“God is dead” Nietzsche, 1883
“Nietzsche is dead” God, 1900
Expanding upon last weeks posting, hermeneutics is influenced by the social and philosophical underpinnings of the times, and it is difficult at best for one to separate himself from his contemporary situation understand the lessons and times in which differing realities were the order of the day. Biblical times are very different than now, and this difference is reflected in how the Bible is applied to contemporary times versus how it was applied in earlier times.
Most of human history is incorporated in what could be called the agrarian age, in which agriculture was the mainstay for the vast majority of people. Life was simpler back then, and there was more of a sense of harmony and connectedness with the community and nature. Being very involved in the community was a necessity, and dependency upon God a common trait, as this society was very aware of the need for the earth to produce, and clearly understood what would happen if there were natural disasters or crop failures. Understanding God and understanding the need to pray to Him for a successful harvest was well understood, and there was a connectedness with God and with fellow man for the sake of survival.
God was held in awe by the vast majority of peoples for millennia, as they directly observed manifestations through nature, whether disaster or bounty, and had more sense of His Majesty and Holiness. Teaching about the unchanging nature of God was easily understandable, and was in harmony with what one could directly observe in one’s environment and culture. Respect for fellow man as well as environment was well established (I’m not saying there were not evil men back then). This system remained nearly unchanged for 1500 years, until the time of the Protestant reformation.
The invention of the printing press allowed for the explosion of knowledge, as up to this time, knowledge was imparted through primarily oral means, and thus limited. As knowledge began to increase, so did technology, and as technology increased, so did one’s ability to spend more time on what could be considered esoteric pursuits. As more were able to pursue matters other than survival and farming, these pursuits began to investigate and question the reality that had been passed down for millennia. The great demythologization of God began and was lead by the philosophers, who began to remove God from every day life and matters. As knowledge and technology advanced, it ‘appeared’ that God was not involved, and it seemed that God was more a myth than reality. Man began to solve many of the issues once thought in the realm of the gods, and began to dismiss the whole ideal of a god in the first place. Who needs a god when we can solve all of our problems?
This was ultimately manifested in the philosophy of the existentialists, and most notably, Friedrich Nietzsche, who boldly claimed God was dead. Karl Marx took this one step further and boldly declared that religion was “the opiate of the masses” and these two men began to usher in the philosophical underpinnings of the twentieth century. We can also throw in Charles Darwin, who proposed man evolved from lesser beings, thus taking what was once the Realm of God, Creation, and making it a random and meaningless event. With God being out of the picture, man is free to behave in any manner he wants, and there is no right or wrong, and all people are free to make their own decisions, with one decision not being superior to another. This philosophical system is known as relativism.
Since man has a natural need to have and worship a power greater than himself, the state has now taken the place of God, and is given deity status (that is why one can observe what appears to be rational people freely giving away their autonomy despite glaring and open violations of this by the state). Man’s allegiance and worship of the state is nearly complete, and as such, leaves little room for God, and the idea that we are accountable to a Being that requires certain behaviors from us, and set forth the moral order. In modern times, these two forces are diametrically opposed, and it is no more apparent than the push to separate ‘church and state’.
Relativism also has seeped into the Church as well. Many in the church no longer believe in the basic tenets of Christianity, as they themselves have not seen God intervene in man’s affairs, and as our technology exponentially increases and we violate more of God’s laws, there appears to be no apparent repercussions. For many, even in the Church, God is truly dead, and is irrelevant to ‘the new times’ we live in. The more dangerous form of relativism in the Church has to do with the idea of heaven and hell, and ultimately Satan and demons. There are many who hold (even some priests) that Satan is a myth, and that ultimately, we all make it to heaven no matter what , because God is a God of Love.
Does God the Father owe Jesus an apology?
If one follows through on the prevalent relativistic thought process currently in most churches, it would seem that Jesus death and resurrection was a ‘waste of time”. Most Churches teach that we are all basically ‘good people’ and as such are going to make it to heaven. Our modern times of relativism and ‘tolerance’ have been applied to God as well, and the idea of hell is simply not palpable to modern man. So in our arrogance, we are now dictating to God the reality of heaven and hell, and telling God how things are to be. Our holding relativism as the ‘new religion’ has pervaded our own sense of understanding, and we are now forcing our beliefs onto God and believing that he is complying.
