The Book of Enoch EXPOSED!

By David J. Stewart

Is the Book of Enoch really a lost book of the Bible? A born-again Christian who has been reading the Bible for several years only needs to read the "Book of Enoch" briefly to know that something is very wrong. There are so many obvious flaws with this alleged missing book of God's Word. It is clear to me that someone copied from the Bible and wrote this garbage. The same type of mumbo-jumbo can be readily observed in the Qur'an. I do NOT believe that Enoch, who lived during the time period of Genesis, wrote this manuscript. Evidently the King James translators didn't either, and for good reason. The Devil is working relentlessly to corrupt God's Word, as he has been doing since the Garden of Eden, when he caused Eve to doubt God's Word. Satan is so shrewd that he even tried to confuse our Lord by misinterpreting the Scriptures in Matthew 4:1-10. In these apostate times, the Word of God is under attack like never before. The reason why is simple... if Satan can pervert the Word of God into a lie, then he can control the masses!

The Book of Enoch Teaches Heresy!
To the Biblically ignorant reader, the Book of Enoch might have an appeal; but to a believer grounded in the Scriptures, the Book of Enoch is packed full of heresy. For example:

We read in chapter 40 of the Book of Enoch...
1 And after that I saw thousands of thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand, I saw a multitude
2 beyond number and reckoning, who stood before the Lord of Spirits. And on the four sides of the Lord of Spirits I saw four presences, different from those that sleep not, and I learnt their names: for the angel that went with me made known to me their names, and showed me all the hidden things.
3 And I heard the voices of those four presences as they uttered praises before the Lord of glory.
4 The first voice blesses the Lord of Spirits for ever and ever.
5 And the second voice I heard blessing
6 the Elect One and the elect ones who hang upon the Lord of Spirits. And the third voice I heard pray and intercede for those who dwell on the earth and supplicate in the name of the Lord of Spirits.
7 And I heard the fourth voice fending off the Satans and forbidding them to come before the Lord
8 of Spirits to accuse them who dwell on the earth. After that I asked the angel of peace who went with me, who showed me everything that is hidden: ‘Who are these four presences which I have
9 seen and whose words I have heard and written down?’ And he said to me: ‘This first is Michael, the merciful and long-suffering: and the second, who is set over all the diseases and all the wounds of the children of men, is Raphael: and the third, who is set over all the powers, is Gabriel: and the fourth, who is set over the repentance unto hope of those who inherit eternal life, is named Phanuel.’
10 And these are the four angels of the Lord of Spirits and the four voices I heard in those days.

The Bible never mentions an angel named Phanuel, let alone an angel who is set over the repentance of those who inherit eternal life. What blasphemy! That statement in itself contradicts everything the Word of God teaches. We read in 1st Timothy 2:5 that Jesus Christ is the ONLY Mediator between God and men, not some angel named Phanuel... "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." Repentance is strictly between a man and Jesus Christ alone. Only Jesus died for our sins, and shed His blood to pay for them (1st Peter 1:18-19); therefore, we must be diligent to guard and defend against LIARS and imposters who would lead people to believe otherwise. 1st John 2:22 clearly indicts all Christ-deniers as LIARS, guilty before God.

Here's chapter 48:1-3...
1 And in that place I saw the fountain of righteousness Which was inexhaustible: And around it were many fountains of wisdom: And all the thirsty drank of them, And were filled with wisdom, And their dwellings were with the righteous and holy and elect. 2 And at that hour that Son of Man was named In the presence of the Lord of Spirits, And his name before the Head of Days. 3 Yea, before the sun and the signs were created, Before the stars of the heaven were made, His name was named before the Lord of Spirits.

Was the Son of Man named? When was Jesus named in Heaven? This is an attack on the deity of Jesus. Jesus Himself claimed in Revelation 1:8, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." Jesus is Eternal, without beginning or end. Head of Days? Lord of Spirits? These terms are NOT found in the Bible. IF the Book of Enoch were valid, composing well over 100 chapters, there should be numerous New Testament references to it; but there aren't. Although some people claim that the Bible quotes the Book of Enoch over 100 times, this is simply not true. Just as the Qur'an, the Book of Enoch borrows from the Word of God. In sharp contrast to the Book of Enoch, the New Testament often quotes the Book of Genesis.

We read in the Book of Enoch, chapter 69:8-12...
8 ...And the fourth was named Penemue: he taught the
9 children of men the bitter and the sweet, and he taught them all the secrets of their wisdom. And he instructed mankind in writing with ink and paper, and thereby many sinned from eternity to
10 eternity and until this day. For men were not created for such a purpose, to give confirmation
11 to their good faith with pen and ink. For men were created exactly like the angels, to the intent that they should continue pure and righteous, and death, which destroys everything, could not have taken hold of them, but through this their knowledge they are perishing, and through this power
12 it is consuming me.

What ... man's wisdom came from a demon named Penemue? That's crazy! Did ink and paper cause the fall of the human race? Whoa ... I'd better through all my fine-point pens away immediately! It was Adam's sin that brought sin into the world (Romans 5:12); not evil literature. Mankind is inherently evil of himself, prone to the works of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21). The Charismatics (Pentecostals) give far too much credit to demons for the sinful actions of men. They believe that every sin a person commits is evidence of demon-possession. That is absurd! Men and women sin because they are sinners! (Romans 3:10,23). Although demons definitely influence mankind to do evil, the ultimate decision is OURS. The Devil cannot force anyone to sin. People need to stop blaming demons and the Devil for their sins, and start looking into the mirror. God has promised to help His children live right... "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it" (1st Corinthians 10:13). No excuses!

The Book of Enoch Speaks Mumbo-Jumbo
As you read the Book of Enoch, you will notice a big difference between it and the genuine Word of God. The Bible is readable, from cover to cover, it tells a story. In sharp contrast, the Book of Enoch appears to be mocking the Word of God, quoting phrases here-and-there from the Bible, without any meaningful logic or order. This, coupled with a bunch of added mumbo-jumbo, makes the Book of Enoch a ridiculous piece of literature to even consider inspired by God. As a person progresses deeper into the Book of Enoch, they will eventually find the Books of Adam and Eve fascinating as well, and then they will be into New Age occultism without even realizing it. Don't be fooled friend, the Book of Enoch is occult material that will lead you into the senseless mysticism of pagan religion. The fact that it's being paraded to the public nowadays on Walt Disney's History Station as a SHOCKING revelation, should be a clear warning sign where this is all headed. The credibility of the Word of God is under malicious attack. Here's what the History Station is teaching people about Sodom and Gomorrah.

