THREE STEPS TOWARDS A “NEW WORLD ORDER”
HAITI’S MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE
ONE country that could not afford
to suffer a natural disaster was impoverished and politically fragile
Haiti.
The history of this small
Caribbean nation is a catalog of political and other disasters. In 2008
four tropical storms killed 800 people, left one million of its 9
million population homeless. But the 7.0
earthquake that shook the country on January 12/10, has been
described as a disaster of “biblical proportions.”
Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince,
was devastated; entire villages collapsed. Schools, hospitals, houses,
offices, shops, the cathedral, and the headquarters of the United
Nations mission collapsed in 45 murderous seconds.
Bodies flew through the air and
were crushed under mountains of debris. Human limbs protruded from
destroyed buildings, and muffled cries from trapped victims filled the
thick air. The screams and wails of the injured and mourning were mixed
with prayers and hymns from dazed, disbelieving survivors caked in dust
and blood.
Orphanages, churches, markets,
homes, and government buildings all collapsed. Civil government
virtually ceased to function. Without power, communication was cut off
and rescue efforts were seriously hampered. Bodies piled up, hope ran
out, and help arrived too late to save many victims.
The damage in some areas was even
more dramatic than in the capital. Reports say the scene in Leogane,
about 19km (12 miles) west of Port-au-Prince, was “apocalyptic,” with
thousands left homeless, and almost every building destroyed.
The quake degraded an already
feeble health service by destroying many hospitals and clinics,
including all three aid centres run by Médecins Sans Frontières. The
lack of medicine and facilities, and the scale of the injuries, meant
that many people perished from the lack of timely medical care.
A UN official said aid workers are
dealing with a disaster “like no other” in UN memory because the country
had been “decapitated.”
President René Préval, who was as
stunned and dazed as the people seeking refuge in the streets, said
simply, “It is a catastrophe… the country is like a war zone.”
An estimated 200,000+ people lost
their lives; 250,000 were injured; and 1.5 million were made homeless.
The earthquake that has forever
changed Haiti came as subterranean plates shifted about six miles under
the surface of the earth, along a fault line that had threatened trouble
for centuries. But no one saw a quake of this magnitude coming; it came
like a nightmare.
In truth, it looked as if the
wrath of God had fallen upon Haiti – a nation that is well known for its
history of religious syncretism - mixing elements of various faiths,
including occultic practices. The nation is known for voodoo, sorcery,
and a Catholic tradition that has been greatly influenced by the occult.
Does it mean that God has judged
Haiti? We cannot say that! Rather, we can say that this massive
disaster is one more warning from God – like the tsunamis, quakes,
cyclones, fires, droughts, famines, plagues, super-diseases, asteroid
near-misses, of recent years.
The
increase
of earthquakes
worldwide is certainly a sign of the end of this age. All quakes are
recorded, but most earthquakes occurring today are not reported. It’s
only the major ones that cause severe damage, that are considered
news-worthy.
THE
WORLD IS CONSTANTLY SHAKING
Did you know, on average, the
Earth experiences,
each year,
one earthquake of magnitude 8; ten earthquakes of magnitude 7; and one
hundred earthquakes of magnitude 6. (Geoscience Australia.) And
there are tens of thousands of quakes less than 6.
Charts for the
last 30 days
(17 Dec 09 to 17 Jan
10), reveal there were …
144
“strong” quakes
of magnitude
5+ (including 14 in Haiti region),
14
“major” quakes
of magnitude 6+,
and
2
“massive” quakes
that measured 7
(Haiti - Jan 12) and 7.2
(Solomons - Jan 3.)
A
WARNING
All these earthquakes are a
warning of the
ultimate earthquake
that is scheduled for the Great Tribulation, as the prophecies foretell.
“For the windows above are opened, and the foundations of the earth
shake. The earth is broken asunder, the earth is split through; the
earth is shaken violently. The earth reels to and fro like a drunkard,
and it totters like a shack, for its transgression is heavy upon it.”
(Isaiah 24:18-20)
“Then there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder;
and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man
came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty.
“The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the
nations collapsed. And God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the
cup filled with the wine of His furious wrath and indignation.
And every island fled away, and the mountains could not be found.”
(Revelation 16:18-20
The earthquake in Haiti, like
every other earthly disaster, reminds us that the creation is groaning
under the weight of men’s sin and the consequences of evil.
“For the intense longing of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing
of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not
willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, with the
anticipation that the creation itself also will be set free from its
slavery to corruption into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of
childbirth together until now.” (Romans 8:19-22)
Creation cries out for a New
Creation. The entire cosmos is awaiting the revelation of the Glory of
the coming “Lord of lords.” Amen!
2010.
Haiti seems like a fanfare – a
portent of things to come in 2010. I am not predicting (as I am not a
prophet!), but when you see smoke, and hear loud noises, you know
something is going on. We are living in very crucial times!
