Greetings again to the once lost but now found sheep of the house of Israel.
This Volume 1, DragonSlayer Newsletter, of the calendar year of 2023, is presented in order to wake up those that are still asleep.
Pastor Peters’ timeless and foundational message, taken from Isaiah 52, is greatly needed right now, to help WAKE UP those that are blind and unaware of what the Bible has to say about today! This will be a good review for you,
Remnant, and a tool that you can use to help rouse up those that are asleep!
Our hope and prayer for you, the Remnant, is that this new calendar year of our LORD, 2023, finds you walking in the light and Grace of His Word, smiling at the future and resting in the promises of our LORD Jesus Christ!
A new year always brings a sense of hope, doesn’t it? The previous year with all its tragedies, problems, disappointments, failures, and sadness, is now behind us, and a clean slate lies ahead.
As we embark on this new year, with the reality of life moving on, a fair question for us to ask is, “how can we move on?” The answer may be found in the refrain from an old church song I’ll bet many of you remember: “Rise and Shine.”
Isaiah tells the people of Israel to, Arise, shine; for your light has come… They no longer have to live in darkness – nor do we. Rise and shine, get up, begin again – there is more to come!
And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil. Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.
Deuteronomy 33:24-25 KJV
This is a promise of God. It was actually a prophecy given by Moses to the tribe of Asher, just before his death. By God’s choice, this tribe was being given land on the seacoast north of modern-day Haifa, extending into what we today call southern Lebanon. Asher’s land was fruitful, but mountainous. To the people who lived in hilly terrain, God promises “iron shoes” for the roads they must travel.
From this we may take a very simple application. Every new year is the beginning of a new journey for us. How will we fare? What will the road be like? Will our way be rough or easy?
This Scripture suggests that we may have some rough road to travel before the year is done.
And if all we’re going to do in 2023 is sit and watch TV, then we don’t need iron shoes. Thick socks will do just fine.
But if we plan to travel rocky roads, we need good footwear. As coaches like to say, No pain, no gain. No guts, no glory. No struggle, no growth.
We will all walk on rocky roads before this year is done. There are no silk slippers on the road to heaven, on the road to, Thy Kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven…
We need iron shoes because the road is hard, the way difficult, the path sometimes treacherous.
God gives great promises, because the road itself is difficult, steep, and hard to climb. Your shoes will be of iron and brass, means, “the road ahead will be rocky and dangerous.”
But the Word is not merely a prophecy of rugged paths; it is also a promise of shoeing for the road, whatever it may be. One who is preparing to climb a mountain, craggy and precipitous, would not put on slippers; he would get strong, tough shoes, with heavy nails in the soles. When God sends us on a journey over steep and flinty paths—He will not fail to provide us with suitable shoes.
Asher's portion was not an accidental one; it was of God's choosing. Nor is there any accident in the ordering of the place, the conditions, the circumstances, for any of us, for any child of God's. Our times are in God's hands! No doubt, then, the hardnesses and difficulties of any one's lot, are part of the divine ordering for the best growth of the person's life.
As we continue in this new calendar year of 2023, God’s Word to his people is clear: “Forward, March!”
And the good news is this: What God demands, He supplies. When He puts His people on a hard road, He gives them iron shoes for the journey.

Joel 2:1
Blow a trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm on my Holy Mountain.
Isaiah 52:1
Awake, awake,… O Zion ... O Jerusalem, the holy city.
As many Americans begin to see unprecedented problems overshadowing their country's horizon, they yet again ask the question. “Is America in the Bible and what is told of her future?" Most of the religious leaders continue to answer, "No it is not!" or "Only as it relates to the tiny country of Israel today and its city of Jerusalem". Some are actually saying if America is in the Bible, it is Babylon in scripture, soon to be destroyed by God.
One wise man, after picturing an ocean view from the western shores of Europe 500 years ago, a view which revealed an endless stretch of Atlantic Ocean with no sign of a great vast North American continent, asked the following questions. "Did Jesus Christ know of the North American continent?" "Did Jesus Christ know that a great nation would be established there?" "Did Jesus Christ know this great nation (yet to be born) would be Christian from its beginning?"