The Book of Enoch uses unfamiliar terminology, referring to the "Lord of Spirits" and the "Head of Days." These terms are foreign to the Word of God. The messiah is NOT directly mentioned. The ambiguous mention of what may or may not be the Lord Jesus in the Book of Enoch, is eerily reminiscent of Freemasonry (who worship the "Great Architect" ...an undefined, ambiguous, universal god). This is the false god of New Age. It is worthy to note that Christ's deity is not evidenced in the Book of Enoch.

It appears that many statements in the Book of Enoch were taken from the Bible, and then built around with mumbo-jumbo. Many terms from the Biblical Book of Revelation are quoted in the Book of Enoch; but without any sense or reason (in sharp contrast to the Bible). All 66 Books of the Word of God perfectly intertwine with each other, presenting a clear prophetic picture. The Book of Enoch doesn't offer anything of doctrinal value, because it's bizarre teachings stand alone (i.e., unable to be supported with Scriptures). Some defenders of the Book of Enoch contend that Jesus often quoted from the Book of Enoch. Prove it! Every Scripture Jesus ever quoted is found in the Old Testament, without any reference to a Book of Enoch. The strongest argument in favor of the Book of Enoch is found in Jude 1:14, "And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints." Since this quote is NOT found in the Old Testament, some scholars have used this fact in an attempt to legitimize the entire Book of Enoch. We read in chapter 1:9 of the Book of Enoch...

And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones To execute judgment upon all, And to destroy all the ungodly: And to convict all flesh Of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.

However, there is no Biblical record of a "Book of Enoch." There is NO doubt that Enoch made these statements as Jude 1:14 confirms; but that doesn't necessarily mean that he authored the entire Book of Enoch (or ANY of it for that matter). It's a question of who copied who? And remember, the Author of the Bible is GOD; not men... "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost" (2nd Peter 1:21). To elevate the Book of Enoch to the level of God's Word is dangerous, unless it is truly God's Word! If Enoch did write the Book of Enoch, it raises the natural question of whether or not the work was inspired by God? The King James translators,48 scholarly men skilled in the Hebrew and Greek languages, DIDN'T! Many godly men today write good books; but they are still flawed human beings, prone to sin, who aren't always doctrinally correct in every area. It would be a great evil to recognize their writings as EQUAL with God's Word (the Bible). Jesus condemned following the TRADITIONS of men over the commandments of God (Mark 7:6-13). Even king David warned against trusting men rather than God (Psalm 118:8). This is why Seventh-Day Adventists are a false religion, because they elevate the writings of Ellen G. White as EQUAL with the Bible. Scientologists do the same, by elevating the writings of Ron Hubbard as EQUAL with the Bible. Catholics are woefully guilty of elevating the teaching of the Vatican, fabricated over the centuries, as EQUAL with God's Word. Regardless of whether Enoch wrote the Book of Enoch or not, it is abundantly clear to the Biblically-sound believer that it is NOT inspired by God. It is also possible that Enoch's preaching was exploited and deliberately misconstrued after his death. The FACT of the matter is that the Book of Enoch is clearly a watered-down, heretical, manuscript filled with mumbo-jumbo. Unlike the Bible, the Book of Enoch doesn't appear to be going anywhere.

The Book of Enoch is a square peg which just doesn't fit anywhere. The wording is vague--a popular method of deception which Satan uses! Listen to the average televangelist these days and you'll get a watered-down sermonette; but hear no clear Gospel presentation. The occult is all about confusing people, which is why so many otherwise decent men join such a Satanic organization as Freemasonry. Benny Hinn's website appears to present the basic Gospel; but he is a known Catholic, who believes good works are necessary for salvation. You'll NEVER hear Benny Hinn condemn Catholicism or teach that ADDING good works to faith alone is a road to Hell. If you ADD anything to the simple Gospel, you've perverted it (Galatians 1:7). Every hellbound Catholic believes that Jesus died, was buried, and rose again, and that the blood of Jesus takes sin away. Tragically, they are also trusting the sacraments (baptism, Eucharist, etc), the Rosary, the Virgin Mary, the Church, good works, etc, etc, etc. Religion NEVER saved anybody. Don't give me the old-time religion--GIVE ME JESUS!

People 450-Feet Tall?
Are you really gullible enough to believe that fallen angels had physical intimacy with earthly women that produced offspring 450-feet tall? I don't think so! We read in chapter 7:12-15 of the Book of Enoch...

7:12 Whose stature was each three hundred cubits. These devoured all which the labor of men produced; until it became impossible to feed them;
7:13 When they turned themselves against men, in order to devour them;
7:14 And began to injure birds, beasts, reptiles, and fishes, to eat their flesh one after another, and to drink their blood.
7:15 Then the earth reproved the unrighteous.
A "cubit" is 1.5 feet. The ark which Noah built was 300 cubits long (Genesis 6:15). Do you mean to tell me that some women had children who were as tall as the ark was long? You've got to be joking! Such foolish conjecture is a violation of the simplest teachings of the Bible. In Genesis 6: we read, "There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown." I think Pastor J. Vernon McGee interprets this Scripture exactly right...

It says, “There were giants in the earth in those days,” but it does not say they are the offspring of the sons of God and the daughters of men. It does say this about the offspring: “the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.” These were not monstrosities; they were men. The record here makes it very clear that the giants were in the earth before this took place, and it simply means that these offspring were outstanding individuals.

Humanity has a tremendous capacity. Man is fearfully and wonderfully made—that is a great truth we have lost sight of. This idea that man has come up from some protoplasm out of a garbage can or seaweed is utterly preposterous. It is the belief of some scientists that evolution will be repudiated, and some folk are going to look ridiculous at that time.

Evolution is nothing in the world but a theory as far as science is concerned. Nothing has been conclusive about it. It is a philosophy like any other philosophy, and it can be accepted or rejected. When it is accepted, it certainly leads to some very crazy solutions to the problems of the world, and it has gotten my country into trouble throughout the world. Anyone would think that we are the white knight riding through the world straightening out wrongs. We are wrong on the inside ourselves! I do not know why in this country today we have an intelligentsia in our colleges, our government, our news media, and our military who think they are super, that somehow or another they have arrived. It is the delusion of the hour that men think that they are greater than they really are. Man is suffering from a fall, an awful fall. He is totally depraved today, and until that is taken into consideration, we are in trouble all the way along.

Then what do we have here in verse 4? As I see it, Genesis is a book of genealogies—it is a book of the families. The sons of God are the godly line who have come down from Adam through Seth, and the daughters of men belong to the line of Cain. What you have here now is an intermingling and intermarriage of these two lines, until finally the entire line is totally corrupted (well, not totally; there is one exception). That is the picture that is presented to us here.

