IMAGE OF THE BEAST


the beast

I think the beast is the government of man without consideration of God. President Obama´s limousine ¨the beast¨ is an explicit symbol for this Spiritual reality.

September 13, 1976, The Kansas City Times reported and recorded my visit to the city and the Republican National Convention. Part of the record is, ¨ and explained his own mission as ¨waging war against the beast¨ – the beast defined as government of man and tyrants.¨ This was long before  the President´s Limo, ¨the beast¨ was even conceived and now part of the time line and long before we could see the tyrants toppling like 10 pins in the Middle East.

From the Revolutionary Spirit of ’76 to the Revolutionary Spirit of ’11

This is not to suggest President Obama is an agent of the ¨dragon.¨ but then he could be and not even know it. It is written even the most elect could be deceived. Personally I believe he is trying to change ¨the system¨ from the inside as a prisoner of the White House, needing us for support and co-operation on the Streets. If he doesn’t get that public support and encouragement, he will be drawn deeper into the belly of the beast.

People make this more mystical than it is to avoid facing the reality and hard choices that lay before us. They cannot discern between the Spiritual and literal word.

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose dead
ly wound was healed.
And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
And deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
And he had power to give life to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the nam
e of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Revelation 13

ANOTHER beast came up out of the earth and had two horns like a lamb. The prevailing view in Christianity is “having horns like a lamb” means this power was not taken violently as in an armed revolution or a Palace coup. He came to power as a likeable, harmless, peace loving individual. The people supported this individual and he was put in power willingly as in a Democratic election.

“And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.”

In other words, his power is modelled on a power that was in the earth before him.

March 30, 1981:
President Ronald Wilson Reagan is shot in the chest outside the Washington Hilton Hotel. The president’s press secretary, James Brady, is also severely wounded, and Timothy McCarthy, a Secret Service agent, and Thomas Delahanty, a local police officer, are also shot. The assailant, John W. Hinckley, Jr., is seized at the scene. Confusion arises when Secretary of State Alexander Haig announces on television the he is “in control” while Vice President George Bush is flying back to Washington.

Ronald Wilson Reagan 666. As if there were not enough wars on earth, he ushered in Star Wars.

May 13, 1981:
Pope John Paul II is shot and seriously wounded as he rides in an open car through St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City. Two women tourists from the U.S. are also injured by bullets during the attack. The gunman is captured and identified as a 23-year-old Turkish terrorist.

“And he had power to give life to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”

What is the image of the beast? Money. It takes money in any buy/sell transaction. Money is the foremost thought in the minds of people. We know in this material world those Nations who do not fall in line in service to the Almighty American Dollar are attacked.

And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.

America is the only Nation to make fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men with the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

¨It is able to give life to this image so that it could speak.¨ Ever heard the expression, Money Talks? You cannot serve God and money at the same time. Either you will love one and hate the other or you will serve one and neglect the other.

Furthermore, in it says;

And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buys their merchandise any more.

Revelation 18:11

This describes the current global economic meltdown/Pearl Harbour-tsunami in the Fall of ’08.  We have not arrived at the end of it’s waves yet. Deficit financing cannot continue forever.

Governments are trying every way to stimulate people into buying merchandise. This is a futile attempt because this is a Spiritual problem not recognized or addressed as such yet.

From my view the world has arrived at the end of the 2600 economic/military/political Imperial Babylonian system of value for people and things as foretold in Scripture. For the first time since Daniel V, the whole world can see the Writing on the Wall.

On the Eve of the New Year of the Lord 2012, the President of The United States, with the stroke of a pen, repealed the Right of Habeus Corpus, the 1st protection for the peasants against the arbitrary whims of the Authorities they won in the Magna Carta of 1215. The news media should be ringing the alarm bells over this dangerous new reality but they are silent on the matter.

What the President did was give the US Military legal authority to grab anyone off the streets on suspicion only, and detain them indefinitely in some Gitmo type prison without any recourse to the Courts where the government would have to prove the substance and not just suspicions.

The effects of the Law will not be seen until Austerity everyone knows is on the way hits the streets. Then it will be too late!

THE INAUGURATION OF POLICE STATE USA 2012. Obama Signs the “National Defence Authorization Act “

You cannot serve two Masters. Either you will love one and hate the other or you will serve one and neglect the other. You cannot serve God and Money.

PROCLAIM LIBERTY THROUGHOUT ALL THE LAND


I am a Canadian.

Free to speak without fear.

Free to worship in my own way.

Free to stand for what I think right.

Free to oppose what I think wrong, and

Free to choose those who shall govern my country.

This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.

It was in the days of my youth in 1960, when Kennedy was President, the Prime Minister of Canada, John Diefenbaker, introduced this preamble to the Canadian Bill of Rights.

I am not always conscious of this ideal, but in retrospect, as I just turned 67, (now living my 80th year) I now realize it has been my internal auto pilot governing how I conduct myself, and how I deal with others.

I think this Canadian ideal of Liberty is totally consonant with America´s highest ideals.

I suppose that´s why Americans don´t know much about Canada, your closest neighbour and friend. We don´t cause you problems like the other countries you do know about do. Canada is your most secure source of oil in the world, and we haven´t rocked your boat, even with the Great Lakes between us. We have been at your side when it mattered.

