One year ago this week, I began working on what started out to be just a single blog called, 72 and a Red Moon Rising. That single blog led to a full year of intensive research and writing, which eventually grew so voluminous that it morphed into a series of four books (each currently in various stages of completion). This is the first one in that series, and I think it is appropriate that I am writing this final chapter now because a lot has happened in this past year and indeed even this past week.

Undoubtedly, some of what I am going to write about in this chapter blog may offend you. Please understand that it is not my intent to offend or condemn anyone. My desire is simply to share information that I have learned and believe will be vital to our understanding and possibly our survival in these Last Days. As the old saying goes, "Truth hurts." Indeed, sometimes it does and we don't always want to hear it. In fact, at first, I myself did not want to hear it and found it offensive the first time I did. Often when a paradigm shift in belief patterns happens there is a grieving process. Part of that process can involve anger, depression and even anxiety, until finally we reach acceptance of what is. I have reached acceptance and now I desire to pass what I have learned on to you. Understandably, your first reaction may be to become angry at me for doing so. But I believe when God reveals truth to us, we are to share it. In fact, I would go so far as to say it is our responsibility to do so. For if we do not, who will? Please do not shoot the messenger, because I am going to conclude this book with a call to...

Come Out of Babylon!


I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of Babylon, my people, so that you do not participate in her sins and suffer from any of her plagues."

- Revelation 18:4 (GOD'S WORD Translation)

The word Babylon comes up 265 times in a keyword search of the King James Bible or 273 times in the New American Standard Bible. Even just a cursory glance over the various references reveals that Babylon is not a good place to be in. It is associated with captivity and evil. It is the place that was first founded by Nimrod. There he built a tower with the goal of "reaching" into Heaven. After crossing over from this world into the Heavenly realm, his plan was to make war with the angels, overtake the Throne Room, kill God and set up false gods to take His place.[1] And at least in theory, according to the text - apart from killing God - it would appear that at least some of that may actually have been possible.

And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

- Genesis 11:6 (KJV) [emphasis mine]

Babylon was situated on the Euphrates, the original foundation of which is described under the word Babel. Many ancient traditions, credit Nimrod as the builder of both the Tower of Babel and the city. Some say that it was his mother/sister/wife[2] Semiramis who was the founder of the city. Others attribute the fame and splendor of it to Nebuchadnezzar. These accounts may all be reconciled, by considering that Nimrod may have founded it. Semiramis possibly rebuilt it after the incident at the Tower of Babel, and then much later Nebuchadnezzar greatly enlarged and adorned it.

Babylon was the Greek name of the city written in the cuneiform script of the Babylonians, bab-ili, which means in Semitic, "the gate of god." The Hebrews called the country, as well as the city, Babhel. This name they considered came from the' root, balal, "to confound" (Genesis 11:9).

- International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

Thus, Babylon is both "the gate of god" and the place of "confounding." And so it has been throughout the Scriptures. But Babylon is not so much the "gate of YHVH" as it is rather the "gate(way) of the gods" - the place from which all pagan gods originated in ancient Mesopotamia/Sumeria. I will talk more about that in greater detail in Mythology and the Coming Great Deception (book 3 of this Babylon Rising series).

God has used Babylon largely as his place of judgment for the Hebrew nation. When they refused to honor God the way He told them He is to be honored, obeyed and worshiped, He gave them over to the gods they chose over Him. And so it was that they went into exile and captivity.

Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and all that your fathers have laid up in store to this day will be carried to Babylon; nothing shall be left,’ says the LORD.

- 2 Kings 20:17 (NASB)


But because our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, He gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this temple and deported the people to Babylon.

- Ezra 5:12 (NASB)

The Jews spent 70 years there in captivity.[3] Then, finally they came out of Babylon. I believe it is time for us to do the same. Why? Because, unfortunately the Jews carried Babylon with them when they left. They brought back many pagan customs, beliefs and practices from their time there, just as they did when they left Egypt. Those things, customs, ideas and practices became intermingled with the true faith of YHVH and it always got them into trouble. Those traditions brought forth from Babylon were the primary cause of many of the issues that Yeshua had to deal with when confronting the Pharisees and Sadducees of His day. Now, the Church of Yeshua has basically gone done the same thing. Many of the traditions and practices of the Christian Church today are rooted in pagan Babylon.[4]

On top of that, as you will soon see, so too has our own country been founded on things that originated not with the God of the Bible, but rather with the gods that came from Babylon. My goal with this final chapter is to show you some of the things I believe we need to take a serious look at within or government, within our churches and ultimately within ourselves.

It's time we come out of Babylon!

Let's start with a discussion about our country, its government and some current events. Most of you were probably taught that America was founded as a Christian Nation. I know I was. People like David Barton travel around the country trying to convince us that our Founding Fathers were Christians and/or upheld strong Christian values. But what he shows in his Wall Builders' presentation is only partially true. There is a much darker side to our nation's founders and heritage that he does not show. Since most of you have probably already seen and read the sorts of things that he promotes concerning our Founding Fathers, I won't go over that here. But for a more balanced view, I would encourage you to watch Chris Pinto's documentary, The Hidden Faith of the Founding Fathers:

 

(The last 57 minutes of this documentary is a commentary on David Barton and his message)

I believe America will have much to answer for in these Last Days. Our leaders have had Luciferian agendas planned from day one of her founding. And we as a people may be held accountable for supporting our nation's leaders with our campaign contributions, time and endorsing votes. We both allow and perpetuate our own slavery by continuing to play along with their game. Thus, we are enslaved because we want to be!

What am I talking about? I'm talking about the whole facade of supposedly electing presidents who are "of the people, by the people, for the people." That simply is not true. If it were, let me ask you (once again) what are the statistical odds that 43 out of 44 of our Presidents would all be related to each other - many of them tracing directly back to the same man (King John Lackland of the House of Plantagenet)?[5]

This seems to me more like we have presidents who are "of the Illuminati, by the Masons, for the Elite" and our votes are meaningless exercises in futility that only keep us all stuck in the matrix we allowed ourselves to become enslaved by through our own ignorance in continuing to play their game. I am not saying that to be insulting. I'm saying that as someone who was once just as ignorant of these facts as nearly everyone else in this country. Thus, I wonder if the following warning could not also apply to us:

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. - Hosea 4:6 (NASB) [emphasis mine]

A lot of this is new to me and came as a result of all the intense research I've been doing for this book series over the past year. Prior to that, I was quite politically active. But the last few elections caused me to start questioning a lot of things concerning our so-called election system.

I used to go to Tea Party rallies and was a huge supporter of Ron Paul. He spoke my language and said a lot of things I believe in. But after what happened to him last time around (like the media completely pushing him out in spite of a very large support base), I began to realize that we live in a two party dictatorship, that always boils our "choices" down to only two individuals that appear to be hand-picked by "someone" other than the American people. Take the last election for instance. On the one hand, you have Ron Paul, a well established, long time Congressman with an easily verifiable track-record of active politcs since 1976. And no one in the mainstream media paid any attention to him.

On the other hand, you have Obama - a guy who literally came out of nowhere, posing as the Democrat's Messiah! No one even knew who he was less than a decade ago and all of a sudden he swoops in and takes the stage? And I won't even go into the real issues concerning his birth certificate!

The last few elections left me very cynical and quite jaded about the whole system. I began to search for answers. And the conclusion I came to was that, in spite of what the mainstream press would have us believe, Democrats and Republicans are really playing for the same team, just with different logos on their shirts. Either one will get the job done for the Elite that placed them in front of us as a candidate. What team are they playing for? Well look at the stars in these unaltered pictures and you tell me:

Ron Paul knows that running on a Libertarian or any other third party ticket is never going to work. So, he opts for the Republican side of the fence. But if he is as legit as his supporters hope he is, he will never have a chance. First of all, he claims to want to do away with the IRS and advocates auditing and/or getting out from under the Federal Reserve. He talks a big talk about getting us out of our national debt by stopping the use of fiat money and becoming more fiscally responsible. On top of all that, he wants us to stop fighting wars all over the planet. He just makes way too much sense! If he weren't toting the company line concerning 9/11, I'd be tempted to think he truly was "the one prophesied to bring balance to the Force!"

But that kind of talk simply will never fly with those who are printing the money and pulling all of the strings in our government and the military industrial complex. You know, that group of fantastically wealthy, psychopathic "Sith lords" who got off on financing the bullets, bombs and bandages for both sides of every war for the last 200+ years? Yeah, those guys.

But let's play the other side of the coin. If by some astronomically improbable chance Ron Paul did get elected in the inconceivable off-chance that our votes actually are counted in a foolproof system where dead people and dogs can't check a box or punch a card and hanging chads won't be an issue, he'd likely end up finding himself lying beside Lincoln and Kennedy when the Emperor executes "Order 66."[6]

No matter how you look at it, Ron Paul doesn't have a chance... unless he is "part of the family." And in that case, he certainly won't be our savior. He'll be doing the bidding of the same people who pulled every other president's strings. Nothing will change. And all we will be doing is wasting our time and money trying to solve a spiritual problem with a political solution. It will never work. Thus, I believe our time and money is far better spent working on the spiritual problem. By that I am referring to the "principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in high places" that seem to be all too welcome in our nation's capitol.

"Left wing, right wing, it's all apart of the same corrupt eagle." - Bo Fowlkes

During the week of Thanksgiving, my wife and I went to visit my family in New England. As part of the trip, we went from Massachusetts down to Virginia to visit my sister and brother-in-law. Since we were pretty close to Washington DC, we decided to take a little trip and do some on-the-ground research there. Unfortunately, we only had about five hours, so we had to be very selective in choosing where we would go. As we walked out of the train station, I looked up and saw a bunch of statues lining the rooftop of the building. This was the first one on the left:

While it appears that the last line is a quote from Scripture, look at the context. That's ZEUS standing there with his fire and lightning bolts! The entire roof was lined with pagan gods and similar quotes. This was the first thing I noticed... with eyes that see.

