6.15.13 BIBLE STUDY 5 TAMMUZ 5773
BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU
Greetings, everybody! Here we are at Bible study. The new moon of the fourth month was sighted in
Israel June 10 at 7:30 p.m. which means Tuesday was the new moon day. The fixed Jewish calendar is
two days early in declaring the new moon this month. The Sabbath is independent of the new moon, so
we cant get the Sabbath wrong and there are no annual holy days this month to get wrong. The Hebrew
word kodesh means new month, and is also is translated new moon which begins the new month. The
Hebrew (Biblical) new month begins by the sighting of the first visible crescent sliver of the moon. The
Jews admit that they changed from the new moon observance to the Hillel II calculated fixed
(mathematical-astronomical calendar) in 360 A.D. The Sanhedrin (Jews religious governing court of
elders and priests) has been reestablished in Jerusalem (12/09/04) and has recently taken a leading role in
rebuilding the third temple.
English peas, garlic, corn and potatoes are planted in the garden and weve harvested radishes from the
garden. The two volunteer squash plants are doing very well, along with the herbs of parsley and thyme.
We are still refreshed from spending four days in Southern California with our children and
grandchildren. Our newest member Alessandro, who was one year old on June 2nd, is recovered from his
high fevers with appropriate measures and care. Before we left home, Cappy prayed that on this visit we
would have no untoward words, events, or physical mishaps. Gratefully, God answered our prayers (and
those of others) in a timely manner that blessed us all with peace of mind. Having the opportunity to see,
touch and hug, share meals together, laugh each day and reaffirm our unity was special! It is not my job
to argue with family or others. They have their own lives to live and are raising their own families. If they
ask for information, we give it to them. Cappy shares various things of interest in health and family.
This is something that I wish we all could and would take time to do in connecting with our spiritualfamily. Even in a spiritual family there are many different opinions on doctrine and especially on
prophecy. When looking for the unity we would like to see and have in the church, there is precious little
unity even among those who keep Sabbath days (weekly and annual) because we go by different
calendars and details with confusion of face. 1 Corinthians 14:33God is not the author of confusion.
James 3:16 Where there is envying and strife, there is confusion. Ephesians 2:3man by nature lives
and converses in the lusts of his flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind. People,
generically speaking, that I call brethren believe in Christ and his Holy Spirit, believe the Bible is the
inspired written word of God, obey the health laws and keep the seventh-day Sabbath and holy days. But
they may not know (or have) the true calendar, keep Passover and Pentecostmuch less know how to
keep it or the right way to count it.
Revelation 12:9the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, whichdeceives the whole world. 1 John 3:8He that commits sin is of the devil; forthe devil sinned from
the beginning. For this purpose the son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the
devil. Satan has done a fine job of sowing the seeds of confusion that manifests himself as an angel of
light. He has blinded the eyes of this world today to the precious truth of the gospel of the kingdom of
God and his salvation. Our political leaders say they have the answers and have none and are spiritually
bankrupt. We are living in the days of the final count-down to the coming of Messiah, the end of this age
and the battle of Armageddon.

weeks, there have been four major scandals which have recently been exposed in the American
government over the Obama administration and it is a very sad (and frightening) truth that our pathetic,
American lapdog mainstream media is not responsible for breaking even a single one.. The latest one has
been the eves-dropping of the NSA compilation and storage of huge data bases of information of all
computer generated conversations, emails and phone conversations around the world.
Most Americans are unaware, dont care or too busy with their own pleasures and trust the government tohandle everything. One day people are going to wake up and realize the only one that man can trust is
God and his word. John 8:42, 44Christ came from God who sent him. He told the legislators of his
day, You are of your father the devil and the works (lusts) of your father you will do. He was a murderer
from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, becausethere isno truth in him.When he speaks a lie, he
speaks of his own: forhe is a liar and the father of it. Christ spoke the truth.