The American Declaration of Independence from the bad, old ways things were done embodies the very same ideal contained in the opening paragraph:

´WE hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.´

What has this got to do with the American Liberty Bell and all it symbolizes? There is a big difference between espousing high ideals and practising what you preach. The Liberty Bell rings hollow in proclaiming Liberty throughout the land when the early wealth of a Nation is built on the backs and labour of slaves. That is why the crack is there.

I believe, as a Canadian and objective observer, President Obama is beginning the attempt to repair that crack between people. Obviously, being a prisoner of The White House, it is up to WE, The People, to actually do it, whatever is necessary.

I was upwardly mobile in the business world in 1975 when I experienced a Spiritual awakening as powerful and unexpected as the conversion of Saul on the road to Damascus.  At 30, I sold all my possessions, and with a back pack on my back, headed into the Unites States to discover the Spirit of ´76.

For part of that 14 month experience I spent time in Tempe,  at Arizona State University. I joined with the Cardinal Newman Centre, the just off Campus Roman Catholic church. The Centre itself was a new, one level, L shaped building, built around the old church well over 100 years old at the corner. It was unsafe to use for worship. but it had a BIG Bell in the Bell Tower. Every Day, someone was assigned to ring that Bell by a long rope about 4 inches thick in diameter.

The Priest would let me read the scriptures during services, but as often as I asked, he would not let me ring the Bell. One Day, to my great joy, the priest gave me the key to the old church and told me to ring the Bell and call the Faithful to Worship.

Being my first time in the old church, the Bell looked so high up in the tower as I grabbed hold of the long rope.

Starting slowly, I started to get into it and pulled the rope as I prayed to the Angel of the Bell.

With every fibre of my being, with all my vibrations, praying/thinking to the Angel, I thought, ¨Lord, let the sound of this Bell rise above the noise and the din of the city traffic. Let the sound of the Bell rise above all the petty hatreds, squabbles, conflicts, jealousies, crime and violence. Lord, let this Bell proclaim Liberty throughout all the Land!¨ I was really getting into it.

The priest came running over in a panic. His hands were covering his ears as he shouted,  “Stop it! Stop it! You´re ringing that Bell too loud.¨ They never let me ring the Bell again.

THE KING’S TERRIFYING NIGHTMARE


Long before Trump, and the great Political-Religious divide was recognizably growing in the US as Today’s events confirm, this was posted online February 26, 2011.

‘THE KING’S TERRIFYING NIGHTMARE.’

The polarization that is being entrenched in American society and Politics these days was foretold long ago in the Book of Daniel written during the captivity of Babylon 2600 years ago.

The King of Babylon had a terrible nightmare that left him shaken to the bone. Fear spread to everyone in his Court. He called in all his Cabinet Secretaries and Ministers, Advisers, Experts, Consultants and Academics to tell him the dream which he forgot.

No one could tell him what is was, and he ordered all the wise men in Babylon to be executed. He reasoned he could not have had such a terrible nightmare unless he was being given bad advice.

That same spirit showed itself again in Cambodia America was secretly bombing, during the Vietnam War.

Pol Pol came out of that vacuum the US bombing opened, and executed all the so called smart people, known as the Intelligentsia Today.

There is no mistaking in the US Today, a large segment of the Population display that anti-Intellectual spirit in it’s early stages.

Daniel, a Jew of the Captivity and recognized as being a “Dissolver of Doubts,” was able to get a stay of execution while he prayed to his God to have the dream revealed to him. It was.

What this World needs is more People like Daniel, Dissolvers of Doubts.

Daniel told the king,

You, O king, saw, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before you; and the form of it was terrible.

This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.

You, O king, are a king of kings: for the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.

And where ever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven has he given into your hand, and has made you ruler over them all.You are this head of gold.

AFTER you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things: and as iron that breaks all these, shall it break in pieces
and bruise.

And whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be DIVIDED; but there shall be in it of the STRENGTH OF IRON, inasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.

And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be PARTLY STRONG, and PARTLY BROKEN.

And whereas you saw iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
Daniel 2

No doubt the king was relieved, having all his doubts dissolved, and pleased in hearing this interpretation of a dream he did not remember.

daniel-2-image

In my view, the feet and toes of this vision describe The Un-United States, the latest face of Imperial Babylon-Imperial Rome, with the strong as iron military force bombing and breaking in pieces so many parts of the world, trying to subdue it, and the widening Republican/Democratic divide among the People.

This is exactly how Americans are behaving with each other and the world at this juncture of history

Ancient Biblical Babylon, now known as Iraq, was the world’s 1st Imperial Superpower 2600 years ago. This concept of an Imperial Superpower is carried over from the Old Testament to the Revelation of the New Testament to the end of days, the Un-United States being the latest, greatest of them all. The tail has struck the head. How great will be the crash of it?

While I take no pleasure in the thought, I see all the circumstances coming together in the near Future that will cause a stream of Americans to seek Refugee Status in CanaDa to escape American style, Home Grown Crazy Terrorism. There will be guns a plenty going off.

IF Americans don’t smarten up, and fast, ‘The American Dream’ will turn into The American Nightmare.

The Mass media have the greatest Power to set the Nation on the right Path. They have the unique Power to effect the thinking and feelings of MILLIONS of People at the same Time.

Most of us might be able to affect 1, 2, or 3 people in our immediate environment. We have no control over what others think.

There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

Mark 5; Matthew 15