My dear reader, before we leave
Haiti, there is one more basic lesson for each one of us. In 45 seconds,
Haiti was destroyed, and within an hour, some 200,000 lives were snuffed
out. Some of those souls were ready to meet the Lord Jesus, their
Saviour. Many were not!
The message is, Be ready, for you
do not know what a day will bring forth. And if you do not know the
salvation that the Lord Jesus has provided for you, you are in great
danger. But you can know His salvation this very day, if you place your
faith in the Saviour.
God’s promise is:
“Whoever will call on the
Name of the Lord (Jesus) will be saved.”
(Romans 10:13)
IN early January, the
www.americanchronicle.com published an analysis, entitled:
2010
WILL
WITNESS THE MOST
DESTRUCTIVE WARS IN MODERN HISTORY
An analysis by Hamid Ghoriafi, a
Middle East journalist, was originally written in Arabic for the
Lebanese Canadian Coordinating Council (LCCC http://www.10452lccc.com),
and it was translated by LCCC Chairman, Elias Bejjani.
The prediction of Hamid Ghoriafi
is that …
2010 will witness
the most destructive wars in modern history (presumably, not including
WW2).
2010 will
determine the fate of Iran and Lebanon for many years.
2010 will observe
a bitter end of Hizb’allah and the destruction of Syria´s missile and
chemical programs.
Ghoriafi’s analytical prediction
may or may not be fulfilled in 2010, but in the light of the prophecies
in Psalm 83, Isaiah 17 and Zechariah 12, his comments on conflicts
involving Iran, Lebanon, Hizb’allah and Syria are not merely interesting
– they are alarming!
PSALM 83:1-8, 17-18
“O God, do not keep silent! Do not be quiet, and do not be still, O God!
For look, Your enemies are roaring; and those who hate You have raised
their heads. They craftily plot against Your people, and conspire
against Your hidden, treasured ones.
“They have said, ‘Come, and let us destroy them as a nation,
that the name of Israel may be remembered no
more.’ For they have
conspired together with one mind; they make a pact against You; the
tents of Edom and the Ishmailites (Arabs); Moab and the Hagarites; Gebal,
Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia (Palestinians) with the inhabitants of Tyre
(Lebanon). Assyria (Iraq) also had joined with them; they have been a
help to the sons of Lot (Jordan). Selah ….
“Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever; yes, let them be humiliated
and perish, that they may know that You, whose Name is YHWH - You
alone are the Most High over all the earth.”
Ghoriafi refers to Israeli experts
who strongly believe that the
Iranian regime could
pre-empt any international military attack against its nuclear program
and start a war against
Israel from Lebanon through Hizb’allah and Palestinian armed militias
allied with Syria in Lebanon.
Such an Iranian act would give
Israel the needed justification to wage an unprecedented destructive war
against both Hizb’allah and Lebanon, totally crippling their
capabilities for many years to come.
The experts predict that Israel
will need from 5 to 6 weeks to totally liquidate and eliminate
Hizb’allah’s leadership, all the military and political teams working
with them, and to dismantle the Lebanese army structure.
The Israeli analysts believe this
time their country will also hit Syrian targets including sites in
Damascus and in North Syria in a bid to eliminate Syria’s chemical and
missile programs. Syria would be hit
massively
if it turns out that Hizb’allah’s long-range missiles that target Tel
Aviv and other Israeli cities, are indeed Syrian-made.
In fact, a report just to hand,
says an Israeli government-financed center has asserted that the
Hizb’allah has planted huge bombs along the border with Israel. And the
bombs are
believed to have been produced in
Iran
and
Syria.
- www.worldtribune.com
ISAIAH 17:1
“The oracle concerning Damascus. Look! Damascus is about to be removed
from being a city, and it will become a heap of ruins.”
As Syria does not figure in the
list of nations allied with Rosh in Ezekiel 38, it is widely believed
that Isaiah 17:1 could be fulfilled before the Tribulation. That is
quite possible, but we
cannot
state that it
must
take place before the
Rapture.
Likewise, as the coalition of
enemies in Psalm 83 do not figure in the Confederation of Rosh (Ez 38);
and as the content of Psalm 83 does not seem to dovetail into the
Russian-led invasion, it is
possible
that Psalm 83 could
also occur before the Tribulation.
Some prophecy teachers see Psalm
83 as already having been partly fulfilled several times – in 1967, 1973
and 1982 – but believe an ultimate fulfilment is still to come.
Zechariah’s prophecy refers to
Judah as “a flaming torch” for the nations around, and this is in the
context of all the nations coming up against Jerusalem for battle. That
is clearly a prophecy regarding the Tribulation.
Some people see the first half of
the Tribulation as a time of peace. But that is not so. The peace
brought about by the 7-year treaty (the rider on the white horse - Rev
6:2) lasts a short time. Then the rider on the red horse takes peace
from the earth - (Rev 6:4)
ZECHARIAH 12:5-6
“Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts, ‘The inhabitants of
Jerusalem are a strong support for us through YHWH of Hosts, their God.’
