An Assessment of Attitudes and Actions :: by Gene Lawley

There has never been a time in the 240 years of our nation like this time. We are now at a turning point where an election will drastically decide the future of the nation. The shroud of secrecy surrounding the reality of a planned New World Order is remarkably denied, either from ignorance of the fact or knowingly and intentionally hiding the truth.

Just recently I responded to an article by a guest columnist in our local paper, questioning his utter uselessness for Donald Trump when a vote for Hillary Clinton is most certainly a vote for a New World Order. He sent back this response: “New World Order? Just grow up!” So I sent him this link to a video that shows many well-known and high level national and international figures promoting just that and with great expectation. [1]

So was that writer belittling me as an ignorant jerk from the backwoods, totally out of touch with reality, or was he pointedly denying the truth that is swirling around in the undercurrent with great intensity at this point in time?

The memoirs of David Rockefeller, who has been a leading banker in the scheme of controlling America’s money system for international interests, reveal a very open and defiant, even, admission. First published in 2002, he admits this:

“For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents …to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure–one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.” ―David Rockefeller, Memoirs

Another of the Rockefeller family makes this astounding admission in an interview:

“The end goal is to get everybody chipped, to control the whole society, to have the bankers and the elite people control the world.” —Nick Rockefeller [Aaron Russo interview]

That one smacks of the “mark of the beast,” coming right out of the despised and rejected Word of God! Other similar quotes can be found easily on the internet. [2]

Thus, we come to this assessment of attitudes and actions that have accumulated over the decades of many generations.

First, let’s recognize something that the writer mentioned above is not aware of and cannot comprehend, considering his attitude that defines the unreality of his world. It is this: There is a God in heaven, Sovereign of the universe, and He has set apart over these centuries a people called by His name. These people have insight into the spiritual realm where knowledge of the future is told in Bible prophecy. It was so promised:

“Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7).

Those secrets are revealed in the Holy Scriptures and are available for those who would search them out. One of these truths that bears upon this discussion is in 1 Thessalonians 5:4, where Paul writes that believers who are in touch with the Lord will not be surprised as events having to do with the Day of the Lord unfold:

“But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.”

If it turns out that some believers are “taken by surprise” when the Lord comes to take away those whom He has bought with the price of His own blood, at least they will have been “taken,” so how can you lose by turning your life over to Him?

There is another Scripture that is a New Testament parallel to the promise quoted from Amos above:

“However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come” (John 16:13).

In consideration of attitudes and actions, let’s go back for almost two hundred years when Nathan Rothschild reportedly declared, “Give me control of a nation’s money supply, and I will not care what its laws are!” The Rothschild dynasty has laid in place a regime for international finance that now envelopes the whole world.

The Federal Reserve System, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Bank of International Settlements—all designed, in my opinion, to interrelate and coordinate an international money supply.

The Federal Reserve System is neither federal nor a reserve—it is not owned by the United States, but by private, international bankers; it is not a reserve where actual funds—wealth—are held as backup for currency in circulation. Notice the five dollar bill in your wallet—it is identified as a Federal Reserve Note and is legal tender for all debts, public and private.

Paul Warburg, (1868-1932) was a Jewish German-born American banker, and an early advocate of the U.S. Federal Reserve System. He and two others of the Rothschild dynasty were each, at the same time, heads of national finance in the United States, Brittan and Germany. You can bet that there were more international financial schemes than there were of independent national interests.

Warburg is said to have declared at one time, “Whether you like it or not, you are going to get a New World Order!” Looks like the idea never ever fell through the cracks, as my news respondent tried to get across. So I point you, again, to that link at the end of the article. [1]

Over a century ago, in 1913, President Woodrow Wilson made this observation:

Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.

That a fear of reprisal existed in those days indicates the deadly intent of the perpetrators of plans to rule the nation without regard to the cost, even of human life. Even more awesome is the magnitude of unanswered questions regarding the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963.

The very clearly fraudulent and corrupt Warren Commission investigation with its “conclusive” crooked bullet theory belies all common sense and demands that we totally discard reality in favor of protecting the perpetrators and their reasons why.

