“I have called upon You, for You will answer me, O God;
Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.
Wondrously show Your lovingkindness,
O Savior of those who take refuge at Your right hand
From those who rise up against them.
Keep me as the apple of the eye;
Hide me in the shadow of Your wings
From the wicked who despoil me,
My deadly enemies who surround me.
They have closed their unfeeling heart,
With their mouth they speak proudly.
They have now surrounded us in our steps;
They set their eyes to cast us down to the ground.
He is like a lion that is eager to tear,
And as a young lion lurking in hiding places.” (Psalms 17:6-12 NASB1995)


I believe that we are living in the last days before the return of Christ, and that much of what was prophesied in the Scriptures regarding these last days is presently taking place. I don’t know exactly where we are in that process, but I do believe the signs are quite evident that the time is drawing near when “The Beast” of Revelation 13 will absolutely rule the entire world and we will be forced to bow to the beast or pay the penalty, even death.

I am of the belief that “Babylon,” which is described in the Scriptures as a physical location, is the USA government, or our nation, as a whole, but more specifically those in power who have influence and power in the entire world, so perhaps more localized to Washington D.C. and/or to New York City, New York, where we have the United Nations headquarters, our major banking industry, the Stock Market, and the One World Tower.

If you are a person who relies on the “mainstream media” in the USA to tell you the truth about what is going on in the world, please stop! We cannot trust the media to tell us the truth, not even what they call “the alternative media,” although I do find a little more truth there. We must be discerning people who pray to the Lord for guidance and direction in discerning truth from lies so that we don’t end up believing the lies and not the truth.

I also do not believe that there is a political right and left here in America but that they are two sides of the same whole, each playing their individual parts to keep us divided and fighting against one another so that we do not see who the real enemy is and what they are doing to bring us into this rule of “the beast.” And I believe that the de facto government of the USA is not who we see sitting in the White House, well, at least not up until now, but they are the powerful elite of this world of the “Beast New World Order.”

But what I also believe about what is presently taking place in the American government is that this is not something that just came about. For if you understand our national symbols and their meanings, you will see that this was the plan all along that a small group of the elite of the world (the all seeing eye in the pyramid hovering over the rest of us) would rule over the rest of us, and that they would do away with the middle class, and it will now be us, the people, all at the same level, under their (oligarchy) rule.

So, those who are presently rising up against us, the people of the world, are the super wealthy and powerful people of this world, although perhaps not all of them. We are surrounded by deadly enemies whose goal is not to do for us what is for our good, but for their good pleasure. And many of these enemies are within our own gates, of our own nations. And I do believe that they are surrounding us with the intention of bringing us all into submission to “the beast.” And I believe that the signs are there.

And there are other people writing about this, too, just not in the mainstream media. For me, the Lord began opening up my eyes to much of this beginning in 2004 as he began showing me things through his word and how they related to our present reality. And he had me reading all sorts of articles back when the internet was more open and less controlled, when more information was available and not so much was censored. And since then more and more evidence of what is taking place has been unfolding.

Now, this is not a teaching of biblical doctrine, so you do not have to accept what I am sharing with you as truth. There are plenty of Scriptures, though, which describe for us what these last days should look like, and if we study them, in context, in the context of these last days, and we pray for spiritual discernment, I believe the Lord will open our eyes to see what is really going down and where all this present reality is really headed. But we have to be willing to have our eyes opened to the truth and not be stuck in our ways.

But let me add this. Like I said, we must interpret the Scriptures in their proper context, so if they are talking about these last days, they are speaking of the Messianic age. Therefore, the temple is not now a physical building but it is the church, which is a spiritual building, which is made up of people of faith in Jesus Christ. And Jerusalem is spiritual Jerusalem, not the physical city, and we are of her. And the nations are trampling on us whose faith in Jesus is biblical faith, and the nations include the Jewish nation.

So if the antichrist is setting himself up in the temple, he is doing this in the church, and that has definitely been happening for quite some time. And there is not one physical location for this, for the church is the body of believers in Jesus Christ and we are all over the world. And I can vouch for the fact that the church in America has definitely largely come under the influence of this “beast” by diluting and altering the character of God/Christ, his church, and the gospel of our salvation, to appease human flesh.

So please understand that just because someone calls himself a “Christian,” or he publicly declares faith in Jesus Christ, or he raises his hands in the air and sways to the music of the “Christian” songs, it does not mean he is a true follower of Jesus Christ and that he is a worshiper of the One True and Only God – Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit. And this is why we are taught to test the spirits, and they have to do more than just give lip service to the Lord, but their lifestyles and practices must align with the Scriptures.

[Matthew 5:10-12; Matthew 10:16-25,34-39; Matthew 24:1-51; Luke 6:22-23; Luke 12:49-53; Luke 21:12-17; John 15:18-21; Ephesians 6:10-20; 1 John 2:18-25; Jude 1:17-23; 2 Peter 2:1-22; 2 Peter 3:1-18; 1 Timothy 4:1-5; 2 Timothy 3:1-9; Revelation 6:9-11; Revelation 7:9-17; Revelation 11:1-3; Revelation 12:17; Revelation 13:1-18; Revelation 14:1-13]

The Rock of My Heart

Lyricist: Bassford, Matthew W.; Psalm 73
Composer: Schales, Glenda Barnhart


My Lord, I need nothing beside You;
Without You, I could not have stood.
Your promise is my hope and my refuge;
Your nearness, my strength and my good.

When I was distressed and embittered,
By things I could not understand,
Your presence was continually with me;
You always took hold of my hand.

I know that Your counsel will guide me
In wisdom, devotion, and love,
And afterward You’ll call me to glory
To dwell in Your presence above.

My heart may be broken within me;
My earthly strength may depart.
But You are my portion forever,
You are the Rock of my heart.
