One of the questions oft asked in alternative news circles is why, if elements within the U.S. government intend to collapse our economy and implement martial, no one within these circles has spoken out. The fact is that scores of people have made it their duty to alert the American people to what’s going on behind the scenes. They’ve told us of the corruption and backroom deals. They’ve given us the warning signs to look for, many of which have already come to pass. They’veeven made us aware of the government’s response should the worst come to pass. Detractors often dismiss the warnings and insider reports as bogus, often claiming that if the sources are anonymous they can’t be legitimate. But do we blame them for taking extreme steps to protect their identities? Edward Snowden and Bradley Manning showed their faces, and now they will spend their lives as targets. Given what happened to these whistle blowers, is it any surprise that others with insider knowledge refuse to speak out in an official capacity?

My King ♛ Yeshua ♛ Ha'Mashiach [ya] "That's My King"
Contributed by Bruce Timpany
My King was born King. The Bible says He's a Seven Way King. He's the King of the Jews - that's an Ethnic King. He's the King of Israel - that's a National King. He's the King of righteousness. He's the King of the ages. He's the King of Heaven. He's the King of glory. He's the King of kings and He is the Lord of lords. Now that's my King.
He's enduringly strong. He's entirely sincere. He's eternally steadfast. He's immortally graceful. He's imperially powerful. He's impartially merciful. That's my King. He's God's Son. He's the sinner's saviour. He's the centerpiece of civilization. He stands alone in Himself. He's honest. He's unique. He's unparalleled. He's unprecedented. He's supreme. He's pre-eminent. He's the grandest idea in literature. He's the highest personality in philosophy. He's the supreme problem in higher criticism. He's the fundamental doctrine of historic theology. He's the carnal necessity of spiritual religion. That's my King.
He's the miracle of the age. He's the superlative of everything good that you choose to call Him. He's the only one able to supply all our needs simultaneously. He supplies strength for the weak. He's available for the tempted and the tried. He sympathizes and He saves. He's the Almighty God who guides and keeps all his people. He heals the sick. He cleanses the lepers. He forgives sinners. He discharged debtors. He delivers the captives. He defends the feeble. He blesses the young. He serves the unfortunate. He regards the aged. He rewards the diligent and He beautifies the meek. That's my King.
Do you know Him? Well, my King is a King of knowledge. He's the wellspring of wisdom. He's the doorway of deliverance. He's the pathway of peace. He's the roadway of righteousness. He's the highway of holiness. He's the gateway of glory. He's the master of the mighty. He's the captain of the conquerors. He's the head of the heroes. He's the leader of the legislatures. He's the overseer of the overcomers. He's the governor of governors. He's the prince of princes. He's the King of kings and He's the Lord of lords. That's my King.
His office is manifold. His promise is sure. His light is matchless. His goodness is limitless. His mercy is everlasting. His love never changes. His Word is enough. His grace is sufficient. His reign is righteous. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. I wish I could describe Him to you . . . but He's indescribable. That's my King. He's incomprehensible, He's invincible, and He is irresistible.
I'm coming to tell you this, that the heavens of heavens can't contain Him, let alone some man explain Him. You can't get Him out of your mind. You can't get Him off of your hands. You can't outlive Him and you can't live without Him. The Pharisees couldn't stand Him, but they found out they couldn't stop Him. Pilate couldn't find any fault in Him. The witnesses couldn't get their testimonies to agree about Him. Herod couldn't kill Him. Death couldn't handle Him and the grave couldn't hold Him. That's my King.
He always has been and He always will be. I'm talking about the fact that He had no predecessor and He'll have no successor. There's nobody before Him and there'll be nobody after Him. You can't impeach Him and He's not going to resign. That's my King! That's my King!
Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory. Well, all the power belongs to my King. We're around here talking about black power and white power and green power, but in the end all that matters is God's power. Thine is the power. Yeah. And the glory. We try to get prestige and honor and glory for ourselves, but the glory is all His. Yes. Thine is the Kingdom and the power and glory, forever and ever and ever and ever. How long is that? Forever and ever and ever and ever. . . And when you get through with all of the ever's, then . . .Amen!
The late Dr. S. M. Lockeridge, a pastor from San Diego, California
said these words in a sermon in Detroit in 1976:

Fossilized Traditions

{{{ One can nullify the commandments of God through his/her fossilized traditions of the churches }}} (Matthew 15:9) Yeshua rebukes the religious leaders for their hypocrisy in their so-called worship of God. He charges them with worship that is vain through the commandments of men:“They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men”{{{ Mark 7:6-8 }}} He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.7 And in vain they worship Me,Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’8 For laying aside the Commandment of God, you hold the tradition of menhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t08r4aMuOUE

{{{ Dear Friends and Fellow Servants }}}
by Bruce Timpany
We are living in extraordinary times. Today, just as in the days of Isaiah, truth is fallen in the street; and judgment is turned away backward. On every front the truths of scripture are arrogantly disparaged while the wisdom of man is exalted and received as authoritative, and without question.Today Contemporary Christianity has not only allowed truth to fall, but it has thrown truth in the street as a gesture of religious tolerance and compromise. It has given the adversaries of scripture exactly what they need to substantiate their claims that what most present as Christianity is nothing more than redefined pagan mythology. Educated theologians know that; yet they continue to present a compromised gospel filled with pagan tradition that never had anything to do with Yeshua . There has never been a more important time in the history of mankind for those called out as servants of our Creator to confront the philosophy and vain deceit that would lead people away from our Savior.

Judgment is Coming
If there is one thing the Bible is clear about it is this. One day, God is going to put an end to all the evil and suffering that goes on in our world. One day, He will judge this wicked and rebellious planet and make all things new. He did it once with a worldwide flood and Hes going to do it again with a worldwide fire. Thus, you would think people would conclude, Hey man, I better get right with God so I dont suffer the Judgment of God. Yet the Bible records the sad news of how the people in the last days would actually choose to be scoffers instead of taking God up on His offer to be rescued before its too late. Therefore, this series A Judged Creation, seeks to encourage these scoffing people to become smarter people by looking at the scientific and geological evidences of Gods first judgment, the Flood of Noah. Here you will discover such evidences as a Global Catastrophe, a Great Fossilization, a God-inspired Deluge, a Grand Uprising, a Galloping Runoff, a Gargantuan Boat, a Glorious Civilization, and Giant Life Forms. People, God really did judge this world once, and Hes going to do it again. Time is running out and the rains going to be here before you know it. Please, dont be like the scoffers of Noahs day. Discover the evidences of A Judged Creation and enter the ark of Yeshua before its too late!http://www.youtube.com/

Benefits Cut
A few weeks ago we saw what happens when the Electronic Benefit Transfer system is threatened in any way. When access to food stamps went offline for just a few hours, the masses began to panic in what were essentially isolated hot spots where law & order totally broke down.
This Friday, because of guidelines set forth in the American and Recovery Investment Act, the 48 million Americans receiving nutritional food assistance from the government are going to see cuts to their monthly distributions.
According to the USDA, the average monthly food benefit for an American family is about $272. Come November 1st, that will be reduced by $36 – or about 13%.
Now, that may not seem like a big number, until you consider that the people depending on these distributions are already struggling to put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads.
The government is, in essence, reducing their food availability by 13% overnight.
Most people aren’t even paying attention, but one organization certainly is, because they know exactly what can happen when you start taking food out of peoples’ mouths.

The End of Days

Wars will increase. Seismic activity (earthquakes and volcanoes) Fires will be worse. Famines and pestilences will be more prevalent. Fearful events and great signs from the heavens could include disastrous weather, modern threats, like asteroids, space junk, solar flares, Historic TornadosThere will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven (NIV Luke 21:9-11).
For nation [ethnos] shall rise against nation, and kingdom [basileia] against kingdom: and there shall be famines [limos], and pestilences [loimos], and earthquakes [seismos], in divers places. All these are the beginning of birth pains (Matthew 24:7-8).
Below are the Greek words that form Christ's list of things.
ethnos: G1484 - nation - ethnic group, as in tribal or civil war

limos: G3042 - famines
loimos: G3061 - pestilences
seismos: G4578 - a shaking to and fro of air, land or sea.
Air: gales, hurricanes, tornados, typhoons or cyclones.

