Operation Brimstone ~ you know like "Fire & Brimstone", what God in the Old Testament said He would next use to punish the World [I am NOT making this up] ~ is a very powerful US/UK/French naval battle force (three carriers and lots of other warships) engaged in at-sea war games in the Atlantic Ocean at this moment. If by the end of this month ~ a few days ~ Iran does not capacitate to the demands by six neo-con 'world powers' demands (to end their maybe non-existent nuclear weapons program and legal uranium enrichment program) then a formal act-of-war under international law will be initiated. This shall take the form of a air/land/sea blockade of Iran for certain key economic necessities (such as refined energy products), necessary to ensure the continuation of their society.

This will almost certainly begin the Third World War. It may take a month or two to unfold and play out over six months or so~ or it may go nuclear and advanced biological in less than two weeks ~ but it is certain to take the entire World into its darkest nightmare in human history.



Watching this play itself out is like watching a slow motion train wreck from before the wreck through to the bitter end.

From 9/11/01 till 9/11/08 has been a 'seven year period' of war, growing police state laws, and now economic crisis of ever-growing scope ~ rather like the Tribulation mentioned in the Bible. I mention this because, besides the "Operation Brimstone" name, what is unfolding is so massive and dramatic in scope ~ far greater of an impact, and compacted into a more "intense" shorter time frame of 21st Century warfare, than World War I or even World War II had on the human race ~ that it is literally biblical in scope. The period of regional wars (Afghanistan and Iraq), the Tribulation of the last seven years, is now morphing into global/World War involving nuclear and advanced biological strategic weapons of mass destruction.

Reality in geo-political military strategy and global grand strategy is like space chess ~ played on several levels.

On the level of the stated neo-con objective, using American power to make the Middle East safe for Israel, the neo-con strategy is a failure and about to become terminally so.

On the level of certain globalist super-elites, there is a "need" to "thin the herd". In other words, there are too many "unnecessary eaters" ~ us ~ in the world and a nice brief but hyper intense world war will allow a restructuring of things ~ a global corporatist restructuring of the corporatist one world/New World Order. Too bad most of us have to die to make it happen; of course, the rest get to be corporatist slaves in a new high tech police state with RFID chips/etc/etc.

If you want to live, you will begin to purchase enough food, gas, medicine, water, necessities for at least six months and be ready to self-quarantine yourself and your family. Things are apt to get "most interesting" over the next couple of weeks to six months.

World War III - what a gift for our children

Lord Stirling (and fellow concerned citizens),

I have pondered several of your recent articles, and as advised, felt it wise to prepare for a period of family isolation. Your info is both critical and time-sensitive. Knowledge can certainly create empowerment.

However, after resuming my teaching position in two short weeks, how do I stand before these innocent children pretending they have a rosy future? And exactly how does one cope with the thought that today could be the day the other shoe will drop?

In short, how does one become Emotionaly Prepared for a disaster of this magnitude??

A non-Biblical more authentic simple solution

Quite honestly I do not think the Bible quite matches, what Jamasp has foretold in the oldest book in the world, namely the Zend-Avesta. Many need to consult older more genuine documents, before making any conclusions on Iran.

As an a Astrologer, and one who comments on current affairs, I have seen countless stories like the one above. We were supposed to have had WW III a few month ago, with all those awkward planetary aspects then.  Our very very ancient Astrologer Jamasp, very accurately predicted the coming of Arabs, some ten thousand years ago. It is actually, just a brief episode in the very long history of Iran.

The problem at hand does not need any military armada of any sort.  And the solution is remarkably simple.  It needs the media of the world, to inform the Seyyeds, that they have no power, if the people of Iran decide to not run the factories and stay at home. Once the world media decides to ask these questions, and the Seyyeds realise how pathetically weak they are against a non-violent general strike, then their time is over.

Trust in Jesus

Thanks Sandra for your nice comment. I taught (seventh grade homeroom) many years ago and I understand what you are saying. However, you don't have to solve the problems of the times. If what I, and many others, believe is happening (the End Time) is correct, then don't worry. Those innocent children will have a rosy future, granted with some months of not so good times but the Bible tells us that Jesus will return (and in fact were it not for His return all of mankind would perish). He will make it alright. Those who pass away, and are with God, will be just fine. And our world will see a thousand years of peace, in the New Earth that His return will usher in.

