Russia and China

The pulsation of the march towards universal globalism is getting louder and louder. For those with “eyes to see and ears to hear” the map of the final events is getting clearer and clearer. Read the prophets! All the prophets of the Hebrews and the ‘prophet’ for the people of the reNewed Covenant (New Testament) each carry clues to the panorama of the Drama of the Ages that is preparing for is grand finale and the return of the messiah.

Time Magazine Persons of the Year for 1993 – Yassir Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin

Rabin - "I've said more than once in the context of the Arab-Israeli conflict, we make peace, or we negotiate meaningful steps towards peace, with enemies. Sometimes bitter enemies."

The year of 2004 set the stage for the final revelation of the One World Order. Whereas George Bush Jr. was “given the crown” of the presidency in the year 2000, he earned the crown this year and become the front runner in America’s role in the globalists dream of world domination. The clarion call of using preemptive strikes to force the nations of the world to accept the one world domination is only one of many clues of the future foreign and national policy of the Bush administration.

The Seven year Oslo Accord

We have set forth the thesis that seven year “Land for Peace Oslo Accord” as a pathway for peace between Israel and the Palestinians has already occurred. This accord was designed to place Israeli-“occupied” Gaza Strip and eventually the rest of the West Bank under Palestinian rule. That this peace accord did occur according the lunar Hebrew festival calendar of the Lord gives it even more validity. This peace accord has already been Dalia Rabin-Pelossof Speaks on Oslo Ten Years Later recognized as a peace accord that affects not only the Middle East but the entire world. The mantra is that peace, any peace whether forced or willingly by Israel will give peace to all people. This in itself is an amazing concept and that it is accepted by the nations of the world suggests that the Name of the God of Israel is penetrating the consciousness of all people. Yet man will not bring the peace only grief and suffering by their quest for power, greed and control. Only the coming of the Messiah will bring peace.

Yitzhak Rabin shakes hands with Yasser Arafat on White House lawn, September 13, 1994.

The historic Oslo Accord was signed and letters were enchanged beteen Arafat and Rabin on the lawn of the White House on September 13, 1993. It was witnessed by the whole world as Palestinian Chairman Yasser Arafat shook the hands of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin with the Masonic handshake while President Bill Clinton stood behind with hands wide open like a savior to the world. The Oslo Peace Accord lasted for seven years between Rosh Hashanah 1993 to Rosh Hashanah 2000. Peace with the ‘elect’ of Israel collapsed when prime minister elect Ariel Sharon mounted the Temple Wall and read about the Gog-Magog War on Ezekiel 39 while in the presence of the golden dome of the Mosque of Omar on the Temple Mount and Yassir Arafat declared an intifada against the people of Israel.

From all appearances the Intifada of the Palestinians which erupted within twenty four hours after that ascent to the mount effectively nullified the Oslo Accord. The Seals of Revelation are officially opened with the 1^st White Seal. Three and one half years later on Passover, 2004, it appears that the on the heels of the 1^st White Seal of Revelation, the 2^nd Red Seal also began. On April 5, 2004, the Ayatollah Mohammed Bakir Khakim through his leading Iranian cleric, Kadhem al-Husseini Al-Haeri sent the Iranian Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr to raise up a national revolt against the United States (Big Satan) and the coalition of nations supporting the War against Iraq with military troops. Here we see Iran, the modern day Persia supported by (Red) Russia along with the support of many (Red) Islamic states supported by (Red) China fulfilling end time vision of Pope John Paul II and his mentor, Cardinal Wyszynski of Warsaw as the final international prime actors in the race for domination of the future one world order, the “Red Internationale”.

Throughout 2004 we watched as the “great sword” of the red rider beheaded one foreigner after another. One by one, international companies and countries crumbled and reversed their military contracts and agreements, removed their employees and military from the Middle East. When in the history of man did the entire military and foreign policy of a country suddenly reverse 180 degrees due to the beheading of one of their soldiers or contractors? This might occur if a military general, a rich noble or national leader but a normal everyday citizen? Even so when did a “great sword” cause the world to “fear” and for “all men to turn against one another? As the ‘sword’ unsheathes itself, the nations of the world rise up, not against the bearer of the sword but against one another.

The European Union and ancient Rome

In the meantime, the revival of the ancient Roman Empire is occurring before our eyes as prophesied by the prophet Daniel. Making a powerful thrust on the international scene, the European Union became official in 2004. This “Union” is founded with the ten (10) former “kingdoms” of the Roman Empire – Austria, Belgium, England, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain along with an additional fifteen (15) nations. The EU constitution was also adopted with the purposeful deletion of any reference to God or the historical Christian foundations of the European states. The Euro as a common currency pushed the American dollar to its lowest value in years and the EU voted to form a united military.

The power and might of this economic powerhouse was seeking international status. With aggressive trade and political maneuvering, the Neighborhood Plan adopted neighboring states and offered free access to trades and services, economic capital and human resources. Here they will be entitled to the vast shared economic might of the EU as long as they adhere and enhance the political goals of the EU (Rome/Edom).

This year also in 2004, the Nation of Israel became part of the EU Neighborhood Plan. By following the ways of the nations instead of following the commands of their God in the Torah, we will soon see how the Zionist leaders of the Nation of Israel have not only compromised their political freedom but also the spiritual freedom of the Jews to follow the dictates of the God of Israel.

The global ‘neighborhood’ for Israel as envisioned by the globalist in the EU include Cuba and possibly soon the nation of Syria. The goal of the Zionist leaders of Israel to link themselves with the countries that supported the Holocaust of their past and the nations of the Middle East that desire their ultimate destruction is almost complete. Will the remnant of Jews soon understand that their national freedom will depend upon the Moshiach (Messiah) of Israel and not an appointed king, prime minister or ruler? This is one reason why many Jewish scholars are beginning to understand that the globalists of the world and the Zionist of Israel are vying for the same goal. The historical roots of many of the modern day Zionists can be traced to the last great (false) messiah of the Jews, Sabbatai Zevi in 1666 and are known as the modern Sabbateans and the Dolmeh.

The strengths and weakness of the EU are for all to behold. The united military will give it its strength and is weakness will be seen in its multiple trade and political agreements and the dependence on a common currency. What it does give is the finishing touches of “the toes of the feet that were partly of iron and partly of clay” on the statue of King Nebuchadnezzar as a shadow picture that one of the principle actors in the final act of the Drama of the Ages has entered the stage.

Russia and China

Since Passover, 2004, the veil of transparency has been lifted over the multiple-layered tapestry of Russia and China and their undercover involvement with the enemies of Israel. The “Gog” of Ezekiel and the “two-hundred million man army” of Revelation are now making overtures of a military and economic pact between themselves. China and Russia are currently fierce competitors in the race to export military arms and conduct military war games with the countries of Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Sudan, Syria and the United Arab Emirates. All of these countries are also considered adversaries of Israel.

At the time, China is livid when the Israeli-made Harpy assault drones they bought years ago and sent back for repairs are now being prevented by the United States from being upgraded and repaired and returned to their country. At the same time, a diplomatic crisis is erupting between Israel and Russia over the latter’s intent to deliver advanced SA-10 air defense system to Syria like those used to protect Moscow plus shoulder held SA-18 anti-air missiles. Suddenly the air superiority of the Israeli airforce contracted with the SA-10 shield protecting Iran against Israeli warplanes and cruise missiles.

Let us reconsider that Russia is the step child or descendants of the ancient Persian Empire that ruled in the land of present day Iran. The affinity of these two cultures comes from their common roots. All through the year 2004, Iran played cat and mouse with the International Atomic Energy Agency who at the request of the United Nations was seeking to prevent any further nuclear proliferation. As the veil lifted the evidence became transparent. The Russians were the primary suppliers of nuclear technology to the Iranians. The Chinese have come on board now to provide missile technology so that that their missiles can penetrate to the heart of Israel. Here is the land that houses and protects the command centers for most of the terror groups to destroy Israel: al Qaeda, Hezbollah, and Hamas.

The political war games are getting more vicious between Bush, Sharon and Putin. Putin is livid with the United States for meddling now only of the sale of the assets of the Russian oil company, Yukos, but also meddling with the democratic process in Ukrainia with the overturned election by the Ukrainian Supreme Court of Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych favored by Moscow. In the heels of the Orange Revolution came the nomination of the anti-Moscow opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko with the Orange Revolution and the sale of the assets of the Russian oil company, Yukos.

