THE DARK HISTORY OF THE EUROPEAN UNION - From the September 2018 Trumpet Print Edition

https://www.thetrumpet.com/17571-the-dark-history-of-the-european-union

You may not agree with the organization that printed this article but they have a Bible oriented prophetic vision of current events unequaled in the "Church" . Truth comes from many unexpected places. I am posting it for your continuing interest in end time events.

Look up the European Union in any textbook and it will say that its origins stem from the European Coal and Steel Community in 1951.

That is correct but limited. The roots of the European Union are far deeper.

The EU’s true origins include centuries-old history that connects the dreams of kaisers, the ambitions of Adolf Hitler, and a vision for Europe that refuses to die.

The history also explains everything you need to know about the EU today.

One of the biggest questions about modern Europe is why does Germany dominate? They have come close to conquering the Continent. Even Germany’s Der Spiegel wrote, in 2015, that “the word ‘reich,’ or empire, may not be entirely out of place” when describing modern Germany. It concluded that “an empire is in play, at least in the economic realm.”

It may sound crass, but Hitler or Kaiser Wilhelm, if they could see the position Germany is in today, would be thrilled. But how did Germany manage it?

Germany leads this European empire because it knows how empires are built. It recently had to build its own empire. At the end of the Napoleonic Wars, in 1814, there was not a nation called Germany. There were 39 German-speaking states. Prussia, one of the largest and most powerful of these states, forged these competing regions into the German Empire—the Second Reich. This method of empire-building set a pattern that Germany tried to follow in both world wars. It is a pattern that has been followed by the European Union. This history proves that the EU is no mere trading agreement. It is a path to a new German empire.

A History of Empire Building

Prussia copied its empire-building from one of the world’s most famous conquerers, Napoleon Bonaparte. But this strategy was not a military one; it was economic.

During the late 18th century, the Holy Roman Empire, located mostly in Germany, consisted of 1,800 customs areas. Transporting goods from the Prussian city of Königsberg (now Kaliningrad) to Cologne in western Germany meant stopping for inspections and tariffs 18 times. This was a massive barrier to trade.

Napoleon smashed this empire and set up a sort of puppet state in the west German states called the Confederation of the Rhine. This confederation reduced tariff barriers within its territory.

After Napoleon fell, many German states tried to form their own customs unions. In 1834, these merged into the Zollverein, a single customs union that included Prussia. It helped Prussia kill two birds with one stone: It unified German states under its leadership and boosted its economy.

The Zollverein harmonized tariffs and it standardized currency based on Prussia’s currency. This made trade across Germany easier, allowed railways to flourish, and unified Germany in an important, everyday, practical way.

The Zollverein did not complete the task of uniting Germany. It took Otto von Bismarck and his masterfully planned wars with outside powers to do that. He finally unified all German-speaking states, besides Austria, by provoking France to invade in 1870. The German states were forced to unite to fight off the French. But the Prussians never forgot the role of the Zollverein in unifying Germany under Prussia.

The Prussian king became the German emperor. The Prussian chancellor, Otto von Bismarck, became the German chancellor. The Prussian capital, Berlin, became the German capital, even though it had not been one of Germany’s historic centers of power. In general, the Prussian ruling class became the German ruling class.

Already, this history—an effort to create a larger state using an economic union—should sound familiar.

Convincing other people to come under your political control is hard. Convincing them to join your economic union is easier. Brand it as a “customs union” or a “tariff reduction zone,” and it sounds much less threatening than “empire.” You can promise prosperity and, in Germany’s case, you can deliver it. But it also paves the road to political dominance. Seven years after the Zollverein formed, German economist Friedrich List wrote, “Economic unity and political unity are twins: One cannot be born without the other following.”

It’s a recipe for empire. Get the divided territories trading freely with each other, block out your rivals, throw in some external threats, and soon you can have a united bloc—under your dominion.

The First Attempt at a European Union

As soon as this newly united Germany tried to take over Europe, it used the recipe again. “We must create a central European economic association through common customs treaties, to include France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Austria-Hungary, Poland and perhaps Italy, Sweden and Norway. This association will not have any common constitutional supreme authority, and all its members will be formally equal …” (emphasis added throughout).

This quote is not from a modern EU summit. It is from 1914, when German Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg laid out his goals for World War i.

They wanted to create a kind of European Union. Before the war, Kaiser Wilhelm ii himself called for a European economic union—which could become a “United States of Europe against America.”

