TENSIONS RISING IN ISRAEL AND THE MIDDLE EAST

 

 

Earlier this month, Israel launched a surprise assault against a group of Hezbollah fighters that Israel believed was planning to conduct terror attacks inside their borders. The attack killed six Hezbollah fighters and an Iranian general.

 

Hezbollah and Iran are ready to attack Israel in full force and the Israeli's are prepared to strike back in full force. Along with the current financial crises taking place in Greece, the EU, and America, the crises in the Middle East is of utmost importance.

 

A serious war in the Middle East involving Israel has the potential to put uncontrolable events into motion. Such a war could affect the current financial status of banks and world trade. Events could escalate quickly and cause the fall of governments that would bring about the new world financial order much sooner than expected.

 

Since the end of the Second World War there has never been a time as dangerous as the present times. In addition to simmering hatreds in the Mid-East the entire western world in in tremendous debt and unable to respond in a strong manner. Radical Islamists know this and are possibly preparing for war and terror attacks on a massive scale.

 

As warriors in the Kingdom of Yehovah we need to be ever watchful and prayerful in this current period. We are citizens and servants of the King of Kings, Yeshua Ha Maschiac, and we need to be vigilent in our spiritual warfare. The prayers of God's people are heard in heaven.

IMPORTANCE OF UNDERSTANDING THE HEBRAIC FOUNDATION OF CHRISTIAN FAITH

It is vital that we who follow Yeshua understand the Hebraic foundations of the Christian Faith. The Christian church has fallen far from her original foundations and has left us all the poorer for it.

We are grafted into Israel

A thorough reading of Romans 9 through 11 confirms that we have been grafted into Israel. The early believers in Yeshua were converted to the Covenants of God as expressed in the Old Testament.:

So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, describing the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren. Acts 15.3

You could say they were converted to Judaism! The Judaism they were converted into recognized Yeshua as the Messiah and did not conform to the oral law of the rabbi’s. These converts only studied the Torah or Law of Moses for instruction on how to live righteously--not the oral law and traditions of men the rabbi’s had developed.

This is a huge difference from Judaism. Even today in Judaism the oral law is studied more than the Torah and the word of the religious leaders, the rabbis, over rides the Torah. In other words, what the rabbis say and teach is final--no matter what the Torah or Bible says. These are the very things that Yeshua preached against. New believers only studied the Bible--not the oral laws or traditions of the elders.

Here are two examples from Matt 15.1-20:

Jesus uses the example of the “Corban”. This is a word meaning “something that is given.” The Mosaic Law said to honor you father and mother--part of this is to see to their welfare in older age. The Pharisee’s would let an individual say “Corban” and give a gift to the temple. Then later if the parents needed some help the children could say they had already given that money to the temple. (Sometimes the priest would use this “corban” for themselves.)

This violated the Mosaic Law on caring for your parents for a command the Pharisees had made up to get around that law. There are many other examples of these kinds of getting around the law in rabbinic writings. They would say Moses gave these laws orally, but forgot them, so they have restored them.

The issue of washing hands has many requirements or rules: 1. It is better to walk four miles to water than to occur guilt by not washing. Take a hike! Don’t eat until you wash hands. 2. One who neglects hand washing is as bad as a murderer. 3. One who neglects hand washing is as bad as going to a prostitute. 4. To eat without washing hands is as bad as eating non-kosher food. 5. One who eats without washing hands is to be uprooted.

Earlier Jesus had said about Pharisees: 1. They are plants not planted by God, therefore they are to be uprooted. 2. The blind guides lead the blind and will fall into a pit.

These issues are not Mosaic Law, which Jesus kept perfectly, but about Mishnaic Law--traditions of men. The Mishnah is sometimes thought to be more important than scripture. We do not believe this way--scripture is final word. We study scripture as the word of God--not the Mishnah.

The issue about washing hands according to the tradition of the elders now arises. Here, then is the Biblical definition of the Mishnah, “The tradition of the elders.” This does not make a great impression on Jesus. Jesus responds by pointing out three things:

1. The true definition of Pharisaism is hypocrisy. “In vain do they worship me proclaiming as their doctrine the traditions of men.”

2. You leave the commandment of God for the tradition of men.

3. I say they reject the commandment of God to keep your traditions.

Yeshua walked out the true Torah during His ministry and came against the man made laws the Sadducees and Pharisees had developed in order to live in what they thought was a higher purified state. They had erected a fence around the Torah and Yeshua tore that fence down. That was a constant focus of Jesus’ ministry--He had come to fulfill and teach Torah--not the man made laws which were used to control the lay people.

Jesus explains defilement: The act of “doing” something against the law is a defilement that is made inside--the act is carrying out the internal defilement--it is already in the heart. It is what comes from our hearts that defiles us. In our hearts we rebel against the laws of God. That is why Yeshua came as our sacrifice--but we are still required to live lawfully!

Once you understand this the scriptures begin to make much more sense. Early converts were coming into the Renewed Covenant which restored the Torah and in which Yeshua was our salvation from the judgments of the law. His death on the cross set us free from our sin and violation of Torah. Now we can walk in the spirit of the law!

The early converts were told:

“Known to God from eternity are all His works. Therefore I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to God, but that we write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood. For Moses has had throughout many generations those who preach him in every city, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.” Acts 15.18-21

They were to immediately restrain from pagan practices of sacrificing animals to idols, drinking the blood, from the sexual immorality that went along with those practices, and to go to the synagogue and study the Torah.

This was the reason the early believers were persecuted by the Jewish religious leaders of that time. They could no longer practice “Nicolatitanism” or control of the laity. The Torah was restored to it’s rightful place and Jesus was recognized as the Messiah King who would teach us God’s ways. He became our sacrificial lamb that sets us free from the curse of the law--our human inability to obey the law in it’s entirety because of our sinful heart.

Not Under the Law

The Christian church has totally forgotten the foundations of the gospel message. The most popular saying is, “We’re not under the law.” What they should be saying is, “We are no longer under the curse of the law because Jesus has saved us from our sin and rebellion of being unable to obey the entire law.” This is the truth of the matter.

Yeshua has saved us from our sin and inability to entirely obey the Torah. We are, however, still to live righteously. The law teaches us how to treat one another, to forgive, to restore, to heal, and to live the way God has instructed us to live.

World without Law

The world hates us because the world is lawless. The world hates God’s laws and does everything it can to dispute and over rule God’s law. That’s why Jesus said the world would hate us. If the world followed God’s Torah we would have no war, no killing, no stealing, no destruction, no hate, no abortion, marriage between a man and a woman, etc. We would strive to follow Torah--the instructions of God.

Until we, as God’s people understand this, there will never be peace on earth. Praise God there is a coming Millennial Kingdom in which all mankind will be taught God’s Royal Law! This is what our resurrection from the dead leads us to: The World of Tomorrow! The Bible explains it all.

Death Of Saudi King - The End Time Event Islamists Have Been Waiting For

 

 

The death of Saudi King Abullah may stir up events in the Middle East. His death fulfills endtime prophecy for many Shiite radical Islamists. His death may also affect the current financial crisis.

 

The Saudi's, along with China, have been surpressing the price of oil in an attempt to cause the U.S. fracking industry to collapse. It is very expensive to get oil out of the ground through the fracking process. The entire industry is highly leveraged through debt in the form of bank loans.

 

The longer the Saudi's keep the price of oil low the more drilling companies and banks are going to go out of business. In the long run this is going to have a crushing effect on the U.S. economy.

 

The major financial event to look forward to is for the Saudi's to announce that they will sell oil in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. That will be the end of the "Petro dollar" and the dominance of the USD. Watch for this development to occur in the next 18 months or less.

 

I present some articles on the Saudi situation for your perusal below.

 

Saudi King Abdullah Died, Friday January 23

A Lebanese reporter for the Al-Monitor Middle East news service explains that Iran and Hezbollah view the Syrian civil war not only in a strategic context, but in a prophetic one. In their belief, the radical Sunnis will conquer Syria for a short period of time and then Iranian forces will intervene on their way to destroying Israel.