When President Kennedy authorized the Treasury to issue certain bills as U.S. Treasury notes, he actually signed his death warrant, for he violated the tight-fisted control of the nation’s money supply by the Federal Reserve and its ability to create our national debt. Kennedy’s currency was called “silver certificates,” backed by the U.S. Treasury. You may recall them, but they were quietly taken out of circulation during those years after his death.

That Executive Order is still on the books, I understand, but it lies dormant, and for good reason. (Does the memory of Abraham Lincoln and his Treasury-issued “green-back dollars” also bring to mind some unanswered questions as well?)

Eleven days before his assassination, President Kennedy made a speech that, as the tag shows on the video, probably cost him his life as well because he was very forthright in his plan to expose the hidden secrets of the shadowy agenda of the New World Order proponents. Certainly this, with the silver certificates, would have been enough to trigger that fateful event. [3] That was early in November, 1963, and on November 22, JFK became history.

In order to have a New World Order and its intended offspring, a one-world government, no nation can retain its individual sovereignty. When Barack Obama campaigned for the presidency in 2008, his cry of appeal was, “Come join me in fundamentally transforming America forever!” [4]

Along with the backdrop the thought of having “the first black president” and “change” and a good amount of behind the scenes maneuvering and intrigue, many voters were drawn to him, for two terms. After his 2008 win Henry Kissinger, an assumed conservative, lauded his arrival with the exclamation, “He has been primed to lead us into a New World Order!” That video has been removed, but others indicate that same sentiment. [5]

No one was allowed to properly vet him; his background was kept secret, even at great legal expense to insure that details of his life were not open to the public. The mainline media has made sure that any attempt at revealing his true background is met with contempt and disdain, even public ridicule.

Yet, Obama stated in his campaign that his administration would be more transparent than any other ever had been. He also blasted the former President George W. Bush that it was treasonous to have allowed the national debt to reach $9 Trillion, then managed to more than double it in his two terms.

Now, a nation that once maintained an annual Gross National Product (GNP) growth rate of three to four per cent, sees the rate at barely one percent. Its military is depleted, its unemployment, if truthfully told, over ten percent, and much higher among some segments of the population.

Truly America has been fundamentally transformed. Obama recently casually declared, in a speech at the annual Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C. on April 30, 2016, “The end of the Republic has never looked better!” [6]

Strangely, the media has made no mention of that surprising comment—or is it so strange, after all? That statement essentially says America is just about finished, in his view.

The planners for world takeover know what it will take to accomplish that goal, a one-world government. It is not without a corresponding purpose that there has been a decided push to topple dictatorships in northern Africa and the Middle East region.

When Egypt military leaders took over their government in a coup a few years ago and ousted the Muslim Brotherhood, President Obama sent Secretaries Hagel and Kerry over there to try to convince the new leaders to allow the Muslim Brotherhood to have a part in the new government.

(The article reporting this action once appeared on the Internet but seems to have been removed.) While national sovereignty cannot be permitted, neither can a dictatorship in a scheme for a New World Order.

It is clear in Bible prophecy that a New World Order and its one-world government is also God’s plan, for that seventh head of the beast in Revelation 13 has not yet formed, even today, as John described it there and in Revelation 17. Those heads of the beast are identified as prior kingdoms, or one-world governments, so the undercurrent of news events about a New World Order are telling us that the seventh head is being viewed as an imminent reality.

Ezekiel 38-39 reports a coming war wherein Russia (Gog) of the far north will join with Iran (Persia) and others and come upon the land of Israel to destroy and plunder, but God will intercede and those nations will be destroyed upon the mountains of Israel. Thus, that number of sovereign nations will lose their sovereignty.

Likewise are the results of other efforts of nations to conquer and control, namely the battle of Armageddon. All of these eliminations of national sovereignties become a gift-wrapped package to be handed to the Antichrist when he completes that seventh head and then takes over as the eighth head of the beast, as record in Revelation 17.

Then he is indwelt by Satan as the latter is cast out of heaven (see Revelation 12) and the attempt to take over the throne of God happens (Daniel 9:27b and 2 Thessalonians 3:3-4). That perdition he is headed for is the lake of fire where he will burn forever (Revelation 19:20).

