The Four Beasts

Daniel 7:4-12 describes 4 beasts, which are four countries/kingdoms.

I cannot tell you why I have always believed that Jesus coming back would be in my lifetime; why I have such a persistant interest in understanding the prophecies; why finding answers to questions is so difficult; or why the interpretation given to the four beasts of Daniel has never seemed right to me. (Although, since I have been reading/studying more intently, I can say that I believe that the  predominately accepted interpretation of the four beasts even less, because of verse 7:12, "As for the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time." Plus, they predominately accepted interpretation does not address the various details described for each beast.)

I have looked up many, many things, and read information and interpretations from various sources and view points. I came across some information on Persia (Iran) one day, and it was showing pictures/reliefs and other art from the Persian empire. Some of the creatures depicted reminded me of some descriptions in the Bible. At that point I realized that the symbolism in Daniel, Revelation (and the rest) would have made more sense to them, because symbolism was so much more common place then, although they still would not have understood the full magnitude of the visions. Since many things today do not symbolize the same things as back then, I have researched a lot of things in as old of books/sources as I can find.

From what I have found, and researched, this is what I think, (for explanation of why, go to http://suprememystery.net/Prophecy.html )...

Beast 1: "The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off: and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man,and a man's heart was given to it." ===== I believe this is America. It's "connection" to God is being removed. Because, our country is so deeply rooted in God & the Bible, that America's foundation has to be completely uprooted, the government remade to match other countries, and it's people made to conform to the world's view. (tidbit: you know when the AntiChrist shows up - nothing of God will be tolerated.)

Beast 2: "And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: 'Arise, devour much flesh!'"===== This describes a bear waking up from hybernation. This is a country that is strong, known for brutality and being cruel, but that has been quiet (not really hearing much from it, almost seeming to be doing nothing). The ribs are 3 countries that have been "taken in" by the stronger country. The strong country will, after having been "quiet" will be encouraged to once again begin being brutal and cruel. -- This may be Russia, who has been working with Iran, N Korea, and Venezuela. (I don't consider Russia as a possibility because its symbol is a bear - California's symbol is a bear too. I think it's possibly Russia, because of it's size, strength, history, associations, and that it does seem to have been relatively "quiet" since the '80s when the Wall came down and ended the Cold War.)

Beast 3: "After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it." ===== I'm not sure about this one, but I can't seem to move passed this being the European Union. The reason I think the EU, is for one, "and dominion was given to it," and two, the number 4 symbolizes "the orderly arrangement of what is separate..." The EU is an orderly arrangement of separate countries and the countries have given the EU dominion over them.

Beast 4: "After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth: it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns..." =====I'm not sure about all of this one either, but this one is the United Nations. Since the UN came into existence, it has been gradually taking over in the name of the peace and conservation. The UN is striving for a one-world government, one-world religion, one-world currency, with required conformity of every person (which will be enforced by constant monitoring and tracking). The UN is responsible for many atrocities around the world, and is a whole lot closer to acheiving their goal than people realize, because there is so little reporting on the UN. (tidbit: think about this - how little do you know about what our government does and works on? There is quite a bit of reporting on our government, and there is still so much that we don't know about what they do! And since they don't read even read it, or not all of it, they don't even know what all they do - and they're there. So, just imagine how much there is that we don't know about the UN, since there is almost no reporting on it!!!)

Founding 'Fathers' Quotes

I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it. - Thomas Jefferson, to Archibald Stuart, 1791
I prefer the risks and challenges of being FREE, than the hardships of living under a government that disapproves & has little to no tolerance for differing opinions.

"The individual who refuses to defend his rights when called by his government, deserves to be a slave, and must be punished as an enemy of his country and friend to her foe." - Andrew Jackson
Anyone who refuses to take a stand to make the effort to defend our rights and freedoms (or those that help to take them) - will have no right to complain about the outcome.

