213) Tracking The Northern King Of The Empire

While contemporary society thinks in terms of the West – US and Europe vs the East – Middle and Far, in Biblical times the geopolitics were arranged north and south of the Mediterranean.

At the time of Christ’s first coming the King of the North was the Roman Caesar.

The Caesarian dynasty rose to power by its founder’s victories against tribes of Gauls from what became known as Europe. Think of this as the equivalent of the French and Indian War which groomed George Washington  into becoming Father of His Country.

Gaius Julius Caesar must be understood by Latin name convention as

  1. first/personal name Gaius – as insignificant to his public identity as “Donald” is to “President Trump”,
  2. of the more significant clan / tribe / surname Caesar, a branch equivalent to Jesus as a branch of King David’s founding father Jesse of the tribe of Judah.
  3. of the most significant heritage via the total number of people /gens {genetics, generations} of Julus, equivalent to Jesus of the ethnic nation of Jacob / Israel.

We can work even further backwards in time on Julus’ genealogy, exactly as on Jesus’.

Caesar’s claim to divine connections was demonstrated by:

  • putting his image on Roman coinage – the first for a living Roman,
  • having his statues erected in public temples as the High Priest / Vicar / Representative in the flesh of the national god,
  • Renaming his birth month, originally Quintilis / Fifth (month in ancient Roman calendar} after his divine lineage with the fertility goddess through his ancestor Julus, equating him with the gods Janus / January, Mars / March, Aphrodite / April, Maia / May. 

Moves to legally declare him in actually a sacral king in the full ancient sense of incorporating the divine spirit were only pre-empted by his assassination in 44 BC.

Julius Caesar’s will announced that his great-nephew of the family Octavius was his formally adopted heir, which is to say “only begotten son” (see post 34). Accordingly, his heir’s

  1. gens – key lineage from ancient ancestor – was legally changed from Octavius to Julius
  2. and his clan – one of the many families descended from the more ancient ancestor – name to Caesar.

His heir’s “new name” / identity was by this means made identical to that of his adoptive father. in effect extending the life, power and authority of the original father. As in “I and the father are one.” (John 10:30)

214) How The British Lost The Empire

More than anything else [Hitler] dreamed of an alliance with Saxon England.

A nation, he believed, that was made up of and run by people of “excellent Germanic stock”… Hitler proclaimed that, “the English nation will have to be considered the most valuable ally in the world”. He added, “England was a natural ally for Germany and an enemy of France”, plus the latter’s communist friends in Russia, no doubt…he asserted that the English are, “our brothers, why fight our brothers?”.

Then Lloyd George came out with a quite remarkable comment. Although everyone was aware of Hitler’s antisemitism from his autobiography and in the 1930’s the Nazis’ treatment of the Jews…the ex-British premier reminded his audience that, “we must not forget the pogroms in Russia and in other European countries”. It was as if he was saying that maltreatment of the Jews happens, and has happened in communist Russia, so why attack Germany for doing the same?

Tacit British support for Germany continued under the veil of appeasement. During the Spanish Civil War…Britain wanted Franco and his fascists to take control of Spain rather than see it fall into the hands of…communists who would be controlled by Moscow…

So after looking at how friendly the British and German governments were in the 1930’s, why was there no Anglo-Nazi Pact?

215) How The Nazis Won The War

If you look at history as an investigative journalist instead of an unquestioning patriot, you’ll see that America has always shared Nazi Germany’s elitist and eugenics war agenda.

In the mid 1840’s the term “Manifest Destiny” took many a man up to calling for an unmistakable drive for American expansionism…Manifest Destiny retains its roots deep in Puritan John Winthrop’s belief and challenge to the Massachusetts Bay Colony during the 17th century…“For we must consider that we shall be as a city set upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us.” (Winthrop 1630)

The charge to demonstrate Christian virtue and morality to all people can be closely linked to O’ Sullivan’s commentary on expansion as a way to achieve Winthrop’s goal. In his 1839 editorial in the Democratic Review, he states the following.