We walked from there to the Capitol Building. When we entered through the visitor center doors, we were greeted by the original sculpture that was the basis for the bronze Statue of Freedom (aka Columbia/Liberty/Isis/Ishtar/Semiramis... the Queen of Heaven) which is perched on top of the Capitol dome.

We signed up for the standard tour and the first thing we did was watch the video documentary on how and when the Capitol was built. It started out by calling it the "Temple of Liberty." Ummm... last time I checked, temples are for gods. Are they telling us right up front that this building is a temple? Well, the first thing we saw upon entering is the Queen of Heaven. Hmmmmm. Keep in mind that DC stands for "District of Columbia," which essentially means our capital is the domain of Isis/Ishtar/Semiramis - the mother, half-sister and wife of Nimrod! She was the driving force behind deifying Nimrod and establishing the mystery religions of the world and the corruption of the true faith of YHVH as well. After having incest with her father (Cush), she produced a son (Nimrod) whom she later married and gave birth to Tammuz - thus forming the original un-holy trinity upon which both Christmas and Easter are really based! She truly is the "Whore of Babylon" spoken of in the Book of Revelation. And we named our capital city after her? Nice. Yeah, well hang on folks - it gets worse.

I had first read about the Apotheosis of George Washington in Tom Horn's book, Apollyon Rising 2012. And I had seen that painting in person a number of times before - when I was much younger and didn't know what I was looking at. But this time I would get to see it again - with eyes wide open!

Upon entering the rotunda, you see a bunch of statues of presidents and other folk all around the room. The floor level paintings are the ones people like David Barton want to show off depicting various patriotic and Christian? scenes. That's all nice and wonderful. But the further up you look, the more sinister it gets.

There is a ring around the base of the dome depicting a fresco of American history. Starting with Columbus and going all the way around, we see various scenes of American history. But if you pay attention, shortly after and to the right of the Columbus scene, you will see this image:

Why is this scene depicted as an integral part of American history? And the iconography is very interesting. Take the serpent wrapped around the pole with flames on top for instance. That image shows up quite a bit actually. More on that shortly.

I made mental note of that image, then my eyes continued to gaze upward past the ring of 72 pentagrams, and on into "the womb of Isis" as Tom Horn would say. Sure enough, there was George Washington seated as a god in Heaven! But if this was indeed a Christian nation, should we not expect to see Biblical figures surrounding George? Like oh I don't know... say, Jesus, Abraham, Moses, the Apostles, or angels like Gabriel and Michael maybe? No. That's not what we see. We see Neptune, Vulcan, Venus, Minerva and Mercury, the messenger of the gods - and our Founding Fathers seated at his feet taking notes!

Mercury-Toth-Hermes with his Caduceus and winged hat
 
apoth_marNeptune-Poseidon, king of Atlantis and his daughter Venus
apoth_mechVulcan, god of Fire and also esoterically the god of Alchemy

I asked the tour guide when that picture was painted and she said that it was finished in 1865. That date jumped out at me, so I asked, "Isn't that the year Abraham Lincoln was killed?"

She said, "Yes, in fact he was the first president to undergo the Lying in State ceremony in this room. And every other deceased president since Lincoln has had their coffin placed here in the center of the room for public viewing and mourning as well."

Apotheosis means, "ascension into godlikeness" or to "exalt one to a divine level" - in short, the word refers to a man becoming a god! This is a philosophy that originated with the promises of the Serpent in the Garden of Eden, continued in Babylon, was perfected in Egypt and lives on to this day... apparently in our own Capitol Building.

"For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

- Genesis 3:5 (NIV)

Through what amounts to an occult ceremony, we send our dead presidents through the portal of Isis' womb to join George in apotheosis.

If that sounds a little too far fetched, directly under the "dome room" is an area known as "The Crypt." That took me by surprise, so I asked, "The Crypt? Who's buried here?" The tour guide smiled and said, "No one. I guess they just liked the name." Yeah right.

As you can see, the room is laid out in a rather interesting fashion. My mind immediately began to envision what it would look like with the lights turned off and people standing in a circle dressed in robes, holding candles and chanting some Satanic ritual babble - the hypnotic sounds echoing off the stone floor, pillars and walls. I guess that's what happens when you have a very active imagination and you spend the better part of two years researching stuff like this. But what do you expect with a name like, The Crypt ?

The small room contains 40 Doric columns, which support the floor above. In the middle of the room, directly below the center of the Capitol Dome, on the floor is a rose cross compass. This is apparently the center of Washington, DC. Supposedly, from what I understand, below that is Washington's empty tomb (he's buried at Mount Vernon). One can't help but wonder - if this is true - that the "empty tomb" has other esoteric meaning.

The president after whom our capital city was named is very much treated and depicted as a god. In fact, at one time this sculpture was also meant to be in the Capitol Temple... oh! I mean Building:

This pose is virtually identical to that of Zeus in the Temple of Zeus, which was one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. This also just so happens to be the same pose as Baphomet, the goat-god of the occult. So, what are we to make of this? Christian nation? I think not.

We moved on from there to the room that used to be the original meeting place for the House of Representatives. Once again we were greeted by the Queen of Heaven extending her hand with a scroll in it. But check out the picture below and notice what is positioned on both sides of her. An eagle and a snake (two creatures that don't usually play well together).

Remember the snake around the column I mentioned earlier? Well this one is a feathered snake! The Aztecs predicted that their feathered snake god, Quetzacoatl (aka Kukulcan and Gukumatz) would return in 2012. Here we have a feathered snake in the original meeting place of the House of Representatives and in the other room we have that painting of the famous Mayan calendar that ends in 2012. What's going on here? I asked the tour guide what the snake represented. She said, "Wisdom."

Wasn't it the Serpent in the Garden who promised wisdom to Adam and Eve if they only disobeyed God? I find it interesting that both Thoth of the Egyptians and Hermes/Mercury of the Greeks/Romans were also known as the wise messenger of the gods, who practiced and taught writing, astrology, magic and alchemy. Thus, some think that Quetzacoatl, Thoth and Hermes are all one and the same. And we just saw Hermes hanging out next door in the Capitol Dome.

When you consider that the Biblical Greek word for "angel" is simply a messenger,[7] this all starts to come together and make sense. It's Lucifer: the "angel (messenger) of the gods" that we're talking about here! He is the chief of all false gods and he and his cronies are all over our Capitol Building!

And not far away, you have the massive phallic symbol of Osiris (the Washington Monument) sticking up like middle finger directed at the One True God of Heaven and Earth. And not far from that, we have the Temple of Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson's Pantheon - all of which stand within view of the All-Seeing-Eye of the 333ft tall Masonic Temple.

America, we need to wake up! We allow outright pagan worship to take place in the halls of government and streets of our capital city by both our ignorance and our silence. And I say that pointing my finger at you, with three more pointing back at me. But I don't believe we can afford to be ignorant and silent anymore.

Make no mistake, there is an evil agenda at work and America is leading the way in making it happen. What am I talking about? As I said in The First Shall Be The Last chapter blog, I now strongly believe that America's sole purpose has been to bring about the rise of Babylon and the return of the Anti-Christ! My trip to DC only reinforced that belief. Remember the Scripture I focused on toward the end of that chapter blog?

For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

- Matthew 24:28 (KJV)

The eagle has always been a symbol for world empires. It is of course the primary symbol here in the United States. It's all over our government buildings. It's on top of our flags. And it's on our military uniforms, top to bottom. Eagles are everywhere!

As our day trip was coming to an end, I was determined to find one more site. And almost by accident, we found it. I saw two pillars, each with a large metal eagle perched on top. Those two eagles stand high above a very peculiar statue known as The Awakening. This statue is of a giant, bearded god rising up out of the sand in the National Harbor.

"The Awakening?" Just who or what are we awakening?

It is my belief that we will be the driving force behind the resurrection of Nimrod. I also believe that was the primary reason we went to Iraq in the first place - one month after archeologists digging in her deserts sands claimed to have found the tomb of Gilgamesh - just four years after the secret chambers of Osiris'(empty) tomb were found in Egypt.

Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

- Matthew 24:25-28 (KJV) [emphasis mine]

In a recent interview on Omegaman Radio, Tom Horn and Steve Quayle talked about the discovery of that carcase. At about 1 hour and 27 minutes into the interview they begin talking about how Nimrod began to be a giant. They then started talking about the discovery of Gilgamesh's remains. Regarding confirmation of that, Steve said:

"I talked to a Special Operations general who validated that, verified that and absolutely was there when Gilgamesh's remains - and his words were, 'He was in a state of remarkable preservation.' OK? And by the way, that was in the literal vicinity of where the United States built its largest military complex, I believe it's one of the largest military complexes in the world. In that whole area. The advance team - Special Operations went in there to grab all of that stuff...

What I'm telling you is based on a multi-starred general's eye-witness report to me who was there. He said, 'They have Gilgamesh's remains.' So if they have Gilgamesh and he is Nimrod, they got it. And the whole point was to extract the DNA. And I've also been told that the whole point... of the human genome project... is to locate specific genetic markers for the disembodied spirits to reanimate their host body that's brought back."

I will write a lot more about the DNA issue in the next book, Babylon Rising: The Return of the Nephilim (book 2). Needless to say, I believe that is indeed the real reason we went and stayed in Iraq for the better part of the last decade. And the fact that our troops are now coming out of Babylon tells me that they have accomplished whatever it was they needed to do... which makes me wonder what (or who) else may be coming out of Babylon with them.

In any case, make no mistake, in the grander scheme of things - the big picture if you will - I am certain our work there is not yet done. So, let's go ahead and look now at the current withdrawal of our military presence there to see if we can determine what might happen next. On December 17, 2011 CNN ran an article stating:

"Last of U.S. Troops Leave Iraq"

In a final tactical road march, the last U.S. troops in Iraq crossed the border into Kuwait on Sunday morning, ending almost nine years of a deadly and divisive war.