We also read in 1st Corinthians 15:39-40, "All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another." There you have it ... celestial (heavenly) and terrestrial (earthly) are NOT compatible. Just as a fish cannot breed with a horse, or a cow with a whale, so cannot a fallen angel breed with a woman. Also, Jesus clearly taught that the angels are NOT given in marriage (Matthew 22:30). We know that there were giants in the Old Testament; but as seen with Goliath the Philistine (1st Samuel 17:4), he was only 9' 6" tall (not 450 feet). Giants in the Old Testament were NOT the result of fallen angels marrying human women. And think about this, if fallen angels did have physical relations with earthly women, then why doesn't it occur today? There is no such thing as a succubus or an incubus (i.e. sexual relations between demons and humans). Furthermore, how could a woman give birth to a normal size baby that would then grow to be as tall as half the length of a football field? 'Com on, please be real. Although the Bible does contain may miraculous and startling events (e.g., the flood), they are all explainable and have rationale. Where are the skeletal remains of those 450-feet tall monsters? It is clear that many unsaved scholars today are trying to discredit the Bible as a book of fables, which is what the Book of Enoch certainly is. The Word of God is untouchable, unchangeable, and incorruptible!

We read in the Book of Enoch, chapter 69:4-6...
4 The name of the first Jeqon: that is, the one who led astray [all] the sons of God, and brought them
5 down to the earth, and led them astray through the daughters of men. And the second was named Asbeel: he imparted to the holy sons of God evil counsel, and led them astray so that they defiled
6 their bodies with the daughters of men. And the third was named Gadreel: he it is who showed the children of men all the blows of death, and he led astray Eve, and showed [the weapons of death to the sons of men] the shield and the coat of mail, and the sword for battle, and all the weapons.

Without a doubt, the primary claim of the Book of Enoch is that fallen angels had sex with human women and produced 450-feet tall giants upon the earth. This teaching is ridiculous, unscriptural, and has no solid evidence to support it (Biblically or scientifically). This is another good reason why the Book of Enoch should continue to be rejected. It is nonsense. Also, notice in 69:6 above that the Book of Enoch claims that a demon named Gadreel led Eve astray and introduced weaponry to mankind. How absurd. The Bible identifies the serpent which deceived Eve in the Garden of Eden as Satan (Ezekiel 28:13).

Conclusion
The reason why the early church fathers and the King James Bible translators rejected the Book of Enoch as inspired of God, WASN'T to hide the truth; BUT, because it isn't the truth. The Book of Enoch is a fraud, an imposter, and straight from Hell. I triple-dog dare you to try cross-referencing the Book of Enoch with the Word of God ... good luck! When I read in chapter 1:9 of the Book of Enoch that an angel named Phanuel is "set over the repentance unto hope of those who inherit eternal life" ... I knew the Book of Enoch was fraudulent. Salvation is found ONLY in Christ Jesus, "Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." King David said in Psalm 62:6, "He (Jesus) only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved." Phanuel... you're a fraud! Jesus is the ONLY Way, Truth, and Life (John 14:6).

The truth is that Satan is a murderous thief, who's sole purpose of existence now is to kill, steal, and destroy (John 10:10). Satan hates the Word of God, because It is his greatest enemy in this world. Therefore, Satan seeks to destroy the Bible. If he cannot destroy the Bible, then he tries to corrupt the Bible by changing it (Romans 1:25; 2nd Peter 3:16). If Satan cannot destroy or corrupt the Bible, then he tries to introduce "new" so-called "lost books" of the Bible to confuse people. It is NO coincidence nowadays, in this time of great apostasy--when homosexuals are being given in marriage, when babies are being murdered by the hundreds-of-millions worldwide through abortion, when witchcraft is all around us, when booze and gambling are commonplace, when sexual sins and lasciviousness have saturated society, when churches are silent concerning sin and false religion--that we should see all these "new" so-called revelations concerning the Bible. Here's an article I wrote exposing the Book of Judas, and another exposing The Jesus Papers. Don't be fooled, the King James Bible is a complete Book, and a Fine Book indeed. By the way, if you are using a New International Version, please throw it away! God promised in Psalm 12:6,7 to preserve His Word unto all generations, and He wonderfully has, in the precious King James Bible.

Is Christopher Monckton, 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley another suspect for the Antichrist?

There are a lot of fellows floating around the world scene at the moment that one could possibly classify as being the Man of Sin? Already on this blog I have made a few comparisons between some of those possible suspects.

That being said there are some who are saying that we shall not know just who the Antichrist is until he moves into the newly built temple in Jerusalem, when the word of God quite clearly says that we shall know just who he is a long time before that date once he confirms a seven year Middle East peace treaty between the Jews of Israel and the Palestinians.

The correct Bible verse for that is Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27

King James Version (KJV)
27And 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.

Over in Australia at the moment we have BRITISH climate change sceptic, Lord Christopher Monckton, preaching to the unsaved with his series of talks on various subjects such as the World Government, Global Warming, and so on.

Christopher Monckton is a man of many talents and I may not be overestimating him to call him an extremely intelligent man, if not sheer genius?

While having enormous success with his endeavours, there is something that is beginning to raise alarm bells relative to the man in question.

Who is he, and what does he want? Is it simply money, or is there really a lot more behind this man than meets the eye? You decide for yourself as the world awaits the arrival of the saviour, the man of peace, the economic mastermind etc.

Is this the man the world has been waiting for or is all of this just another one of the figments of my fertile imagination?

Already on this blog I have made several references to the Christopher Monckton but as has been mentioned above there is really something that is beginning to twig comparative to this man, even though he seems from outside appearances to be a saviour, but is that really the case at all?

A good link to look at is this one as it describes Christopher Monckton past and current history

The general sense of terror I sense from Christians relative to the Mark of the Beast

In Revelation Chapter 13, Verses 16 to18 there is a very clear mention in the word of God which speaks of a new system of buying and selling right at the end of the age known as the Mark of the Beast.

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

We are also told in Revelation Chapter 14 the punishment for those who take the Mark of the Beast is eternal Hellfire. That alone is a fairly good reason to avoid taking it. Perhaps, but only just perhaps, that is the reason I sense a great deal of fear and trepidation from those who claim they are Born Again Christians relative to the Mark of the Beast?

9: And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10: The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12: Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

After all, we all have to buy and sell in some form or another to live.

It seems to me that the general foreboding that I am sensing from not only some of those who have left comments on various blogs relative to the subject matter, but the general community of Christians in general, seems to stem from the sense of uncertainty some must be feeling as to whether they will be able to live in the world once the Mark becomes compulsory.

