A VERY PROVOCATIVE READ! All Adventists
realize that the abomination of desolation is in place when the Sunday Law is
enforced, but this is a most interesting article on the state of the nation.
We should be aware of the thinking of others. Ron http://www.lasttrumpetministries.org/2008/March2008a.html
America - An Abomination That Maketh
Desolate! "But
when ye shall see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION spoken of by Daniel the
prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then
let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:…..For in those days shall
be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God
created unto this time, neither shall be. And except that the Lord had
shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake,
whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days." "Verily
I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. O
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which
are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together,
even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall
not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the
name of the Lord." "And
there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also
bewailed and lamented him. But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem,
weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. For, behold
the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and
the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. Then shall
they begin to say to the mountains, fall on us, and to the hills, cover us.
For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?" In this issue of the Last Trumpet,
we will examine with great amazement the depth of the spiritual condition
that now exists in the United States of America. We are living in a strange
time and under the shadow of a strange and clandestine false light. The
erstwhile great nation of the United States is now entering a time of trouble
such as never thought to be possible. Why are some areas in record drought
conditions and many others areas ravaged by continual storms? Why is it that
every time there are major election primaries in various states, a swarm of
tornadoes rips through entire states? Remember February 6th, "Super
Tuesday", when forty-four massive killer tornadoes devastated large
areas of six southern states? On the morning of the 6th day of February, six
states awakened to destruction so severe that it looked like an atomic bomb
had been dropped. Six days later, there was another major primary, and more
tornadoes occurred. Could it be that the Lord is not pleased with the
candidates that are running for the high office of President of the United
States? How long will it be until a final antichrist rises up, and all
remaining Scriptural prophecies are rapidly fulfilled? The above Bible verses tell every
discerning Christian that there is something to watch for. It is called
"the abomination that maketh desolate." Many people who have heard
of this suppose that it refers to an image or idol that is set up; and people
are induced, and even forced, to worship it. There is much more to it than
that if we understand the depth of the metaphor of the prophecy. What is the
abomination of desolation that Jesus referred to and Daniel the prophet spoke
of? What abomination did Israel repeatedly commit that made them desolate?
The answer is exceedingly clear: it was the constant rejection of the
prophets, the Word of God, and ultimately the Son of God himself. After
enough time had gone by, a certain line was crossed, and God himself
pronounced them and their house desolate. The only remedy for them would be
Jesus Christ and His saving grace. But what happens to a nation that
continually rejects the true Lord Jesus Christ and His saving grace? What is
left but desolation? Has the United States crossed that line? Why have we
become a nation of drunken, drugged, sex-crazed, and baby-killing people? We
are a society in deep debt and deep sin, and a people filled with blasphemy.
At the same time, we have rejected the true Saviour for religion, ritual, and
self-righteousness. Nearly all so-called "Christian" churches today
are so vile that no true Christian could attend one. It has never been like
this before. We also know that nearly the entire
population of the United States has been transformed into human images of the
beast. This has been accomplished by means of computers, cable and satellite
television, and other electronic media. People have been methodically transformed
under the guise of entertainment, and they are now under satanic beast
control. The people of society in general now look, act, and talk like the
beast; and this is intensifying. People are ripe for the picking, and the
powers of antichrist are ready for the one-world harvesting of souls to
begin. Everything is now in place for world takeover. This very thing was
foretold in James 5:5-6 as follows: "Ye have lived in pleasure on the
earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of
slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist
you." It is now time for everyone who is reading this newsletter to seek
the Lord in the depth of prayer. The Saviour will hear you and send you the
blessed presence of the Holy Ghost. You need Him and time is almost gone. The
abomination of desolation is everywhere, but you can be saved from it! Two Great Religions Rising! In these final days before the
return of our Saviour to this troubled planet, two powerful religions are
rising up as powerful spiritual forces. One is the religion of Islam, or the
Moslems. The other is a strange, amalgamated pseudo-Christianity with the
Vatican as its core. This latter emerging religion is like a many headed
hydra monster rising up out of the sea of humanity. In the United States we are seeing a
dramatic high-profiling of Islam. At the end of January 2008, the Iowa State
Legislature session was opened with prayer by Mohammed Khan, the imam of the
Islamic Center in Des Moines, Iowa. This was done at the request of Iowa
State Representative Ako Abdul-Samad, who has questionable ties with Moslem
extremists. (1) It was a four-minute prayer to Allah for victory over those
who disbelieve and for protection from the "Great Satan." (2) Here
let it be noted that among Islamic extremists, the "Great Satan" is
the United States of America. In April 2007, Imam Yusuf Kavakei of
the Dallas Central Mosque was invited to open the Texas Senate with the first
Islamic prayer. This was done in answer to the invitation given by the Texas
Lieutenant Governor and a state senator. Before the prayer was given, the
imam read from the opening chapter of the Koran, "Al-Fatehah",
which included the words: "All praise is for Allah, our lord, the lord
of the worlds, the compassionate, the merciful, master of the day of
judgments Oh, God, Allah, you alone we worship, and you alone we call on for
help. Oh, Allah, guide us to the straight path, the path of those whom you
have favored, not of those who have earned your wrath, or of those who have
lost the way." Here let it be noted that in Moslem jargon, those who
have earned wrath are the Jews, and those who have lost the way are
Christians! (3) Similar things are going on in other states as well. While Islam is the rising religion
in the United States, I must also mention that Hinduism is being amplified as
well. We remember that last year U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
invited Nevada Hindu Rajan Zed to offer a Hindu prayer in the U.S. Senate.
