COURT HAS WAGED WAR UPON CHRIST AND CHRISTIANS, and why the leaders of America have embraced OCCULTISM and SATAN AS THEIR GOD!! When a nation receives its blessings from God and then turns its back upon God, THE CURSES BEGIN TO APPEAR. JUDGMENTS BEGIN, AND EVERY NATION THAT FORGETS GOD IS TURNED INTO HELL. AMERICA WILL SHORTLY BE TURNED INTO HELL, AND HER LEADERS WILL BURN FOREVER WITH THE FIRES OF ETERNAL RUIN. The occult forces, that labored since the birth of America to turn her away from Christ, succeed in the end, and destroy her; AND TURN AMERICA INTO NEW ZION, NEW JERUSALEM, THE NEW ATLANTIS, AND THEY ARE BURNED WITH THE FIRES OF AN ANGRY GOD.
