126 The War On Christ

One of the trademarks of the infamous Antichrist as foretold in the Bible, is that he will wage war against "the saints*."

In the language of our times that spells persecution. Persecution of all those that God deems righteous.

The only qualification to meet that criteria is having accepted the sacrifice of the Righteous One, Whom the Western World refers to as Jesus the Christ, and whom His original Mideastern followers have called Yashua, the Messiah.

If the Devil is a reality (and if you look around, you can't deny the evidence), and all that is written about him in the Scripture is a reality, then those Scriptures that prophesy his incarnation in one final world ruler at the end of the world as we know it must also be a reality.

All that I have observed over the past 4 decades has gradually built up a perception of that reality, which by now - as unfortunately as it may be considered by some - has become unshakable.

The "war against the saints" has begun a while ago, even if it may have been duped different things.

If there was ever a period in which it seemed as if all those Bible prophecies were false, and Christianity was actually becoming more and more popular and recognized by society, I think that period has just about come to an end.

Satan's had his heroes in his war against Christ since the beginning of time, and probably some of his greatest progress in the past decade has been achieved by the Bush administration. Just the fact that this most un-popular of all presidencies posed as "Christian," (and by now there has emerged sufficient evidence that it was not genuinely so), was a genius strategic act of the anti-christ forces that have cost Christendom at least 8 points on a popularity scale from 1 to 10 (and it wasn't at 10 when the count started).

It's not as if the tactic was entirely new. After all, kingdoms and empires and those who ruled them - nowadays we call them politicians - have often posed as "Christians" while pursuing their true goals of power by means of eliminating the other side (not seldom the true believers), which is what Jesus referred to when He prophesied, "The time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service" (John 16:22). Some of them must have genuinely thought that they fought on the right side, but they were genuinely and sincerely wrong.

As James Taylor sang, "You just can't kill for Jesus."

Now with Obama"in power" (or at least filling the puppet post of pretense of power) the rest of the world is heaving a sigh of relief that America has come back to her senses, away from all that Christian fanaticism that surely must have been the root of all evils and woes in this world.

A new age of reason has been ushered in, soon to enlighten those who wish to be "enlightened" and to eliminate those who refuse to be.

You can make your own guess on which side of that war your government is fighting, your country's school system or the scientific community, the mainstream media, or such day-to-day conveniences as Google, for that matter.

And while you're at it... your employers?... Yourself?

Unfortunately, many of those supposedly fighting for the side of Christ in this battle aren't actively participating, because they believe that Christ will whisk them away from the battle field before the battle even starts. The battle will come over them unexpectedly and virtually catch them with their pants down, unprepared, unexperienced in wielding the spiritual weaponry of faith and the Word of God, and weakened by countless temptations and distractions brought on them by the gods in whose temples they actually spent most of their time: Mammon (god of wealth), Mars (god of war), Bacchus (god of addictions) and the likes.

Instead of helping to strengthen and arm their brothers and sisters around the world, a lot of supposed "soldiers of the cross" seek to enrich themselves by fleecing the sheep instead of feeding them, as Ezekiel prophesied.

What would Jesus do if He came into the modern temples of today? Would He act any differently than He did when He chased out those who had made a market hall of His Father's house?

So, where are the true shepherds, Whom the Lord will find feeding His sheep when He comes?

May God have mercy and replace the love of money in our hearts with love for the lost.

No physical wall you will have erected around yourself will protect you from the war on the saints when it will break loose, only real faith. It's the only currency that will survive the purging fires that are going to sweep across the world.

125 Google: Big Brother's Favorite Tool

Despite all attempts of presenting itself in the light of a youthful, innovative and user-friendly Corporation with best interests for you, the end user, the way Google has been developing lately, especially with their most recent moves, reveals clearly who they are really working for.

