For Those Who Feel Guilt.
Many feel, because of their bad habits and sins they commit in their lives, that Jesus Christ would never accept nor forgive them. Some who are ready and willing to accept our Lord Jesus as Savior, feel they must get their lives under control before they can come to Him. They might even say to themselves, "Jesus would never accept me; I mean, look at all the bad things I've done in my life. Every time I just think about what I've done in my past, it depresses me." All of us, including those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, have done things in our past that we now surely regret. Much of those sins are the way of the flesh, caused by the 'flesh thinking'. There never will be enough time to get your life together by yourself. It will not happen. There is no Salvation through the flesh, as it is destined to perish. As Paul the Apostle would teach:
Rom 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
(KJV)
That spiritual mind of 'life and peace' is not of the flesh, as the flesh will always let us down, falling in sin. All have sinned. None are perfect in the flesh, and this flesh body will still continue to cause sin requiring a further need for repentance through Christ Jesus.
Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
(KJV)
Our spiritual nature in Christ can only be perfect to the Law of God, not our flesh. The flesh always fails in following God's Law. The fleshy life cannot inherit the Kingdom of Heaven, because it is carnal, and condemned to death.
Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.
(KJV)
The flesh body will always fail, as said before, its destiny is to die and perish. The flesh cannot have eternal life and eternal peace (1 Corinthians 15:50). The reason why your soul was placed inside your flesh when you were born, was so you could make a 'choice', to either eternal life through Jesus Christ, or to eternal death, which is the casting into the 'lake of fire'. That's not a threat, but Truth. Eternal 'death' means 'blotted out', gone, just like you never ever existed. It can be no other way, as GOD's Divine Nature is Life and there is no darkness of death in Him, as in the future death will no longer exist (Revelation 21:4). Our heavenly Father does not wish to lose any of His children which He created. That's why we are all here born in the flesh, and appointed once to die and then the judgment (Hebrews 9:27).
When you accept Jesus Christ as The Only One Who can offer Salvation from this bondage state of flesh, believing on Christ as Savior, then His Spirit will begin to dwell in you, quickening your soul and spirit, while you are still walking upon this earth. By His Spirit giving you that 'quickening', He gives you strength and peace, to help overcome this evil world of flesh bondage. And it's yours for the asking.
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the Scripture saith, "Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed."
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek [as for Gentiles]: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved.
(KJV)
What Happens When You Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior?
1) When you realize the flesh always dies, you realize that your flesh cannot save you from its terrible state of death, and that there must be some other Way by a Higher Authority with all Power.
2) When you believe that Jesus Christ is The Son of God, and GOD's Savior, you ADMIT He is That Higher Authority with all Power, and there is none else.
3) When you believe:
A) that Jesus Christ is The Only Begotten Son of God:
B) that He came in the flesh to offer Salvation to all who would only believe;
C) that He only was without sin in the flesh;
D) that He died on the cross and resurrected; and now sits on the right hand of God, and by this act Christ became The Victor over Death;
E) then you recognize that Jesus Christ paid the price for us so that we might obtain Salvation.
4) When you repent to Jesus Christ, and ask forgiveness, confessing to Him that you are a sinner, and believe that He only has the Power to save you from this flesh state of death, and believe all the previous three statements, then you will have received His offer of Salvation. Then Christ's Spirit will dwell in you, even now as He promised His (1 John 4; Ephesians 3:14-19).
These are the steps each must take, and in sincerity, as God knows all hearts and all thoughts. Then after accepting Christ's offer of Salvation, believing on Him, repenting to Him of yours sins and asking Him forgiveness,then go get baptized in Christ's Name.
Our Lord and Savior set the example for us as He Himself was Baptized of water (Matt.3:13-17). So we need to do likewise in obedience to His command (Matt.28:19; Eph.4:4-8; Col.2:11-12; 1 Pet.3:21; Mark 16:15-16; Acts 2:38-39).
John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
When Christ begins to spiritually dwell in you, He will help you to gain better control over the flesh. His Holy Spirit will guide and direct you in sincerity and in Truth as you seek Him further. Get to know His Letter called The Word of God. God personally wrote That Letter to you, which The Holy Spirit will help you understand as never before. Remember to ask our Father through His Son Jesus Christ for His Spirit of guidance in your study of His Word.
The offer of Salvation by Christ is given freely, as our Heavenly Father does love us. He wants us to return to Him as 'sons of God'. Don't wait until you can get your life in order, going it alone. It won't happen. The flesh bondage was created to make sure you can't do your own salvation (Galatians 3:22), ensuring we must rely on Christ Jesus as our Salvation to have eternal Life.
Peace be with you in Christ Jesus,

Bible Study Tools & Helps...
Bible Tools
STUDY TOOLS
There are several important tools for the English speaking student which will help in getting the most accuracy from The Word. These tools are necessary for the serious student. The goal is what The Old and New Testament Manuscripts teach, not just only the many Bible translations based on The Manuscripts.
King James Authorized Version of 1611
Although there are many Bible versions for the English speaking student, a 1611 King James Authorized Version should be the 'final word', in English. It is somewhat difficult for the new student using the King James Version, however, with time and practice, and the use of study tools, it will be found that the King James is the most reliable translation in English. Since understanding our Father's Message is the ideal, no other Bible version is recommended for English speaking students. Any other version than the King James Authorized Version of 1611 which is solely used, will take away from the importance of using a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance. (If you've read my letter on the Massorah, you might be asking yourself about the Companion Bible. The Companion Bible is not a new translation. It contains the King James Authorized Version of 1611.)
Strong's Exhaustive Concordance
This reference gives the English student the ability to take the King James Bible back to the original language manuscripts that the King James translators used. Dr. James Strong performed a great service in providing this work to English speaking students. If you know how to use a standard dictionary, then you can use a Strong's Concordance. It's not that difficult.
It is important, however, to get a Strong's Version which contains the Hebrew and Greek dictionary Lexicons, for that is where the meat is. Don't settle for any other version. Another note on getting a copy of a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance. There are some new and improved Strong's editions of late that edit out some of Dr. James Strong's original work. Beware of that working also. Don't settle for less than the 'original' Strong's Exhaustive Concordance version that has not been edited.
You may be asking why a Strong's is important. The original King James Version of 1611 contained a letter of introduction to King James and to the reader pointing out some of the imperfections dealing with that translation. I believe you can still obtain a copy of the original Old English first edition King James Version of 1611, with the italicized words and margin notes, from Thomas Nelson Publishers in Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
The Companion Bible
This is the 1611 King James Version study Bible which I highly recommend. It is not a new translation. As a matter of fact, It contains more of the items in the original King James than any other later printed version. The Companion Bible has outlined 'structures' based on the topics of each Biblical Book and Chapter, along the side margins. The structure outlines follow the Biblical Chapters and verse sections so that the student can always follow the current object and subject within Scripture. These structures are from The Holy Spirit, because their 'order of appearance' happens in only one form of literature known to man, our Holy Bible.
Another important item contained in The Companion Bible is the Massorah notes. The Massorah are notes within the most reliable original Hebrew Old Testament manuscripts (the manuscripts handed down from the time of Ezra and Nehemiah, the prophets). These original manuscript notes in Hebrew are found along the sides, top and bottom, and in-between the columns of Hebrew manuscript text. The Massorah has two parts; one to tell the scribe of the Hebrew texts whether their hand written copy is in good order, and the other contained footnotes on the interpretation of Scripture. The Massorah, when consulted, insured the one true understanding of many Old Testament Scriptures.
Only one English speaking Christian scholar, C.D. Ginsburg, was allowed to compile the Massorah from all the most reliable Old Testament Hebrew manuscripts (they were dispersed in many countries) in a very rare work called, The Massoretico Critical Texts. Many of these Massorah notes are contained in only one study Bible today, and that is The Companion Bible. This version of the 1611 King James also has a wealth of information in the Appendixes that took years of study. This is truly a magnificent Work and only appeared in print again around 1990. I highly recommend It. Hit the link below to go to their Bookstore online, and then enter the keyword search 'Companion Bible'.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon and Brown Driver & Briggs Hebrew Lexicon
Remember all those genealogies in The Word? They have messages too, otherwise God wouldn't have put them there. The Thayer's Greek Lexicon and Brown Driver & Briggs Hebrew Lexicon will help in translating Biblical names and places. Some parts of God's Word are almost impossible to grasp in the King James without translating the names back to the original languages. Once translated, the message becomes obvious.
For example: In the Book of Ezra, the House of Judah was returning to Jerusalem out of the captivity of Babylon for 70 years. When Ezra the prophet got to Jerusalem with the people, he noticed there were no Levite priests that returned, so he sent back word to get Levitical priests. It was a sad state, because even many Levites, who were commanded to remain pure in their bloodline, had taken wives of the nations and mixed with the Canaanites during the Babylonian captivity. One particular Levite priest that returned to Jerusalem was named 'Mahli'. The reference Brown Driver & Briggs translation of this Levite priest Mahli is 'Machliy' in the Hebrew, meaning 'sick'. Do you think that's a coincidence? Here's the translation from the Hebrew of another of the Levite priests who returned. Sherebiah, a Levitical priest who returned with Mahli, is 'Sherebyah' in the Hebrew, meaning "Jehovah (Yaweh) has scorched". Each of these brought their brethren with them, and you'll also find that two hundred and twenty Nethinims (given to Temple service), who were of the nations returned along with them. These Nethinims were non-Israelite slave Temple workers assigned to the Levites; according to God's Law they weren't supposed to even be allowed near the altar, and here they were doing the priest's chores.
Computer Bible Software
I recommend Bible software written by Biblesoft. They sell Bible reference software in modules, so you can get what you need, then add on more modules later. They have all the references mentioned above, and more, except The Companion Bible. One particular module called The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge is outstanding. With it you can do a context search from a Biblical verse that will bring up other parts of The Bible based on the subject of that verse, or chapter; not just on the key word you did the search from. You can have multiple windows open, compounding search on top of search, and the number of windows open at one time is only limited by computer memory. Click below to go to their site.