At the same time, Putin and his intelligence team have cornered Arial Sharon over the flight of Russian capital to the Banks of Israel from the money oligarchs of Russia. These include Boris Berizovsky, former director of ORT (Russian Public Television) who is living in self imposed exile in London after fleeing Russia under criminal indictment and Mikhail Khodorovsky the former owner of YUKOS, who is now imprison in a Russian jail for supporting political opposition in Russia. With personal representatives in Jerusalem, the moneyed rich in Russia are transferring vast sums of money to Israel outside of Putin grasp. Included in this money trail, non-Jewish assets such as from members of the Russian Christian Orthodox Church who are being protected by Israel under Sharon’s version of the Law of Return which forbids prosecution or extradiction of people or assets unless laws are broken.

A World Religion for a World Peace

The election of a new Pope

As the religious and temporal world move into the middle of the first decade of the 21^st century one of the most anticipated events in geo-political-religio history will be the passing of Pope John Paul II as one of the longest reigning popes in history and the election by the Vatican Conclave of the 265^th Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. As students of prophecy anticipate this event and its impact on the prophecies of the prophets to Israel, Judah and the followers of the reNewed covenant of Yahshua ben Yosef (Jesus son of Joseph), it is well to review the recent history of the papacy and it thrust to become one of the main contenders in the future and soon-coming One World Order.

The “Holy Father” Ioannes Paulus PP.II, Karol Wojtyla 16.X.1978

In a world in which global interests were competing against each other, it was recognized early by the newly elected Karol Josef Woytyla as Pope John Paul II that he was thrust into a global competition of who will establish the first One-world system of government that this planet earth has ever had under the modern society of nations. With six billion inhabitants living out their lives with multiple purposes of intent and choice, the stakes for the ultimate prize for power, greed and control is high – supremely high. Such a world will be radically different than anything that you or I ever can expect, all depending on the outcome of the victor.

This was the world seen by the newly crowned Karol Woytyla when he emerged on the eighth ballot on the second day, October 14, 1978, of the papal conclave in the Sistine Chapel as Pope John Paul II. Here was the recognized successor to millions of Roman Catholics as the 263^rd successor to recognized apostolic seat of the Peter the Apostle.

The Life of Karol Josef Woytyla

Then suddenly there broke upon the international scene a pope who would shatter the papal image and thrust the papacy into the center of the global competition. He quickly gained the confidence of the masses of Catholics as a man invested with a special destiny.

Born on May 18, 1920 during the time of a solar eclipse, he grew up in an obscure hamlet called Wadowidce in the foothills of the Beskids mountain range about 170 miles south of Warsaw Poland as a son to a former soldier of the Hapsburg Empire. Karol Josef Woytyla as the 264^th Pope also fitted the ancient prophecy that he was born under the sign of labor solis or the Latin expression for a solar eclipse.

His early life was common to his era: a two room apartment home, worker in the Zabrzowek Quarry and later as a boiler-room helper in the Belgium industrial plant, Solvay Chemical Works. He became a confidant of the tailor-mystic Jan Tyranowski, a skilled soccer goalie, a budding and talented amateur guitarist, a drama poet student in the Rapsodyczny Theater of Krakow, an avid skier, writer of ten published books, a master of more than ten languages and three doctorates: philosophy, theology and phenomenology. (Malachi Martin, The Keys of This Blood, Simon and Schuster, NY, 1990 p. 61)

As a young man, he became part of the Polish underground during World War II and reputed to be part of the espionage team that secreted the first Nazi V-2 rocket to the allies in London. Even under the noses of the Nazi, he began his seminary training in 1942 in the clandestine “conspiratorial seminary” founded by Polish Cardinal Adam Stefan Sapieha, Archbishop of Krakow.

Quickly within the Catholic hierarchy, the firsts in the life of Wojtyla began: 1946: first Polish priest to be ordained after four years of training; 1958: youngest auxiliary bishop in Polish history; 1964: youngest archbishop in the diocese of Krakow; 1978: first Polish Pope in history, and first non-Italian Pope in four fifty five years. (Ibid 61)

For the second time in only thirty three days, a Pope had been elected by the Vatican Conclave. Cardinal Albino Luciani of Venice as Pope John I was laid to rest in the catacombs of the Vatican after he suddenly demised as some suspected of suspicious conditions.

The Assassination or Murder of Pope Paul I

Albino Luciani, known as the “Smiling Pope, was one of the Cardinals of the Papal Conclave who was not known to have ties to big banking, corporate and international moneyed interests. He born October 17, 1912 near Belluno, Italy to a pious yet poor family and in a manner like his personal master, Jesus the Christ, gave up a life of as a wealthy ‘elder’ in church society. What was also thought by many of his colleagues was that Luciani was an “intellectual light weight” yet would present a public image of the Vatican as a God endowed institution sanctified by the Christian God that would morally protect the faithful and physically protect the flocks of the poor and the dispossessed. Luciani truly was a people’s pastor and a champion of the poor and the dispossessed.

Albino Luciani as Pope John Paul 1 “The Smiling Pope” (August 26, 1978 – September 28, 1978)

At the same time, did they think that Albino Luciani would protect the international corruption of the Vatican Bank, called by David Yallop in his book, In God’s Name, “Vatican Incorporated”? This budding international banking and fraud scandal would soon be revealed which rocked the securities market of the United States, toppled the giant Franklin Bank and left the saving and loan association reeling for year to the cost of ten billion U.S. tax dollars. Vatican Incorporated had become like “Herod Incorporated” nineteen hundred years before in the days of Jesus, a powerful religious institution corrupted by power, greed and control.

According to the public Vatican press which was controlled by Cardinal Villot, the Secretary of State, the early demise of Pope John Paul I was announced initially to be caused by a myocardial infarction and later changed to a personal accidental overdose of one of his medications, a blood thinner called Coumadin. He was not found for seven hours after death in which his face was described by the domestic Sister Vincenzia as twisted in agony. An Italian State inquest and an autopsy were denied even though it was Italian law. He was quickly embalmed and his body removed without even receiving the sacrament of extreme unction. Within twelve hours, the Papal 19 chamber rooms were stripped of all belongings and the floors scrubbed and polished. The embalmers, the Signoracci brothers “attempted to remodel the face so his death agony would be changed to show a calm expression” (Christiano p 5) Later investigators would charge that embalming effectively covered up any trail of foul play in the death of Albino Luciani.

Behind the scene, according to the Catholic historians, Malcolm Martin in The Jesuits and David Yallop in his book, In God’s Name, the Abbe of Nantes in Murder at the Vatican wrote that it was “the most successful of ‘perfect crimes” from Cardinal Villot, to the domestics, the secretaries and physicians within the Vatican to the Swiss Guards and the Italian Police.

Ordained in 1935, Albino Luciani became a bishop in 1958 and the Cardinal of Venice in 1973. He was a fervent believer in the ecumenical movement, praised as a liberal with a mission to change the church’s stance on contraception, lived and believed like a conservative with a crusading desire to reduce the wealth of the church, clean up the corruption and scandal in the Vatican Bank and dismiss a large number of ranking Masonic cardinals.

Giovanni Montini as Pope Paul VI “The Pilgrim Pope” (1963 – August 6, 1978)

This should not have surprised the Vatican prelates for in 1972, after the Milanian Mafioso had taken control of the Banco Ambrosiano under the directorship of Roberto Calvi, they made a move on the Canco Cattolica del Veneto which was called the ‘Priest’s Bank’. Bishop Marcinkus, the director of the Vatican Bank had sold it to Roberto Calvi without the bishops knowing it and Albino Luciani was the only cleric to protest and carry that protest all the way to the Vatican. It was in 1973 that the Crime and Racketeering Section of the US Department of Justice found evidence in a signed document by Pope Paul VI, the predecessor of Pope John Paul I, of what constituted the “one of the largest swindles in the world”. This fraudulent scandal was conducted by Bishop Marcinkus, head of the Vatican Bank and Michele Sindona in which $1 billion in false bonds with nominal value was sold on consignment by the Vatican.

The Forces within the Unholy Vatican

The forces behind the papal assassination were an unholy empire. This is a tale of two deaths, twelve investigations, two suicides and up to $1.2 billion in unsecured loans. In the end, the huge banking consortium in Milan Italy, Banco Ambrosiano run by Robert Calvi left over 200 financial institutions holding millions in loans from the Vatican. The scandal threatened the entire international banking industry and part and partial of a plot to undermine the Italian government.

This scandal was created in part by the decision of the Vatican, the world’s largest and wealthiest land owner, to transfer a large bulk of the liquid Italian assets to other nations of the world to avoid the new demands of the Italian Government in 1967-68 to repeal the 1942 Papal exemption. It was 1942 and the Italian President Benito Mussolini was involved in the height of World War II. The United States, bombed in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 had entered the war with Allied Forces. With the 1942 Papal exemption, Mussolini gave exemption to the Papacy from paying Italian taxes on share income.

