Why
Our Nation
is in Such a Mess and How to Get Out of IT
(And
Also Great
Britain and Canada)
There are many reasons for our nations demise. Although there are many individual reasons, there is really only one. We have left the ways of the Lord behind and pursued our own faulty paths. We are on a slippery slope of our own making. We have become a nation whose economy and wealth have been based on lies and falsehood, from the government on down. Real money and prosperity has been abandoned and we have been building on a house of cards for almost 100 years now. Our house of cards is now falling down. Jekyll
Island
In 1910 a group of high government and business officials met at Jekyll Island to create the Federal Reserve Bank. "The matter of a uniform discount rate was discussed and settled at Jekyll Island." -Paul M. Warburg 1 On the night of November 22, 1910, a group of newspaper reporters stood disconsolately in the railway station at Hoboken, New Jersey. They had just watched a delegation of the nation's leading financiers leave the station on a secret mission. It would be years before they discovered what that mission was, and even then they would not understand that the history of the United States underwent a drastic change after that night in Hoboken. The delegation had left in a sealed railway car, with blinds drawn, for an undisclosed destination. They were led by Senator Nelson Aldrich, head of the National Monetary Commission. President Theodore Roosevelt had signed into law the bill creating the National Monetary Commission in 1908, The main problem, as Paul Warburg informed his colleagues, was to avoid the name "Central Bank". For that reason, he had decided upon the designation of "Federal Reserve System". This would deceive the people into thinking it was not a central bank. However, the Jekyll Island plan would be a central bank plan, fulfilling the main functions of a central bank; it would be owned by private individuals who would profit from ownership of shares. As a bank of issue, it would control the nation's money and credit. From: Secrets of the Federal Reserve. Eustace Mullins The purpose of the Federal Reserve is to steal money from the unknowing public and place it in the hands of the high and mighty in business and government. Prior to the creation of this entity, money was backed by gold and silver 100%. Currency could only be created if there was something of value backing it up. Now currency could be created and it would be an invisible tax upon the people. The more dollars that were available, the less each one was worth, Only the very first spender of the newly created dollar received goods of full value for it. Once it was in circulation it devalued all of the rest. This may be difficult to understand, but here is how it works explained in a simple manner. It is hard to understand with currency because the numbers are so staggering, in the trillions. But, our example will make it easier. Suppose you had a company that made widgets. You wanted to expand so you sold stock to 10 friends for $100,000 each. Each friend now owned 10% of the company. The company was worth one million dollars. Later you needed more money. So, you printed up ten more stock certificates and also sold them for $100,000 each. This would not be too bad if the company had grown and doubled or tripled in value. The original stockholders would still have their value. But, if the company remained of the same value, now there are 20 shares of stock instead of ten, so each one is only worth $50,000 dollars, not $100,000. So, you have swindled the original buyers of the stock out of half of their value. This is almost exactly what the Federal Reserve does to our dollar every time they fire up the printing press, as they are doing today in 2009 to conjure up trillions of dollars to perform bailouts. For hundreds of years in United States history, a silver dollar was worth one dollar. An ounce of gold was worth it’s market value. It remained almost the same constantly. You could save for a house and know what it would cost to buy it in five years and what you could sell it for in 25 years. The value of money was a near constant. You could plan for the future without inflation being an issue. You did not need to make large amounts of interest on your money just to keep its value even with inflation. There was no inflation to speak of. From the participants of the Jekyll Island meeting, to President F. D. Roosevelt when he outlawed gold ownership for private citizens, to President Nixon when he closed the gold window to other nations, they all thought they were doing some new and creative thing. They were wrong. They were just following in the way of Cain and Nimrod. Cain, according to Jewish tradition was the inventor of a double set of weights and measures for trade. He was the first murderer and the first cheating money changer. Nimrod re-implemented Cain’s crooked system in Babylon after the flood. The great men of this world who think that they are coming up with a new scheme to enrich themselves are merely using one that Satan introduced way back 6000 years ago in the book of Genesis. It may be new to them but it is simply an old scam revisited. Lev. 19:36 Use honest scales and honest weights, an honest ephah and an honest hin. