An open letter to the newly appointed EU president Herman Van Rompuy:

The founding father of the Treaty of Rome Bilderberger Henri Spaak

Dear Mr. President;

As a provision of the Lisbon Treaty we, the world, waited with eager anticipation as to just who was going to receive the presidency of the EU. Right up until the time that the announcement was made that you had been granted the post the ex British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, ran as the red hot favorite.

As if your goal was global dominance just as soon as you were appointed to the role you came out with a speech advocating a Global Government or a New World Order? Then just recently without any fanfare whatsoever you were effectively handed the keys to the city when you were appointed as the head of the Economic Government of Europe, meaning that because you now control the Euro you rule the EU. You really are now beginning to sound very much like the one my Bible calls the Beast of Revelation?

Whether by accident or divine invention, I know not which, I have noted that the both yourself as the current unelected president of the EU and the founding father of the EU Henri Spaak, (which away back in 1955 began as the Treaty of Rome) both share similarities: both were/are Bilderbergers and both were former Belgium Prime Ministers.

I have also noted that when the EU was originally founded Spaak he came out and made a statement which said:

"We do not want another committee, we have too many already. What we want is a man of sufficient stature to hold the allegiance of all the people and to lift us up out of the economic morass into which we are sinking. Send us such a man, and whether he is of God or devil, we will receive him.”

But the most curious anomaly of all is that as the founding father of what become the final world empire of the EU Spaak’s original conception of the Treaty of Rome is quite clearly mentioned in my Bible. I know this is so because at the end of the verse in question the Bible describes this horn as having a look that was (hyphenated: past tense) more stout than his fellows – meaning that he was fat or overweight is certainly not a description of physical appearance that I would attribute to you in any shape or form whatsoever but one that can be and is attributed to Henri Spaak.

Daniel Chapter 7, Verse 19 and 20:

19. Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;

20. And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.

Then as surely as night follows day further down the page we are able to see the result of the initial concept of the Treaty of Rome that becomes the full blown modern day EU of which you now hold the reigns of power over. In the following verses we are also able to see another horn, a more powerful horn, a horn the Bible describes as being the Antichrist which could only describe you as being the chosen one that is to rule the EU.

Daniel Chapter 7, Verse 24 and 25:
24. And the ten horns out of this kingdom [are] ten kings [that] shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. (That’s Antichrist when it speaks of the end times.)

25. And he shall speak [great] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

There is a direct tie in between those two verses and Revelation Chapter 13 Verse 1

Revelation Chapter 13, Verse 1:

1. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

If you are the Beast then you would have to have both ten horns and ten crowns, as you quite clearly have; with your ten horns being the ten nations of the Euro Mediterranean Union and your ten crowns being the ten nations of the European Council of Ministers. Need I say too much more?

Henri Spaak should now be turning over in his grave when he said: Send us such a man, and whether he is of God or devil, we will receive him.” He did not get a man from God but instead they have received a man from Satan and that man is you. Others may be fooled by your unique mild mannered looks and quietness but I for one am certainly not for I surely know who you are as certainly as the sun is going to sink over the horizon tonight.

The Day of Judgement

Oskar Ernst Bernhardt

PLEASE NOTE: the author of this article Abd-ru-shin (civil name Oskar Ernst Bernhardt) passed away in 1841.

In the attached article he speaks of the Day of Judgment or the purification of the earth’s creation at the coming of the Lord.

He mentions the resurrection of the dead as being the constant theme of the end time’s Bible prophecy. There is nothing whatsoever mentioned relative to a Rapture of the Church which only goes to prove without any doubt in my mind whatsoever the idea or concept of a Rapture of the Church is nothing more than a recently invented add on to the scriptures that has been satanically inspired by False Prophets to lead the unsuspecting into Hell fires.
THE DAY of Judgment! Every prophecy that is connected with this proclaims the resurrection of all the dead for the Final Judgement! But this mankind has again introduced an error into the concept of the expression; for it is not meant to denote: Resurrection of all the dead, but resurrection of all that is dead! That is: The animating of all that is without movement in Creation, so that it may become alive for the Divine Judgment, either to be strengthened in its activity or annihilated!

Today nothing remains motionless; for the Living Power that now flows with greater intensity through all Creation urges, presses and forces everything into motion. Thereby it grows stronger, including that which has hitherto been inactive or dormant. It is awakened, strengthened, and thus must become active; in this awakening activity it is, so to speak, dragged before the Light, even if it wished to hide. It can also be said that it comes to the Light of itself and must reveal itself; it can no longer remain dormant, wherever it may be. As the popular saying is: “It comes to light!”

Everything becomes life and activity in this entire Creation through the new penetration of the Light! The Light thereby exerts a powerful attraction . . . whether that which rests or perhaps even hides in this Creation wishes it or not; and finally it will also come into contact with this Light, it cannot escape It, even if it had the wings of the morning no place in the entire Creation can grant it protection from the Light. There is nothing which will not be lit up.

But in the movement of being attracted, anything that cannot endure the radiation, thus anything that is not already voluntarily striving towards this Light, must be shattered and burnt up by the Light. What is attuned to the Light, however, will blossom and grow strong in the purity of its volition!

So is it also with all the qualities of the souls of these earthmen. What has hitherto appeared to be dead, what has slumbered in them, often unknown to men themselves, will awaken and become strong under the Power, will develop into thought and deed, so that according to its nature it will in manifesting judge itself by the Light! Reflect, whatever is slumbering in you will come to life! Therein lays the resurrection of all that is dead! The Living Judgment! The Day of Judgment!

Then you must deal with all that is within you, must purify yourselves, or you will perish with the evil if it is able to become too powerful in you. It will then hold you fast, break over your head with foaming and bubbling, to sweep you down with it into the abyss of disintegration; for it can no longer exist in the radiance of Divine Power! ––

To you I have now given the Word showing the way that, in the awakening of this Creation, leads you unerringly to the Luminous Heights, the way that will not let you fall, whatever happens and tries to flare up within you! If you have turned your gaze to the Light in loyal conviction, if you have rightly grasped my Word and absorbed it in your souls, then you will calmly ascend out of the chaos, cleansed and purified, free from everything that might once have hindered you from entering Paradise.

Watch and pray, therefore, that you do not let your clear outlook be dimmed by vanity and conceit, the most dangerous snares for these earthmen! Beware! As you have now prepared the soil within you, so will it happen to you during the purification of Creation!

The Icelandic Volcano Eruptions and Herman Van Rompuy

The International Air Transport Association has sharply criticized European governments for their lack of leadership in handling airspace restrictions in light of the Icelandic volcano eruption. The association has urged a rethink of the decision making process.

They were quoted as saying we are far enough into this crisis (and that’s what it is a crisis – whether man made or a natural occurrence I know not) to express our dissatisfaction on how the governments have handled the situation with a no risk assessment, no consultation, no coordination, and no leadership being shown relative to the situation.

The crisis is costing airlines at least $200 million per day in lost revenues and the European economy is suffering billions of dollars in lost business.

In the face if such dire consequences it is incredible that Europe’s transport ministers have taken a full five days to organize a teleconference. IATA criticized Europe’s unique methodology of closing airspace based on theoretical modeling of the ash cloud.

This means that the governments have not taken their responsibilities seriously enough to make clear decisions based on facts. Instead, it has been the air navigation service providers who had announced that they would not provide the service. And these decisions have been taken without adequately consulting the airlines.

This has been a test for the chosen one; the newly appointed president of Economic Government of Europe, Herman Van Rompuy and it seems to be a test that he has failed miserably -- or has failed deliberately?

It does seem to be very curious that the European politicians, Herman Van Rompuy in particular, have done nothing to render the circumstance of Icelandic Volcanic eruptions impotent so that they don’t affect European Airspace?

This inaction on the part of Van Rompuy suggests the fulfillment of Bible prophecy whereby we are told that the Antichrist achieves certain objectives and helping mankind is not one of them.

Revelation Chapter 6

From the King James Version
1And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
9And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
12And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

The Jews Are NO longer God’s Chosen People

Just as it is a lie of Satan there will be a Rapture of the Church, and just as it is a lie of Satan that the Antichrist will also be Jewish because the Lord Jesus Christ was Jewish, it is also a another lie of Satan to believe that the Jews Are Gods chosen people and are entitled to illegally occupy the Holy Land as their God given right.