Or more correctly, how they will be able to still live in the world by buying and selling AND AVOID TAKING THE MARK once it becomes compulsory...

Of course, there are going to some that are going to disagree with these comments and that certainly is their prerogative to do so.

However, the answer to the aforementioned dilemma is relatively simple; those who truly belong to the Lord will not have to take the Mark of the Beast because they will miraculously be provided for even when it becomes compulsory.

And secondly, it has already been tried on Born Again Christians and it does not work.

So how is the Antichrist going to brainwash someone whose mind he cannot control?

The answer to that is relatively straightforward, he cannot.

Choose against the Mark of the Beast
Every person will be required to choose between 2 options. Please carefully consider these 2 options:

1. Get the mark of the beast – You will be worshiping the beast. The beast is Satan claiming to be God. You will be able to buy and sell. Many people will like you. You can keep your job and your house. But you will soon receive the full wrath of God, poured out without mercy. You will die forever.

2. Refuse the mark of the beast – You will not be able to buy or sell. People will hate you. You will lose your job, your house and most likely your life. But God will have mercy on you and if you believe in Him and worship Him you will live again, forever.

Worship God or Satan?
Every person on earth will worship one of two beings. Either it will be the true God of heaven or it will be the beast, who is Satan claiming to be God.

There is only one way to receive eternal life and one name to believe in to receive salvation.

“the name of Jesus Christ . . . Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name

under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:10-12

There are many ways to be lost and many false gods to worship. The beast will have 666 approved names that all claim to be God but are all false.

Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." Matthew 7:13,14

Each person will either take God’s name or take one of the beast’s 666 names. God has only 1 name and 1 way – the right way. Satan has 666 names, 666 ways – all wrong.

Whose way will you choose? Whose name will you choose? Whom

The Australian Carbon Tax and Apocalypse 2012

There has been a great deal of discussion in the news of late over here in Australia relative to the introduction of an new and insidious Tax - a so called Carbon Tax. When for example this tax will more than likely increase the cost of some of the basic living essentials, such as electricity, by a massive 10% the main gripe relative to the tax is that the cost of living will skyrocket out of all proportions.

Of course, that is only the tip of the iceberg. Even as the cost of the electricity increases for basic household use, the cost of the electricity that is being utilized in industry will also have to increase in price as well...

Therefore, because of that price increase of electricity in industry anything produced over here that requires the use of electricity, (which includes just about everything) will have to be passed onto the consumer. Thereby making everything else go up in price. And so, on and on the vicious circle goes.

Enabling goods to be produced at a far cheaper rate than what they are here, there is also the very distinct possibility that as a result of this tax more and more jobs over here in Australia are going to be deported overseas.

Here is what Climate sceptic Lord Christopher Monckton says about the carbon tax

BRITISH climate change sceptic Christopher Monckton – who will speak at Noosa tomorrow – has labelled the carbon tax as “unnecessary” and “discriminatory”.

Lord Monckton told the Daily yesterday that climate change was not serious enough to warrant a carbon tax which, if implemented, would discriminate against working-class Australians.

The controversial former news paper editor said the Federal Government’s estimate that the tax would reduce Australia’s carbon emissions 5% below 2000 levels by 2020 would make “absolutely no difference” to climate change.

“This is cruelty on an unprecedented scale, in that millions are now dying of starvation – not because of global warming but because of crass and cruel policies governments are implementing for the purpose of trying to save the planet,” Lord Monckton said.

The hereditary peer, who travels the world questioning the extent of climate change and who will give two talks at The J at Noosa tomorrow, claimed the carbon tax would be disastrous for the economy.

He said it would make the nation even less competitive against rapidly growing economies like China, where “s***” wages and employment benefits meant Australia was already at a major manufacturing disadvantage.

“In every way this is going to cause huge damage to Australia’s ability to compete in the world marketplace, and for absolutely no climate benefit,” he said.

“People have seen right through this, and seen right through it because they know that in the end they pay for it through their taxes and through their jobs.”

Lord Monckton said he was confident the Coalition would repeal the tax if it won the next election. End of quote

But there is far more than that involved in this tax than what the average consumer in the streets of Australia is even aware of, as I am about to point out.

While most of the Australians and small businesses over here are concerned about their hip pocket nerve and how much it is going to cost them, what most are unaware of is what this tax is all about? What it all about is setting up a New World Order, or World Government.

Effectively, most of the money that is syphoned off from those who can least afford it for this so called Carbon Tax is going to be sent off overseas to go towards the establishment of a Single World Government.

The facts of the matter are that it is going to cost a massive 780 billion dollars just for the administrative side of the NWO. Accordingly, the money that is going to be made from the Carbon Tax is nothing more than Australia's contribution to what is nothing more than just another form of communism. That is all the World Government really is, just another form of socialism or communism.

Known as the Tower of Babel, the ancients tried to build a tower to Heaven and as a result of this God became very angry and destroyed the tower and divided the people up into different nations speaking different languages. However, the NWO is really nothing more than a modern version of the Tower of Babel. As surely as God destroyed the ancient Tower of Babel he is going to destroy its modern day version, the NWO, as well. Of that you may be certain!!!

As that is the case I will end this little transcript with a warning. As this may be the last one you will receive relative to what is about to befall this once great nation of Australia it may be best if you, the reader of this, takes notice of what I am about to say.

Once this new and insidious tax becomes law in 2012 and the money is starting to be sent off to help to set up this NWO, then effectively we as a nation are going to be in the deepest trouble imaginable. When what I have just mentioned starts to happen, in actual fact, we will be a very intricate part of the World Government.

As a result of this great sin God is not going to turn his back on what we have done with the obvious result being that we are going to suffer as a nation like we never have before.

Now there just may be some out there who are reading this and are saying right now, "well I didn't vote for the Gillard government so I am not really responsible for whatever this government does". Nevertheless, the facts of the matter are that what we are dealing with here has really nothing or very little at all to do with a Carbon Tax but is the result of Australia as a nation having turned our backs on the one true God in favour of the other false God of materialism.

Now we as a nation are going to be punished for allowing ourselves to sink into this hole of spiritual darkness.

The aforementioned statement does not apply to those who are already handed their lives over to Christ but only to those who still continue on in rejecting the only true and living God, the Lord Jesus Christ... Accordingly, for those who are reading this my best advice would be for you to repent before it is too late as those who have not done so are even now running out of time. God bless all who come to this blog.

There may as yet be other implications other than those presented relative to that holiday photograph of Sarkozy and Bruni and the Arnolfini Marriage?