I approach what is happening from two widely different directions. The first is that of someone who has worked in advanced warfare; who knows what the modern technology of war can do. The second direction is that of a Christian who sees the tie-in between the evil unfolding and events foretold long long ago in the Bible.

It will be ok. The hard times will not last too long and then we will see a New World and a New Heaven and all will be made whole and well. Just trust in Jesus. It will be ok.

I believe, very deeply, that the message he delivers will actually change and save this world. It's what everyone needs to hear. You can read it at http://reformationcomingsoon.bravehost.com

Trust in God, and the Spirit of Truth

The prophesied son of man, the witness and servant of God, and the messenger for the Spirit of truth, is already here.

I quote an excerpt from one page of highlights from his message:

The message from the Spirit of truth is designed not to condemn, but to educate; not to punish, but to correct; and not to destroy, but to save.

The message is designed to bring a reformation of all religions, particularly of Christianity, Judaism and Islam, to reconcile all religious conflict, and establish the true family of religions.

Therefore it is very important and crucial to understand that the messenger is not God "Himself" and he is not a king. He does not claim divinity for or of himself, nor does he seek personal power or office as head of church or state. He merely delivers the prophesied message from God and the Spirit of truth, because it is the truth, and nothing but the truth, that the world needs.

At this time the messenger is not to be considered as a Christ or a Buddha or an Avatar or a King. He is a spiritually anointed witness of God, but he is merely a messenger and is a fellow servant of God, and not "holier than thou." In fact, he is a prodigal son of man who fell from grace and was stricken and afflicted, and even though he serves as the messenger of God and the Spirit of truth, that does not mean that he is "holy." For only God is the Holy One, and the messenger serves God because he acknowledges the supremacy of God and the fallibility of man, including himself.

"He is my witness and my servant whom I have chosen, so you may know and believe me, and understand that I am the Holy One. Before me there was no God formed, and neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the Lord God, and beside me there is no Savior." (Isaiah 43:10-11)

Contrary to traditional Christian belief, that does not speak of the Christ Jesus, even though Jesus was also a servant of God. It speaks of this witness and servant of God. For according to Jesus himself, the one who will fulfill both the Judaic and Christian prophecies glorifies God the Holy One in heaven, and also glorifies the Christ who is with God in heaven.

You see, the mortal Christ Jesus, also a son of man, spoke of the one to come in several ways, as a son of man who would first be rejected by his generation, and also as a messenger for the Spirit of truth.

However, Jesus spoke of the Spirit of truth in two ways. The first way was as the Spirit who can visit us individually through revelation and epiphany. For Jesus said: "Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not and does not know him. But you shall know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you... Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more ... [And one] day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you." – John 14:17-20

The other way Jesus spoke of the Spirit of truth was when he spoke of the one who would deliver a message to all humanity. In that instance he spoke of that one also as the "Comforter," which also refers to two entities, one ethereal and one mortal. For while the Comforter is on one hand the "Holy Ghost" or Holy Spirit, it is also a mortal son of man who serves the Spirit of truth, and the following makes that more clear.

Jesus also said: "I tell you the truth; It is to your advantage that I go away: for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him to you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in me [or my teachings]; of righteousness, because I go to our Father [to heaven] and you see me no more; of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth. For he shall not speak of himself [but serve only as messenger]; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he declare, and he will show you things to come. He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine, and shall declare it to you." (John 16:7-15)

That clearly reveals that because Jesus had to go away and we would see him no more, he would send someone delivering the message from the Spirit of truth and the Comforter, who will issue the judgment, guide humanity unto the truth, show you things to come, and glorify and declare the testimony of the Christ in heaven.

However, while the Spirit of truth and Comforter can influence and inspire individuals through spiritual revelation or epiphany, the Holy Spirit-Consciousness of the Ancient One needs a messenger, a son of man, to convey and deliver the message to all humanity. It couldn’t happen otherwise. And the message reminds all the world of what the enlightened ones taught; to guide us unto the truth, clarify the truth, show us things to come, and deliver the judgment in writing so that the message can be delivered to all humanity.

But again, the messenger is not a leader in the usual sense of the word, and he readily admits that he is not the Holy One but serves the Holy One, and that he merely shows the way from behind the scenes. But, because of that, people do not believe him and reject him, as Jesus prophesied.

Isaiah wrote about that too, and I will show you instances of that. But first please look at how the Christ Jesus spoke of the messenger for the Spirit of truth in other ways as well.