Historian Niall Ferguson wrote that if Germany had won World War i, Europe would “have been transformed into something not wholly unlike the European Union we know today.”

Germany’s war planners believed that if they could force Europe to depend on Germany economically, they would dominate the Continent for generations.

The idea of unifying Europe through an economic union was common among German nationalist academics at the time. For example, in 1890, influential German academic Gustav von Schmoller called for “a central European customs federation” as the only way to save “Europe’s higher, ancient culture” from competition from the United States, Russia and other world powers. This idea became known as Mitteleuropa. Politicians, academics and industrialists regularly held conferences on the subject.

German historian Fritz Fischer documented Germany’s path to war in his seminal work Germany’s Aims in the First World War. He wrote that, prior to the war, Germans had grand aims to defeat Russia, push back the Slavs (whom they saw as racially inferior), and expand the German empire in Central Europe. Once war broke out in August 1914, Germany had to turn those broad ambitions into detailed war aims. Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg did this the month after the war began. His plans were known as the September Program. Creating Mitteleuropa—a long-standing goal encouraged by the German government—now became official policy.

But here is the rest of the quote from Bethmann-Hollweg’s September Program: “[A]ll its members will be formally equal but, in practice, will be under German leadership and must stabilize Germany’s economic dominance over Mitteleuropa.”

Beyond Central Europe, German leaders believed Scandinavia, Italy and the Balkans would join Mitteleuropa under some form of associate membership.

The map of their proposed economic union is very similar to what the EU looks like today.

They were trying to create a new Zollverein, this time covering all of Central Europe. They had already proved that the largest and most powerful unit within an economic bloc would dominate. Prussia had dominated Germany. Now Germany could dominate Europe.

Another Attempt—by Hitler

That attempt at a European Union died, like so many soldiers on Flanders Fields. But soon another attempt began.

As Germany was rising to power once again in the late 1930s and early 1940s, prominent Nazis spoke of a “European family of nations,” or a “European community,” which would experience “rapidly increasing prosperity once national economic barriers are removed.” The term Großraumwirtschaft (large economic area) became a common theme of Nazi propaganda. In 1936, Adolf Hitler told the Reichstag, “The European people represent a family in this world. … It is not very intelligent to imagine that in such a cramped house like that of Europe, a community of people can maintain different legal systems and different concepts of law for very long.”

The Nazis’ vision of the future was actually not a glorified German nation-state but something bigger.

In the summer of 1940, top Nazi Hermann Göring began assembling plans for the “large-scale economic unification of Europe.” The Nazi official steering these plans was former “public enlightenment and propaganda” state secretary Walther Funk, who had become economics minister and president of the German central bank. (He was later tried for war crimes and labeled “the banker of gold teeth” for confiscating gold of all types from Jewish Holocaust victims and melting it down for bullion.) Funk developed Göring’s plan, calling it the “European Economic Community” and outlining its characteristics in a series of papers in 1941. Not even two decades later, in 1957, the eec became the name of what is now the EU.

“That blueprint bore a quite startling resemblance to the eec of the Treaty of Rome, as modified by the Single European Act and the Treaty of Maastricht, foreshadowing the agricultural, industrial and regional policies and trans-European networks advocated by the more fervent Eurocrats,” former EU civil servant Bernard Connolly writes in his 1995 book The Rotten Heart of Europe.

The Nazis also called for a “European currency system” that would operate with fixed exchange rates among certain currencies—until a single currency could be gradually introduced. This is exactly what has happened in the EU.

In 1942, government ministers and leading industrialists attended a conference titled “The European Economic Community.” The same year the German Foreign Ministry created a “Europe committee.” By the next year, they had drafted formal plans for a European confederation. German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop called for it to be set up as soon as the Reich had secured a significant military victory.

That victory never came. And so Nazi plans for an eec never materialized.

The fact that the Nazis planned to form a union of European nations is well established. This summary just scratches the surface. In his book The Tainted Source—the Undemocratic Origins of the European Idea, John Laughland exposes the economic planners, fascist intellectuals and senior politicians who planned this union.

The Nazis, just like earlier generations of German leaders, saw the merits of using economics to help create an empire. In 1940, German Ambassador to France Otto Abetz wrote to Hitler recommending that Germany “usurp the European idea” to try to control Europe in the same way that Hitler had “usurped the idea of peace” before the war. Laughland notes in his book that “a supranational organization could increase—rather than mitigate—the power of its most powerful member.”

