INTRODUCTION

PART I: THE WEATHERMAN COMETH
[Subterranean Homesick Blues]

YOU DON'T NEED A WEATHERMAN TO
KNOW WHICH WAY THE WIND IS BLOWING

"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows!" That's what Dylan said back in the 1960s; but Jesus said it much earlier than that, though not that much differently, when He said -

"... When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, it will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye HYPOCRITES, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?" (Matt. 16:2-3)

HYPOCRITES! - that's what Jesus called those who are unable to discern which way the wind is blowing and the "signs of the times." And, plainly, when He said so, He was speaking to the "Religious Establishment" of His day, people who claimed to know what God wanted, but about whom Jesus said, "I NEVER KNEW YOU" (Matt. 7:23). These are those leaders about whom God told the prophet Ezekiel:

"Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds (i.e., the pastors and leaders of today's church) ... and say ... Woe be to the shepherds ... As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field ... Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand ..." (Ezek. 34:2, 7-10)

LIGHT YOURSELF A CANDLE

These so-called "shepherds of God," these hypocrites, these charlatans and fakes - they are "expert" at only one thing: HIDING THE TRUTH from God's people. As Dylan put it,

Look out kid They keep it ALL hid
Better jump down a manhole
And LIGHT YOURSELF A CANDLE!

Concerning such leaders and the half-witted, asinine proclivity of Christians to listen to them, Jesus said:

"... the children of this world are ... wiser than the children of light." (Luke 16:8)

In other words, unbelievers are more able to tell "which way the wind is blowing" than Christians. Sadly, however, Christians are unable to tell NOT because they CAN'T know the truth, but because they DON'T WANT to know the truth, fulfilling the words of Christ when He said,

"... in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

"For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted [i.e., turned away from their indolence], and I should heal them." (Matt. 13:14-15)

UNBELIEVERS UNDERSTAND,
BUT CHRISTIANS DON'T

Yes! - the unbelievers understand! Christians don't, but unbelievers do. Dylan understood back in the 1960s. He and his generation knew what the assassinations of John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King augured for the future: that the elites were prepared to do ANYTHING to preserve their wealth - that they were even willing to resort to REGICIDE (in this case, the killing of a president) to guard their privileges and power.

And, again, it's unbelievers today - for instance, people like Ted Rall - who know which way the wind is blowing and who are cognizant of the elite's wicked inclination toward the use of murder and terror aimed at preserving themselves in power. It's an inclination that was just beginning to unveil itself back in the 1960s, but one that is by now so fully rooted in the institutions of the state that the elites no longer have to resort to the use of "extra-legal" means and MK-Ultra assassins to do their dirty work; instead - thanks to the USA Patriot Act - they can now rely on the police, the FBI, the DEA, etc. to do their killing and "disappearing" for them. [Please see our articles, "MK-Ultra and the Search for the Manchurian Candidate," and "The Assassination of Gary Webb."]

Rall and his friends understand what this means: that it portends ill (i.e., murder, torture and death) for ALL those who today choose to oppose the American New World Order System, and so much so that, according to Rall -

"People who have spoken out against ... [the system] are (actually) talking exit strategy (now) ... fleeing the U.S ..."

PART 2:
THERE IS NOTHING MORE
THAT CAN BE DONE FOR AMERICA

THIS IS UNINTELLIGIBLE
TO MOST CHRISTIANS

All this, however, is incomprehensible to most American Christians. As a result, and not surprisingly, they balk at taking Rall's advise! - and not just those who have been "apostatized" and who, consequently, are actually enthusiastic in their support of the American New World Order System [idiots and nitwits like the late D. James Kennedy, Charles Stanley, C. Peter Wagner, Ted Haggert (now defrocked as a result of his immoral conduct with a male prostitute), Cindy Jacobs, etc.] - but those who should know better, even many who are (or who have been in the past) associated with Antipas. AND NOT ONLY DO THEY BALK, BUT THEY ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO THE SAME (if not by word, than by deed - that is to say, they talk about "getting out," but they make no preparations to do so), and by doing so they are storing up wrath against themselves on THAT DAY because "they are making God's flock a prey" to the minions who, as Dylan says, serve "the system." (cf. Ezek. 34:2, 7-10)

PRETENDERS AND POSERS

These are the kind of people Jesus called "HYPOCRITES" in Matthew 16:2-3 (above) - FRAUDS whose lives are out of sync with their rhetoric. They are PRETENDERS and POSERS who "wax eloquent" about the depraved wantonness of Babylon (meaning, in this case, the "Apostate Church"), while all the time refusing to separate themselves from it largely because they lack the courage of their convictions.