How are the events progressing? Are attitudes and actions falling into place? Consider this: In the 12th century a Jewish Rabbi in Germany, named Judah Ben Samuel, a prolific writer at the time, made three prophetic declarations, sealed them with instructions not to open them until his death. When that time came, these were the prophecies [7]:

1. When the Turkish Ottoman Empire conquers Jerusalem (they were a powerful force even in his day), they would hold the city for eight Jubilee years—50 years multiplied by 8 times, equaling 400 years. The Turks conquered Jerusalem in 1517 and held it until 1917 when the British took control at the end of World War I—400 years.

2. Rabbi Ben Samuel then wrote that the city would be a “no-man’s land” (under international control) for the ninth Jubilee, when Jerusalem would once again return to Jewish control. In the June, 1967, Six Day War, Moshe Dayan, with the black patch over his right eye, and his troops took back the city of Jerusalem, exactly 50 years from 1917.

3. That would mark the beginning, the Rabbi predicts, of the “Messianic End Time” for the duration of that 10th Jubilee, ending in the year 2017 when the Messiah would come.

Of course what I have cited above is not Bible prophecy, and is not recorded in the Scriptures. But is it merely coincidental that two of the three predictions have come to pass right on target? It compares to another similar non-scriptural prophecy, the one by an Irish Catholic Cardinal of about the same vintage as that of Rabbi Ben Samuel.

While visiting the Vatican, he predicted that there would be 116 popes in the future and that the 116th one would be the last pope. The intrigue surrounding the strange retirement of Pope Benedict that made way for the appointment of Pope Francis, now that 116th pope, seems to give much credence to that age-old prediction.

It is especially thought-provoking, in light of the pronouncements and actions of Pope Francis as he attempts to draw together, apparently, all religions into one in subsequent months. These two sets of prophetic statements could well be included under the heading of “Signs of the Times,” along with the four blood moons in 2014 and 2015.

As we mark off the recurring days of 2017, and even before that year begins, with understandable concern for the obvious warfare among peoples of the earth, it would be very good for us to remember the words of Jesus in Luke 21:28:

“Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

The mystery of the seven feasts of Israel that God gave Moses (Leviticus 23) may hold some clues of us in relation to the 2017 target predicted by Rabbi Ben Samuel and which the four blood moons alluded to when they occurred on the first and last of the seven feasts in both years, Passover and Tabernacles. (If those were coincidental, only an act of God could have made them so!)

The feasts have respective portrayals, as demonstrated in the events that have occurred already on the first four feasts—Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits and Pentecost. Three remain unfulfilled, Trumpets, Atonement and Tabernacles. Trumpets clearly pictures the Rapture of the believers in its festive observances each year since the days of Moses.

Atonement follows on the tenth day afterward and depicts the recognition of Jesus as the true Messiah by the Jews and their atonement (Zechariah 12:10). This does not mean that the timing on a calendar is that their fulfillments will be in that same immediate timeframe. It has been centuries since those first four feasts were fulfilled.

In the seven-year tribulation period those final two feasts will be fulfilled, with Tabernacles, which pictures Christ’s return to dwell on earth, the Second Coming (Zechariah 14:4).

Of the seven feasts, only one has no certain beginning day or hour, the Feast of Trumpets. It can only begin when a designated person physically views the new moon and reports back to the religious leaders that fact. Otherwise, the beginning is delayed until the following day, after sunset.

It remains to be seen if this is what Jesus was alluding to when He said, “No man knows the day or the hour of His coming.” Will that day and hour come in 2017? As other corresponding end-time events are fulfilled, we must wait on lathe Lord and be prepared.

Finally, the parallel of man’s end target and God’s plan for His plan of judgment raises the question of what should a Christian do? Help the formation of a New World Order which opposes God so His judgment may come quicker? That would be contradictory, like sinning to produce righteousness.

Actually, God does not need believers to help Him with His judgment, neither its timing nor its application. We must do what we can to display God’s glory in our prayers and actions, as Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 2:2-3, “…that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence, for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior.”

And be a source of hope with the gospel for those without hope. With that, we must agree with the apostle John, who wrote at the end of his Revelation, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus!”