NewsWarning: Obamas Secret Police Know You Are Reading This (personalliberty.com 6/12/13)
A picture of a big eye as looking straight at the reader with the comment: The only thing necessary for
the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothingEdmund Burke. Burke was an Irish statesman,
author, orator, political theorist and philosopher, who after moving to England, served for many years in
the House of Commons of Great Britain as a member of the Whig party (1/12/1729 to 7/9/97).
Do you feel safer knowing President Barack Obamas Secret Policewhoops, I mean his National
Security Agency (NSA)are monitoring your communications and everything that you read on the
Internet, including these very words? Certainly you are supposed to feel safer. Just ask almost anyone in
the mainstream media, as well as most Democrats and even Republicans in Congress (the very members
we trust to protect our liberties). They are busy acquiescing to Obamas tyranny all in the name of
national security. It seems the Obama-media and members of congress have not read a word of history,
they seem to have never heard of a democratically elected leader who enslaved Europe and started a war
that killed sixty million people while his government, police and justice system turned a blind eye to
every excess. All they have to do is a Google search for Adolf Hitler. Maybe they dont do that because
it would be a record of subversive inquiries. America is not learning from past history, but ignoring it.
James Bamford writes in The Shadow Factory: The Ultra-Secret NSA from 9/11 to the Eavesdropping
on America. There is now the capacity to make tyranny total in America. Yet it seems that no one seems
to care, other than Libertarians like former Congressman Ron Paul, who said NSA revelations are a
predictable result of a government that continues to erode our liberties while promising some glimmering
hope of security. I was nave enough to believe that others, like Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.)
would be outrages by the Obama Administrations attack on the 1st and the 4th Amendments. Graham says
he is not sure who is entitled to 1st Amendment rights. It could be that Personal Liberty Digest and the
people who comment on the column and stories dont have guaranteed protection. Graham said last week
he is unconcerned that the Obama Administration has his Verizon phone records because hes not talking
to terrorists Graham told FOX News. I am glad the NSA is trying to find out what terrorists are up to
overseas and inside the country. I dont think youre talking to terrorists, I know youre not, I know Im
not, so we dont have anything to worry about, Graham said.
Graham also admitted that it wasnt until the news broke about the NSA the day before that he knew
anything about what the top secret agency was going. I am glad Graham is sure they arent doing
anything bad. And I am really glad Graham has looked into his crystal ball and can predict that the
Obama Administration will never abuse power. Greenwald says that terrorists who represent a threat to
America have known for years that electronic traffic has been monitored and that is why they use
couriers. It is amazing that our elected representatives will allow Obama to operate his spy net work

without objection or restraint.All must be ok, because Obama tells us so. I am convinced that Obama is
not interested in protecting America from terrorists.
Personalliberty.com (6/7/20/13)Whose Breaking News on White House Scandals? Greenwald, the
reporter from the Guardian who broke the NSA story told Piers Morgan on CNN: There is a massive
apparatus within the U.S. government that with compete secrecy has been building this enormous
structure that has only one goal, and that is to destroy privacy and anonymity, not just in the U.S. but
around the world. Its well past time that we have a debate about whether thats the kind of country and
world in which we want to live. We havent had that debate because its all done in secrecy and the
Obama Administration has been very aggressive about it. On Friday, Obama explained that there is no
need to worry or fuss and that our freedoms are being protected because his heart is in the right place.
Somehow his rhetoric didnt comfort me.
Big Brother Hears All (6/7/13) the USA Patriot Act was designed to catch terrorists and was not
being used to spy on Americans, the National Security Agency is currently collecting the telephone
records of millions of customers of Verizon. The records include both local calls and those made to
people abroad. The UK Guardian obtained a copy of an order from the secret Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Court (FISA) requiring Verizon to divulge to the NSA its customer metadata from April 25,2013 until July 19, 2013. The order directs Verizon to produce on a daily basis information that includes
session identifying information, such as originating and terminating number, the duration of each
call, telephone calling card numbers, trunk identifiers, International Mobile subscriber Identity (IMSI)
number, and comprehensive communication routing information.
