When You Sit Down to Eat with a Ruler

“When you sit down to eat with a ruler,

    observe carefully what is before you,

and put a knife to your throat

    if you are given to appetite.

Do not desire his delicacies,

    for they are deceptive food.”

(Proverbs 23:1-3 ESV)

I live in the USA. I was born here in December of 1949. I am 74 years old, so I have lived here a lifetime. And, as I was growing up in America, both at school, and at the church gatherings, I was taught to pledge (vow) allegiance (fidelity, worship, loyalty, devotion) to the US government (our republic) with hand (deeds) over heart (with passion, desire, and the center or core of my being), all of which are to be given to God, and to God alone.

I was taught to sing patriotic songs and hymns of worship to the government of my nation in the church gatherings, and to honor our military as our heroes, as those who have saved us from oppression and who have protected us from harm, and as those who protected our freedoms. But who are we to sing hymns of praise and worship to? Who are we to honor as our hero, who saves us from our enemy, and who protects us from evil? Only God – Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit – and to no other “gods.”

Yesterday was Flag Day in the USA. From what I understand or have read, our flag has been in existence for 247 years. And our nation is scheduled to celebrate 248 years of freedom from “tyranny and oppression” on July 4th, 2024, our Independence Day. 

But our nation is not what it appears to be. From the very beginnings of our nation we were created to bring in the rule of this New World Order of the beast (of Revelation). The story is told through our national monuments and our national seal with the all-seeing eye over the unfinished pyramid. 

We began as an “experiment,” and we have continued that way all these years, for our government has always been temporary and transitional, to bring about the order of the beast. The de facto government of the USA is the shadow government of the elite, wealthy, and powerful of this world. And our government serves them. So, we are the Great Prostitute, I believe, which includes the church which is unequally yoked together with her.

Our government and military, thus, have been going throughout the world conquering nations and peoples (See Revelation 13:1-18), destroying lands, confiscating natural resources, killing Christians, raping and murdering innocents, overtaking governments, and oppressing the people of these nations, and forcing compliance with the beast, and for many, many years. 

And what is happening in the USA right now is their modus operandi for how they overtook all these other countries in the world. So, I believe we are being conquered now, and soon our reign as the superpower of the world is going to come to an end. And our nation will be stripped of its evil and wicked authority, and of its influence over the rest of the world. And then we will all be under the rule of “the Beast” of Revelation.

“Do not eat the bread of a man who is stingy;

    do not desire his delicacies,

for he is like one who is inwardly calculating.

    “Eat and drink!” he says to you,

    but his heart is not with you.

You will vomit up the morsels that you have eaten,

    and waste your pleasant words.

Do not speak in the hearing of a fool,

    for he will despise the good sense of your words.” 

(Proverbs 23:6-9 ESV)

All of this (above) has come about via the network of deception. Our government and those they serve are master manipulators and magicians. And they use “side doors” to do their dirty work, too. They find indirect ways, and less conspicuous and deceptive means of accomplishing their goals and objectives for the conquering of the world, and now the USA.

So, they “push the envelope,” i.e. they extend the limits of what is possible in situations to pull off their wicked schemes. For example, they are using these situations we are now encountering in our nation, some or all of which were totally orchestrated for this very purpose. Absolutely! And they use these situations in order to cloak what they are really doing. For they distract us with junk and stuff to rile us up, but these are cover-ups, in other words. And their purpose is to bring about global domination of this beast.

Our primary government leaders, under the authority of the wealthy and powerful elite of the world (the shadow government) who are the ones truly ruling and making decisions for the people of the world, care nothing about the people of this nation or any nation. They are self-serving, greedy for gain. And they are always plotting how they might fool us and trick us into submitting to their wicked schemes. They are always calculating our demise, for that is their job. They pretend to be for us, but truly they are against us. 

Left and right politically do not exist. They are two sides of the same whole, all part of the play, the performance, which is to distract Americans, to entertain them, and to keep the naïve fighting against one another over what doesn’t really exist. For, they want us fighting one another (black and white, right and left, gay and straight, and Christian against Christian, etc.).

And the purpose of it all is so they can prove that we are a broken people, and a broken nation that needs healing, so that they can bring in the “international community” to save us from our problems. It is all orchestrated, and much of it is truly acted out by skillful actors. And their solution for our problem has also been well planned out in advance, which is the solution they provided for all these other nations, too.

The peace they are offering you, though, comes with a price – the price is your freedoms, including freedom of religion. In order for the world to be at peace with one another, they have to be of one mind and one heart, which is the mind and heart of the beast, not God. Therefore, Christian persecution is on its way. For, to bring peace, they have to make us all the same (minions), which excludes Jesus Christ and his gospel of salvation which they are altering to make them more acceptable to the people of the world.

But I believe God has allowed all this to bring his wayward church back to him in surrender to him as Lord, and to bring many people to genuine God-fearing, and God-persuaded, and God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord, which requires that we die with Christ to sin and that we now walk with him in obedience to his commands in holy living. For one day Jesus Christ is going to return to judge the people of the world and to take with him for eternity all who have surrendered their lives to him and to his service.

As the Deer 

By Martin J. Nystrom

Based off Psalm 42:1

As the deer panteth for the water

 So my soul longeth after You

 You alone are my heart's desire

 And I long to worship You

You alone are my strength, my shield

 To You alone may my spirit yield

 You alone are my heart's desire

 And I long to worship You