Vine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words
A monumental work by W.E. Vine, which helps the Bible student to learn the meanings of Biblical Hebrew and Greek words. Many of these are individual 'word studies' contained within this work by Vine. An excellent study tool to parallel with Dr. James Strong's Concordance for The King James Authorized Version of 1611.
The Interlinear Bible: Hebrew-Greek-English
The Interlinear Bible by Jay P. Green, Sr, the editor and translator, is a copy of the Hebrew Massoretic text manucripts first set in 1866 by the British and Foreign Bible Society. The Greek text of The New Testament is the Received Text set by Stephen Austin and Sons for the Trinitarian Bible Society in 1976. It is based on The New Testament in the Original Greek According to the Text Followed in the Authorized Version, edited by F.H.A. Scrivener as published in 1894-1902.
To better explain just what The Interlinear Bible is, here's a Preface note from Jay P. Green, Sr. The Interlinear Bible:
"An interlinear Bible is the next best thing to a formal course in the Hebrew and Greek languages. Until now, however, an interlinear Bible has not been available to students of Scripture who speak English. Through the use of The Interlinear Bible, one can utilize the lexicons, word books, and other aids published during recent decades. One need only learn the Hebrew and Greek alphabets (see page viii), the work of a few hours." (From The Interlinear Bible by Jay P. Green, Sr., Preface notes.)

The 10th Commandment
The Tenth Commandment
"Thou Shall Not Covet"
Exodus 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
Deuteronomy 5:21 Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.
Does it still apply today?
Because of the the simple wording of the commandment, and the specific things mentioned, some may feel that it doesn't seem to apply to us today, but the spirit of the law carries through all time. The purpose of this lesson is to show the importance of this commandment today.
Some will say that the law was nailed to the cross at the crucifixion of Jesus. That is true, but only the portion that dealt with His advent and sacrifice for our sins, that is, the laws dealing with sacrifice. He fulfilled that law and it was taken away because it no longer applies, but has the law against murder been cancelled? Or stealing? Or adultery? Of course not.
The tenth commandment is no exception. All of God's law was given for a reason. To make us aware that it is in force and effect just like any other law. The law of gravity for instance. We find out early and quickly about the law of gravity. It doesn't have to be written down for us to learn it well. Some laws have to be revealed to us because they are not as apparent, although the penalty is still there as surely as the one that comes when we violate the law of gravity. The tenth commandment is like that.
So, what's the problem?
The tenth commandment could be called the ignored commandment, because it is the one that is overlooked the most. We are always aware of other commmandments like, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not commit adultery. We always remember these, don't we? But, we are seldom actively conscious of thou shalt not covet.
The problem is that the effects for disregarding it can be absolutely devastating, and ignoring it is sin. That's the problem.
What is sin?
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law
What a simple definition of sin! Read it again. Sin, in whatever form, is breaking the law and that includes the tenth commandment.
James, our Lord's brother, alludes to this in his letter to us.
James 1:14-15 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Why is it important not to sin?
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So, it is important not to sin for the penalty is ultimately death. But, sin also brings other penalties in this life while we are in the flesh body. We reap what we sow!
Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Why is awareness of the spirit of the tenth commandment important?
Okay. So it is sin, but why is the tenth commandment so important? Surely other commandments, like the one that says not to murder are far more important and that is why we remember them.
On the surface that would seem to be true but what causes us to commit murders? Again, James says it best.
James 4:1-3 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
Murder is a very serious crime (I John 3:15), but as James points out above, lusting (coveting) is very often what leads to murder. It also leads to fornication and adultery, to stealing, and to bearing false witness. It can even lead to neglecting the needs of our aged parents, which is a gross violation of the commandment to honor thy father and thy mother.
1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Jesus sternly warns us.
Luke 12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
What are some examples of ways we break the spirit of the tenth commandment today without knowing it?
By participating in any fraudulent scheme where someone loses in order for others to win. Here are a couple of the more obvious ones that are popular today.
Pyramid schemes, for instance, where some few benefit but most participants lose. Pyramid schemes would require more than the entire population of the world to continue after just 10 or so levels. The only winners are those at the top while the vast majority at some point in the process lose their investment. Multilevel marketing can be set up like a pyramid scheme, so be careful!
Casino gambling is a similar example. Casinos are everywhere now and still more are being planned and built everyday. What is wrong with them? They are a problem for us because they take advantage of our covetous nature, and they are somewhat similar to pyramid schemes in that the many lose and only the few win. Through their mesmerizing advertising they convince millions of us every day that we are going to win, but remember this there is always a continuing loss by the players. There has to be or the casinos couldn't stay in business, so the deck is stacked against you.
A few years ago I noticed a sign advertising a well known casino which stated "our slots have a 90 percent pay back". "Well gosh and golly", a casino visitor might say,"that's great pay back". I see it differently. What I see is a constant 10 percent loss by the players to the casino. To me that means for every dollar I put in one of their machines, my average return over the long haul is only 90 cents. That is certainly not good business. Think about it.
In pyramid schemes and casinos many always lose for one to win, and their operating platform is based on our desire to get.
What causes us to covet?
James 4:4-5 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
It is part of your human nature to want to get. It is a natural component of our psychological makeup but when it is unbridled it is called greed. It and our hormones can drive us relentlessly.
There are other influences being impressed upon us.
The underpinning of our western twentieth century culture is the economic system we call capitalism. It might better be called consumerism, because we are a consumerist society and the mechanism employed to encourage us to consume is the constant manipulation of the lust and greed components of our emotions.
A great American died recently, his name was Vance Packard. In the late 1950's he wrote a book called The Hidden Persuaders. It caused quite a stir because it exposed how we are persuaded by the advertising industry to buy, buy, buy, and how they have profoundly shaped the way we think. I recommend that you read this book if you can still find a copy of it. It is a strong testimony of how the greed component of our human nature has been carefully molded by those who are smarter than we without our knowledge.
Day in and day out, we are under constant bombardment from every side with information (mostly advertising) that is designed to shape our thinking and trigger our basic impulses to get. When you walk or drive down the street you may pass hundreds of signs and billboards everyday each of which is designed to catch your attention and activate your desire. When we listen to the radio, watch the television, read the newspaper, or possibly worst of all, peruse our favorite magazine, we are being seduced by the ads. All too often, the pressure to comply becomes overwhelming and the seduction is complete.
A new word has recently been added to our vocabulary. It is edutainment. Television, movies, books and other forms of entertainment are tailored to shape our thinking as well as entertain. The word is new but the practice has been going on for a long time and increases in intensity every day that goes by.
As a consequence, most of us in who have been reared under the influence of western civilization suffer from a chronic psychological disease. I call it chronic shoppers syndrome. When we get bored, we shop. Shop till you drop we say, as if its expected of us, that it is normal. We have let ourselves be totally programmed to shop.
So what, I like to shop! Well, that's okay to some degree but the problem is that we don't pay with cash anymore. We pay with plastic, and that means debt with usury and that leads to problems.
Enticement is everywhere!
Today the compulsion to get is very strong. Prosperity preachers use it against us all the time. They promise you wealth if you will send them money. They are modern day Balaams coveting your money while passing themselves off as servants of God. Ever notice how much time they spend in the moneychanger end of the temple? Ever notice how little meat is in their teaching and how much showmanship? They put out a lot of puffery and hoopla along with a little milk and pablum.
Jude 11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
I don't know any place in the scriptures where God promises you physical wealth in return for giving your substance to other men. Be very careful who you support. Ask our Father for wisdom in this area so that you won't be deceived.
What is the effect today?
Incredible debt is the main thing, with all the attendant problems. The stress level is very high. It seems that half the population of America is on Prozac, or something similar. Unnatural stress affects our health adversely over time, both mentally and physically. Stress can literally kill you.
It can also cause you to act strangely. The pressure that comes from being deeply in debt causes us to do things that we ordinarily wouldn't do. White collar crime mostly, but the need for cash due to debt also results in crimes of violence, muggings, robberies, and even murder. It also results in heavy taxation, fees, tolls, fines, higher interest rates and prices.
But, more importantly, what about the staggering traumatic effects of broken marriages, broken homes, broken hearts and broken lives?
What can we do?
Once again, James says it best.
James 4:7-8 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
You say, But the devil didn't make me do it. You said my own nature and smart people did
That is true, but the smart people are the children of the devil.
The devil has offspring?
Yes he does! They came as a result of his seduction of Eve in the form of Cain, son of the Devil himself.
1 John 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Jesus was speaking to some of the very descendents of Lucifer. They are the tares mentioned in Matt. 13. They do exist and are scattered among us and they have been given the upper hand temporarily
Conclusion.
We live under the influence of Satan's children and they have done a number on us with regards to coveting. Through their programs they have taken advantage of our weaknesses as stated above and they are guilty, but we are the more guilty because we let them do it to us by ignoring the Tenth Commandment.
He that has an ear to hear, let him hear.
I hope by now that you are more aware of the spirit of the Tenth Commandment, and that our disregard for it has resulted in serious consequences. Look around you and consider how many of the problems we have today come as a result of our habitual coveting. We all, every one of us, need to remember the 10th commandment and begin to apply it in our lives. God gave it to us for our benefit.
by an anonymous bible student of S.C.
"Thou Shall Not Covet"
Exodus 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
Deuteronomy 5:21 Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.
Does it still apply today?
Because of the the simple wording of the commandment, and the specific things mentioned, some may feel that it doesn't seem to apply to us today, but the spirit of the law carries through all time. The purpose of this lesson is to show the importance of this commandment today.
Some will say that the law was nailed to the cross at the crucifixion of Jesus. That is true, but only the portion that dealt with His advent and sacrifice for our sins, that is, the laws dealing with sacrifice. He fulfilled that law and it was taken away because it no longer applies, but has the law against murder been cancelled? Or stealing? Or adultery? Of course not.
The tenth commandment is no exception. All of God's law was given for a reason. To make us aware that it is in force and effect just like any other law. The law of gravity for instance. We find out early and quickly about the law of gravity. It doesn't have to be written down for us to learn it well. Some laws have to be revealed to us because they are not as apparent, although the penalty is still there as surely as the one that comes when we violate the law of gravity. The tenth commandment is like that.
So, what's the problem?
The tenth commandment could be called the ignored commandment, because it is the one that is overlooked the most. We are always aware of other commmandments like, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not commit adultery. We always remember these, don't we? But, we are seldom actively conscious of thou shalt not covet.
The problem is that the effects for disregarding it can be absolutely devastating, and ignoring it is sin. That's the problem.
What is sin?
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law
What a simple definition of sin! Read it again. Sin, in whatever form, is breaking the law and that includes the tenth commandment.
James, our Lord's brother, alludes to this in his letter to us.
James 1:14-15 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Why is it important not to sin?
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So, it is important not to sin for the penalty is ultimately death. But, sin also brings other penalties in this life while we are in the flesh body. We reap what we sow!
Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Why is awareness of the spirit of the tenth commandment important?
Okay. So it is sin, but why is the tenth commandment so important? Surely other commandments, like the one that says not to murder are far more important and that is why we remember them.
On the surface that would seem to be true but what causes us to commit murders? Again, James says it best.
James 4:1-3 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
Murder is a very serious crime (I John 3:15), but as James points out above, lusting (coveting) is very often what leads to murder. It also leads to fornication and adultery, to stealing, and to bearing false witness. It can even lead to neglecting the needs of our aged parents, which is a gross violation of the commandment to honor thy father and thy mother.
1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Jesus sternly warns us.
Luke 12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
What are some examples of ways we break the spirit of the tenth commandment today without knowing it?
By participating in any fraudulent scheme where someone loses in order for others to win. Here are a couple of the more obvious ones that are popular today.
Pyramid schemes, for instance, where some few benefit but most participants lose. Pyramid schemes would require more than the entire population of the world to continue after just 10 or so levels. The only winners are those at the top while the vast majority at some point in the process lose their investment. Multilevel marketing can be set up like a pyramid scheme, so be careful!
Casino gambling is a similar example. Casinos are everywhere now and still more are being planned and built everyday. What is wrong with them? They are a problem for us because they take advantage of our covetous nature, and they are somewhat similar to pyramid schemes in that the many lose and only the few win. Through their mesmerizing advertising they convince millions of us every day that we are going to win, but remember this there is always a continuing loss by the players. There has to be or the casinos couldn't stay in business, so the deck is stacked against you.
A few years ago I noticed a sign advertising a well known casino which stated "our slots have a 90 percent pay back". "Well gosh and golly", a casino visitor might say,"that's great pay back". I see it differently. What I see is a constant 10 percent loss by the players to the casino. To me that means for every dollar I put in one of their machines, my average return over the long haul is only 90 cents. That is certainly not good business. Think about it.
In pyramid schemes and casinos many always lose for one to win, and their operating platform is based on our desire to get.
What causes us to covet?
James 4:4-5 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
It is part of your human nature to want to get. It is a natural component of our psychological makeup but when it is unbridled it is called greed. It and our hormones can drive us relentlessly.
There are other influences being impressed upon us.
The underpinning of our western twentieth century culture is the economic system we call capitalism. It might better be called consumerism, because we are a consumerist society and the mechanism employed to encourage us to consume is the constant manipulation of the lust and greed components of our emotions.
A great American died recently, his name was Vance Packard. In the late 1950's he wrote a book called The Hidden Persuaders. It caused quite a stir because it exposed how we are persuaded by the advertising industry to buy, buy, buy, and how they have profoundly shaped the way we think. I recommend that you read this book if you can still find a copy of it. It is a strong testimony of how the greed component of our human nature has been carefully molded by those who are smarter than we without our knowledge.
Day in and day out, we are under constant bombardment from every side with information (mostly advertising) that is designed to shape our thinking and trigger our basic impulses to get. When you walk or drive down the street you may pass hundreds of signs and billboards everyday each of which is designed to catch your attention and activate your desire. When we listen to the radio, watch the television, read the newspaper, or possibly worst of all, peruse our favorite magazine, we are being seduced by the ads. All too often, the pressure to comply becomes overwhelming and the seduction is complete.
A new word has recently been added to our vocabulary. It is edutainment. Television, movies, books and other forms of entertainment are tailored to shape our thinking as well as entertain. The word is new but the practice has been going on for a long time and increases in intensity every day that goes by.
As a consequence, most of us in who have been reared under the influence of western civilization suffer from a chronic psychological disease. I call it chronic shoppers syndrome. When we get bored, we shop. Shop till you drop we say, as if its expected of us, that it is normal. We have let ourselves be totally programmed to shop.

