Publisher’s Preface
Greetings! The following presentation is volume twenty-five of a 36-volume production of some 6,000 pages on “Ezekiel and YHWH’s Judgment for the Good News People,” all of which is on the Internet at the www.AgeEnd.com web site.
This overall effort provides an interpretation of the Good News message in the New Testament, its linkage to the book of Ezekiel, and an application of both to the age-end prophecies relating to certain nations and peoples now out in the world. In order for this single volume to be understood and comprehended, it is imperative that the study be read from its beginning--from page one of volume one.
Anyone trying to read this volume or the study’s 6,000 pages at any mid-point will end up in a state of confusion without having read and digested the preceding material. It is crucially important that this work be read in sequence from its beginning--otherwise, the reader will almost certainly end up missing the essence of the message!
The effort was originally set on a Macintosh computer with Microsoft Word 6.0.1. It was set in Helvetica, 12-point type (18 pt on chapter headings); single line spacings; and margins: left 1.2”, right 0.8”, top 0.7”, bottom 0.8” and footer 0.6” (for page numbers).
For further information on obtaining this study in 18 computer floppy disks (IBM-formatted, high density, 2HD, 1.44 MB, 3 1/2 inches); in a single CD-Rom; or in hard copies (when the Internet or a compatible computer is not available); please write the publisher at the above address and send a stamped, self-addressed, long (legal-size), return envelope.
With a CD-Rom or computer floppy disks, the study is readable on Macintosh (systems 5.0 and later) or IBM/compatible (with Microsoft Word-Windows) personal computers. May The Great CREATOR and SOVEREIGN OF THE UNIVERSE bless you as you study His word to learn His will and to obey Him. Shalom (peace) to you and yours!

Chapter 376--Government Control Over Religion
All Religious Views are Acceptable?
In the context of the now developing New World Order (for Satan’s coming government, to be discussed later), everybody’s (politically correct) religions and religious rituals and rites are valid and can be observed by them, as long as they respect, tolerate and appreciate other people’s views (as will be described in some detail in subsequent chapters).
For sure, this system will have some role to play in the coming mark of the beast (as will be described in comments to follow). It certainly represents the epitome of the current religious ecumenical movement. In other words, we are all the same and can all get together and hug and kiss each other without being concerned with (supposedly unimportant) different beliefs.
In this sense, all of the 32,000 different forms of Christendom can join hands and worship with other worldly faiths--Moslem, Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, Reform Judaism, Spiritualism and primitive Black demon worship.
In a way, this is what the entire New Age movement and the New World Order are all about--the joint toleration and acceptance of all worldly religions and faiths.
Thus, the future might entail the creation of a one world state made up of unimportant diversities where all of these divisions are politically correct and pay overall homage and service to the beast power and government. Even Sabbath keeping groups, like the Seventh-day Adventists and Seventh Day Baptists, might fare all right, as long as they are a part of the overall sun worship agenda (as they are largely at this time).
Not Just All, But All Politically Correct!
In allowing that all religious views can be acceptable, some qualifications are in order. Obviously, all views are acceptable provided that they are the politically correct views of the plutocrats who are calling the shots and working on the New World Order.
Any religious groups which do not fall into line on this grand, over-all scheme of political correctness (like the previously mentioned Branch Davidians, the Christian Identity groups and so forth) will be outlawed and destroyed by the government--if government is given a chance (as will happen for the three and one-half years of the great tribulation).
In other words, toleration is the order of the day if your group is on the approved list. If your group is not on the approved list, then it is a cult which must be outlawed, crushed and destroyed. Even now, in 2003, the Big Brother US liberal government is very tolerant, and there are constitutional guarantees when a religion is “right.” But conversely, there are no allowances or freedoms when a religion is wrong.
Religious Issues
A news report in the March 1998 “Prophecy Flash” (p. 23) said that a network of psychiatric, legal, media and Socialist groups are pressuring European governments to outlaw or curtail the activities of certain well known religious organizations--reportedly including Catholic Charismatics, Hasidic Jews, Baptists, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Quakers, Buddhists and the YWCA.
In the interest of ecumenicalism, it is probable that this present European effort will not proceed on all of the so-called cults or sects listed. Most of those groups surely will become a part of the overall new world religion, now on the horizon, and will present no threat to a dictatorial state.
As a fall out of the 9-11 terrorist attacks in the US, a whole series of new laws have been enacted (as will be assessed in later chapters). But one of the terrifying new measures is that the US government may now monitor religious and political institutions without suspecting any criminal activity (Jan-Feb 2003 “Prophecy Flash,” p. 24). Once Big Brother can do it, he will do it!
But the value of the above reports lies in the revelation that governments are making plans to clamp down on politically unapproved religions. Certainly, it goes to prove that there are agencies and activities right now busy monitoring and checking into the faiths of different groups and sects. If one of them surfaces which does not fit into the approved module, Big Brother will come down hard on the group and its members.
Using Labels
Preceding chapters herein have discussed at some length the situation with the Branch Davidians of Waco and the presence of much evidence which would allow that the federal reaction to them was predicated, at least, in part, upon their politically incorrect religion. Daily, Janet Reno and the FBI called them a cult and something evil and bad.
In a 60 Minutes TV interview in 1994, Reno followed up by defining a religious cultist as “...one who has a strong belief in the Bible and the Second Coming of Christ; who frequently attends Bible studies; who has a high level of financial giving to a Christian cause; who home schools their children; who has accumulated survival foods and has a strong belief in the Second Amendment; and who distrusts government.
“Any of these may qualify (a person as a cultist) but certainly more than one (of these) would cause us (the US Attorney General) to look at this person as a threat, and his family as being in a risk situation that qualified for government intervention” (Jan 1999 “McAlvany Intelligence Advisor,” p. 24, Donald McAlvany, editor).