By Harry Bethell

NOTICE: This writer does not advocate illegal discrimination or racism or violation of civil rights of Jews or any other group. This article is NOT anti-Semitic. Christians should love the Jews and pray for them.

It is a lie from Satan that Jews are God's chosen people and many pastors embrace and teach Satan's lie that Christians should support the State of Israel (Zionism). Also, another lie from Satan is the teaching that God blesses those who bless Israel and He curses those who curse them, that has not been true for more than 1900 years.

Jews claim to be God's chosen people, but they were His chosen people. Only the elect of the Jews (which is an extremely small minority) will be saved.

Jesus Christ, who is God incarnate, pronounced judgment on the Jews for rejecting Him:

The Jews generally rejected Jesus, the true Messiah, therefore Jesus cursed the fig tree, which represents Israel, saying, "May you never bear fruit again!" (Mat. 21:18).

When the Jewish chief priests and elders questioned Jesus' authority He said to them, "I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people [Gentiles] who will produce its fruit" (Mat. 21:43).

When Jesus told a parable to the Jewish chief priests, scribes, and elders (Lk. 20:19), they knew He was talking about them when He said that the vine-growers, to whom the owner had sent his son, killed his son. Then in the parable Jesus asked what will the owner of the vineyard do to those who killed his son, to which He said, "He will come and destroy these vine-growers [Jews] and will give the vineyard to others [Gentiles]."

After hearing this and knowing that Jesus was talking about them, those Jews "tried to lay hands on Him that very hour...and they watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, in order that they might catch Him in some statement, so as to deliver Him up to the rule and the authority of the governor" (Lk. 20:9-20).

A loving, longsuffering and merciful God sent Jesus to "His own [the Jews], and His own received Him not" (John 1:11). The reason that the Jewish prophet John (the Baptizer) came baptizing with water was to reveal Jesus to Israel (John 1:31). And Jesus said that He was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel (Mat. 15:24).

Near the end of Jesus' earthly ministry Jesus said, 'O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. (Mat. 23:37-38).

Paul quoted Isaiah in his epistle to the Christians in Rome, "Concerning Israel he [Isaiah] says, 'All day long I [God] have held out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people [the Jews]'" (Rom. 10:21).

After the apostle Paul had preached the Gospel to Jews in cities throughout Asia and was, for the most part, rejected by them, he turned to the Gentiles and ministered to them.

Near the end of Paul's ministry, when he was in Rome under house arrest, he spoke to a large gathering of Jews. Paul explained and declared to them the kingdom of God and tried to convince them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.

The great apostle concluded his sermon by saying, "The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your [Jewish] forefathers when He said through Isaiah the prophet: 'Go to this people and say, 'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn and I would heal [save] them.' Therefore I want you to know that God's salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen" (Acts 28:17-28).

When the Jews cried out over and over to crucify Jesus, and Pilate wanted to release Him, all the Jews said, "Let His blood be on us and on our children!" (Mat. 27:25).

Jesus prophesied God's destruction of Jerusalem that would take place in 70 A.D. at the hands of the Roman general Titus (Mat. 24:1-2; Lk. 19:41-44). According to Josephus, the first-century Jewish historian, more than 1,000,000 Jews died when Jerusalem was laid siege to and destroyed as Jesus had prophesied 40 years earlier.

That horrific suffering was second only to the suffering of the twentieth century Holocaust under Hitler. This was because of the general rejection of Christ by the Jews, and until this day they still reject Jesus Christ as the Messiah and Savior and the only way to heaven.

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man [including Jews] cometh unto the Father, but by Me" (Jn. 14:6). There are very few Jews today who will repent of their sins and be born again and receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and only way to God to Father.

In 614 A.D. the Persians captured Jerusalem and massacred the inhabitants. The so-called "Christian" Crusaders captured Jerusalem in 1099. Several times since then Jerusalem has fallen into the hands of Moslems and "Christians." There is no reason to believe that the Crusaders were truly born-again Christians, anymore than the vast majority of Roman Catholics.

The Jews have continued to reject Christ throughout the centuries and the last great slaughter of Jews was during the Holocaust. It is claimed that six million Jews were killed in a few short years under the hand of Hitler (the number is probably exaggerated). (Also killed were Christ-rejecting Gypsies, homosexuals, and a few others.) All of this mass-killing took place as a sovereign and just God looked on.

Paul in Romans 9:27 referred to Isaiah when he wrote, "Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, [only] a remnant shall be saved."

The apostle Paul (a born-again Jew) said that the minds of the Jews have been made dull and to this day a "veil" covers their hearts when the Old Covenant is read, and only in Christ is it taken away (2 Cor. 3:14-16).

Paul wrote concerning the Jews, "You who brag about the Law, do you dishonor God by breaking the Law?

As it is written: 'God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you'" (Rom. 2:23-24).

Justin Martyr, in 116 A.D. wrote, "The Jews were behind all the persecutions of the Christians. They wandered through the country everywhere hating and undermining the Christian faith."

Albert Einstein, a Jew, and an atheist said in a letter to philosopher Eric Gutkind dated 1/3/1954 that Jews were not God's chosen people. The renowned physicist wrote, "For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions." Einstein said, "And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people." He wrote, "The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish."

Concerning the Jews Einstein wrote, "As far as my experience goes, they are no better than other human groups...I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them."

President Harry S. Truman wrote in his diary on 7/21/1947, "The Jews, I find, are very, very selfish...[W]hen they have power, physical, financial or political neither Hitler nor Stalin has anything on them for cruelty or mistreatment of the underdog."

Reportedly, in 1977 Israel passed a law that prohibits anyone, including Christians, from leading the Jews to change their religion.

What should be the attitude of Christians toward Christ-rejecting Jews?

Christians should love the Jews just as we should love the heathen in Africa. Paul wrote that "all Israel shall be saved" (Rom. 11:26), but the apostle also wrote that "though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, [only] a remnant shall be saved" (Rom. 9:27).

All true Israel is only a remnant. During the Great Tribulation 144,000 Jews will be saved, but this is only a small remnant compared to the millions of Jews living today. The Christ-rejecting Jews are no different than anyone else who has not repented of their sins and been born again. Pray for the Jews, love them, ask God to have mercy on them, and share the true Gospel with those who will listen.

Van Rompuy: Speaking out of Both Sides of his Mouth.

If you want to understand why the president of the EU Council, the sinister Herman van Rompuy, so richly deserved the insults recently hurled in his direction by UKIP MEP Nigel Farage, this Daily Telegraph story is a good place to begin:

"Asymmetrical translation" is an new European Union phrase coined by its President to spare Gordon Brown's political blushes. Herman Van Rompuy came up with the idea, early on Friday morning, after a Franco-German call for an "economic government" horrified the [British] Prime Minister. "We consider that the European Council should become the economic government of the EU," said the Franco-German text. To get around the G-word, "ideologically unacceptable" to Britain, but insisted on by Nicolas Sarkozy, the French President, Mr Van Rompuy came up with a novel solution to keep everyone happy. As a result, the French version of the binding summit text, agreed on Thursday, used the original words "le gouvernement économique". To spare Mr Brown's feelings, the English text used the more innocuous and less controversial term "economic governance". "There is no fundamental difference of view, but rather a sensitivity to certain words which has led to an asymmetrical translation," remarked the EU president. A British official tied to explain it: "Governance is about the way you do things, government is about new institutions or structures." Another senior EU official noted that linguistic tricks were a specialty of Mr Van Rompuy, the former leader of Belgium, a country divided by bitter political disputes between Flemish Dutch and Walloon French speakers."I find it effective in a Europe with different political cultures. The words government or governance can be used for the same thing. We all know what is meant politically," he said.

We do indeed.

Netanyahu’s Outright Deceit

For Israel’s hawkish premier, the issue is not halting illegal settlement expansion, but increasing it less conspicuously, writes Khalid Amayreh in Ramallah.

While claiming to have a genuine desire for the resumption of “peace talks” with the Palestinian Authority (PA), Israel has been murdering Palestinian civilians in the streets of the West Bank in a clear overreaction to recent Palestinian protests against Israeli transgressions against Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem.

