HEADLINE: Syria threatens response to 'Zionist aggresion'
The Syrian army announced that four Israeli aircraft had entered Syrian airspace overnight and struck a military target near the ancient city of Palmyra.
Syria claimed that it shot down one of the four planes. "Four Israeli planes penetrated our air space at 2:40 AM via Lebanese territory and hit a military target on the way to Palmyra," the army said in a statement carried by state news agency SANA.
"Our air defense engaged them and shot down one warplane over occupied territory, hit another one and forced the rest to flee," the statement added.
The IDF confirmed that its aircraft were fired upon over Syria Thursday night. However, the IDF stated that the Arrow-3 missile defense system protected the planes from damage.
The IDF statement said that "several anti-aircraft missiles were launched from Syria during the operation. One of the missiles was intercepted by the air defense systems of the IDF.”
An explosion from a Syrian anti-aircraft missile was heard in the city of Modiin south of Tel Aviv in central Israel. Two of the missiles reportedly landed in Israel, while a third reportedly landed in Jordan.
Syria threatened to respond harshly to the air strike. "This flagrant attack is part of the Zionist enemy's persistent efforts to support the terrorist gangs of ISIS," the Syrian army said.
"It will be responded to directly with all possible means," it added.

HEADLINE: AJC urges Congress to back letter to Trump calling for two-states
The American Jewish Committee is rallying support for a congressional letter to President Donald Trump urging him to reaffirm support for a two-state solution, the latest signal that the American Jewish establishment is committed to preserving the policy.
On Wednesday, the AJC sent a letter to members of the US House of Representatives asking them to sign on and support the letter authored by Reps. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., and David Price, D-N.C., and other measures that preserve peacemaking options even though “current conditions do not provide grounds for optimism.” Meanwhile, Senior Hamas leader Mahmoud Al-Zahar recently declared that "removing the Jews from the land they occupied in 1948 is an immutable principle" in the Koran.
Speaking to Hamas’s Al-Aqsa TV on March 8, Al-Zahar also made clear, "Our position is: Palestine in its entirety, and not a grain of soil less."

HEADLINE: Head of UN's ESCWA resigns over report on "apartheid" Israel
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has asked the UN regional commission that represents most Arab countries to remove a report from its website accusing Israel of practicing an "apartheid regime" against Palestinians, a UN official said on Friday.
The report for the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia, which comprises 18 Arab states, concluded that "Israel has established an apartheid regime that dominates the Palestinian people as a whole."
The accusation—often directed against Israel by its critics—has never before been made by a United Nations body.
Rima Khalaf, UN Under-Secretary General and ESCWA Executive Secretary, resigned Friday, after what she described as pressure from the secretary general to withdraw the report. Khalaf announced her resignation at a news conference in Beirut.
In her remarks, Khalaf said, "It was expected that Israel and its allies would put enormous pressure on the United Nations secretary general to renounce the report."
Despite pressure, Khalaf stands by the report, calling it the "first of its kind" from a UN agency that sheds light on "the crimes that Israel continues to commit against the Palestinian people, which amount to war crimes against humanity."

HEADLINE: PA furious over terrorist designation
Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday slammed Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman’s decision to designate the Palestinian National Fund (PNF) as a terrorist organization.
A statement issued by Abbas’s bureau said that the PNF is one of the institutions of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), which operates according to international agreements and standards.
"At a time when the U.S. administration is working through talks with all parties and when President Trump's envoy is in the region to prepare an atmosphere conducive to peacemaking, this announcement is an attempt by Israel to put obstacles and thwart American efforts," the statement said.
"We strongly oppose this decision and demand that the Israeli government immediately deal with it and cancel it, as this will lead to the collapse of the foundations of the Oslo Agreement and the legal relationship with Israel," it warned.

HEADLINE: Jordan Refuses Unusual US Demand to Extradite Palestinian Terrorist
The Jordanian government has refused an anomalous U.S. request to extradite a Palestinian terrorist.
The Department of Justice’s extradition request for Ahlam Tamimi, who was behind a 2001 terror attack in Jerusalem that resulted in Israeli and American deaths, breaks with past U.S. policy on such terror-related cases. Prior to the Trump administration, legal cases against such terrorists constituted either criminal proceedings in Israeli courts or civil proceedings brought by family members in U.S. courts.
The request calls on Jordan to hand over Tamimi, a female Hamas terrorist who had previously been jailed by Israel for her connection to the Sbarro pizza restaurant terror attack in Jerusalem in August 2001, but was released by Israel as part of the controversial 2011 Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange. The 2001 bombing attack killed 15 people, including seven children and a pregnant woman, and wounded 130.
In its refusal of America’s request, Jordan’s government cited a domestic court ruling that forbids the extradition of Jordanian nationals under the Hashemite Kingdom’s constitution.

“But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately.” (Luke 21:9-10) commotions; the Greek word here is Akatastasia, meaning instability, a state of disorder, disturbance, confusion, revolutions; “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places” (Matthew 24:6-7) the Greek word for nation is Ethnos & refers to various ethnic groups fighting among themselves, where the next sentence in the verse refers to kingdoms (basileiva) fighting one another (not to be confused with an actual kingdom but rather the right or authority to rule over a kingdom) “Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.” (Revelation 6:4) So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth (Revelation 6:8)
HEADLINE: Hezbollah is preparing Syria as second battlefield against Israel
Hezbollah intends to wage its next war against Israel from deep within Syria, according to a report on a pro-Hezbollah news site last week.
The report, found on the web site Ya Sour, quoted Hezbollah sources saying the group intends to fire long-range projectiles at the Jewish state from the Qalamoun and Anti-Lebanon Mountain ranges, areas firmly under the Shiite group’s control on both the Syrian and Lebanese sides of the border.
There is reason to suspect that Hezbollah has indeed built up a missile arsenal in those areas, particularly as the city of Baalbek, the heartland of its Beqaa Valley stronghold, lies nearby. Israeli airstrikes against the group in Syria have been concentrated in Qalamoun. Moreover, a spokesman for the opposition’s Syrian National Salvation Front, named Fahd al-Masri, said in Dec. 2016 that Hezbollah was nearing completion of a tunnel in the Zabadani valley linking these two areas. Hezbollah seeks to facilitate the transfer of weapons and “reinforce its presence in the strategically important areas” in the western Damascus countryside, which includes Qalamoun, according to al-Masri.
Earlier in 2016, satellite images revealed a Hezbollah weapons warehouse slightly north of that area in Qusayr, where the group reportedly housed Katyusha rockets, mortars and howitzers. Reports also claimed Hezbollah was storing longer-range, Iranian-produced ballistic missiles there, including the Shahab-1, Shahab-2 and Fateh-110/M-600, which the organization could use to strike Israel.

HEADLINE: Russia warns against Yemen port attack
The Russian Foreign Ministry has warned that the Saudi-led coalition’s plans to launch an assault on Yemen’s biggest port city, Al Hudaydah, will greatly impact the humanitarian situation in the war-torn country.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement published on the ministry’s official website that the coalition’s plans to attack Yemen’s biggest port of Hudaydah is causing serious concerns.
A naval blockade by a Saudi-led coalition carrying out air strikes against the yemeni forces is depriving the population of life-sustaining commodities and services.
Zakharova added that battles in this area “would not only inevitably lead to a mass exodus of the [local] population but would also de facto cut the [Yemeni] capital of Sanaa from… food and humanitarian aid supplies.”

HEADLINE: U.S. denies bombing Syrian mosque where dozens died- Aleppo
The U.S. military said it carried out an attack on a building where al-Qaida militants were meeting in Syria, not on a mosque next door where activists say 46 civilians were killed in a bombing.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the incident occurred in the town of al-Jinah in Aleppo's western countryside. Al-Jinah is located in one of the main rebel-held parts of Syria.
U.S. Central Command spokesman Col. John J. Thomas said the intended target was destroyed late Thursday but the mosque near the target was not struck.
"We did not target any mosques," Thomas said. "What we did target was destroyed. There is a mosque within 50 feet of that building that is still standing."
However, local activists and the SOHR said at least 46 people were killed -- adding the death toll could rise as some are in critical condition and others are missing. The SOHR said it does not know to what country the warplanes that bombed the mosque belong.

South Sudan's government is mainly to blame for famine in parts of the war-torn country, yet President Salva Kiir is still boosting his forces using millions of dollars from oil sales, according to a confidential United Nations report.
U.N. sanctions monitors said 97 percent of South Sudan's known revenue comes from oil sales, a significant portion of which is now forward oil sales, and that at least half of the budget - "likely substantially more" - is devoted to security.

Thousands of Libyans have staged mass demonstrations in a rare show of defiance against powerful militias encroaching into Libya's capital, Tripoli, after days of clashes that have effectively chopped the city into warring fiefdoms. This week, four days of intense fighting saw pro-unity government armed forces expand their control in the capital Tripoli, where dozens of militias operate.
Further east, troops commanded by military strongman Khalifa Haftar said on Tuesday they had recaptured two important oil installations seized by a rival Islamist-led force in early March.
Pickup trucks mounted with anti-aircraft weapons attacked the Friday protests, forcing many to flee, according to TV network Libya Channel.
Protesters chanted slogans against the militias and called for a unified army and police. Some voiced support for the eastern-based army commander Khalifa Hifter, who is opposed by his Tripoli-based rivals which include the U.N.-brokered government and militias in the capital.
"We won't go home until our demands are met," said 27-year-old protester Mohamed Zein. "We ask for all militias that have come from outside of Tripoli to leave immediately."