Of course, this is not new. In 2006, USA Today reported the NSA had been secretly collecting the phone
call records of tens of millions of Americans using AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth as part of a secret
program implemented by President George W. Bush that saw the collection of domestic telephone,
internet and email records. Senator Diane Feinstein, who chairs the Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence says the program has been going on for years and regularly renewed. They say it is needed
for national security.
National Review (6/12/13) What about the surveillance of U.S. Mosques off limits? Since October 2011
mosques have been off-limits to the FBI (in America). No more surveillance or undercover sting
operations without high-level approval from a special oversight body at the Justice Department dubbed
the Sensitive Operations Review Committee. Who makes up this body and how do they decide requests?
Nobody knows; the names of the chairman, members and staff are kept secret. The panel was set up under
pressure from Islamist groups who complained. Just months before the panels formation, the Council on
American-Islamic Relations teamed up with the ACLU to sue the FBI for allegedly violating the civil
rights of Muslims in Los Angeles by hiring an undercover agent to infiltrate and monitor mosques there.
Before mosques were excluded from the otherwise wide domestic spy net the administration was casting,
the FBI launched dozens of successful sting operations against homegrown jihadists inside mosques
and disrupted dozens of plots against the homeland. This is certainly something that we should be asking
about. The FBI never canvassed Boston mosques until four days after the April 15 attacks, and it did notcheck out the radical Boston mosque where the Muslim bombers worshipped. The bureau didnt even
contact mosque leaders for help in identifying their images after those images were capture on closed-
circuit cameras and cell phones. One of the Muslim bombers made extremist outbursts during worship,
yet because the mosque wasnt monitored, red flags didnt go off inside the FBI about his increasing
radicalization before the attacks. This is particularly disturbing in light of recent independent surveys of
American mosques which reveal some 80% of them preach violent jihad or distribute violent literature to
worshippers.

Shoebat Foundation blog (6/13/13) Walid Shoebat is the author ofThe Case for Islamophobia:
Americas Final Warning. Confluence of Scandals: IRS, FBI and NSA. Question: In light of what is
known about the pervasiveness of the NSA surveillance program, shouldnt it now be considered
scandalous that mosques are off-limits to the FBI, even though its old news?
With respect to the NSA scandal, lets set aside the issue of criminality relative to leaker Edward
Snowdens behavior and focus on the federal governments behavior. First, we know that the IRSdeliberately profiled Jewish, Christian, and conservative Tea Party groups for discrimination; its a matter
of public record. We also know that the foundation of a radical Muslim who just so happens to be the
half-brother of the President of the United States, received preferential, expeditious, retroactive and illegal
customer service from the IRS in general, Lois Lerner in particular. Contrast that with what should have
been viewed as a scandal long ago mosques being off limits to the FBI. Via Investors Business Daily:
The White House assures that tracking our every phone call and keystroke is to stop terrorists, and yet it
wont snoop in mosques, where the terrorists are. Thats right, the governments sweeping surveillance of
our most private communications excludes the jihad factories where homegrown terrorists are radicalized.
No more surveillance of mosques? Isnt the revelation that all Americans are being surveilled the primary
take-away from the details of the NSA program? So, if mosques are exempt from FBI surveillance, are
they also exempt from NSA surveillance? If the answer to that question is yes, we may just have a realitythat parallels what happened at the IRS Islamic fundamentalists are given preferential treatment while
law-abiding citizens are profiled.
NSA Surveillance and the Petraeus Effect by Walid Shoebat a former Muslim Brotherhood Member
who is now a peace activist. That the Obama administration had the goods on CIA Director David
Petraeus and used what it new to destroy him when he didnt play ball relative to Susan Rices Benghazi
talking points is as close to a self-evident truth as you can get. Perhaps that wasnt just about meeting out
punishment to a disloyal subordinate. It may have also served as a shot across the bow to others who
desperately want to keep their jobs. God says righteousness exalts a nation. If there were no skeletons in
closets to expose, then a nation would have nothing to hide or fear.
