Power
Elite
The growing
families from Joseph’s two sons and Jacob’s eleven sons remain in Egypt for
several hundred years until they become progressively enslaved by the Egyptian kings.
They suffer deprivation and debasement until Moses arises and is called by the
Lord to be His servant. Moses, with a supposed series of miracles, leads Jacob
(all the Israelites) out of Egypt in a 40-year trek back to Canaan, the land
promised to Abraham by Melchizedek. Once established in the Holy Land, the
House of Israel unifies for a period and then divides into northern (Israel)
and southern (Judah) factions. The Northern Tribes (Israel/Ephraim) turn away
from God first and become progressively depraved, sinful, and foolish, even
sacrificing their own children to pagan gods. Those in high positions, the
power elite, become the most depraved of all, absolute power corrupting
absolutely. Having turned their backs on God, the Northern Tribes drift farther
and farther away from God and truth. Foolishly, the leaders of Israel try to
silence the prophets sent by God and succeed in leading the people into
destruction and captivity at the hands of the Assyrians. The surviving remnant
of Israel (the Northern Ten Tribes) first go into exile in Assyria and then
later migrate northward, never to return, losing their identify and becoming
the "Lost Ten Tribes" of Israel. Meanwhile, Judah is undergoing the
same corrupting process, also ignores her prophets, and is also destroyed
except for a remnant. The remnant of Judah is taken into captivity to (one
city) Babylon for the next seventy years. Cyrus of Persia-Media then conquers
Babylon and frees the Judah (Jews) remnant to return to Canaan and build the
second temple. Then the whole process starts over again. The people (Judah
remnant) turn away from God again; the elite leadership of "vipers"
(as John the Baptist called them) grow more and more arrogant and less and less
wise. They conspire to bring about Jesus’ death and fail to recognize their spiritual savior as portrayed by their prophets. Then the leaders plunge their nation
once again headlong into war and inevitable destruction, this time at the hands of the Roman
army in 70 A.D. Most die, but a remnant of Judah is scattered among many nations for the next two thousand years while the
Christians have their turn to carry the torch of God during the presently
ending "Age of the Gentiles". This is Israel’s history to the present
time.
Those
"who beat" the "escaped of the House of Jacob" and the
"remnant of Israel" are the leaders and power elite who persecute and
"hold captive" those who follow God during the trial period at the
end of this age. The Lord through Isaiah tell us that the people, once liberated
from their leaders who ‘beat them’ will lean/rely directly only on the Holy One
of Israel. Notice "only a remnant" of Jacob and Israel returns – the
faithful and true.
The
intellectual elite of our world appears daily in newspapers and on our televisions.
They are the "experts" who write the books about marriage, although
they are divorced three times. They tell us how to bring up our children, and
yet their own children rebel against them. They know everything about anything,
and there is no doubt about it. Ask if they believe in God and somber tones
cover the smirk and smile. And yet, the
question of God is the essential question of all philosophy, all ideologies,
and all human understanding. If this most essential question were on
a test, it would count for ninety-nine percent of the grade and the remaining
one percent of the test would directly depend on the answer to the first. If
you are wrong about God, then you are wrong about very much else as well. Yet
the intellectual and political elite are all confirmed in the opinion that
"religion is the opiate of the masses." Those who won’t say this in
public believe it in private, as their very actions and behavior betray them.
If our
leaders are wrong about the first question, what hope do we have for a peaceful
world guided by wisdom. My answer for that is zero. What do you think? Many of
us deny or question the existence of the very One who gave us existence
Notice
how similar that time is to ours. Ends of ages have highly similar
circumstances and types of people. Human history is monotonously similar,
repeating cycles of sameness. But there is evolutionary progress; the remnant
groups have a survival advantage that results from biologic factors that modify
the capacity for spiritual receptivity. The Adamic genes should therefore
become increasingly prevalent over long periods of time. The comment of 47:10
on science as the cause of our going astray is well taken. True religion and
true science are complementary and never contradictory, however man’s error
exists in forming a religion
about science that
denies or ignores God and true religion. This religion of science believes that
science has all the answers for man’s every problem, that science is the only
true knowledge, that man doesn’t need the axiom of God, that man can completely
understand his world through science, and that science offers proof and
certainty. All of these beliefs are false, but they go unrecognized and
unchallenged.
