17, 2015, 6:30 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “I Will Lift My Eyes.” Speak, Lord, your
words to my heart. I read Isaiah 28:1-6
(NASB).
The Proud Crown
(v. 1)
Woe
to the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim,
And
to the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
Which
is at the head of the fertile valley
Of
those who are overcome with wine!
Samaria was the capital city of Ephraim, the northern
kingdom of Israel. It was a prideful city filled with luxury and
self-indulgences. “Ephraim’s drunkards” appears to be a reference to its
supposed spiritual leaders, as well as to its political leaders. They may have
been literally drunk on wine, and/or they may have been inebriated by their own
sense of pride, arrogance, and/or believing in their own lies and their feeling
that nothing could bring them down. Their capital city sat on a hill and was
their crown, their floral wreath on their heads. Yet, the Lord described this
floral wreath – their capital city – as a fading flower.
The Lord Jesus, this morning, is showing me a comparison
between the capital city of Ephraim and the capital city of the United States
of America, our Washington D.C. Our capital is the pride of the institutional
church in the USA, i.e. the floral wreath worn on its head. Via the 501c3
non-profit corporation status of the institutional church, the church has
partnered with the US government, and has willingly placed the government of
the US as head over the church. It also promotes government worship via the
pledge of allegiance to the flag (government), the singing of patriotic songs,
the honoring of our soldiers as heroes, and the encouragement of blind trust in
our government and in their actions world-wide.
Yet, the government of the USA is not Christian in belief
and practice, and, in fact, it stands opposed to God and the teachings of
scripture. John Adams, in the Treaty of Tripoli, stated:
“As
the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on
the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the
laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen (Muslims)...” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Tripoli
Instead, the US government was founded on the religion of
the Freemasons. Just as the cornerstone of the Washington Monument was designed
by a freemason, and was laid with Masonic ceremony, so the cornerstone
(foundation) of the US government (nation) was designed by freemasons (many of
our founding fathers) and was laid with Masonic ceremony. Freemasonry is also
not based on Christian principles. “Freemasonry espouses universalism, embraces
religious pluralism and has effectively created a unique syncretistic religion”
(http://www.formermasons.org/).
The layout of D.C., the buildings, the statues, and our
national symbols all have either Masonic design, and/or else are patterned
after Greek, Roman and Egyptian gods and goddesses, as well as they are
influenced by what is Satanic and of the occult. From the very founding of our
nation, our nation was designed to espouse universalism, which accepts all
religions, as does freemasonry, and centers around doing “good deeds” and the
idea that we all believe in the same god, or that we should all believe in the
“Great Architect,” i.e. some type of supreme being, yet the great architect
appears to be Masonic, which espouses that all religions can co-exist with one
another in harmony.
The US government is a superstructure, built upon or
superimposed over a more fundamental base, which is freemasonry, the elite and
powerful of the world, and the belief in and purpose of creating a new world
order which would eventually rule the world. This “base” or “cornerstone” of
the US government has operated behind the scenes over the years in making
decisions concerning the direction the US should go. The US government leaders,
thus, are like puppets or play actors in the hands of the elite, powerful, and
wealthy people of the world in doing whatever their master dictates. There
really is no such thing as Republican or Democrat, for they all answer to the
same people. The process of selection of candidates for president is just for
show/entertainment. All of that is just for the entertainment and the
distraction of the American people in order to deceive them.
The US government, and by default the institutional church
in America, is guilty of serving the purposes of this New World Order in going
throughout the world taking over nations, murdering innocents, confiscating
land and property and natural resources not their own, and persecuting and
killing Christians via their hired guns (terrorists). We are a prideful nation,
and our government and military is the pride of the institutional church.
Americans in the church wave their flags, and sing the National Anthem, and
support the troops, and believe that we are truly in these other nations to
both protect our own nation from terrorists and to assist these other nations
who have been under oppressive rulers to gain freedom and liberty, but we are
just an agent of the New World Order in pressuring the people of this world to
bow – to comply, cooperate and unify with “the beast.”
A Mighty Agent
(vv. 2-4)
Behold,
the Lord has a strong and mighty agent;
As
a storm of hail, a tempest of destruction,
Like
a storm of mighty overflowing waters,
He
has cast it down to the earth with His hand.
The
proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim is trodden under foot.
And
the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
Which
is at the head of the fertile valley,
Will
be like the first-ripe fig prior to summer,
Which
one sees,
And
as soon as it is in his hand,
He
swallows it.
In other words, we are the harlot which rides the beast, and
one day soon, which I believe has already begun, this beast (New World Order),
which is the foundation of our government, is going to turn on us, and is going
to take us apart, limb by limb. Only this is not just happening in America.
