FALL OF THE USA
Fall of the United States
Let me first share with you how many ways God has confirmed this revelation. The Lord has taught me not to share revelations with others on the spur of the moment without giving them enough Scriptural foundation so they could believe. This mistake makes more of an opportunity for others to be offended unnecessarily. I had been teaching end time revelations in conferences and tours across the U.S. when I was asked by the man who set them up about the timing of the fall of the U.S. I gave him a very quick answer and he disagreed with me. Because my answer clashed with his theories he would not have scheduled any more speaking engagements for me but the Lord had other plans. Later in that Fall of 2003, his son dreamed that “I had called his dad with a new revelation from God on the judgment of America that was spoken of by Dumitru Duduman”. When he told me of his son’s dream I told him that indeed I had been given that revelation. Then in May of 2004 he had a dream of his own. “I went to dig up a dark suit that I had buried. When I did and dusted it off the Lord spoke to me and said, ‘That is David Eells’ suit.’” (I almost always taught in a dark suit.) He said this was the first time a speaker’s name was given to him in a dream and that the Lord impressed him to make opportunity for me to speak again, so he “dug me back up”.
When he related this to me I asked the Lord to give me a dream or vision to confirm if this next tour was His direction for me. After going to bed I received either a dream or a vision in a semi-awake state:
I was on the East Coast by the Atlantic Ocean with my third child, Nathan. He decided to go for an afternoon swim. I thought he would go in the Atlantic but instead in a few steps he walked over and swam in the Gulf of Mexico and then walked over and swam in the Pacific. Wherever he swam there was a pipeline leading from the water to hotels that were inland. After that he was back with me like it was just a walk across the street.
After waking in the morning I got the interpretation. My third child represents my third fruit and a solid confirmation that I was to bear fruit for the Lord through a third teaching given on a third tour. Nathan means “given”. Nathan’s quick and easy travels from east to west revealed our jet travels across the U.S. sharing this revelation. As in the book of Revelation, the waters represent the peoples who were to be piped into the hotel conference rooms inland. To make a long story short, we carried this revelation to twelve main cities across the U.S. where the saints received it enthusiastically. After this revelation, I remembered that I had had this as a dream months before but had not understood it. Joseph said, “And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh, it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass” (Gen.41:32). When we had both concluded that this was indeed God’s will, he asked me to pray on what I was to share. I was told to share on “The Fall of America and Rise of the Saints”. Then I remembered his son’s dream that “I had called his dad with a new revelation from God on the judgment of America that was spoken of by Dumitru Duduman”. I will share that revelation in these last three chapters.
That night I told the Lord that I was spiritually and physically exhausted from all the work, and that if He wanted me to do this on top of everything else, I needed Him to strengthen me. Around 2:00 a.m. I was suddenly wide awake and sensed a holy and powerful presence in the room. I don’t know if it was the Lord or an angel. For some reason beyond my control I did not open my eyes but I knew everything that was happening in the Spirit. My visitor walked over and sat down on my bed next to me. I even felt the mattress depress where He sat. Suddenly I felt waves of glory washing up and down my body. It was so invigorating that I called out, “Lord, what is this?” Immediately I was reminded of my request for strength if the Lord wanted me to take on this extra burden. I then saw a vision of myself being strengthened as I lay on the bed. Although I am a thin person I saw my body beef up as the waves washed over me. After my visitor left I didn’t sleep all night but felt totally strengthened in the morning.
Twice God did miracles with my air flights to make sure this revelation got to the people. I had wondered to the Lord why He had me on so many connecting flights, so He did something about it. While waiting in Atlanta to catch my flight to Chicago we were told that the plane had developed mechanical problems and they did not have a replacement until later in the evening. Feeling great peace and thanking God, I went to reschedule and they put me on a flight straight to Indianapolis, where I was scheduled to speak, bypassing Chicago where we had already shared this revelation. That evening we heard on the news that Chicago was snowed/iced in and people were sleeping in the airport. I would have missed my engagement if God had not broken that plane and shortened my trip. On another flight I arrived at Baltimore/Washington Airport too late to catch my flight to Atlanta. On top of that I had to leave the security zone to go to the ticket counter for my boarding pass. The agent told me that it was impossible to make the flight and I would have to reschedule, especially since I would have to go back through security to be checked. I rescheduled, grabbed my receipt, and took off for security and my boarding gate. When I finally made it there, probably fifteen minutes later, they were beginning to board. I gave my receipt to the agent at the gate and she printed me a boarding pass. When I took a moment to look at the pass I was confused. I checked my original pass and, sure enough, it was the same flight number that I was originally scheduled on. I asked the agent how it was possible that I was rescheduled on the same flight and she just shrugged her shoulders with a confused look on her face. On top of that they were leaving on time, and looking at my watch, no more than five minutes had elapsed from the time I left the ticket counter outside security. I was amazed! I thought, “Father, what did you do with that time?” We serve an awesome God!
FOR WHOSE SAKE IS THE U.S. JUDGED?
Many Christians make the mistake of thinking that judgments are befalling the U.S. because she will not repent. The truth is that only the Christians who have the knowledge and power to obey are responsible to repent. God’s real concern is not for this world but His people, who are living in it and loving it. Jesus said, “I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine (Jn.17:9). He said, “I chose you out of the world” (Jn.15:19). Make no mistake; it is God Who is working all things together for our good. God’s irresistible plan is to separate His kingdom from the world, the spiritual from the carnal, before the end. Jesus said in Matthew 10:34, “Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword (the Word). (35) For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law: (36) and a man’s foes [shall be] they of his own household.” The Word will divide the righteous from among the wicked. It will also judge the wicked and save the lovers of truth.
When God’s people blur the line between the world and His kingdom, He has to redefine it. Sanctification is the process of separating us from the worldly. God says in 1 Peter 2:9 that we as Christians are “a holy nation”. Friends, we are already in a one world government called the kingdom of God. This one world Christian nation should not be confused with the worldly geographic, secular nation that we live in, but it is. This will shock some of you “God and country” folks, I know, but the U.S. is not the kingdom of God, for Jesus taught, “My kingdom is not of this world”. Only they that are born of God live in His kingdom and its borders are not those of the U.S. division. In God’s plan is necessary when His people do not confess or represent Him to the world. When the world can tell no difference in the lives and methods of Christians, God acts to sanctify them. As of this writing, God’s people are far from the Biblical example of Christians. Before the exodus, God’s people were content to be Egyptians, so “He turned their (the Egyptians) heart to hate His people, to deal subtly with His servants”. He did not want them to be comfortable in their allegiance to the world and they needed to recognize their enemy. Jesus promised the same for our day. (Mt.24:9) Then shall they deliver you up unto tribulation, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all the nations for my name’s sake. The U.S. is part of this world which will hate us so that God’s nature, character, and authority will be manifested in us. As it was in Moses’ time, God’s people will cry unto the Lord and He will send salvation and revival to separate them from their enemies.
Historically God’s people have always gone through cycles of sinning with the world, to being hated and chastened by a beast kingdom, to repentance, to God sending revival and salvation. Through the Bible we see that God’s people go through this cycle eight greater times with the world-ruling beast kingdoms. As a type of this, in Judges they went through the same cycle eight lesser times with smaller beast kingdoms (Jdg.2:11-, 3:7-, 12-, 4:1-, 6:1-, 8:33-, 10:6-, 13:1-). It always started like this: (Jdg.2:11) And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and served the Baalim. This represented God’s people serving another Jesus, which caused Him to turn them over to their enemies. (14) And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that despoiled them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies. Then they repented and God raised them up a man-child who He used to save them. (3:9) And when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved them.
Both Israel and the Church were chosen by God to represent Him to the world but fell into apostasy. In an attempt to bring Israel to repentance He appointed six major beast kingdoms to conquer them. Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Media-Persia, Greece, and Rome, were raised up to bring Israel to repentance. The seed of these individual kingdoms will corporately live in the end time seventh dragon kingdom of Revelation 12 and eighth beast kingdom of Revelation 13. These worldwide stages of the U.N. Revived Roman Empire of seven heads and ten horns will be raised up to persecute worldwide New Testament spiritual Israel, the Church. The Lord showed me that what each of the previous individual beast kingdoms did to individual Israel is a type of what the last corporate worldwide beast kingdom will do to corporate worldwide Israel. They also show us types of the U.S. in its coming persecution of the saints and fall to the last beast kingdom. Please be patient while I show you mounting, overwhelming evidence of when this fall will take place.
WAS THE FALL OF THE U.S. DELAYED? WHY?
Leading up to the year 2000 there were many accurate dreams, visions, prophecies and Bible codes of an imminent pre-tribulation destruction of the U.S. in a world war. You ask, “How could they have been true since they did not come to pass?” God can change or delay what He speaks to you as a warning through prophets, dreams, visions or thorough His Spirit in many ways. However, God will not change what is written in His Word. (Ps.119:89) For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven. His Word is likened unto a rock, immovable, and unchangeable. Because of this fact, the Word is a sure prophecy of what will actually happen and when. (2Pet.1:19) And we have the word of prophecy [made] more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed. Biblical history is also a sure prophecy because it must be repeated. (Eccl.1:9) That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Both the Word and history show us two delays in the fall of the U.S. In the case of a delay, the judgment will ultimately come to pass as and when the Bible says it will.
Israel and the U.S. were chosen by God to represent Him to the world but fell into apostasy, so in an attempt to turn them He appointed the same chastening and ultimate desolation to them. These two nations have a unique history regarding this. Gordon Lindsay, founder of Christ for the Nations, discovered a unique phenomena and I have since built upon it. From the time the northern ten tribes rebelled under Jeroboam and became independent of Judah, one or the other was at war almost every seventeen years for a period of fifteen cycles, after which Israel (690 B.C.) and then Judah (682 B.C.) were conquered by the Assyrian Beast. (2Ki.18:10)…[I]n the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken. (11) And the king of Assyria carried Israel away unto Assyria… (12) because they obeyed not the voice of the Lord their God…and would not hear it, nor do it. (13) Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them. The U.S. also has been at war almost every seventeen years, not that the war started exactly on the seventeenth year. This started from the forming of the thirteen original states until the fifteenth cycle, which was the Grenada/Nicaragua conflicts in 1983-1984. Even the exceptions are common to both nations. In the sixth and tenth cycle there was no war for Israel or the U.S. The only possible exceptions to the parallel are that Israel appears to have had a devastating famine in the forth cycle instead of a war and I have found no record for a war in their thirteenth cycle. The cycles are probably more exact than our knowledge. Either way, no sane person could think that this is anything less than our sovereign God repeating history for the sake of warning us.
From the Grenada/Nicaragua conflicts in 1983-1984 until the year 2001 is the sixteenth, seventeen-year cycle. During this period Israel and Judah were conquered. Since the U.S. has already come through the sixteenth war cycle as of 2001 why was the U.S. not destroyed? It is no accident that JerUSAlem escaped being attack by the Assyrian beast at this time. (2Ki.19:31) For out of JerUSAlem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that shall escape… (32)the king of Assyria, He shall not come unto this city… (34)For I will defend this city to save it. Some might think that “USA” being in the heart of the name JerUSAlem is just a gimmick or coincidence. As we will see, as goes Jerusalem, so goes the U.S.A. Their judgment is delayed together. They are later simultaneously attacked and divided by the world beast in the day of the Lord. The Lord returns with His saints and saves a remnant of each from the beast armies fighting on their soil.
Just after the fifteenth cycle for the U.S.A. around 1987, God showed me He would delay the judgment, although I did not know it at the time. Sometimes in Scripture the Lord has a prophet act out in his own life a prophecy of what is about to come to pass. I realized only afterwards that this happened to me. I was experiencing pain and passing a lot of blood. The thought came to me that it was cancer. In the next day or two I went to a Christian book store that I normally did not go to because there was one much closer. Two sisters, who were running the store, said that they were praying for ministers that they knew. The Lord told them that I was having a battle with cancer but that I would win. There was no way they could have known this for I had told no one. Even my wife found out later by accident. I thanked them and told them that it was a confirmation. I went home and asked the Lord for a word from His Word concerning this. Without looking, I flipped my Bible open and put my finger down on a phrase in 2 Kings 20:1. It said, “thou shalt die, and not live”. I recognized that I was being tried to see if I would depart from the Word. I said “Lord, I don’t accept this because it is not according to Your word to me in 1 Peter 2:24, ‘by whose stripes ye were healed’.” You have taught me not to accept what is contrary to Your covenant with me.” (I now know that this reaction was pleasing to the Lord.) I said, “Lord, I ask You to give me another word according to your covenant with me.” Without looking I flipped the Bible open and put my finger down on a phrase in Psalm 118:17. It said, “I shall not die, but live”, the exact opposite! The chances of that happening are too fantastic to understand. I rejoiced and thanked the Lord. I had a faithful brother, Mike Burley, pray over me and ignored the symptoms until they were gone. God delayed my destruction as a type for the delay in the JerUSAlem destruction.
Here is a confirmation to the delay. “[T]hou shalt die and not live” was first spoken to King Hezekiah in the year that Judah fell but JerUSAlem was spared. He then sought the Lord on the grounds that he was a righteous man, and Isaiah prophesied a delay in judgment for himself and JerUSAlem. (2Ki.20:6) And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake. Notice in this verse that this delay was also for “David’s sake”, which is also my name. Both Hezekiah and I were used to prophesy a delay in the fall of JerUSAlem. This meant a delay in the destruction of the U.S. in the sixteenth war cycle before the year 2000, which is when the prophesied destruction was to have occurred.
Hezekiah asked for a confirmation to this saying, “What shall be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up unto the house of the Lord the third day?” Notice that, because God lengthened the time, we are now at the third thousand-year day from Christ when those who are righteous, like Hezekiah, whose name means “strengthened of the Lord”, will go “up unto the house of the Lord”. Two things can be seen from this. First, the First-fruits man-child is caught “up unto the house of the Lord” to rule on the morning of the third day (Ex.23:16,19; Hos.6:2,3). Also, as we will see, the saints who sleep and those who “are alive, that are left” will be caught “up unto the house of the Lord” in the midst of the fall of the U.S. to the beast armies. The confirmation sign that was given to Hezekiah was that the shadow of the sundial went backward ten steps or degrees (2Ki.20:10,11). At this time Hezekiah, the Romans, and Egyptians changed their calendars from 360 to 365.25 days a year. It was a momentous time like when Joshua commanded the sun to stop. Hezekiah was anointed to write ten of the Psalms between 120 and 134. They were called: “Song of Ascents” or “degrees” in honor of the ten degrees that God set back time. Now here is the important thing; don’t miss it. Father lengthened the time or delayed the end when the Assyrian beast was coming to conquer JerUSAlem during the sixteenth, seventeen-year war cycle.
In 2002 the symptoms of death suddenly returned as what friends in the medical field thought was cardiovascular disease. I was having pain in my chest and my right side was always cold due to lack of circulation. My wife reminded me that it had been fifteen years since my healing. I thought of the fifteen-year extension of Hezekiah’s life. I asked the Lord if that part of Isaiah’s prophecy was also for me and that now I, too, would die. I not only got a “yes” from Him but three dreams were given to people in our assembly at that time that showed that I would die of a heart attack. These people knew nothing of my symptoms or a fifteen-year extension. As I thought on these things I told the Lord that I saw no reason to change my confession of His promises of healing. I heard the Devil’s threats but called his bluff and acted out my faith by jogging around our area. He then told me that I would fall out on the side of the road and never make it home. He gave up after a while and the symptoms gradually left. After this the Lord impressed me that I had acted out a second delay in the fall of the U.S.
The Bible Code, by Michael Drosnin, on page 105, reveals that the code accurately showed World War II, stating, “The year the war began, 1939, is encoded with both ‘World War’ and ‘A Hitler,’ and the word ‘Nazi’ appears in the same place”. On pages 123 through 125, we see that the code warns of a future “atomic holocaust” and “world war” encoded for two years together, the Hebrew year 5760, which was from September 1999 to September 2000, and the Hebrew year 5766, which is from October 2005 to September 2006. On page 135 is stated, “Russia’’ and ‘‘China’’ and “USA” all also appear with “World War”. On page 166 is stated, “Delay is written in with ‘World War’”. Where the years 2000 and 2006 are encoded, the hidden text states, “I will delay the war”. (Notice the two delays in the World War in which Russia and China attack the U.S.A.) It is even written in with the “End of Days”. Every time “End of Days” appears in the plain text of the Bible, the word “delayed” appears in the hidden text. On page 127 is stated, “Armageddon in the years 2000 and 2006.” Since Armageddon is after the seven year tribulation the 2006 date must have been delayed for the tribulation has not yet started. Although I believe there will be a war in 2006, and that Russia and China will be at least covertly involved, it will not be the battle of Armageddon, when the U.S. falls in a nuclear exchange, but a continuation of the Middle Eastern wars in Muslim lands. [Editor’s note: These comments were written months prior to the most recent conflagration in 2006 with Israel and Lebanon. At this writing the war is over and Iran was implicated as supporters of the Hezbollah forces in Lebanon, supplying them with Russian and Chinese high tech weaponry.]
Both Joel and Amos likened the Assyrian beast invasion of JerUSAlem to an army of locusts that burned the pastures and city (Joel 1:19,20; Amos 2:5, 7:1). Locusts obviously prefer to eat pastures rather than burn them; nor do they burn cities. This army was referred to as a “strong people” and “men of war” (Joel 2:5-7). Joel speaks of this locust invasion in chapter two, and a clear end time fulfillment in chapter three where he describes it with the words, “[I]n those days…I will gather all nations and bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat” (3:1,2), clearly identifying the battle of Armageddon. This totally agrees with the Bible codes that the nuclear attack and invasion of the U.S. by Russia, China, etc., would be in this last war, which is after the tribulation. Joel said this judgment would be at the “latter rain” and Amos at the “latter growth”. These prophecies are clearly for our day since the “latter rain” is in our day and it brings the “latter growth”.
Through intercession these prophets delayed the invasion of JerUSAlem by the “nations” twice (Joel 2:17; Amos 7:1-6). (Amos 7:1) Thus the Lord showed me: and, behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth…. (2) And it came to pass that, when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord, forgive, I beseech thee: how shall Jacob stand? for he is small. (3) The Lord repented concerning this: It shall not be, saith the Lord. Leading up to 2000, the prophets were declaring judgment would come to the U.S. and many were interceding just like Amos. Notice that because of the immaturity of God’s people they would not spiritually survive the judgment, so He delayed it. Then in verses 4 through 6 God threatened to destroy the land by fire. Amos again interceded with the same words and God delayed a second time. History must repeat. This delay happened again in 2006 when the saints interceded. “That which hath been is that which shall be, and that which hath been done is that which shall be done.”
The third time that God spoke to Amos He declared that He would not spare the apostates among His people. (Amos 7:7) Thus he showed me: and, behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb-line, with a plumb-line in his hand. (8)…Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel. The Lord stood beside a wall, symbolizing separation, which is the meaning of sanctification or holiness. The wall was made with a plumb-line, which was in the Lord’s hand. A plumb-line measures straightness according to the law of gravity. In other words, He will set His plumb-line in the midst of His people to judge their straightness and holiness according to the Word. Those who do not measure up will be destroyed. Justice will replace grace after the tribulation when the U.S. is invaded. Then the Lord said, “…I will not again pass by them any more” (8). In other words, He would not delay judgment a third time. Two days after I got the above revelation a sister gave me a book, The Heavens Opened, by Anna Rountree. I quote from a vision on pages 73-74 as confirmation of the plumb-line judgment.