This Papal exemption was built upon the earlier 1929 Lateran treaty (concordat) between Pope Pius XI and Mussolini which accepted the sovereignty of the Vatican State, declared Roman Catholicism to be the Italian state religion, requesting the papacy to remain neutral in the foreign affairs of Italy and with a compensation up to a reputed $85 million formed the framework of the modern fortunes of the Roman Catholic Church. Like an “off shore tax haven in the middle of Rome”, the Institute of Religious Works (IOR) was created by the Vatican to divert tithe, gifts and offerings of the Catholic faithful into a religious charity which was created to speculate on the stock, commodity and currency markets without paying taxes to the Italian State.

Benito Mussolini reads his credentials prior to signing the Lateran Treaty on behalf of King Victor Emmanuel III. Cardinal Gasparri (seated), signed on behalf of Pope Pius XI.

This “Special Administration” was formed on June 7^th,1929 and the Vatican became a financial consortium built upon the quadrangle of money market speculation, the fluctuations of the international stock markets, laundering dirty money through banking channels and the evasion even by governmental exemption of capital taxes. And so there arrived a Jewish speculator banker converted to Catholicism, a Sabbatean Jew called Bernardino Nogara to run the Special Administration. with one proviso: “that he be allowed to manage to manage this fortune as an ordinary banker, that is to say without regard for the laws of Christ the King or of earthy States, and without any tiresome scruples of conscience.” (Nantes 3) The Catholic Church lost a lot of money in the Wall Street Crash of 1929 but according to J.F. Pollard in The Vatican and the Wall Street Crash: Bernardino Nogara and Papal Finances in the Early 1930’s, by 1935 the Vatican Bank was investing in blue-chip stocks plus in May, 1939, sent $7.6 million worth of gold bars to the United States, a move that kept the Vatican afloat during World War II. (The Final Unholy Alliance)

While the Jewish world was effectively creating a world-wide boycott against Hitler and the rising Nazi state in order to prevent the vast buildup in the military machine needed by Hitler to conquer Europe and the “Final Solution” to Jewish blood from the continent of Europe. While the Labor Zionist’s Movement leadership was collaborating with Hitler’s Regimen as documented in Edwin Black’s book, The Transfer Agreement, the Dramatic Story of the Pact between the Third Reich and Jewish Palestine or Ben Hecht’s book, Perfidy, the true life story and trial of Rudolf Kastner, leading representative of the Jewish Agency representing David Ben-Gurion’s Mapai party, now the Labor Zionist Party, of collaborating with the Nazis to save 400 friends of Rudolf Kastner and the Mapai while 600,000 Hungarian Jews were transferred for their extermination to the gas chambers of Poland. And now, according to John Cornwell in Hitler’s Pope: The Secret History of Pius XII, we see Pope Pius XII as he abrogated the Catholic democratic movement in Germany and signed a Papal treaty, the Hitler-Pacelli Concordat of 1933. Out of this came a German ecclesiastical tax of great benefit for the Roman Catholic Church.

Eugenio Pacelli born to an Italian legal family became Secretariat of the Vatican for Pope Pius XI and guided the Papal foreign policy for ten years before becoming Pope Pius XII in 1939. Through his nineteen year reign until 1958, his reign intersected with the entire World War II, the dividing of Europe into the Christian “West” and the communist (“anti-Christian”) East. During these years, recognized as one of the most autocratic of all popes, Pius XII tried to extend the influence of the Papacy into the rise of the German Reich.

Eugenio Pacelli signing the Concordat with Germany

The papal concordat (Papal treaty) was instituted in 1870 as a reactionary movement against the challenges to papal infallibility. The Catholic Church suffered greatly in power and prestige by the anti-clerical chaos of the French Revolution in the 18^th century and the rise of socialism, evolutionism and industrialism, the Italian unification of power by Garibaldi. The German unification of power by Chancellor Otto von Bismarck and the earlier Protestant Prussian Kaisers led to a significantly weakened spiritual and temporal power of the papacy.

The Papacy sought to maintain its power in the rise and fall of nations throughout the Mid-Ages by adhering to the concept of the divine right of kings which the kings in turn forced their subjects to adhere to the mandates of the Papacy. This church-state union was the glue of this European social order during the rise of democracy that came at the end of the 19^th century. When Pope Pius IX was crowned in 1846, he had to face the rabble of the republican mob in the Eternal City. He “hurled denunciations against the ‘outrageous treason of democracy’ and threatened prospective voters with excommunication.” (Hitler’s Pope p. 10)

Eugenio Pacelli as Pope Pius XII (March 2, 1939 – October 9, 1958)

By the seventh decade of the 19^th century, the historical decree of papal infallibility was passed on July 18, 1870 with the almost unanimous assent of 433 bishops out of 435 in affirmation. The decree reads,

“The Roman Pontiff, when he speak ex cathedra, that is, when, exercising the office of pastor and teacher of all Christians, he defines….a doctrine concerning faith and morals to be held by the whole Church, through the divine assistance promised to him in St. Peter, is possessed of the infallibility with which the Divine Redeemer wished his Church to be endowed….And therefore such definitions of the Roman Pontiff are irreformable of themselves, and not from the consent of the Church.” (Hitler’s Pope p. 12)

Democracy died that day in the Roman Christian Church and in the eyes of the papacy, the whole of Christendom. Also in that same year, on September 20, 1870, the government of Italy seized the city of Rome which was the last of the Papal States. Yet when all the citizens participating in the seizure faced the power of excommunicated by Pope Pius IX, Italy issued the Papal Guarantee which gave the pope his sovereignty including the freedom of the conclave and councils with the Vatican, the Lateran and the Castel Gandolfo were declared extra-territorial.

In protest Pope Pius IX shut himself up in the Vatican and he and his successors became virtual prisoners for 59 years, never leaving until Lateran Concordat was signed with Mussolini in 1929. Newspapers around the world took note and The Catholic Advocate of Brisbane, Australia on April 18, 1929 claimed that the Concordat would “heal wound of many years.” It reminds us of the prophetic passage in Revelation.

Revelation 13:1-3 – “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

It was June, 1914, and Eugenio Pacelli, the representative of the Vatican and the representatives of the kingdom of Serbia met to sign the “Serbian Concordat”, which affected a large part of the Serbian electorate who were part of the Roman Orthodox Church. Within this decree were the following provisos: “Serbia guaranteed that the Holy See had the right to impose the new Code of Canon Laws on its country’s Catholic clergy and subjects; that Catholics would have freedom of religion, worship and education within its territories…At the same time, the treaty implied the abrogation of the ancient protectorate rights of the Austro-Hungarian Empire over the Catholic enclaves of Serbian territories.” (Hitler’s Pope p. 48-49)

This Concordat was drafted and then negotiated over the next eighteen months by the then undersecretary of the Sacred Congregations for Extraordinary Affairs by Eugenio Pacelli (the future Pope Pius XII). When the Austrians heard of the papal abrogation of imperial ties with Serbia, anti-Serbianism rose to a volatile level. Up until the end of the 19^th century, the emperors of the Hapsburg Empire held the right to veto the choice of a pope. This ended following the Papal Concordat and the institution of papal infallibility that was signed in 1870. In the progressive decline of the old imperial order of the Hapsburgs and the rise of European nationalism, the signing of the ‘Serbian Concordat’ opened a seething old wound.

Four days after the signing of the ‘Serbian Concordat’ the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand was visiting in Sarajevo, Serbia and was assassinated by Gavrilo Princip one of the leaders of the Narodna Odbrana. The power of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire came down upon Serbia and in the opinion of Vatican historian John Cornwell, “The ‘Serbian Concordat’ undoubtedly contributed to the uncompromising terms that the Austro-Hungarian Empire pressed on Serbia, making war inevitable.” Conflict started in weeks and soon flamed the whole world into World War I.” (Hitler’s Pope p. 48-49)

With the rise of the Third Reich of the German State, Pius XII in his pre-papal role first as the Papal nuncio in Berlin and later as Secretariat of the Vatican negotiated for Pope Piux XI for a Reich Concordat (Treaty). This treaty was not to benefit the Catholic faithful in German or those that supported the Catholic Center Party but to ensure the continuation of the Catholic autocracy started in 1870 with Vatican I of the papacy. The Centre Party as it was known in German had wide support among the German citizens and was avidly anti-Nazi. It was the German Catholic Centre Party that stood in the way of Hitler’s absolute power.

