GOD’S LAW AND MYSTERY BABYLON

I know the following discussion may be a little deep for some and there may be those who completely disagree with it. This is actually only a brief summary. I could literally spend weeks or months on this. I do not ask anyone to blindly take my word on any of this, but approach it with genuine heartfelt prayer, asking God to reveal to you the truth and give you understanding. Get into God's word and study and also look at the historical facts. If anyone has any questions, feel free to contact me and we will try with God's help to answer them.
With that said, consider the following.

Despite what the majority of denominational churches teach,
God’s Law has NOT been done away with.
It is true that we are not saved by keeping the law. We are
saved by grace because Christ kept the law perfectly and paid
the penalty that the law required for sin for us as our Passover
lamb. However, this does not give us permission to ignore God’s
Law. It is through the study of and allowing the Holy Spirit to write
the Law on our hearts that we become more like Christ and
let His mind be in us. In other words, we began to think like and
understand God.
As a result of the false teaching that the Law has been done away
with, the majority of Christians do not understand God’s Law and they
accept (tolerate) un-lawful behavior from individuals, churches,
institutions, State Governments and especially the Federal Government.

First, let’s consider a few thoughts about the Law. God’s Law consists of
Commandments, Statutes, and Judgments. Under God’s
Law (which can also be summed up in God’s Law of Love) there are 10 Commandments,
and then there are about 759 Statutes that explain the various Commandments. There
are also the judgments (punishments or chastisements) for not obeying the
Law. The same is true under man’s law, however there are a lot
more commandments and millions of statutes under man’s law. Let’s
say that the commandment is “thou shall not speed”. What
does that mean? There are statutes to explain the commandment;
example, thou shall not do more than 20 mph in a
school zone, or thou shall not go more than 30 mph in a residential
area, or thou shall not do more than 65 mph on a
highway. There are also judgments under man’s law. If you
get caught speeding; you get a ticket and you face cash register
justice.

Did you know that there is a difference between lawful (God’s law) and legal (man’s law)?
One example is that gold and silver are Lawful money; Federal
Reserve Notes are legal tender; another is that murder is
unLawful, baby murder is legal, i.e. abortion.
Sin is the transgression of the Law (1 John 3:4) or
lawlessness. You break the Law under God’s Law and you
are a sinner, you break the law under man’s law and you are
a criminal.

True Christianity is not a religion. True Christianity is a moral and
ethical way of life with God’s Law as our standard, our guide being written on our hearts by the Holy Spirit after we have confessed our sin and accepted Christ's sacrifice for our sin. This is how we are led by the Spirit. The Holy Spirit will NEVER lead us to do anything contrary to God’s Law. It doesn’t matter what
the preacher says is right or wrong or thus sayeth our Denomination; its what God says is right or wrong that matters.
Additionally, we are admonished to live our lives by the spirit of the Law (the Spirit is Love and gives Life) but not the letter of the Law (it killeth); that’s where grace comes in.

Now, to continue, we are captives of Mystery Babylon and don’t even know it. God, in His mercy, has blinded us so that we would willingly accept our captivity without realizing that we are captives. Today we are literally watching the collapse of Babylon world-wide before our eyes. The good news however is that delivery from this Babylonian captivity is near. MYSTERY, (better translated secret or hidden) BABYLON THE GREAT, is a world wide system that is primarily Economic (the entire economy is based on debt, credit, and usury) (the Beast from the Earth). The gold and silver have been done away with as money or medium of exchange and replaced by unbacked paper notes. However it is also Political (a totally corrupt system), including Judicial (an unjust system), and Religious (false and half true doctrines taught in the churches and a church ruler setting himself up to have more influence and power than Christ) (the Beast from the Sea). Remember, Jesus said that we worship God in vain and make His commandments of none effect if we teach man’s  traditions and doctrines instead of the true word of God. The system also includes Social (a way of life that has become secular, with no standards or absolutes).