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt. Deut. 25:13 Do not have two differing weights in your bag—one heavy, one light. Deut. 25:15 You must have accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you. Prov. 11:1 The LORD abhors dishonest scales, but accurate weights are his delight. Prov. 20:10 Differing weights and differing measures—the LORD detests them both. Mic. 6:11 Shall I acquit a man with dishonest scales, with a bag of false weights? False weights and false measures equals dishonest trade. The Lord hates it. Governments using fiat currency is just another way to practice dishonest trade. You simply do it after the fact, You give someone money and then devalue it after they have received it. That is what governments are doing when they print currency that cannot be redeemed for gold or silver. No wonder we are under God’s curse. There is not one nation in this world today using honest money. Every nation is using fiat currency and every nation is cheating their citizens and customers with it. It’s not just the United States that is under a curse, it is the whole world. The creation of The Federal Reserve was the first step in forcing us to disobey God’s laws on usury, which is interest. The word usury has come to mean excessive interest in our culture today, but in the bible it means interest period. Ex. 22:25 If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury. Lev. 25:36 Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee. Lev. 25:37 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase. Lev. 25:36 NIV Do not take interest of any kind from him, but fear your God, so that your countryman may continue to live among you. Deut. 23:19 Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury: Deut. 23:20 Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it. Charging of interest to retain the value of ones money only becomes necessary when there is inflation. Let me explain. If inflation is 3% a year then money in the bank must make 5% in order to make a 2% profit. Without inflation a person could lend money at 2% and still make the same amount. This is why inflation and printing of money is bad. It continually forces up the price of all goods and services. Without inflation you can have a stable long term economy. Notice it says in the verses above in Deut 23:20 that it is OK to lend to a foreigner on interest, but not a fellow citizen. Money for housing, food and domestic purchases should forever be lent at 0%. That would keep our economy moving. The money lent would be from the bank depositors who put their money in the bank, no to make a profit, but to keep it safe from thieves. Keeping money in a mattress is dangerous. The house can burn down and destroy it, or thieves can break in and steal it. The purpose of a bank is to protect the money, not to pay interest. There should be special banks that lend to foreigners for a profit. These would be for risk takers who wanted to earn interest but could afford to lose all of their money if something happened. The money lending banks would kind of be like a casino, but of course with much less risk and much less reward also. So, the creation of the Federal Reserve System destroyed honest banking. It caused us to have a “fiat” (unbacked) currency. It caused inflation, making it necessary to collect interest on ones money just to stay even. This was the beginning of our demise as a nation. Satan has deceived our leaders into thinking that this is a good system. Never in history has any paper currency survived when the government was allowed to print as much of it as they wanted or needed. They have all failed, and our dollar will fail also, unless we return to a real money standard soon. Real money is gold or silver. I do not expect us to do that though. What will probably happen is that the dollar will be replaced with a new fiat currency and those in power will succeed in keeping the scam going for a while longer, perhaps another 25 years. Someday it will fall though, and take the United Stated down with it. Paper is simply worth the value of the paper when unbacked by real assets. Someday the chickens will come home to roost and the world will realize that the dollar is worthless and our economic system in the USA will be thrown into great turmoil. In the beginning it was only the citizens who were being defrauded. In 1971 President Richard Nixon completed the job and refused to honor the United States commitment to allow other nations (namely France) to exchange their dollars they received in business trades for gold. Nixon closed the “gold window” and now defrauded not just citizens of their money, but countries and nations also. Lev. 19:13 “ ‘Do not defraud your neighbor or rob him. Hos. 12:7 The merchant uses dishonest scales; he loves to defraud. Mic. 2:2 They covet fields and seize them, and houses, and take them. They defraud a man of his home, a fellowman of his inheritance. Mal. 3:5 “So I will come near to you for judgment. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive aliens of justice, but do not fear me,” says the LORD Almighty. Mark 10:19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.’’” We have become a nation of defrauders, we cheat our citizens, we throw people out of their homes, we steal inheritances, and we cheat other nations by paying them with freshly printed currency. For this we shall and are now all suffering God’s judgment. As people get defrauded out of their hard earned money they get angry and want to defraud someone else. The one who has been cheated wants to cheat someone else in order to get even, or closer to it. The average person, even Christians feel it is OK to cheat on taxes because the government is cheating us. They get to the point where if they can collect some benefit fraudulently, like welfare, disability or unemployment it is OK because we are just getting some of our money back that the government stole. It carries on and on. Soon people are filing frivolous lawsuits to get money, like getting a million dollars for spilling a hot cup of coffee at McDonalds. Soon everyone is practicing deceit, that’s what fiat currency leads to, a nation of thieves, where everyone steals from each other, with no remorse whatsoever. This is exactly what Satan wants. As bad as this is, if we were only doing this one thing wrong and everything else right, we would not be in too bad of shape. At least on a national level maybe the scales would balance a little bit. We haven’t stopped there though. This is just the beginning of us pursuing our own evil ways. Our
