Who Owns America? :: By Daymond Duck

On June 21, 2023, the Western Journal reported that an undercover journalist working for the O’Keefe Media Group secretly videoed several interviews with a BlackRock recruiter.

(Note: BlackRock is the world’s largest investment firm, it has about $10 trillion of assets, and it has more assets than any nation on earth except the U.S. and China. According to the article, the recruiter said BlackRock is known as “the company that owns the world” because they hold and manage a significant number of shares in almost all major corporations in the U.S. and many other parts of the world across all industries, including Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Tesla, Coca-Cola, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, Exxon Mobil, Fox Corporations, Visa, Chevron, JPMorgan Chase, Walmart, and many more.)

Here is some of what the BlackRock recruiter said on video (his and my words):

  • The one who is really in charge is not the president of a country but the one who is controlling the wallet of the president.
  • The hedge funds, BlackRock, the banks. These guys run the world. They buy politicians.
  • It is called campaign financing. For $10,000 you can buy a U.S. Senator.
  • It doesn’t matter who wins. They’re in my pocket at this point.
  • I know what happens because I recruit people to do these things.

Here is a link to the article (warning, it contains vulgar language):

(My opinion: I cannot verify that the BlackRock recruiter’s statements are accurate, but I will say that I believe America has been sold out to people who are under the influence of Satan. America is no longer a nation under God. This fits Bible prophecy, it is a sign that the Rapture and Tribulation Period are near, and God will soon take back His Creation.)

(More: On June 26, 2023, it was reported that Pres. Biden recently (on June 22, 2023) met with India’s Prime Min. Modi, and Biden said, “I sold a lot of state secrets and a lot of very important things we shared.” According to the report, Biden’s confession that he sold a lot of state secrets is on the White transcripts of the meeting. He is either extremely incompetent, extremely corrupt, or both.)

(FYI: Concerning the last days, Paul said, “evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived” (II Tim. 2:1, 13).

Here are some recent events that indicate that we are getting close.

One, concerning a global digital ID, a one-world currency, and a cashless society: on June 20, 2023, it was reported that:

> Kristalina Georgieva, the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), said the IMF is working on a global Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) system that can make cross-border payments “cheaper and quicker” while reducing the number of needed intermediaries.

> Georgieva suggested that a world government could help with the creation of a world currency because every nation must abide by the same rules.

> Bo Li, the Deputy Managing Director of the IMF, said CBDC transactional data (the record of what people buy and sell) could be used like it is in China to create social credit scores.

> A report by the World Economic Forum WEF) says some nations understand that a digital ID must be created before a trackable CBDC comes into being.

> The WEF report says even if people are not required by law to have a digital ID, they can be coerced into getting one by denying them access to goods and services (denying them the right to buy and sell) without one.

This sounds very much like the beginning of the system described in Revelation chapter 13, but it is coming from the IMF and the WEF, not the Bible.

Here is a link to the article:

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/international-monetary-fund-working-hard-on-a-global-central-bank-digital-currency-platform/?utm_source=digest-world-2023-06-22&utm_medium=email

Two, concerning a global digital ID linked to a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC): on June 21, 2023, it was reported that Antonio Guterres, Sec. Gen. of the UN, wants the nations to approve a global digital ID linked to everyone’s bank accounts at The Summit for the Future in Sept. 2024.

This is in addition to his calls for a global ID with information about people’s healthcare, views on climate change, views on gender equality, etc.

He wants this information so the UN can deal with those who are subverting the truth and spreading lies (people who contradict the UN’s dishonest propaganda).

(More: On June 22, 2023, it was reported that citizens in China are required to have a face scan and to be in good standing in China’s social credit system to buy gasoline for their vehicles.)

(More: On June 25, 2023, it was reported that the Federal Reserve Bank in New York has quietly rolled out a digital dollar (CBDC). They will soon be monitoring and regulating how New Yorkers spend their money, and it could spread to other banks within months.)

(FYI: Some do not seem to understand that the Mark of the Beast is not everyone having a different global ID number linked to their bank account. The Mark of the Beast is everyone taking the same number (the number of the Antichrist; 666), his name, or his Mark (Rev. 13:16-18). That will happen in the middle of the Tribulation Period. We are not in the Tribulation Period. No one has confirmed a 7-yr Covenant. The Antichrist cannot rise while the Restrainer (the true Church indwelt by Holy Spirit) is here. But everyone having a different number (global ID) linked to their Bank account is a major step in the development of a system that will require people to take the number, name, or Mark of the Antichrist at the middle of the Tribulation Period. The Antichrist system to track all buying and selling is “beginning to come to pass.” And do not take this lightly. Those that take the Mark will never be saved; Rev. 14:9-11.).