Donald McAlvany followed up on Reno’s comments by checking with some of his FBI friends. They confirmed that the FBI had developed such a perp (perpetrator) profile to use in their investigation work. McAlvany, in his Jan 1999 newsletter, then asked if these profiles will be used by the FBI to round up undesirables?
US authorities have taken this stance, despite the fact that the Constitution authorizes a thing called freedom of religion. Obviously, the Constitution has become a document with no power to limit, restrict or rein in an abusive, power-mad government. Big Brother is making plans right now to clamp down on all unapproved religions.
More on Curtailing Freedom of Religion
The Project Megiddo joint report and effort, involving the FBI, Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), will be assessed in some detail in a later chapter in that it consisted of making allegations that the Militia, Christian Identity and other religious, right wing groups “might” commit acts of terrorism to help speed up the battle of Armageddon and the return of their Gee-Zeus.
There is no need to broach that material at this time since it will be covered later. But a few points about its message need to be highlighted.
The report was a 1999 focus primarily upon the just noted Militias and other groups (obviously including religious and/or right wing people--like the Christian Identity proponents) fearful of apocalyptic events associated with Armageddon and the New World Order conspiracy theories. Allegedly, they could or would commit acts of violence over the Y2K event and the arrival of the new millennium.
As is always true, the writers of this report followed the normal, routine method of the leftists in never dealing with any facts, logic or truth; but instead, with a focusing upon their politically incorrect enemies in the sense of demonizing the people in the groups and trying to make an unwarranted and unsubstantiated case for the alleged great evil in these non-conformist groups.
This is what happened at Waco. Federal authorities and their leftist colleagues in the press never dealt with any known truths (like the fact that the Waco Sheriff had investigated the Davidians and found no problem with them); but instead, focused upon a personality attack on Koresh about how evil he was and how many guns he and his colleagues owned (as if there was something wrong in owning a gun).
In any case, the whole Project Megiddo report was an attack upon the personalities and people in the Militias and right wing Christian groups (certainly the Christian Identity movement), who were constantly labeled as extremists, hate people and White supremacists who “may possibly” commit acts of violence in connection with Y2K because they believe in coming apocalyptic events at Armageddon and in a New World Order conspiracy.
Some True Facts
The fact is that no Militia organization has ever historically committed an act of violence in the United States in over 200 years (although the case can be made that some Militia units fought the British redcoats in the American Revolutionary War). Furthermore, there is no record of any fundamentalist, right wing, Christian Church organization committing any acts of violence against others in the US.
Some persons might try to claim that the Jim Jones Christian cult was guilty here. But Jones was a leftist, and not a rightist. Some would even dispute the charge that he was a Christian. Plus, Jones did his most famous works of evil in Jonestown in South America and not in the US.
Of course, it is true that some right wing, individual, Christian people, like the nut Buford Furrow and others, have committed acts of violence (just like individual people in all Christian denominations and other religious groups commit acts of crime and violence--to include, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists and on and on).
The few people in the well publicized Order met at the Aryan Nations group. But that reality should not indict the Aryans Nations or its linked Church of Jesus Christ Christian for terrorism.
In any case, the so-called Order was not a Christian group, per se. It was a small, insignificant, political group which apparently undertook some crimes to obtain money and ostensibly further its political objectives. Its leader and likely some of its members were actually Odinists in religion. So they were not even Christians, as is true with the Aryans.
Moreover, some observers (who are really duped by Big Brother and the controlled national media) might try to say that the Davidians were an organization which committed acts of violence, but it appears that the Big Brother government was the perpetuators of violence at Waco and not the Davidians (as proven in former chapters herein).
Not only were the feds busy murdering a huge assortment of women and children at Waco, but they murdered a mother holding her small baby at Ruby Ridge and machine gunned a small, 14 year-old boy in the back. No federal officials have ever stood trial for these murders committed upon innocent women and children (and none will ever stand trial because they are above the law).
The Real Terrorists
So, based upon history and factual truths, it would seem that federal agents are the terrorists who commit acts of violence and crime against innocent Americans (and not the Militia or right wing Christian groups). In other words, the terrorists are the people accusing other innocent parties of terrorism.
This is a classic trick of demon inspired leftists, as discussed previously herein. The objective is to never deal with facts, truth and righteousness. Instead, launch a barrage of complaints and charges against your enemies and demonize them on a personal basis (yes, attack personalities).
As federal agents and media people continue with a barrage of hypocrisy and lies, the public begins believing the lies (the Schicklgruber tactic was to tell a lie, over and over, and finally the people would believe it). With the help of the controlled media, the gullible public is expected to build up hate toward these politically incorrect enemies when there is no factual basis for hate.
More Facts
The very fact that there was a linkage of these persons of alleged evil to a belief in the coming of a New World Order is interesting. It was President George H. W. Bush, himself, who popularized the phrase “the New World Order.” Per analyst David Wegener (in his video on the “American Holocaust”), Bush referred to the New World Order at least some 200 times.
Subsequently, it has been any number of Clinton aides, colleagues and assistants, who continued to refer to the New World Order in the context of a coming world government (like Sandy Berger, Strobe Talbot, etc). While young George W. Bush and his people have not used the New World Order term (they talk about globalism and the international community), the idea is manifestly present in their actions.
The Militias and Christian right never invented any of the talk on the New World Order. All of it started in Washington by the George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton administrations. All that people on the right have done is to quote the Washington politicians and bureaucrats.
Even the Y2K thing cannot be laid to the Militias and Christian right. Certainly, vast numbers of leading government people talked about and speculated on Y2K. In fact, governments and corporations spent billions of dollars in preparing for Y2K. Congressional committees held hearings and Slick Clinton, himself, built an underground bunker at the White House in preparation for Y2K.