Educational
System
Our educational system began with the premise of our founding fathers that if our children could read, they would read the bible and become good, hard working, honest and industrious citizens, a benefit for our nation. This is why children were taught to read, so they could read the bible, and the bible was one of the main textbooks, because often it was one of the only books available, So, as children and adults were learning to read, they were also learning God’s word. What a beautiful system. No wonder our country prospered for two hundred years. No Federal Reserve and everyone who wanted to learn to read would start with the bible, not Dick and Jane. Our educational system is now in almost complete disarray. Much of what is taught is not only useless foolishness, much of it is untrue. Most children today know nothing of our history, our constitution and the bible, which is what they should have learned. Not only is much of what we are teaching in public schools useless, but it is worse than that, It is anti God altogether. I work there, I know. I cannot even begin to describe to you what is happening there, suffice it to say that it is no wonder we are creating a nation of spoiled brats who when they get out into the business world have no conscience and no remorse for stealing from widows and orphans. We have no teaching of personal responsibility, morality or honesty. All of that is out of the window. It is only I, me, mine. Take what you want, get your own way, and to hades with everyone else. That is what we teach, and that is what we get for future citizens. Politicians and business people who steal and rob without any feelings whatsoever, They were never taught that there is an absolute right and wrong and that there is a judgment waiting at the end. The theme of our schools is “get it while you can, by whatever means.” Always get your own way. Even teachers are terrorized by students in some schools. That is because we have made education a right, and not a privilege. Those who come to school and behave in a socially acceptable manner should be allowed to learn. Those who don’t behave should be expelled and find out the hard way that digging ditches with a shovel is hard work. Better to behave and learn reading and math that to work like a dog for little money. Along with our financial woes, our educational system is ruining our nation. Our
Homes
Satan has deceived us and destroyed our homes. He has caused divorce to create a nation of one parent households. This is bad enough for the parents who must try to make ends meet, but it is even worse for the children. They have not just lost 50% of their supervision, but often it has been replaced with something worse, daycare. The daycare facilities are similar to the schools, but worse. The kids learn that adults are supposed to constantly entertain and feed them. They can’t sit still and be quiet for five minutes. They learn to run and yell and scream and be screamed at until someone feeds or entertains them. They learn to be even more selfish than what they have already become in school. Not only are they becoming stupid, lazy and demanding, now they are becoming fat also. Food is the only thing that shuts them up for awhile. It is like giving the dog a bone to chew on to keep him busy while the family eats supper. How can such a nation as this survive when we are doing almost everything wrong? We will not survive unless we change our ways. It will take a miracle of God to right our sinking ship. Two
Full Time
Wage Earning Families
Not only has Satan deceived us in the financial system and in the schools and in bringing up children, he has deceived us in our home financial system. Years ago, in the 1950’s it only took one wage earner to support a household in good fashion. During world war II many women went to work in the factories because the men went off to war. When the men returned, many of the women kept working. This allowed the family to progress faster financially than under the old one wage earner and one stay-at-home parent system. For a time this worked. For two income families from the 1950’s until the 1990’s life was good in a financial sense. Two wage earner families had nice homes, nice cars and bought the latest toys for their kids. Now the situation has changed. What has happened? Real wages, adjusted for inflation stopped going up in the 1980’s. They have actually fallen. Because people could survive with two people working full time, prices went up and wages stayed the same, or went up less than prices. Satan has us in his trap. Now two people must work full time in order to survive. We are slaves, both men and women. Before that only the men were wage slaves, now the women are also and we can’t get out of it. If everyone refused to have two wage earner families wages would have to stay in line with prices. Homes would have to be priced to be able to be sold on the basis of one workers income, one head of household, whether male or female makes no difference. Food and autos and all goods would have to be priced so a head of household could provide for his or her family. But Satan has us in his clutches now. It takes two people working as hard as they can, as much they can, and as long as they can to survive. That’s just to survive, not to get ahead. And woe to the single person or the one wage earner family. They are in dire straights. The greed of the bankers, the government and business has caused prices to rise and wages to fall so that two people working only make what one person should be making. Two people making $12.00 an hour make less than one person making $25.00 an hour. Not only that, but with two people working they must now have two cars, buy more clothes, especially the women, buy more cosmetics, pay for daycare, and on and on the list goes. Stop and think about how much it costs to go to work. What about all the