Know What You are Celebrating and Why!
by Bruce Timpany
Deuteronomy/12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.12:31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods.
Over the last two millennia, traditional Christianity has systematically laid aside the "feast days of the Lord" and established its own holidays. Christmas was established to enable pagan converts to come into church fellowship without forsaking their heathen customs and practices. Easter is a replacement for the biblical Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread.
Even the weekly Sabbath was abandoned in favor of Sunday, the pagan day of the sun, supposedly to commemorate Jesus' resurrection , it took place not on Sunday morning but at the end of the weekly Sabbath at sunset Saturday).
Although we should immediately recognize that overruling God's instructions is dangerous behavior, let's consider, from the biblical record, whether such inventions and alterations are acceptable worship to our Creator God.https://www.facebook.com/.../10150731482810453

The Sabbath in the New Testament

JOHN
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him.
~THE Sabbath IN THE NEW TESTAMENT~
Chapter IX
Questions About the Sabbath in the New Testament
by
Does not Paul clearly teach that Christ "abolished in his flesh the law of commandments" (Eph 2:15) and consequently believers "are discharged from the law" (Rom 7:6)? Does not this mean that a person who accepts Christ is released from the obligation of observing the law?
ANSWER:
A Double Concept. This question, like the previous one, ignores the fact that Paul speaks about the law both positively and negatively. He says not only that Christ "abolished" the law (Eph 2:15), but also that He "establishes" it (Rom 3:31); not only that "we are discharged from the law" (Rom 7:6) about also that "the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good" (Rom 7:12); not only that "a man is justified by faith apart from the law" (Rom 3:28) but also that "neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of God" (1 Cor 7:19).
Different Contexts. The proposal I have submitted and discussed in chapter VI is that Paul's contradictory statements about the law can be explained by recognizing the different contexts in which Paul speaks of the law. When he speaks of the law in the context of salvation (justification—right standing before God), he clearly affirms that law-keeping is of no avail (Rom 3:20). On the other hand, when Paul speaks of the law in the context of Christian conduct (sanctification—right living before God), then he maintains the value and validity of God's law (Rom 7:12; 13:8-10; 1 Cor 7:19). For example, when Paul speaks of the various forms of human wickedness in 1 Timothy 1:8-10, he explicitly affirms "now we know that the law is good" (v. 8).
Three times Paul states: "neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision" and each time he concludes this statement with a different phrase: "but keeping the commandments of God . . .but faith working through love . . . but a new creation" (1 Cor 7:19; Gal 5:6; 6:15). The parallelism suggests that Paul equates the keeping of God's commandments with a working faith and a new life in Christ. The very purpose of Christ's coming, Paul explains, is so that "the just requirements of the law might be fulfilled in us" through the dynamic power of His Spirit (Rom 8:4).
The Christian, then, according to Paul, is not under law as a means of salvation, but is under the law as a revelation of God's ethical standards for his life, because Christ has abolished the law as a method of salvation but has established it as a standard for Christian conduct.
The above piece from a biblical scholar shows that "law" is important to any true Christian. Keep in mind that oftentimes, when Paul and others are referring to the "law," they are talking about the sacrificial laws that Christ's sacrifice did away with, but NOT the spiritual laws of God... i.e. commandments and spiritual principles.
Scriptures that clearly show that God's law is active and vital for salvation:
Matt 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say to you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Matt 19:17 And he said to him, Why callest you me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if you wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Matt 22:37 Jesus said to him, you shalt love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like to it, you shalt love your neighbour as yourself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Luke 16:17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
John 7:19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go youabout to kill me?
Acts 21:24 Them take, and purify yourself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning you, are nothing; but that you yourself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
Acts 24:14 But this I confess to you, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
Rom 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 13(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified
Rom 2:23 you that makest your boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest you God?
Rom 2:25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if you keep the law: but if you be a breaker of the law, your circumcision is made uncircumcision. 26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Rom 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. 16 Know younot, that to whom youyield yourselves servants to obey, his servants youare to whom youobey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness? 17 But God be thanked, that youwere the servants of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
Rom 7:12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
Rom 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Rom 7:16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent to the law that it is good.
Rom 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
If the Law of God has been "nailed to the cross," why does God tell us clearly that when Christ returns to this Earth to rule, that SAME law will go forth to the rest of the world?
Isa 2:3 Many people shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths." For out of Zion (Jerusalem) shall go forth the law, And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 4 He shall judge between the nations, And rebuke many people;
Mic 42 Many nations shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths." For out of Zion the law shall go forth, And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 3 He shall judge between many peoples, And rebuke strong nations afar off;
God repeats this twice for us and tells us that His Holy law, which is active today, will continue after Christ returns, and will go out and be the rule by which the nations are judged and corrected. Today, we would do well to realize that if Christ's death truly "did away with God's laws," then why would they be back, and going out to the physical people and nations after Christ's return?
God's law is a reflection of His mind and character, as it is of Christ. We are to be conformed, BY obeying God's LAW, and with God's spirit working in us, into the very image and character of Christ. The law of God stands now and will abide forever (in reflection of action and thought) because God abides forever, and God's law simply reflects His mind!