So, why try to attach concern over Y2K to the Militia units, Christian right wing and fundamentalist churches which have never committed any acts of violence in the US. That some of these individual persons had some concern, there is no doubt. But also, millions of other people had concern and spent enormous sums of money trying to alleviate that apprehension.
Finally, there is the reference to apocalyptic events and the name of Megiddo being attached to the Y2K project report. Of course, no one bothered to tell the gullible public that the very word apocalyptic connects to the last book in the Scriptures--the book of Revelation (which in the Greek is the word “apokalupsis”). In the Romance languages, the word Apocalypses refers to the book of Revelation.
Moreover, the word Megiddo is a geographical, Scriptural reference in the land of Yisrael. It is repeatedly used in the Tanakh (Josh 12:21; 17:11; Jud 1:27; 5:19 and so forth). Of course, it appears in the NT (in the context of the hill of Megiddo or Armageddon--Rev 16:16).
All Christians and Jews, who have ever read or studied the Scriptures, must broach this word and must wonder and be concerned about its meaning. There cannot be much in the way of study and contemplation on the Scriptures by trying to avoid the word Megiddo.
Michael Bunker, Revisited
In his video on “The Mark of the Beast... The Final Connection,” Michael Bunker raised many of the issues, just highlighted above. Bunker then went on to ask if this reality is evidence that, all of a sudden, the federal authorities are in on the work of offering “Bible studies” since they are the ones quoting and referring to Scriptural terms.
As Bunker concluded, the purpose of the Project Megiddo report was not to warn the nation about any real terrorism from the Militias and right wing Christian groups. Clearly, the people in Washington and the plutocrats calling the shots had other motives.
And that background takes one to the “Anti-Demonization” study, put out by the Christian Identity motion to expose Big Brother’s plans for the Megiddo report (to be described in detail in a later chapter in connection with the Megiddo allegations).
Suffice to say, the FBI and various other hate groups are laying the groundwork for the mass arrest of some right wing Christians on some pretext. As noted elsewhere herein, a hate group, like the Anti-Defamation League, may initiate some act of terrorism and then work with the FBI to blame it on the Militias or Christian Identity people (or now, after 9-11, it would be popular to blame Muslim terrorists).
Britain
The Mar/Apr 2000 “Prophecy Club” newsletter (p. 6) had a news report from Britain on “U.K. Station Fined for Anti-Gay Ad” which demonstrated how far this insanity has progressed in Britain. This story was about visiting US Christian preacher Morris Cerullo and his evangelistic campaign in Britain.
Cerullo or some of his British supporters ran an advertisement on the British Christian TV channel criticizing queers. The ad noted that homosexuality was an abomination and implied that faggots should not be allowed to hold public office. The local British Independent Television Commission said that the ad was found to “prejudice respect for human dignity.”
Thereupon, the Television Commission fined the Christian Channel 20,000 pounds for daring to run the advertisement. What this amounts to, in Britain right now, is that if a station says something critical about faggots, then they will be heavily fined or perhaps closed down, which is apparently an allowable option.
France
A news report from the Jul 10, 2000, “Spotlight” (p. 2) noted that the French national Assembly had passed a new law addressing certain religious sects and making “mental manipulation” a crime (in the sense of the cults which manipulate people). A convicted person committing this “crime” can face five years in jail and a fine of $75,000. Judges will have the power to dissolve cults if they repeat certain offenses.
Russia
In 1997, Boris Yeltsin signed into law an act which outlawed numerous religious organizations that had been working in Russia for the past 15 years (Mar 2000 “National Liberty Journal,” p. 6).
Apparently, this focus was upon non-Orthodox religions. Evidently, the Russian Orthodox Church has reasserted itself as the state run church and was obviously exempted from the recent legislation. It is unclear what the ultimate outcome of this move will be. For sure, it means an increasing time of trouble for Protestant Churches which have been busy proselytizing people in Russia.
Belarus
This motion set in place in Russia seems to be spreading to its sister states. For instance, a news report in the Oct 18, 2002, “The Week” (p. 8) said that the Belarusian Parliament had passed a law declaring that the Russian Orthodox faith is the state’s “determining” religion.
The law also makes a draconian move to oppression by outlawing all religious groups which have been in business in Belarus for less than 20 years. This means that only those religious groups which were operating in the state over 20 years ago would be allowed to continue operating in the state.
The law will be implemented through a state-run registration process. Qualifying religions can be registered and function with government approval. All other religious faiths cannot be registered and cannot pray in groups, publish, organize religious schools or host foreigners (Nov 18, 2002, “Jerusalem Report,” p. 8).
This new law effectively outlaws most or all minority faiths and particularly new ones. Traditional groups (Jews, Muslims, Catholics, and most of the old mainline Protestant Churches that were in Belarus 20 years ago) would be allowed to continue to worship in Belarus. But any of the so-called cults or sects outside the traditional religious definitions are now excluded from Belarus.
Saudi Arabia
The May 23, 2003, “The Week” (p. 9) had a news item on the work of the Saudi Arabian government and its new Internet web site (Hesbah.com) which Saudis can use to anonymously accuse their neighbors of violating religious laws and rules.
Apparently, the Saudis have a government agency, called the Authority for the Promotion of Virtues and Prevention of Vices, set up to monitor religious activities. While the focus of this effort is on Muslims and Moslem beliefs and practices, it is easy to see that the concept can quickly gravitate to other nations and other religions--to include even the US, as will be shown in the following remarks.
US Office of Religious Persecution-Monitoring?