In that day I will make the leaders of Judah like a burning pot in a
woodpile, and like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume on
the right hand and on the left all the surrounding peoples; and
Jerusalem will be inhabited again on her own sites - in Jerusalem.”
The war that Ghoriafi expects this
year will be severe, but it will
not
be of a world war. He
says:
“Experts estimate the number of
Israeli casualties, as a result of Iranian and Syrian missiles, to be
between 1,000 and 2,000, with 4000 injured. Hizb’allah and Lebanese
losses will be four to five times greater than their casualties of the
2006 war. These losses will be around 8,000 dead and 16,000 wounded.
Many Shiite border villages, as well as towns and cities in the Bekaa
valley and Beirut’s southern suburbs, will be totally destroyed and
cease to exist.
“More than a million Lebanese
would be displaced from their homes, mainly from south Lebanon, the
Bekaa valley and south Beirut suburbs, and they would mostly take refuge
in Syria. The Lebanese economic infrastructure would be destroyed and
transformed into mere ruins. Reconstruction would take many years.
“British defence officials have
affirmed that this grim, intimidating and scary picture predicted by the
Israeli experts for the coming year seems to be very close to the actual
devastating reality that will hit Lebanon in the next war. The
Israelis, as they are advocating worldwide, are solidly determined to
close the Hizb’allah case once and for all, due to the fact that they
wish to eliminate the possibility of any future wars and finally achieve
security on their northern border.”
TURKEY-
ISRAEL
RELATIONS CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE
Turkey was considered to be a
close friend and ally of Israel, an image that officials of the Israeli
Labor Party, headed by Ehud Barak, are still trying to maintain.
A veteran Labor politician says
there is no diplomatic crisis between Israel and Turkey despite the
harsh anti-Israel statements by Erdogan and his ministers since the Gaza
operation a year ago. But
clearly, relations between these nations have drastically deteriorated,
and they will continue to fall lower.
JAN 11/10. Turkey accused Israel
of threatening peace in the region and of using disproportionate force
against Palestinians. PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged Israel to stop
violating Lebanon’s airspace and territorial waters. He also called on
the UN Security Council to put the same pressure on Israel regarding
nuclear arms as it does on Iran.
“We can never remain silent in the
face of Israel’s attitude ... It has disproportionate power and it is
using that at will while refusing to abide by UN resolutions. We can
never accept this picture,” Erdogan said. “These steps threaten global
peace.”
JAN 12/10. Israel has again issued
a stern rebuke to Turkey’s ambassador over a television series which
depicts Israeli intelligence agents as baby-snatchers.
Last October Israel complained
over another Turkish TV series, which depicted Israeli soldiers killing
Palestinians. In one clip, an Israeli soldier shoots dead a smiling
young girl at close range. Israel’s foreign ministry issued a statement
denouncing the series, and Mr Erdogan’s comments, as “anti-Israel.” –
BBC
TURKEY BOOSTS TIES
WITH LEBANON, SYRIA AND IRAN
As Turkey’s relations with Israel
deteriorate, its relations with Israel’s three declared enemies to the
north - Iran, Syria and Lebanon are warming. Last October Erdogan stated
that cooperation with the Syria and Iran is important for peace in the
Middle East.
Lebanese PM Saad Hariri recently
visited Turkey to ratify agreements that would cancel visa requirements
and strengthen defence cooperation between the two nations. Turkey and
Lebanon are signing military agreements for training, weapons and
exchanging expertise.
Then at a joint press conference
with Turkish PM Erdogan,
Hariri declared that
Israel is an enemy of Lebanon.
Turkey’s new military
ties with Lebanon follow recent defence pacts signed with SYRIA and
IRAN. And during a visit by Erdogan to IRAN, Iranian President
Ahmadinejad praised the Turkish PM for his “clear stance against the
Zionist regime.”
TURKEY WARNS LEBANON
OF A POSSIBLE ISRAELI ATTACK
Jan 14/10. Turkish PM Recep
Tayyip Erdogan has warned Lebanese leaders that Israel may be planning
an attack on its northern neighbour. At a meeting in Ankara (Turkey)
with Lebanese PM Saad Hariri and President Michel Suleiman, Erdogan
declared that Israel was endangering world peace by using exaggerated
force against the Palestinians, breaching Lebanon’s air space and waters
and for not revealing the details of its nuclear program. –

RUSSIA, TURKEY SIGN
PACT ON NUCLEAR STATION
Jan 14/10. The warming trend in
Russian-Turkish ties increased as the two nations signed a nuclear
energy cooperation accord. Ankara and Moscow have agreed to build a
nuclear station in Turkey. - worldtribune.com
On the southern front,
reports anticipate another war in Gaza.
PLANS TO REMOVE HAMAS!
Egypt, the PA and the US are said
to be teaming up with Israel in a plan to drive Hamas from power in
Gaza. Saudi Arabia and Jordan should also be in favour of this strategy
as the Iran-backed Hamas entity is a real threat to all of them.
