We
hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
— That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among
Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
(Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776).

mighty rivers flowed from England . . . with the water of life . .
. to water the soil of the barren, Satan controlled, New World wilderness.
The
New World was Satan's stronghold for thousands of years. He was not
about to surrender his domain without a terrible fight. Jesus said:
No
man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except
he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
(Mark 3:27).
The entire New
World . . . from sea to shining sea . . . was the exclusive territory
of the Evil One.

In
1607, English colonists crossed the ocean and landed
in the wilderness of Virginia.
In
1620, English colonists crossed the ocean and landed
in the wilderness of New England.
Satan
was HORRIFIED that his territory was invaded.

Pilgrims
landing at Plymouth Rock in New England in 1620.
|
The
3 English ships that landed at Jamestown contained a mixed multitude.
Some, like Edward Maria
Wingfield, were paid agents of Spain sent to sabotage the colony.
Some wanted to get rich quick, and some wanted to preach the Gospel
of Christ to the natives.
The
Pilgrims that landed at Plymouth Rock saw themselves as the new Israel,
sent out, like Father Abraham, to build a great Christian nation in
the wilderness:
Now
JEHOVAH had said unto Abram (Abraham), Get thee out of thy country,
and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that
I will shew thee:
And I will make of thee a great nation
(Hebrew: goy gadol), and I will bless thee, and make thy name
great; and thou shalt be a blessing. And I will bless them that bless
thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families
of the earth be blessed. (Genesis 12:1-3).
The
Pilgrim Fathers had very good reason for believing this because St.
Paul said:
And
the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations
(Gk: ethnos) through faith, preached before the gospel unto
Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations (Gk:
ethnos) be blessed. (Galatians 3:8).
Here
is a quote from a definitive history of New England by Cotton Mather
entitled: Magnalia Christi Americana: Or, The Ecclesiastical History
of New-England:
These
good people were now satisfied, they had as plain a command of Heaven
to attempt a removal, as ever their father Abraham had of his leaving
the Chaldean territories; and it was notheing but such a satisfaction
that could have carried them through such otherwise insuperable
difficulties as they met withal. (Mather, Magnalia
Christi Americana: Or, The Ecclesiastical History of New-England,
p. 48).
The
English colonists had to face a great howling wilderness made so by
the legacy of the GIANTS who fled
before the Old Testament Israel.
The
English colonists did not have to fight giants when they landed!!
Unlike
the Old Testament Israel . . . the New Testament Israel did not have
to fight giants when they landed
. . . because most of those monsters were extinct by that
time!!
The
giants that so terrified the Old Testament Israel, fled before the
sword of Joshua during the Conquest of Canaan (1500 B.C.), and found
a hiding place in the New World:
And
they (10 spies) brought up an evil report of the land which they
had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through
which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants
thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great
stature.
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the
giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we
were in their sight. (Numbers
13:32-33).
The
giants' legacy of extreme wickedness found expression in the "Wild
Indians" that inhabited the New World.
The
"Wild Indians" despised manual labor and lived for 3 things:
hunting, fighting, and gambling. A medicine man or witch doctor, with
an hereditary chief, ran each tribe.

The
giants that escaped from the sword of Joshua fled to the
New World.
Their
legacy of extreme wickedness found expression in the "Wild
Indians" that inhabited the continent.
The
hostiles—stirred up by the Jesuits—first went
on the warpath
in 1622, and they did not smoke the peace pipe until they
were finally subdued in 1890. |