Eyewitnesses reported that trigger-happy Israeli troops shot had killed two young Palestinians who were trying to access their land near the northern West Bank town of Nablus. Initially, the Israeli army claimed the two tried to attack heavily armed soldiers with pitchforks, a claim rejected by the Ramallah- based Palestinian government that described the killings as “cold-blooded murder”. An Israeli army spokesman later said the circumstances surrounding the two deaths were vague and that an investigation into “the incident” would be carried out.

Ghassan Al-Khatib, head of the Palestinian Government Press Office, accused the Israeli occupation army of murdering Palestinians in order to provoke a new uprising — or Intifada — that would divert the world’s attention from the belligerent discourse adopted by the Netanyahu government. “We look at this as part of the Israeli escalation. It could have been treated in a completely different way. But the Israelis have been escalating, and this is something the prime minister [Netanyahu] has been warning.”

More ominous remarks came from Mahmoud Al-Alul, a senior Fatah leader based in Nablus. He told some 2,000 mourners that, “nobody can imagine that we can stand with our hands tied vis-à-vis what is happening.” A day earlier, two more Palestinians were killed and others injured when Israeli troops opened fired on Palestinian youths protesting against Israeli provocations at Al-Aqsa Mosque, one of Islam’s holiest shrines. The Israeli army claimed it used rubber bullets, though they can also prove fatal.

The latest killings in the West Bank coincided with visits to the region by EU Foreign Policy Director Catherine Ashton and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki- Moon. Both visited Israel and the occupied territories, including the blockaded Gaza Strip, voicing their solidarity and sympathy with tormented Gazans, many of whom are homeless having had their houses destroyed during Israel’s brutal onslaught against the coastal enclave last year.

Hoping that the two important visitors would not submit a “negative” report when they return to their respective bases in Brussels and New York, the Israeli government decided to allow them to travel to Gaza via the Beit Hanoun border terminal, also known as the Erez Crossing. Israel previously blocked repeatedly foreign officials from travelling to Gaza via Erez.

In the West Bank, Ban, escorted by Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, saw firsthand how the proliferation of Jewish colonies is seriously inhibiting prospects for the creation of a viable Palestinian state. He called for a total freeze on Jewish settlement expansion, a call ignored by the Israeli government notorious for its disregard of and contempt for the UN.

In Gaza, Ban inspected destruction caused by massive Israeli bombing. He called on Israel to allow building materials to get through to Gaza, acknowledging the fallacy of the Israeli argument that Hamas could use building materials for illegitimate purposes. Ban had earlier met with the family of an Israeli prisoner, captured by Palestinian fighters near Gaza. The UN secretary-general made no mention of the thousands of Palestinians languishing in Israeli prisons and detention camps.

Both Ban and Ashton left Israel-Palestine with a negative impression about the extent to which the Netanyahu government is willing to engage in a genuine peace process that would end the military occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem. Prior to his departure for the US in order to address a major conference of the Jewish lobby and to attempt to mend fences with the Obama administration, Netanyahu told his cabinet and party caucus that settlement expansion would continue unabated. He added that Israel would have to carry out its settlement schemes “quietly, stealthily, and without making a big noise”.

As to recently declared plans to build 1,600 additional settler units in Arab East Jerusalem, Netanyahu vowed to keep building, regardless of what Washington says or does. “Our policy on Jerusalem is the same policy followed by all Israeli governments for the past 42 years. Building in Jerusalem is the same as building in Tel Aviv.”

Netanyahu’s remarks on Jerusalem were rejected by European foreign ministers meeting in Brussels this week. Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn was quoted as saying that the EU was very disappointed by the position of the Israeli government. “I think I can say very clearly that Jerusalem is not Tel Aviv,” he said.

Faced with an uncharacteristically determined American stance on the issue of settlement building, and dismayed by a growing negative impression in Europe — including with close allies such as Germany — about his government’s true intentions, Netanyahu is expected to undertake a number of “goodwill gestures” towards the PA in order to enhance his government’s image in Washington and Europe.

According to Israeli media, Netanyahu might agree to “discuss” all outstanding issues with the Palestinians, release a few hundred Fatah-affiliated prisoners, and allow the entry into Gaza of a limited shipment of building materials as demanded by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Nonetheless, the Israeli premier has refused to revoke plans to build 1,600 settler units in the Ramat Sholomo colony in East Jerusalem. To avoid the kind of embarrassment accompanying the recent visit to Israel by US Vice- President Joe Biden, when Israeli Interior Minister Eli Yeshai announced the new settlement expansion in the occupied Palestinian town, Netanyahu promised a better “oversight system” for the future.

Netanyahu’s tactics suggest he is convinced that the recent tension with Washington is over the timing, not the content, of the settlement expansion announcement. In addition, Netanyahu is trying to achieve two tactical goals. First, return the proverbial ball to the Palestinian court; second, replacing the “Iranian subject” on the top of US agenda while relegating the “Palestinian subject” to a secondary status. Netanyahu may even be harbouring further ambitions, including the acquisition of laser-guided bunker-busters from the US, which Israel could use in an attack on Iranian nuclear installations.

As Netanyahu headed for Washington, US Envoy to the Middle East George Mitchell — who returned to the region this week — urged “both sides to show restraint”. Mitchell was evasive and noncommittal about the issue of settlements, stressing that the important thing was to resume peace talks, even without clear guidelines. Recently, General David Petraeus, head of US Central Command in the Middle East, was quoted as criticising Mitchell’s mission in the region, suggesting that the American diplomat was “too old, two slow and too late”.

New World Order II.

The Ruling Class and World Governance Are Our Nations´ Treason against Us Summary:
This is Andrew G. Marshall´s review of how the world elite have grasped still more power over the last 20 years. The development is controlled by the Rockefeller, Carnegie, Ford Foundations, etc., which have powerful tools in their clubs, Universities, international political organizations like the G20, G8, G5, and the European Union. Now Gordon Brown is calling for a World Bank and world governance. Council on Foreign Relations believes that nation states will be dissolved in the “world governance”: individual state elements: courts, regulatory agencies, corporate executives and even legislatures are in a network with their colleagues around the world, creating a dense network of relations that constitutes a new transgovernmental policy.

It is the most widely used and effective way for transnational governance. Under the world governance, transnational classes of society are being restructured: the international elite, 6000 in the super class, is stateless, working across the borders. Through debt bondage it is actively eliminating the middle class, which is being converted into a trans-national working class, which will be more or less starved to death. The transnational elite have formed a network of trans-national states that have offered parts of their sovereignty to supranational governance bodies. National State has played its role, and in this century it will disappear – there will be a global government– ruling the whole world, says the Council on Foreign Relations.

Thus, “World Governance” is more insidious, more sneaking betrayal than the UNs visible world government. We have seen that the New World Order Club of Rome has described the New World Order as a world communist dictatorial one world state. How are they organizing this silent Marxist revolution? This is an excerpt of Andrew Marshall´s monograph on the New World order – here about the ruling class.

First the author reviews the regional building blocks: The EU/Union for the Mediterranean), the NAFTA/emerging North American Union, the ASEAN, Africa and South America of which the world state is to be built. Conquest of Central Asia is ongoing – endangering world peace in a planned war with Russia (Die Welt 10 May 2009). For, as Obama´s mentor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, said:

“We cannot leap into world government through one quick step…. The precondition for eventual and genuine globalization is progressive regionalization because by that we move toward larger, more stable, more cooperative units.” “This is a form of Socialism known as fascism, and it will be the type of world government the power elite plans ultimately to bring about and control.

In this government, the power elite will control politicians who will become government leaders who will promulgate laws, rules and regulations favorable to certain transnational corporations.”

How the transgovernmentalist class managed to take power of the world Andrew Gavin Marshall, Global Research 13 Aug. 2009: The economic foundations of the current crisis were laid in the “Clinton globalist project.” As Bello explained, “The administration embraced globalization as its ‘Grand Strategy’—that is, its fundamental foreign policy posture towards the world.” Further, “The dominant position of the USA allowed the liberal faction of the US capitalist class to act as a leading edge of a transnational ruling elite in the process of formation—a transnational elite alliance that could act to promote the comprehensive interest of the international capitalist class.”[75]

Out of the ashes of the financial crisis, a new world order will emerge in constructing a global government.