A Nazi European Union?

Does this mean that the current European Union is a Nazi plot whose founding fathers are all closet Nazis? No. Many were sincere in their beliefs. Many were motivated by the idea that creating a European Union was the best way to stop another European war. They saw that an economic union was the way to build a superstate in Europe. But they also believed that a superstate would bring peace and contain Germany.

When the modern EU began, Germany was defeated and divided. France believed it would be the most powerful nation, and hence the leader, in a European bloc. So European unification pushed forward.

This project, however, did attract some ex-Nazis because it was so similar to their own idea. After the war, the infamous Oswald Mosley, leader of the British Union of Fascists, became an ardent pro-European. Reich Credit Co. head Dr. Bernhard Benning, who spoke at the 1942 Nazi eec conference on the “European Currency Question,” went on to become a senior figure in the Bundesbank.

The fact that many Nazis went “underground,” remaining in their government or business positions, is now well documented (see our article “Cleansing the German Conscience?”). Many of these individuals continued to support a European Union.

Other EU figures had sympathies toward the Nazis before the war, such as Paul-Henri Spaak, one of the EU’s founding fathers. As a member of the Belgian Workers’ Party before the war, he praised “some of Hitler’s magnificent achievements.” In 1937, he said that “the hour of Belgian national socialism has come.” He urged Belgium to remain neutral rather than join France in a war with Germany.

Some French nationalists hoped that France could now play the role of Prussia in a European superstate. But France’s European leadership role did not last. While the French economy stagnated, Germany reunited, reindustrialized and became the world’s top exporter.

After losing both world wars, the Germans today, remarkably, find themselves having achieved their war aims. The situation, as it stands, is stunningly similar to what Germany planned in World War i and ii. Germany is the most populous and powerful nation in Europe, and the Continent is bound to it through an increasingly tighter economic and political union.

Earlier Roots

There is another important reason the Prussians, Nazis and founders of the EU produced such similar proposals. They shared a dream. They went about it in very different ways, but they wanted to resurrect a European empire—a new Roman Empire.

Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini portrayed himself as a new Caesar, ruling a new Roman Empire. Hitler based his infamous führer salute on the Roman one.

He also reached back to Charlemagne, the Frankish leader who was crowned Roman emperor by Pope Leo iii in a.d. 800. He tried to revive the Roman Empire in Western Europe, uniting all Europe under one power.

Hitler built his famous Eagle’s Nest next to the mountain where, according to legend, Charlemagne is sleeping and will someday rise again. He revered the “crown of Charlemagne,” the symbol of his empire-building.

Napoleon had the same vision, and so did the founders of the European Union. Otto von Habsburg, one of the EU’s founding fathers, said, “We do possess a European symbol which belongs to all nations equally. This is the crown of the Holy Roman Empire, which embodies the tradition of Charlemagne.” When French and German leaders met to hammer out the details of a common currency, they did so in Aachen, Germany, Charlemagne’s capital. They visited Charlemagne’s throne and held a special service in the cathedral where he was buried.

This vision drove the economic plans of both the Nazis and the EU’s founding fathers. “[T]he old medieval dream of a universal empire has never quite left the Germans’ fantasy,” Laughland writes. “This is why modern euro-federalists evoke Charlemagne: The Holy Roman Empire was the very archetype of universal monarchy” (op cit).

The EU’s founding fathers were very different from the Nazis. But they both shared the same dream, which is why their plans are so similar.

European Union in Bible Prophecy

The Bible also describes a vision of a European empire that is repeatedly resurrected. Revelation 17 describes a “beast,” a biblical symbol for a powerful empire. This beast, it says, would be led by “seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come” (verse 10). This means that these kings rule consecutively. At the time this prophecy was revealed, five were gone, one was on the scene, and one more was to come.

The start of Revelation 17 makes clear this beast is led by a woman, which is the biblical symbol for a church.

This prophecy perfectly matches the history of Europe. Europe has seen a succession of empires, all sharing the same vision and all led by a church. Hitler led the sixth of these. The seventh will rise out of the European Union.

This is why this history is critical. These empires in Europe are all connected. By learning about the ones that have come before, we can learn about the empire that is coming next.

The Bible also makes clear that economics plays a huge role in the union. When the seventh empire finally falls, “the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her” because they “were made rich by her” (Revelation 18:11, 15).

The Old Testament often refers to this empire as “Tyre.” This was the greatest trading center of the Middle East at the time that these Bible prophecies were written. Some of the prophecies about Tyre have not yet been fulfilled, because they refer not to this ancient city—but to a future economic empire.

