THE THEORY OF THE JUST WAR

Most American Christians today are unwilling to confront the FALSE PARADIGM in which they are living – a sham reality that has the potential to "shipwreck their faith" (1 Timothy 1:19); and this is especially true with regard to their feelings concerning the American New World Order System and the renegade church that supports that system - and all this despite the plain testimony of Scripture and the basic facts of the matter. [Please see our articles, "In Search of Babylon: What Do the Scriptures Say" and "Apostasy: Christianity in the Service of a Religio-Political-Corporate-Terrorist State."]

The reason for this, of course, is not all that difficult to ascertain: for American Christians to admit to the reality of this matter is tantamount to opening themselves up to a NIGHTMARE; a PHANTASM that - if accepted - cannot help but sweep away the comfortable conceits around which most of them have constructed their lives; conceits that allow them to remain anchored to the "good life" in the United States, and ones that prevent them from taking any kind of MEANINGFUL action with regard to the Prophetic Scriptures – and not only that, but conceits that allow them to imagine that the business elites with whom they have allied themselves are "decent" people who have acquired their wealth as the result of "hard work" and "good deeds;" businessmen and women who want nothing more than to help the Christian community "establish righteousness" in the world and bring in the "Kingdom of God." But this is a LIE, and an easily pierced one at that. [Please see our article, "The Rich Have Seized Control of the Church."]

The Bible says:

"They that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in DESTRUCTION and PERDITION.

"For the love of money is the root of ALL evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." (1 Timothy 6:9-10)

And the Bible goes on from there to state the obvious:

"Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?

"Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?" (James 2:6-7) [Please see our article, "Capitalism and Christianity."]

The answer, of course, is, "Yes!" Plainly, the rich oppress the poor.

Naturally enough, most Christians - at least those in America - believe otherwise; but in doing so, they are clearly at odds with the Scripture. Not only are Christians NOT to take the side of the rich, they are called to repudiate their own wealth if they want to follow Him. Jesus said:

"... If thou wilt be perfect, GO SELL [ALL] THAT THOU HAST, AND GIVE IT TO THE POOR, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me." (Matt. 19:21)

Do you believe these Scriptures? - OR do you, perhaps, believe that they are something of an exaggeration? - that the Bible is "overstating" to make a point? If you believe that - i.e., that the Bible is "expanding" the truth a little here - then you are living in a FALSE PARADIGM; one that utterly prevents you from seeing the truth, and one that has allowed you to construct your "reality" - your "paradigm" - on a foundation of LIES that cannot help but skewer your view of the American New World Order System and the apostate church that supports that system.

INTRODUCTION

There are many Christians today who believe in the "Theory of the Just War" – AND THEY USE IT TO VALIDATE AMERICA'S UNWRITTEN ALLIANCE WITH ISRAEL AGAINST THE "NATIONS OF ISLAM." [We urge you to see Chapter XV of The New Antipas Papers, The "Gog/Magog War," and particularly Part 6, "Israel's Agreement with Hell."]

The armed forces of militant Islam

But such a theory flies in the face of the clear teaching of the Scriptures. Jesus said:

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

"But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

"And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.

"And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

"Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

The corrupt papacy of Alexander VI & Leo X

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

"But I say unto you, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU, DO GOOD TO THEM THAT HATE YOU, AND PRAY FOR THEM WHICH DESPITEFULLY USE YOU, AND PERSECUTE YOU;

"That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

"For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?" (Matt. 5:38-46)

The concept of the "Just War" is a concoction of the Medieval Church that used this notion to justify the West's murderous participation in the crusades and its bloody conquest and subjugation of the "New World" as well as Africa and much of Asia – all in the name of the "Prince of Peace."

FROM WHENCE COME WARS

The Bible instructs us that wars result from COVETOUSNESS:

"From whence come wars ... ? come they not hence, even of your lusts ... ? (James 4:1)

What the Bible is saying here is that, ultimately, wars are not about ideology or God, or any other such things. These are just the masks behind which those who indulge themselves in the rapacity of war hide themselves. In the end, it's all about GREED and AVARICE:

"Ye lust, and have not: [so] ye kill, and desire to have [more], and cannot obtain: [so] ye fight and war [all the more] ..." (James 4:2)

Lust & Avarice by Hudson

Michael Parenti - one of the most astute observers of today's "world condition" - writes in the magazine Covert Action Quarterly about the greed and avarice that drives the "richy-riches" of this world, and most particularly, those in charge of the American New World Order System:

"The goal of conservative rulers around the world, LED BY THOSE WHO OCCUPY THE SEATS OF POWER IN WASHINGTON, is the systematic rollback of democratic gains, public services, and common living standards ..."