The unnamed reporter points out that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah is, like Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, “known for being a strong believer” in the Shiite prophecy that Iran will lead an End Times war against Islam’s enemies. At that time, the Mahdi will “reappear” and defeat the infidel.

According to the author, Iran and Hezbollah rely upon a book of prophecies called Al-Jafr to guide them. It was passed down to Jafar al-Sadiq, for whom the Jafari school of Shiite jurisprudence is named after. Teachers of this book say that the Syrian leader will be killed in a civil war during the End Times.

A Sunni leader will take over Syria and persecute Shiites, Allawites and Christians. The persecution will continue until an Iranian army invades Syria via Iraq, killing this Sunni leader on the way to capturing Jerusalem. Once Jerusalem is taken, the Mahdi will appear. Interestingly, in a modern context, this means that Hezbollah is fighting to preserve the regime of a man (Bashar Assad) that they believe will be killed.

Keep in mind, the Jafari school of jurisprudence is mainstream Shiite doctrine. There’s bound to be disagreement over the interpretation of prophecy, but these are not the beliefs of an isolated cult. In July 2010, a senior Iranian cleric said that Khamenei told his inner circle that he had met with the Mahdi, who promised to “reappear” during his lifetime.

A very similar eschatological viewpoint is articulated in a 2011 documentary produced by the office of then-President Ahmadinejad. The film, titled The Coming is Upon Us, does not predict a Syrian civil war but shares many of the same details articulated by the Al-Monitor reporter in Lebanon.

A critical point of convergence between the two sources is about Saudi Arabia’s role in prophecy. Both agree that the death of Saudi King Abdullah will be a major trigger. In fact, this event is so central to the Iranian film that it opens up with the statement, “Whoever guarantees the death of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, I will guarantee the imminent reappearance of Mahdi.”

What’s amazing about this film is the high level of detail of the discussed prophecies. It is easy to see why, if you were a devout Muslim (especially a Shiite), you would believe that the Mahdi’s return is near.

The arrival of Jews in Palestine from the West and the birth of the state of Israel, the conquering of Arabia by the Al-Sauds and the global dominance of the U.S. and the West are all clearly foretold, it claims.

An Allah-blessed revolution will take place in Iran led by a man based out of Qom. The narrators point to the 1979 Islamic Revolution as a clear fulfillment. After this happens, a series of vague and specific “signs” are to follow.

The most specific “signs” are related to Iraq. The Iranian video claims that prophecy requires the invasion of Iraq by infidels from the south with heavy use of aircraft, as happened in 2003. The infidel will cause tribal divisions and the evil dictator of Iraq (Saddam), will be killed.

Other signs include the Westernization of Muslim youth (with the 2009 Green Revolution offered as evidence), the Iran-backed Houthi rebellion in Yemen and the overthrow of Egyptian President Mubarak.

“The preparer,” named Seyed Khorasani, will rule Iran at this decisive point in history. He will come from Khorasan Province, his strong army will have black flags and there will be a “sign” in his right hand. The filmmakers point out that Khamenei fills these requirements and has a disabled right hand.

Yamani will coordinate the offensive against the infidel with Khorasani that trigger the Mahdi’s reappearance. The film argues that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah is his incarnation. Yamani will have a Yemeni background and it says that Nasrallah’s ancestors came to Lebanon from Yemen.

Khorasani/Khamenei’s military leader is given the name of Shoeib-Ebne Saleh. The film allegedly produced by Ahmadinejad’s office predictably says he is the incarnation of this figure. However, any military commander under Khamenei can arguably be him.

Analysis of these prophecies helps us see the future through the eyes of Hezbollah and the Iranian regime.

Iran and Hezbollah are first focused on assembling an anti-Western Arab coalition. The Coming is Upon Us film specifically cites the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood as a step towards this, even if Iran and the Brotherhood are on opposite sides in Syria.

This stage includes fomenting internal strife in Bahrain, a Shiite-majority country governed by a pro-American Sunni monarchy. A representative of Khamenei said in 2011 that Bahrain presents “the best opportunity to begin setting the stage for the emergence of the 12th imam, our Mahdi.”

The development that Iran is eagerly awaiting is the death of the Saudi King Abdullah, which will trigger internal strife throughout Saudi Arabia. It is probable that this is when Iran hopes to begin a rebellion in the Shiite-majority Eastern Province where 90% of the country’s oil is.

After Assad is killed and replaced by a vicious Sunni leader, Iranian forces are to invade Syria from Iraq. The withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and the Iraqi government’s slide into the Iranian orbit are undoubtedly seen as dramatic “signs.”

Once an Arab coalition is formed and Syria is invaded, Jerusalem is to be captured by the Iranian-led forces. At this point, the Mahdi is to reappear and final victory will come that includes a Nasrallah-led march to Mecca.

The Al-Monitor report appears fanciful until all of these pieces are put together. Once they are, it is easier to understand why the Iran-Hezbollah bloc is confident of victory.

“According to Shiites who believe in this [Al-Jafr] book, mainly Khamenei and Nasrallah, there is one possible explanation. The signs of reappearance of Mahdi are being successfully unveiled, and the Great War with Israel and the disbelievers is just around the corner,” writes the Lebanese reporter.

The Shiite Islamists’ End Times worldview does not necessarily result in recklessness. They do consider military strength and geopolitical realities, but the objectives of those calculations are to fulfill prophecy. Any policy debate that takes place among them is not about whether to pursue the war that summons the Mahdi, but how.

Rabbi Jonathan Cahn: Biblical Warnings In Obama Speech
 

President Obama’s state of the union address was loaded with sweet delights meant to bedazzle America’s long-suffering middle class as he signaled economic prosperity for all is waiting just around the corner.

But the author of a New York Times-best-selling book about America’s future in a post-Christian society was not impressed.

He sees dark storm clouds closing in on Obama’s rays of sunshine, citing “harbingers” that the country is sliding headlong toward a collapse – with blindfolds securely fastened.

“Listening to the president’s State of the Union address, I was reminded of ancient Israel,” said Jonathan Cahn, author of “The Mystery of the Shemitah” and “The Harbinger,” which draws parallels between America’s falling away from God and a series of judgments that will come as a result.

“The people of Israel convinced themselves that they were coming back stronger than before,” Cahn told WND. “And then it all collapsed, and the judgment came.”

Cahn sees warning signs of potential judgment coming to America as the current Shemitah year nears the halfway point.

The Shemitah comes once every seven years. In biblical Israel it brought a canceling of debts, a resting of the land from sowing and reaping, and a resetting of financial accounts. The seven-year Shemitah cycle was meant as a blessing as long as the Israelites followed God and observed his ways, but it could manifest as judgment if the nation turned to its own devices and removed God from its culture and legal system.

The specific avenues of potential judgment Cahn is watching are the economy and the rise of ISIS as a new terrorist threat to America. The last two Shemitah years — 2000-2001 and 2007-2008 — brought the 9/11 attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, and the historic stock market crash of September 2008.

FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC RESET STARTING NOW

 

 

Lately I have not been posting as often as in the past. I am working on some postings that will be quite interesting in future publications. In the meantime I have been posting various articles on the current economic situation throughout the world.

 

These economic conditions and currency wars are leading to a new world financial order. From a Biblical standpoint the financial and economic problems are leading towards a new world economic system in which the United States dollar will no longer be the world's reserve currency.

 

The coming economic changes are going to result in momentous changes in the current world order. These changes will be laying the foundation for the coming time of "Jacob's Trouble" as written in the Scriptures. These changes will lead to even greater changes that will eventually lead to the unveiling of the person known as the Antichrist.

 

The time is not yet for the Antichrist to appear but it is on the horizon. I can say this with confidence because the scriptures indicate that Jerusalem must be divided prior to the unveiling of the Antichrist (Zechariah 14.1-3).

 

In summary then: the current financial chaos will lead to a new world financial order in which the United States will no longer lead. Then trouble and war in the Middle East will cause the city of Jerusalem to be divided. Once that event occurs we can begin looking for the Antichrist.