fast food consumed because there is no time to cook? What about the Starbucks coffee and the doughnuts on the way there in the morning. Think about every penny a two wage earner family spends on work related items. Two people making $12.00 an hour have a whole lot less disposable income than one head of household making $25.00 an hour. After the cost of work and daycare is taken into account, we are poorer than when we began. Satan has us on a treadmill now, and he is not letting us off of it easily. We are all in the rat race now, and the rats are winning. God intended that the man would work and support his family. Satan has come in and destroyed the family unit and turned things upside down. We are all wage slaves now. Not only that, it is affecting women’s health in a negative way. All of the stress and diseases that formerly fell mostly on men, are now affecting women also. Strokes, heart attacks, stress related illnesses and more are now women’s fare also. Some may get mad about this section, but God set up the program, not me. He made the man physically stronger so he could work and support his family. Women and children should not have to work like slaves in a Chinese tennis shoe factory in order to eat. This is not God’s plan, this is Satan’s plan, and we have fallen for it, hook, line and sinker. Gen. 3:19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.” 1Tim. 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. Welfare
Satan’s goal is to get us all on the dole! He wants every person in the world to depend on their government for support. Once a person, especially a woman with children gets on welfare it is almost impossible to get off. How can a woman find a job when she is home taking care of the kids? How can she work if she did find one? We would be better off with the old orphanage system, where if you can’t take care of your kids you take them to the orphanage until you get on your feet and are able to provide a home for them. You may think, that’s a terrible thing to say, but think about it. If the government has to provide a home and food and medical care for every single mother with children, how much does that cost? 50 children, 50 homes, 50 heating bills, 50 sets of food stamps, 50 utility bills, 50 health care subsidies, 50 of everything. How much cheaper is it just to provide a place for the kids to live and go to school and have a nurse on staff until the mother can get herself established? You can run an orphanage with about 10 full time employees, and you don’t have to pay for their housing and other bills. Just 10 employees, not fifty homes to support. Many orphanages were also church run or sponsored, taking some of the burden off of the taxpayer. I’m not blasting the single mothers for taking advantage of the system that is in place. It is what we have. But, it is the wrong system. We need a system that allows people to become independent free people. Not government slaves for the rest of their lives. If a woman has three children and is on welfare for 25 years, what kind of job is she going to get at 45 years old with no job skills. Menial labor for minimum wage? All the years that should have been spent working (if she chooses not to marry) have been spent sitting at home. Now the children are all 18 and on their own, what can she do? Our system creates more problems than it solves. She won’t even have time to accrue a decent social security benefit let alone a pension or a well funded 403b. The system, almost like our prison system, will have turned her into a living zombie, dependant on the government for everything. Ex. 22:22 “Do not take advantage of a widow or an orphan. James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. Government
Health Care
In 2009 our new president has as one of his goals to create a national health care system. This seems like a nice thing to do. It sounds good, most people will be all for it. But will it be for the better? We need to go back and look at how the health care problem started in the first place. This may be new to you. It may be a shocking revelation. The government has caused this crisis. Here is how it happened. During and after the great depression many entitlement programs were put into place. Graduated federal income taxes were implemented. As you made more money, you paid more tax. And since the government continued to print more and more counterfeit currency, wages went up and everyone was constantly advancing into higher and higher tax brackets. Social security was also implemented. The employee paid tax out of his check, and the employer was required by law to match that amount and send it in to the Federal Government. Now, employers came up with a bright idea to beat the system. They would provide benefits, like health care insurance for one thing, to entice employees to hire on with their companies and stay with them. Employees did not demand health care from employers, employers created it to avoid taxes. Do you see? If they paid the employee more money, the employee would lose some of it to the government. The more they paid the more he would lose by going into a higher and higher bracket. No only that but the employer would have to also pay social security tax, matching the employees contribution. Later it became even worse when disability, workmens compensation and unemployment taxes were invented. So, employers enticed employees with benefits. It was cheaper than higher wages for the business. It was not the unions that created the idea of benefits as some try to make us believe. So, what happened after that? Formerly when I was young, and someone was sick we called the doctor and he came over and treated the patient, perhaps gave a shot of penicillin and some free samples of other medication and perhaps also wrote a prescription for other medication to be filled at the local pharmacy. The cost, $10.00 to $15.00, and the doctor was the richest