An explosion from a Syrian anti-aircraft missile was heard in the city of Modiin south of Tel Aviv in central Israel. Two of the missiles reportedly landed in Israel, while a third reportedly landed in Jordan.
Syria threatened to respond harshly to the air strike. "This flagrant attack is part of the Zionist enemy's persistent efforts to support the terrorist gangs of ISIS," the Syrian army said.
"It will be responded to directly with all possible means," it added.

HEADLINE: AJC urges Congress to back letter to Trump calling for two-states
The American Jewish Committee is rallying support for a congressional letter to President Donald Trump urging him to reaffirm support for a two-state solution, the latest signal that the American Jewish establishment is committed to preserving the policy.
On Wednesday, the AJC sent a letter to members of the US House of Representatives asking them to sign on and support the letter authored by Reps. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., and David Price, D-N.C., and other measures that preserve peacemaking options even though “current conditions do not provide grounds for optimism.” Meanwhile, Senior Hamas leader Mahmoud Al-Zahar recently declared that "removing the Jews from the land they occupied in 1948 is an immutable principle" in the Koran.
Speaking to Hamas’s Al-Aqsa TV on March 8, Al-Zahar also made clear, "Our position is: Palestine in its entirety, and not a grain of soil less."

HEADLINE: Head of UN's ESCWA resigns over report on "apartheid" Israel
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has asked the UN regional commission that represents most Arab countries to remove a report from its website accusing Israel of practicing an "apartheid regime" against Palestinians, a UN official said on Friday.
The report for the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia, which comprises 18 Arab states, concluded that "Israel has established an apartheid regime that dominates the Palestinian people as a whole."
The accusation—often directed against Israel by its critics—has never before been made by a United Nations body.
Rima Khalaf, UN Under-Secretary General and ESCWA Executive Secretary, resigned Friday, after what she described as pressure from the secretary general to withdraw the report. Khalaf announced her resignation at a news conference in Beirut.
In her remarks, Khalaf said, "It was expected that Israel and its allies would put enormous pressure on the United Nations secretary general to renounce the report."
Despite pressure, Khalaf stands by the report, calling it the "first of its kind" from a UN agency that sheds light on "the crimes that Israel continues to commit against the Palestinian people, which amount to war crimes against humanity."

HEADLINE: PA furious over terrorist designation
Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday slammed Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman’s decision to designate the Palestinian National Fund (PNF) as a terrorist organization.
A statement issued by Abbas’s bureau said that the PNF is one of the institutions of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), which operates according to international agreements and standards.
"At a time when the U.S. administration is working through talks with all parties and when President Trump's envoy is in the region to prepare an atmosphere conducive to peacemaking, this announcement is an attempt by Israel to put obstacles and thwart American efforts," the statement said.
"We strongly oppose this decision and demand that the Israeli government immediately deal with it and cancel it, as this will lead to the collapse of the foundations of the Oslo Agreement and the legal relationship with Israel," it warned.

HEADLINE: Jordan Refuses Unusual US Demand to Extradite Palestinian Terrorist
The Jordanian government has refused an anomalous U.S. request to extradite a Palestinian terrorist.
The Department of Justice’s extradition request for Ahlam Tamimi, who was behind a 2001 terror attack in Jerusalem that resulted in Israeli and American deaths, breaks with past U.S. policy on such terror-related cases. Prior to the Trump administration, legal cases against such terrorists constituted either criminal proceedings in Israeli courts or civil proceedings brought by family members in U.S. courts.
The request calls on Jordan to hand over Tamimi, a female Hamas terrorist who had previously been jailed by Israel for her connection to the Sbarro pizza restaurant terror attack in Jerusalem in August 2001, but was released by Israel as part of the controversial 2011 Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange. The 2001 bombing attack killed 15 people, including seven children and a pregnant woman, and wounded 130.
In its refusal of America’s request, Jordan’s government cited a domestic court ruling that forbids the extradition of Jordanian nationals under the Hashemite Kingdom’s constitution.

“But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately.” (Luke 21:9-10) commotions; the Greek word here is Akatastasia, meaning instability, a state of disorder, disturbance, confusion, revolutions; “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places” (Matthew 24:6-7) the Greek word for nation is Ethnos & refers to various ethnic groups fighting among themselves, where the next sentence in the verse refers to kingdoms (basileiva) fighting one another (not to be confused with an actual kingdom but rather the right or authority to rule over a kingdom) “Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.” (Revelation 6:4) So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth (Revelation 6:8)
HEADLINE: Hezbollah is preparing Syria as second battlefield against Israel
Hezbollah intends to wage its next war against Israel from deep within Syria, according to a report on a pro-Hezbollah news site last week.
The report, found on the web site Ya Sour, quoted Hezbollah sources saying the group intends to fire long-range projectiles at the Jewish state from the Qalamoun and Anti-Lebanon Mountain ranges, areas firmly under the Shiite group’s control on both the Syrian and Lebanese sides of the border.
There is reason to suspect that Hezbollah has indeed built up a missile arsenal in those areas, particularly as the city of Baalbek, the heartland of its Beqaa Valley stronghold, lies nearby. Israeli airstrikes against the group in Syria have been concentrated in Qalamoun. Moreover, a spokesman for the opposition’s Syrian National Salvation Front, named Fahd al-Masri, said in Dec. 2016 that Hezbollah was nearing completion of a tunnel in the Zabadani valley linking these two areas. Hezbollah seeks to facilitate the transfer of weapons and “reinforce its presence in the strategically important areas” in the western Damascus countryside, which includes Qalamoun, according to al-Masri.
Earlier in 2016, satellite images revealed a Hezbollah weapons warehouse slightly north of that area in Qusayr, where the group reportedly housed Katyusha rockets, mortars and howitzers. Reports also claimed Hezbollah was storing longer-range, Iranian-produced ballistic missiles there, including the Shahab-1, Shahab-2 and Fateh-110/M-600, which the organization could use to strike Israel.

HEADLINE: Russia warns against Yemen port attack
The Russian Foreign Ministry has warned that the Saudi-led coalition’s plans to launch an assault on Yemen’s biggest port city, Al Hudaydah, will greatly impact the humanitarian situation in the war-torn country.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement published on the ministry’s official website that the coalition’s plans to attack Yemen’s biggest port of Hudaydah is causing serious concerns.
A naval blockade by a Saudi-led coalition carrying out air strikes against the yemeni forces is depriving the population of life-sustaining commodities and services.
Zakharova added that battles in this area “would not only inevitably lead to a mass exodus of the [local] population but would also de facto cut the [Yemeni] capital of Sanaa from… food and humanitarian aid supplies.”

HEADLINE: U.S. denies bombing Syrian mosque where dozens died- Aleppo
The U.S. military said it carried out an attack on a building where al-Qaida militants were meeting in Syria, not on a mosque next door where activists say 46 civilians were killed in a bombing.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the incident occurred in the town of al-Jinah in Aleppo's western countryside. Al-Jinah is located in one of the main rebel-held parts of Syria.
U.S. Central Command spokesman Col. John J. Thomas said the intended target was destroyed late Thursday but the mosque near the target was not struck.
"We did not target any mosques," Thomas said. "What we did target was destroyed. There is a mosque within 50 feet of that building that is still standing."
However, local activists and the SOHR said at least 46 people were killed -- adding the death toll could rise as some are in critical condition and others are missing. The SOHR said it does not know to what country the warplanes that bombed the mosque belong.

The unprecedented rhetoric is raising concerns as to whether Turkish-EU relations can recover. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, having already accused EU members Germany and the Netherlands of being fascists and Nazis, has extended his war of words to the entire bloc.
Erdogan accused EU countries of persecuting Muslims like Jews were during World War II, and said that the “spirit of fascism” was running wild on the streets of Europe. In the meantime, his foreign minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu, warned that Europe will be the site of what he called “holy wars’ that will ultimately destroy it.

Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev, however, in talks with national security adviser Haneef Atmar, assured him that Moscow is working only to promote stability in Afghanistan.
“Our recent contacts with the armed opposition [Taliban] are aimed only at encouraging the group to join the Afghan government-led peace process,” Atmar’s spokesman, Tawab Ghorzang, quoted the Patrushev as telling the Afghan delegation in Friday's meeting.

South Sudan's government is mainly to blame for famine in parts of the war-torn country, yet President Salva Kiir is still boosting his forces using millions of dollars from oil sales, according to a confidential United Nations report.
U.N. sanctions monitors said 97 percent of South Sudan's known revenue comes from oil sales, a significant portion of which is now forward oil sales, and that at least half of the budget - "likely substantially more" - is devoted to security.
"Revenue from forward oil sales totaled approximately $243 million between late March and late October 2016," the panel of U.N. monitors said in the report to the U.N. Security Council, seen by Reuters on Thursday.
"Despite the scale and scope of the political, humanitarian, and economic crises, the panel continues to uncover evidence of the ongoing procurement of weapons by the ... Government for the SPLA (South Sudanese army), the National Security Service, and other associated forces and militias," the report said.