For those who know and believe Jesus Christ to be the only begotten Son of God resurrected from the grave who knows all things (John 21:17), the answers to the above are, "Yes, Yes, Yes!" So then comes one more question.
"Is it possible that the great nation of America, known to Jesus Christ, was never mentioned, indicated, or foretold in the Bible?" The answer to this question is self-evident and thus this treatise is to assist you in finding America and her story in scripture.
Since most religious leaders have missed finding America in scripture it must then be concealed. This is God's way, for Proverbs 25:2 says, It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of Kings is to search out a matter.
|
|
Considering the fact a King was a leader, one sees how badly our leaders today need to search out the matter. Since we are living at the end of an age (not end of the world) known in scripture as the latter days or the end time, diligent searching is in order, for Daniel 12:9 states, .... for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time. That end time is described in Daniel 12:4 as a time when people would travel to and fro, and knowledge would increase. Certainly, today's jet age travel and knowledge explosion befits that time.
If the nation of America is concealed, then one will not and does not find such terms as "America", "United States" or "USA" in the Bible but one does find Jesus speaking of a nation in Matthew 21:42-44: Jesus said to them, 'Did you never read in the scriptures, the stone which the builders rejected, this became the chief comer stone; this came about from the Lord and it is marvelous in our eyes? Therefore I say to you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and given to a NATION producing the fruit of it. And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust.'
From these scriptures we see the Kingdom was going to be taken from one group (more concerning that group later) and given to "a Nation." This no doubt is confusing for those who have been told that the Kingdom of God is within you or in your heart. This misunderstanding comes from Luke 17:21 of the King James translation ... the Kingdom of God is within you. The word "within" in this case was improperly translated. In the Greek it is "entos" and really means "among" or "in the midst of' and has been translated correctly in the King James version 115 times, such as in John 1:26 where John the Baptist said, there standeth one among (entos) you. There are many and varied doctrines concerning the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Heaven (both phrases are used interchangeably in scripture), but it becomes apparent from Jesus' words that the Kingdom would be given to a NATION. At this point let's remember that to have a Kingdom there must be a King, a Law, a people, and geographical territory.
What nation is Jesus speaking of and where else in scripture might we search to learn of this nation? Jesus taught that he would be the cornerstone and that the stone would crush and scatter whoever it falls on. With this thought in mind one finds that the prophets spoke of a stone kingdom that would exist in the last days that would crush and destroy. This is found in Daniel chapter 2 and as we consider the scripture in this chapter remember another term for nation can be "Kingdom."

Chapter two of Daniel tells of King Nebuchadnezzar's dream of a great statue. Daniel describes the dream to the King in verses 31-35:
You, O king, were looking and behold, there was a single great statue; that statue, which was large and of extraordinary splendor, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was awesome. The head of that statue was made of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly, and its thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. You continued looking until a stone was cut out without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay, and crushed them. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed all at the same time, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth." (NAS)
In verses 36 thru 43, Daniel interprets the dream and tells that the gold, silver, bronze, and iron of the statue represents kingdoms that would make up the statue that is headed by gold or Babylon. Then in verse 44 he describes the STONE Kingdom which was established by God, And in the days of those Kings the God of heaven will set up a Kingdom which will never be destroyed and that Kingdom will not be left for another people; it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever. Daniel 2:28 indicates that this was to be a "latter day" event.

From these scriptures in Daniel we can search out and gather valuable information. In verses 35 and 44 we see that the term mountain is a prophetic term for nation, kingdom, or government. We also see the forming of the nation or kingdom was to be by God's divine providence and that it was not to be left to another people.
The Hebrew word for people as defined in Strongs Concordance means "spec. a tribe (as those of Israel)." We can go elsewhere in Scripture to read more about a prophetic nation described as a towering mountain but let's further consider the people of the Kingdom. Not only does the Hebrew word bear out that it is the Israel people but so do the teachings of Jesus. Jesus after teaching the Apostles for three years concerning the kingdom and after forty days of intense teaching on the kingdom (Acts 1:3) was asked the following question by the apostles (Acts 1:6), 'And so when they had come together, they were asking Him saying, 'Lord is it at this time you are restoring the kingdom to ISRAEL? This identifies the people of the kingdom of Daniel 2:44.