Isaiah 23 describes this modern Tyre forming a “mart of nations” with powers in the East: China and Japan (referred to by their ancient names of Chittim and Tarshish). God calls this modern Tyre “a merchant of the people for many isles” and describes it as doing business with merchants around the world (Ezekiel 27).

But it is not all economics. The Zollverein was not the only factor in uniting Germany. Nationalism was another key force. The Germans felt that even though they were divided into different kingdoms, they were still one people and should form one nation.

Europe lacks the motivation to unify. This is why economic union has only taken it so far. But the Bible informs us of the institution that will provide the sense of common purpose and identity to Europe, performing the role that German nationalism played in the 19th century: It will be the Catholic Church, pictured by the woman in Revelation 17.

In fact, the Catholic Church has helped power all of the past six resurrections of the European dream. This is why the Holy Roman Empire is called “holy.”

And just as Germany needed a crisis to lock in its national union, so too will Europe use a crisis to lock in its empire.

When Prussia united Germany, it changed the world. Suddenly, it had a power that could outcompete Britain economically. It was militarily superior to every nation in Europe. It used its power, it destabilized the world, and it ultimately instigated two world wars.

This history shows that today’s Europe shares the same goal of ultimate unity. This achievement would destabilize the world far more severely than Prussia did. It would create a major competitor to the United States, and to Russia and China.

The Bible confirms this forecast. It prophesies that this will be both an economic and military superpower. And it adds one more crucial detail—one that is truly inspiring when you understand it.

Prophecy shows that this will be the last of these empires to rise in Europe. The Holy Roman Empire has risen repeatedly because God has allowed it to. But He has said that the seventh resurrection will be the last. After this economic, political, military and religious European power rises one last time, it will be destroyed—forever. Europe’s history has unfolded according to a specific plan outlined in your Bible. And God makes clear that this plan has a definite, hope-filled ending—one that is nearly here. He will lead Europe into the prosperity and peace that has eluded it so far.

ISRAEL’S NATION STATE BILL – SOME POINTS TO CONSIDER

BY DAVID HAZONY DIRECTOR OF ISRAEL INNOVATION FUND

These points are from an article Mr. Hazony recently wrote, I have condensed the information.

The Nation State bill reaffirms some of the key ideas that always lay at the heart of the Zionist project, bringing about the correct balance of “Jewish” and “democratic” that has always been the secret sauce that makes Israel work. A closer look at the criticism the bill has engendered will reveal it to be nothing more than prefabricated outrage from Israeli opposition parties, American Jewish liberals, and the usual chorus of anti-Zionists and anti-Semites.

 

It ratifies the Hebrew calendar as the official holiday schedule of the State of Israel and it establishes Independence Day, Memorial Day and Holocaust Remembrance Day as holidays, too. It also reaffirms Israel’s special connection to diaspora Jewry. None of this is new.

 

Among its more talked-about provisions was the clause about the Hebrew language, which for the first time was made into Israel’s sole official language, a status it has shared with Arabic up until now. The law is careful to clarify that the Arabic language will not only be granted “special status,” but also that “this clause does not harm the status given to the Arabic language before this law came into effect.”

 

The primacy of Hebrew in the Jewish State is an obvious matter, and has been since Israel’s inception. It is the language of public discourse, of Knesset deliberations (including speeches of Arab members of Knesset), of the nightly news, of the culture, of the courts, of university classes, and of the laws themselves.

 

Similarly offensive to critics was the clause according to which “The right to exercise national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish people.” This, too, is almost synonymous with the very idea of a Jewish state. What could a right of “national” self-determination to non-Jewish communities inside Israel possibly mean other than ending the Jewish state as such?

 

What democratic country on earth offers national self-determination to twenty percent of its citizens? With few and minor exceptions, the U.S. gives no minorities any such right. In Israel, such a right is something the Jewish majority has never granted and never promised, and never could have or should have, since day one.

 

This clause is not a violation of democratic principle, much less “racist” or “Apartheid,” so long as individual rights continue to be guaranteed. Furthermore, the clarifying clause makes it impossible for the demotion of Arabic to be anything other than symbolic. To turn this into “the end of democracy” is nonsense.

 

Similarly baffling were objections to the law’s determination that “Jerusalem, complete and united, is the capital of Israel.” No doubt, in the context of today’s politics, anything about Jerusalem smells like jumping on the Trump-Bibi bandwagon.