Relativism dictates that we do not judge others, that no moral standard is better than another, that we can separate some aspects of our lives from others, and that in the end; we are all basically the same and will end up with the same reward. So, it is not inconceivable to be a ‘good Christian’ and be for legalized child killing, because in the end, ‘we all go to heaven because God loves us”. Most behaviors can be justified, and those that hold to Biblical precepts are labeled ‘old fashioned, rigid, judgmental” or other pejorative terms meant to stifle discourse and/or challenges to this bizarre philosophy.
If we end up going to heaven no matter what we do, then morality and the idea of right and wrong is just some archaic and inconvenient nonsense that only the ‘unenlightened’ adhere to. If this were true, then the Bible in its totality would need to be eliminated, as it would be based upon lies and could not be a guiding light for mankind. We would be our own saviors, and there would be no need for a savior, nor really a God for that matter, as we can deal with all of our own issues. Jesus, in effect died for nothing, and his father owes him an apology.
By looking at our modern times, we see the most violent of ages, with the greatest number of wars, abortions, concentration camps, etc. We have an epidemic of perversions of every stripe, lying, deception, thievery, disrespect, drug and alcohol use, preoccupation with sports and comfort and convenience, selfishness, hatred, pride and sloth. Are these the traits and characteristics of ‘saved’ people?
This is the dilemma in properly reading the Bible. The Bible is teaching a clear message that is contradictory to what the empirical world is showing, and it sows doubts about the Word of God. As doubt increases, so does the rebellion, and unfortunately the Church is in compliance with this doubt and sows plenty itself by its contradictory behaviors and teachings. We cannot apply relativistic philosophy to absolute truth the Bible teaches. This is why many in the realm of prophecy can make claims that prophecy is fulfilled even though it does not meet the qualifications; because that is what their life experiences have shown. It fits right into their scheme of thinking, that meeting all the criteria is relative, and some prophecy can be left out, at their discretion.
To sum it up, we read the Bible through the lenses of our personal experiences and contemporary times we live in. We are used to being told half truths, so it would follow that we read the Bible in the same fashion. Our Churches teach in the same fashion, and this only seems to clarify that truth is relative, and we choose for ourselves. Dangerous times we live in, and these times really require more vigilance to truth, not less.

FOURTH OF JULY IN THE NATIONS CAPITAL
George Offerman
Several of us were downtown on the parade route with graphic signs of aborted babies, and garnered a fair amount of attention from those on the parade route. Even though we had several people complain (including a police man) the majority of people going by seemed to be in favor of what we were doing. However, no one was willing to assist us or willing to even hand out literature to those passing by.
Jonathan Darnel, from Pro life unity, coordinated this event, and he ended up doing some good street preaching as well. There were several young people who engaged in very stimulating debate with us and it seems they primarily reflected a desire to hash out the issue in their minds. A few I was able to speak to were former Catholics, and stated they had multiple issues with the Church, which reflected directly upon the Churches dereliction of duty in not teaching the faith, and not defending the babies.
During our time there, the majority of us seemed to sense that this may be the last opportunity to get the word out or possibly because by this time next year, things will be so bad that the country may not be in much of a festive mood. Our problems cannot be swept under the rug forever, and like the vast majority who looked at the signs, and then turned away, as if it would make legalized child killing go away, we will be visited by problems (or judgments) so large, that the unprepared and uninformed will be overwhelmed by their magnitude.
Like those who looked away, and wanted to ignore the reality of legalized child killing, God will be visiting soon, and will be ultimately removing all the current barriers in the way of our salvation. Comfort and convenience will be a thing of the past, and we all will be confronted with the realities of our culture of death. Preparation is so important now, and it is of the greatest urgency to make this happen in the very limited time we have left. Too many do not want to hear this message, and want to pretend that things will magically turn around, and life will be what it used to be like just a few short years ago. Unfortunately, it will not, and this will soon be obvious.