Attorney General Eric Holder was asked by Senator Mark Kirk (R-IL) if Holder could assure that nophones inside the Capitol were monitored, of member of Congress. Holder would not answer the
question. As a result, every member of Congress who had Petraeus-like secrets began taking inventory
of what the administration might know. This is a perfectly logical conclusion, not simple speculation. Do
you think the majority of Congress (both Republicans and Democrats) have secrets they want kept secret?
Do you think that Holders answer indicated that the administration has information about those secrets?
Do you think Congressmen and Senators were able to infer that possibility, based on Holders answer,
Petraeus treatment, and the scope of the NSA surveillance program? Absolutely!
Consider Barack Obamas operation manual Saul AlinskysRules for Radicals. There are two rules that
would seem to apply here:
Rule #4: Make opponents live up to their own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can nomore obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.
Rule #8: Keep the pressure on. Use different tactics and actions and use all events of the period for our
purpose. The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant
pressure upon the opposition. It is this that will cause the opposition to react to your advantage.
To illustrate usage of Rule #4, we have the virtually empirical evidence that Petraeus was destroyed
(killed) by being made to live by his own book of rules. A four-star General / CIA Director having

extra-marital affairs is something he would likely do anything to prevent from coming out. In the case of
Petraeus, it appears he either wasnt willing to stretch the lie about Benghazi any further, consequences be
damned OR he called the administrations bluff and guessed wrong. This reality is not lost on members of
congress, especially in light of Holders response to Kirk.
As for Rule #8, if Edward Snowden intended to harm the administration, he may have strengthened it.
First, if there was a scandal that was really beginning to do damage, it was the IRS scandal. Attention hasbeen re-directed to the NSA surveillance programs. It may just be that these revelations are not only not
harming Obama but giving him the leverage to covertly coerce a majority of individuals in the branch of
government that is supposed to keep him in check. With millions of new Democrats Obamas future in
the Democratic Party will be assured. Obama knows divide and conquer is the name of the game.
How else can we explain that while the administration is seemingly drowning in a sea of scandals,
Obamas immigration agenda is sailing through congress? Why would Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL)
totally and completely abandon the constituency without which he never would have gotten elected? Why
would Rubio stand with the likes of Schumer, Durbin, and Menendezon anything, let alone on such a
divisive wedge issue? After the NSA surveillance program was leaked, Rubio twists the knife in the backs
of conservatives just days later by going on Univision and telling the audience in Spanish that
legalization comes first, then border security. This is anathema to the radio ads featuring Rubios voice
that have been played during Rush Limbaughs commercial breaks. Saying one thing in English and
another in Spanish is as Al-Jazeera doessays one thing in English and another in Arabic. It shouldnt be
what a conservative U.S. Senator should do. What is utterly amazing is that scandal-ridden
administrations are supposed to see their agendas dry up, not spedup. When another scandal strikes, the
one before becomes old news and tends to take the peoples minds off the previous scandal.
How does NSA determine who is a terrorist? Are you on the list for detention in case martial law is
imposed during a major national emergency? Millions of Americans are designated as a threat to
national security by U.S. government. The final judgment is left up to the FBI and government to decide
the criteria that says who is a terrorist and who isnt. Are you a Christian? All they have to do is redefine
terrorist to be anybody who believes in Jesus Christ, believes that Christ is coming again, anyone thatbelieves that there is an Armageddon in our future, anyone that believes the Bibleis a potential terrorist.
When they make that determination who are they going to find? A lot of Christians will be automatically
classified as potential terrorists. Someday they can be rounded up and put in reeducation centers (prison
camps / detention centers) in America.