With the Hitler-Pacelli Concordat of 1933, the last democratic party in Germany was banned from any political activity for the Catholic faithful. The future pope defacto betrayed his own people and gave Hitler his ultimate goal, the supreme leader of the German people. In the end, Pacelli, as Pope Pius XII, living in one of the two main power centers for the European Axis powers, not only was influential in the first spark that created World War I, also with his anti-Semitism, his abandonment of the last democratic political party in Germany, he endorsed and gave Adolf Hitler the last pillar to ultimate Germanic and eventual European conquest of power. With this goal for autocratic power, six million Jews lost their lives as well as millions of Christians, Gypsies and other undesirables were eliminated.

For the next six decades, historians, scholars, Jews and Christian faithful have asked, why did Pope Pius XII not defend the Jews and call for an end to the genocide for the “children of Jacob” as an act of moral justice and humanitarian kindness? With more than a billion followers under his authority and moral control, the influence of the Vatican would have been profound. If the Papacy had joined the Jewish people in not only an economic boycott of the rise of the Nazi regime but also a political boycott, the “Light” and “Love” of the Eternal One of Israel could have radiated around the world. That moment in time did not come.

During the height of World War II, the Vatican was kept in total isolation. During these years, the catacombs beneath St. Peter’s Cathedral were discovered and the vast mortuary tombs were explored and catalogued. During these years, the tomb of Peter, the apostle was found who was crucified upside down in the Circus of Nero and buried on the hillside nearby. For a decade after the war was over this discovery would remain hidden by the Vatican to the outside world.

The Final Hour of Albino Luciani, Pope John Paul I

Here we see the ‘apostate Church’ already corrupted, scandalized when Albino Luciani was elected in the second vote of the Papal Conclave on August 26, 1978. First note of fascination was that Luciani sat right across from his successor, Karol Woytyla. He later predicted that Woytyla would follow him in the seat of St. Peter.

Pope John Paul I, seen here on the papal throne, is wearing an inexpensive silver pectoral cross, not the standard golden cross worn by Popes and his uncut hair, simply brushed back, was considered unusual but more genuine and modest than the dandy coifs of the other Cardinals.

The Italian clerics were known to be hostile to Luciani. For over four centuries, the Latin prelates had controlled the Holy See and many were it was known later were part of an underground secret lodge reopened in 1970 and called the P-2 Lodge. Originally founded in 1877, for provincial Freemason, the Propaganda Due (P-2) sought within its secret confine those bishops and prelates of a conservative persuasion to prevent a takeover of the Vatican by Communists. Its nefarious activities were discovered, its offices were raided, and its membership list was discovered. Its members spanned the spectrum of Italian political leaders, military and police officials, business leaders, and journalists which included its Grand Master Licio Gelli and Michele Sindona. To the consternation of the Masonic prelates and the power brokers associated with the corrupt financial dealings of the Vatican Bank, word quickly went out that the new Pope John Paul I was opening an investigation into both and was seeking to dismiss many.

The Vatican Bank and the Institute for Works of Religion (IOR) were owned and under the personal control of the Pope into order to fund or loan money to religious projects around the world. Under the guise of the “Special Administration”, the investigator Christiano wrote about speculative schemes and money laundering that was funneled through the hands of Robert Calvi, the director of the Banco Ambrosiano of Milan and Michele Sindona, advisor to Pope Paul VI who as Cardinal Archbishop Montini of Milan received over two million dollars from Sindona for his religious organizations. Michele Sindona was a member of the Milanian Mafia, a Sicilian by birth, who later reaped big rewards when the Vatican assets needed to be transferred out of the country and across the Alps. While Pope Paul VI condemned the illegal and amoral activities of racketeering and money laundering in the encyclical Populorum Progressio, the siphon of money began to alert government fraud authorities, first in Italy, then the Interpol, the CIA, the FBI while Michele Sindona’s “Italian Solution” eliminated many of investigators. Later in 1981, Calvi was convicted by the Italian fraud authorities for currency fraud ($1.3 billion missing from the bank), fled to England and later found dead hanging by an orange rope under Blackfriar’s Bridge in London. Here left behind was the hallmark sign of a Masonic suicide.

According to Christiano, Cardinal Villot, the Secretary of State and also a secret Grand Master of the Masons, was given privileged information: list of Catholic prelates Luciani was planning to reassign, resign or transfer plus a list of a large group of Church leaders suspected to be involved in the Masonic movement (P-2 Lodge). Under instructions to the Secretariat, an investigation was to commence immediately. “No department, no congregation, no section is to be excluded”, Luciani told Villot…The financial review was to be done discreetly, quickly and completely. The new Pope advised his Secretary of State that once he had considered the report he would decide on appropriate courses of action.” (Abbe de Nantes quoting Yallop p. 8)

The list of prelates listed on the Masonic P-2 membership claimed to name 121 members of the Roman Curia who were members of Propaganda Due. These included: Cardinal Jean Villot the Secretariat of the Vatican; Cardinal Agostino Casaroli, undersecretary of the Vatican who later became Secretary of State; Cardinal Ugo Poletti, Cardinal Vicar of Rome; Cardinal Sebastiano Baggio, the director of the powerful Congregation for Bishops, Bishop Marcinkus, director of the Vatican Bank and Pope Paul’s secretary, Pasquale Macchi. The protector of all was Cardinal Villot. The new pope was surrounded by his bitterest enemies.

When the news reached Roberto Calvi at Bank Ambrosiano, he was upset and livid. The international fraud authorities were already on his lead and his only guarantor was Bishop Marcinkus at the Vatican Bank. According to Yollop, “If by some miracle Albino Luciani were to drop dead before Marcinkus was removed, then Calvi would have time” Calvi turned to Gelli, who reassured him: “The problem (of the miracle!) could and would be resolved.” (Abbe de Nantes quoting Yallop p. 8)

Across the Atlantic the national media was alive with the scandals of misappropriation of funds by Cardinal John Cody of Chicago and he was threatened with deposition. On his last day alive, Luciani’s first order of business he gave to Villot was that Cardinal Cody had to be removed. The second order was that Cardinal Baggio was to be reassigned as the Patriarch of Venice. His name was discovered – Baggio, Masonic name Seba, Lodge number 85/2640. Enrolled on August 14^th, 1957. (Abbe de Nantes, p. 9)

Later that evening Cardinal Villot met with Luciani and the conversation turned to the Vatican Bank. The earlier meeting of the Pope with Bishop Marcinkus did not go well and: Luciani advised Villot that Marcinkus was to be removed immediately. Not in a week’s or a month’s time. The following day. “He would be replaced by an honest man, “a key figure in the financial tribunal of the Vatican, Monsignor Abbo…The claws of the lion which his intimates had waited to be revealed, were on full display to Villot.” Furthermore he was going to dismiss the uomini di fiducia, Marcinkus’ mafia, and he intended to cut all links, without any delay, with the Banco Ambrosiano Group of Sindona and Calvi.” (Abbe de Nantes, p. 9) Such an act of authority had not been seen since the time of Saint Pius X. Seventy-five years earlier, Pius X had broken the power of the formidable Secretary of State of his predecessor Leo Xiii, the freemason Cardinal Rampolla. As the Holy See retreated to his private quarters, the last words he said to Villot, “Buona notte. A domain. Se Dio vuole.” (Abbe de Nantes quoting Yallop p.11)

According to Yallop in In God’s Name, the murder of Pope John Paul II had all the telling traits of a Masonic murder. It would be made to look like a suicide, and accident or a natural death with an alibi and would include a pre-established scheme, an implausible scheme or a scandalous scheme. Yet in Yallop’s investigation, one aberrant detail however methodical was noticed. “At the Vatican’s insistence, no blood was drained from the body, neither were any organs removed. Injections of formalin and other preserving chemicals were made into the body through the femoral arterial ad vein passages. The entire process took over three hours. The reason the process took so long was because, contrary to normal practice when the blood is drained or cleared with a solution of salt water that is circulated around the body, the Vatican was adamant that no blood should be drawn off.” Here was the indisputable proof of the assassination of Pope John Paul I, any blood, any retained organs of the body would constitute the presence of poisoning or the evidence that digitalis does to hemorrhaging tissue.

According to Yallop, it was not Cardinal Jean Villot who murdered the Pope, nor the accomplice or the author of the crime. “Licio Gelli was the initiator and general organize of the crime, that Roberto Calvi was his partner in the crime, a crime that was to cost him ever more dearly to the point where he too had to be suicided. The executor of the crime was some thus who had received the contract of his life from an agent of Ortolani’s in the Via Archimede. This underworld of the mafia, the bank and Vatican village is known to us now. And Marcinkus? Ah, Marcinkus! He was keeping watch in the meantime….” Luccio Gelli was the Grandmaster of the underground P-2 Lodge, a member of the Black Shirt Battalion and liaison with Herman Goring of the SS Division in World War II.