By investing their energies and resources in technologies that serve not only to hunt down those guilty of minor copyright infringements in their releases on Google Video, (which, by the way, will soon stop its upload service), but in the near future will also enable authorities (or anyone who does or does not like you, for that matter) to locate you anywhere at any given time on God's (or Google's?) earth, the multi-billion dollar machine has proven that what it really is concerned about is not the flow of information that goes out to the people, but the flow of information about the people to the Orwellian "Big Brother" complex, whose interest lies primarily in controlling, manipulating and exploiting the masses to the last drop.

First of all, if you were interested in the spreading of information into all directions, (not just from the bottom to the top), it would be plain stupidity to delete a video just because it contains part of a song that some record company holds the rights to, especially if it's a song that hardly anybody knows.

If you had two cents worth of brain in your skull, as an entrepreneur you should be happy if anyone advertises your product for free. If your product is any good, and people will get a taste of it, they might like it and find out where they can purchase it.

By banning any and all copyrighted content, you can rest assured that the product will remain unknown throughout most of the world. Congratulations, you losers!

But then again, for those of us familiar with what a slop wash "show-business" really is, it's no big secret that the record companies are not necessarily interested in promoting artists with Christian, edifying or politically provocative messages, but rather, keeping a lid on them, so that they can keep pouring out their preferred "art" on the market, that will further enhance the growth of mass stupidity, materialism, violence in all sorts of public places, (especially schools), and the reduction of the world's surplus population by driving as many of us as they can to the edge of suicide.

The masters of the New World Order aren't as interested in your hearing Nicole McMullen or other innocent artists as much as they want your kids to go berserk to the tunes of Rammstein and Marilyn Manson, so that they can come in and save you from the mess they themselves created.

As with politics and other branches of big business, a certain product or new trend may look promising, such as the current, 21st century version of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in D.C., but the reality of the final outcome and end result may be hard to swallow a little further down the road.

Except perhaps for those familiar enough with Bible prophecy to know that we all should be prepared for unpleasant surprises.

While current articles about Google's latest endeavor to enable users to be tracked down anywhere, anytime in the world make it sound like just another communication-friendly and cute "sociable" device, in the light of the fact of what brand of people are running this whole show with their New World Order mantra (on whose band wagon Google must have undoubtedly jumped a while ago), it makes "1984" sound more prophetically accurate than ever.

Only that the real nightmare began with a much more "family-friendly" air about it, that sounded almost too good to be true, so that only the most suspicious and paranoid wouldn't fall for it.

Thanks to the "new boss" (same as the old boss) and his bills that are keeping the exact opposite of what he originally promised, and collaborators like Google, the internet as we know it, as a reliable source of alternative information to the mainstream media slop is probably going to be history very soon.

After all, the number of those on the U.S. government's "terrorist" list is growing daily, and it consists of anything but terrorists, but of 5-year-olds and anyone who has a different opinion than that which is the official mantra from the opinion makers running the media, and Google wants to have a piece of the pie when the new "Führer" climbs the international throne, and thus won't give a voice to dissenters much longer.

The temporary free flow of information in both directions was probably good for the NWO clan to find out where we're all at, and now that they've got our name and number, plus Google's newly developed tracking device, the "clean up" is going to go a lot quicker than it took in Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Russia or Mao's China.

The color of skin, the nationalities and the faces of the players may have changed, but the general tactics remain the same, although over time they may have gotten a little more sophisticated.

How did Bruce Hornsby put it?

"That's just the way it is;

some thing will never change..."

124 Big Picture Vol.1-3


Of all good things there are three.

Three versions of God: Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Yet One.

Three atoms to every water molecule. Yet they form one entity.

There are three editions of what I like to call "The Big Picture."

One is here and has probably always been.

The second one is here and has come forth from the first.

The third will be, and will consist of both previous ones. And it will stay forever.

The first edition of "The Big Picture" is the Spirit World -dwelling place of God and His Holy Family, expanding to probably countless of His sons and daughters, both, faithful and fallen. While it would probably take an eternity to catch up on the information that presently eludes us concerning this part of the Big Picture, it probably is also the one that is the least attractive or interesting to most of us.

The 2nd version or part of the Big Picture is the physical realm, what we call the universe, including the time line of its history, and is so to speak a product of the former, since it was information uttered by God that brought it into being (see Hebrews 11:3).

