Mystery Babylon and the Stone Kingdom, part 64—The Rise of Financial Babylon, part 2
Some lectures back in this series, we used the term, “the tension of opposites.” If you think about it, that phrase describes a phenomenon which is fundamental to all of the created realm. In our sensory world, it is the basis of how we perceive. For example, in vision, there is darkness and light. Some animals see only in black and white.
We humans have been blessed to see in color. Therefore, in reference to our visual perception, the tension of opposites is almost infinitely more complex. Add to that our visual ability to perceive movement; but it is only against a backdrop of non-movement that we see movement. Again, that illustrates the tension of opposites.
In the auditory realm, there is silence and on the opposite end of the spectrum there is deafening sound, plus all manner of gradations of decibels in between. And that is only dealing with the volume aspect of hearing. Again, it becomes almost infinitely more complex when the other aspects of sound are factored in; e.g., tone, pitch, timbre, rhythm, etc.
What about our sense of touch? We distinguish by discerning or perceiving opposites: hard and soft, smooth and rough, warm and cool, etc. In taste, we have bitter, sweet, sour and salty.
In other areas of the created realm we perceive up and down, left and right, inside and outside, wet and dry, hot and cold, night and day, good and evil.... Yes, good and evil. The tension of opposites. It seems that this phenomenon is our Father’s ordained method for us to perceive and thereby to learn as we sojourn in this material realm of His creation.
The past seven lectures/chapters in this series have been especially prominent in pointing out the tension of opposites in God’s great plan of history. For since the decline of the papal Roman empire—notice, I said the decline, not the annihilation of papal Rome—since its decline, we have seen the nearly simultaneous rise of two polar opposites: the Stone Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ and the rise of financial Babylon.
Our last four lectures/chapters have focused on the rise of the Stone Kingdom. We must now lay that on the shelf in our studies, and return to trace more of the rise of financial Babylon. The title for this lecture, then, is Conspiracies in History: (subtitled) The Rise of Financial Babylon, part 2. This is lecture/chapter #21 in our series called Mystery Babylon and the Stone Kingdom.
In lecture #16, The Rise of Financial Babylon, part 1, we went way back to the book of Genesis, to chapter 36, to find the inception of what is not only still being played out today, but which is on the verge of its very climax.
I am referring to the prophecy given to our mother, Rebekah, wife of Isaac, that two manner of people were in her womb. These were the twins, Jacob and Esau. We cannot here take the time to repeat all that summary of history, but we refer you back to that lecture/chapter #16 for that information.
Very briefly, then, we saw that from Jacob and Esau sprang two “people groups.” I hesitate to call them nations, as the meaning of the word changes over the course of time. Today, when we use the word nation, we think of a country. For example, the nation of France or Nigeria or China or Brazil, etc.
But the actual descendants of Jacob—whose name was changed to Israel—the people group descended from Jacob-Israel are found in many countries in the world today, but primarily, they are found and predominate in Europe, especially western and northern Europe, including the British Isles, and they are predominant in North America, Australia and New Zealand. Many other countries have smaller populations of latter-day Israelites.
The descendants of Esau (whose nickname is Edom) are, in contrast, found scattered in many nations. In terms of population, they are predominant in only one nation, to the best of my knowledge, and that is the state of Israel over there in ancient Canaanland.
We showed from the Bible and from history—including Jewish historians—that they, the Edomites, were absorbed into the Jewish people in Judea over a century before Christ and the majority of them have clung—at least nominally—to the religion of Judaism ever since.
Please understand that we are speaking in broad strokes here, of people groups in general. Of course, there have been numerous individuals of Jewish ancestry who through the course of the past two millennia, have converted to faith in Christ as their King and Savior.
Therefore, as we now discuss the supremacy of financial Babylon, please recognize that we will be primarily speaking of those particular families which have come to dominate financial Babylon.
We discussed previously and at some length the book by Rabbi Joachim Prinz in which he detailed how the medieval Jewish banking family of the Pierleoni converted to Catholicism and then went on to provide three popes in the course of two centuries. Prinz had noted how some historians had dubbed the Pierleone family as “the Rothschilds of the Middle Ages.”
Quoting directly, Rabbi Dr. Prinz wrote:
“Of course, the Rothschilds never converted. Until this day they are Jewish leaders in England and France... But they, too, had their master plan, first conceived by Amschel Rothschild...They pursued their aims as relentlessly as the Pierleoni.”
I stated in my earlier lecture that I agree with the learned Dr. Prinz that in the 1700s Mayer Amschel Rothschild did conceive a master plan and the Rothschilds have indeed pursued their aims as relentlessly as the Pierleoni. What was that master plan? It is easy to see in hindsight; just look at the results.
They control nations through the power of money. That fact is documented thoroughly in countless books about the Rothschilds, books both favorable and critical. I had stated that we would come back to this thread later. We are now prepared to pick up this thread.
They control nations through the power of money. This is the essence of what we mean by financial Babylon. Yet, even to this day, this fact is generally unknown by the vast majority of the people. Hence, in the book of Revelation, we find John referring to the age-ending empire of Babylon the Great as “Mystery, Babylon the Great.”
But the best and most exciting fact is that we are living at the end of this age, when this mystery is being unveiled. I stated way back in the early lectures in this series that over 30 years ago, I was given to understand this mystery of how end-time Babylon controls nations through the power of money.
In my zeal and idealism, I devoted three years of my young life working full-time in a non-political, non-religious, educational organization called The John Birch Society (JBS) trying to awaken my fellow Americans concerning the dangers to our liberties posed by those whom the JBS dubbed “The Insiders.” Today, I use the term “cabal,” among others.
