Habakkuk 2

Then the Lord replied: "Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay."

Veiled Threats

Monday, May 22, 2017, 6:13 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Your Lord is With You.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Psalm 102 (quoting select vv. NASB).

Prayer of the Afflicted (vv. 1-3, 8-11)

Hear my prayer, O Lord!
And let my cry for help come to You.
Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my distress;
Incline Your ear to me;
In the day when I call answer me quickly.
For my days have been consumed in smoke,
And my bones have been scorched like a hearth…

My enemies have reproached me all day long;
Those who deride me have used my name as a curse.
For I have eaten ashes like bread
And mingled my drink with weeping
Because of Your indignation and Your wrath,
For You have lifted me up and cast me away.
My days are like a lengthened shadow,
And I wither away like grass.

Veiled Threats

What is a “veiled threat”? “A veiled threat is one that is very subtle or implied, so there is no actual direct threat spoken. So, rather than ‘I'll kill you if you talk to him again,’ a veiled threat might be ‘It'd be a shame if that guy you were talking to had a really bad accident’" (1).

Yesterday, the president of the United States of America, Donald Trump, delivered a speech to the leaders of more than 50 Muslim countries (2). Based upon what knowledge God Almighty, the ONE and ONLY, has given me over the past 11 years, regarding the US government and the New World Order, especially in relation to the fulfillment of prophecy of scripture, I made the following observations about Trump’s speech, which I believe was loaded with veiled threats to the people and the nations of the world.

First of all, we must understand that the US government serves a group of the elite, a shadow government, which is the de facto government of the USA. So, the US government has no real power of its own, but it acts on the authority of this shadow government, alias the All-seeing eye of Horus, which hovers over the unfinished pyramid on our national seal. Another name for this is the “New World Order” or “beast” (See: Rev. 13). We should also realize that the mainstream media, and some offshoots, also serve this beast, as does the US/International military. We ought also to have knowledge of the fact that the real world terrorists are the US government and military, acting under the authority of this “beast” New World Order.

So, for years the US government (plus allies), has been creating scenarios in various places in the world, including within the USA, which would give them the excuse to go into other nations to rape, pillage, kill at will, murder innocents (including Christians), destroy lands, confiscate property and natural resources not their own, and force independent governments and their people to submit to the “beast” New World Order or pay the consequences. The US government is the world’s biggest bully. They hire, train, finance and equip various terrorist organizations to do their dirty work, and then they lie and claim they are fighting these terrorist groups.

Religious Extremists

So, President Trump gave a speech which primarily focused on the subject of stamping out religious extremism. So, what are “religious extremists”? They are people who practice religion (faith) who, by society’s standards, are considered to be radical, fanatical or excessive in their beliefs and practices. They are what most people, by a shared consensus, consider to be far outside what is considered reasonable, normal, ordinary or average. They are regarded as outside the acceptable conventional attitudes of society. Their beliefs are “far from moderate; not usual; exceptional” (Oxford). So, by definition, this includes Christians who hold to the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ and who do not compromise with the world to be accepted.

So, with that thought in mind, what Trump was talking about was how the leaders of the nations of the world, and Christianity, Judaism and Islam, need to come together in unity, which was the same message Obama and Pope Francis had been harping on for years. They need to come together, he said, in essence, to stamp out extremism. He spoke much on the subjects of cooperation, mutual respect, partnership, agreement, unity, shared resolve and values, and closer bonds, etc. His words echoed so many of Obama’s speeches over the years on these same subjects. Thus, this is all about bringing the world together as one, under one common goal and purpose, which will take us into the rule of the “beast” and the one world government and one world religion, for this is where this is all headed.

Yet, most of this “unity” they speak of is not voluntary, but is forced compliance with the “beast” New World Order. After Trump listed off many of what he referred to as the blessings of this unified effort, then came the veiled threats against those who dare to be in non-compliance. What was keeping them from experiencing all these benefits of cooperation, he said, in essence, was all the bloodshed and terror, at the hands of the terrorists. But, the caveat of all this is that somehow they must partner with this global effort in order to stave off the bloodshed and terror they have been experiencing up to this point. That is a veiled threat, because the one making the statement is the president of the country which is primarily responsible for all the bloodshed and terror happening throughout the world.