It's the one that usually intrigues us the most. Partly because it's "ours,"

at least for the time being. It's probably not incorrect to say that this part of the Picture is in a somewhat imperfect state.

The 3rd and final stage of the Big Picture is the combination of BP1 and 2:

the Spirit World and the physical realm united and merged into one.

This event is forecast and described in such places as the Book of Revelation, when it talks about the Abode of God coming down from Heaven to dwell on (a new) earth forever (Rev.21:1-5).

The final and ultimate version of the Big Picture will be this one, the 3rd, and it will probably shed more light on both previous ones for its inhabitants, if such a thing as "previous" will be of any relevance.

But I do think so, since God isn't known to easily discard origins or dishonor his chosen patriarchs.

While man has presently contented himself with the confidence that his heritage is that of tree-climbing mammals, God has never been thus cruel to us, to deprive us of a slightly nobler past and heritage, even if it begins with nothing more than 2 perfect, naked humans in a perfect place, unfortunately not perfectly happy with it.

What we consider fairy-tales, God calls our history, and when history will be done, then I guess we will know what will have been fairy tales, and what the reality.

The reality of God, as announced in BP3, will be greater than any fairy tale man could have ever cooked up.

123 Monkey See, Monkey Do

Coming to grips with the fact that we're probably closer to the end of the world than most of us are willing to admit, always keeps drawing my thoughts back to its beginnings.

Life is a constant choice between positive or good and valid input and information, and its negative, non-valid, bad counterpart.

Only discernment and experience teach us to know the difference.

We're all basically standing at the same tree as did Adam and Eve.

The only difference is, all around us are billions of people who have already tasted the fruit of the knowledge of evil (= bad information), and they're all telling us, "It's good! C'mon, take a bite! I've done it, too! It's the only way!"

We don't only have the Devil to deal with in our struggle to resist temptation, but also his favorite weapon of the century: peer pressure.

What once used to require cunning persuasion on his part now merely takes an appeal to our basest herd instincts: "Monkey see, monkey do."

There's a lot of "input" out there, and it's pretty tough to know which of it is good and which is bad. It's not easy to make an estimate, but I'd say probably 90% of what bombards us is mostly negative.

The difficult thing is, that the Enemy is smart enough not to hand us 100% pure evil information, but what makes it all the more dangerous and deceptive is that he always mixes it with some truth.

Nothing has changed about that since his first sales talk. After all, it was true that they weren't going to die physically at the time they ate of the fruit, and we already expounded on that it was true in a sense that they became like gods, if even God Himself calls them thus later on in His Word...

So, I guess the conclusion is that nothing saves us from bad info, except the experience of what happened once we swallowed and accepted it...

It builds us up in a wrong way.

It feeds your ego, but not your soul.

It may fill your head with "knowledge" but doesn't make you one bit wiser.

It may lead you to the conclusion that "there is no God," and that you and your own kind are the only masters and heroes of the universe, and yet leave you utterly ignorant of the fact that in God's dictionary, you thus become the perfect definition of a fool.

It may make you feel hip and cool, but on God's thermometer you may merely amount to the status of "lukewarm."

You may think you're "hot 'n' heavy," not realizing that you've been weighed in the scales of the Creator of the universe, and found wanting.

What it all boils down to when all the dross and muck has up and gone into smoke and vapor is the truth: coming to face yourself for what you really are, namely not much, if anything at all, without a connection with the One Who put you on the planet, and the single Authority on why.

But that's a great place to start, because it begins the process of your willingness to absorb the other stuff, that formerly totally unattractive type of input you would have sneered at when you still thought you were the king of the hill.

It may not immediately make sense to you... But slowly, as you keep immersing your soul and parched spirit in it, eventually it begins to make sense, and you begin to derive so much information out of even one formerly seemingly meaningless phrase, such as, "In the beginning was the Word..." (John 1:1)

It all began with information... the right kind of input, and... yeah, you want more of it! Lots more!