Thousands of Libyans have staged mass demonstrations in a rare show of defiance against powerful militias encroaching into Libya's capital, Tripoli, after days of clashes that have effectively chopped the city into warring fiefdoms. This week, four days of intense fighting saw pro-unity government armed forces expand their control in the capital Tripoli, where dozens of militias operate.
Further east, troops commanded by military strongman Khalifa Haftar said on Tuesday they had recaptured two important oil installations seized by a rival Islamist-led force in early March.
Pickup trucks mounted with anti-aircraft weapons attacked the Friday protests, forcing many to flee, according to TV network Libya Channel.
Protesters chanted slogans against the militias and called for a unified army and police. Some voiced support for the eastern-based army commander Khalifa Hifter, who is opposed by his Tripoli-based rivals which include the U.N.-brokered government and militias in the capital.
"We won't go home until our demands are met," said 27-year-old protester Mohamed Zein. "We ask for all militias that have come from outside of Tripoli to leave immediately."

Thousands once again took to the streets in Brazil to protest on Wednesday, this time against the government’s proposed pension reform. In some cities, public transportation came to a halt, leaving millions with no way to go to work. Former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva participated in the protest, speaking against the Social Security reform at the end of the rally. According to Lula the current administration wants to end the gains of the working class through labor and welfare reforms. In Rio de Janeiro, protesters concentrated around the Igreja da Candelaria in the late afternoon and marched on to Central do Brasil, Rio’s main train station. Although most of the protest was calm, a group of demonstrators clashed with police in Cinelandia, and military police ended up throwing tear gas demonstrators and clients at the Amarelinho bar one of the most traditional and old in the city.

Senior Dhaka police official Krishna Pada Roy said police were investigating the incident. It occurred a day after four people linked to a deadly cafe attack in the capital last year were killed when their suicide vests exploded during a raid in the southeastern town of Chittagong.
The injured police officers were taken to Dhaka's military hospital.
Mufti Mahmud Khan, director of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), told reporters that a man aged about 25 had blown himself up when challenged as he tried to enter the police special security force's base, which is still under construction.
Initial evidence suggested he was a member of an extremist group, Khan said.

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

In a bill aimed at securing a "right to be forgotten," introduced by Assemblyman David I. Weprin and (as Senate Bill 4561 by state Sen. Tony Avella), liberal New York politicians would require people to remove ‘inaccurate,’ ‘irrelevant,’ ‘inadequate’ or ‘excessive’ statements about others...
Within 30 days of a ”request from an individual,”
“all search engines and online speakers] shall remove … content about such individual, and links or indexes to any of the same, that is ‘inaccurate’, ‘irrelevant’, ‘inadequate’ or ‘excessive,’ ”
“and without replacing such removed … content with any disclaimer [or] takedown notice.”
“ ‘[I]naccurate’, ‘irrelevant’, ‘inadequate’, or ‘excessive’ shall mean content,”
“which after a significant lapse in time from its first publication,”
“is no longer material to current public debate or discourse,”
“especially when considered in light of the financial, reputational and/or demonstrable other harm that the information … is causing to the requester’s professional, financial, reputational or other interest,”
“with the exception of content related to convicted felonies, legal matters relating to violence, or a matter that is of significant current public interest, and as to which the requester’s role with regard to the matter is central and substantial.”
Failure to comply would make the search engines or speakers liable for, at least, statutory damages of $250/day plus attorney fees.
As The Washington Post's Eugene Volokh rages, under this bill, newspapers, scholarly works, copies of books on Google Books and Amazon, online encyclopedias (Wikipedia and others) — all would have to be censored whenever a judge and jury found (or the author expected them to find) that the speech was “no longer material to current public debate or discourse” (except when it was “related to convicted felonies” or “legal matters relating to violence” in which the subject played a “central and substantial” role).