They were the last soldiers in what amounted to the largest U.S. troop drawdown since the war in Vietnam.
- CNN.com

Back in September, as the draw down moved forward, the Huffington Post wrote an article telling us that the U.S. is leaving behind over 250 million dollars worth of equipment, vehicles and even entire military bases (505 to be exact)!

There were 505 U.S. military bases and outposts in Iraq at the height of operations, said Col. Barry Johnson, a spokesman for U.S. forces in Iraq. Only 39 are still in U.S. hands -- but that includes each of the largest bases, meaning the most significant handovers are yet to come.

Those bases didn't come cheap. Construction costs exceeded $2.4 billion, according to an analysis of Pentagon annual reports by the Congressional Research Service. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers alone was responsible for $1.9 billion in base construction contracts between 2004 and 2010, a spokesman told HuffPost.

Rather than strip those bases clean and ship everything home, Defense Department officials tell The Huffington Post that over 2.4 million pieces of equipment worth a total of at least $250 million -- everything from tanks and trucks to office furniture and latrines -- have been given away to the Iraqi government in the past year, with the pace of transfers expected to increase dramatically in the coming months.

- Huffington Post (via http://www.nsnetwork.org/node/2163) [emphasis mine]

So are they telling us that it is more expensive to ship our equipment home than it is to replace it? I think not. What that really tells me is we essentially armed both our former enemies as well as the coming forces of the Anti-Christ with all sorts of nice toys ready to go for when Nimrod settles back into his home town! And if Iraq decides to team up with the Arab League and/or Iran under the banner of Islam in the near future, Israel could be in a lot of trouble!

On the Republic of Iraq's Ministry of Foreign Affairs web site, we find:

  • We are reaching out to our neighbors and the Arab countries through participation in multilateral forums, including the Arab League, and by encouraging regional cooperation based on our historical cultural ties and geographical proximity. Iraq can be a positive factor for regional stability and a friendly, peaceful country that respects national interests and understands the security concerns of our neighbors, with whom we are in dialogue to resolve pending issues including prisoners of war, refugees, compensation claims and water and border issues.
  • Iraq remains committed to its Islamic identity and, as the home of some of Islam's holiest sites, we are establishing procedures for religious tourism and promoting cultural exchange.

    - Ministry of Foreign Affairs web site (http://www.mofa.gov.iq/eng/ForeignPolicy/default.aspx?sm=18)

All of that sounds very sweet, but I wonder how they can remain peaceful toward Israel and loyal to Islam at the same time. Seems like an oxymoron to me. Especially since Islam's stated objective through cleric after cleric and dictator after dictator has been to wipe Israel off the map. I also don't think for one minute that any of that would come as a shock or surprise to our current leaders in Washington, DC if such an attempt were made. In fact, I would go so far as to suggest that this was the plan all along.

An Iraqi journalist asks about U.S. military help for Iraq in the years ahead.

Al-Maliki says he spoke with Obama about "the need for weapons."

Obama says he seeks to help "a sovereign Iraq" protect its people and its borders; says military cooperation will be similar to that given to other nations.

Obama also notes that the U.S. Embassy in Iraq will be bigger than others, but only because the security demands are so different.

- USATODAY.com

[emphasis mine]

Indeed. We didn't do all that we did in Iraq for the last 9 years only to leave everything behind and hand over all control to the Iraqis. No. Our troops may be leaving, but the United States will always have a strong handle on whatever happens there.

"Our goal simply is to make sure Iraq succeeds," Obama says. - USATODAY.com

I'll bet it is! America's plan has always been to be sure Iraq (Babylon) succeeds! But how and why? In the following White House Press Conference, Obama introduced Prime Minister Maliki as "the elected leader of a sovereign, self-reliant and democratic Iraq."

Obama speaks about how the U.S. military mission in Iraq is ending, and the two nations are now turning the page to "a new chapter" in their relationship. He predicts a bright economic future for Iraq, with American assistance; he also offered the kind of security assistance that the U.S. provides to other allies.

"I pledged to end this war responsibly," Obama says. "After nearly nine years, our war in Iraq ends this month."

Now, Obama pledges "an equal partnership" and "a broad relationship" with the new Iraq.

- USATODAY.com

[emphasis mine]

This brings us back to a discussion about the Iraqi Dinar. How is it that Obama can predict a "bright economic future for Iraq" when they have a completely worthless currency?

Answer: they need to revalue (RV) that currency to something that has value and can be traded on the open market! Why? Because you can't have a "bright economic future" when all you have is pretty, monopoly money to play with!

But if you consider the chart to the right and see where the Dinar once was in value, the prospects of a revaluation are very exciting indeed!

At the above Press Conference, Obama went on to say:

Economically, Iraqis continue to invest in their infrastructure and development. And I think it's worth considering some remarkable statistics. In the coming years, it’s estimated that Iraq’s economy will grow even faster than China's or India's. With oil production rising, Iraq is on track to once again be one of the region’s leading oil producers.

With respect to security, Iraqi forces have been in the lead for the better part of three years -- patrolling the streets, dismantling militias, conducting counterterrorism operations. Today, despite continued attacks by those who seek to derail Iraq’s progress, violence remains at record lows.

And, Mr. Prime Minister, that’s a tribute to your leadership and to the skill and the sacrifices of Iraqi forces.

Across the region, Iraq is forging new ties of trade and commerce with its neighbors, and Iraq is assuming its rightful place among the community of nations. For the first time in two decades, Iraq is scheduled to host the next Arab League Summit, and what a powerful message that will send throughout the Arab world. People throughout the region will see a new Iraq that’s determining its own destiny -- a country in which people from different religious sects and ethnicities can resolve their differences peacefully through the democratic process.

Mr. Prime Minister, as we end this war, and as Iraq faces its future, the Iraqi people must know that you will not stand alone. You have a strong and enduring partner in The United States of America.

* * *

And finally, we’re partnering for regional security. For just as Iraq has pledged not to interfere in other nations, other nations must not interfere in Iraq. Iraq’s sovereignty must be respected.

- President Obama, December 12, 2011 Press Conference [emphasis mine]

In the last chapter blog, I wrote about what I think may be The Omega Plan. In it, I wrote about the various dealings the United States has had with Iraq and the founding of both its Central Bank as well as its new government. As noted in that blog, it was JP Morgan Chase Bank that led the 13 bank consortium that established the new Central Bank of Iraq (CBI). Given the fact that the same players who established our own central banking system and Federal Reserve are also involved in the formation of Iraq's tells me that our interests there will be well taken care of. Thus, I feel it is safe to say that the true Babylon will rise again, thanks to the help of psuedo-Babylon (the United States of America).

Make no mistake, the two are one... at least until America (as we know it) is no longer needed. At that point, we will be discarded. But I believe we still have some more time left before that happens. Perhaps that's why the writing on the Dinar is in both English and Arabic. Note how it is the English (America) backing the Arabic (Babylon) front of the note pictured right. This is their highest value note, but It is the same for their other denominations as well. Remember too that this worthless money also has the highest anti-counterfeit measures of any other currency (that I'm aware of anyway) incorporated into its design:

For now, we will just have to patiently wait and see what happens. I can't imagine it will be too much longer before something pops though. Too many things are lining up.

In the meantime of course, all of this looks great on Obama's resume. I mean, the guy starts out with a Nobel Peace Prize and ends with both the [supposed] capture and death of Osama bin Laden as well as the completion of military action in Iraq. To the typical, brainwashed American, this shows that Obama is the man who gets things done! Now just imagine what will happen when the Iraqi Dinar revalues and the entire world's economy magically resets! I can hear the chants in the streets just in time for the next election polls, "Our messiah does it again!" And perhaps that's the real reason for the RV's delay? Maybe "they" are just waiting for the perfect time before the next elections to spring the news? If so, don't believe the Obama camp's hype for a second! It's all an elaborate stage show! And one president after the other has done his part in this charade to make it happen.

Speaking of hype... When the news reports first came out that Osama bin Laden had been killed, I knew it was a scam! The reports were so filled with Illuminati memes it wasn't even funny. In fact, it was rather pathetic - that they could put so much in plain sight and so few even took notice. Now, I say that fully acknowledging that prior to doing all of this research for myself, I probably would have been duped as well. So, please don't be offended by what I am saying here. We have all been lied to!

I will go into a lot more detail about the various incarnations and representations of Nimrod that have appeared throughout ancient history in Babylon Rising (Book 3): Mythology and the Coming Great Deception (click here to begin reading what I have done so far). In the chapter blog titled, Nimrod, Niburu and the Anunnaki, I show how some scholars have connected Sargon (whose one-eyed bust is pictured left) with Nimrod.

At first glance, who does that image remind you of? Is that just a coincidence? One of the first photographs of Osama's death that was released on the net was quickly exposed as a fraud. But take a look at it:


The official story was that SEAL Team 6 on May 1st (which was both on the 66th anniversary of Hitler's [supposed] death and also the day the Illuminati was founded), at 3:30 in the afternoon (EST), shot Osama bin Laden through the left eye and then later dumped his body in the ocean. Thus, we have no proof for anything that was told to us!

Obama gave the final order to pursue the operation on April 29, officials said.

The house was 100 yards from the gate of the Kakul Military Academy, an army-run institution where top officers train. A Pakistan intelligence official said the property where bin Laden was staying was 3,000 square feet.

At 3:30 p.m. EST, a 40-man Navy Seals squadron raided a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, killing the Al Qaeda leader with a bullet to the head.

- FoxNews.com [emphasis mine]

"He did resist the assault force, and he was killed in a firefight," an official said. NBC News reported that he was shot in the left eye.