For example, Jesus said: "For as the lightening that lightens one part under heaven shines unto the other part under heaven, so shall also the son of man be in his day. But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected by his generation." (Luke 17:24-25)

Of course, traditional Christian belief is that Jesus was speaking of himself there, but that misunderstanding was because Jesus did speak of himself when he said something very similar. That is, Jesus said of himself: "this son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain."

That is indeed similar, which is why it was assumed that what is written in Luke 17:24-25 (about the son of man first suffering many things and being rejected by his generation) was also about Jesus. But it was not. Granted, Jesus certainly was a son of man. He certainly was rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and he certainly did suffer and was slain as a martyr and sacrificial lamb of God. However, his suffering was not first or beforehand. It was only at the very end of his life and after his mission was fulfilled, whereas the modern son of many has suffered first (see the page titled Author’s Personal Note, which explains his suffering).

Furthermore, even though Jesus was rejected by those in power (by the elders and chief priests and scribes), he was not rejected by his generation. In fact, Jesus was accepted by multitudes from every generation at the time. That is made clear throughout the book of Matthew and in the book of Luke. It was also confirmed by an impartial Jewish historian, Flavius Josephus, who wrote at the time that Jesus "won over many Jews and many of the Greeks."

Unfortunately, the truth has not been understood because there are certain phrases written in the Christian gospels that have contributed significantly to myth of the "second coming" of the Christ Jesus. Many Christians cling to phrases like those that speak of the Christ’s "appearing," not understanding what they really mean.

Excerpted, quoted from, and continued at:

http://reformationcomingsoon.bravehost.com/RealProphecies.html

The message from the Spirit of truth, delivered by the current son of man, is the "stone that shall shatter the image of the King of Babylon, and the stone shall become as a great mountain that fills the whole earth."

Caesar's Messiah

CAESAR'S MESSIAH; A SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Our understanding of Jewish and Christian history has changed dramatically with the publication of Caesar’s Messiah by Joseph Atwill (Ulysses Press), which had previously been privately published under the title The Roman Origins of Christianity. According to Atwill, the Gospels are not accounts of the ministry of a historical Jewish Jesus compiled by his followers sixty years after his death. They are texts deliberately created to trick Messianic Jews into worshipping the Roman Emperor ‘in disguise’. The essence of Atwill’s discovery is that the majority of the key events in the life of Jesus are in fact satirical: each is an elegant literary play on a military battle in which the Jewish armies had been defeated by the Romans. This is an extraordinary claim-but supported by all the necessary evidence.

 

Why would the Romans go to the trouble of writing and disseminating such a text? The Jewish War, culminating in the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE, had devastated the Mediterranean economy, and the Romans were anxious to prevent another messianic outbreak, which could easily lead to another 500,000 deaths-as the Bar Kochba revolt would demonstrate a generation later. In order to make any reconstruction of the country lasting, the Romans needed to offer the Jews alternative stories that would distract them from the messianic messages inherent in the Torah, and persuade them to accept Roman values.

 

According to Atwill, the Romans’ solution to these problems was to create a special kind of post-war propaganda. They called it in Greek evangelion, a technical term meaning “good news of military victory.” In English, it is translated as “gospel.” The name is in fact ironic humor: the Romans were amusing themselves with the notion of making the Jews accept, as the actions of the Messiah Jesus, what were in fact literary echoes of the very battles in which the Romans had defeated the Jews’ armies. A further joke was buried in unmistakable parallels between the life of Jesus and that of Titus: in worshiping Jesus, the Jews who adopted Christianity, as it came to be called, were in fact hailing the Emperor of their conquerors as god.

 

To replace the Torah, then, the Romans created a literary equivalent, the gospel of Matthew (and shortly thereafter the Hellenistic and Roman versions known as Luke and Mark). The central literary character, called Jesus (or Joshua) inhabits a plot with various peculiar features: he begins his efforts by the Lake of Galilee; sends a legion of devils out of a demon-possessed man and into pigs; offers his flesh to be eaten; mentions signs of the destruction of Jerusalem; in Gethsemane a naked man escapes; Jesus is captured at Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives; Simon denies knowing him; he is crucified with two other men and only he survives; he is taken down from the cross by a man called Joseph of Arimathea; his disciple John survives but his disciple Simon is sent off to die in Rome; after his death his disciple Judas dies by eviscerating himself.