Biblically speaking, our society cannot live on the blood of the innocent and be blessed. It is unfortunate the Churches refuse to teach this very fundamental truth, and the majority of Christians walk around in a near comatose state and want to believe that they can continue on in superficial worship of God and receive abundant blessings in return. We are soon to find out how mistaken this pop theology really is, and we will be subjected to the same conditions we have meted out to the most vulnerable in our society. Soon we will know what hardships and suffering really is, and God help us on that day.
Independence Day is a great holiday, and a good remembrance of those who staked life liberty and fortune so that others may live freely. We spit on the graves of the founding fathers by playing word games and holding onto demonic theology that states some are not worthy of life because they are inconvenient, too expensive, or whatever other excuse can be fashioned. Our founders acknowledged God, and also acknowledged that only people who are alive can have inalienable rights. Nothing matters if one is not alive, and it is foolish to talk about our ‘liberties’ when we believe we have the divine imperative to determine who lives and who dies. It is extreme arrogance on our part that we believe we have the right to take another’s life on arbitrary guidelines, and then have the Gall to ask the Living God to bless us.
I’m not sure how many more Independence days we have left, but at the rate things are escalating, it doesn’t seem like many. Sin has a season, which means it is time limited, and the Churches should be teaching and preaching this message. Since they will not, it is up to the laity once again, to get the message out. So, America, if we forget what made us great, and forget that God has cultivated one of the greatest nations to ever exist on this planet, then we deserve whatever repercussions of our open rebellion against the Living God are required. God Help Us.

ARE WE BEING TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT THE OIL SPILL?
George Offerman
We are at day 73 and there are discussions pertaining to ‘blowing up’ the well, with the possible use of a small nuclear weapon. It was also revealed that Russia actually had done this in the past, and has the equivalent of two Exxon Valdez amounts of oil leaching into their river systems as a result. And for the first time in modern history, the Abiotic process of oil creation, that states it is actually a non organic process that takes place in the core of the earth, and not the remains of dinosaurs, is beginning to get traction. We are also witnessing a crime in progress concerning the toxicity of this goo that is seeping up, and our government, with the complicit help of BP is covering it up.
The Abiotic theory basically states that oil is a byproduct of processes deep in the mantle and core of the earth, and seeps to the surface through the centrifugal force of the earth’s rotation. The oil then pools in places and the pressure builds until it eventually comes to the surface. In this theoretical framework, there are also underground rivers of this stuff, and it appears the Deepwater Horizon well tapped into one of these. If this is true, then it would seem that the resolution of this leak will take significantly longer than proposed, and some of the worst case scenarios being proposed have a good chance of coming true.
The abiotic theory also postulates that byproducts of this process are very toxic gasses and compounds, and once released into the waters and atmosphere, are deadly for a significant amount of time (some well past the average human life span). There are significant amounts of deadly chemicals and compounds being released, and from what I could read, the chemical that seems to have the most worried is Benzene. It seems the government and BP are not taking Benzene readings, hence they have built in ‘plausible deniability’ if it is determined in the near future that people are getting sick and dying.
There have been many observations, and I myself saw this on the news, that those on the clean up crews are wearing the bottom half of bio hazard protections suits, but are not using masks and goggles or other protective gear that the government would mandate someone wear if they entered a ketchup factory. Many of these people have already complained of headaches, nausea, dizziness and other symptoms comparable to exposure to many of these deadly compounds. There are even those who live in the surrounding areas that are having the same complaints. This is potentially one of the greatest man made catastrophes on the planet, and the useless eaters in the government and at BP are pretending it is not occurring.
All of this happening does not even take into account what would happen if these geniuses actually detonate a nuclear weapon to stop the leak. There are those in the conspiracy theory camps that have a tendency to over exaggerate everything, but this is one time I actually have to agree with them and fear they may be correct on this one. The dark powers often have rolled the dice and seemingly have gotten away with many crimes, but it very well may be their luck is running out. We can only hope, and pray that loss of life is minimal and that we begin to operate in the way the Living God wants us to. (A recent Drudge article alluded to the fact that all of the clean up workers from the Valdez incident are dead)
The culture of death is very open for all to see. The Government, along with BP finds it more important to not give these people proper protection, and to make it look like it is not as serious as it is. Their blatant disregard for life ought to bring even the mildest person’s blood to a boil. Both of these entities will have the blood of these people on their hands, and it is high time they are held accountable for that. Our way of life is being destroyed right in front of us, and yet there are still many, including Christians, that do not want to get involved and join in the fight. Our time is very limited (and I have been saying this way before this oil spill took place) and action needs to happen NOW!