YHWH's Holy Days or Holidays
by Bruce Timpany
{{ Dear Friends and Fellow Servants }}}We are living in extraordinary times. Today, just as in the days of Isaiah, truth is fallen in the street; and judgment is turned away backward. On every front the truths of scripture are arrogantly disparaged while the wisdom and pagan customs of man is exalted and received as authoritative, and without question. We have a choice. We can choose the feast days instituted by YHWH or the holidays substituted by men. The choices we make affect our destiny and impact our relationship with our Creator.
'These are the feasts of the Lord, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times.
The first four of the Seven Feasts of the Lord have already been fulfilled. They were fulfilled in spectacular fashion. They were fulfilled right on the auspicious Hebrew calendar dates on which they have been celebrated in times past, the same dates that will be celebrated forever more. The three spring feasts were fulfilled by Jesus our Saviour. And the summer Feast of Pentecost was fulfilled as well. It was fulfilled by the Holy Spirit 2,000 years ago. Here is the situation so far.
SPRING FEASTS
1. Passover Fulfilled! (By Jesus/Yeshua at His crucifixion on Nisan 14 in the spring of 32 A.D.)
2. Feast of Unleavened Bread Fulfilled! (By Jesus/Yeshua at His burial in the tomb on Nisan 15 in the spring of 32 A.D.)
3. Feast of Firstfruits Fulfilled! (By Jesus/Yeshua at His Resurrection on Nisan 17 in the spring of 32 A.D.)
4. Feast of Pentecost Fulfilled! (By the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost on Sivan 7 in the summer of 32 A.D.)- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (A gap of 2000 years or so has allowed the Light of Israel to . go forth into the nations for the Gentiles to be evangelized- - - - - - - - WE ARE HERE - - - - - - - - - Now here come the Fall Feasts. They are just up ahead.
FALL FEASTS
5. The Feast of Trumpets Unfulfilled ....(as of yet).
6. The Day of Atonement Unfulfilled ....(as of yet).
7. The Feast of TabernaclesUnfulfilled ....(as of yet). Tishrei 15 will come five days after that final epic Day of Atonement. This will mark the coming of Messiah to tabernacle with His covenant people. Thus begins the long awaited 1000 year Millennium of Messiah.
Deuteronomy/12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.12:31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods.