Three, concerning world government: on June 26, 2023, it was reported that in addition to what nations are already doing, French Pres. Emanuel Macron wants a global tax to fight global warming and poverty (sounds like a global welfare system).

Four, concerning subverting the truth and spreading lies: following the failure of a vote to censure and severely fine Congressman Adam Schiff for lying, misleading the U.S. public and conduct unbecoming a member of Congress over Hillary Clinton’s false allegation that Trump colluded with Russia, the severe fine was dropped, a second vote was taken, and it passed.

Adam Schiff has now been censored by the U.S. House of Representatives, and he will be investigated by the House Ethics Committee.

Our leaders would do well to remember that there will be a payday someday.

Five, concerning corruption and the decline of America: on June 21, 2023, Special Council John Durham was testifying before Congress about Hillary Clinton’s false allegation that Trump colluded with Russia, and he was asked, “How long do you think that this country will survive with a two-tiered justice system that seeks to persecute people on their political beliefs?”

Durham replied, “I don’t think that things can go too much further with the view that law enforcement, particularly the FBI or Department of Justice, runs a two-tiered system of justice. The nation can’t stand under those circumstances.”

As I understand it, Durham was saying the U.S. is a divided nation, and it will fall if something is not quickly done about the two-tiered justice system in Washington.

(More: On June 25, 2023, it was reported that a former FBI analyst was sentenced to 46 months in prison about a week earlier for possessing classified documents. Jim Hoff, writer of the article, asks, “What about Hillary, Mike Pence, and Joe Biden?).

Six, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: I am writing this on June 24, 2023, and it will be July 1, 2023, before it is posted, but there is a rebellion going on in Russia, Vladimir Putin and some of his staff have fled Moscow, and people are calling me and e-mailing me for my opinion about what is happening.

It is too early to tell, but I will say that I am on record as saying the EU will dominate the New World Order at the end of the age, and people often ask me, “What about Russia and China?”

We must understand that God’s Word is true, and it must be fulfilled exactly as He says.

If He needs to intervene in Russia, China, the U.S., or any other nation to put the EU in a dominant position, He can and He will, and He does not need a lot of time to do it.

Something that I find interesting is that Gog’s military will start fighting among themselves when they attack Israel (Ezek. 38:21), and there are competing factions in Russia’s military today.

There are many reasons to be concerned, but God is in control, and Russia/China will not lead the New World Order.

Ten Kings must appear first, three will be overthrown, and all of them will surrender their power to the Antichrist.

The Antichrist will come from the people that destroyed Israel in 70 A.D. (the EU, also called the Revived Roman Empire).

Russia is not doomed, tension is high, and Putin may or may not survive.

But Russia will regroup, and God will drag her onto the mountains of Israel in the latter years and latter days, and a weakened Russia will be on the scene when the Antichrist arrives.

Many prophecy teachers think Putin is Gog, but we do not know that, and if he is, he must die on the mountains of Israel (Ezek. 39:11), not in a rebellion in Russia.

Also, the fact that Gog will be buried in Israel is proof that he is not the Antichrist because the Antichrist will be cast alive in the Lake of Fire, not buried in Israel (Rev. 19:20).

Two different leaders ending in two different ways is proof that the Battle of Gog/Magog and the Battle of Armageddon are two different wars.

Another difference between the two wars is that The Battle of Gog and Magog is a 10-nation attack on Israel, but the Battle of Armageddon is a global army under the Antichrist.

(Update: The rebellion ended about 2-3 hours after I wrote the above. That is my opinion, and time will tell.).

(More: On June 26, 2023, the U.S. announced that it will send another $500 million to Ukraine for a counteroffensive against Russia.)

Seven, On June 24, 2023, it was reported that the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture has approved the sale of lab-grown me in U.S. supermarkets and restaurants.

This is part of the U.S. government’s solution to climate change.

(My Opinion: I have heard people say they will not eat fake meat, worms, or bugs, but if it comes to that or starvation, many will eat these things to survive, and we know that there will be a terrible global famine after the Rapture.)

Eight, concerning a normalization of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia: on June 25,2023, Israel’s Foreign Minister said he thinks it will happen before Mar. 2024.

If it does, it would be a major step toward a covenant of peace between Israel and the Arabs.

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go there because we sin), but God provides a way for everyone to go to Heaven.

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

Lessons from Hosea :: By Nathele Graham

“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope” (Romans 15:4).

Hosea was one of the Old Testament Prophets of God and was given a tough assignment. He obeyed God’s direction, and today, we have a “picture” of God’s faithfulness even when we are unfaithful to Him.

