"When the Spirit of Truth comes,
he will guide you into all truth;
for he will not speak on his own authority,
but whatever he hears he will speak,
and he will declare to you the things that are to come."

Tomorrow is Elul 29 on the Hebrew calendar, the last day of the Jewish year 5774. Starting Thursday (actually at sunset tomorrow), a new Sabbatical year, the Jewish "Shemitah", will begin. Is this the 'End of the Age'?
THE MYSTERY OF THE SHEMITAH
Pastor Jonathan Cahn, a messianic Jewish Rabbi who leads Hope of the World ministries in New Jersey, just released a new book, The Mystery of the Shemitah, which focuses on the historical relationships between the Jewish "Shemitah", the Sabbatical year of rest that recurs every seven years on the Hebrew calendar, and economic and geopolitical crises.
Of particular note were the last two Shemitahs from September 30, 2000 to September 17, 2001 and from September 13, 2007 to September 29, 2008 (the Hebrew calendar year is based upon a lunar year). Both of these periods saw substantial reversals in the stock market and economy that were capped by major crashes on the very last day of the Jewish year, Elul 29.
Elul 29 has special significance to Jewish believers in the Sabbatical year:
At the end of seven years you will make a release. And this is the manner of the release: to release the hand of every creditor from what he lent his friend; he shall not exact from his friend or his brother, because the time of the release for the Lord has arrived. (Deuteronomy 15:1–2)
Personal debts are considered forgiven at sunset on the 29th of Elul. Since this aspect of shmita is not dependent on the land, it applies to Jews both in Israel and elsewhere. (Wiki)
....there is an intriguing phenomenon surrounding the date of Elul 29 on the Jewish calendar. As Rabbi Cahn discovered and spelled out in his book, The Harbinger, on this last day on the Jewish calendar in the last two Sabbatical Years, 2001 and 2008 (Sabbatical Years occur every seven years under Jewish tradition), two of the three largest point drops in the DJIA in stock market history occurred:
As pointed out in the section of my April (2012) blog dubbed, "The Mystery Of The Shmita & The Septennial Sabbatical Cycle", it's an incredible coincidence that two of the three largest point drops in the Dow struck on the last day of the seven-year Jewish Sabbatical cycle. In fact, statistically the odds of this occurring are more than a million to one.
So maybe God's trying to make a point with us. What point could that be?
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. [2 Peter 3:9]
Thus, a year has gone by and America still stands, but I still feel great trepidation for the future. Pretty much everything I pointed out in my 'Fate Of The Union blog' last year remains the case. If anything, the wrongs are worse and man's self-destructive mass delusions have become more severe and insane.
Last year I highlighted why I believe America is the "Mother of Harlots" mentioned in Revelation 17-18 that is destroyed by fire in an hour's time by the prophetic "Beast", which I believe is Russia. Since my "apocalyptic vision" in February of 1991, which led me to comprehend what Bible prophecy means, I've been struggling to reveal the truth accordingly, although seemingly to no avail. But, alas, this is what is supposed to be the case as the Apostle Peter forewarned:
The Day of the Lord
1 Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. 2 I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.
3 Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.[a]
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.[b] That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. 15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
17 Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen. [2 Peter 3]
I'd like to write that this is all about the fate that man makes for himself, but is this true? Who is authoring this tragic tale in which we dwell and why is the script according to the apocalyptic SCRIPTures? How can HIS-story be made right?
My central thesis is that man as a species is certifiably insane at the current juncture, suffering from collective emotional and mental instability and associated extraordinary popular delusions, thus constituting a danger to himself and the world he inhabits.
This latest "coincidence", or more aptly "historical correlation", was further corroboration of the theory I've been positing that thought is all that matter's (matter is) rather than vice versa (idealism over materialism, i.e., the "conscious" whole is greater than the sum of the parts). More so, meaning is primary and what is "written" by the Creator (universal consciousness within which we are co-creators) to convey meaning to us (and through us) is secondary. In this sense, our universe is effectively like a 'never-ending story' where the essential meaning is the guiding force for what is expressed through temporal bits and pieces of material creation and destruction, e.g., Elliott Wave fractals of human progress and regress, biological growth and decay, life and death, etc.