Parenti calls those who are a part of this "ruling class" a "RABIDLY ... (anti-leftist) PLUTOCRACY."

NOTE: A plutocracy is an oligarchy that measures its worth by the money it possesses; and isn't this what today's corporate culture is all about? - the corporate culture of Bernie Ebbers, Ken Lay, etc. [Please see our article, "The Elite, Money and the End of Days."]

Parenti goes on to say that the only thing this plutocracy wants is "EVERYTHING:"

"All the choice lands, forests, game, herds, harvests, mineral deposits and precious metals of the earth; all the wealth, riches, and profitable returns; all the productive facilities, gainful inventiveness, and technologies; all the surplus value produced by human labor; all the control positions of the state and other major institutions; all public supports and subsides, privileges and immunities; all the protections of the law with none of the constraints; all the services, comforts, luxuries, and advantages of civil society with none of the taxes and costs. Every 'ruling class' has wanted only this: all the rewards and none of the burdens."

SECURING THE OIL WEALTH OF IRAQ
FOR THE AMERICAN OIL ELITES

It is PRECISELY this kind of acquisitiveness - the kind that Parenti describes above - that motivated America to make war on Iraq. What this "elite of greed and avarice" wants is to secure the oil wealth of Iraq for itself. That's what this elite is really after; that's what the war in Afghanistan is really all about - i.e., grabbing the oil wealth of Central Asia for the American oil companies; and that's what the coming Gog / Magog War will be all about as well - grabbing the oil riches of the Middle East. [Please see our 2003 article on this subject, "The War in Afghanistan: It's Not What You Think."]

The truth is, as everyone knows by now, Iraq posed no real threat to the United States per se. Iraq possessed no weapons of mass destruction. All the talk about nerve gas, anthrax, nuclear weapons, Iraq's supposed connection to al-Qaeda, etc. was just that - TALK. It was a smoke-screen to hide what was really driving the America's oil elites - capturing the oil wealth of Iraq, and eventually the oil wealth of all the Middle East.

And make no mistake about it, the stakes in Iraq are enormous from a monetary standpoint. There are more than SEVENTY known oilfields in Iraq, only fifteen of which have been developed. AMERICA IS MANEUVERING FOR AN "END GAME" THERE, and they are being driven by the MAGNITUDE of the prize that Gulf and Central Asian energy reserves represent.

America is maneuvering for the "end game."

A WAR AIMED AT
DE-POPULATING THE MIDDLE EAST

All this to say that, in a very real sense, the real target of U.S. hostility in the Middle East is the population that inhabits that area. Stephanie Reich reports -

"THAT THE U.S. [ELITES] WOULD PREFER TO REDUCE IRAQ [AND THE REST OF THE MIDDLE EAST] TO A SPARSELY POPULATED, POLITICALLY COMPLIANT, OIL-PUMPING ... [AREA]."

If that's the case, all the talk by opponents of the fighting that widening the wars in the Middle East and Central Asia could destabilize the area and lead to the further radicalization (and, ipso facto, the Islamization) of the populations there, falls on deaf ears. Why? - because the real aim of the oil elites is to permanently DEPOPULATE the area.

DEPOPULATING THE MIDDLE EAST

And isn't that PRECISELY the kind of outcome the Bible says will occur as a result of the Gog/Magog War? Of course it is! Read the Scriptures for yourself. The Bible says:

"And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth [after the war], and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and THEY SHALL BURN THEM WITH FIRE SEVEN YEARS: [Now think about that, SEVEN YEARS: it gives you an idea of the extent of the slaughter - i.e., that it will take seven years to clean up the mess, which, interestingly, is the length of the Tribulation.]

De-populating the Middle East

The Scriptures continue:

"And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.

"And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.

"Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.

"And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search." (Ezek. 39:2, 3-5, 7-9, 11-14)

THE BREATHTAKING CRIMINALITY
OF AMERICA'S GAME HERE

The fact that all of this (i.e., all this carnage and destruction) isn't just "happen-chance" and the result of "irresistible historic forces" between the sons of Ishmael (i.e., the Arabs) and the sons of Isaac (Israel), but rather the result of the evil machinations and maneuvering of a small cabal of greedy, self-centered, avaricious American oil elites is BREATHTAKING in its CRIMINALITY!

