January 2009
Well, we made it through another year. Boy, what a year it was. I was a real jet-setter in 2008, having visited Florida twice, Mexico twice and New Mexico once. Lourdes and I became much closer and in 2008 we both decided to spend the rest of our lives together. We’ll talk more about that in the February Journal. In 2008 we lost a lot of loved ones. Lourdes’ sister passed away in December of 2007 and was followed three months later by her mother. It is our pleasure to report that both accepted Yeshua into their lives and found salvation before they went home. Lourdes lost two cousins in 2008 too and my stepfather went to be with Yeshua in August. In all of these things our prayers were answered, not only for salvation, but Lourdes sister, her mother and my stepdad all passed on with relatively no pain and they all went peacefully. We pray that all of us reading this Journal will be afforded the same grace by Yeshua when our time comes. In July Lourdes and I went to Roswell where I was honored to speak alongside Joe Jordan. We managed to tick off most of the secular UFO Researchers that spoke before and after us but we dropped the God-Bomb in Roswell, an event that had been long overdue. Many other wonderful things happened that we will talk about at another time.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN 2009
Wow, can you believe it, we’re talking about 2009. I don’t know about you, but I never thought I would live to 2009. At or around 1968 the movie, “2001, A Space Odyssey” hit the big screen. My dad took me to see it and I walked out of the theater with so many questions. I did the math and realized that I would be 42 years old in 2001 and back then that ripe old age seemed hardly attainable. Now it is eight years later and it seems almost surreal to be alive in the 21st Century. Well, since it is less than a month away I guess we can spill the beans. Lourdes and I will be married on January 10th and that day approaches at warp speed. This will be the civil wedding for us. Our pastor will marry us and we’ll probably honeymoon over at the coast. It will be a small ceremony with just close friends and family, and of course our church body. The Remnant Call meetings online have been wonderful. Right now we have a small group of visitors twice a week, but the talk has been wonderful and the ministry fantastic. If you’re interested then please contact either me at the Delusion Resistance or Jim Wilhelmsen at www.echoesofenoch.org . We plan on making this permanent and we hope that you all join. You can read more about this later on in the Journal. As we’ve mentioned a couple of times, we will not be going down to Roswell this coming July. To be frank, Yahweh has forbade us from going down there because He has some things that He wants to do down there and we’d be in His way if we went there. Those are the things that we know we will or will not be doing. I’m sure that there are many things that Yahweh has in store for us that will bless us and bless Him too. We’ll wake up every morning waiting for His call and His direction.
WE MAY GET TO STAKE OUR CLAIM
Lourdes and I were sitting in our weekly Bible Study the third week of December and lo and behold something hit me like a bolt out of the blue. Let me give a bit of a background before I continue. Jim Wilhelmsen and I talk a lot about many things. One of the things that we feel very sure of is that there are many people living in the United States and elsewhere who are descended from the ten lost tribes of Israel. Because of the scattering of those tribes their numbers settled all over the globe. In a past newsletter I showed how some tribes in West Africa claim to be descendants of the lost tribes, as do some peoples in India, China and many other places. Many people in Mexico have Jewish blood because their ancestors escaped from Spain at the beginning of the Inquisition in 1492. It is common knowledge that many Germans intermarried with Jewish men and women and their ancestors are Jewish. But what we are going to focus on in this article are those who come from the lost tribes of Israel; those whose ancestors were uprooted by the Assyrians many years before the Babylonians exiled the Tribe of Judah to Babylon. We know that when the Children of Israel entered Canaan after their forty years of wandering in the wilderness, each tribe was allotted a portion of land which Yahweh clearly labeled as an “inheritance.” Israel literally inherited the land from Yahweh Himself. It is pretty easy to find maps on the internet that show where each tribe finally settled. On the next page you will find such a map. While it is old in nature, it is an accurate depiction of where each tribe settled, who their Israeli neighbors were and who their goyim neighbors were as well.
Judah was one of the larger tribes, but they were only one tribe and there was a lot of land to inherit from Yahweh. As you can see in the map, there was quite a dispersion of the other tribes all over the land of Canaan. Before we move on in our study we need to examine where the inheritance of the Tribes of Israel first originated. We know from a previous study that the Land of Canaan was given to Abraham, a gift from Yahweh for Abraham’s faith and obedience. The inheritance was then passed down to Isaac and later to Jacob. We see that it is a perpetual inheritance. We could talk about this in our own strength, but when we back it up with evidence that comes from Scripture it cannot be argued against anymore. The scriptures that back up this point are as follows: Genesis, Chapter 13 shows that promise to Abraham:
A chapter or two earlier there was a dispute between Abraham’s herdsmen and Lot’s herdsman over water rights. Afterward, Abraham told Lot that he would give Lot first choice of whatever land Lot wanted for his herds. Lot chose the area around the Cities of The Plain, which we know to be Sodom, Gomorrah and other cities in that proximity. Abraham went to the west, would have placed him firmly in the land of what we now know to be present day Israel. He later moved to Hebron, which is south of Yerushalayim and west of the Dead Sea. We know that Abraham had two sons, Ishmael and Isaac. We also know that Abraham sent away Ishmael and his mother and kept Isaac to himself and that the inheritance therefore went to and through Isaac. This annuls any claim by anyone who might think that they are a descendant of Ishmael from claiming right to Eretz Israel.