The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just. - Abraham Lincoln
Even you feel that anything you say or do is not going to make a difference, because they are going to do what they want to anyway -- you are not alone. But, you should not keep you from making an effort. It's the same concept that can be made to cause a bank to fail. Put it to make people feel/believe that a bank is failing & eventually it does fail. They want you to feel as though anything you do is not going to make a difference, because if you feel that way, then odds are ... you won't do anything.

"Emergency Powers"

It's been on the news that Congress is debating a bill that would give the President "Emergency Powers" over the Internet. There are already quite a few Executive Orders that have been signed into effect over the last couple of decades or so (in other words, Dems & Reps), that in the event of a national emergency - which could be almost anything - when these Executive Orders are put into effect, the President has control over the various departments of government! Authority falls directly under the President - ONLY - not the Congress or the courts. 

So does it concern you that they are working on giving the President even more authority under the pretense of "Emergency Powers"? Do you really trust this President, or anyone in our government today, to just give up that much authority once they have it? Do you really trust the character of the President or other government officials that much?

People need to watch Star Wars Episode III, Revenge of the Sith - they dealt with the issue of granting emergency powers to their Chancellor. And, although he swore to relinquish the emergency powers once the problem was taken care of ... he didn't.

 And once the "Emergency Powers" would be enacted, how do we know that the authority would not then be relinquished to the UN. I still say that the biggest obstacle (or one of the biggest) to the UN's goal for a one world government is the United States...because of our freedoms!

UN & the US

the current US Ambassador to the UN is Susan Rice, and she was appointed January 22, 2009 - and this position is also a cabinet post under President Obama (according to Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Ambassador_to_the_United_Nations ). 
Do you know anything about her??
Did you know that in 1995 that 4th grade students in a Pennsylvania public school were saying a pledge to the world instead of to the USofA? http://www.un-freezone.org/un_school.html   
Did you know that the UN has been working on gaining control of the Internet? The only thing I could find on this as far as a date was at one point in the article states "reaching accordy by 2005" http://www.un-freezone.org/un-inet.html
Did you know that in 1994 that "about 300 Marines...were required to participate in a 'Combat Army Survey' asking how they felt about statements such as:" "The President of the United States has the authority to pass his responsibilities as Commander-in-Chief to the UN Secretary-General." - "I would swear to the following code: 'I am a United Nations fighting person..." - "I would fire upon US citizens who refuse or resist confiscation of firearms banned by the US government." http://www.un-freezone.org/concerns.html
DID YOU KNOW about Towards a Rapid Reaction Capability for the United Nationshttp://www.crossroad.to/text/articles/rapid-reaction99.htm Which basically describes the necessity for separate "police" force that follows UN command, in each member country. Sounds an awful lot like the "civilian - national security force" that is as well trained and funded as the military, that Obama says that we need to have. This article on the that book (or report or whatever it is) also talks about a Canadian multi-billionaire (point #4) that is pushing for this & one world governing has served as trustee for the Rockefeller foundation and Aspen Institute.  That this Canadian guy began to prepare an Earth Charter (which I have found on other sites - but I don't remember where, cuz most of my stuff is in storage & various boxes) but you should look up the Earth Charter.  Don't get me wrong on this, because I do believe that people need to be more responsible about dealing with the environment, but the whole global warming & green movement is just very subtly and gradually indoctrinating people into Gaia worship. (The UN does not have much of anything about Mother Earth on their websites any more, but the first time I went on the UN site for the kids, that whole page was ALL about taking care of Mother Earth.)
Did you know that "Bill Clinton signed Executive order 13011, establishing a massive interagency bureauracy with power to -" - manage "Federal Information Technology" - disseminate politically correct information - build massive data banks - share the data with international  bodies such as the United Nations. (This little tidbit, when I read it, made me think about the "fishy" email data that the White House collected!)
I have been looking up things on the UN (after I watched a movie that just got me curious) for several years now. I look on UN sites, pro-UN sites, anti-UN sites, sites run by Christians and by VERY anti-Christians. Regardless of beliefs, or reasoning as to why things are happening - they all end up with the same scenario - exactly what's in the Bible - a one world government, one world religion, one world currency, run by the UN, who will monitor everyone, everywhere, and anyone who does not conform to what the UN says will not be allowed the means to live.

