14. A copy/summary of the writing was to given as the law in each state revealing to all the nations to be ready for this day.

• The Aramaic word, “pas’shegen” (“copy” or “summary”), is only used thrice in TaNaCh, and all three times are in Megillas Esther (here, 4:8, and 8:13). The Vilna Gaon writes that the plan to kill the Jews was supposed to be secret. Perhaps the word, too, is supposed to indicate this secrecy with its obscurity.
• The Midrash (Esther Rabbah 7:13) writes that, as soon as Mordechai learned of the decree, he saw three schoolchildren, and he asked them what they were learning. Somehow, it seems, what schoolchildren learn somehow indicates what is going on in the world. The first child quoted a verse from Mishlei (3:25) “Do not fear sudden terror or the darkness of the wicked when it comes.” The second student quoted a verse from Yeshaya (8:10) “Advise together and nothing, speak a word and it will not occur, because G-d is with us.” The third student quoted another verse from Yeshaya (46:4) “Until your old age, I am He. Until your hoary age, I remain. I made and I hear. I carry and I deliver.”¹ Upon hearing this, Mordechai felt great joy. This Midrash teaches that, as long as the Jewish people are learning, they can still be saved – especially the Torah of schoolchildren (Talmud, Shabbos 119b).
• The Maharal explains that the greatest impediments for evil people are righteous people, H-Shem, and their own evil. Based on this, these three verses reference these three groups. The first verse concerns righteous people because the righteous do not fear anything besides H-Shem. The second verse concerns H-Shem because people in the verse are already conspiring together, and the only thing stopping their evil is that “G-d is with us.” The third verse is related to the evil person befuddling him/ herself because evil people are under the impression that they are in charge of their destinies.
• Perhaps “pas’shegen” is used thrice in Megillas Esther to show that three principle actors will undermine Haman’s plan – the righteous Mordechai and Esther, the Holy One, Blessed Be He, and even Haman, himself.
• Based on the translation of “pas’shegen” as “copy,” Class Participant CRL suggested that perhaps there was a copy of Haman’s decree in Heaven indicating H-Shem’s approval of the threat on Jewish survival.
• The gematria of the word “pas’shegen” (80+400+300+3+50=833) is equal to “hishavtanu” (“that we swore”) (5+300+2+400+50+6=833) (Yehoshua 2:17). Also, with the principle of im hakollel (see #47 above and footnote there) its gematria is equivalent to “mishbetzos” (“settings”) (40+300+2+90+400=832), used in the manufacture of the priestly garb of the Kohen (Shemos 28:13). Perhaps this alludes to the reason for the threat on Jewish existence at this time (Talmud, Megillah 12a). The swearing may allude to the bowing to Nevuchadnetzer’s idol in swearing allegiance to him. The settings may be a reference to the party because the clothing of the Kohen is what Achashverosh wore at his feast.
• The gematria of “pas’shegen” is also the same as the entire verse regarding Noach’s drunken debasement (Bereishis 9:20), which has obvious parallels to the Purim story.

4. “And the young woman who is good in the king’s eyes will rule under/ instead of Vashti.” And the matter was good in the eyes of the king, and he did so.

• According to Rabbi Eliezer Ashkenazi, the advisers stress that the new queen would be lesser in stature from Vashti. This would benefit the king, as he may have felt somewhat inferior to Vashti, having come into royalty from common stock (as we said in previous blogs), whereas Vashti was born into royalty (as we also said in previous blogs).
• Indeed, as the Yalkut Shimoni (Esther 2) points out, Achashverosh found a woman who was indeed “good in the king’s eyes,” – Esther being good in the eyes of the King of Kings.

13. And the king said to the wise men who know the times – since such is the way of the king before all those who know knowledge and justice.

• According to the Talmud (Megillah 12b), the wise men whom the king approached after being insulted by his wife were none other than the Jewish Sages. The idea that they “know the times” means that our Sages are in control of the times and can have a hand in the calendar by, for instance, adding a thirteenth month (Adar Sheini) by declaring a leap year when necessary to balance the lunar months with the solar seasons (see Talmud, Sanhedrin 11b). Relevant to Tu B’Shvat this week, in the laws of orlah, a tree’s fruit cannot be eaten during the first three years of its life (Vayikra 19:23). The Sages’ ability to mandate a thirteenth month forces a farmer to wait an entire month longer for a tree to turn three years-old. We allude to this rabbinic power in our prayers. In the Musaf prayer of Shabbos (a day which cannot be set by the Sages) we say, “Blessed are You, H-Shem, Who sanctified the Shabbos,” whereas in the Musaf prayer of a Yom Tov (a day which can be set by the Sages) we say “Blessed are You, H-Shem, Who sanctified Israel and the times,” alluding to the fact that Israel can affect the calendar. Both the Ibn Ezra and Rav Dovid Feinstein add that, on a more mystical plane, the Sages were equally aware of astrology and which times have which spiritual energies (and how best to use these) as learned from Sefer Yetzira (Chapter 5).¹
• Rav Yehonoson Eibshutz writes that Achashverosh was hoping that the Sages, knowing these spiritual times as they do, would find that Vashti’s mazal (cosmic, spiritual influence) would allow her to live.
• On a practical level, the Ben Ish Chai writes that the Sages could find ways to excuse any crime. For reasons too complex to explain here², they were trained to do so because a unanimous decision would expatiate a perpetrator. In order to find a way to discredit a given exhibit of evidence, the Sages needed to then be completely aware of situations to best judge them.
• As the Malbim writes, the Sages knew best how to apply laws to situations. The Maharal adds that a Sage, a righteous person by definition, always knows how to act under a given situation.
• According to the Talmud (ibid.) the Sages found a way to not give advice because they realized that they were in a bind, a Catch-22. On the one hand, telling him to kill her as is expected of an insulted monarch may backfire and cause more Jew-hatred. On the other hand, sparing her meant subjecting Jewish women to untold humiliation under Vashti’s evil hands. To get out of having to give advice in this matter, the Sages simply pointed out that they could not judge capital cases ever since the Temple was destroyed. Rabbi Moshe Meir Weiss reminds us that one of the recurring themes of Megillas Esther is mida kineged mida, measure for measure. Here, Vashti’s halting the rebuilding of the Beis Hamikdash effectively ended her own life. Had there been a Temple, and it accompanying Sanhedrin, the Sages would have been able to pardon her.