The New Pope John Paul II

As a rebel, a non-conformist linked with the masses of the people, is it any wonder that on Pope John Paul II’s first press conference to two thousand journalists in the Vatican and 125 members of the Vatican diplomatic corp. representing one hundred countries, he spoke of his destiny to bring the papacy into the new road of papal internationalism.

“It is not our business to judge the actions of government… But there is no way the dignity and the right of all men and every human individual can be served unless that dignity and those rights are seen as founded on the life, death and resurrection of Christ…The Church seeks no privileges for herself, but we do desire a dialogue with the nations”… even though the Church’s diplomatic relations with so many countries “do not necessarily imply the approval of one or another regime – that is not our business…We have an appreciation of the positive temporal values, a willingness for dialogue with those who are legitimately charged with the common good of society, and the understanding of their role, which is often difficult.” (Ibid 62)

At the ceremony of his coronation, Wojtyla, like his predecessor, John Paul I, quickly rejected the papal triple tiara which he claimed was “wrongly considered to be a symbol of temporal power of the pope.” (Ibid 63) It was only clear in part as he spoke in ten languages to billions of people around the world, “Open wide the doors of Christ. To his saving power the boundaries of states, economic and political systems, the vast fields of culture and civilization and development. Do not be afraid…I want your support in this, my mission.” (Ibid 63)

John Paul II visiting the site of the Sermon on the Mount

He quickly vaulted the office of the papacy to beyond the scope of temporal power which the tiara symbolized and expressed his mission to exercise the spiritual authority and moral mandate he felt was divinely given to him over those who did wield temporal power over their subjects.

The “temporal world” and all of its rulers, the media, the industrialists, and the bureaucratic power brokers, were suddenly put on notice, Pope John Paul II was to bring a new era to the Holy See. With an independence of mind and a flare for the unusual, he quickly hit the road first to Assisi and then Siena, over to the summer papal residence of Castel Gandolfo, the mountain shrine of La Mentorella and unusual events like visiting an ailing bishop in a Roman hospital. The public loved him and though a Pole by birth the Italians adopted him as il nostro polacco – our Pole and “Papa Wojtyla.” Walking in St. Peter’s Square, he was mobbed and many times left with papal buttons missing and red lipstick on the white papal cloak. (Ibid 65)

This new image suited this new Pope. It kept him in the public eye with the admiration of the masses yet immune from conspiratorial, suspicious or prying eyes. The simple white robe and skull cap, the Fisherman’s Ring on his index finger, the ambience of ‘divine’ rituals gave a simple meaning, here was a religious leader to be trusted and loved. For awhile, he stood in a ‘one-way geo-political window’ unobserved and undisturbed. With all the international intelligence of the papacy, the historical archives of the Vatican, the legends and prophecies secreted by the Holy See and the privilege to call any leader around the world and discuss in private consultation any subject of his choosing, John Paul began to exert is spiritual mandate upon the political powers on the earth.

Cardinal Wyszynski and the Three Internationales

Behind all his musings of the historical trends and political events unfolding around him, the words of Karol Wojtyla’s mentor, Cardinal Wyszynski of Warsaw whom he worked for thirty years were fresh in his mind. Cardinal Wyszynski has been dubbed the “Fox of Europe” because he carried out the “first and only geopolitical strategy every carried out against an Eastern satellite nation against the Soviet Union.” (Ibid 20)

Here together, the mentor and the student and future Pope, they saw a world of the immerging “three Internationales”, the three geopolitical contenders for the future world power.

“There exist on this earth, Wyszynski used to say, only three Internationales. The ‘Golden Internationale’ was his shorthand term for the financial power of the world – the Transnationalist and Internationalist globalist leaders of the West.

The ‘Red Internationale’ was, of course, the Leninist-Marxist Party State of the Soviet Union, with which he and Wojtyla and their compatriots had such long and painfully intimate experience.”

The third geopolitical contender – The Roman Catholic Church; the ‘Black Internationale’ – was destined in Wysynskyi’s eyes to be the ultimate victor in any contention with those rivals.” (Ibid 20-21)

For prophecy watchers, the “Black Internationale” must be watched in this era approaching the Black Seal of Revelation.

Pope John Paul II and the Red Internationales

By the spring of the next year, 1979, Pope John Paul II invaded the sanctum of the ‘red Internationale’ by visiting his Soviet run homeland of Poland. To the dismay of his former political masters and the capitalists, he demonstrated in word and deed that the status quo in the international sphere was outclassed and outdated and a new geopolitical reality must transcend old values.

Pope John Paul II at the Vatican

There in the mid-heart of the international contention, was the arena called Mettel-europa, the underbelly of the Soviets that is “Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals is a giant seesaw of power. Europe from the Baltic to the Adriatic Sea is the center of that power. The Holy Father’s battle was to control that center.” Here Pope John Paul II was to become a geopolitical pope and only eight months after his election and coronation, he opened the millennial game to control the ‘time of the end’ and became the first player to enter that geopolitical arena. (Ibid 22)

According to Cardinal Wyszynski of Warsaw, “certain historical developments are willed by the Lord of History, and they shall take place. About many other – mostly minor – developments, that same Lord is willing. He allows men the free will to choose between various options, and he will go along with those choices; for, in the end, all human choices will be co-opted as grist into God’s mill, which grinds slowly but always grinds exceedingly fine.” (Ibid 22)

In a world when globalism was still not prominent in the lexicon of the 20^th century man. He would aim for a ‘new Europe’ and run around the ‘cold war’ that pitted the globalist west with the communistic east. China was still in the backwaters of international politics but both the east and the western powers would soon be beating a pathway to their doorway. To the Kremlin masters, Wojtyla was an enigma yet they responded. To the Polish shipyard workers in Gdansk, the green light was given for the birth of the Solidarity trade union as the first innovative breech behind the Iron Curtain, yet innovation it was and opens the door to the next, the fear of an economic implosion within their own hemisphere.

The year of the ascension of Pope John Paul II was also the year of the ascension to the central hierarchy of the Soviet Politburo a new face that would change the Soviet political landscape, Mikhail Gorbachev. Named Secretary of Soviet Agriculture and Secretary of the Central Committee (CC) of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), Gorbachev thrived under his two mentors and supreme leaders: KGB chief Yuri Andropov and his successor, Konstantin Chernenko. Industrial stagnation, technological inferiority and socio-political backwardness were the paramount ills in the Soviet society. By 1985, Gorbachev emerged as the General Secretary of the CPSU and Supreme Leader of the Soviet Union and to Pope John Paul II, here was an innovative power broker in an imploding society. Centered between an economic powerhouse of Western Germany with 300 million people to the West and the emerging Eastern powerhouse of the People’s Republic of China with 1.5 billion people, Russia was struggling with her own economic stagnation and decay Half-way around the world also stood the powerbroker of international politics, the United States of America with President Ronald Reagan repeating over and over, “the evil empire” leaving the Leninists in international isolation.

With a bang, Gorbachev entered in the international arena with as much suave as a Madison Avenue PR agent. Within four years, he had won over Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and was wooing the vast populations of America and Europe. He began to set the international agenda of the “Group of Seven” and vindicated the geo-political vision of John Paul II a decade earlier that the power center of the world lay in central Europe. By 1989, in a bold and theatrical stroke of a chessman, Gorbachev banished the “evil empire” from political sight. The “iron curtain” came down and by 1992 the geopolitical discussion centered not around containment but integration. Yet while the western world was mesmerized by “Mr. Gorbachev” he quietly and brutally suppressed the rise of nationalism in the Soviet states of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and the Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. He not only changed the ‘red internationals” but more vastly changed the “gold internationals” with the new Gorbachevism.

Yet John Paul knew the goals and the aims of Gorbachev’s design for a new world order. To the “Red Internationale” all national governments would cease and one central governing command center in Moscow controlled by the Communist Party would rule the world. They would control the military, security, the global economy using western market economics with centralized governing standards of Leninist Marxism. They would control the cultural values of the global society and while religion would be banned, the new value system centered around human values and worth rather than Divine qualities and worth would be instituted.

While the western world was cooing over the new Soviet leader, the papal vision was clearer and knew the words of Gorbachev must be taken literally, “I am a Leninist, devoted to achieving the goals of Leninism and the worldwide Leninist association of all workers under the banner of Marxism.” (Ibid 32) Yet for his perestroika it suggested that he needed the KGB, the Red Army central command with its super secret Soviet Defense Council and the support of the Central Committee.