Drive Them Out!

Then, Trump went on to describe some ways in which this cooperative effort could drive out “religious extremism” from the planet. His number one suggestion was to “drive them out of your places of worship.” This has been happening already for a number of years here in America where many preachers are being trained in how to get rid of those with “strong convictions” who do “not fit” with the church’s marketing (business) goals, by inviting them to “go someplace else” where they will be a “better fit.” And, they are being trained in how to target (as potential customers) those who are naïve and not well versed in scripture, who they can mold into their church’s image, patterned after their marketing goals and objectives.

Then, he went on to explain how they should starve these religious extremists of territory, of finances, and of the attraction (drawing) they have toward their religious ideology (beliefs). This would, thus, be the basis for defeating them. I believe the US government (plus allies) have already been doing this in many nations, but now they are calling for a unified effort to work together with them, only this is not against those they call terrorists, but is against those who are non-compliant with the New World Order beast and the one world religion. And, this is coming to America, too. Christians who hold on to their faith and who follow Jesus Christ in obedience are going to be starved of food, money, bank accounts, and Christian fellowship, and perhaps of Bibles, hymn books, etc. The last suggestion he made for getting rid of these “extremists” was to drive them out of this earth, via death.

While Trump was in Saudi Arabia, he helped launch a new center “to counter the online spread of hate.” I believe this means censorship and maybe even some of us denied access to our personal blogs, social media, Christian discussion sites, etc. Remember here that what they term as “hate” has to do with speaking out about sin, calling people to repentance and obedience to Christ, and telling people that Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to God in heaven. If we don’t compromise our faith, and we don’t blend in with the rest of the religions of the world, we are religious extremists, and we will be targeted for persecution and even death (See: Revelation 13).

Sovereignty of God

Yet, God, our creator, is still absolutely sovereign over all that he has made. He is completely in control over all powers and authorities, and nothing can happen without him allowing it, and for a purpose. Some of our Lord’s purposes in allowing his saints to go through such persecution, as this writing describes, is that he might purify and prune us, that we might become more like him, that we might learn not to rely on ourselves, but on him, and that we might share in his holiness. He allows difficulties in our lives, too, to mature us, to teach us perseverance, to make us strong, and that we might bear much fruit for his kingdom. As well, when we experience his comfort in trials, we are to encourage others who are going through similar suffering with the comfort we received from him.

All of this, too, is for the praise of his glory, for the spreading of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and for the revival of the adulterous church. When the church goes through such persecution there will be no more fence riders. There will be no more those who are just casual or complacent about their faith in Jesus Christ. Those who profess faith in Jesus Christ will either join with others in being the kind of followers of Christ with “extremist ideology,” consistent with the teachings of Jesus and of his NT apostles, or they will bow to the beast.

Trump talked much on the subject of it being the people’s choice to either unite with this global coalition of nations or not, but if they chose not to unite, he did not promise them a hopeful future. We, who are followers of Jesus, already have a hopeful future, and we would be throwing that down the toilet to unite with this New World Order (beast). So, stand tall, and stand strong, and stand on the Word of God, and don’t compromise.

Your Lord is With You
An Original Work / August 14, 2016

Based off Various Scriptures

Fear not for your Lord is with you.
He will not leave you, nor will He abandon you.
When you walk through valleys of life’s rough ways,
You must fear no evil, for God is near.
Be of courage, then, and be not dismayed,
For your Lord is with you throughout your days.
Fear not for your Lord is with you.
He will not leave you, nor will He abandon you.

Trust Him with your life and witness.
He’ll go before you, and He will prepare the way.
The Lord is our helper, so we’ll not fear.
He will strengthen us. He sees all our tears.
Do not be afraid, but to God do pray,
And the peace of God will be yours today.
Trust Him with your life and witness.
He’ll go before you, and He will prepare the way.

My God, He is my Rock and my Shield
And the Horn of my salvation, whom I praise.
He reached down from heaven and rescued me;
Drew me out of waters so deep I’d sink.
My God turned my darkness into His light;
Opened up my blinded eyes, gave me sight.
My God, He is my Rock and my Shield
And the Horn of my salvation, whom I praise.