10. On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was like it was gratified¹ with wine, he said to Mehuman, Biz’sa, Charvonah, Bigsa, and Avgasa, Zeysar, and Charkas – seven chamberlains who serve before the face of King Achashverosh –

• Since the verse does not specify for what “the seventh” is a modifier, the Talmud (Megillah 12b) answers that this day was Shabbos, the Sabbath. The Sages famously continue there to contrast the drinking of idolaters to that of Jews. Whereas drunken idolaters discuss immodest topics in their stupor, Jews drinking at the Shabbos table tend to discuss Torah topics and sing praises to their Creator. In Rashi’s choosing to interpret this day as Shabbos as the “pashut p’shat” (simple understanding) he usually prefers in his commentary, we must wonder why just seeing this as a seventh day of the party is not so simple. One consideration brought up by the Torah Temimah is the article “the” which typically implies a specific occasion with which the reader is supposed to be familiar.
• Rav Dovid Feinstein again reminds us here (as we’ve seen before) that Achashverosh was imitating the creation of earth, and therefore began his party on the first day of the week, with the intent of it ending on Shabbos.
• Rabbi Eliezer Ashkenazi notes that the verse uncharacteristically does not begin with “vayehee” (“and it was”). Perhaps this is because, as noted above (see our first blog posting), such a statement would indicate a negative event occurring, and Vashti’s upcoming death, on the contrary, was the spark from which the Jews’ salvation began.

1Although “tov” is typically translated as “good,” in context here, it seems more appropriate to translate it “gratifying.”

9. And also Vashti the Queen made a feast of women in the royal house which is Achashverosh the King’s.

• Vashti’s party was a mirror of her husband’s. According to the Midrash (Esther Rabba 3:9), she also wore the clothing of the Kohen Gadol, and also served foods and drinks to satisfy her guests.
• The Maharal (Ohr Chadash) points out that she served drinks in the quantities that women enjoy. In this regard, it is interesting to note that the gematria of Vashti (716) is equivalent to (and even has the same letters as) “vayesht” (Bireishis 9:21), a verb for drinking, and the gematria of Achashverosh (821) is equivalent to “vihishkisa” (Bamidbar 20:8), another verb with a synonymous meaning.

        I am not able [aside from bypassing the laws of nature] to satisfy all my creations simultaneously. And yet you seek to do according to the wants of [every] man and man?! It happens in the world that two men seek to marry the same woman. Can she marry both? Either this one or that one! Also, two ships can be docked with one hoping for a northern wind, and the other waiting for a southern wind. Can one wind satisfactorily carry them both? Either this one or that one!

In other words, the Maharal continues, trying to satisfy everyone at the feast was another attempt by Achashverosh to usurp H-Shem’s Kingship by doing something even He does not do – satisfy everyone simultaneously. Perhaps, since nature is set up in a way as to make it impossible to satisfy “each person,” the Talmud needs to learn “man and man” as specific groups, or even persons, who could theoretically be satisfied at the same time.

“Our fight is to ensure the scuttling of further Christian-Hindu / Jain / Sikh dialogue that serves no native interest and can only end in Hindu disempowerment. Christians like Reverend Clooney are driven by the mission to convert the world, especially a resisting pagan civilisation like India’s. Hindus have no worldwide spiritual-cum-political mission of conquest and must remain focused on resisting missionary activity. Hindus have no reason to engage in inter-faith dialogue, which is a futile and destructive activity from their point of view.” - 

Christianity being a millenarian ideology aims at world dominion, at least since the time it established its headquarters in Rome in the early centuries after Christ. Former Canadian Protestant and now a Smarta Dashnami sanyasi, Swami Devananda Saraswati alias Ishwar Sharan, perceptively deems it to be a continuation of the Roman Empire under another name. Not too long ago, late Pope John Paul II asserted that the current mission of the Church was to spread Christianity in Asia in the third millennium, having conquered Europe in the first millennium and the Americas in the second.

With Australia already a White Christian majority continent, and Africa largely converted and badly brutalized, and the entire Muslim world under the White Man’s heel, India remains one of the few major civilisational hurdles left to conquer. It is no coincidence that India is a necessary staging post for any military action against China and Russia!

It follows that Hindus in India will be making a grievous mistake if they buy into a motivated propaganda that the Church is not interested in converting the Hindu pagans and harvesting their souls, and rather cares for a genuine inter-faith dialogue in order to understand the Hindu dharmic spectrum better. Nothing could be further from the truth. What is undeniable is that as much of South East Asia has been christianised, India alone among major nations remains largely unconverted, and her living civilisation poses a constant challenge to the descendants of St. Peter.

India has hitherto withstood the missionary assault because of the devotion of the ordinary citizen, especially the denizens of villages and tribal hamlets, to their ancestral faith as represented by the grama devatas, kula devatas and sthana devatas who form a protective shield around their devotees and save them from harm. Then, there are the great gods in the larger temples and peeths and pilgrimages which gird the whole country in a protective grid, along with the spiritual strength and leadership of the traditional acharyas, gurus, mathams, and so on.

But the danger is by no means over and may be said to have increased in the light of new invasive techniques constantly put out by the church, massive funding by western Christian nations using conversions to control the populations in former colonies, and the recruitment of willing accomplices from the target nations and societies in order to make inroads therein.

There is also, thanks to the complicity of the secular state, much missionary-driven violence in remote tribal areas, such as the north-eastern and eastern India (an issue we shall not dwell upon in this article).

The church has always moved in a planned manner. In 1539, the Society of Jesus was set up by St. Ignatius of Loyola to establish Catholicism all over the world, by any means. Hindu India suffered the Goa Inquisition (1560) under the auspices of St. Francis Xavier. The latter was a founding member of the Jesuit order and initiator of the Inquisition in 1545. Italian Jesuit priest Roberto de Nobili, the first Jesuit to come to India, arrived in Goa in 1605 and then settled down in Tamil Nadu in 1606. He claimed to be a scholar of Tamil and openly raged against Hindu paganism.