The far-reaching, the boundless future will be the era of American greatness. In its magnificent domain of space and time, the nation of many nations is destined to manifest to mankind the excellence of divine principles; to establish on earth the noblest temple ever dedicated to the worship of the Most High — the Sacred and the True….governed by God’s natural and moral law of equality, the law of brotherhood — of ‘peace and goodwill amongst men.  (O’Sullivan 1845)…

What soon followed was the mass movement of hundreds of thousands of land-hungry white settlers across Native American lands. In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed into effect the Homestead Act, which gave 160 acres west of the Mississippi, to any man who was willing to farm it…

In most of the fighting that occurred during the period of the Indian Wars, more often than not, the Indians were simply protecting their lands.

SECTION XXXV: America In Prophecy

Popular Belief #1: America is not mentioned in the prophecies because the Rapture will have taken place…hundreds of millions of Christians will have vanished – causing enormous consternation among those who remain…

Unpopular Belief #2:

perhaps the United States may not be mentioned in Scripture because it might be devastated by a nuclear war…“The possibilities of it have never been greater,” says Laurie…

“I personally believe that the reason the U.S. is not mentioned in end time prophecy,” says Reagan, “is because we will suddenly cease to be a world power and will therefore play no significant role in end time events.”

“The destruction of American power is most likely to occur in two stages,” writes Reagan. “The first could be an economic catastrophe that will result from our out-of-control debt situation. Our god is the dollar and the Lord is going to destroy that god when the weight of our debt collapses our economy.” In such a scenario, writes Graff, “America will have suffered a financial collapse by the time of the last days, and would still exist, but not be a superpower. That is exactly what many political and financial analysts are saying about our current course. The United States will not be gone in the last days. We will just not be worth mentioning.”

The above speculations and personal opinions are discredited by

  • ignoring the intrinsic fluidity of an empire’s geography since expansion is definitive of empire,
  • ignoring that the other modern nations are not mentioned by name either,
  • contradictorily attributing modern European nations’ historical roots to their current identities while not attributing America’s European historical roots to her current identity,
  • treating the Atlantic Ocean as a barrier between segments of an empire when it never was for classical Rome, Spain, or England’s empires.

Instead of being omitted from Bible prophecy as many of the major eschatology scholars have taught for decades, what if America were at the very center of Bible prophecy?

216) The Republic For Which It Stands

According to Roman mythology, Mars, god of war, and a [human woman] were the parents of Romulus,  who founded the city named after himself.

A new system of government emerged in Rome in the 6th century BCE. The kings were expelled and their leadership replaced by a  “republic” / res publica: “thing of the people”, rule by representatives chosen by citizens entitled to vote.

We should recognize that the Romans weren’t expelling the rule of a human dynasty.

They were expelling the supervision of a national divinity over humans via the god’s Prophet – Priest – King: Spokesman IntercessorSovereign over Life and Death.

In other words, the democratic Greeks and republican Romans were Humanists, assuming jurisdiction over determining right and wrong, rewards and punishments.

Cicero, the great Roman orator, became the core example for the Humanists...a huge amount of classical Greek knowledge was now worked in to Roman politics and society.

217) America’s Notorious Spiritual Heritage

The spiritual heritage of the United States of America is notorious. Most of the most important American government leaders, institutions, monuments, buildings, and landmarks both openly acknowledge and incorporate religious words, symbols, and imagery into official venues. Such acknowledgments are even more frequent at the state and local level than at the Federal level, where thousands of such acknowledgments exist.

The Puritans in England’s colonial New England communities covenanted their citizens to realize the spirit as well as the letter of the law in their daily activities. There was an emphasis on self-control as a part of self-rule, the primacy of commitments based in consent, giving meaning to ideas such as justice and liberty.

But the early 17th century, the Renaissance movement had paved the way to the Age of Enlightenment questioning traditional authority and embraced the notion that humanity could be improved through rational change. The American and French Revolutions were directly inspired by Enlightenment ideals.