Can it happen here? It happened in Germany that was a Democratic Republic until Adolph Hitler with his
charismatic oratory took over with his Gestapo and brown shirts. Now we have Obama building his
private citizen army. A lot of people do not believe this could happen in America. By the grace of God we
still have the freedom of speech in this country. However, it is becoming increasingly dangerous for
citizens to speak out about anything anti-government, and that includes CongressSenators and House of
Representatives who all now realize they are being spied upon and their secrets are in the hands of the
government. Their reputations and jobs are at stake and should they get on the bad side of PresidentObama, they could become history.
Founder and long-time director of the FBI (1924-1972), J. Edgar Hoover, was a prime example of
wielding intelligence information and controversial tactics over many groups, agencies and influential
individuals. It is believed that he had so much sensitive information about each leader (ie, Truman,
Kennedy, and Johnson) that they were unable to remove him from office. Hoover also maintained strong
support in Congress, possibly due to the intelligence he had gathered about individual politicians, and he
remained director under every president from Coolidge to Nixon until his death (5/2/72). People tend to
6

7/9
believe anything that they hear. God says prove all things. Trust but verifydouble check information
and its source. My wifes mother from the South used to call smooth-talking, slick-looking men who were
con artists that made themselves appear to be an important well-to-do somebody, grand rascals.
There are a lot of these types still around today who are corrupt in their heart.
Didnt Obama say he is a Christian and went to Columbia University? And 2003, he declared that the
Patriot Act was shoddy and dangerous and something he would help dispose of if he was elected to theU.S. Senate. The Patriot Act is still in effect and he is using it to his advantage. William Pitt, the British
prime minister of the late 18th century, understood: Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those
who possess it.
The Washington Post(6/14/13)Obama Family Vacation to Africa. Between $60 and $100 million
worth of Federal assetsincluding a large naval ship, 56 support vehicles, truckloads of bullet proof
glass, fighter jets and hundreds of Federal personnel will soon be shipped to sub-Saharan Africa. Is a
small scale military operation being planned in an area of civil unrest? NopePresident Barack Obama is
taking the wife and kids on vacation. The costly preparations for the Presidential vacation were revealed
in documents obtained by The Washington Post. According to a confidential internal planning document
obtained by the Washington Post, hundreds of Secret Service agents will be dispatched to secure facilities
in Senegal, South Africa, and Tanzania, which the first family will visit from June 26 to July 3.
A Navy aircraft carrier or amphibious ship, with a fully staffed medical trauma center, will be stationed
offshore in case of an emergency. In addition, military cargo planes will airlift in 56 support vehicles,
including 14 limousines and three trucks carrying bulletproof glass to cover the windows on the hotels
where the Obamas will stay. Fighter jets will fly in shifts to provide around the clock coverage over the
presidents airspace, so they can intervene quickly if an errant plane gets too close. While the
preparations appear to be in line with similar travels in the past, the document offers an unusual glimpse
into the colossal efforts to protect the U.S. Commander -in-chief on trips abroad. The Secret Service
reportedly has had to cut $84 million, and this spring the agency canceled public tours of the White House
in order to save $74,000 a week in overtime.
The Blaze.com (6.14.20)Conservative radio host, Rush Limbaugh on Friday put forth a theory as to
Why GOP is willing to pass amnesty and create millions of instant Democrats. The Republican Party
is embarrassed (shamed)by its own base. The radio host went on to tell a story about his first ever trip to
the Hamptons where he was visiting a famous American Republican. After dinner on the deck, a guy
comes up to me it is a name youd know, but Im not going to tell you whopunches me with his
finger in the chest and says, What are you going to do about the Christians? The man complained about
pro-lifers hurting the GOP with their stance on abortion. Some of the same people have done the same
thing to me on gun control, Limbaugh added. I assume that some Republicans think there is a new
group of people that would become their base, IF they
just got rid of these pro-lifers
just got rid of the Christians just got rid of these gun control nuts!
personalliberty.com (6/7/13)This past Monday, Secretary of State John Kerry said in a prepared
statement that Obama will sign a controversial gun-control treaty promulgated by the United Nations.