- Today News: MSNBC.msn.com [emphasis mine]

Right off the bat, the text I have in bold stands out. First off, April 29th, is a very interesting date in the occult (and a significant date for the conclusion of Obama's first 100 days in office as seen in the 72 and a Red Moon Rising chapter blog). Then you've got the 3,000 square foot property (remember the official death toll on 9/11?) and let's not forget the time, 3:30 EST (33 being a high occult number). Oh, and of course, the compound just had to be shaped like a pyramid too! Come on! Seriously? How much more in plain sight do they have to be with this stuff?

Not too long after that "victory," members of the same elite fighting force, SEAL Team 6 were all loaded onto a National Guard helicopter that was later shot down! Convenient. Since when do Special Forces soldiers all travel together? And worse, since when do they travel on any equipment not piloted by their own highly skilled, Special Forces personnel?

Insurgents shot down a U.S. military helicopter during fighting in eastern Afghanistan, killing 30 Americans, most of them belonging to the same elite unit as the Navy SEALs who killed former Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, U.S. officials said Saturday. It was the deadliest single loss for American forces in the decade-old war against the Taliban.

- FoxNews.com
[emphasis mine]

When I was a helicopter pilot in the Army, one of my good friends was an instructor pilot that I used to fly with often. He later moved to Texas and joined a National Guard unit - the same unit that flew the above mission. After this event happened, my friend told me that he knew the pilots of the Chinook helicopter that was shot down in Afghanistan. Now, I've flown with plenty of Guard pilots. Some are veterans from active duty service, others are newbies. So, I mean no disrespect to my brothers in the Guard when I say this, but what in the world is going on here!? Active duty Special Forces troops should not be traveling in National Guard helicopters - especially that many of them, all in one place in a hostile environment. That just doesn't (normally) happen!

It wasn't long before veterans started asking questions like this:

“Why were some of the most elite of America’s military, in such large numbers, tooling around on a National Guard aircraft? Also, those around me are wondering why such a large number (extremely unconventional for Seals, Green Berets, etc) of them riding in a single aircraft instead of being spread out into numerous aircraft.”

Without question, I mean no disrespect to the pilots and crew of the National Guard aircraft, but the fact is that it’s very “strange” that Seals would be conducting an actual mission, with such large numbers, in such a basic aircraft. …Especially, given the fact that there were special operation Chinooks easily available and sitting idle when this tragedy took place.”

- VeteransToday.com

The only thing that makes any sense to me is that those good men were sacrificed so that the truth would not get out. This would certainly also serve as a deterrent to keep quiet anyone else who might want to talk. And to be honest, this absolutely breaks my heart. Please pray for our service men and women. They are (for the most part) good, American citizens who have volunteered for service in order to do their duty for God, country, family and friends. They signed up to protect and serve you and me. They believe in what they are doing and do it to the best of their ability - no matter the personal cost. For those reasons and more, I say they deserve our respect, honor and much needed prayers.

That said, they are also victims of pure evil who are routinely used to create more victims around the world. Evil men take advantage of their patriotism, youth and zeal and send them straight into hell on earth scenarios. Thus, the soldier becomes nothing more than canon fodder for the sadistic plans of a small Elite. Today, soldiers are little more than pawns that our evil masters have no problem experimenting on, using and discarding in order to advance their Luciferian agendas. For these reasons and more, as much as I love this country, I would never recommend that any young person join the military! Things have gotten really bad, and I suspect it's only going to get worse.

TOTAL DEAD FROM WORLD WAR II

World War II was the deadliest military conflict in history. Over 60 million people were killed, which was over 2.5% of the world population.

* * *

World War II fatality statistics vary, estimates of total dead ranging from 50 million to over 70 million.[8] The sources cited in this article document an estimated death toll in World War II of 62 to 78 million, making it the deadliest war in world history in absolute terms of total dead but not in terms of deaths relative to the world population.

When scholarly sources differ on the number of deaths in a country, a range of war losses is given, in order to inform readers that the death toll is disputed. Civilians killed totaled from 40 to 52 million, including 13 to 20 million from war-related disease and famine. Total military dead: from 22 to 25 million, including deaths in captivity of about 5 million prisoners of war.

Just let those numbers sink in for a minute. War is big business! It costs us trillions of dollars, not to mention our limbs, lives, loved ones and sanity. But it costs "them" nothing. "They" profit from both sides of any conflict by supplying the bullets, bombs and bandages at a premium cost to you and I - the average tax paying sheeple of the world. Who are they? The Elite bankers. If you didn't already watch the following excellent documentary by Leonard Ulrich (from the last chapter blog), please watch it here:

As I have already shown you, our nation's capital is literally loaded with idolatry! Statues of the pagan gods are everywhere! For instance, do you want to know who greets you when you enter the Capitol Building? None other than the Roman god, Mars - who was the GOD OF WAR! And we wonder why our nation seems to have been at war in some form or another ever since its founding (which came as a result of the Revolutionary War).

Mars was said to have been the father of Romulus and Remus; the first of the two being credited with forming the early Roman Empire, with Rome being named after himself. That empire has never died. It lives on in nearly every way through the United States of America. If you want to look for a "Revived Roman Empire" in Biblical prophecy, look no further. If you live in the good ol' U.S. of A., you are standing in it. And the proof is all over Washington, DC!

American has always been a nation at war:

For nearly 25% of her short history, America has been engaged in active war. But keep in mind that in addition to the above major "war titles" we have also been engaged in numerous "police actions, skirmishes and covert operations" all over the world in between and during those wars as well. And in the process, we've been setting up both military bases and embassies in all of these countries, acting as "champions of liberty" and the "world's policemen." We are everywhere! And with President Bush's declared "War on Terror" we will always be at war! Why? Because that is a war not against a people group or nation, but rather against an idea... and it will never end! Indeed, the god of war rules this country!

The Romans called him Mars. To the Greek, he was known as Ares. They were known as gods of war. Who else had that title? The more ancient Sumerian god, Ninurta did too. And in Sumer and Akkad, Ninurta (derived from Ningursu) was the god of the constellation which became known as Orion. So, could it be that all of these are just various incarnations or titles for Nimrod - the mighty hunter?

We've already looked at the various "mighty hunters" that Nimrod has appeared as throughout the centuries and different cultures. So, regardless of whether there is a direct tie between Mars and Nimrod, they are both of the same warring spirit. Nimrod was the first god-king-warrior to rule the world after the Flood. All other legends and myths concerning gods, depicting the same attributes can be traced back to him. And that sort of iconography can be seen all over our nation's capital city.

Our current "War on Terror" was the direct result of the events of 9/11. I confess, I am one who now unashamedly and whole-heartedly believes that "9/11 was an inside job." I didn't always feel that way though. In fact, for a long time, I would have been highly insulted by the insinuation that our government would do such a thing to its own people. I simply could not believe that and blasted anyone who did. It was much easier to put the blame on people with funny turbans around their heads living in caves on the other side of the planet. But when you remove the passion that comes with national pride and look at the facts objectively, there are just way too many holes in the "Official Story" of 9/11 for me to buy it anymore.

Why do we believe the things we are told in mainstream media?

The Secret Societies that orchestrate these wars love to use Nimrod's mystical iconography on everything, because they know they are very powerful tools. Just turn over your dollar bill and there you'll see his all seeing eye watching you. There is power in such iconography because they are symbols. Symbols conceal for those who don't have eyes to see and they reveal for those who do have eyes to see. And we carry them around in our pockets all the time. They are flashed on screen and in print everywhere we look. We simply can not get away from it. But once your eyes are opened to seeing, you will indeed be able to see through the lies.

If we do not learn to truly see, the Elite will continue to play us all for fools - civilian and service personnel alike. For instance, in order to keep us all fighting and killing, there must be a "face of evil" for us to go after. For the past two decades or so, one of those faces was that of Osama bin Laden. That face has been the primary, motivating force behind the whole "War on Terror" - as if this one man could orchestrate all the terror in the world. Indeed, his image has been a powerful tool in the hands of the Elite for keeping America at war. Thus, when the reports came in that he had been "killed," the whole country stood and cheered in victory - posting on all over their Facebook pages:

"Ding, dong, the witch is dead!"

To which I screamed as loud as I could (mostly in CAPS), "FORGET ABOUT THE WHICH! THE WIZARDS ARE STILL BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!!" Still not too many really heard what I was saying.

I could easily write another whole book on why I believe 9/11 was an inside job, but I won't. Suffice it to say, this administration, just like the previous one is capitalizing on the fear and trauma of the public. Just listen to the constant reinforcement of the "Official Story" concerning 9/11 in this video that followed the supposed death of Osama bin Laden:

This video is so full of garbage (< yes, I was thinking of a much stronger word when I wrote that)! But the Elite apparently believed that the American people needed a refresher course in brainwashing. So, they orchestrated the "killing" of Osama Bin Laden and then they immediately went on the air and proceeded to feed the lie to us once more. If you have not already done so, please watch the above video from start to finish, then watch this fantastic summary of the "Official Story" that makes a whole lot more sense:

When I was able to step away from the noise of corporate controlled media and think for myself, I had many of the same questions and realizations depicted in this satirical video. So I began to search for answers myself... and boy did I find them! Ladies and gentlemen, we have been lied to! About a great many things.

If this sort of information is new to you, I suggest you spend some time watching non-mainstream news videos and documentaries concerning the numerous events of 9/11 that do not line up with the "Official Story." Here are a couple to get you started:


LOOSE CHANGE

(this is the one that started it all for me)

9/11 MYSTERIES
(gotta love the totally bogus "eye-witness" at 3:17)

Here it is 10 years later, and most of America still believe that box-cutter toting, inexperienced, Muslim, terrorist pilots brought down 3 buildings at free-fall speed (violating all laws of physics) and managed to slam into the most secure, monitored and reinforced building on the planet, the Pentagon with no resistance from anyone or video footage to verify that this indeed happened. And now those same people are overjoyed that we supposedly killed the so-called mastermind behind it all - Osama bin Laden. But did you know that there have been a number of reports stating that Osama bin Laden had either died or been killed - in mainstream news - since 2001? Here are just a few:

Bin Laden Already Dead

December 26, 2001
Usama bin Laden has died a peaceful death due to an untreated lung complication, the Pakistan Observer reported, citing a Taliban leader who allegedly attended the funeral of the Al Qaeda leader.

