Marionettes?

Yesterday I read, “Lynn Forester De Rothschild to Back McCain and Not Obama.” This got me thinking about who in the Global Elite is pulling the strings of these two candidates.

Searching the internet for a connection between McCain and Rothschild, I found out that two senior Rothschilds had organised a fund-raising dinner for McCain in London on the return leg of Senator McCain’s visit to Israel.

The Obama and Rothschild search produced nothing substantive. So I looked for an Obama and Rockefeller connection. I found that Senator Rockefeller endorsed Obama for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. presidency, at a pivotal moment in February. Not only that, but Abigniew Brezezinski was chosen at Senator Obama’s foreign relations advisor. Brezezinski co-founded the Trilateral Commission with David Rockefeller, who is the doyen of the Rockefeller clan. The Rockefellers are the American surrogates of the European Rothschilds.

As much as I enjoy watching the contest between Senator McCain and Senator Obama, I don’t have to look far to see the influence of the International Elite. The contestants look rather like two marionettes being controlled by the two hands of the same manipulator.

Who will control the new President?


A responder to my previous blog directed me to an article "Who will control the new President?" found here. This article is in PDF format in the Republic magazine. Click on page 30 in the sidebar.

I cannot vouch for the accusations in the article. The value of the article is that it gives an overall picture of who is pulling the strings. It is two hands of the same group.

Don't let knowledge of behind-the-scenes activity detract from 'the show'. After all, both campaigns are pouring millions of dollars into their production. They are much better than soap-opera

Devout Muslims


Today's local newspaper had an article byMuhammad Abdul Bari (pictured). He is Secretary-General of the Muslim Council of Britain and he wrote: "Muslims living in Paris, London, and Berlin are more religious than the general public."

That would be true for New Zealand also. I have not met a Muslim man with whom I could not get into a discussion about religion. Many of them have shown signs of considerable devotion when we talked of prayers, sin and relating to God.

The New Testament shows us that God’s likes to bless devout people, like Simeon and Anna in the Temple (See Lk 2:25 37), like the devout men at Pentecost and like the devout household of Cornelius. (See Acts 2:5; 10:2)

Devout Muslims are coming to Jesus Christ through Christian friends and through visions of Jesus and through the example of Christian fellowship. I need to remind myself not to get side-tracked with discussions about the Trinity and the Incarnation but to go beyond the arguments to the intimacy with God that these doctrines indicate. Meeting up with Muslims can be a “blessed occasion” like it was for those devout people of the New Testament.

A Robust Faith

Whether we are up against the agents of the NWO or the Islamization of our culture, we need a robust faith.

Jesus encourages a robust faith.

‘Seek first the kingdom…all these other things will be given to you as well.’ [Mt 6:33]
‘Since John the Baptist came, up to this present time, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence and the violent are taking it by storm.’ [Mt 11:12] This is the violence of wrestling and God rewards wrestlers. [See Gen 32:29-31] ‘Have faith in God. In truth I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, “Be pulled up and thrown into the sea”, with no doubt in his heart, but believing that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.” [Mk 11:22-23]
‘In truth I tell you, whoever believes in me will perform the same works as I do myself, and will perform even greater works because I am going to the Father.’ [Jn 14:12]

The Vision of Faith is Massive.

At its core faith is about salvation from sin through the person of Jesus. But faith is not just a "me and Jesus thing". God's plan for saving the world is to use a People that is devoted to him and is immersed in humanity.
This People is called the Church and it's mission is to establish the Kingdom of God in the world right now. That is why the Church is called 'The Universal Sacrament of Salvation.'
When Jesus returns in glory, "The whole of creation itself must be freed from the slavery of corruption and brought into the same glorious freedom of as the children of God." [Romans 8:21]Wow!!


Writing of such robustness, Scot McKnight has a good article "The 8 Marks of a Robust Gospel" in Christianity Today.

A Spirituality for the Conflict

(See Revelation Chapter 13)

End-Time Spirituality

The Bible presents us with conflict from beginning to end, from the "enmity" (Genesis 3:15) between the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman, to the dragon making "war on the rest of her children" (Revelation 12:17). And the New Testament gives us some great images of conflict for end-time spirituality:


· We have the example of Jesus, driven by the Holy Spirit into the desert, where Satan offers him the kingdoms of the world if Jesus would worship Satan. (See Matthew 4:8-11 & parallels)


· St Paul gives us the prophecy of the great apostasy and the coming of the “wicked one” (anti-Christ) who will take over God’s sanctuary. And he encourages us to stand firm. (See 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2)


· The Book of Revelation has a dramatic scene (see Chapter 13) featuring the dragon and the two beasts. The dragon is Satan, the first beast is Caesar, and the second beast represents the advocates of emperor worship.


“Take care that no one deceives you” (Mark 13:5) is the hallmark of this spirituality. Jesus spoke a lot about deception in his end-time talks. Deception is a major weapon of an intelligent enemy.


The ascetical dimension of end-time spirituality is about shouldering the burden that the world gives us as we walk in the path of Jesus (See Mark 8:34-38 and parallels.) It is not so much about fleeing from the world or confronting internal demons or doing great penances as it is about facing the pain of the conflict with the sinful world.


The mystical dimension of end-time spirituality is the realization that God is walking with us as we carry out our mission (See Matthew 28:20 and parallels). As the experience of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane shows, Jesus not only faced the pain, but he was still using the familiar term “Abba” (Mark 14:36) for God and he was encouraged by an angel (See Luke 22:43).


End-time Spirituality is future-oriented. The Spirit, our advocate in the conflict, “reveals the things to come” (John 16:13) and gives us a longing to hear those words from Jesus, when he returns to judge the living and the dead, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” (Matthew 25:21) And as we look at the evil around us now, the Spirit gives us an understanding of what the world will be like when the effects of sin are finally cleaned out and we have a “new heaven and a new earth.” (Revelation 21:1)