 

Yet there is nothing at all new in it. The hope that some may have of internationalizing the Western Wall or dismantling the sprawling urban neighborhoods of Gilo and Pisgat Ze’ev has never been more than a fantasy.

 

At the same time—and this is crucial—the law does not define Jerusalem’s municipal boundaries, thereby leaving fully open the possibility that, when the geopolitical time is right, major Arab neighborhoods in eastern Jerusalem like Isawiyyeh, Silwan, or Jabel Mukkaber could become part of a future Palestinian State by simply redefining the city’s map.

 

Finally, critics were angered by the bill’s declaration that “Jewish settlement” be “a national value” that the state will continue to promote. Once again, distilling reality from projected fear is crucial here. The word being translated as “settlement” is hityashvut, which to any Israeli ear refers more to the Galilee and the Negev and the history of building new Jewish communities a century ago across the country than it does to the West Bank.

 

Building a Jewish homeland—through sovereignty, through culture, and through settlement—has always been the core purpose of the country. Should it really not appear in its Basic Laws?

 

Nor does anything in the law make Israel unusual for a European-style democracy. France, a country that granted equal rights to all a century before America freed its slaves, nonetheless has a single national language. The United Kingdom has an established church, as well as a hereditary monarchy. Germany will put you in prison if you deny the Holocaust.

 

Even democracies have a right to enshrine in law the things that make them unique. To suggest that Israel alone shouldn’t be allowed to, is self-evidently absurd, and smells a lot more like political noise-making than honest criticism.

 

This law has been in the works at least since the early 2000s, a time when two major forces arose that threatened the Zionist project as it was historically understood. The first was the rise of “post-Zionism,” a small but passionate intellectual-political movement that explicitly repudiated the idea of a “Jewish state” and sought to transform the country into a “state of all its citizens” by stripping it of any connection to Jewish history, peoplehood, or symbolism.

 

The second, more important factor was the “constitutional revolution” led by then-Supreme Court President Aharon Barak, which recognized earlier Basic Laws as having constitutional status, and which culminated in the passing of two new Basic Laws (Basic Law Human Dignity and Liberty, and Basic Law: Freedom of Employment) that established the core rights of Israeli citizens, Jewish or not.

 

The fact is, Israel is both a Jewish state and a liberal democracy, and basic freedoms must be protected for all.

 

The bottom line is that Israel is the Jewish State, and this law tells us what that means, just as other Basic Laws tell us what goes into its democratic foundations. Israel’s Nation state bill reflects the constitutional reality of nearly every European democracy, and European democracy has always been a little different from American democracy.

$$$ MAGIC MONEY $$$ HOW THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT $$$ FOLLOW THE MONEY $$$

But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.  For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 1 Timothy 6.9-10

When the Lord first led me into understanding the financial system of the United States I had no idea of the truths He was going to reveal. Today I will share how the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States operates and the astounding ownership group that use it for their own enrichment.

There are several powerful families that have operated banks in the United States and Great Britain for centuries. We all should recognize the name of the most powerful family of all: Rothschild. This family has been operating for centuries financing the British nation, countless wars, and businesses. Other names in the United States would be the House of J.P. Morgan and Rockefeller. We should also mention Carnegie who was a 20^th Century Steel Magnate.

There are many other names involved in the creation of the Federal Reserve but I’m just going to give the basic details of the Federal Reserve and what it does in this posting. Plus I might ramble for a bit.

The origin of the Federal Reserve System dates back to the Panic of 1907, when snowballing bank runs, prompted by Morgan-generated stories about the insolvency of the Knickerbocker Trust Company, caused the collapse of banks throughout the country. After creating the crisis, Morgan came to the rescue. He dispatched an army of clerks to troubled banks in order to look into their vaults and verify their assets. If the banks were solvent, he sent more clerks with satchels of gold coins, which he imported from Europe, to the banks in order to place them on display, so that depositors would be assured of the safety of their money.

Morgan’s “rescue” measures resulted not only in averting a financial melt-down but also in producing sizeable interest payments on all the loans the House of Morgan provided to the nation’s banks and to Wall Street.

The panic caused Congress to approve the Aldrich-Vreeland Act of 1908, which brought into being the National Monetary Commission. This, too, was a result of orchestration.

This commission then spent several years going back and forth to European banks “investigating” the best solution to solve future banking crisis at a cost of $300,000 to the American taxpayer. They already had a plan--this was just a jaunt for them all.