"Easter's" Pagan Roots
The name "Easter" is highly pagan in origin. On this, all scholars agree. This name is NEVER used in the original Scriptures, nor is it ever associated biblically with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. For these reasons, it is preferred to use the term "Resurrection Sunday" or Resurrection Day" rather than "Easter" when referring to the annual Christian remembrance of Christ's resurrection.
Most reference books say that the name "Easter" derived from the Eastre, the Teutonic goddess of Spring. Although this relationship exists, in reality, the origin of the name and the goddess are far more ancient - going all the way back to the Tower of Babel. The origin begins not long after the biblical flood.
The Flood was a divine judgment sent on mankind after evil had become all pervasive and all people everywhere were totally unresponsive to God. The Bible says that "the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually" Genesis 6:5.
It is not difficult to imagine that life must have been almost unbearable at this time in history. God gave humankind a second chance by preserving the righteous man Noah and his family (a total of 8 people).
After the Flood, Noah had a talented, but evil, grandson named Nimrod (Genesis 10:6-10) rebelled greatly against God. The Bible says that he was "a mighty one"[1] Jewish tradition indicates that Nimrod was a tyrant "who made all of the people rebellious against God."[2] It is evident from history that Nimrod was not only a political leader, but also the lead priest of a form of Satanic worship.[3]
King Nimrod, Queen Semiramis (Easter), and Tammuz (the "reincarnated" Nimrod). Nimrod built and organized major cities. The Bible notes that these included BABEL,
Asshur http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Asshur
Nineveh http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Nineveh+
and Calah http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Calah
(Genesis 10:10-12).
If you know anything about ancient history, the mention of these places may send shivers up your spine. For these were cities of great, almost unimaginable practices and perversion. When Nimrod eventually died, the Babylonian mystery religion in which he figured prominently continued on. His wife Queen Semiramis saw to that. Once he was dead, she deified him as the Sun-god. In various cultures he later became known as Baal, the Great Life Giver, the god of fire,
Baalim http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Baalim
Bel
(dictionary.com meaning) - heaven-and-earth god of Babylonian religion, from Akkad. Belu, lit. "lord, owner, master," cognate with Heb. ba'al.
Molech, http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Molech , etc.
"Later, when this adulterous and idolatrous woman gave birth to an illegitimate son, she claimed that this son, Tammuz by name, was Nimrod reborn."[4] Semiramis "claimed that her son was supernaturally conceived [no human father] and that he was the promised seed, the 'savior'" - promised by God in Genesis 3:15. "However, not only was the child worshipped, but the woman, the MOTHER, was also worshipped as much (or more) than the son!"[5] Nimrod deified as the god of the sun and father of creation. Semiramis became the goddess of the moon, fertility, etc.
"In the old fables of the Mystery cults, their 'savior' Tammuz, was worshipped with various rites at the Spring season. According to the legends, after he was slain [killed by a wild boar] he went into the underworld. But through the weeping of his mother... he mystically revived in the springing forth of the vegetation - in Spring! Each year a spring festival dramatically represented this supposed 'resurrection' from the underworld.[6]
Thus, a terrible false religion developed with its sun and moon worship, priests, astrology, demonic worship, worship of stars associated with their gods, idolatry, mysterious rites, human sacrifice, and more. Frankly, the practices which went on were so horrible that it is not fitting for me to speak of them here.
It was at Nimrod's city of Babel that a towering structure was first built in defiance of God as part of their Satanic religion. Archaeological evidence indicates that this was a spectacular pyramid-shaped structure (ziggurat). The Bible tells us that at this time there was only one language in the world and that most of the world's population centered in this area and participated in this religion. It was evident to God that all mankind would soon degenerate into a level of evil that would parallel that of the pre-Flood world. For humanity's sake, something had to be done to slow and frustrate this organization of an evil one world, tyrannical government.
God confused their language, so that they could not understand each other (Genesis 11:7). This is the ultimate source of the world's many languages.) As a result, many people moved away from the area in groups according to their particular new language. Most, if not all, of these people carried their evil Sun-God-based religion with them. They continued to worship the stars and practice all the other pagan rituals of their religion. Some also continued to build pyramids reminiscent of the Tower of Babel as part of this mystery religion. Today, we can still find remnants of these throughout the world (e.g., Iraq, South America, Central America, Egypt, Burma).
Babel was the origin of an idolatrous system that swept the world. The Bible says of her, "Babylon... the nations drank her wine; Therefore the nations are deranged" (Jeremiah 51:7 . The Bible often speaks of the Satanic religions which came from her. The ancient Greek historian Herodotus "witnessed the Mystery religion and its rites in numerous countries and mentions how Babylon was the primeval source from which ALL systems of idolatry flowed.[7] Austen Layard said "that we have the united testimony of sacred and profane history that idolatry originated in the area of Babylonia - the most ancient of religious systems."[8]
Basically, almost every vile, profane and idolatrous practice you can think of originated at Babel with Queen Semiramis, the Mother Goddess and Nimrod. As the people scattered from Babel with their different languages, they, of course, used different names for Nimrod (Tammuz) and Semiramis. Some called the Mother Goddess "ISHTAR" (originally pronounced "EASTER").[9] In other lands, she was called Eostre, Astarte, Ostera, and Eastre. Other names for Semiramis, the Mother Goddess include: Wife of Baal, Ashtaroth or Ashtoreth and Queen of Heaven.[10] The Mother goddess was frequently worshipped as the goddess of fertility - and as a sort of Mother Nature and goddess of Spring and sexual love and birth. She was also worshipped as a mediator between god and man. Sexual orgies and temple prostitutes were often used in her worship and in attempting to gain her favor.
"The egg was a sacred symbol among the Babylonians! They believed an old fable about an egg of wondrous size which was supposed to have fallen from heaven into the Euphrates River. From this marvelous egg - according to the ancient story - the Goddess Astarte (Easter) [Semiramis], was hatched. And so the egg came to symbolize the Goddess Easter."[11]
The idea of a mystic egg spread from Babylon to many parts of the world.[12] In Rome, the mystic egg preceded processions in honor of the Mother Goddess Roman. The egg was part of the sacred ceremonies of the Mysteries of Bacchus. The pagan Druids used the egg as their sacred emblem. In Northern Europe, China and Japan the eggs were colored for their sacred festivals.[13]
The egg was also a symbol of fertility; Semiramis (Easter) was the goddess of Fertility. The Easter egg is a symbol of the pagan Mother Goddess, and it even bears one of her pagan names.
The rabbit is well known as a sexual symbol of fertility. In various parts of the world, religions which developed from Babel also associate the rabbit with periodicity, both human and lunar (Egypt, China, etc.). As you may remember, the Mother Goddess Semiramis (Easter) is associated with the moon. In other words, the Easter bunny symbolizes the pagan Mother Goddess. Annual Spring-time fertility rituals are associated worship of the pagan Mother Goddess and Tammuz, the reincarnation of her husband Nimrod.
"Easter" is simply one of the names of the ultimate pagan goddess - a woman who mightily deceived the world and whose religion has caused untold suffering and misery.[14] "Easter" is clearly an enemy of Christianity, and her son Tammuz was an anti-Christ, a false messiah that ultimately deceived millions.
If you are Christian, it is not difficult to discern the bizarre deception and confusion that Satan has successfully orchestrated. For example, notice the embarrassing irony in these probably well-meant traditions:
On the day commemorating Christ's resurrection, Americans roll decorated eggs on the White House lawn and pretend the Easter rabbit hid them. The same ritual is practiced at some Christian churches.
"In Lancashire [England] on Easter eve boys and men have been in the habit of touring the towns and villages as 'Pace-eggers' begging for eggs before performing the 'Pace-Egging' or Pasch (i.e., Easter) play."[15]
"In Greece each person in a group bangs his red EASTER EGG against the eggs of all the others present in turn, saying 'Christ is risen,' and receives the reply 'He is risen indeed.'"[16]
For centuries Satan watched with twisted delight, as he seduced millions into worshipping people and other created things, instead of the true Creator. Through the millennia, humankind has been easily seduced into participating in every type of perversion. The seductive symbols of the pagan mystery religion that Satan inspired were incorporated into people's everyday lives, even to this day - continuing to obscure the truth of God on this spiritually dark planet. Often this happens because we willingly let it happen. Selfishly and foolishly "all we like sheep have gone astray" (Isaiah 53:6 )
Would it not be a better witness to the world if Christians had never attempted to "Christianize" pagan celebrations - adopting the pagan name "Easter" (Ishtar/Semiramis) in remembrance of Christ? At the very least, Jesus has been obscured by painted eggs and bunnies. Attention is shifted away from spiritual truth and toward materialism (symbolic products, clothing, symbolic candies, and food). Stores merchandise the name of Easter (not "Resurrection Sunday") and sell goods that have nothing to do with Christ's death and resurrection. We naively use symbols and practices that unknowingly perpetuate ancient anti-Christ traditions - symbolic customs followed by the same religious cults that inspired the destruction of great numbers of Christians and Jews. And the Devil laughs at us.