Is Bin Laden Dead?

September 23, 2006
Earlier on Saturday, the French newspaper L'Est Republicain cited a report by the French intelligence service, Direction Generale des Services Exteriors (DGSE), saying that Saudi intelligence officials "seem to have become convinced that Osama bin Laden is dead." The report quoted by the newspaper said the Saudis believe bin Laden "might have succumbed to a very serious case of typhoid fever resulting in partial paralysis of his lower limbs while in Pakistan on August 23, 2006." Echoing that report, a Saudi source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told TIME that Saudi officials have received multiple reports over the last several weeks that Bin Laden has been suffering from a water-borne illness. "This is not a rumor," said the source.

WEINER: Osama bin Laden is dead

December 23, 2010
CIA reports, doctors and biographers have asserted that bin Laden had (has) a range of diseases from typhoid to renal disease, Addison’s disease, secondary osteoporosis and Marfan syndrome. Intelligence agencies think that in 2000, he had kidney-dialysis devices shipped to him in Afghanistan. His 1987 biography states that bin Laden was being treated with insulin for diabetes and suffered serious low blood pressure. Is it likely that the most wanted man in the world has been regularly receiving medical attention without detection for the past 10 years?

In 2008, former CIA case officer Robert Baer asserted, “Of course he’s dead.” In 2002 and 2009, Pakistani Presidents Pervez Musharraf and Asif Ali Zardari separately stated that bin Laden was dead. In 2002, FBI counterterrorism chief Dale Watson stated that bin Laden “probably” was dead.

Since 2004, we have seen no new bin Laden videos; we've only heard audios. One video released in 2007 could be a compilation of older videos. So why does the intelligence community continue to support the impression that he’s alive?

Some of these articles may eventually be taken offline as a result of people going there to read and confirm these things. In the meantime, start just start Googling:

Osama bin Laden dead 2001

Osama bin Laden dead 2002

Osama bin Laden dead 2006

Osama bin Laden dead 2009

It seems like nearly every time someone needed a boost in the polls, the press reported some progress in the hunt for bin Laden. Or if they needed a boost in American support for the "War on Terror" they released some new footage of [a poser pretending to be] Osama issuing new threats. But this most recent death report, appears to be the final one. And it was a good one too! American Special Forces led by President Obama strike hard and fast! Wow! And our troops get withdrawn from Iraq, just in time for Christmas - and so the minds of the masses can be put more at ease going into the holidays... and the next election year. Convenient.

Speaking of the holidays...

Today is Christmas Day. Therefore, I want to pause for a moment and address a comment I made in the Man of Many Names blog concerning why I believe Christians should have nothing to do with the celebrations of December 25th. Why would I do that? Because the origins of Christmas are directly related to the thesis of this entire book series... and it all traces directly back to Nimrod and Babylon! Before I go any further though, I feel it is necessary to lay a little bit of a foundation for this portion of the chapter:

Webster defines the word:

rebuke as: to express sharp disapproval or criticism of (someone) because of their behavior or actions.

condemn as: to pronounce to be guilty; sentence to punishment: to condemn a murderer to life imprisonment.

As I point some things out, please keep the above definitions in mind. I am not condemning anyone. Although, rebuke to the one being rebuked often feels like condemnation. Again, that is not my intent. Look at it this way: if I were stepping off into some sin - fornication, adultery, alcohol, drugs... whatever - would you not tell me that it is wrong? Or would you just let me continue on to my own destruction? I would hope you would seek to correct me and show me that the path I am on is not good.

Having said that, how well do alcoholics typically receive the message that what they are doing is wrong? How well does the fornicating adulterer take it when you tell them that they need to break off the affair? How well does the drug addict take it when you tell them they can't have anymore?

Usually, the response is not good and is often followed by, "Stop judging me!" or "What gives you the right to condemn me?" and other similar responses along those lines. And so it is likely going to be with the some of the subjects I will be covering here. I pray that you take what I write in the spirit in which it is intended and rather than become defensive, my hope is that this chapter blog will cause you to think about some things perhaps you have never considered before. Please do your own research and see if the Holy Spirit bears witness to what I am saying.

I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of Babylon, my people, so that you do not participate in her sins and suffer from any of her plagues."

- Revelation 18:4 (GOD'S WORD Translation)

Even as our troops have come out of Babylon (Iraq) in a physical sense, I believe the Church needs to begin its exodus from Babylon in a spiritual sense. The concept of a son of god being born on December 25th, goes all the way back to Nimrod, progressing into Tammuz, then Osiris, later Zeus, Mithra and a host of other sun gods who were all celebrated on the day we now call Christmas.

The actual observance of the day of Jesus' birth was long in coming. In particular, during the first two centuries of Christianity there was strong opposition to recognizing birthdays of martyrs or, for that matter, of Jesus. Numerous church fathers offered sarcastic comments about the pagan custom of celebrating birthdays…

- Encyclopedia Britannica


Christmas was not among the earliest festivals of the Church. Irenaeus and Tertullian omit it from their lists of feasts...

- The Catholic Encyclopedia

Writing about this very issue, Tertullian (A.D. 155-220) reports that the early Christians did not join in with the pagans in their holiday customs.

On your [pagans] day of gladness, we [Christians] neither cover our doorposts with wreaths, nor intrude upon the day with lamps…We are accused of lower sacrilege because we do not celebrate along with you the holidays… - Tertullian (c. 197, W), 3.44.

Christians have no acquaintance with the festivals of the Gentiles. - Tertullian (c. 198, W), 4.24.

You Christians have your own registers, your own calendar. You have nothing to do with the festivities of the world. In fact, you are called to the very opposite… - Tertullian (c. 2122, W), 3.101.

We must now address the subject of holidays and other extraordinary festivities. We sometimes excuse these to our wantonness, sometimes to our timidity – in opposition to the common faith and discipline. The first point, indeed, on which I will join is this: whether a servant of God should share with the very nations themselves in matters of this kind – either in dress, food, or in any other kind of festivity.… “There is no communion between light and darkness,” between life and death. Or else we should rescind what has been written, “The world will rejoice, but you will grieve”…When the world rejoices, let us grieve. And when the world afterward grieves, we will rejoice….There are certain giftdays, by which some adjust the claim of honor; or withothers, the debt of wages….If men have consecrated for themselves this custom from superstition, why do you…participate in festivities consecrated to idols?

- Tertullian (c. 200, W), 3.68, 69.

"The pagan Romans clad their doorposts with green and branching laurels...In the Saturnalia...presents come and go...There are...gifts...and banquets...yet Christians should have no acquaintance with the festivals of the pagans."

- Tertullian quoted by David Bercot, 
A Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs, 1998, p. 342

[emphasis mine]


To the pagans, the Saturnalia was fun. To the Christians, the Saturnalia was an abomination in homage to a disreputable god who had no existence anyway.

- Earl Count, 4,000 Years of Christmas: A Gift from the Ages (1997)


Faithful men of God who knew and loved the Scriptures of truth fought against the mingling of paganism with the name of Christ. They were valiant in opposing the entry of Christmas and its festivals among the believers.

- R. F. Becker, The Truth about CHRISTMAS: Flee from Idolatry


The early Christians discouraged the use of evergreen decorations in Christian homes and assemblies, because their display had long been associated with heathen festivals.

- Campbell, The Story of Christmas

Books I highly recommend:


Tertullian and many others strongly expressed the historical disapproval by early Christians of those who participated in pagan holiday festivities on December 25 and at other times as well. But the Christian Church of today is much different than it was in the first two centuries after Christ. George Barna writes:

If you spend time searching God’s Word for most of the common practices in conventional churches, you will rarely find them. If you go further and spend time tracing the history of these practices, you will soon discover that most of our religious habits are man-made choices. In fact, you’re likely to discern a pattern about the way that we “do church” these days: If we do it, it’s probably not in the Bible as one of the practices of the early church! Does it surprise you that most of what we do in religious circles has no precedent in scripture? This includes many of the activities within church services, the education and ordination of clergy, the routines commonly used in youth ministry, the methods of raising funds for ministry, the ways in which music is used in churches, even the presence and nature of church buildings…new perspectives and practices that churches have held on to for many years…

- George Barna, Pagan Christianity, p. xxvii-xxix

Christians today are showing that they are no different than the Israelites of the Bible, who were prone to straying in the direction of pagan practices.

And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.

- 2 Kings 17:15 (KJV) [emphasis mine]


And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

- 2 Kings 21:2 (KJV) [emphasis mine]


Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

- Jeremiah 10:2 (KJV) [emphasis mine]

What is the "way of the heathen" that the Lord was constantly warning His people to avoid? Pretty much anything that was not of Him! It's quite simple really. If God warned against it, the people of God were not to do it. Nothing has changed. God's laws and commands remain in full effect. The first one being:

"Thou shalt have no other gods before me!"

The Hebrew phrase translated to "before me" in English literally means, "before my face." In other words, God is saying, "I don't even want to see any hint of a false god among you! Get it out of my face!"

Barne's Notes on the Bible says:

Before me - Literally, "before my face." The meaning is that no god should be worshipped in addition to Yahweh. Compare Exodus 20:23. The polytheism which was the besetting sin of the Israelites did not in later times exclude Yahweh, but associated Him with false deities. (Compare the original of 1 Samuel 2:25.)

- Barne's Notes on the Bible commentary on Exodus 20:3

I've already shown you how many gods are "in His face" all over our nation's capital. But the Church compounds the problem by participating in things like Christmas and Easter... especially while doing so in His name. One of the responses I hear most when making comments like that is, "But that's not what it means to me..." followed by some excuse about not thinking about other gods, but rather focusing on Christ while doing what they do during those holidays. But it really doesn't matter what it means to us, it matters what it means to God!