But who are these people called Israel? First let’s note who they are not. They are not the people who today call themselves Jews. While the Jewish people continue to argue as to whether a Jew is a Jew by race or religion or culture, they do semi-openly admit in their writings that they are not the Israel people of the Bible. In the 1980 Jewish Almanac, in the first sentence of the first chapter, entitled, "Identity Crisis" we are told, strictly speaking it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a ‘Jew’ or to call a contemporary Jew an ‘Israelite,’ or a ‘Hebrew.’
The Israel people, who we will identify a bit further on, were the Hebrews of scripture, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. According to Genesis 17:1-7 they were to form a multitude of nations and according to Genesis 12:2 of their father Abraham, God said, I will make of thee a great nation. Of these people and of this great Kingdom or nation that was to be theirs the prophets had much to say.
The prophet Isaiah was one such prophet. Isaiah chapter two verses 1-4 describes the same mountain Daniel wrote of: "The word which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem: Now it will come about, In the last days, the mountain of the house of the Lord will be established as the chief of the mountains, and will be raised above the hills; and all the nations will stream to it. And many peoples will come and say, 'Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that He may teach us concerning His ways, and that we may walk in His paths. For the law will go forth from Zion and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And He will judge between the nations, and will render decisions for many peoples; and they will hammer their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, And never again will they war." (NAS)
From this scripture we learn that there would be a nation ON EARTH which would be higher or greater than any other. We know that this scripture has never been totally fulfilled as there has never yet been world peace when men have beaten their swords into plow shares. Yet if this prophecy has now been· partially fulfilled and on its way to total fulfillment we would look for a nation that became greater than any other nation in the world. A nation Godlier (at least at one time) than any other nation. Also this nation would be such that the rest of the world would want to go there.
Isn't it interesting that America became in a very short time span on the historical clock, the greatest, richest nation in the world and the nation most people of the world long to live in? We see from verse 3 that God's Word would go forth from such a nation. Again it is interesting to note that no nation has sent out more missionaries and printed more Bibles than the United States of America.
Isaiah calls this great mountain or nation "Zion" and "Jerusalem". These two terms are used interchangeably in Bible prophecy along with such terms as "Mount Zion", "City of the Living God", "Heavenly Jerusalem", and "Kingdom of God". More then can be learned of this nation of scripture by searching out Bible teaching on prophetic "Zion" and "Jerusalem".
Isaiah 62:1-5 is one such place.
For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not keep quiet, until her righteousness goes forth like brightness, and her salvation like a torch that is burning. And the nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory; and you will be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord will designate. You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. It will no longer be said to you, 'Forsaken,' nor to your land will it any longer be said, 'desolate'; but you will be called, 'My delight is in her,' And your land, 'Married'; For the Lord delights in you, And to Him your land will be married. for as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons will marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so your God will rejoice over you." (NAS)

Of this nation called Zion we learn that she would be called by a new name (verse 2) thus, it stands to reason that today that nation would not bear the name Zion or Jerusalem. Notice from verses 1 and 6 that Zion and Jerusalem are words speaking of the same place. Notice also that Zion has LAND, evidence that it's on earth not in heaven. It is a very special land; as God says, He will marry the land. Prior to this marriage however, Zion is going to be considered "Forsaken" and will be made desolate (verse 4). We will search out more scripture concerning the forsaken and desolate aspect of this prophetic land or nation but let's consider further this marriage to the land of Zion.
Revelation chapter 21 speaks of a marriage to a new Jerusalem (remember Jerusalem and Zion are used interchangeably in Bible prophecy) also called the Holy City. Revelation 21 verse one teaches this event will take place when a new heaven and a new earth replace the first heaven and first earth. Remembering this is prophetic language rather than literal, we understand that this signifies the end of an age and the beginning of a new age. Of that time, verse 2 states, And I saw the Holy City, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. Verses 3 and 4 say, And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, 'Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He shall dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God himself shall be among them, and He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall no longer be any death; there shall no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.