Sitting Bull (1831-1890). |
Except
in Patagonia and the Pacific Northwest, most of the giants were extinct
by 1600. Here is an eyewitness report by "Buffalo Bill"
Cody, who actually saw a bone of one of the giants:
While
we were in the sand-hills, scouting the Niobrara country, the Pawnee
Indians brought into camp, one night, some very large bones, one of
which a surgeon of the expedition pronounced to be the thigh-bone
of a human being. The Indians claimed that the bones they found were
those of a person belonging to a race of people who a long time ago
lived in this country. That there was once a
race of men on the earth whose size was about three times that of
an ordinary man, and they were so swift and powerful that they could
run along-side of a buffalo, and taking the animal in one arm could
tear off a leg and eat the meat as they walked. These giants
denied the existence of a Great Spirit, and when they heard the thunder
or saw the lighting they laughed at it and said that they were greater
than either (Cody, Buffalo Bill's Life Story,
p. 266).
Most
of the bones of those giants are now hidden away in the basements
of natural history museums such as the Smithsonian in Washington City.
Working through Satan's demons, the "Wild Indian" witch
doctors tried to curse the Christians and prevent the establishment
of the new Israel . . . at any cost:
But
what a wonder was it that all the bloody savages far and near did
not cut off this little remnant! If he that once muzzled the lions
ready to devour the man of desires (Daniel), had not admirably,
I had almost said, miraculously restrained them, these had been
all devoured! but this people of God were come into a wilderness
to worship Him; and so He kept their enemies from such attempts,
as would otherwise have soon annihilated this poor handful of men,
thus far already diminished. They saw no Indians all the winter
long, but such as at the first sight always ran away; yea, they
quickly found, that God had so turned the hearts of these barbarians,
as more to fear, than to hate his people thus cast among them. This
blessed people was as a little flock of kids, while there were many
nations of Indians left still as kennels of wolves in every corner
of the country. And yet the little flock suffered no damage by those
rapid wolves! We may and should say, "This is the Lord's doing;
'tis marvellous in our eyes."
But among the many causes to be assigned for
it, one was this. It was afterwards by them confessed, that upon
the arrival of the English in these parts, the Indians employed
their sorcerers, whom they call powaws, like Balaam, to
curse them, and let loose their demons upon them, to shipwreck them,
to distract them, to poison them, or in any way to ruin them. All
the noted powaws in the country spent three days together
in diabolical conjuratians, to obtain the assistance of the devils
against the settlement of these our English; but the devils at length
acknowledged unto them, that they could not hinder those people
from their becoming the owners and masters of the country; whereupon
the Indians resolved upon a good correspondence with our new-comers;
and God convinced them that there was no enchantment or divination
against such a people. (Mather,
Magnalia Christi Americana: Or, The Ecclesiastical History of
New-England, pp. 54-55).
God
was with the little band of Christians and thwarted all the plans
of the devil to destroy them:
And
to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might
fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished
for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
(Revelation 12:14).
Aside
from the Spanish, the greatest threat to the new colonies came from
the French Jesuits, who were constantly arming the "Wild Indians,"
and attacking the settlements. That threat ended after the Seven Years'
War.

With
the help of the 13 colonies, the French were evicted from
the New World during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763).
This
left the "Wild Indians" and the Spanish blocking
their expansion to the Pacific Ocean.

From
sea to shining sea!!
The
borders of the United States of Israel were determined by JEHOVAH
from all eternity past. From 2 small beachheads by the eastern sea
to reach the western sea or Pacific Ocean in just over 200 years is
nothing short of miraculous.
The
western boundary of the first colony, Virginia, was actually the South
Sea or Pacific Ocean.
He
shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river (Hudson)
unto the ends of the earth. (Psalm 72:8).
And
the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and
from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border
unto the east sea. And this is the east
side. The west side also shall
be the great sea from the border, till
a man come over against Hamath. This is the west
side. (Ezekiel 47:18-20).
The
newly independent colonies were not expected to last very long. The
Continental Congress had 16 Presidents before George Washington was
elected in 1789.

George
Washington (1732-1799). President from 1789 to 1797.

A
confederation of 13 states as a republic was an experiment.
Only 2 small countries were republics at that time: Heroic Holland
and the Venetian Republic. Ancient Israel was a republic with their
leaders chosen from the people.
500
years after the establishment of Israel at the Exodus, the people
asked for a king and JEHOVAH was highly displeased with them:
I
gave thee a king (Saul) in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.
(Hosea 13:11).
The
next big expansion toward the western sea came with the Louisiana
Purchase of 1803.
The
Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States of Israel!!
By
1800, the infant United States Republic was struggling for survival
when a golden opportunity presented itself. Napoleon Bonaparte invaded
Spain and demanded that Spain hand back the Louisiana Territory to
France. In October 1800, Spain signed the
Treaty of San Ildefonso officially giving France title to Louisiana.
Napoleon
Bonaparte had plans to reestablish the French Empire in the New World.
He first needed to subdue a slave revolt in Haiti. François
Dominique Toussaint L'Ouverture was the hero of the slave insurrection
and thousands of French troops died trying to subdue the island.
The
British were also absolutely adverse to the restoration of France's
New World empire so Napoleon abandoned his plans and sold the Louisiana
Territory to the United States.
There
was no provision in the Constitution for acquiring new lands that
were not already states, so President Jefferson took a huge gamble
that Congress would approve the purchase.
President
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826). President
from 1801-1809. |
|
In
1803, President Jefferson bought the Louisiana Territory
from France for the sum of 15 million dollars (about
4 cents an acre).
It
miraculously DOUBLED the size of the United States of
Israel.