 

Each of these peculiar events has a parallel in the writings of Josephus, our main record of the military encounter between the Judeans and their Roman conquerors-even to the unusual crucifixion in which three men are crucified, and a man named Joseph takes one, who survives, down. To give a flavor of the humor buried in this grand Roman joke, we see that where, in Josephus, the crucifixions take place at Thecoe, which translates as the "Village of the Inquiring Mind," the gospel's satiric version takes place at Golgotha, or the "Hill of the Empty Skull."

 

Events at the Lake of Galilee launch the Judean careers of both Titus and Jesus. There Jesus called his disciples to be 'fishers of men'. There the Roman battle took place in which Titus attacked a band of Jewish rebels led by a leader named Jesus. The rebels fell into the water and those who were not killed by darts "attempted to swim to their enemies, the Romans cut off either their heads or their hands" (Jewish War III, 10). Men were indeed pulled out of the water like fish.

 

As for the episode of the Gadarene swine-in which demons leave a Gadara demoniac at Jesus' bidding and then enter into a herd of 2,000 swine, which rush wildly into the lake and drown-Josephus recounts the Roman campaign in which Vespasian marched against Gadara. In the same way that the demons were concentrated in one demoniac, Josephus describes the faults of all the rebels being concentrated in the one head of the rebel leader John. Then, rushing about "like the wildest of wild beasts," the 2000 rebels rushed over the cliff and drowned.

 

To take a third example, Josephus describes how Titus went out without his armor (and therefore to a soldier metaphorically naked) in the garden of Gethsemane, was nearly caught and had to flee. The parallel in the gospel of Mark is a naked young man who appears from nowhere in the Garden of Gethsemane and flees.

So far over dozen of these parallels have been identified -many of which had already been discovered by other scholars. But Atwill is the first researcher to have identified the overall pattern. The pattern in each case is the same. This fulfills the criterion for 'good' parallels set out by James R. Davila in his paper 'The Perils of Parallels', University of St Andrews Divinity School, (April 2001), which states that "patterns of parallels are more important than individual parallels" and "the larger and more complex the pattern of parallels, the more we should take them seriously."

 

Since the events occur in Josephus in exactly the same order as their counterpart events in the Gospels, probability theory can then be used to assess the likelihood that this might be due simply to chance, or instead, that one source copied the other. The calculation shows that it is over 99.9999% certain that one account was written based upon the other. This calculation takes a conservative approach that assumes that, once used, each of the eleven items could not be used again. The probability is thus calculated as 11 factorial, or 11x10x9x8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1 .This would equal 1 chance in 39,916,800. Expressed as a percentage, this means that it is 99.999997% certain that one account influenced the other. In other words, the likelihood that these parallel sequences occurred by chance is less than 0.000003%--effectively zero. (The alternative approach would assign truly random possibilities for each of the events, in which case the odds are calculated as eleven to the eleventh power, or one chance in 285,311,670,611, for an even more remote probability of 0.0000000003%.)

 

Since it is impossible to imagine that the Romans would have invented accounts of battles taking place in locations marked 50 years earlier by the ministry of Jesus, we need an alternative explanation, of which there is really only one, and it is Atwill's in Caesar's Messiah. The Gospels were written in the late 70s and 80s CE, about the same time as Josephus' The Jewish War. Key events in the life of Jesus were written as literary satires of the Roman battles, ambushes, crucifixions, cannibalisms, etc., in the military campaign of Titus Caesar, as recounted in Josephus. Rather than four different communities separated in time and space writing the NT Gospels (the traditional understanding), they were written together as a single literary undertaking-possibly at the Imperial Court. The Jews who ended up following the false Messianic literary character 'Jesus' would, unbeknownst to them, really be worshipping the Emperor Titus.

 

Perhaps the most important new evidence for the ahistoricity of Jesus is the reading that Caesar's Messiah provides of a critical passage in Josephus' other major work, Jewish Antiquities. This is the famous 'Testimonium' passage in which is supposedly the major independent textual source for the historical existence of Jesus. Atwill demonstrates that this text is genuinely by Josephus. However, when read in context with the surrounding passages, it amounts to a confession admitting that the Flavian emperors invented the character of Jesus to deceive the Jews into worshipping a false messiah. The reader merely has to read the text as it was originally composed, using a well-known Hebrew compositional technique found in the Book of Leviticus, and known as 'pedimental composition'. This technique gives emphasis to the central passage of text by framing it with mirrored passages either side. (Thus, Leviticus 19, which concerns righteous dealing, is framed by two chapters about prohibitions).