Who Gets to Cast the First Stone? :: by Gene Lawley

Figuratively speaking, I am writing this article in the sand, with my head down, bowed with a guilty memory of transgression of my past. When I lift up my head, my eyes light up with the realization that forgiveness has been laid out for me by Jesus Christ, Lord of the universe. He has removed them from me as far as the east is from the west, and they are forever moving away from me because there is no end to that direction—ever!

You, too, can lay claim to that effective erasing of your sinful past. “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us” (Psalm 103:12).

But back to the sand writing, only this time let’s go to that account in John 8:3-11 where Jesus dealt masterfully with an attitude that is as current today as it was in His day, some 2,000 years ago:

“Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, they said to Him, ‘Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?’

“This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with Hisfinger, as though He did not hear.

“So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, ‘He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.’

“And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, ‘Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?’ She said, ‘No one, Lord.’ And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.’”

There are a couple of points that need to be mentioned. Where was the man involved in the act of adultery? It may appear that Jesus condoned her sin, at first glance, but while He did not condemn her, He told her to go and sin no more. Also, it is apparent that she had not been refusing to admit her guilt.

This story is a very appropriate one for those considering the candidates in this coming presidential election. The question is obvious—who gets to cast the first stone? Are current or relatively current, atrocities of more importance than digging out the past to find some hint, even of bad character which may be used to put a blot on the character of an opponent?

Try as we might, there will never be found any candidate who can walk on water, and some of the possibilities, even among the accusers, would not dare go near the water for fear of implication. In the locker room, on the golf course, in the hunting lodge, in the gutter—all are places from where no person wants his or her words repeated. Why? The answer is clear: “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

But when God makes that kind of accusation and condemnation, He always includes hand-in-hand with it, His solution for the problem. It is Romans 3:24 “…being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.”

Mentally robed in our self-righteous garments, we may be wondering how that dirty old publican, a tax collector, even, could possibly have won Jesus’ approval ahead of that “model of political correctness, civic prominence, even religious to a fault” person (I embellish them for current consideration). See Luke 18:10-14:

“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’

“And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise hiseyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ ‘I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.’”

That old prayer of Jabez comes to mind and whether you are critical of the prayer or embrace it, as I do, it is uniquely tucked in the middle of a sea of “begots” that would not be missed if it were not there. Yet it is there in the holy Scripture for our learning. That verse in 1 Chronicles 4:10 tells us this:

“And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, ‘Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!’ So God granted him what he requested.”

He asks God to bless and be with him, a very vital need, and two other requests that are particularly pertinent to anyone running for president:First, to help enlarge his territory (capture the votes. And second, keep him from evil that he may not cause pain.

If one of the candidate’s wins the race by running the same horse in a repeat performance, making no changes in policies, and with the use of deception and perversion of justice (as much evidence seems to declare), her becoming the first woman president will be like a mouthful of gravel.

If the other person wins, he is fully committed to making a multitude of changes in policies and practices that have become the very fiber of our national lifestyle. He will have an unbelievable warfare with those of the insider, globalist establishment whose desire and goal is a one-world government controlled by them. It will not be pretty, for the fight is a deadly one, and the spin-out from the primary campaign reveals volumes of the desperation grasping those insiders who do not want changes to be made.

There is no likeness of morality or spirituality between the two situations, but when Jesus came preaching grace and justification by faith, the religious leaders panicked, for here came someone who was advocating massive change that would upset their establishment like nothing else ever could!

But as Robert Burns, the poet, wrote, “The best laid plans of mice and men sometimes go awry.” Like when the railing, crippled ex-officer from the Viet Nam war in the story of “Forrest Gump” was asking “Where is God” as the storm raged, “about that time God showed up!”

When God shows up, things take on a new perspective. According to Psalm 75:6-8, God exalts one and puts down another in respect to what He plans to accomplish. The question looming in the thoughts of many believers is, will God actually allow the changes to be made and see America restored to moral, financial and economic integrity such as has never been in many, many decades?

Or, Is this promise of change of direction for the nation a test to see what kind of response the American population will make?

Is the trend of shutting God out of our schools and more and more, out of our public lives going to be the national desire, or will there be repentance so that there can be a “healing of the land?” The last of that Psalm 75 passage says God’s cup of wrath is filled to the brim, ready to be poured out and “the wicked will drink down its dregs.”