We look forward to signing it as soon as the process of conforming the official languages is completely
satisfied.Although the treaty is being touted as a way to prevent illicit trade in conventional weapons,
it actually does far more than that. Among other outrages, it demands that every nation create a registry of
gun owners, manufacturers and trades within its borders. And also that each country establish
7
7/28/2019 BS 6-15-13 Big Brother is Watching You
8/9
mechanisms that could prevent private individuals from purchasing ammunition for any weapons they do
own. This U.N. treaty would mean the end of our 2ndAmendment rights. Resolutions condemning the
treaty were promptly introduced in both branches of Congress declaring that the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty
poses significant risks to the national security, foreign policy, and economic interests of the Unites
States, as well as to the constitutional rights of United States citizens and the United States sovereignty.
There is no doubt that an overwhelming majority of Americans would oppose it if the media ever toldthem about it. A majority of Senators have publicly declared their opposition to this dangerous treaty and
in March, Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) submitted an amendment to the budget bill that urged the Obama
Administration o uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into
the United Arms Trade Treaty. Inhofes amendment was approved by a vote of 53 to 46. The
Constitution says for any treaty to take effect it will have to get a positive vote by two-thirds of the
Senate.
The Debka Newsletter (6/14/13)U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro conveyed warm wishes from
President Barack Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry and the American people to the gay parade which
took place in Tel Aviv Friday. Theres no better place to celebrate than in Tel Aviv, the friendliest city in
the world to the LGBT community, said the ambassador. Obama is endorsing the gay mantra around the
world.
Shoebat.comObamas Brother Works with Man Who attacked US Embassy by Theodore Shoebat,
son of Walid Shoebat. Thanks to my father we now know that Obamas brother, Malik Obama is deeply
associated with Omar al-Bashir, the one who was behind the attack on the U.S. embassy in Khartoum,
Sudan, which occurred at around the same time as the Benghazi attack. I was the first to write on this in
English when the attack first happened, stating: The Attacks by Muslims on American embassies in
Egypt and Libya has shocked the media enough, but now North Sudan has just exploded, with mobs
raiding both the British, German and American embassies. Who is responsible? According to Al-Rakoba,
a Sudanese news site, it is Omar al-Bashir, the president of North Sudan, and his despotic government
who is behind this. Al-Bashir is a modern Hitler, an Islamic tyrant responsible for the deaths of over
three-million people, all in the name of Jihad and war against Christians and the non-Arab Muslims ofDarfur.
In 2012, Shoebat wrote an article showing how while Obama has supported the Islamic uprisings in the
Middle East, he has in fact stopped a revolution against the Hitler of Africa, Omar al-Bashir. The support
of the rebels in Syria, and the condemnation of Assad by the Obama administration can only make one
question as to why he is against this particular regimen, but not that of Omar al Bashir. At one point
Obama prevented Salva Kiir, [the Christian president] president of South Sudan, from aiding rebels who
wanted to topple al-Bashirs regime, and replace it with a secular government.
Malik is the Executive Secretary for the Islamic Dawa Organization (IDO), which is stationed in
Khartoum, Sudan and which has its primary focus in expanding Wahhabist Islam in the African
subcontinent. It was in Khartoum that Bashir declared that he was going to make Sudans newconstitution 100 percent Islamic. Malik Obama shares the same desires as Bashir, in fact both of them
attended the General conference of the Islamic Council of South Sudan pro-Muslim and very anti-
Christian. Bashirs uncle, Eltayeb Mustafa, who is a part of Bashirs government, supported a fatwa
(Muslim declaration) that said: One of the greatest calamities and evils is to permit an exhibition entitled
the Holy bible, this lying forgery, which allows the kufars [non-Muslims] to spread their religion
amongst Muslims, and fascinate the common man, that Christianity prevents them from carrying out the
path of Allah. The duty for whomever Allah has given a hand by leader or man of responsibility is to
prevent this evil, or else he is a traitor to Allah, and his prophet and to the Muslim community. Bashirs

government is executing the dechristianization of and the systematic holocaust of Christians in his
country. This anti-Christian sentiment which Malik Obama upholds and instills is exactly what is fueling
the violence against Christians in Africa. Foreign missionaries have been forcibly deported, and churches
have been bulldozed. In 2012, Bashir gave Christians till March 1st to leave North Sudan, but half a
million of them were stranded, leaving them open targets for Muslims thirsty for Christian blood. Malik
Obama is not only working with a terrorist who attacked the United States, but also a mass murderer.