While Christians argue that they are not worshipping or even thinking about any other gods on Christmas and Easter; claiming that their hearts and minds are solely on Christ, I have to ask how are those justifications any different from the rationale of the Israelites in the wilderness when they set up the altar with the golden calf?

Now when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people assembled about Aaron and said to him, “Come, make us a god who will go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.” Aaron said to them, “Tear off the gold rings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.” Then all the people tore off the gold rings which were in their ears and brought them to Aaron. He took this from their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool and made it into a molten calf; and they said, “This is your god, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.” Now when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation and said, “Tomorrow shall be a feast to the LORD.” So the next day they rose early and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.

- Exodus 32:1-6 (NASB) [emphasis mine]

Notice what they did. They set something up and declared that the works of their hands was God - the One who brought them up from their slavery in Egypt! And they worshiped a representation of a pagan deity, proclaiming that it "shall be a feast to the LORD!" The word "LORD" there in English is translated from the Hebrew word YHVH - the true name of God. Thus, they were doing as the heathen do - and doing it in the name of YHVH while claiming that He was the one they were thinking about as they brought gifts, ate, drank and made merry!

That is exactly what Christians all over the world are doing with Christmas! They are associating the Son of God with traditions that have always been attributed to the false sun gods of antiquity and participating in rituals that have nothing to do with the God of the Bible or His Son, Yeshua the Christ. If you keep reading about that story in Exodus, you will see that God was extremely unhappy about that sort of thing! It didn't matter what the people thought. Clearly it mattered more what He thought about it all.

The next usual response I hear from Christians is, "But God knows my heart..." Thinking about that response, I posted the following question on my Facebook page on December 13th:

If your spouse cheated on you with someone else, but you were gracious enough to woo him/her back (and did so at great personal cost) and then after coming back to you, they started to celebrate your birthday on the day the person they committed adultery with was born - while doing so in your name - how would that make you feel? Even if they said, "But I'm thinking of you. Honest. Oh come on honey, you know my heart." Would you be OK with that? Seriously?

I received over 150 responses! Before people realized what I was really asking, these were some of the responses and my interaction with them:

Male Friend A: This situation actually hurts to think of!

Me: I think so too.

Male Friend B: Where did you hear about this situation ? Is this something you read, or based upon some folks you know ?

Me: It was a disturbing situation I discovered that was happening to someone I love dearly.

Male Friend A: Oh gosh ! I'm sorry to know that.

Male Friend C: I know that Person as well..I agree, very disturbing. [this person got it!]

Me: Me too. Yeah, [Friend C]. quite a few have heard about it. Most just don't care. I appreciate your concern guys. Pray that the wayward spouse realizes what they are doing and has a change of heart. The other one doesn't deserve this.

Female Friend A: that is just so wrong

Me: I agree. How can someone do that? Especially to a spouse willing to love them so much!

Female Friend A: they only get away with what one lets them get away with.

Male Friend D: Do you think the spouse know the correct day to celebrate and just chooses not to? or do you think it's intentional? [this person got it!]

Male Friend E: It's like your spouse knowing your day off but, takes her day off on her ex lovers day off. Hmmmmm Probably just a "bad habit". What's another word for habit? Oh yeah .... "tradition"... [this person got it!]

Female Friend B: Betrayal once is hard enough; betrayal twice is unacceptable; betrayal thrice(?), hmmm...Forgive and forget which would mean to forget the one who betrayed you, end the relationship, and move on...

Me: Well, when you're married to someone, I would think you'd at least do them the courtesy of remembering their birthday. I mean, that's almost as bad as saying someone else's name while being intimate. Can't be good.

Thing is, this girl should know better. Her husband is truly an amazing guy. I know him. He's crazy in love with her even though she constantly does things that hurt him. I asked him why he puts up with it. He said, "I just love her so much. More than my own life!" I was reading a story once that showed how far he went to woo her back. Wow. I mean it was insane how much he did to get her back. And she does this? It's criminal. But yet he still wants to stay with her.

Some people just don't know what they've got!

Female Friend A: sounds like a addiction, he needs to go cold turkey. once a cheat always a cheat. they just get better at hiding it. not to mention he is now making her a idol. and we know the commandment about idols

Me: Yeah... I hear ya. How in love can someone be to take that kind of continual abuse? I know I couldn't deal with it. My previous wife slept with someone else. Short of crucifixion, or a terminal illness, I don't know if I can imagine anything more painful than that was. We ended up divorced. But if I took her back and she did that... wow. Game over. But he keeps pursuing her - to the ends of the universe if need be. I don't think it's idolatry though. It's the best example of unconditional love I've ever seen - because he knows that she has a lot of damage from the physical and emotional abuse of her previous relationships. He's willing to love her through it though.

Female Friend C: This is an awesome perspective ....I wish more would see it this way. [this person got it!]

Female Friend A: but even God punished Israel for adultery

Me: Yeah [Female Friend C], he tells me all the time that I have a lot to learn. In many ways I wish I could love like he does. What an amazing role model! I am so blessed to know him.

Yes, He did [Female Friend A]... but He also pursues her even to this day. And one day Israel will turn back to Him because of it. My friend reminds me of that all the time.

Male Friend F: That's an interesting scenario. Call it quits, but that's my personal opinion. Adultery is Biblical ground for divorce. The most disrespectful part is celebrating your birthday on the day they committed adultery. Maybe I misunderstood, but the day they chose to celebrate is not the spouse's actual birthday right? Anyone that will commit adultery, then rub it in your face by making a celebration of it has not been "wooed" back. Cut your losses and move on. Sometimes people get in God's way, and again, just my opinion, but it seems 100% clear that the cheating spouse was in a RELATIONSHIP with another person. There is a huge difference between a random sexual encounter and having two relationships going on in which special dates are remembered. If it was just cheating, I'd say, to each their own, but that scenario is way out of line. Cheating is forgivable, starting another relationship is not.

Female Friend A: sorry but your friend is a fool! As long as he takes it, she will do it

Me: Maybe so. But the Bible gives a great illustration of this whole scenario in the book of Hosea. God pursues and pursues His bride!

Female Friend A: but he also wants repentance

Me: Indeed He does.

Those were just a few highlights of the passionate responses that thread generated and my interaction with those Facebook friends. Those sort of responses continued for awhile until someone exposed what I was really saying.

A little over 3,000 years ago, the prophet Nathan used a similar parable to get David's attention (See 2 Samuel 12). The results were the same in that Facebook thread as they were in that Old Testament story. People got emotional and drew from personal experiences (pain) to give their opinions... and then they realized that they were the ones being rebuked as the unfaithful spouse.

When we realize that I am saying we are the bride who has confused our Groom's birthday with that of His arch-enemy, that thread should give us pause to think about our usual defense of Christmas. If we feel this way as humans made in the image and likeness of God, why should we not think that God feels the same way? In that light, "Oh but you know my heart." just doesn't seem to cut it, does it?

Let me just stop here and say that I do not believe this is a salvation issue! Nor I do I believe that a Christian who celebrates Christmas (or Easter) is going to go to hell for doing so. That said, I still do not believe God is pleased with a heart/mind that knows to do good and does it not.

Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.

- James 4:17 (NASB)

Is celebrating Christ's birth the right thing to do? I see no one in the Bible doing so, but I would not go so far as to say that it is wrong. Angels, shepherds and wise men celebrated it. Indeed, the birth of Christ is an amazing and wonderful thing to celebrate! But what about doing so on December 25th? Ah, now there is where I see a problem. The next response I usually get is:

"Well that's the day I choose to celebrate His birth!"

Since when do we choose what day to celebrate someone else's birthday? Should it not be on the day they were actually born? Next...

"But no one knows when Christ was born! So, why not celebrate it on December 25th?"

First of all, I believe that is a lie. I don't believe that "no one knows when Christ was born." I believe the Bible tells us exactly when He was born. And it most certainly was not on December 25th! The Bible gives us all we need to know about everything we need to know concerning God's redemptive plan for mankind. In it, God Himself tells us which holidays He wants us to celebrate and specifically when we are to do so. They are called the Seven Feasts of God. See Levitcus 23 for a full description, but in a nut shell, they are:

        1. Passover
        2. Unleavened Bread
        3. First Fruits
        4. Pentecost
        5. Trumpets
        6. Atonement
        7. Tabernacles

The first thing I want you to know is that these are not the Feasts of the Jews. They are the Feasts of YHVH!

These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.

- Leviticus 23:4 (KJV)

On Mt. Sinai, God essentially gave Moses the "Script" for His "Divine Drama" and commanded His people to learn and practice it. If they did, they would know the timing and exact nature of each of God's Divine Acts, and most notably the works of Yeshua. And if we do the same, so will we!

Everything God did in the Bible, lined up with those Feasts! Thus, everything Yeshua did also had to line up! And you know what? They did! Thus, if we want to start looking for the time of Christ's real birthday, we should start there - not during the time of pagan Winter Festivals that were always associated with false gods that originated with Nimrod in Babylon. Thererfore, I believe part of coming out of Babylon means coming into an understanding of our Hebrew roots. After all, the Bible was written by Hebrews, for Hebrews, in a Hebrew mindset.

Jewish tradition says that Adam was created on Yom Teruah (aka the Feast of Trumpets and Rosh haShanah). I can not confirm that from the Scriptures, but based on what I can confirm, that notion seems plausible. For I believe that the "Second Adam" was born on that day and Stellarium (a free software that enables you to view stellar alignments throughout history) appears to confirm that notion! But Americans (especially) will perhaps find the exact date a little bit disturbing.