In the US, the Congress has introduced a bill (HR 2431) to create a US Office of Religious Persecution Monitoring, ORPM (Sep-Oct 1998 “Prophecy Club” newsletter, p. 7). The 1998 bill is based upon specifications from the UN Charter on Human Rights. Among other things, it provides that the ORPM will do the following:
“Approve or disapprove licenses for pastors, priests, teachers, leaders and employees; establish national standards of acceptable religious practices; bring sanctions and penalties against individuals and religious organizations that do not comply with federal guidelines; punish persons and groups who commit hate crimes by asserting that ‘their’ religion, scriptures, or deity is exclusive or superior to others;
“Forbid persons from tithing or giving money to religious groups not on the government’s approved list; seize the money and property of persons or groups that engage in unauthorized religious activity; monitor all means of communication and the media to insure compliance; target ‘spiritual defective’ individuals who refuse ecumenical religious unity (with offenders being referred for criminal prosecution under hate crime laws);
“Work closely with other federal law enforcement agencies to insure that religious unity laws are enforced and that all religious groups are registered with the ORPM; and guarantee every American the freedom from all dangerous and radical religious sects and cults unapproved by the ORPM.” While this thing has not yet passed, it is on the drawing boards and will surely become law at some point in time.
Present US Media Censorship
Of course, other US government agencies are now getting on board the wagon to also assert their bureaucratic power over the religious beliefs of the people (contrary to the US Bill of Rights).
For example, the Feb 7, 2000, “Spotlight” (p. 6) had a story by P. Samuel Foner on “Fight Looming Over TV Censorship.” Foner noted that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is suppressing religious expressions on TV.
Some members of Congress complained over the FCC discrimination on Jan 11, 2000. The background is that the FCC is trying to restrict the content of programming by religious broadcasters. Critics say that the FCC action amounts to censorship. The idea is that religious broadcasting will have to meet the FCC’s approved list or criteria for broadcasting. By starting with TV, the control can soon include radio as well.
The point of these various government efforts is that religious freedom is about to end--all over the world. Powerful forces are at work right now to terminate the global religious freedom enjoyed throughout the West since 1648 and the Peace of Westphalia. While the coming list of unapproved religions may include a number of faiths, the Christian Identity movement will assuredly be at the top of the page.
More on the Internet Fall-out for the Religious Right
This just noted censorship/control situation brings up another issue for Internet users (besides that of the Saudis, as mentioned above).
The Mayberry Internet service company will be discussed in a subsequent chapter. Significantly, it has a service to screen out undesirable Internet web sites--like those dealing with pornography and hate (per the politically correct definition, that includes all groups which can be called racist or White supremacists--to include the Ku Klux Klan and Christian Identity Churches).
The push to regulate and control the Internet was outlined in a story by Sam Francis on “Globo-Cops Want Internet Censored” in the Jan 17, 2000, “Spotlight” (p. 14). This article quoted the Cato Institute, which has released a study on efforts to muzzle the Internet both at federal and state levels. Clearly, work is underway to outlaw hate speech (as defined by Big Brother) and track its purveyors.
Obviously, Congress will soon pass legislation or Big Brother will sign an Executive Order to crack down on a number of right wing Christian groups--with a special focus upon the Christian Identity Churches. This tragedy is coming into reality, despite the US Constitution guaranteeing freedom of religion and speech.
Yes, there will be freedom of religion and speech for those acts which qualify as allowable by the government. Conversely, there will be absolutely no allowance for any speech, thoughts, acts, worship or religions which do not march to the tune of Big Brother.
The Libraries
Actually, in early 2002, this whole subject boiled into the news when Washington began issuing instructions on limiting Internet use to all US libraries that receive US funding. Correctly, this has been the way for 50 years--in that the US government has and can take over all aspects of state and local government, through federal funding.
Within the United States, state and local government units have been anxious to accept federal funding on a host of issues. But once Big Brother provides money for anything, Big Brother then proceeds to issue laws and instructions on how the recipients will function (not always, just in terms of the federal funding; but often, in other aspects as well).
In any case, the US government has been providing money to local libraries (particularly for them to access Internet services). Now, Washington has issued instructions that all library Internet services will include a provision to filter out or restrict sites. Ostensibly, the concern is over pornographic sites.
But with this opening door, it allows Big Brother to control all aspects of all sites (including all of the politically incorrect ones as well, which is the real goal in this entire effort).
Of course, most US libraries could care less about government efforts to restrict politically incorrect sites (yes, most libraries are quite anxious to see the Ku Klux Klan and Christian Identity web sites totally eliminated), but many of the libraries are much concerned over the possibilities of restricting porno, sex and other popular web sites (not only because of the wishes of library patrons, but also library employees).
The new instructions prompted at least one lawsuit from a group of Northeastern US libraries challenging the new federal rules. The outcome of this issue is not completely settled in early 2003, but one can be sure that Big Brother will win. One can also be assured that more of this control is right now on Washington’s drawing board.
The feds announced recently that they had shut down an Internet kiddy porn ring which has seen the arrest of a cop, eight clergymen (including two Catholic priests) and a school-bus driver (Mar 22, 2002, “The Week,” p. 5).
Attorney General John Ashcroft promised more surveillance of the net. While some of this sounds good, it won’t be long before Washington turns its sights on politically incorrect people.
The Mark of the Beast
Almost any presentation on government oppression in the age end eventually leads the student of truth into a focus upon the coming arrangement which might form the basis for the anticipated “mark of the beast,” as mentioned above and as foretold by Yohanan (Rev 13:16-18). Some clarification is now needed on what this mark might be.
The mark of the beast has likely had one or more historical and ante-typical fulfillments (i.e. the sign of the cross, discussed before; and of course, Sunday worship, as many Sabbath keeping groups suggest). However, there remains the strong possibility of a great typical fulfillment which may incorporate some of these earlier types, as well as something new and quite extraordinary.
The focus of this mark or sign on or in a person’s hand and/or forehead has some interesting parallels in the Scriptures. The unleavened bread days of Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were to be a sign upon people’s hands and a memorial between their eyes (Ex 13:9).
Certain of YHWH’s commandments were to be placed upon a believer’s hand and forehead (as elsewhere discussed) in a manner to serve as a reminder of them and to prompt obedience (Deut 6:8). Of course, a mark was put upon Cain, as noted before, (Gen 4:15) and the Seventh day Sabbath is a sign or mark to know YHWH (Ex 31:12-17).
