Mystery Babylon and the Stone Kingdom, part 93—The blessing and curse of British and American hegemony
This chapter was first presented as a lecture at our Feast of Tabernacles Bible Conference at the Millennium Hotel in downtown St. Louis, Missouri in October of 2012.
The title of this lecture is Edom’s Supremacy Grows. As I set out composing this lecture, I realized it would be one in which there is a great deal of history to be discussed, but that not much Scripture would be used.
That is not an apology, but rather an explanation. I feel the need to explain—not to this audience in front of me—but to the very large percentage of typical Christians who might later hear this on CD, or on the internet, or if it gets published in printed form at some future time, I need to explain to some of these Christian brethren who might be under the mistaken impression that a Bible teacher should “stick to the Bible.”
As my long-time listeners recognize, however, a knowledge of history is a very important part of understanding the Bible. It has rightly been said that “All history is His-Story.” So-called secular history is, in reality, the outworking of God’s plan for man.
The history I am going to share with you today is entirely appropriate to be part of a Bible lecture series because what I am doing is showing you in considerable detail how certain prophecies in the Bible have been playing out in history.
This is lecture number 33 in our series called Mystery Babylon and the Stone Kingdom. It has been a series in which I have sought to shed light on those two entities about which the vast majority of Christians in general understand next to nothing.
Hence, I feel the need to teach some history, most of which you will not find in academic textbooks. We are at such a critical juncture in the history of God’s unfolding plan that it seems that one must offer whatever understanding one has been given on these subjects—on these entities that the Bible calls “Mystery Babylon” and the “Stone Kingdom.”
Because, the fact is, as we have seen in previous lectures, we are rapidly reaching the culmination of centuries of prophetic fulfillment. I am speaking specifically of the prophecies found in the book of Daniel, in chapters 2, 7 and 8, and in the book of Revelation, and elsewhere.
These prophesied of four great kingdoms or empires that would have rulership over God’s people during the course of nearly 27 centuries. For the past number of lectures we have been tracing the activities of the financial arm of MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, beginning in relatively recent history in the late 1700s with the rise of the House of Rothschild, the German name which means Red Shield.
We have shown how this rise of the Reds began to fulfill that which was prophesied by the patriarch Isaac way back in the book of Genesis, chapter 27, where this was foretold of Red Esau Edom:
Genesis 27:40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
Since the late 1700s, the true children of Israel, namely, the nations of the Christian West, have increasingly come under the dominion of Red Edom. Edom’s control over international banking has brought not only true Christian Israel, but now, almost the entire world under their dominion.
But God planted His Stone Kingdom on this North American continent, beginning in the 1500s, and thus we find that by the time of the founding of the united States of America, that Red Edom had its sights on this new nation, to bring it under their control. You do see what I am saying, don’t you?
In other words, our heavenly Father put it into their minds to fulfill His plan. His plan has been, as we just read in Genesis, to give Red Esau Edom the dominion over the descendants of his twin brother, Jacob-Israel, which is us, ...which is the U.S. ...and Canada ...and Great Britain ...and many other nations, and as I said a minute ago, along with that, Esau’s descendants have seized dominion over nearly every nation on the globe.
We have traced the Red fingerprints of this attempt at domination in America from the late 1700s through their agent, Alexander Hamilton, and through the war of 1812.
Then, in the last lecture, we again saw the Red fingerprints of the agents of the Red Shield, namely, Mr. August Belmont, in the Boston area and Mr. Judah P. Benjamin in the New Orleans area, and later, in Richmond, Virginia, as they attempted to break the union of states in half. (Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy.)
We saw then how the Bible had foretold exactly that in Zechariah 14:4, the details of which we will not repeat here. So at this juncture, we are going to continue tracing the acts of Red Edom with particular focus on the United States, because it is the embryonic Stone Kingdom.
The consequences of the War between the States were very tragic, sad, evil, deplorable, and lamentable in many ways. Probably thousands of volumes have been written about that great tragedy. It is not our purpose here to even begin to list the specifics of those tragic years.
But we must make note of several—and we will set forth others—of which most of my listeners may not be aware, but these are facts which comprise important parts of the overall picture concerning the struggle between Mystery Babylon and the Stone Kingdom. Let us continue our survey then, picking up where we left off last time, from the time near the end of the Civil War.
As you may know, I was born and raised in the North, in the state of Ohio. But I have lived in the South since 1980 and have many dear friends in the so-called Deep South, friends who have a very different perspective on what deep-rooted Southerners call the War between the States.
I think the South is right on that appellation because after all, what was “civil” about it? It was horrendous! Nevertheless, I will use the terms interchangeably. Having lived in both the North and the South, and having been educated on both sides (much of it self-education after graduation from the Ohio State University), I can attest that there is truth on both sides.