What's being written in God's creation is temporal, but the meaning, the spirit of HIStory, is eternal and ultimately the source of all that is. Human beings are creatures perfectly designed to conceive and receive meaning, God is the universal meaning-maximizer and, as with all great stories, there come concluding chapters when the whole point of what's been written is made clear for all who are reading. In this sense, it is rather telling that the final chapter of The Bible (meaning 'The Book') is called 'Revelation':
An Apocalypse (Greek: apokálypsis; "lifting of the veil" or "revelation") is a disclosure of something hidden from the majority of mankind in an era dominated by falsehood and misconception, i.e. the veil to be lifted. The Apocalypse of John is the Book of Revelation, the last book of the New Testament. (Wikipedia)
But what meaning is to be realized via the "Apocalypse"?
It's really quite simple. Only the author of a story can know events in future chapters before they "unfold", i.e., before they are "read" by others. More so, we are as creatures effectively characters in the Creation being authored by our Creator. The Author of our universe stands outside of time and space and knows the full story we experience as unfolding HIStory from beginning to end. Thus, the fulfillment of prophecy in the Bible's last chapter is PARTICULARLY REVEALING IN THAT THE EXISTENCE OF GOD THE AUTHOR, AND TRUE AUTHORITY OVER HIS-STORY, IS ESTABLISHED since only the sovereign, omniscient Author of the story could have foreshadowed to characters in the book within which we dwell momentous events that would transpire some two millennium later in human history. ("Scientifically", this means that the four-dimensional holographic illusion of our universe from beginning to end is fractally-embedded on the 3-dimensional surface of space we measure and "experience" over time as unfolding "reality".)
That this all seems upside down to everyone around me is by definition. Truly man is smart enough to understand this no matter how subjective he may have been made....and that's the difference between the temporal, subjective fictions of man versus the eternal, objective reality of God.
This morning I opened my email and found a message from Robert Prechter, the "Elliott Wave Theorist", that simply stated: "I think it’s over."
While I've sent many, many emails to Bob, I don't think he's EVER sent one to me that wasn't a response.
Note that his message was received at 9:35am EST, and 8 minutes later the S&P500 peaked above the 1300 mark and then sharply reversed course:
If this is the turning point in mass mood that Prechter and I believe it is according to the Elliott Wave Principle, then what may follow is what I've dubbed the "Apocalypse Wave" and a 90%+ plunge in stock prices:
This week has been a profound historical parallel to what occurred in mid-July of 1990 just before Iraq's invasion of Kuwait that year. On July 16th and 17th of that year the DJIA closed at 2999.75 two days in a row, i.e., just below the psychologically important 3000 mark. The DJIA never closed at or above 3000 that year and immediately with the DJIA reaching this high point Saddam Hussein made a speech threatening Kuwait after which Iraq invaded Kuwait precipitating an oil-shock and 25% reversal in stock prices as the world economy was shoved into recession:
A comparable pattern occurred in October of 1973 when the DJIA climbed to the 1000 mark just as the Yom Kippur Arab-Israeli War occurred and the subsequent OPEC oil embargo that spiked oil prices, sent the world economy into a severe recession and triggered a 40% drop in stock prices by the following year:
As overviewed in my thesis and a recent blog, I've discovered that this pattern of historical "shocks" occurring with reversals from psychologically important thousand marks in major stock indices like the DJIA is common around the world. I believe we are seeing a replay of this market phenomenon at the current historical juncture.
All week the DJIA was flirting with the psychologically important 12000 mark with the index reaching a closing high of 11990 yesterday:
Meanwhile, political upheavals started to unfold in the Middle East and Africa leading to the downfall of the governments in Tunisia, Lebanon and, as of today, Egypt. Instability is also afflicting Yemen and Jordan. While this had seemingly gone unnoticed by world markets this week, with violent protests in Egypt today the potential for trouble hit Wall Street's radar and stock prices sank while oil prices surged.
What is this leading up to?