Egypt is already building an iron
wall along its border with Gaza. The wall extends deep under the surface
of the ground in order to block smuggling tunnels, and to prevent
Palestinian entry into the Sinai.
Israel is also building a wall on
long stretches of its border with Egypt that reaches from Gaza to Eilat.
And the US seems determined to
broker a peace agreement this year. To accomplish this, Hamas has to be
taken out of the way so that Mahmoud Abbas can remain the undisputed
leader of the Palestinians. But Obama’s peace plan has no chance of
succeeding while Hamas dominates the Palestinian agenda.
Another danger is that al-Qaida is
building a strong presence in Gaza. This poses not only a national
threat to Egypt, but like the terrorist base developing in Yemen, it
constitutes a growing threat to the security of the whole Middle East.
Some are already calling Gaza the new Yemen.
HAMAS AND EGYPT ON
COLLISION COURSE
In January, Gazan Palestinians
protested against the wall that is being built along its border with
Egypt. The construction of the metal wall is enraging residents of Gaza
and their supporters as it will threaten the Islamist movement’s main
lifeline in Gaza.
Serious unruly clashes broke out
at Rafah between Hamas-controlled mobs and Egyptian security forces.
Some 200 Palestinians hurled stones, and an Egyptian soldier was shot
dead.
These clashes will lead to a
larger conflict between the two entities, says Middle East expert Dr.
Mordechai Kedar. “It is only a matter of time until it happens,” he
says. “These clashes are representative of a larger struggle between
Egypt, a sovereign secular country, and the new state in Gaza, led by a
fundamentalist Islamic organization that wants to place the world under
the kingdom of Allah.
“The Egyptians refuse to let Hamas
continue to dig tunnels under their noses,” Dr. Kedar said.
“Further-more, Hamas’ cooperation with Iran threatens Egypt.”
Egyptian President Mubarak faces a
true dilemma and is afraid of losing power. “On the one hand he needs to
rid Egypt of the hornets’ nest of all those al-Qaeda operatives, but on
the other hand, if his hand gets too heavy on Hamas in Gaza, he exposes
himself to a conflict with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.”
Hamas’ refusal to sign a
reconciliation agreement with its secular Fatah rivals, and to agree to
a prisoner swap with Israel through Cairo’s mediation, now appear to be
endangering its relations with Egypt.
“Egypt decided to build the steel
wall in order to punish Hamas, which irritated Cairo by refusing to sign
the reconciliation agreement,” says Emad Gad of Cairo’s Al-Ahram Centre
for Political and Strategic Studies.
“From now on, Hamas is in a tight
spot. It is under a full blockade; the tunnels used to smuggle funding
from Iran will be shut down and the population will only have the bare
minimum needed to survive,” he adds.
It is doubtful, however, whether
Egypt will completely shut down the tunnels; Cairo’s fear of instability
in Gaza will prevent it from escalating tensions with Hamas. -

ISRAEL’S ‘IRON DOME’ ANTI-MISSILE SYSTEM READY
JAN 2010. Israel’s newest mobile
missile and artillery defence system, Iron Dome, will soon be
deployed in the field. Rafael Advanced Defence Systems, and the Defence
Ministry, has completed the Iron Dome tests. The system is able
to handle a multitude of attacks simultaneously, taking down multiple
incoming rockets and mortar shells in mid-air.
Iron Dome
is designed to defend Israeli towns and cities against short-range
missiles, rockets and artillery such as those fired by the Palestinians
in Gaza and the Hizb’allah terrorists in Lebanon.
Defence Ministry Director Pinchas
Bukhris said that Iron Dome “will alter the political and
security situation of Israel on both the northern and southern fronts.”
The Iron Dome,
the IDF Spokesperson’s Office emphasized, is one part of
an all-enveloping missile defence network. While Iron Dome is
effective against short-range threats, the Israeli systems known as the
Magic Wand and Arrow are designed to counter
medium-to-long-range missile attacks.
2010
-- THE YEAR OF IRAN
Haaretz,
Israel, says: “The year 2010 will be the year of Iran. Granted, we have
said the same thing every year since 2005. But stopping the Iranian
nuclear program will continue to top Israel’s priorities this year.
“The major powers are expected to
announce soon that diplomacy has failed to persuade Tehran to freeze its
nuclear project. And Western intelligence services believe the Iranians
have already accumulated enough enriched uranium to build a nuclear bomb
or two.
If Iran acquired a nuclear
arsenal, the risks are simply too great that it would become a
neighborhood bully, and would provide terrorists with the ultimate
weapon - an atomic bomb.

nuclear installations. I won’t go into details - some of the headlines

COPENHAGEN SUMMIT “A FAILURE”
DEC 12/09. THE EUOBSERVER
comments:
The Copenhagen summit, billed as a
historic meeting about nothing less than saving the planet for human
habitation, ended with a low-key accord that was rejected by poor
nations, described as “disappointing” by EU leaders, and condemned by
NGOs as a “shameful, monumental failure.”
