Why is almost everyone in America today convinced that terrible judgment
is coming to the entire United
States based on its supposedly all-surpassing
wickedness over any other nation? Why is everyone ignoring the righteous believers
who live in every urban and rural community in America, and that hate what has
been done behind their backs by their out-of-control government? Why do so many
seem to accept the damning verdict that the United
States of America is Babylon the Great blindly - without fully
examining the history of our nation that was popularly and extensively taught
prior to 1950? Finally, why do so many fail to read and analyze the description
of Babylon the Great or Mystery Babylon that is
given in the Bible for themselves to see if the USA actually fits all of the
criteria for being this evil entity?
Though many younger believers seem to be unaware
of it, there has been a massive campaign among Prophecy teachers in America and
abroad in recent years to paint the entire national infrastructure of the
United States of America as evil and occult, with many organizations claiming
that the USA is a stronghold of the Freemasons and Illuminati, and will fulfill
the dire prophecies about the entity known as Babylon the Great in the Book of
Revelation. Many Messianic Jewish and Christian religious organizations have succumbed
to these theories, which tie the United States to just about every
Occult organization on the planet, including the two best known among them: the
Illuminati and the Freemasons.
But most younger or new believers do not
seem to know that – a little over 50 years ago - many teachings about the USA as
a positive force for good could be found being taught from the pulpits, within US
History text books used in most public and private schools, and in many popular
books being sold in bookstores throughout the country. In addition, pastors and
history teachers alike taught the fact that a majority of America’s forty
founding fathers that signed the US Constitution prayed and attended church regularly
- with many of them actually having served as pastors and evangelists at one
time or another, as well as having fought in the Revolutionary War.
Prior to 1950, there were also numerous
books sold in US bookstores that taught about the divine destiny of the United States
and its place in world history and Bible Prophecy as a positive force for good.
All these books generally taught that the United States had been set up on
godly Judeo-Christian principles, that the US Constitution was written and meant
to be interpreted and enforced with these principles fully in mind, and that
Yahweh God had a special purpose for America as a nation that promoted and
upheld the Judeo-Christian concepts of Liberty and Democracy throughout the
world.
The reason for the complete 180-degree
shift in attitude toward the role of the United States in history and prophecy
is hidden to most younger Americans behind the fact that the United States
educational system, the major US media outlets, and many Seminaries and
Universities in the United States were infiltrated and taken over by promoters
of Fascism, Socialism, Darwinism, and the false theory of the separation
between Church and State. This eventually led to the tragic outlawing of prayer
and the removal of teaching biblical wisdom such as the idea of Special
Creation in US schools. Then, gradually, these policies contributed to the
takeover of all the major US
television, newspaper, and radio networks by Socialist sympathizers, and then
led to the almost complete removal of every teaching about the divine role of
the United States in America’s
churches and schools.
This is not to say that every past teaching
about the United States of America’s
role in history was always being accurately represented by pastors or scholars.
On the contrary! As with Great Britain’s
Anglican Church, which still teaches Replacement Theology as the basis for
their Colonialist aspirations, some of America’s
history books were heavily biased in America’s favor. As such, they
excluded the tremendous force for good that true believers outside of the USA have to play in upholding Liberty and Democracy. In affect, they failed
to teach that Liberty
and Democracy are NOT JUST the American
Way, but the Way of Yahweh!
Yes, you heard it right! Our loving God Yahweh
wants every one of His children to promote Liberty and Democracy so that they all have a
free choice to decide which power they will follow – whether it is for good or
for evil – and the ONLY WAY that this can happen fully is in a world that is
globally united and governed by democratic principles. Whether you accept this
idea or not, providing Liberty and Freedom to every soul so it can choose
between good or evil is the ultimate objective behind the New World Order, and
the rabid promotion of sexual lust, violence, homosexuality and abortion
through the media and entertainment industries today. This freeing up of
society to readily choose between evil and good is therefore NOT just Satan’s
plot, but is also God’s Plan to fully divide the world along ideological
grounds, and then bring it to the brink of Armageddon so that the Millennial
Kingdom of Yahshua can be ushered in, and the wicked can be easily identified
and destroyed.
Just think about it! As it is taught in Yahshua’s Parables of the dividing of the Wheat from the Tares (See:
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2013:24-30&version=NKJV), and the separation of the Sheep from the Goats (See:
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+25:30-46&version=NKJV), it has become far easier to weed out the wicked - especially now that people around the world are being set free to publicly engage in every sort of lust and perversion, sexual or otherwise.