“Look”, He continued, gesturing towards the ground in front of us within the sheepfold. The area opened to reveal the world spinning some distance beneath us. As I looked at the globe, I heard huge footsteps, as if giants were walking, shaking the earth. The ground of earth trembled, and mountains began to break apart. “Look again,” He said, gesturing above Him. Heaven opened and I saw something dropping from the center of the bright angels. “What is it?” I asked. “A plumb-line,” He answered. The weighted plumb-line dropped from heaven through the sheepfold to the earth. As the plumb-line reached earth…fire came out of heaven and traveled the plumb line, passing before us and sweeping down the line to earth. Suddenly the whole world was aflame.
Notice in the plumb-line war the Lord will judge the “whole world” with fire, again identifying the last world war which involves Armageddon. The “giants…shaking the earth” are the ruling world kingdoms and when the “mountains” also representing these kingdoms “began to break apart” these once united kingdoms will be torn apart in a one world civil war. At the beginning of this God will check His “sheepfold” with His plumb-line to see who measures up to sanctification. The righteous, symbolized by Anna, will escape the flood of wrath in the ark of God but the apostates will be destroyed.
In Amos 8:1-3 God repeated, “I will not again pass by them any more”, and then told of how large this war would be by saying, “the dead bodies shall be many; in every place”. The plumb-line war is obviously a world war. As we will see, the fall of the U.S. will come with the sun being darkened by a nuclear world war. (9) And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day. Amos is plainly speaking of the last world war. At that time all of the sinners of God’s people who thought they would escape will be destroyed. (9:10) All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, The evil shall not overtake nor meet us. These are part of the world religious harlot who will be destroyed by the world beast because of the blood of the saints. (Rev.17:16) And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her utterly with fire. A remnant from all nations will escape this day of the Lord to be ruled by the saints for the millennium.
THE FALL DELAYED TILL WHEN? WHY?
There is a connection between the last revelation and the following revelation. As we saw, the Assyrian beast was delayed in their attack on JerUSAlem as a type of the end time world beast kingdom’s delay in their attack on the U.S.A. and Jerusalem. Nineveh was the head of the world ruling Assyrian beast, as a type of the U.S. being the head of the world ruling U.N. beast of our day. The harlot who rode the world beast of Revelation 17 also represents the U.S. ruling over the U.N. After the tribulation, the beast destroyed the U.S. harlot. The world beast threatened to destroy Nineveh but this was delayed through Jonah’s warning just as the judgment of U.S. was delayed through the modern day Jonahs’ warnings. The Hebrew name “Nineveh” is a translation of the Assyrian “Ninua”. This is their name for Ishtar, the goddess of fertility, written ideographically with the cuneiform sign of a fish within an enclosure. I saw the U.S. in a vision as a fish enclosure.
In July of 1996 I found myself standing in the sky far above the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and I saw the U.S. stretched out before me. My gaze was directed upward where I saw that a veil was stretched over the whole country. Above the veil was a huge bomb that was almost as big as the country, hanging from a string with a bow knot tied in it! Looking back down I saw that the U.S. had turned into what looked like an above ground swimming pool. The outer wall of this pool followed the boundaries of the nation. This enclosure was filled with water, which was teeming with fish. The fish were under the bomb but they could not see it for the veil. It was then that I noticed a fishing pole in my hand. Standing where I was, if I caught the fish, they would be able to see the bomb and be out from under it. My ministry has been based in the Gulf States and I have no orders to move, but I was out from under the judgment of the bomb because of spiritual reasons that I am called to share with others.
The Lord was clearly likening the threat to Nineveh to that of the U.S. As Nineveh’s judgment was delayed, so was the judgment of the U.S. Jonah “cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown” (Jonah 3:4). God had told Jonah to “preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee” (2) and he did, just as many prophets correctly warned the U.S. of an imminent fall. Even though his prophecy was delayed far past forty days, he was not a false prophet; nor were the prophets who warned the U.S. false. Nineveh repented and God spared them. Most would say that the U.S. did not repent before 2000, but the U.S. is not expected to repent. Only God’s people in her are expected to repent and some did. Some filled churches as new believers. Some came out of apostate churches as wiser believers and this is still happening. There is a revival going on, although those who only count their statistics in the apostate churches would never know it.
Jonah knew God would be merciful and he would be left looking like a false prophet so he fled from this responsibility (4:1,2). You can understand the feelings of the faithful prophets who were falsely persecuted for warning the U.S. of her fall before 2000. Many of these warnings will still come to pass but not in their original timing, just as Jonah’s prophecy did. God’s mercy on Nineveh angered Jonah, probably because Amos, Joel, and Micah had prophesied that Nineveh over Assyria would bring Israel and Judah into bondage. In like manner, the U.S. was spared to bring the people of God into bondage. Blinded by patriotism, Jonah was hoping that Nineveh would be destroyed so that his people would be spared the chastening that God knew they had to have. This tribulation furnace will burn off the wood, hay, and stubble of their corrupt lives. Don’t miss this important point. God delayed the destruction of Nineveh at the head of Assyria so that they would bring His rebellious people into bondage and tribulation symbolized by the fish enclosure. A delay is not a delete. After crucifying the flesh of God’s people, Nineveh did fall as the prophet Nahum prophesied. In like manner God delayed the destruction of the U.S. so that the saints can be brought into tribulation and crucifixion, after which the U.S. will fall. The judgment of the U.S. was delayed from before the tribulation to after the tribulation, which is also when the harlot of Babylon, as a type of the U.S., falls to the seven-headed, ten-horned U.N. beast in Revelation. We will give much more proof of this in this chapter.
Although I had the above vision of the U.S. in 1996, the Nineveh connection was not revealed to me until September of 1998. At that time God let me tell our local saints but told me to keep quiet about this revelation nationally until September of 1999. He clearly wanted the warning to get out to those who would repent before I spread the word that the prophesied judgment would be delayed. When I did share this nationally, many prophets understood and stopped warning. At that time I also told many that the Lord told me that “Y2K will be nothing” and that, too, came to pass as a confirmation of the delay. Several people in our assembly had confirming dreams about the delay.
Pauline was by the sea wall at the Navy base in Pensacola, Florida. She saw a huge bomb falling over the water. Everyone was terrified but the bomb stopped just a few feet above the water and stayed there.
This was obviously a delay in judgment that will be concluded at the right time.
In another dream:
Debbie Smith saw a red car start running down a hill. Someone got in and turned the key off and stopped the car before it crashed at the bottom. She then saw the car start itself without the key and go down hill and crash.
The red car is the U.S. in sin. (Isa.1:18) Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. As gravity is a law that pulls downward to a sudden crash, so sin is a law that pulls downward to judgment. The Lord has been mercifully delaying this judgment. In rebellion against the Lord, Who is the owner and driver, the U.S. will continue in sin. Naturally, a car that goes anywhere without its driver will crash: in rebellion, the U.S. will continue to test the law of sin and death unto judgment (Rom.8:2).
In another dream:
Curt Bryan had remarried his ex-wife, whose name is Helen. They were getting dressed-up, and very excited because they were going somewhere special.
Curt represents the fallen Church who will turn back to their first love, “Helen”, which in Greek means “light”. Jesus is the Light and the Truth. They will be dressed-up by putting on the Lord Jesus Christ (Rom.13:11-14). They will be very excited because they are “going some place special” to the kingdom of God.
Then they heard a news broadcast that said a “category five hurricane is coming in one week”. They thought this was strange since it was March and not the season for hurricanes.
This means there will be a catastrophic storm of judgment on the U.S. after the seven year tribulation. God’s people are going to return to the light and be dressed-up with the life of Christ during the tribulation. March is not the time for hurricanes but war. March means “month of Mars”, the Roman god of war. It is also spring when “kings go to war”. As I write this, God is giving a sign through the U.S. mission to Mars. The ten kings will make war on the harlot of the U.S. as the head of the beast after the seven years of tribulation. Shakespeare warned, “Beware the Ides of March” and on March 15 Caesar was assassinated. The U.S. is now the corporate head of the revived Roman Empire that will be assassinated after the seven years. The birth stone for March, until recently, was the bloodstone, also called the “martyr’s stone”. The U.S. will be judged after the tribulation in blood for that of the unborn, the innocent, and the martyrs. The celebration of Purim (14 Adar) is in March when the beast, typified by Haman and his ten sons, sought to eradicate God’s people but were hung by the order of the King, representing Jesus (Est.8:7). March 21 is the vernal equinox when the sun, as a type of the Son of God, rises directly in the east and sets directly in the west. That would make the Lord’s Word concerning His coming letter-perfect. (Mt 24:27) For as the lightning cometh forth from the east, and is seen even unto the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of man. At this time the sun equally divides darkness and light everywhere on earth. When the Son comes that is exactly what He will do, gather from the whole earth those who live in the light and reprobate those who live in darkness for the flood of judgment. All this clearly indicates that the U.S. will be destroyed after the tribulation at the coming of the Lord.
As we will prove, Babylon was another type of the U.S. ruling over the nations to bring God’s people into bondage and tribulation. John, a friend with a prophetic gift, had a vision of the delay in putting together this end time beast kingdom.
I saw President G. W. Bush trying to repair two hex (6) headed nuts that were stripped out on a wheel. He finally repaired them and started to turn the wheel. Then I saw a can of nails in the center of the wheel and it jammed up and couldn’t turn (delay).
George W. Bush is the king of the modern day great eagle of Babylon. He and the U.S. are symbolized by the head of gold in Daniel’s image of the beast in Daniel 2:31,32,38, which is all the nations in a one-world body. He is building an image of a world-wide U.S./U.N./U.R. beast. The two hex-headed or six-sided nuts make 66, which represents the scope of the materialistic gold image of the beast. (Dan.3:1) Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore (60) cubits, and the breadth thereof six (6) cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. Juan from Barcelona pointed out a code that shows the U.S. as the head of Babylon and Bush as its king: “USA is Babylon 666”, and in another he found, “Bush is King of Babylon - our death is his fire”. As for the image of gold, much of the world hates the dominion of the U.S. but worships the image of prosperity it enjoys. The U.S. promises this prosperity to the world if it will follow in its steps, a promise that only God could deliver. The world has been a willing participant in making a U.S. of the world called the U.N. The saints will ultimately be commanded to bow to this image on threat of their lives. (4) Then the herald (preacher) cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages… (6) whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. (7)…all the peoples, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. (8) Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and brought accusation against the Jews.
The nails represent the individual sinners for whom Jesus paid the penalty on the cross. Like the nails, we held Jesus on that cross. There are elect nails yet to be saved and matured. Because of this God has delayed the progress of Babylon. As in the vision, Bush has been only temporarily successful in getting this wheel turning. A wheel is a symbol of the repetition of time. (Jas.3:6) And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel (Greek: “cycle”) of nature (Greek: genesis; meaning birth or beginning), and is set on fire by hell. The Zodiac and the clock are wheels of time which cycle back to the beginning. “That which hath been is that which shall be.” God temporarily delayed the repetition of the history of the great eagle of Babylon in the U.S. to bring in and mature the saints. As Amos said, “how shall Jacob stand? for he is small”.
Another aspect of the nails stopping the wheel of Babylonish progress is that the “Chaldeans” or Babylonians will come to believe that the Christians are the spoilers of the peace and prosperity of the New World Order and will bring “accusation against” them. Lets face it, friends, if we did not know what the Word said we would see this as an awesome plan for peace and prosperity. When the persecution does come it will be because the average man will turn his back while these “trouble-makers” are quietly put away by the government with one excuse or another. Meanwhile, the U.S. will continue to experience judgments to wake up the elect.
As we can see, some prophecies, dreams, and visions are delayed for various reasons that are stipulated in the Word. Others are prophesying in part (1Cor.13). That is, part God and part us. And others are what I call “wolf prophecies”. Remember the old story about the guy who cried “Wolf!” “Wolf!” until no one would listen anymore? The devil and or the flesh can make true prophecies useless by injecting words of imminent, sometimes dated fulfillments that do not come to pass until no one listens any more. On the other hand, God does sometimes give dates. In the seventy weeks prophecy of Daniel 9 are many dates. In Jeremiah 29:10 he said there would be seventy years till the end of bondage in Babylon. Daniel believed and acted on that date (Dan.9:2). Many times these dreams, visions and prophecies must be put on the shelf to see if they come to pass. Since there was a delay in the judgment of the U.S. before 2000, we should suspect that the timing of any prophecies prior to that could be off.
BABYLON: TYPE OF THE U.S.
As we saw in Chapter Nine Two Witnesses, Babylon in the greater sense is the whole world. God confounded the tongues of Babel and spread them out on the continent, which He then broke up and separated. All nations are thus from Babel and have the sins of Babel in their blood. Now Babel is being built again, a United Nations of the world. The judgment on this Babel will be the same (Rev.16:18,19). Babylon was and is both secular and religious. There are greater and lesser types of each. The greater type of secular Babylon is the United Nations of the world; and a lesser type is the United States of America. The United States has been called the melting pot of religions, nationalities, and cultures. In other words, she is a microcosm of the United Nations. That makes her a secular harlot, for God gave a Christian heritage to her but she has turned to many false gods of wood, stone, steel and false religion. Her government is a corporate, secular false prophet to export her ideologies and lifestyle to the world. As the corporate religious false prophet brings about the fall of religious Babylon, so the secular false prophet will bring about the fall of secular Babylon.
Many say that they do not see the U.S. in Scripture. Does it sound reasonable that what has been called the greatest nation on earth would not be mentioned in Scripture? Of course not! The U.S. is now at the pinnacle of influence over the world through the U.N., North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), foreign aid, military strength, trade, art, entertainment, and many other avenues. Every other world-ruling power is mentioned along with their destruction and the U.S. is certainly not left out. Many proven prophets and teachers have identified the U.S. as Babylon. After being told by an angel that the U.S. would be destroyed, Dumitru Duduman asked for Biblical proof to show the Americans.
The angel said to tell them to read Jeremiah 51:8-15 and Revelation 18. (clearly identifying America with Babylon’s destruction). Then Dumitru asked, “Why did He name it ‘THE MYSTERY BABYLON’?” The angel said, “Tell them because all the nations of the world immigrated into America, and America accepted them. America accepted Buddha, the Devil church, the Sodomite church, the Mormon Church, and all kinds of wickedness. America was a Christian nation. Instead of stopping them, they went after their gods. Because of this, He named them ‘THE MYSTERY BABYLON’. So that you know that I truly have been sent by God, tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. someone will come to give you a bed. At 10:30 someone will come to pay your rent. At noon, someone will bring you a car and give you a bucket of honey.”
Brothers, it happened as the angel had said. At 9:00 someone rang my doorbell and said, ‘I brought you a bed. I could not sleep all night long. God told me that you were from Romania and that you need a bed.’ At 10:30 someone else rang my doorbell and handed me a check for $500 and said, ‘God told me to bring you $500.’ At noon someone came and gave me a car and a bucket of honey!
Since ancient Babylon and Iraq have been destroyed, but Revelation reveals Babylon to rule up until the end, we are left to consider what modern entity fulfills that type. Consider these proof texts that Babylon symbolizes the U.S. Most of these are true at this time while others will be proven to be true in our study of the prophecies.

As you can see, no other nation can possibly fit the symbolism and description of the “great eagle” of Babylon except the U.S. This list will make even more sense if you revisit it after you have finished the book.
RUSSIA & CHINA’S COVERT WAR THROUGH ISLAM
Let’s examine the sequence of events that will cause this modern Babylon to hate and persecute Christians. God has ordained first to bring the U.S. to her knees through terrorism and other disasters. The great apostasy of the “Christians” in this country has given God reason to raise up enemies to chasten it and, ultimately, us. We have seen the real enemy and it is us. (Pr.16:7) When a man’s ways please the Lord, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. If there was real repentance in the lives of God’s people, He would pacify her enemies. Instead of repentance most Christians have pushed Babylon toward war. Religiously deceived Americans have, in the name of a god of their own making, gone out to polarize the world for war and great tribulation. Two wrongs don’t make a right; besides, the U.S. is about to shoot herself in the foot. Saddam Hussein was a national enemy that the U.S. could deal with. However, these address-less, faceless, nation-less, angry, fanatical, Muslim organizations that enemies are using to fight a covert war with the U.S. is a completely different story. The U.S. should have learned from their own success in the Revolutionary War that military might is no defense against guerilla warfare. They will kill millions of Americans before the end. Vice President Cheney called them “barbarians”. Who was it that conquered the last Roman Empire? Look at Daniel’s vision of the beast in Daniel 2:31. The silver of the Medes and Persians conquered the gold of Babylon and so it is today. The more inferior conquers the more valuable in terms of worldly values. Then came the brass, the iron and the clay. The world is becoming less valuable all the time in heavenly terms. The U.S. has not seen Biblical Christianity as a witness and we are guilty. (Mt.5:13) Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men. God is preparing to use the U.S. to humble Christianity as we know it. We have seen the beginning of a process in which God is raising up the whole Muslim world against the U.S. George W. Bush and the conservative Christians will get the blame for a series of terrible wars. The U.S. is even now persecuting the Christians and taking away their rights in schools, colleges and government in an attempt to pacify the Muslims.
When we look at the fall of ancient Babylon we can see what is happening to prepare the U.S. for the same fall. The Medes, among whom are the modern day Kurds, are found in eastern Turkey, northeast Iraq, northwest Iran, northeast Syria, Armenia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and beyond, and are given some credit for bringing Babylon down. (Jer.51:11) Make sharp the arrows, hold firm the shields: the Lord hath stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it: for it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his temple. Elam, father of the Persians, is found mostly in Iran and parts of Afghanistan, and was also allied with the Medes to destroy Babylon. (Isa.21:2)…[T]he treacherous man dealeth treacherously, and the destroyer destroyeth. Go up, O Elam; besiege, O Media. Back in our Jeremiah text yet another large Muslim group will be used to bring down the U.S. (Jer.51:12) Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes (Hebrew: arab)…. (13) O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, the measure of thy covetousness. It cannot be an accident that the Hebrew word for “ambush” here is “arab”, meaning to “lurk or lie in wait for”. As you will remember it was mostly Arabs that ambushed both the planes and the World Trade Towers. Arab Osama bin Laden’s common tactic is one of ambush. I know some blame all of this on the New Word Order crowd but I believe the Scriptures we are reading here.
That makes three major Muslim groups that are given credit for destroying U.S–Babylon. Fanatical Muslim organizations from among these are ambushing the U.S. over and over to bring down the economy and weaken her for a final ambush by a Russian-led confederacy of nations. God is uniting the seed of the ancient bear of the Medes and Persians, now a major Muslim people, with the modern bear of Russia to conquer the Babylonish lion with eagle’s wings, perfectly repeating history.
