Latest man of lawlessness advances the Luciferian deception; enthrals the betrayed
Where to begin with Donald Trump and the Israeli capital city? Did the reader feel, too, when Trump made a speech on Wednesday from the Diplomatic Reception Room of the White House (surrounded by a grove that had been uprooted and brought indoors for the solstice celebrations) as if the President of the United States had just taken it upon himself to declare it to be Jerusalem? Of course, this isn’t what happened, but it felt like it.
Because, as Trump himself pointed out
Ever since [the United States recognised the state of Israel]… Israel has made its capital in the city of Jerusalem, the capital the Jewish people established in ancient times.
Today, Jerusalem is the seat of the modern Israeli government. It is the home of the Israeli Parliament, the Knesset, as well as the Israeli Supreme Court. It is the location of the official residence of the prime minister and the president. It is the headquarters of many government ministries.
And so, this begs the question, why the need for the American endorsement? If “Israel is a sovereign nation with the right, like every other sovereign nation, to determine its own capital”, as Trump (or his speech writer) at least possessed the clarity of mind to perceive, then what has the location of its capital city got anything to do with POTUS, or Cletus, or anyone else thousands of miles away? Yes, it is true, things are not simple in that part of the world, but what changed as a result of what Trump did on Wednesday? Actually, a better question that doesn’t produce an answer that isn’t null is this: who is affected‡ by Trump’s announcement about Jerusalem? Naturally, the first answer is the Palestinians, and Hamas (an Israeli creation) has helpfully called for an intifada so that a certain portion of the Western audience can have its anti-Islamic prejudices confirmed (yet again) by the likes of Breitbart who report “Palestinians Riot in West Bank, Gaza Over Jerusalem Decision” – a perfect opportunity for violence to spill over into that conflict that Israel wants in Lebanon.
The other group that is affected is the multitude of American Zionist Christianity (hereafter referred to as Christian fundamentalists) that, despite the words printed in red in their Bibles, is somehow convinced that Jerusalem is central to a relationship with Yeoshua (who will occasionally be referred to as “Jesus” when appropriate to do so). The considerable anti-Trump section of the US corporate-media have been quick to report that (to paraphrase) “Evangelicals are ecstatic” and while we need to recognise that there would be a domestic political objective that resulted in biased coverage from these quarters, we also need to appreciate that the likes of Breitbart certainly do not seem to be addressing the connections, and the detail would otherwise go missing from our current affairs consciousness.
It (always) occurs to the author that real followers of Yeoshua would not give a rat’s backside whether the Israeli capital was in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, in Madagascar, or on the Moon – and those amongst that number who were American wouldn’t care if Trump knew Jerusalem as the capital of Israel from a hole in the ground. Their Bible clearly tells them that a new contract was awarded: the “chosen people” were to become anyone who followed Yeoshua. Furthermore, the previous contract that granted real estate in return for worship was voided. Proof of this was the interminable occupation of Judea and Israel by foreign powers, and the destruction of the Temple of Sion, in 70AD – which was also a symbol of nationhood as well as the location where the Hebrews had been in breach of the worship clause on more than one occasion – as part of the devastating and crushing Roman reaction to the Jewish rebellion. To know about this one only has to inspect three pieces of scriptureǂ.
There is Malachi (of which some pertinent quotations are printed below, eventually, at a strategic place on the page), which talks about Israel having to receive a “purifier”, who will be presaged by a messenger. Failure will lead to God’s name becoming “great among the Gentiles” and the “root and branch” uprooting of those bringing the punishment down upon themselves, and the desertification and ruination of the land.
Then there is Matthew Chapter 3, featuring John the Baptist: “the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire… I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire”
Then, again, in Matthew, 17:10-13, a discussion between Yeoshua and the disciples:
And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias [Elijah] must first come? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
Here are the Malachi verses:
3:1-4; Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
4:1-2 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
4:5-6 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
And so, it is continually very bizarre that American Christian fundamentalists are so zealously gripped with anxiety for the condition of Israel.
To get to grips with the issue at large, we need to do some free thinking and honest talking. Whether one thinks that modern Israel has no right to exist, or is a perfectly lawful entity – whatever way one arrives at this judgement (whether it be through spiritual-legal or secular/political-legal) – is neither here nor there. Modern Israel is right there on the shores of the Mediterranean. There is a law of men that has been valid on this planet since Eden and next door Nod: land is up for the taking. A country is not guaranteed for a people. Invasions take place, sometimes by force of arms, sometimes by slow cultural assimilation by a foreign people (this is why the placid British acceptance in their country of millions of immigrants whose fealty is to a foreign nation is horrifying). By this old law, Israel has a right to exist because, however it was achieved, it cleaved the land out for itself. The only way that that right to exist can cease is if another country, or people, takes it away.