LET'S WATCH THE REPUBLICANS CAVE
George Offerman
Now that the Kagan hearings have concluded, and the supposed ‘tough guy’ republicans asked their ‘tough questions’, Kagan will most likely become the next Associate Justice on the Supreme Court. It would seem that the Republicans are going to do their typical dog and pony act and lament how they couldn’t really do anything about it, but at least ‘fought’ for the cause. So, is it this type of leadership that we want representing our interests?
The GOP has done very little for the cause of life, and they are doing just enough now to fill their coffers for re election. Many of the GOP senators asked or requested of Kagan to read things such as the Federalist papers, and consider technological advances in viability of keeping Fetuses alive outside of the womb. (Aren’t these the same people who gave Wall Street a blank check, and asked them to police themselves?). I’m sure Ms. Kagan raced home after the hearings, and curled up next to her electronic fireplace, to read the founding fathers documents, and then surfed the web to research the advances in technology to keep babies alive.
The lip service these Senators gave over the past few days shows how little they actually regard life. All I keep hearing from the pro life side is we need to keep re electing them because the alternative is worse. Worse than what? If at the end of the day, babies are being unmercifully slaughtered, then what difference does it make who is in office? If one really believes it is life that is in the womb, then one ought to be fighting the same way as if a teenager was facing a firing squad, or gang of thugs. I don’t think anyone would write a letter to a committee, or do an ‘impact’ study if death was imminent for a post born being.
The only one who has shown any commitment to life consistently, and has been willing to stand alone is Rep. Ron Paul, and he is really a Libertarian in Republican clothing. It is insulting for this party to have the gall to sell themselves as pro life, and to represent themselves (in some cases) as having ‘divine imperative’ on their side. This claim is very close to blasphemy, and frankly, I am very tired of this party being represented by too many Christians as the ‘party of God”. Anybody can talk big, but I want to know when we are going to see real action from these people.
The November elections are slightly over 4 months away, and it is not looking very promising. So, if the GOP does manage to take back one of the Chambers of Congress, we then have a slower death than if they don’t. Frankly, if the country needs to die, and is going to anyway, I’m more of a fan in just getting it over with. Why do we even pretend to have freedom any more, and support a party that in the end is going to sell us out anyway?
The time is so short to do anything of substance, and the strategy prescribed by the GOP is that God awful incrementalism. We need to be moving at the speed of sound, and they are talking about a snail’s pace. Those in the GOP don’t seem to be aware of the significance of the times we are in, and what it may take to avoid what is now appearing to be a certainty. As I have advocated fro quite some time, it is time for us as individuals to take care of ourselves and our needs, and not put any faith into these people who are bought and paid for by forces way bigger than most of us will understand. Faith in the right places and beings will pay huge dividends, but the right place and beings are not located in Washington, D.C.

HERMENEUTICS 101: WHAT IS HERMENEUTICS?
George Offerman
Using proper hermeneutics when reading the Bible is as necessary as following a recipe of your favorite dish. Change one ingredient, and you have a whole different food and experience. Proper hermeneutics is a relatively straight forward process, and this process has been passed down for millennia and has been used for all of that time. This is a large undertaking, so let’s get started.
The Bible has 73 books (Catholic version) approximately 40 authors and was written over a time span of about 1600 years. The vast majority of Catholic theologians and many Protestant theologians state the Bible is the inspired word of God, which is reflected in the fact that the time span reflects differing philosophical and societal changes, which in turn reflect the writer’s personal influences as well. That being said, the Bible is the most consistent and intact Book on the planet concerning the Nature of God and the story of creation and our existence, as well as the most accurately written record of prophecy, and the fulfillment of that prophecy.