man in our neighborhood at that time. He had the biggest home and the newest car. After employer sponsored health insurance was invented things changed. Soon there were no more house calls. Doctors operated out of offices and clinics. You went to them. The standard charge became whatever the maximum amount was that your insurance company would pay. This is why our health care system is in such a mess today. If you go in for an office call the charge is always about $125.00 plus the co-pay. It doesn’t matter if you just go in to pick up a prescription for a medication you are taking for the rest of you life. You may not even see the doctor. The slip may be at the desk for you. This is very close to fraud, but it is an accepted way of doing business. The charge is geared to whatever the insurance company will pay, not how much time, effort and work really went into it. It is the same in government contracts. We have all heard about the $100.00 toilet seats. Let me tell you how that happens. The government sets a price for the maximum it will pay for a toilet seat. Perhaps there is one special model for handicapped people that is $99.99, but normal seats at Home Depot are $9.99. Now, when a contractor is asked to provide 1000 toilet seats to the government they have their billing person find out what is the maximum the government will pay for a toilet seat. The billing person finds out that the maximum is $100.00. So, the contractor buys 1000 seats from the Chinese vendor that home Depot gets them from for $3.00 each and bills the government $100.00 each for them. This is how the system works, and this is how our tax dollars are wasted. I’ve said all that to say this: this is exactly the same thing that happens in the health care industry. If the maximum the insurance company will pay for a hot towel is $30.00, then $30.00 it is. Everything is billed at the maximum, even if the goods or services provided are worth next to nothing. An ACE bandage that can be purchased at Walgreens for $7.00 will be billed for $70.00. If you go into the hospital (God Forbid) review your bill carefully and you will see the fraud. I received bills from physicians who never even talked to me. Never visited me once. It is standard practice for physicians to walk by and sign the chart by your door and get paid from the insurance company, hundreds of dollars, for nothing. I have seen it happen with my own eyes. Seven physicians get paid for one patient, even if only one sees, treats or speaks to the patient. This is how the system works and why doctors get rich. They can make thousands of dollars just by signing charts outside the hospital room doors, all before they report to their own office about 8:30 AM. Some make more signing false charts in one week than most ordinary workers make in a year. Go to the dentist, they will tell you, you can get X-rays, your insurance will cover it again this year. Would you get them if you were paying for them out of your pocket? Would you buy new glasses when your old ones are just fine, if insurance wasn’t paying for it. Medical scammers drum up unnecessary procedures to increase their business and to get payments from insurance companies. What is my point? Socialized medicine will only work if all doctors, nurses and medical employees are employed by the government in clinics and hospitals and their wages are set at a reasonable level, about the same as a plumber for a doctor. If this is not the case then fraud will bankrupt the system. In other words if our president implements an insurance system in which the highest fee for every service is always collected, even if the service is not performed, or is performed but was not necessary, then fraud will bankrupt the system. People who want to work in health care need to be in it because they love people and want to help them. A nurse should be paid like a teacher, and a doctor in the low six figure range, at today’s currency value. Any more than that will bankrupt the system. Remember, every penny that the health care workers are paid must first be taken from the people out of their paychecks. How much more taxes can you afford to pay? Soon the government will have to take our entire check just to make ends meet for Federal bills. In return they will have to give us food stamps, health care and social security. Is that what we want? A totally socialist society where everyones wages are determined by the politicians? That is where we are heading if we don’t stop the downward spiral soon. A socialist system is not necessarily a bad system if everyone is in agreement with it. Where it becomes a really bad system is when the socialist system decides to also control religion, and it will. Before we go on to the next section I want to take the time to explain what is happening in more detail. The purpose for doing this is so that the reader may not come to the conclusion that I am blaming women for all of the problems we are having. It is the men who caused all these problems by creating the situations to exist that cause these problems. Just like the earlier example, the men, evil men, created the Federal Reserve Banking system, which created inflation, which forced women to go to work full time to help feed their families. It was the men who started the process rolling due to their greed and their desire to defraud hard working citizens of their money. The women were simply pawns in the hands of the schemers. What is really happening is that Satan, primarily through greedy men, is setting up a system whereby He, (Satan) controls everyone on the planet. This is known as the Babylonian system, and Satan tried to implement it through Nimrod shortly after the flood. Basically, what Nimrod did is created government controlled money. He controlled all of the money in Babylon and by doing so he controlled almost all of the people. He told the people that it was by their own hard work that they