“Oh, what a tangled
web we weave
When first we practice
to deceive!”
(From the poem Marmion
by Walter Scott)
A Tangled Web
Tuesday, July 21,
2015, 7:47 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put two songs in mind, “He Reached Down,” and “He Lifted Our Burdens.” Speak, Lord,
your words to my heart. I read James
5:1-6 (NASB).
Come
now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries which are coming upon you. Your
riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten. Your gold and your
silver have rusted; and their rust will be a witness against you and will
consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have stored up
your treasure! Behold, the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields, and which
has been withheld by you, cries out against you; and the outcry of those who
did the harvesting has reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. You have lived
luxuriously on the earth and led a life of wanton pleasure; you have fattened
your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned and put to death the
righteous man; he does not resist you.
I am not a historian by any stretch of the imagination. I
did horrible in US and World History, Social Studies, and Government when I was
a student in high school many years ago. I also did horrible in geography, and
knew little about any other countries in the world. I never understood
politics, either, so I pretty much avoided reading much of anything in the way
of news stories about world events or about political platforms or governmental
decisions. I didn’t think I could understand them anyway. I voted a straight
party ticket for all (but one of) the years I voted in elections, too. I just
voted along the same lines as my parents had voted. It was easier that way. [I
have not voted since the presidential primary in 2008.] I am married (42
years). We raised 4 children (now ages 34, 36, 38 & 40), and we now have 12
grandchildren. I was always active in church (Christian) ministry, so my family
life, church life (family), and my relationship with God/Jesus Christ was my
life.
I say all that to say that since 2006 the Lord Jesus has
been putting in my mind names of countries I did not know, but then I
researched, and I learned some of what was going on in those nations,
especially in relation to the USA, the New World Order and End Times. The Lord
Jesus often used dreams or visions as allegories as a way of showing me what is
going on in the world, because there is so much deception, and it is nearly
impossible to know who is telling the truth these days. These past nine years
the Lord Jesus has taught me so much about other countries and about my own
nation, most of which I had no idea about previously. I was a flag waving,
pledge making, song singing patriot, because I believed the history books, and
I believed what I was taught in church about my nation.
Yet, God opened my eyes to see that so much of what I had
believed was true was really lies told us by our leaders in government and
within the institutional church. I learned that the USA government was not
formed on Christian principles, but on freemasonry, foreign mythical gods and
goddesses, and has many connections with Satanic and occult beliefs and
practices. Look at the layout of Washington, D.C. Look at all the buildings and
statues in D.C. which were patterned after Roman, Greek and Egyptian gods and
goddesses. Look at the Great Seal of the USA with its occult and masonic images
of an All-Seeing Eye and unfinished pyramid over which this All-Seeing Eye
hovers. Look at the history of the United Nations. Read about the New World
Order. Read what the USA has been doing in other nations, and then ask God to
show you the truth. Do the homework. Pray. Much of what we see on the surface
and what lies beneath the surface are completely different things.
The Lord put the name of the country Nicaragua in my mind
this morning, so I have been doing a lot of research today on that nation. I
read about their history, and the US involvement and occupations of that nation
over the last century, and about the Iran-Contra affair. The US was apparently culpable
there for giving support to rebels (contras) who were supposedly opposing the
Nicaraguan government during the Reagan administration (US). Purportedly the US
sold weapons to Iran and then used some of the proceeds from that sale to fund
the contras. According to Wikipedia, “During the war between the contras and
the Sandinistas, 30,000 people were killed” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicaragua).
If this is true, then the US government helped support, train, and arm rebels
in a foreign nation which resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocents.
These rebels purportedly “engaged in a systematic campaign of terror amongst
the rural Nicaraguan population to disrupt the social reform projects of the
Sandinistas.” Historians “have contended that murder, rape, and torture
occurred on a large scale in contra-dominated areas. The contras also carried
out a campaign of economic sabotage,” according to the Wikipedia article.
So, if that is true, then what is to make us think that our
government is lily white today? If we do the homework, and we pay attention to
what has been going on in various nations throughout the world, and we see how
much the US is involved in all these other nations, and how much the United
Nations controls what goes on in other nations; and if we read the news
articles over the past several years about all these uprisings and takeovers of
nations, we will read about rebels (or terrorists) in these other nations, too,
that suddenly rose and began causing all kinds of havoc, which then led to
“international intervention” and the forcing of these various nations to have
to “cooperate” with the “international community” or pay the consequences. And,
then many of these nations ended up disbanding their present forms of
government, and instead formed “transitional governments.”
There is plenty of evidence on the internet that our
government has continued supporting, arming and training rebels and terrorists,
and that the ones they are supporting now are doing much the same as what the
contras did. If we do the research, we can learn about the various US-backed
terrorist organizations in the world. ISIS is one of them. Al-Qaida is another,
and the Taliban, and I am sure the list goes on. The US government is the worst
of the worst. They pretend to be one thing on the surface, but underneath they
are something else entirely. These other nations didn’t all just decide to have
uprisings one after another, after another, any more than what is presently
going on within the USA with all these factions, mass murders, riots, bombings,
etc. just suddenly happened. They are all following the same M.O. The US
doesn’t go into these nations to “help” them, but to help themselves. First
they and their political allies cause the trouble, and then they go in as
“saviors” with the solution, but they are not there to save but to take over.