 

Applied to Jewish Antiquities, the Testimonium passage about Jesus is evidently the left hand side of a triptych. The right hand side passage is about Paul, and the figure in the central panel , who is a composite of all three Flavian Emperors, wears the mask of a false god to have sex with a woman he could not persuade with gifts and money. The central focus of the triptych is that the Roman Emperors did not care about 'this business of names' but were willing to pretend to be a false god in order to be worshipped by the Jews. Patterns of word parallelisms link across the three panels of the triptych, to reveal the true story. (For example, the word hedone used for the Emperor's sexual enjoyment is also used-quite inappropriately-for the way that Christ's followers worship him, thereby linking the two stories).

 

Professor Robert Eisenman of California State University describes Atwill's research as rendering contemporary Christian scholarship so challenged that it is now "looking into the abyss". It is worth noting, in this regard, that the general scholarly consensus that there was a historical, Jewish Jesus is itself largely a recent historical idea, traceable to Abraham Geiger in the 1860's. He persuaded scholars that the Gospels were an account of a historical Jewish Jesus, a typical Pharisee of his day. Since then this view, and with it the notion of Christianity as a development of Judaism, has become the dominant paradigm in Christianity. However, as the new discoveries in Caesar's Messiah make clear, this is not just misleading, but a dangerous concession to a false system of belief. The Romans created this new religion deliberately to humiliate the Jews and to keep them in submission. For contemporary Jewish scholars to collude with this Roman literary invention, and to even pretend that this fictional character had historic reality, is the height of irony.

 

In the past, evidence had been put forward to suggest that the NT gospels are literary accounts containing mythological accretions. However, Christians have been able to dismiss that evidence on the grounds that underneath it all there 'must' be a Historical Jesus. Atwill's discovery changes all that. There was no historical Jesus and the Gospels were Roman imitations of Jewish sacred texts created by the Flavian Emperors as ironical 'good news' to deceive the Jews. It is one thing for Christians to use works of literature as their sacred documents. It is quite another for them to continue using what have now been discovered to be deliberate Roman fakes about a non existent Messiah.

How the Meek Shall Inherit the Earth

I quote:

The "meek" (who are the humble, gentle, peaceful and faithful majority of people in the world) shall indeed inherit the earth, because most of us honor, or at least understand and try to live by the real and true spiritual values that have to do with universal love, peace, freedom, equality, justice, mutual respect, fairness, empathy, compassion, understanding, tolerance, forgiveness, charity, and pacifism.

Most of us at least try to abide by the golden rule and divine imperative that is common to all religions, and all good laws of our lands. We realize we should treat others as we would want to be treated if we were them.

Unfortunately, the humble and meek cannot inherit the earth as long as arrogantly proud and militant "religious" zealots have worldly power, and fight and kill to rule the world. In other words, prophecy cannot be fulfilled as long as unfaithful, aggressive hypocrites (those "wolves in sheep’s clothing" who claim to be Christians or Muslims or Jews) have the influence and power to cause so much conflict, division, trouble, violence, death and destruction in the world. And they will have influence and power as long as their spiritually blind flocks continue to support them, do their bidding, and give them power.

Fortunately, as all the greatest prophets foresaw and foretold, there is a divine intervention and judgment that will, in due time, render bad and divisive leadership powerless and contrite in the face of truth. The prophesied message from the Spirit of truth will not only deliver judgment, but guide us unto truth, and show us things to come. And those who do realize their error, become contrite of spirit, and repent, will be forgiven.

Quoted from the beginning of an article titled How the Meek Shall Inherit the Earth, continued at:

The prophesied message is from the Spirit of truth, and is the "stone which will shatter the image of the King of Babylon (Bush), and the stone shall become as a great mountain that shall fill the earth," as the prophet Daniel envisioned and foresaw.

Bang on

You are %100 right and our society would have naturally flowed to total abundance if it were not for an artificial feudalism being put into place. The amazing thing is one of their major mechanisms for doing so is quite apparent. It is in the form of the interest (or usury) that all people pay for to get money from the bank and it is actually responsible for many of the ills not just in our country but on our planet. People in 3rd world countries live in worse conditions because of crushing debt than they would have lived if they stuck to the barter system.