Given my life story, I can't help but point out that we are approaching the 20 year anniversary of my "apocalyptic vision" that began with seeing a special report of a chemical SCUD missile attack on Israel. At the time I was regularly corresponding with Robert Prechter, and I described what I had seen in the postscript of a letter I wrote to him on February 11th, 1991:
P.S. Please don't mark me off as too insane for telling you about this, but probably the strangest thing in my life happened the other night. Something I'm still at a loss to explain. I was watching T.V. by myself around 11 p.m. on Wednesday (2/6/91), just flipping through the stations, when I stopped on CNBC. The next thing I knew, Tom Brokaw was on the air saying something about a SCUD chemical attack on Israel. NBC's Haifa correspondent was on the air and Brokaw asked him about the situation. The correspondent said that a SCUD attack was underway and that chemical agents were involved. Brokaw then said something to the tune of, "well you better put your gas mask on then." In the midst of all this I was actually yelling out the door to my dormitory floor that a chemical attack on Israel was underway. I flipped the station to the normal NBC channel and the special report was still on. It then went off and regular programming continued, I immediately got up and told friends in my dorm that Israel had just been hit with chemical bombs. The next two hours I spent flipping through the stations trying to find more news. The next day I spent trying to explain what I had seen to both myself and my friends. The report never existed.
(Note: The above special report is similar to what I saw, but it was not the same one. No special report of a SCUD missile attack on Israel aired the evening I saw it.)
The day after mailing this letter to Prechter, I had another, far more disturbing experience.
I was with a friend who had just become interested in Nostradamus and prophecies that might connected with the Gulf War underway at the time. After showing him some books I had on Nostradamus, I began reading him the following prophecy from the eighth chapter of the Bible's Book of Revelation:
When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, (1) there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer; and he was given much incense to mingle with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne; and the smoke of the incense rose with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel before God. Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth; and (2) there were peals of thunder, loud noises, flashes of lightening, and an earthquake.
Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets made ready to blow them.
The first angel blew his trumpet, and (3) there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, which fell on the earth; and a third of the earth was burnt up, and a third of the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
The second angel blew his trumpet, and (4) something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships destroyed.
The third angel blew his trumpet, and (5) a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the fountains of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died of the water, because it was made bitter.
The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and (6) a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light was darkened; a third of the day was kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.
Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice, as it flew in midheaven, "Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets which the three angels are about to blow!" [Revelation 8]
Up to that time, I had already come to believe that this prophecy is a depiction of a future nuclear war. Even though it was written some 2000 years ago, it accurately describes each major phase of a global nuclear holocaust:
1. The half hour of "silence in heaven" during which ICBM's would traverse their orbits before striking targets after being launched.
2. The thunderous reports, bright flashes, and earthquake associated with nuclear detonations.
3. The nuclear blasts of "hail and fire, mixed with blood" followed by raging fires that would consume much of the earth.
4. The nuclear explosions, "like a great mountain, burning with fire", all over the world's seas as ports, ships, and submarines are attacked.
5. The lethal contamination of water supplies by radioactive fallout ("Wormwood") for weeks after a nuclear war. (Note that the word wormwood is capitalized in the prophecy, suggesting it refers to something specific.)
6. The blanketing of the sky by vast dust clouds after a nuclear war such that sunlight, moonlight, and starlight is obscured thereby causing a "nuclear winter".
Upon reading this prophecy to my friend, I received supernatural validation of its meaning. Just as I began reading it, my friend and I heard an air-raid siren followed by the bellowed percussion of a nuclear explosion. The authenticity of the experience led my friend and I to rush to the sub-basement of a nearby library. From there, I contacted the fire department to see if any sirens had been sounded and/or if there had been any sort of explosion; however, nothing of the sort occurred.
So here we are some 20 years after my supernatural vision related to the prophetic Apocalypse and, just as the DJIA reverses from the 12000 mark, Robert Prechter sends me a note that he 'thinks it's all over'. The next thing you know there's a popular revolt underway in Egypt just after Hezbollah took over Lebanon and world stock markets begin to tank.
WHO is Authoring HIStory? Only the author of a story can know future chapters before they unfold, although some characters might receive a foreshadow.