Jackson saved the United States of Israel!!
General
Jackson was God's instrument in saving the United States of Israel
from a huge British invasion armada.
Spain
. . . and England . . . were furious when they found out
that Napoleon had sold the vast territory to the U.S. Spain could
do nothing militarily, but England had the most powerful navy in the
world.
In 1812, war broke out between Great Britain and the U.S. The eastern
seaboard of the U.S. was invaded and Washington City was burned to
the ground. This was just a diversionary tactic or feint
as the main blow was aimed at NEW ORLEANS—the key to the Louisiana
Territory.
General
Jackson (1767-1845). President from 1829-1837.

By
December 12, 1814, a huge British armada, under the
command of Sir Alexander Cochrane, with more than 10,000
soldiers and sailors aboard had anchored in the Gulf
of Mexico east of Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne.
This
huge armada's mission was to seize the Louisiana Territory
and hand it back to the Spanish Inquisition!!

The
Battle of New Orleans on January 8, 1815.

The
British were actually fighting for the Spanish—their deadly
enemy....Here
is a quote from Jackson historian Augustus C. Buell:
The
British plan of subjugation was complete. Soon after the battle
it was learned that General Pakenham had a proclamation written,
signed and ready to be promulgated the moment his army should
enter the city. This proclamation denied the right of Napoleon
to sell Louisiana, denounced the pretensions of the United States
to its sovereignty, declared that Spain, the rightful possessor,
was incapable of maintaining her territorial rights and, finally,
asserted a provisional occupation by the British forces as a
virtual protectorate in behalf of the Spanish crown. The night
after the battle this proclamation was burned. It may have been
used to illuminate the scene where the corpse of its author
was being prepared for shipment to England in a cask of rum.
(Buell, History of Andrew Jackson, Vol, II, pp. 80-81).
From the tiny
beachhead in 1607, God had miraculously preserved his chosen people
for over 200 years.
The
Mexican-U.S War of 1845
Following the
example of the United States, many of the Spanish colonies in the
New World declared independence from Spain. Mexico did so in 1821.
However, Mexico
then laid claim to the former Spanish empire west of the Mississippi.
1822 Mexican
empire.
|
|
When
Mexico declared independence from Spain in 1821, she
also laid claim to the defunct Spanish empire.
This
Spanish empire was based solely on the 1493 Papal Bull
of Pope Alexander
VI.
That
put Mexico on a collision course with the United States.

When
the Old Testament Israel was conquering their Promised Land, 7 wicked
heathen nations occupied the territory. JEHOVAH told the Israelites
to drive them out with the sword....Pagan historians probably accused
them of STEALING the Promised Land.
However,
the whole earth belongs to JEHOVAH and he gives it to whoever He wills:
Till
you know (Mexico) that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men,
and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
(Daniel 4:25).
When
the war was over an astonished world beheld the United States as a vast
continental empire of liberty and the despots of Europe trembled
for their thrones.
Many
of the military leaders on both sides of the U.S. Civil War had fought
as junior officers in Mexico, including Ulysses S. Grant, George B.
McClellan, Ambrose Burnside, Stonewall Jackson, James Longstreet, George
Meade, Robert E. Lee, and the future Confederate President Jefferson
Davis.
President
Lincoln saved the United States of Israel
After
1848, the new Israel spanned a continent and was in possession of the
best land in the world. The devil's former exclusive territory was now
planted with the vine of the new Israel.
The
young Republic was greater in extent than the Roman Empire at the height
of its power.
It
was then that the issue of slavery threatened to undo the work of God
and tear the nation apart.
God
is never taken by surprise and he had his man of the hour to end slavery
and save the Union.
President
Lincoln (1819-1865).
President from 1861 to 1865.

The
conflict known as the "U.S." Civil War was an
international plot to destroy the United States.

intervention.