Early on the morning of my birthday, February 4, 1998, as my eyes opened from sleep I found myself staring through the ceiling of my bedroom into a blue sky. I saw written in the sky with white dense clouds what I first thought was the hammer and sickle of the old U.S.S.R., but then I noticed it was not a sickle but a crescent because it had no handle. The vision came twice immediately. The first time the clouds were solid. The second time there were breaks in the clouds at intervals.
The fact that God used the symbol of the U.S.S.R. tells me that the nations that were formerly part of her are still united with Russia. From henceforth when I speak of the coming wars involving Russia and allies, I believe that these nations will be united with Russia in that group. These nations are mostly Muslim and can easily unite the rest of the Muslim world with Russia, especially against the U.S., A. Kalaam writes:
There are about 80 million Muslims in what was the Soviet Union. In spite of their number, the outside world seems to know little about them. Of the 16 states that comprised the Soviet Union, Muslims were in the majority in eight of them when the Communists took over in 1917. The Muslim majority areas in what was the Soviet Union were, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kirghizia (Now Kyrgyzstan), Tatar, Bashkar, Caucasia and Crimea.
Since then the overall Muslim majority has increased in most of these areas. As for Russia itself, Paul Goble, an expert on Islam in Russia and a research associate at the University of Tartu in Estonia said, “Since 1989, Russia's Muslim population has increased by 40 percent to about 25 million. By 2015 Muslims will make up a majority of Russia's conscript army, and by 2020 a fifth of the population”. He also said, “If nothing changes, in 30 years people of Muslim descent will definitely outnumber ethnic Russians…”
The crescent in my vision is the symbol of the Muslim countries and is on most of their flags. When the crescent’s points face to the right, as in my vision, it is called an “increscent”, meaning, “increasing as the moon”, as opposed to a “decrescent”, meaning, “on the decline”. This obviously meant that the power of Islam was on the rise and that they would unite with the Russians against the U.S. The first vision in which the hammer and crescent clouds were solid and the second vision in which there were breaks in the clouds at intervals shows us that in a year and part of a year radical Islam and the Russians would unite against the U.S., which happened in time to plan and execute the 9-11 attack. On the day of this vision it was reported President Yeltsin said that if the U.S. bombed Iraq for stopping the inspections, it could “trigger a World War”. I believe that when the Russians were ignored over and over, they made plans to soften up the U.S. by covertly using radical Islam to war against the U.S. economy. There are many signs of this unity. For instance, the Russians knew of the 9-11 attack and in the days prior to it publicly warned their people in conferences and newspapers to pull their money from U.S. stocks because an attack on our economy was imminent.
Twelve years before 9-11, David Taylor was shown in a dream that George W. Bush would be President when Russia begins attacking the U.S. The war will not begin with nuclear missiles but an attack on U.S. financial centers. He saw the World Trade Center bombing and that Russia will pay terrorists to create a diversion, covertly using them to bomb America and other countries. Years later on 9/11/01 he was two hours from New York when the Lord sent him to the World Trade Center. They arrived at the Trade Center around 2:00 a.m. and began circling it. He told the people with him that God had showed him terrorists, assigned by Russia, were going to bomb the World Trade Towers. They stayed there until about 6:00 or 7:00 a.m. when the Lord told him to leave. By the time they arrived at their hotel room the news was reporting the second plane had crashed into the Trade Centers.
Jeff Nyquist in his Weekly Column on January 26, 2007 said, “We already know from defector testimony that Russia's war plan incorporates the use of false flag terrorist diversionary operations in the early stages of the next world war. GRU defector Viktor Suvorov explained long ago that such operations were referred to as "gray terror.” The fact that Ayman al-Zawahri was named as a longtime agent of the KGB is the icing on the nuclear cake (as it were). The fact that Alexander Litvinenko – the man who fingered Zawahri – was recently poisoned by polonium-210, underscores the hardscrabble reality of the nuclear terror game.”
In a WorldNetDaily article entitled, “Al Qaeda Financing Plan with Blue-chip Securities”, posted on May 2, 2004, we see that Russia and China are covertly supporting Al Qaeda to make war on the U.S.
“Al Qaeda is financing its worldwide terror operations by investing in blue-chip Australian stocks with the assistance of Beijing’s powerful Secret Intelligence Service (SIS).
Citing information from Britain’s MI6 and European intelligence services, Gordon Thomas, security correspondent for the London Sunday Express, writes that the bin Laden organization’s investment strategy includes ‘leading technology and defense corporations in Australia, Singapore and other Pacific Rim countries.’ Billions, earned through illegal drug dealings with China’s SIS, are being laundered into the stock market through banks in Australia, Japan, Germany and Ireland. The article appears in today’s Melbourne Sunday Herald. Thomas cites Brian McAdam, a former Canadian Foreign Service officer who worked closely with the FBI to identify some 3,000 U.S. companies that are fronts for CSIS or have financial links to al Qaeda. ‘Only now are Western intelligence agencies becoming aware of the links that CSIS has with drugs, money laundering and the support it provides for terrorists. We are talking of billions of dollars,’ said McAdam…. The U.S. is continuing to seek cooperation from PLA Senior Colonel Xu Junping, who defected to the U.S. in December, 2000, while visiting New York City with a Chinese military delegation. According to Gordon, Xu described meetings with bin Laden where al Qaeda and SIS discussed their investment plan. Al Qaeda has also been the beneficiary of the spying done by Richard Hanssen, the FBI employee who worked for the KGB. Hanssen sold the PROMIS software program, used by U.S. intelligence, to the Russians who, in turn, sold a copy to bin Laden. This has enabled the terror organization to both move money and cover its tracks.”
A Chinese military manual entitled Unrestricted Warfare shows how a weak nation can destroy the U.S. by covertly attacking our social, economic and political system. The social and political attacks could point to what an angel told Dumitru Duduman. He said that the Communists would start a civil war in this country to weaken it for an invasion. I know that there is plenty of truth to accuse the government of, but the dissemination of disinformation against them on the internet is rampant. The Chinese suggested this in Unrestricted Warfare. Uri Andropov was head of the KGB when John Kerry accused American service men of committing great atrocities in Vietnam. He said that what Kerry had reported was almost word-for-word misinformation that they sent to divide Americans on the issue and, of course, it worked. I was told by the Lord many years ago that spirits of paranoia would stir up Christians to fight against this country. The economic attacks are also happening. Three years before 9-11, Unrestricted Warfare suggested that bombing the World Trade Center would be beyond the hearing range of the U.S. military. Here is that excerpt from this book, which was translated by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Whether it be the intrusions of hackers, a major explosion at the World Trade Center, or a bombing attack by bin Laden, all of these greatly exceed the frequency bandwidths understood by the American military….
Admiral Thomas Moorer, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that Unrestricted Warfare “reveals China’s game plan in its coming war with America”. Major General John Singlaub, former Chief of Staff, said, “The 9-11 attacks may just be the beginning. Many terrorist nations and groups will try to imitate this operation…and China’s war book, Unrestricted Warfare, will be their text.” They can use the militant Muslims to war against the U.S. and remain relatively safe from retribution.
The attacks by militant Muslims have already started the U.S. down the road of appeasing them at the expense of Christianity, which will ultimately be “trodden under the foot of men”. President Bush hosted a Ramadan dinner in the White House in 2001 and 2002, with Muslim clergy praying to Allah. Some public schools have taught Islam under the guise of teaching tolerance but, of course, they would not teach Christianity for that reason. Major colleges in America are taking down crosses, and throwing out Bible clubs and Christian organizations. A Canadian Christian minister was sent to jail for “hate speech” when he pointed out what Islam actually teaches. He was commanded to serve out his time under an Imam who demanded he learn Islam or return to jail. Authors have been dragged into court because of truthful remarks about Islam. An Iranian cleric demanded the death of three prominent Christian leaders for remarks against Islam. The day I wrote this, the President and Secretary of State attacked the Christian right for what were truthful remarks. This was probably precipitated by the intelligence warnings of al Qaeda attacks. They will continue to blackmail the nations into political correctness, which will never appease them anyway. The insecurity of a faceless enemy will cause many to accept the loss of Constitutional freedom, eventual martial law with U.N. New World Order troops on our streets, the mark of the beast, persecution and martyrdom of the saints, etc. True discipleship will grow among the elect as the persecution strengthens. True disciples cannot be politically correct and still preach the narrow road Gospel, which will bring even more persecution.
THE U.S. / U.N. BEAST IS OUR CROSS
In the Bible, eight major times and many lesser times beast kingdoms are given authority by God over His people because of their rebellion against His Word. The seventh corporate beast is now being formed in the U.N. to bring God’s worldwide people to their cross. This beast includes the seed of all the previous beasts, hence the beast with seven heads. Daniel’s vision of this beast has been known as the history of successive world ruling kingdoms leading up to the end but, as we have seen, it is also revealed as a “latter days” prophecy. (Dan.2:28) [B]ut there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and he hath made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. In this vision Babylon is a type of the U.S. as the head of the image of the “latter days” world beast. (31) Thou, O king, sawest, and, behold, a great image…and the aspect thereof was terrible. (32) As for this image, its head was of fine gold (Babylonian eagle/U.S.), its breast and its arms of silver (Medo-Persian bear/Russian confederacy), its belly and its thighs of brass, (33) its legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay. In the next chapter we will see this as a series of battles between the nations in a civil war in the midst of the one world beast in the day of the Lord.
Daniel identified the head of the corporate world beast kingdom as the king of Babylon, which is the leader of the U.S. today. (37) Thou, O king, art king of kings, unto whom the God of heaven hath given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory; (38) and wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field (representing all the individual beast kingdoms of the world) and the birds of the heavens hath he given into thy hand, and hath made thee to rule over them all: thou art the head of gold. To repeat: The U.S. rejected her king in the American Revolution. The forefathers realized that kings were fickle rulers with too much power. They divided that power by checks and balances, investing it in a corporate king of sorts called the Executive, Judicial, and Legislative Branches. This fits perfectly with the revelation that individual historic types are fulfilled corporately in the end times. As we have seen, the man-child ministry over the people of God is also a corporate “Branch”. The Executive Branch that rules over the U.S. rules the world beast, which is in a political evolution from U.N. to Dragon to Beast. Since by God’s sovereignty history always repeats, we can see in the story of Babylon the future of the U.S. This is confirmed in the vision of the end time harlot who headed up the nations. (Rev.17:3)…I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns…. (18) And the woman whom thou sawest is the great (corporate) city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
God has ordained a corporate beast in these days, with the Babylonish U.S. harlot at its head in order to try the people of God for seven years. (Dan.3:1) Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits (60), and the breadth thereof six cubits (6): he set it up in the plain of Dura (600), in the province of Babylon. When God’s people refuse to bow to this new world order, the leadership of the U.S. will become angry enough to cast them into great tribulation worldwide. (18)…[B]e it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. (19) Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: [therefore] he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times (seven year tribulation) more than it was wont to be heated. It is hard for many to perceive how the leadership of the U.S. as the head of the beast could become so angry at the righteous that it would seek their extermination at the hands of the world beast. God has commanded that the leadership of the U.S. will lose its mind for the seven-year tribulation. (4:16) [L]et his heart be changed from man’s, and let a beast’s heart be given unto him; and let seven times (seven year tribulation) pass over him. Here it is again. (25) [T]hat thou shalt be driven from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen, and shalt be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times (seven year tribulation) shall pass over thee; till thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. The “seven times” in these verses symbolize seven years (Rev.12:6,14; 13:5) that modern Babylon will devour grass, symbolizing the flesh of the saints. (1Pet.1:24) For, All flesh is as grass.
Two more times, for a total of four times, we see in chapter four this same “seven times” mentioned concerning the persecution of the people of God. This interpretation is confirmed in Leviticus, where “seven times” are also mentioned four times. In these four times, the beast is also devouring God’s people for breaking His covenant. (Lev.26:14) But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; (15)…but break my covenant. (17) And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be smitten before your enemies: they that hate you shall rule over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. (18) And if ye will not yet for these things hearken unto me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins. The persecutors of God’s people are identified as the “beast of the field” as in verse 25 of Daniel above. (22) And I will send the beast of the field among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your ways shall become desolate. The “beast of the field” symbolizes the individual beast kingdoms that are subservient to the ruling beast of Babylonish U.S. In the next two “seven times” mentioned, the sword, pestilence, death, and desolation are spoken against those of God’s people who continue to rebel against His Word. The consistent message throughout the chapter is “repent quickly so that more will not be necessary”.
Our Daniel text is clearly connected with the end time Babylon in Revelation 18 because in both cases an angel comes down from heaven and cries out this judgment on Babylon and God’s people. (Dan.4:13) I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from heaven. (14) He cried aloud. (Rev.18:1) After these things I saw another angel coming down out of heaven…. (2) And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons…. (4)…Come forth, my people out of her. The fall of Babylon is more spiritual at the beginning of the tribulation and culminates with its physical fall at the end because of its persecution of God’s people.
(Dan.4:17) The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones; to the intent that the living may know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the lowest of men. God will use the “lowest of men” with the “beast’s heart” for the purpose of separating those who obey the flesh and bow to the beast from those who refuse to do so. God is bringing His people to their cross through forcing them to decide whether they belong to the body of Christ or the body of antichrist. Babylonish U.S. will be an enemy to God’s people but the faithful will be as the three Hebrews losing only their fleshly bonds in this fiery spiritual crucifixion. (3:24) “Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?… (25) Lo, I see four men loose…and they have no hurt.” These three Hebrews were a representation of the true elect living among the three major divisions of humanity. These divisions are later proven when, at Armageddon, world Babylon is divided into three: kings of the North, South, and East. (Rev.16:19) And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
Babylon was the richest nation to subject God’s people, just as the modern great eagle, the U.S., is now. Revelation 17,18 identify Babylon in the end of time as the richest, leading, merchant nation that made all the nations who traded with her rich. She “sitteth upon many waters” (Rev.17:1). Not only does the U.S. literally sit on many rivers, the Great Lakes, the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Gulf, but she also spiritually sits upon the “many waters” identified as the people of the world. (Rev.17:15)…The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. At the same time she sits upon the seven-headed, ten-horned beast, identifying it as these people of the world (3). As Daniel revealed, the last kingdom would “devour all nations”. The U.S. as the “only world superpower” has been sitting upon the U.N. Beast, having its way. The U.S. has bribed the rest of the U.N. Security Council to agree on many resolutions. I hasten to add that the U.S. is only a superpower until the nations join together against her.
THE MILITANT APOSTATES REBEL
God is raising up this beast kingdom to crucify us as their forefathers crucified our Master. At the same time, the beast will purge Christianity of those who refuse to go to their cross of death to self. At first you may think I am wrong about this but if you will bear with me a little you will be overwhelmed with proof from God’s Word. Christians constantly send me e-mails about the conspiracies of the government and the leaders. Most of this is “he said that she said” stuff with no real proof. Unsubstantiated accusations are just gossip and forbidden by God’s Word. According to Law no one can be accused without two or three witnesses. Witnesses see and know personally. We shouldn’t accept accusations against a government or person without witnesses, earthly or heavenly. The devil is being permitted by God to stir up conspiracy theories so that paranoid, disobedient Christians will fight this government and be destroyed. The Lord said to me, “Spirits of paranoia will stir up Christians to fight against this country. In this way I will cleanse my Church of those that refuse to obey and go to their cross.”
Conspiracy theorists are the prime spreaders of this paranoia. (Isa.8:11) For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying, (12) Say ye not, A conspiracy; concerning all whereof this people shall say, A conspiracy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be in dread [thereof]. (13) The Lord of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. You ask, “But David what about the Illuminati conspiracy that has taken over our government to bring war and the New World Order?” Fear “him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will”. The Illuminati are nothing without God’s permission. They and many others like them are sent by God to deceive those who do not love truth and to judge those who need it. Therefore I am to permit them to cleanse the body. (2Thes.2:9) [even he], whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, (10) and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (11) And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie: (12) that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. “The lowest of men” are raised up to lead the beast to crucify rebellious Christians. We need them. (Pr.16:4) The Lord hath made everything for its own end (Hebrew: His own purpose); Yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
You may say, “But I know some of these conspiracies are real.” I do, too, but the flesh is stirred up to fight when we think on the conspiracies rather than the promises and the way of the cross. We are taught to study Truth rather than the evil in conspiracies because Truth has power unto Godliness, which delivers from evil. (Rom.16:19)….I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple unto that which is evil. Those who are taught to recognize counterfeit bills don’t study counterfeits because there are too many possibilities. They study the real bills. That way they can recognize all counterfeits. The Word gives us eyes to see all errors. Some waste all their time studying evil governments. All secular governments are evil just as the one in Jesus’ day but He stuck to the business of the Father, taught the Word, and let patriots like Barabbas fight with flesh and blood to their own destruction. I also know that this government will persecute and crucify the saints when the time comes. I say with Jesus, “Not my will but thine be done”. If we are not willing to give up our carnal life in order to be obedient to the Word, then we will not be counted worthy of a heavenly life. Any who stir up God’s people to take the sword will be guilty of their blood when they die by the sword, as the Word says will surely happen.
Antichristian militant “Christians” will not stand for their rights being taken away and will fight against their governments. What do you think they will do when world law is imposed and the mark of the beast is inevitable? There will be civil war. Conservatives, among whom are many of God’s people, have already considered armed rebellion against this government. The Bush/Gore presidential voting fraud fiasco revealed the underlying dangerous polarization between conservatives and liberals. I was sent the following excerpt from the Hal Turner Radio Show aired on Friday, November 10, 2000.
While Gore supporters are holding protests in the streets, Bush supporters are buying bullets at gun shops. In the three days since the General Election, ammunition sales throughout the U.S. have jumped an astonishing nine-hundred percent. Americans are furious over massive, blatant and widespread vote fraud by supporters of Al Gore and many are openly talking about ‘blood in the streets’. Voter fraud in Tuesday’s general election has radio talk shows throughout the U.S. burning up with callers who are openly speaking about civil insurrection, blood in the streets, state secession from the Union and wondering aloud whether President Bill Clinton will use this election debacle as an excuse to remain in power after his term expires on January 20, 2001. Such talk is not limited to fanatics; U.S. Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX), lent credibility to the prospects of violence when he was asked tonight on radio station WBCQ if President Clinton would use this situation to remain in power. Responding to that query, Rep. Paul stated ‘Six months ago, I thought the idea was preposterous. Now I’m not so sure. The people would come out and there would be total violence….’ Not since the early 1860’s prior to the Civil War has the U.S. population been so divided and openly talking about violent civil warfare. Radio callers are making unprecedented open and public calls to employ the Second Amendment (right to keep and bear arms) to protect the integrity of the Constitution and of the Bush election.
You can clearly see what the conspiracy theories were doing to the people’s minds. Whether you agree with their militant thinking or not, there are many that do. Sadly, all Christians will be blamed for these excesses. The liberal news media will be more than happy to continue to sway popular opinion against their historic enemy, the conservative Christians. Left wing “Christianity” will, of course, join in this attack proclaiming to be the true heirs of Christ, while they sleep with the beast in their politically-correct tolerance of other faiths. What happened to the Jews in WWII will happen to the Christians and, ultimately, what happened to Germany will happen to the U.S. The U.S. and its government will become more and more antichrist and will increasingly come to hate, persecute, kill, and bring God’s carnal people into bondage.