If the promise of inheritance of the Land of Canaan to Abraham’s descend Jacob is true then we should find it in scripture, and we do:
The name “Israel” is an interesting one. There are a variety of meanings found when one searches, but the most common ones are, “Elohim will prevail,” and “Elohim Preserves.” I find this interesting because of all of the ancient peoples, Israel is the only nation that has survived a 400 year dispersion to Egypt, and then Judah, Israel’s son has survived a 70 year exile in Babylon and a 2000 year exile throughout the world, to be restored during our generation with their original language, religion and basic culture. But Elohim will also prevail in his inheritance gift to all of Israel and He has preserved that inheritance too. When the Children of Israel reached their Promised Land, after they had wandered in the wilderness for forty years they divided the land of Canaan according to the size of their tribes and as Yahweh had dictated to Joshua to allot it out to them. Yahweh was very specific about the boundaries of the tribal lands and was firm that each tribe was to settle into its own distinctive property. He was so specific about tribes not infringing on other tribes that He even made a stipulation about marriage and inheritance where the women were concerned.
So Yahweh was emphatic that each tribe have an allotment and that they live in their allotment. We have to consider however the exiles that happened in the years that followed. Israel had fallen into idolatry and because of their rebellion, and their refusal to listen to the warnings of Yahweh, they went into exile and were scattered amongst the nations. These were the Ten Northern Tribes of Israel. The two other tribes, Benjamin and Judah were in the south and were under the banner of Judah. Judah later fell into the sin of idolatry and they were ultimately conquered and exiled to Babylon only to return after seventy years in exile. Let me make a personal note before we move on. There is a perfect illustration in all of this in my own family. My grandfather had three sons and like every traditional family the oldest was held in high esteem, the middle son with a little less esteem and the youngest son, my dad, in the lowest of esteem. This might seem unfair, and in many ways it is, but as the things went, this is just the way that people used to do things, and it was done this way in the Bible many times too. Over the years my grandfather scrimped and saved his money and because of this he had some property and a good sized savings account in the bank. There were many times when my grandfather’s middle son would do something to lose favor with my grandfather and we would always hear how this uncle was not going to receive the inheritance that grandfather had allotted to my uncle upon grandfather’s death. There were other times when my dad did things that grandfather didn’t approve of and when he didn’t repent when my grandfather asked him to repent he too was removed from the inheritance. Over the years both my uncle and dad repented of what they did and their inheritance was restored. It is the same way with Yahweh concerning Israel and their inheritance. Scripture talks about a time when “all of Israel” will come back to the land, back to their inheritance.
And
Now we come to the crux of the problem. Back when the Romans started the exile of the Jews in 70 AD and finished their task in 135 AD they just took one (possibly two) tribes with them. The Hebrew word for Jew is Yehud which is a shortened form of Yehuda or the English rendition being Judah. The other ten tribes had been dispersed and were never again coalesced into tribes. They moved on and assimilated with the gentiles living all over the world. Therefore, the people who went into exile with the Romans were from Judah, and Judah (and perhaps some of Benjamin) only. For two thousand years they kept their culture and religion and suffered a great deal for failing to assimilate with the gentiles. They remained a separate and peculiar people. In the latter part of the 19th century they slowly started to immigrate back to what would later become Israel. I will not refer to it as Palestine because that name is an affront; being the Roman name for Philistine. During the early part of the 20th century the Ottoman Empire allowed some others to immigrate back to Eretz Yisrael but this practice slowed down when the British won the mandate to administer that area after defeating the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War One. After World War Two, and when the world saw the pictures and heard the stories that came out of the death camps of Nazi Germany there was sympathy for the Jewish People (Judah) to have a homeland. The rest is history that we all know pretty well. The problem is that those returning to Eretz Yisrael (The Land of Israel) were mostly from the Tribe of Judah and the other tribes were absent. Over the past 60 plus years Judah has administered the land, even the land that belongs to the other tribes. Technically, Judah has property rights to the land of Judah, and nothing more. There are many around the world that say that the Jews do not have a right to the land, and in a way they are partially right. Judah only has right to Judah. The other parts of what is now Israel (the land as it stood after the six day war) belong to the other ten tribes of Israel. Could it be that the reason why Judah has had such a hard time administering and keeping the land is because the other ten tribes haven’t been restored to their lands? Could it be that when the other ten tribes do come back to the land then the squabbling will come to an end, or greatly diminish? Another problem is that the Jewish nation of Israel has for many years had a very strict policy on who is allowed to immigrate. They have operated under the “who is a Jew” law, causing everyone who wants to immigrate to Israel to prove their Judaic heritage. This is a gross injustice to the other ten tribal progeny who really have no way of verifying their bloodline. They have no papers, no ancestral heritage to prove that they are sons of Israel. We’ve written another article about how it is possible that many of those who have come to faith in Yeshua are actually descendants from the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. The chances of that are pretty good and I’d bet money that this is a correct assertion. The article can be found on the Delusion Resistance Website and can be found by accessing the following link while you’re online: http://www.delusionresistance.org/christian/144k-israel.html . In the off chance that someone cannot access the internet and these files are obtained, the name of the article is: “And All of Israel Will Be Saved – The Ten Lost Tribes and Where You Might Fit In.” We know that Yahweh is not a liar, nor is He given to wild fantasies or speculations. Since He lives outside of space/time then He is able to know the future before it happens. Scripture is quite emphatic about this and there are many passages that tell of persons being planned out before the foundation of the world. We also know that when He says that “all of Israel will be saved,” He means all of Israel, or remnants of all of Israel, in a more refined sense of the meaning. Since Yahweh has promised several times that He will lead “Israel” back to their inheritance, and Israel in this sense means all of Israel, then many of us have that free ticket to Israel that we all dreamed about. So what could bring about that free ticket being a reality? It is simple to see. It will be a hatred of Bible believing Christians; those who won’t form to the mold that the world is trying to fit everyone into. Even while I type this article there are those who are labeling Christians as haters. Recently the people of California voted (a third time) to write the law so that it states that marriage is between a man and a woman. This proposition, which was backed by many Christian Churches, and even some of the cultic organizations like the Mormon’s. The result has been that the homosexual community has labeled Bible believing Christians as haters and some of them even went as far as to disrupt and vandalize a Mormon fellowship – while services were being performed. People who advocate abortion label Christians who oppose their evil ways as being haters, calling us anti-abortionist instead of giving us the title of pro-life, which is what we really are. But as you know, when you put “anti” in front of any word it gives a negative connotation. Even the celebration of our holidays has come under attack. Recently a 6th grade student in Mississippi obtained a lower grade for an essay because he mentioned the name of Jesus in his essay; the essay was about Christmas. He was told that the name of Jesus was too controversial. In some neighborhoods manger scenes are not allowed in the yards of private citizens because of complaints that such displays “force Christianity down our throats.” Yes it’s true that in the very near future Bible believing Christians, especially those who not only believe the Bible, but dare to live by its precepts will be labeled as haters, intolerant and nonconformists. We don’t see it beyond the realm of possibility that western society, especially here in the United States will develop a strong dislike, a rabid hatred for believers in Yeshua. History has shown that when these things start to happen, the society that hates the remnant first gives an opportunity for the nonconformists to leave the country. This practice has happened to the tribe of Judah for two thousand years, as they were kicked out of one country and then another. They were given a chance to assimilate and a scant few did, but the others who didn’t were expelled. Many nations in Europe have expelled the tribe of Judah at least once. Some examples of this are Spain in 1492 and more recently Germany in the 1930’s. Those who refused to leave, or had no financial means to do so suffered torture and death. If exile is destined for true believers in Yeshua, those who not only believe in Him but believe Him too and who live by His commandments, then how would the exile come about? We have already mentioned above that we will be branded as haters; people who will not bend to public pressure to be like the world. We will be seen as bigots who won’t accept sin and those who practice sin, primarily because the world doesn’t see sin as being wrong nor do they acknowledge sin to begin with. It isn’t going to be that we won’t try to bring sinners to repentance, because all true believers in Yeshua hate the sin but love the sinner. We are the ones who, while we love the homosexual and want them to be saved, won’t accept that they have a church with unrepentant homosexuals. Nor would we validate a church that caters unrepentant whoremongers, witches, Satanists or any other belief or creed that pits itself against scripture or the God of Scripture. We’ve mentioned before that Israel will be the place where we will go to our exile. But maybe we should not call it an exile, but a homecoming; what those in Israel call an Aliyah. So now we have the reason why we would have to leave our homes and leave the land of our birth. We also know where we will go; but what will be our route of escape. We would like to suggest that we might embark to our destination through our northern neighbor, Canada. Before you close this file or throw the papers in the garbage, hear us out. We’re not saying that Canada will be the only escape route, but it will play a major role in our exodus. It is quite possible that Mexico will be another route. We must also remember that in the very near future the North American continent will coalesce into a new entity which will be known at The North American Union. Plans for this have already been drafted and if you believe some of the reports that circulate, the coinage has already been minted. Look at how the once mighty U.S. dollar has lost a lot of value, so much so that it is equal to and sometimes less in value to the Canadian dollar. The financial crisis that has transpired over the last few months has hit Canada just as hard as it hit the U.S., but what many don’t know is that it has hit Mexico too. The bad economy has hit the migrant worker, so much so that they are returning to Mexico in droves. What many don’t realize is that many of those workers aren’t Mexican, but they come from all over Central and South America, but they are settling in Mexico for the interim. The future demise of the American auto industry along with the thievery that has occurred within the lending institutions will bankrupt both Canada and the United States. An overabundance of people in Mexico could easily bankrupt an already fragile economy and the Mexican government’s war on the drug cartels could easily send Mexico into chaos. These things, whether contrived or coincidental will play right into the hands of the globalists who want to form the N.A.U. on our continent. With three currencies debased it will be easy to form one currency. You tell the people that they accept the currency if they want to eat because the other three will no longer be honored and close to one hundred percent of the people will comply. The effort to bail out the lending institutions caused the U.S. government to ask the Federal Reserve to print more money for the lenders. Because of this, and because that Federal Reserve Notes have no real backing it means that the government went further in debt to the Federal Reserve. The Reserve has the right, and will someday demand to be paid for their years of printing worthless money and the only collateral is the United States itself. When the Reserve calls in its markers the government will have no other choice than to surrender the collateral, giving the Reserve the right to do with our nation whatever it wishes; even melding it with our northern and southern neighbors to make the N.A.U.; much to the consternation of all of us who have labored under the false assumption that we are free men. While the thought of the three nations becoming one continental entity bothers many, including myself, it will erase the borders and make it much easier for believers in Yeshua to flee the United States. Remember that the N.A.U. will mimic the European Union. Each of the three entities would in effect become a state, and just like travel between E.U. countries, and travel between states here in the U.S. is quite easy, so will travel between the three entities of the N.A.U. be a snap. So has any of this been verified in any way. The answer to that, as of the writing of this article in December of 2008, is, no. But because we know