Because there are cultural and philosophical influences in the writings, it became imperative to come up with a way to read and interpret, as well as teach what the Bible says. This in turn, gives us an understanding of what God wants, how we are to behave, how we are to treat our fellow man, and ultimately what becomes of us after death. This in essence, is what hermeneutics is all about.
The proper definition of hermeneutics is the study of interpretation of written texts in the areas of literature, religion, law and prophecy. It also incorporates the times, history, context and language used, with emphasis on symbolic meanings. Hermeneutics looks for consistencies in texts, and applies these consistencies into contemporary life in order to guide and direct those who seek to know the truth. The central tenets of the Bible transcend time and society, and thus, are applicable to all peoples at all times.
Hermeneutics has evolved over the centuries, and the further removed from the Biblical times, the more the interpretations have changed and been influenced by our times. The main framework however is intact and the art of interpreting the Bible can be broken down into these four structures: literal, allegorical, moral, and eschatological/mystical. Literal interpretation would read the texts as straight forward as written. Allegorical interpretation would read the text as having symbolic meanings, as poetry, or as relating to secondary symbols, with the symbols being defined in other texts. Moral interpretation would read the text as teaching the faith, such as dogma, and are reflected in most of Jesus parables. Eschatological/mystical interpretations go into the ‘deep thoughts of God’ and involve the future and end of time, as well as salvation, condemnation, heaven and hell and the spiritual realm. (This is also the most dangerous of the four interpretation methods, as it has been the genesis of many of the heresies that will be covered in future postings)
Where many expositors get into trouble is when they use one of the interpretive methods on passages where it does not apply. For instance, the Beast rising out of the sea in Revelation is not a literal seven headed, ten horned monster, but is an allegorical description of a one world religiously lead government. Likewise, many of Jesus parables, that are clearly in the moral interpretation category, have been misinterpreted as literal, and end up causing problems among believers. A modern example of this point would be our colloquialism of “I feel Blue”. Anyone would understand that I am not literally the color blue, but the use of the word blue would be seen as symbolic of a mood that most everyone could relate to. Those who would take it literally would ultimately end up on a wild goose chase, and look very foolish.
The art of reading and interpreting the Bible needs to be understood in light of what passages and contexts are being addressed. When one knows which of the four interpretive methods to be used, the Bible reads fairly straight forward and clear. When this does not occur, it brings about confusion. We had a phrase in seminary for this called ‘fractured scripture”, and the funniest example I ever saw, was in a girls’ dorm room in which they printed up on a banner “Now, I will make you fishers of men”. On a more somber note, another example of fractured scripture is from the heretical “Gospel of prosperity” which misquotes 2 John 1-2 in wishing “for you to prosper as your soul prospers”. This is a personal greeting, standard for those times, and (intentionally) misinterpreted to be a theological reality and promise of prosperity to some believers. That would be analogous to taking the command from God to Moses to “strike the rock with your staff” and produce water, which was time specific and meant only for Moses. (I don’t see anyone striking rocks now a days believing water will flow from it.)
I will end this discussion today by going over one of the responses I received from the oil spill posting. This individual accused me of misinterpreting the oil spill, and insisted the burning platform did fulfill the burning mountain being cast into the ocean, that a third of the sea creatures will eventually die form the contaminated water, that also has a red hue which fulfills blood, and eventually, one third of the ships will be destroyed, by being dry docked or out of commission due to ocean conditions.
I will give this person the benefit of the doubt (despite the fact the first trumpet did not take place, and that it was not a cosmic event). John the evangelist had a vision and was told to write it down as he saw it. John saw a burning mountain being cast into the sea, the sea turned to blood, one third of the sea creatures died and one third of the ships were sunk. In order for this individual’s interpretation to be correct, there would be an interchange of both literal and allegorical interpretations going on at the same time. For instance, the burning platform being the mountain would be seen as a literal interpretation, but the platform sank, and was not cast down. The sea has many colors from the spill, one of which is red, but the dominant color is black. So the word ‘blood’ would have to be allegorical, as it would be symbolic and not literal. As of this time, there are not the massive deaths of sea creatures, and not one ship has sunk or has been destroyed. If one decides the sinking of the platform fulfills the word ‘cast down’, then the problem is what does one do with ships being sunk? Both the platform and ships float, and John would not have used different words to describe the same events. Casting down is different than sinking, and we have the literal interpretation method being used for the first part of the prophecy, and then switching to allegorical, back to literal with the sea creatures, then back to allegorical for the ‘destruction’ of the ships.