There still remains something that is really quite eerie or spooky, and really out of the ordinary relative to the Arnolfini Marriage by Flemish artist Jan Van Eyck. In fact, with everything that is revealed in the painting I am sure that there must have been books that have been written relative to the enormous amount of detail that is actually shown in the painting?

When I look at these two, Nicholas Sarkozy. and the very pregnant Carla Bruni, together, in the attached photograph taken while they were on their holidays, and then look at the ancient artwork of the Arnolfini Marriage by Jan Van Eyck mentioned beforehand, there is really something that really seems to twig in, and in a big way.

It is almost like I am looking at the same thing all over again? The two figures in the ancient painting seem to be the same figures in the photograph? Accordingly there is yet another thought that has occurred to me that may be a lot closer to the mark than the original analogy presented in the article "Has Satan Revealed the Correct Identity of the Antichrist Through Visions - Resulting in Paintings?" The pregnancy of Carla Bruni is the glue that really begins to raise alarm bells.

Remembering that the artist, Jan Van Eyck, allegedly had a vision of the Antichrist and painted what he had seen in his vision. If that is the case then what if the figurine on the left hand side of the ancient painting is none other than the current French president Nicholas Sarkozy and the pregnant female on the right hand side of the work is Carla Bruni?

Even if that were so that is not to say there still maybe a possibility that Tony Blair may still have some sort of a role in the end times in that there still may be a very distinct possibility He is the False Prophet, and it is Sarkozy who is the Antichrist after all? There are still so many out there who believe this to be the instance of the matter.

Remember this - it is the False Prophet who is the religious side of the Antichrist/False Prophet team and with Blair as the head of his interfaith group that seems to fit in nicely with what has been prophesied?

But that still does not mean to say that Blair would not still be appointed as the next EU president. Nevertheless, even if he were and Sarkozy is appointed as the head of the IMF - then effectively that would then mean that it would be Sarkozy who would have more authority than Blair? Therefore, at the end of the day it would be Blair who would be helping Sarkozy, and not vice versa as I thought may have been the case?

Either way, there does not seem to be any real doubt at all that the correct identity of the Antichrist will not be known until he confirms the treaty of Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27? Until that happens we will really not know just who the Antichrist is, or the False Prophet for that matter, so let us just wait and see how all of this eventually pans out in the end.

The Shroud of Turin and What It Represents

The Shroud of Turin is a centuries old linen cloth that bears the image of a crucified man. A man that millions believe to be Jesus of Nazareth. Is it really the cloth that wrapped his crucified body, or is it simply a medieval forgery, a hoax perpetrated by some clever artist?

Modern science has completed hundreds of thousands of hours of detailed study and intense research on the Shroud. It is, in fact, the single most studied artifact in human history, and we know more about it today than we ever have before.

The Shroud is a single piece of linen cloth about 14 feet long by 3 feet wide. The twill is a 3 over 1 herringbone weave. It is bloodstained and shows faint front and back images of a man who, by the visible wounds appears to have been crucified. He seems to be resting in in burial repose.

The bloodstains
The bloodstains on the Shroud are composed of hemoglobin and give a positive test for serum albumin. Numerous tests confirm that the blood is real human blood.

The images
The Shroud's images are superficial and fully contained within a thin layer of starch fractions and saccharides that coats the outermost fibres of the Shroud. The coloration is a caramel-like product or the product of an amino/carbonyl reaction. Where there is no image, the carbohydrate coating is clear. There is also a very faint image of the face on the reverse side of the Shroud which lines up with the image on the front of the cloth. There is no image content between the two superficial image layers indicating that nothing soaked through to form the image on the other side.

Until recently, it was widely believed that the images on the Shroud of Turin were produced by something which resulted in oxidation, dehydration and conjugation of the structure of the fibres of the linen itself. This has been shown to be incorrect. The images are now understood to reside within a coating a coating of raw starch and various saccharides.

The images as they appear on the Shroud are said to be negative because when photographed the resulting negative is a positive image.

The Turin Shroud was examined with visible and ultraviolet spectrometry, infrared spectrometry, x-ray fluorescence spectrometry, thermography, pyrolysis-mass-spectrometry, laser microprobe Raman analyses, and microchemical testing. No evidence for pigments (paint, dye or stains) or artist's media was found anywhere on the Shroud. Nor is any photographic emulsion found on the Shroud.

The Peculiar 3D Phenomenon of the Shroud of Turin Image
For simplicity, let's confine our discussion to black and white pictures. The Shroud, after all, is monochromatic: brown and white actually.

Like any painting or photograph of a face or an entire human body (or for that matter a vase, apple or any three dimensional object) brightness represents light. Look at a full frontal picture of a man. The tip of his nose approaches white and the depth of the recesses of his eyes are darker. The roundness of his face from his cheeks towards his ears is progressively darker. At first glance, the face on the Shroud of Turin appears to be such a picture. It isn't.

How do we know this?
All regular pictures, be they paintings or photographs, represent light coming from some direction and being reflected towards our eyes. The eye of the painter or the camera lens is a proxy for our own eyes. The reason the recesses of a man's eyes are darker than the tip of his nose is because less light gets to into the recess. Image analysis shows us that this is not so with the facial image on the Shroud. There is no direction to what seems like light. Something else is causing the lighter and darker shades. That is looks like light to us is an optical illusion.

Look at the black and white picture that looks like a smoke ring. We might think that this is light reflected off of the smoke. It is not. This is an analogue data file of elevation, sometimes called a bump map in the world of computer graphics. With special computer software we can plot the data, the brighter and darker tones, as an elevation. That is exactly what we can do with the image on the Shroud of Turin: plot it as an elevation.

Let's be clear: You cannot plot a regular photograph this way. Nor can you do so for a painting, even a brown and white painting. You can do so with a precise copy of the Shroud, however.

Not only does this show that the image on the Shroud is not a photograph or painting, it shows that something extraordinary occurred to form the image.

Concluding,
There does not really seem to be any great doubt at all that the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, has left us an image of his earthly appearance which undoubtedly shows his outside persona as he was when he walked here on the earth amongst men. After all, his physical self was shown to the disciples, his mother, the Roman soldiers and many, many others who he made contact with while here on the earth as he walked and talked and preached.

As that is the case, then why would it not be plausible that he would reveal his earthly appearance to those here on the earth after he had been crucified and descended up into Heaven?

However, the outside appearance the world was shown while he was here on the earth was only the outside shell and was not the real appearance of Christ of Christ as we will see him after we descend up into Heaven ourselves. That appearance shall be far more radiant and glorious than what we have seen for the short time he was here.