Of “THE WOUNDED HEAD”
Revelation 17:11
Of “THE WOUNDED HEAD”
Revelation 17:11
The “perception of resurrection” of “THE WOUNDED HEAD” - Revelation 17:11.
American “values”, once respected and envied by many around the world, are now HATED by a degenerate humanity, who is looking for an iniquitous WORLD EMPEROR who governs by Gentile laws.
America, with its’ current President, Donald J. Trump, presently STANDS IN THE WAY of this prophetic end-time fulfillment of this FINAL world empire and it’s emperor “anti-Christ!
Though Trump is engaged in a valiant attempt to disengage lawless decadence, his battle is against those who are empowered by satan and who embrace the epitomes of principalities, powers and rulers of the darkness of this world that are controlled by spiritual wickedness in high places and will ONLY relinquish its’ death-grip from the necks of humanity by it’s (his) conquest upon the triumphant Return of Yeshua! Ephesians 6:12. / II Corinthians 4:4.
As Trump continues to battle against the decades of depraved human practices that now dominate American culture, a once great nation has been transformed into a Whore of prophetic consequence and to the glee of wicked men, whose vile behavior mirror the very days of Noah and Lot, the antitheses of Christ and the Divine principles of His Word. President, Trump’s sincere efforts to restore some Judeo/Christian values to this nation, will be unsuccessful as prophesied in the book of Revelation. "Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be Done".
The infra-structure of Washington DC, constructed by the Free Masons, was an act of dedication to the ancient “gods”, who ruled prior world empires.
These "engineers of darkness" were involved in the process of creating the “incubator” of the FINAL world emperor, "anti-Christ" and his soon coming EIGHTH empire! Revelation 17 & 18. Historical records detail these efforts of the so-called “forefathers” and founders of America, describing the establishment of “such a place” on earth where anarchy against the Almighty could be realized.
The “finger prints” of secret societies, and principalities of darkness did indeed lay siege to the foundation of America, clearly illustrated in the "dark foot-print" of the architectural design of its Capital, Washington DC, “hidden in plain-site” and complete with ancient pagan Icons.
HOWEVER, Divine intervention superseded this ploy of satanic origin as the FIRST American intercessions, the Pilgrims, restrained the plans of the "evil one" and laid the superior spiritual Judeo/Christian foundation of this Nation, with purpose to promote the "voice of the Bride and Bridegroom” throughout the earth.
This "great commission" was carried out for centuries until America eventually succumbed to the “god of this world”, captivated by the "lust for the things of this world" and willing participation in human decadent behavior. It IS the Christian Pilgrim whose prayers of dedication to Christ concerning this new land, RESTRAINED this final world empire from fruition UNTIL NOW!!! Revelation 18:22-24 / Revelation 19:6-9.
Such is the destiny and imminent future this entire world, until Yeshua restores His Kingdom on earth! “Thy Kingdom Come … Thy Will be Done … on earth as it IS in Heaven”!
Certainly Believers, the (True Church), is empowered by the Holy Spirit and able to bind, arrest, restrict, inhibit, prohibit certain principalities of wickedness from operating in their midst. Luke 10:19. It IS however, the “god of this world” has been able to achieve dominance over the majority of the global population of some 7+ Billion souls. "As it was in the days of Noah and Lot, SO SHALL IT BE". Matthew 24:37 / Luke 17: 26-28.
America, is the ONLY political power to have unequivocally influenced, in any significant way, the political & religious human conduct around the world since the days of the Empire of Rome. Even in modernity, the so-called Imperial Japanese and British empires NEVER achieved the global eminence and sphere of influence of that of the United States of American. This fact is INDISPUTABLE!
Before the United States existed, reaching back into history from the time of the end of the Roman Empire, to the establishment of the United States of America, the nations of the world were disengaged, fractured with convoluted warring factions striving unsuccessfully to recapture and “resurrect” control of their perceived empires, as they faced insurmountable technical challenges of ever-expanding humanity and were never able to put (Humpty Dumpty), another “world empire” together again UNTIL a “nation was born”, that would overcome the barriers to the prophetic fulfillment of the seventh empire, BECAUSE this undoubtedly is the Will of God!
America, the SEVENTH world empire in succession of SIX, IS the ONLY Gentile empire in modernity to have significantly influenced world affairs for the past two plus centuries. This seventh empire will now be rendered insignificant by the enemies Jehovah because of her wickedness.
“I saw a beast coming out of the sea, (of humanity). It had ten horns, (kings) and seven HEADS, (empires) with ten crowns on its horns… One of the (SEVEN) HEADS of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed”: …
“This calls for a mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman (Mystery Babylon) sits. There are also seven kings. Five are fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while”.… Revelation 17:9-10.
The “ONE that WAS”, at the time of the writing of this prophecy IS the SIXTH (6th) HEAD, documented as ROME.
The “ONE to COME”, as prophesied then IS the “SEVENTH, (7th) HEAD”, now understood to be the United States of America, (Mystery Babylon).
NOTICE, this SEVENTH “HEAD” (empire), Mystery Babylon, will only influence humanity “FOR A LITTLE WHILE”!
Of ALL world empires recorded throughout history, ONLY the United States has the distinguished honor of the shortest duration, yet MOST profound influential impact upon the ENTIRE world during these past 200+ years of its' existence. No other world empire has rose to global prominence as has America.
NOTE: The cumulative legacy of ALL SIX (6) prior world empires, “RESTS UPON THE SEVENTH (7th) empire, Mystery Babylon. Revelation 17:9-10. THERE WILL BE ONLY ONE MORE, the EIGHTH and FINAL world empire of the BEAST of Revelation. THIS DAY HAS COME and NOTHING will prevent ITS' manifestation however Yeshua will CRUSH "IT" upon his Return!
The “pinnacle of evil” as experienced in “days of Lot and Noah”, MUST again come to pass, in order that the FINAL 8th world empire and its emperor can attempt to fulfill satan’s original abominable plan to usurp Authority over the Lord of Lords! Of course, this plan will initiate the absolute demise of satan, his son of perdition, the false prophet, Francis of Rome and ALL those who follow after them! Daniel 2:44.
As the SIXTH Empire of Roman eventually “split” into TWO directions, (east and west), these two (legs), of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of the anatomy of a “statue" as described in Daniel 2:44, representing world empires whose non-repent peoples, “scattered” throughout the earth in search of a NEW place to FINISH this “unholy quest” of world domination.
During the final days of Mystery Babylon, the Mother of Harlots, the “son of perdition” affixed his “hatred” on American Judeo/Christian values aggressively changing many “times & laws”, in his attempt to transform of a God-fearing people into that of whore and did so “under” American Constitutional restraints.
HUSSEIN, who by his lawlessness revealed himself as the “son of perdition” and who IS destined, like Judas, by “his own” evil intent, to fill the shoes of the “anti-Christ”. This “man” DID in fact rise to global political awareness WHILE he was “bridled and straddled”, (restrained), by the Harlot of Babylon.
Hussein’s demonic empowerment to “change” times and laws, insured that no one will successfully reverse his ensconced depraved efforts to defy the laws of Jehovah and establish his world of abomination.
His apparent demise, (fatal wound) “BY THE SWORD”, is a direct reference to his political and religious fortification of ISLAM during his eight-year aggressive support for Islamic Jihad that began with his enthusiastic support for the “Arab Spring” and the Islamic chaos that followed.
BECAUSE of Hussein's aggressive support of the “pale green horse” of Revelation, this "horse" of Seal # 4, was enabled to advance its' FINAL global conquest during the “Arab Spring”, Muslims now represent some 1.8+ Billion in number and make up approximately 1/4 of the earth's population.
The ISLAMIC SWORD of death, famine and terror, has advanced through lawless MIGRATION into the earth's populations of some 7+Billion precisely as prophesied! Revelation 6:7-9 / Revelation 13:14.
THE SWORD of ISLAM is poised to carry out the will of the son of perdition during his days of abomination. (Adherents of Islam constitute the world's second largest religious group. According to a study in 2015, Islam has 1.8 billion adherents, making up about 24% of the world population).
In a "SANE" world, this overt support for the violent Islamic enemies of Israel and Christianity should have insured his banishment from fulfilling future political ambitions however, this world has become so perverted that the son of perdition will be rewarded by sadistic global minds who will embrace him and his divisive methodology and will soon honor him as supreme emperor of this final global empire.
Hussein WILL use the “SWORD of ISLAM” as his preferred weapon to enforce political correctness which incorporates the institution of” MARK of the BEAST). Revelation 12:13-14.
Hussein successfully slithered away into the darkness, only to soon be resurrected into the “international” arena and receive adulation as a “world community organizer”, an endeavor that IS orchestrated by the devil’s minions, yet IS destined to fail. Daniel 7:25 / Daniel 8:12.
His SOON “resurrection” to world leadership and his disdain for America and Israel, will provoke him to take vengeance against the United States and Israel, BOTH “cities of unwalled villages”. It is at this moment in history that he will be supported by a “GROUP of TEN”, “ten crowns on its horns”, and will succeed with his revenge against the Harlot of Babylon.
The Lord will however defend the Nation of Israel, who will suffer loss, yet will remain intact, though a Nation that is overshadowed by anti-Christ until Messiah Yeshua comes. Revelation 17:16 / Ezekiel 38-39.
In addition to the vengeful acts of the anti-Christ, there will also be a Divine shaking of the entire earth, Region #1 NOT excluded. The SIXTH SEAL of Revelation will make the Americas a third-world environment. Europe WILL become the CONTROL CENTER of the Empire of the Beast”, Daniel 2:44.
NOTES:
The recorded "possession" by satan of the man Judas, did indeed complete the transition of the man into a “son of perdition”. the same can be said regarding the "man" who will become the anti-Christ. Luke 22:3.
As Judas "destiny" was by choice the, "seed" of betrayal existed within him by nature, thus he was "destined" to become the son of perdition and could not have fulfill the level of betrayal without the complete surrender of his "heart" to satan. I do not believe in "pre-destination" for one reason, the individual human choice and free will.
My use of the term "son of perdition" in defining Barrack Hussein Obama, is attributed to the overt "lawless" nature of Hussein. The term "son of perdition" is used synonymously with the term "man of lawlessness", thus, Obama’ lawless nature betrays his destined kinship to satan, an actual "son" of perdition.
The term "anti-Christ" is the absolute manifestation of the intended "purpose" of this son of perdition, that is, to overcome and defeat Yeshua as in, anti-God, anti-Jew, anti-Messiah, anti-Christ, the fulfillment and embodiment of complete evil. The inherent "lawless" nature of this final dictator is by choice, and opens his wretched heart to complete the possession by satan, as was the case with the only other identified "son of perdition". This too will happen.
In fact, this act of possession will solidify the relationship between the "son of perdition" and ITS' father, the devil.
Welcome to the New World Order, the EIGHTH and FINAL WORLD EMPIRE of the BEAST of REVELATION.
I saw a beast coming out of the sea, (of humanity). It had ten horns, (kings) and seven HEADS, (empires) with ten crowns on its horns… One of the (SEVEN) HEADS of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed”:
1 Egypt
2 Assyria
3 Babylon
4 Medo-Persia
5 Greece
6 Rome
7 Mystery Babylon, (USA), (who else could fulfill this prophetic “Mystery” of the Harlot of Babylon) Revelation Chapter 17 & 18.
And from One of the SEVEN, an 8th FINAL WORLD EMPIRE of the Gentiles is "born". This IS the BEAST of Revelation, a “New Word Oder”.
Notice that only “ONE of the SEVEN HEADS (empires) of the beast SEEMED, or literally, “LOOKED AS IF” to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed”.