PAGAN ORIGIN
Most reference books say that the name "Easter" derived from the Eastre, the Teutonic goddess of Spring. Although this relationship exists, in reality, the origin of the name and the goddess are far more ancient - going all the way back to the Tower of Babel. The origin begins not long after the biblical flood.
The Flood was a divine judgment sent on mankind after evil had become all pervasive and all people everywhere were totally unresponsive to God. The Bible says that "the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually" Genesis 6:5.
It is not difficult to imagine that life must have been almost unbearable at this time in history. God gave humankind a second chance by preserving the righteous man Noah and his family (a total of 8 people).
After the Flood, Noah had a talented, but evil, grandson named Nimrod (Genesis 10:6-10) rebelled greatly against God. The Bible says that he was "a mighty one"[1] Jewish tradition indicates that Nimrod was a tyrant "who made all of the people rebellious against God."[2] It is evident from history that Nimrod was not only a political leader, but also the lead priest of a form of Satanic worship.[3]
King Nimrod, Queen Semiramis (Easter), and Tammuz (the "reincarnated" Nimrod). Nimrod built and organized major cities. The Bible notes that these included BABEL,
Asshur http://dictionary.referenc
Nineveh http://dictionary.referenc
and Calah http://dictionary.referenc
(Genesis 10:10-12).
If you know anything about ancient history, the mention of these places may send shivers up your spine. For these were cities of great, almost unimaginable practices and perversion. When Nimrod eventually died, the Babylonian mystery religion in which he figured prominently continued on. His wife Queen Semiramis saw to that. Once he was dead, she deified him as the Sun-god. In various cultures he later became known as Baal, the Great Life Giver, the god of fire,
Baalim http://dictionary.referenc
Bel
(dictionary.com meaning) - heaven-and-earth god of Babylonian religion, from Akkad. Belu, lit. "lord, owner, master," cognate with Heb. ba'al.
Molech, http://dictionary.referenc
"Later, when this adulterous and idolatrous woman gave birth to an illegitimate son, she claimed that this son, Tammuz by name, was Nimrod reborn."[4] Semiramis "claimed that her son was supernaturally conceived [no human father] and that he was the promised seed, the 'savior'" - promised by God in Genesis 3:15. "However, not only was the child worshipped, but the woman, the MOTHER, was also worshipped as much (or more) than the son!"[5] Nimrod deified as the god of the sun and father of creation. Semiramis became the goddess of the moon, fertility, etc.
"In the old fables of the Mystery cults, their 'savior' Tammuz, was worshipped with various rites at the Spring season. According to the legends, after he was slain [killed by a wild boar] he went into the underworld. But through the weeping of his mother... he mystically revived in the springing forth of the vegetation - in Spring! Each year a spring festival dramatically represented this supposed 'resurrection' from the underworld.[6]

The Signs of Christ’S Return & The Ene of This World Age (PART 2)
If all of this is news to you, you’re not alone. The powers that be that are shifting us into a One World System operate under strict, methodical secrecy; although we are starting to see a never before shown boldness in their blatant moves towards their goal. But although they try to remain hidden, several past leaders have tried to warn the American people of the existence of secret societies and what would happen if we let the banking industries take over, but we haven’t been listening. So with patience, planning, and diligence, they have infiltrated America and the world. How can we already be in a One World System you might ask? Well, with small steps, time passes, warnings are not heeded, the system is put in place, and we learn to work comfortably within that system. And slowly over time, as more and more control is gained through media and the infiltration of our elected official’s positions by the Globalists, and through the lies and fear they instill, we unwittingly and willingly give up our freedoms one-by-one.
As I’ve mentioned, we’ve received so many warnings over time as to what would happen. But just as the children of Israel did not want to hear the prophecies of captivity from Jeremiah that God said would come to pass, so we ignore the warnings and yell for others to tell us how things are fine, just sit on your couch and be entertained, don’t get off of that couch to change things that are wrong in the world –let someone else do it… Now, as many are just now waking up to what’s going on, they are completely surprised to see they are already in captivity with a shackle on the ankle of their freedom. So they shove their heads right back into the sand. And that’s exactly what a former President warned us of:
“The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists.”– President J. Edgar Hoover
Time and time again, our own past leaders of this country have tried to warn us of the dangers of the type of captivity we would be going into unless we took heed to their warnings, but just as with Jeremiah, we all wanted to listen to those false ones telling us what we wanted to hear.
Just listen to the speech that was made by former President John F. Kennedy two years before his assassination in which he spoke against secret societies.