 

In the meantime we watch with prayer and great interest the ongoing financial volitility in the markets as the means through which the new world order will become established. The following links describes the ramifications of the Swiss unpegging the Swiss Franc from the Euro. This year will see many unexpected financial events that will lead to the demise of the U.S. Dollar dominance in world trade. Fasten your seatbelts!

The United States Dollar Under Severe Pressure, Gold Backed Currency, and Oil

 

 

For those of you following this blog you know everything is connected. We have covered Hebrew Roots, prophetic events, Jonathan Cahn's Harbinger and Shemitah messages, and current financial events. It has all been discussed on this blog during the past 15 months.

 

Just two days ago the Swiss announced the Swiss Franc would no longer be pegged to the Euro.

http://www.silverdoctors.com/swiss-national-bank-tells-the-world-were-getting-off-this-train-craig-hemke/#more-50021 and  http://www.silverdoctors.com/market-chaos-as-swiss-franc-surges-30-in-13-minutes-gold-explodes-higher/ which will result in excessive printing of paper money in Europe.

 

The gold and silver markets are beginning to heat up as traders react to the coming world wide QE that is going to resutl in a new world partially backed by gold. Nobody really knows what is going to happen. As believers in Yeshua we are looking up towards Him. He is going to guide and direct His people during these uncertain times.

 

If you have not been preparing mentally and spiritually for the coming disruptions which are coming you better start soon. Yes, the Lord will take care of things, but He also encourages us to be like Joseph and prepare for the lean times. Events are speeding up. Financial markets are roiling, unrest is everywhere, and most of God's people have no clue as to what is coming.

 

The following link by Jim Willie contains some possible scenarios of what is coming. I think much of what he says may be coming. We need to have an understanding of things and try to prepare as much as possible. This year is going to be a key year. It is the Shemitah year as written in the "Mystery of the Shemitah," by J. Cahn http://www.amazon.com/dp/1629981931/?tag=mh0b-20&hvadid=4962468861&ref=pd_sl_4ryl26hv62_e

 

We take one day at a time and prepare the same way. All I know for sure is that 2015 is going to be a key year as the the new world order begins to establish itself in the earth. The following link contains many things which may occur. How quickly they happen is up the Father. We're all going to be tested during the coming years in ways like never before in our walk. Now is the time to process and wrestle with the Lord--now before it all starts happening.

SATAN IS THE MASTER OF DECEPTION

 

I've been sharing a lot on deception in recent posts. Today I'd like to direct you to a great article on deception written on Parables Blog:

 

http://parablesblog.blogspot.com/2015/01/chasing-rabbits.html

 

 

WILL GREAT BRITAIN LEAVE THE EUROPEAN UNION?

 

There are so many things happening on the world stage that it is necessary that we do not become too dogmatic in our views of the coming new world order. We need to watch and pray. The article and link below express an opinion based on watching current and past geopolitical events. There is a lot of merit in these opinions.

 

I present this article for your perusal. There is a lot of truth in their interpretation of end time events. I believe Britain is going to leave the EU, that Germany will be the economic and military leader in Europe, and the Vatican will play an increasing influential role in the Middle East. We can't be sure how this is going to play out but we need to watch and pray as these events occur. Keep this in mind as you read the following article. 

If the European Union wants to make British people angry, it’s doing a stellar job. In October, after revising how they calculate gross domestic product, EU officials determined that Britain was wealthier than they thought. They abruptly handed Britain an unexpected bill for $2.7 billion, including back payment, for the EU budget.

Then other EU leaders publicly castigated London for noncompliance with the EU’s liberal immigration policies. And in November, Jean-Claude Juncker—a man who openly spurns democratic norms, saying, for example, in 2011, “I am for secret, dark debates”—was appointed president of the European Commission.

Britain’s simmering resentment of the EU boiled over.

Ever since Britain joined up with Europe in 1973, it has experienced rhetorical fights, political impasses and financial catastrophes. Rather than cohering and melding into Europe, its closeness with the Continent has only caused friction. Yet it has remained steadfastly part of the EU.

But signs are increasing that this relationship is at an impasse. These days, major problems with Europe seem to come every few months, each sparking a reaction more impassioned than the last. And in 2014, the British electorate sent a strong message that it is ready to end the status quo.

In late May, for the first time since 1910, neither the Labor Party nor the Conservative Party won in a nationwide election. The UK Independence Party (ukip) won 26.8 percent of the vote in the European elections, followed by Labor and the Conservatives, which each won around 25 percent.

But ukip always does relatively well in EU elections. Thus, many people dismissed this as a flash in the pan—the apex of ukip’s dramatic rise, which would see it coast back to obscurity in time for the national elections in 2015.

That notion was dispelled in the autumn. On October 9, for the first time ever, a ukip member won an election for a seat in Britain’s Parliament. Then on November 20, a second was voted in. “An Earthquake Called UKIP Hits Britain,” read the title of the Wall Street Journal’s coverage. In both cases, these were high-profile politicians who had defected from the Conservative Party. Their victories put ukip on the national map. ukip also came close to winning seats previously held by Labor Party candidates. Many pundits predict that it will pick up several seats in the next election.
Britain is undergoing a huge political shift.

The shift is so dramatic that U.S. think tank Stratfor—an organization that rarely focuses on internal national politics—noted that ukip leader Nigel Farage’s “rapid rise in British politics has moved the entire British political spectrum toward more euroskeptical positions, and no major party is impervious to ukip’s influence. … Britain’s traditional party system dominated by the Tories [Conservatives] and Labor will undergo a tough test in 2015″ (Oct. 15, 2014).

As 2015 dawns on Britain’s relationship with the EU, one thing is clearer than ever. Britain has gone as far toward EU integration as it’s ever going to get. And the gap between the Isles and the Continent is widening fast.

Why is the UK always the fractious member, always wanting to do its own thing? Other EU member countries have issues with Brussels—but none is so keen on leaving as Britain.

What we are seeing is really a manifestation of a fundamental and historical difference between people of Britain and those on the European mainland. Understanding this difference can illuminate just how irreconcilable the differences that are visible between the two really are. And beyond that, it can help to show the direction we can expect Europe to take once—as we expect will happen—the UK is no longer in the picture.

The essential nature of this difference can be best understood by viewing today’s European unification project in its historical context.

THE POWER OF DECEPTION

 

The power of deception is the ability to deceive. It is the ability to disguise that which you are really trying to accomplish. It is trickery, the means of deceiving to achieve a particular end. It is the ability to get some organization, competitor, or the masses to be manipulated and tricked into doing what you want them to do--or to believe. It is to mislead and misdirect.

A great example of this is found in the game of football. On both sides of the ball--on offense and on defense--the plays are designed to deceive the opposing team into thinking they know what the other team is doing. As the play develops the true nature of the play becomes evident. If the deception is well played the opposing team will be fooled resulting in “big play” that can change the outcome of the game.

Coaches get paid big money to design offensive and defensive schemes to outwit the opposing team. Teams practice these plays over and over until these plays become convincing to the opponent. Some quarterbacks are expert at handing off the football and feigning that they still have the ball. Payton Manning in his younger days was very good at it along with Tom Brady.

Even the motion or direction of designed plays in football are designed to deceive the opponent. Some teams will run or pass the ball in the opposite direction in which it seems the play is supposed to go. The best teams have the best schemes and the best players to execute these plays.

In war, generals attempt to deceive the enemy into thinking the opposite of what they think they see. In corporate competition there are many deceptions. Corporations will try to get the competition to think they are working on a particular design when in reality they are working on something entirely different. The world we live in is rife with deception of every kind. It is the power of the spirit of the air of this present world!

Lucifer was cast down from heaven because he chose to live this way. He became full of himself and rebelled from his Creator Yehovah. See Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 for all the details. Lucifer will do whatever he can to deceive mankind into disobedience towards God.