NOTE: this PERCEIVED “FATAL WOUND” is NOT describing a “physical wound” to the “body” of some world leader, but rather the perceived permanent demise of “any hope” to resurrect a world empire to fulfill the will of satan.
“This calls for a mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, (EMPIRES), on which the woman, (Mystery Babylon) sits. There are also “seven kings”, (EMPERORS). Five are fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while”.…
And the beast that was, and is NOT, (REPRESENTING ALL SEVEN WORLD EMPIRES), even HE IS the EIGHTH, and IS OF THE SEVEN, and goeth into perdition”. Revelation 17:9-10.
The context of this “fatal wound” is applicable to a “head”, a term which is used in this case, to describe a gentile world empire(s) that have ruled over mankind since the beginning. Though various “leaders” have ruled these HEADS, (empires) through millennia, it is and has always been the “defiled objective” of these spiritually debased empires to dominate the human soul with contempt against Jehovah. The efforts of each of these emperors shared this wicked ambition and toiled to rule these seven empires.
Since multiple leaders lorded over each of these “heads”, (empires), it is crucial to understand that this perceived fatal wound of ONE of these seven “empires” is an actually the depiction of the demise and subsequent resurrection of BOTH the empire and ONE of its emperors, (leaders), who is RESURRECTED as if from “fatality” to lead the eighth and final world empire.
“The BEAST who once WAS, and now is NOT, IS an EIGHTH king. He BELONGS to the SEVEN and is going to his destruction”. It IS one of these “emperors”, (leaders) of the Seven Empires of the Gentiles who will be “resurrected” as the last world Emperor!
The anti-Christ comes FROM one of the seven and becomes the EIGHTH leader of an EIGHTH empire of global prominence. The “HEAD” indeed incorporates BOTH the “man” and the “empire”!
NOTE: Verse 11. - And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition; and the beast (neuter) that was and is not, he himself is also an eighth (masculine), and is of (out of) the seven, etc. We may note; that "eighth" refers to "king" in ver. 10, being masculine gender;
The words, “was and is not” literal defined as; 5217 hupago (hoop-ag'-o); from 5259 and 71; to lead (oneself) under, I.e. the word means to “withdraw or retire” (as if sinking out of sight), literally or figuratively: KJV-- depart, get hence, go (a-) way. Revelation 17:11. THIS IS THAT!
The BEAST who once WAS, and now is NOT, IS an EIGHTH king. He “BELONGS” to the SEVEN and is going to his destruction”.
IN THE END … only ONE individual MUST and WILL CONCLUDE the long succession of world emperors. This IS final BEAST and it WILL fulfill the prophecy of the anti-Christ BEFORE the Return of Yeshua.
This LAST emperor will indeed embody apollonian, a literal possession, of the son of perdition, who IS anti-Christ of this eight-and final Gentile empire.
Apollonia by any other name is Apollo. Judas, the only other human to be identified in scripture as the “son of perdition”, was also possessed by satan at the moment of his betrayal of Yeshua.
“They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon (that is, Destroyer)”. Revelation 9:11. / Luke 22:3 / John 17:12.
NOW COMES, the RESURRECTED world emperor, whose BEGINNING was incubated in the “womb of the Harlot Babylon and whose global ambition includes a terrible vengeance against her for resisting him.
He is embraced by Francis of Rome and all those who follow after them and will go into desolation. Revelation 17:11-16.
IT IS AT THE TIME OF THIS “EIGHTH EMPEROR”, and his EIGHTH WORLD EMPIRE, WILL APPEAR AND MAKE THE WORLD DESOLATE”! “THIS IS THAT”!!!
Now these SEVEN HEADS are WORLD EMPIRES and are NOT to be confused with the TEN KINGS of Revelation 17:6, who align themselves with this final world emperor, who is anti-Christ!
These “ten kings” are 10 global leaders, who will work together with the “little horn”, Daniel 7:8, an (anti-Christ) who will fulfill the “abomination of desolation This immoral and lawless legacy of ALL SEVEN WORLD EMPIRES will be absorbed and “brought back to life” in the “EIGHTH” and FINAL world empire of biblical definition, the ‘BEAST’!
IT IS IN THE DAYS OF THESE “10 KINGS” and this EIGHTH empire, that Christ Himself will CRUSH the empire of the Gentiles and ITS’ political leader, his false prophet Francis of Rome ALL who follow after them! Daniel 2:44.
THERE IS A DIRECT MALEVOLENT CONNECTION BETWEEN THESE FINAL TEN LEADERS AND THE FINAL EIGHTH GENTILE WORLD EMPIRE!
The “TEN Regions” prescribed by the “Club of Rome, will indeed require TEN, (10 leaders), that may represent these TEN kings. Not by coincidence, Region # 1, is comprised of (Canada / USA, Mexico).
So, the “anti-Christ” is indeed identified by BOTH of his prophetic roles as a “former” leader of ONE of the SEVEN, world empires, and is ALSO is directly connected to TEN FINAL WORLD LEADERS, (KINGS) who will act wickedly with him, upon his impudent ascension to be perched by satan upon the “throne” of Hell as the FINAL world emperor of the Gentiles.
NOW the TIME HAS COME when the FINAL sickle will be thrust upon the earth and through the harvested fields of souls in one last gleaning effort and then the end comes.
UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD and that this present world is in the hands of satan in order that our RIGHTEOUS KING WILL RETURN TO JUDGE MANKIND and COVER THE EARTH WITH HIS KINGDOM!
During these most difficult times of persecution, the promise of PSALM 91 will protect you and your loved ones as you maintain prayer and worship! Remember, the Apostles new Him, served Him, had exceedingly great faith in Him, His Words and His promises and KEPT their eye on the “PRIZE” which is Him and His Kingdom. Most were put to death for their faith!!
Today, the likes of the COPELANDS, OSTEENS, WARRENS, WHITES and the rest of the heretically religious wolves would indeed render the fate of the Apostles as a “failure” to excel in this present “world”. The fact is scripture has made it absolutely clear that His children, are NOT of this “WORLD”. "And if the world hate me, it will hate you also”, Jesus. John 15:18.
I am emphatically warning you that the “PRIZE”, has (NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING OF THIS PRESENT WORLD)!!! GOD HELP US!
NOTHING is to be desired above HIM!!! GET IT STRAIGHT YOU WOLVES WHO ARE LEADING MANY TO HELL!!! Publicly repent NOW and confess your carnal sin before men for Christ’s SAKE, that those who follow you will also repent and save their souls. Maranatha!
THE APPARENT “FATAL WOUND” by the “SWORD” THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONSERVATIVE AMERICAN DESPISING OBAMA AND HIS CALIPHATE WILL PROVE TO BE THE RALLY FOR HIS RESURRECTION TO GLOBAL PROMINENCE AND WORLD LEADERSHIP IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE! - MARK THESE WORDS … they are not my own! - BOZUNG
Apollo (Attic, Ionic, and Homeric Greek: , Apollon (GEN ; Doric: , Apellon; Arcadocypriot: , Apeilon; Aeolic: , Aploun; Latin: Apollo) is one of the most important and complex of the Olympian deities in classical Greek and Roman religion and Greek and Roman mythology. The ideal of the kouros (a beardless, athletic youth), Apollo has been variously recognized as a god of music, truth and prophecy, healing, the sun and light, plague, poetry, and more. Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto, and has a twin sister, the chaste huntress Artemis. Apollo is known in Greek-influenced Etruscan mythology as Apulu.
The antichrist will be a man - Daniel 7:24-25.
He will confirm a covenant of 7 years - Daniel 9:27
This does not mean that he creates this covenant.
The word here for "confirm" is 1396 gabar (gaw-bar'); a primitive root; to be strong; by implication, to prevail, act insolently: KJV-- exceed, confirm, be great, be mighty, prevail, put to more [strength], strengthen, be stronger, be valiant. The antichrist will strengthen a covenant for a 7 year time span.
Now this could be an existing covenant (like the Jerusalem Covenant) or the seven year S.T.A.R.T treaty or a new covenant drawn up at that time.
He will rise among 10 kings - Daniel 7:8 This 10 empire unions will be ten world regions already divided up by the Club of Rome - Daniel 2:44.
He will uproot 3 kings from the original 10 empires to gain political power, (the United States is one of these kings)- Daniel 7:8
His 10 empire union will merge into a world government in which he will dominate all global politics- Revelations 13:1-2 A union that will definitely rule the world, with the "seat" of power controlled by those who control the money.
He will ascend to power on a platform of peace. By peace, he will destroy many - Daniel 8:25.
He will be promoted and exalted by a miracle working religious partner (false prophet) - Revelations 13:11-12.
He was, and is not, and yet is - Revelations 17:8.
After leaving the Presidency of the United States of America, he will rise to political power as leader of the new world order.
The antichrist will have ruled, but then be taken out of power. Only to rise back up again to power as the head of the One World Government.
The world government over which he rules is a red, black, pale green, white (representing ALL forms of major world governments; communism / socialism, capitalism, Islam, AND the finale world order (BEAST) as represented by the four horses of the apocalypse) - Revelations 17:14
The antichrist will be preceded by 7 kings or rulers. He will be the 8th king.
He will also be "of" the 7 - Revelations 17:11 5217 hupago (hoop-ag'-o); from 5259 and 71; to lead (oneself) under, I.e. Withdraw or retire (as if sinking out of sight), literally or figuratively: KJV-- depart, get hence, go (a-) way.
The number of World Governments (actual world gentile empires) that have ruled to date IS 7.
EgyptAssyriaBabylonMedo-PersiaGreeceRomeMystery Babylon, (USA) a FINAL EIGHTH, (8th) Gentile WORLD ORDER.
He will have a mouth speaking great things. Very boastful - Daniel 7:8
His look will be more stout than his “fellows” (predecessors) - Daniel 7:20 The word "stout" means 7227 rab (rab); by contracted from 7231; abundant (in quantity, size, age, number, rank, quality): KJV-- (in) abound (-undance, -ant, -antly), captain, elder, enough, exceedingly, full, great (-ly, man, one), increase, long (enough, [time]), (do, have) many (-ifold, things, a time), ([ship-]) master, mighty, more, (too, very) much, multiply (-tude), officer, often [-times], plenteous, populous, prince, process [of time], suffice (-lent).
The antichrist will appear to be what men want to see when they look at him.
13 He will have a fierce countenance - Daniel 8:23
He will cause craft to prosper - Daniel 8:25 (word "craft" here. It is 4820 mirmah (meer-maw'); from 7411 in the sense of deceiving; fraud: KJV-- craft, deceit (-ful, -fully), false, feigned, guile, subtilly, treachery. His success will deceive the world to, a strong delusion will be upon the people to believe a lie.
He apparently assumes world dominating power 3 1/2 years after he confirms the covenant. He then will continue to reign for 42 months - Revelations 13:5
The Abomination of Desolation is the event that signals the beginning of this final 42 months - Daniel 9:27 the Abomination of Desolation of Revelations 12:7-10 occurs.
When the Antichrist becomes "possessed" by Satan himself and forces the Mark upon humanity with the help and spiritual deception of the world spiritual leader the scripture refers to as the false prophet, (pope).
He opposes God - 2 Thessalonians 2:4.
He will speak marvelous things against the God of gods - Daniel 11:36.
He will exalt himself above all that is called God - 2 Thessalonians 2:4.
He will sit in the temple of God - 2 Thessalonians 2:4.
He will claim to be God (or an incarnation of God) - 2 Thessalonians 2:4.
He will take away the daily sacrifices from the temple - Daniel 11:31.
He will plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain - Daniel 11:45 the Antichrist will setup his central command of "fortifications" between the sea and Jerusalem in an attempt to control the mid-eastern a peace treaty that will fail resulting in Armageddon.
He will have power to make war with the saints and to overcome them - Revelations 13:7.
26.He will continue this war with the saints for 3 1/2 years - Daniel 7:21, 25.
The Great Tribulation is launched when the man of lawlessness shows his “true colors”, possessed by Satan himself and commits the Abomination that will make Desolation. - Matthew 24:15,21.
During this time, the antichrist will scatter the power of the holy people - Daniel 12:7.
He will rule a mighty and strong kingdom - Daniel 7:7.
30.He was given power over all kindreds, tongues and nations - Revelations 13:7.
His kingdom will devour the whole earth - Daniel 7:23.
He will have great military power that will stand behind him, to enforce his laws - Daniel 11:31.
He will try to change times and laws; and they will be given into his power for 3 1/2 years - Daniel 7:25.
He will give great honor to the God of forces, with gold, silver, jewels, etc - Daniel 11:38.
He will prosper in everything that he does - Daniel 8:24.