that Yahweh knows history before it happens, since He is the writer of history, then we can surmise that He would let some of us know, right? One way that Yahweh reveals things is through dreams and visions. He forecast in the Book of the prophet Joel that: And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions Joel 2:28 We know too that everything that Yahweh does He heralds through his prophets: Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. Amos 3:7 One such dream came to Jim Wilhelmsen where Yahweh tells us about the exodus, and what precipitates it: My Dream of an End Time America In the late 70’s during a time of fasting (about a ten day fast) I had a vivid dream about America. Now this was still at a time in history when we were still engaged in the cold war and Russia was our enemy. In this dream America was in a state of total chaos. It seemed like there was a collapse of the economy, marshal law imposed and various foreign troops on our land for different reasons. In this dream, a few friends and myself were traveling from property I owned up in northern Michigan that was out in the remote country. We were headed to the inner city of Detroit to trade food for medical supplies at a Christian ministry. On the way we ran into various groups. There were Russian troops that were someone to avoid but not the real danger. We also ran into UN troops that were composed of a multinational force. These were again, a group to avoid but not the real danger. As we entered the city many buildings were ransacked with broken windows and exposed to the weather, others burned out with very few that were opened for any kind of business. We had the feeling that we had to approach our destination with great caution. From a gutted out building on the second story, we watched the main street before entering the street where the ministry was located. It was like watching rats in an alley as people were randomly sneaking into some of the buildings and taking things for themselves. We saw the ministry building we were heading for and the contact person was just outside on the sidewalk in front waiting for us. Just when we were ready to leave our safe position and come out in the open on the street, we heard shots. In front of us were camouflaged military looking troops who had no national identity or patches of any kind. These we knew somehow were Americans but they did not act like anyone friendly. They were fierce in their cover move actions moving down the streets literally shooting at anything that moved. Our friend was cut down and so was anyone in their path. This group was the one to be feared and was the most dangerous group of them all and yet they were our own people! We then knew our only safe refuge was Canada that by leaving America, we would find safety and peace from this other group. Many had already gone that rout and then the scene changed. I then saw a bridge that was almost covered with water with thousands of Americans leaving the country into Canada on it. Then the scene turned back into the horrible urban scene and I knew that I was to stay here for a bit longer because I had something more to do before I left. I then woke up knowing this was a dream for the Lord but most of it did not make sense to me at the time. Since then almost thirty years later, I have come to understand the meaning of the dream. The message was personalized by my own imagination to create a scenario that probably will not happen in a literal sense but it was the vehicle by which the message could be understood. Dreams can be literal to every detail and others can be more of an abstraction of truth in a story form. Prayerful waiting on the Lord is the only way to know for sure what you are experiencing. What the Lord was telling me was this kind of situation would befall America. Canada was a refuge and safe haven for Christians fleeing the wrath in America. I felt the ultimate destination was Israel. The most important warning was the fact that in spite of all the real dangers that were on our soil from outside of America, the ultimate danger was going to come from within. This alone could be dismissed as a vivid dream, but Yahweh will always confirm His dreams, words and visions. One such verification came from a man who wrote to Jim years later and told him of a dream that he had. The man related that he had a dream that he remembered quite well. In the dream he saw a map of Canada and superimposed over the map he saw a “red cross” flag. The man got the impression during the dream that there was some sort of trouble in the United States and that Canada would be used to care for wounded people from the States. In light of the election results of November 04, there are some possibilities that might come into play that could bring about great strife in the United States. The worst case scenario would be that someone would try to bring harm to Barak Obama and this would ignite a race war that would pit American against American. Of course the enemies of this nation would see that as a signal to attack us. The White Supremacists and the Black Supremacists would be embroiled in conflict in just about every large town and village and since most of our military forces are overseas, our government would call in United Nations troops to quell the civil war. I know that it seems from the things that have been written here and in many of the articles of our website that the reader could think that we are pompous or high-minded where our opinions of the United States and prophecy are concerned. We do not make any assertion that our nation is better than any other nation. No! As a matter of fact we lean toward the notion that the United States could possibly be the physical extension of the Babylon that is supposed to reemerge before the end of all things. We’re quite concerned for our nation and of course the fate of believers all across our land. One thought must remain in all of our minds. Of all of the nations on Earth, up until this writing the U.S. has remained the only staunch ally of Israel. Even though our military has been weakened and the brunt of our fighting forces are in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo and everywhere but at home, we are still a formidable force to be reckoned with. If however the monetary crisis worsens, natural disasters grow in number or severity, and we are embroiled in a civil war we would not be able to defend Israel. It is quite conceivable that this would precipitate the Ezekiel 38 and 39 events. Although we have touched on some scenarios in this article, the main premise is that there are many descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, and we have been given a perpetual inheritance from Yahweh to possess our tribal lands. Persecutions of Christians here and abroad could lead to the biggest exodus in the history of the planet. Yahweh promised Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that their descendants would number like the sands of the sea and the stars of heaven. The descendants of Judah over the past 2500 years have produced millions of people. Imagine how many people are descended from the Ten Lost Tribes. If you don’t know which tribe you belong to, don’t worry because Yahweh knows, and He will settle you right where you belong.
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON?