In October of 2008, Gordon Brown said that we “must have a new Bretton Woods – building a new international financial architecture for the years ahead.” An article in the Telegraph reported that Gordon Brown would want “to see the IMF reformed to become a ‘global central bank’ closely monitoring the international economy and financial system.”[88] In an op-ed for the Washington Post, Gordon Brown wrote that the “new Bretton Woods” should build upon the concept of “global governance.”[89]

He also calls for a “global economic policeman,” perhaps in the form of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).[90]

In November of 2008, it was reported that Baron David de Rothschild “shares most people’s view that there is a new world order.

In his opinion, banks will deleverage and there will be a new form of global governance.”[91] In a 1997 article of Foreign Affairs, the journal of the Council on Foreign Relations, Anne-Marie Slaughter discussed the theoretical foundations of the New World Order and explained the emergence of what she called a “new medievalism” as opposed to liberal internationalism.

“Where liberal internationalists see a need for international rules and institutions to solve states’ problems, the new medievalists proclaim the end of the nation-state,” where “The result is not world government, but global governance. If government denotes the formal exercise of power by established institutions, governance denotes cooperative problem- solving by a changing and often uncertain cast.”[27]

Slaughter states that, “The state is not disappearing; it is disaggregating into its separate, functionally distinct parts. These parts—courts, regulatory agencies, executives, and even legislatures—are networking with their counterparts abroad, creating a dense web of relations that constitutes a new, transgovernmental order,” and that, “transgovernmentalism is rapidly becoming the most widespread and effective mode of international governance.”[28]

Slaughter was Dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University from 2002-2009, is currently Director of Policy Planning for the United States Department of State, and has previously served on the board of the Council on Foreign Relations. Classes of Society being restructured under world government In the past few decades, a concurrent class restructuring has been taking place, in which the middle classes of the world descend into debt bondage while the upper classes have begun a process of transnationalizing.

What we have witnessed and are witnessing with recent events, is the transnationalization of class structures, and with that, labour forces. What connects the ruling elite?The transnational ruling elite are stateless. The international system exists only as an intersubjective awareness among people; in that sense the system is constituted by ideas, not by material forces. It is a set of ideas, a body of thought, a system of norms, which has been arranged by certain people at a particular time and place.

A Transnational Capitalist Class (TCC) has emerged, and is a global ruling class. It is a ruling class because it controls the levers of an emergent transnational state apparatus and of global decision making.”[32]

This class has no borders, and is composed of the technocratic, media, corporate, banking, social and political elite of the world. “States could decide “to reduce their sovereignty or even to give up their sovereignty. If that happened there would no longer be an international anarchy as we know it. Instead, there would be a brave new, non-anarchical world – perhaps one in which states was subordinate to a world government.”[33]

There is also a rise in the apparatus of a Transnational State (TNS), which is “an emerging network that comprises transformed and externally integrated national states, together with the supranational economic and political forums; it has not yet acquired any centralized institutional form.”[34]

Among the economic apparatus of the TNS we see the IMF, World Bank, WTO and regional banks. On the political side we see the Group of 7, Group of 22, United Nations, OECD, and the European Union. This was further accelerated with the Trilateral Commission, “which brought together transnationalized fractions of the business, political, and intellectual elite in North America, Europe, and Japan.” Further, the World Economic Forum has made up an important part of this class, and, I might add, the Bilderberg Group. The TNS apparatus has been a vital principle of organization and socialization for the transnational class, “as have world class universities, transnational oriented think tanks, the leading bourgeois foundations, such as Harvard’s School of International Business, the Ford [and Rockefeller] and the Carnegie Foundations, [and] policy planning groups such as the Council on Foreign Relations.”

These “elite planning groups are important forums for integrating class groups, developing new initiatives, collective strategies, policies and projects of class rule, and forging consensus and a political culture around these projects.”[36]

Robinson and Harris identify the World Economic Forum as “the most comprehensive transnational planning body of the TCC and the quintessential example of a truly global network binding together the TCC in a transnational civil society.”[37] I would take issue with this, and instead propose the Bilderberg Group. Bilderberg is simply the most influential planning body, sitting atop a grand hierarchy of various planning bodies and institutions, and is itself a key part of the apparatus of the formation of a Transnational State, but is not a “world government.”

It is a global think tank. The economic crisis is perhaps the greatest “opportunity” ever given to the TCC in re-shaping the world order according to their designs, ideals and goals. To achieve these ends, however, all classes must be transnationalized, not simply the ruling class. Now that there is an established “Superclass” of a transnational composition, the other classes must follow suit. The middle class is targeted for elimination in this sense, because most of the world has no middle class, and to fully integrate and internationalize a middle class, this would require industrialization and development in places such as Africa, and would represent a massive threat to the Superclass, as it would be a valve through which much of their wealth and power would escape them.

Their goal is not to lose their wealth and power to a transnational middle class, but rather to extinguish the notion of a middle class, and transnationalize a lower, uneducated, labour oriented class, through which they will secure ultimate wealth and power. The economic crisis serves these ends, the lower classes of the world, poverty-stricken even prior to the crisis, will suffer the greatest, most probably leading to a massive reduction in population levels, particularly in the “Third World” states. The TCC or Superclass (Rothkopf estimates the number at 6,000 individuals within the ruling class), ….is not immune to such drastic and rapid changes itself.

Constructing the Political Structure of a Global GovernmentStrobe Talbott, Deputy Secretary of State in the Clinton administration from 1994 to 2001, is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission and is currently President of the Brookings Institution: “Within the next 100 years, “nationhood as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. There has always been an overall trend toward larger units claiming sovereignty. Each world war inspired the creation of an international organization, the League of Nations in the 1920s and the United Nations in the ’40s.

The European Community pioneer the kind of regional cohesion that may pave the way for globalism. The best mechanism for democracy, whether at the level of the multinational state or that of the planet as a whole, is a federation, a union of separate states that allocate certain powers to a central government while retaining many others for themselves.”[56]

In a 2001 issue of Foreign Affairs, Richard Falk and Andrew Strauss wrote an article titled, “Toward Global Parliament”: The nation-state is an old-fashioned concept that has no role to play in a modern globalised world.” (61).

Marshall brings many more similar statements. Comment The aim of destroying the middle class and its replacement by the proletariat makes the massive Muslim immigration and the increasing unemployment which the Wall Street Superclass have created in the middle class comprehensible. However, I do not think the New World Order can do entirely without some, reduced, well-educated middle class. The most prominent of the New World Order clubs is no doubt the Council on Foreign Relations, which rules the USA and the world by means of David Rockefeller´s Studies Programme. As seen above the CFR scorns the nation state and favours world governance/world government by an undemocratic corporative clique of transnational corporations, politicians, media people and their masters behind the whole treacherous crime against us:

The architects of the New World Order, the illuminists, for whom the EU states to work (explanatory statement). The globalists are dangling a brave new non-anarchist world before us in their world state – although the process of globalization up to now has begotten increasing chaos, violence and – anarchy because of immigration and parallel societies. The CFR makes a futile attempt to discern between global government and global governance in order to pull the wool over our eyes:“ If government denotes the formal exercise of power by established institutions, governance denotes cooperative problem- solving by a changing and often uncertain cast.” But who decides the “consensus” in a hurry?

Those with the Money: the illuminists and their bought political henchmen: This class has no borders, is stateless. We are being told that the components of our states (courts, executives, legislature governments etc.) lose their independence by networking globally (i.e. receiving orders from the gurus of globalization: The illuminists, whose heads are the Rothschild and Rockefeller dynasties and their tools: the CFR, Bilderberg, the Trilateral Commission, the Club of Rome.

Thus, it comes true: Money governs the world – and it comes from Lucifer´s obedient followers, who have stolen it from us. We are being told that the illuminists want to eliminate the world´s middle class to have just 2 classes: The “Superclass”, the Transhuman gods of the “Age of Transition” in their own imagination, and the underlings to be made robots, the slaves, whose number is to be reduced – the useless eaters. The whole bunch is to be transnationalized, stateless, without character, a herd – not thinking individuals. How far they have already come down that path!!