An asteroid fulfills the prophecy in totality. It is cast into the ocean from the heavens, burning as it enters the atmosphere, vaporizes trillions of gallons of water instantly, sending a massive tsunami in all directions that washes out coastal areas, killing most of the sea creatures in the ocean it hits, and sinking all the ships in the vicinity. The water would turn red from the blood of the dead sea creatures, as well as possible red algae plumes due to de oxygenated waters. This interpretation is using the literal method, due to the fact that there is neither allegorical language used, no moral teachings involved in this verse, or eschatological principles. It describes a deliberate event sent from God, and therefore, qualifies as a literal event in its totality and should be read as such.
I hope this was not too long, and hope this made sense. See you next week for the next addition.
Using proper hermeneutics when reading the Bible is as necessary as following a recipe of your favorite dish. Change one ingredient, and you have a whole different food and experience. Proper hermeneutics is a relatively straight forward process, and this process has been passed down for millennia and has been used for all of that time. This is a large undertaking, so let’s get started.
The Bible has 73 books (Catholic version) approximately 40 authors and was written over a time span of about 1600 years. The vast majority of Catholic theologians and many Protestant theologians state the Bible is the inspired word of God, which is reflected in the fact that the time span reflects differing philosophical and societal changes, which in turn reflect the writer’s personal influences as well. That being said, the Bible is the most consistent and intact Book on the planet concerning the Nature of God and the story of creation and our existence, as well as the most accurately written record of prophecy, and the fulfillment of that prophecy.
Because there are cultural and philosophical influences in the writings, it became imperative to come up with a way to read and interpret, as well as teach what the Bible says. This in turn, gives us an understanding of what God wants, how we are to behave, how we are to treat our fellow man, and ultimately what becomes of us after death. This in essence, is what hermeneutics is all about.
The proper definition of hermeneutics is the study of interpretation of written texts in the areas of literature, religion, law and prophecy. It also incorporates the times, history, context and language used, with emphasis on symbolic meanings. Hermeneutics looks for consistencies in texts, and applies these consistencies into contemporary life in order to guide and direct those who seek to know the truth. The central tenets of the Bible transcend time and society, and thus, are applicable to all peoples at all times.
Hermeneutics has evolved over the centuries, and the further removed from the Biblical times, the more the interpretations have changed and been influenced by our times. The main framework however is intact and the art of interpreting the Bible can be broken down into these four structures: literal, allegorical, moral, and eschatological/mystical. Literal interpretation would read the texts as straight forward as written. Allegorical interpretation would read the text as having symbolic meanings, as poetry, or as relating to secondary symbols, with the symbols being defined in other texts. Moral interpretation would read the text as teaching the faith, such as dogma, and are reflected in most of Jesus parables. Eschatological/mystical interpretations go into the ‘deep thoughts of God’ and involve the future and end of time, as well as salvation, condemnation, heaven and hell and the spiritual realm. (This is also the most dangerous of the four interpretation methods, as it has been the genesis of many of the heresies that will be covered in future postings)
Where many expositors get into trouble is when they use one of the interpretive methods on passages where it does not apply. For instance, the Beast rising out of the sea in Revelation is not a literal seven headed, ten horned monster, but is an allegorical description of a one world religiously lead government. Likewise, many of Jesus parables, that are clearly in the moral interpretation category, have been misinterpreted as literal, and end up causing problems among believers. A modern example of this point would be our colloquialism of “I feel Blue”. Anyone would understand that I am not literally the color blue, but the use of the word blue would be seen as symbolic of a mood that most everyone could relate to. Those who would take it literally would ultimately end up on a wild goose chase, and look very foolish.