Also,
the present world leaders are misleaders; they spend no time truly addressing our global problems such as
overpopulation, pollution, nvironmental degradation, rapid loss of biologic
species, ongoing ozone depletion, global social and political unrest, and
increasing nuclear weapons proliferation. They talk a lot but actually do very
little, after all it may ruffle the feathers of some powerful corporation. This
planet is being and has been, raped by the wealthy and powerful. Nary a thought is given to putting
back what we take out. The
sole motivation is to get as much wealth and power as fast as possible. Because
of this, when Melchizedek steps in, we will be in the middle of many major
problems. But God is not going to let the many good people of the world be
destroyed by the strong and powerful. Sovereignty
will be taken away from the present leadership elite and given to those who
live according to God’s ways:
Revelation 11: 15
Then the seventh
angel blew his trumpet…
Saying, "the power to rule over the
World belongs now to our Lord and His
Messiah, and he will rule forever and ever.
The
word Messiah is Christos in Greek. Christ means Messiah. Unfortunately, Jesus was surnamed for just what he
was not. Also notice that "our Lord"
and "his Messiah" are two different personages in this verse.
"Our Lord" is God and "his Messiah" is God’s chosen
representative for our world, Melchizedek. The future always comes in through the minority. The last battle won, "conventional
wisdom" is one step from the scrap heap. We fear and resist change, no
matter what its content. Nearly all-conventional wisdom today is wrong! Wrong
about science, wrong about politics, wrong about people, wrong about
philosophy, wrong about religion and wrong about most anything else we can
think of. Our leaders, our intellectuals and our so-called elite will have the
same constant refrain right up to the hour when they are removed from their
power and prestige. The refrain is "everything is fine, going just as we
expected." This is why they are so "confounded" in Micah 7:16
(above) when the World Messiah steps into the fray. It’s time we started
thinking for ourselves and stop buying the illusions, which are cast up in
front of us by the "leadership class" and the media; one working hand
in hand with the other.
Since
there are no definite messianic references here, the prophet is addressing the
leadership of ancient Judah and Israel. Note that Zion was literally plowed under along with all of
Jerusalem during their wars with Rome (1st and 2nd century AD). Throughout the Old Testament
prophets there is a recurring theme of corrupt, arrogant, and suicidal leadership
who come to the fore at the ends of ages.
Ultimately, these power elite lead an acquiescing majority of people to their
destruction at the hands of the Assyrians, and then Babylonians, and then the
Romans, and now the…? After all, God
is the source of all reality.
The great majority of our modern "leaders,"
"intellectuals," and "experts," who consider themselves our
elite, are atheists, agnostic, or merely give lip service to God. Consider how
utterly confounded and shocked they would be if their worldview were suddenly
presented with an irrefutable fact to the contrary. They would surely "put
their hand to their mouth" and more. Humankind’s long standing questions
about who we are, where we come from, where we are going , the purpose of life,
and whether or not there’s a God are about to be answered definitely and with
authority. And lest we worry about life losing some of its surprise,
uncertainty, and adventure; we should remember that God is infinite in all
dimensions; there is always an inexhaustible infinity yet to be unfolded and
explored – filled with surprise and adventure beyond not only what we do
imagine, but beyond also what we ever could
imagine.
Evil tends to be much better organized, goal oriented, and assertive than good
on our world and I’m afraid that the reigns of power (all types) have been and
are in the hands of those who would use them to further their own ends rather
than for the welfare of those that are in their charge. This leadership elite of mankind has
become so powerful that a superhuman effort will be needed to overcome it.
What
else could chariots, riding upon the wind, with men and audible noise be, other
than airplanes? These planes are probably coming to the Holy land for purposes
of war, the messianic war where "all the nations" come against
Israel. Notice that the planes come from every direction except the north,
perhaps because Gog and the army from the north has that direction covered.
Directly north of Israel, lies Moscow the capital of Russia and scriptural
evidence can be marshaled in support of this Gog/Russia thesis. The presence of
airplanes dates the time of Enoch’s prophecy to our present modern age. Also drought, thirst, and failure of
things to grow and yield are frequently referred to in the Messianic period. The drought developing in the Middle East
and other parts of the world should get progressively worse if we are truly
living in the Messianic time period. I would also expect unraveling in our political,
financial, and other institutions to greatly accelerate soon. The Urantia Book,
as do the prophets, places the heaviest burden of blame on the lawlessness,
corruption, and deceit of the ruling class, who lead the masses astray.