Yet John Paul also knew that Gorbachev’s ‘Achilles Heel’ was he was designing a new world order that denied the existence of God and believed that man is a creature of nature. To John Paul, it was “a cruel denial of man’s highest aspiration. It is a violation of man’s deepest instinct – to worship God; and of his deepest desire – to live forever, never to die. ‘The claim to build a world without God,” the Pope stated bluntly in Czechoslovakia during his visit in April of 1990, ‘has been shown to be an illusion….Such a hope has already revealed itself as a tragic Utopia...for man is unable to be happy if the transcendent relationship with God is excluded.” (Ibid 33)

Pope John Paul II and the Transnationists and the Western Internationalists

To the north and west of the Vatican, John Paul saw a different vision. The champions of Western capitalism and democracy were built around the architectural foundation of a different new world order founded on the pillars of money and technology. The Transnationalists and Internationalists of America and Europe saw a new world empire based on power, greed and control but by exploiting democratic capitalism and democratic egalitarianism to the fullest, the foundation of the nation-state capitalism would evolve naturally to a planetary system of global regulation.

Pope John Paul II

The glue would be the interdependence of the nations called international development and the craftsmen would be the bankers, attorneys, bureaucrats and scientists. This one world order would hinge around contracts, agreements, covenant, treaties, joint ventures all approved and sealed by the approval of a united nations. The geopolitical spheres of influence were the same as the Leninists, one was politically controlled at the center and the other was economically controlled at the center.

The concept of the founding fathers of the United States was that fundamental to democracy, that is a government for the people, of the people and by the people with all its supporting political, economic and technological institutions, all the structural elements of its existence were inviolable. Take away any one of the three separate power of governance or the right of free association and the organic whole no longer exists. Even more so, capitalism nor democracy demands or require a moral foundation to its existence. Once again, Pope John Paul II spoke to this issue at the Prague Castle on April 21, 1990 that for the newly liberated Czechoslovaks from communism must not replace it with “secularism, indifference, hedonistic consumerism, practical materialism, and also the formal atheism that plague the West.” (Ibid 37)

As John Paul observed the Western globalists even with their moral rhetoric, they remained “indifferent to the rape and genocide of Tibet; to the cruel oppression of democracy in Myanmar (formerly Burma) and in the PRC; to the Indonesian genocide of the East Timorese; and to the war of extermination of Syria’s Hafez Assad has waged against Christian communities in his land.” (Ibid 37) Today, the political landscape is not much different. The genocide in Sudan, the intifada of the Palestinians against Israel and Christian Arabs, the economic oppression of the Zionists against the Palestinians, the nuclear threats of India versus Pakistan, the Iranians versus Israel, the North Koreans against the United States. In the post-millennium reign of Pope John Paul II the international scene is not better and even appears to be astronomically worse.

Yet the prophetic picture of Jesus speaking to his disciples on the Mount of Olives overlooking the Temple of Herod, appears in clearer detail.

Matthew 24:6 - “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.”

Even above the two superpower contenders, the Marxist-Leninist East versus the Democratic Globalist West, smaller groups were seeking to assert their influence while riding upon the global vehicles of the larger powers. The New-Agers and the Mega-religionists were out to persuade the world that we are evolving and fusing into a global universal mega-religion for all mankind. All nations and tribes in what is called the Temple of Human Understanding gave their allegiance to one common good. Its value system was peace, health, respect for the Earth and environmental devotion under the mantle of Understanding. Like chameleons they infiltrated all the super-power structures economic boardrooms, political bureaucracies and church institutional hierarchies whether they are Christian, Jewish or Islamic. When the political push comes to shove, power, green and control reign supreme even in these institutions also in search of an earthly Utopia instead of the transcendent revelation of a loving God.

Yet as John Paul was laying a strategy towards the new millennium, he was not intent on accepting the continuous dualism of opposing ideologies on the political sphere. He designed to move around the Soviet Party-State complex and set up alliances and ties with the Russian Orthodox and Eastern Orthodox Churches. He quickly visited the patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Church in Istanbul and fostered strategic ties with the Eastern European Roman Catholics and Russian Orthodox communities. When the political barriers of the Soviet state crumbled, a majority of mainstream Orthodox Churches were prepared to enter the fold of the Roman Catholic Church by vote and accession of their church property to the Vatican. Understand though this was not as much a religious strategy as a geopolitical strategy.

Whereas the Western globalists under the mantle of Reagan’s push to topple the ‘evil empire’ of the Soviets, the Solidarity experimentation in Poland and the bid to unify the Orthodox communities behind the Iron Curtain had probably more impact. In turn John Paul began to turn his attention to the progressive materialist, anti-God, anti-Church identity of the Western capitalist and globalists. Crisscrossing the world, from one country to another he kept his international profile highly visible, his spiritual frame of reference current among world political leaders and after a hundred years of political isolation of the Roman Catholic Church, even the United States with highly visible and respected President Ronald Reagan reestablished diplomatic relations with the Vatican, the “American Concordat” with Rome.

The Attempted Assassination of Pope John Paul II and the Lady Fatima

And then on May 13, 1981, in the presence of 75,000 people and 11 million television viewers in St. Peter’s Cathedral, John Paul bent over in the ‘popemobile’ to a young girl wearing a small picture of Mary, the mother of Jesus as Our Lady of Fatima when two bullets shot out missing his head and then two more this time turning his papal cassock bloody red. A Turkish hired assassin, Mehmet Ali Agca, hit his mark against a man not as an act against a religious leader but for international interests not wanting this Pope to be an “independent and uncontrolled force in international politics.” (Ibid 47) Pope John Paul II had shown his skilled as an international and purposeful contender for power, determined to shape the destiny of nations.

The Three Children of Portugal at Fatima

It also happened on May 13, a supernatural event of intimate interest to him starting of May 13, 1917 in an small Portuguese hamlet of Fatima and ending on October 13 of the same year, a ‘miracle’ of the Virgin Mary controlling the sun in a spectacular way lodged in his memory along with the fact that if he had not of bent over to that little girl with the picture of the Lady Fatima, a bullet would have lodged in his brain.

To the new Pope, now three years in his papal reign, was an avid Marian worshipper, this coincidence of occurrences would change his future. The miracle of saving his life when he was looking upon Lady Fatima would cast his papal reign with a new urgency and a new direction.

Signs at the Time of the End

It all began on the weekend of December 26, 2004. In the early morning the coolness of the day produces the pleasure of being close to God’s nature. People were walking along the beach, children playing along the lapping waves when the tides suddenly moved out. The children followed the retreating tides lines eager to pick up shells that were left behind and unaware of the disaster that lay ahead of them. The foundations of the earth went into spasms and all the seismographs around the world recorded the convulsions.

Live International Seismographs of the Indonesian Earthquake – December 26 (21:40:57)

- By the United States Geological Survey (USGS)

Tsunami Wave Approaching the Shore

A 9.0 magnitude earthquake, known to seismologists as a “megathrust”, shook the tectonic plates near the archipelago of 17,000 islands of Indonesia and 155 miles south of the city of Bandah Aceh on the northern tip of the western shoreline of Sumatra. Five miles below the Indian Ocean the edges of three continental tectonic plates along with the Indian and Australian plates slowly grind along a subduction zone against the Burma plate. There they overlap and thrust above and below each other. In a long 745 mile fault line running north and south west of Indonesia, the Indian plate dives below the Burma plate and the Sunda Trench marks where the Indian plate descends into the hot mantle of the earth’s molten interior inferno. Here one of the biggest earthquakes in the Indian-Asia hemisphere in the past 200 years began to convulse the entire planet earth. An 8.0 earthquake rocked this area in the year 2000, preceded by giant quakes in 1797, 1833 and 1861. Yet this quake released 31 times more energy than the 2000 quake.

The mass of water displaced by the tectonic plates sent a mega tsunamis racing along the ocean floor of the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean faster than an airliner streaks across the sky. Chaos, havoc and destruction soon wrecked its deadly toll along elite seacoast resorts where the beautiful people of the six continents were basking in the sun. There with the local native communities from Indonesia to Somalia in Eastern Africa, their lives were obliterated. A sixty five wall of water struck Indonesia while waves thirty feet high rolled over like a freight train unto the shorelines of Sri Lanka more than a 1000 miles from the earthquake. The energy displacement caused the oceans to rise halfway around the world where in Manzanilla, Mexico, the waves rose up more than eight feet. Yet here was the shocker. While hundreds of thousands of humans were killed, no animal bodies were recovered in the debris. Along with the primitive natives whose eyes and ears are sensitive to the changes in nature, they all make a quick retreat to the inner highlands along the coast.