would become rich and successful, not by God’s blessing. Nimrod taught that anyone who served God was a coward and a fool. He convinced them to build a tower so high that God could never again destroy them with a flood. Some also thought that when the tower reached Heaven, they would kill God and take revenge on him for destroying their ancestors. No doubt, it was Satan who inspired Nimrod to such lunacy, and also the people who followed him. Only Abraham and a few others escaped from Babylon. Abraham was thrown into a fiery furnace by Nimrod, but was uninjured and allowed to leave unhindered. Abraham was taught the ways of God by Shem, the son of Noah, and by Noah himself. You can read about all of this in Josephus’ book of Antiquities and in the Book of Jasher, a Jewish historical work mentioned in the Bible. Satan, since the very beginning has desired to be God. He desires to be the leader of this world and desires worship from every person on the planet. He intends to get it by eventually controlling the entire money supply on this planet and forcing everyone to worship him or starve. Satan is using greedy men who do not even realize that they are duped pawns in this game to make this scenario come to pass. Their greed has blinded them to what they are doing, to how they are destroying our nation and the world. Rev. 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: Rev. 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. You may ask, why is God allowing this to happen. The answer is that God will use what Satan is doing for good. He will use it to sort out the people who live in the end times into two groups, those who love God and those who don’t. It was Satan who incited the Jews and the Romans to crucify Jesus Christ, but God used Satan’s evil intentions for good, to make it possible for our salvation. 1Cor. 2:6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 1Cor. 2:7 No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 1Cor. 2:8 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. Neither Satan nor the princes and rulers of this world knew that by murdering Jesus Christ, they would enable our Salvation. Satan now knows that he is defeated, but he wants to take as many people to hell with him as possible. Misery loves company. So, the whole goal of everything negative that is happening is a part of Satan’s plan. He will rule the world through a man that he puts on the throne of the world, a man we call “the Antichrist.” Satan offered it to Jesus, but Jesus refused. Matt. 4:8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. Matt. 4:9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” Matt. 4:10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’’” Matt. 4:11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him. The Antichrist will accept his offer. Satan will receive his worship vicariously, through the Antichrist. By worshipping Antichrist, to receive government benefits and money, one will be in effect worshipping Satan, which is what he has always desired. Rev. 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, Rev. 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: Rev. 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Rev. 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Satan and his Antichrist will have plenty of company in Hell, in the Lake of Fire. Millions, no billions of people will be deceived and accept his mark and his promise of financial security for doing so. I could go on and on and on about how socialism is creeping into our country. The social welfare system gets people hooked on government assistance. Once on it, it is almost impossible for a person to get off of it. They are almost forced to stay in their homes and let the government take care of them for the rest of their lives. The will be right at the front of the line to get their marks so their assistance keeps coming. Beware if you are on welfare, you will have to take the mark of the beast to keep getting it, and that will give you a one way ticket on a rocket sled to hell. Social security too is a Satanic tool. He hooks young unwed mothers with welfare, and old people with social security. Social security recipients will have to take their mark to keep their money coming. Likewise disability payments and unemployment and medicare, and everything that is provided by the government. However, everything provided by the government has first been stolen from it’s citizens, if not in the form of taxes then through inflation caused by the infernal Federal Reserve System. If there was no inflation and taxes were low, and wall street wasn’t full of thieves, a person could prepare for their own retirement. But with our system, it is almost impossible. Even when you do what you are told like a good little puppet and put 10% of all of your income into the stock market, they take it all away before you can retire. The old adage on wall street is that recessions and depressions are when stocks return to their rightful owners. When stocks sell for pennies on the dollar, the rich will buy them back and sell them to the poor people again, over and over and over, stealing the working persons retirement money. The stock market is nothing more than a rigged casino, in which the house always wins. You don’t believe it? Think about this. On a tour a naïve tourist in a horse drawn carriage tour of a great New York harbor heard the tour master say; look over there, there you will see all of rich Wall Street stockbrokers yachts. The naïve tourist asked, yes I see them, but where are the customers yachts? Think about it. Where are the customers yachts? Don’t forget all Military, Federal, State, County, City and civilian government service employees will have to take the mark to keep their jobs. Even the school system employees and state, county and city pensioners. Why, because they all receive funding directly or indirectly from the Federal