They are still making deals or are trying to make deals with
Iran, too. They have been at it for some time. Only what they tell us is going
on is not the same as what is really going on. Every time the Lord talked with
me about Iran since 2006, he showed me that what we accuse Iran of doing is
what we (the US) are doing. We commit horrific crimes and then we blame them on
other people, some of whom we have hired to do our dirty work for us. And, then
we act horrified over these tragedies and act all concerned and offer our help,
but it is not help we are offering. The US government has been paving the way
for world domination by the New World Order, and the US has, directly or
indirectly, been systematically dismantling governments of nations, and has
been going after all opposition, including, I believe, killing Christians,
whether literally with physical weapons, or philosophically through deception
and manipulation of truth, as has been going on here in the USA. What they have
been doing in other nations, they are now doing in the USA. And, God hears the
cries of those whom they have treated shamefully, and he is bringing judgment
on the US.
Behind the Scenes (Wednesday
morning)
I read a news article this morning about an interview with
Obama by Jon Stewart on the “Daily Show.” If you know anything about how the world
powers work, they like to make statements with hidden messages, announcing
their true intent, which they expect most people to not notice. Obama mentioned
that there was “a bunch of other things we want to get done” during his
remaining time in office. According to the article, “Obama said the Iran deal…
illustrated how important work goes on behind the scenes in contradiction of
critics…” Now, on the surface, that seems innocent enough, but “behind the
scenes” means “out of sight of the public at a theatre” (Google). Our
government works much out of the sight of the American public (behind closed
doors) where we can’t see what they are really doing. And, it is a theatre
(performances for our entertainment or distraction), i.e. much of what they say
they are doing is not what they are doing at all. And, they do this in
opposition of critics – “one who engages often professionally in the analysis,
evaluation, or appreciation of… artistic performances” (M-W), i.e. they
actively oppose those who have their number.
Obama also said, “But if you have a government that was
built on 1930 models…” This jumped out at me. So, I Googled “1930 model” and
what came up was Henry Ford’s 1930 vehicles. A vehicle is also medium, channel,
agent, etc., and Henry Ford was indeed involved in a model on which this
government was built, which is the Freemasons and the Illuminati (see
references below), i.e. the New World Order (All-Seeing Eye). With regard to
his remarks about the government being built on 1930 models, speaking in terms
of what this government is doing now he said, “We are redesigning from soup to
nuts,” which means “from beginning to end.” Basically, this New World Order is
recreating our government from the beginning of it to the end of it, i.e. they
are working to end our present form of government so that this redesign (new
order) can take over. And, this “redesign” involves putting the old order to
death, so that out of the ashes of the old order, which includes the true church,
a phoenix (new order) may rise in its place.
Opposition to the
Gospel
Right now there is a huge campaign going on globally by the
US and their New World Order allies. And, it is against Bible believing gospel
preaching followers of Jesus Christ and the gospel of our salvation. Obama and
the Pope and Rick Warren are promoting a one-world religion, i.e. a uniting of
all religions together, and this is being accomplished through false teaching
within the church, much of which goes by various names, but centers much around
Roman Catholic tradition, mysticism, and something called “contemplative
prayer,” which appears to be for the purpose of getting people of all religions
to come together in peace. Either we join in with this “unity” of religion, or
we are tagged as “extremists” or “radicals” who must be silenced. They are very
much putting the pressure on evangelical Christians to not hold on to what
divides people, i.e. the gospel, but to join in the effort to work side-by-side
peaceably with people of all walks of life, and of all religions, and to adopt
a social gospel absent of the cross of Christ in people’s lives.
Yet, a social gospel doesn’t save anyone. It may make people
feel good for a time, and they may enjoy what they believe is peace, for a
time, but this peace is not peace with God, but is a false peace which
ultimately denies the One and Only True God, and which follows after the god of
this world, Satan. Jesus Christ did not die on a cross so we could unite
ourselves with other religions in world peace. He didn’t come to bring peace to
the earth, but a sword – to turn family members against one another, not in the
sense of fighting against one another, but he was speaking of the outcome of
what he knew would most certainly take place when people began to get
radicalized about following Jesus Christ. When people become true followers of
Jesus Christ, and they begin to share the gospel with others so they can be
saved from sin, too, Satan doesn’t like it, so he goes on the offensive by
influencing others to hate, reject, persecute and even kill us for our
testimonies for Christ.
Yet, there is hope. Jesus Christ came to save sinners. He
died that we might die to sin and live to righteousness, not through human
effort or good works, but through submission to the cross of Christ in our
lives and via allowing the Holy Spirit to take control. Jesus said that if
anyone wants to come after him, we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die
daily to sin and self) and follow (obey) him. He said if we hold on to our old
lives (of living for sin and self) we will lose them for eternity, but if we
lose our lives (die with Christ to sin), we will gain eternal life. Jesus
Christ died that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us
who walk not after the flesh but according to the Spirit. He died that we might
no longer live for ourselves, but for him who gave himself up for us. That is
radical! That is extreme! Yet, faith in Jesus Christ means death to sin so that
we can live to righteousness. This is true grace! And, it is what guarantees us
eternal life with God.
He Lifted Our Burdens
/ An Original Work / February 15, 2014
Based off Isaiah 9:2-7
People walk in darkness.
They abide in their sin.
It has power o’er them.
True belief escapes them.
Jesus Christ came to save them.
He gave His life up for them;
Crucified; died for our sin,
So we might be forgiven,
And have life up in heaven.
Many come to know Him.
God’s love now o’erflows them.
They rejoice in vict’ry.
Their sin is but hist’ry.
We were once bound in slav’ry.
Jesus lifted our burdens;
Set us now free from Satan,
So we now walk in freedom.
Sin has no more dominion.
Praise be to our Savior!
He showed us His favor.
He took all our burdens;
Cast them all upon Him.
He is our mediator;
The Light which shines in darkness.
Counselor in our troubles;
He gives peace now in our hearts;
Joy which is everlasting.