He will be cast alive into the lake of fire - Revelations 19:20.
He will be tormented day and night forever and ever - Revelations 20:10.
I did not consider BHO could possibly be a candidate for the "man of lawlessness" until the middle of his first term.
The factual information, in my opinion, parallels the description of this individual as outlined in the book of Daniel and Revelation.
I made the decision to publicly present the details of his actions in light of scripture and let it speak for itself.
The man of lawlessness is alive and very active today. He will not just suddenly "appear" in the public and be recognized by the unbeliever as a "savior" without a political history, nor will he be unknown to Believers.
I know that it is extremely difficult to publicly take a position regarding the identify of this individual, however as 2 Thessalonians 2:3 states, the day of the Lord will NOT COME unless the apostasy takes place, (which we are experiencing today), and the "man of lawlessness" is revealed.
I often smile when I hear faithful men of God hint of a deep conviction of his identity, however I understand the caution of committing to the knowledge of his identity.
I made the decision to "take the heat" and go public until it is no longer deniable to others of apologetics and good repute step forward.
The Words of 2 Thessalonians 2:3 were spoken to Believers for the benefit of believers who would be living in the day of these two telling events.
I have wrestled with the reason why it is important to understand and report on the actions and identity of this wicked pig.
The only reason that keeps coming back to me is that somehow, knowledge will become absolutely critically important in assisting christians in making life and death decisions before they are raptured. (I do not know the details of what this means.)
During the Hussein election I took incredible abuse from some readers when I published numerous articles warning "christians" of his "character", avoiding controversy regarding his identity and focusing on pointing out where his declared political positions were in direct conflict with the Word of God.
Inspired by the color of his "skin", some of my black ministers’ associates told me I was full of hate and that Obama is a christian, while some white christians readers claimed that he cares for people and was worth supporting. - BOZUNG.
American “values”, once respected and envied by many around the world, are now HATED by a degenerate humanity, who is looking for an iniquitous WORLD EMPEROR who governs by Gentile laws.
America, with its’ current President, Donald J. Trump, presently STANDS IN THE WAY of this prophetic end-time fulfillment of this FINAL world empire and it’s emperor “anti-Christ!
Though Trump is engaged in a valiant attempt to disengage lawless decadence, his battle is against those who are empowered by satan and who embrace the epitomes of principalities, powers and rulers of the darkness of this world that are controlled by spiritual wickedness in high places and will ONLY relinquish its’ death-grip from the necks of humanity by it’s (his) conquest upon the triumphant Return of Yeshua! Ephesians 6:12. / II Corinthians 4:4.
As Trump continues to battle against the decades of depraved human practices that now dominate American culture, a once great nation has been transformed into a Whore of prophetic consequence and to the glee of wicked men, whose vile behavior mirror the very days of Noah and Lot, the antitheses of Christ and the Divine principles of His Word. President, Trump’s sincere efforts to restore some Judeo/Christian values to this nation, will be unsuccessful as prophesied in the book of Revelation. "Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be Done".
The infra-structure of Washington DC, constructed by the Free Masons, was an act of dedication to the ancient “gods”, who ruled prior world empires.
These "engineers of darkness" were involved in the process of creating the “incubator” of the FINAL world emperor, "anti-Christ" and his soon coming EIGHTH empire! Revelation 17 & 18. Historical records detail these efforts of the so-called “forefathers” and founders of America, describing the establishment of “such a place” on earth where anarchy against the Almighty could be realized.
The “finger prints” of secret societies, and principalities of darkness did indeed lay siege to the foundation of America, clearly illustrated in the "dark foot-print" of the architectural design of its Capital, Washington DC, “hidden in plain-site” and complete with ancient pagan Icons.
HOWEVER, Divine intervention superseded this ploy of satanic origin as the FIRST American intercessions, the Pilgrims, restrained the plans of the "evil one" and laid the superior spiritual Judeo/Christian foundation of this Nation, with purpose to promote the "voice of the Bride and Bridegroom” throughout the earth.
This "great commission" was carried out for centuries until America eventually succumbed to the “god of this world”, captivated by the "lust for the things of this world" and willing participation in human decadent behavior. It IS the Christian Pilgrim whose prayers of dedication to Christ concerning this new land, RESTRAINED this final world empire from fruition UNTIL NOW!!! Revelation 18:22-24 / Revelation 19:6-9.
Such is the destiny and imminent future this entire world, until Yeshua restores His Kingdom on earth! “Thy Kingdom Come … Thy Will be Done … on earth as it IS in Heaven”!
Certainly Believers, the (True Church), is empowered by the Holy Spirit and able to bind, arrest, restrict, inhibit, prohibit certain principalities of wickedness from operating in their midst. Luke 10:19. It IS however, the “god of this world” has been able to achieve dominance over the majority of the global population of some 7+ Billion souls. "As it was in the days of Noah and Lot, SO SHALL IT BE". Matthew 24:37 / Luke 17: 26-28.
America, is the ONLY political power to have unequivocally influenced, in any significant way, the political & religious human conduct around the world since the days of the Empire of Rome. Even in modernity, the so-called Imperial Japanese and British empires NEVER achieved the global eminence and sphere of influence of that of the United States of American. This fact is INDISPUTABLE!
Before the United States existed, reaching back into history from the time of the end of the Roman Empire, to the establishment of the United States of America, the nations of the world were disengaged, fractured with convoluted warring factions striving unsuccessfully to recapture and “resurrect” control of their perceived empires, as they faced insurmountable technical challenges of ever-expanding humanity and were never able to put (Humpty Dumpty), another “world empire” together again UNTIL a “nation was born”, that would overcome the barriers to the prophetic fulfillment of the seventh empire, BECAUSE this undoubtedly is the Will of God!
America, the SEVENTH world empire in succession of SIX, IS the ONLY Gentile empire in modernity to have significantly influenced world affairs for the past two plus centuries. This seventh empire will now be rendered insignificant by the enemies Jehovah because of her wickedness.
“I saw a beast coming out of the sea, (of humanity). It had ten horns, (kings) and seven HEADS, (empires) with ten crowns on its horns… One of the (SEVEN) HEADS of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed”: …
“This calls for a mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman (Mystery Babylon) sits. There are also seven kings. Five are fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while”.… Revelation 17:9-10.
The “ONE that WAS”, at the time of the writing of this prophecy IS the SIXTH (6th) HEAD, documented as ROME.
The “ONE to COME”, as prophesied then IS the “SEVENTH, (7th) HEAD”, now understood to be the United States of America, (Mystery Babylon).
NOTICE, this SEVENTH “HEAD” (empire), Mystery Babylon, will only influence humanity “FOR A LITTLE WHILE”!
Of ALL world empires recorded throughout history, ONLY the United States has the distinguished honor of the shortest duration, yet MOST profound influential impact upon the ENTIRE world during these past 200+ years of its' existence. No other world empire has rose to global prominence as has America.
NOTE: The cumulative legacy of ALL SIX (6) prior world empires, “RESTS UPON THE SEVENTH (7th) empire, Mystery Babylon. Revelation 17:9-10. THERE WILL BE ONLY ONE MORE, the EIGHTH and FINAL world empire of the BEAST of Revelation. THIS DAY HAS COME and NOTHING will prevent ITS' manifestation however Yeshua will CRUSH "IT" upon his Return!
The “pinnacle of evil” as experienced in “days of Lot and Noah”, MUST again come to pass, in order that the FINAL 8th world empire and its emperor can attempt to fulfill satan’s original abominable plan to usurp Authority over the Lord of Lords! Of course, this plan will initiate the absolute demise of satan, his son of perdition, the false prophet, Francis of Rome and ALL those who follow after them! Daniel 2:44.
As the SIXTH Empire of Roman eventually “split” into TWO directions, (east and west), these two (legs), of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of the anatomy of a “statue" as described in Daniel 2:44, representing world empires whose non-repent peoples, “scattered” throughout the earth in search of a NEW place to FINISH this “unholy quest” of world domination.
During the final days of Mystery Babylon, the Mother of Harlots, the “son of perdition” affixed his “hatred” on American Judeo/Christian values aggressively changing many “times & laws”, in his attempt to transform of a God-fearing people into that of whore and did so “under” American Constitutional restraints.
HUSSEIN, who by his lawlessness revealed himself as the “son of perdition” and who IS destined, like Judas, by “his own” evil intent, to fill the shoes of the “anti-Christ”. This “man” DID in fact rise to global political awareness WHILE he was “bridled and straddled”, (restrained), by the Harlot of Babylon.
Hussein’s demonic empowerment to “change” times and laws, insured that no one will successfully reverse his ensconced depraved efforts to defy the laws of Jehovah and establish his world of abomination.
His apparent demise, (fatal wound) “BY THE SWORD”, is a direct reference to his political and religious fortification of ISLAM during his eight-year aggressive support for Islamic Jihad that began with his enthusiastic support for the “Arab Spring” and the Islamic chaos that followed.
BECAUSE of Hussein's aggressive support of the “pale green horse” of Revelation, this "horse" of Seal # 4, was enabled to advance its' FINAL global conquest during the “Arab Spring”, Muslims now represent some 1.8+ Billion in number and make up approximately 1/4 of the earth's population.
The ISLAMIC SWORD of death, famine and terror, has advanced through lawless MIGRATION into the earth's populations of some 7+Billion precisely as prophesied! Revelation 6:7-9 / Revelation 13:14.
THE SWORD of ISLAM is poised to carry out the will of the son of perdition during his days of abomination. (Adherents of Islam constitute the world's second largest religious group. According to a study in 2015, Islam has 1.8 billion adherents, making up about 24% of the world population).
In a "SANE" world, this overt support for the violent Islamic enemies of Israel and Christianity should have insured his banishment from fulfilling future political ambitions however, this world has become so perverted that the son of perdition will be rewarded by sadistic global minds who will embrace him and his divisive methodology and will soon honor him as supreme emperor of this final global empire.
Hussein WILL use the “SWORD of ISLAM” as his preferred weapon to enforce political correctness which incorporates the institution of” MARK of the BEAST). Revelation 12:13-14.
Hussein successfully slithered away into the darkness, only to soon be resurrected into the “international” arena and receive adulation as a “world community organizer”, an endeavor that IS orchestrated by the devil’s minions, yet IS destined to fail. Daniel 7:25 / Daniel 8:12.
His SOON “resurrection” to world leadership and his disdain for America and Israel, will provoke him to take vengeance against the United States and Israel, BOTH “cities of unwalled villages”. It is at this moment in history that he will be supported by a “GROUP of TEN”, “ten crowns on its horns”, and will succeed with his revenge against the Harlot of Babylon.
The Lord will however defend the Nation of Israel, who will suffer loss, yet will remain intact, though a Nation that is overshadowed by anti-Christ until Messiah Yeshua comes. Revelation 17:16 / Ezekiel 38-39.
In addition to the vengeful acts of the anti-Christ, there will also be a Divine shaking of the entire earth, Region #1 NOT excluded. The SIXTH SEAL of Revelation will make the Americas a third-world environment. Europe WILL become the CONTROL CENTER of the Empire of the Beast”, Daniel 2:44.
NOTES:
The recorded "possession" by satan of the man Judas, did indeed complete the transition of the man into a “son of perdition”. the same can be said regarding the "man" who will become the anti-Christ. Luke 22:3.
As Judas "destiny" was by choice the, "seed" of betrayal existed within him by nature, thus he was "destined" to become the son of perdition and could not have fulfill the level of betrayal without the complete surrender of his "heart" to satan. I do not believe in "pre-destination" for one reason, the individual human choice and free will.