Debates on Healthcare

My sister said she doesn't understand why people are carrying on so, because it's not going to be that bad.

The thing is that only parts of the bill are intended to be immediate. And, if it (were actually understood) and run properly it probably wouldn't be so bad. BUT, here's the question - Do you really trust the government to run it properly & without intruding on your individual rights? And not just on healthcare.

If you accuse someone of wrongdoing & their response is name calling & insulting you. People then look to you and await a response to the insults. ----- Because they insulted you & called you names, does that mean that they are not doing the wrongdoing that you accused them of? NO, they have simply redirected the attention away from them and your accusation.

The BIG picture is this - the vast majority of politicians in America, the UN, and around the world are NOT horrible, evil people trying to do everyone in. They are doing what, in their minds, is the best thing(s) to do. The problem is that they are very misquided, because so many of them do not believe in God or the Bible. As far as, the healthcare bill being about control - it is; but so are many other pieces of legistlation & Executive Orders that have been being passed for decades (Republicans & Democrats). We will not see the worst of what has been passed until it is "time". The fact is that the groundwork for a one-world government has been in the works for a long time. But, if you remember, Revelation stated that Power would be obtained through peace. Only God knows how close we are, & how fast or slowly things will continue to progress, but things are being set up, so that when the time comes & the Antichrist does appear, all he will have to do is "Take the Seat" and he will be in Power over the globe, because all of the major obstacles will have already been overcome. --- And, don't kid yourselves, America, our Constitution & our freedoms are very big obstacles.

The more see things happening - I keep thinking about Senator Amidala in Star Wars Episode III  the Rise of the Empire, when she was in the Senate meeting & they voted the Chancelor "emergency powers," - she said, "So this is how democracy dies...with thunderous applause."

Healthcare & "Whistle Blowers"

I watched part of President Obama's "town hall" meeting on healthcare & a few of the Q & A. He is a good speaker, and I don't think that anyone disagrees that changes need to be made & healthcare that costs need to be controlled.

President Obama can say what he wants to, and even if he is truly sincere in what he says, it doesn't mean that the bill would not end up doing exactly the opposite of what he says - and there is proof of that in how the "stimulus" bill got passed. Congress voted on it, passed it, and President Obama signed into law without any of them reading it! So, it all really boils down to whom you choose to believe and whether you trust them!

What many people do not seem to realize is that many of the things that are brought up by "whistle blowers", sometimes may sound urgent and extreme. When things get passed, the result does not seem to be such a drastic change, and often little change is noticed by the average person. So, it begins to seem as though the comments and accusations made by the whistle blowers are just over-stated hype. But the truth is, that many of the things that the whistle blowers bring up, when passed into law, were never intended to have an immediate effect.

"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take everything you have." (I forget which president said this.) Lawmakers know that to bring about drastic change and still keep the peace, the change(s) must be subtle and gradual! Going back at least 70 or so years, our rights in America have slowly been being limited, changed, or taken away.

Also be careful about accepting what you're told, by the names or titles given them. Do not accept that a Stimulus Bill is for Stimulus just because they call it that, or that Healthcare Reform is just about Healthcare Reform. For one, because of all of the Riders that get attached to a bill, that typically are never mentioned for the general public to hear. And, secondly, because words, names, or titles are chosen for a purely "advertising" effect. For example, when you hear about a company doing Lay Offs, it sounds bad, because you know people are losing their jobs. So, "they" changed to using the term Downsizing, which sounds a little better. And, now the term is Reorganizing, which sounds a lot better, because it sounds like a company is just changing positions and responsibilities and not necessarily that people are losing their jobs...but when a company "regoranizes", it is the exact same thing - people are losing their jobs.