In recent years, the Vatican has sent the high-ranking Cardinal Jean-Louis Pierre Tauran, president of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, to India to engage with various Hindu religious leaders and sectarian denominations. The idea, of course, is to find the chinks in the Hindu armour and pierce the Hindu resistance to conversions (see articles by Thamizhchelvan, links below).

On the intellectual plane, contemporary Jesuits are attempting to woo the Hindu elite in India and those of western nationality, as part of a refinement of strategy. Their favourite method today is a process known as Inculturation (see Thamizhchelvan), which is really the innovation of Roberto de Nobili; it involves borrowing native cultural habits and practices and insinuating oneself into the local culture, with the ultimate aim of swallowing it whole at a future date. As an example, De Nobili would wear saffron robes instead of white and use Hindu words to describe Christian rituals, etc.

But the cutting edge of missionary activity today is the Hindu-Christian dialogue. This is essentially just a variant of Interreligious Dialogue, but its purpose is inexplicable from the Hindu point of view. (The word Hindu is being used as a generic term for native-born faiths such as Jain and Sikh dharma).

An important corollary of this exchange is the remarkably high standard of scholarship that Jesuits maintain in their own faith as also in rival traditions. This is precisely what makes the dialogue extremely unequal and unproductive for Hindus as the leaders who participate in the exchanges may have a mastery over their own religious texts, but completely lack an understanding of the Church as a political entity with a political agenda. Hence they are unable to proffer arguments regarding the illegitimacy of conversions and world dominion by a single faith. They are also innocent of the synergy between the Vatican-Protestant Churches and the Western Christian neo-colonial agenda unravelling in many parts of the globe today.

Rev. Francis Xavier Clooney, currently professor at the Harvard Divinity School, is a highly accomplished Jesuit scholar of comparative religion; he has successfully disarmed a number of Hindus in India and America with his knowledge of Tamil and the bhakti tradition of Tamil Hindus. Of course, his priority is the conversion of pagan Hindus to Catholicism. To this end, he has steeped himself in the process of inculturation and drawn many intellectual Hindus into his interfaith orbit.

Speaking to a small audience at the premises of an American university late last year, Dr. Clooney displayed considerable intellectual finesse, stating that in the past Swami Dayananda Saraswati and Swami Vivekananda had attempted a critical look at the West from a Hindu perspective, but post-colonial authors like Ram Swarup and Sita Ram Goel had politicized the Hindu Christian relationship. In other words, he skillfully denigrated authentic Hindu scholars who made resistance to Christian conversions the keynote of their scholarship! His (Hindu) audience did not demur.

In essence, Dr Clooney was asserting the ‘right’ to validate or delegitimize Hindu scholars who critiqued the Church – he approved those who posed no threat and sought cooption into the West-dominated world order, and demonized those whose intellectual armour was more acute. By inference he claimed the right to undermine Hindu nationalism on Hindu bhumi and among Hindus who are now the citizens of western countries, mainly America. That this critical point went uncontested – perhaps was not even understood – by his co-panelists and audience underlines the writer’s contention that Hindus have no intellectual, political or strategic advantage to derive from inter-faith dialogue, and need not engage in it.

Dr. Vijaya Rajiva, a political philosopher who has taught at a Canadian university, believes that there is no merit in dialogue that does not have the ultimate goal of vanquishing the opponent. The ancient Hindu intellectual / spiritual tool of purva paksha, for instance, involves a rigorous and unflinching critique the opponent, and was used by Adi Sankara to defeat, and not to accommodate, the enemy. This is a three-fold process, Dr Rajiva says, wherein the philosopher outlines the adversary’s position; strongly refutes the adversary’s position; and finally, states his own position.

Adi Sankara’s digvijaya tour of India, she points out, repudiated the Mimamsa School and Buddhism, and led to the creation of Advaita Vedanta; it ensured the survival and continuation of Hinduism in India.

Contemporary Hindu scholars possibly lack this skill, and the traditional acharyas do not utilize their knowledge to teach bhaktas how to decimate the enemies of the Hindu tradition. The globe-trotting sanyasis with White disciples are unduly accommodating of Christianity, beginning with the famous Yogananda Paramhamsa; they are also uncommonly harsh with Hindus who complain of the dangers of conversion and even malign them in various forums, as the writer has personally experienced.

Modern Hindus with foreign nationality are doubtless influenced by the compulsions of living on non-natal soils; they seek to accommodate the ‘enemy’ tradition as they need its indulgence to retain whatever they can of their natal faith and culture. Inevitably they experience a cultural swamping, and as the ground slips away under their feet, they respond with concessions and compromises, and an ephemeral search for a ‘middle ground’ between the utterly alien faiths.

And in order to cover their shame, they use bluster to insist that there is an entity called a Global Hindu Community which they represent and which gives them the right to speak for and adjudicate on behalf of Hindus all over the world, specifically the dharmabhumi of Bharat. This writer and colleague Radha Rajan have vigorously rebutted such pretensions over the years.

The Global (read American) Hindus of Indian origin are clever enough to understand that they, and their globe-trotting sanyasi patrons / fellow travellers, are providing savvy Christians with the opportunity to penetrate Hindu society in India and pervert its institutions. But they are too intoxicated by the limelight to retreat. We may leave them to their distractions, as anything they do cannot influence Hindu tradition within India.

Our fight is to ensure the scuttling of further Christian-Hindu / Jain / Sikh dialogue that serves no native interest and can only end in Hindu disempowerment. Christians like Reverend Clooney are driven by the mission to convert the world, especially a resisting pagan civilisation like India’s. Hindus have no worldwide spiritual-cum-political mission of conquest and must remain focused on resisting missionary activity. Hindus have no reason to engage in inter-faith dialogue, which is a futile and destructive activity from their point of view.

Tailpiece

Highlighting the fact that India remains high on the Papal Millennium Agenda, Pope Benedict XVI recently appointed Major Archbishop George Alencherry, head of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church in Kerala, as one of the Vatican’s 22 new Cardinals. He is the 11th Indian and fourth Syro-Malabar prelate to become a cardinal; the investiture will take place on Feb. 18 in Rome.