Ezekiel was shown that the apostate leadership of God’s people would be brought into bondage by the “great eagle”. He also saw that part of that leadership would lead part of God’s people to rebel against the “great eagle”, representing the U.S. (Ezk.17:2) Son of man…speak a parable unto the house of Israel; (3)…A great eagle with great wings…came unto Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar: (God’s people were likened in Scripture to the tall cedar evergreens of Lebanon because of their properties of eternal life.) (4) he cropped off the topmost of the young twigs thereof (the immature leadership of Christianity), and carried it unto a land of traffic (Babylon/U.S.); he set it in a city of merchants (U.N. in New York). The top recognized leadership of Christianity along with leadership of other religions will be given a position of authority as a corporate false prophet over the United Religions harlot. (5) He took also of the seed of the land (God’s people), and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters…. God’s people will be put “beside many waters”, which are the peoples of the world depicted by the “many waters” that the harlot sits upon in Revelation 17:1,15. Therefore the people of God, righteous or apostate, will be put under the authority of the harlot as it was in Jesus’ day. (6) And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature (the harlot cannot overcome to lift herself from the earth), whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine. The false prophet leadership of the harlot will rule with the ten kings as the little horn among the ten horns in the U.N. beast under the “great eagle”, the U.S.
The Lord confirms this interpretation in the text. (12) Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and brought them to him to Babylon. The nations with the U.S. “great eagle” at the head will confirm a covenant with this false prophet leadership of God’s New Testament people uniting them with the false religions in the U.N. in New York (13) And he took of the seed royal, and made a covenant with him; he also brought him under an oath, and took away the mighty of the land. This covenant will be hidden from the apostates and their leaders. They will fulfill the type laid down by the Jews in Jesus’ day, who didn’t realize that they had made a covenant with the beast to crucify the saints. In order to keep the peace the Roman beast gave the apostates authority over the saints. So it will be in our day. The strong delusion of the letter of the Word has already convinced the false leadership of Christianity of a fairytale covenant between a man called the antichrist and the letter Jews. Meanwhile the real covenant will be fulfilled in the spirit under their noses. To them this could not be the covenant because they have not yet been raptured and their antichrist hasn’t shown up. This covenant with the beast will make God’s apostate people preach an even more impotent gospel, because it is a covenant of tolerance for all false religions and all sinners in a vain effort to bring peace to the world. (14) [T]hat the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand. The apostates will be permitted to stand in the world as the base kingdom of the religious harlot.
We just saw the word “covenant” mentioned in verses thirteen and fourteen. It was at this point in my revelation that the Spirit said to me, “From the first mention of the word ‘covenant’ in verse thirteen count. How many verses does the word ‘covenant’ cover?” Thirteen is the number in Scripture that stands for apostasy and rebellion. Including verse thirteen, the word “covenant” covers seven verses (13-19). I was impressed that this represents the seven years of the covenant of the beast in the tribulation. Then I heard, “How many times is the word ‘covenant’ spoken in those verses?” “Covenant” is mentioned six times in these seven verses. Six is the number of man and of the beast. As we saw, the sixth book, sixth chapter, sixth verse and sixth word of the New Testament is “man” (Rom.6:6).
It was at this point the Spirit directed me to count, “How many verses before the ‘covenant’ is broken?” In the “midst” of the fourth verse the words “covenant he brake” are spoken. (16) As I live, saith the Lord, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he (apostate leadership) brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die. This also is in the “midst of the seven” verses, which is a quote from the Hebrew in Daniel 9:27. “And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one seven: and in the midst of the seven (Hebrew) he (beast) shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease.” Notice in these two verses that the apostate rebel leadership of God’s people will break the covenant so the beast will cause the “sacrifice” to cease. At the time when the crowns of authority will be taken from the seven heads and given to the ten horns, the beast will make the mark compulsive. This will be a vain attempt to enforce peace by identifying those who are in covenant with the beast and those who are enemies and/or commit crimes. This will cause both true Christians and militants to be enemies of the state. The U.S. already has created the literal mark and is exporting it to the world. The U.S. will use their persuasion over the beast kingdom to make it compulsive in the midst of the tribulation. Many apostate Christians will take it and become reprobated. What is left of their life of submitting their “bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God” will cease as an “abomination that maketh desolate”.
In this same text we see the nature of this rebellion which breaks the covenant of peace. (15) But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? shall he break the covenant, and yet escape? This covenant is broken when the rebellious people of God, who were told by God to submit to Babylon, as we shall see, instead went to another “great eagle with great wings”, Egypt, for strength to fight with arms against her. (Ezk.17:7) There was also another great eagle with great wings and…this vine did bend its roots toward him. Notice that the same terminology is given to describe a second eagle. This is because both of these great eagles represent the U.S. Foolish Christians in the U.S. will go down to Egypt to fight with her when they see their rights being taken away or, for some, when they see the mark coming. What does Egypt represent? God’s people came out of Egypt and were baptized in the Red Sea where the Egyptians, representing the old man, died. To go back to Egypt spiritually is to trust in the strength of the old man, the arm of the flesh. (Isa.30:1) Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that make a league, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin, (2) that set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt! (3) Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion. Some of God’s foolish people with a conservative patriotic faction of this nation will take up arms to fight against it. This pits the “great eagle” against the “great eagle”, or civil war.
So God asked the question in our seven verse text: “shall he break the covenant, and yet escape” (Ezk.17:15)? God’s answer to this question is that these rebels will be crushed: (17) Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him in the war…. (18) For he hath despised the oath by breaking the covenant; and behold, he had given his hand, and yet hath done all these things; he shall not escape. … (21) And all his fugitives in all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward every wind: and ye shall know that I, the Lord God, have spoken it. When Peter used the sword to keep Jesus from going to the cross, He said, “All they that take the sword shall perish with the sword”. Even though the true saints will not obey the religious aspects of this peace covenant, they will not take “the sword” of man and break their covenant with God as the apostates and their leadership will. The last of the seven verses says this. (19) Therefore thus saith the Lord: As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, I will even bring it upon his own head. The righteous will keep God’s covenant even if it costs them their physical life.
FLEEING THE CROSS TO DESTRUCTION
God’s plan for His people is demonstrated by Jesus. (Jn.12:23) And Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. (24) Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit. (25) He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. (26) If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will the Father honor. As Jesus was a seed sown in the dirt of this earth, so must we be. The wicked of this world are the dirt that puts to death the fleshly husk of the seed so that the inner life may come forth and bear fruit. As a lamb does not struggle with a wolf, the seed does not struggle with the dirt but permits it to fulfill its purpose. (Lk.10:3)…I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves. In God’s plan wolves devour the flesh of the lambs. He uses the wicked to chasten His children. (2Sam.7:14) I will be his father, and he shall be my son: if he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men.
(2Cor.4:11) For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. (16) Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day. (17) For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory. The glory of God will be manifested in those who will “resist not him that is evil” but will “turn the other cheek” and permit the dirt to do its job. No one else can drive the nails, friend. You are unable to do it and other Christians shouldn’t do it. It is God’s plan to use the harlot and the beast to crucify our old man. (Acts 2:23) [H]im (Jesus), being delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye by the hand of lawless men did crucify and slay. (4:27) [F]or of a truth in this city against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together, (28) to do whatsoever thy hand and thy council foreordained to come to pass. Through death to self at their hands, the world will see Jesus in us and we will be enabled to fulfill the great commission. (1Pet.4:1) Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; (2) that ye no longer should live the rest of your time in flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
In the days when God’s people were ruled over by the Roman beast it was written: (Rom.13:1) Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the [powers] that be are ordained of God. (2) Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment. Though Christians are forbidden to take the mark and image of the beast, they are also forbidden to take up arms against secular nations over them. This puts the people of God in a position of weakness like Jesus when He submitted to His cross instead of fighting. Using Babylon and her king as a type of the U.S. and her President, God warned his people to submit to her as far as secular matters go. (Jer.27:5) I have made the earth, the men and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give it unto whom it seemeth right unto me. (6) And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant…. (7) And all the nations shall serve him…. (8) And it shall come to pass, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the Lord, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand. (9) But as for you (Christians), hearken ye not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreams, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: (10) for they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land, and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish…. (12) And I spake to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live. (13) Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon? (14) And hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for they prophesy a lie unto you. (15) For I have not sent them, saith the Lord, but they prophesy falsely in my name; that I may drive you out, and that ye may perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you. Fear this warning and do not listen to false prophets who come as patriots to stir up Christians to rebel against this country. Those that do, God will destroy by the hand of this government. In this way God will cleanse His body of those that refuse to obey and go to their cross. Here is a portion of a vision and prophecy through Chuck Youngbrandt:
Those who are rebellious against God will rebel against the government including the communist’s fifth columnists we have here. Military troops will have to be called out as a result. Some will repent but many will continue in rebellion. God said 90% of the rebellious and disobedient church people will die during this time.
Jesus said, “Love your enemies”, not shoot them, and “turn the other cheek”, not make war on them. That’s what those concentration camps are for, friends. They are expecting and waiting for Christians to “take the sword”. Our Lord said, “All they that take the sword shall perish with the sword”. I am certainly not excusing the government’s actions in any of this but if David Koresh had not broken God’s covenant and stored up that arsenal with the intent to use it against the government, he and his followers would still be alive. Bear witness that God did not defend them.
God will bring the U.S. against His people and their apostate leaders because they have ignored His covenant. (Hos.8:1) [Set] the trumpet to thy mouth. As an eagle [he cometh] against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law. (2) They shall cry unto me, My God, we Israel know thee. (3) Israel hath cast off that which is good: the enemy shall pursue him. (4) They have set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. In the days of Jesus we see this same type in these days. The apostate people of God were in bondage to the Roman beast for their rebellion against the Word. These stiff-necked people of God were in constant revolution against the Romans and paying a great penalty for it. (Mk.15:6) Now at the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him. (7) And there was one called Barabbas, [lying] bound with them that had made insurrection (revolution), men who in the insurrection had committed murder. (8) And the multitude went up and began to ask him [to do] as he was wont to do unto them. (9) And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? (10) For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up. (11) But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. (Jn.18:40) They cried out therefore again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber. Notice that Barabbas and many with him were in prison for making a revolution against the Romans. Jesus suffered in the place of this Jewish patriot. In like manner the true body of Christ will suffer innocently because of “Christian” patriots who will revolt against the U.S./U.N. beast. In another type, Barabbas was chosen out of all the Jews that were in prison with him to be released. Barabbas means “son of the father”. Because Jesus went to the cross, a remnant of these people who truly are “sons of the Father” will be forgiven and saved. Militant patriots do not understand what the Holy Spirit showed in this text, that killing Romans or Americans is “murder” and that those who steal from them are “robbers”.
Remember God did not defend almost one thousand very religious patriots whom the Romans destroyed. In 66 A.D. when the Jews rebelled against the Romans, they captured this mountain 1000 meters above the Judean wilderness. In a well-supplied, seemingly impregnable fortress, the Jews attempted for seven years to hold out against the Roman beast. In a clear type, all but a remnant of seven committed suicide and brought an end to the worldly state of Israel. “Christian” rebels in our day will, in effect, commit suicide by fighting against the beast and bring an end to the worldly state of the Church. The Timothy McVeigh’s of this world are not patriots in God’s kingdom. The real heroes are those who leave worldly governments up to God and choose their cross over rebelling against His Word.
Like Jesus, Paul gives us a type of how innocent Christians in our day will be falsely accused as rebels and imprisoned or killed. In Acts 21:38, a chief captain said to him, “Art thou not then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?” Notice once again that an Egyptian, representing the old carnal man, was leading Jews to kill Romans. The “Christians” who are led of the old man today will fight against the U.S./U.N. beast. God will not tolerate those who call themselves patriots in order to rebel against this government and His Word. (Rom.13:1) Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God…. (2) Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment. Jesus gave us permission to “flee” like sheep before the wolves, but not to fight in the flesh as wolves. (Mt.10:16) Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. (23) But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. Notice that this persecution will spread the Word through the cities of God’s people and He will come. Praise His Name!
While the carnal people of God were having their revolution against the government, Jesus and the disciples were having a spiritual revolution against them. Jesus said, “Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword (the Word). For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law: and a man’s foes [shall be] they of his own household” (Mt.10:34-36). Tertullus speaking against Paul’s revolution said, “For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of insurrections (revolutions) among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes” (Acts 24:5). Jesus and Paul’s revolution was to use the Word to separate the chosen from the carnal church. Neither of them had anything to do with wrestling with a flesh and blood beast system. That was the harlot’s revolution. We are to be patriots of the Lord’s kingdom, not the U.S. Like Jesus, “My kingdom is not of this world”.
Because they would not obey Jesus, the Jews were led by their deceiving leadership to their own destruction and that of their city in 70 A.D. This was also the cause of its destruction in other times. (Ezra 4:19) And I decreed, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old time hath made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made therein. (5:12) But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon. Every beast kingdom was raised up by God to chasten and bring into bondage and crucifixion His rebellious people and so it will be with the Babylon of our day. Our warfare is not with flesh and blood men but with the demon principalities and powers that rule them (Eph.6:12). (Mt.5:38) Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: (39) but I say unto you, Resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. (Jas.4:7)…resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Many will fight to keep from going into captivity but only God determines if one needs this for their maturing. (Rev.13:9) If any man hath an ear, let him hear. (10) If any man [is] for captivity, into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. Only God gives authority to the beast to bring His people into bondage or death. M. Cox relates a dream he had concerning these principles.
I had a dream so real that every time I think about it, it becomes more vivid just as if I was there. I was sleeping in our small farm house with a few other people one night. Sometime in the dead of the night all of a sudden I heard the thunderous boom of these military helicopters and airplanes. Then this helicopter landed right beside our house. All the occupants of our house were rounded up and taken away by the helicopter, probably to prison work farms. I was just standing there amazed thinking these people never resisted, or tried to run away. And they all acted like I wasn’t there. I thought that they had forgotten me. Soon after they left, another helicopter came. They were probably told that they had forgotten one of the occupants. I was naturally scared so I hid under the bed shaking like a leaf with my legs sticking out. The soldiers didn’t have any U.N. symbol but were probably a makeshift multi-national army. A black and a white soldier had yellow torches and M-16 machine-guns with them. They were looking and thrashing everywhere trying to look for me. The black soldier was looking under the bed I was under. The funny thing was I was right in front of him with my feet sticking out but it appeared he couldn’t see me. Suddenly, it dawned on me that I was invisible to the soldiers. They couldn’t see me. After awhile, the soldiers left frustrated not being able to find me. I must say that the fear and terror of the situation was unbelievable. A few days later this helicopter came and sprayed this chemical and the surrounding place turned all brown. They probably had been given orders to let no survivors that they couldn’t find live. Anyway even before they sprayed I noticed that the surrounding vegetation looked brownish, maybe from nuclear fallout. Miraculously, with all this happening I was still alive and the dream ended there.
Notice that God’s people did not resist and only those who needed captivity were taken. We should not put it beyond God’s ability to supernaturally hide those who do not need more crucifixion. If He could translate me halfway around the world, He can certainly make us invisible to the enemy. Bob Aicardi also had a dream like this.
I found myself cautiously walking the floors of a very large government building, which was occupied by foreign troops, and I knew that as an American I was not supposed to be there. I was noticed by a worker, who set off an intruder alert. Down the corridor the entrance doors slammed shut and locked. As I walked up to the doors they opened and I passed through to escape. Once outside, perimeter guards were alerted and were all about. I walked through them as invisible and saw another man doing the same thing. I said to him, “Isn’t the blood of Jesus wonderful?”
We see that not only can God protect those who are mature but He can also give rest to those who need to submit to their cross. (Jn.19:11) Jesus answered him, Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above. Like our Lord, we are to receive everything as from God and leave retaliation up to Him. (Rom.12:17) Render to no man evil for evil. Take thought for things honorable in the sight of all men. (18) If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men. (19) Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath [of God]: for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord. (20) But if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head. (21) Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. Our old man wants to live by defending self and retaliating, but our obedience to these commands crucifies that carnal nature in us.
Satan seeks through well-meaning people to keep us from this cross. (Mt.16:21) From that time began Jesus to show unto his disciples, that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up. (22) And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall never be unto thee. (23) But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art a stumbling-block unto me: for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men. Notice that Peter, by the spirit of Satan was a stumbling block by trying to dissuade Jesus from going to His cross. Peter later took the sword, to try to enforce his way and again met with rebuke. (24) Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. (25) For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. Even when we are at our best, the hidden carnal nature must be crucified. (1Pet.2:20) For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted [for it], ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. (21) For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps: (22) who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: (23) who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously. What could be clearer? We are to follow in Jesus’ steps by cooperating with God’s process of using the harlot religious system and the beast kingdom to bring us to the cross.
We are not to resist them by force. The laws of our kingdom do not permit us to fight in the flesh to escape captivity. (Jn.18:36) Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. In the days leading up to a civil war in the midst of the One World Order, many will stand up against the U.S. as the king of the South. Included among these are some of God’s people who will try to impose their vision of the kingdom of God in the U.S. by violent methods, but they will be killed. (Dan.11:14) And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the children of the violent among thy people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they shall fall. God will not permit fleshly methods to have any success so that His people learn to walk in the Spirit. (12:7)…[I]t shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of (self in) the holy people, all these things shall be finished. Notice that our temptation to use our own power must be crucified. (Zech.4:6)…Not by (our) might, nor by (our) power, but by my Spirit, saith Lord of hosts. War is of the world and is motivated by lust, not God. (Jas.4:1) Whence [come] wars and whence [come] fightings among you? [come they] not hence, [even] of your pleasures that war in your members? (2) Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; ye have not, because ye ask not. Those who join with the world to make war on their enemies are enemies of the cross and of God. (4) Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God.
Those who preach peace and safety, and refuse to cooperate with God in this process of falling to the earth to die, will be cut off. (Amos 9:8) Behold, the eyes of the Lord are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; save that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord. (9) For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, like as [grain] is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least kernel fall upon the earth. (10) All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, The evil shall not overtake nor meet us. We are coming to the same tribulation days of sifting as it was with Peter. (Lk.22:31) Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat: (32) but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not. Even though Peter initially denied the Lord, he got back up and became a strong leader who gave his old life. Satan is ordained of the Lord to sift the disciples to get the husk that is his, so that God may have the pure fruit of Christ. Here is a prophecy through Thomas S. Gibson that relates the persecution the U.S. will bring against Christianity to separate the true saints from the tares.
Thus says the Lord, repent and listen to the Word of God. Note that there shall be persecutions arising in all places, throughout the U.S. and Canada, and through Europe. These nations shall rise up in persecutions against My people. It shall purge the Church. Those of Mine, that are truly Mine, who walk in power and are committed to Me, they shall stand in this persecution no matter what it brings. But listen to Me, and heed Me. For thus saith the Lord, I am God, and I am allowing this, for it shall purge My Church. For there are many that shall quickly deny Me, shall quickly deny the truth, quickly revert to a world religion, shall quickly deny the power of the Word; they deny the truth of the Word. They shall quickly deny many things, and they shall become politically correct for the day and the age that they live. For they do not want to be in persecutions and they do not want to stand against the world. They love the world, and they are part of the world, and they were never part of Me. But they have a form of Godliness in the Church, and they were in the Church, shining as Christians and looking as Christians in outward appearance, but in their heart they were not of Me. This shall purge the Church and bring to pass what I have said; I will separate the sheep from the goats; that is, my people from the world.