While they would never admit it, they are in love with the baubles, trinkets and "things" of this life (e.g., their homes, their cars, their bank accounts, etc.); and not only that, but many of them live in dread and fear of the contrary opinions of their families who are "hunkered down" in the carnality and sensuality of today's "Apostate Church" - forgetting the words of Christ when He said:

"IF ANY MAN COME TO ME, AND HATE NOT HIS FATHER, AND MOTHER, AND WIFE, AND CHILDREN, AND BRETHREN, AND SISTERS, YEA, AND HIS OWN LIFE ALSO, HE CANNOT [pay attention here - he CANNOT] BE MY DISCIPLE." (Luke 14:26)

HYPOCRITES! - people who hide their cowardice vis a vis their families behind a false pretense of "Christ-speak" and who compound their error by encouraging others to disregard the plain WRITTEN Word of God to "COME OUT OF HER" [i.e., to "come out of Babylon" (Rev. 18:4)] in favor of some kind of "vague feeling" to do so at a later date - a date more to their liking and their sensibilities (as if, somehow or other, the "Spoken Word" of God in one's spirit would contradict the Written Word of God in the Bible).

HYPOCRITES! - people who twist the Word of God in order to pander to the "convenience" of their listeners, and accommodate their anxieties.

THE PHYSICALITY OF
BABYLON THE GREAT

And we speak here only of "Religious Babylon." How much greater their hypocrisy swells when they begin to realize that there is something much more "in play" here than merely the so-called "Apostate Church" - at least insofar as America is concerned; that when the Bible says "... COME OUT OF HER, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues" (Rev. 18:4) there is a certain very real PHYSICALITY attached to all this; that in talking about "Babylon the Great," it is very difficult to tell sometimes when the spiritual gives way to the physical, and the religious gives way to the commercial and the political in Revelation chapters 17, 18, and 19; that they are so intertwined with one another that it is difficult to tell where the one ends and the other begins. Hence the words of Scripture "Come out of her" must of necessity, it seems, mean emigrating out of the United States; that to escape the one (i.e., the "Apostate Church") NECESSITATES escaping the other (the United States).

Indeed, when this reality is brought to bear - i.e., the reality that escape from the one NECESSITATES escape from the other (at least insofar as American Christians are concerned) - the hypocrisy of those such as Hymenaeus and Alexander, who bend the Word of God in order to "hustle" their listeners and oblige their apprehensions, becomes monstrous in its vigor and fervor!

HYPOCRITES! - ALL of them; people who refuse to believe that Christ is anything more than a "warm," "fuzzy" Santa Claus-kind of person who would never think to say as the Jesus of the Bible said:

"Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

"And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire." (Matt. 18:8-9)

BEING ASSIMILATED AND "BORGED"

Brothers and sisters, you don't need a weatherman to tell you which way the wind is blowing here in the United States. You should be able to feel it for yourself: it's an ill wind that is blasting away at this country, both religiously and politically - AND THE DANGER TO CHRISTIANS HERE IS NOT SO MUCH THAT THEY WILL BE DESTROYED (MARTYRED) BY WHAT'S HAPPENING, BUT THAT THEY WILL BE SUBSUMED BY IT; THAT THEY WILL BE "BORGED" AND "ASSIMILATED" BY IT - AND, THEREBY, MADE "PARTAKERS IN HER SIN." (Rev. 18:4)

Of course, the Left doesn't have to worry about that; no chance for them being absorbed; of them being assimilated. The elites hate them and their "socialist agenda" which threatens to strip them of their wealth and privileges with a deep animosity and malice that is hard for ordinary people to imagine. No! - they are not slated for "assimilation," but for destruction - no "ifs," "ands," or "buts" about it.

But I tell you the truth, it would be better for Christians in America to share the fate of the Left - i.e., to be destroyed (murdered or "disappeared") at the hands of "the system's" goons - than to be "borged" by "the system's" developing Police-State and made partners in its crimes; and then - when it's all over - to face the red-hot anger of God on THAT DAY. Concerning this very real possibility, the Bible says:

"Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

"But I will fore-warn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him (God), which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, FEAR HIM." (Luke 12:4-5)

It is a scary (fearful) thing to fall into the hands of the "living God" as an "unprofitable servant" (cf. Heb. 10:31).