The identification of the few good people among
the many bad is also going to be easier now that everyone is beginning to feel
free to malign and persecute God’s true followers, even while promoting and
embracing every heretical and false doctrine imaginable.
With this in mind, I now want to focus on
the major flaws in the popular idea that the Unites States may be Babylon the Great. As
such, let me point out that nearly everybody seems to be overlooking the fact
that Mystery Babylon, the Mother of Harlots, is described as a CITY, NOT AN
ENTIRE NATION! Furthermore, Babylon
the Great is described as being responsible for murdering countless saints and
prophets:
~*~ Revelation 18:21-24 ~*~
“Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a
great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “Thus with
violence the great CITY (NOT Nation!) Babylon
shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore. 22 The sound of
harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you
anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound
of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore. 23 The light of a
lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride
shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the
earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. 24 AND IN
HER WAS FOUND THE BLOOD OF PROPHETS AND SAINTS, AND OF ALL WHO WERE SLAIN ON
THE EARTH.”
In direct contrast to this, the United States
is NOT merely one city, but a group of 50 states filled with thousands of
cities. In addition, rather than being a murderer of prophets and saints, the
USA is responsible for sending out more missionaries and missionary aid to the
entire world than any other nation, bar none. Also, of all the wars fought in
the Twentieth Century, the United
States was NOT DIRECTLY INVOLVED in the bad
mix of religion and politics that led to the two bloodiest wars of that century:
World War I and World War II. In addition to NOT being a major war instigator, the
USA
is home to many agencies that distribute Bibles and Judeo-Christian good will
to the entire world. These include the American Bible Society and the
International Bible Society - organizations that have been instrumental in providing
low cost Bibles in many different languages as a public service throughout the
world. These examples alone already should have made it clear that the ENTIRE
USA CANNOT BE BABYLON THE GREAT!
With all due respect to Rabbi Jonathan Cahn
and his great book “The Harbinger,” which has infiltrated believer’s ranks, and
influenced believer’s beliefs concerning Bible Prophecy everywhere, I believe
that the judgment that is coming to America is primarily going to be
directed at the socialist leadership within this nation, and at those people that
blindly follow them. These are, after all, the same leaders that kept
misquoting Isaiah 9:10 out of context - as Rabbi Cahn duly noted in his book. When
they did so, they poured condemnation onto themselves as leaders, partly because
it shows their biblical illiteracy. As people with no real biblical wisdom, these
leaders can only be masquerading as Christians or Messianics. By their ignorance
of Bible Prophecy, these same leaders have also succeeded in pouring condemnation
on those who have heard their fancy speeches full of empty boasts, and could
not see the deception or the curse hidden in their faulty choice of Scriptures
and ideologies. This is because those who follow the Liberal Political agenda in
America
are as biblically illiterate as the wayward leaders that they follow.
What I am saying is that God’s Judgment is
NOT coming to those that hate these deceitful aspects of American politics, but
to those within and outside of this nation that support the subversive political
policies that are destroying our individual liberties at an alarming rate.
Those who are ripe for judgment in America are the liberals,
communists and fascists living here and abroad - those who hate God and the American Way. They WILL
suffer the consequences of their actions against the Way of Yahweh, and against
His anointed ones - NOT the righteous who live here, and are anxiously awaiting
their Messiah’s return! Many righteous Americans, and the dying nation that
they love, will be delivered! But the wicked people living here and abroad will
pay a terrible price on Judgment Day - when God’s horrible Wrath is poured out
on all of them! None of them will escape judgment, and their days are numbered!
As I briefly attempted to clarify at the
beginning of this article, America
was not evil from its onset, but was a safe haven for people of many faiths to
start a new life - free from oppression. Sadly however, this safe haven has
been hijacked by wicked men with an evil agenda that is totally against true
liberty and freedom. So, though I agree that judgment is going on, it is fairly
obvious from this year’s record-breaking months of severe weather (flooding,
storms, tornadoes and drought), earthquakes in diverse places, and worldwide
mass animal deaths that judgment is going on all over the world - not just in America.