There are several mentions in the word that tell us that instead of being rugged and handsome and charismatic he was nothing more than an ordinary looking man in so many ways. After all, if he were all of those things while he was here on the earth (and was not just an ordinary looking sort of a fellow) there are some whom he may not have saved if that were the case?

Accordingly, he would have had to have looked just the same as everyone else. For that reason so what he looked like while here on the earth is neither here nor there as far as this fundamentalist Born Again Christian is concerned.

However, what the Shroud of Turin does show us by the miracle it represents that it proves beyond any doubt at all that the son of God was here on the earth and that he was sent here as the saviour of mankind as an ordinary looking man which is more important than what he may have looked like while he was here. However, as has been mentioned above that fact alone does not really count for all that much at the end of the day. God bless all who come to this BlogSpot.

Carbon pricing means 'bye bye Oz' says climate change sceptic Lord Christopher Monckton

There is no other subject matter being discussed with more regularity and verocity on the late night radio stations that I listen to in the wee small hours of the morning than the Climate Change debate gripping the nation at the moment.

They used to say Global Warming, but as most of those who have any real savvy about them now say the planet is cooling down and not heating up?

Accordingly, the terminology of Global Warming has now changed to Climate Change.

The facts of the matter are that the planet has been going through one climate change after another for as long as man has been around here on the planet. Climate Change is evidently only the pretext for the introduction of a Carbon Tax?

More and more of the general population are now starting to become aware of just what this carbon tax charade is really all about as most of the money to be made out of this new and insidious tax is (of course) is going to be syphoned off to set up a New World Order - or World Government.

Independent Senator Andrew Wilkie has already given his approval for the new tax. What a vain and stupid fellow he really is?

The Australian Prime Minister Ju-liar Gillard, is going to address the nation today to try and sell what her political masters have quite clearly told her to introduce into law - something that is so evil that it really defies description - the Carbon Tax.

It now seems that those who were saying the idea of a World Government a few years ago was nothing more than another one of those wild and fanciful conspiracy theories have now done a complete turnaround and are openly admitting on public radio that the idea of a New World Order is not as ridiculous as what they first thought it was.

The late and great Barry R Smith said in that in order for nations to accept a New World Order, each and every nation had to be systematically destroyed through an ominous and ever-increasing dangerous system of taxation. The plan was that after the nations had been brought to their knees by being taxed to the hilt they would readily accept the New World Order without hardly a whimper at all being uttered.

That is exactly what is going on at the moment, just as the planners behind the New World Order had planned it all along with this new and insidious Carbon Tax being brought in even right now as I write this piece.

There really does not seem to be any real rhyme or reason attached the introduction of a Carbon Tax other than for the reason that I have mentioned above, and so the wealth of the nation redistributed out of the hands of the average person and into the hands of the very few global elitists? In other words sheer greed, and to benefit just a scant few of the worlds populace.

At the moment we have a great man visiting Australia. He is climate change sceptic Lord Christopher Monckton and here is what he had to say relative to the Carbon Tax.

IT'S "bye-bye Australia" if a price on carbon is introduced, British climate change sceptic Lord Christopher Monckton says.

During a colourful presentation in Sydney today, Lord Monckton had a message for Prime Minister Julia Gillard.

"Julia, baby, you're not going to introduce a carbon tax, because if you do, it's bye bye

Australia," he said to roars of approval from the few hundred paying audience members.

Lord Monckton said he had come back to Australia to give his "right of reply" to former prime minister Kevin Rudd, who he said "made some very rude remarks about me".

"But Rudd, baby, you're gone," he said.

And Ms Gillard - who Lord Monckton said has also made some rude remarks - should watch her step.

"Julia, darling, I'd be very careful before you do that again. Look what happened to the former prime minister.

"It may happen to you."

Lord Monckton declined to devote much attention to climate change adviser Professor Ross Garnaut, "bless his cotton socks", but he derided the $180,000 salary Tim Flannery is receiving as chairman of the government's new Climate Commission.

Nor did the ABC escape Lord Monckton's scorn after his stormy interview with Sydney radio presenter Adam Spencer this morning.

Referring to the ABC as a "high-heeled woolly, weirdy, beardy set" that is largely funded by the taxpayer, Lord Monckton told the audience, "I think you ought to stop paying."

Lord Monckton ended the presentation with a rousing set of questions to the audience, which gave him a standing ovation.

"Do we want a carbon tax? Do we need a carbon tax?"

The rousing answer was "No".

Speaking to reporters after the presentation, Lord Monckton was more forgiving towards the ABC, which he said had apologised to him for that morning's episode.

In an unprecedented move, Spencer hung up on his guest before calling back to resume the heated interview.

"It doesn't reflect very well on the ABC," Lord Monckton said.

"But what does reflect well on them is that afterwards, both the producer apologised and then (Spencer) rang and apologised in person and I think the appropriate thing for me to do in the those circumstances is to forgive them all and god bless the ABC."

Lord Monckton maintained that introducing a price on carbon would be "economic suicide" for Australia.

"A nation which utterly forgets to try to make sure that what it offers to the world is at least within shouting distance of the price of what others are offering... will soon go out of business and as a nation die and fade away," he said.

"This could be the end of an independent Australia. You may think I'm overstating this, but just sit and watch."

The Dreaded Planet X Destined to Return to the Earth in 2012?

A catastrophe ominously looms on the horizon. Planet X, a huge planetary body, or star, is headed our way. Described as a great "Red Star," the path of this approaching, heavenly object puts it on a potential, head-to-head collision course with our planet, Earth.

Apparently, Planet X (a.k.a. Nibiru) was spotted by astronomers in the early 1980′s in the outermost reaches of the Solar System. It has been tracked by infrared observatories; seen lurking around in the Kuiper Belt and now it is speeding right toward us and will enter the inner Solar System in 2012. So what does this mean to us? Well, the effects of the approach of Planet X on our planet will be biblical, and what’s more the effects are being felt right now. Millions, even billions of people will die, global warming will increase; earthquakes, drought, famine, wars, social collapse, even killer solar flares will be caused by Nibiru blasting through the core of the Solar System. All of this will happen in 2012, and we must begin preparing for our demise right now…

A lot of weight had been placed on the end of an ancient Mayan calendar, the “Long Count”. According to this calendar and Mayan myth, something is going to happen on December 21st, 2012. Now the world’s Planet X supporters seem to have calculated that this hypothetical, deadly planet will arrive from a highly eccentric orbit to wreak gravitational havoc on Earth, sparking geological, social, economic and environmental damage, killing a high proportion of life… in 2012.