In a prophetic study on the “Place of Safety” (p. 9), the former Dr Ernest L. Martin of Portland, Oregon cited the above several Scriptures and concluded that the mark of the beast will be a reintroduction of the law of Moshe as a mandatory requirement for people in the kingdom of the so-called “Antichrist.”
As Martin noted, it would take something this profound to even begin to fool the very elect (Matt 24:24-25). He said that Christmas, Easter and Sunday worship services wouldn’t hack it. He suggested that it would take mandatory Seventh day Sabbaths and YHWH’s feast days and observances from the Word to even approach fooling the election.
While his comments were interesting and should be kept in mind, this writer cannot fathom that the beast power would impose righteousness (YHWH’s mitzwot are righteousness) on so-called humanity in any sense of being bad or wrong. Like the Book says, whoever teaches the least of YHWH’s laws will be great in His coming kingdom (Matt 5:19).
The Ante-Type
To whatever extent a sun worshipper or evil person teaches YHWH’s mitzwot correctly, be assured that this motion is good. But the point of the various Scriptural references can have relevance when one looks at the historical record of what happened during the ante-typical great tribulation, imposed upon the civilized world by the Roman Catholic Church--with the rise to power of Constantine (c312-325 CE).
What happened is that Rome imposed her heathen sun worshipping religious beliefs on the world as duties and commandments. This pagan false worship was in the minds of the people as duties and requirements and in the hands of people in the form of obedience. The sign of the cross and mandatory Sunday observances were only visible signs or marks of adherence to this overall sun worship theology and system.
During the coming ministry of the first two prophets/the two final witnesses, the Mosaic code will be taught by them and largely restored among much of the election and perhaps many of the Jews in Palestine. The final two witnesses will seemingly be labeled as the beast and false prophet of Revelation 13 by Satan and the evil worldly rulers. That surely will be the reason that they will be so hated.
It’s hard to fathom that the real beast and false prophet would impose on the world the theology of righteousness which will be taught and advocated by any of YHWH’s coming prophets or witnesses.
More Possibilities
As another alternative, the Adversary might possibly blend the two in some fashion so that the election can almost be fooled. Possibly, both the seventh and first days will be days of worship (which is what Catholicism has been toying with for some time now, in allowing Mass on the Seventh day Sabbaths, as well as on Sundays). Incidentally, this seems to be the new focus of the world’s present ecumenical movement.
Another possibility is that the sun worship culture (under the beast power or as a prelude to it) will successfully disrupt the weekly cycle in some fashion (as elsewhere discussed herein), perhaps by adding a one day world holiday annually. Finally, the beast could impose the Sabbaths and feast days in the context of an altered calendar in some other way to interfere in their proper meanings.
In this context, maybe Martin was correct and so-called Sabbath and feast day observances will then be imposed. While such an alteration may satisfy and indeed fool a lot of people (to include Christendom in general), it’s hard to imagine that real Sabbath and feast day keepers would be taken in by it (like true Jews, Philadelphia, Sardis Sacred Name elements, etc).
For sure, the coming mark of the beast will involve “religious” dispositions, feelings and beliefs which will be manifested in a person’s mind (as a love or devotion) and in their hands (in the context of obedience and duties to the system).
Since the deadly wound of the beast is to be healed, one must not rule out a repeat of the dark ages when Rome did impose the cross, Sunday worship and so forth on the civilized world.
666
The last several years have seen a number of commercial companies start to use product or merchandising bar codes on any number of products. This is becoming very prevalent in grocery stores and retail outlets which now use optical scanners to read these bar codes. Some persons have been quick to point out the incorporation of the number 666 in many of these codes.
The Jul-Aug 2000 “Prophecy Flash” (p. 5) reported a story from Russia that the Russians are now using a 666 bar code in identification numbers and cards being given to each Russian and each, new-born, Russian child. The Russian Orthodox Church has protested this system. But it seems to be in place.
It’s easy to see that a new international ID card or system, to be discussed in the following chapters, will be quite useful in this endeavor. Consequently, it must be allowed that perhaps the number 666 will someway and somehow be incorporated into the mark of the beast system and used for personal identification by the global, human populations.
Chapter 377--Identification Cards and Numbers
National and International ID Cards
One of the primary features of the present oppressive government and its plans for a New World Order is the likelihood of a new international identification card which all citizens of the world will probably have to have and carry at all times.
There is a strong possibility that such a card will allow the attainment of a world situation where no one can buy or sell, unless he has a certain mark or sign of identification, as discussed in the preceding chapter.
As the January 2002 “American Sentinel” (p. 6) noted-- “In the 19th century, it was sufficient to ask who you are, in the 20th century, it was sufficient to show who you are, in the 21st century, you will have to prove who you are.”
Manifestly, a national or international ID card will allow Big Brother to track people, to profile them and to categorize them as being pro-government or anti-government (ibid, p. 11). Once in Big Brother’s computer as a dissident, it will be an easy process for the government to freeze or seize the assets of any citizen who doesn’t march to the tune piped by the New World Order.
This national and/or international ID card scheme has to be a very dangerous sign of our times and one amply anticipated in the age end (Rev 13:16-17). Most nations over the globe have already fallen into place on this need and now have extensive and very mandatory ID card requirements for their populations.
The United States is quickly falling into line on this very thing here in the early 21st century, although there remains the presence of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights (including the 10th amendment) which must be deceitfully overcome.
The last few years have seen a number of possible schemes surface and the current one alive on the Internet and in some conservative papers is the effort of the US government to use the state issued driver’s licenses as national ID cards. The “Jubilee” paper of May-June 1997 had a couple of articles by Cyndee Parker which summarized these motions.