The Fall Feasts happen... well, in the Fall. And the beginning of the Fall Feasts is usually in the September/October time frame. Keep that in mind. Now let's look at a New Testament Scripture. I believe Revelation 12 gives us the best clue as to when Yeshua was born.

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

- Revelation 12:1-5 (KJV) [emphasis mine]

I've read a lot of commentaries on this passage and most (if not all) of them try to say that the "man child" is the Church. I strongly disagree. The Church is always referred to as a female and as the "bride of Christ." John is not all of a sudden advocating homosexuality. No. The Church is not the "man child" he is referring to. Further, the Church is not to rule all nations with a rod of iron, nor has she yet been caught up unto God and to His throne. The only One who fits the above description is Yeshua, the Son of God who was born of a virgin.

In the heavens, there is a constellation known as Virgo (the virgin). God has placed His Divine Plan both in the Scriptures as well as in the stars above.

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork.

- Psalm 19:1 (KJV)

Yes they do! The above passage in Revelation is describing a stellar alignment, which is indeed showing His marvelous handiwork. And that stellar alignment happened exactly as described on only one day in human history - September 11, 3 BC (imagine that!)! You can go to stellarium.org and download the free software to see it for yourself! Using that software, I created the imagery to the right in order to show you what I am talking about (note: the software reckons -2 as 3 BC). This animated GIF shows some amazing things in the early morning sky and I believe this is what the magi saw.

Here, I have the time set for 5AM. If the atmosphere and ground plain views were turned on, you would just barely see the sun about to come up over the eastern horizon.

The planet Jupiter would still be visible, looking like a bright "star in the east" - visible even in early morning daylight. Jupiter is known as the "king planet." Venus is known as the "queen planet." Beginning early in August of 3BC, Venus chases her king. As the waning moon crosses over the two planets around the 12th of August, the two overlap. This would have been a very bright alignment!

Around the 15th of August, Venus leaves her king and is joined by Mercury (who was known as the "messenger of the gods" in mythology). These two head for the constellation Virgo (the virgin). Meanwhile, Jupiter, the "king planet" literally parks and sits over Regulus, the "king star," which is in the paw of Leo, the "king constellation!" Again, this would have been a very bright alignment and a extremely significant sign to the ancient astronomers. And if there were truly "three kings" that witnessed the birth of Christ, these were those three (note: there were more than just 3 wise men who visited Yeshua).

Finally, on September 11th, 3BC, we see the waxing sliver of a New Moon (which signals the beginning of the Fall Feasts) under the feet of Virgo, who is now "clothed with the sun" shining brightly in her belly, with Mercury and Venus at her head. And if we consider the nine bright stars of Leo plus the planets Jupiter, Venus and Mars at and above her head, we have an exact match to the description John gives in Revelation 12:1-5! Thus, I believe the heavens declare the glory of God - and as such, they reveal that the true birth date of Yeshua was September 11th, 3BC and not December 25th! Dr. Michael Heiser agrees and has a good presentation on it that you can watch here: http://www.michaelsheiser.com/Videos/Rev12/Rev12.html

Now, Mark Biltz on the other hand gives a very compelling argument for Christ being born later in the Fall Feasts, during Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles):

Here's the thing: I am not an expert on this stuff by any stretch of the imagination, but as I understand it (experts please correct me if I am wrong), the Fall Feasts last 23 days total: Tishri 1 - 23. They are broken down as follows:

  1. Feast of Trumpets (aka Yom Teruah, Rosh haShanna) - Tishri 1
  2. Day of Atonement - Tishri 10
  3. Feast of Tabernacles - Tishri 15 - 21 with the 8th day of assembly on the 22nd and the giving of the Torah on the 23rd. 

"Tishri" would roughly land around the time we call September. But the date varies due to our reckoning of time by the sun vs the moon and the Gregorian Calendar vs the Hebrew calendar. 

As much as Mark's descriptions make a lot of sense (and may even be absolutely true), I still lean toward the birth being on the Feast of Trumpets, primarily because of Revelation 12:1-5. That Scripture - at least for me - takes the guess work and all assumptions, and "coincidences" (as interesting as they may be) out of the equation.

Regardless, either way... the Fall Feasts last for three weeks! So, why settle for a 1 day pagan holiday that has more to do with the Anti-Christ than Jesus Christ, when we can have a wonderful 3 week party with God, celebrating His Son, His way, on the days He set aside for our benefit and his Divine Plan!? There may be other, more sobering reasons to observe this season too.

September is the seventh month (Tishri) of the Hebrew calendar and judging by the sliver of a New Moon, September 11th, 3 BC certainly appears to have been the date for Yom Teruah (Trumpets/ Rosh haShanah), which begins with two witnesses confirming the sighting of the New Moon. Does that sound familiar to anyone? There are Two Witnesses described in the Book of Revelation! Could the time of Yeshua's birth be related to the timing of His return as well?

Many do in fact believe that Christ will return on Yom Teruah during the blowing of the trumpets - specifically the "last trump." Could it be that Yeshua will return on His birthday? If so, and you are one of those Christians who celebrates His birthday on the day that the Anti-Christ was born (December 25th) you'll probably miss the party!

If that is true, it only serves as yet another reason (among many) that I believe proves Christians need to not have anything to do with Christmas. It is a day of deception and it has nothing to do with our Savior or His real birthday. It is a day that will keep you in darkness and lead you astray concerning the days to come (for more on the Rapture and how I believe it relates to the Feasts of God, read my Rapture Riddle blogs, parts 1 and 2). And worse of all, it is a day that has roots going back to Babylon. And as the title of this chapter suggests, we need to come out of Babylon!

A friend on Facebook posted the following on my page earlier this month:

When the Da Vinci Code came out a few years ago, pastors were incensed about the movie promoting a fictional idea that our Messiah had children by one of His followers. Books were passed out in churches condemning this movie and exposing the lies. Sermons were preached everywhere attacking the lies in the movie. Meanwhile, each year hundreds of thousands of churches institutionally promote the lie that Christmas is about our Messiah among other vacant theologies.

Where is the same indignation about those lies?

In this case why are those of us who expose these lies for the purpose of helping people to see the truth the ones subject to condemnation while the promoters of the lies are defended?

I can certainly identify with the lamentation of his last question. I have come under a great deal of attack for taking a stand against Christmas - and mostly from clergy and seminary trained individuals who should know better. On one hand, they will say, "We know Jesus was not born on December 25th." and on the other, all of their songs, banners, cards and signage will indicate otherwise. That is both hypocrisy and lying wrapped up in one! How does that bring honor and glory to God?

My personal opinion is that Satan loves Christmas! Why? Because I think the adversary is rather pleased with the over-all effects of that particular holiday:

    1. More suicides than any other time of the year
    2. Pastors believing in and perpetuating a lie from their pulpits
    3. Parents lying to their children about both Santa Clause and the birth of Christ.
    4. Entire generations of gluttonous, spoiled brats who are never satisfied with what they have and demand more every year.
    5. People going into debt, thus enslaving themselves to a system created by Lucifer himself.
    6. People totally unaware of the true holidays that YHVH Himself told us to celebrate - but very few Christians know anything about.
    7. Churches spending money on Christmas lights, trees (that are ancient representations of Osiris' phallus), and other decorations steeped in ancient occult rituals - and putting them all over the house of God (church) just like the Jews did to the Temple!
    8. Churches putting on huge plays, spending money on costumes, props and lights instead of widows and orphans - thus corrupting pure religion as defined by Scripture: "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." - James 1:27
    9. The world laughs and mocks at us as being ignorant Christians, because they know the truth (that Dec. 25th is a pagan sun god worship day).
    10. Christians blasting those who try to share the truth.

I could go on and on. Do people get saved on December 25th as a result of Christmas and church outreach on that day? Sure. I've participated in, wrote and directed many Christmas plays that drew crowds who don't normally go to church. The same is true concerning Easter. But the reality is we should be doing that all year long - that is do things that draw people to Christ. We shouldn't have to do it through lies!

Further, if you only knew how many more people could be reached around the world with the kind of money most churches spend on Christmas and Easter celebrations!! I know one local church that literally spends millions of dollars on a massive Christmas show every year. Most of the people in the audience are already saved!! Do you know how far that money would go in third world countries on the foreign mission field? I was a missionary for nearly 7 years, I know how far that kind of money could go.

So, all said and done, I'd say the Devil actually has far more to gain from Christmas than do the lost and needy. And when it comes to the Great Deception that's on the horizon, Christmas and Easter have only been preparation for a pay off later. Why? Have you ever wondered why the Scriptures say that the whole world will worship the Beast? Because they already have - in ignorance. But if you can get someone to ignorantly follow you, it is that much easier to convince them to do more later.

Does God honor the heart of the Believer who loves Christ, who sings to Him and celebrates His birthday on December 25th in ignorance? I believe He does. After all, they don't know any better. However, we live in a day when people no longer need to do things or live in ignorance. All the truth we need is here and readily available. But now, people refuse to hear it and blast people like me who seek to share it. Being willfully ignorant is different from simply not knowing something. As a traveling evangelist I heard long ago once put it, "Willful ignorance is like being dumb on purpose."

So yes, I think the Devil loves Christmas! More Christians celebrate on the day he created to be a holiday than they do the 7 Holy Feasts that GOD created to be observed and celebrated. And that right there has to be the ultimate snub to God.

Lucifer is the ultimate ego-maniac! He will do everything he can to get people to worship him - even if it means slapping the name of Jesus over the former names of Zeus, Osiris, Mithra, Baal, Tammuz, Nimrod, etc. to do it. I can almost see him laughing at us and mocking God. I believe he looks at all of this and says,

"Ha, ha, ha YHVH! Look at that! They know nothing about YOUR holidays, but they love mine! And he, he, he, Ho, Ho, Ho... they actually think they are celebrating YOUR Son's birthday! Wow! Gotta love it!" 

Meanwhile Jesus is all alone on Yom Teruah (His real birthday), with only a few people gathered to honor that and all of the other days His Father set aside for us to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.