God
wrought mightily through his servant Father Abraham to foil all the
plots of wicked men and save the Union....From that time onward, there
was no more need for standing armies . . . or for the United States
to ever go to war again.
President
Lincoln spoke of his assassination to French-Canadian ex-priest Charles
Chiniquy:
You
are not the first to warn me against the dangers of assassination.
My ambassadors in Italy, France, and England, as well as Professor
Morse, have many times warned me against the plots of the murderers
which they have detected in those different countries. But I see no
other safeguard against those murderers but to be always ready to
die, as Christ advises it. As we must all die sooner or later, it
makes very little difference to me whether I die from a dagger plunged
through my heart or from an inflammation of the lungs. Let me tell
you I have lately read a passage in the Old Testament which had made
a profound, and, I hope, a salutary impression on me. Here is that
passage."
The president took his Bible, opened it at the third chapter of Deuteronomy,
and read from the 22nd to the 28th verse:
"Ye shall not fear them: for the Lord your God He shall fight
for you. And I besought the Lord at that time, saying, O Lord God,
Thou hast begun to shew Thy servant Thy greatness and Thy mighty hand;
for what God is there, in heaven or in earth, that can do according
to Thy words, and according to Thy might! I pray Thee, let me go over,
and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain,
and Lebanon. But the Lord was wroth with me for your sakes, and would
not hear me: and the Lord said unto me, Let it suffice thee: speak
no more unto Me of this matter. Get thee up into the top of Pisgah,
and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and
eastward, and behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over
this Jordan."
After the President had read these words with great solemnity, he
added: "My dear Father Chiniquy, let me tell you that I have
read these strange and beautiful verses several times these last five
or six weeks. The more I read them, the more it seems to me that God
has written them for me as well as Moses. Has
He not taken me from my poor log cabin by the hand, as He did Moses
in the reeds of the Nile, to put me at the head of the greatest and
the most blessed of modern nations, just as He put that prophet at
the head of the most blessed nation of ancient times? Has not
God granted me a privilege which was not granted to any living man,
when I broke the fetters of 4,000,000 of men and made them free? Has
not our God given me the most glorious victories over our enemies?
Are not the armies of the Confederacy so reduced to a handful of men
when compared to what they were two years ago, that the day is fast
approaching when they will have to surrender?
"Now, I see the end of this terrible conflict, with the same
joy of Moses at the end of his forty years in the wilderness. I pray
my God to grant me to see the days of peace, and untold prosperity,
which will follow this cruel war, as Moses asked God to see the other
side of Jordan and enter the Promised Land. But do you know that I
hear in my soul, as the voice of God, giving me the rebuke which was
given to Moses?" (Chiniquy,
Fifty Years in the Church of Rome, pp. 706-707).
Abraham
Lincoln was indeed a latter day Moses, as he liberated millions of slaves,
and led his nation to the promised land of peace and prosperity.
Gog
and Magog to invade the United States of Israel before the end of time!!
St.
Paul said that ALL the events that happened in the Old Testament were
written in order to instruct the Christians who lived during the last
days:
Now
all these things (in the Old Testament) happened unto them for examples:
and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the
world are come. (I
Corinthians 10:11).
The
Old Testament book of Ezekiel describes a vast invasion of restored
Israel just before the end of time.
And
the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Son of man, set thy face against Gog,
the land of Magog, the chief prince of
Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog,
the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will
bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of
them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers
and shields, all of them handling swords. (Ezekiel
38: 1-4).
This
invasion was to take place during a time of peace and security:
And
thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will
go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling
without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate
places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered
out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell
in the midst of the land. (Ezekiel 38:11-12).
Since
the United States of Israel cannot be invaded by force from any country,
this invasion must refer to the VAST host that is entering the U.S.
through legal and ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