"You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” John 8.44

No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 2 Corinthians 11.14

But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. 2 Corinthians 11.3

And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. Rev 12.9

…that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. 2 Thess 2.9-10


As we have discussed in recent postings, our natural desires can lead us into sin if we allow ourselves to be deceived. Sadly the church has been infiltrated by new age, Wicca, and eastern religions to the point that many believers cannot discern the difference between what God requires and what are pagan practices. This can be a very contentious issue among believers and can cause serious conflict.

A perfect example of this is the pagan religion of Marion which is embedded in the Roman Catholic Church. Mary is not a perpetual virgin, she is not sinless, did not ascend to heaven, and is not a mediator between mankind and Jesus. A thorough study of the Bible will prove this.

Jesus had brothers and sisters: "behold, His (Jesus') mother and His brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak with Him." Matthew 12:46

Mary was in need of salvation: And Mary said: "My soul exalts the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.” Luke 146-47

Therefore she died and is awaiting her resurrection from the dead: “For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day." John 6.40

Mary is not our mediator: For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2.5

Not only is the Marion doctrine false, it is one of the great deceptions of our adversary, Hasatan. There are millions, if not billions of people, who believe in her and believe she has appeared at various places and times. See this link for many insights into this and other deceptions:

Her cult is the classic angel of light Paul speaks of in 2 Corinthians 11.14. Her influence is great on the earth. She is the Queen of Heaven--in the spirit of Jezebel--deceiving the world. She is a real deceiving spirit that has misled countless millions of people. This is a real spirit--a demonic spirit of deception.

Search the scriptures for yourself. Don’t listen to me. Future deceptions coming upon this world will be similar in nature to the Marion Deception. Since many millions worship and pray to her what if at some future date she should appear and endorse a man as being her son? Endorse a man as being the Messiah we have been waiting for. These millions will be deceived into believing in an Antichrist false figure!

She has the power of deception in her bosom. She is the manifestation of many ancient goddesses. Isis, Asherah, Ishtar, Diana, Minerva, Juno, Columbia. Her roots are in all these manifestations we have seen down through the centuries. She is an angel of light--a false prophet--but millions swear by her and will never leave her tradition. They will keep the “traditions of men” rather than follow the true God Yehovah.

Here is an example of the power of deception. Signs and symbols have significant meaning. Many who have come to the Lord in the past were into the new age. It becomes easy to identify these believers because they unwittingly bring the signs and symbols from new age and mingle it with their faith in the Lord. They still have mixture that the Lord does not approve of in their walk.

Feminism is really a great part of new age beliefs. In reality the roots of feminism go back to Wicca and goddess worship. The female becomes the goddess of wisdom and understanding. The female becomes the defacto leader, without the lawful authority of God. The spirit of Jezebel is behind feminism. How does this line up with God’s chain of command as outlined in His word?

I don’t have a problem with women leaders. When men refuse to lead God will often raise up a woman to light a fire under the men as in Judges 4. Debra had to prod Barak to do what God wanted him to do. Debra got the credit for the victory but God balanced out the situation with Barak’s presence and participation. She did not go by herself.

We need to be careful to understand God’s chain of command. We will avoid many problems if we are doing things as outlined in the word. It is very easy for us to be deceived. A major problem in the church today is a misunderstanding of the roots of paganism--the spirit of the world--and how we have allowed the enemy to infiltrate our doctrine with pagan beliefs, signs, and symbols. Most blow it off and refuse to see the pagan mixture.

When I began to understand the Bible with a Hebraic understanding these things began to become clear. Many have relegated the Old Testament to the dusty book shelf. The key is to understand paganism as described in the O.T. so that we are able to identify these “spirits” in our assemblies today.

Many bemoan the fact that there is no power in the church. Until we have a clear understanding of paganism, and how it is active in our churches today, we will not be seeing God’s true power in action. God is not going to use a vessel that is full of mixture to reveal His healing and miraculous power to the world. He is looking for vessels that have allowed Him to search their hearts and cleanse them of any SELF serving agenda or foreign “gods”.

That how we will be able to discern true prophets of God verses false prophets performing signs and wonders. We will be able to discern those who have a SELF serving agenda and who are in it for SELF glory and not the glory of Yehovah. “Ye shall know them by their fruits.”

Marionism is a powerful deception that glorifies the goddess and takes our eyes off of Yeshua. It is a “form of godliness without the power thereof.” God is searching for those who will yield to Him in a much deeper way as we approach the end of this age. All SELF must die.

I close with a part of a poem by the English poet Rudyard Kipling. It is a condemnation of paganism in our modern world:

No doubt but ye are the People; who shall make you afraid?

Also your gods are many; no doubt but your gods shall aid.

Idols of greasy altars built for the body’s ease;

Proud little brazen Baals and talking fetishes;

Teraphs of sept and party and wise wood-pavement gods—

These shall come down to the battle and snatch you from under the rods? Rudyard Kipling.

　

IS POPE FRANCIS A MASTER OF DECEPTION?

 

 

As we move towards a new world order the power of the Vatican is going to have a great influence on political events. In fact, the Pope is going to wield tremendous political power. This article explores the recent Papel endorsed U.S.- Cuba relations thaw.

 

 

Why Did Pope Francis Push for a U.S.-Cuba Thaw?

 

 

“How many divisions does the pope of Rome have?” That was Soviet leader Joseph Stalin’s reply after British Prime Minister Winston Churchill advised him, in the aftermath of World War II, to consider the Vatican’s perspective while laying out a plan for the future of Eastern Europe.

Stalin respected only brute force. The Vatican had none, so he dismissed it as irrelevant.

 

But today Stalin and the Soviet behemoth he led are long gone, while the papal system remains. And it was actually a pope—blending politics with religion—who sparked the revolution that eventually toppled the Berlin Wall, and brought down that Soviet system.

 

In the decades since the Berlin Wall crumbled, the Vatican has wielded its political power in other international disputes: In the early 1990s, it helped bust Yugoslavia apart along lines that benefited Germany’s Europe project. In 2007, it defused a potentially explosive conflict by persuading Iran to release 15 captured British sailors. The next year, it was instrumental in forcing the resignation of an Italian prime minister.

But last month, all these events were eclipsed by a bolder and starker display of papal political might: Restoring diplomatic ties between the U.S. and Cuba after a 53-year deep freeze.

“Pope Francis issued a personal appeal to me, and to Cuba’s President Raúl Castro,” President Barack Obama said Dec. 17, 2014. That appeal came in the form of letters the pope wrote to both leaders, which the Vatican followed up by hosting a secret meeting in Rome.

But it was actually Francis’s predecessor, Emeritus Pope Benedict xvi, who in 2013 made the first high-level Vatican moves to normalize U.S.-Cuba relations. Francis carried on his work, and, after months of maneuvering behind the scenes, the historic deal was sealed.

“Francis is a master of blending the spiritual with the political,” wrote npr’s Rome-based senior Europe correspondent, Sylvia Poggioli. “[He] has embraced the bully pulpit of the papacy, emerging as a daring, independent broker on the global stage.”

Papal biographer Austen Ivereigh said, “Francis is a genius at breaking through and building bridges across boundaries.”

But what kinds of deals is Francis brokering? What kind of bridges is he building? And who do they benefit? The Vatican’s statement about the deal said it is “in the interest of the citizens of both countries.”

RAMPANT DECEPTIONS ABOUND IN U.S. FINANCIAL MARKETS

By Jim Willie, GoldenJackass.com

 

We've been discussing deception now it is time to see how the financial markets are being manipulated in order to deceive us. This article by Jim Willie uncovers the current financial deceptions in U.S. markets.

 

 

As 2014 leaves off and 2015 begins anew, the main theme seems to be the end of the American Empire, the demise of the Petro-Dollar, the blunt of USMilitary over-reach, and the global urgency of putting the King Dollar into a cement casing coffin. The global movement will gain strong momentum to end the dollarized terrorized nightmare. The entire world is coming to realize that the USDollar is wrecking the financial structures, ruining economies, forcing colossal debt abuses, while its defense is a grand threat to world peace.