CAST THE UNPROFITABLE
SERVANT INTO OUTER DARKNESS

I know that many believe in the theory "once saved, always saved" - and, generally, I do too; but, on the other hand, how does one interpret what Jesus meant when He said,

"... cast ye the unprofitable servant into OUTER DARKNESS: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." (Matt. 25:30) ? [We urge you to see Appendix 1 of this book, "The Peculiar 'Falling Away' of Babylon the Great" for more information on this subject.]

Verses like this should give Christians pause in their smug "certainty;" and clearly, Rev. 18:4 is one of those verses - or, again, how else can one reasonably understand what God means when He says, "Come out of her" lest you "BECOME PARTAKERS OF HER SINS" (i.e., unless one becomes tainted by her iniquity), and be judged with her (i.e., "receive of her plagues").

And remember here: this warning - in the first instance - has nothing to do with avoiding the suffering and tribulation that is coming on the whole earth, but rather it has to do with avoiding being "absorbed" by Babylon and made a partner in Babylon's sins. This is what disturbs God insofar as His people are concerned, AND IF IT DISTURBS GOD, IT SHOULD DISTURB YOU.

I repeat, the fact that we might suffer persecution (i.e., tribulation - that we might be rounded up and shot by "the system's" thugs) - that's NOT what troubles God. Indeed, the Bible says, "... In the world ye shall have tribulation ..." (John 16:33) No! - it's the fact that we will be corrupted spiritually if we stay - and not just insofar as "Religious Babylon" is concerned (i.e., the church of D. James Kennedy, Charles Stanley, C. Peter Wagner, etc.), but also the United States.

You say you can resist being "assimilated;" of being "borged;" that it's safe for you to stay in the country; that you are strong enough to do so; that you're the exception to the rule. Oh, really? - well, you may be gambling eternity on that assumption! - and that's nothing to be cavalier about.

A CONVENIENT BUT VERY WICKED
CONTRIVANCE AND SUBTERFUGE

In this regard, one shouldn't make the mistake that some do who say that eventually all the world will become part of the American New World Order System; and, therefore, to leave the United States will - in the long run - accomplish little or nothing for you. THAT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE! THAT'S A CONVENIENT BUT VERY WICKED CONTRIVANCE AND SUBTERFUGE.

Listen to me, dear Christian: it's true, all the world will eventually be absorbed by the American new World Order System, just as all of Europe was eventually conquered and absorbed by Nazi Germany; but there was still a great difference to be remarked upon insofar as Germany's conquered territories were concerned (e.g., France, Denmark, Poland, the Ukraine, Norway, Holland, Belgium, etc.) and Germany herself; and there was a GREAT DISTINCTION to be remarked upon insofar as the conduct of these different populations were concerned vis a vis the people of Germany. Germany's population actually PARTICIPATED in Germany's crimes; the population of Germany's "slave states" SUFFERED as a result of these crimes. There is a big difference here; it is, to put it in the vernacular, the difference between the "screwer" and the "screwee;" the difference between the one who is being raped, and the one who is doing the raping; the difference between MASTER and SLAVE - SO ALSO INSOFAR AS AMERICA IS CONCERNED vis a vis HER CLIENT-STATES, i.e. HER SLAVE STATES.

"Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." (Rev. 18:4) Think about that! - no such warning was ever given to Christians living in the old Soviet Union, or in China, or in any of the nations of the Islamic world; only to Christians in the United States (i.e., "Babylon the Great"). Now that's heavy! That's very heavy!

The truth is, the force of APOSTASY has now broken out of the "meeting halls" of the "super-church," and has poured out into the streets. The "religious" power of C. Peter Wagner, Tim LaHaye, Beverley LaHaye, Ern Baxter, Pat Robertson, Chuck Colson, Robert Stearns, Mike Bickle, Reuven Doron, Che Ahn, Frank Hammond, Cindy Jacobs, Bill Hamon, John Eckhardt, ad infinitum, ad nauseum has morphed into "street power;" it is no longer confined to the pulpit. Just because you do not "attend church" on Sundays does not mean you have escaped the power of Religious Babylon: it now holds the nation in its grip, and it is infusing itself into the nation's political and even its military institutions.

It's coming - fascism is coming to America. Nothing can stop it! And when it finally arrives, it will become - just as it did in Germany 60 years ago - IMPOSSIBLE TO FUNCTION ANY LONGER AS AN INDIVIDUAL IN THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT BECOMING INVOLVED IN THE GREAT WICKEDNESS THIS COUNTRY IS VISITING ON THE REST OF THE WORLD.