Government. So you see, Satan already has about 50% or more of the USA’s citizens in his pocket already, having to receive the mark of his Antichrist in the near future to keep receiving their current income. After they all take it (the mark) most of the rest of the population will follow along, like sheep to the slaughter. It is not just in the USA this is happening, it is happening in the entire world. That is why Satan is always against freedom. He wants dictatorships, communism, socialism, any form of government that will put the people under governmental control. People do not realize it but every time they receive a new benefit from the government, they are putting them selves deeper into slavery. In history we have despots, dictators, kings, communists, socialists, democracies, monarchies and on and on. No system is perfect, because all systems are presided over by sinful people. It is hard to find a benevolent dictator. A benevolent dictator or king is actually the best system. It has the fastest response time to problems and you don’t have to support hundreds of congressmen, each with their own personal entourage. But where can you find a benevolent king? Someone who just cares about making the peoples lives better, and not enriching themselves or building monuments to themselves to satisfy their inflated egos? It is almost impossible to find a leader who just wants to make everything better for everyone. One is coming though, and soon. Jesus Christ will be returning to rule and reign from Jerusalem, and he will be that honest and benevolent king who will rule the people with integrity. Before that happens though, things are going to get worse before they get better. So what shall we do? Get a gun and end it all now? That’s not the answer. We have a unique opportunity in history to lay up treasure in Heaven. Jews are going to be getting saved and will need spiritual guidance. (see www.countdownto6000.com/all1.html) Times will get tough and if we are prepared we can help people survive and lay up great treasure. To prepare to survive read www.countdownto6000.com/etsilver1.html. Matt. 10:42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. Matt. 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: Luke 12:33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. You may say, well, I’m not a preacher, I can’t do much. You can do a lot. First of all you can stop stealing, if you are stealing and be a good example for others. You can lay up treasure in heaven by doing nothing, nothing bad that is. My point is that if you are involved in evil, get out of it. Then you will be a good example to someone to whom before you were a bad example. See what Paul says: Eph. 4:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. You can lay up treasure in Heaven just by working and giving to the poor. You don’t have to be a minister to send something on ahead for the day of your death and later the judgment. Rom 14:10-12 …For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written: "As I live, says the LORD, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God." So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. Just begin to follow what God says to do. Follow the ten commandments and read the new testament and do whatever Jesus says to do. If you just do that you will be rich in heaven. Even a beggar was rich compared to the rich man in hell. Luke 16:19 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. Luke 16:20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores Luke 16:21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. Luke 16:22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. Luke 16:23 In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. Luke 16:24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’ Luke 16:25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. Luke 16:26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’ Luke 16:27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father’s house, Luke 16:28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ Luke 16:29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’ Luke 16:30 “ ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ Luke 16:31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’” Jesus came back from the dead, and most don’t listen to him, proving the words of this parable to be true. The point here is that even if you are the poorest person in the world, even a sick beggar, it is better to be saved and on the Lord’s side than to dwell with the wicked in hell. It is better to be a doorkeeper in heaven than the master of hell. Psa. 84:10 … I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. If all you can do is clean the toilets at the church you will be laying up treasure in heaven that will pay dividends throughout eternity. And not dividends that are paid with fiat currency. The streets of heaven are paved with gold. Rev. 21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. I could go on and on and on about the things that are happening in the United States and in the world to bring it under Satan’s dominion in preparation for the end times. But, if you have read this far, I trust that you are way too smart for me to have to tell you about it all. You can read any newspaper, magazine or watch a nightly news program and see it for yourself. All you need to know is this: Anything that gives any government more control over it’s people is of Satan, even if the people vote it in themselves. God is about freedom, especially religious freedom. Satan’s desire to control all of the money is not because he wants money. What he wants is to control the religion of the world and direct worship to himself, by coercion and force if necessary. He asked for worship from Jesus, and didn’t get it. He will demand it from us in order to receive his favors and benefits. Click here to continue to part two:> Getting Out of this Mess |