After two years of preparations
and ever grimmer scientific assessments of the state the planet is in,
from its melting ice-caps to acidifying oceans, in the small hours of
Saturday morning (19 December), it all came down to a deal agreed to by
about 25 heads of state and put together outside the UN process by a
clutch of countries led by China, South Africa, India, Brazil and the
US.
The text, which only “recognises”
the need to limit global temperatures to rising no more than 2 degrees
Celsius above pre-industrial levels - but does not require that this
happen - was itself only “recognised” - not approved - by the 193
countries attending the Copenhagen summit.
The accord “sets a goal” of
delivering $100
billion
a year to developing countries to
help them deal with the effects of climate change and to move towards a
low-carbon development path. Poorer nations complained that this was not
nearly enough!
Fredrik Reinfeldt, Sweden’s PM and
holder of the EU’s six-month rotating presidency, admitted the
conclusion to the conference
will not counter global
warming.
European Commission President Jose
Manuel Barroso said the accord was “a positive step but clearly below
our ambitions,” while adding: “I will not hide my disappointment.”
Developing countries were more
scathing. Lumumba Di-Aping, the chief negotiator of the G77 group of
nations called the end product of the conference “the
lowest level of ambition
you can imagine. It’s
nothing short of climate change scepticism in action. It locks countries
into a cycle of poverty for ever.”
Bolivia’s UN ambassador, Pablo
Solon, was furious that the accord had been drafted without the
participation of most of the world’s countries: “This is completely
unacceptable. How can it be that 25 to 30 nations cook up an agreement
that excludes the majority of the 190 nations?” he asked. As the dust
was settling on the conference, some worried that “the north” (developed
world) would only offer climate cash to those countries that signed onto
the accord.
“The US appears to be more
interested in saving face than saving the planet,” said Friends of the
Earth executive director Andy Atkins. “They are now using strong-arm
tactics to bully the developing world into backing a plan that
completely undermines the existing UN process. This summit has been a
complete failure - the climate accord should be sent to the recycling
bin,” he added, referring to the Danish capital as “Brokenhagen.”
COPENHAGEN SHOWS THE NWO MAY BE
LED
BY U.S. & CHINA
The Washington Post
commented:
If the talks that resulted in an
imperfect deal to combat global warming provided anything, it was a
glimpse into a
new world order in
which international diplomacy will increasingly be shaped by the
US
and emerging powers, most
notably China.
Friday’s agreement boiled down to
President Obama and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao personally hammering out
a pact both could live with, even if many other leaders could not.
What Obama heralded as a
“breakthrough” -- after getting India and other rising powers to sign on
-- was decried by some nations as too little, too late. The leaders of
Europe, Japan and other countries at the summit were largely left to
rubber-stamp the deal.
Ever since the concept of a “G2”
was proposed last year, the idea that the US and China together are
going to solve all the world’s problems has been pooh-poohed by both
American and Chinese officials. China hated the notion because it put
too much responsibility on a country that has done very well rising in
the shadows.
“This conference of 193 countries
came down to a conversation between the leaders of those two
superpowers.” China is becoming a major player, albeit reluctantly; the
US, with similar unease, is making room for China at the table of world
leaders.
“We’re not exactly partners, but
we’re much more equals,” said an American leader.
- www.washingtonpost.com
The Coperhagen’s climate agreement
reflected the domestic political realities in Washington and Beijing.
Both nations,
the two biggest emitters of green-house gases,
remain more cautious than,
say, the governments of Europe about establishing a strict set of
international rules to combat global warming. Not coincidentally,
the agreement allows nations to set their
own emission reduction targets and provides no deadline for signing a
binding accord.
UN
HAILS COPENHAGEN DEAL AS
AN
‘ESSENTIAL BEGINNING’
The Telegraph,
UK, made these comments:
The UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon,
welcomed the climate deal in Copenhagen as an “essential beginning”
despite opposition from developing nations.
Delegates finally agreed to
‘recognize’ the US-brokered deal, which was arranged between five key
nations including China and Brazil but which did not secure unanimous
support.
Ban Ki-moon told journalists:
“Finally, we sealed the deal. It may not be everything we hoped for, but
this decision of the Conference of Parties is an essential beginning.”
But he added: “We must transform this into
a legally binding treaty
next year. The
importance will only be recognized when it’s codified into
international law.”
An exhausted Ed Miliband,
Britain’s Environment Secretary, insisted the outcome was not a failure.
He said it was very important that the adoption of the accord drawn up
by leaders would allow
the flow of money to begin.
But he said: “We recognize there could have been more ambition in parts
of this agreement. Therefore
we have got to drive
forward as hard as we can towards both a legally binding treaty
and that ambition.” -

THREE STEPS TOWARDS a
‘NEW WORLD ORDER’
(ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT)
By AARON YEOMAN
PASTOR, SYDNEY AUSTRALIA
WITH ever-increasing speed, the
world heads towards the Biblically predicted One World Government. The
“Mystery of Iniquity” (2 Thes. 2:7) will have its culmination in the
“Man of Sin” (2 Thes. 2:3), the “Anti-Christ” (I John 2:18),who will
attempt to reign as Satan’s regent on earth.