 

The extension of time before the execution has required pilferage of foreign adversary wealth and confiscation of foreign allied wealth. Shrouded in the entire grand transition is a myriad of deceptions, each playing a special role to maintain the system that favors the exceptional criminal and corrupt nation, the United States. The deceptions carry over into almost every aspect of financial and economic life and times.

 

Many are the deceptions as features to the diverse and powerful End Game underway and in progress. It is like a pathogenesis for the cancer which has become the USDollar.
Any currency supported by hyper monetary inflation on one side, profound bond fraud on a second side, rigged markets on a third side, and war on a fourth side, is no longer honorable or worthy of further viability.

The doctors are not treating the cancer; they are spreading it.
The bankers and phony statesmen and military agents are the doctors, spreading it to the diverse areas of the world like metastasis. The deceptions deserve some explanation in outline form. The common theme is the grand deceptions committed on a regular frequent basis by the United States, the core of the fascist state movement, the site wishing to preserve he USDollar printing privilege, the home of the economy on a credit card, the headquarters of war with motive to defend the cancerous USDollar and its entire supporting criminal cast, the base where global bank rules are disseminated much like a genetically modified dandelion.

NUMEROUS GRAND DECEPTIONS

• USDollar is described and portrayed as strong, when its higher value relative to other worthless fiat paper currencies indicates the entire financial structures are breaking down in visible terms
• Central banks carry the QE load, while they lie about hidden support for fractured devastated bank derivatives possibly in the $trillions, and while they speak of its stimulus (but it kills capital on Main Street)
• USEconomy in depression with numerous sectors falling, but called 3% growth in aggregate (a grotesque basic contradiction), as Sears approaches bankrupty and numerous major employers announce job cuts due to poor sales
• US-based jobless rate over 22%, as millions fall off the counter, while fewer full-time jobs are in the USEconomy than in 2007, as part-time low level posts dominate
• US stole Ukraine central bank gold, but blamed Russia for annexing Crimea during the simplistic distraction

THE NATURE OF DECEPTION

Recently we discussed the root of deception. Today we will look into the nature of deception. Deception is meant to deceive. It is fraud disguised as truth. It is corruption made to look like true opportunity. It is illusion. It is a trap. It is meant to get the victim to change course and get off track. It preys on our human weakness and desires--greed, jealousy, all our character flaws. It is Hasatan’s most powerful tool.

It begins with Eve in the Garden of Eden in Genesis chapter three when the adversary twists God’s instruction which he gave Adam and Eve. “Did God really say that? He didn’t really mean that. He is hiding something from you which you deserve.”

So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. Gen 3.6
The tree appealed to their senses. It was good for food, pleasant to the eye, and desirable to make one wise. It appealed to their fleshly desires. They listened to the adversary’s broadcast and disinformation and Eve allowed herself to be deceived. She gave the fruit to Adam, who knew better and should have corrected her--he ate it too.

We husbands like to please our wives whether we want to admit it or not. Adam wanted to please her and he joined her in her disobedience without giving the situation much thought. Their eyes were opened to things God would have preferred they did not know or see. Their age of innocence was over.

Eve had left the covering of her husband and was deceived by the lie. She should have checked with Adam first before she ate of the fruit. Adam should have refused the fruit but did not want to have a family argument. Instead of following God’s word he went along with Eve.

Deception sows doubt in our minds. That was what the adversary created in Adam and Eve’s minds. He questioned Eve on the truth of God’s word. Eve didn’t take the time to go back to her husband and ask him exactly what God had told him. She didn’t take time to do her Bible study but listened to what sounded good to her. How often we do this without researching on our own.

Adam was down right negligent. He knew better. He let his guard down.

Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings. And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.” And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?” Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.” And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” Genesis 3.7-13
Adam blamed Eve. At least he was honest when he admitted he ate without questioning. Eve admitted that she had been deceived. The two innocents didn’t get to enjoy life very long before they where introduced to life’s hard reality. Hasatan once again was attacking God’s eternal plans. He had been cast down to earth and was broadcasting his selfish way of life into all of God’s earthly creation. Man had chosen to disobey God and sinned against God’s word--His instruction (commandments).

Now Adam and Eve would know death:

Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
They knew nothing of sin and death until they chose to go against God’s law. Hasatan deceived them. He told Eve the truth--they would know good and evil--with a subtle questioning of God. He put doubt into Eve’s mind and rather than going back and seek truth she took the bait.

The nature of deception is too create doubt in our minds. Hasatan constantly broadcasts this doubt through the air and into our minds. He subtly twists God’s truth in order to create doubt in our minds. Once we act upon that doubt we fall into sin. Doubt, in effect, is temptation. Doubt creates confusion and we are tempted to take impulsive action. The temptation appeals to our soulish or self nature. The lust of the eyes and flesh. Immediate self gratification.

The first defense against deception is to have a thorough knowledge of God’s word as written in the entire Bible--both Old and New Testaments. When in doubt, refer back to the Bible. Search for an answer. Let it be ingrained in the mind. “Bind them on our foreheads” as it says in Deuteronomy 6.8.

Our soulish or self nature is where the conflict of the lust of the flesh takes place. We desire to satisfy ourselves in all things. That is our soulish nature. We were created this way. We hunger, we eat. We want to be warm, we build a fire and warm ourselves. We want things, we work for the money to purchase them. This is natural.

Our soulish nature and desire of the flesh become sinful when we begin to fall into self gratification. When we begin to covet what our neighbor has rather than work for it ourselves. When we become jealous of what our neighbor has and steal or kill for it. This is what God’s law or Torah focuses on--righteous living--self sacrifice.

When our soulish desires become corrupted by lust, jealously, envy, etc, then we are breaking God’s law. If we go about living righteously and work honestly to provide for ourselves and families we are in effect obeying God’s Torah.

Nations steal, kill, and destroy for natural resources. Nations go to war because they jealously watch another nation prosper. This is sin on a national scale. This is how Hasatan operates in this present world. It is his domain until all things are put under Yeshua’s feet.

To achieve his ends, Hasatan will use deception to prey upon our soulish nature. He will broadcast lies into our minds in the form of gossip, slander, jealousies, envies, and the like, until we act upon these deceptions and lies.

God’s written word warns and prepares our minds for these attacks. The more we meditate on God’s instruction, law, and Torah the safer we are. Our minds begin to tune into God’s broadcasting station. We begin to discern between the lies and deception of the enemy and the truth of God’s word. We begin to have “the mind of Christ.”

The Lord told us to become as little children because little children will happily obey their parents. God’s commands are really very basic and simple. Our sinful nature and soulish desires rise up and we satisfy them in a sinful, rather than righteous way, of taking up our cross and crucifying these “evil” desires.

Again, desire it self is not evil. Soulish desire is natural. God wants us to discern what is the righteous way of living verses the soulish sinful and self gratification way of living. We are to lay down our lives and wrongful desires at the cross.

As we learn to do this in a spiritual way we will find ourselves becoming stewards of all that God has blessed us with. We no longer want to follow Hasatan’s way of stealing, killing, and destroying in order to satisfy our desires. We are now walking in the spirit and the chances of being deceived by the evil one become neutralized as we abide in Yeshua and follow His commands.


 

Oil Derivatives Explode in Early 2015 - Rob Kirby of KirbyAnalytics.com.

 

 

As we have discussed in the past God is shaking everything that can be shaken. At the moment the war on the oil price is the focus of the financial sector. All markets are not acting in the manner that they should in the context of what would be considered normal. That is because the markets are rigged and manipulated by those in charge.

 

This is the current great deception. All is not as it seems in the financial markets. Everything we see is a manufactured mirage. The powers that be are involved in a dangerous game. They think they can bring down Russia and China by attacking them financially. The reality is that the Russians and Chinese have all the gold.

 

At some point the "house of cards" is going to collapse. This year may be the year the dollar collapses. In any event this is going to be a very dramatic year in the financial markets. It is important to realize all markets are a deception or mirage of which the general public has no understanding. Now is the time to prepare as the Lord leads. Great financial changes and traumatic events are on the horizon. 

 

The following article will help you understand.