7. And the drinks were in golden vessels, and each vessel was different, and great royal wine like the king’s reach.

According to Rav Dovid Feinstein, similar, not different, utensils are usually used as a sign of wealth and honor. Why, then, would Achashverosh use different vessels for each person? It could be that something hand-crafted individually for each person is better still. Nevertheless, the Talmud (Megillah 12a) and Midrash (Esther Rabba 2:1) make a similar point in pronouncing these items as the vessels of the Beis HaMikdash, not just different from each other, but different from any other vessels on the face of the earth. Achashverosh, as we shall see, was undoubtedly trying to make a point using these sacred vessels.

This is really not easy, because trying to describe the New World Order as Lucifer and his followers have envisioned it is like covering in a single article, a conclusive commentary on every creature in the sea. The Illuminati, which is what they call themselves, have so many tentacles into present society that it is like a vast web that encircles the world, or a great octopus holding the world in its arms. How do I begin to describe the most important parts of that web…their plans and operations? I don’t know, but I will try. Taking into consideration that most of you already know the basics will make this job easier, I suppose.

In the second Psalm, the Psalmist wrote of a time when the Kings of the earth would join together to throw off the yoke of divine government. That time has been apportioned to our day in history. Of course, as I mentioned above, the Illuminati actually began under the auspices of the Catholic Church with a monk by the name of Ignatius Loyola. Without going into a lot of his history, suffice it to say that he entered into Luciferian worship, perhaps by accident. However, the deeper he went, the deeper he wanted to go, until he gave birth to a whole new order of worship. He is the father of what is known today as the Jesuit Society. He gained favor with the Pope by promising to uphold the Church and the Pope against the Reformation movement sparked by Martin Luther. His promise was imbibed by all who followed him. It was a promise to do their part to uphold the Pope and to stop the Reformation even at the sacrifice of their lives. Jesuits take a similar oath even today. His group became so deeply involved with Luciferian worship in a few short years that Europe became gravely concerned about them and demanded that they be stopped. This forced them to go underground for many years. This occurred in the mid-1500s, as I recall.

Prominence was not restored until 1776 when another Jesuit Monk by the name of Adam Weishaupt was contacted by Meyer Rothschild with the purpose of enlisting his help to establish an organization that would become known as The Bavarian Illuminati. Weishaupt was secretly associated with the Catholic Church, but ostensibly disenfranchised. He was a genius in organizational skills and knew a great many of the European Elite. These qualities made him a likely candidate for their purpose. Furthermore, and perhaps even more importantly, he was deeply involved with the occult as he was trained as a Jesuit Priest. He accepted Meyer Rothschild’s offer, quit his Professorship, and the Bavarian Illuminati began and was officially established in 1776.

The Illuminati as we know it today is the descendant of the Bavarian Illuminati. From the beginning, their goal was world dominion. Over a period of years, the hierarchy formulated their program and ultimately introduced it into the Lodges of Freemasonry. From there, their numbers grew, propelling their agenda into the European Aristocracy at warp speed. However, a brief hindrance arose when after about a year, their plan to provoke the French revolution was discovered. This in itself is quite a story, but I will not take the time to go into it here. Arrests were made and the organization was forced underground for a season, however, continued to grow and develop until the foundation of organization of today was firmly established.

This overview is but a brief summary of an incredible beginning. I suggest, however, that the beginning is not quite as important as the present.

Today, the Illuminati spans the globe with thousands of private organizations and subsidiaries, world governments and rulers all playing their role. For instance, the Lord revealed to me in a series of visions that here in America, our government is Illuminati. In the next vision He said that our court system is Illuminati. In the third vision, He said our banking system is Illuminati. Also, He said our educational system is Illuminati. In another series of visions at a later date He showed me that there are three levels of involvement possible for a nation undertaking a global posture and affiliating themselves with the world-wide Illuminati movement. America is in the deepest level. We are not just heading there, but are already working in this deep level of covert activity. The list of our past Presidents that worked with them is long. President John F Kennedy was born into an Illuminati family. However, when he began his Presidential term in office and saw the perils America would face if the relationship with the Banking Elite and the Federal Reserve were not expunged from American life, he sought to free America. He was determined to shut down the CIA, get rid of the Federal Reserve, and get us out of the war. For that reason, he was killed. Aside from JFK, I have not been able to discover any other recent President that was not under the Shadow Government of the Illuminati either by pressure or by agreement. Whether they did much to integrate America into the Illuminati One World Government or they accomplished little, the list of men who complied with the New World Order movement demands extends many decades into the past.

I mentioned earlier that I would try a bit different approach to sharing the dilemma we are in with the Illuminati, as presently so many books have been written about this subject. Anyone who really wants to know where we are heading can go online and purchase numerous books about our future with this perilous movement.

I will briefly describe some of the Illuminati’s controlling influences over today’s world society and add to this some prophetic insight. This should give you enough information to know you need to prepare for their plans by pulling close to the Lord. Also, as I have stated repeatedly over many decades, I now strongly urge you again: get out of debt and do not buy anything on credit in the future. Learn to live simply. Learn to live close to the Lord.

Divisions of the New World Order Movement

The Catholic Church is the mainstay of the religious arm of the movement. The Pope will be the false prophet of which the Bible itself testifies. Revelation Chapter 17 in part discusses the role of the Catholic Church. Incidentally, the city of the seven hills is Rome. That is not outstanding guess work on my part; anyone who lives in Italy knows that Rome is called the City of the Seven Hills. Rev. 13: 11-16 also addresses its role, bringing into the picture the reality of a false prophet who comes out of the Catholic Church of Rome. Again, Italian Christians fully expect the false Prophet to arise from within the Catholic Church as the Pope of the last days. So we have the Biblical allegory and we have a system that is working rather overtly in Italy preparing the way for the two headed monster, soon to arise. Together, these testify of the coming world religious government through the Church of Rome.