In November 1910 a group of wealthy industrialists met on Jekyll Island off the coast of Georgia for a “duck shooting party.” The group included Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the National City Bank of New York (a Rockefeller firm in which Morgan was a principal shareholder); Abraham Platt Andrew, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury; Charles D. Norton, president of J. P. Morgan’s First National Bank of New York; Benjamin Strong, president of J. P. Morgan’s Bankers Trust Company; and Paul Warburg.

The gathering was to serve the following purposes: (1) to ensure that the money trust would gain complete control over the nation’s financial resources, (2) to make the money supply elastic in order to reverse the trend of private capital formation and to recapture the industrial loan market, (3) to pool the resources of the nation’s banks into one reserve that would serve to protect a few of them from currency drains and bank runs, and (4) to shift inevitable financial losses from the money trust to the US taxpayers.

The group was told that the bill that they would compose for Congress must avoid any reference to a “central bank,” since several American presidents, including Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, had railed against the establishment of such an entity. At this time in our history America did not have a Central Bank.

It took three more years of wrangling and politicking before the US Congress was cajoled into signing a bill to put the Federal Reserve into action. President Wilson signed the order and the Federal Reserve was created. From this time on the finances of the United States of America would be dictated by private citizen bankers for their own profit.

The Federal Reserve Bank is NOT OPERATED BY THE US GOVERNMENT. IT IS A PRIVATE CABAL RUN BY ELITE BANKING FAMILIES. It would give these bankers complete control of the nation’s financial resources, recapture the industrial loan market, pool the resources of all banks into one reserve, and most importantly shift all the inevitable financial losses onto the US TAXPAYER!              

This is a total breach of the US Constitution. Congress through the US Treasury is supposed to create money backed by gold and silver and determine how to spend it.

Now, the Congress must ask the Federal Reserve Bank for dollars to spend. These dollars are backed up by NOTHING. They are created out of thin air! Press a button and you create millions, billions, and trillions of dollars. These dollars are loaned to the US Government at interest! to be paid back to the cartel that owns and operates the Federal Reserve Bank. How about that?

Since 1913, we the citizens of the United States, are being used to enrich a small but tremendously powerful group of families that have used this power to become what is known as the “deep state.” The Deep State is comprised of men and women chosen by this group of elites, whom are not elected by the people, but are placed in high government positions such as Director of the FBI, CIA, and Department of Defense.

How does this happen? Briefly, this group of elites during the past century, have created foundations, educational boards, scholarships for colleges, and government think tanks such as the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). They control the policies and finances of the USA through these and other dark organizations.

Many individuals, such as Henry Kissinger, were first members of the CFR prior to them being appointed to positions of power by the President. Check out a list of CFR members for the past 60 years and you’ll see them appointed to all areas of our government. Other “members” of this dark organization control industries and the media. It is one large club.

If you control the finances of the country and control the government’s departments you control the President and the entire country. You control ALL foreign policies. You control news, education, etc. Think! This explains the crazy things happening in our country!

When you think of all the crazy things that are occurring in our country be assured most of it is being orchestrated by the hidden elites. It is designed to isolate the US from Europe and the East. This will open the door to new world order.

Just this thought. IF the United States government wanted to stop the flow of drugs into this country do you think that they could? YES, virtually overnight…but it continues. So then, who might be bringing all these drugs into the country? Why? For what purpose? I’ll let you come up with answers—there are many—and they are for a purpose.

Now I must say that we who are numbered in the “Baby Boomer” generation have prospered under the Federal Reserve System, have we not? That is the irony of the whole thing. The reason of course is because since World War 2 the US has been the World Super Power. We have policed the world, we had the power, influence, and control of world finance (World Bank, IMF, BIS)—we subjugated the poor nations through finance and interest payments.

They had to sell the most prized businesses, oil and gas companies, and electrical stations, etc. to these same bankers who ran and controlled companies such as British Petroleum, Monsanto, and an incredible list of cabal run business. Why do you think there is so much anti-Americanism out there? The nations have been plundered by these elites.

The problem with the Federal Reserve is that they can manipulate the economy by creating inflation or deflation. A dollar today is not the dollar of a hundred years ago when a beer cost .05 cents—today it is $6.00.

The wealth the Federal Reserve creates is phony. That is why housing costs and everything else is always going higher. So in reality who benefits? Why the elites who run it benefit. They can manipulate the stock market and make it go higher or lower—then they swoop in and buy cheap. Sell high buy cheap! They create money from NOTHING! And charge interest! What a brilliant scam.