I think that all of us who are involved in ministry have been watching as current events have been unfolding in front of our eyes. Perhaps it is because of these things, or perhaps it is the Ruach Ha Kodesh showing us, but I know that I can speak only for Lourdes and myself when I say that there is a lot of apprehension in the air. Without really saying anything in our ears or even through dreams or visions regarding the current world situation, we feel a collective anxiety about what is coming upon the world. There is a certain insanity that has been gripping people all over this land. It is almost as if we’re sitting at a temperature gauge for a steam boiler and we are watching the gauge needle move into the red zone and there is nothing we can do to stop the boiler from exploding. While this could cause people without faith to worry and fear; those of us with faith in Yeshua look at these things and when we see them we get a certain expectation that Adonai is coming back soon. A quote is often spoken which says that “one man’s garbage is another man’s treasure,” and that is so true with believers in Yeshua. What the world sees as hopelessness Yahweh sees as opportunity. Whatever trial that we experience, whatever woe that we lament over or whatever evil that comes against us we should do as Paul said and count it all joy. Recently a friend on MySpace posted an article that they found on a website that is called “Last Trumpet Ministries.” The link to that website is at the end of the following article. Reading what David J. Meyer wrote pretty well sums up the national anxiety that we have all been feeling. We’re in for a rough ride, but like Yeshua said, “he who endures to the end will be saved.” With that I now present the article by David J. Meyer: AMERICA – A NATION UNPREPARED
In this issue of the Last Trumpet Newsletter, we will look with spiritual eyes at an amazing sight. The once great United States of America has become a nation in desperate trouble, not only among all the other nations but also with Almighty God. Gross sin, graft, corruption, deception, and every form of evil have taken root in every enterprise and endeavor, and there is no soundness left in the institutions of government, banking, commerce, education, and religion. We are a nation totally unprepared for the future, including the ambiguous change promised by Barack Hussein Obama. More urgently, this nation is totally unprepared to meet Almighty God, who will soon come forth with final judgment! There was a time, not that long ago, when the United States of America was the crown jewel of the world. Immediately after World War II, the United States contained only six percent of the world's population, but controlled eighty-five percent of the world's wealth! What happened? How could a nation that had become so great fall to the depths of poverty and bankruptcy that it is now in? The answer is simple: evil and conspiratorial forces in high places wanted it to happen and gained the power to make it happen. We must remember the words of the late President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, an illuminist and 32nd degree Freemason, who said, "If it happens, you can bet that we planned it that way." The ultimate objective of the conspirators is one-world government, which is only possible with a one-world money system. The current money systems of the world, especially the economy of the United States, must be sabotaged to supply the excuse to implement a new economic system of cashless, computerized commerce and exchange. Meanwhile, wars and commotions continue to reshape the international order while people are held in check by fear of terrorism and dare not raise a voice against the prevailing powers of satanic governance, which oversees the entire operation. Our current conditions are not by accident, nor are they by chance! None of the above is a surprise to Almighty God. He foretold this through many of His prophets long ago. The powers of antichrist are hard and fast at work to bring forth the mark of the beast, which will demand total subservience to Satan himself. This is the change that Barack Hussein Obama is talking about, and it is nigh upon us. Large numbers of people are now throwing their hands up and saying what can I do? There is something you can and must do! First of all, if you do not personally know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour, surrender you life to Him now in sincere prayer. He will hear you and prepare your heart to meet Him when He returns to this earth. Do it now before it is too late! Then, watch and pray and be vocal to others about what is happening, why it is happening, and what is soon to come! Even if only one person speaks out and declares the truth, then that thought lives. God will bless you and you will become very close to the Lord Jesus Christ! Obama's New Age of Aquarius! On January 20th, 2009, an event is scheduled to take place which the Wall Street Journal is calling "Washington's Woodstock." The original Woodstock was the infamous rock concert that took place over three decades ago with its wild orgies, drugs, marijuana, and numerous rock bands. Now, the inauguration of Barack Obama is being given the same name because of the countless rock stars and Hollywood celebrities that are planning to be there. Night clubs are setting up tents to expand their capacity for the wild revelers. (1) The city of Washington, D.C., is also making a special allowance and waiving the laws regarding closing times for sin businesses. Nightclubs, bars, strip joints, and other such evil establishments will be allowed to operate all night until 5:00 A.M. for the Obama occasion. (2) In addition to all of that and just in time for the inaugural rock fest, the Vatican issued a full and official forgiveness to the late John Lennon, the member of the Beatles who publicly declared, "The Beatles are more famous than Jesus Christ." That statement was made by Lennon in 1966, and now, forty-two years later, the Vatican decided to condone the declaration. (3) The inauguration takes place on a day that is of vital importance in the world of witchcraft and occultism. Astrology is the time clock of Satan and his kingdom of demons, and it is impossible to practice witchcraft without it. January 20th, the day when Obama moves into his position of power, is the very day when the sun moves into the sign of Aquarius, the 11th sign of the zodiac. The hit song called "Aquarius" by the Fifth Dimension told the entire story of the day that would come that would bring change for a thousand years. Adolph Hitler also claimed that the Third Reich would last for a thousand years. Officially, it lasted only thirteen years and ended on the eve of Beltaine, the druid witches' New Year sabat. We must also bear in mind that the word inaugurate comes from the ancient Latin language of the old Roman Empire. In ancient Rome there were soothsayers called augurs who were invested with evil spirits and could supposedly declare the future. From the word augur came the word inaugurate, which literally means to take omens. In European nations the monarchs and heads of nations were always crowned by some kind of religious leader such as the Pope, a Cardinal, the Archbishop of Canterbury, or another religious official. That way, the impression was given that none would dare question the authority of the "crowned one", because the crown was placed by a supposed representative of God. Obama has chosen his so-called "holy man" to do the job. It is the immensely popular Rick Warren, the pastor of a mega church and author of the book A Purpose-Driven Life. Warren is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, which is the Illuminati in the United States. Warren also admitted in an interview that he loves hard rock music. Although Warren claims to be "anti-gay" and "pro-life", it is all a front because Obama is very pro-gay rights and pro-abortion. Why would Warren support him if he had true convictions on these issues? This is the man who was handpicked by Obama to be the officiating "holy man" as he takes omens and heads for the Oval Office! Are our elected officials truly prepared to lead? I wonder how many of them have ever read the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States. I wonder how many of them can name at least half of the signers of the Declaration of Independence from memory. Here let it be noted that a test of thirty-three questions related to civic knowledge was given to our elected officials by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. The questions were regarding how the government works. The average score of our high officials was 44 percent, which is a solid "F." Dr. Josiah Bunting of the National Civil Literacy Board at ISI made the following comment, "How can political leaders make informed decisions if they don't understand the American experience?" (4) President-elect Barack Obama rose to power within the Chicago political machine, which is known to work with the corrupt underworld crime elements. The Chicago politicians are notorious for being as crooked as a barrel of fishhooks. The current intrigue with Illinois Governor Blagojevich is one example of the environment from which Obama came. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan asked the high court to declare the Governor unfit. (5) Very soon we will see that the governance of Obama is even more deranged and evil! Obama declared that he had no contact with the Illinois governor, but it has now been proven that he used his chosen White House chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, to interact with the governor. (6) We must also note that Obama reportedly went to three intense counseling sessions with New Hampshire Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson. Robinson is an outspoken flaming red-hot homosexual. (7) On December 1st, 2008, Barack Obama announced that he has nominated his choice for Secretary of State to also be one of the heads of his National Security Team. (8) Hillary Clinton will help to oversee the new Gestapo, which will enforce compliance to Obama's directives. What is left of privacy is soon to be a thing of the past as the new National Security Team, involving many thousands of new government security agents, are everywhere. As a back up to the NST, the Pentagon is planning to have 20,000 troops .. alert to police the civilian population of the United States. (9) Hillary Clinton is soon to hold the powerful office of Secretary of State of the United States of America. This is the woman who admitted that she held séances in the White House solarium with the mystic Jean Houston and would speak to famous dead people such as Eleanor Roosevelt. (10) I have no doubt that Hillary Clinton is a witch of the first magnitude at least to the fourth level of Wicca. On December 3rd, 2008, the Washington Post reported that Barack Obama has sent out "teams of ten," wearing yellow badges, to swarm into government offices uninvited. These teams are seizing upon records and vital information from the Pentagon to the National Council on Disability. (11) It appears that this aggressive action is similar to the violent takeover so common in Communist countries. When Barack Obama went to Berlin, Germany, to address the German people during his campaign, it was no accident, but rather by design that he stood at the monument in the center of the Tiergarten and lifted his arm in a Hitler-like salute. Just below this Tiergarten is a vast network of tunnels that were built for Hitler by the architect Albert Speer. (12) Hitler had plans to declare Berlin as the "Capital of the World", and the spot where Obama made his speech marked the place that represented underground or clandestine world dictatorship in a new world order; three words often used by Adolph Hitler. Berlin, Germany, had another attraction for Barack Obama. During the 1880's, German archaeologists were in the ancient city of Pergamos where they found the massive altar of Zeus. They offered to buy the altar from the Ottoman Moslem rulers, and upon purchasing it, they moved the structure to Berlin where it was fully restored. It now resides in a museum in Berlin, Germany. This altar of Zeus is the very seat of Satan! In Revelation 2:12-13, we read as follows: "And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth." These words were written to the early Christians of Pergamos and were spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ. Incidentally, Antipas was a true martyr back in those days, but his name carries a great prophetic significance. The name Antipas is a contacted form of anti-papas, or those who oppose the Pope or papal rule. When Barack Obama visited Berlin, Germany, he no doubt visited the altar of Zeus, or Satan's seat, because he designed a replica of this altar and seat of Satan from which he made his rousing speech launching his Democratic candidacy. Remember the strange columns he stood in front of? They were made of staging materials and Styrofoam, but the design and effect were still there. It was the altar of Zeus and seat of Satan. On November 27th, 2008, Barack Obama was asked the question regarding the vision for change and where the change would be. Obama quickly stated, "I am the change, the change comes from me." (13) We are made to wonder who this strange one is, and what is his real agenda? According to Islamic tradition, there was an Islamic Imam who was the Prophet Mohammed's cousin and son-in-law. His name was Ali Ibn Abi-Talib. This man gave the following prophecy: "At the end of times, and just before the return of the Mahdi, a tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West; commanding the strongest army on earth. The new ruler in the West will carry a clear sign from the third Imam, whose name was Hussein Ibn Ali ." (14) Strangely enough, the name Obama in the Persian language means "He is with us." With all of this in mind, my attention was jolted by an article featured in the Baltimore Sun newspaper on November 30th, 2008, with the following headline: "Codes for Armageddon: A New President to Hold Nuclear Launch 'Football.'" The article told of an event which is to take place immediately after the inauguration of Obama, scheduled for January 20th, 2009. George W. Bush, along with a military officer, will accompany Barack Hussein Obama to the White House. In the White House, a small leather-bound metal briefcase known as the "football" will be handed to Obama. Inside the briefcase, according to the article, are "the codes to identify and authenticate a presidential order that could launch nuclear weapons and ignite a global holocaust." (15) What is awaiting the new commander-in-chief? Only God knows exactly how long it will be until the final prophecies are fulfilled and this present world ends. Bible prophecy is being fulfilled every day. We have been and are being warned. We are also commanded to watch and pray! The Economic Blood of the Beast! It has been said that "money is the lifeblood of a nation." If we follow through with that analogy, we can say that in a global economy, he who controls the money controls the world. We know from Revelation 13:11-18 that the second beast brings forth the final economy, and it is universally imposed upon all the people in the world. Verse 17 of that chapter clearly states the following: "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." In order for this to happen, all the economies of the world must merge into one. To make that happen, the present economies must be brought into deep trouble and crumble in order to induce the people of the world to accept the new system. This new world money system will be the very lifeblood of the beast government of Antichrist. Is it really happening? On December 1st, 2008, the London Daily Telegraph featured a headline story entitled "World Stability Hangs by a Thread as Economies Continue to Unravel." The story tells of worldwide collapse as economies everywhere on earth are in deep trouble. The writer described the once strong economies of the nations as being like stars that have fallen to the earth. It also states that in America, U.S. Treasury bills, the safe haven for money, have fallen to a 0.02 percent yield. This yield is less than zero after