"But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light. And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory." (Mark 13:24-26)

If you haven't heretofore heard of the mysterious and deadly Planet X—so-called because it is said to be a newly discovered yet ancient tenth planet for our solar system—believe me, you will very soon. Doomsayers are predicting the marauding planet's elliptical orbit will bring it near to the earth by this spring or summer.

Smashing Into Earth
One book recently published predicts Planet X will smash into, or blindside, the Earth soon, within the next few months, causing untold chaos, with the Earth literally tilting on its axis. The ensuing upheaval will spawn horrific hurricanes and unparalleled tornadoes, floods, and volcanic blowouts, and leave other planetary calamities in its wake.

Many pseudo-astronomers and perennial astronomical doomsayers point to Zechariah Sitchin's works in which the British scientist/author alleges that a planet named "Nibiru," which travels an orbit from the other side of Pluto to earth on a 3,600 year cycle, causes manifold disasters each time it makes a pass. They say this is now the time for Nibiru to return.

Some cite other names for Planet X, including "Wormwood." This is prophetic since the Holy Bible does, in fact, prophesy catastrophic earth changes to occur due to a star by this name:

Revelation 8:10-11
And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp…And the name of the star is called Wormwood…and many men died…

While the more dramatic accounts forecast Planet X's arrival later this year, some maintain the shattering spectre will occur later, in 2012 (the last year on the Mayan calendar), or even 2078. Others claim it could be thousands or even millions of years before the tenth planet orbits near Earth once again.

Surprisingly, a number of professional astronomers at the world's top observatories share the view that there is a tenth planet out in space. Scientific reports conclude that the gravitational pull of this tenth planet, a planet not now observable by most telescopes, is already disturbing the heavens and causing what the astronomers call "perturbation."

Planet X and The Secret Doctrine
Significantly, Freemasonry and the occult world have long awaited the arrival of Planet X. The occultists, in their Secret Doctrine, teach that the ancients once worshipped gods and deities, mighty men of renown, who came to Earth from the heavens, from a planet star called Sirius.

The Egyptians knew this star, Sirius, as Dogon, the "Dog Star" and worshipped it under its guise as Anubis, the jackal-headed god. From its name were also derived the names of the chief deities of the Egyptian religion and culture, Osiris (Lord of the underworld) and Isis (the star goddess).

Noah and The Giants
Amazingly, the Holy Bible, in Genesis 6, describes an early time in the days of Noah when these star gods—in reality, Satan and the fallen angels, the Nephilim—committed the abomination of mating with the daughters of men, producing hideous hybrid. These supernatural offspring the Bible calls "giants." It was because of the unimaginable wickedness and sin of these hybrid man/beast "giants" that God decided to cause a flood to overflow the earth and destroy them all. Only Noah, whose blood and DNA were unpolluted, and his family survived the great flood.

The myths of the pagan religions of Sumeria, Babylon, and Egypt often told of lizard-like, reptilian ancient astronauts visiting earth, mating with women, and worshipped by ancient mankind as powerful gods and goddesses. Now, many New Age teachers and occultists are gladfully and expectantly proclaiming the soon return of these strange hybrid "dieties."

Yet, for whatever reason, God permitted a small number of the Nephilim to appear again years after the Noahic flood, and in Deuteronomy these monstrous, half-human creatures are called the Anakim, or Rephaim (literally—the "Congregation of the Dead!")

What's more, the Scriptures prophesy the return of these satanic mighty men, these evil "giants," in the last days. Yet, not as gods, but as devils! In Matthew 24:37-39, Jesus warned that as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be when Christ comes once again. Moreover, the return out of the abyss of these "stars" fallen from heaven shall be accompanied by incredible, mind-boggling signs in the heavens. As for Earth, the prophet Isaiah prophesied that mountains shall fall down and the planet will "reel to and fro like a drunkard."

Worse, even as one tragedy after another exacts its bloody toll on humanity, the Bible tells of the powerful beings who shall be unleashed from the bottomless pit and come abroad to torment men and women. Described with frightening impact in Revelation 9, these entities have a Star, or "King," over them, "which is the angel of the bottomless pit." Indeed, Satan himself shall be their leader of these "fallen ones."

Now, as we near that ominous, prophesied Last Day signalling our Lord's coming, false religions such as Mormonism and Scientology, and Illuminist secret societies such as Freemasonry, the O.T.O., The Priory of Sion, and the Order of the Solar Temple, loudly and cheerfully are proclaiming the return of their star gods, to accompany the approach of the Sirian-related, star planet Nibiru, more better known as Planet X.

Increasingly, we are being inundated with tales and accounts of UFO abductions, alleging that men and women are being taken into spacecraft and sexually used to create human/extraterrestrial hybrid beings. Does this have some connection to the Genesis, Chapter 6 account?

Extraterrestrials Among Us—The Dark Truth
This, then, is the great Hidden Secret behind the heralded coming again of Planet X and its star gods and goddesses.

The movie moguls are telling us that interplanetary creators of humankind, our saviors and overlords, are soon to descend. As depicted in a score of UFO accounts, sci-fi stories, and blockbuster movies such as ET—The Extraterrestrial, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Wars, the Jedi sagas, and so many more, these supernatural beings love us and wish to guide us peacefully into a New Age of intergalactic harmony.

This teaching is at the very core of the Secret Doctrine of Helena Blavatsky's Theosophy, of L. Ron Hubbard's Scientology, and of Freemasonry's Sirius mystery teachings. However, the events surrounding the return of Planet X—The Dark Red Star on a Collision Course with Earth, are much, much more unsettling than what the expectant world has been duped into accepting as fact.

The truth, my friends, isn't "out there somewhere," as they proclaim on the popular TV series, The X-Files. It's found only in the prophetic pages of the Holy Bible. Isn't it time therefore, that Christians asked, what does God have to say about the tumultuous coming of Planet X?

The ancient and hideously marred Secret Doctrine taught by the occult world and by Freemasonry and other satanic sects tells of the return of supernatural "giants" from outer space accompanying the cyclical return of the mysterious Planet X.

Dominique Strauss Kahn - the Patsy

There seems to be something right out of the ordinary going on at the moment relative to the arrest, (and then release) of the former head of the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss Kahn, over allegations of sexual assault against a hotel maid?

The implication from this quarter is this whole event has been nothing more than a charade to displace Strauss Kahn as the head of the fund so that France's former finance minister, Christine Lagarde, can be stratically placed into the role in preparation for the current French president, Nicholas Sarkozy, to take it over in that role at a later date.

There is a very strong possibility that may happen once his current position as the French president becomes unsustainable?