UB 1074 The real undoing of
Judah was effected by a corrupt
and rich ring
of politicians operating under the rule of a boy-king,
Manasseh…the fall
of Assyria, and the ascending of Egypt, brought deliverance to Judah
for a time, and the country
folk took over.
UB 1074 The attempt to suppress freedom of
speech (by the power elite) led
Elijah, Amos, and Hosea
to begin their secret writing, and this was
the real beginning of the Jewish and Christian Bibles. (My parenthesis)
The rod
has blossomed; arrogance
has budded, lawlessness has grown into
a rod of wickedness. Our country began in Godliness, but an evil crop has been sown
and the harvest has blossomed into deceit and arrogance. Keep watch while this
increasingly goes to seed. Our leaders are trampling our Constitution and the
rights of our once proud citizens. There are many strange things going on in
Washington that are completely unreported by the media establishment. We need
to ask questions and dig under the surface a little to find the dark side of
current national and world events. Next we have:
Malachi 3:5
But first I will step
forward to contend against those who have no
fear of me: who practice sorcery, who commit
adultery, who swear
falsely, who cheat laborers of their hire, and who subvert the cause
of the widow, orphan, and stranger – said the Lord of Hosts…
The
immediate and direct confrontation with the enemies of God describes
Melchizedek’s rather than Jesus’ mission. Who are these enemies? None other
than the present power elite of our world; our political, financial and
intellectual controllers in positions of power; often behind the scene and out
of view.
The
people who will go the most wrong in the messianic time period upcoming are the
same people who went the most wrong in ancient times as well; i.e. the Northern
Tribes, who are Israel,
who in turn are the
tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, foremost among the Ten Northern Tribes. The
Northern Tribes then become the Lost Ten Tribes who migrate to northern and
western Europe, and then later to America, surfacing today after 2000 years as
Christians, some of whom occupy the equivalent to the "promised land"
of yesterday-- America. Ephraim is very probably America today and Manasseh is
very probably Great Britain. The "wicked of Ephraim and Manasseh" are
the leaders and power elite of these two countries. American is Ephraim because
the Lost Ten Tribes first settled in Northern and Western Europe, from there
the Lost Ten Tribes later settled America. The bravest, most courageous, most
freedom loving and most religious of Europe settled America. The "cream of
the crop" of the entire world moved west. America is directly related to
Ephraim of ancient Israel. Both America and ancient Northern
Israel started out on the right tract with the love and blessings of God. When
both their wealth grew, both abandoned God and went chasing after the false
gods of money, sex, and power. Both had leaderships that led the people (the
majority) far away from the sustenance of truth. Deceit, lawlessness and decay
beset Israel and beset us today. Israel’s prophets arose and were ignored even
as they were killed and imprisoned. America, like Israel, will ignore her
prophets as well. The outcome will be the same, making for a precise repeat of
history. The
beginning is like the end. America, like the Northern Tribes, is
blessed with fruitfulness, bounty, and God’s grace. Both became proud and
defiant, lawless and licentious, arrogant and capricious. Both become blind,
deaf, and dumb to the events around them that ultimately swallow them up. Not
only is America Ephraim by heredity, but America is also Ephraim by history. It is from America and Great Britain
that the most destructive leaders of Christendom will come and they will be the
ones who lead the persecution of the elect. They are, and will be, "the
wicked of Ephraim and Manasseh" of Dead Sea Scroll prophecy.
America’s power elite
(the wicked of Ephraim) are those referred to who "sell nations,"
"lead many astray," and who lead Ephraim (America) astray. Next we move to the Habakkuk Commentary, Dead Sea Scrolls 1QpHabakkuk.
The
Teacher of Righteousness again explains that rather than God bringing the
Kittim against its people, He
(God) will turn the tables on the power elite and instead "execute the
judgment of the nations by the hand of His elect." The elect we are told have eyes "too
pure to behold evil." Truly, such as these are worthy children of the
Father.
1Enoch 51:6 In those days they
(wicked, power elite) shall not be saved by
gold and by silver (Ezekiel 7:19).
1Enoch 61:7
Trouble shall come
upon them (the power elite).
Clearly, the powers that be are brought to judgment and justice. The Son of man
described here seems to fit better with the activities of Messiah/Melchizedek
rather than Jesus. The Lord of spirits is God as previously indicated.
Chapter 62 contains similar
information about the judgment of the power elite.