The speech by John F. Kennedy that preceded his assassination:
The President and the Press: Address before the American Newspaper Publishers Association
President John F. Kennedy
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel
New York City, April 27, 1961
http://www.youtube.com/wat
”The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know.
But I do ask every publisher, every editor, and every newsman in the nation to reexamine his own standards, and to recognize the nature of our country's peril. In time of war, the government and the press have customarily joined in an effort based largely on self-discipline, to prevent unauthorized disclosures to the enemy. In time of "clear and present danger," the courts have held that even the privileged rights of the First Amendment must yield to the public's need for national security.
Today no war has been declared--and however fierce the struggle may be, it may never be declared in the traditional fashion. Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. The survival of our friends is in danger. And yet no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired.
If the press is awaiting a declaration of war before it imposes the self-discipline of combat conditions, then I can only say that no war ever posed a greater threat to our security. If you are awaiting a finding of "clear and present danger," then I can only say that the danger has never been more clear and its presence has never been more imminent.
It requires a change in outlook, a change in tactics, a change in missions--by the government, by the people, by every businessman or labor leader, and by every newspaper. For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.”
Two years after this speech, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated which to this day is surrounded by much controversy over the methods in which it was investigated. The first was by the Warren Commission which an unsatisfied public didn’t believe and demanded another investigation which was conducted and led by Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, and is sometimes referred to as the Rockefeller Commission. The Rockefellers just happen to be part of the banking elite and one of the planners for the One World System. In addition, the Rockefellers are part of a secret society that has met for years, planning the economic outcome of the world, known as the Bilderberger Group which we learned of earlier.
I think you’ll find the following words of our past leaders extremely interesting:

THE INTRODUCTION OF THE ONE WORLD CURRENCY
Another proof of just how close we are to a One World System becomes apparent with the introduction of the world currency introduced just this past June 2009.
MEDVEDEV SHOWS OFF SAMPLE COIN OF ‘NEW WORLD CURRENCY; AT G-8http://www.bloomberg.com/a
By Lyubov Pronina
July 10 (Bloomberg) -- Russian President Dmitry Medvedev illustrated his call for a supranational currency to replace the dollar by pulling from his pocket a sample coin of a “united future world currency.”
“Here it is,” Medvedev told reporters today in L’Aquila, Italy, after a summit of the Group of Eight nations. “You can see it and touch it.”
The coin, which bears the words “unity in diversity,” was minted in Belgium and presented to the heads of G-8 delegations, Medvedev said. The question of a supranational currency “concerns everyone now, even the mints,” Medvedev said. The test coin “means they’re getting ready. I think it’s a good sign that we understand how interdependent we are.”
Medvedev has repeatedly called for creating a mix of regional reserve currencies as part of the drive to address the global financial crisis, while questioning the U.S. dollar’s future as a global reserve currency. Russia’s proposals for the G-20 meeting in London in April included the creation of a supranational currency.
UNITED FUTURE WORLD CURRENCY
http://www.futureworldcurr
On United Future World Currency’s website, listen to what they say about the new World Currency:
The world in a coin. This is our vision, our hope. It is a necessity and a challenge. What seems an impossible dream becomes an inevitable historic, economic and social process. It is an event which is intertwined with the fate of human evolution.
A single currency becomes the premise for an increasingly global planet. A virtual currency capable of speaking a single, comprehensible language to foster humankind's innate desire to go farther, to surpass boundaries, and move towards true principles of peace, freedom, brotherhood and understanding beyond issues of race, political and religious beliefs and party interests.
We are presenting the peoples of nations, governments, institutions, intellectuals, ordinary people, pragmatists and idealists, scholars and, above all, young people - the real protagonists of the future - with a simple, ingenuous yet determined long-term vision for building an ideal bridge with tomorrow and interpreting a dream to transform into reality.
In this program, currency yet again assumes the principle goal which it has had since its invention centuries ago: to facilitate and codify human commercial and social exchange. And become a form of pure "communication" between different peoples - a communication of ideas, ideals, information and culture. This constitutes progress, development and well being.
A World Currency… Money… the unifying factor towards PEACE & BROTHERHOOD? AND that it will bring understanding beyond RELLIGIOUS BELIEFS??? Wow! Now I’ve heard it all! ONLY Christ can bring peace and Globalists would substitute Christ for a piece of cheap metal! It reminds me of another time that Jesus was betrayed for petty coins, 30 to be exact.
Jerome Corsi's latest book "America for Sale: Fighting the New World Order, Surviving a Global Depression, and Preserving USA Sovereignty," available in an autographed edition from WND, devotes Chapter 7 to "The Plan to Destroy the Dollar." This is the first in a series of articles by Corsi on the demise of the dollar. http://www.wnd.com/index.p

Just to let it hit home a bit more, here is one of our nation’s congressmen and 2008 Presidential candidate, Ron Paul.

USURY AS A MEANS OF ECONOMIC SLAVERY – What We SHOULD Teach Our Children In School…
It is interesting to hear how the One World Currency slogans promote with lying words, that money will bring peace and brotherhood when it actually does the opposite and intends to enslave us, as it already has; but it will get worse and you don’t have to look far to see how it is doing exactly that as you look at state of the world we are now in. So how are they enslaving America and how is it going to get worse? Read the words of Thomas Jefferson:
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous than standing armies… If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency… The banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered” Thomas Jefferson 1743-1826
What insight and chilling predictions by the third President of the United States and how true his words have become as we see how the bankers have manipulated the recent Housing Market crash, pushing so many out of house and home. And then President Obama and The Federal Reserve rewarded the bankers with bailout money which our grandchildren’s grandchildren will never be able to pay back?! Thomas Jefferson would turn over in his grave if he knew just how accurate of a prediction he had made. And if you don’t think there was some manipulation going on in the Housing Market, then sleep on sweet Charlotte!
The world, and as it’s leading economic power, The Unites States of America (for now), has fallen deeply into usury at the hands of the banking system. But this plan of economic enslavement has been in the works for quite some time, but it is towards the end of this world age, just before the arrival of the antichrist, that it comes to its complete fullness. An understanding of just how we’ve managed to slip to where we are now, is essential. The strange part is that most people don’t even know that they have become slaves. As we see the World Currency just around the corner, it is important to remember that money is the root of all evil. The scriptures warn us over-and-over again about falling into the entrapment of usury.
Leviticus 25:37 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
Exodus 22:25 If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.
Leviticus 25:35-37 And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee. Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee. Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
But no matter the warnings, we’ve fallen down the slippery slope. Most families live far beyond their means and so far in debt they wouldn’t even know where to start to dig out. And as a nation, we are collectively so deep that we will never dig ourselves out. But this wasn’t all done by accident. It was well devised by the banking elite. Like unwitting fish, we took the bait. Woodrow Wilson saw it after he had naively moved his political career along by accepting considerable campaign contributions from these banking elite and passed legislation that gave them even more power. He obviously regretted what he had done to the American people when we read his words:
“Our great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men… who necessarily, by very reason of their own limitations, chill and check and destroy genuine economic freedom. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction, and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men.” -Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the U.S.
And these quotes just say it all:
“If you want to remain slaves of the bankers and pay for the costs of our own slavery, let them continue to create money and control the nation’s credit” -Sir Josiah Stamp 1880-1941
“A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.” –Thomas Jefferson
I think it’s crucial that those reading this study take the time to open every link to articles and more importantly read them as well as taking the time to watch all of the video links that will aid you in shaking off the strong delusion that some apparently are steeped in. Here is a video which gives a great illustration of our money system. You have to wonder why they do not teach this at the very elementary levels of education considering its importance. There is a very good reason why that I will document that later in this study. For now, let’s see why we are where we are at with our economy.
MONEY AS DEBT
http://video.google.com/vi
After watching “Money As Debt” I’m sure you now have a new understanding of just how dangerous it was for the recent making of Trillions of dollars to supposedly to help get us out of our recent economic crisis. Many readers may be overwhelmed with the all of this being something they’ve never heard about before. But the Global Elite have done their jobs well in keeping most ignorant. Americans live in a bubble, a very well constructed bubble and stepping outside of that may be uncomfortable to say the least. But it’s time to look around and to wake up from the slumber. Although there are many books on the subject, and much information available, many Americans have no idea that the Federal Reserve Bank is owned by private stockholders NOT the American government, and they answer to no one but themselves. And these private stockholders meet in private and determine everything that happens to our economy.
THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS NO MORE “FEDERAL” THAN FEDERAL EXPRESS
It is important to educate yourself as to exactly what’s going on with the Federal Reserve Bank. Here is some basic education that every American needs to learn and it’s long overdue.