The Popes (Black-Jesuit and the Ceremonial Pope known by the entire world) are doing their part to steer the Catholic Church into the direction needed to fulfill its last days role. The Angel of the Lord came to one of our past leaders, Sally, standing at the center of a great wheel and said to her: “All roads lead to Rome.” Just a few weeks before that, the Lord spoke to me in a vision and told me that behind our government lay the shadow government of Rome. He was referring to the Roman Catholic Church, which was indicated by the actual vision. Only a little research will show the reader that the things I am saying are true. It is said that every leader in the world is subject to the Pope. I had many visions as did other members of our team indicting the Roman Catholic Church in its role in the One World Movement. When I was in India meeting with a couple of friends of mine who just happen to be prophets, the Angel of the Lord appeared and spoke to us about the Catholic Church, the Pope, and the New One World Religion. All agree in their testimony that the false Prophet of the last days will indeed be the Pope.

This vital organization that has its roots deep in the archaic past has been prepared by Lucifer for its future role, at times receiving active cooperation from the Church’s leadership and at other times participating blindly to their own detriment. Millions of Catholics around the world for nearly two thousand years have been subject to its tyranny, while thinking to better their soul. Even now, multiplied thousands are leaving the Catholic Church all over the world. While in Rome, I was taken into a vision walk to see the immediate future of the Catholic Church, wherein I saw exactly what is happening today: the great escape of the masses.

While many are making their exit, others remain and the Catholic Church continues to dominate the religious world. The Pope is calling together the great spiritual leaders of all religions and cults from all over the world to find a way to walk together. While the Catholic in the pew thinks he will go to hell if he dares to leave the Church, the rest of the world is being courted by a doctrine of tolerance for the sake of a One World Religion headed by the Pope.

Yes, the Roman Church has power unlike any other institution, a power that Lucifer is wielding to his own pleasure as the Pope works even now with the Illuminati to bring about the New World Order. In the not too distant future, the Pope will send forth a world-wide decree that all who will not subjugate themselves to his authority will die and the future inquisition will begin.

Banksters

On the banking scene, we find nations dominated by an International Banking Cartel commonly known as the Banking Elite. International Banks such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund are like twin sisters in the banking world. They are set up to look very benign and are seemingly designed to help impoverished nations. However, they are part of the Octopus that is designed to financially strangle the Nations of the World. In the sea world, the octopus is a very sensitive creature. If it feels threatened, it will change colors like a chameleon for the purpose, I suppose, of frightening away its predator. If the creature enters into a panic, it will release a blinding ink against its attacker and swim to safety. It can also be a formidable foe. While in one way I see the Illuminati as a poisonous spider sitting comfortably in the web it has fashioned over the whole world, in another way it is like an octopus. In self-protection it sends out its blinding ink in hopes that the average citizen will not learn what it is doing.

I could go into much detail about this as, once again, we have much revelation on the issue and the Internet is replete with information that attests to what the Lord has shown us. To look into it a bit for yourself, go to the Internet and review the John Pilger films. Begin with the series entitled “The New Rulers of the World”. This particular series reveals how the World Bank and the IMF work together to imprison needy nations for the purpose of gaining ownership and/or use of their resources for those who are the Reigning Elite of the New World Order. The Bank of International Settlements (BIS) works in a similar way and will be the covering umbrella of all the rest when all the shaking is over. There are many other films and writings that reveal other aspects of the Illuminati. This film maker/reporter is just one of many undertaking to reveal the truth.

On a national level, we deal with the insanity of the Federal Reserve. Most know by now that the Federal Reserve is neither a Federal agency nor it is a reserve for difficult or pressing times. Rather it is a central bank owned and operated by private bankers. Economic giants such as Rothschild, Paul Warburg, Schiff and JP Morgan interests to name a few are actually the holding partners in the Federal Reserve. This system is set up to milk our Nation’s economy. It has power to do what no banking system should be allowed to do in any Nation. It sets the subprime interest rate (a responsibility that is supposed to rest on the shoulders of our Congress) and decides when it is time to print more fiat money. (Fiat money is money that is not backed by gold which is the case with US dollars at present.) I could go into a more expanded explanation about this institution, however if you really want to know about it and its devastating history purchase the book “Creature of Jekyll Island” by Edward Griffin. His well executed exposition on the subject will give you a good foundational understanding.

We made it incumbent upon ourselves to learn as much as we could as we began receiving from the Lord much instruction, dates, names and events that pertained to the dangers of the New World Order and its various systems to take to prayer into the GOEs.

What we learned is that the banking system that has been established in America and around the world was covertly designed to make wealthy men even wealthier, and to institute a system of control over the common people which would ultimately lend itself to a feudal society. This beast of economic power fueled by the financial genius and greed of the Elite and supported by the ignorance of the rest of the world will be our undoing. If the Illuminati has an ultimate weapon with which to dominate the world it is this – the present banking system. It is for this reason that the Bible tells us not to borrow money. It states that the borrower is a slave to the lender, which is true. The evidence of that truth is being clearly seen today. The Bible also warns not to engage in usury, or the lending of money at interest. If we did not pay interest and chose, rather, not to borrow money, but instead to save and only then spend what we have, we would not pay double or triple for everything we buy and we would keep our flesh under control instead of living on the edge of destructive impulse buying. Further, bankers such as we are discussing would not have power over us. The Bible’s wisdom is impeccable.

Politics and Banking

If you have it within your power to take away basic needs such as food, clothing, and water from people and control their distribution, you will gain control over whole nations. When, by controlling the economy through deliberately vacillating interest rates and printing “non-money” money, withholding even good, equitable loans and at other seasons making extraordinary loans available which cannot sustain an economy – for they are weak and doomed to fail (such as those we are still trying to digest in connection with the failed derivatives market), as well as many other such maneuvers too deep and vast to cover here – you make the common people so poor that they cannot purchase their basic necessities, providing yourself a basis for absolute control and the engineering of a feudal society.

People will do anything to meet their basic needs, including voluntary slavery. Thus, by the means mentioned above, impoverishment of nations and the New World Order of feudalism is born. One man calls the Elite Bankers “Banksters.” I think he is right! They invited us into their gilded cage and we ignorantly accepted the invitation. Now we as a Nation are trapped. Only God can free us. As for the Church, you must get out of debt any way you can. Live simply and learn to trust in the Lord for your sustenance because trouble is coming through the New World Order.

Carroll Quigley wrote in Tragedy and Hope:

The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland; a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank…sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world.