There
is a covert war on God on this world and it is waged by the powerful elite, the
"intellectuals," the propagandists, the government, and the media
establishment. Our public schools are instruments for the indoctrination of an
alternate, unacknowledged, value system of no-values; the official,
unannounced, state religion. This secular humanistic state is slowly enslaving
its citizens and will lead them into crisis. The war against God has only one possible outcome,
and that outcome is, and forever will be, failure! The most difficult task is teaching
the well intentioned that such a war actually exists. The well intentioned project their own
intentions onto the intentions of others, because the reality of evil intent is
so totally foreign and so totally irrational to them. But evil and iniquity does exist and unless we learn to recognize
it, we will continue to be its victims. Jesus has spoken well: "Be as wise as serpents and as gentle as doves." To be
as wise as serpents we must first recognize and understand those serpents of
wrong choosing.
1Enoch
speaks about a race of people who are descended from the offspring of "the
sons of God who mated with the daughters of men." This race is referred to
as the Nephilim, which corresponds to the Nodite race of the Urantia Book. This
inter-racial union between Nodites and the daughters of man is blamed for the
evil and sin that resulted in "the flood," by which God purified the
earth. Enoch again identifies "an evil race" which is associated with
the evil harvest of the messianic period. This raises the question of whether
or not there are still present, relatively pure line descendants of this
ancient Nodite race? Is this the race that has been associated with royalty
throughout the centuries? If so, this would explain the royal links between the
ruling class, the Power Elite, and the secret societies. Who are they, where
are they, and what role, if any, will they play in the messianic period?
In
105:13, "Those who were from heaven" probably refers to the Nephilim
or Nodites. Among these are the "sons of God who cavorted with the
daughters of men" (Genesis 6). In Enoch 10:18, we are told that the offspring
of these "watchers" who fell from heaven are destroyed in the
"last days" judgment because they "have tyrannized over
mankind." 1Enoch thus reveals to us the presence of an ancient and ongoing
"evil race" (? Nodites) who have existed throughout the history of
mankind. And so we can begin to understand the Psalm "Why do the heathen
rage and the nations conspire against the Lord and his anointed" (Psalms 2).
The concept of an evil, world order that attempts to impose itself over mankind
should be studied in detail in our attempt to understand the forces that are
shaping our world situation today. In order to be the bearers of truth, one
must be able to bear ridicule, slander, and contempt. World government could be
a wonderful development and a great benefit to mankind. However, ask yourself,
if our developing world order is really so beneficial, why has it developed and
flourished in secrecy, without public debate and knowledge.
There are scores of international institutions that most of us have never heard
of and know nothing about. Why not? Consider the World Trade Organization so
recently in the news. How many know that this organization represents the
interests of the ever-more powerful international corporate elite who use the
political power and auspices of the United States Government to facilitate and
maintain their success. These interests care nothing about people, jobs,
environmental concerns, or equity. They care only about profit, control, and
power. Government has become an arm of the corporate interest. Is this the
world system that we want? How many of us know that the United States law is
being changed by Federal Executive Orders directly by the President, bypassing
Congress, in order to prepare for the day when the United States Constitution
is made subservient to the United Nations Charter? How many know that the
United Nations Charter has no bill of rights and no protection for the
individual against the arbitrary power of the World State? The Book of Enoch reveals to us that the core of such
"nefarious plans" has ancient roots dating from the very origins of
rebellion on this planet. Is it really surprising to anyone who understands the
Urantia Book that our developing world system has
points of contact with the same forces of evil which ‘conspired’ to bring to an end the life of the Son of
Man. However, it would be a mistake to give these "principalities" of
evil too much credit. Mankind itself bears the greatest burden of blame, for
without its willing assistance, such principalities could have no power and no influence.
The kingdom of heaven within, established in each and every heart, is the only
true antidote for the evil, sin, and iniquity that are present in our world
today that acts under the guise of good will. If we don’t recognize this
deceitful aspect of our world, we will become its victims. Consider the
following quotes which have been chosen from the website www.thewinds.org in regard to this secretly operating
power elite:
The Power Elite
From the days of Spartians Wieshophf,
Karl Marx, Trotski, Belacoon,
Rosa Luxenberg, and Emma
Goldman, this world conspiracy played a
definite role in the tragedy of the French Revolution. It has been the
mainspring of every
subversive movement of
the nineteenth century. And
now at last this band of extraordinary
personalities from the
underworld
of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people
by the hair on their head and have become the undisputed masters of that
enormous empire. (Winston
Churchill stated to
London press in 1922.)