Christmas was established to enable pagan converts to come into church fellowship without forsaking their heathen customs and practices. Easter is a replacement for the biblical Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread.
Even the weekly Sabbath was abandoned in favor of Sunday, the pagan day of the sun, supposedly to commemorate Jesus' resurrection , it took place not on Sunday morning but at the end of the weekly Sabbath at sunset Saturday).
Although we should immediately recognize that overruling God's instructions is dangerous behavior, let's consider, from the biblical record, whether such inventions and alterations are acceptable worship to our Creator God.
Changing God's instructions
When God began working with the ancient Israelites, He intended they set an example of obedience to Him for the nations around them (Deuteronomy 4:1, 6-8). They were to be a model nation, showing other peoples that God's way of life produces abundant blessings. Their experiences serve as continuing examples for us (1 Corinthians 10:1-11).
During their years in Egypt, the Israelites were exposed to Egyptian culture and worship. Notice whatUnger's Bible Dictionary says about this culture: "The Egyptian religion was an utterly bewildering polytheistic conglomeration in which many deities of the earliest periods, when each town had its own deity, were retained …
"Every object beheld, every phenomenon of nature, was thought to be indwelt by a spirit which could choose its own form, occupying the body of a crocodile, a fish, a cow, a cat, etc. Hence the Egyptians had numerous holy animals, principally the bull, the cow, the cat, the baboon, the jackal, and the crocodile" (1966, p. 291, "Egypt").
Shortly after miraculously delivering the Israelites from their bondage in Egypt, God instructed them how He wanted to be worshipped. He gave them His commandments (Exodus 20), along with statutes and judgments detailing how to apply them (Exodus 21-22). God revealed His feast days (Exodus 23:14-17; Leviticus 23) and gave directions regarding a priesthood, tabernacle and offerings (Exodus 25-31). God told Moses to climb Mount Sinai and gave him two tablets of stone engraved with the Ten Commandments (Exodus 24:12; 31:18).
When Moses didn't come down from Mount Sinai for some time (Exodus 32:1), the people prodded his brother Aaron into fashioning an idol for them to worship. They essentially mixed the Egyptian form of worship with the instructions they had just received from God. The practice of blending religious beliefs and practices is known as syncretism.
After creating a golden image of a calf, Aaron proclaimed the next day a holiday—"a feast to the Lord" (verses 4-5). They then "rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings. Afterward they sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry" (verse 6, NIV). This celebration combined God's instruction with Egyptian religious practice and tradition.
We are not told why the Israelites chose this mix of worship. Perhaps they thought it was not a good idea to abandon all the familiar forms of worship at once and they simply practiced what they were accustomed to from their years immersed in Egyptian culture. Whatever their thinking, God was not pleased. He told Moses: "Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt, have become corrupt. They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them" (verses 7-8, NIV).
God shows from His Word that He expects more from those who claim to follow Him. He wants people to worship Him "in spirit and truth" (John 4:23-24)—not with corrupted, vile practices rooted in the worship of other gods.
Consequences of futile worship
The Israelites were in no way justified in departing from the God-ordained instructions introduced in the wilderness. God was so angered by their actions that He was ready to destroy the nation (Exodus 32:10). Only on Moses' pleadings did God relent and spare them (verses 11-14).
Ancient Israel's experiment with combining parts of God's instruction with pagan customs and elements was a disaster. In punishment for this sin, 3,000 men lost their lives (verses 27-28). Those who weren't killed had to drink water polluted with the ground-up idol, pulverized into powder (verse 20).
Being presumptuous—taking unauthorized liberty to do things such as altering God's instructions for worship—is sinful. The Bible describes the Israelites' actions as "a great sin" (verses 21, 30, 31). God's law is clear concerning presumptuous behavior (Numbers 15:30-31).
The principle holds true today among God's people. Once we come to understand His truth, we have an obligation to take steps to obey Him. We recognize that the instruction and examples in His Word were recorded for our spiritual instruction and benefit (1 Corinthians 10:6, 11; Romans 15:4