Now, this same Hindu leader opened the Colorado State Senate by chanting the
Gayatri Mantra from the Rig-Veda, complete with its series of om, om, om
(also spelled aom). We must also note that it is forbidden to open these
sessions using the name Jesus. (4) Now we have a front-running
Presidential candidate who is a closet Moslem. Barack Hussein Obama, a young
man with charisma and a mission, could very well be the next President of the
United States. As such, this ultra left-wing liberal would also be the
Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces, and the man who would appoint the
next three Supreme Court justices. We know that Mr. Obama claims that he
joined the United Church of Christ, but no one has ever become a true
Christian by joining a church. This is all a convenient front to be used when
advantageous to do so. This is the man who attracted a cheering crowd of
17,000 people in Madison, Wisconsin. This crowd went completely berserk over
Obama. This sort of thing has been happening everywhere he goes. The radical
supporters of Barack Hussein Obama sometimes refer to him as "something
akin to a messiah", and his campaign is being called, "Obama's
first coming" by some. (5) Obama is also being fully endorsed by Senator
Ted Kennedy and the Kennedy family. He is being presented as another John F.
Kennedy. Many are saying that the rallies have the same feel as the John F.
Kennedy rallies of the 1960's. (6) Who is Barack Hussein Obama? His
biography is easy to research and anyone can do it. In my research I have
discovered the following: He was born in Hawaii to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr.,
a black Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya; and Ann Dunham, a white atheist
from Wichita, Kansas. When the junior Obama was two years old, his parents
divorced, and his father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo
Soetoro, who was a radical Muslim from Indonesia. At age six, Barack H.
Obama, Jr., moved to Indonesia with his mother and step-father, where he
attended a Muslim school but also spent two years in a Catholic school. Obama
sometimes conceals his Muslim roots by emphasizing that he attended a
Catholic school. Obama's step-father is the one who introduced him to Islam,
and he enrolled young Barack in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Here let it be
noted that Wahabism is a Radical teaching embraced by Muslim terrorists
waging their holy war against the United States. Barack Obama's membership in
the United Church of Christ is nothing more than a ruse. One more thing to
remember is that the radical Moslems have continually stated that they will
destroy the United States from within! One very interesting thing also
happened on the Republican side of the campaign for President. Once John
McCain became the front-runner, the symbol of the Republican Party changed.