Speaking of Ho! Ho! Ho! - I won't even bother to go into all of the Satanic links there are to Santa Clause. But consider this: In Hebrew, Ho-Ho-Ho would be spelled Hey Vav-Hey Vav-Hey Vav. The letter Hey at the beginning of a word means "the" and the letter Vav has a numerical value of 6. Hmmmm... Does that mean, "Ho-Ho-Ho" really means, "The 6-The 6-The 6" number of the Beast? Maybe it's just a coincidence. Then again, maybe not. All of this comes from Nimrod. And as we've already learned, Nimrod is the Anti-Christ. So, apparently it all fits together quite well.

Church, it's time we come out of Babylon!

If you can not receive any of the things I've been saying about Christmas, please at least take the time to watch the following outstanding video by Jim Staley before criticizing me or posting negative comments about this material. Jim does a fantastic job of tracing the origins of our traditions, where they came from (Babylon) and why we started doing them... as well as why we should stop.

So, what does all of this boil down to? I believe that as both Americans and as Believers in Yeshua, we must wake up and speak up! We can no longer stay silent. We have been lied to about a great many things and if we don't wake up soon, and start learning and teaching others about the truth, it will be that much easier for billions to be deceived in the Coming Great Deception that Yeshua spoke of, which will spread like a cancer in the Last Days.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

- Matthew 24:24 (KJV)

Some have argued that "if it were possible" means that it is not going to be possible. However both Yeshua and the Apostle Paul seem to indicate just the opposite is true:

And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

- Luke 21:8 (NIV) [emphasis mine]


Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

- Galations 6:7 (KJV)


Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

- 2 Thessalonians 2:3 (KJV) [emphasis mine]

These are admonitions to not let or to not be deceived. That implies that it is indeed possible. It is up to us to not let that happen. But if it has been so easy to deceive us so far, I feel confident in saying, "You ain't seen nothin' yet!" It is going to get worse, much worse. And whether I am 100% correct in all I have written here or not is irrelevant. If even some of this book is true, we are going to need to be as close to our Savior as possible to avoid the dangers that lie ahead. We must come out of Babylon! Her ways are evil. She brings plague, sickness and disease of mind, spirit and body and the call of the Last Days grows louder and louder:

I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of Babylon, my people, so that you do not participate in her sins and suffer from any of her plagues."

- Revelation 18:4 (GOD'S WORD Translation)

I don't believe it is just a coincidence that Christ was really born on September 11th, and that just so happens to be the worst date in American history. Can you imagine singing, "It's the most wonderful time of the year..." on that day? The Devil has done everything he can to steer us away from the things of God and to set the stage for his son, the Anti-Christ, Nimrod to rule and reign.

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

- 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 (KJV) [emphasis mine]

I believe the "falling away" Paul is referring to is a departure from the true faith (as opposed to a physical depart as some Pre-Trib Rapture adherents like to propose). I believe the Coming Great Deception will indeed be very great and I also believe it will be possible for many Christians to also be deceived right alongside everyone else. That is my primary motivation behind all that I am writing: I don't want to be among the deceived and I don't want you to be either!

Babylon has indeed been rising. Everything I have written about here came from Babylon. It's time we came out from Babylon too. It actually makes me sick when I concider the depths of the deception that impacts our lives on every level; from the foods we eat to the days we celebrate as holidays; from the truth behind our country's foundation to the millions dying around the world in unjust wars based on lies. It literally touches everything!

I am not judging anyone except myself at this point. It truly saddens me, because I was guilty of playing the game for 41 of the 42.5 years of my life. By that I mean that I didn't take the time to truly search out the truth behind these things for myself. I believed what I was told by good people who were only teaching what they were taught. But it has been said that, "Traditions are passed down to us in innocence and accepted in ignorance."[9] In years past, I accepted much in ignorance and as a result I participated in a lot of things that only contributed to the problem and unknowingly drew me farther away from Christ and closer to the Anti-Christ (whether I knew that was happening or not). Never again! And I would encourage you not to even listen to the things that I have said either. You are not going to be held accountable to me. You will be held accountable to God. I could be wrong about some or all of this. Or I could be right about some or all of it. I don't know. I've simply done my best to share what I believe I have learned. So please ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to all truth. Check the things I have said out for yourself. Try the spirits to see whether they be of God or man or Devil. And I will leave you with this prayer, that I have sincerely prayed for myself as well:

Father in Heaven, please forgive me. I know I am a sinner. I believe You sent your Son, Yeshua (Jesus) to die a horrible death on the cross to pay the price for my sin and to draw me out of Lucifer's grasp in order that I may spend eternity with You. I accept Yeshua's (Jesus') sacrifice and ask Him to come and live in my heart right now. Cleanse me of my sins and save me Lord. Father send Your Holy Spirit to help me know and do right. Yahweh, please help me to get on Your calendar and to no longer give the Devil any form of worship - even in ignorance! Help me to know and to share the truths You reveal to me in love so that others can come out of Babylon before it's too late. In Yeshua's (Jesus') holy name I pray, Amen.


If you prayed that prayer and this is the first time you've asked Christ to be your Lord and Savior,
please send us an e-mail and let us know. We'd love to celebrate and pray with you!


In the next book in this series, Babylon Rising: The Return of the Nephilim, I will show you what I believe is soon going to be "coming upon the earth" that will be so terrifying that men's hearts will fail them at the sight of it.[10] And I will show you what I believe is going on with the recent and massive increase in UFO sightings all around the world and how I believe it relates to Genesis chapter 6.

In book 3, Babylon Rising: Mythology and the Coming Great Deception, I will show you how deep the deception goes and how far back in history it can be traced. I will show how Nimrod went from a man to a "mighty hunter" to a god and how his fame spread through various cultures, spinning off entire world religions and cults. And I will trace the origins of mythology and show you how I believe it will all come together to form the Coming Great Deception.

And finally, in book 4, Babylon Rising: Countdown to Armageddon, I will try to summarize it all up with an in-depth look at prophecy and how I believe all of these things will play out in these Last Days - from the rise of Babylon and her Anti-Christ to their bitter end in fiery judgment.

Footnotes:

  1. See Genesis 11 and Jasher 9 [back]
  2. It would appear that Semiramis may have been a daughter of Cush. Through incest with her father, she produced Nimrod. Thus, she became both his half-sister, mother and wife. Google: Semiramis mother sister Nimrod [back]
  3. Read "Too Long in the Sun" and "Time is the Ally of Deceit" by Richard Rives and "The Pagan-Christian Connection EXPOSED" by Michael Rood [back]
  4. "Order 66" was the executive order of the Emperor in Star Wars III: Return of the Sith. Upon execution of that order, the cloned army turned against and killed all the good Jedi warriors. (I didn't plan it, but how interesting that this footnote is #6 concerning Order 66!) [back]
  5. Strong's #32: angel, messenger.

    From aggello (probably derived from ago; compare agele) (to bring tidings); a messenger; especially an "angel"; by implication, a pastor -- angel, messenger. [back]

  6. I believe Michael Rood coined that phrase [back]
  7. Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. - Luke 21:26 (KJV) [back]

BABYLON RISING
And The First Shall Be The Last

written by
Rob Skiba II

This e-book series is designed to explore many of the themes, concepts and ideas that will be in our forthcoming sci-fi series SEED. Thus, you might think of it as the non-fiction behind the fiction. To navagate this series, use the slide-out BLOG MENU to the left. Keep in mind that this is a work in progress. As such, each blog (chapter) is subject to change, modification and in some cases a complete re-write as I receive feedback, criticism and new revelation in my research. When I am fairly satisfied with what I have written, I will record myself reading the blog for your benefit. Whenever audio is available, you can listen as you read by clicking on the embedded audio player below each blog's title or by clicking here to bring up the all in one audio player. If I have not recorded a particular blog in audio format, it probably means I am not finished writing and/or editing it. When I feel it is ready, I will record it on my supplemental radio show, The Revolutionary Radio Project on BlogTalkRadio.com.

If you find this information helpful and interesting, please click on the "SHOW SEED" button to the right. That will take you to a page that will enable you to show your support for this effort by filling out a short and simple form that will help us gauge the level of public interest. Doing so will give us a valuable tool as we approach investors to get this project off the ground. It will also put you on our mailing list for future Babylon Rising blog updates. This way you can know when a new blog has been posted (or an old one has been modified).

You can also check out our SEED promotional page to have another resource for posting on Facebook and other social networking sites. Your support is greatly appreciated!


A note from the author:

This work represents some of my research, thoughts and ideas regarding history and the End Times. Do not take anything I write as the "Gospel Truth." I encourage you to be a “good Berean” and study these things out for yourself to come to your own conclusions.

DISCLAIMER: While I do believe that the books contained in The Holy Bible were Divinely inspired and written by men, I do not necessarily hold to the idea that only the 66 books we now have in our (Protestant) Bibles are the sole Divinely inspired books of antiquity. For instance, the King James Version (on which I was raised) used to have 80 books in it. Today, we only have 66. Many editions of the Bible throughout the centuries contained or left out different books. God will not contradict Himself. Therefore, the fact that there have been so many different "canons" of Scripture over the centuries proves to me that the acquisition and accumulation of Scripture has not always been Divinely inspired.

I also do not believe that any one version of our English Bible is 100% correct and accurate in its TRANSLATION. Granted, some are better than others. But Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic are all very complex languages and it is often hard for English as a language to do the text justice. Thus, I find that comparing different English translations can help show us a variety of ways of looking at what was originally written. I am mentioning this because throughout this series of blogs I will be referencing different versions of English Bibles as well as taking a look at some of the books not currently considered "canon" in our (Protestant) Bibles. Having grown up in a "KJV only" environment, I felt the need to say this up front. I pray that does not hinder you in any way and that this series of blogs is interesting, enlightening and encouraging to you.