According to the Bible prophecies, that will take place just after the second EU president is appointed next year? In the position of the EU presidency we will see the Antichrist come to power, aided and abetted by his False Prophet.

After we had seen Lagarde appointed as the new head of the IMF, just coincidentally, new and fresh evidence then came to light to suggest Dominique Strauss Kahn's accuser had less than the requirement of real credibility to be taken really all that seriously at all. How strange is that?

The result of this new and fresh evidence is that the case against Strauss Kahn was more or less dismissed. What that means is that he is now in the position to contest the next French elections. If successful will take over from the Nicholas Sarkozy sometime next year, which was his original intention anyway. (Just quietly, it also seems to have been the intention of other people as well, such as the likes of the Illuminati??

How convenient is that? If it were any more convenient then I would say that Dominique Strauss Kahn has been set up for a specific purpose so that he could be moved aside for the time being until other more important people are positioned into place to take over the roles they were ultimately destined for?

There is a very distinct similarly between Christine Lagarde and the current Australian Prime Minister Ju-liar Gillard. Both are female and both were former Lawyers. Just as Gillard has stuffed up Australian with her constant and continuous mismanagement of the tax payers money I am betting Lagarde will also stuff up as the head of the International Monetary Fund so that she can be replaced by Sarko when the time is right.
However let us just wait and see if all of this eventually pans out as I have suggested above?

Israel From the Perspective of the Bible

The Bible is emphatic that God ordained the Jewish people as His vehicle to bring Jesus into the world to redeem all who trust in Him. The Bible is also emphatic that, despite Israel's rejection of Jesus, God will someday obtain national righteousness from Israel, and a remnant will "look upon Him" whom their fathers pierced (John 18:37). During the thousand years of righteousness under Christ's rule, Israel will give their Messiah the praise and honour due to Him.

Yet, because Israel has not yet experienced such a change of heart, but rather, opposes Christ and his followers, our Lord and New Testament Scriptures warn Christians to be suspicious of the "whited sepulchers" of a religion based on the teachings of those who killed Christ, the Pharisees. Christ said, "beware of the leaven (teachings) of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy." (Mark 8:15) Paul said of the Jews, "beware of the concision." (Philippians 3:2) He also said of the Jews, that "from the standpoint of the gospel" they are enemies for your sake. (Rom. 11:28)

The balanced Christian, thus, recognizes God's long-term plan for the redemption of a remnant of Israel. At the same time, he is very wary of a system which, rejecting great light, has plunged into great spiritual darkness. Tragically, the church has been unable to retain this Biblical balance and perspective during the 20th century. Believing that to "bless" Israel means agreement with it and support of its policies, right or wrong, the church has bid godspeed to a wicked system. Far from redeeming it, it has become a partaker of Israel's injustices. By supporting Israel's atrocities against Palestinians, the church has alienated the Arab world against the gospel and encouraged the growth of international Arab terrorism.

Only by returning to the Biblical balance between love for Jewish souls, yet wariness of their sins, can the church escape moral blame and the kind of geo-political backlash from the Arab world that occurred on September 11, 2001.

Only 30% of US Evangelical Leaders Stand Behind Israel

Increasingly, tens of thousands of Christians visit Truthtellers.org and Rense.com, the largest anti-Zionist internet news site with over one million unique visits a month (Rense.com's readership now equals World Net Daily, the largest Christian pro-Israel internet news service).

This trend toward greater openness to a truly Biblical perspective is seen in a new Pew Research poll of 2,196 evangelicals worldwide, 16 percent of which included evangelical leaders in the United States. "Among evangelicals from the United States three-in-ten (30%) sympathize more with Israel. Thirteen percent favour Palestinians and nearly half (49 percent) say they sympathize with both equally.

The survey showed that many evangelical leaders do think for themselves about the Mideast, particularly after Israel's embargo in Gaza and terrorist attack on the "Free Gaza" flotilla. Many clearly reject pressure to support Israel by Jewish muscle groups such as ADL as well as evangelical media and authorities. John Hagee-style support of Israel does not describe all evangelicals!

Several Political Parties Also Hears Truth about Israel In AmericaTwo years ago, the National Prayer Network began sending our e-alerts to 850 evangelical chapters . Within several weeks, about 185 chapters demanded removal from our e-list. But soon the objections stopped. For nearly two years, about 650 chapters have received our articles with hardly a murmur. Clearly, they remain curious and tolerant of truth they find nowhere else.

Many evangelicals and may well be adding to the number of enlightened Christians worldwide. Independently and in the grassroots, their fairness, good sense, and respect for Biblical values may be planting the seeds for eventual enlightenment of the church and nation.

Why Don't They Speak Out?
Yet why are pastors and church leaders silent? As in Israel under Baal-worshipping Ahab and Jezebel, the powers of intimidation are overwhelming. God was worshipped by a tiny minority in Israel who had not bowed the knee to Baal.

Yet when Elijah challenged the false prophets, not one true believer had the courage to brave death and stand with him.

Today, militantly Zionist evangelicals swell the ranks of churches. If they hear the slightest hint of displeasure with Israel, they sound the alarm, "Anti-Semitism!" This sends shock waves through the membership of religious and conservative organizations, compelling leaders to quickly back away. The Anti-Defamation League relies on such devotees of Israel to suppress any potential rebellion. When criticism of Israel manifests itself publicly, ADL has traditionally used local media and Christian authorities to vilify the critic as a hateful anti-Semite. Local media figures, Christian leaders and seminary professors join in excoriating the offender.

This has been ADL's modus operandi for nearly a century. But today criticism of Israel pervades the nations, especially prevalent on college campuses. Abe Foxman’s shooting gallery is too crowded by influential, high-profile targets—including the UN, European politicians, prestigious academics, a new Gaza flotilla, and others. The League is increasingly too distracted to persecute mere local outbreaks of truth telling.

Like terrorists, ADL has largely depended on fear of what it can do if opposed. Yet Christian and conservative leaders should take courage. Like the watchman of Ezekiel 33, they are responsible before God to sound a complete warning of danger to all who listen. Scripture warns such watchmen that unless they are willing to speak only the whole truth, they would be better off not to lead. Failure to speak such truth results in "greater condemnation." (James 3:1)

It is time that evangelical leaders who are becoming enlightened do more than silently agree with truth. They must speak it to their audience and to each other. Brave leaders could educate together and overwhelm ADL's ability to crush individuals.

If the Pew report is representative then, of roughly 70,000,000 evangelicals worldwide, Christian critics of Zionism could number in the millions! This consensus represents tremendous political and educational power if those with like minds have the courage to find each other and coalesce into a united force for truth and freedom.
