Will this power stamp all his followers with a mysterious mark, in their foreheads, and in their hands? The bible reveals for us the real truth! The bible interprets it’s own prophecies! Take a plunge with me deep inside the truth, as we journey to expose the underground network of a power that has most definitely deceived most of all the population of planet earth!
The year is 2008, date is the 27thof march, and the place is my little mountain home in Leslie county Kentucky. The author is sitting, writing, and contemplating on, just what in the world, or out the world, could happen next in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Things are happening so fast, and there is so much going on, that, good ole' American citizens just can't keep track of it all anymore! In the past decade there has an unprecedented amount of natural disasters, wars, drought, and more importantly political and economical upheaval on a global scale. It seems with each passing day world events unfold at a 7 fold speed, and that the countdown clock is moving faster toward the grand climax of the ages. It's just like someone has pulled the plug out of the drain of freedom and morality, so that everything that people once loved and cherished is swiftly swirling down the drain.
Spiritual desolation is the key element that thoroughly exposes our current situation. As this book progresses one will see, that, Yahweh's people flourished as long as they kept his law of love, but when they began to tamper with pagan gods their crops failed, and they were driven from the land Yahweh had given them. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people, proverbs, 14 and 34. The old testament prophets spoke of Israel as an unfaithful bride, or she was described as playing the harlot. She went a whoring after other gods! ( see Ezekiel chapter 23 )
Believe it or not, but this is exactly the reason why America is being flushed down the drain! The same spiritual apostasy that brought about the destruction of Israel in 721 B.C., and Judah in 606 B.C., is the same spiritual power, that has with time, brought us to the brink of global catastrophe! For thousands of years this spiritual power has been working hard to deceive the inhabitants of the earth, and bring about a final calamity! This power has been clearly identified in the Holy Canon. Is this power secretly working to bring about a new world order? The answer to that question is a dramatic yes!
Hold on to your seat, or if you're standing grab on to something tight, because before this book is done there will be no question to who the beast power of Revelation is, what his mark is, and what the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation really mean. We will totally expose Satan's underground network of iniquity, and understand why this great country is about to suffer the same fate as ancient Israel. It is all in the bible, so let us let the bible interpret the prophecies, in a way that was once held by our American forefathers.
Chapter One ~ Captivities Sword
( study Daniel chapter one, & Jeremiah chapter 52 )
A dark day cast no ray of hope, upon the walls, and the great city of Jerusalem. Despite the repeated warnings from Yahweh's prophets (Daniel, Jeremiah, Ezekiel ), Judah sank deep in apostasy due to the wickedness of their kings. All at once, over the horizon, is seen a massive army. It is the armies of Babylon, along with their commander in chief, king Nebuchadnezzar. Most all the inhabitants of Jerusalem are taken captive, and the entire city is the scene of the flames of perpetual devastation. The beautiful temple, erected and finished under the supervision of Solomon, is laid waste! This was the city and the site where Jehovah( YHWH ), had intended through his people, to bring salvation to the pagan heathen nations. However, instead of converting the heathen, it was the heathen that corrupted, 1stIsrael, and then Judah - even to the point of sacrificing their children to the sun god Moloch. The very God that had nurtured them, delivered to them sacred heavenly oracles, and fought hard to drive out the heathen from the land of Canaan, has now called this Nebuchadnezzar His servant, and has allowed Babylon to destroy what was once a light to the pagan world. Yahweh's people are now in Babylon, capitol city of the world's dominating power.
However, Yahweh never starts nothing he can't finish! Along with the captives are 4 of Yahweh's soldiers; Hananiah, Mishael, Azariah, and a strong prophet called Daniel. After they are locked away in their quarters, there is presented to them a portion of the kings meat and wine, a mandatory diet for all the captives. The 4 Hebrews declined the food, telling the captain of the guards, that it is offensive to the diet of Yahweh. They cut a deal with him, that if he would only serve them pulse(beans), and water to drink, that at the end of 10 days, if they didn't look healthier than all the rest in the kingdom, then do as you please with us. The 4 Hebrews came out on top, making a deal that would set the stage for a list of trials, that would eventually allow God's people to return and rebuild their home, and also lead to the conversion of king Nebuchadnezzar himself.