And, one more thing to consider about the "whistle blowers." Think about this, even if you completely support the Dems and President Obama - if not for those speaking out - loudly and continually, do you really believe that you would have known about the bill and what they were hoping to accomplish? Do you really believe that there would have been all of the town hall meetings done by CongressPersons to try inform and build up support for the bill? I very highly doubt it! It was only a 2 or 3 years ago that Congress attempted to pass a bill to prevent the "whistle blower" agencies/people from informing people of what Congress was working on - whether you agree with them or not, be glad they are there!!

WH & Dems on Healthcare Protests

I came across an article onine, put out by the AP, titled, White House Advises Dems on Health Care Protests  http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090807/ap_on_go_co/us_health_care_overhaul/print

Which basically states, that the Dems claim that all the protests against the healthcare plan are staged, so they are going to stage their own by allowing in supporters and not allowing some others into the townhall meetings.

Quote from the article: "Senators saw videos of disruptions at events held by House members, and were told to organize their events more carefully as well as work with labor unions and other friendly groups to generate enthusiasm."

AFA sent out an alert a year or two ago, because the Congress was trying to pass a bill that would forbid groups like AFA and others from distributing information about what bills Congress was working on, and about to vote on. (Because Congress was tired of hearing from The People.)

In other words, they appear to be okay with The People speaking out, when The People agree with them, and only when The People agree with them. It certainly does not sound like a government "Of the People, By the People, and For the People."  

For those who believe that government officials are not trying to change our country, from the roots up, look at these links on the proposed Constitution for the Newstates of America (and if you do a search now, you'll find a lot more websites now than I did then. I came across these several years ago. I watched the movie Left Behind. Part of the story line was the UN controlling 10 plots of land throughout the world. And, I know that movies sometimes take something that is true and "run" with it. I wondered if there was any truth to it, or if it was just made up for the movie. I started looking it up, and found that the UN already controls the vast majority of land in the world, including in the US, and has for some time now. I continued looking up stuff on the UN, looking for pro-UN and anti-UN. I began to stumble on things like these sites, I dont' know how true this is, but the point is, someone (or several someones) have obviously put a lot of time and thought into this concept...

http://www.ssrsi.org/os1/BBStext/newstate.htm
http://www.sweetliberty.org/issues/concon/newstates.htm
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/esp_sociopol_depopu13.htm
The program of control under the guidelines will come under the Executive Orders from the President.
Executive Order 11490 also calls for the CREATION of 10 (ten) federal districts, called "NEWSTATES" and their capitals. These 10 "newstates" are already being used by various agencies such as the Postal Service, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Social Security Administration.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11490 (That is eleven thousand four hundred ninety) (Have you read any of them??)
Whereas our national security is dependent upon our ability to assure continuity of government, at every level, in ANY NATIONAL EMERGENCY TYPE SITUATION that might conceivably confront the nation; and WHEREAS effective national preparedness planning to meet such an emergency, including a MASSIVE NUCLEAR attack, is essential to our national survival, and; Whereas the congress has directed the development of such national emergency program of the U.S.
  • PART 6: United States Postal Service will register all persons and families.
     
  • PART 7: Department of the Interior will take control of all electric power, petroleum and gas, solid fuels, minerals, and water.
     
  • PART 8: Department of agriculture will take control of all (1) food resources, farm equipment, fertilizer, and food resources.
     
  • PART 9: Department of commerce, takes over all production and distribution of materials including ocean and coastal shipping of all commodities. It will provide for collection and reporting census information on the status of human and economic resources, including population, housing, agriculture, manufacture, mineral industries, business, transportation, trade, construction, as required.
     
  • PART 10: Department of Labor: The Secretary of Labor shall be in charge of mobilizing all civilian manpower under guidance of the Secretary, and used and allocating available workers to required locations.
     
  • PART 11: Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, will take over all medical requirements for the civilian population, and all Health manpower, which means physicians (including osteopaths) dentists, sanitary engineers, registered nurses, and others as listed in the Health Manpower Occupations.
     