The breathtaking CRIMINALITY of the American elites

You say no? No one could be that cold-blooded! Well, you had better think again!

THE GOG/MAGOG WAR

"Cat's paw" is a phrase derived from La Fontaine's fable, "The Monkey and the Cat", referring to one used by another to accomplish his own purposes - in this case, the use by the monkey to use the cat's paw to get something off a hot stove. Painting here by Edwin Landseer.

The very real fact of the matter is, the Gog/Magog War will be like all other wars: a war of GREED - and while the leaders of today's American Church will try to tell you differently as the storm clouds gather - i.e., that it's a war that aims to "bring democracy to the peoples of the Middle East;" a war that aims to "break the power of Islam so that Christianity can once again bloom in its ancient heartland" - it's, nonetheless, purely and simply, a war of GREED. [We urge you to see Chapter XV of the New Antipas Papers, "The Gog/Magog War."]

I say again, the Gog/Magog War is about the effort of America's oil elites to hold on to their ill-gotten gain in the Middle East; it's about preventing the people of the Middle East - the rightful owners of this wealth - from taking back those riches and expelling America from the region.

Unfortunately for the people of the Middle East, mixed up in their effort to regain control of their fabulous wealth is a HATRED of Israel whom the people of the Middle East and Central Asia see as America's "CAT'S PAW" in the region.

And it's not without reason that they think so - because that's exactly what Israel has become: AMERICA'S "TOADY." In becoming so, the Israelis - a people who are called by God's great Name - have brought shame upon themselves and upon Him by whom they are called. [Please see our article, "Israel and the End of the Age."]

NOTE: The fact that Israel's alliance with the United States is not something approved of by God is made plain by the name God gives it: "YOUR [i.e., ISRAEL'S] COVENANT WITH DEATH" and "YOUR AGREEMENT WITH HELL:"

"Wherefore, hear the word of the Lord, ye ... men that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.

"Because ye have said, We have made a COVENANT WITH DEATH, AND WITH HELL (Prophetic Babylon) are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us ...

"(But) ... your COVENANT WITH DEATH shall be disannulled, and your AGREEMENT WITH HELL shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it." (Isaiah 28:14-15, 18)

Why does the Bible use such strong language with regard to this covenant? - because it is an abomination to God for His people to trust in anything but the hand of God! It is a fearful thing for the people of God [be that people Israel or the church] to trust in gentile world power. God calls it "harlotry!" Concerning this pact, J. Dwight Pentecost writes:

"According to Daniel 9:26-27 ... [Babylon (i.e., the United States)] will make a covenant with Israel for a seven year period. This covenant evidently ... guarantees Israel's integrity [i.e., is a defense pact] ... [and] also is a Satanic imitation of the fulfillment of the Abrahamic covenant which ... [guaranteed] Israel title deed to the land. This action is pictured by John [in the Apocalypse] (Rev. 16:2) as a rider going forth to conquer [as the first horseman in the Apocalypse] ... This condition exists for three and one-half years, after which the covenant is broken by the ... [Antichrist]."

CONCERNING THE OIL WEALTH
OF THE MIDDLE EAST …

Now one must be clear here: Concerning the oil wealth of the Middle East, IT IS GOD'S BLESSING TO THE CHILDREN OF ISHMAEL.

WHAT DOES THAT SAY, THEN, ABOUT THOSE WHO WOULD ROB ISHMAEL OF THIS WEALTH? – and, again, I speak here specifically of America's oil elites. [Please see our 2002 article, "The War in Iraq: What It's Really All About."]

Plainly it says that they are robbers and thieves.

Concerning this promise, Genesis 17:19-21 says:

"And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: BEHOLD, I HAVE BLESSED HIM, AND WILL MAKE HIM FRUITFUL, AND WILL MULTIPLY HIM EXCEEDINGLY; TWELVE PRINCES SHALL HE BEGAT, AND I WILL MAKE HIM A GREAT NATION."

The angel of God ministering to Hager and Ishmael 'So Abraham rose early in the morning and took bread and a skin of water, and gave it to Hagar, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered about in the wilderness of Beer-sheba. When the water in the skin was gone, she cast the child under one of the bushes. Then she went and sat down opposite him a good way off, about the distance of a bowshot; for she said "Do not let me look on the death of the child." And as she sat opposite him, she lifted up her voice and wept. And God heard the voice of the boy; and the angel of God called to Hagar, and said to her "What troubles you, Hagar? Do not be afraid; for God has heard the voice of the boy. Come, lift him up, for I will make a great nation of him." (Genesis 21:14-18)

Jesus healing the sick: the kindness of God

And just as His blessings to Israel cannot fail, so His blessings to the Sons of Ishmael cannot fail either.