Parker’s first Jubilee article, on “National ID Is Now Federal Law” (p. 1, 11), reveals that the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act mandated that US states begin to use “digital fingerprints” on all driver’s licenses by Oct 1, 2000, according to standards developed by the US Treasury.
Present Developments
These digitized fingerprints will be individualized (numerically) to fit each and every American citizen, and will be placed on each card (via a chip or some other means), along with other biometric information--such as retina scans, DNA prints and similar data (Jul 3-16, 1998, “Trade N’ Save” newspaper, p. 1). The ID cards will then become “smart cards,” capable of being read by any scan machine, anywhere.
Along with all of the other data being stored on the ID cards, one of the most intriguing innovations has been the capability to use electronic data to reproduce a person’s facial features numerically and record it as a part of the biometric data in a digital format (as will be described in a later chapter herein).
Polaroid Corporation seems to be leading the way on this technology. In 1998, she entered into a contract with the state of West Virginia to place this type of data on all of its state issued drivers’ licenses (issue 21, “AIPL Communiqué,” p. 19).
More Planning
As a follow-up on these present “marking” efforts, US Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) has been pushing and has introduced in Congress a bill for a mandatory national ID card for every American which has on it a magnetic strip with personal data and a digitized fingerprint, probably the same as the one now planned for the driver’s licenses.
The Sep 11, 2001, Muslim attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, noted earlier herein, may well be the catalyst to speed up the adoption of a national ID card as envisioned by Feinstein. The Sep 23, 2001, Spokane “Spokesman-Review” (p. 1-2) had a lead article on security by Tim Jones which said that “public opinion polls even reflect support for a national identity card.” So they are on the way!
Along with the new digital fingerprints, it is evident that all of the different identification cards will be connected to the various computer data banks now in existence, probably by the widely used and required Social Security numbers, to be addressed next. For example, banks are now requiring people to be fingerprinted in order to cash a check (which can immediately make a link to a data bank).
The May 2001 “Internet Vortex” (p. 20) indicates that plans are afoot to scan fingerprint images in order to buy groceries or conduct other forms of business. Already, the Kroger food markets in the Houston area have a pilot project underway of checking fingerprints. Obviously, these fingerprint checks can tie back to a data bank to confirm the identity of a person and ascertain his status and purchases.
Of course, it goes without saying that all of these national computer data banks can tie together without any problem at all (probably, they already mesh at the national level).
It should be noted that one of the first acts of totalitarianism is the establishment of mandatory identification cards (for example, in Nazi Germany and various Communist countries around the world). No one can travel or move about without having to frequently show his state issued identification papers.
Now, this practice is gaining acceptance in the so-called, Western, Christian democracies. Today, in Europe, it is a common practice to have to show identification cards or papers. The United States is quickly falling in line on this requirement. When traveling, American citizens now routinely have to show identification papers/cards to periodic police checks on the highways and in order to rent a simple motel room.
Social Security Numbers
As many persons are now aware, there already is a national computer system which monitors all licensed drivers in all states and keeps track of their status and traffic violations--largely, by social security card numbers (which are also being used throughout society for all kinds of purposes; and in most situations, linking back to large computer data banks).
In today’s America, a person typically must present a valid social security number to do almost anything (like getting credit, opening a bank account, getting electric power or telephone service, entering into lease agreements, etc). In almost any dealings with the government, the first thing government bureaucrats ask for is one’s social security number--so that they can run it through their computers for a check upon the person.
Recent years have seen the IRS require that new born babies be issued a social security card before the parents can claim the child as a deduction on their tax return. Once the card is issued, the new born child is now in a federal computer, if not picked up beforehand with the record of a birth certificate.
In the 1996 elections, the state of Louisiana required prospective voters to supply their social security numbers before they could vote (Jul-Aug 1997 “The Prophecy Club” newsletter, p. 12). As late as July 1999, the state of New Mexico attempted to mandate the use of social security numbers for the purchase of state hunting and fishing licenses (Jul 19, 1999, “Spotlight,” p. 2).
Some forty years ago, this writer was issued a CPA certificate from the state of Oklahoma. The annual registration and payment of the license fee has been diligently accomplished all of these years. Just recently, the licensing board in Oklahoma sent me a demand for my social security number. They said that they would keep it confidential. The question must be why do they need it?
The truth is that they don’t need it. This writer has had a name and mailing address for communication purposes with them for 40 years. We have had no problems over the arrangement heretofore. After all, my only contact with them is for them to send me a annual registration form to collect some money from me. Otherwise, we really have no mutual business or need for dialogue.
So, if they don’t need my social security number, why do they want it? Is it not quite evident that my number and registration will be tied in by a computer network system in some way to Washington--where all of the social security numbers eventually converge.
In early 1997, Noah W. Hutchings and a colleague of the Southwest Radio Church of Oklahoma City requested a visit to the new Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma City (one of the civilian internment camps capable of handling 55,000 inmates annually). News reports said that persons interested in visiting the site for a tour should contact the institution.
Thus, Hutchings and his friend requested a tour. They had to submit their names and social security numbers even for consideration. Both were subsequently disapproved with no real explanation on why (July 1997 “Prophetic Observer,” p. 2-3). Is it not clear that the social security numbers of Hutchings and his friend were run through federal computer files before a determination was made to reject their applications?
Incidentally, the official explanation for these new Federal Transfer Centers (which are going up all over the United States) is that they will be used for the transfer of federal prisoners to other prison camps. A reader’s letter in the Nov-Dec 2001 “Prophecy Flash” (p. 81) suggested that they are to become processing centers for Americans sold to foreign countries. This suggestion may have some merit.
FDR and Social Security Identification Numbers
When FDR forced the social security system on the American public, the people were told that the social security numbers/cards would never be used for identification. In fact, for years, the issued cards stated “not for identification” (as mine so states). But all of this has changed. Social security numbers are now mandated as the identifying numbers for all Americans--in the form of the new drivers’ licenses (in October 2000).