Maybe there really is a "Grand Designer" to The Grand Design:
Does "science" seriously believe the laws of physics made the laws of physics rather than our Lawmaker?
In the past two years I have delivered a "Fate Of The Union" blog on the evening of the President's annual address to the nation warning that America's days are numbered in stark contrast to the glowing optimism put forth by our nation's misleaders. Thus far my grave outlook has proven ill-fated rather than America, and for this I am grateful. However, I believe the time draws near when my despair for America proves true. The 'audacity of false hope' can only go so far when God is no longer heeded.
The bottom line is that America has fallen into temptation and is being delivered into Evil. That this is not popularly recognized is par for the course for a spiritually fallen people who worship their own works rather than their Creator Who makes all work, life and well-being possible:
"Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall." [Proverbs 16:18]
In this regard, I think it's important to put the United States into the context of Bible prophecy. As an American, I dislike this harsh truth and what it means for me, my loved ones and the great nation in which I was born. However, as a servant of God I need to convey what I know to be true and plead for honest repentance while there's still time for each individual who still has open eyes and hearing ears.
1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”
3 So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. 5 And on her forehead a name was written:
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.
The Meaning of the Woman and the Beast
7 But the angel said to me, “Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. 8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 “Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. 10 There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time. 11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition.
12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. 14 These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”
15 Then he said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues. 16 And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 17 For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. 18 And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.”
Now let's break down this chapter from Revelation.
1. Note what John is being shown: "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication."
America is a nation that sits on many waters and her unrepentant hedonism, materialism and sinfulness has been spread around the world bringing great wealth and pleasure to all those who trade (fornicate) with her.
2. The chapter continues: The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
This worldly power being described is very wealthy from its global trading (fornication), but what of the mystery of 'Babylon the great' and 'the mother of harlots'? I've long puzzled over this passage, but in recent months it dawned upon me what this likely means. A harlot is a prostitute. What do prostitutes do? They do anything, no matter how immoral and wrong, for money and pleasure. Is there a more apt description of modern America?
3. As to the 'Meaning of the Woman and the Beast', I believe this is all about the meaning of America and Russia.
First off, the beast "was, is not and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition" and those 'whose names are not written in the Book of Life will marvel when they see the beast'. I believe this beast is Russia, a power that was in the form of the Soviet Union, now is not with the feigned Soviet collapse and is now ascending out of the bottomless pit in the form of the the rise of the Antichrist.
Secondly, the seven kings over which the woman sits are the G7 nations of which five have fallen as world powers (Britian, Germany, France, Italy and Japan), one is (America) and one has not yet come and will do so only for a short time (Canada after America is destroyed?). As for the beast that was, and is not, being the eighth, I think this represents the G8 which includes Russia.
Third, the ten horns with ten kings that give their power and authority to the beast, this is consistent with the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) that will strategically be combined with Russia when global nuclear war comes, which is a one hour conflict for the most part.
The idea that these nations make war with the Lamb makes sense to me since I believe I'm the Lamb and I'm now living in America the target of the coming attack by the prophetic beast.
Fourth, this should speak for itself:
"The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire. For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.”
America is the melting pot of 'peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues' including New York City/Wall Street which financially reigns over the kings of the earth. Russia and its allies hate "Capitalist" America and will 'burn her with fire' via thermonuclear attack.
As for the prophetic fall of Bablyon the whore, this is spelled out in next chapter:
Revelation 18
The Fall of Babylon the Great
1 After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”
4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. 6 Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. 7 In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ 8 Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.
The World Mourns Babylon’s Fall
9 “The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, 10 standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’
11 “And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore: 12 merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; 13 and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men. 14 The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16 and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls! 17 For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.’ Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance 18 and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like this great city?’
19 “They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she is made desolate.’
20 “Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!”
Finality of Babylon’s Fall
21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore. 22 The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore. 23 The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.”
Let's break this chapter down:
1. The initial allusion to America seems pretty clear: “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen....For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.” World trade with the abundance of luxury in America has made the merchants of the world rich.
2. There follows a call by God to: "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues." Getting out of America before it's destroyed by a third world war is truly advisable.