NOTE: Yes! – Israel is God's CHOSEN PEOPLE; but you must be very careful here; they were not chosen because they were somehow or other congenitally better than any other people on earth; or because they were a people morally superior to the people who surround them; or that they possess some kind of innate spiritual DNA that predisposes them toward God.

He chose them in order to make an open show of His MERCY - i.e., that His dealings with man are based on UNMERITED FAVOR (i.e., GRACE) and nothing else! That's what the Bible says:

"He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

"For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

"As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

"Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

"For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust." (Ps. 103:10-14)

God is no respecter of persons. And His mercy toward Israel is an OPEN and PUBLIC demonstration to that effect - a historical display of His KINDNESS and COMPASSION for ALL to see who seek after God - for the Bible says that with regard to this matter (i.e., His mercy), He is - as Peter says:

"... NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS:

"But in EVERY nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him." (Acts 10:34-35)

And the Bible goes on to explain what it means here by the word "work:"

"Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." (John 6:29).

"All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags" (Is. 64:6)

What's that mean? - it means that our relationship with God - whoever we are - is based on His mercy toward us and not on any innate righteousness on our part; that if we try to approach God on the basis of anything we can do, we will surely fail. The Bible says:

"... we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." (Is. 64:6)

Again, the Bible says:

"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

"They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one." (Rom. 3:10, 12)

And so it is that we must trust in God's mercy to clothe us with His righteousness. But what assurance do we have that He will do so? For those of us who believe, we have, of course, the assurance of the Written Word:

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER (that surely includes everyone, no matter who they are or what they've done) believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

And the Bible goes on to say:

"For by GRACE (i.e., unmerited favor) ARE YE SAVED through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

"NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast." (Eph. 2:8-9)

But beyond the written Word, there is also the "testimony" of Israel herself in the "here and now:" Israel is God's OPEN and very PUBLIC demonstration in the HISTORICAL RECORD and IN THE EVENTS OF TODAY that God saves man on the basis of His mercy alone, and not on the basis of any righteousness we think we possess. After all, if God can remain faithful to Israel despite all that Israel has done, and all that she has failed to do, He can remain faithful to ALL those who call upon His name - and that He will fulfill ALL the promises He has made to us and bring us safely through to the end.

HATRED OF THE SONS OF ISHMAEL
FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL …

Sadly, however, the Bible speaks of a HATRED that the sons of Ishmael will develop toward Israel in the "Last Days" - but this hatred was not always so.  Indeed, the so-called "Islamic Revolution" - which now has become the main instrumentality through which the Arab people seeks to destroy Israel - is nothing more than an American invention that the U.S. helped to create and nurture as a movement to counter what it considered fifty years ago to be the main threat against U.S. interests in the Middle East: RADICAL SOCIALISM. That's what Nasser in Egypt, Quadafi in Libya, and the Baathist parties in Iraq and Syria were all about. [We urge you, if you have not already, to read our article, "Radical Islam."]

TO THE U.S., ISLAM WAS SEEN AS A RELIGIOUS "COUNTER-WEIGHT" TO THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIALISM AND THE SOVIET UNION.

The fact is, all of today's radical Islamic groups that are presently "bombing the hell" out of Israel are creations of the United States - from the Islamic Brotherhood in Egypt, to the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan and Iran, to Hamas and Herzbollah in Lebanon and Palestine. Every single one of these groups was originally funded with U.S. money and CIA backing. It is precisely this kind of maneuvering that has made war between Israel and her Arab neighbors all but inevitable. [Please see our article, Radical Islam."]

PROVOKING HATRED BETWEEN
ISRAEL AND THE ARABS

Seen from this perspective, the relationship that exists today between Israel and the United States is kind of like the relationship that would exist between a person (the United States) who surreptitiously "bonged" someone (Israel) over the head, blamed it on one of his friends (the Arabs), and then offers to hold his friend's (Israel's) coat when the fight breaks out - which pretty much describes the relationship that the Bible says will exist between "prophetic Babylon" (the U.S.) and Israel at the "end of the age. [Please see our article, "In Search of Babylon: What Does the Bible Say."]