Asian Tsunami Satellite Imagery

– By Global Security.org

Tsunamis occur frequently in the Pacific basin where the “Ring of Fire” drapes over the globe like a necklace on a beautiful figure. Here the most active tectonic spots on the globe are in constant motion. Yet the quietness of the Indian Ocean was deceiving. In a world used to the placid calmness of uniform changes in nature, the “mega-disaster” of a million atomic bombs made the fear of human terrorism appeared like child’s play. Not since the region exploded with the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883 has a tsunami been recorded in the Indian Ocean. This rogue catastrophe created fear in every coastal inhabitant from New York, Amsterdam and Buenos Aires to Tokyo, San Francisco and Hong Kong where 80% of the populations of the earth live. The monster of the deep may any second crush out their lives without warning.

This planet earth wobbled on its axis, the pole migrated or tilted on its axis over an inch and the rotation of the earth sped up 3 microseconds. Even a nuclear submarine of the United States hitting an undersea mountain highlighted that all the sea lanes in the regions, where the massive oil tankers ply the waters from one continent to another, were vulnerable to a potential mega-environmental disaster if a tanker hull plying one hundred feet into the ocean were to rip apart from the catastrophic changes in the shifting ocean floors.

The islands surrounding Indonesia “were moved out of place” very similar to a future greater earthquake that will affect the whole earth as revealed in the 6^th Seal of Revelation.

Revelation 6:12-17 - And I looked and He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood; and the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs, when it is shaken by a mighty wind.

And the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, and every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb; For the great day of His wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

The realization that is casting a pall across the face of the earth is that something different is happening to our globe and no one seems to have an answer. In an era in which all nature appears to be going awry, the confidence of weather forecasting is shattered by aberrant hurricanes wandering over one state in America, the highest temperature in 500 years in Europe, mega tornados in mid-America, the mighty ice shelves of the Antarctica collapsing, the glaciers in the Artic retreating, the unexplained phenomenon of the darkness of the Artic glowing like the breaking of a new day, the increased temperature of the central Pacific of 2-4 degrees causing 100 feet of snow in the Sierra Nevada mountains and mud slides and collapsing homes in San Bernardino County in California, we have to ask, “Is the Eternal One of Israel saying something to us?” Are these aberrant and unusual catastrophic changes in a uniform world? Is this planet flinging through the darkness of the solar system guided by the finger of the Divine or is it home alone as it careens through outer space?

Once more we hear the words of the ancient prophets of Israel ringing in our ears,

Haggai 2:6 – “For thus says the Lord of hosts, Once more in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea also and the dry land.”

It is easy for many to believe that the forces of nature reveal the nature of the God of Israel. Yet where was the Eternal One of Israel when the convulsion of the deep sent a shock wave to the distant lands? As a geologist patient of mine, who analyzes the deep earth sounding on the crust of the earth, said to me, “What happened in Indonesia has been part of the formation of this earth for millions of years. Is happened and it will happen again! Oh, yes, this may not be the most catastrophic earthquake and tsunami to hit this earth but the question still begs an answer, “Did an absentee God let this earth hiccough on its own? Was the Lord of hosts rather sending a message to this planet earth?

Revelation 14:7 - “Fear God and give glory to Him for the hour of His judgment is come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”!”

If the Lord of hosts wanted to communicate to the inhabitants on this planet, how would He do it? He sent the Torah and we believe it not. He sent the prophets of Judah and Israel and let the children of Israel be blessed or cursed depending on their responses to His word so we could see the consequences. Yet today, we blame Israel rather than believing that the God of Israel will do what He states He will do whether or not we will believe in Him. He sent down His only Son who affirmed the prophets of old and their apocalyptic vision and we still believe Him not.

Yet many others believing in a God of Love are uncomfortable that a loving God would marshal the forces of tectonic destruction upon the people of this earth. Yet what choice does a loving God have in a world where power, greed and control is reining its evil hand over the face of the earth. Europe today is virtually God-less today. America is quickly erasing any images or written portrayals of the Divine from its institutions of justice. The apostate Christian church is completing its bid for global dominion. The ‘Protest’ant Church no longer are protesting. They are flocking as fast as they can back to the fold of apostate Christianity. Neither are they obeying the call of the Lord of hosts,

Maybe we want the Eternal One of Israel to proclaim in a loud thundering voice from heaven that will be heard in the 70 languages on this earth? Maybe He should sent a host of angels to the geopolitical power center on this earth. Maybe He should sent His own archangels! Maybe He will.

Revelation 18:4 - “And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her my people, lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.”

Consider the fact that there is so much evil in the hearts of man today that we do not need a Satan. Leave man to his own devices and this earth will surely be consumed and destroyed. The goodness of man seen on this earth does not come from the abundance of righteousness inherent in our own hearts but rather there are a few people who are still listening for the “still small voice” of God. The Lord of hosts desires that all men should be saved but it was Yahshua (Jesus) who stated, “Many are called but few are chosen. “ Why? Because only a few hear the voice of the Lord and are willing like Isaiah who said, “Here am I, oh Lord, send me.”

Maybe we should reconsider that the Eternal One of Israel is truly sovereign over the entire Universe. The fact that the laws of nature appear stable and we feel protected only suggests that over the centuries the Lord of the Universe has been holding this planet in the palm of His hand. Withdraw that Hand of divine protection and the evil acts of man will suffocate this planet and the natural laws of the universe will be thrown awry. If the prophet of Revelation is to be believed, the Lord of hosts will withdraw His protective influence from this earth until His remnant will ‘cry upon His Name’ and the inhabitants who choose to harbor the forces of evil will harden their hearts till every spark of the divine touch will be extracted from their soul. Only when the polarity between the ‘good’ and the ‘evil’ appears as stark as ‘night and day’ will the Moschiach (Messiah) of Israel come to claim His own.

Israel and the Middle East

The year of 2004 was a pivotal year for the Land of Israel. The death of Yassir Arafat moved the Israeli people into a new era of relationships with the Palestinians and the rest of the world. There will be struggle for this new reality and the “Oracle of Zechariah” will see its eventual fulfillment. The nation of Israel accepted the invitation of the European Union to become a part of the EU Neighborhood Program and by an international pact agreed to place themselves under the geo-political influence of the national bodies that constitute the ancient Roman Empire known as the Edomites to their ancient forefathers. Ariel Sharon as the leader of the Likud, chose to follow a political pathway that abrogated the political rights and the political voice of his own Jewish constituents. He was willing to destroy the majority party relationship of his own Likud Party in order to advance the disengagement of the Jewish people living in the southern Gaza Strip even at the risk of a civil war within his own country and the potential of an uprising within the Israel Defense Force (IDF).

When we watch political wrangling that is weaving throughout the political and social life of the Jewish people as the fallout for the “go it alone Sharon”, must we not ask why? If Israel truly is a democratic nation and the model of democracy to the Islamic people, does Sharon have a different master than the will of the Israeli people? Will Arial Sharon be looked upon in history as the Prime Minister who departed from serving his own people and his own God in order to secure a place in the echelons of nations who want to absorb Israel into a unified international identity? Will this internal conflict within the Nation of Israel begin a new revolution that the Israel ordained by the God of Israel will not be a democracy but a theocratic state under the rulership of the Messiah of Israel?

A trend is escalating in the national identity of the Jewish people that Jews who believe in the Messiah of Jesus are not only welcome but courted to make aliyah (return to live in their national homeland) in the Land of Israel. These do not currently include Messianic Jews from American, British, Australian and New Zealand but it does include the Spanish and Portuguese Marrano Jewish Christians, the Ethiopian Falash Mura Jewish Christians and the Russian Orthodox Jewish Christians. With the door wedged open, someday a floodgate may occur for Messianic Jews to return to the land of their forefathers from Europe, America and former lands of the British Commonwealth. Some many consider that it is the will of the God of Israel to plant within their own land Jewish people with a love for their own rabbi and son of the Land of Judea, Yahshua HaMoschiach (Jesus the Messiah?