3. America's "sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities." Thus, God will "render to her just as she rendered to (God), and repay her double according to her works." To the exent that America has "glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure (God will) give her torment and sorrow". That this will not be foreseen in America seems reflected by: "for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’"
4. A remarkable characteristic of an all-out attack by Russia on America is that, with modern missiles and weapons of mass destruction, total destruction will be unleashed in an hour's time. Hence, "her plagues will come in one day — death and mourning and famine, and she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her."
5. Needless to say, once America and the largest economy in the world is destroyed, “The kings of the earth who committed fornication (trade) and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon (NYC), that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come....For in one hour such great riches came to nothing."
6. In what seems to be a clear reference to world trade, we read: "Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like this great city?’ They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she is made desolate.’"
7. Regardless of what Americans would like to believe about themselves, apparently God is not that much of a fan of our ways given that this fiery destruction via Russia's nuclear attack leads to: “Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!”
8. As is likely, following a Russian nuclear attack, America will be gone forevermore: “Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore. The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore. The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived."
So how close is America's outlook to what is expressed by the Book of Revelation above?
Rather appropriately given what's explained in my thesis, over the past two days the DJIA has risen to the psychologically important 12,000 level:
The outlandish optimism expressed by President Obama this evening is matched with a similarly insane outlook on Wall Street as shown by measures of investor confidence:
As I've been warning about in this blog and on the internet for many years, America and Western Civilization are literally certifiably insane:
The collective confidence and mass optimism prevailing is completely out of touch with historical reality. This is well represented by the Dow reaching 12,000 just as the key international flash points I've been warning about, i.e., the Middle East, Korea, etc., are on the verge of being ignited per Kremlin plan.
Since the strong delusion prevailing in this world could not be countered no matter what I've tried to communicate, tragically only reality will apparently make the difference, and this, I'm afraid, is the fate of the union.
I hope I'm wrong again, but somehow I don't think so this time around.
I think I should point out that it would come as no surprise to me if North Korea invaded South Korea relatively soon.
Why?
Follow the bouncing ball.
1. On Christmas Day following the 1991 winter solstice lunar eclipse, Mikhail Gorbachev resigned and the Soviet Union officially disbanded. This signified the end of the Cold War which was, in fact, part of a massive strategic deception of the West:
3. North Korea is a puppet state of Moscow and Beijing and the DMZ separating the Koreas is the final active battlefront between the Communist East and Capitalist West. Thus, it appears the "Old Enemy" is likely planning to ignite the East-West 'Hot War' via Korea (and the Mideast) in the wake of waging false peace over the past 20-or-so years per a long-term plan.
The bottom line is that if the end of the Cold War occurred on Christmas Day in the wake of a lunar eclipse on the winter solstice in 1991, then maybe the Kremlin is planning to start the Hot War in the wake of a lunar eclipse on the winter solstice this year.
The Kremlin has been pretty brazen in its deceptive and ultimately murderous manipulation of world history, yet everyone in the West continues to believe in the "strong delusion".
It's high time for the 'money changers' to find new work. Banksters have surreptitiously looted the fruits of man's labor for long enough and while they might think the power to mint money and create credit is the power to author human history, there is only One true Author to whom ALL are accountable.
I find noteworthy that the most popular current comment on the following video is:
Dedicated to Ireland who entered the International Monetary Fund ..
Keep a firm grip ..
Greetings from GREECE ..
Now watch and listen:
For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’ ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’ [Revelation 7:13-17]
Ireland's international bailout boosted its bank stocks Monday but outraged many hard-pressed taxpayers, who questioned why the government's pension reserves must be ravaged as part of a deal that burdens the whole country with the mistakes of a rich elite.
Just days after the Federal Reserve will announce it has launched QE2, the Fed will hold a major conference at Jekyll Island, celebrating the secret meeting held 100 years ago that resulted in the creation of the Fed. [MORE]
This has served them well for a century, but the time has come to hand these usurpers of God's Creation their pink slips.
What do I mean by this? Think of it like this.
