ISAIAH 1: Explanatory Foreword.

FOREWORD TO ISAIAH ONE.
The prophet’s vision and prophecies encompass all that Jehovah, or JAH’S view of the fallen, but divided State of Israel. More importantly he focuses on the southern kingdom of Judah ( with Benjamin) and its hallowed capital of Jerusalem. God speaks through the mouth and pen of Isaiah to apostate Judah fallen into idolatry, and wicked perversion. Nauseated over the impenitent descendants of Jacob and David he expresses his frustrated fury over the depraved degradation of its citizenry. Particularly is he indignant over the hypocritical false piety and the worship of worship.

However, he in wrath remembers mercy because of his everlasting merciful kindness and restrains his full retribution. Why? Because of the faithful remnant who adamantly refuse to worship the cult of Baal and faithfully adhere to the true God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. References: Isaiah 1:9; 18; 25-27; 6:10.

The latter’s name was changed by the angel to Israel and his son Joseph preserved his descendants in Egypt, and 430 years to the day Moses led them in them away to the Promised Land they now occupy. The general description of Judah’s abject immorality is interlaced with the hope of mercy and redemption under the condition of their repentance. The darkness of Jerusalem’s doom hovers like Damocles’ Sword held by a hair’s breadth and it seems that the rank impenitence of the stiff-necked people will bring inevitable judgment. Seeing no hope of that happening the tone of mercy becomes an intermittent, spasmodic recurring theme. . Thus three future events are foreshadowed:

1. the Return of the remnant from seventy years Babylonian captivity led by Ezra and Nehemiah;
2. the arrival of Christ, the prophesied Immanuel, or First Advent’s efficacious blood covenant, (v 18); and
3. the Second Coming of Christ, the Messiah, to reign in Jerusalem: a post apocalyptic event of the end days.

Isaiah 1:
Isaiah’s visionary insight into the corruption of Judah & Jerusalem.
1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

9 Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

24 Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:

25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.

29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

31 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.

FOOTNOTES:
Samaria: describes the region occupied by ten of the twelve tribes of Israel. Confusing to the reader can be the three names used to describe them: Israel, Ephraim, and Samaria. Samaria is the region (between Judea and Galilee), occupied by the rebel ten tribes that had ceded from the kingdom of Israel after Solomon’s death leaving a split kingdom of Israel in the north and Judah in the south with neighbouring Benjamin. The two books of Kings and the other two books of Chronicles describe the constant conflicts and incessant civil wars between the north and the south. Samaria is also the name of the city.

ISAIAH 1: Explanatory Foreword.

ISAIAH 4: Explanatory Foreword.

FOREWORD TO ISAIAH 4.
Verses 1-4 speak of the judgment that came particularly under Ahaz and then Manasseh, who passed the point of no return. But the rest of the chapter envisions the post apocalypse period when, with the Second Coming of Christ he will reign in Zion. This is an intermittent theme throughout the book in which the reader continually gets six glimpses of Jerusalem, one in present real time of Isaiah’s writing, and six time periods of the future.

Isaiah’s divine insight into the future often sees both the godly remnant and God’s wrathful purge of past nations which have opposed the Semite descendants of Jacob over the centuries. E.g.: he envisions the remnant that would remain with Jeremiah after the final siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar the Babylonian king. (Cp. 2 Chronicles 36:17-21) In wrath upon the dissolute city of Zion Yahweh preserves some of the faithful as he did in the time of Noah and the Flood. Zion, its city and temple were shallow shells without the righteous. Thus, even during his vengeance against the wicked he preserves a tenth of Judah maintaining the Messianic BRANCH by his promise to David.

Six glimpses of Jerusalem describing Judah’s capital are not necessarily in any chronological sequence and there can be more than one time frame in a given chapter. This together with the array of unknown geographical references can be quite distracting from the main theme of each segment.

The six glimpses of Jerusalem given by Isaiah in the sixty six chapters of his book are:-

1. The present at the time of writing under one of the four kings: Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah. Josephus thinks Isaiah was martyred in King Manasseh’s reign, the fifth but most evil of all Judah’s monarchs.
2. Immediately after the city’s sacking by Babylon.
3. Seventy years later when Cyrus allows the return of the captives to the city.
4. Jerusalem hundreds of years later with the First Advent: Christ’s birth.
5. Jerusalem in the modern day ingathering of the Diaspora in 19th-20th C
6. Jerusalem after the apocalyptic judgment of the nations at the Second Coming of Christ.