Social Security Numbers in Europe?
In a televised interview with Tony Snow on Jun 17, 2001, Secretary of State Colin Powell made a gaffe that made Snow temporarily freeze. On Russian scientists, who have disappeared, Powell said it could present a problem because Russia does not have a social security system as in America--which allows the US to monitor, track and capture American citizens (Jul 2, 2001, “Spotlight,” p. 14).
This little inadvertent slip of the tongue should tell even the biggest dullard something about both America and its social security system. But it won’t be long and Russia will have her social security identification numbers. Indeed, the whole of Europe is now falling in line on this new form of tyranny--thanks to the US.
In the Feb 4, 2001, “Coast to Coast AM” program, Ian Punnett noted that United Europe is implementing a social security numbering system for her member states. These numbers are to be identifying numbers for each person in the EU and be recorded upon the various identification papers. Apparently, there has been some backlash from some people over the plan. But it seems to be proceeding into effect.
The Enum System
The Nov-Dec 2001 “Prophecy Flash” (p. 49) had a prophesy report that the US government has now given approval to a proposal to create a global numbering system called “Enum.” The plan is to give everyone an eleven digit number to facilitate global communications (like with the Internet). This system was developed by Patrik Ealstrom, an engineer at Cisco Systems.
The social security number is eleven digests. Could there be a connection?
The same “Prophecy Flash” (p. 49) also noted that British Prime Minister Tony Blair has given approval for a national ID card for the people of Britain. Polls show that 85% of the British people approve of the cards. Some 70% of the American population has similarly expressed their approval for a national ID card. Maybe the Enum system is on the way globally--with the approval of the people.
Chapter 378--Reaching Out
The Draft Registration Process
Not content with just the social security numbers (outlined previously), the US government has continued the draft registration practices commenced in WWII. Under these procedures, all young men must register with the Selective Service upon reaching age 18. Thereafter, they must keep the Selective Service people informed of address changes.
Unsatisfied with the current status of all young men, Big Brother’s agents publicly declared a new program to register all young women in the Selective Service system in June 1998. The purpose of this scheme is obvious. Now, they can have the names and addresses of all people age 18 or older in their computers.
Naturally, these files mesh together with other files--like the social security, tax and FBI files. All of these files come together nicely in Washington.
Each person in this system is primarily identified and linked together by social security numbers (and not names)--now, at the birth of children with the new IRS requirement for babies to have social security numbers. By punching in this number, the computer can extract all information known about a person from all government levels and files--federal, state and local.
Employment Profile Records
One of the most far reaching new federal rules put into effect in 1998 is a new requirement for US businesses to prepare a report to Big Brother whenever they hire a new employee. Assuredly, these individual employment records and reports will feed into a giant computer somewhere to monitor the status of each person in the American workforce.
The Latest Developments in Banking
Once the public was forced to use social security numbers in order to open a bank account, the banks went to work to see what all they could do with the convenience of an identifying (social security) number for all American citizens.
A news report on Aug 1, 2000, disclosed that the banking establishment has set up a central data base of Americans using banking services who have bounced checks for whatever reason--like insufficient funds, closed accounts or whatever. Of course, this data base is predicated upon social security numbers.
What all the banks will use this data base for is still open to question. For sure, this data base will be consulted when a person applies for a loan or credit. Since the banking industry has access to it, we can be sure that Big Brother in Washington will also have access to it.
Big Brother is intimately involved in spying upon and monitoring the financial activities of all US citizens. He is doing this through the use of social security numbers in the banking system. Remarks to follow will focus on government spying going on in the matter of writing checks and transfers of money (amounts, who to, why and so forth).
New Banking Dossiers
Beyond all of the personal identifying information (including social security numbers, etc) which US banks now require from customers and which are being used for various purposes (as noted above), something far more sinister is on the immediate horizon, as outlined in an article on “Big Brother Banks” in the Dec 1998 “Idaho Observer” (p. 8).
The essence of this report is that the federal government under Clinton launched an effort through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to require banks to begin compiling all types of new data and information on customers which can ultimately be fed into centralized federal computers to compile profiles and data on all Americans having bank accounts.
The specific information is an effort to determine where each customer’s money comes from and where it goes. Once a profile is established, the feds will be in a position to recognize and leap upon any deviation. In other words, if a customer comes up with an unusual deposit, this fact will be immediately highlighted. Any unusual checks will also prompt an immediate inquiry as to why.
From the beginning, banks will be required to make reports to the FDIC on these unique deposits and checks. In time, the system will likely become so sophisticated that data from the banks feed directly (on-line) into monitoring federal computers.
To force all people to have bank accounts (and come under the program), the feds have commenced a policy of depositing all federal checks (social security, retirement, etc) directly to bank accounts. In other words, a person cannot receive a federal check directly and operate on a cash basis. Over time, this program will extend to all payments made to people (i.e. retirement and payroll checks, etc).
Know Your Customer
This just cited FDIC program is called “Know Your Customer.” Already, many member banks have implemented it. Also, the FDIC has proposed regulations to require non-member banks to come under the program and maintain the same type of data. The article said that the objective is to insure that the activities of all bank customers is “supervised” at various levels of rulership and control.
“The American Sentinel” newsletter of April 2001 had a detailed update report on the Clinton Know Your Customer plan. As noted above, this Clinton scheme surfaced in 1998 in the form of Treasury Department regulations. There was a storm of protests over it. So Clinton temporarily withdrew the regulation.
As the Sentinel reports (p. 2), federal bureaucrats (under Clinton’s supervision) continued to find alternative means of implementing the “Know Your Customer” plan. Thus, it was seemingly forced into effect and evidently most US banks have fully adopted the program (apparently, 80% of US banks now comply with it, per the Sentinel).