Gold and derivatives expert Rob Kirby thinks crashing oil prices are going to lead to a 2008 style financial meltdown. This is not a maybe–a market explosion is going to happen in 2015. Kirby contends, “Oh yes, without a doubt, it will. It must because the income crude oil sales generate are used to pay the interest on the debt. . . . If you have a mortgage payment of $5,000 at the end of the month and you only have $2,500, you have defaulted. That is the position they are in right now. We just need to wait for some coupon dates to come and go because these guys won’t have the money. They don’t have the income.”

Kirby also thinks what is happening with oil prices being cut in half in a matter of months is no accident. Kirby explains, “I look at what is transpiring in the crude oil market as yet another engineered or financial trickery on the part of the financial elites. . . . What this breakdown in the crude oil price is going to spawn another financial crisis. It will be tied to the junk debt that has been issued to finance the shale oil plays in North America. It is reported to be in the area of half a trillion dollars worth of junk debt that is held largely on the books of large financial institutions in the western world.

When these bonds start to fail, they will jeopardize the future of these financial institutions. I do believe that will be the signal for the Fed to come riding to the rescue with QE4. I also think QE4 is likely going to be accompanied by bank bail-ins because we all know all western world countries have adopted bail-in legislation in their most recent budgets. The financial elites are engineering the excuse for their next round of money printing . . . and they will be confiscating money out of savings accounts and pension accounts. That’s what I think is coming in the very near future.”

On the economy getting better and the upward revision to GDP of 5%, Kirby says, “The official data is inconsistent with what you can empirically observe going on in the economy. The economy isn’t doing well, and in addition to the economy not doing well, the U.S. government, for all intent and purposes, is insolvent. Why bonds would be rallying against a backdrop of an issuer that is insolvent is beyond anybody’s fundamental understanding, but fundamentals don’t count anymore in our markets. . . . We don’t have markets anymore; we just have interventions. . . . This financial engineering is all a hallmark of communism or central planning. Central planning has a track record of failing.”

On central banks, Kirby says you need to look beyond the Federal Reserve. Kirby says, “When you are looking at the extension of the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency . . . you need to look at the Fed, the Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank. One or the other has been printing since 2008.

The Fed can say we are not printing for 6 or 8 months, but really, what they have done is pass the baton to the Bank of Japan who has been printing like hounds. They are printing fiendishly. All they have done is picked up where the Fed left off. . . . As sure as God made little green apples, we are going to see in the very near future a made-in-America financial crisis regarding this shale oil junk debt. They are going to use that as an excuse for yet more money printing from the Fed. This is the path we are on, and it will continue to be the path we are on until the whole bloody mess collapses.”

 Europe should prepare for systematic attacks by Islamic State militants in the coming year.

As I suggested in a recent blog that there will be a backlash in Europe toward radical Islam I present this short article from Sputnik News. I cannot say everything in this article is true but it does suggest a coming backlash against radical Islam in Europe is coming.

 

 

MOSCOW, December 30 (Sputnik) — In an interview with Sputnik, well-known French journalist and Middle East intelligence services expert Jean-Michel Vernochet said that he foresees an impending Islamic State group attack on Europe in the very near future.

According to Vernochet, there are some who, in addition to seeking "to transform Europe into the land of Islam," also "want to turn it into the land of war."

"You’ve probably heard about the recent events in France – in Nantes and in Dijon, in the suburbs of large cities," Vernochet recalls. "Police officers attacked by people wielding knives; cars ramming into crowds –in Nantes and in Dijon! Some people were seriously hurt. And more of these incidents keep happening."

The expert notes that while "authorities are attempting to downplay [these incidents] as unrelated outbreaks," in reality "there is a connection. The perpetrators are being portrayed as unstable individuals. Let us assume that they acted on personal motives, as it makes things appear much better.

Obviously they are unstable [individuals], which is why they did all these things, but there are many others who carefully consider their actions, and whose [terror] actions may be much more effective as a result."

"Therefore," Vernochet explains, "Europe cannot consider itself safe, especially considering the fact that France, together with the United Kingdom and Australia (you’ve probably heard of what happened there recently), are members of the US-led coalition of 61 states assembled to fight [IS]."

THE ROOT OF DECEPTION

　

Back in 2009 I began to seek the Lord in earnest about the end times and the true interpretation of His word. I asked two things. The first was to understand the end of the age in the context of the Book Revelation. The second was to learn to understand the truth presented in the Bible. This meant to allow the entire body of scripture interpret itself rather than follow the traditions of men and church.

The Lord told me it was necessary to first understand history as written in the Bible. That took some time as I had to reacquaint myself with the history of the children of Israel from Genesis through 2 Chronicles (including the books of the prophets).

During that process I began to understand the concept of chastisement. I saw it on a national scale in God’s dealings with His rebellious people. Then I began to understand it on a personal level. God works with nations and individuals through chastisement or discipline. He establishes the rules, and we are to follow those rules, or face His discipline.

On a higher level, God has given us His written laws and we, as good citizens, are to follow and obey His those laws. The written Torah is still in force in the world today. It is based on the ten commandments and gives examples of how we are to treat one another in following those commandments. Really quite simple!

As I read, prayed, and meditated on the Torah (first five books of Moses) and the rest of the Bible I began to see how nations and individuals were living lawlessly. A simple concept but I never really thought about it on a national scale. The world is lawless in the context of obeying the commandments written in the Bible. The world is lawless because we as individuals are lawless in context to the Biblical commands. It is incredibly simple!

We all do whatever seems right in our own eyes (Judges 21.25). Take marriage as an example. Modern courtship is practice for divorce. We go window shopping, pick someone we like, try it out for awhile, take it home, and when we get tired of it we go window shopping for another one!

Sometimes we make a mistake and get the someone pregnant. Then we marry some one for the wrong reason--or maybe we just don’t bother to marry so the breakup will be easier later. Before long we have dysfunctional families and relationships. We have totally ignored God’s written way of courting and waiting to get to know someone before committing to marriage. Lawlessness. Each small disobedience leads to dysfunction until we can’t cope with the compounding problems.

When we have our initial “born again” experience the first thing the Lord does is begin to get our disorderly house in order. He leads us back to becoming law abiding citizens of the Kingdom. Being “born again” opens our eyes to our former lawlessness. If it doesn’t then you better get on your knees and start asking God why your life is so out of order and full of problems.

Christians love to say, “We’re not under the law anymore.” That is the first great deception of our enemy Hasatan the adversary. If you believe that you are being deceived and are headed for believing the other deceptions which are coming upon the world.

Yeshua has saved us from the curse of the law. The law merely points out how incapable we are of totally obeying the law. We need a redeemer--a savior from the curse of the law--that law which points out our sinful nature.

The enemy would deceive us into believing we are “not under the law” in order that we continue to sin. Yeshua not only saves us from the curse of the law but He becomes our teacher of the law (Torah). If you are living in sin you are not living in the Kingdom of God.

The deceptions which are coming upon the church and the world are going to be very smooth and fraudulent. Deception is the act or state of deceiving. It is a trick, stratagem, ruse, hoax, subterfuge. It is never what it seems.

The primary deception in this world is that we are not “under the law” and can live anyway we want. After all, we have Jesus and He will forgive us. It is true He will forgive us, but if we are lawless we cannot experience the Kingdom of God in this present life.

If we love Him we will obey His commands (1 John 2.3-5). Yeshua taught the Torah. The sermon on the mount was instruction in Torah. We are to respect and treat one another the way we would like to be treated. There is a right way and a wrong way to live. The WORD of God has complete instructions.

Deception begins with lawlessness and a spirit of lawlessness. In Genesis 3 the serpent asked Eve, “Did God really say you shouldn’t eat the fruit of EVERY tree in the garden?” He twisted the word of God and created doubt in Eve’s mind. He deceived her by appealing to her senses. She saw it was good, pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired.

Eve, having free will, decided to disobey God’s simple command to avoid the one tree. She allowed herself to commit an act of lawlessness in direct conflict with God’s law. She allowed herself to be deceived by Hasatan’s smooth and twisted words. He took God’s command and twisted it.