Yes the “Baby Boom” generation has benefited from our favored position after WW 2, but If you don’t recognize that the Party is Over you better wake up!

The elites controlling the system are what the Bible calls “Wicked, Evil, Unjust, and Unfaithful” to name a few. We have no idea of the evil which has been created behind closed doors throughout the history of mankind.

We have lost control of our government and country. What you see happening in every sphere of our society has been  determined, planned, and orchestrated by these elites—and they are both Republicans, Democrats, and Socialists.

They are manipulating our younger generations. They have “dumbed” them down in the educational system and are now using them for their own evil purposes.

The ONE WORLD ORDER is being orchestrated right in plain sight. America as we’ve known her must lose her sovereignty for the new order to take control. This new order will come—it is part of God’s Judgment upon the ungodly.

I forgot to mention, if you study the background of these elites you’ll find they are members of secret societies and are deep into the occult. Who do you think is in control of Hollywood and the music industries? Why are movies and music filled with sex, drugs, violence, and demonic creatures?

We can begin to understand the end times much more clearly once we understand who is in control and what their agenda is. ONE WORLD ORDER. Ha Satan has been working on this agenda since the Tower of Babel. We are getting much closer to the final scene. The WORD OF GOD outlines all that is happening and why. That is why we can understand why all of these things are occurring—we have the word of God to teach us.

This sounds very gloomy and cause for depression---BUT these people are losing control—Yahweh is in control. Yahweh is building His Nation as we have been reading in the previous postings. He has a plan for us.

I pray daily against the unseen evils and I have been encouraged lately. Our God is shaking the nations. He will allow them to create their New World Order—then he will return and establish His Order!

This is why the Bible says Yeshua will rule with a rod of iron. We are occupying until He comes. We are lighting a very dark world. Don’t allow yourself to become discouraged with the present evil. Sometimes it is difficult--but I love Psalm 37—check it out. Our God is in control. Don’t allow your love to grow cold due to lawlessness. Seek Him and His righteousness.

The nations are rebellious and stiff necked. Yeshua will rule and bring peace to this world. Look up, stay calm, and carry on.

ISHMAEL, AMMON, MOAB, AND ESAU (EDOM) THE ARAB NATIONS

Today we will take a brief look at the origin of the Arab nations, their blessings, and relation to Judah/Israel

BIRTH OF ISHMAEL

And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael (God Pays Attention); because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.  And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. Genesis 16.11-12 KJV

Abraham impatiently did not wait for God’s promise of a son with Sarah would result with them birthing a son through Sarah’s handmaid Hagar. This son was named Ishmael (God Pays Attention).

Afterwards Sarah became despised in Hagar’s eyes because she felt that Ishmael should receive the blessing of the first born son of Abraham. Sarah dealt harshly with Hagar and she fled into the desert pregnant with Ishmael.

BLESSING UPON ISHMAEL

The angel of the Lord saw Hagar in the desert and told her to return and submit herself to her mistress Sarah. Then Hagar received this promise and BLESSING UPON ISHMAEL from the angel of the Lord:

And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands. And the angel of the Lord said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude. 

And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.

And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. Genesis 16.9-12

Note the irony that Hagar was instructed to return and submit to her mistress Sarah. The word ISLAM means submit! Until the Arab nations accept their Jewish brothers and submit to their first born status there will be conflict in the Middle East. This has been the history of the conflict.

We also see that Ishmael will be a wild man with his hand against every man. We see this in the terrorist side of Islam.

PROMISE TO ABRAHAM THAT THE COVENANT WOULD BE ESTABLISHED THROUGH ISAAC

And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.

And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.

And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him. And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. Genesis 17.18-22

It is interesting that both Jacob and Ismael before him birthed twelve tribes. God has blessed the Arab nations with great wealth in oil. He also has blessing for them in the future when they recognize that Jacob is the covenant son.

SARAH BANISHES HAGAR AND ISHMAEL

And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking. Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.

And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son. And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman: in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.

And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.

 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs. And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.

And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, “What ailes thee, Hagar? Fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.”

And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt. Genesis 21.9-21

There is a lot of information here. God told Abraham to listen to Sarah and he took Hagar and Ishmael out into the desert and left them with little provision. This seems very cruel. Did Abraham trust God and believe that God would take care of them?