Hosea was directed by God to marry “a wife of whoredoms,” which would cause much heartbreak. “The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD” (Hosea 1:2).

Hosea lived during the same time as Isaiah, so God was speaking through many men at this time. Hosea’s life was to be a “picture” of the relationship between Israel and God. God ordained marriage and uses it as a picture of His love for Israel and Christ’s love for His Bride, so it seems odd that God would tell Hosea to marry an adulteress. This should never be taken as the standard of marriage; infidelity is serious. This directive was to graphically show the faithfulness of God, as represented by Hosea, and the unfaithfulness of Israel, represented by Gomer.

Unfaithfulness to God by worshipping pagan idols is called adultery. “Thou shalt not commit adultery” (Exodus 20:14).

At this time in history, David’s kingdom of Israel had been divided into the Northern Kingdom called Israel and the Southern Kingdom called Judah. Israel was very unfaithful to God by embracing wicked pagan worship and turning away from God. Idolatry is equal to whoredom, and so Gomer was representative of the idol worship found in the Northern Kingdom. Although Israel had rejected God, He was still faithful to them and tried to bring them back into a faithful relationship. Idolatry is an abomination to God. Christians need to be sure to worship and submit to Him and not put anything ahead of our love for Him.

God holds marriage in high esteem, but today it’s turned into a thing of evil or skipped altogether. It’s only to be between one man and one woman and is the only acceptable place for sexual activity. The Apostle Paul discusses marriage and the role of the wife and the husband. Wives have a responsibility to the marriage.

“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing” (Ephesians 5:22-24).

Gomer had trouble submitting to her own husband, and so Christians, as the Bride of Christ, have trouble submitting to our Lord. Woman’s lib and the “woke” movement are tools of Satan to destroy God’s ordained plan. Gomer was a prostitute and indulged in whoredom. She is a “picture” of the nation of Israel over the years. Sometimes they have submitted to God, but other times they indulge in adultery through idolatry and not submitting to God. A husband has his own place in God’s plan. He is to love his wife as Christ loves His church.

“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For not man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church” (Ephesians 5:25-29).

I’m very blessed to have been married to a Godly man and know how easy it is to submit to his love.

When the division of the kingdoms happened, Jeroboam became king over the Northern Kingdom, and like America today, it was prosperous but very corrupt. Evil and wickedness were legalized, while those who feared God and worshipped Him were criminalized. When the leader of a nation is evil, the whole nation follows suit. The Levites, who were faithful to God, left Israel and fled to the Southern Kingdom ruled by Rehoboam, who was King Solomon’s son.

“And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts. For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest’s office unto the LORD: and he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he made” (2 Chronicles 11:13-15).

The “high places” were places where evil acts were done and worship of idols was at its worst. Instead of the God-ordained Levitical priesthood, Jeroboam appointed non-Levitical priests who led the adulterous worship. It was Satanic. Today we have the ACLU, which champions the “rights” of human sacrifice, called abortion, and promotes the protection of deviant sexual practices while trying to silence Christians. The similarities between Hosea’s time and America today are obvious.

After the Levites left, other people who wanted no part of the wickedness also left. “And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the LORD God of their fathers” (2 Chronicles 11:16). There were many people who were faithful to God Almighty. Today we need to follow their example and take no part in the evil that’s gripping the United States and, indeed, the entire world.

Christians need to shun the ways of the world and put God first. Christians will soon be taken away from the evil when God calls us Home in the Rapture. Because those who refused to be a part of the evil of the Northern Kingdom left, the Southern Kingdom was strengthened. Christians today can strengthen our own nation by refusing to be a part of the wickedness of spiritual prostitution, returning to the pure worship of God, and submitting to His ways.

Hosea wasn’t a part of the idolatry of the Northern Kingdom, but Gomer was. Hosea was a faithful husband, just as God is faithful to Israel in spite of their rejection of Him. God was very clear in speaking of the evils of Israel. “Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land” (Hosea 4:1).

That sounds much like America today. Our schools aren’t required to teach truth, and children aren’t taught God’s truth at home. A little boy may be encouraged to be a little girl, or a little girl encouraged to be little boy. The deception is ungodly. Also accepted and not discouraged are children who believe they are animals, and schools provide litter boxes for them. The truth that God is the Creator is replaced with the lie of evolution. When knowledge of God is denied, truth and mercy soon disappear. It’s happening today, but Christians live in denial and keep silent. Too often, like Gomer, Christians even join in the evil. We’re more afraid of being accused of being judgmental than we care about God’s truth and honoring Him.