costs. (16) This means that people are giving their money to the government for nothing in return and are asking only that the government will promise to give it back. On November 9th, 2008, Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown made a stunning speech at the Lord Mayor's banquet in London. In the speech, Brown said, "Now is the time to build a global society." He also said, "Britain, the United States, and Europe are key to forging a new world order." (17) Truly, the ten-horned beast of Revelation, chapter 13, is rapidly rising. Gordon Brown and others of his ilk are also secretly pushing to have Britain join the euro currency community, which would be the demise of the British pound. The euro community is fully expecting this to happen. (18) In the United States, conditions are rapidly deteriorating. Jim Rogers, one of the world's most prominent international investors, declared that most big U.S. banks are totally bankrupt. Rogers, who is a commodities expert, has recently exited dollar-dominated assets. (19) We know that nearly two years ago, the Federal Government began to refuse to publish or disclose the M-3 index, which tells us the total money supply. Now the Federal Reserve refuses to disclose the recipients of two trillion dollars in emergency loans. (20) We must remember that the Federal Government often uses the word "loans" to describe its hand-out money, but there is no expectation of repayment. If recipients are already in trouble to the tune of many billions of dollars, how will they ever get so far ahead of the break-even point that they would be able to repay the government? It is like loaning money to hobos on the street. With all of the bailouts, obligations, and commitments considered, the Federal Government is now in hock for over five trillion dollars! (21) This is more than the entire cost for all of World War II, which was just over four trillion dollars, if costs are adjusted for inflation. (22) In addition to that, the numbers keep going up. On November 24th, 2008, Bloomberg News Service reported that the pledges of the United States to ease frozen credit have now topped 7.7 trillion dollars. (23) This vast amount is equal to approximately two-thirds of our existing national debt. We are living in a time when almost every bank, institution, corporation, and even state and city governments are crying for a bailout! How do you bail out a sinking ship that is this large? Where is the money to come from? The state of California has declared that they will be out of money by February 2009 and will be in a 15 billion dollar hole! (24) The state of New York is also broke, according to Governor David Paterson, who has brought forth a plan to impose eighty-eight new taxes and fees on New Yorkers. There will also be layoffs of state workers and a notable reduction in services. (25) The United States Treasury continues to bail out our largest banks, and they are still in trouble. Twenty-one mega-banks received 33.56 billion dollars recently. The Federal Government is actually buying into these banks as part owners. (26) Eventually, the government will own everything, including all banks, industry, airlines, and so on. I can say that in twenty-eight years of watching, praying, and researching, I have never seen conditions as desperate as they are right now. The giant Bank of America Corp. announced on December 12th, 2008, that they are eliminating 35,000 jobs. (27) The massive Citigroup Bank announced the elimination of 53,000 jobs, and even though they are down-sizing by 20 percent, they remain in deep trouble. (28) Clients of Citigroup recently became very anxious when they could not access account information or only portions of information. The banks gave the excuse that the computers were down and they didn't know why! (29) This went on for days and may not yet be resolved! On November 26th, 2008, the FDIC added another fifty-four banks to its "problem list." (30) Meanwhile, the working men and women of our nation are losing their jobs at a rapid rate. There are now ten million people out of work with little hope of obtaining a new job. (31) On November 23rd, 2008, President-elect Barack Obama warned that millions more jobs will be lost in the year 2009. One of his biggest concerns about the economy was the falling price spiral. (32) Here let it be noted that one of the primary characteristics of a depression is that prices drop very low, but people don't have the money to buy anything. This condition is now developing at breakneck speed. The next meltdown is expected to be a mortgage crisis in commercial properties. Watch for stores, businesses, and shopping malls to close their doors for good. (33) The Detroit "big three" automakers have occupied the news lately when the U.S Congress refused to bail them out. The automakers began to cry out that their survival was a national security issue, (34) so President Bush arranged for General Motors and Chrysler to receive bailout money from the funds Congress designated for banks a few months ago. How poorly are these companies managed? When the union was asked to accept a cut in pay for the workers, it was proven that even if every auto worker would work for no pay at all, the companies still couldn't make it. This was reported on CNN News on December 10th, 2008. We must also remember that two-thirds of all U.S. corporations pay no federal taxes at all! (35) Top executives have paid themselves so many hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses, and it's all at the expense of the American people. The executives have grabbed all the money they could and went running for the tall grass. When we think of such thieves as Jesse James, Bonny and Clyde, John Dillinger, and others, we must think of them as petty thieves compared to the business executives of America and their willing stooges in Washington who perform like trained seals for them! There are numerous reports about these "distressed" executives by the hundreds partying at some of the most expensive night clubs in New York. They are seen swilling martinis and banqueting like there is no tomorrow. (36) What is all of this leading up to? A prominent Russian professor recently predicted that once the ultimate crash occurs in the United States, the nation will fracture into six parts. Dr. Igor Panarin named the six divisions as follows: "the Pacific coast, the South, Texas, the Atlantic coast, the central states, and the northern states." He also stated that each area will be dominated by a different ethnic group. (37) Will it really happen? Only God knows for sure because He has the final say on all things! Marshalling the Forces for World War III There are so many signs of the times, and our world is rapidly approaching World War III, also known as Armageddon. Barack Obama has been warned of a nuclear Iran, and the entire Middle East is ready to explode into war. (38) Russian warships are now in Venezuela doing naval war exercises with the Venezuelan Navy. (39) President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela has ordered the U.S. ambassador out of his country. (40) This is customary just before a war. The oil-rich country of Venezuela is also purchasing combat planes from Red China. (41) We also know that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev recently visited Venezuela and then Cuba. (42) On December 4th, 2008, a Russian warship was headed for the Panama Canal, (43) and more Russian warships were headed for Cuba. (44) Quite obviously, something is going on that will soon manifest itself. Is Barack Obama ready for all of this? There will be much more on this subject in the February issue of the Last Trumpet. The Voice of God's Creation! The Bible warns us of great signs that would take place in God's creation as the end of the world draws near. In Luke 21:10-11 we read of these as follows: "Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven." We are certainly living during the time of these signs! As of the time of this writing, there have been 249 significant earthquakes worldwide within the past thirty days. These quakes are at least magnitude 4 in strength. The