To add fuel to the scheme, the (international) Committee on Banking Supervision in Basil, Switzerland has adopted guidelines which are very similar to the Clinton Know Your Customer program. They have labeled it a “due diligence” program of identifying customers, monitoring high risk accounts and risk management. But as the Sentinel notes, it is very close to Know Your Customer.
The Committee on Banking Supervision’s guidelines are becoming the global standard for all banks worldwide. Though it lacks the force of law internationally, it appears that most countries and most banks are voluntarily adopting the international regulations.
Enforcement
A July 2001 promotion letter from Sentinel editor Lee Bellinger mentioned the establishment of the US Treasury’s “Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.” Apparently, this new US effort will oversee all of the various new bank monitoring work in league with the IRS and other federal agencies.
The US Treasury Department has had for some time a specific organizational unit devoted to the monitoring of the financial activities of American citizens. It is called FINCIN--meaning the Financial Crimes Investigations unit. This FINCIN organization will probably manage the overall Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and coordinate input and networking with the various federal agencies involved.
Deposit Tracking Records
Analyst Mark Nestmann now predicts that the next move in the financial eavesdropping program will be a “Deposit Tracking System” (Apr 2002 “American Sentinel,” p. 4). The plan will be to establish a procedure to instantly track all US credit card and bank transactions.
With this system, Big Brother can have an on-line process of monitoring all financial transactions of all Americans instantly. An Oct 2002 letter from Lee Bellinger, editor of the “American Sentinel” (p. 3), said that the plan is that FINCIN agents in the Treasury will be able to link all financial information together as applying to people--to include credit card purchases.
Sending Money Overseas
As is documented throughout this study, the US dollar is very close to a total and complete collapse. The US now runs a trade deficit monthly of over $40 billion. Too, George W. Bush is throwing money away all over the world (primarily, in order to support his various wars against the Muslims). This system cannot last much longer. A crash is imminent.
When the fall occurs, the government will make an immediate call in of all gold, silver, and other commodities of value. It’s highly likely that this call will include a demand that anyone holding any foreign currencies in hand turn them over to the government. Who knows, they may also go after foreign bank accounts. So government confiscation of assets could be gigantic in scope.
Any person above the idiot level, who hopes to get anything of value out of the US before the collapse comes, must act soon. Hence, if one plans on fleeing to Israel or Europe and one wants to have some money in Israel or Europe, then the thinking person must start making preparations at once to get funds, assets or whatever out of the country (ideally, before 2005). Soon, Washington will put a stop on this outflow!
Through the years this writer has occasionally sent a little money (in the form of a check) to certain religious ministries in the state of Israel. These have been small checks, generally of less than $100. In past years, these checks cleared my bank rapidly within a few days and there have been no extra charges on them. Never has any of the banks involved ever made a charge to me for clearing these checks.
In January 2003, this writer sent a check to a bank in Europe (a bank dealt with before by me in prior years with no difficulties). All of a sudden, this bank in Europe was required by law to collect certain information on me. It was necessary to send them a certified copy of my passport and fill out an information sheet.
In June 2002, the bank had a form out that there now was a charge of $12 to clear a check to the US. By late 2002, that charge had increased to $22. In Jan 2003, the charge was said to be $75. The European bank informed me that they were not making the charge but that it was being made to clear my check to the US. Since my bank charges nothing on these checks, it meant that someone else was doing it.
In a later check of the endorsements on the check, it appeared that J. P. Morgan-Chase (the newly merged Rothschild and Rockefeller banks) cleared the check from Europe to the Federal Reserve Bank in Seattle and on to my account in Idaho state. It is almost a surety that the Morgan-Chase bank is making this outrageous charge to clear a check.
The next surprise to me was information that it will now take up to six weeks to clear a check presented in Europe--as drawn on a US bank. This is absolutely incredible. Within the US, the Fed clears these checks within a day or two.
Actually, in the case of this check, it took seven weeks for credit to be given for its clearance. The evidence was massive that either Morgan-Chase simply kept the money and used it for seven weeks before giving credit, or something else was afoot.
The Relevance
This writer has been unable to completely ascertain the problem with this huge charge and delay in clearing a check from Europe. It completely makes no sense at all that any European bank or banking authority would be taking any action to interfere with any flow of money into Europe (after all, this inflow benefits the European economy). So the problem is likely with the Morgan-Chase bank.
The thought came to me that somebody (possibly someone in the Fed, in collusion with US Treasury agents) was putting a hold on these European checks to do something with them (perhaps a good guess would have been that someone was compiling dossiers on the check writers and other information on the checks as a part of the FINCIN program).
There is no doubt but that someone in the government is recording information on all checks passing through the US banking system. However, it is very doubtful that these government intercepts are responsible for the outrageous charges to clear a check and the huge delay in getting the transfer completed. Frankly, the best guess is that J. P. Morgan-Chase is the guilty party on both counts.
The purpose in mentioning this situation is to note that the days are now in progress or will soon be in progress where it is becoming more difficult to get money out of the US. If the government authorities were not bad enough, the big Amalekite NY banks are also taking steps to only deal with people with huge sums of money. Small transfers of money are becoming either very costly or impossible.
The point is that the evidence seems to suggest that US authorities will soon be taking action to limit the movement of US money overseas. Undoubtedly, they will work closely with the big international banks to stop this outflow and especially from people writing small checks.
Books
In another matter, the so-called Patriot Act (passed in the fall of 2001, following the terrorist acts) has another sweeping plan afoot. One of the fallouts of this act is the new plan to monitor the books people buy or read, as will be further assessed in comments to shortly follow below (Apr 2002 “American Sentinel,” p. 4).
Actually, the new financial monitoring system will allow Washington to monitor all purchases of everything. Accordingly, the Maryland-based Sovereign Society is recommending that people buy books and everything else possible by cash because if checks or credit cards ar