There is also much evidence that not every
place in America
is under the same degree of judgment. As an example, in 2005, New Orleans was hit with one of the biggest
disasters in American history from the destruction, flooding and death caused
by Hurricane Katrina, and it was hit again this year with a similar disaster,
though not as bad as the first. The reason, in my opinion, is that New Orleans is still one
of the biggest hotbeds of all kinds of sexual sin and substance abuse in the
nation. It was also a city with an extremely high rate of rapes, muggings and
robberies before Katrina hit, and it is still one of the biggest supporters of
the Gay Agenda in America.
The judgment on New Orleans
was therefore delivered to a specific area of the country that showed no
repentance or godliness as a whole.
This scenario of extreme sinfulness can
also be seen in the case of the destruction of the World
Trade Center
in New York City on September 11th, 2001, where
a similar scenario to New Orleans
emerges. For example, New York
is the home of the internationally recognized New York Stock Exchange
controlling most of the world’s commerce, which is largely based on greed and
avarice, and is bent on making the rich, richer and the poor, poorer. New York City is also the home of the United Nations,
which has shown by its policies that it hates Christianity, hates Israel, and despises Liberty. In addition, New
York City is the international home of many big businesses that are
working hard to destroy this nation with the removal of the USA’s
manufacturing base to foreign nations. By doing this, they are purposely
enriching the rest of the world while weakening America’s economy, and
impoverishing many Americans.
Meanwhile, until recently, Americans were
the most philanthropic people in the world as a whole - annually giving more
money to charity for local and international humanitarian aid than ANY other
nation. In addition, American Churches of every denomination have always had
numerous outreaches to the poor in their communities. This includes outreaches
to the poor or unsaved in developing nations around the world. In fact, the
vast majority of American Churches have participated in overseas missions and
evangelism, and most of the major US
Church denominations have
been engaged in more international mission activities than any other nation in
history.
It is also interesting to note that atheism
and abortions are statistically lower in the United States than in the rest of the
developed nations as a whole. Also, despite the excessive media coverage given
to homosexual issues and the false statistic that ten percent of the US population is Gay or bisexual, homosexuality
is not as rampant in America
as it is in other developed or developing nations. In fact, one study estimated
the percentage of homosexuals in America to be no more than 3
percent, whereas an estimated 25 to 35 percent of men in Muslim nations are
bisexual. This is due to the fact that many Muslim men practice homosexual
behavior before entering into a traditional marriage to have children - and
they often continue their homosexual activities afterward as well! For this
reason, I believe that God will protect and preserve the righteous believers in
the United States,
a nation that is NOT really the wickedest place on Earth, despite repeated
false reports that it is.
As for the claims that the United
States of America isn’t
mentioned in Bible Prophecy, my Language of God Book Series proves that America
IS mentioned in the Bible - quite often, in fact! It’s just that
Anglo-Israelism and Replacement Theology have given a bad name to the notion
that America and the rest
of the West are meant to be reckoned as a part of Lost Israel. In my books: “The Language of God in History” and “The Language of God in Prophecy”, I
explain the errors in Anglo-Israelism and Replacement Theology. However, I also
address the merit that these teachings have when defined properly.
When the West is seen as NOT replacing
Judah or the Jews, but as being reckoned alongside of them, it can be seen that
the Church in the West is often called Israel and Ephraim
in Bible Prophecy. In fact, America in particular can be
identified with the Lost Tribe of Ephraim (NOT Manasseh! Why? See my book “The Language of God in Prophecy”),
which is seen by God as working in tandem with Israel to do God’s
Will in the world in the Last Days. This is especially clear in my
interpretation of the hidden prophecy in Psalm 108, which is linked to at the
end of this article.
Though America does not seem to be
supporting Israel currently due to the radical Anti-American and seemingly Anti-Israeli agenda of our
current President, I believe that Israel
and America
are working even now to make the prophecy revealed in Psalm 108 come true in
our era. I have provided a link to the free Blog article version of my teachings concerning the prophecy in Psalm 108 toward the end of this article. Please be sure to read all of this blog article, and to read the PDF file that contains the entire ninth chapter of my book on prophecy that is linked to within it. In the meantime, I don’t think it will be long now before the USA and Israel
have achieved their goal to unite the West with most of the Middle
East under the banner of the New World Order. Together, the leaders of Israel and the USA have been doing a great job convincing their enemies around the world that the USA is weak and falling apart, and is no longer supportive of Israel, and that Israel will get no help from them. But don’t believe this rhetoric for a moment, because it’s all a front, and it is NOT true!