It isn’t being judgmental when standing upon God’s truth. We aren’t under the Mosaic Law, but that Law is the heart of God. The 10 Commandments are a hint of how God views morality. Jesus said, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:17-19).

Jesus spoke plainly when He talked about the commandments and said that God’s truth goes deeper than our actions and is shown by our very thoughts. “Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: but I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire” (Matthew 5:21-22).

Have you ever been angry? I have. Jesus also said looking at another person lustfully is the same as adultery. Our thoughts are important, and they will guide our actions. Today, idol worship and lust have led to all kinds of debauchery. Idols? In America? Yes, many. Hollywood stars are touted as sex symbols and lusted after. There are also more subtle forms of idol worship, such as preferring to attend a sports event rather than assembling with Christian friends. Anything you place higher in your priority than God is idolatry… adultery to God. Emulating the lifestyles of most of the rich and famous, including government leaders, is as evil as the pagan worship of the Northern Kingdom.

The world is being groomed to accept the Mark of the Beast, which will make you beyond salvation. “And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, if any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name” (Revelation 14:9-11).

The one-world order of religion, economy, and government is coming about quickly, and it’s all addressed in the Book of Revelation. Study that book and be aware of the times in which we live. Be sure that any government edict you follow isn’t opposed to God’s word. Ignorance of Biblical truth and spiritual whoredom is making it easy for the Anti-Christ to step in as the evil world leader, and the Mark of the Beast is being prepared.

Digital money? Christians won’t be on earth to see these things fully implemented; we are seeing the beginnings. We must stand true to God today. We must not be like Gomer. It’s important that we share God’s truth with the adulterous idol worshippers of the world because if they continue to reject God, their eternity will be horrific. God is always faithful, as pictured by Hosea, and has given us Scripture to guide us. If you choose not to study Scripture, you are missing important information about the times in which we live.

One of the problems of today is that many people who claim to be Christians follow the ways of the world rather than the ways of God. When King Solomon built the Temple and dedicated it, there was much joy among the people, and God was worshipped. God was pleased but gave a warning that we need to heed today. “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14). That verse is directed toward the Jewish nation prior to the division. Still, all who claim to be of God need to pay attention to this warning.

Do you call yourself a Christian? That means you are called by God’s name, and you need to turn from anything you do that doesn’t agree with God’s commands. We all need to submit to God and stop being unfaithful to Him. We mustn’t be like Gomer.

God has never stopped loving His chosen people, and more prophecy is being fulfilled each day. He has reestablished Israel (both kingdoms), and they are back in their land. Jerusalem is their city, and no part of it belongs to heathens. There is much fighting against Israel, just as God said there would be, but they won’t be ousted from their land again. The terrorist attacks will eventually be stopped, and all of Israel’s enemies will be defeated. There are still many prophecies yet to be fulfilled, and God will always be faithful to Israel.

The Rapture of Christians is a prophetic event that will happen soon. For nearly 2,000 years, God has been focusing His attention on Christians. We have not replaced Israel, as some false teachers would have us believe. “For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: for this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins” (Romans 11:25-27).

That is a wonderful promise, but there will be a very difficult time, sometimes called the Time of Jacob’s Trouble and also called the Tribulation. Christians will be in Heaven during those final seven years, and that’s a prophetic word from God. As we watch world events, it’s easy to see that prophecy is being fulfilled quickly, and all things are happening just as God foretold and in His timing. “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).

The story of Hosea and Gomer is a beautiful example of God’s love. I have only scratched the surface, but the Book of Hosea contains many prophecies. God’s love, represented by Hosea, is faithful even though Gomer, Israel, has rejected His love. Christians need to study, truly study, all of the prophetic books (that would be Genesis through Revelation) to understand what our future is. Israel has one destiny, and Christians have another.

Idolatry does not honor God, and we are all guilty of putting pride of self above God. God won’t tolerate pride and vanity because they come from Satan. “Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope: that say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it” (Isaiah 5:18-19).

When you see pride paraded publicly, you can be sure God is not being honored. “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter?” (Isaiah 5:20). God’s love is perfect and eternal, but if we choose to reject Him and call evil good, then we reap the result of our adultery, He will allow us our free choice of spending eternity separated from Him. Remember that God gave His Son to be the final sacrifice for our salvation. If you choose not to accept His death, burial, and resurrection for your salvation, then you choose to spend eternity separated from Him.

God is faithful, like Hosea, even when we are steeped in idolatry and reject Him. He has not given up on Israel, just as Hosea never turned away from Gomer. Learn the lessons to be found in Hosea, and be faithful to God. Don’t be like Gomer by chasing after idolatry. Be faithful to God.

God bless you all,

Nathele Graham