Eve was not a student of the law. If she was, she would have recognized the deception put before her. She sinned against the creator because she was not sure of what God’s command was. She had not paid attention to what Adam had told her. She had not meditated on God’s word (instruction).

God had made Hasatan the most beautiful and powerful angel in His government. He was a covering cherub over the ark of God (Ezekiel 28). He was perfect in his ways until he decided to become lawless. Just as God has given mankind a free will, so he gave the angels free will. God cannot create robots that simply obey Him. He desires we obey from a heart of love. Therefore he gave his created beings free will to choose.

Hasatan became full of himself and full of rebelliousness towards his creator. He had the highest place in God’s government until he rebelled and became lawless. “I can run this government better then God” he said. I know better than the founder of this company, then my boss, etc, etc. He became lawless and insane with jealousy towards God.

He was cast out of heaven to this earth and has been wreaking havoc ever since. He has deceived the whole world (Rev 12.9) into following his lawless way. Ephesians 6.12 and forward explains that we are in spiritual warfare. He is the prince of the power of the air (Eph 2.2).

Hasatan is a broadcaster. He broadcasts his lawless through the air into our thoughts just like listening to the radio! Just as we are led by the Spirit of God, the world is led by the spirit of the power of the air.

We must protect ourselves from his lies and deceptions by having a thorough understanding of God’s written word. That is the whole body of scriptures--not just the New Testament--the whole body of scripture is for our instruction (2 Tim 3.16). We will then understand what God is broadcasting and discern which broadcast is true.

Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk, desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.

But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine…1 Timothy 1.5-10
The law protects us from criminals and crime. Are we criminals or law abiding citizens of the kingdom? Know and understand the law. This will protect us from deception. The root of deception is lawlessness. Those who are lawless will believe the lie. Those who are lawless will be used and manipulated by the enemy. Romans chapter one is a good place to begin to understand lawlessness. If we insist on sinning God will give us over to sin.

When we read the word we must consider the entire body of scripture before coming to conclusions. We must search for consensus in the word, for confirmation, and example. The church believes in many false doctrines of men. Many of us believe in things that are unscriptural. God wants us to get rid of these traditions of men and follow His ways.

Once you know the truth, the truth will set you free. If you are exposed to truth, and resist and deny that truth, you will become a slave to the lie and the deception. In the days ahead those who walk in power and truth will have allowed the Spirit of Truth, God’s Holy Spirit, gently teach and woo them back to God’s truth. They will shed the traditions of men and walk in God’s truth.

This small end time remnant will not be in it for themselves or for personal glory and recognition. They will be in it because of their great love for God and His truth. They will have allowed themselves to be taught in the disciplined school of the Spirit and will know their God and he will know them. They are called “Overcomers” and have overcome all the sin that besets them. They will have laid down their lives for God’s glory and purposes.

The root of all deception is our lawlessness. Until we fully lay down our lives at His cross and obey Him we are susceptible to deception. In upcoming postings we will discuss and dissect deceptions based on traditions of men and Hasatan’s false broadcasting network. Once you hear the truth you become responsible for what you have heard. Read at your own risk!

　

　

　

　

The Outlook for the New Year 

by Paul Craig Roberts

 

 

The objective of this blog is to understand current world events from a Biblical prophetic perspective. Rather than taking sides, we want to understand world history and current events from this Biblical prophetic perspective. This requires that we not take sides but interpret from a Kingdom of God perspective.

 

Our adversary, Hasatan, is the principle power of the air of this world. He is at war with Yehovah our father. Yeshua is our "captain of salvation" and commander in this battle. These two are one--"echad" in the Hebrew. It means one but in the sense of plurality. If you've seen Yeshua you've seen the father!

 

The deceptions which are coming upon the church and the world are going to be very smooth and fraudulent. Deception is the act or state of deceiving. It is a trick, stratagem, ruse, hoax, subterfuge. It is never what it seems.

 

This article by Dr. Roberts a former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy during the Reagan years explores the current tensions between the United States, Europe, Russia, and China.

As we begin to understand current events we can then begin to see how the adversary is moving in this present age.

 

Future blogs will delve into the spiritual warfare aspects of current events. For now we will focus on the history that is taking place in the now. I'm only posting a portion of the article with the link for the entire article following.

 

 

Today the Russian government no longer has any illusion that Europe is capable of an independent foreign policy. Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated publicly that Russia has learned that diplomacy with Europe is pointless, because European politicians represent Washington’s interest, not Europe’s. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov recently acknowledged that Europe’s Captive Nation status has made it clear to Russia that Russian goodwill gestures are unable to produce diplomatic results.

With Moscow’s delusion shattered that diplomacy with the West can produce peaceful solutions, reality has set in, reinforced by the demonization of Vladimir Putin by Washington and its vassal states. Hillary Clinton called Putin the new Hitler. While Washington incorporates former constituent parts of the Russian and Soviet empires into its own empire and bombs seven countries, Washington claims that Putin is militarily aggressive and intends to reconstitute the Soviet empire. Washington arms the neo-nazi regime Obama established in Ukraine, while erroneously claiming that Putin has invaded and annexed Ukrainian provinces. All of these blatant lies are echoed repeatedly by the Western presstitutes. Not even Hitler had such a compliant media as Washington has.

Every diplomatic effort by Russia has been blocked by Washington and has come to naught. So now Russia has been forced by reality to update its military doctrine. The new doctrine approved on December 26 states that the US and NATO comprise a major military threat to the existence of Russia as a sovereign independent country.

The Russian document cites Washington’s war doctrine of pre-emptive nuclear attack, deployment of anti-ballistic missiles, buildup of NATO forces, and intent to deploy weapons in space as clear indications that Washington is preparing to attack Russia.


Washington’s reckless aggressive policy against Russia has resurrected the nuclear arms race. Russia is developing two new ICBM systems and in 2016 will deploy a weapons system designed to negate the US anti-ballistic missile system. In short, the evil warmongers that rule in Washington have set the world on the path to nuclear armageddon.

The Russian and Chinese governments both understand that their existence is threatened by Washington’s hegemonic ambitions. Larchmonter reports that in order to defeat Washington’s plans to marginalize both countries, the Russian and Chinese governments have decided to unify their economies into one and to conjoin their military commands. Henceforth, Russia and China move together on the economic and military fronts. http://www.mediafire.com/view/08rzue8ffism94t/China-
Russia_Double_Helix.docx 

As the US and EU are conducting economic warfare against Russia, Russia could claim that by wrecking the Russian economy the West has deprived Russia of the ability to repay loans to the European banks. If this does not bring down the thinly capitalized EU banks, Russia can announce that as NATO countries are now officially recognized by Russian war doctrine as an enemy of the Russian state, Russia can no longer support NATO’s aggression against Russia by selling natural gas to NATO members. If the shutdown of much of European industry, rapidly rising rates of unemployment, and bank failures do not result in the dissolution of NATO and thus the end of the threat, the Chinese can act.

The Chinese hold a very large amount of dollar-denominated financial assets. Just as the Federal Reserve’s agents, the bullion banks, dump massive shorts onto the bullion futures markets during periods of little activity in order to drive down the bullion price, China can dump the equivalent in US Treasuries of years of Quantitative Easing in a few minutes.

If the Federal Reserve quickly creates dollars with which to purchase the enormous quantity of Treasuries so that the financial house of cards does not implode, the Chinese can then dump the dollars that they are paid for the bonds in the currency market. Whereas the Federal Reserve can print dollars with which to purchase the Treasuries, the Fed cannot print foreign currencies with which to buy the dollars.

The dollar would collapse, and with it the power of the Hegemon. The war would be over without a shot or missile fired!

Wade E. Taylor: Waiting Upon the Lord

 

Years ago Wade Taylor was led by the Spirit to establish Pinecrest Bible School which I attended in the late 1970's. This was a unique school of the Spirit the likes of which I have not seen since. Our motto was "When the Spirit moves we go along." Sometimes there was no class period as we would worship and praise for that period as the Spirit led. We were all encouraged to spend time alone seeking and waiting on the Lord. The following is Mr. Taylor's teaching on waiting upon the Lord.