What brought us to this point?
Just as God punished the Israelites of old for violating
His Law and put them into various captivities at different
occasions, God has put us into captivity by Mystery
Babylon for violating His Law. An iron yoke indicates
deportation and captivity in a foreign land (country), a
wooden yoke indicates captivity in one’s own land. In the
late 1800’s and early 1900’s our churches started teaching
the false doctrine that we do not need to keep the Law because
we are under grace. This led to the believers doing what was right
in their own eyes in stead of following the principals of God’s Law
to direct their lives. When God put Israel of old in Assyrian
captivity in 745 B.C., He put them in bondage for 7 Times.
Now we need to know what a times is. There are 365 days
in a solar year and 354 days in a lunar year. The average or
mean between the two is 360 days. There are 360 days in a
biblical year; there are 360 degrees in a circle, so one time
around the cycle is 360. 7 x 360 equals 2,520. Add 2,520
years to 745 B.C. (there is no year “0”), it comes to 1776,
the birth of our nation, 13 tribes of Israel (including the tribe
of Levi), 13 colonies, etc. America didn’t happen by
chance, it was instituted by God. Read our founding documents
and those of the Puritans and Pilgrims. They knew
who they were. America in the Celtic language means
“heavenly kingdom,” (just not perfected).
The capital of Israel of old was Samaria, which fell in
721 B.C.. Add 2,520 years and it comes to 1800 when America’s
capital was moved from Philadelphia to Washington D.C.
The kingdom of Babylon of old became an empire in 607
B.C., add 2,520 years and it comes to 1914, the establishment
of the Federal Reserve System, the Central Bank of
Babylon. The Federal Reserve Act created a neo-
Babylonian Empire in the modern world and put us into
financial bondage to the banksters who control political
leaders through the power of money. The Federal Reserve
is the mechanism God used to put us in bondage to Babylon
again, God’s timing proves it. To make the point that we are
in bondage, think about some things.
a) Babylonian captors don’t care about our “God given rights” secured by the Constitution, given to us “slaves” by our Creator. They are only interested in controlling us through “state granted privileges”, policies and procedures, licenses and permits, rules and regulations, taxes, etc. Think about the laws
that were passed in ancient Babylon to prevent God’s people from praying (Daniel)
and that penalized God’s people when they refused to bow down to unrighteous government laws (Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego). The same thing is going on today.
b) The power brokers of Babylon have gained their power
through debt. America is now on the verge of bankruptcy
and in so much debt that our grandchildren will never be
able to repay it. Remember the Biblical principals of “neither
a lender nor borrower be” or that “the borrower is servant
of the lender” (Proverbs 22:7).
c) We as a nation are now part of a Global (world-wide
Babylon ) Economy and have lost millions of jobs overseas
through outsourcing while our citizens are unemployed.
d) We are in Economic Slavery through confiscatory
income taxes, administered through a progressive (communist)
income tax system and a variety of other sales and use
taxes, as well as license, permit and registration fees, etc.
e) We no longer have the right to ownership of property,
only the privilege of possessing it as long as you pay tribute
to “Caesar”. Just try not paying your property taxes and
see how long the government lets you live in their house.
f) We have lost our freedom and are now ruled by a moderately
tyrannical government; almost every aspect of our
lives is controlled in one way or another.
When the Government needs money it
borrows the money from the Federal
Reserve. The Federal Reserve then creates
what is called money from thin air, pays the
Treasury Department to print it, loans it to
the Government at interest (usury). The
Federal Reserve is then paid back with interest
(usury) when the I.R.S. collects taxes.
The I.R.S. is nothing more than the collection
agency for the Federal Reserve. Have you
ever noticed that when you write a check to
the I.R.S. the back of the check is endorsed
by the Federal Reserve and not the I.R.S. or
Treasury Department? Nice scam huh?!
The 8th Commandment states that “Thou Shall Not
Steal”. The Statutes that explain this Commandment
include statutes against usury. Usury (charging interest on
a loan) is against God’s Law (Deut. 23:19 ). Stealing, whether by a gun
or a government or unrighteous interest charged by a bank, is against God’s Law. Our entire economic system is contrary to God’s Law. There are no equal weights and measures, and it is “an abomination unto the Lord thy God” (Deut. 25:13-16).
As a result it’s a house of cards in the process of collapsing before our
eyes. Unless the Lord builds the house and the house is built upon the rock, it will
not stand.

One last thought. We, as Americans, have been worshiping
the “Golden Calf” without realizing it; chasing the
“American Dream”, the pursuit of success, keeping up with
the Joneses, buying into the Prosperity Gospel taught in so
many churches and ministries, etc. But what about Jesus’
words “. . . but rather seek ye the Kingdom of God ; and all
these things shall be added unto you. . . ” (Luke 12:15-34)?
How do we get out of this mess?
“. . . And when these things begin to come to pass, then
look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption
draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28). Mystery Babylon the Great, is
not going away until we (Christians) repent of our lawless
ways. We should start learning about and applying God’s
Law in our daily lives. Victory is assured because repentance
is assured. It was assured in 2001 when God blinded
every one into praying “God Bless America ” after 9/11. He
will “. . . bless you, in turning away every one of you from
his iniquities” (lawlessness) (Acts 3:26 ). “If my people,
which are called by name (Christians) shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their
wicked (lawless) ways; then will I hear from heaven, and
will forgive their sin, and will heal their land” (II
Chronicles 7:14).
“But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt
find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon
thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and
shalt be obedient unto his voice;” (Deuteronomy 4:29-30).

When, not if, Mystery Babylon falls it will be replaced by the Kingdom
of God here on earth. Jesus Christ our King is returning.
We don’t go to “heaven” and just kick back on a cloud,
the “ Kingdom of Heaven ” is coming here. “Blessed are the meek:
for they shall inherit the earth” (Matt.5:5). Seek out the “Gospel of
the Kingdom”. It’s more than the simple “milk of the
word” and the “Gospel of Salvation”. That’s just the beginning.
It’s real meat. It’s about our King (Jesus the Christ),
His Law (God’s Law), Kingdom Administration (the
Overcomers who will sit with Him on His throne), a Land area (New, not old,
Jerusalem ), and the Citizens (Believers in Christ). Nonbelievers
will be outside the Kingdom, out from under the
Glory of God.
The Gospel of the Kingdom is also about the restitution
and restoration of all things.

Return

Well, it has been just a little over a year since I last posted on this blog.  It was one of the most trying years I have ever experienced going through the sickness and hospital stays and the continual ministering to my wife after she was finally able to return home. It has been very trying, but God has truly blessed and taught me through it all.
I hope that I will again be able to return and begin to post to this blog again on a fairly regular basis.
Thanks to all for you prayers, support, and encouragement this past year.