Another readily visible form af aristocarcy is in the properties of the world. By calling a high percentage off the property in the world crown or government they are imposing an artificially high price on the rest. When we first settled these lands we did not have to pay for them they were given and rightly so since our government were only custodians of our society not the owners. Many of these lands can be bought and so they are not all wild life reserves. This is just a means to keep property costs high a disservice to the citizens so taxes could be raised. The proper way our government should of acted if they were truly being represantative custodians would be to lay out which lands to keep as wildlife reserves and then given every family their own single plot of land to own. This is just one example of a multitude of cases of upside down thinking that would have increased everyone prosperity and quality of life exponentially . Instead most of the decisions of our represantatives has lowered our quality of life over the years.

The Branch

 There is a Man called Branch in Zechariah 6 has 7 women take him as his wives in Isaiah 4.  In Zechariah 3 that Branch will lead them to a day when all will sit under his vine and figtree with no one to make them afraid.  He is alo in Jeremiah 23 where they will no longer teach as Moses led them out of the wilderness, and is also called a she in some versions of Jer. 33:15.  He is one of the olive branches who may yet get killed in Rev. 11.  But not even Daniel 12:1 have to cause a great distress.  Nor even does the world court of Daniel 7 have to sit for judgment. (food for thought)

"Operation Brimstone': Vain Folly of Misguided Christians

I quote from commentary just provided on this subject:

July 23, 2008

On "Operation Brimstone"

Despite the fact that in December 2007 U.S. Intelligence Services released information from a report stating that Iran had in fact stopped their nuclear weapons program, George W. Bush has pushed for military action against Iran.

Consequently, on July 21, 2008, U.S., British, French and other military forces launched "Operational Brimstone." It has been implemented as a "practice exercise" by a huge naval armada aimed at giving military teeth to the two-week ultimatum the most powerful world powers gave Iran in Geneva on July 19 to accept the suspension of uranium enrichment or face harsh sanctions and isolation.

The exercise is scheduled to end July 31, two days before the U.S.-European ultimatum to Iran expires. Immediately after the Geneva talks ended in failure, the U.S. State Department issued a statement giving Tehran the option of "cooperation or confrontation."

The name, "Operation Brimstone," is very significant, because it refers to the old "fire and brimstone" idea of "God’s Wrath" being brought down in a "holy war against evil." In other words, the leaders of the U.S., British and French forces are playing God, not understanding what God is.

They do not understanding that all references to "fire and brimstone" reveal that it comes from heaven, and are symbolic of the heavenly forces that deal spiritually with those who are driven by evil, malicious thoughts and desires. Vengeance is the Lord’s, not Man’s, and the weapons of the Lord are not carnal or lethal, but they are mighty through God for pulling down even the strongest stronghold of misused military power. They are also mighty through God for pulling down even the most egocentric, power-hungry, brutal man, with purely spiritual forces. That is why the first Commandment is, You Shall Not Kill.

The arrogantly proud and militant "Christians" and "Muslims" and "Jews" who think God is on their side are ALL wrong. They're all ignorant of God, and they betray God and their religion.

Those who live by the sword shall perish by the sword. Jesus said that for a very good reason. And he said that the meek shall inherit the earth for a very good reason. It is true.

A naval blockade of Iran’s gulf ports will have grave consequences. It will only escalate the conflict, and it is not the way to deal with misguided Muslim extremists. Two wrongs do not make a right. Peacemakers are not warriors who try to "win" the peace by waging war and killing their fellow human beings. Peacemakers are those who make peace, who help adversaries reconcile differences, acknowledge their offenses, and make amends. It takes honesty, forthrightness, and the willingness on all sides to confess their offenses.

Unfortunately, the Western Christian forces, aligning themselves with the Israeli government, will not acknowledge the offenses to the Palestinians, which have been increasing ever since 1917 (see the page titled The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict). And the Muslim extremists, even though they have very legitimate grievances against the Israeli government, the U.S. and the British, will not acknowledge that indiscriminate killing was condemned by the prophet Muhammad, who said that Jews, Christians and Muslims "believe in the same God" (Allah being the Arab name for God).

The worst offender, of course, is Osama bin Laden. But the next worse is George W. Bush, whose "Christian" advisors have told him his war in Iraq is the fulfillment of the prophecy warring "sixth angel" who "poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates..." (Revelation 16:12) They don't realize that chapter is mostly symbolic, just as so many things are in the Bible, and they know not what they do.