In the beginning, at the Moment of Creation, the now so mislabeled "Big Bang", there was pure energy. Per the first law of thermodynamics that energy has neither been created nor destroyed since the beginning....it has only been transformed. How is the course of energy transformation directed in our world? Well....we do it everyday. After all, human beings are energy forms that choose the course of future change. But what influences our transformational choices? In the modern age, MONEY is obviously key, hence Lloyd Blankfein's comment about doing "God's work".
Those who "make money" and credit are directing the course of historical change in a critical way. After all, they effectively control everyone's future income at virtually no expense to themselves via the magic of fractional reserve banking and credit creation, and all must follow accordingly! Keep in mind that when you use credit you are effectively pulling future income forward via a bank intermediary that charges interest and lays ultimate claim to purchased assets in the event of default. For this privileged power over future income and national wealth banks produce nothing but accounting entries. What's more, big banks which account for most of the industry are effectively no longer exposed to risk given their failsafe-backing from taxpayers through our hijacked governments. The problem is this organized crime syndicate, this den of thieves, is misleading Western Civilization into Evil and what's tantamount to collective suicide.
So what's the solution? I dare say that's why God created me, i.e., to deliver manKIND from Evil. The banksters need to be fired and the power to create money returned to We The People where it belongs.
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." - Thomas Jefferson
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. [Ephesians 6:10-18]
Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword. [Revelation 6:4]
Today is the birthday of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who I believe is "Rex Mundi", i.e., The King of the World. In the words of my Russian nationalist friend, Vladimir Putin is deemed by his followers to be "God's Anointed Orthodox Autocratic Tsar" or, as they like to think, Tsar of Tsars, destined to rule over the world with an iron rod. In biblical prophecy this persona is better known as the historical usurper of Christ, i.e., the Antichrist:
On this occasion, I'd like to wish Rex Mundi an eternal swim in the lake of burning sulfur as spelled out in Revelation, unless, of course, he's willing to confess to his deceitful, murderous ways (of which the world has only seen the beginning), repent before the true God of Creation and abdicate his throne to the rightful heir of the Kingdom of God, i.e., me.
Of course, most reading this, particularly in the secular, scientifically-minded West, don't know what the heck I'm writing about since they are effectively "unbelievers". This is par for the course of the strong delusions dominating this world. The reality is that this universe within which we dwell is, for all intents and purposes, FICTIONAL and only the MEANING of HIStory is eternal in any sense. After all, how is prophecy possible unless there is an Author who knows future chapters before they unfold? We are living in the midst of an epic drama being authored by the God of LOVE in which the antagonist is the god of HATE currently headquartered in the Kremlin. I believe I'm the protagonist, the Lamb of God, destined to conquer the Evil One and save this ill-fated world from otherwise certain self-destruction by wielding the sword of TRUTH which is relative in this subjective realm by definition.
As for Christianity, which should be on my side, unfortunately even The Sons of Light are not with me at this juncture as the darkness of the beast's deceit has blinded this entire world. While the odds are seemingly completely against me, I suggest you don't bet against Christ for I know the God of all Creation is on my side.
“You are the children of your father, the Devil, and you want to follow your father’s desires. From the very beginning he was a murderer and has never been on the side of truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he is only doing what is natural to him, because he is a liar and the father of all lies.” [John 8:44]
"Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out." [John 12:31]
"There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." [Luke 21:25-28]
On June 20th I posted a blog, "6/26 Lunar Eclipse Conjunct Pluto and the Cardinal Climax", that highlighted the outlook of Arch Crawford who has time and time again made startlingly accurate forecasts for the markets and world history based upon astrology.
Crawford is currently focused on an astrological "Cardinal Climax" alignment of the planets that he believes portends momentous, calamitous historical events in the weeks ahead.
On August 1, give or take a week, we’ll have the most five-planet alignments in perhaps thousands of years. Known as the “Cardinal Climax,” this is the meanest, nastiest, most challenging and most transformational of any planetary phenomena in all of written history!
We’re giving readers a link to a chart showing the Cardinal Climax Planetary Alignment for Aug. 1, 2010, from New York City:
What do you see?