The World is governed by very different personages from what is imagined
by those who are not behind the scenes. (Benjamin Disraeli, First
Prime Minister of England,
1844)
The real rulers in Washington
are invisible and exercise power from behind
the scenes. (U.S.
Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter)
The real menace of our
Republic is the invisible government which like a
giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities states and nation.
(John F. Hylan, Mayor
of New York, 1918-1925.)
The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element
in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S. since the day of
Andrew Jackson. (President
Franklin D. Roosevelt in
a letter dated
November 21, 1933.)
The Trilateral commission is the
international…[It] is intended to be the
vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking
interests by seizing control of the political government of the United
States. The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort
to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power – POLITICAL,
MONETARY, INTELLECTUAL, and ECCLESIASTICAL. (U.S.
Senator Barry
Goldwater, Republican candidate for President,
1964, in
his book, "With no Apologies")
One may
ask why there hasn’t been more press coverage of such a well-established
movement. How have its antagonists been so effectively excoriated, ridiculed,
and labeled as crackpots? For those who think that the "Free Press"
is free and uncontrolled, consider the following:
We are grateful to the
Washington Post, The New York Times, Time
Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our
meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years.
It would have
been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if
we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years.
But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards
a world government. The
supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite
and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto determination
[read that "democracy"] practiced in past centuries. (David Rockefeller,
founder of the aforementioned Trilateral Commission,in an address
to a meeting of that organization in June of 1991.)
There is no such thing, at this
date of the world’s history, in America, as
an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of
you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know
beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for
keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of
you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would
be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets
looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one
issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be
gone. The
business of the journalists is to destroy the truth; to lie
outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his
country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it and
what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are tools and vassals
of rich
men behind the scenes. We
are the jumping jacks, they pull the
strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the
property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes. (John Swinton,
former Chief of Staff of the most powerful and prestigious
newspaper on earth, The New York Times,
when asked to give a toast
to the "free press" at the New York Press Club.)
The media looks for minor
details to report on – ‘what the Group of 7
Finance ministers had for dinner’ – instead of concentrating on the fact that
they are orchestrating
the whole global economic, environmental,military,
and political infrastructure of the world. (Joan Veon, Financial advisor
and international journalist.)
Above this race of men
stand an immense and tutelary power,
which takes
upon itself alone to secure their gratifications and to watch over their
fate…After having thus successively taken each member of the
community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme
power then extends its arm over the whole community…The will of man
is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided…It does not tyrannize, but
it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each
nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious
animals, of which the
government is the shepherd. (Alexis
De
Tocqueville in Democracy in America, 1840.)
The bewildered herd are a
problem. We’ve got to prevent their rage and
trampling. We’ve got to distract them. They should be watching the
Superbowl or sitcoms or violent movies or something. Every once in a
while you call on them to chant meaningless slogans like ‘Support Our
Troops’, and you’ve got to keep them pretty scared because unless
they’re scared properly and frightened of all kinds of devils that are going
to destroy them from outside or inside or somewhere, they may start to
think, which is very dangerous because they’re
not competent to think, and
therefore it’s important to distract and to marginalize them. (Noam
Chomsky, on the Power
Elite’s conception of democracy in America.)
Assemble a mob of men and women previously conditioned by a daily
reading of the newspapers; treat them to amplified band music, bright
lights…and in next to no time you can reduce them to a state of almost
mindless sub humanity. Never
before have so few been in a position to
make fools, maniacs, or criminals of so many. (Aldous
Huxley in
The Devils of
Loudon.)
I think the subject which will
be of most importance politically is mass
psychology…Although this science will be diligently studied, it will be
rigidly confined to
the governing class. The
populace will not be
allowed to
know how its convictions were generated. (Bertrand
Russell in The Impact of Science on Society.)
The man who never looks into a
newspaper is better informed than he
who reads them insomuch as he who knows nothing is nearer the truth
than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors. (Thomas Jefferson)
These
are the voices of highly respected individuals of great intelligence, many of them
now of legendary stature. Such voices, independently attesting to the same
truths, must be taken with utmost respect and consideration. Manipulation and
control of values, attitudes, and ideas is much in evidence during our daily
lives and are the only evidence necessary to confirm the reality of these
statements. But one can not see what one is not aware of.