We could argue, of course, that Israel’s right to exist might have been confiscated a long time ago if it wasn’t for the support of many American Christian fundamentalists – and herein lies a problem, does it not? The natural law explained above can be rationalised as God’s favour, and it would be reasonable for what is supposed to be the Jewish Modern Israeli state to take the viewpoint that it exists because of God’s favour, and would find evidence for that grace in Jewish scripture. So, a reasonable conclusion or belief to hold, we suppose, would be that Modern Israel exists because the Jewish Messianic age continues (meaning, the Jews are still waiting for the Messiah). And that’s fine, because each to their own according to their own. On the other hand, though, the American fundamentalist multitude would be entitled to believe that, according to their own scripture, the Jewish Messianic epoch had ended already. Moreover, from their point of view, they might know that their God wouldn’t be very happy that they had disavowed their own contract to buy back into the one that had lapsed. But it could well be that American Christian fundamentalists don’t know any such thing, and don’t even think about the possibility of being in breach themselves by not knowing. Why is this? Why is it, exactly, that Jerusalem just isn’t plain redundant for so many American Christians?
The CNN article linked to above, quotes a Trump advisor:
“Jerusalem has been the object of the affection of both Jews and Christians down through history and the touchstone of prophecy. But most importantly, God gave Jerusalem — and the rest of the Holy Land — to the Jewish people,” said the Rev. Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church of Dallas and a member of Trump’s evangelical advisory board.
The key word is “prophecy”, which, it is fair to say, is an industry in the large and often wealthy American Christian fundamentalist circles. It is also fair to suspect that such people see Trump’s move as the “other chosen nation” doing the will of God – as they see it, bringing things closer to a point whereby the crucial building of the Third Temple of Sion can be achieved. In a scheme of things that appears to be massive in the States, it is very important for salvation – and if we can be cynical, also crucial for cash flow. It is all to do with an interpretation of scripture whereby the Third Temple must be destroyed before the “end times”, involving the second coming of Jesus Christ, and an accompanying catastrophe, or series of disasters and wars, called the tribulation, and before that a rapture which will whip up an elected few into heaven in time to avoid all the heartache, death and destruction.
And it’s all an incredibly ugly deception that appears to have been instituted in the 20th century, although some aspects of it appeared as early as 1830. The primary source, as far as the author can find out, is something that Saul of Tarsus† wrote in his epistle to the Thessalonians (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17):
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
This is then linked to text in the gospels – principally Luke and Matthew, but particularly the latter, where there is extensive discussion between Yeoshua and the disciples about the end of the current age, or epoch (which could be understood to involve a tumult, but it wouldn’t mean the end of all the world).
Matthew:
24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
The above would be the reference to the destruction of the temple.
24:29-31 Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
This the tribulation, and the coming of Christ.
But here is the statement, out of the lips of Yeoshua himself, that puts a spanner in the works.
24:34 Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
The same sequence happens in Luke, which ends like this:
21:32 Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
It is quite clear that the temple being destroyed is the second, not the third (never been built), and the prophecy refers to the destruction by the Romans. None of this is about anything that “end time” that pastors make a living out of.
As for the, trumpets, and the blaze of glory, and the coming on the clouds – that gets downplayed in John, so that it could be that what is being heralded in the other gospels is symbolism connected to a spiritual event.
14:2-6 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
On reading this, one gets the impression that the “second coming” is more about finding one’s own way having been shown it.
The unfortunate truth for so many American Christian fundamentalists is that the Modern Israel project is not even related to their received notion of appropriate Christian enthusiasm for conditions conducive to the return of their Christ, but rather it is the result of historical Masonic plotting. It has everything to do with the creation of the New World Order, and a charismatic world government leader (who is mistaken for Jesus), and Trump couldn’t have been more insolent in his latest betrayal of his “America First” base.
There two levels to it (while the following is going to be brief, please look forward to some added detail in further articles on the subject in the future). The first is the rebuilding of the Temple of Sion as a metaphor for the completion of the Great Work, just as the laying of the capstone of the pyramid signifies a finished monument. The Great Work is the socialist world “utopia” – the World State. On another level, there is the physical building of a temple that is anticipated by American Christian fundamentalist “end times” prophesiers and their congregations. This is for encouraging the Luciferian Globalist elite’s preferred mode of behaviour for the Christians of the USA: sitting around on their hands, feeling smug, and waiting to be saved. It is a mode that permits large and frequent rings to be run around these people; all sorts of evil to be committed and never resisted because, as far as the Christian fundamentalists are concerned, it’s all “God’s will”, and doesn’t matter because the world is going to end soon, and the elect are going to be raptured. And then, to cap it all, “Jesus” is going to rule the New World Order.
On the complete other hand, Luciferians absolutely abhor and detest the resistance that is a natural by-product of the activity of “saints” (meant in the same way that the word was used for the 30AD converts who were trying to exit from Mystery Babylon) whose salvation depended on following the way of Yeoshua.
‡ We mustn’t forget the Christians of Jerusalem, who aren’t celebrating because the distinct threat to peace that Trump’s act represents. See this.
ǂ William Cooper’s HOTT (find a link to the library here) broadcasts are brimming with this sort of stuff. Here is the show that inspired the thinking behind this article:
†Saul is a dubious character in the author’s opinion. Once a Pharisee (so a member of the Jewish elite, certainly, a secret society, possibly – and thereofore initiated into the Mystery School [this needs further investigation]) who never met Yeoshua, worked independently of the disciples – and got into a fight with Peter when he did meet them – was not taught the gospel by man, but claimed that he received it “through the revelation of Jesus Christ”.