However, the process towards this
zenith of rebellion against the Lord and His Anointed (Psalm 2:1-3) has
included the efforts of unregenerate and callous, influential men
throughout history. An attempted reversal of Babel required the theft of
national sovereignties, especially that of such a large and important
nation as the United States of America.
Two leaders have perhaps
facilitated this betrayal more than many others, President Woodrow
Wilson and President Franklin D. Roosevelt. At present one man, it would
seem, is emulating this historical pattern: President Barack Obama.
PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON
(1913-21)
At the end of his life Wilson
commented, “I am a most unhappy man ... unwittingly I have ruined my
country.” This is a strange comment from a person who had international
renown as a ‘man of peace.’ However, in his lust for political success,
Wilson departed from the high ideals that had marked his earlier life
and became an accomplice of malevolent forces. During his presidency the
sovereignty and financial strength of the United States was hugely
compromised.
With the passing of the
Federal Reserve Act
(1913),
Wilson had overseen the wealth of the nation passing into the hands of
private international financiers. The continuing cycle of increasing
debt, inflation and huge manipulated fluctuations of the American stock
exchange have affected the world till the present day.
This system of a “central bank”
disguises itself as a government institution, yet, in reality, it is an
extremely small and powerful group that loans gigantic amounts from a
reserve that only exists as an accounting transaction. Genuine and
stable wealth, in the form of U.S. Gold reserves, started to be
discretely sold into private hands. Interests on the loans are then paid
by the tax-burdened citizen.
The few with inside knowledge of
these engineered fluctuations can make immense profits at the expense of
the uninformed populous. Great influence through debt could now be
exerted on this formerly democratic nation by a non-elected few.
For many decades, before Wilson’s
presidency, a group of private financiers, wealthy business leaders and
historically powerful family dynasties had been trying to control the
world. Having already been successful in Europe, their network would now
try to control the United States.
After helping him gain the
presidency, the plotters used a number of agents to manipulate Wilson to
do their bidding. Chief among the agents was Colonel Edward Mandel
House, who asserted immense influence on President Wilson. One of his
successes was the introduction of a graduated income tax.
Although it seems a fair system, a
graduated income tax allows the financially powerful to remain so. Those
with great wealth, especially family dynasties with huge inheritances,
can never lose control when more recent wealth creation is hindered by
an increasing percentage of tax.
This system coupled with the
erection of
tax-free foundations for the wealthy families
continued to increase the
power of the financial elite. In theory the foundations were for the
support of philanthropic pursuits but in reality the wealth was used for
deriving advantageous political and investment outcomes for their
founders.
For those amoral and demonically
controlled (some, if not all, were practicing Satanists) few, the evils
of war and financial ruin for the populations of the world were of no
concern in their desire for wealth and power. This is the reason that
President Wilson subsequently entered the United States into the First
World War. It was a complete reversal of his previous ‘isolationist’
policy (1916) on which he had stood for re-election.
The spiritual damage wrought on
this new nation by the war cannot be over-emphasized. Spiritualists
invented the Ouija Board and such was the grief of many families for the
loss of their sons that its use became a widespread phenomenon among the
bereaved, hence opening up the population to the deception of lying
spirits and demonic influence.
With thousands of his countrymen
slain, Wilson attended the Paris Peace conference at Versailles (1919)
with Colonel House and many of the world’s financial elite. At first,
the Germans were confident that with Wilson’s participation, the truth
that they were not the sole protagonists would be recognized. However,
the Germans were given the total responsibility for the First World War
and the following treaty was so harsh it was the major reason for the
Second World War.
This brought about the entry of,
greatly resented, overseas financial speculation into the ruined German
economy (that was subsequently blamed on innocent Jews), and then
lucrative investments in Hitler’s totalitarian regime in its
reconstruction and rearmament stages.
Under Wilson’s presidency, the
first attempt
at World Government
was made in the form of the
League of Nations.
With finance from the Rockefellers, a family business dynasty that also
had tax-free foundations, a large headquarters for the League was built
in Geneva, Switzerland.
Opposition from within the United
States rendered the League a failure. However, the impressive
headquarters was later used for the headquarters of the World Trade
Organization, which is another attempt at World Government that is yet
to reach its full potential for its globalist creators.
In addition, under Wilson’s
presidency, Colonel House finalized the creation of the
Council on Foreign
Relations while in
Paris for the Peace conference. The Council has been described as the
real power behind the United States Government, its members filling a
large proportion of all subsequent government positions. With its sister
institution in the United Kingdom, the C.F.R. facilitates its globalist
policies at all levels, such as the planning of the second Iraq war.
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
(1933-45)
Loved for his “fireside chat”
weekly radio broadcasts and admired for his striving with poliomyelitis,
Franklin Roosevelt was a popular president of his time. Like his
predecessor, Wilson, F.D.R. led the United States into war and allowed
the nation to further become a tool of malevolent forces in their quest
for a one world government.