Because of heads that are buried in the sand, cable T.V., and busy lives in which many don’t even know the names of their elected officials and prefer it that way. This was all part of the elite’s plan as well. They intend to keep the American public, and the world for that matter, as ignorant as possible in a state of strong delusion.
A FEW GOOD MEN
Congressman Ron Paul ran for president of the U.S. in 2008. Listen to him speak against the handling of our system that is deliberately breaking down and then it becomes obvious just why the banking elite would never allow him to become President.

Although for many it is extremely frightening to open your eyes for the first time and seeing exactly how our system of money and banking works, at the same time, having the truth should feel liberating once the shock wears off. I wonder why we don’t learn these types of valuable lessons in our school system. We’ll touch on just why that is a little bit later.
It’s important to know exactly what economic leaders were telling us decades ago in order to see where we’re at now, and exactly how we got where we’re at today.
Milton Friedman (July 31, 1912 – November 16, 2006) was an American economist, statistician, public intellectual, and a recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. He is best known among scholars for his theoretical and empirical research, especially consumption analysis, monetary history and theory, and for his demonstration of the complexity of stabilization policy. A global public followed his restatement of a political philosophy that insisted on minimizing the role of government in favor of the private sector; something that was NOT adhered to based on the world we live in today.

LEARNING FROM THE PAST
By 1929, Charles Mitchell, President of the National City Bank (which would become Citibank), had popularized the idea of selling stock and high yield bonds directly to smaller investors. Mitchell and a very small group of bankers, brokers, and speculators manipulated the stock market, grew wealthy and helped create the economic boom of that fabulous decade.
Their successes made them folk heroes of the day. The Crash of 1929 chronicles a fateful year through the words and experiences of the descendants of these titans of finance.
In 1929, while the market was rising, seemingly without limits, there were few critics. Based on eight years of continued prosperity, presidents and economists alike confidently predicted that America would soon enter a time when there would be no more poverty, no more depressions — a “New Era” when everyone could be rich.
Instead it was the rich who became richer. Jesse Livermore, a Wall Street insider, drove around town in one of six yellow Rolls Royces. His daughter-in-law describes his two yachts, private railway car and five homes; including an apartment on Fifth Avenue he bought to have a place where he could change clothes for the theater.

So why would they want to crash the dollar and in turn the American economy, to usher in a new system of currency claiming the old way just didn’t work. So it doesn’t take much to realize, we are a breath away from being a One World Economy and the ultimate goal is world government with universal laws. It is definitely a time unprecedented in the history of the world. At the recent G20 Summit in London, it was made pretty clear that we are there. The New World Order is a term that all of the world leaders are referring to as to the age that is now ushering in:

Deception Was My Job - The Testimony of Yuri Bezmenov,
KGB Propagandist - Interviewed by G. Edward Griffin
Just listen to this amazing interview that was done back in 1984 with a former KGB agent who was trained in subversion techniques. He explains the 4 basic steps to socially engineering entire generations into thinking and behaving the way those in power want them to. It's shocking because our nation has been transformed in the exact same way, and followed the exact same steps. One of his assignments was to accompany journalists visiting the Soviet Union to make sure they did not discover the truth about Soviet life. After becoming disillusioned with the oppressive system, he escaped to the West at great risk to his life. In this interview, conducted by G. Edward Griffin, Mr. Bezmenov tells how the Soviets used propaganda against their own citizens; how he hoodwinked American journalists into publishing Soviet propaganda, how slave laborers are concealed from foreign visitors, and how he escaped to the West posing as an American hippie. Includes many photographs brought with him on microfilm at the time of his escape.

SATAN’S HIDDEN DYNASTY OF EDUCATION
See: http://findthepath.org/us.
See: http://www.s-studies.0catc
See: http://www.geocities.com/l
Too many Americans are asking themselves, as I did years ago, “How did we wind up here?” Well, it’s simple if you think about it; if you control education, and you control the media, you can control what people think about the world they live in. From fashion, to what to the dinner to put on the table, to what type of car you should drive, you are being influenced; and that’s the key word influence. If you say something enough times whether true or false, people will start to believe what they are being fed.
Satan’s plan for the final World Union is to control what are known as the 4 hidden dynasties which many of you have heard Pastor Murray speak of; The Economy, Education, Politics, and Religion. Satan has been working long and hard at all four and it is time for many of God’s elect to truly open their eyes to the world around them, if they aren’t already. For it is simply not enough to hear what they signs are, but it is important to actually look around at the events that are transpiring and recognize the timeframe for His return. Of course we will not know the exact hour, but we will know the season if we recognize that the beast’s head is peaking out of the water, or if it is emerging as lightening.
A revealing interview that I came across that sheds some light onto how our socialized public school system is controlled by the banking elite was with Charlotte Iserbyt, senior policy advisor to the United States Department of Education during the Reagan administration & author of “The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America”. I strongly suggest watching this interview and for a deeper look into the details of the hands where we place our children each day, here’s a link to her online book:

The Rockefeller Influence On Education
John D. Rockefeller made his first move on education in 1902 when he formed the General Education Board (GEB). To ensure control of this tax-exempt organization he put his assistant, Frederick T. Gates, in charge as chairman. Gates revealed the Rockefeller philosophy on education in the board’s “Ocassional Letter, No. 1”
“In our dreams we have limitless resources and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hands. The present educational conventions fade from our minds, and unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive rural folk.”
The General Education Board would later expand its activities to include the city folk as well.
Between 1902 and 1907, John D. Rockefeller, Sr., would give a total of $200 million to the GEB, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial. The total amount of Rockefeller funds given to influence education from 1902 to 1930, in today’s money, would be equivalent to more than $2 billion. This is an incredible sum of money going to promote globalism and socialism within education, particularly when one considers that there was little, if any, foundation-sponsored opposition during this same period of time.
According to Gary Allen, who wrote ‘The Rockefeller File’:
“The foundations (principally Carnegie and Rockefeller) stimulated two-thirds of the total endowment funding of all institutions of higher learning in America during the first third of this century. During this period the Carnegie-Rockefeller complex supplied twenty percent of the total income of colleges and universities and became in fact, if not in name, a sort of U.S. Ministry of Education”
It should be noted that the Rockefeller and Carnegie foundations often had interlocking directorates and frequently acted in unison. This is still the case today. These same foundations began in the early thirties to back John Dewey’s Socialist Philosophy with large amounts of money. Dewey, who became known as the “father of progressive education” went on to influence the thinking of American educators more than any other individual. What a few people today realize about Dewey is that he was one of America’s leading atheists. He wrote:
“There is no God and no soul. Hence, there are no needs for the props of traditional religion. With dogma and creed excluded, then immutable (unchangeable) truth is also dead and buried. There is no room for fixed, natural law or permanent moral absolutes.”
Dewey’s association with the Rockefeller family went back a long way as he taught four of the five Rockefeller brothers, including David and Nelson. He started his educational career in 1894 at the University of Chicago, which was one of the first schools to receive Rockefeller money. Dewey worked there until 1904, when he resigned and moved to the Teacher’s College at Columbia University. Today, twenty percent of all American school superintendents and forty percent of all teacher college heads have advanced degrees from Columbia where Dewey spent many years as the Department head. As Gary Allen explains:
“Since America’s public school system was decentralized, the foundations had concentrated on influencing schools of education (particularly Columbia, the spawning ground for Deweyism:, and on financing the writing of textbooks which were subsequently adopted nationwide”
The Reece Committee realized this strategy and focused much of its energy on investigating foundation control over teacher training schools. Rene Wormser, Counsel for the Committee, observed:
“Research and experimental stations were established at selected universities, notably Columbia, Stanford, and selected universities, notably Columbia, Stanford, and Chicago. Here some of the worst mischief in recent education was born. In these Rockefeller-and-Carnegie-established vineyards worked many of the principal characters in the story of the suborning of American education. Here foundations nurtured some of the most ardent academic advocates of upsetting the American system and supplanting it with a Socialist state.”
Traditionalist teachers, who had strongly resisted Deweyism, were swamped by education propagandists backed with millions of Rockefeller-Carnegie dollars. The National Education Association (NEA), the country’s chief education lobby, was also being financed largely by the Rockefeller and Carnegie foundations. By 1934, the NEA adopted John Dewey’s philosophy of humanism, socialism, and globalism, and incorporated it into the classroom. It was interesting to learn that while all of this was going on, Dewey managed to slip away to Russia for a time to help organize the Marxist educational system there. ( Excerpted from “En Route to Global Occupation” by Gary H. Kah, 1992)
In conjunction with the educational system and it hijacking, a serious trend exists of unnecessarily medicating our children. Children, especially boys, have a LOT of energy; it’s in their God-given make-up. And when our children act out because both parents are not at home and working, some parents tend to wonder, “what’s wrong with my child”, when the answer is staring them square in the face; they need their parents love and nurturing through a frightening world where most of the hours of the day are being spent in centers intending to indoctrinate our children with no foundation of morals or of God; our public schools.