But we do not desire to revisit the Civil War in the sense of trying to pinpoint which side was right and which side was wrong. To do so would be an exercise in futility.
For as it so often happens, there are more than two sides. For example, let us engage in a little exercise here. (Remember, this was delivered to an audience of nearly 300 people in St. Louis, people who had come from all parts of the USA, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand and elsewhere.)
I do not want you to raise your hands just yet, but allow me to put forth this question, and let’s pretend there are only two choices: The North and the South.
How many of you think the North was right?
Then I would ask: How many of you think the South was right? We would probably get a good show of hands for both answers, if those were your only choices. But if I quoted a Scripture first—the one where God says:
“There is none righteous; no, not one”—and then I gave you a third choice, and this choice is: How many of you think there was right and wrong, good and evil, on both sides? How many of you would go for the third choice? Now let me see your hands.
That is almost everyone, as far as I can tell. Some of you… I know, I’ve done it , you’re the type of people who just like to be contrary by refusing to raise your hands, or you’re tired, or you just don’t feel like raising your hands, am I right? Raise your hands if I’m right.
So of course we know the Scriptural choice is the correct one, but let us focus purely on the natural, the historical perspective here, and we would still find it futile to argue with only two choices.
We understand the futility of arguing whether the North or the South was right when we recognize the role of the Reds. The forces of Red Edom were behind the scenes planning the conflict, fomenting and fanning the flames of hatred on both sides, then controlling the conflict and determining its outcome by financing both sides—except financing one side more than the other.
Now, after the war, what happened to the Confederate President, Jefferson Davis?
And what happened to Judah P. Benjamin, who was the Henry Kissinger for President Davis? Well, Jefferson Davis was captured on May 10, 1865, and he was locked up in a dank and dark dungeon. He was charged with treason and spent two years in prison. Finally, the charges were dropped and he was released on bail.
Shall we feel sorry for Mr. Davis? That he got treated unfairly? Do you remember the story I shared with you in the last lecture about Bloody Madison County, North Carolina? The Atrocity at Shelton Laurel?
Remember how personal vengeance played such a huge role in the atrocities? Well, do you think President Lincoln was a wholly innocent saint? Do you think Confederate President Davis was a guiltless saint?
Since the previous lecture I came across some information in a book entitled: Secret Societies of America’s Elite: From the Knights Templar to Skull and Bones. This book does not come from a so-called right-wing publisher, but one which would be called New Age and very left-leaning.
What I will quote to you now confirms some of the things I have shared with you previously and adds some new and revealing facts. Author Stephen Sora writes:
“...Lincoln actually did instigate a plot to attack the Confederate capitol at Richmond and kill the Confederate president, Jefferson Davis, and his cabinet. Colonel Ulrich Dahlgren was handpicked by Lincoln to lead the attack, but was killed in the attempt. .... In retaliation, the plot to kill Lincoln was hatched by none other than Davis and his secretary of state, Judah Benjamin...
“Born in the British West Indies of Sephardic Jewish parents, he was part of a large and active Jewish community that thrived in the Southern pre-Civil War states. Benjamin’s mentor in the pre-Civil War period was John Slidell, an influential New Yorker...
Now here is the part that was new to me (all emphasis and [words in brackets] are mine—JWB):
“Slidell’s connections were very much tied to Europe, where his daughter married into the prestigious French-Jewish banking house Erlanger et Cie. (Erlanger and Company, in English.)
Slidell’s niece married August Belmont, who represented the even more prestigious Rothschild Bank. The friendships of Slidell helped Benjamin develop connections in Europe that benefited the South during the war. ...
“Benjamin also became also became the head of the Confederate intelligence. ...He established operations in Canada... More than one million dollars was held in Canada for the attempt ...to kill or kidnap the president. ...the Confederate Secretary of state [Judah Benjamin] helped destroy any evidence by burning all his papers ....”
We have mentioned in an earlier lecture concerning other connections of Judah Benjamin which tie him to the actual assassination of Lincoln so we won’t belabor that point. So Jeff Davis was sent to prison, but Judah P. Benjamin was allowed to board a ship for England in August of 1865.
He was briefly detained before boarding, but then strangely allowed to proceed. Benjamin was the only high-ranking Confederate official never to return to the United States. After a week in London, he then journeyed to Paris where John Slidell had arranged for him to meet a number of French bankers.
Slidell hoped his former law partner and fellow former U. S. Senator would choose a generously-compensated position there in Paris. Hmmm. Do you suppose those French bankers just might have been the Erlangers and the Rothschilds?