There is of course the lofty world of politics. Lord Rothschild once said: “Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes the laws.” Oh, how painfully true this is. The Rothschild’s live in a self-made mental utopia because they know all too well who really owns America’s money, and therefore America’s government. George Soros, a serious name in the economic mafia is connected to Rothschild. It was Rothschild interests that gave him his big start, by way of a man by the name of George Karlweiss, Rothschild’s right hand man. Also, he collaborates with the Queen of England. One man calls him the “Hit Man for the British Oligarchy.” Just as important perhaps, he was reared politically by Karl Popper of the Fabian Society, which incidentally was created and is maintained to bring about a One World Government.

Watch what George Soros does to dismantle nations. I understand his bitter hand was in the dismantling of the Yugoslavia as well as many other nations such as Italy and Russia, in recent years. Now he is going after America. I can only guess that Rothschild’s hand is aiding him as his methods are Rothschild methods. This dismantling of our nation is being guided by our politicians on the visible screen, and by the Banking Elite which is the Shadow Government on the invisible screen. What we see taking place in the economic world is being allowed by those we elected to protect our nation. In fact, laws that would have protected us from ever seeing the dismal reality of today were changed in the Reagan years. Let’s go further back, and look at the Federal Reserve. It was finally allowed into America after many failed attempts in 1913. This one decision nailed the coffin of America’s survival. The strong warning of Thomas Jefferson not to ever allow a banking system (Central Bank) to print money was ignored, and we are reaping the terrible poisonous fruit of it now. The Elite has to control the President and the Congress in order to enact their program. We unknowingly elect and pay the politicians to subordinate themselves to the Shadow Government which consists of the Elite and the Pope. The only way around this is to quit listening to what they say and start doing the research to find out what they do. Then don’t agree, but pray for God’s intervention.

The Banking Elite have a goal to so destabilize America’s economy that our banking system will disappear in smoke and ashes and arise again as a brand new creature, again, of their making. Ultimately, they want only one bank in the Nation. All other banks presently in operation will be swallowed up into the “One”. That One Bank will, of course, be under their control.

To summarize this section, the whole banking system is doomed to failure as evil men control it. It is the Devil’s trap, his gilded cage set up to eventually gain control over our Nation and the world, and finally, our lives.

You can live outside this trap. This is how: do not borrow money. Live within your means. Do not buy anything you do not really need. Seek to downgrade your living standards even now as much as possible. Sell what you do not really need and use the money to get out of debt. Finally, live close to God through prayer and time in the Word. Every step you take to move out of dependency on the system will reap rewards in the future.

The Geopolitical World

Regardless of appearance, the President of the United States is not really the one at the top of the political system of our country. Who then is at the top? Deliberately hidden in the background forming a Shadow Government are the Bilderbergs, the Trilateral Commission, the Council of 300, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the United Nations, the Federal Reserve and I think we need to add to the list the World Trade Organization. For instance, the seemingly innocent, albeit, dangerously clandestine meetings held by the Bilderberg Group, are the controlling influence causing the nations of the earth to slither their way to a One World Government. Most of what ultimately comes to the table of the CFR is first decided in the Bilderberg Meetings. Once the CFR fine-tunes the direction set there, it is enacted by the United Nations. What is agreed upon and forwarded to the United Nations ultimately controls what our President and, as a rule, our congress will do. Of course, at the head of these many secret societies is the Banking Elite. Aside from people like David Rockefeller, their chief officers are always International Heads of State, such as Queen Elizabeth or Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands and others of such cloth.

Their plans are then funneled down to the world populace via the many arms of the media which goes about working through propaganda to change our thinking concerning their lofty ideals so we will embrace them. However, the New World Order laws become our laws by the hands of our own elected officials. They teach our politicians how to think, let them know what is politically correct in our Universities, which are headed by revolutionaries of the Global System. Thus they utilize politics as an arm to enact the policies of the New World Order.

I’ll never forget hearing Nancy Pelosi say of the ObamaCare Bill: “We have to vote it in so we can see what is in it.” Those are not the words of someone who thinks pragmatically. They are the words of one who thinks within the box of the N.W.O.

The New World Order is driving our Nation into chaos and the people sit by and idly watch the dangerous implementation of its programs as though they could not even so much as see it is happening. I think we have no more wisdom than Nancy Pelosi. We can see breaches in our Nation’s security in hundreds of areas and yet we tell ourselves, “Oh, it will work out in the end.” That is what Jewish leaders among my own people used to tell themselves before their countries were taken over by Hitler. My dear friends, we are sliding into a sink hole that is too deep for us. It is time to look for a way to break the fall before it’s too late. We cannot keep ignoring the obvious.

We have among our elected officials Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, our President and his right-hand man, Joe Biden, notwithstanding the likes of Hillary Clinton. These people and so many others (regardless of party affiliation) that I will not take the time to list are not working for the American people, although we pay their salaries. They work for the Elite. It is a known fact that Obama is mentored by and subject to George Soros. Further, Soros just gave a very handsome check to an organization Hillary Clinton helped to found, “Media Matters”. Unless she was on the same wave length as Soros, such an overt donation would not have transpired. Soros helped Barney Frank in his attempt to get a bill passed for the legalization of certain street drugs. It is said that the United Kingdom uses Soros as a sort of hit man – economic hit man. He goes in and breaks the bank by various means; finds those who think like he thinks or at least are willing to learn and embrace the way he thinks and supports their efforts in their given field to bring America out of her Sovereignty and into captivity to the New World Order. He is one of many that remain relatively hidden as they work their terrible craft against an ignorant people. They keep yelping that dark is light and light is dark, that evil is good and good is evil. They keep working to take your children through education and if need be through official force. What are you doing about it?

One thing you must do is pray for our elected officials. Pray that God will put conservatives in office who are Constitutionalists. Pray that our Constitution will be reconstituted as it was created to protect us from the New World Order. Pray for those in office regardless of their political ideology. Pray that they will get saved. Pray that they will see the true light and help steer this nation away from our demise. Pray them out of office if they persist in their dangerous plans. Pray against the New World Order. Pray for a major revival to sweep through this Nation.