Only God can stop this madness, for we have been totally hypnotized by these New World Order criminals.

The Power play Within the EU

There must really be some form of power play going on within the EU as to who is ultimately going to run the whole show and is finally going to emerge as being the Beast of Revelation.

I can think of three to four presidents they have right now. The EU president, the president of the EU Commission, the president of the EU parliament, and the president of the six month rotating EU presidency, there are probably more than that? There are presidents for presidents and that doesn’t even into account the EU Secretary Generals.

Talk about confusion, I still question if Henry Kissinger is as confused as what most Europeans must be right now about who is really running the EU and if he is still wondering who to call when he calls Europe?

A new name has emerged, or more correctly an old name has reemerged, revamped, the former French Prime Minister Jean Pierre Raffarin. Actually there was one stage when I pondered the prospect of Raffarin being the Antichrist, but then he seemed to fade into obscurity as most of my suspects eventually do, but now he’s back and back and in full steam.

Allegedly his title is also EU Secretary General and he is assisting the current French president Nicholas Sarkozy in international matters. To view a video of him meeting with the EU president Herman Van Rompuy go to http://vloghvr.consilium.europa.eu/?p=366 Underneath the video he is called the French president’s personal representative to the “Organisation internationale de la Francophonie”

“The Organization international de la Francophone encompasses 56 states and governments and 14 observers from all five continents, who are united by French as a common language. Spoken by 200 million people around the world, French is an official language in 32 states and governments of La Francophone”.

There are so many in fact it would not really come as a surprise that Sarkozy would appoint the former Prime Minister Jean Pierre Raffarin to act on his behalf relative to be the moderator between so many countries. There is simply too much else that Sarkozy has on his plate at the moment as he brings the global nations together into a World Government for him to be everywhere at once.

I am getting Google updates on Raffarin so if there is anything else I can report I would be happy to do so. One may also ponder the question, in the appointment of Raffarin are we seeing the coming together of some form of alliance between the Antichrist and his False Prophet. Remember in these last days we are told in the scriptures that we will see the emergence of Satan, (the boss) his Beast and the helpmate of the Beast, the False Prophet – these three are known commonly the Unholy Trinity.

It’s a little too soon to speculate but we may be looking at a coup de France right here, right now. Remember on this blog I wrote extensively with regards to Pierre de-Boissieu; he was the Frenchmen who were promoted from Deputy EU Secretary General to EU Secretary General as a result of the Lisbon Treaty and his job was to run the machinery of the EU from behind the scenes.

So now we may have the unholy trinity of de-Boissieu, Sarkozy and now Raffarin, all very much French. Our trials and tribulations may have only just begun?

The False Rapture Doctrine of the Harlot Churches

The doctrine relating to the Rapture of the Church is nothing but pure witchcraft, sorcery or another form of occultism and those that believe in it and preach it are nothing more than False Prophets and liars doing the works of Satan and will go to where they belong.

There never has been nor will there ever be a taking away of the church so through that garbage out and concentrate on what the Bible really teaches, the resurrection of the church, but do not mix the two up together as the hypocrites and the harlot churches do.

So my message to anybody that reads this that your simply wasting your time and energy by even thinking of a pre, mid or post tribulation let alone bothering to waste time and energy arguing amongst each other about something that the scriptures does not even teach at all.

Israel Told to Halt its Expansion Plans for East Jerusalem

The Middle East Quartet peace mediators have called on Israel to freeze all settlement activity and say their aim is to create a Palestinian state within two years.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, who led the meeting with representatives from the US, the European Union and Russia, was the latest to condemn Israel’s plan to build 1,600 homes in Ramat Shlomo, east Jerusalem. Mr Ban said: "

The Quartet urges the government of Israel to freeze all settlement activity, including natural growth, dismantle outposts erected since March 2001 and to refrain from demolitions and evictions in east Jerusalem.

“Recalling that the annexation of east Jerusalem is not recognized by the international community, the Quartet underscores that the status of Jerusalem is a permanent status issue that must be resolved through negotiations between the parties, and condemns the decision by the government of Israel to advance planning for new housing units in East Jerusalem."

Also at the talks in Moscow were EU foreign policy chief Baroness Ashton, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and the Quartet’s special envoy, Tony Blair.

The Quartet also expressed hope that condition would be ready for the establishment of a Palestinian state within two years. Nir Chefetz, spokesman for Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, said that discussions Mr Netanyahu had had with Mrs Clinton before the Quartet’s meeting had led to "mutual confidence-building steps" but refused to comment further on how talks might progress.

Mr Netanyahu will meet Mrs Clinton in Washington next week, and US special envoy to the Middle East, George Mitchell, is likely to return to Israel this weekend.

Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erekat has called for a "surveillance mechanism” installed by the Quartet “to make sure that Israel does effectively halt completely all settlement activity in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.” End of quote

This may be some form of a concerted full on push for Middle East peace leading to the signing of the treaty of Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27, - the covenant of the Antichrist.

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27

'EU economic government' proposed by France and Germany

Germany and France have tabled plans to create an "economic government of the European Union" - with new permanent EU President Herman Van Rompuy in charge.

The contentious language is contained in a document prepared for an emergency meeting of the 16 "Euro zone" EU leaders this evening on the sidelines of a summit in Brussels. The meeting is to decide on a "mechanism" for bailing out the crisis-hit Greek economy if necessary, including a "substantial" contribution from the International Monetary Fund.

But the discussion paper put together by Berlin and Paris to restore the euro's credibility also states that the EU should assume economic control in the longer term.

The draft states: "We commit to promote a strong co-ordination of economic polices in Europe. We consider that the European Council should become the economic government of the EU and we propose to increase its role in economic surveillance and the definition of the European Union growth strategy."

The European Council is the formal name for summits of EU leaders which, under the Lisbon Treaty, are now chaired and organized by Mr Van Rompuy, the former Prime Minister of Belgium.

The one-page text is due to be discussed by the 16 Eurozone leaders, but tonight British officials were taking a keen interest in the language proposing "economic government".

They will be concerned about the nation's economic sovereignty; although one official pointed out that the UK Government last January published a paper on jobs and growth which called for an annual EU economic summit and for the EU to take a strong lead in "macro-economic growth across Europe". End of quote.

After having posted the aforementioned article onto the Internet I had noted that nothing was said on the World News in Australia relative to the proposals mentioned above.

There were grandiose proposals mentioned by both France and Germany reltive to a 20 billion dollar bailout plan for the Greece and the other ailing Eurozone countries economies, Spain, Italy and Portugal, but nothing of the plan mentioned above.

Although I have not verified the above information if it does prove to be correct then by handing an economic government over to the EU president we may be looking at a plan that effectively hands all power within the EU over to the newly appointed president Herman Van Rompuy effectively setting him up as a dictator, just as the word of God said would be the case in these last days.

Therefore this is not small news by any means. On the contrary it is news of a magnitude that remains unrivalled ever since the appointment of Van Rompuy himself to the role of the presidency.

Given that the US has rejected Israel’s plan to further expand its settlements into East Jerusalem and the pressure that is going to put onto Israel to comply with the International quartets plan for peace in the region we could be looking at the fulfillment of the Bible prophecies of Revelation Chapter 6 Verse which quite clearly says (when referring to the Antichrist) that he is given a crown and then rides out like a conqueror bent of conquest?

And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. Revelation Chapter 6, Verse 2

Time will tell for as with the case with most of the of the Bible prophecies we cannot accurately forecast their outcome until they have actually taken place.

On the other hand, if Van Rompuy is as I have suggested then we are quite easily able to forecast what all of this is going to lead to by just reading our Bible. There has never ever been a time since I have been writing about Bible prophecy that I have seen events turning out precisely as they are at the moment.

What an exciting time to be alive?

Preparing Americans for hyper-inflation! Figures show America is financially doomed.

These figures are so nightmarish you wonder why they are not being shouted from the housetops in every US city! This is a report from the National Inflation Association, whose sub-heading is: "Preparing Americans for hyper-inflation." There have been many that been warning others for years that when governments print money the end result is that money becomes worthless. Just look at German history and what happened next. Christians know all this is leading to a one-world currency.