Yes, you heard me right! I believe the New World Order is a construct of the USA and Israel together, and its initial phase will be benign in wanting to establish democracy and freedom of religion all over the world. But when the Rapture happens, and all of the true believers in Yahshua are taken to Heaven, this situation will change dramatically!
I believe the New World Order is expressly being set up by God so that the Antichrist can take control of the world, which he will do
soon - AS PER GOD’S WILL! However, I also believe that this New World Order
will be met with much hostility from the East, and portions of this global
empire will likely be attacked by Russia and/or China soon after it is formed,
thereby paving the way for the Antichrist to take control. However, I also
believe that many of the nations and cities in the West will not suffer
widespread damage, or be fully destroyed by this military offensive from the
East before Yahshua returns with His saints to fight the Battle of Armageddon.
In fact, like Israel, I
believe that portions of America
- and other nations with large populations of new believers that will emerge
from those left behind in the Rapture - will be miraculously protected during
the Great Tribulation.
Regarding the formation of the New World
Order, it is clear to me that some of the leaders in the United States and Israel
have much in common with President Ahmadinejad of Iran. I say this because - though
Ahmadinejad really doesn’t believe in the one true God Yahweh - he wants to see
ancient religious prophecies within Islam fulfilled so that Sharia Law can be
established throughout the world, thereby uniting everyone under the banner of
Islam. Meanwhile, leaders like Netanyahu and Romney, who have been fast friends
for years, want to usher in a new age of righteous godliness and brotherhood.
Unfortunately, the major problem with the
desire to set up a global theocracy on the Earth aimed at following the Laws of
God lies in the faulty thinking of some leaders that they can set up God’s
Kingdom on Earth WITHOUT GOD’S DIRECT INTERVENTION. They also don't appear to care
that there are many evil secret societies working behind the scenes to
implement their own far darker agendas. Sadly, the inevitable coming result of
this collision of opposing agendas, ideologies and motives will be much
bloodshed and loss of life around the world.
The heresy that mankind can achieve a
global utopia without God’s direct leadership will soon be proven to be impossible when the Antichrist openly takes control in the near future - of that I have no
doubt! In the meantime, we need to be praying for our nation and our leaders,
asking God to help them to do His Will, and NOT the will of sinful men that
love darkness rather than Yahweh God’s light. For more information about my
viewpoints and teachings, please read the Blog post that I’ve linked to below.
In the meantime, may our Father God Yahweh watch over and bless you all
abundantly! In Yahshua’s Name, Amen!

Within the article linked to above, there is another link to a 102-page PDF
document reproducing all of Chapter Nine of my book: “The Language of God in
Prophecy”, which details the prophetic place of the Unite States of America that is revealed in many Bible
Scriptures, as well as the Gospel in the Stars. I am not going to link to it here
because I really want to encourage everyone to find it by reading my Blog post
linked to above. It’s extremely important for everyone to understand what it

Here are two other recent POEM Blog

the United States and Israel in Bible
Prophecy, and for a deeper understanding of my

IMPORTANT POEM BLOG ARTICLE:
UNDERSTANDING THE TWO BEASTS OF REVELATION 13 -
Article Excerpt: As explained in earlier Blog articles, the United States and United Kingdom can be directly
connected with the Patriarch Joseph’s sons Ephraim and Manasseh, who are
signified by the two horns of the constellation Taurus the Bull. Likewise, the
body of the heavenly bull may represent the European Union. In addition, this
raging, red-eyed bull that signifies the secret union of the three
aforementioned superpowers has an undeniable connection with the Tribulation
period, so it is a fair guess that Yahshua the Messiah will crush the global
schemes of these nations and groups of nations at His Second Coming!

THE
SATANIC REVISION OF AMERICAN AND
WORLD
HISTORY, AND ITS CONSEQUENCES:
Article
Excerpt: Unfortunately, the Christian underpinnings of the American
government began to be questioned in the mid 1800’s, when interest in the
Occult, Secular Humanism and Communism exploded among the elite in Europe, England and America. As a result of this,
Christian ideals and beliefs, and a Biblical worldview were no longer in vogue.
During this same time period, even as the schools were being infiltrated by
leaders in the Occult schools of Theosophy, Rosicrucianism, and the Neo-Pagan
New Age movement, Masonic lodges all over the West were systematically taken
over by a highly Occult form of Freemasonry that has been traced to Scotland and France. At that time, all Christian
trappings or references were removed from Masonic lodges and their secret
rites, and Occult teachings and symbols were introduced.