The Elite want our government in their hands. To accomplish this they move by stealth. They work secretly in the backdrop of our elections, steering America to vote for their choice of candidates. Of course, they work hard to set up two choices of their liking from which we can choose, one being Republican and the other Democrat. They know they will get done whatever they want regardless of who is elected. If a man can be bought, they will buy him and his family will be very comfortable when they finish their presidency. If they cannot buy him, they may do what they did to President Kennedy: they will assassinate him. It just depends on the issues that are in focus during a man’s presidency as to how strong their tactics are. The Congress is also on the ledger to be bargained for. That is why it is important to vote for men and women with integrity. If they do it right, they can get things accomplished to help our Nation. However, it will take prayer.

The Illuminati is working around the globe for globalization, which, simply put, means One World Government. The work they are doing in America is only part of their strategy. Europe is now a “United Europe” in preparation for a One World Government. This has taken centuries to accomplish, but it is now taking shape before our very eyes. They work through the changing of the guard – i.e. governments come and go, but they remain – and continue to perfect their work among the nations decade after decade. They are methodical and patient as they train their leaders to do what they want them to do to bring about their ultimate global goal. The politics of the world are now in their hands to wield as they wish, and wield it they will!

Many Sundry Groups

I have given you some names of the higher secret societies and groups that wield a powerful political and economic sword causing the nations of the earth to swear their allegiance to the emerging global system, marching in step with the beat of the Illuminati drummer.

Now I will mention some lesser, yet extremely powerful groups. Thousands of such groups are speckled across the globe in all nations. We know the name of only a few. Groups such as The Knights of Malta, Soros – OSI (Open Society Institute), MoveOn.org., Center for American Progress, Media Matters, Tides Foundation, Apollo Alliance, Round Table, Pilgrims Society, Freemasons, CIA, Mossad, The Quantum Fund, the Fabian Society and Acorn.

These groups are extremely powerful. One thing that enables them to stay so powerful is that they are covert in their activities. Their titles do not reveal their true purpose. Therefore they continue, nearly undetected, destroying the nations of the world. They are clandestine in their purposes, at times feeding off illegal activity. What I mean is that the highest Bankers and Society leaders have made at least some of their vast wealth by means of horrid, illegal activity: drugs, human trafficking and the sale of illegal arms to name a few.

There is another arm of global conquest I think I need to introduce. This arm is the activities of high level Corporations. I probably should not go into a great deal of detail as to which Corporations. Rather, I will go into how the system works.

America has become a global Empire. This conquest has been accomplished by the team work of our government and the International Elite, whether Bankers such as those behind the World Bank or huge Corporations. We have not, as a rule, gone into these various nations with our armies. Rather, we go in to take over through economics. Economic Hit Men are sent in to the target nation on behalf of certain projects such as harnessing oil or some other important reserve, or perhaps a mega-project such as building a hydro-electric plant that will not help any in the country except the wealthy. By these means the nation is beguiled into getting exorbitant loans from the World Bank, providing a justification for the debt. When all is said and done, the country is overburdened with debt which will take up to 50% of its gross national product to service. This means that the needs of the average citizen can no longer be met and the nation is driven into ever deeper poverty. And the loan itself? 90% goes to paying the corporation that will construct the project. The other 10% actually goes to the borrowing nation to service their interest. The World Bank is happy as it has a new serviceable loan at a fantastic interest rate, and the borrower has become the servant of the lender and the nation now exists to serve the Bank. To effect this interchange of contractual agreements many things are required such as the change in laws that will allow the use of their citizens essentially as a slave labor force, the transfer of ownership of many or at least the most important reserves and many other such things until the country in the end becomes part of the American or British Empire by force and to the country’s detriment. This is a typical example of the work of the New World Order and its procedure of subordinating the nations of the world, ultimately to its global government. The final transition to total ownership will not be complete until this final step is taken: the day that the World Bank, IMF and BIS call their global loans, the world will belong to them legally. This too is part of the Great Octopus of Evil.

Their prevailing purpose is as I previously mentioned, to undermine every vestige of strength in the nation by privatizing things such as water, electricity and so on, for the purpose of taking ownership as soon as possible. They take deliberate and pre-calculated steps to destroy the nation’s economy, seeing to it that laws are passed that enable the mega-corporations to enter and do as they wish as well as make use of the population as little more than slave labor. They will often bring in or support the overthrow of governments by tyrannical leaders. Another means by which power is transferred to those more willing to cooperate with NWO interests is to send in Economic Jackals to assassinate the disagreeable President (Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins). This is an extreme over-simplification of the process. The point is that these and other lower organizations are all working together to bring the world of nations into the New World Order.

(You can also watch an interview with John Perkins on You Tube.)

It would take a number of books to explain all we have learned through our research gathered from books, articles and media presentations by notable journalists. Everything we have read or heard has been clearly documented and has proven trustworthy. All told, our research has confirmed and amplified the insight we gained through the many dreams and visions we have received from the Lord about the end-time plans of the New World Order. By these and many other ways and means the nations of the world are succumbing to the desires and demands of the Elite who are rushing toward the New World Order.

One might pose the question, “If this is so, why have we not heard about it before?” My answer is because you apparently are not doing what the Lord has commanded us to do, which is to read the signs of the times. In reading the signs, begin to look for the hidden means by which the program is moving forward. Some do not believe in “Conspiracy Theories.” All I can say to that is that it matters not whether you call it a conspiracy or a natural chain of events. All that matters at this time is that before our very eyes we are losing our Nation. If you are still wondering if it is really true that the One World Government is forming, then look at the United Europe as it exists today and is detailed in the Bible. Once you are convinced that the re-uniting of Europe indicates that we are in the times of the end of the age written about in the Bible, then go after the material available everywhere and re-prioritize your life with God at the center as a result of your findings. (I would encourage you to stay with Christian and well supported material. It will be more dependable.)

At the top, bottom and everywhere in-between there is the practice of the Occult. The N.W.O. is headed by people who are deep into the Occult and worship Lucifer. To become part of the pyramid of power one must embrace Occult worship. Therefore, this pyramidal structure has become the framework of the N.W.O. and it is built in the Occult providing Satan a house from which to rule in the earth.