In his quest for political
success, he was a willing accomplice with corporate power, international
finance and the betrayal of other nations to Soviet aggression. Such
were the manifestations of his administration’s decisions, it would seem
that his life was prematurely brought to an end by those unseen
directors of his presidency.
Roosevelt came from a career
background in finance and government appointments, including Assistant
Secretary of the Navy. In a letter to Colonel Mandel House in 1933,
Roosevelt revealed that he believed
financial interests
controlled the government.
This would seem to indicate that House was highly complicit in his many
controversial decisions. Like Wilson before him, Roosevelt conferred
with many agents of the unelected powers that by then directed the
nation.
As the inheritor of the post Wall
Street Crash American economy, then in the midst of the Great
Depression, Roosevelt acted as a facilitator for corporate speculation.
This was the second phase of this engineered crisis.
Roosevelt proposed a “New Deal”
for Americans suffering high unemployment and economic decline. However
his initiative was actually extremely favorable to corporate monopolies,
to the extent that it has been described as ‘corporate socialism’, and
for reasons of political opposition was never fully implemented.
During Roosevelt’s early
presidency,
the Great Seal of the United States was placed on the one-dollar note
(1933). There is not
one Christian aspect to this seal but much that is occult and demonic,
including, in Latin, the name “New World Order.” This was the
conspirators’ insult and challenge to those who held that the United
States was founded on the principles of religious freedom and Christian
values.
However, the Lord has thwarted
these plans over the last 200 years and will continue to do so until He
allows them to reach their fruition in the Man of Sin during His
Tribulation judgments when the unrepentant guilty will be punished.
Like Wilson before him, Roosevelt
deliberately ignored national opinion and allowed the United States to
enter World War II. With previous naval service, Roosevelt would
possibly have had a clear understanding that, except for two that may
have still been kept secret, all major Japanese warships were modified
earlier designs.
For this reason, the then current
American Navy would have been capable of checking Japanese expansion in
the Pacific. However, Roosevelt deliberately ignored authoritative and
accurate intelligence of a pre-emptive strike on the Hawaiian Pearl
Harbour Naval Base and therefore supplied his globalist backers with the
pretext to enter the war.
At the conference at Casablanca
with Winston Churchill, Roosevelt shocked his fellow allied leader by
declaring Germany would only be offered unconditional terms of
surrender. Churchill’s obvious surprise was actually caught on newsreel
camera!
This decision completely
undermined the genuine and substantial opposition to the war inside
Germany such as those behind Claus Von Stauffenberg. Now the protracted
and highly destructive war sought by his controllers would come to pass
as Roosevelt obeyed the globalists and followed their agenda.
Throughout the war, by a program
called “Lend Lease,” the U.S. built up the Soviet ‘Red Army’ to the
extent that by 1945 it was the world’s largest land force. So many
weapons were supplied that on the Eastern Front the German Army fought
against Soviet army units completely equipped with American tanks.
This allowed the Soviet forces to
race ahead of the armies of the US and Britain to defeat the Germans in
Eastern Europe. It also allowed the Soviets to divert forces to
subjugate liberated nations against the will of their populations. At
the final allied conference at Yalta in the Soviet Union, Roosevelt
officially betrayed Eastern Europe into Soviet enslavement after
building the Red Army into Stalin’s means of conquest. This occurred
even when the atomic bomb was available to check Soviet expansion.
Now, for decades after the war, a
state of nuclear tension between the superpowers would be a continuous
drain on Western economies, building defences for an aggressor that was
actually helped into being. Only recently was the atheistic tyranny of
the Soviet Union over Eastern Europe finally relieved, which will pave
the way for the even greater tyranny of a New World Order ruled by the
Anti-Christ.
Regarding China, U.S. meddling by
the Roosevelt administration ended with Chiang Kai Chek besieged in
Formosa/Taiwan and victory for the Communists. Much of this interference
was enacted outside official government channels, setting a dangerous
precedent for following administrations. Under Roosevelt, the UN came
into being,
an attempted world government
of which Eleanor Roosevelt was a
vocal proponent after her husband’s death. America’s gold reserve
continued to be dissipated during Roosevelt’s presidency.
It is possible that, as
Roosevelt’s presidency had been so profitable to his globalist
controllers, that his failing health could have become a liability
regarding the secrecy of their plans. He died without obvious warning at
Warm Springs, Georgia in 1945 and the usual protocols were not
subsequently followed.
Even the man who perhaps profited
most from Roosevelt, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, exclaimed, “He
didn’t even lie in State!” Roosevelt’s body was quickly cremated, his
casket only holding his ashes for the state funeral, therefore
potentially obliterating any evidence of murder.
PRESIDENT BARACK H. OBAMA.
(2008
- PRESENT
a)
With the election of the first
African-American to the presidency, great hopes were expressed by many
that the world would change for the better.
However, from the policies and
initiatives that have so far been implemented by this president and his
administration, it is evident that
the globalist agenda is
only accelerating.