CONTROL THE MEDIA, INFLUENCE THE MIND
Why aren’t the major news stations reporting these stories? Well a close look at who owns the media will give you the answer. I heard a lawyer once say, “Follow the money trail”. Good advise when researching who is in control and where the power resides.
Walter Cronkite, the former “CBS News” anchor and long-time Rockefeller admirer, once stated,
“The Rockefellers are the epitome of the nation’s permanent Establishment: governments change, economics fluctuate, foreign alliances shift – the Rockefellers prevail. This statement certainly holds true for the media.”
Although I knew that certain members of the information industry had fallen under the influence of the Rockefeller establishment, I was once again surprised by the extent of this control. I found that each of the three major networks was almost completely dominated by CFR/Trilateral Commission members. The list of media personalities belonging to these organizations was so comprehensive that my driving question was no longer “Who is involved in them?” but rather, “Who is involved in them?” The following is a list of past and present members [1992 was the time of this writing]: CBS William Paley (CFR), Dan Rather (CFR), Harry Reasoner (CFR), and Bill Moyer (CFR); from NBC/RCA Tom Brokaw (CFR), John Chancellor (CFR), Marvin Kalb (CFR), and Irving R. Levine (CFR); from ABC David Brinkley (CFR), John Scali (CFR), and Barbara Walters (CFR); and from PBS-The Public Broadcasting Service Robert McNeil (CFR), Jim Lehrer (CFR), and Hodding Carter III (CFR).
In addition to most of the major media personalities belonging to the Rockefeller’s controlled CFR or Trilateral Commission, the television networks are influenced by the Rockefeller’s family bank. A July 1968 report, issued by a House Banking subcommittee, revealed that Chase Manhattan Bank alone controlled 5.9 percent of the stock in CBS and that it had gained interlocking directorates with ABC.
A later report issued by Congress in 1974 indicated that Chase Manhattan’s stake in CBS had risen to 14.1 percent of RCA Corporation, the parent of NBC. The same report disclosed that Chase held stocks in twenty-eight broadcasting firms. The report, entitled “Disclosure of Corporate Ownership”, was the result of more than two years of investigation and was published b the Senate sub-committee on intergovernmental relations. Shortly after the release of these findings, yet another study revealed that Chase had gained control of 6.7 percent of ABC’s stock as well. It should be noted that the preceding statistics were the result of investigations in the 60’s and 70’s. The Rockefeller’s share in the three major networks was increasing rapidly at the time. Their holdings today could be several times higher. Also, these statistics reveal only Chase Manhattan’s stake in the networks. The holdings of other Rockefeller banks and companies, which may own additional shares in the same networks is not included. Nor do these findings reveal the percentage of stock that Rockefeller allies might have in the networks. When one considers that 5 percent ownership of the stock of a widely-held corporation is usually enough to assure a minority control of that firm, the influence of just one family in the television industry is truly mind-boggling.
The Rockefeller controlled Council on Foreign Relations has also made significant strides toward gaining control of the wire services, which supply much of our news. For example, wire services, which supply much of our news. For example, wire service officials Katharine Graham of the Associated Press, H.L. Stevenson of U.P.I, and Michael Posner of Reuters are past or present members of the CFR.
I [author, Gary H. Kah] am glad that the Associated Press member who tipped me off about these organizations did not belong to them. It just goes to show that there are still a few good reporters out there.
Independent newspapers have also been the target of establishment takeovers and mergers. In 1983, the Congressional Research Service reported that only 531 of the nation’s 1,700 dailies were still independently owned. (Most of these were small town papers, which have only a limited impact on shaping the nation’s views.) This figure was down from 1,381 independent daily newspapers influenced by the CFR including the New York Times Company with the largest number of past or present CFR and or Trilateral Commission (TC) members, Newsweek/Washington Post including numerous leading syndicated columnists and owner Katharine Graham, Dow Jones & Co. (Wall Street Journal) with a number of past of present CFR and/or TC members, and representation from the Boston Globe, the Baltimore Sun, the Chicago Sun Times, and the L.A. Times Syndicate, the Houston Post, and the Minneapolis Star/Tribune. Other major newspapers with CFR interlocks are: the Arkansas Gazette, Des Moines Register & Tribune, Gannett Co. (Publisher of USA Today and newspapers in more than forty cities from New York to Hawaii), The Denver Post, and Louisville Courier. The CFR further influences the press through its thirty –eight affiliated Committees on Foreign Relations, whose members staff scores of additional newspapers all around the country.
Major magazines in the CFR orbit include: Fortune, Time, Life, Money, People, and Sports Illustrated (all of which are under the umbrella of Time, Inc.), Newsweek, Business Week, U.S. News & World Report, Saturday Review, Reader’s Digest, Atlantic Monthly, McCall’s and Harper’s Magazine.
These publications have also been influenced by a growing number of establishment banks and corporations whose advertisements generate huge revenues for the magazines, such as Citicorp, Chase Manhattan Corporation, Chemical Bank, Bankers Trust of New York, Manufacturers Hanover, Morgan Guaranty, Exxon, Mobil, Atlantic Richfield/ARCO, Texaco, IBM, AT & T, General Electric, General Motors Corporation, Ford Motor Company, and Chrysler Corporation.
Along with controlling the major networks, newspapers, and magazines, the Rockefeller establishment has a lock on book publishing as well. The following publishers have been represented on the CFR: MacMillan, Random House, Simon & Schuster, McGraw-Hill, Harper Brothers, IBM Publishing and Printing, Xerox Corp., Yale University Press, Little Brown and Company, Viking Press, Cowles Publishing, and Harper & Row. Many of these specialize in publishing text books-which brings us back to the Rockefeller establishment’s control over education. (excerpted from “En Route To Global Occupation” author Gary H. Kah)
Who Controls Media Today and How the People Can Take it Back

Concerning the heading of this article, I’m sure we can NOT take it back at this point because prophecy already tells what’s going to happen. Christ Himself revealed the future to John and it will come to pass. Our job is to watchers. Our most important job is planting the seeds of the truth of what God’s Word says.
The following videos that I offer to you now, go into great detail as to the agenda of the New World Order. If what you have discovered thus far in this study has shocked you, then I recommend that you wait and digest what you’ve read and heard to this point. Do further research on your own to document for yourself what’s going on with your government. There are many, many books available that go into detail as to the Federal Reserve System, The Controlled Media, The North American Union, and all of the other topics. When you’re ready, watch the following video documentaries and discover more of the roots of how the New World Order has come to be what it is today.

Socialism in America
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948
And Socialism is a heartbeat away from communism:
“Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both.” – John F Kennedy
THEY DID THIS IN GERMANY
They say that history repeats itself because men do not remember the past and change it. When we look at how economic and social state was in Germany before Hitler took over, you may be surprisingly shocked to see the parallels to America today.

MARXISM, AMERICAN STYLE
– From the National Taxpayers Union“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, followed always by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years.” – Alexander Fraser Tytler, Lord Woodhouselee
American leaders claim to reject collectivist ideology, but our government has come more to resemble Marx’s grasping hand of the super-state than Adam Smith’s invisible hand of laissez-faire capitalism.
Listed below are the ten points of Marx’s Communist Manifesto and examples of ways in which these principles are exercised through federal policy in contemporary America.

America has been steadily on the socialist track since implementing Social Security & Welfare in1935 under Franklin D Roosevelt. One of the most important issues being discussed right now is that of socializing our healthcare system. Please watch the following so you will understand that this is just another tentacle that will further push us into economic hardship. The countries that have socialized medicine will give us their experience. A wise person would listen:

POPE CALLS FOR “WORLD POLITICAL ATHORITY”
It certainly appears that we are closer than some might think of the establishment of a One World System, yet many well intentioned Christians are still slumbering. It would seem that the world stage is almost set for the appearance of the antichrist. To get the world used to a One World leader, it would be interesting to see a human world leader step onto the stage first, before the appearance of antichrist who is satan here, de-facto. It sure would make Satan’s argument strong when he arrives claiming to be Christ to be able to say, “See, the antichrist man has been revealed; now I’m here, your true Christ.” It would appear we are being prepped right now for just such a happening.

WAKE UP CALL – NEW WORLD ORDER:
http://video.google.co.uk/
A system of control has been placed in every aspect of our lives. I was intrigued when I first watched the movie “The Matrix”. Learning that reality, the one most of us live in, is something all together different than what one might think. We know that in the end times the world must come into a One World System, but the pieces were always blurred as to how that was going to happen; when all along it was happening right under our noses.