Traditionally, it has been the image of an elephant colored red and blue
surrounded by three white five-pointed stars with one point up and two points
down. Now it appears with the three white stars having two points up and one
point down. This is the symbol for Satanism, and it represents the horns of
the goat of Mendes, or Baphomet. This is the very symbol of black magic
tripled. I saw this new symbol in a few places but wanted to research it
more. That very day I saw it on CNN News. Anyone wanting to verify this
should have no problem finding it. Some have suggested that the new design
was first used when George W. Bush first became President by Supreme Court
decision on the 13th day of December 2000. I did not notice it until McCain
became the front-runner. (7) The other strange religion now
rising, as previously mentioned, is the admixture of Roman Catholicism with
almost everything else. In Venice, Italy, the church known as Our Lady of
Assumption of Ponzano opens its doors to as many as 1,200 Moslems every
Friday night. These Moslems all bow on their knees, with faces to the floor,
and pray to Allah. The Parish Pastor is Don Aldo Danieli, and the whole
operation has the Pope's blessing. (8) This is the same Pope, who on the 13th
day of January chose to baptize thirteen babies at the foot of a fresco
called "Last Judgment"! (9) Roman Catholicism is trying to unite
all of the religions of the world based on a satanic compromise. The Rising Global Dictatorship! So much is happening so quickly, and
the beast government is upon us beyond a shadow of a doubt. In a previous
issue of the Last Trumpet, I reported that the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, or FBI, is building a massive data base of detailed
information on every person in America and on the individuals from other
nations as well. This database will include fingerprints, iris scans, eye
patterns, facial shapes, and so on. On February 4th, 2008, the FBI also
stated that they will include tattoos in their data base. (10) Now we have
learned that a high-tech company called Somark Innovations has developed and
successfully tested a special ink that can be tattooed into the skin
permanently, giving off radio frequency identification information. In other
words, the microchip may not be needed to mark animals and humans. The same
results could be achieved by an invisible tattoo that works with a proximity
reader without even being directly scanned. This electronic ink would contain
whatever information is needed regarding the person to whom it is applied.
The device that reads the tattoo operates on a very high frequency, and the
whole system is chipless and antenna-free. (11) Without a doubt, the world-wide web
and the hundreds of millions of computers interacting in it are the very
electronic brain of the satanic beast himself. In Greece on January 14th,
2008, the television station ERT World featured an amazing story. The
reporter from Patras called attention to the Mayor of the city, Andreas
Fouras, who declared the beginning of the carnival season. The theme was the
"history of communication", and it featured the computer. The King
of the Carnival was then presented as a Wizard of the Computer, and it was
said that he would give soul, meaning life, to the lifeless computers. (12) I
immediately thought of Revelation 13:15 which reads as follows: "And he
had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the
beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the
image of the beast should be killed." We have also been watching the rise
of the European Union, also called United States of Europe. Now we have
learned that erstwhile British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who recently turned
Roman Catholic, is in line to be the President of Europe. Blair recently
stated with certainty, "I'll be President of Europe if you give me the
power." (13) We must also remember that the Euro currency is rapidly
becoming the hallmark currency of the world. On January 22nd, 2008, something
astounding happened. Prince Charles of Britain made a speech to Abu Dhabi
regarding environmental issues. He stood before his audience as a full,
life-size and three-dimensional person while he was seven thousand miles
away. He appeared as a perfect hologram, and one would not be able to tell
the difference between this hologram and a real-life appearance. It was that
perfect. When the speech was over, he vanished before the very eyes of the
audience as his body image disintegrated into thousands of light particles
and disappeared. (14) This sort of electronic marvel is Satan's attempt to be
omnipresent. Can you imagine the possibilities? With such technology it would
be possible to stage a false second coming of Christ, saying, "Lo, here
is Christ, or lo, he is there!" The World's Last Battlefield! The entire world is changing quickly
and dramatically. While the United States of America is entering a time of
destitution, other nations are rising in wealth and strength. Europe is
rapidly uniting, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, with a 75% approval rating,
is now being called one of the most highly respected politicians in the
world. (15) While the United States continues to tighten security and micro
scrutinize every American, European nations are eliminating border checks.
Nine European nations have eliminated the requirements of using passports,
and Angela Merkel officiated in a ceremony of the dissolving of borders.
Clusters of blue balloons with white stars were released by children amid
vast crowds of cheering people. (16) In these last days with all of the
geopolitical changes going on, there is one focal point: the Middle East. The
center of controversy in the Middle East is the State of Israel. The recent
visit to that land by President Bush has left a firestorm of controversy in
that ancient land. There are now conspiracies within the Israeli government
to divide the city of Jerusalem, giving part of it to the Palestinians. The
tension is rapidly rising. (17) Strangely enough, while President Bush came
to the ancient land on a mission to divide Jerusalem, he did so only a few
months after Hillary Clinton stood at the wailing wall and declared the
following: "I believe that Israel's right to exist in safety as a Jewish
state, with defensible borders and an undivided Jerusalem as its capital, secure
from all violence and terrorism, must never be questioned." (18) We know from Scripture that the last
great battle, a short-lived World War III, will be fought at Armageddon. This
would follow a prolonged conflict in the land of the Euphrates River, which
is Iraq. In Revelation 16:12-16 we read of this as follows: "And the
sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water
thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be
prepared. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of
the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the
false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go
forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to
the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief.
Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked,
and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in
the Hebrew tongue Armageddon." Thus, civilization as we know it will end
in the same geographical area where it began. This is Satan's last great war
against Almighty God, and the nations are pawns in his game. Occult powers of
three unclean spirits are now marshalling the forces. On February 2nd, 2008, the witches'
high cross-quarter sabat of Imbolc, the Israeli government announced to the
people of that nation that they are to prepare rocket rooms for war, in order
to cope with the rockets that will rain down upon them. (19) Prime Minister
of Israel Ehud Olmert also is having a nuclear bunker built for him to
withstand nuclear and chemical attacks. (20) Two days after the order was
given to build the rocket rooms, the USS San Jacinto, an American
anti-missile ship, docked at Haifa. (21) On January 15th, 2008, the Israeli
government openly declared that they will not allow Iran to become a nuclear
power and that all options were open to stop them, including military force.
(22) In Iran, President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad made a dramatic speech on January 30th, 2008. The speech was
addressed to all western nations that the State of Israel is in "its
last chapter and the collapse of that nation is imminent." (23) Iran
also recently received a new delivery of nuclear fuel from Russia, and this
was the fifth load received as the stockpile grows larger. (24) Iran has also
sent a rocket into space and plans to launch two more rockets in the next few
months. They are doing this in preparation for launching a satellite into
space. (25) How imminent is World War III? Why
is there such a revival of nuclear force and weapons? On January 23rd, 2008,
NATO held a meeting of its members, and it was determined that NATO
"must prepare to launch a nuclear attack." (26) I immediately remembered
Revelation 19:19, which reads as follows: "And I saw the beast, and the
kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against
him that sat on the horse, and against his army." I also remembered
Zechariah 14:12, which says, "And this shall be the plague wherewith the
Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; their
flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes
shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their
mouth." This is a clear description of what happens to people in a
thermonuclear blast! Russia has been showing clear signs
of having reverted back to the old Soviet era. Putin is starting to make
noise like Nikita Khruschev of the 1960's. On January 22nd, 2008, large
Russian bombers were seen over the Bay of Biscay, where they were test-firing
missiles very near to the two NATO nations of Spain and France. (27) Other strange things are going on.
During the first few days of February, 2008, three different underwater
internet cables at different locations were cut and severed. (28) We must
remember that these times are different than any other. Power is in the hands
of those that control the flow of information. Yet there is another amazing thing
that happened! On January 17th, 2008, a report from Israel Today revealed the
story of the late prominent ultra-orthodox Jewish Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri, who
died at age 108. Rabbi Kaduri wrote a letter that he requested to be sealed until
after his death. His son, Rabbi David Kaduri, has the authentic and signed
letter from his father. The elder Rabbi Kaduri said that he met the Messiah
in a vision just a few months before he died. His son David said that his
father talked and dreamed almost exclusively about the Messiah and his
coming. The elder Rabbi Kaduri wrote, "The Messiah is Jesus
Christ", and in the vision, the Saviour told him he was coming soon. The
old rabbi also drew a number of crosses on the letter written just before his
death. This was shocking because orthodox Jews never use crosses, and they
even discourage the use of the plus sign because it could be mistaken for a
cross. (29) The Effects of Global Sinning! The entire world is beginning to
feel the heavy effects of global sinning and rebellion against the Almighty
Creator. In the United States, the economy is so far gone that it is on life
support. The government doesn't want you to think about that, but even the
biggest optimists are finding themselves whistling in the graveyard to keep
their courage up! Something spiritually strange is going on regarding all of
this. On Labor Day weekend of September, 2007, the annual Burning Man Cult
met in the dusty, storm-driven desert just north of Reno, Nevada. Every year
this counterculture of over 50,000 anti-corporate, anti-capitalist radicals
meet at this place in the desert that they call Black Rock City, where they
burn a giant image of a man as a ritual. In 2007, the gathering drew New York
business executives and Wall Street tycoons there to join in the ritual of
the Burning Man. (30) Since that time, the economy of the United States took
a dramatic downturn. One of countless examples of
America's current condition is Shaker Heights, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland.