God is sovereign in the happenings of history in order to show us what will happen in the latter days for, “That which hath been is that which shall be”. In the time of the tribulation of Christ’s day, Rome had swallowed up the people of God. Through Babylon’s type we see that the U.S. will swallow up the people of God before her fall. (Jer.51:34) Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath, like a monster, swallowed me up, he hath filled his maw with my delicacies; he hath cast me out. (35) The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and, My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say. Because the U.S. will try to save herself by sacrificing God’s lambs on the altar of religious unity and political correctness, God will take vengeance on her. (36) Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry. (37) And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling-place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant. … (41) How is Sheshach taken! and the praise of the whole earth seized! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations! (42) The sea (of men) is come up upon Babylon; she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof. (43) Her cities are become a desolation.
THE U.S. VICTORY AND DEFEAT
The U.S., as a secular Babylonish harlot, has not been faithful to her Christian roots. She has turned from Christ and united with the world in spiritual fornication. She will through bribery, politics, and military power continue to ride the U.N. world beast to the end of the tribulation. (Rev.17:3)…I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. … (5) and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH…. (15)…The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. As we have seen, Daniel was given a revelation of the image of the world beast that was historically true from his day to ours and also revealed the image “in the latter days (Dan.2:28)”. Babylon, as a type of the U.S., was the head of the nations (Dan.2:37,38), the golden head of the image of the world beast (3:1-3) that all of the lost would patriotically worship (4-6). God has a purpose in uniting the body of the antichrist beast in order to separate true body of Christ from them through the mark.
God has ordained that Babylonish U.S. rule over all nations, including the Muslim nations surrounding Israel. (Jer.27:2) Thus saith the Lord to me: Make thee bonds and bars, and put them upon thy neck; (3) and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon…. (6) And now have I given all these (Muslim) lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant…. (7) And all the nations (U.N.) shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the time of his own land come: and then many nations and great kings shall make him their bondman. According to this type, three generations of rulers, that are spiritually of the same seed, will rule over the U.S. and the world until it is time for U.S. (Babylon) to fall. The time span of the three kings of Babylon was the seventy years of captivity that the Jews endured. As we will see, this is a type of the last seven years of Christian captivity, which will be led by three rulers over a U.S.-led reformation of the world system. As of this writing we have not entered into this period but we can certainly see U.S. presidents setting precedents for this kind of world leadership since the fall, so-called, of the cold war enemies. At that time George Bush, Sr. came to power and did much to start the “New World Order”, as he phrased it, which will soon bring Christians into bondage.
Clinton did far more than Bush Sr. to take away freedom by executive order and set precedents for the coming kings. Because of terrorism Americans have given up many freedoms under the administration of George W. Bush. He is the ruler of modern Babylon. Since conquering Iraq he is also the ruler of the original land of Babylon, giving us a sign that he is a modern day Nebuchadnezzar. By removing the ruthless dictator, Saddam Hussein, he has insured that Iraq will destroy itself through anarchy, for they could only have a semblance of peace under iron-fisted leadership. As Bush continues to be true to form he will, like Nebuchadnezzar, continue on to destroy the Middle Eastern nations surrounding and including Israel. He has done more to destroy these nations by stirring up Muslim religious factions against one another than if he did it militarily. After conquering these nations Nebuchadnezzar was the first of the three kings that ruled them during the seventy (seven) years. That tells us that the leader of the U.S. who subdues those nations will be the first of the three leaders during the seven years of tribulation. At the moment that makes George W. Bush our number one suspect to be Nebuchadnezzar. As we shall see, he is the one conquering the exact same nations that Nebuchadnezzar did and will probably be ruler at the beginning of the seven year tribulation. By the way, the third generation ruler during those seventy (seven) years was Belshazzar. He and his leadership drank wine from the gold and silver vessels of God’s house (Dan.5:1-3). The wine represents blood as in the Lord’s Supper and the vessels are the saints. Like the harlot in Revelation 17 who drank from the gold cup and was guilty of the blood of the saints, so will be the leadership of the U.S. in the second 3-1/2 years of the tribulation.
The parallels between Nebuchadnezzar and George W. Bush are startling. As you know, Nebuchadnezzar fell out with his prognosticating psychics when they could not reveal his dream of the beast kingdom, and would have killed them but ended up only cutting them from the payroll. He found the prophet Daniel and friends far more revealing. Likewise, during the Clinton administration the various intelligence agencies were experimenting with psychics in their failed attempt to find out pertinent information on the enemies of the U.S. However, during the Bush presidency they cut the psychics from the payroll and sought help from prophets. In one case that I know of these prophets invoked the prayers of the saints to thwart one or more terrorist nuclear attacks planned for the U.S. Like Bush, Nebuchadnezzar professed belief in the true God when he said unto Daniel, “your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings” (Dan.2:47). However, because of Nebuchadnezzar’s pride in taking credit for building his world-ruling kingdom (4:29-31), God “let a beast’s heart be given unto him” for seven years. It was after this that he got a wonderful revelation of the God he only knew by name. This is a type for the future of the U.S. presidency, not that George W. Bush will last that long in the spiritual office of Nebuchadnezzar.
Just as Nebuchadnezzar was “made to eat grass”, which we saw represents flesh, so modern Babylon will devour grass, symbolizing the flesh of the saints and of the nations in order to bring them into the corporate beast kingdom. George W. Bush is being forced into making increasingly beastly decisions, like the “beasts of the field”, to fulfill the ambitions of many for the New World Order and to defend the U.S. The U.S. is ordained of God to consume not only the flesh of God’s people but also of the nations for His purpose of creating a One World Order, which will spiritually crucify the saints and separate them from the world with the mark. (Jer.27:8) And it shall come to pass, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish saith the Lord, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand. As a precedent for George W. Bush, God used the hand of George Bush, Sr. to “consume” Iraq and the hand of Clinton to “consume” Bosnia. As of this writing He has used the hand of George W. Bush to “consume” Afghanistan and Iraq for not submitting and Iran, Syria, and Lebanon are not far off. [Note: This was written a year or so before the Lebanon war. The Bush administration purposely dragged its feet in the U.N. to permit their ally, Israel, to do all it could to destroy Hezbollah and in the process Lebanon. During this time they sent emergency shipments of munitions to Israel.]
I believe that before the tribulation can start we will see another 9-11 attack on the U.S. far worse than the first 9-11. As a result the U.S. will retaliate on its Middle Eastern enemies far worse than with the first 9-11. After I had finished this book and given my opinions on this, I received a confirming vision that was given to Erich Reber in autumn 2002. Erich is a Swiss prophet who is reported to be very accurate. Erich says he was transported by the Spirit of God into U.S. cities and neighborhoods where saw an Islamic terrorist attack that left many thousands of people dead. The silver lining in all of this will be a wonderful revival even among Muslims. In 2005 he saw the vision again and God told him to speak it to America, which he did in May 6, 2006.
It looked far worse than after the 2004 Tsunami,” he said. “The result of this attack will be the emergence of a cloud of poison that will hover over the U.S., and then slowly, over a number of days, move towards Canada.”
This attack will have two results: First: it will lead to a great and new quest for God. The followers of Jesus in the U.S. therefore should get ready for a large harvest of people previously unmoved by God. Second, the U.S. as a nation will overreact and retaliate with military means so strong that this will lead to a huge humiliation and demoralization of the Islamic world. America and some political Allies will lead a military strike of such a force that millions of Muslims will cry out to Allah in desperation- in a similarly unanswered way as Christians in America who merely cry out to God to do something. Then, many Muslims will cry out for help “to anyone,” and this will be the time when Jesus will reveal Himself to them. This, in turn, will open an entirely new door for the gospel, and many Muslims will be brought into the Kingdom of God.”
Let me describe how I feel the scriptures show this U.S. attack on militant Islam will come to pass. Every new world order has been preceded by tremendous war in which they conquer the previous declining Empire. The wars that the U.S. is fighting against the Middle East, sometimes by proxy, have their type in Scripture. Babylon became the head of the new world order by defeating the huge Middle Eastern Assyrian Empire, whose capitol of Nineveh fell to them in 609 B.C.; some say 612 B.C. Nineveh is in the area of Mosul in Iraq, which the U.S. conquered. The Babylonians then chased them from city to city, like the U.S. is doing at this point. This parallel is even more striking when we consider that the Babylonians conquered the Assyrians when their chief male diety cult was the moon god. The crescent moon is the symbol of Islam and is clearly shown on the flags of the Muslim countries in and around the old Assyrian Empire. In the time of Gideon, who was a type of the man-child in tribulation, Israel conquered the people whose god was represented by their “crescents” (Judges 8:21,26). In the time when Isaiah cried to save Judah from Assyrian beast captivity God promised to take away from them the “crescents” (Isa.3:18). The last unified stronghold of the Assyrian moon god adherents before the new world order was Carchemish, which was the eastern capitol of the old Hittite Empire. Hittite means “terror”. Assyrians were known as the worst of terrorists. Bernie Monsalvo who wrote on anchient Middle Eastern Empires, wrote of them, “Assyrians seem to have been about the worst of them all. They built their state on the loot of other peoples. They practiced cruelty. They skinned their prisoners alive, or cut off their hands, feet, noses, ears, or put out their eyes, or pulled out their tongues, and made mounds of human skulls, all to inspire terror.”
From here, what was in type Islamic terrorists, made one last attack on the Babylonians at Haran. I believe this represents the next 9-11 attack on the U.S. This attack infuriated the Babylonians who threw all they had at Carchemish and destroyed them and their allies. This is historically when Babylon, as a type of the U.S., was recognized as the head of the new world order. It is just after this that the tribulation will begin. This whole sequence of events is related in Jeremiah 25. (Jer.25:1) The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (the same was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,) (2) which Jeremiah the prophet spake…. The “fourth year of Jehoiakim” is said by Jeremiah to be when Nebuchadrezzar defeated the Egyptians, who were allied with and fought along side the Assyrians, and represents the world of foreign insurgents fighting to stop U.S. democracy from taking root. (46:2) Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh-neco king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah. This battle was the end of the old order Assyrian Empire and beginning of the new Babylonian Empire. I believe this battle represents a terrible attack by the U.S. and allies on Middle Eastern Islamic enemies after and in retaliation for the next 9-11 attack on the U.S. symbolized by the attack on Haran.
After this in our Jeremiah 25 text Babylon, as a type of the U.S., ruled for seventy years before its own fall to the Medo-Persian bear in 539 B.C. This seventy years is a type of the seven years of tribulation in which Middle Eastern peoples will be destroyed by divide and conquer tactics or directly by the U.S. (Jer.25:11) And this whole land (Middle East) shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy (seven) years. Years ago when I was reading of this seventy-year captivity I heard the Spirit say, “seven years”. The “seventy years” that these nations and the Jews served Babylon are a type and a reverse abbreviation for the end time seven years of tribulation when the Middle East, Israel, and the Christians will serve Babylonish U.S. at the head of the world beast. This is confirmed in Revelation seventeen where the Harlot of Babylon is destroyed by the beast after riding it to the end of the of seven year tribulation. We will see much more proof that the seventy years are now seven as we continue.
Back in our Jeremiah 25 text we see that Babylon not only ruled the nations and the Middle East but also conquered the people of God. In fulfillment of this type God will use the U.S. to bring the Middle Eastern Muslim nations, Israel, and the New Testament people of God, the Christians, into bondage to their One World Order. (Jer.25:9)…[I will send] unto Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon (the U.S.), my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof (natural and spiritual Israel), and against all these nations round about (Muslim nations around Israel); and I will utterly destroy them. I am sure many patriotic American Christians will not want to believe their nation would turn on Israel but history must repeat. During the seventy years Babylon gradually brought the people of God under subjection. In fact they were the first to be attacked. After the Carchemish battle in 605 B.C. Judah's leadership along with Daniel and the three Hebrews were taken captive. Then in 597 B.C. Jehoiachin, the royal family, and the chief men of the land were taken into captivity. Eleven years later Israel’s puppet king revolted and after a three year siege Jerusalem was conquered in 586 B.C. and most of the remaining people were taken into captivity. This is a type of the U.S. coming attempts to pacify the Muslims, whom they will bring great destruction to, at the expense of Israel and the Christians. We can see this even now in the U.S as Islam is being introduced to traditionally Christian colleges and schools just as the apostate king Manasseh introduced the moon god into Judah (2 Ki.21:3). Many would wonder why the U.S. would bring Israel into bondage. Natural Israel already acts and is treated like it belongs to the U.S. It is even called “the State of Israel”. For the sake of its own peace, the U.S. is even now forcing Israel to give up their Promised Land to the Muslims. If as I suspect Israel should take the fall for the U.S. in being the first to strike Iran, you can expect to see the U.S. show her greatfulness by demanding Israel give up more land to appease the angry Muslim world and they may find a line drawn in the sand.
Since Christians always fulfill the types that Israel sets, we can expect the U.S. to continue to force Christians to give up their spiritual Promised Land to appease the Muslims. The U.S. leadership will seek to appear politically-correct so that their battle does not appear to be a Christian war against Islam. This they believe will allow them to continue to attack terrorists and those nations who support them. They feel forced into this position because terrorists will continue to attack the U.S. and her interests until her destruction. God is using the U.S. to scourge the Muslim nations which have persecuted and killed both natural and spiritual Israel. Since the U.S. rules the land of ancient Babylon, Iraq, we may expect her to reach out and take dominion over the lands that Babylon took, either by coercion, division of its religious factions, or military might.
During the seventy years Babylon was a cup of the wrath of God to a list of Middle Eastern nations in in Jeremiah chapters 45-49 and in our Jeremiah 25 text. In the same way the U.S. will be instrumental in smiting the modern day nations made up of their seed. (Jer.25.15) For thus saith the Lord…unto me: Take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. (16) And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. (17) Then took I the cup…and made all the nations to drink…[to wit], Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah… (19) Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants… (20) and all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of the Uz (Jordan), and all the kings of the…Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod (Palestinians); (21) Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon (Jordan); (22) and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon (Lebanon)… (23) Dedan, and Tema, and Buz (Jordan)… (24) and all the kings of Arabia (Saudi Arabia), and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the wilderness (Nomadic tribes); (25) and all the kings of Zimri (Syria), and all the kings of Elam (Iran), and all the kings of the Medes (Kurds); (26) and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach (Babylon/U.S.) shall drink after them (after the seven years tribulation). Notice that after bringing the cup of wrath to the individual Middle Eastern nations they will “be mad” (16), and then all nations seek to get even with Babylon as they together drink last in a war starting at the end of the seventy years in the day of the Lord. (27)… Drink ye, and be drunken, and spew, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you. Then we see another confirmation that Israel was the first to suffer in the seventy years as both they and the Church will suffer at the hands of the dragon. (29) For, lo, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should ye be utterly unpunished?
What would motivate the U.S. to trample these Muslim nations politically or militarily when polls show that Americans are tired of war? Terrorist strikes and the fear of them, nations contributing to the quagmire in Iraq, the Iranian nuclear threat, an administration looking for any excuse to hit Iran, etc. will continue to force the U.S. to seek out the enemy on his own soil. Although this will be carried out mostly by the U.S. and her allies, much of the destruction will be carried out by these nations among themselves through divide and conquer tactics. Dr. Samuel Doctorian received a confirming vision of a great war in these areas in 1998 on the Isle of Patmos.
The second angel said, “Harvest time has come in Israel and the countries all the way to Iran.” I saw those countries in a few split seconds. “All of Turkey and those [inaudible] countries that have refused me and refused my message of love shall hate each other and kill one another.” I saw the angel raise the sickle and come down on all the Middle East countries. I saw Iran, Persia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, all of Georgia - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, all of Asia Minor, full of blood… And I saw fire, nuclear weapons used in many of those countries.
I once asked the Lord to give me a sign from the Scriptures to confirm that the U.S. was really going to follow in the steps of Babylon. Without looking I opened my Bible and put my finger down on these verses. (Eccl.3:14) I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it; and God hath done it, that men should fear before him. (15) That which is hath been long ago; and that which is to be hath long ago been: and God seeketh again that which is passed away. During the seventy years Babylon brought devastation to ancient lands, which today are Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, and the Palestinians. Privately Syria is supporting the Iraqi resistance but publicly is siding with Iran against Israel and the U.S. Lebanon just lost a lot of infrastructure and not a few lives in the contest between Hezbollah and Israel, athough the latter lost the propaganda war. Jordan has fallen into the U.S. camp in fear of their own enemies who are round about them seeking to overthrow the Hashemite kingdom. Babylon also fought successful wars against parts of, or armies from the areas of Iran, Ethiopia, Libya, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Babylon did not annex these lands, except temporarily in some cases, but ruled them as the only world super power of that time. Militant Muslim volunteers from many nations are fighting against the U.S. to save Iraq from democracy. Saudi Arabia with a majority of Sunni Muslims surprised everyone with their peace plan which cozied up to the radical Shites in the Middle East against Israel and contrary to U.S. foreign policies. Iran has been supporting the Iraqi resistance with training, funds and military hardware. I believe their nuclear facilities will eventually be hit with conventional weapons by Israel and the U.S., which could start the great Middle Eastern war before the tribulation. However, in our list of nations subdued by Babylon in Jeremiah 25 above, Iran, along with the Medes, will be destroyed just before the last war when the remnants of all the nations rise up against Babylon at the end of the tribulation. The same timing is shown in Jeremiah 49:34-39 when Iran is destroyed by Babylon just before chapter 50 when Babylon falls. Notice also in Samuel Doctorian’s revelation, the span of nations are from Israel, where the Lord “begins to work evil”, to Iran, the last nation to fall. (The Medes are not a nation but are spread through several nations including Iran.) “Harvest time has come in Israel and the countries all the way to Iran.” I believe it may be towards the end of the tribulation that Iran will take out a whole U.S. army with one nuclear missile as Chuck Youngbrandt saw in a vision. He saw these U.S. troops gathering across the Persian Gulf from Iran when they fired this missile. Of course the U.S. military would be severely weakened but would destroy Iran with nuclear weapons afterwards. This would set the stage for the attack on the U.S. by the nations.
Right now Iran is flexing its muscles in the Middle East against Israel in order to keep the West too busy to do anything about their nuclear aspirations. Soon the whole Middle East will be at war. Nuclear weapons will be used this time and the U.S. will lose many soldiers and fight terrorism and nuclear strikes on its own soil. Ethiopia is falling more and more under the influence of the U.S. Libya, having observed the sudden fall of Iraq, decided that the cost of sanctions and the treatment of being an international pariah is too high and surrendered at least some of their weapons of mass destruction to the U.S., probably after selling some to terrorists. It appears that some nations will surrender to the will of the U.S. and her allies without personally fighting a war with them just as it was with Babylon. (Jer.27:11) But the nation that shall bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, that [nation] will I let remain in their own land, saith the Lord.