Healthcare Bill to Cause U.S. Hyperinflation By 2015

The National Inflation Association today issued a warning to all Americans of a potential outbreak of hyperinflation in the U.S. by year 2015 caused primarily by the healthcare bill and rising interest payments on our national debt.

Medicare was created in 1966 at a cost of $3 billion per year and the House Ways and Means Committee estimated in 1966 that in 1990 the cost of Medicare would reach $12 billion per year. Instead, the actual cost of Medicare in 1990 was $107 billion (792% more than what was projected) and today Medicare costs $408 billion annually. In 2003, the White House Office of Management and Budget estimated that the Iraq War would have a total cost of $50 to $60 billion. So far, we have already spent $713 billion on the Iraq War (over 1,000% more than what was projected).

The Congressional Budget Office is estimating that the healthcare bill will cost $940 billion over the next 10 years, but if history is any indication, the actual cost will likely be several trillion dollars. NIA believes the healthcare bill will be the final nail in the coffin of the U.S. economy and will just about guarantee that we will see hyperinflation by the year 2015.

The U.S. government last week reported a record monthly budget deficit for February 2010 of $220.9 billion. Total tax receipts for the month were only $107.5 billion compared to outlays of $328.4 billion. The total U.S. deficit for the first five months of fiscal year 2010 was $651.6 billion, with tax receipts of $800.5 billion and outlays of $1.45 trillion. The deficit was up 10.5% for the first five months of fiscal year 2010 over the same period in fiscal year 2009.

We are now at a point where if the U.S. government taxed Americans 100% of their income, the tax receipts generated would not be enough to balance the budget. Likewise, if the U.S. government cut 100% of its spending including defense, but kept paying Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, we would still have a budget deficit. NIA believes it will be impossible for the U.S. to have a balanced budget ever again.

The U.S. national debt is now $12.67 trillion of which $8.061 trillion is public debt. Due to the Federal Reserve's artificially low interest rates of 0% to 0.25%, interest payments on our national debt last month were only $16.9 billion, an interest rate of only 2.548% on our public debt. The reason for the spread between our 2.548% interest rate on the public debt and the federal funds rate of 0 to 0.25% is that a portion of our national debt is made up of long-term bonds at higher interest rates.

Our debt ceiling was recently raised to $14.3 trillion, which we are on track to reach in less than a year, sending our public debt up to about $10 trillion. If the Federal Reserve raises the federal funds rate up to just 2% during the next year, NIA believes the interest rate on our public debt could rise to 5% and our annual interest payments will likely rise to $500 billion or 23% of projected 2010 tax receipts of $2.165 trillion.

The White House is not projecting for interest payments on the national debt to break the $500 billion mark until fiscal year 2014. By then, even if we go by White House projections that the deficit will be cut to $828 billion in 2012, $727 billion in 2013 and $706 billion in 2014, in 2014 we will still be looking at a national debt of over $18.5 trillion with a public portion of around $13.14 trillion. We find it shocking that the White House is projecting an interest rate on our public debt in 2014 of only around 4%.

All of this means that the While House expects the Federal Reserve to leave interest rates at artificially low levels almost indefinitely. However, we know it will be impossible for them to do so without creating a huge outbreak of inflation in the prices of food, energy, clothing, and just about everything else Americans need to live and survive. In order to prevent hyperinflation, we need interest rates to be higher than the rate of inflation.

NIA believes the real rate of U.S. inflation to already be approximately 5%. If the Federal Reserve doesn't raise the federal funds rate to above 5% in the short-term, in our opinion, an outbreak of double-digit inflation is inevitable. By 2014, it is possible the Federal Reserve will be forced to raise the federal funds rate up to above 10% and the public portion of our national debt could exceed $15 trillion. Therefore, in 2014 we could see the interest payments on our national debt reach $1.5 trillion, about triple what is currently being projected and 43% of the governments projected tax receipts that year of $3.455 trillion.

Besides the cost of the Healthcare bill and rising interest payments on our national debt, another major catalyst for hyperinflation will be social security payments, which adjust to the CPI-index. As the government's CPI-index rises, so will the social security payments that it owes. This could cause a death-spiral in the U.S. dollar. Inflation is still the last thing on the minds of most Americans, but soon it will be their primary concern.

The History of Pentecostalism -- One Man’s Correct View

The history of the Pentecostal movement is history that many of us have lived through and been eyewitnesses of. When I was a college student in the late 1950s, one Sunday evening several friends and I paid a visit to a Pentecostal church in the area of Franklin and Eastern in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The church was an exclusively black congregation meeting in a ramshackle storefront building. Today, the same worship-shouting, arm-waving, falling to the ground, dancing in the aisles, speaking in tongues--that fascinated us as college students goes on in the mainly white, well-educated, sophisticated Assembly of God Church in its multi-million dollar building on 44th Street in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

I was pastor of a Protestant Reformed congregation in Loveland, Colorado during most of the 1960s and the first half of the 1970s in the midst of Protestant churches that exploded with the charismatic movement. I had to struggle to understand and judge the movement, whether it was friend, foe, or neutral to the Reformed faith.

Later, in the second half of the 1970s in South Holland, Illinois, I witnessed in the village the dramatic playing out of a valiant effort to combine the Reformed faith and the charismatic movement.

Circumstances dictated that the Protestant Reformed Church of South Holland take a stand on the question, whether the Reformed faith and the charismatic movement are compatible and whether a Reformed Church may accept charismatic members. (The valiant effort in South Holland to combine the Reformed faith and the charismatic movement was a failure. The gifted Reformed minister began by insisting that he would complement Reformed orthodoxy with charismatic fervor. He ended by offering his "dusty books of Reformed doctrine for sale cheap" and by trying to raise the dead.)

The history of Pentecostalism is astounding. Whether one is for the movement or against it, he must be amazed at the fact that a movement that began only 100 years ago among a handful of lower-class people (I intend no disrespect; I am deeply conscious that God always delights in the base and no-account) has engulfed Christendom, has become the "third force," and has captivated Roman Catholic cardinals and evangelicals such as Packer and Lloyd-Jones.

The history of Pentecostalism is not only interesting and informative. It is also decisive for determining whether the movement is of God. This is not sufficiently reckoned with in analyzing the movement. The history of Pentecostalism--the history!--is decisive, whether Pentecostalism can possibly be accepted as a movement of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, as it claims, or whether Pentecostalism is of the devil. This, it must be remembered, is our concern in this booklet in obedience to the command of the apostle, "Try the spirits, whether they are of God."

As I relate the history, the reader should keep in mind my assertion at the outset, that the history of the Pentecostal/charismatic movement decides our judgment of the movement. To paraphrase the German philosopher, the history of Pentecostalism is the judgment of Pentecostalism.

My account of the history is not controversial. It is based on the accounts given by Pentecostal scholars themselves, including the Dictionary of the Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements, Donald W. Dayton, Vinson Synan, and others.

The Pentecostal movement was conceived in the womb of Bethel Bible College in Topeka, Kansas on New Year's Day, 1900. The movement was born into the world on Azusa Street in Los Angeles, California in 1906.

Conception is first. Late on the last day of 1899, or early in the morning of the first day of 1900, the itinerant preacher Charles Fox Parham laid hands on Agnes Ozman, so that she would receive the BHS as a second work of grace. Agnes received the baptism and spoke in tongues as evidence of it. This is known in Pentecostal circles as the "second Pentecost."

Birth followed six years later in revival meetings in a dilapidated building on Azusa Street in Los Angeles. The preacher who brought Pentecostalism to the birth--Pentecostalism's obstetrician--was the Rev. W. J. Seymour. He laid his hands on the people in his little group, and they received the BHS and spoke in tongues. Seymour was an amusing fellow. The revivals went on night after night for several years.