The streets are empty, trash rolls with the wind like tumbleweeds, and nearly
every house is empty. Thieves have stripped homes of plumbing, siding, and
doors. Shaker Heights is literally a ghost town. (31) In Isaiah 5:9 we can
read of this very condition as follows: "In mine ears said the Lord of
hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without
inhabitant." Recently, the U.S. Government
approved an economic stimulus package which will give taxpayers and certain
select groups of people a check to be used as spending money. Most taxpayers
are to receive $600.00. The U.S. Government is hoping everyone will quickly
spend this money to boost the sagging economy. The problem is that the many
billions of dollars being sent to Americans is coming from money our
government is borrowing from Red China. If Americans spend this money, and
they will, the vast majority of it will be spent on products made in Red
China. Thus, Red China benefits greatly, including profiting from the
interest on this mammoth loan. America is truly under Divine
judgment in many ways. I am sad to say that our nation has become abominable
primarily because people-in-general just don't care. Apparently, we are a
sick nation, and Isaiah 1:5 describes our current condition so well:
"Why should ye be stricken any more? Ye will revolt more and more: the
whole head is sick, and whole heart faint." It is interesting to note
that the number of drug prescriptions in America has increased in the past
twelve years by 61%. This amounts to 3.4 billion prescriptions, and this
works out to at least one prescription for every man, woman, and child in
America. (32) America is a nation plagued with a
moral and social distemper that staggers the imagination of any thinking and
discerning person. Our nation's capital of Washington, D.C., now has the
highest AIDS infection rate among all U.S. cities. One person in fifty, or
12,400 people, are known to have this disease in our prestigious capital.
(33) We are also experiencing mass shootings in public places, and it is
becoming an ever-increasing occurrence. Many of these are programmed to do
these horrible acts through mind-control techniques. In every case, the
shooters are described as showing no anger, but rather a blank look is on
their faces and their actions are done methodically. When we look at all that has
happened and is happening, we are made to wonder where the Christian
restraint is. The sad fact is that the organized religions, and especially the
fundamentalists, have become show places for satanic activity and
entertainment. People have forgotten how to pray and know nothing about
fighting Satan. Gift shops that are called "Christian" feature such
things as figurines of Jesus on a chopper motorcycle wearing biker clothes, a
crown of thorns, and a white cape blowing in the wind. (34) Another
"Christian" distributor features t-shirts with a picture of a left
hand forming the el cernuno satanic salute with the words "A Sign from God."
(35) A church near Charlotte, North
Carolina, is sending staff members to local bars and taverns to hand out shot
glasses to invite patrons to give their church a shot. (36) In San Francisco,
California, Ebenezer Lutheran Church is conducting a "Christian Goddess
Rosary" every Wednesday night at 7:00 P.M. Using the words "Hail
Goddess full of grace", they do not refer to Mary but to the Almighty,
who they believe is a female. (37) In Las Vegas, Nevada, there is an
association of prostitutes who wear tight-fitting, revealing clothing with
tops that say "Hookers for Jesus" and "J.C.'s Girls."
They go out among people telling them that God loves hookers, strippers, and
porn stars such as they are. The girls say they never preach and are not
judgmental. (38) Truly, judgment is coming, and God's
wrath will be poured out in great measure. We are already seeing continual
freak weather of tornadoes - forty or more at a time, violent snow and ice
storms, and other catastrophes. In the first nine days of February, there
were nine powerful earthquakes above magnitude six and swarms of quakes in
some areas. (39) We also know that a giant telescope as high a a seven-story
building has been built at the earth's South Pole, and University of Chicago
cosmologist Dr. John Carlstrom explains why. They are looking to find out
more about what they call "dark energy." Dr. Carlstrom said,
"Dark energy is a mysterious force so powerful that it will decide the
fate of the universe. Having already overruled the laws of gravity, it is
pushing galaxies away from each other." All of this is happening at a
rapid and accelerating rate of speed. (40) What is dark energy? No one knows,
but it is now changing our entire universe. Without a doubt, our Lord is
coming quickly. Seek Him now, while He may be found! In closing, I want to once again
thank all of you who support this end time prophetic ministry. God bless you
exceedingly is my prayer for you. Remember to send us your prayer requests,
and our prayer teams will give them individual attention. Grace and peace be
unto you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. David J. Meyer Acknowledgements 01. Front Page Magazine, Feb. 1,