The art of reading and interpreting the Bible needs to be understood in light of what passages and contexts are being addressed. When one knows which of the four interpretive methods to be used, the Bible reads fairly straight forward and clear. When this does not occur, it brings about confusion. We had a phrase in seminary for this called ‘fractured scripture”, and the funniest example I ever saw, was in a girls’ dorm room in which they printed up on a banner “Now, I will make you fishers of men”. On a more somber note, another example of fractured scripture is from the heretical “Gospel of prosperity” which misquotes 2 John 1-2 in wishing “for you to prosper as your soul prospers”. This is a personal greeting, standard for those times, and (intentionally) misinterpreted to be a theological reality and promise of prosperity to some believers. That would be analogous to taking the command from God to Moses to “strike the rock with your staff” and produce water, which was time specific and meant only for Moses.

GET READY FOR A RIDE
George Offerman
The Kagan hearings goes into day two, and we will see how much talk the Republicans really are, and whether in the end, they will do what they are most famous for: selling us down the river. I applaud some of the pro life groups who actually are showing up in the Capitol, and for those who took the time to call or e-mail their Senators to oppose this nomination. We definitely will have to see what happens, but it is not looking very promising.
Now, switching subjects, it seems the more we learn about this oil spill, the more we are seeing the dark powers influence over matters such as this. It is so interesting that many want to place this event into one of the trumpets, when it clearly does not meet really any of the qualifications for them. These same people then scoff at the blatantly obvious dark powers in their nearly open movements, such as the recently concluded Bilderberg meeting. I do not understand how many cannot see what appears to be so obvious, and then want to force events that do not qualify for fulfillment of prophecy in the news into prophecy. (Hint: real prophets would be telling the newspapers what will happen next, not the other way around).
Even though the dark powers control nearly all aspects of our lives, they do not and really cannot know all things as many give them credit for. The tea party appears to have caught them off guard, and one can see by the fact that from Obama on down in government, as well as the MSM consistently trashes this group, and every tea party candidate is being unmercifully attacked and smeared. For no other reason, the dark powers are led by their angel king, who happens to be a created being, and thus, does not have the same attributes as God, and is not omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. God, through one inspired person willing to act, can trash the best laid plans of the enemy, but the key word in this phrase is act.
The dark powers are opportunists when it comes to natural disasters, and yes, they do plan and carry out ‘man made’ disasters when they need to advance their agenda and goals. The dark powers are an impatient group, and want their one world government NOW. But they can only move as quickly as the masses allow, and they are greatly outnumbered and would be summarily executed if discovered. So, if we know what they are doing, and do nothing about it, God through our free will and choices, will allow them their time. Satan cannot force his will upon us, but needs our permission to do it. God is still in control, and only through his allowing this to happen, will it actually occur. When we do nothing, we give permission for evil to occur.
Too many Christians want to sit on the sidelines and do nothing. Granted, they may pray, which is good, but it is from the safety of their kitchens or living rooms, or churches that it is done. The field of battle is in the world, and it is in the hostile places that one needs to be present and witnessing to. When the Christian is unwilling to engage the enemy in the battle field that is when evil advances. This is not the will of God, as some would like to believe, but the permission of God, because it is the consequence of inaction, and fulfills His law of sowing and reaping. When evil takes over the battlefield, bad things happen, period.
At this time in history, the dark powers are winning because they are on the offensive and bold in their moves. The churches, the supposed keepers of the truth, are in a defensive posture at best, and derelict in duty at the worst. In fact, it seems that Satan has infiltrated the Church so deeply that he only needs to send one of his followers to ‘complain’ about being offended, and the shepherds are ‘falling over themselves’ to apologize and change teachings and traditions that ultimately harm the masses and instead present a false Gospel and message. Confusion reigns in an organization that is meant to be the light to the world. Satan is laughing at us.
When God finally breaks into history, it will be in such a grand fashion that no one will be confused and there will be no possibility of misinterpretation. The dark powers, lead by their angel king will be prepared, and the church, with most of the lukewarm believers will be caught in the middle, and will be very surprised and very unprepared. Our job, in the meantime is to get the message out, and whether one wants to respond to it will be up to them, but we know at least we sounded the warning.