Ezekiel 28 speaks of the end-timeprince (ruler) of Tyrus (the end-time Babylon/ America) a great world-
trading megalopolis. Tyres proud ruler is rebuked because his heart is lifted up (proud), and you have
said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet you are a man, and not God, though
you set your heart as the heart of God. Behold,you are wiser than Daniel. With your wisdom and your
understanding you have gained riches for yourself, and gathered gold and silver into your treasuries. By
your great wisdom in trade you have increased your riches and your heart has grown proud. Daniel was a
man of God who had wisdom and political acumen and was an advisor to several different governments
successively in Babylon and then Persia! He survived the Babylonian Empire and continued in an
esteemed advisor position in the Persian Empire.
Note: In Ezekiel 28:11-17, as in Isaiah 14:12-17, the language goes beyond the king of Tyre to Satan,
inspirer and unseen ruler of all such pomp and pride as that of Tyre. Gen. 3:14-15 and Matt.16:23 are
other instances of thus indirectly addressing Satan. The unfallen state of Satan is here described; his fall is
written in Isaiah 14. See Rev. 20:10 Moreover, the vision is not of Satan in his own person, but of Satan
fulfilling himself through an earthly king who arrogates to himself honors, so that the prince of Tyre
foreshadows the beast (Dan 7:8; Rev. 19:20).
The Obama Administration is just beginning to show its true colors and definitely is anti-Christian. This
Administration is storing up records on everyone. Barack Obama said: Whatever we once were, we are
no longer a Christian nation and he is not a Christian. Is Obama a Muslim wolf in Christian clothing?
According to Edward Klein, The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House, Obama used Wright by
cultivating a relationship for his own political gain, namely to cover his Islamic beliefs. Klein asked
Wright: Did you convert Obama from Islam to Christianity? Wright replied, I think I convinced himthat it is ok for him to make a choice in terms of who he believed Jesus is. And I told him it was really
okay and not a putdown of the Muslim part of his family or his Muslim friends. Lieutenant Governor
E.W. Jackson wrote in a 2020 blog that Obama has Muslim sensibilities and a Muslim perspective to
view the world and has taken an anti-Semitic approach to the White House that he picked up from the
black community. What exactly are the presidents thoughts on Islam? In his own words: We will
encourage more Americans to study in Muslim communities. Obama refuses to use the words extremist
Muslims or MuslimJihadists and is very protective of Muslim rights even above Christian rights.
John 16:1-3These things have I spoken to you that you should not be offended. They shall put you
out of the synagogues: yes, the time comes that whosoever kills you will think that he does God service.
And these things will they do to you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. But these things
have I told you, that when the time shall come, you will remember that I told you of them. And thesethings I said not at the beginning because I was with you. But now I go my way to him that sent me.
1 Thess. 4:8--God has sent his Holy Spirit to inspire his people (guide, guard, direct, protect and comfort
Jn. 14:16-17; Rom.8:26-27). The Holy Spirit will give us the words to witness and stand firm for the
truth through the power of God. Lets thank God for his truth and presence in our life and give Him the
praise, the honor, and the glory. Blessed be the name of the Lord our God and Yeshua, now and forever!