In the end, Judah Benjamin settled into a very comfortable and lucrative life in England as a lawyer. In the biography entitled, Judah P. Benjamin, The Jewish Confederate, author Eli Evans wrote: “Despite lingering suspicions and investigations by his enemies in the United States, Benjamin had an extraordinary career in England, rising to the position of Queen’s Counsel...”
Well, we can now understand why Benjamin never returned to the United States. His complicity in the assassination of Lincoln was uncovered and the U. S. government demanded that the British extradite him. But Prime Minister Lord Palmerston, who was also at that time the head of British Freemasonry, blocked the extradition. (1784–1865)
Eli Evans writes further that in his second career in England, Judah P. Benjamin “wrote a brilliant legal treatise still studied by law students today, known as Benjamin on Sales, and as one of the leading international commercial lawyers in England contributed to British financial and commercial hegemony in the nineteenth century.”
May I translate that for you? Judah P. Benjamin went on to continue serving the Rothschilds and Red Edom as they controlled England through the Bank of England and brought much of the globe under their control through the British Commonwealth and British colonization.
What it comes down to is this: Both in Britain and in America, there are and have been for the past two centuries hundreds of thousands of small and mid-sized businesses where people are just trying to make an honest living and have something to pass on to their children. In the course of those successes, we have been blest with a very high standard of living.
But at the top of both industry and commerce, during both British commercial hegemony in the 19th century and American hegemony in the 20th century, was and is, in actuality, the power of financial Mystery Babylon as exerted through the Rothschilds and their many related Red banking families.
We shall discuss some of the others in due course. This is the time of Red Edom’s supremacy, as planned by your heavenly Father and as He foretold through the mouth of our forefather Isaac.
To relate this to today, one month before the U.S. presidential election of 2012, we have an incumbent president, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama, who was surrounded and trained by communist mentors from his childhood on, open communists such as Frank Marshall Davis. (Whom I have come to believe was Obama’s real father. There is much more evidence than this set of photos. Do a web search.)
The young Obama was taught that colonialism by the European powers and America’s hidden commercial colonialism—that all colonialism was completely unjust and all the lesser nations of the world have suffered greatly, primarily because of Great Britain and the United States.
This (mis-) education partly explains why Obama is doing everything in his power to bring down the United States and why he snubs Britain. I believe that Mr. Obama is very passionate and believes to his very core the indoctrination he received all his life.
At the same time, I believe that he does not have a clue that he is being controlled, guided and manipulated by the very same forces of Red Edom who were the ones actually responsible for what he perceives as all the evils of Western Colonialism. Classic Marxist indoctrination!
And he is helping to bring America and the world to the state of chaos that Red Edom has planned for the near future, so that they may openly show themselves as the world’s masters and bring the entire world under an iron yoke. (Now, in January of 2021, we are witnessing this happen before our eyes.)
Let me take a moment now, for the purpose of segue, and for the sake of accuracy, to return to British Prime Minister Disraeli. In my last lecture, I neglected to mention that although Disraeli was a Sephardic Jew by birth, he later claimed Christianity as his religion.
Whether that was just for show or he actually did believe in Christ, I do not know, Jesus will judge him on that. But in my view, based on the historical record, it is clear that all his life he served the interests of Red Edom in their 19th century incarnation as the Rothschild and inter-related families.
To repeat from last lecture, Disraeli, speaking at a Rothschild wedding said “If you like, we shall divide the United States into two parts, one for you, James [Rothschild], and one for you Lionel [Rothschild]...”
We further remember how August Belmont had worked for years to build up the industrial strength of the North on behalf of, and with funding from his Rothschild superiors. Thus, the war to divide the nation in half commenced.
The Rothschilds instructed their affiliated American banks to offer loans to Lincoln’s government at rates ranging from 24 to 36% interest. Lincoln refused and simply had the U.S. Treasury print 450 million dollars of currency and had Congress declare it legal tender. It was the last time in our history that debt-free U.S. notes were issued.
This act, as much as any other, was what probably got Lincoln killed. Many students of non-Establishment-approved history also know that President Kennedy had likewise planned for the U.S. government itself to issue debt-free money; i.e., like Lincoln, to issue currency that would be outside the control and of no profit for the international bankers.
Many believe likewise that this was the major reason he also was assassinated. We could also add President James A. Garfield to the list because he, too, had announced his intent to issue debt-free currency. He was shot just four months into his term and died from the wounds in September of 1881.
In a message to Congress in 1865 Lincoln had declared: “I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me, and the financial institution in the rear. Of the two, the one in my rear is my greatest foe.”
In our era of history, I trust you understand that when it comes to Mystery Babylon, it is always about the money and with it, the control of nations. The Reds simply cannot be content to live and let live, to allow a nation and its people to “live long and prosper.” Why? What’s the reason?