Isaiah 4
Isaiah predicts high war casualties will deplete the male generation.

1 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.
2 In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
5 And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.
6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the day time from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
__________________________________________________
FOOTNOTE
Isaiah 4:1. Under King Ahaz and then Hezekiah’s son Manasseh their evils led to a significant imbalance of the two genders. Abductions by foreign powers, including the raids of the northern Kingdom on Jerusalem, and massive casualties in battle were responsible for the inevitable reduction of the male population. Thus ‘seven women shall take hold of one man’, reflects Jerusalem’s dilemma envisioned by the prophet, if not witnessed in real time.

ISAIAH 4: Explanatory Foreword.

ISAIAH 3: Explanatory Foreword

FOREWORD TO ISAIAH THREE (by John David) –
Isaiah predicts the imminent destruction of Jerusalem & Judah.
Isaiah describes in his discerning vision a Jerusalem abandoned to wickedness and corruption with Judah’s governors acting with the folly of a child’s behavior. Law and order is imploding with immorality. Abject women rule in pomp and pride, consumed with the vanities of fashion.

Men have willingly abandoned their male lechery lusting instead for one another. Sodomy is prolific and the other gender have painted themselves like Jezebel in the vanity of attracting their own kind. On the other hand, the remnant of remaining god-fearing disciples of Yahweh are oppressed and persecuted for their peculiar faith by the apostate descendants of David.

Healthy heterogeneity has been exchanged for homogeneous iniquity pervading the city and its environs. The righteous remnant are seen as a threat because of their peculiarities. One wonders what Isaiah would say to any modern day city in his preaching if he were alive today.

Isaiah 3 https://www.biblegateway.com/ public domain.
CHAPTER THREE.
1 For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water.
2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
3 The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.

4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
6 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:

7 In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

13 The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord God of hosts.

16 Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts.
18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,

19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
21 The rings, and nose jewels,

22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,
23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.

ISAIAH 3: Explanatory Foreword

ISAIAH: Explanatory Preface.

PREFACE: by John David
The book of the prophet Isaiah is a problem to the first reader without some prefatory comments to orient the reader not used to its unusual style. The difficulties of language and parlance are explained hereunder:

1. The imagery, and oblique allusions to the main historical actors of the time;
2. The combined influence of the Hebrew language and the later Septuagint’s Greek manuscripts consulted;
3. The metaphors, metonyms, and pseudonyms without the reader’s historical knowledge from the books of Samuel, Kings and Chronicles can be puzzling or even an enigma;

4. The allegories and similes can, at times, be off-putting, because they are based upon the historical scenario of Israel’s surrounding environs;

Considering the above factors the reader may find the text abstract and without much further thought miss the treasures of the prophecies, the promises, their later fulfilment, and glorious description of the end times which are corroborate with other major and minor prophetical books of Scripture end times’ predictions on the second coming of Christ, called the Second Advent.

The book’s historical sequence in prophecy, promise and narration is consistent and cohesive. However, it can be difficult to discern between Isaiah’s own convictions and his direct revelations from God.

Seven centuries before Christ’s birth Jehovah was about to remove the ten rebel idolatrous tribes from the north alluded to under the pseudonyms of Israel, Samaria, or Ephraim. The two apostate but opposing segments of Solomon’s kingdom of David were Judah (& Benjamin) in the south, and the ten confederate rebel tribes of Israel in the north. Despite faithful prophets over multiple decades who had warned them they were both ripe for destruction and captivity by Syria, Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, the Medo-Persian usurping empire and the sufferings of increasing civil war between each other.
John David

ISAIAH: Explanatory Preface to the Book

The Message of Apostate Christendom in the Last Days.