My use of the term "son of perdition" in defining Barrack Hussein Obama, is attributed to the overt "lawless" nature of Hussein. The term "son of perdition" is used synonymously with the term "man of lawlessness", thus, Obama’ lawless nature betrays his destined kinship to satan, an actual "son" of perdition.
The term "anti-Christ" is the absolute manifestation of the intended "purpose" of this son of perdition, that is, to overcome and defeat Yeshua as in, anti-God, anti-Jew, anti-Messiah, anti-Christ, the fulfillment and embodiment of complete evil. The inherent "lawless" nature of this final dictator is by choice, and opens his wretched heart to complete the possession by satan, as was the case with the only other identified "son of perdition". This too will happen.
In fact, this act of possession will solidify the relationship between the "son of perdition" and ITS' father, the devil.
Welcome to the New World Order, the EIGHTH and FINAL WORLD EMPIRE of the BEAST of REVELATION.
I saw a beast coming out of the sea, (of humanity). It had ten horns, (kings) and seven HEADS, (empires) with ten crowns on its horns… One of the (SEVEN) HEADS of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed”:
1 Egypt
2 Assyria
3 Babylon
4 Medo-Persia
5 Greece
6 Rome
7 Mystery Babylon, (USA), (who else could fulfill this prophetic “Mystery” of the Harlot of Babylon) Revelation Chapter 17 & 18.
And from One of the SEVEN, an 8th FINAL WORLD EMPIRE of the Gentiles is "born". This IS the BEAST of Revelation, a “New Word Oder”.
Notice that only “ONE of the SEVEN HEADS (empires) of the beast SEEMED, or literally, “LOOKED AS IF” to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed”.
NOTE: this PERCEIVED “FATAL WOUND” is NOT describing a “physical wound” to the “body” of some world leader, but rather the perceived permanent demise of “any hope” to resurrect a world empire to fulfill the will of satan.
“This calls for a mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, (EMPIRES), on which the woman, (Mystery Babylon) sits. There are also “seven kings”, (EMPERORS). Five are fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while”.…
And the beast that was, and is NOT, (REPRESENTING ALL SEVEN WORLD EMPIRES), even HE IS the EIGHTH, and IS OF THE SEVEN, and goeth into perdition”. Revelation 17:9-10.
The context of this “fatal wound” is applicable to a “head”, a term which is used in this case, to describe a gentile world empire(s) that have ruled over mankind since the beginning. Though various “leaders” have ruled these HEADS, (empires) through millennia, it is and has always been the “defiled objective” of these spiritually debased empires to dominate the human soul with contempt against Jehovah. The efforts of each of these emperors shared this wicked ambition and toiled to rule these seven empires.
Since multiple leaders lorded over each of these “heads”, (empires), it is crucial to understand that this perceived fatal wound of ONE of these seven “empires” is an actually the depiction of the demise and subsequent resurrection of BOTH the empire and ONE of its emperors, (leaders), who is RESURRECTED as if from “fatality” to lead the eighth and final world empire.
“The BEAST who once WAS, and now is NOT, IS an EIGHTH king. He BELONGS to the SEVEN and is going to his destruction”. It IS one of these “emperors”, (leaders) of the Seven Empires of the Gentiles who will be “resurrected” as the last world Emperor!
The anti-Christ comes FROM one of the seven and becomes the EIGHTH leader of an EIGHTH empire of global prominence. The “HEAD” indeed incorporates BOTH the “man” and the “empire”!
NOTE: Verse 11. - And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition; and the beast (neuter) that was and is not, he himself is also an eighth (masculine), and is of (out of) the seven, etc. We may note; that "eighth" refers to "king" in ver. 10, being masculine gender;
The words, “was and is not” literal defined as; 5217 hupago (hoop-ag'-o); from 5259 and 71; to lead (oneself) under, I.e. the word means to “withdraw or retire” (as if sinking out of sight), literally or figuratively: KJV-- depart, get hence, go (a-) way. Revelation 17:11. THIS IS THAT!
The BEAST who once WAS, and now is NOT, IS an EIGHTH king. He “BELONGS” to the SEVEN and is going to his destruction”.
IN THE END … only ONE individual MUST and WILL CONCLUDE the long succession of world emperors. This IS final BEAST and it WILL fulfill the prophecy of the anti-Christ BEFORE the Return of Yeshua.
This LAST emperor will indeed embody apollonian, a literal possession, of the son of perdition, who IS anti-Christ of this eight-and final Gentile empire.
Apollonia by any other name is Apollo. Judas, the only other human to be identified in scripture as the “son of perdition”, was also possessed by satan at the moment of his betrayal of Yeshua.
“They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon (that is, Destroyer)”. Revelation 9:11. / Luke 22:3 / John 17:12.
NOW COMES, the RESURRECTED world emperor, whose BEGINNING was incubated in the “womb of the Harlot Babylon and whose global ambition includes a terrible vengeance against her for resisting him.
He is embraced by Francis of Rome and all those who follow after them and will go into desolation. Revelation 17:11-16.
IT IS AT THE TIME OF THIS “EIGHTH EMPEROR”, and his EIGHTH WORLD EMPIRE, WILL APPEAR AND MAKE THE WORLD DESOLATE”! “THIS IS THAT”!!!
Now these SEVEN HEADS are WORLD EMPIRES and are NOT to be confused with the TEN KINGS of Revelation 17:6, who align themselves with this final world emperor, who is anti-Christ!
These “ten kings” are 10 global leaders, who will work together with the “little horn”, Daniel 7:8, an (anti-Christ) who will fulfill the “abomination of desolation This immoral and lawless legacy of ALL SEVEN WORLD EMPIRES will be absorbed and “brought back to life” in the “EIGHTH” and FINAL world empire of biblical definition, the ‘BEAST’!
IT IS IN THE DAYS OF THESE “10 KINGS” and this EIGHTH empire, that Christ Himself will CRUSH the empire of the Gentiles and ITS’ political leader, his false prophet Francis of Rome ALL who follow after them! Daniel 2:44.
THERE IS A DIRECT MALEVOLENT CONNECTION BETWEEN THESE FINAL TEN LEADERS AND THE FINAL EIGHTH GENTILE WORLD EMPIRE!
The “TEN Regions” prescribed by the “Club of Rome, will indeed require TEN, (10 leaders), that may represent these TEN kings. Not by coincidence, Region # 1, is comprised of (Canada / USA, Mexico).
So, the “anti-Christ” is indeed identified by BOTH of his prophetic roles as a “former” leader of ONE of the SEVEN, world empires, and is ALSO is directly connected to TEN FINAL WORLD LEADERS, (KINGS) who will act wickedly with him, upon his impudent ascension to be perched by satan upon the “throne” of Hell as the FINAL world emperor of the Gentiles.
NOW the TIME HAS COME when the FINAL sickle will be thrust upon the earth and through the harvested fields of souls in one last gleaning effort and then the end comes.
UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD and that this present world is in the hands of satan in order that our RIGHTEOUS KING WILL RETURN TO JUDGE MANKIND and COVER THE EARTH WITH HIS KINGDOM!
During these most difficult times of persecution, the promise of PSALM 91 will protect you and your loved ones as you maintain prayer and worship! Remember, the Apostles new Him, served Him, had exceedingly great faith in Him, His Words and His promises and KEPT their eye on the “PRIZE” which is Him and His Kingdom. Most were put to death for their faith!!
Today, the likes of the COPELANDS, OSTEENS, WARRENS, WHITES and the rest of the heretically religious wolves would indeed render the fate of the Apostles as a “failure” to excel in this present “world”. The fact is scripture has made it absolutely clear that His children, are NOT of this “WORLD”. "And if the world hate me, it will hate you also”, Jesus. John 15:18.
I am emphatically warning you that the “PRIZE”, has (NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING OF THIS PRESENT WORLD)!!! GOD HELP US!
NOTHING is to be desired above HIM!!! GET IT STRAIGHT YOU WOLVES WHO ARE LEADING MANY TO HELL!!! Publicly repent NOW and confess your carnal sin before men for Christ’s SAKE, that those who follow you will also repent and save their souls. Maranatha!
THE APPARENT “FATAL WOUND” by the “SWORD” THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONSERVATIVE AMERICAN DESPISING OBAMA AND HIS CALIPHATE WILL PROVE TO BE THE RALLY FOR HIS RESURRECTION TO GLOBAL PROMINENCE AND WORLD LEADERSHIP IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE! - MARK THESE WORDS … they are not my own! - BOZUNG
Apollo (Attic, Ionic, and Homeric Greek: , Apollon (GEN ; Doric: , Apellon; Arcadocypriot: , Apeilon; Aeolic: , Aploun; Latin: Apollo) is one of the most important and complex of the Olympian deities in classical Greek and Roman religion and Greek and Roman mythology. The ideal of the kouros (a beardless, athletic youth), Apollo has been variously recognized as a god of music, truth and prophecy, healing, the sun and light, plague, poetry, and more. Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto, and has a twin sister, the chaste huntress Artemis. Apollo is known in Greek-influenced Etruscan mythology as Apulu.
The antichrist will be a man - Daniel 7:24-25.
He will confirm a covenant of 7 years - Daniel 9:27
This does not mean that he creates this covenant.
The word here for "confirm" is 1396 gabar (gaw-bar'); a primitive root; to be strong; by implication, to prevail, act insolently: KJV-- exceed, confirm, be great, be mighty, prevail, put to more [strength], strengthen, be stronger, be valiant. The antichrist will strengthen a covenant for a 7 year time span.
Now this could be an existing covenant (like the Jerusalem Covenant) or the seven year S.T.A.R.T treaty or a new covenant drawn up at that time.
He will rise among 10 kings - Daniel 7:8 This 10 empire unions will be ten world regions already divided up by the Club of Rome - Daniel 2:44.
He will uproot 3 kings from the original 10 empires to gain political power, (the United States is one of these kings)- Daniel 7:8
His 10 empire union will merge into a world government in which he will dominate all global politics- Revelations 13:1-2 A union that will definitely rule the world, with the "seat" of power controlled by those who control the money.
He will ascend to power on a platform of peace. By peace, he will destroy many - Daniel 8:25.
He will be promoted and exalted by a miracle working religious partner (false prophet) - Revelations 13:11-12.
He was, and is not, and yet is - Revelations 17:8.
After leaving the Presidency of the United States of America, he will rise to political power as leader of the new world order.
The antichrist will have ruled, but then be taken out of power. Only to rise back up again to power as the head of the One World Government.
The world government over which he rules is a red, black, pale green, white (representing ALL forms of major world governments; communism / socialism, capitalism, Islam, AND the finale world order (BEAST) as represented by the four horses of the apocalypse) - Revelations 17:14
The antichrist will be preceded by 7 kings or rulers. He will be the 8th king.
He will also be "of" the 7 - Revelations 17:11 5217 hupago (hoop-ag'-o); from 5259 and 71; to lead (oneself) under, I.e. Withdraw or retire (as if sinking out of sight), literally or figuratively: KJV-- depart, get hence, go (a-) way.
The number of World Governments (actual world gentile empires) that have ruled to date IS 7.
EgyptAssyriaBabylonMedo-PersiaGreeceRomeMystery Babylon, (USA) a FINAL EIGHTH, (8th) Gentile WORLD ORDER.
He will have a mouth speaking great things. Very boastful - Daniel 7:8
His look will be more stout than his “fellows” (predecessors) - Daniel 7:20 The word "stout" means 7227 rab (rab); by contracted from 7231; abundant (in quantity, size, age, number, rank, quality): KJV-- (in) abound (-undance, -ant, -antly), captain, elder, enough, exceedingly, full, great (-ly, man, one), increase, long (enough, [time]), (do, have) many (-ifold, things, a time), ([ship-]) master, mighty, more, (too, very) much, multiply (-tude), officer, often [-times], plenteous, populous, prince, process [of time], suffice (-lent).
The antichrist will appear to be what men want to see when they look at him.
13 He will have a fierce countenance - Daniel 8:23
- He will understand puzzling things - Daniel 8:23
He will cause craft to prosper - Daniel 8:25 (word "craft" here. It is 4820 mirmah (meer-maw'); from 7411 in the sense of deceiving; fraud: KJV-- craft, deceit (-ful, -fully), false, feigned, guile, subtilly, treachery. His success will deceive the world to, a strong delusion will be upon the people to believe a lie.
He apparently assumes world dominating power 3 1/2 years after he confirms the covenant. He then will continue to reign for 42 months - Revelations 13:5
The Abomination of Desolation is the event that signals the beginning of this final 42 months - Daniel 9:27 the Abomination of Desolation of Revelations 12:7-10 occurs.
When the Antichrist becomes "possessed" by Satan himself and forces the Mark upon humanity with the help and spiritual deception of the world spiritual leader the scripture refers to as the false prophet, (pope).
He opposes God - 2 Thessalonians 2:4.
He will speak marvelous things against the God of gods - Daniel 11:36.