Moreover, this analogy also pretty much describes the contrived nature of the coming Gog / Magog War; the sad fact of the matter is, Israel and her opponents are allowing themselves to be maneuvered into it – AND IT IS THE U.S. THAT HAS DONE THE MANEUVERING.

A PERPETUAL HATRED

Israel's borders prior to the 1967 War.

By now the hatred of the sons of Ishmael toward the children of Israel has metastasized into a PERPETUAL HATRED insofar as Ishmael is concerned - a hatred that is poised to finish what Hitler tried to do: Drive the Jews of Israel into the ocean and TOTALLY annihilate them. And, unhappily, this hatred is reciprocated by many Jews.

There seems to be no bridging this hatred; no way to resolve it. There seems to be no room for common ground between the sons of Isaac and the sons of Ishmael.

The fact is, even if Israel were to withdraw to its so-called 1967 borders, give up its defensive positions along the Jordan River, and withdraw from all its settlements on the West Bank, that would probably still not be the end of it. This is what Hussein Ibish and Ali Abunimah, both Palestinians, believe. They write:

"... the occupation is only one of two major issues standing in the way of an end to the century-old conflict. The denial of the right of millions of Palestinian refugees, those displaced in the 1948 and 1967 wars and their descendants, to return to their homes and land is also a fundamental obstacle. Unlike the occupation, it is an issue which has never been seriously addressed or properly understood in the U.S. All recent American and Israeli proposals for Israeli-Palestinian peace have been predicated on an unworkable and disastrous concept: that the world's largest group of refugees would renounce or be denied this basic human right."

But if the Israelis grant the Palestinians the "Right of Return," it will mean the end of Israel as a Jewish state. Contra wise, if the Jews refuse to grant the Palestinians this concession, the suicide bombings, the rocket attacks, etc. will no doubt continue endlessly into the future. As Newsweek suggested,

"Israelis know - as should the rest of the world - that the real division among Palestinians is not between those who want peace in the Western sense - i.e., as a point after which the world lives free of tensions with a consciousness of reconciliation. In reality, the number of Palestinian leaders holding this view is minuscule. THE FUNDAMENTAL SCHISM IS BETWEEN THOSE WHO WANT TO BRING ABOUT THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL BY CONTINUING THE PRESENT STRUGGLE, AND THOSE WHO BELIEVE THAT AN AGREEMENT NOW WOULD BE A BETTER STRATEGY TO RALLY FORCES FOR THE ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN LATER ON."

It seems that either way, Israel will eventually have to go if the sons of Ishmael are to be satisfied!

I WILL SAVE THEE

Amos Elon

All these things - the anti-Semitism, the anti-Zionism, the irreconcilable differences between the sons of Ishmael and the Israelis over Israel's presence in the Holy Land - have conspired together to produce a feeling of dreadful PARANOIA in the Jews regarding how the rest of the world feels about them, and a parallel sense THAT WAR WITH THE PALESTINIANS (AND INDEED THE ENTIRE ISLAMIC COMMUNITY) IS INEVITABLE. The very real fact of the matter is, Israel's back is up against the wall, and so much so that Jewish historian Amos Elon writes:

"I'M IN SUCH DESPAIR BECAUSE I FEAR IT IS TOO LATE. AND I HAVE ONLY TOLD YOU HALF OF WHAT I FEAR."

But the Bible says:

"And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; SO WILL I SAVE YOU, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.

"For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I repented not:

"So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: FEAR YE NOT." (Zech. 8:13-15)

SET THY FACE AGAINST MOUNT SEIR

And so God warns Israel's enemies, and most especially those Muslim nations in the Middle East who have arrayed themselves against Israel's presence in the Holy Land:

"Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir (i.e., those nations that immediately surround Israel), and prophesy against it,

"And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I AM AGAINST THEE, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.

"I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD." (Ezek. 35:1-4)

Mount Seir and Wadi el Ghar

Listen brothers and sisters: It is a fearful thing for someone to hear those words from God, "I AM AGAINST THEE." There can be no more frightening thing in all the world, because we are dealing with God here. The Bible says:

"... fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him (i.e., God) which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." (Matt. 10:28)

And why is it EXACTLY that God is against Mt. Seir? The Lord explains:

"BECAUSE THOU HAS HAD A PERPETUAL HATRED (against Israel), and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword ..." (Ezek. 35:5)

Now I ask you, Who is it today that has A PERPETUAL HATRED against Israel? Is it not CLEARLY those who are carrying out the suicide bombings in Jerusalem, in Tel Aviv, in Natanya, etc? SUICIDE BOMBING! - now that's hatred!