From the personalities that are influencing President Obama, his foreign
policies, and his handling of the world financial crisis, it is clear
that the ambitions of the moneyed elite will continue to be pursued.
The American people are
continually being betrayed as they follow Leaders whose elected
presidential office is more than ever merely an honorary title.
Described as the greatest
financial crisis since the Great Depression, the 2008-9 situation would
seem to bear many similarities to its historical precursor and has had a
similar outcome. This would mean it was engineered for the increased
power and profit of
the Federal Reserve.
International financiers, through
their secretive organizations, the World Bank and the International
Monetary Fund, have gained great power and influence over many nations
and have created the infrastructure for the planned
‘one world currency.’
As in the U.S., this is being achieved through private central banks
that are disguised as national institutions.
The decision of the Obama
administration to initiate an unprecedented financial bailout of various
banks and insurance companies via the Federal Reserve, has continued to
follow the historical pattern. The wealthy elite has been saved from
their failed investments and financial speculations by using the
population as the guarantor of rescue loans. The average citizen,
however, has been wounded financially and is unable to benefit from the
rescue funds that he or she will ultimately be libel to pay back in the
form of future higher taxation.
Once again the Federal Reserve has
generated great future wealth for its private owners, by supplying the
emergency loan financing from its monopoly charter to print money apart
from any actual underlying finances.
Early in his presidency, President
Obama had a meeting with Al Gore, the highly influential proponent of
the ‘Climate Change Theory.’ Though totally devoid of scientific fact, a
large media propaganda campaign and a money-manipulated scientific
fraternity are facilitating the implementation of this latest ‘new world
order’ initiative.
In concert with the United
Nations, the successor to the failed ‘League of Nations’ and also funded
by Rockefeller money, the target for this falsehood is the sovereignty
and prosperity of Western nations.
Using fear and manipulation,
elected governments will be goaded into accepting manipulation; they
will be goaded into accepting what is actually a global system of
taxation with the attendant undermining of nation states.
‘Climate change’ is the latest
creation of a conspiratorial elite who have continued to work towards a
world dictatorship for over 200 years and in doing so play their part in
the “Mystery of Iniquity.” (2 Thes. 2:7)
In the United States the most
influential individuals within this group are graduates and members of
exclusive fraternities based at Yale University. The members of these
secret societies often obtain pivotal positions in various disciplines
including finance, politics and the corporate world.
From these positions of influence,
they continue to undermine democratically-elected governments via global
treaties and conventions, cross-border corporate influence, trade and
tariff agreements, lobbyists, threats of war, privatisation initiatives
and the manipulation of those indebted to international financiers.
American jobs will continue to be
lost, as in other western nations, because it will aid in the creation
of the planned worldwide socialist dictatorship.
With the new globalist tactic of
‘climate change’, the world has reached an ominous juncture. The theory
is diametrically opposed to the clear teachings of scripture as to the
origin of the Earth and to the promises of God Himself. The theory is in
conflict with the Noachian covenant (Gen 8:22) as to the Lord’s
continued perpetuation of the seasons and it infers that the breathable
atmosphere of Earth is a serendipitous - a pleasant culmination of
factors happening by chance - and not a precisely regulated environment
created and maintained by Divine Will.
As with the invention of nuclear
weapons, in sinful vanity, fallen mankind speculates he can be the
master or destroyer of his own destiny, with regards to a potential
environmental destruction of the planet, in direct contradiction of
God’s prophetic plan for the ages of a continuing Earth as revealed in
His scripture (Rev 20:6).
As has become a usual feature of
recent U.S. governments, the nation of Israel Has become the focus of
political pressure that is plainly not in the nation’s best self
interests. This little country, which is so pivotal in the future plans
of God, continues to attract the attention of politicians worldwide who,
in sinful conceit, repeatedly try to reverse the Lord’s partial
re-gathering of the Jewish race. They will fail.
With repeated use of the
historically false claim of a ‘Palestinian race,’ the Obama
administration undermines future Israeli security with the proposed
neighboring state. This will continue as Israel is not just a factor in
Middle Eastern oil politics today;
her existence is seen
as an impediment to global unity and hence the coming ‘new world order.’
Although some claim that the
United States has been a consistent supporter of Israel, recent changes
to the balance of power in the region show some dramatic reversals.
Saudi Arabia and Egypt have been sold M1 Abrams tanks, weapons far more
potent than the previously Russian sourced equipment in use with Arab
armies, the Egyptians even being supplied an M1 production line!
Although U.S. defence funding for Israel has risen in response, this
increase in the armories of Israel’s traditional enemies is very likely
to cost Israel precious lives in any future conflagration.
As Globalist policies continue to
weaken U.S. employment rates, so markets will be sought for advanced
weaponry, and with it the obvious threat of more foreign policy
compromises.
A future situation, where Israel
has no friendly relations in the World is now not too difficult to
imagine, and this is exactly what is scripturally prophesied to come to
pass during the coming Tribulation.
(Revelation 16:14)