Let’s examine the above scenario in a different set of scriptures. Habakkuk’s prophecy shows us an unbelievable report that God plans to use Babylonish U.S. to conquer the Middle Eastern nations. (Hab.1:5) Behold ye among the nations, and look, and wonder marvellously; for I am working a work in your days, which ye will not believe though it be told you. We can also see that God is not using the U.S. as a vessel of honor. (6) For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans (Babylonians), that bitter and hasty nation, that march through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling-places that are not theirs. The following description of Babylon’s attack on the Middle East is also a good description of the U.S. war against Afghanistan and Iraq as a precedent for the coming seven years. (8) Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves; and their horsemen press proudly on: yea, their horsemen come from far; they fly as an eagle that hasteth to devour. (9) They come all of them for violence; the set of their faces is forwards; and they gather captives as the sand. (10) Yea, he scoffeth at kings, and princes are a derision unto him; he derideth every stronghold; for he heapeth up dust, and taketh it. (11) Then shall he sweep by [as] a wind, and shall pass over, and be guilty, [even] he whose might is his god. Even though it felt good to many patriotic folks to see God use the U.S. to set many oppressed people free, we are seeing that they are not free at all nor could they be, outside of Jesus Christ. Many are getting their eyes opened to understand that might does not make right. Even so God uses all vessels of dishonor. (Pr.16:4) The Lord hath made everything for its own end; Yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. When God uses the wicked to bring judgment, they cannot claim righteousness as vessels of wrath.
(Hab.1:6) For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans (Babylonians), that bitter and hasty nation, that march through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling-places that are not theirs. Why has the U.S. been “bitter and hasty” enough to take possession of others’ property? Because many Americans, along with their government, know that these nations have covertly supported the terrorist attacks. The indictment below was painted on the side of an Iraqi building by U.S. forces but far worse atrocities are coming from both sides.
Add to this that many Americans blame terrorists for the Murrah Federal Building and Flight 800. Habakkuk goes on to tell us that U.S. is taking these lands for gain and in order to be delivered from these attacks with the possibility of far worse to come. (Hab.2:9) Woe to him that getteth an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil! (10) Thou hast devised shame to thy house, by cutting off many peoples, and hast sinned against thy soul. Although God is using the U.S. to chasten Muslims for what they are doing to Christians and Jews worldwide, He does not agree with its prideful, lustful motives or its killing many people, including relatively innocent civilians. Speaking of Babylon God says: (5) Yea, moreover, wine is treacherous, a haughty man, that keepeth not at home; who enlargeth his desire as Sheol, and he is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all peoples. (6) Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and that ladeth himself with pledges! The U.S. “ladeth himself with pledges” from nations to back their invasion of Iraq and I am sure it will be so with these other nations.
At the end of the seven years the conquered nations will suddenly rise up to destroy and plunder the U.S., for they that live by the sword shall die by the sword. (7) Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booty unto them? (8) Because thou hast plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder thee, because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all that dwell therein. When the seventy years of Jewish bondage was over, God raised up the Medo-Persian bear to conquer the eagle of Babylon. In fulfillment of that type, after the Christian bondage in the seven-years is over, God will raise up Islam from the old Medo-Persian lands with the U.N. beast led by the Russian bear to destroy the U.S. eagle. (Jer.25:12) And it shall come to pass, when seventy (seven) years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it desolate for ever. (14) For many nations and great kings shall make bondmen of them, even of them; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands. Just as the ancient eagle of Babylon fell to the Medo-Persian bear after seventy years, so the modern eagle of the U.S. will fall to the same peoples along with the U.N. beast, led by the Russian bear and allies after the seven years of tribulation. Herein lies the key to prove that the seventy years will now be seven years. God dealt with Israel in “seventy years” but He will deal with the Church in seven years. The same “seventy years” are mentioned in the Word seven times. After seventy years, the Lord no longer forgave the Babylonish harlot of Israel for persecuting the saints. In 70 A.D. the Roman beast destroyed her as the saints were gathered to the mountains. After seven years tribulation in Revelation, the Lord no longer will forgive the U.S. harlot for persecuting the saints and the world beast will destroy her as the saints are gathered. (Mt.18:21) Then came Peter and said to him, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times? (22) Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times [and] seven. (The Numeric New Testament felt a need to separate the two time periods of “seventy times” and “seven”, although with italics. The Revised Version and the American Standard Version in the footnotes used “seventy times and seven” without the italics. It is likely that Jesus was referencing the “seventy and seven”-fold vengeance on those who would kill Lamech in Genesis 4:15,24.) (23) Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would make a reckoning with his servants. This “reckoning” came for apostate Israel for persecuting the Church after “seventy” years but will come for apostate U.S. for persecuting the Church after “seven” years. The day of the Lord is the reckoning for these, but it is also a reckoning for God’s righteous servants in the form of the rapture/resurrection.
Jeremiah spoke of the anger the conquered nations will have because of the cup of wrath given them through the U.S. (Jer.25:15) For thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, unto me: Take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. (16) And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. … (51:7) Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord’s hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are mad. (8) Babylon is suddenly fallen. The anger of the nations will seethe until they cooperate to destroy the harlot. This will be God’s vengeance because of the U.S. persecution of the New Testament temple of His people during their tribulation. (11)…The Lord hath stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it: for it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his temple. Not only the Middle Eastern nations but the whole U.N. beast will vent their anger on the heavy-handed Babylonish harlot because of her treatment of the saints. (Rev.17:6) And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus…. (16) And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her utterly with fire. (17) For God did put in their hearts to do his mind.
A civil war in the midst of the U.S. will weaken and distract her for this fall. The fall of ancient Babylon was preceded by a popular uprising that was put down by the government at the cost of much blood. This is a type of a coming revolution in the U.S. (Jer.51:46) And let not your heart faint, neither fear ye for the report that shall be heard in the land; for the report shall come one year and after that the report in another year, and violence will be in the land, ruler against ruler. For the first time since the Civil War we are going to hear “the report” of a credible revolutionary element in this country. Arrests of Americans stealing military weapons and making biological weapons have suggested that some are making preparations to fight with the government. The only thing lacking is enough provocation for the worldly to act, which persecution, the mark of the beast, economic hardship, and loss of freedom will provide. Then a charismatic rebel leadership will pull all the factions together. In other words, “ruler against ruler”, which means “the great eagle” will war with “the great eagle” as we have seen.
We are on the verge of a rebellion that will shock all Americans but what will follow will be even worse. Enemies of the U.S., angry because her heavy-handed rule over them, are a party to this internal revolution and plan to take advantage of it to attack from without. Even though some Christians in their ignorance of God’s ways will play right into the hands of the attackers, it is God who is bringing the judgment. (47) Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will execute judgment upon the graven images of Babylon; and her whole land shall be confounded; and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her. (48) Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for joy over Babylon; for the destroyers shall come unto her from the north, saith the Lord. Again, this great judgment will come on Babylonish U.S. because they will be guilty of the blood of the saints and prophets. (49) As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the land. An angel appeared to Dumitru Duduman and told him of this revolution and the fall of America.
He said,… “America will burn.”
I said, “How will America burn? It is so powerful.”
He said, “The Russian spies have discovered where the most powerful nuclear missiles are in America. It will start with the world calling for ‘peace, peace.’ Then there will be an internal revolution in America, started by the Communists. Some of the people will start fighting against the government. The government will be busy with internal problems. Then from the oceans, Russia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Central America, Mexico, and two other countries (which I cannot remember) will attack! (China and Korea are mentioned in another of his revelations.) The Russians will bombard the nuclear missile silos in America. America will burn.”
I said, “What will you do with the Church?”
He said, “The Church has left me.”
I said, “How? Don’t you have people here?”
He said, “People honor people. The honor that should be given to God, they give to other people. Americans think highly of themselves. They say, ‘I work,’ but they don’t. In the Church there is divorce. In the Church there is adultery and fornication. In the Church there is sodomy. In the Church there is abortion and all kinds of sin. Jesus Christ doesn’t live in sin. He lives in HOLINESS…. Tell them to start preparing themselves so I can save them in the day of trouble.”
I said, “How will you save the Church if America will burn?”
He said, “Tell them as I tell you. As He saved the three young men from the oven of fire and Daniel from the mouth of the lion, that is how I will save them. Tell them to stop sinning and repent.”
THE U.S. IS AMBUSHED
Ancient Babylon’s fall in 539 B.C. is a lesser fulfillment of Jeremiah 50 and 51. Revelation 18, written in A.D., 96 teaches that there will be an end time fulfillment of that prophecy. These chapters have their greater fulfillment in the fall of the end time Babylon of the U.S. In Jeremiah 50:24 God said, “I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware…because thou hast striven against the Lord”. Notice that the U.S. will be deceived into a trap. As we have seen, the Arabs are some of the ambushers of the U.S. but not the only ones. (Jer.51:12) Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes…(Hebrew: “Arab”). (13) O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come. We must take our description of “ambushes” from the Scriptures. Two places that describe ambushes are Joshua 7:2-5, 8:3-29 and Judges 20:19-48. In both cases the ultimate victor first lost a battle or battles to their enemies (U.S.) and then changed strategy. They feigned retreat to draw the enemy (U.S.) out of their city after them while armies were waiting in ambush to invade and burn the city. The signal for the fleeing armies to turn on the now unsupported enemy armies (U.S.) was the burning of their city. Then those who invaded the city would come out and the enemy would be caught between two armies. “Ambushes” is plural because both the city (U.S.) and its armies overseas on several war fronts will be ambushed.
The U.S. has spread its military thin and left the Babylonish city unprotected so many times that its enemies know how to conquer her. Daniel showed us how she will fall. He identified Babylon “like a lion, and had eagle’s wings” (Dan.7:4). This was the symbol that Babylon used in its day. The modern kingdom that uses the same symbol of the lion is Britain. Two of her major cubs who are military allies, Canada and Australia, still have the lion on their coat of arms. The U.S. is the third major cub whose two eagles’ wings symbolize the mighty air power of this lion. Daniel continued in that verse to say, “I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man”. The U.S. will ultimately lose its air power in this ambush becoming defenseless to modern warfare.
On November 22, 1995, Dumitru Duduman had a dream that was exactly like our ambush scenario. In it there was a great U.S. airlift apparently going overseas to a war over Israel and immediately afterwards enemy planes came into the U.S. loaded with atom bombs. No “wings” were here to stop them.
It was as if I was in Israel. A tall man came, took me by the hand and said, “Come, let me show you the holy city.” When we reached the holy city, all of it was covered in black netting from top to bottom. On top, at its peak, the city had a black flag. After seeing these things, I asked the man that was with me, “What does this mean?”
“Look up, and you will see the meaning,” he said. When I looked up, I saw a black emblem on which there was gold writing. It said, “Israel! You dishonor me and you mock me. You trust in the powers of men. Because you will not return unto me, I have this against you, and I will punish you with great fury. This is also to purify some who want to call upon me with a clean heart. The shame and blasphemy that they have caused has reached heaven.”
After I read these things, the man standing beside me said, “Let us leave this place, or we will be caught in the wrath.” It seemed I was suddenly on an American plane which was about to land with me in California. When I was about to disembark, I heard sirens which howled loudly, and a great sound of many plane engines was heard. The man with me said, “The punishment draws closer. Look closely and read.”
When I looked up, I saw a written scroll appear before my eyes. The writing was in Romanian. It said, “American people, those of you who have dishonored and mocked me, you who have brought hatred and blasphemy against my name throughout the world, for these things my vengeance draws closer. As for my children, those who have worshiped me with all their hearts, I will fight before them, and I will give them victory and safety. I will separate those who have worshiped me from those who have not, as I separated Goshen and Egypt.” I tried to read it one more time, but I could not. The writing had gathered into the scroll.
The noise of the engines grew even louder. The man beside me turned to me and said, “These are planes loaded with atom bombs, and no one and nothing will be able to stop them.”
Then suddenly a great number of black planes lifted off the ground like a flock of birds. I knew the planes were American, but I had no knowledge of what their purpose was or what they were supposed to do. Then the written scroll was thrown before me. I stepped closer to pick it up; but when I drew near, I saw that it burned with a blue flame. The flame began to climb into the sky.
As I was looking at the flame, I heard a voice coming from it saying, “My Word is righteous. I am the Christ who has brought this news to you. Do not be quiet. Tell the American people all that I have told you and all that I have revealed to you ahead of time, for the destruction which is coming over them I did not allow to come unannounced. The punishment is even at the door.”
The man beside me spoke again, “Look up.” When I looked, I could not see the sky because there were so many planes. Then the man said to me, “Thank the Lord for what He has shown you.” Then I began to pray and thank God. While I was praying, I heard a prophecy for myself. “Get ready and sanctify yourself, you and yours, that you may not take part in the trials that are ahead. This is why I have shown you these things. I have shown you what is to come in a short while. All that you have seen is at the door because the sin and wickedness have reached the throne of God’s mercy.” Then there was great lightning and thunder. I fell to the ground and was awakened from my sleep.
This dream shows that the timing of this judgment is clearly the day of the Lord because it is called “wrath” and “vengeance”. God said He would separate the righteous from the wicked and would defend them and make them safe, as in the ark or Goshen. The armies and their air force will be cut off from its source of supply as the Babylonish city is burned behind it in an ambush. When Babylon loses its “eagle’s wings”, it can only defend itself on “two feet as a man” (Dan.7:4). In the next verse this Babylonish unarmed “man” was beaten by a “bear” so the U.S. will be beaten by the modern bear of Russia, who will lead the nations against her. Dumitru also had a vision concerning the “bear” defeating the “man”.
The Lord showed me a very large bear. It was as big as a building, and it began to do battle with an unarmed man. “Do you see what I have shown you” a voice said, “This is how it will be when the hardships come over America. No one will be able to defend her. Only those that trust in Me will be spared.”
(Dan.7:5) And, behold, another beast, a second, like to a bear; and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. Notice that the bear is told to “Arise, devour much flesh” and “three ribs were in its mouth”. When the Russian bear at the head of the nations attacks, they will devour three continental divisions, or three ribs. As we have seen, the ten horns are the leadership of “Ten World Electoral and Administrative Magna Regions of the World”. The three which will lose their governmental authority as three horns in the beast kingdom through a civil war are 1) North America, 2) Europe, and 4) Australia; numbered according to the Club of Rome’s map in Chapter Fifteen. (Dan.7:8)…three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. Under these three horns are the lion with eagle’s wings. The main nations to be reckoned with in these continental divisions will be U.S. and Britain. Because of their nuclear capability they will be hit mercilessly in an attempt to stop any response. Russia has twice the number of nuclear warheads of the U.S. at over 16,000. China has about 400. Without the U.S., Canada will capitulate with little persuasion to nuclear and biological blackmail. Australia will have their hands full with Muslim invaders allied with Russia.
On April 22, 1996, Dumitru had another vision of the ambush of the U.S. This time the bear and its allies apparently ambush the U.S. when they go to defend Taiwan from China. Since Russia can only take out the U.S. once, it is obvious that the U.S. will be spread thin on more than one battle front when ambushed.
I prayed and went to bed. I was still awake, when suddenly I heard a trumpet sound. A voice cried out to me, “Stand!” In a vision, I was in America. I walked out of my home and began to look for the one who had spoken to me. As I looked I saw three men dressed alike. Two of the men carried weapons. One of the armed men came to me. “I woke you to show you what is to come,” he said. “Come with me.”
I didn’t know where I was being taken but when we reached a certain place he said, “Stop here!” A pair of binoculars was handed to me and I was told to look through them. “Stand there, don’t move, and look,” he continued. “You will see what they are saying and what they are preparing for America.” As I was looking, I saw a great light. A dark cloud appeared over it. I saw the president of Russia and a short chubby man, who said he was the president of China and two others. The last two also said where they were from, but I did not understand. However, I gathered they were part of Russian-controlled territory. The men stepped out of the cloud.
The Russian president began to speak to the Chinese one. “I will give you the land with all the people, but you must free Taiwan of the Americans. Do not fear; we will attack them from behind.”
A voice said to me, “Watch where the Russians penetrate America.” Then I saw these words being written: Alaska, Minnesota, Florida. Then the man spoke again,” When America goes to war with China, the Russians will strike without warning.”
The other two presidents spoke, “We, too, will fight for you.” Each had a place already planned as a point of attack. All of them shook hands and hugged. Then they all signed a contract. One of them said, “We’re sure that Korea and Cuba will be on our side, too. Without a doubt, together, we can destroy America.”
The president of Russia began to speak insistently, “Why let ourselves be led by the Americans? Why not rule the world ourselves? They have to be kicked out of Europe, too! Then I could do as I please with Europe!”
The man standing beside me said, “This is what you saw: they act as friends, and say they respect the treaties made together. But everything I’ve shown you is how it will REALLY happen. You must tell them what is being planned against America. Then, when it comes to pass, the people will remember the words the Lord has spoken.”
“Who are you?” I asked. He said, “I am the protector of America. America’s sin has reached God. He will allow this destruction, for He can no longer stand such wickedness. God, however, still has people that worship Him with a clean heart as they do His work. He has prepared a heavenly army to save these people.” As I looked, a great army, well-armed and dressed in white, appeared before me. “Do you see that?” the man asked. “This army will go to battle to save My chosen ones. Then, the difference between the Godly and the ungodly will be evident.”
Notice that the angels protect the elect in this Psalm 91 Passover for they are in the ark during this flood. Also one of the presidents said, “We’re sure that Korea and Cuba will be on our side too. Without a doubt, together we can destroy America.” Cuba has trained for this ambush. North Korea has starved its citizens to prepare for war with South Korea and U.S. forces there. The U.S. has sworn to defend Israel, Taiwan, and South Korea from enemies that will ultimately ambush the U.S. Like our scenario, these enemies have all been beaten once in their individual battles with her. It only makes common sense that they would all ally to lure her into ambushes at one time. This would draw so much of the military out that it would leave the U.S. mainland unprotected. The U.S. could not win this kind of war, and for those with eyes to see and ears to hear, she could not win against God almighty. The severely weakened U.S. military will be no match for the corporate superpower coming against them and they will know it. (Jer.51:30) The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they remain in their strongholds; their might hath failed; they are become as women: her dwelling places are set on fire… (31) one post shall run to meet another…to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter… (32) and the mighty men of war are affrighted.
God said he would bring a “company of great nations…against her” (Jer.50:9) and they would be “against her round about” (51:2). This is a far better description of the attack on spiritual Babylon than literal. This describes how Revelation says the harlot will fall to the ten kings in the last days. One sister we know of had a dream and saw a huge tornado over the ocean and then ten tornados drop down out of it to attack the U.S. This is clear that the U.N. world beast with its ten kings will attack the U.S. (50:41) [M]any kings shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth. This could not have been Babylon’s next door neighbor, the Medo-Persian kingdom, but it does describe an attack on the U.S. from Russia, China and the rest of the beast. They are in the “uttermost parts of the earth” in relation to the U.S. and they have been prophesied to do this. The Babylon in Jeremiah 50 and 51 is apparently destroyed by nuclear fire. Bob Hickman relates this vision he saw while praying on March 18, 2004.
I saw the earth spinning around from a far distance. The oceans were blue and the ground was green. I saw North America and America was separated by a neon white borderline. Then I heard these words, “I will make this a burnt mountain.”