THE GREAT DECEPTION OF THE LAST DAYS (see Matthew 24 warnings by Jesus)
1. Easy religion = those preachers and churches that evangelise to get the most people responding to their message by eliminating genuine repentance (gift of godly sorrow)
a. Jesus spoke of them in John 10 as thieves and hirelings that do this
b. It is popular today to preach how easy it is to receive Christ, but this error is unbiblical and both Jeremiah and Jesus said that it is not enough to want heaven after death. It is not enough to want to miss hellfire after death. It is not enough to seek the Lord by attending church and/or reading the Bible, saying prayers, or being baptized in water. The prophets and Jesus demand:-
i. wholeheartedness, seeking the Lord with all of one’s heart
ii. that one admits his lack of faith and need of divine faith as His gift
iii. that one admits his heart is deceitful and wickedly self-righteous
iv. that one admits his inability to have faith or grace and that he went astray from the womb under the curse of Adam’s sin passed on through his forbears
v. that one admits, when he is religious, that this is a self justifying motive and not the so-called inner desire to seek the Lord by the promptings of conscience (which is also fallen and corrupted by sin). Paul calls the conscience “evil”.
vi. That one admits that he is made in the image of the earthy (i.e. Adam’s image, not God’s image as he was originally created in his innocence).
“The easy religion offering unconditional acceptance into the Kingdom by SELF FAITH and automated repentance is justified by the moral majority who twist Romans 10:9 away from its context and bibliolatrously venerate it (& verse 13). Then the clergy of easy-religion use them to interpret all other Scriptures. This illogical hermeneutic becomes the arbiter of all New Testament truth and acts as a blocking filter to disallow both the effects of the curse and its legacy of ORIGINAL SIN to deny man’s utter dependence upon the endowment of grace to repent and believe the Gospel.”

PRAYER OF CONFESSION BY WESTERN SAINTS

CONFESSION & ADMISSION BY CAUCASIAN SAINTS
Dear Heavenly Father, As we read thy word in Romans 11 and Genesis 9:27 we look at the apostate state of Japheth’s children in Christendom of the West, and we, like you O Lord, are grieved. Surely the time draws nigh when the descendants of Japheth will be broken off and the children of Shem will be grafted back into their olive tree.

Thy promise through Noah of enlargement to the Caucasian children of Japheth of Europe was combined with the nexus of us dwelling in the tents of Shem.

We acknowledge O Lord the enlargement of European nations since the dawn of the Reformation that began to end the Roman stranglehold of darkness. You have been merciful in keeping your promise enlarging advances in education, science, industry, medicine, wealth and capital gain beyond imagination. But we (Japheth) have forgotten both Israel (Shem) and faith by grace and its prior need of awakening shared by the Reformation and created our own witty inventions of religious substitutes of sacrament, affirmation, and philosophical optimism, spurning our plight under original sin’s blight.

We have become a wilful, violent people whose eyes are haughty with lofty eyelids and stiff necks. We have clung to the Tree of Knowledge instead of the Tree of Life and are blind to our wicked ways, while we hypocritically assert superiority over both Shem and Ham. Our only puritanical streak remaining is our puritanical hypocrisy. Our confrontational judgmental ways provokes the very violence we want to avoid. Surely the “days of Noah,and their violent imaginations are with us once again, even the vile wickedness of Sodom, and Gomorrah which you once destroyed.

Now O Lord we confess that we have for the most part turned our back on the tent of Shem in arrogance and political folly. Furthermore, we have scorned the faith of the Reformers and invented our own freewill faith rejecting the necessity of the spirit of prayer and prevenient grace that awakens the lost to hear the good news. Though Israel has known your ‘breach of promise’ and we Gentiles were grafted in to the Vine, the time draws nigh when you will break off our branches and restore Israel to yourself.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION BY WESTERN SAINTS

Warped United Nations Censure of USA.

Warped UN Vote= 60% of the 128 U.N group censuring the USA was from the anti Semite league of three.

(40%) of the whole U.N is now comprised of these alliances
60% of the 128 voting against the USA came from Muslim, Communist, (+ex Soviet states), and EU blocs.

*The Muslim 57 nation Organization of Islamic Co-operation led by Saudi Arabia and Iran usually vote together against Jews and the State of Israel.
*The three anti Semitic alliances (40% of the whole U.N.) were 60% of the censure voters.

128 CENSURING NATIONS ANALYSED.
Bloc voting skewed national representation via (1)the Muslim, (2) the Communist (including ex Soviet states); and (3) the EU nations. This vote was orchestrated antipathy.