This is the view of the planets from New York City on Aug. 1, at 6am. We have the most planets in the tightest alignments and at the supposedly 'sensitive' Zero degrees of Cardinal signs. It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
I looked at records going back to the 1800’s, and this is the most difficult alignment I found. When I was at a conference in Boston last month, someone said this was the most difficult alignment they have seen in the last "1,000 years." Another person told me this is the worst alignment in "10,000 years."
What are possible consequences?
Worst cases include a nuclear accident. Nuclear war. Massive societal collapse. Maybe a pole flip, which can wipe out nearly everything.
Cardinal Climax is especially intimidating because of the proximity to the widely touted Mayan Calendar End Date. Plus, the Christians are looking for the Return of Jesus and/or the Rapture, the Muslims await the return of the umteenth Imam, the White Buffalo has been born, and Jews are fighting over the right to rebuild Solomon's Temple on the 'temple mount' in Jerusalem. These are all signs of “end times” by many different cultures.
The one thing most convincing to me is that there are more people alive on the planet today than all who have ever lived in recorded history. So it may be that every soul is on board for this event!
It's possible that part of what is about to unfold is the Revelation of God, i.e., the second coming of Christ, who I believe is me.
If so, then what is effectively underway is that I am, in essence, the source of humanity's rebirth, i.e., the meaning through which life resurrects and continues forth. I really don't want such a role, but apparently "I am that I am" by birth, so it is what it is.
Per legend, around 2000 years ago on this day, Jesus of Nazareth was put to death on a Cross.
Why did this happen?
Well....the bottom line is that Jesus was crucified for voicing his blasphemous opinion that he was, in fact, Christ and therefore his point-of-view was of divine relevance. Since the "authorities" differed about this contention, they sought to prove who was "right" by executing him.
In this light, I'd like to offer up my own opinion at this time.
Thus, on this occasion of Good Friday 2010, let me openly espouse my view that I am, in fact, the reincarnation of Jesus of Nazareth, i.e., the second coming of Christ.
The premises for this opinion are the following:
1. My birthmark
2. My physical appearance
3. My apocalyptic vision
4. My perspective
5. My psychological profile
MY BIRTHMARK
When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” [Matthew 16:13-16]
Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things. But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.” Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist. [Matthew 17:11-13]
But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation. [Mark 3:29]
I was born with a diamond-shaped birthmark on my left hand:
I believe this is relevant because of the research done by Professor Ian Stevenson on evidence of reincarnation. In a paper, Birthmarks and Birth Defects Corresponding to Wounds on Deceased Persons, presented at the Eleventh Annual Meeting of the Society for Scientific Exploration held at Princeton University from June 11th to 13th, 1992, Dr. Stevenson offered the following thesis:
Abstract
Almost nothing is known about why pigmented birthmarks (moles or nevi) occur in particular locations of the skin. The causes of most birth defects are also unknown. About 35% of children who claim to remember previous lives have birthmarks and/or birth defects that they (or adult informants) attribute to wounds on a person whose life the child remembers. The cases of 210 such children have been investigated. The birthmarks were usually areas of hairless, puckered skin; some were areas of little or no pigmentation (hypopigmented macules); others were areas of increased pigmentation (hyperpigmented nevi). The birth defects were nearly always of rare types. In cases in which a deceased person was identified the details of whose life unmistakably matched the child's statements, a close correspondence was nearly always found between the birthmarks and/or birth defects on the child and the wounds on the deceased person. In 43 of 49 cases in which a medical document (usually a postmortem report) was obtained, it confirmed the correspondence between wounds and birthmarks (or birth defects). There is little evidence that parents and other informants imposed a false identity on the child in order to explain the child's birthmark or birth defect. Some paranormal process seems required to account for at least some of the details of these cases, including the birthmarks and birth defects.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. [Isaiah 53:2-3]
When souls reincarnate, there are similar appearances from one lifetime to the next. There is an intriguing web site, "Return Of The Revolutionaries", that examines this phenomenon. As I examined in my blog, "Russian Leaders: A Question Of Reincarnation?", in the case of the Antichrist, I believe this world is dealing with the reincarnation of RasPUTIN and Russia's pre-Communist imperial throne:
An answer has emerged from an exciting new field of science: forensic anthropology. Using methods similar to those police have developed to solve crimes, British scientists, assisted by Israeli archeologists, have re-created what they believe is the most accurate image (below) of the most famous face in human history.