I felt this would be a great encouragement as we begin the new year.

 

"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me." Revelation 3:20
The Lord is knocking on the "heart door" of those who are actively desiring to better know Him – those who love His presence and are seeking to commune with Him on a higher level of relationship.

If these qualities are to attract the attention of the Lord so He will begin to knock upon your "heart door," you must first spend quality time with Him by "waiting upon the Lord" in anticipation of His "knocking" upon the door of your spirit. There are two steps in this process of "waiting upon the Lord."

"Blessed is the man that hears Me, watching daily at My gates, waiting at the posts of My doors. For whoso finds Me finds life, and shall obtain favor of the Lord." Proverbs 8:34-35
In the first step, we look toward the gate (door) in worshipful anticipation, waiting for His presence to be manifested to us. When the Lord responds, we can begin to "wait upon Him," acknowledging His presence as being with us, and then actively "cooperate" with Him in whatever way He may lead or direct.

If there was ever a time when we need to be led by the Holy Spirit – our being in the right place, at the right time, with the right word, it is today. We are to be good stewards of this "calling" by keeping ourselves available so we can hear and become a vessel through whom the Lord can speak.

Unless we maintain a sensitivity to hearing His voice, we will miss. Today, as we approach the end of the Church Age, the Lord is increasingly knocking upon the "heart door" of our spirit. He is speaking a "present word" to all who are listening and responding. This is the unity for which He prayed – His voice becoming as the voice of "many waters."

"And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like to the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the breasts with a golden girdle. His head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were as a flame of fire; And His feet like to fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and His voice as the sound of many waters." Revelation 1:13-15
This voice, like the mighty Niagara, is a powerful end-time word that will greatly affect the earth, and all that are therein.

The Testimony of Jesus..."The Lord God has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: He wakens morning by morning, He wakens my ear to hear as the learned. The Lord God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back." Isaiah 50:4-5
The above word is the key to the "preparation" of Jesus for His ministry. It also relates to us as we spend quality time waiting upon the Lord in His presence, in preparation of our place with Him in His end-time purposes. Our having "the tongue of the learned" speaks of the "spirit of prophecy" in which we have become so "at one" with the Lord that our voice has become the expression of His voice.

"...The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." Revelation 19:10
This "testimony" which the Lord desires to express is "imparted" within us through our times of communion with Him, as we "wait upon Him." As He quickens us, His "testimony" (that which He desires to say through us) becomes the "spirit of prophecy" within us.

The "spirit of prophecy" goes beyond the prophetic gifts in function and purpose. The "gift of prophecy" is an enabling that functions through our being yielded. The "spirit of prophecy" flows out through our relationship to the Lord, which enables Him to speak through us.

This abiding prophetic anointing is the result of time spent in the presence of the Lord. As we spend time with Him, we become increasingly more like Him and begin to understand His thoughts and desires – our lives becoming the expression of His life. We will then have the right word, at the right time, to be given in the right place, to the right person.

"He wakens morning by morning." To be "awakened" means that I am lifted above the limitation of my natural sense perception and understanding, into the realm of the supernatural.

When He awakens my spirit, my inner being is alerted – becoming sensitive to His presence. Today, this may require a wind strong enough to knock me off my feet, but tomorrow, I will be a little more sensitive and it will not require as much. And finally, it will take just a little breeze and I will hear, because I have cultivated, or developed the ability to hear.

David had within him a sensitivity, or ability to yield. In spite of his problems, David listened, as he had a heart for the Lord. The Lord had to speak through a donkey to some of the prophets, but to David He could say,

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go; I will guide you with My eye." Psalm 32:8

David had such a relationship with the Lord that he sensed the very presence of the Lord. The Lord did not have to speak words to David for him to hear, or to know the desire of His heart. David knew the heart and the mind of the Lord, because this relationship was cultivated and developed through the years while he was in the fields at night tending the sheep.

"For who has known the mind of the Lord, that we may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ." I Corinthians 2:16
Our mind will be renewed as we "wait upon Him," so our spirit and mind will be progressively brought closer to His mind.

"Be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2).
This transformation is worked out within us as we take time to "wait in His presence." Through this, we come to know the thoughts of God toward us, and we are enabled to walk in His will and His ways.

Our taking time to "wait upon the Lord" also enables the Lord to enlarge our spiritual capacity and to grant us a higher level of spiritual authority, which comes only by our hearing from the Lord, and allowing Him to speak through us. This ability to hear will develop as we learn to wait upon Him. Thus, our times of waiting upon the Lord becomes the "wheel within the wheel" which enables us to respond to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, and to move in His will (Ezekiel 10:1-7).

Moving With Him..."And He goes up into a mountain, and calls to Him whom He would: and they came to Him. And He ordained twelve, that they should be with Him, and that He might send them forth to preach, and to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils." Mark 3:13-15
This is the impetus that empowers us to move "with" Him in the outworking of His will and purposes.

"Come, My beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages. Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give you My loves." Song of Solomon 7:11-12
It is essential to our spiritual health that we spend quality time in His presence, waiting upon Him. Only then, will we have the spiritual energy to face the challenges, testings, and problems of life.

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31
During these times of intimate fellowship, we are brought into a closer union with Him. In the closeness of this communion, we will receive of His life and strength, and along with this, we will come into a deeper understanding of spiritual principles and an unfolding of His Word, which will draw us yet closer.

"...The times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord." Acts 3:19
"Waiting upon the Lord" is the key to a victorious, overcoming life. Throughout the Psalms, whenever David found himself in difficult circumstances, he constantly reminded himself to "wait upon the Lord."

"Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the Lord." Psalm 27:14
It is here in His presence that we will begin to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom. There will be a realignment of our inner being, and our priorities will change from the natural to the spiritual. Our spiritual senses will be energized by His presence and restored to respond to His purposes.

Sowing to the Spirit...As we wait upon the Lord, we will experience a genuine encounter with the Lord. Then wherever we go, the result of this "manifest presence" that we have experienced, will cut through every bondage and fear in those who are witnessing the result of our life being the expression of His life.

During these prolonged times spent in His presence, we are "sowing" to the Spirit – enlarging our capacity to flow with the Holy Spirit. It is always costly to the natural man, but this provides us with the opportunity to overcome.

Many "early morning risings" may seemingly bear no fruit at all, but the continued lifting up of our desire for Him, along with our worship and the obedience of seeking after Him, rather than things, will in time bring forth within us an accumulative effect that will surprisingly produce a profound spiritual result. We will have "become" a prophetic vessel that is available to Him.

These times of "waiting upon the Lord," in His presence, do not produce quick results, but rather, lasting ones. Jesus commanded us to abide in Him, adding that it will cause us to bear "fruit that remains." But, the abiding life – a life that "waits" in God's presence, will produce fruit that will stand in eternity.

"I love them that love Me; and those who seek Me early shall find Me... that I may cause those who love Me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures." Proverbs 8:17, 21
Indeed, the Lord is knocking on the door of our hearts and our lives. He is seeking to enter in. He is seeking a people that will respond to His knock and that will open the door and invite Him in, that they might "wait upon Him."

When I wait on the Lord, I come apart from all activity, and sit quietly in an attitude of worship. I do not use music as that is a distraction to my spiritual hearing. Rather, I sit quietly in an attitude of worship and expectancy, as if looking at a door expecting at any moment that the door will open, and a person will enter (Jesus).

My spiritual strength is renewed as I draw on the life of Jesus that flows out from the throne – NOT abstract power as some teach. We are to seek a person, not power.

I may wait for several minutes or hours, and most often I have felt little or nothing when done – but after my time of waiting, everything that I do is accomplished much better, and I have a glow in my spirit. There is a very noticeable result of the time I spend waiting.

Now I can say with confidence:

"...Let my Beloved come into His garden, and eat His pleasant fruits." Song of Solomon 4:16