Hope, and change, that is what Barak Obama promised when he ran for office. I’m the furthest thing from racist as most of my friends are African American and some of my immediate family members are as well. I would have wanted nothing more than for a time to come when racial hatred and tensions would come to and end, and the election of an African American President was a promise of that. For most African Americans & many Americans of all races, Barak Obama represents hope and a promise for change just as his campaign slogans have been repeated over and over by the man. But I am of the mind that I truly do not care about the color of a person’s skin. What I do consider, are the words that come from any man or woman no matter if they are white, black, brown, red, green or blue… and it’s time that we judge this man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character. God created all of us, and as his elect, we shouldn’t harbor such immaturity as to judge a man’s skin color, only his words. Let’s see what words and actions Obama has taken and then use wise discernment to judge what is going on. Yes, we’ve seen some drastic changes, but changes that are quite dangerous to every race of Americans.

After Obama was elected into office, several moves were made to shift us even more quickly into economic slavery; one step closer to an economic collapse. Once an economic collapse happens, the One World System will easily be implemented; explaining to the sheeple that the old system was broke and a new, better system must replace it. And since the world is tied together economically, it makes sense to start the new system as a Global System and all national distinctions will disappear.
In addition to this, Obama has appointed nothing but Globalist Bankers to his cabinet:
Susan Rice—ambassador to the UN; Michael McFaul—head of the Russian desk at the National Security Council; Elena Kagan—solicitor general of the United States; Anne-Marie Slaughter—State Department policy planning staff; Neal S.Wolin—deputy counsel to the president for economic policy; Ezekial Emanuel—senior counselor at the White House Office of Management and Budget on health care policy; Lawrence Summers—head of the National Economic Council; Peter Orszag—director of the Office of Management and Budget; Peter Rouse—senior advisor to the president; Mona Sutphen—deputy chief of the White House staff.

As I first researched these things and learned that they were true, my initial reaction was to become angry and tell others so they would wake up and we all could attempt to stop it. But then I remembered, just as Jeremiah warned the Children of Israel that God said they were going to go into captivity to Babylon, yet they wouldn’t believe him, asking false prophets to tell them false predictions of comfort and prosperity, so it is today. God forewarned us that the King of Babylon of the End Times would come again and that prior to his coming, a One World system would rise from the peoples of the world. Although we must continue to make efforts through political means to hold on to our freedoms for as long as possible, there is some comfort in knowing that it must come to pass, but as a result, the events we are now witnessing, will ultimately consummates all prophecy and God will finally receive His inheritance and we will finally be free from the slavery of evil. And remember, even while in captivity, God blessed the children of Israel. He will do the same for His elect during satan’s reign.

My side not to this is that “Peter” the Roman in this phrase also translates to rock. If the final pope is called by this phrase, then it is fitting for satan because his rock is not our Rock, and he would be the leader of the Revived Roman Empire spoken of in Daniel.

Ron Paul, Congressman14th congressional district
Infowars
June 24, 2009
Last week Congress passed the war supplemental appropriations bill. In an affront to all those who thought they voted for a peace candidate, the current president will be sending another $106 billion we don’t have to continue the bloodshed in Afghanistan and Iraq, without a hint of a plan to bring our troops home.
Many of my colleagues who voted with me as I opposed every war supplemental request under the previous administration seem to have changed their tune. I maintain that a vote to fund the war is a vote in favor of the war. Congress exercises its constitutional prerogatives through the power of the purse, and as long as Congress continues to enable these dangerous interventions abroad, there is no end in sight, that is until we face total economic collapse.
From their spending habits, an economic collapse seems to be the goal of Congress and this administration. Washington spends with impunity domestically, bailing out and nationalizing everything they can get their hands on, and the foreign aid and IMF funding in this bill can rightly be called an international bailout!
As Americans struggle through the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, this emergency supplemental appropriations bill sends $660 million to Gaza, $555 million to Israel, $310 million to Egypt, $300 million to Jordan, and $420 million to Mexico. Some $889 million will be sent to the United Nations for so-called “peacekeeping” missions. Almost one billion dollars will be sent overseas to address the global financial crisis outside our borders. Nearly $8 billion will be spent to address a “potential pandemic flu” which could result in mandatory vaccinations for no discernible reason other than to enrich the pharmaceutical companies that make the vaccine.
Perhaps most outrageous is the $108 billion loan guarantee to the International Monetary Fund. These new loan guarantees will allow that destructive organization to continue spending taxpayer money to prop up corrupt leaders and promote harmful economic policies overseas.
Not only does sending American taxpayer money to the IMF hurt citizens here, evidence shows that it even hurts those it pretends to help. Along with IMF loans comes IMF required policy changes, called Structural Adjustment Programs, which amount to forced Keynesianism. This is the very fantasy-infused economic model that has brought our own country to its knees, and IMF loans act as the Trojan Horse to inflict it on others. Perhaps most troubling is the fact that leaders in recipient nations tend to become more concerned with the wishes of international elites than the wishes and needs of their own people. Argentina and Kenya are just two examples of countries that followed IMF mandates right off a cliff. The IMF frequently recommends currency devaluation to poorer nations, which has wiped out the already impoverished over and over. There is also a long list of brutal dictators the IMF happily supported and propped up with loans that left their oppressed populace in staggering amounts of debt with no economic progress to show for it.
We are buying nothing but evil and global oppression by sending your tax dollars to the IMF. Not to mention there is no Constitutional authority to do so. Our continued presence in Iraq and Afghanistan does not make us safer at home, but in fact undermines our national security. I vehemently opposed this Supplemental Appropriations Bill and was dismayed to see it pass so easily.
ADDITIONAL MATERIAL MARKING EXACTLY WHERE WE’RE AT:
Preparations for Elimination of The U.S. Constitution and the Imposition of a Fascist Marxist Dictatorship In the United States of America. The following pages provide explicit evidence showing the concerted effort and pre-planning by elements in the U.S. government for the implementation of a Fascist Marxist Dictatorship in the United States of America.
Control of the U.S. Currency
see: http://www.libertyforlife.
The Federal Reserve Bank Act of 1913 handed the U.S. dollar into the hands of a few unscrupulous men.
"Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes its laws"- Meyer Amchel Rothschild.
Initiation of Wars & Depressions
World War 1 would never have occurred without the establishment of the Federal Reserve Bank, the owners of that bank were the primary beneficiaries of the war both funding the war and manufacturing the armaments for the war on both sides. They did the same thing for World War 2, the Korean War, Vietnam War, Gulf War etc. The current Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank at least admits the bank was responsible for causing the Great Depression. The Federal Reserve Bank has been responsible for initiating and driving most depressions ever since.
see: http://www.libertyforlife.
Control of Airwaves, Notes, Tax & the implementation of Socialism
The Bankster's man they brought in after initiating the Great Depression, Franklyn Delaware Roosevelt, instituted the FCC to control airwaves and media, the SEC to control any competing Notes to their bank, the IRS to tax the people so as to pay the bankers interest on the money they make out of nothing and Social Security for placing the State at the head of family.
The Institution of a Police State:
see: http://www.libertyforlife.
The massive buildup of police and jails and a judiciary that throws people in jail for non-crimes. By 2004 the U.S. already had more people in jail, prison and on probation than all other nations in the world combined.
The Patriot Act
Employing the planned fear uncertainty and doubt caused by their 9/11 which was the "New Pearl Harbor", and as a result the administration passed the "non-law" of the Patriot Act which according to these government criminals allows them to arrest and detain anyone they want without that person having any right to defend themselves - "Guilty without any right to prove innocence" which is known as:
The Elimination of The Posse Comitatus Act
see: http://www.libertyforlife.
Since 1878 the government has been prohibited from using our own Military against our own people. In 2006 the administration passed 'non-laws' to eliminate the Posse Comitatus Act.
The Creation of Concentration Camps in the U.S. & Abroad

Army Regulation 210–35
see: http://www.libertyforlife.
Civilian Inmate Labor Program: Confirming the government and the Army's plans for U.S. based Concentration Camps;
Military Commissions Act
see: http://www.libertyforlife.
The enactment of concentration camps in the U.S. and the ability of the President to throw whoever he wants in the camps without question.
The Next 9/11 False Flag
Still to occur: An extreme 'terrorist attack' again initiated secretly by the government is planned to shock the U.S. public into accepting an attempt to steal nuclear weapons by the White House was thwarted by brave soldiers. The scramble to develop biological weapons by the Bush administration indicates they may be seeking a biological holocaust as for the staging of their next false flag.
"Why of course the people don't want war ... But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship ... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger." — Hermann Goering, Nazi leader, at the Nuremberg Trials after World War II
“The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists.”– President J. Edgar Hoover
"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State." Dr. Joseph M. Goebbels, Propaganda Minister of Nazi Germany.
The underlying glue tying this communist fascist New World Order together are the owners of the Federal Reserve Bank who funded and implemented the Communist Bolshevik revolution. By placing the State as head of family and making everyone hand everything they own to the State, these banksters own the world. In the U.S. they have used the treasonous and fraudulent Federal Reserve Bank Act to literally make money out of nothing. When you borrow money to buy a home the Rothschild's, Rockefellers', Warburgs, Lazards and other owners of the Federal Reserve Bank make the money you borrow out of nothing and they take a majority ownership of your home.
But remember... "There rock is not our Rock"... Interesting that the name "Rockefeller" is a pivotal part of our enslavement...
This study could continue on because I’m only scratching the surface, but I think it will do well enough to hopefully start you on a journey to opening your eyes, educating yourself, and putting on the full Armor of God. The end times that the prophets wondered about are upon us. They wanted to live in this generation to witness all of prophecy.