Interestingly, the face derived by Popular Mechanics is similar to my own:
(Bear in mind we are best guessing at the appearance of Christ 2000 years ago.)
This is consistent with the case for my being the reincarnation of Jesus of Nazareth.
MY APOCALYPTIC VISION
Another key reason I believe I'm the second coming of Christ is an apocalyptic vision I experienced while in college almost 20 years ago in connection with the Book of Revelation. Specifically, during the first Gulf War in February of 1991, I saw a special report of a chemical SCUD missile attack on Israel (not a dream). About a week after that, as I began reading aloud the words of the eighth chapter from the Bible's Book of Revelation to a friend, I and my friend heard an air-raid siren followed by the bellowed, massive percussion of a nuclear explosion. The authenticity of the experience was such that we rushed to the subbasement of the local university library from which I contacted the fire department and confirmed that there had been no such siren and explosion at the time.
This profound experience verified what I already suspected, i.e., that biblical prophecies about the End Times and Apocalypse are related to modern times and depict a future nuclear third world war between East and West. Furthermore, such supernatural revelations are extraordinarily rare and indicative of a key character role in the context of "The Book" being authored by God(?) through us(?) in which we dwell. I believe this role is that of Christ.
MY PERSPECTIVE
Finally, from the time I was self-aware I've had the sense that I am Christ. I am the embodiment of "the way, the truth and the life", i.e., MY story is the organizing principle of HIStory....the effective MEANING of God (the "Word") in human history.
If 'in the beginning', at the moment of Creation, there was pure energy (capacity to do work), and energy can be neither created nor destroyed per the first law of thermodynamics, then all that has occurred since the start of everything is transFORMation of the original energy (E=MC^2). The issue is whether or not there is a purpose to the form our universe has taken over time....to the work being done. What is the meaning the Creator is seeking to convey to His creatures through the experiential letters, words, paragraphs and chapters of this uni-verse within which we dwell? What's more, as co-creators, how shall we choose to author our life stories, what purposeful work is to be accomplished through us, if there is an overarching Author to human HIStory (which apparently centers around MYstory)?
"An apparently miraculous theory is exactly the kind of theory we should be looking for in the particular matter of the origin of life...A miracle is something that happens, but which is exceedingly surprising...although the odds against the coincidence are extremely high, we can still calculate them. They are not literally zero...It could happen. The odds against such coincidence are unimaginably great but they are not incalculably great." - Richard Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker, p.159
One way all this can be comprehended is in the notion of the "holographic universe". (After all, what are the dimensions of conscious being?) In this holographic universe, my existence, for all intents and purposes, is the personification of God's spirit (meaning). (Although even I have trouble comprehending what this all really means.)
In this context, what is relevant is whether or not you believe in me since in this subjective realm I represent, for all intents and purposes, the temporal form of the eternal reality of God's good will, i.e., the "Word" key to the meaning of the Book being authored by God in which we dwell.
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." [John 10:10]
You are free creatures, and the choice is yours in this subjective realm.
MY PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE
"Everything that we know about him (Jesus) conforms so perfectly to the clinical picture of paranoia that it is hardly conceivable that people can even question the accuracy of the diagnosis." (From - Was Jesus Crazy? An Inquiry into the Mental Health of Jesus Christ)
Of course, given my perspective, virtually everyone will believe I'm crazy rather than Christ.
If the Creator wants to infuse himself into the Creation....if the Author of the story wants to be meaningfully involved in the script being written....then you all best not step on his toes if you want to maintain a role in the eternal epic of life within which we dwell. Just a kindly suggestion...
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. [2 Thessalonians 2:8]

For that Millennium has never yet been made a reality in the history of the world, and what has been destined by God, must become a reality. Who will make it a reality if not those who up to the present day have been the most martyred and reviled, carved up and downtrodden, i.e., the Slavs and the other Orthodox Peoples?" - quote taken from "A Treasury of Serbian Orthodox Spirituality" written by Serbian Bishop Nikolai Velimirovich (1880-1956)