These three powerful alliances dominate the floor of the U.N. now defeating free independent and impartial expression of sovereign nation states in the 192 member league. Each of the three blocs have historically shown anti-Semitic bias over the last few decades as the politically correct pressure progressively increases.

The EU now seems to have capitulated to it. This vote of censure was not just against America’s recognition of Jerusalem, but also against Israel itself.

HOW THE THREE ALLIANCES VOTED AGAINST THE USA
1. 18 EU nations of the 28
2. 49 Islamic nations of the 57 in the Org. of. Islamic Co-op.
3. 10 Communist and pro Communist nations.

These 77 nations made up 60% of the 128 censuring nations and 40% of the whole 192 U.N General Assembly

Thus in the U.N the three dominant interest groups have progressively befriended the late Yasser Arafat’s PLO Palestinian cause and alienated the Jewish Palestinian cause (now Israeli cause since 1948) thereby slewing the votes of the General Assembly for over two decades. Combined with the long standing Communist obstructive vetoes in the U.N Permanent Security Council the U.N has become dysfunctional and merely the tool of anti Semitic bias.

The E.U finally yielded to the two other dominant blocs in voting against its own interests censuring the USA’s recognition of the status quo in Israel. This may not the beginning of the end, but maybe the end of its beginning demise. The U.N is already a mere political paper tiger.

UK’s decision, in particular, to censure the USA & Israel showed how one Muslim mayor of London City and his dominantly Islamic electorate could turn the Westminster UK government in the Commons against two of its long standing allies: Israel and the USA. It made Israel a staunch ally: i.e. in Palestinian Jews before ’48 independence (1917-1944). The same growing influence of Islam upon the UK (2%+ of the populace) has within the last two years forced Holocaust denial upon all of their state school children by removing the Holocaust from schools’ curricula.

It is fair to say that the power of the Islamic block has changed once democratic UN into a tool of Muslims and Communists to chide and chafe the Western free world and be a constant irritant to the Jewish free state of Israel.

Church Universalism a Blight

The Blight Christendom’s Universalism.
Whether in orthodox, liberal, evangelical or fundamental wings of the church this disease is a pandemic blight upon the biblical gospel of the Lord Jesus, Its seeds were sown in the third and fourth centuries and they germinated in the Renaissance of the fifteenth century. finally bearing fruit in the eighteenth century’s Enlightenment. Its early buds of growth emerged to counter Luther’s return to the true essence of Christianity: the just shall live by faith in the 16th C. Reformation.

However, the full appearance of its diseased fruit blossomed in the 18th C. Age of Enlightenment convincing pastors, priests and prelates that it was ‘was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom’ they were gulled as quickly as Eve was in the Garden of Eden. Thus once tasted its poison began to work among the intelligentsia of the church who wrote prolifically about its benefits.

In that new age of reason a new breed of Christian humanists were generated among the ‘tasters’ from the clergy and theological scholars
Today’s humanist pragmatic bibliolatry was borrowed unwittingly in the 19th C from the 18th C liberal Age of Enlightenment. 21st C evangelicals and even fundamentalists still use its legacy in their hermeneutics to arm their sectarian separatism or their liberal ecumenism.

SIGNS OF THE FALSE PROPHET

SIGNS OF THE FALSE PROPHET
In Matthew 12 and 13 we read of the signs of the false prophets who will proclaim a false Christ. The main sign is their showmanship. They will SHOW great success with seeming wonders that will deceive Christendom of the last days. Though the sheep will be numbed by the display of personality cult leaders they will not be deceived at the end. Only for a while will they allow the hireling to rule with cruelty and stop the prayer gatherings that have been so instrumental in the awakening of the lost around them. Only for a season will the sheep sleep from the benumbing, deception of a false gospel and a false Christ.

This will be rife in the last days and John in the book of Revelation describes not only the Church of Laodecia, but also the Church of Sardis. The former is easily recognized by its cold liberalism and rank apostasy, but the latter seems to be rich with success, clothed with the right clichés and old style jargon of the past. It seems to be very successful, at least by its profession of growing conversions. Its numbers swell and the performance cannot be faulted. The smooth, oiled machine of soul winning fervour is a sight to behold. Human faith seems unlimited and there is nothing it cannot accomplish if the believers have the right mind-set.

