This is a two parter - I think. (And for your homework!) in Part One I would like you to read an End Times article by David Hathaway from his most recent Prophetic Vision magazine.It maybe the Americans can skip this bit, because if any nation of Christians is "End-timed out" it's the USA. The Brits however don't even know the Bible talks about such things. All our traditional churches have cleverly erased these parts from their schematics. This again , is not true in Norway, and perhaps of all the European nations they have defined themselves by being anti EU, because for them it is the return of the Roman Empire. Now I'm not saying it is or it isn't, but those who are unfamiliar with such things...read on from here:
'Conspiracy theory' is not new. The whole world has been in a power struggle since the devil first tempted Eve to disobey God. 'Evil imaginations continually' (Genesis 6:5), the rise and fall of kingdoms and empires, are the stuff of Bible and world history.
Bible prophecy will be fulfilled. Our prayers and our witness cannot change prophecy, but can change the part individual nations and persons may play.
Revelation 13 speaks of the 'dragon' who gives his power to three 'beasts', to control every tribe and people and tongue and nation, everyone whose name is not recorded in God's Book of Life. That is why we, as believers, have such a vital task - to preach the Gospel of God's Kingdom! Three spheres of human life are involved in Satan's plan - politics, religion and finance - the final control not being in the hands of the politicians or religious leaders, but the world financiers - 'no one will be able to buy or sell without the mark, the name or the number of the beast' - Revelation 13:17.The Freemasons and later the Illuminati, have long been considered key players in this end-game. The Rev Charles Finney, a great 19th century American evangelist, was a mason before his conversion. What he knew of the higher levels of that organisation fuelled his zeal to proclaim the simple Gospel of the lordship of Jesus Christ throughout the world. Dr Torrey and the Rev DL Moody, also leading evangelists, joined him in denouncing freemasonry. What was wrong? Albert Pike, freemason and leader of the Illuminati in the USA, wrote in 1889: 'LUCIFER, God of light and God of good is struggling for humanity against ADONAI, the God of darkness and evil ...

The world will come to US for its sovereigns and pontiffs. WE shall constitute the equilibrium of the world and be RULERS OVER THE MASTERS OF THE WORLD.' [But in reality Lucifer is the devil himself, whilst Adonai is the God of the Bible and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and it is Christ who is to rule the world. This is why for the mason, black is white and white is black - the chequered black and white decor is a very symbolic motif in masonic lodges. - Editor]
On 1 May (the day now celebrated by socialists and communists alike) 1776, Adam Weishaupt, a Bavarian, founded the Order of the Illuminati. Immersed in the occult and with the reputation of a human devil, the very practical goal of his secret society was to bring to fulfilment the plans of freemasonry and create a NEW WORLD ORDER by gaining a foothold in the key policy-making circles of European government. They had six strategies to destroy existing governments/nations: abolition of monarchy and national sovereignty, abolition of private property and inheritance, abolition of traditional family life and religion. Today this has almost been accomplished.
Only a few years after their formation, the Illuminati were the power behind the1789-94 French Revolution and the 'reign of terror', that threatened to topple the whole of Europe. (Britain was only saved from revolution by the preaching of the Wesley Brothers and others, turning the nation back to God.) Fifty years later, in 1847, the Illuminati formed the Communist League and commissioned Marx to write the 1848 Communist Manifesto. NB.

Money is key. Two centuries ago, the founder of the great Rothschild banking empire said: 'Give me control over a nation's economy, and I care not who writes its laws.' Throughout the 19th century, the International Bankers gained control of central banks in most European nations - any 'nationalisation' is cosmetic. In America the International (European) Bankers used the massive debts of the American civil war to take control: Congress was forced to pass the National Banking Act in 1863 of which Abraham Lincoln warned, "The Money Power preys upon the nation in times of peace and adversity... / see a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption will follow ... until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the republic is destroyed."
The American Federal Reserve system, founded in 1913, is not a government controlled bank, but yet another central bank in private hands. Charles Lindberg Snr fought the Federal Reserve Act saying, "When the President signs this bill the invisible government of the Monetary Power will be legalised... the worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking and currency bill."
Where has all this led, where is it leading? The enormous debt being created in the US is so devaluing the US dollar (which is the world's reserve currency), that China, probably the world's richest nation, and holding vast amounts of US dollars, has joined with other nations, including Russia, to propose a new dollar, a new euro and a third asian currency. - Or even finally, the establishment of a new single world reserve currency to replace the US dollar - probably by creating a new world bank out of the International Monetary Fund. This could easily lead to the situation where no one would be allowed to change the 'old money' for the new, or indeed, buy or sell without a chip in hand or forehead, potentially leading to the mark of the beast, Rev 13:16-18.
Existing empires, which are becoming stronger, would all be controlled by the Illuminati. The Club of Rome, founded in 1968, has already divided the world into ten political/economic regions (Daniel 2:41-43, Rev 17:12?!) known as 'kingdoms'. These are: North America, Europe, Japan, Australia, Russia, South America, North Africa and the Middle East including Israel, Central and Southern Africa, India and Malaysia, and China. But history has proved, the Illuminati will use war, as also debt mountains, to accomplish their ultimate purpose - which is world domination, which will only be prevented by the Return of Christ!
For 200 years the Illuminati have been steadily gaining control of nations, putting Satan/Lucifer's programme into effect; through the infiltration and creation of influential bodies; by financing wars and uprisings, then rebuilding these same war-stricken lands (Europe, Ireland, the Middle East); also through the artificial control of essential commodities (do you remember the unforeseen price hike in basic foods - rice and flour - at the beginning of 2008? - and energy price hikes); through the control of finance (eg the withdrawal of normal, short-term credit and the domino collapse of businesses); - all part of the crisis route to one world government.
Will it take a further financial collapse or World War III, a Middle East conflict, to finally compel a trembling world to accept world government - under the Antichrist?
World destabilisation brings FEAR and anxiety into the hearts and minds of ordinary people; a genuine longing for world peace makes many willing to let go of their own convictions and to regard the values of others as equal. One
weapon in the hands of the devil and of those who represent him will be worldwide worship of the beast -Revelation 13:8. Many agree with the words of the Dalai Lama: 'The core of all religions is the same.' But the Bible warns that if you do not receive the truth about your salvation, you will instead receive
a strong delusion and, like the
Dalai Lama, believe a lie! - 2
Thess 2:10-11.
But just as there will be a 'mark of the beast' for those who adhere to this world's system, there is a mark of faith conferred by Christ, the deposit of the Holy Spirit in you, guaranteeing your inheritance in Christ - Eph 1:13-14. If you believe, you cannot, you will not let Him go! He is your only hope, now under this world's corrupt system, and for eternity. We should not be afraid! We can safely put our trust in Him, because God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life! - John 3:16. That word 'perish' has an altogether more relevant meaning not just for eternity, but for the very days in which we are living now!.JPG)
Jesus is coming anytime now! The real ministry of believers is not to form 'social, self congratulatory clubs', but to prepare themselves and the world for Him. Believers on earth are the body of Christ - we are inheritors of His power and authority. We are empowered by His Spirit who raised Him from the dead! We are not only able, but commanded, to do what Jesus did on earth, to fulfil the 'follow-up' ministry to His earthly ministry. Our job is the preparation for His return and for His world government!
Everything which is happening in the spiritual time-scale today, now, is in preparation for the Second Coming of
Jesus. If we believe Christ is coming, we will prepare ourselves. But not by a passive 'spirituality', but by actively obeying His command to preach the Gospel, saving souls from hell fire!