HOW TO DEFEAT THE MONEY POWERS
George Offerman
When discussing the ever pervasive and ubiquitous aspects and reach of the money powers, most folks basically take the position that there is nothing they can do about it, and their existence and influence is simply a ‘done deal’. Or those on the other extreme deny their existence, and relegate anyone discussing them as whack jobs and conspiracy nuts. Well, they are very real, and they also have very real plans for the majority of us, and these plans are not in our best interests, and we have a very limited time to do something about it. Before I get into how to defeat the money powers, it is necessary to go over what they are doing, and what is their end game.
For the money powers, it is not about money anymore, because they virtually have all of it or at least all they need. The money powers are hungry for domination of all peoples in all areas. They want a one world government, and this is apparent to anyone who puts in any effort to study them and their movements. They believe the world is over populated, and that the earth’s resources are scarce. They truly believe they have a divine right to be the masters of the earth, and totally buy into the false “Gospel of prosperity’ that is being pedaled. The worst of it is, they believe the masses are here to serve them, and we are allowed to live for their pleasure. When we ‘useless eaters’ become of no more use, they will find ways of getting rid of us.
The money powers control nearly everything in our daily lives, and it is the few areas we have control over still that will enable us to defeat them if we get the numbers willing to act. If you notice, every tool and economic interaction you make is traceable, either through credit card, bank and checking accounts, and even the ‘money in your pocket. They all have numbers, and as such, can be traced, or even in the worst case scenario, can be frozen. This of course, would be a death knell for anyone unable to access any of their resources. The money powers last vestage of the money system would be a ‘cashless’ society, in which they would have total control over every aspect of commerce, and as such, totally ‘own’ everyone.
The money powers control nearly all of the media, and this is why all the MSM say the same thing, and show all of the same news stories, and also bury the same information that would contradict their agenda. They have total control over the political system, and every PRESIDENT since Wilson, has met and been approved by such organizations as the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) Trilateral Commission and others, as well as many coming from Skull and Bones and other organizations, and eventually tie into such secret organizations as the Club of Rome, the Rosicrucians, Freemasonry (at the higher degrees) and ending at the ultimate secret society, the Pilgrims society, based in New York and controlled from London.
The money powers control the Churches through the tax exempt status, as well as through infiltration via contemporary theology, philosophical and ‘scientific methodology” that waters down traditional theology, and in essence, changes the nature of the Christian message. It places man, and not God at the top of the hierarchy, and implies there are levels of knowledge (Gnosticism) that are hidden from the masses, and kept alive by the few elites for safeguarding against the ‘profane’ masses. There are those that have claimed it is devil worship, as there are many symbols openly used in society, but are not necessarily recognized by the common man.
The money powers despise three things that currently are not under their total control. These are: 1) informed and educated masses 2) a well armed populace, and 3) God’s money, gold and silver as exchange in commerce. One, if reading the news, should be aware of the government attempting to give Obama the ‘kill switch’ to the internet in case of ‘national emergency’, which in effect would kill all communication and stop any point of resistance. Obama is also attempting to push through significant gun control laws, requiring the registration of all firearms, and wanting a system of permits and ‘firearm trainings’ in order for citizens to continue having the ‘privilege’ of owning a gun. And the race is on in mass purchasing of most gold and silver by the central banks, and subsequent scam at the COMEX of price suppression.
So, how do we defeat the incompetent inbred idiots known as the money powers? In three simple words: CRASH THE COMEX. The internet and the gun issue is not a viable option that we can directly change, but emptying the COMEX vaults is something very viable, and would result in a price explosion in the metals that would put an end to the paper money system, thus damaging the money powers greatest asset, their printing presses. We all have the ability to purchase precious metals, and with the money powers rigging the prices to keep them low, we are still able to obtain them in much larger quantities. Buying precious metals is the easiest of the ways to get revenge on these thugs, as well as administering the most direct blow to their organization. Until the ‘powers that be’ make it illegal to own precious metals, we should be buying as much as we can carry away and hastening the day of reckoning for these evil people.
For those of you who may think this is rather sensationalist, I am providing a link to an essay from one of my heroes, Ted Butler, who is one of the most ‘anti sensationalists’ authors I have ever read. The second link is from a source that has been very accurate in his predictions on many economic fronts, and discusses the price of both gold and silver in the future. I am also linking to a story about the oil leak and potential conspiracy (for your discernment).