This same house will be co-ruled by the Pope in the last days. The Pope will be looked at as the great prophet of the Anti-Christ deceiving many. A novel based on facts, The Windswept House by Malachi Martin which is about the current condition of the Catholic Church tells of a ritual that actually took place in 1957. (In it, the author states that the ritual occurred in 1963. However, in a later interview he stated that the real ritual occurred in 1957.) This Black Mass ritual was performed for the purpose of enthroning Lucifer at the head of the world-wide Catholic Church which in turn will, as I stated earlier, be the fountainhead of the One World Religion. So Satan is putting his last pieces of the puzzle together for the purpose of ruling the world.

America is falling because God has been forced out of the Nation. The only way to turn this thing around and buy time is to turn back to God with our whole heart. We must pray now that God will intervene in our Country and reign as Lord Supreme. In the meantime, we must seek the Lord with a biblical zeal while He can be found. If we do so, He will reveal Himself to us.

We must remember that He is God and therefore He is Love. This hour is going to be tough, yet for the Church it will also be the greatest hour in history. The Lord will bring us close to Himself and grant us a resting place of peace and honor amidst the storm. He will use His Church to bring His Son great glory. Therefore, to perform this, He will fill our souls with such faith and purity that the enemy will stagger at the sight of us. The revelation of God will be astounding and His Kingdom Glory will be unequaled. So do not fear but have great faith as God is faithful to His own. Remember, you were born for such a time as this. So be full of faith and good cheer as you await the coming of the Lord Who will come to His Church, and then through His Church to a lost and dying world, and finally for His Church when we least expect it.

Bless you!

In His Love,

Four - The Rich Inheritance of the Meek

“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5).

In the third beatitude Jesus quotes the psalmist who said, “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes … But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace … Wait for the Lord and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land” (Psalm 37:7, 11, 34). Christ, unlike the psalmist, spoke not just of a point when the Israelites would take possession of a certain property, but of a time when His Heavenly kingdom—the place where God dwells with man—would physically lower to the earth (see Revelation 3:12). On the day that happens, the meek will rule there with Him (see Revelation 20:6).

According to the Lord, the control of the wicked over this world is just a mirage. God allows godless people to sit on thrones, corrupt men and women to hold government positions, and wicked people to influence decisions; but the Lord still stands in charge. Ultimately, sin will die and He will visibly establish His dominion. When He does, the meek will inherit the planet—a new earth, renewed and transformed by its Creator.

We, like many listeners who heard Christ’s words uttered two thousand years ago, may recoil at the concept of meekness in this context because we do not understand its meaning. Often people equate meekness with weakness, but such is not the case. The Greek word for “meekness” brings to mind a person who is gentle, humble, and considerate in nature due to the exercising of self-control. The New English Bible translates this portion of Matthew 5:5 as “those of a gentle spirit.” Meekness, then, is not a lack of strength but harnessed and self-controlled strength. For example, a wild horse that has been “broken” was sometimes referred to as having been “meeked.”[i] The animal’s power had been gentled and harnessed. Likewise, when we learn to live in brokenness before God, His infinite power is unbridled in us (see 2 Corinthians 13:4). When we let go of our pride and self-promotion, God’s power is released in us, through us, and around us. We become more like Jesus, who described Himself with the term (Matthew 11:29).

Secular humanism encourages us to make much of ourselves while exalting the overall greatness, wisdom, and goodness of man. The philosophy essentially makes each person the ruler of his or her kingdom. I’m reminded of an acquaintance, an avowed humanist. “I can set my own rules,” he pompously barked one day. “I determine what is right and wrong and best for me. It’s all relative. It’s all about what makes me happy. Linden, you can do the same for yourself.”

As he paused for breath, I couldn’t help but interject, “It’s okay, then, if I steal your wallet? After all, I think that is what’s best for me and you’ve suggested that there are no real consequences.”

“Uh, uh,” he stammered, “I don’t think I’d take it that far.”

Thankfully, God later intervened in his life, humbled him, revealed the falseness of his ideology, and convinced him that he would eventually give an account to an authority higher than himself. But my friend’s old attitude that says, “It’s all about me,” represents a tragic and false view of life and eternity. While this line of thinking prevails in our culture, Jesus clearly teaches that those who will reign with Him in His kingdom do not busily build themselves up and sing their own praises. Only the meek will inherit His kingdom.

Living in meekness shows that a person holds an accurate estimation of himself in relation to others—most importantly, in relation to our King. This state allows us to rejoice in the mystery that the King of the universe considers us “miserable sinners” worthy of grace. It totally transforms the way we relate to God and others as we live in a posture of contentedness and joyful service.

Perhaps it doesn’t appear so in the present, but this earth is God’s gift to His people. In a very real but spiritual sense, the seemingly deprived and impoverished meek can enjoy all that is Christ’s: we can marvel at creation, thrive in relationships, grow in love, and work with purpose. Even though the Heavenly city has not yet descended, we can live in the contentment and blessedness of God’s spiritual kingdom as we “possess” all that is His. “All things are yours …,” Paul wrote in his letter to the Corinthian Christians, “the world or life or death or the present or the future–all are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God” (1 Corinthians 3:21-23).

Rudolf Stier sums up the blessed and counter-cultural power of meekness before God and others: “Self-renunciation is the way to world-dominion.”[ii] Only the plan of the sovereign King of Kings could devise such a kingdom and chosen grace as the means of entrance!

Apply It.

Read Zephaniah 3:11-12. Do an honest self-assessment. Do you often trust in your own abilities, act prideful, or consider yourself better than others? The trap of self-reliance entices all of us, so ask God to break you of any such attitudes, making you humble before Him and others. Daily choose to trust only in Him.

Mom learned how to turn off the flash on the camera.

Or, The Persistence of Me. Remember the Hershey bar pillow? It’s mine now. I knew they would give in and let me use it. I like to jump up on the bed and drape myself across the Hershey pillow just like the dogs in the picture are draped over tree branches. You know, like the melting clocks in the original Salvador Dali painting.

It’s hard to take a picture of me stretched out lazily on the Hershey bar pillow because I snap to attention in the presence of a camera. Maybe someday I’ll cooperate and strike the right pose.

We’re getting smarter all the time. We can’t read yet, but we can feel the essence of the words.

It’s only a matter of time before world dominion.

Be afraid.