The Bible says that God is AGAINST THEM (i.e., all those who hate Israel in this way) and He will PURSUE THEM UNTO BLOOD!

Specifically, the Bible says:

"Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith (since) thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.

"Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.

"And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.

"I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD." (Ezek. 35:6-9)

"I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith (since) thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee." (Ezek. 35:6)

SOMETHING DREADFUL IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN

Get away, and get away fast!

Listen to me: you do not want to be found on the "RECEIVING" end of these verses for any reason! God is warning you! Get away, and get away fast! He is warning all those that are "round about" Israel - all those who will hear Him out on this matter - get away as quickly as possible. SOMETHING DREADFUL IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN, and you do not want to be around when it occurs.

All you believing Arabs who dwell in the vicinity of Mt. Seir, all you who believe and are "called according to His purpose," get away - and get your friends and families away too. A great calamity is coming. Something horrible is about to happen: all those who today say that Israel has no right to be where she is; all those who think that the Jewish people are trespassing on Palestinian land, you SHALL BE DESTROYED:

"I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee." (Ezek. 35:6)

What's that say, then, about those who believe that Israel has no right to the so-called "West Bank?" Who say that they are going to drive Israel into the sea? Who say that Israel should negotiate with the Palestinians? Who say that Israel should give up East Jerusalem and the Temple Mount? Who hate Israel with a PERPETUAL HATRED? - it says that God -

"... will even do according to thine anger (i.e., HATRED), and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy HATRED against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee." (Ezek. 35:11)

In other words, what the Bible is saying here is that God will hate these people to the degree that they have hated the Jewish people and the state of Israel.

WHO ARE YOU TO SAY TO GOD WHAT'S FAIR?

God is going to HATE them to the degree that they hated Israel? Wow! - you say that that's not fair? - well, I tell you something, WHO ARE YOU TO SAY TO GOD WHAT'S NOT FAIR? The Bible says:

"Nay but, O man, WHO ART THOU THAT REPLIEST AGAINST GOD? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

"Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?" (Rom. 9:20-21)

We must understand something here! HE IS THE POTTER AND WE ARE THE CLAY. There is nothing more to be said - and God help those who would dare to say otherwise, and challenge God's UTTER and TOTAL supremacy and sovereignty in this matter! The Bible says:

"Who is this (i.e., man) that darkeneth counsel by words knowledge?

"Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me (if you can).

"Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

"Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

"Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;

"When the morning stars sang together ...?

"Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

"When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

"And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

"And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

"Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;

"That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

"It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.

"And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.

"Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?

"Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?

"Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.

"Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,

"That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?

"Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

"Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?

"Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

"Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

"Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

"Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

"Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

"Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

"Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty (if you can)." (Job 38-22, 31-33, 40:2, 6-9)

"DECK THYSELF NOW WITH MAJESTY AND EXCELLENCY; AND ARRAY THYSELF WITH GLORY AND BEAUTY ..." if you can?

YOU ARE BEING SEDUCED

Brothers and sisters – get as far away as you can from any involvement in the upcoming Gog/Magog War – and I speak not just simply to those on the Arab side of the dispute, but those Christians who think they are on God's side in promoting an alliance between Israel and God's GREAT ENEMY, the United States. [Please see Chapter XII of the New Antipas Papers, "The Beast of Revelation 17."]

You are being played for suckers; YOU ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BEING SEDUCED into taking part in America's BREATH-TAKING CRIMINALITY - and it is not "Sally Frump" that is doing the seducing.

It's not "Sally Frump" that is doing the seducing. Don't over-estimate your ability to resist this seduction.

I solemnly warn you, do not be caught by this seduction; do not be found participating – knowingly or even unknowingly – in promoting the alliance between Israel and the United States. The Bible says:

"Woe unto the world because of occasions of stumbling! for it must needs be that the occasions come; BUT WOE TO THAT MAN THROUGH WHOM THE OCCASION COMETH!" (Matthew 18:7)

It is not without reason that the Bible warns us:

"... COME OUT OF HER, my people, that ye BE NOT PARTAKERS OF [i.e., participate in] HER SINS, and that ye receive not of her plagues [and that ye be not judged with her]. (Rev. 18:4) [Please see our article, "Come out of Her."]

Once again, we URGE you to read (or re-read):

1. The Good News of the Coming Kingdom.
2. The Kingdom of God Is at Hand.
3. The Principles of the Kingdom.
4. The American New World Order System Must Give Way to the Kingdom of Heaven.

God bless you all!