This is happening world-wide, i.e. this beast is rising and is taking over the
world and is persecuting and killing Christians world-wide, but now God will
use this N.W.O. as his divine instrument of judgment on our government and
nation and on his adulterous and idolatrous church, I believe. We are being
taken apart via this N.W.O. which has many agents at its disposal, including
Donald Trump, Barack Obama, Pope Francis, these purported refugees by the
thousands fleeing to western nations, military troops, including foreign (to
the US) troops in the US, and terrorists recruited, trained, equipped and
financially supported by the US government and their political allies.
On the subject of these purported refugees fleeing Syria and
other nations and flooding into western nations, what I and others have noticed
is that primarily they are comprised of men of military age, and they look
physically fit, seem well dressed, and many of them are photographed as having
smart phones and taking selfies of themselves while traveling. Some people
believe this is not a refugee crisis but that this is a Trojan horse, i.e. it
is a way to get foreign troops or paid terrorists into western nations in order
to take them apart. I do know the Lord Jesus keeps showing me that this is
really about the New World Order illegally entering into other nations to take
them down, so this could be a Trojan horse. Yet, ISIS is a creation of the US
government and the N.W.O., and it is financed by the US, so if the Trojan horse
is really ISIS terrorists, still they are agents of the N.W.O.
So much of what is going on in the news today and every day,
for that matter, is really about this rise of the beast, and this conquering of
nations, and the tearing apart of the old order of things in order to bring about
the new order, which is really a revival of the original foundation of the US
government, i.e. our purpose from the very beginning. Pope Francis and Obama
are very strong voices right now in persuading the church in America to adopt
this all-inclusive concept of religion which is about just doing good deeds,
but it rejects all that suggests that some people are going to heaven and
others are not, or that only Christians believe in the only God, and that they
have exclusive rights to spend eternity with God in heaven.
They also reject the idea of submission to the One True God,
belief in Jesus Christ only as the way to salvation from sin and eternal life
with God, and they reject repentance (turning from sin), and obedience to God
and to his will for our lives. They mock the gospel of salvation and write it
off as just a bunch of rules they have to follow, and they tag those who hold
to the tenets of the Christian faith as intolerant bigots who must be discarded.
Instead, what is being taught now is the same as what Freemasonry and
Universalism has always taught, and that is that we, the people of the world,
can unite as one under one rule of government and under one rule of religion,
which is the religion of freemasonry, which unites all religions together
because it does not try to convert anyone, but tolerates all beliefs no matter
how contrary to God and to his word they are, as long as they cooperate and
unite with the New World Order ‘beast,’ that is.
A Beautiful Crown
(vv. 5-6)
In
that day the Lord of hosts will become a beautiful crown
And
a glorious diadem to the remnant of His people;
A
spirit of justice for him who sits in judgment,
A
strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate.
In that Day of Judgment the LORD Almighty will be a glorious
crown for his people, unlike the floral wreath of the capital city previously
worn on their heads in pride. He will be a “spirit of justice to him who sits
in judgment, a source of strength to those who turn back the battle at the
gate.” I believe this “turning back the battle at the gate” has to do with
those who have resisted Satan’s lies and deceptions and temptations in their
own lives, as well as this represents those who are actively involved in
sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ in order to turn back this battle of Satan
against God’s people, and at the gate of human’s hearts so that people can be
saved, so they can be free from the power of Satan and sin over their lives,
and so that they no longer allow Satan and sin to overcome them. They stop it
at the gate. For those who have done this, i.e. for those who have “turned the
battle back at the gate,” God will be their refuge and strength. He will give
us all we need to endure all persecution and to remain strong in our faith and
in our testimonies for him.
Though God/Jesus Christ will be a stumbling block for those
who trust in humans and in their own resources (lies, deception, pride), he is
a precious cornerstone and a sure foundation for those who put their trust in
the Lord. They will never be dismayed. Their God will instruct them in the
right way; the way of holiness; and in walking in the light of truth. Wonderful
in counsel and magnificent in wisdom is the LORD Almighty to those who put
their trust in him and in him alone. He will comfort them in times of distress
with his love.
I Will Lift My Eyes
/ An Original Work / December 12, 2012
Based off Psalms
121-125
I will lift my eyes to my Lord Most High.
My help comes from Him, who saved me from sin.
He will not let your foot slip, and He who watches will not
sleep.
Our Lord watches over you, and your life He will keep.
I will lift my eyes to my Lord Most High.
My help comes from Him, who saved me from sin.
I give thanks to Him.
I will lift my eyes to my God in heav’n.
I look to the Lord. My sins, He’s forgiv’n.
Because of His great love for us, He made us alive with
Christ.
Through the kindness of our Savior, He gave us new life.
I will lift my eyes to my God in heav’n.
I look to the Lord. My sins, He’s forgiv’n;
My home, now in heav’n.
Praise be to the Lord, who is on our side.
Our help found in Him. He gives peace within.
Those who trust will ne’er be shaken. God will supply all we
need.
Our Lord has done great things for us. He’s our friend,
indeed!
Praise be to the Lord, who is on our side.
Our help found in Him. He gives peace within.
I can count on Him.