I did not consider BHO could possibly be a candidate for the "man of lawlessness" until the middle of his first term.
The factual information, in my opinion, parallels the description of this individual as outlined in the book of Daniel and Revelation.
I made the decision to publicly present the details of his actions in light of scripture and let it speak for itself.
The man of lawlessness is alive and very active today. He will not just suddenly "appear" in the public and be recognized by the unbeliever as a "savior" without a political history, nor will he be unknown to Believers.
I know that it is extremely difficult to publicly take a position regarding the identify of this individual, however as 2 Thessalonians 2:3 states, the day of the Lord will NOT COME unless the apostasy takes place, (which we are experiencing today), and the "man of lawlessness" is revealed.
I often smile when I hear faithful men of God hint of a deep conviction of his identity, however I understand the caution of committing to the knowledge of his identity.
I made the decision to "take the heat" and go public until it is no longer deniable to others of apologetics and good repute step forward.
The Words of 2 Thessalonians 2:3 were spoken to Believers for the benefit of believers who would be living in the day of these two telling events.
I have wrestled with the reason why it is important to understand and report on the actions and identity of this wicked pig.
The only reason that keeps coming back to me is that somehow, knowledge will become absolutely critically important in assisting christians in making life and death decisions before they are raptured. (I do not know the details of what this means.)
During the Hussein election I took incredible abuse from some readers when I published numerous articles warning "christians" of his "character", avoiding controversy regarding his identity and focusing on pointing out where his declared political positions were in direct conflict with the Word of God.
Inspired by the color of his "skin", some of my black ministers’ associates told me I was full of hate and that Obama is a christian, while some white christians readers claimed that he cares for people and was worth supporting. - BOZUNG.