(Jer.51:25) Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth; and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain. Consider these other statements about Babylon in the same text. (50:32) I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all that are round about him. (40) As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities. Ancient Babylon did not burn like Sodom and Gomorrah, as the U.S. will. The enemy diverted the Euphrates River which ran under the wall and through the city. Then in the darkness, they marched down the river bed, entered under the wall, and took the city without a battle. This happened while the leadership was drinking wine, representing blood, from the “vessels of God’s house” (Dan.5:1-4), who are His people. In the same way the harlot in Revelation 17:4-6 had “in her hand a golden cup” and was “drunken with the blood of the saints”. This fierce persecution in the U.S. and in the world because of the U.S. will come against the saints before this war.
Notice that in ancient Babylon, the enemy entered under the wall, not through it, but Jeremiah said, “her walls are thrown down” (Jer.50:15) and “her high gates shall be burned with fire” (51:58). The U.S. has no literal walls and gates. Nuclear missiles are America’s walls and gates because they are what they think will keep the enemy out but only God can do that. Years after the Lord showed this to me I was sent Kim’s vision.
I saw Putin’s eyes grow very dark and sinister and he snaps with a vicious mouth one time like a wolf. I sensed great rage. Then an angel said to her, “His rage makes the walls of America fall. She will no longer stand.”
I have read several dreams and visions where the U.S. fired its missiles during a nuclear attack. The missiles went up, turned over, and fell right back to earth killing many U.S. citizens. The “high walls were thrown down” and the gates burned up in their place. This kind of missile malfunction could be due to EMP, which we will discuss. Here is a portion of Evangelist A.A. Allen’s famous vision in the 1950’s.
Then suddenly I saw from the Atlantic and from the Pacific and out of the Gulf rocket-like objects that seemed to come up like fish leaping out of the water. (Missiles fired from submerged subs were unheard of at that time.) High into the air they leaped, each headed in a different direction, but every one toward the U.S. On the ground the sirens screamed louder, and up from the ground I saw similar rockets beginning to ascend. To me these appeared to be interceptor rockets although they arose from different points all over the U.S.; however, none of them seemed to be successful in intercepting the rockets that had risen from the ocean on every side. These rockets finally reached their maximum height, slowly turned over and fell back toward the earth in defeat.
Then suddenly the rockets which had leaped out of the oceans like fish all exploded at once. The explosion was ear-splitting. The next thing which I saw was a huge ball of fire. The only thing I have ever seen which resembled the thing I saw in my vision was the picture of the explosion of the H-bomb somewhere in the South Pacific. In my vision it was so real that I seemed to feel a searing heat from it.
As the vision spread before my eyes and I viewed the widespread desolation brought about by the terrific explosions, I could not help thinking, “While the defenders of our nation have quibbled over what means of defense to use, they have neglected the only true means of defense, faith and dependence upon the true and living God.”
Here is our ambush and through a first strike “her walls are thrown down” and “her high gates shall be burned with fire”. Granted, the ascending missiles in this vision could have been only a “Star Wars Missile Defense System” that failed to intercept the targets. If so, the nuclear defense missiles were destroyed in their silos. The nuclear sub missiles in this vision were only fifteen minutes from any major city in the U.S. This would not give enough warning time. After the walls and gates are down, an invasion will follow. We will see in the next chapter how Gog will lead Russia at the head of the nations to destroy the U.S., saying, “I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates” (Ezk.38:11). Only the supernaturally blinded believe that the Russians are not a superpower at this time. It is possible for the Russians with a first strike to take out many of the U.S. land-based nuclear missiles and the submarine-based nuclear missiles. The Russians have known that their military future was in nuclear subs which they have never stopped making, even in hard times. When the West bargained away many of their land-based nuclear missiles, the Russians wisely threw their strategy behind subs which are very hard to target effectively. In the early eighties I heard a testimony in Denham Springs, Louisiana. A man (name forgotten) died and had an out-of-body experience.
An angel took him above the U.S. and pointed out each state. He said such and such state 70% destroyed… such and such state 80% destroyed. As he watched, each state exploded like the bugs on “insecticide commercials”. When the angel had finished, he asked, “How could this happen?” The angel said, “The Russians have a weapon that neutralizes electricity.” (At the time of this revelation few, if any, knew of this weapon.)
Without electricity our missile guidance systems would not work; and if fired, our missiles could go up and fall back upon us. The electromagnetic pulse (EMP) from a single hydrogen bomb exploded 250 miles above central U.S. would set up electrical field strong enough to destroy semi-conductive chips over most of North America. This would make useless, automobiles, industry, railway networks, electric power, phone systems, and water systems. The same goes for our high-tech military defenses although some of the latter have received resistant chips or been hardened in other ways to EMP. However, ninety-five percent of our military communications go through commercial channels which are not hardened. Russian nuclear missile subs are only minutes in striking time from any place in the U.S. and are capable of turning us into a third-world nation technologically before nuking our cities. An Iranian military journal publicly suggested that launching an EMP attack on the U.S. would defeat her. They have tested mid-air detonations of their Shahab-3 medium-range missile fired from ships over the Caspian Sea. Since they haven’t the technology for ICBM’s this would be a cheap, easy method. Of course, they and the Russians could use terrorists to avoid retaliation. Al Qaeda is believed to own about 80 ships capable of doing this.
EMP is the preferred method for quickly incapacitating whole nations with nuclear weapons; however HPM is preferred for situations like Iraq where the oil industry was desired to remain as much as possible intact or you didn’t want to knock out your own equipment. HPM (high-power microwave) weapons on unmanned drones or cruise missiles is a combination that uses stealth to scramble the brains of missiles or go deep underground to destroy sophisticated communications and electronics through anything that conducts electricity. Whatever the method, communications will be lost in the coming battle for the U.S. Henry Gruver was given a vision of this.
I was in Wales on December 14, 1985. I went up on top of the Eagle Tower in the Caernarvon Castle. (The over comers in the tower of the flock will know what is coming but the worldly will not.) It had eight points on it. Each of the points on it were eroded eagles. This castle was built in the 12th century. I was overlooking the Irish Sea toward the North Sea, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the tip of Scotland, Greenland, Iceland, in that area. All of a sudden I was up above the earth looking down upon the earth like a globe. As I looked down on the earth, I saw a massive amount of all kinds of ships and airplanes. They were coming from up above Norway, out of this inlet. They headed down between the U.S. and Europe. They literally covered the whole Atlantic.
Then I wanted to see what was happening to the U.S. I looked over on the globe at the U.S. I saw coming out of the U.S. these radio communication towers. I saw the jagged lines like they draw to show that communications are coming out. All of a sudden, as I was looking down on them, they began to sprinkle down on the earth like dust. I thought, “Oh, no! They are not getting through! They are not getting through! They don’t know what is happening! They are totally oblivious!”
Then I began to see all of these submarines emerging from under the surface. I was surprised at how close they were to our borders! They were in our territorial waters. Then I saw the missiles come out of them. They hit eastern coastal cities of the U.S. I looked over across the country where my family was over in the northwest side, and I saw the submarines. I saw the missiles coming out and hitting the western coastal cities. I cried out and said, “Oh, God! Oh, God! When will this be, and what shall be the sign of its coming?” I heard an audible voice speak to me and say, “When Russia opens her doors and lets the masses go, the free world will occupy themselves with transporting, housing, and feeding and caring for the masses, and will let down their weapons and cry ‘peace and safety’. Then sudden destruction will come. Then is when it will come.” That was December 14, 1985. Glastnost and Parastroika [sic] were unheard of at that time!
The public is usually twenty years behind on what the latest military technology is. Retired Lt. Col. Thomas Bearden, PhD, MS, BS, is an expert in the field of EM (electromagnetic) research. On his website www.cheniere.org/books/ferdelance/index.html or in his book Fer De Lance he gives more than ample evidence through eye witnesses and CIA reports, accessed through the Freedom of Information Act, to the Russian experiments with futuristic scalar weapons. These are capable of focusing electromagnetic energy over vast areas to destroy communications, nuclear missiles, nuclear subs, squadrons of planes, and fleets of ships, power grids, or armies. They can cause earthquakes, volcanoes, and drastically alter weather patterns. They appear to be generations ahead of the potential in the U.S. HAARP project. Amazingly, the Russians stole the research from an immigrant to the U.S. upon his death. Nikola Tesla was responsible more than any other man in bringing the world into the modern electric age with his fantastic inventions. In his latter years he offered to the WWII allies the plans for a “death ray” that he said would shoot down the enemies’ planes with bolts of electrical energy. He was thought to be losing his mind and wasn’t taken seriously, but the Russians took his research seriously. Bearden reports that they tested the scalar EM death ray in Afghanistan. He also reports that it can destroy tanks or knock down jets or choppers with one shot. It can also render entire groups of infantrymen unconscious or kill every living cell in their bodies instantly. When I heard of this, I remembered Bob Aicardi’s dreams concerning Americans being knocked out in an invasion.
In dream one, I found myself in an unfamiliar city. As I walked through the neighborhood I saw there was no car traffic or human activity. There was no evidence of destruction; however, people were on the ground here and there having been knocked out or stunned. As I continued through the neighborhood, slowly people began to become conscious and struggle to their feet one by one. Then I had dream two, which was a repeat of the above. In dream three, I found myself outside what appeared to be a mall. People were not shopping. Things had changed. There was a foreign occupation in our country. Soldiers were inside the mall and outside. There were executions taking place in the distance. The chief executioner in charge was a cold-blooded female. People were scattering in different directions and trying to hide in the forests.
The Tesla Dome or Shield is a scalar weapon capable of containing armies and even their most lethal weapons with EMP over hundreds of miles. It can also defend armies or nations the same way. This Tesla Shield and the Tesla Globe, which uses far more intense EM power, would destroy all electronic circuitry in missiles and their nuclear warheads in the air or in their silos. Here is a summary of a report by Bearden concerning a covert demonstration of one of these weapons on the U.S.
Khrushchev announced their new “fantastic weaponry” under development in a 1960 speech to the Soviet Presidium. In 1962 Khrushchev was forced to back down in the Cuban Missile Crisis because these weapons were not yet operational. However on April 10, 1963 he got even by detecting and destroying the U.S.S. Thresher nuclear sub using a scalar EM howitzer. The next day he demonstrated for the U.S. naval search vessels in the Atlantic a giant underwater EM explosion beneath the ocean 100 miles north of Puerto Rico.
Such weaponry is emboldening the Russians to believe that victory over the west is attainable without heavy personal loss. On December 8, 1996, Russian missile subs were discovered off our coasts, inside territorial waters, opposite our missile silos; and their attack subs were tracking our missile subs. With these dry runs to test resolve and reaction time they have discovered they can achieve a first strike. They have the U.S. vastly outnumbered in nuclear warheads and nuclear subs. Doesn’t all this sound as if they have had a long-range plan that is very important to them?
The U.S. military will be technologically deaf, dumb, and blind during the coming battle. I had a prophetic dream in which a general was receiving no communication and giving none, probably due to the technology discussed, or loss of satellites, or both.
Around 1996 I had two very vivid dreams. First, I saw military bases in the U.S. being bombed and strafed. In the second dream, I was on a mobile military base that was in the midst of war somewhere in the heart of America. I heard the thoughts of military leaders who were fearful and confused. I saw leaders begging their general for orders saying, “We’re being attacked. We must have orders.” The general replied very anxiously, “I have received no orders; I don’t know what to do.” For some reason there was no communications. I knew that this was a large scale invasion of the U.S. I saw a massive desertion of the military. I saw a group of deserters with keys in their hands looking for the military vehicles that their individual key fit. The Lord put me in the seat beside one of them as he frantically tried to get to his family down South in the eastern gulf states. I heard his tormented thoughts concerning them. An invasion front blocked our path and he very sadly had to turn around.
Losing our satellite eyes in the sky could explain how the nations could prepare for war against the U.S. without her knowledge, as Henry Gruver’s vision implies. Losing global positioning and communications satellites would severely hamper the military in a war with overwhelming forces such as the Bible describes. This could easily happen through laser or scalar weapons that the Russians have.
Do you remember my son Justin’s open vision? The Lord showed me that there was more than one interpretation to it.
He saw a great ship on the ocean, filled with people. Some were dressed in white and were on the right side of the ship (the sheep). Others in black were on the left side (the goats). A jet plane suddenly appeared, swooped down, and shot a rocket which blew the ship to pieces. Those dressed in black were not able to swim and sank. (The water represents the curse of the Word as in Noah’s case.) The people dressed in white swam around and built a new smaller ship from the pieces. They searched out a smaller motor and installed it on the new ship.
The two interpretations to this vision are this. Both the religious Babylon of apostate religion and the secular Babylon of the U.S. will be like a large ship sunk in the ocean. (Rev.18:21) And a strong angel took up a stone as it were a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with a mighty fall shall Babylon, the great city, be cast down, and shall be found no more at all. (Jer.51:64)…Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise again because of the evil that I will bring upon her. I want to point out once again that Babylon is an evil spiritual entity that has taken over the land and people of the U.S. and will be utterly destroyed. However the land, though devastated, and a remnant of the lost people, will not be utterly destroyed. The land will be inhabited by a remnant of these lost people during the Millennium. Only those dressed in white will be saved to live in the kingdom. Because of the great falling away there will be a smaller “Gospel ship”, with a smaller motor, which is the new Church government. Some of these will finish their testimony in the tribulation and enter the fullness of the kingdom through martyrdom. Some will survive the tribulation and forty days of the Lord’s wrath, including the judgment on the U.S., and be “alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord”.
PROTECTION FOR THE SAINTS
We established in chapter three that after the tribulation, the sun and moon are darkened with the attack on the U.S. in the beginning of the day of the Lord’s wrath. Then after forty days Jesus takes His saints as the ark lifts off. (Mt.24:29) But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light… (30) and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and…. (31) And he shall send forth his angels…and they shall gather together his elect. Also we have seen that Cyrus, as a type of Messiah, led the armies to attack Babylon and afterwards set God’s people free to go to the New Jerusalem. All of this tells us that God’s people will be here for the nuclear exchange and biochemical warfare but will be taken out afterwards. Remember in chapter three we saw that both Noah and Daniel’s timing agreed that the saints would be here after the tribulation during forty days of the wrath. (Gen.7:10) [A]fter the seven days… (17) the flood was forty days…and bare up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth. Also we saw that Daniel tells us to count 1335 days after the midst of the week of tribulation till we come to the resurrection/rapture (Dan.9:27, 12:11-13). With the solar correction this again comes to forty days after the tribulation and into the wrath.
The question in many minds is, “What will happen to ‘we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord’ when the wrath is on every side for forty days?” As with Noah, the righteous among God’s people will abide in the ark of Christ in order to be preserved from the wrath. (1Thes.5:9) For God appointed us not into wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. Those who are “righteous” and “keep His ordinances” will be “hid” in the safety of the ark in “the day of the Lord”. (Zeph.2:1) Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation (God’s people) that hath no shame; (2) before the decree bring forth, [before] the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord come upon you, before the day of the Lord’s anger come upon you. (3) Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, that have kept his ordinances; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye will be hid (in the ark) in the day of the Lord’s anger.
During the days when the saints are in the spiritual ark before it lifts off, they will see with their natural eyes the flood destroying the wicked. (Ps.91:8) Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked. The Lord said to me, “During that last forty days there will be a corporate, Psalm 91, Passover of the curse for the saints.” Though Psalm 91 is always true for those who walk by faith, there will be a corporate fulfillment of its total protection during the forty days for those in the ark. In Psalm 91 we can see that for the one that “dwelleth in the (ark of the) secret place of the Most High” who will “say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust”, there will be total protection from the nuclear “arrow that flieth by day”, the biological “pestilence that walketh in darkness”, and “the destruction (of war and natural catastrophes) that wasteth at noonday”. Hidden in the ark of Christ, “A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; [But] it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked. For thou, O Lord, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. I certainly believe there will be cities of refuge during this flood of destruction but many saints will not be in them. Wherever they are the “angels” will “keep thee in all thy ways” during the first forty days of the flood and then they will leave.
The Hebrew word translated “pestilence” above means an epidemic disease. However the word “plague” which we would normally equate with pestilence is not at all restricted to an epidemic. The Hebrew word for “plague” here just means “a blow”, or “to smite”. The judgments that God brought upon Egypt were all called “plagues” (Ex.9:14,11:1). (Ps.91:10) There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. Notice in the text of this verse that if we are in the secret place (ark), we are not under the “plagues” or judgments of God. This is witnessed also in Exodus 12:13, “And the blood (of the Lamb) shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.” In this text the blood of the Lamb (Jesus) grants us a Passover from all plagues. (1Cor.5:7)…For our Passover also hath been sacrificed, [even] Christ. (Gal.3:13) Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. The last forty days is going to be a Passover of the curse, just as was the last plague for Israel before they left Egypt as a type of the world. Again, the Passover is true for all believers all of the time, but it will be believed in the last days and so there will be a corporate fulfillment for those who “are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord” in the first forty days of the day of the Lord. The Lord is going to save the hearers and doers of His Word from this judgment (Mt.7:24-27) because “righteousness delivereth from death” (Pr.11:4,6) but “[t]he soul that sinneth, it shall die” (Ezk.18:20).
I WILL VISIT YOU
As was the historical type, after the time of captivity in all nations under Babylon, the Lord will come to gather His saints. (Jer.27:22) They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be, until the day that I visit them, saith the Lord; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place. The Lord will come after the seven years of tribulation and bring the saints “up” to the New Jerusalem. (Jer.29:10) For thus saith the Lord, After seventy (seven) years are accomplished for Babylon, I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. “This place” represents the New Jerusalem for the first Jerusalem had been destroyed. (11) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end. (12) And ye shall call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. (13) And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Through tribulation the true Church and a born again remnant of Israel will be motivated to really seek the Lord and bear His fruit. Then He will harvest His crop. (14) And I will be found of you, saith the Lord, and I will turn again your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places wither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you again unto the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive. Notice that after the seven years God says that “I will visit you” and “I will gather you from all the nations”. Every born again child of God begins his/her spiritual life by hearing the voice of their God but they are soon “carried away captive” from their spiritual land to Babylonish religion and nationalistic patriotism, and yet God will gather them to their one true “holy nation”.
Tyre is another type of Babylonish U.S. In its type we can see another confirmation to the above scenario. Tyre was compared to Babylon in its destruction. (Isa.23:1) The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in…. (13) Behold, the land of the Chaldeans: this people was not; the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness; they set up their towers; they overthrew the palaces thereof; they made it a ruin. (14) Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for your stronghold is laid waste. The parallels between Tyre, Babylon, and the U.S. are too numerous to mention. All are the dominant, extremely rich, centers of trade in their time. The two common texts that speak of the fall of Satan depict him as ruling the world as the king of Tyre (Ezk.28:12-17) and the king of Babylon (Isa.14:4,12-15). Now I ask you, who rules Babylonish U.S. as the head of the nations? Satan is the “god of this world”.