news media says very little about this subject. As the Scripture says, there are many fearful sights, and they come in many forms. The United States of America is now going through one of the strangest and most intense winters of all time. Freak storms have left significant snow amounts in places like Texas; Las Vegas, Nevada; and even Malibu, California. Intense ice storms have left millions of people without power, and temperatures were as cold as thirty degrees below zero, Fahrenheit, in some parts of the country. Blizzards of heavy snow have crippled much of the country, and winds in excess of forty miles per hour have caused snow drifts to block major highways. It seems that our entire nation has already experienced the hardships of a severe winter, and at the time of this writing, winter has not even officially begun. From Washington to New York, extreme winter weather has hammered our nation. (45) Conditions are not normal. There is also trouble in the heavens above, just as the Bible said there would be. On November 26th, 2008, AFP News Service reported that experts are calling for a global network to prevent asteroid disasters. The Association of Space Explorers presented a report to the United Nations on November 25th, 2008, entitled, "Asteroid Threats, a Call for Global Response." The report indicated that there are now over 6,000 cosmic objects circulating around our planet, and 1,000 of these have a diameter of 93 miles or more. If even one of these hit the earth, it would bring catastrophic damage, such as fires and tsunamis. (46) When I read this, I was reminded of Revelation 6:13-14, which reads as follows: "And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places." Scientists are also baffled because the heliosphere, the protective shield of energy that surrounds our solar system, has weakened by 25 percent over the past ten years. Thus, the sun's protective bubble of solar wind is greatly diminished, and this leaves the earth vulnerable to intense stellar radiation. (47) Indeed, our Lord is coming! In conclusion, I would like to urge everyone to pray fervently and continually. Your prayer requests are always welcomed and we do take them very seriously. I also sincerely thank all of you who continue to support this end time prophetic ministry. God bless you exceedingly is my prayer. Grace and peace be multiplied unto you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Always remember that there is a God in heaven who hears you when you call upon Him. He will answer your prayers. David J. Meyer
Acknowledgements http://lasttrumpetministries.org Well, we hope that you have found the article to be enlightening. Usually when I receive something like this I read it and dissect it with a very sharp scalpel. As I read the article I just said things like, yup, uh huh, and “that’s right.” Put into simple terms, our nation has been bad and now we’re in for some good old fashioned punishment. The outcome for each and every one of us depends on how we are walking with Yeshua. The weak will fall aside for sure. But what about the strong? Well, it is important that each of us think about our walk with Yeshua, especially if we think that we have our act together with Yeshua. We pray that each of us seek out Yeshua in this and that we humbly and contritely wait for his answer, and that we except the answer, even if He tells us that we’re a mess and need a lot of work. It is time for many people to get serious with Yeshua because in the days to come, He will be all that we will have to cling to; and both Lourdes and I want to have a firm hold of His hand. We pray that we all have just that, a firm grip. Blessings in Yahweh Yeshua!!
YOU ARE INVITED TO THE REMNANT CALL
I know that we mentioned it in the prior Journal, but I just have to invite all of you to the Remnant Call chatroom that we share with Jim Wilhelmsen. The meetings have been spectacular and we’ve been talking about a lot of things. The only thing that we’ve missed is all of you. As things in this world are spiraling out of control and we head toward the last days it is important that the remnant come together in fellowship and learning. One of the major things that we mention in our meetings and in our statement is that those who attend the Remnant Call meetings remain in their churches. Our premise is that when things do fall apart in this world, and when the deception becomes so strong that the church is overwhelmed, that there will be people who can show the church the truth about the deceptions and aid in bringing understanding to people who will be at wits end. It’s been pretty interesting too, in that we have people popping in from time to time who are opposed to the truth and we get to minister to them, and we let them hang around as long as they aren’t disruptive. We’ve had Jew haters and Christian haters come to the room as well as those who call themselves Christians but who don’t adhere to basic Christian doctrine and of course they try to get out of hand, but we have the ability to shut them off so that they can’t bother us anymore. Our goal is to someday have the funds available to have a large private room where only those invited, or those who earnestly seek fellowship will come to the room, and Yahweh willing, someday that will happen.
REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL HELP
Well, I think that we’ve all felt the financial crunch that everyone else has felt. Looking at the way that things are, it seems that only Yahweh’s people seem to be fiscally responsible. Banks have closed down, stores are out of business and real estate here in California has dropped by at least fifty percent. There is no question that we’re in not so good times. These times have also affected the Delusion Resistance. While I am still blessed with employment it seems that the prices of things have gone way up. Being married now makes it so that the paycheck now feeds and clothes two people instead of the one that it clothed before. Things are way on the tight side. Some would suggest that we place advertisements on our website but I’ve always had a problem with that. I see that to being akin to placing advertisements in the sanctuary of the local church. To us, that just seems to be a bit tacky. I think of the money changers in front of the Temple who incited Yeshua into taking a cord and driving them out of the temple area. While some might think it okay to place ads for hotel rooms, plane flights and other things; we just cannot bring ourselves into the mode of doing such things. The Delusion Resistance and the AACCOA have always been supported by the finances that Yahweh has blessed us with from my work pay and such. However, this year it will be a tough squeeze to keep the ministry afloat. We know that no matter what happens, Yahweh is in this ministry and we are of Yahweh and that we will continue. We do ask though that if you have been blessed financially and if you have been praying for somewhere to funnel a little bit of money for ministry purposes, that you pray about and consider helping out for the yearly fee at the web host where the Delusion Resistance resides upon. The bill is $167.00 for a year’s service and is due around the 21st of January. We trust Yahweh for his provision and we know that He will provide. So that we can remain in full fidelity to our membership, we have to state that this ministry is not a 501c3 organization so any donations are not tax deductible. Thanks for your consideration and may Yahweh bless you richly!!
THE END – FINALLY
Well, we know that some folks think that the newsletters are long winded and perhaps some people never read to the end, so if you have made it this far we applaud you. I will say however that reading them is a lot faster than typing them, so if anyone thinks they’re too long just remember that you get the better part of the deal…lol. We pray that the remainder of January is a blessing for all of you and that you receive from the bountiful Ruach Ha Kodesh blessings that Yahweh has stored up for you, and that you will continue to be a blessing to Yahweh Yeshua, as you keep His commandments and all of His words.