The Declaration of Independence (1776) follows the covenant form and, when linked to the frame of government supplied by either the Articles of Confederation (1781) or the U.S. Constitution (1787), established a national compact.

But! The Founding Fathers did not enter into a covenant with the God of the Bible. They founded a Republic modeled on Roman, Greek and Egyptian heritage spectacular demonstrated in the Greek and Roman influences on Washington, D.C. Architecture and absorption of conquered gods and practices.

Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, Monroe and many other of the Founding Fathers were Deists – a philosophical belief in human reason as a reliable means of solving social and political problems. Deists believe in a supreme being who created the universe to operate solely by natural laws—and after creation, is absent from the world. This belief in reason over dogma helped guide the founders toward a system of government that respected faiths like Christianity, while purposely isolating both from encroaching on one another so as not to dilute the overall purpose and objectives of either…

218) America’s Imperial Religion

The Apo-theo-sis of Washington – literally, the deification (or god-making) of George Washington. The fresco depicts Washington as Zeus on a throne in heaven surrounded by various gods and goddesses from classical mythology. Painted on the ceiling of the dome of the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. during the Civil War by Vatican artist Constantino Brumidi.

The similarities between pagan idols and monuments to our national leaders cannot be coincidental. Do you really think Satan is just sitting out history on the sidelines? Wouldn’t we expect him to be wherever the greatest power is concentrated?

washington-zeus-700x437

lincoln2band2bzeusBoth statues of Washington and Lincoln were deliberately modeled after Zeus, with Washington’s entitled “Enthroned Washington” and Lincoln’s placed in a monument expressly modeled after one of Zeus’ temples and defined as a temple on the plaque above Lincoln’s head. The timing and association of these images of Zeus is no accident of history.

And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write…I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is...where Satan dwelleth. But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.” (Revelation 2:12-14)

219) Name It And Claim It Doesn’t Work

Dr. David Jeremiah, megachurch pastor, bestselling author and popular Bible teacher, speaks for the Religious Right when he states that believes the End Times, in the sense of Bible prophecy, started for us in 1948, because many of the prophecies in the New Testament especially, could not be fulfilled until Israel was at home in her nation.

Let’s review the biblical prophecy about when and how the Israel of God comes home to her nation.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that 

  • the LORD shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left…and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth…

Lest anyone think the reference to “the LORD” can be interpreted to mean working through human agency the prophecy includes a specifically miraculous event requiring a Prophet like Moses. 

  • And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river…and make men go over dryshod. And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left…like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

None of that has happened. Instead, there has been a political movement which is unquestionably, how shall I put this? Anti Christ.

How can followers of the Christ see this scenario as evidence of God’s work??

God does not manipulate humanity into accomplishing his will! That’s what Satan does!

SECTION XXXVI: The Schizophrenic Church

A severe breakdown in God’s spiritual kingdom has occurred from Christianity’s impossible attempt to straddle the schizm – the split – between

  1. God’ call to reality-based personal holiness
  2. and politics’ call to compromising social acceptance.

In medical terms this is called Schizophrenia.

Wow! That’s harsh! But is it diagnostically accurate? Let’s conduct a psychiatric assessment.

220) Great Awakenings Actually Spirits Of Slumber

“God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears tht they should not hear;) unto this day.” (Romans 11:8)

Dissing the Great Awakening revivals is certainly trodding on Christian Fundamentalists’ holy ground. But how many American preachers recognize that they inflame war exactly like fundamentalist jihadist Imams?

To understand what is taking place today, we need to understand the nature of the recurring political-religious cycles called “Great Awakenings.”

Each lasted about 100 years and consist of three phases, each about a generation long.

  1. Technological advances outpace the existing ethical capacity to cope.
  2. Religious revival brings changes in church beliefs and practice.
  3. Political reform is effected by a coalition of church and state through shared commitment to improve society.
  4. With essential mass support through churches’ endorsement, the state expands though war.

Exactly like jihadist Imams.