Granted, John used that symbolism because bloodshed and killing in Iraq was foreseen and foretold. However, that does not mean this long horrible war must continue, and it certainly does not mean that God caused it or would sanction it. John's symbolism in the Book of Revelation was mainly designed to portray that those who "blaspheme" against God suffer in many ways. But it's not because God is not merciful and loving. In fact, God loves us all and does not want anyone to be killed. It's because those who judge, hate and curse their enemy actually curse or "blaspheme against" God, because they do not realize what God really is. In hating and cursing their enemies they unwittingly hate and curse God and themselves, and they are at war with God and their own spirit-soul.

That is in fact why Jesus said we should not judge, and if we are tempted to judge we should resist not evil but love good, overcome evil with good, and love even our enemy, because our enemy is usually just a reflection of our self.

At the aircraft plants

they have this big machine that shakes a prototype airframe to see how many parts will break or fall off. The earth too will soon be shaken and anything that is not firmly rooted into the bedrock will fall. Perilous times are upon us and many mens hearts will fail them for fear. Just like the days of Noah, many are too busy or just too evil to seek God. One day the door will close and the flood will begin. Dont wait a minute more. Seek the Lord while he may be found. Before you speak he will answer.

MILITANT ATHEIST

This is ridiculous!  What supposedly started as a secular post on the consequences of starting a war with Iran has morphed into a discussion of Bible prophecy among religious fundamentalists.  Its almost as if I had fallen back among the Jehovah's Witnesses that I had the misfortune of my mother joining when I was about six years old and bringing me up among.

There a many potentially disastrous consequences of the U.S. starting a war with Iran but they have nothing to do with religious imaginings written down 2000 years ago.

Regardless of your belief system

Regardless of your belief system, World War III is the direction that the neo-cons are taking us. It will not likely happen soon if they do not attack Iran. If they attack Iran, and this includes a Blockade which is an act of war under international law, the probabilities are very high that things will simply get out of hand. I have several in depth articles on the military technology involved posted on OpEdNews and on my blog EUROPE.

Iran already has advanced biological warfare (ABW), which is a new form of global strategic warfare involving weapons of mass destruction (WMD). When the Soviet Union fell apart the Iranians hired many of the "best and brightest" from the highly advanced Soviet biowar program. They have recombination DNA/genetic engineering technology to create new man-made killer viruses designed for mass death. We, thanks to our neo-con overlords, are close to beginning a war with a nation that has a MAD (mutually assured destruction) environment with us.

In all the years, of the Cold War, that we had a MAD with the Soviet Union both sides were smart enough (sometimes it was a close thing) not to start a war with each other because we knew that "victory would be ashes in the mouth of the victor". The neo-cons are charging ahead regardless of the danger to America, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, NATO, Israel, and the rest of the world. That is so insane that one can only ask if they are crazy or if they are satanic.

In any case, we are headed for a place that will bring the most horrific deaths in human history, and that is only from an attack on Iran and their counter-attack on the neo-con western nations. If history is any judge, the aftermath of the spread of ABW and nuclear fallout and global economic collapse is apt to push the entire world into a even greater stage of total global strategic war. Sadly what I am saying is a logical analysis of the crisis facing the world today. Regardless of your belief system, either the people of the world will force the neo-cons to stop their insane march to our destruction or we will go through hell on earth.

Unfortunately ...

Right-wing religious bigots, whether they claim to be Christians or Muslims or Jews, believe that only a great "holy war between good and evil" (as they judge it) will fulfill prophecy and usher in the coming of the Messiah/Moshiach or Christ or Imam Mahdi.

They do not realize that the prophesied wars and rumors of war have aleady taken place, and are taking place as we speak.

They do not realize that the terrible ordeal and tribulation that was prophesied, which includes not only all the wars, but also the "seven plagues" (diseases, famines, pestilence, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, and droughts) and "many other terrible things," have already been taking place, increasingly as the end of the age draws nearer.

In spite of that, religious bigots and hypocrites are hell-bent on waging "holy war" or "jihad" against the "godless unbelievers" or "infidels."

Ironically, the son of man, the servant-messenger of God is already here and has made his message available. But he waits, rejected by his generation, because religious people accuse him of blasphemy, and agnostics and atheists accuse him of being a religious nut. And this is just as the prophets Isaiah and Jesus foresaw and foretold.

The beauty of his message is that it calls for a reformation of both religion and government, to establish equality of religions and secular government that is actually of, by and for the people, and no longer of, by and for the wealthiest few.

Granted, things will only get worse unless and until enough people in the world get the message.

My hope is that will be sooner, rather than later.