According
to the Vatican, EVERYBODY who came here without getting a license from
Ferdinand and Isabella . . . and their successors . . . are ILLEGAL
immigrants.
Since
1970, at least 40 million Mexicans have entered the U.S. Most of them
want to reclaim lands that they say the U.S. "STOLE" from
them after the Mexican-U.S. War.
Immigration
to the U.S. is also greatly facilitated by the Pentagon whose wars cause
a vast number of refugees from foreign countries to seek asylum in the
United States!.
The
invasion turns out to be a disaster as Christ's Second Coming puts and
end to all attempts to destroy the Israel of God:
And
I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith
the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother. And
I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will
rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are
with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
(Ezekiel 38:21-22).
And
there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about
the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague
of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. (Revelation
16:21).
The
Bible is the Sword of the Spirit
JEHOVAH
said that HE would be the defense of the United States of Israel . .
. so what need then for the Pentagon:
Behold,
he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.(Psalm
121:4).
The
Bible is the Sword of the Spirit and the ONLY weapon we need to be victorious
over all of Satan's last days' lies:.
St. Paul said:
For
the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged
sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and
of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents
of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12).
The Bible was
written in Hebrew and Greek, and without correct translations, Satan
can build false interpretations of Scripture.
The Sword
of the Spirit.
|
|
The
Sword of the Spirit
which is the Word of
God. (Eph.
6:17).
False
doctrines, erroneous translation of words, and erroneous
interpretations can turn our sharp sword into a BUTTER
KNIFE! |
|
|
The Word
is our sword.
|
False
teachings can be deadly and nullify the power of the Word of God.....
One of the greatest Latin Church errors is the myth of St.
Peter at Rome.
Another
grave error is the myth that God's "chosen people" are a bunch
of Christ-denying Khazars in the Mideast.
The
New Testament says NOTHING about "Jews" setting up a homeland
in Palestine before the end of time. As a matter of fact, Jesus said
that Jerusalem would be trodden down by the NATIONS until the end of
the world:
And
they (Jews) shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led
away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem
shall be trodden down by the NATIONS,
until the times of the NATIONS be fulfilled.
(Luke 21:24).
There
is no such word as GENTILE in the Hebrew or Greek Bible... Gentile comes
from the Latin GENS meaning a Roman family or tribe....That
word found its way into the English, French, and Spanish Bibles by way
of the corrupt Latin Vulgate version.
The
Hebrew word for nation is goy (plural goyim). The
Greek word for nations is ETHNOS and is wrongly translated as Gentiles
in the English New Testament.
In
the Old Testament, there are many prophecies of a Messiah who would
be a descendent of King David, and who would reign over the House of
Israel forever:
And
when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers,
I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy
bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
He shall
build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his
kingdom for ever.(II
Samuel 7:12-13).
JEHOVAH
hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit
of thy body will I set upon thy throne. (Psalm 132:11).
According
to St. Peter, all the prophecies about the Messiah reigning from the
throne of David were fulfilled by the RESURRECTION of Christ from the
dead and His exaltation to the throne of the UNIVERSE!!
Men
and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David,
that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto
this day.
Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that
God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins,
according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his
soul was not left in hell (Hades), neither his flesh did see corruption.
This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received
of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this,
which ye now see and hear. (Acts
2:29-33).
In
the Book of Malachi, JEHOVAH promised to send Elijah the Prophet before
the coming of the Messiah:
Behold,
I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great
and dreadful day of JEHOVAH: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers
to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest
I come and smite the earth with a curse. (Malachi 4:5-6).
And
his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah
must first come?
And
he answered and said, Elijah indeed cometh, and shall restore all
things:
but I say into you, that Elijah is come already, and they knew him
not, but did unto him whatsoever they would. Even so shall the Son
of man also suffer of them.
Then understood the disciples that he spake unto them of John the
Baptist. (Matthew 17:10-10.)
John
the Baptist was not Elijah . . . but he came in the spirit and power
of Elijah . . . and thus fulfilled that prophecy perfectly.
The
Jews were looking for a reincarnated Elijah . . . so their carnal misinterpretation
of Scripture . . . caused them to reject the true Messiah!
Jesus
the Son of God told the Jews that they would have to eat his flesh and
drink his blood:
Then
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat
the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life
in you. (John 6:53).
Right
away the Jews interpreted his words in a CARNAL EARTHLY sense . . .
and stopped following Him . . . because they thought that he was talking
about the literal eating of flesh or CANNABALISM!
When
the unbelieving Jews were gone, Jesus explained His true meaning to
his disciples:
It
is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words
that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. (John
6:63).
St.
Paul also summed up the whole principle of sound Biblical hermeneutics
when he said:
Howbeit
that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then
that which is spiritual.
(I Corinthians 15:46).