Seymour would mostly sit behind the pulpit with his head in an empty shoebox as the lively meeting raged in the room before him. The meetings were wild: tongues, rolling on the floor, falling and lying prostrate, crying, laughing, convulsing, and even levitation. Vinson Synan, himself a Pentecostal and a historian of the movement, gives this description of the meetings on Azusa Street, and of the peculiar behavior of Rev. Seymour:

A visitor to Azusa Street during the three years that the revival continued would have met scenes that beggared description. Men and women would shout, weep, dance, fall into trances, speak and sing in tongues, and interpret the messages into English. In true Quaker fashion, anyone who felt "moved by the Spirit" would preach or sing. There was no robed choir, no hymnals, no order of services, but there was an abundance of religious enthusiasm. In the middle of it all was "Elder" Seymour, who rarely preached and much of the time kept his head covered in an empty shoe box behind the pulpit At times he would be seen walking through the crowds with five- and ten-dollar bills sticking out of his hip pockets which people had crammed there unnoticed by him. At other times he would "preach" by hurling defiance at anyone who did not accept his views or by encouraging seekers at the woodplank altars to "let the tongues come forth." To others he would exclaim: "Be emphatic! Ask for salvation, sanctification, the baptism with the Holy Ghost, or divine healing" (The Holiness-Pentecostal Movement in the United States, Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1971, pp.108, 109).

The relation between the conception of the Pentecostal movement in Kansas in 1900 and the birth of the movement in Los Angeles in 1906 is that Seymour had learned the BHS from Parham at a meeting in Texas.

Soon, people were flocking to Azusa Street from all over Los Angeles, from all over California, from all over the United States, and from all over the world, to get the BHS and bring it home. The direct result was the formation of the Assemblies of God (Pentecostal) Churches in 1914 and the worldwide spread of Pentecostalism.

From 1900 to about 1960, Pentecostal teaching and practices were confined to Pentecostal churches. The established churches looked down on these Pentecostal churches as "holy rollers." This would change in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

The 1960s saw the spread of Pentecostal doctrine and practices into all the established denominations: Baptist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, and even the Roman Catholic Church. This is the charismatic movement, or charismatic renewal, in distinction from Pentecostalism. The charismatic movement is simply Pentecostalism in the previously non-Pentecostal churches. The name "charismatic," which the established Protestant and Roman Catholic churches prefer, suggests that in these churches the special gifts, the "charismata," are emphasized more than other aspects of the old Pentecostalism. Pentecostalism in the established churches is also known as "neo-Pentecostalism."

Largely responsible for the penetration of Pentecostalism into all the churches were a man and an organization. The man is Dennis Bennett, Episcopal clergyman in Van Nuys, California, who told the story of his own BHS in the book, Nine O'clock in the Morning. The organization is the extremely influential Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International (FGBMFI). One effective method of FGBMFI to spread the message of Pentecostalism and gain converts to the movement has been their breakfast meetings. Professional people and leaders in various churches are invited to a breakfast at which a charismatic pitches the message of the charismatic movement.

Pentecostalism became respectable. It crossed all doctrinal and ecclesiastical boundaries and divides. All the churches accepted Pentecostalism and approved the Pentecostal spirit as the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

One later development of the Pentecostal/charismatic movement demands mention: the "signs and wonders" movement of John Wimber and his new denomination, The Vineyard Fellowship. This phase of the charismatic movement claims to possess the power to perform mighty miracles, which promote "church growth." Related is the infamous "Toronto Blessing," characterized by "holy laughing" for hours on end. Wimber's church and movement are not an unseemly aberration. They are part and parcel of the Pentecostal movement as the movement develops the extraordinary gifts. Pentecostals call this development "the third wave" of Pentecostalism.

If the history of Pentecostalism following the birth of the movement in 1900/1906 is astonishing, the history leading up to Pentecostalism's birth is decisive for our judgment, whether Pentecostalism is of God. Pentecostalism derives directly from the theology of the 18th century English preacher John Wesley, particularly from Wesley's teaching of a "second blessing" in the life and experience of the Christian. According to Wesley, there is a second work of grace in the Christian after conversion that brings one to a higher level of salvation: the level of "sinless perfection." This second work of grace is a dramatic act in one's experience at a certain moment. The second blessing is more important than the first, which "merely" gives the forgiveness of sins. Wesley taught that this second blessing, which he also referred to as "entire sanctification," must be sought by every Christian. If the Spirit is to grant this glorious experience, the Christian must fulfill certain conditions.

Wesley's teaching of the second blessing resulted in the "Holiness Movement" in the 1800s both in North America and in England. Revival meetings were held at which the Spirit would grant this second blessing of perfect holiness and a higher Christian life. One of the leading evangelists preaching up this supposedly more wonderful work of the Spirit was Charles Finney. At these revivals, the reception of the second blessing was accompanied by all the strange phenomena that later attended Pentecostalism's BHS.

All that Pentecostalism did was to call Wesley's second blessing the BHS and to insist that the one necessary evidence is tongues, with one notable exception. When Pentecostalism baptized Wesley's second blessing, that is, took it over as the BMS, it changed Wesley's second blessing in one, fundamental respect. Pentecostalism denied that this second blessing, now known as the BHS, consisted of holiness, indeed perfect holiness. Pentecostalism teaches that the BHS has nothing to do with holiness at all. The BHS has instead to do with mystical experience and with power and gifts for ministry. Wesley would have been appalled at this hijacking of his second blessing.

This history, which is Pentecostalism's own account of its history, conclusively proves that Pentecostalism is not of God, and proves that the spirit of Pentecostalism is not of the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Obama Intifada?

Melanie Phillips

Are we seeing the beginning (heaven forbid) of the Obama intifada?

The escalating Arab rioting today in Jerusalem and the West Bank is undoubtedly being stoked up by the fact that the Obama administration has turned so viciously against Israel. Doubtless as a result the Arabs now smell victory within their grasp and may now unleash another wave of violence against Israelis.

Every single one of their recent grievances is not just fabricated but stands history and justice on their heads. The ostensible cause of today's rioting, the re-opening yesterday of the ancient Hurva synagogue in the heart of the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem's Old City, is a typical example of this fanatical moral and historical inversion. The Hurva has been under reconstruction for years. The Palestinian campaign of incitement over it carries the message that Jews cannot build places of worship in their own city. And before anyone says any of Jerusalem is occupied Palestinian territory, it is not and never was 'Palestinian'. In every single attempt to resolve the Middle East impasse, Jerusalem was always regarded as a special case on its own; and from the mid 19th century onwards it has had uninterruptedly a Jewish majority.

The Hurva synagogue has been rebuilt, moreover, because it was twice destroyed by Muslims. Its history, as recounted by Leo Rennert, is testimony both to the uninterrupted presence of Jews in Jerusalem and to the uninterrupted attempts by Muslims to remove that presence:

The Hurva was the the Jewish landmark in Jerusalem in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It was a magnet for early Zionists, religious and non-religious. Theodore Herzl was a visitor, and so were many other Jewish notables from far and wide. The first synagogue on the site was built in 1701. Jews had obtained a loan for its construction from Muslims. But Jerusalem's Jewish community, mired in poverty, couldn't repay the debt, so Muslim creditors destroyed the synagogue.

But Jewish residents, with some outside help, rebuilt the Hurva and turned it into a magnificent landmark...that is, until 1948, when less than two weeks after Israel declared independence, Jordanian forces moved into the Old City and destroyed the Hurva -- with only the great arch left as a reminder of its former glory. And so it remained for six decades. From 1948 until 1967, Jews were barred by Jordan from even approaching the Hurva ruins, just as they were barred from praying at the Western Wall. After Israel captured the Old City in 1967, the Hurva Arch stood for many years as a stark reminder of a sad chapter in Jewish history.

Then a meticulous rebuilding and renovation effort was begun several years ago. It culminated on March 15, 2010 in the official reopening of the Hurva as an exact replica of the 19th-century synagogue, including the surviving Arch, which is now a permanent part of the new Hurva. Henceforth, it won't just be a dramatic reminder of the past; it will resume its age-old function as a place of worship.

And once again it is the target of Muslim attempts to exterminate the Jewish presence in Jerusalem. Yet Obama, who accuses Israel of frustrating the peace process by building in east Jerusalem by agreement with his own administration, is silent over this inflammatory and disgusting Palestinian attack on a Jewish place of worship. It would seem that for Obama peace means the surrender of Israel to Arab violence.