Amid the flurry of cameraderie and freedom of social interaction coaxed by the jovial, if not flippant pastor, all seems to be a happy place to meet. The intricate parts of its ministry are strictly controlled to prevent breakdown or individualism. For this reason public prayer is limited to selected individuals who have the right credentials of conformity and will be as brief as possible. The 19th C intercessory weekly meeting of free prayer gathering of the saints has been superseded by a Torrey styled Bible Study, to which a short window of prayer is annexed. Sentence prayers for a list of the ailing has replaced free prayer of the brethren for the lost. What was once a concord of all the assembly is now divided separately into T groups for the limited time allowed. Gender restraints prevail at the behest of the pastor unlike the meeting in the Upper Room where gender division was absent, women praying silently in one accord with the brethren’s outpoured fervency as the place shook with the spirit of prayer.

THE SLEEPING SAINTS
In the last days Jesus had predicted that the saints would almost be deceived by the presentation of other gospels by false prophets, pastors, ministers and priests. They would be benumbed by the falsity of smooth words, ear-tickling, self-ingratiating pulpiteers become personality promoters who play the man with their frivolous gift of the gab. Their successful self aggrandizing style comforts the goats and sedates the sheep into sombre sleep.

Jesus had warned that these charlatans would become the false ministers of light who would almost deceive the very elect. The true backwoods’ prophets would alone bring them again to WATCH for the Master’s return as their eyes are again opened to the apostasy of the great falling away around them. These are wolves in sheep’s clothing teaching goats how to don fleecy apparel with a broad smile to cover the emptiness of their vain religion void of grace.

SIGNS OF THE FALSE PROPHET

U.S. Media Moguls Redefine Treason.

U.S. Media Moguls Redefine Treason
The increasing manipulation of the news to express the opinion of a handful of billionaire media moguls has descended to a dangerous farce. Berlin and Tokyo world news transmissions to America are the only remaining bastions of free and balanced reportage left. NBC, BBC, ABC, CBS, and PBS have all been suborned and politicized by their owners to suppress balanced investigative journalism and instead present unfounded hearsay as fact.

This handful of media owners have accelerated their modus operandi: “a man is presumed guilty until he has been proven innocent.” Open American media slander has reached historic levels in the last twelve months. Randolph Hearst and Marshall McLuhan would not have believed it possible short of open treason.
When world media control rests in the hands of so few and these band together to orchestrate the fall of a legitimate president they become not only a danger to the Oval Office, but also to the good ship of state.

Hearst, who was credited with starting the war with Spain, and keeping the U.S out of WW1 from 8/1914 to 3/1917 with his bellicose isolationism, demonstrated the danger of an unbridled press. Marshall McLuhan warned of its global dangers in his The Medium Has Become the Message.

French philosopher, theologian, legal scholar, and sociologist Jacques Ellul predicted the gross national dangers of orchestrated press Propaganda: The Formation of Men’s Attitudes (1965/1973).

Scuttling the old battleship USS Democracy and her escort USS Free Speech by their partisanship endangers the very flagship of state: USS Readiness.

The ultra concentration of media power, in the hands of so few, that plays with firing its partisan mega-cannon against Washington’s White House and its Oval Office, is unwittingly ready to start an internal conflagration that is wholly counterproductive to both national and international peace.

In an hitherto unprecedented fashion since the American Civil War, these untouchables risk inciting another unthinkable civil conflagration just to line their pockets already bulging from their uncontrolled preoccupation with character assassination.

These unbridled 21st century media masters, who use liberty for license and drop their incendiary munitions in a relentless blitzkrieg, show the dexterity that better befits them for a pariah sovereign state brainwashing its mindless subjects.

Obviously these armchair dictators of aberrant journalese have learned well how to do it from George Orwell’s novel ‘Nineteen Eighty Four’.

When a nation teeters on the brink of abandoning the Christian Work Ethic and its associated moral values these ‘fat cats’ are now ready to lever it over the precipice for their own short lived gains. The Puritan Work Ethic upon which America was built has been exchanged for the humanist freedom of puritanical hypocrisy, led by the so-called ‘free press’. “And every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” Judges 17:6; Judges 21:25