There are many more proofs that Tyre is a type of Babylonish U.S. Tyre is said to be “in the heart of the seas” (Ezk.27:4,27). Natural Tyre was in the Mediterranean sea (singular) next to the coast, not “in the heart”. Spiritual Tyre, the U.S., is “in the heart of the seas”, (plural). Tyre was occupied by Christian Crusaders in 1124 A.D. and later conquered by Muslims in 1291 A.D. and so it will be with the U.S. Both are isles north and west of Israel, which were thought impregnable due to their naval power and position in the sea. Tyre imposed her dominance by her merchant ships of Tarshish. The U.S. has imposed her dominance by the “merchants of Tarshish with all the young lions thereof” (Ezk.38:13). Britain’s national symbol is the lion, and her English-speaking “young lions” are of course the U.S., Canada, and Australia, along with the other commonwealth nations. As Alexander the Great conquered Tyre with 120 warships, so the prophets have foretold that Russia and the U.N. would conquer the U.S. with a great armada of warships. Sidon was the center of the Phoenician Empire and colonized Tyre (Isa.23:2,12) just as Britain was the center of the British Empire and colonized the U.S. Geographically Tyre is south and west of Sidon just as the U.S. is south and west of Britain. Just as Sidon was superceded in world dominance by its offspring Tyre so Britain was by its offspring, the U.S. Compare God’s statement about Babylon: “For thus saith the Lord, After seventy (seven) years are accomplished for Babylon, I will visit you…” (Jer.29:10) with His statement about Tyre: “And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy (seven) years, that the Lord will visit Tyre” (Isa.23:17). Notice that both Babylon and Tyre were visited after seventy years by the Lord just as the U.S. will be after seven years, “and she shall return to her hire, and shall play the harlot with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth” (Isa.23:17). Also both Babylon and Tyre were harlots having relations with “all the kingdoms of the world” clearly making them a type of end time Babylonish U.S. All three are destroyed for their harlotry.
We have seen that after seven years of the world being subjected to the U.S. they will join together to destroy her when the Lord comes for His saints. Now we will see that it is the Lord Who will lead the kings of the earth to destroy the harlot and set His people free to go to their heavenly Promised Land. King Cyrus led a coalition of the Medo-Persian bear to conquer the eagle of Babylon and liberate the Jews, after their captivity in tribulation, to build their new Jerusalem for apostate Jerusalem had been destroyed. In like manner Christ will lead the nations under the Russian bear to conquer the Babylonish eagle and set His people free from all nations under her dominion to build the New Jerusalem. Scriptures clearly show Cyrus as a type of our Messiah and Shepherd to do this. (Isa.44:28) [T]hat saith of Cyrus, [He is] my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure, even saying of (New) Jerusalem, She shall be built. (45:1) Thus saith the Lord to his anointed (Hebrew: “Messiah”), to Cyrus…. (13) I have raised him (Cyrus/Christ) up in righteousness, and I will make straight all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward (by grace), saith the Lord of hosts. Hidden within Cyrus is a type of God in Jesus our “Savior”. (14)…Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God. (15) Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself (in Cyrus), O God of Israel, the Savior.
After liberating the people of God from Babylon, Cyrus used them to build the new Jerusalem. About 2500 years later, Jesus will fulfill this type in liberating His people in bondage to the U.S. and the nations under her to build His born again city, New Jerusalem. Our Messiah uses His true people to build His New Jerusalem. (Rev.21:9)…Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb. (10)…and showed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. The Lord is bringing His people to maturity through tribulation and liberating them in order to build His New Jerusalem house. (Eph.2:19) So then ye are no more strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God, (20) being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone; (21) in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord; (22) in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit. Notice that each building is put together with the others. This is the temple of God’s people put together into one. (Jn.14:2) In my Father’s house are many mansions (Greek: “abodes”); if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. (3) And if I go and prepare a place (in the Father’s house) for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also. Keep in mind that the Father’s house is where He lives. We are the rooms or abodes of that house and He lives in us. “Mansion” is the same Greek word as “abode” used in verse 23. (23)…If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. Contrary to popular opinion, those who have taken advantage of God’s grace and obeyed Him are His temple, house, and city.
The Bible Code says that Russia, China and the U.S. will be involved in a nuclear world war. China and Russia have an agreement for mutual defense in the Shanghai Pact, or S.C.O., set up June 15, 2001, by Chinese President Jiang Zemin and Russian President Vladimir Putin along with the leaders of several Central Asian nations. Its military alignment was modeled mostly after the old Soviet-led Warsaw Pact. These nations have a combined population of 1.5 billion and combined military manpower of 3.6 million. Iran, Mongolia and Turkmenistan have already made clear they want to join the pact, a development that would add another 78 million people to the pact and raise its combined military forces to 4.2 million. It is clear these and many more will join against the U.S. and Israel in Ezekiel 38. Several years ago the B.B.C. interviewed Chinese troops practicing amphibious landings in the Formosa Straights and by their own admission they were practicing to invade America. Cuba has practiced for the same thing in North Korea. It is clear from the Word that this nuclear world war will happen after the tribulation. We can see the timing of the tribulation, fall of the U.S., and coming of the Lord in the following texts. First, the Lord gathers a great U.N. invasion force against Babylonish U.S. (Isa.13:1) The burden of Babylon.… (4) The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as of a great people! the noise of a tumult of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! the Lord of hosts is mustering the host for the battle. (5) They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land. This attack begins the day of the Lord after the tribulation.
Yacov Rambsel found some interesting Bible codes in this text (2-6). He found “The day of woe” and “The Meggido” in the same skip sequence of 102. “Meggido” is the place where the world war starts that is generally called Armageddon. He found “Gog” and “Magog”. “Gog” is the principality that leads the northern army against the U.S. and Israel in that year-long war. He found “The Babylonians shamed”. He found “Yeshua” and “He will return” in the same skip sequence of 120. All this identifies the day of the Lord when He comes to pour out His wrath and take His saints. (9) Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation (abomination that maketh desolate), and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
The desolation of the U.S. will begin the day of the Lord in which the earth will experience a year of nuclear, biochemical, and natural devastation. The nuclear exchange begins the attack on the U.S. and because of nuclear debris in the atmosphere, will darken the sun and moon. (10)…[T]he sun shall be darkened in its going forth, and the moon shall not cause its light to shine. This is immediately after the tribulation and just before the Lord gathers the elect. (Mt.24:29) But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light… (30) then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven… (31)And he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect. Back in our Isaiah text we see that this begins the first true world war. (Isa.13:11) And I will punish the world for [their] evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. The Lord in His wrath will use this unlimited nuclear exchange to shake heaven and earth. (13) Therefore I will make the heavens to tremble, and the earth shall be shaken out of its place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.… (19) And Babylon…shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. (20) It shall never be inhabited.
Jeremiah gives us the same sequence of events. After the tribulation, the U.S. is desolated by a nuclear exchange that also destroys the nations. (Jer.25:12) And it shall come to pass, when seventy (seven) years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity…and I will make it desolate for ever.… (31) A noise shall come even to the end of the earth; for the Lord hath a controversy with the nations; he will enter into judgment with all flesh: as for the wicked, he will give them to the sword, saith the Lord. (32)…Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation (nuclear missiles), and a great tempest shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth. (33) And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the face of the ground. Radiation hinders gathering or burying the dead and using the territory. (Jer.51:26) And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever.
The ancient city of Babylon was in the process of being rebuilt by Saddam Hussein so it could not have been a fulfillment of this verse. Radiation after a nuclear war explains these verses and also Revelation 18:15 which says they “shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment” (also stated in verses 10 and 17). What else could destroy Babylon in “one hour” (Rev.18:17), “suddenly” (Jer.51:8), by “fire” (50:32,40)?
VISION OF THE FALL
I would like to share with you one of the fullest visions of the fall of America I have seen. It was given to Evangelist A.A.Allen in the 1950’s.
“As I stood atop the Empire State Building, I could see the Statue of Liberty, illuminating the gateway to the new world. Here, spread before me like an animated map, is an area 60 or 80 miles in diameter. I was amazed that the Spirit of the Lord should so move me, there atop the Empire State building. Why should I feel such a surge of His Spirit and power there?
Suddenly I heard the voice of the Lord. It was as clear and as distinct as a voice could be. It seemed to come from the very midst of the giant telescope; but when I looked at the telescope, I knew it hadn't come from there, but directly from Heaven. The voice said, 2 CHRONICLES 16:9, "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou has done foolishly; therefore, from henceforth thou shalt have wars." Immediately when I heard the voice of God, I knew this was a quotation of scripture; but never before had a thing come to me so forcibly by the power of the Spirit.
The ticking of the telescope stopped. The man before me had used up his dime's worth. As he stepped away, I knew that I was next. As I stepped to the telescope and dropped in my dime, immediately the ticking started again. This ticking was an automatic clock which would allow me to use the telescope for a limited time only. As I swung the telescope to the north, suddenly the Spirit of God came upon me in a way that I had never thought of before. Seemingly, in the Spirit I was entirely caught away. I knew that the telescope itself had nothing to do with the distance which I was suddenly enabled to see, for I seemed to see things far beyond the range of the telescope, even on a bright, clear day. It was simply that God had chosen this time to reveal these things to me, for as I looked through the telescope, it was not Manhattan Island that I saw, but a far larger view.
That morning much of the view was impaired by fog; but suddenly as the Spirit of the Lord came upon me, the fog seemed to clear until it seemed that I could see for thousands of miles, but that which I was looking upon was not Manhattan Island. It was all of the North American continent spread out before me as a map is spread upon a table. It was not the East River and the Hudson River that I saw on either side, but the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans; and instead of the Statue of Liberty standing there in the bay on her small island, I saw her standing far out in the Gulf of Mexico. She was between me and the United States.
I suddenly realized that the telescope had nothing to do with what I was seeing but that it was a vision coming directly from God; and to prove this to myself, I took my eyes away from the telescope so that I was no longer looking through the lens, but the same scene remained before me.
There, clear and distinct, lay all the North American continent with all its great cities. To the north lay the Great Lakes. Far to the northeast was New York City. I could see Seattle and Portland far to the northwest. Down the west coast there were San Francisco and Los Angeles. Closer in the foreground lay New Orleans at the center of the Gulf Coast area. I could see the great towering ranges of the Rocky Mountains and trace with my eye the Continental Divide. All this and more I could see spread out before me as a great map upon a table.
As I looked, suddenly from the sky I saw a giant hand reach down. That gigantic hand was reaching out toward the Statue of Liberty. In a moment her gleaming torch was torn from her hand, and in it instead was placed a cup; and I saw protruding from that great cup a giant sword, shining as if a great light had been turned upon its glistening edge. Never before had I seen such a sharp, glistening, dangerous sword. It seemed to threaten all the world. As the great cup was placed in the hand of the Statue of Liberty, I heard these words, "Thus saith the Lord of hosts, drink ye and be drunken and spue and fall and rise no more because of the sword which I will send." As I heard these words, I recognized them as a quotation from Jeremiah 25:27.
I was amazed to hear the Statue of Liberty speak out in reply, "I WILL NOT DRINK!
Then as the voice of the thunder, I heard again the voice of the Lord saying, "Ye shall certainly drink." (Jeremiah 25:28) Then suddenly the giant hand forced the cup to the lips of the Statue of Liberty, and she became powerless to defend herself. The mighty hand of God forced her to drink every drop from the cup. As she drank the bitter dregs, these were the words that I heard: "Should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished, for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hosts." (Jeremiah 27:29) When the cup was withdrawn from the lips of the Statute of Liberty, I noticed the sword was missing from the cup, which could mean but one thing. THE CONTENTS OF THE CUP HAD BEEN COMPLETELY CONSUMED! I knew that the sword merely typified war, death, and destruction, which is no doubt on the way.
Then as one drunken on too much wine, I saw the Statue of Liberty become unsteady on her feet and begin to stagger and to lose her balance. I saw her splashing in the gulf, trying to regain her balance. I saw her stagger again and again and fall to her knees. As I saw her desperate attempts to regain her balance and rise to her feet again, my heart was moved as never before with compassion for her struggles; but as she staggered there in the gulf, once again I heard these words: "Drink ye and be drunken and spue and fall and rise no more because of the sword which I will send among you." (Jeremiah 25:37)
As I watched, I wondered if the Statue of Liberty would ever be able to regain her feet, if she would ever stand again; and as I watched, it seemed that with all her power she struggled to rise and finally staggered to her feet again and stood there swaying drunkenly. I felt sure that at any moment she would fall again, possibly never to rise. I seemed overwhelmed with a desire to reach out my hand to keep her head above water, for I knew that if she ever fell again, she would drown there in the gulf.
"Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flyeth by day, nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday." (Psalms 91:5-6)
Then as I watched, another amazing thing was taking place. Far to the northwest, just out over Alaska, a huge, black cloud was arising. As it rose, it was as black as night. It seemed to be in the shape of a man's head. As it continued to arise, I observed two light spots in the black cloud. It rose further, and a gaping hole appeared. I could see that the black cloud was taking the shape of a skull, for now the huge, white, gaping mouth was plainly visible. Finally, the head was complete. Then the shoulders began to appear; and on either side, long, black arms.
It seemed that what I saw was the entire North American continent, spread out like a map upon a table with this terrible skeleton-formed cloud arising from behind the table. It rose steadily until the form was visible down to the waist. At the waist the skeleton seemed to bend toward the United States, stretching forth a hand toward the east and one toward the west--one toward New York and one toward Seattle. As the awful form stretched forward, I could see that its entire attention seemed to be focused upon the United States, overlooking Canada at least for the time being. As I saw the horrible black cloud in the form of a skeleton bending toward America, bending from the waist over, reaching down toward Chicago and out toward both coasts, I knew its one interest was to destroy the multitudes.
As I watched in horror, the great black cloud stopped just above the Great Lakes region and turned its face toward New York City. Then out of the horrible, great gaping mouth began to appear wisps of white vapor which looked like smoke, as a cigarette smoker would blow puffs of smoke from his mouth. These whitish vapors were being blown toward New York City. The smoke began to spread until it had covered all the eastern part of the United States.
Then the skeleton turned to the west and out of the horrible mouth and nostrils came another great puff of white smoke. This time it was blown in the direction of the west coast. In a few moments' time the entire West Coast and Los Angeles area were covered with its vapors.
Then toward the center came a third great puff. As I watched, St. Louis and Kansas City were enveloped in its white vapors. Then on they came toward New Orleans. Then on they swept until they reached the Statue of Liberty where she stood staggering drunkenly in the blue waters of the gulf. As the white vapors began to spread around the head of the statue, she took in but one gasping breath and then began to cough as though to rid her lungs of the horrible vapors she had inhaled. One could readily discern by the coughing that those white vapors had seared her lungs.
What were these white vapors? Could they signify bacteriological warfare or nerve gas that could destroy multitudes of people in a few moments' time?
Then I heard the voice of God as He spoke again: "Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty and maketh it waste and turneth it upside-down and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. The land shall be utterly emptied and utterly spoiled, for the LORD hath spoken this word. The earth mourneth and fadeth away. The world languisheth and fadeth away. The haughty people of the earth do languish. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant; therefore, hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate; therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned and few men left." (Isaiah 24:1-6)
As I watched, the coughing grew worse. It sounded like a person about to cough out his lungs. The Statue of Liberty was moaning and groaning. She was in mortal agony. The pain must have been terrific, as again and again she tried to clear her lungs of those horrible white vapors. I watched her there in the gulf as she staggered, clutching her lungs and her breast with her hands. Then she fell to her knees. In a moment she gave one final cough, made a last desperate effort to rise from her knees, and then fell face forward into the waters of the gulf and lay still as death. Tears ran down my face as I realized that she was dead! Only the lapping of the waves, splashing over her body which was partly under the water and partly out of the water, broke the stillness.
"A fire devoureth before them, and behind them a flame burneth; the land is as the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness, yea, and nothing shall escape them." (Joel 2:3)
Suddenly the silence was shattered by the screaming of sirens. The sirens seemed to scream, "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Never before had I heard such shrill, screaming sirens. They seemed to be everywhere--to the north, the south, the east, and the west. There seemed to be multitudes of sirens; and as I looked, I saw people everywhere running, but it seemed none of them ran more than a few paces, and then they fell. And even as I had seen the Statue of Liberty struggling to regain her poise and balance and finally falling for the last time to die on her face, I now saw millions of people falling in the streets, on the sidewalks, struggling. I heard their screams for mercy and help. I heard their horrible coughing as though their lungs had been seared with fire. I hear d the moanings and groanings of the doomed and the dying. As I watched, a few finally reached shelters, but only a few ever got to the shelters.
Above the moaning and the groaning of the dying multitudes, I heard these words: "A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth, for the Lord hath a controversy with the nations. He will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth, and the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth. They shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground." (Jeremiah 25:31-33)
Then suddenly I saw from the Atlantic and from the Pacific and out of the Gulf rocket-like objects that seemed to come up like fish leaping out of the water. High into the air they leaped, each headed in a different direction, but every one toward the United States. On the ground the sirens screamed louder, and up from the ground I saw similar rockets beginning to ascend. To me these appeared to be interceptor rockets although they arose from different points all over the United States; however, none of them seemed to be successful in intercepting the rockets that had risen from the ocean on every side. These rockets finally reached their maximum height, slowly turned over and fell back toward the earth in defeat. Then suddenly the rockets which had leaped out of the oceans like fish all exploded at once. The explosion was ear-splitting. The next thing which I saw was a huge ball of fire. The only thing I have ever seen which resembled the thing I saw in my vision was the picture of the explosion of the H-bomb somewhere in the South Pacific. In my vision it was so real that I seemed to feel a searing heat from it.
As the vision spread before my eyes and I viewed the widespread desolation brought about by the terrific explosions, I could not help thinking, While the defenders of our nation have quibbled over what means of defense to use and neglected the only true means of defense--faith and dependence upon the true and living God--the thing which she greatly feared has come unto her! How true it has proven in Psalms 127:1: Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it; except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
Then as the noise of battle subsided, to my ears came this quotation: "Blow ye the trumpet in Zion and sound an alarm in my holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand. 2. A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains, a great people and a strong, there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. 3. A fire devoureth before them, and behind them a flame burneth; the land is as the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness, yea, and nothing shall escape them. 4. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. 5. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. 6. Before their face the people shall be much pained; all faces shall gather blackness. 7. They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war, and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks. 8. Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path; and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. 9. They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall; they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. 10. The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble; the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. (Joel 2:1-10) Then the voice was still. The earth, too was silent with the silence of death.
Then to my ears came another sound--a sound of distant singing. It was the sweetest music I had ever heard. There was joyful shouting and sounds of happy laughter. Immediately I knew it was the rejoicing of the saints of God. I looked, and there, high in the heavens, above the smoke and poisonous gases, above the noise of the battle, I saw a huge mountain. It seemed to be of solid rock, and I knew at once that this was the Mountain of the Lord. The sounds of music and rejoicing were coming from a cleft high up in the side of the rock mountain.
It was the saints of God who were doing the rejoicing. It was God's own people who were singing and dancing and shouting with joy, safe from all the harm which had come upon the earth, for they were hidden away in the cleft of the rock. There in the cleft they were shut in, protected by a great, giant hand which reached out of the heavens and which was none other than the hand of God, shutting them in until the storm be overpassed.