A new identity is also developing in the Land of Israel that is willing to stand up in opposition to the secular political agenda of the Labor Zionists whom more and more are recognized as Sabbatean Jews, the offspring of the last great ‘false’ messiah of the Jews, Shabbatai Zevi in 1666. There is a rising tide of fundamental theocratic orthodox Jews who believe that the true spiritual Nation of Israel will not become a literal reality until the messiah of Israel returns. A new Jewish Sanhedrin was re-established for the first time in over one and one-half millennium. Will they be responsible to leading the Jewish people back to a life of Torah? Shabbat worship (Seventh-day Sabbath) is also becoming a political and economic force in the Land of Israel that may lead to a counter-force revolution in the rest of the world to enforce Sunday Laws in honor of the Christian Sunday worship. Yet there is another political trend developing in the Land of Israel, an unabashed vibrant Jewish identity towards the realization of a vision: the building and re-establishment of the Beit HaMikdash (the Holy Temple.) There will in the future be a clash as to whether this ‘Holy Temple’ will be built by the political-religious forces within and by the Nation of Israel or by David, son of David, the future Messiah of Israel. The Eternal One of Israel is molding a new reality that bring His Eternal Will into a living reality as foretold by the prophets of Israel and Judah. (Click to Open Israel and the Middle East)

America and the World of Global Terror

On January 20, 2005, George W. Bush, in a global, sweeping and lyrical inaugural address, sent a message loud and clear, America’s mission and mandate over the next four years will be to bring the torch of freedom to every corner of the globe, all under the banner of democracy. Under the global call for peace, he stated, “The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world.” Born on the ‘day of fire”, the “force of human freedom” will carry the message that “every man and woman on this Earth has rights, and dignity and matchless value because they bear the image of the maker of heaven and Earth.”

AFP | Tim Sloan With a pledge to battle terrorism and promote democracy around the world, US President George W. Bush, seen here 19 January 2005 was to launch his new term under an unprecedented security blanket and a dusting of snow

The foreign policy of the United States will carry the mandate “to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world. This “Freedom, by its nature, must be chosen and defended by citizens and sustained by the rule of law and the protection of minorities.” This “ideal of freedom” is also what has brought to the citizens of the United States the most obtrusive government in modern history. Lauded in this ‘ideal’ are the Homestead Act and the government “reforming great institutions” to serve the people’s of the world.

Before an estimated audience of 100,000 listening to the president on the National Mall, the beautiful rhetoric and the flowering panorama of verbal imagery by President Bush’s chief speechwriter, Michael Gerson, unleashed the theme of democracy in the grand march to corral all the nations of the earth into the acceptance of a One World Order and usher in a era of world peace. Are we presumptuous to consider that what we are seeing unfolding before our eyes is truly what the prophets of old foretold in the sacred texts as the time of the end?

Here we see applauded to the world America's ideal of freedom suggesting that our citizens do find the dignity and security in their economic independence, instead of laboring on the edge of subsistence. Do we then consider that we have dignity and security because God is on our side? Are we considering that we have a divine mandate to export democracy to the rest of the world even at the edge of the sword? Have we considered that the broad definition of ‘liberty’ has also motivated our government to provide for American’s the Homestead Act and all the personal freedoms that it takes away from our citizens. And now we will extend this vision by reforming great institutions to serve the needs of our time. These are the institutions owned and run by the “Golden Internationale”, or the Western Transnationists and the Internationalists who seek to control the economic sector of the New World Order (NWO).

In President Bush’s speech we see Bush portraying himself as the great liberator and asking the world in his own words, to accept that with his vision “we have lit a fire as well -- a fire in the minds of men. It warms those who feel its power, it burns those who fight its progress, and one day this untamed fire of freedom will reach the darkest corners of our world.” Is this the same freedom that God gives to all mankind who claim Him as the Sovereign of their lives? Whereas Bush condemned tyranny, he did not explain how we support and protect allies who do not allow such liberties to their own citizens while placing limits on the individual freedom of American citizens. This comes in contradiction with the ideals he defined. ‘Righteous indignation’ that leads to the death of anyone without just cause may lead us to being the participants of the evil which we denounce.

As the leader of the world’s lone superpower, it must be accepted that President George W. Bush firmly believes in his heart that he can liberate the world from tyranny, the tyranny that refuses to accept the mantle of democracy as the political force of the future and join all nations to live in peaceful co-existence. Even this is not the vision of the Bible he professes to serve. The word, democracy, does not exist in the Holy Writ and the forces of Hellenistic democracy as espoused by the Syrian Greek and Roman overlords of Judea were denounced as forces of evil. The only political governance that the prophets of Israel spoke as liberating the world from the oppression of evil would be the coming of the Messiah in the Great Day of the Lord.

George W. Bush has openly spoken of his faith, his love for God and the moments of time he spends in prayer. With his inaugural address, he invoked the name of God nine times with themes linking to his constituent evangelical Christian supporters. At the same time, the influence of his powerful advisors, who affirm “replacement theology” believe that the United States has taken away the mantle of God’s sovereign blessing away from His chosen people, the Jews and the “Lost tribes of the House of Israel”. He believes as a Christian that “freedom” is a gift of God but denies the role of Yahshua (Jesus), the son of the Eternal One of Israel as the pathway to that freedom. The God that he evokes has no distinction between the God of Israel and Allah. The faith he espouses is “sustained in our national life by the truths of Sinai, the Sermon on the Mount, the words of the Koran and the varied faiths of our people.” Here is the leader of America who gave his Christmas message to all Americans but did not mention the name of Jesus and the His historical roots to His own people, the Jews. Here is the same president who in an interview with Barbara Walters in January that “we should never ascribe natural disasters or anything else to God.”

It is very sobering when I think of “our” America and the dramatic changes that have occurred in the past four years since George Bush arrived in the Oval Office. Would the political path that we have trod been any different if Al Gore was the sitting president during these years? Probably not. If the Lord of hosts has a time table to accomplish His will upon this planet, who will stand in His way? If God claims sovereign control of all kings and rulers that have existed on this earth, does it not suggest that God truly is in control of the destiny of this planet?

Would America have not existed if George Washington was not alive and exerted his influence on the destiny of this nation? Is it part of the will of God that the forces of international world domination bring two candidates, from “The Skull and Bones”, a secret occultic society as rivals in America’s presidential election? Is it not the sovereign will of God that the international forces of power, greed and control will have their day to exert their dominance over this planet and produce the best social culture that the forces of Satan can build, all in the name of liberty, freedom, peace, harmony, independence with democracy, and good-will to all mankind all under the mantle of a universal ‘god’? The arrogance of man who considers that he is the ‘god’ of his own environment and the controller of his own destiny only must reconsider that the Eternal One of Israel still stands supreme over all.

Is it of no consequence that the United States has become the antagonist against the European Union while the Russians have been the antagonists against the Chinese only to see that the “cold war” of the east against the west has only resurfaced with a different face? Is it of no consequence that the ‘Protest’ant Christian Churches were antagonists against the Roman Catholic Church only to see a merging and blending of the two in the last days? Should we consider that it is possible that fundamental radial Islam with the Wahhabism of the Saudis and the Taliban/al-Qaeda should become antagonists against the traditional Islamic cultures in the Middle East while the Sabbatean Labor Zionists are becoming antagonists against Orthodox Judaism? When the Lord of hosts says that He will divide the sheep and the goats, the wheat and the tares, that He will do and must we doubt His word? Must we also consider that the ‘sheep and the goats” will come out of each of these opposing politico-religious forces?

All around the world we have seen national political campaigns won by the narrowest of margins: Spain and Ukrainia. We have seen new political forces assume power and change the ‘obvious’ political pathway of their nation: Iran. We have seen nationalist cultures writhe in the agony of political dissent and teeter on the bring of civil war: Israel, Iraq and Ukrainia, all with intervention of international forces trying to force their own international agenda.

We have seen the Catholic Church transparently exposed with decades of pedophile corruption, the Anglican/Presbyterian Churches at the crossroads on the ordination of a ‘gay’ bishop, American’s evenly divided over Roe v. Wade and we wonder? We all have asked, are we really participating on a crusade of righteous indignation against global terrorism or are we participanting in the dividing of the nations? Are we truly the bearers of good will to all nations in the All-mighty Name of the Eternal One to bring the “torch of freedom”, economic independence, and liberty for all mankind yet fail to remember the words of the “Prince of Peace” who said,

Matthew 24:4-8 – “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquake in various places. All these things are the beginning of sorrows.”

Are we prepared to consider that our physical and material lives will not get better? Are we prepared that we are in the beginning an era of sorrows. Is it too much to consider that the time of trouble is a part of the ‘beginning of sorrows’ and when the Jewish rabbi, Yahshua ben Yosef was talking with his Jewish talmidim (disciples) he was actually talking about the Jewish people and their descendants at the time of the end?

Matthew 24:9 – “Then they will deliver you (the Jews) up to tribulation and kill you, and you (the Jews) will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.

When the Great Awakening was occurring in the eastern seaboard of the United States in the 1840s, a great awakening was also occurring to the Jewish people. The Jewish awakening was the first longing as a national people beginning to arise with the desire to return to their homeland in the great aliyah that would occur before the return of their Moshiach who is also our Messiah. That Day of Judgment has come, a day in which we are living through today.

Revelation 6:12-17 - And I looked and He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood; and the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs, when it is shaken by a mighty wind.