There
is an alternate media growing up on the internet, which portrays the other
unreported side of events. One must sift, judge, and correlate all the
available facts before making an interpretation. Next,we focus on our corrupt
financial system, which is a direct descendent of the one developed in Babylon
four thousand years ago.
I see in the near future a
crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes
me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war,
corporations have
been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places
will follow, and the
money power of the country will endeavor to prolong
its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is
aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this
moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even
in the midst of war. (Abraham
Lincoln – in a letter
written to William
Elkin less than five months before he was assassinated.)
When plunder becomes a way of
life for a group of men living together
in society, they create for themselves in the course of time, a legal system
that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it. (Frederick Bastiat –
1801-1850, in Economic
Sophisms.)
The Power Elite
If the American people ever
allow private banks to control the issue of
their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and
corporations that will grow up around [the banks], will deprive the
people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on
the continent their fathers conquered. (Thomas
Jefferson)
The
system of banking [is] a blot left in all our Constitutions, which, dominate
its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign
exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to
influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the
business world. (Prof.
Carroll Quigley in Tragedy and Hope)
In a small Swiss city sits an
international organization so obscure and
secretive…Control of the institution, the Bank for International
Settlements, lies with some of the world’s most powerful and least
visible men: the heads of 32 central banks, officials able to shift billions
of dollars and alter the course of economies at the stroke of a pen. (Keith
Bradsher of the New
York Times, August 5,
1995)
Banking
was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them
the power to create deposits, and with the flick of the pen they will create
enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all
the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for
this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain
the slaves of Bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue
to create deposits. (Sir Josiah Stamp - President of the Bank of England in the 1920's, and the second richest man
in Britain.)
[The Great Depression
resulting from the Stock
Market crash] was not
accidental. It was a
carefully contrived occurrence…The international
bankers sought to bring about a condition of despair here so they might
emerge as rulers of us all. (Rep.
McFadden testified in
Congress, 1933.
There were at least two attempts on his life by gunfire. He died of
suspected poisoning after
attending a banquet.)
The Federal Reserve [Banks] are
one of the most corrupt institutions
the world has ever seen. There is not a man within the sound of my
voice who does not know that this
Nation is run by the International
Bankers. (Rep. Louis McFadden)
History shows that the money changers have used every form of
abuse,intrigue,
deceit and violent means possible to maintain control over governments by
controlling the money and the issuance of it. (President, James A. Madison)
Government by the elite substitutes for God and is the answer to every need and
every problem. The High Priest is replaced by the scientist who knows all,
explains all, and who conquers all. Man has put his trust and faith in
"science" and in government. God doesn’t seem to be necessary. Man is
the measure of all things. Man can succeed on his own, with his own brain and
his own laws and his own values. Gone are the moral strictures, gone are the
Ten Commandments, gone are right and wrong, gone are accountability,
responsibility, and duty. Now we are told – if it feels good, do it! You owe it
to yourself. You are entitled.
We are
comfortable, we have what we want and that is all we really care about.
Nevertheless, those who seek control over others are in a desperate, doomed to
fail, last ditch effort to further their own ends. They are allowed by God to
proceed only as an instrument to perfect those who would do God’s will and
stand against the tide. When their (the power elite) function is complete, they
will be removed from power; forever.
Now,
lets look at a few quotes about our political system. In another book by
William Greider, Who
Will Tell the People,
1992, the author tells us the truth about our broken democratic process:
The
blunt message of this book is that American
democracy is in much deeper trouble than most people wish to acknowledge.
Behind the reassuring
facade, the regular election contests and so forth, the substantive meaning of
self-government has been hollowed out. What exists behind the formal shell is a
systemic breakdown of the shared civic values we call democracy.
Citizens are cut out of the politics surrounding the most important governing
questions. The representative system has undergone a grotesque distortion of
its original purpose. The connective tissues that in different ways once linked
ordinary people to governing—political parties, the media, the secondary
mediating institutions—no longer function reliably. At the highest levels
of government, the power to decide things has instead gravitated from the many
to the few, just as ordinary citizens suspect.
Ephesians. 6:12
For we wrestle not
against flesh and blood, but
against
principalities, against powers, against
the rulers of darkness of this world…(the
Power Elite)
That
this is the messianic time period is indicated by "the Lord"
returning to punish the high and mighty ones, those elite leaders.

Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand by Edmund J. Roache.