  • PART 12: Department of Housing and Urban development will be in charge of taking over housing and developing places on a temporary basis.

    PART 13: Department of transportation will take over all forms of transportation and the movement of passengers and cargo.
     
  • PART 18: Federal Communications commission takes over all means of communication and ability to close any radio station or any device capable of emitting electromagnetic radiation of any type.
     
  • PART 19: Federal Power Commission takes over all electric power and naturel gas in accordance with agreements with the Secretary of the Interior.
All of these provisions are against the U.S. constitution and once implemented (in secrecy) cannot be reviewed by Congress for six months. Enforcement is by the National Guard or Military under jurisdiction (United Nations Troops now practicing in and on U.S. military bases,) both active and ones who have been turned over to foreign troops for "military practice" in the control of the United Nations.
If you look up more on the Executive Orders, you see that all of this is happening regardless of Democrat or Republican, but it does seem to go faster when it is a Democrat. Our rights are being slowly "plucked" away, and has been being done since before I was born. THIS IS NOT NEW, MOST PEOPLE JUST ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY OF IT!!

Various thoughts & questions

  • Yesterday, Fox News ran a story concerning manufacturing jobs in America, and said that most of the manufacturing jobs are being moved to other countries (putting Americans out of work) that do not have evnironmental controls. Well, it seems to me that the problem of emissions is not being dealt with; the problem is just being relocated.
  • Why are electric cars supposedly so much better? They'll just vastly increase electricity usage, which "they" insist is part of the problem (and the government just passed a bill that will substantially increase electricity bills.).
  • The cash for clunkers program, (c4c) that Dems say is such a success, is to the economy, what a NoDoz (or a caffeine shot of some kind) is to someone that's tired. When a tired person takes a "caffeine shot" they get a boost for a little bit, but then Crash. People may jump at an incredible discount/or "coupon," but it doesn't mean that the sales will continue once the discounts stop. And, with all the lax loan requirements (the government keeps claiming are the cause of the all the banking problems - so they needed bail out), how does anyone know that the people taking advantage of the $4500 government credit, can actually afford the payments on the remaining balances of the cars they're buying, and the insurance and avalorem taxes on brand new cars????

Since UN resolutions DO have an affect on America, Americans, and our tax money, why is there not more coverage of the UN and the resolutions it passes?

  • Tonight, Glenn Beck played an excerpt of Michelle Obama speaking. From what I have come across from varying sources (and opinions) on the UN, what she said in that short snippet is typical thinking of UN officials & program leaders, and clearly state the goals of the UN.

  • "To achieve One World Government it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, their loyalty to family traditions and national identification." Brock Chisholm, while director of UN World Health Organization

  • "...nationhood as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority." - Strobe Talbott, Deputy Secretary of State, 1994-2001

  • Both of these quotes are taken from http://www.un-freezone.org/index.html. And these are just a couple that I remembered where they were, off the top of my head. There are more, including saying that the UN is not ashamed of using food to control behavior, and that they envision a world where is considered a more horrendous crime to destroy a rain forest than to sell a child into slavery, the UN's goal is eliminate all sources of conflict in the world (and two of the biggest sources of conflict are religion & politics) and more just like them. (Most of my stuff is in storage and what isn't is in boxes, it'll take me a little while to find where I got those from & who said them. But when I find them, I will definitely post them.)

  • Did you know that the primary complaint when the US does not take part in a UN program, like the World Court (and others), is that the US has so much money, and if the US joins the program(s) that smaller countries could pay less.

  • Did you know that the UN controls most of the land around the world, including in the US? And, that the UN wants the American Great Plains devoid of people and reverted back to plains for animals to graze? (What about the people that live there??)

 People really need to wake up & look at the bigger picture! Rights are being taken, and the world is being slowly taken over, all in the name of peace & conservation. DO NOT take my word for any of it, research stuff for yourself, including on actual UN websites (you do have to look & pay attention, they don't just post on their sites that they want to take your freedoms).