I left my job and affiliation with the JBS in Ohio in 1980 and went into the construction business in Florida later that year. By the way, it should go without saying, that the JBS is nothing like it was (and probably still is) portrayed by the Lying Legacy Media. While in Journalism School at the Ohio State University in the early-mid-1970s, I came to believe those lies—that they were a bunch of radical, right-wing, extremist, neo-Nazi, KKK, white supremacist, anti-Semitic kooks.
I later discovered that, on the contrary, they are Mr. and Mrs. Average American—God-fearing, hard-working, freedom-loving people that you would like to have for your next-door neighbors.
But I left the JBS because I felt there was no way the JBS, with its very limited financial resources, was going to be able to reach enough people in time to stop the cabal’s juggernaut towards totalitarianism in America.
I had come to believe that the spiritual component was the only solution, that America needed to repent, turn back to God, and then He would … you know the verse, 2 Chronicles 7:14… heal our land.
God has a place, a role for the JBS. There are rare exceptions, of course, as there are in any organization, but in general, the Birchers are fine people. But I realized that my place, my role, was not there. Enough of my personal history.
Prior to 2016, America has gone so very much further down that road to totalitarian tyranny. In that early lecture in this series I then related how pleased I was to see Glenn Beck on Fox TV using his blackboards to illustrate and expose those Insider groups and individuals.
I was thrilled because, while I was only able to reach a very small audience with this message in the late 1970s in the JBS, Beck was now reaching millions on his TV and radio program. He left the Fox network a few years ago, and he is doing the same type of thing through his GBTV on the internet.
Now before I get a lot of feedback criticizing me for praising Glenn Beck, please understand that I am not 100 percent in agreement with everything Beck says or does. For heaven’s sake, I know he is a Mormon. (And by the way, I had many Mormon friends in the JBS. They made some of the best and hardest-working members.)
I know Glenn is way off base when it comes to his relying on the likes of Pastor John Hagee for advice on Bible prophecy, and he is way off base when he goes to Israel and does several days of broadcasts from there. He is simply blind in that area.
Can we allow that a person can understand perfectly in one area and be helplessly blind in another? I hope so, because that would apply to all of us, wouldn’t it? Let us be patient with one another in our blind spots, okay?
Think about this: Patience compels deception to reveal itself. In terms of Mystery Babylon, I believe the time has come for that deception to be revealed. Hence, we see Glenn Beck (and there are others on a lesser scale) who are doing their part to reveal the deception. The time has come.
Hence, we are seeing on the political stage a man such as Congressman Dr. Ron Paul running for the Republican Party nomination for President. This is November 2011 (when I initially presented this lecture) and I doubt that he will obtain the nomination, let alone the presidency a year from now, but that is not the point.
The point is that this Representative from Texas has been bearing a message in Washington for three decades, and only now is that message reaching a much wider audience. I am referring not so much to his message of rigorous adherence to the Constitution and the principles of the Founding Fathers, but to his exposure of the Federal Reserve System.
Because that ties in directly to this part of our series. The Federal Reserve System is the mechanism in America of how they control nations through the power of money. And I am going to tell you who “they” are, but first I want to repeat another point I made in the lecture titled The Rise of Financial Babylon.
It goes back to the era in the Bible before the flood and for several centuries thereafter. In those days, men could plan very long-range and live long enough to carry out their plans personally. Let’s take Methuselah as a hypothetical example. Although he was the grandfather of Noah, Methuselah was born hundreds of years before Noah.
In those days, a brilliant man like Methuselah could lay out a business plan and literally see many generations of his family be blessed with wealth by adhering to their patriarch’s brilliant plan. On the other hand, men can be brilliantly evil.
Men like Nimrod could and did plot and plan quite long-range, too. They themselves lived long enough to obtain great power and do great evil. Today, with almost everyone living less than one century, if one is going to plan long-range for good or for evil, one needs to pass the plan on to one’s family (or a secret society) to accomplish one’s long-range plans or plots.
And so I am simply agreeing with the learned Rabbi Dr. Joachim Prinz when he stated that Amschel Rothschild copied the Pierleoni in devising a long-range plan, and we can surmise from the results what the overall plan was about; namely, They control nations through the power of money.
I am repeating myself—and for good reason—because as I said, this is the essence, this is the key to understanding the modern manifestation of Mystery, Babylon the Great. So who is the “They?” Isn’t it obvious? [A skeptic says scoffing:] “Well, are you telling me that the Rothschild family controls nations through the power of money?”
Yes, I am. At the same time, I would add that it is now much broader than that, and we will come back to that a bit later. Moreover, I would challenge the skeptic to do some homework and consider that the evidence is available and so much more easily obtainable now with the ubiquity of the internet.
I cannot provide for you, even in a long series of lectures such as this, all of the information that I have absorbed on this subject since the mid-1970s. The names of the players have changed and some of the organizations have morphed into others since the 70s, but it is there, for those who are willing to do the study.
[The skeptic replies ridiculing] “Well, it sounds like you are telling me that this was a conspiracy then!”
Again, yes I am. You see, our hypothetical skeptic here represents the outcome of many decades of programming our population through the controlled news media (the Lying Legacy Media, aka the Medianites), through the entertainment media and through our public, i.e., government educational system. We have all been indoctrinated to ridicule and scoff at the very notion of conspiracies.
And yet, once again, when you (the skeptic) discipline yourself to actually investigate and try to disprove it, as many have, you will—if you are intellectually honest with yourself—you will find that conspiracies are S. O. P. Conspiracies are Standard Operating Procedure throughout the history of the world.
(To be continued.)