The Israelites were in no way justified in departing from the God-ordained instructions introduced in the wilderness. God was so angered by their actions that He was ready to destroy the nation (Exodus 32:10). Only on Moses' pleadings did God relent and spare them (verses 11-14).
Ancient Israel's experiment with combining parts of God's instruction with pagan customs and elements was a disaster. In punishment for this sin, 3,000 men lost their lives (verses 27-28). Those who weren't killed had to drink water polluted with the ground-up idol, pulverized into powder (verse 20).
Being presumptuous—taking unauthorized liberty to do things such as altering God's instructions for worship—is sinful. The Bible describes the Israelites' actions as "a great sin" (verses 21, 30, 31). God's law is clear concerning presumptuous behavior (Numbers 15:30-31).
The principle holds true today among God's people. Once we come to understand His truth, we have an obligation to take steps to obey Him. We recognize that the instruction and examples in His Word were recorded for our spiritual instruction and benefit (1 Corinthians 10:6, 11; Romans 15:4

The Bible Says
Contributed by Bruce Timpany
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
-- Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Idolatry is Never Acceptable
by Bruce Timpany
OBELISKS, TEMPLES, AND TOWERS Symbols of "SUN (Baal) Worship" AMONG THE ANCIENT nations, not only were statues of the gods and goddesses in human form made, other objects with a hidden or mystery meaning, such as obelisks, were a part of heathen Worship. Diodorus spoke of an obelisk 130 feet high that was erected by queen Semiramis in Babylon. The Bible mentions an obelisk--type image approximately nine feet in breadth and ninety feet high: The people...fell down and Worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up" Babylon (Dan. 3:1-7). But it was in Egypt (an early stronghold of the mystery religion) that the use of the obelisk was best known. Many of these obelisks are still in Egypt, but some have been removed to other nations-one is in Central Park in New York, another in London, while others were transported to Rome.
Originally, the obelisk was associated with SUN Worship, The ancients, having rejected the knowledge of the true creator---seeing that the SUN gave life to plants and to man, looked upon the SUN as a god, the great life giver. To them, upright objects such as the obelisk also had a sexual significance. Realizing that through sexual union life was produced, the phallus was considered (along with the SUN) a symbol of life. These were beliefs represented by the obelisk.
The largest upright phallus of the SUN in the world is the George Washington monument in Washington D.C., the capital city of the United States of America. Its dimension at its base is 55.5 ft. wide by 55.5 ft.long, with a height 555 ft high. Guess what the sum total is, when you add up those three Dimensions?
The word "images" in the Bible is translated from several different Hebrew words. One of these words, matzebah means "standing images" or obelisks ( 1 Kings 14: 23; 2 Kings 18 :4: 23:14; Jer. 43:13: Micah 5: 13). Another word is hammanim which means "SUN images," images dedicated to the SUN obelisks (Isaiah 17:8; 27:9).
In order for the obelisks to carry out their intended symbolism, they were placed upright--erect. Thus they pointed up--toward the SUN. As a symbol of the phallus, the erect position also had an obvious significance. Bearing this mind, it is interesting to notice that when divine judgment was pronounced against this false Worship, it was said that these images (obelisks) "shall not stand, up," but would be cast down (Isaiah 27:9).http://granddesignexposed.com/babylon/towers.html