One thing we can say is that this was a father abandoning his son. It is interesting that the religion of ISLAM says that “God has no son.” Could this go all the way back to their father Abraham abandoning them? I think so.

History as we have seen in previous postings plays a large role in personality and identity of individuals and nations. The Arab nations act angry as a man whose father has abandoned them. In Arabic on the wall of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem it says “God has no son.” This is part of their personality.

This word also promises that Ishmael will become a great nation. In reality, their true father God, has not abandoned them. At this time in history they simply do not acknowledge the Son of God Yeshua as the Messiah. They just see Yeshua as a prophet.

The bottom line is that the Hebrew Scriptures were written more than 1500 years before Mohammad started the official religion of ISLAM. God has not forsaken the Arab nations and He has a plan for them. It is very difficult for them to yield or submit to their brother Isaac/Jacob to whom God has established His covenant at this time. Only the second coming of Yeshua will bring peace to these brothers on a large scale.

When both Jew and Arab receive Yeshua into their hearts they can achieve peace in this day. These two half -brothers will someday live in peace but it is still the cause of conflict after thousands of years—all described in the Holy Bible!

ISHMAEL FATHER OF TWELVE TRIBES

Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:

And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah: These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations. Genesis 25.12-16

To be honest it is difficult to track the tribes of Ishmael but certainly Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Yeman, and Oman are connected to Ishmael. I also find it interesting that ISLAM sounds like ISH-LAM.

AMMON AND MOAB CHILDREN BIRTHED THROUGH LOT AND HIS DAUGHTERS INCEST

And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.

 And the firstborn said unto the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth: Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.”

And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yester-night with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day. And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day. Genesis 19.30-38

Ammon today is the capital of Jordan and both Ammon and Moab historically lived in the country now called Jordan. Currently Jordan has a peace treaty with Israel. Egypt, the birth place of Hagar also currently has a peace treaty with Israel. Will these treaties hold up when the next war erupts?

ESAU IS EDOM

Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom. Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite; And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth. And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel; And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan. Genesis 36.1-5

Edom then, is Esau, the twin brother of Jacob. In their life-times Esau and Jacob appear to have reconciled after Jacob returned from Lebanon. Historically, however, afterwards they became bitter enemies.  It appears that Edom is part of present day Jordan. In scripture EDOM is represented as the nations which come against Israel.

THE MOON GOD

So Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Rise yourself, and kill us; for as a man is, so is his strength.” So Gideon arose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescent ornaments that were on their camels’ necks. Judges 8.21 NKJV

Another interesting item is the verse above found in Judges. The Midianites lived in the area now known as Saudi Arabia. In this verse we see that the camels had crescent moon ornaments on their necks.

This of course is the symbol of the nations of Islam. Many say that Christians, Jews, and Moslems worship the same “one God” but that is not truth. Islam is worshipping the ancient Moon God. They also say “God has no son.”

Therefore it is obvious that we Christians worship a different God than Islam does. Jews worship the same God as Christians but they have not accepted Yeshua as their Messiah and cannot come to terms how Yeshua and God are Echad. This word Echad means God is ONE, but in Hebrew it indicates a plurality.

Yeshua said He was equal with the Father, but that the Father was greater than Him. These may seem like small issues but they are the cause of much division. When Yeshua returns all will be put into proper order. It is also interesting that Yahweh has given us His word for instruction which explains all these issues. BUT—only if we allow the Bible to interpret itself and ACCEPT it as truth will we see it.

Having a basic understanding of the above issues should help us to understand the current end time events and conditions in the Middle East. These three religions have clashed throughout history. Much blood has been shed and will continue to be shed until Yeshua comes and establishes the Millennial Kingdom. Men cannot live peacefully together. He will come and teach us.

Finally, it is interesting that the word of God says the following in Leviticus 17.10-14:

And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.

For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes an atonement for the soul. Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourns among you eat blood.

And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunts and catches any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eats it shall be cut off.

Life is in the blood. Only blood can make atonement for the soul. Mankind is always shedding his brother’s blood all the way back to Cain and Abel (Genesis 4.1-15). Our Father God sent His only son to make atonement with His blood for our sins. It is the only way to salvation. Blood must be shed. When will we learn? Not until after the Millennial Kingdom (Revelation 20-22). Our most difficult lesson lies ahead.

The topic of blood in the Bible is very interesting and worth study: http://burningbush647.blogspot.com/2016/08/the-shedding-ofinnocent-blood.html