As former New York mayor Ed Koch has said, the pressure the US is now bringing to bear upon Israel is unforgiveable. It is an astonishing demonstration of cynicism and malicious intent. Noah Pollak says that Obama is trying to get rid of Netanyahu by pushing him into a corner. But much worse still, Obamas deliberate decision to escalate what was at most a tactless but minor diplomatic blunder by Israel makes America an accessory to the violence that is now taking place and may get worse. Even this Haaretz writer thinks so:

But perhaps what is most important is this: Palestinians see the Obama administrations decision to attack Israel as an invitation to adopt a more confrontational line. A previous settlement slowdown led Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to exploit the opportunity and make any new negotiations conditional on a total freeze in construction, including in east Jerusalem.

Now signals from Washington have led his political faction, Fatah, to start picking its own fight. A few days ago Prime Minister Salam Fayad called on Palestinians to rally to the Temple Mount to defend Al-Aqsa after Israel announced the dedication of a synagogue next door to the Al-Aqsa mosque. Even the most secular of Palestinian politicians, PLO executive committee chairman Yasser Abed Rabo, joined in the condemnations and warned of an escalation.

The need to defend Al-Aqsa is more than a little exaggerated. The synagogue in question is not on the doorstep of the mosque. It is in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City on a site it has occupied for more than 300 years. But the PA has smelled blood. It understands that the international community will not concern itself with secondary details, such as the fact that the synagogue in question would no doubt remain in Israeli territory under even the most generous future peace agreement. So why not start a riot and blame the Israelis, especially when the U.S. government is doing the same.

Precisely, Middle America, those millions of mainly Christian souls who are Israels staunchest supporters in the world, should be made aware of what their President is doing turning the United States into a betrayer of democracy, human rights and the Jewish people to become no less than an accessory to terror.

Van Rompuy and Barraso - Antichrist and False Prophet?

I have not verified the information that I had recently posted regarding both Van Rompuy and Barroso co-chairing the G20 summits, but it seems to be fairly accurate.

I may be wrong in this of course but if it is spot on then we may be looking correctly identifying the Antichrist and the False Prophet consecutively?

Revelation Chapter 13 tells us there are two beasts. The first beast mentioned comes out of the sea, meaning the Mediterranean Sea. Accordingly, the Antichrist would be appointed as the full time president of the European Council of Ministers - as has been the case with Van Rompuy.

Whereas we are told that the second beast comes out of the earth, meaning the nations; as we know Barroso has been around for quite a while and is the president of the European Union Commission, so he comes out of the nations of the EU.

I do not believe we will have to wait until the Antichrist moves in the temple to identify him but we were able to know who he was by his appointment as the first ever full time EU president.

Now look what has happened, first came the appointment of Van Rompuy and now both he and Barroso intend to co-chair 20 summit meetings; that sequence of events has happened in exactly the order that the prophecies have told us it would.

That being the case it also now looks as if Sarkozy was nothing more than what many have said he was - and that he was simply preparing the way for what is now starting to become a reality.

There is going to be some form of gathering of God’s people on the day of the Lord but I still do not like to use the word Rapture simply because that brings to mind images of millions and millions of people suddenly floating up into the air and into Heaven BEFORE the signing of the covenant of the Antichrist and I simply cannot ever see that happening.

COPENHAGEN POPULATION CONTROL AND WORLD GOVERNMENT

The Copenhagen summit on climate change is now nothing more than past history. There was nothing really achieved out of it except to lay the groundwork for further meetings on Climate Change

There is a very strong possibility that an outcome of those meetings may be some form of a treaty that is to be agreed at around about the middle 2010, more than likely June. Those series of meetings will be hosted by the French president Nicholas Sarkozy, and will take place in France.

If as the title of this article suggest climate change is all about creating a crisis to bring forth a world government then those series of meetings may be extremely important to those that are looking at world events reltive to Bible prophecy.

That is, if there is some form of a seven year covenant signed we may be looking at correctly identifying the Antichrist as he signs of on a treaty, if there is to be a seven year treaty at all at this particular time in history?

There have been so many for so long that have been looking for a seven year Middle East covenant to correctly identify the Antichrist. However this may not necessarily be so when Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27 simply says a covenant with many. There is no mention there at all of the Middle East.

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

I am also not able to find anything whatsoever in the Bible that teaches anything about a false doctrine that has recently been invented called the Rapture. So there will be no Rapture before or after the signing of the covenant of Daniel and many Christians will either have to relinquish their faith or die for their beliefs.

Most will choose the former but those true Christians that do not will either die by the reintroduced French guillotine, or be imprisoned for their faith, (See Revelation Chapter 13) but not all, as some will flee to the mountains and escape the brutal 42 terror reign of the Antichrist.

What I have mentioned above is indeed a frightening scenario – but it is going to happen and could happen very soon so that is why I am wring this article to warn others of what may just be around the corner.

All are welcome to post comments but due to past bad experiences I do not get into arguing or debating those that choose to do so as this can more often than not be a road that leads to nowhere.

British admit: Copenhagen Population Control World Government

The official British two-pronged policy for the Copenhagen Conference is now out‚ in explicit language. It consists of: 1) massive population genocide‚ on a scale that would make Adolf Hitler blush‚ and 2) the establishment of a world government with policing powers to cap carbon emissions‚ to tax every advanced sector nation to the extent of two per cent of GDP per year‚ and to impose a global levy on all global financial transactions‚ among other draconian provisions.

Regarding the genocide‚ the Fabian Society’s London School of Economics‚ the anchor of the Fabian Gordon Brown government (the chief organiser of the Copenhagen Conference)‚ has produced a study for Copenhagen‚ released by the British government-backed Optimum Population Trust (OPT)‚ calling for the reduction of world population by between three to five billion people between now and 2050. This flagrant call for mass extermination is based on the argument that the single greatest cause of (non-existent) global warming is overpopulation‚ and that the most “cost-effective” cure for global warming is radical population reduction.

This is not just the “opinion” of one way-out nutty group: The Copenhagen conference is itself being sponsored by the U.N.‚ and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) tapped the OPT’s director‚ Roger Martin‚ to present the UNFPA’s own State of World Population 2009 report on the 16th November‚ in the lead-up to Copenhagen.

Former Thatcher government adviser Lord Christopher Monckton blew the whistle on the proposed World Government on the Alex Jones radio show on 9th December. Monckton‚ who is in Copenhagen attending the UN climate summit‚ said that when he attempted to obtain a copy of the 180-page current draft of the negotiating text agreement‚ he was initially rebuffed before he threatened an international diplomatic incident unless the document was forthcoming. “I insisted‚ and it took about 10 minutes and they consulted each other with three or four of them arguing over it—none of them would produce the document … I said I know this treaty exists because this is what the conference is all about‚” said Monckton.

Monckton went on to elaborate precisely how the 180-page treaty draft would establish a world government‚ replete with around 700 separate bureaucracies‚ and powers of taxation‚ inspection and enforcement over individual nation-states. Developed nations‚ for instance‚ will be taxed to pay the World Bank to fund developing nations‚ but such funds will only be forthcoming for those developing nations if they meet stringent criteria. The treaty also outlines‚ said Monckton‚ “penalties or fines for non-compliance”‚ in developed countries‚ and the creation of an international police force to “enforce its will by imposing unlimited financial penalties on any countries whose performance under this treaty they don’t like”‚ adding that that it amounted to a total global government takeover on an “unimaginable scale”.

Briefed on Monckton’s findings‚ American statesman and physical economist Lyndon LaRouche charged‚ “What this 180-page document represents is a policy worse than Hitler‚ which is the policy behind the Copenhagen summit. And the people who are proposing this‚ therefore‚ are subject to trial for genocide. Anybody who proposes this‚ becomes subject to a subsequent trial for genocide‚ by a future Nuremberg proceeding. Beware! Do not propose this; you may be subject to a future Nuremberg proceeding!”

LaRouche further called on China and India‚ who are coming under excruciating pressure to capitulate‚ to stick to their positions going into Copenhagen and to walk out if faced with mandatory emissions restrictions: “Stick to what they agreed to; stick to it! Don’t worry about the differences; stick to it! Screw this thing up! Destroy it now‚ and get rid of it!

“The issue here is that some governments are in a sense ducking the issue‚ pretending to accept conditions which they intend to defy in fact. But the point is‚ then they will become targets for destruction on that basis. It’s better to defy than to try to evade. Defiance promotes unity; compromise promotes destruction.”