The book is Revelation
by Bruce Timpany
The Time Is Soon, The judgment of course is, The Great Tribulation.
WE ARE FAST APPROACHING THE GREAT TRIBULATION WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE.{{{>}}}: 2“This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Write in a book all the words I have spoken to you. 3 The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will bring my people Israel and Judah back from captivity and restore them to the land I gave their forefathers to possess,’ says the Lord.”4 These are the words the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah: 5“This is what the Lord says:“‘Cries of fear are heard—terror, not peace. 6 Ask and see:Can a man bear children?Then why do I see every strong man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor,every face turned deathly pale? 7 How awful that day will be!None will be like it.It will be a time of trouble for Jacob,but he will be saved out of it.8“‘In that day,’ declares the Lord Almighty, {{{>}}}For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be.{{{ Revelation 2:22 }}} Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works . {{{>}}}While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. At last! Peace and safety! Peace and safety! Yet, like birth pains on a pregnant woman, instantly their so-called utopia turned into a living nightmare! As sudden as the peace began, so it ended. The next thing you know, all hell broke loose on earth. Instantly across the world, men began to literally slaughter one another, which led to a global food shortage where one days wages could barely provide for one person. As a result, 1/4th of the earth died either by sword, famine, plague, or an onslaught of wild ravenous beasts. Those who survived this first wave of destruction only wished they hadn’t for the next thing they know 1/3rd of the earth burned up, 1/3rd of the trees burned up and all the green grass being burned up. Then 1/3rd of seas turn to blood, 1/3rd of sea creatures died, 1/3rd of the fresh water became bitter and 1/3rd of the sun, moon and stars darkened causing MANY more people to die. Just when they thought is couldn’t get any worse, those who were still alive looked into the sky only to see a vulture-like creature flying through the sky announcing the beginning of horrible time like never before. Suddenly, a 5-month invasion of evil wicked demons who tormented the inhabitants of the earth with a pain so bad they wanted to die but couldn’t. But this was only a prelude of what was to come. Wicked demons who were bound for millennia were now unleashed to set loose a hellish army of 200 million demonic soldiers that killed another 1/3rdof mankind by having fire, smoke, and highly flammable brimstone gushed upon them like a river! 2The survivors moaned in utter despair, ‘Surely, surely this is the last of it,’ only to discover to their horror that they haven’t seen anything yet! Instantly, ugly and painful sores broke out on the people of the world causing pain inside and out. Then the whole sea turned into blood like that of a dead man, and every living thing in the sea died.Next, the rivers and springs became blood while the sun intensified like never before scorching people with an unbelievably searing fire. Men gnawed their tongues in agony and cursed because of their pain. Then an earthquake rattled the planet like had never occurred since man’s existence where the cities of the nations totally collapsed, every island fled away and the mountains could not be found. This was followed by huge hundred pound hailstones falling out of the sky crushing people like bugs on a windshield. Then amazingly, the final inhabitants of the earth gathered together for one last battle whereupon they were instantly annihilated with the blood of their carcasses rising up as high as a horse’s bridle with the birds of the air gorging themselves on their flesh. The book is Revelation. The judgment of course is, The Great Tribulation.”.ஜ۩۞۩ஜRevelation 8/10ஜ۩۞۩ஜ}}}The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water 11the name of the star is Wormwood AS THE SECOND SUN -WORMWOOD- MOVES CLOSE, THE EARTH CRUST WILL RIP APART BY THE MASSIVE GRAVITATIONAL PULL IT HAS, LIKE A WOMAN IN LABOUR, THE CONTRACTIONS ON EARTH WILL GET WORSE AND WORSE TELL THE BIG EVENT IN-ஜ۩۞۩ஜIsaiah 24:19ஜ۩۞۩ஜ The earth is broken up,the earth is split asunder, the earth is thoroughly shaken.THE SIGNS BEFORE POLE SHIFT AKA EARTH CRUST DISPLACEMENT OR AS THE BIBLE SAYSஜ۩۞۩ஜ Revelation 6:14 ஜ۩۞۩ஜThe sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its placeஜ۩۞۩ஜIsaiah 24:20ஜ۩۞۩ஜ The earth reels like a drunkard, it sways like a hut in the wind;>"For those days will be a time of tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will.>"At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people--everyone whose name is found written in the book--will be delivered{{{ REVELATION 16/17 }}} 18Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since man has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake. 19The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20 Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found. 21From the sky huge hailstones of about a hundred pounds each fell upon men. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.{{{AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH SO IT SHALL BE AT THE COMING OF THE SUN OF MAN }}}THE BOOK ENOCH THE BOOK OF NOAH**65.1 And in those days, Noah saw the Earth had tilted and that its destruction was near. 65.2 And he set off from there and went to the ends of the Earth and cried out to his great-grandfather Enoch; and Noah said three times in a bitter voice: "Hear me, hear me, hear me!"65.3 And he said to him: "Tell me, what is it that is being done on the Earth, that the Earth is so afflicted and shaken, lest I be destroyed with it!"