From these verses one also recognizes that prior to the marriage God's people had "mourning", "crying", and "pain". This would fit the forsaken and desolate description of Zion that Isaiah spoke of prior to the marriage. Going on in Revelation chapter 21 we read the description of this New Jerusalem, the bride, the wife of the Lamb, and verse 15 speaks of an angelic being sent to measure this place called Jerusalem. There is a very similar event recorded by the prophet Zechariah concerning a LAND called Jerusalem and Zion.
Zechariah 2:1-8 (KJV) states, "I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand. Then said, “Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what the breadth is thereof. and what is the length thereof. And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him, And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein: For l saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her. Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the Lord, for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the Lord. Deliver thyself.0 Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you, for he that toucheth you toucheth the APPLE OF HIS EYE. (emphasis added)
We see this Jerusalem of prophecy cannot be the ancient city of Jerusalem which is about 20 miles by 15 miles for this Jerusalem was a LAND having towns without walls, having a multitude of people and cattle. The town without walls indicates that this is not the old Biblical lands for their towns have walls. Un-walled cities indicates a place that was at peace not preparing itself for a military siege. Also note, God said He would be a wall of fire about her.
The multitude of cattle indicates great agricultural wealth. Can you think of a nation with peace and great prosperity that fits this prophetic JerUSAlem?
Many people would long to be born in such a place just as Psalms 87:5-6 says.
But of Zion it shall be said, 'This one and that one were born in her'; and the most High Himself will establish her. The Lord shall count when He registers the peoples, this one was born there. (NAS)
Isn't it interesting that right now pregnant Mexican women break the law and risk health and limb to get across the Rio-Grande in order to give birth to their children in the U.S.A.?
In Zechariah 2:1-8 we see that this Jerusalem land, this nation called Zion, was special to God and was called the APPLE OF HIS EYE and that something would happen to it. It would be captured by Babylon for verse 7 says, Deliver thyself. 0 Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. Verse 8 shows that Zion was being made spoil or was being plundered by the other nations. This fits Isaiah's description of Zion forsaken and desolate prior to the marriage and the Revelation description of mourning, crying and pain prior to the marriage.
Why would this happen to this prophetic nation? Isaiah 51:23 and 52:1 gives the answer. Verse 23 describes a forsaken, painful plunder situation when it speaks of Zion's tormentors sent by God.
And I will put it into the hand of your tormentors, who have said to you, lie down that we may walk over you. You have made your back like the ground, and like the street for those who walk over it. The next verse gives the answer why this happened to Zion.
''Awake, awake, clothe yourself in your strength, O Zion; Clothe yourself in your beautiful garments.”
Three things had happened to Zion that caused her problem.
One ... she had gone to sleep that is; she had not been alert. It was a wise American who said, 'eternal vigilance is the price of liberty'. It was a fat communist butcher named Nikita Khruschev who said, "You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright, but we'll keep feeding you small doses of Socialism until you'll finally WAKE UP and find you already have communism." It is interesting that books have been written with such titles as WAKE-UP AMERICA and WHILE YOU SLEPT.

Two ... Zion had lost her strength and needed to be clothed again in such strength. Jesus indicated He was our strength when He said in- John 15:5, I am the vine. you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in Him, he bears much fruit for apart from me you can do nothing.
Three ... Zion had lost its righteousness.
The Bible teaches that there is no righteousness outside of Jesus Christ. Galatians 3:27 says, For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourself with Christ.
Is it possible that the scriptures are describing an end time nation that began as a Christian nation, and then because of peace, prosperity and neglect, becomes captive oppressed and nearly destroyed?
History tells of a French political philosopher who visited America when she was a new young nation. Alexis de Tocqueville said he came to the United States to learn what magic quality enabled a handful of people to defeat the mighty British Empire twice in 35 years. He looked for the greatness of America in her harbors and rivers, her fertile fields and boundless forests, mines, and other natural resources. He studied America's schools, her Congress, and her matchless Constitution without comprehending America's power. Not, he said, until he went into the churches of America and heard pulpits, "aflame with righteousness" did he understand the secret of her genius and strength. de Tocqueville returned to France and wrote: America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.
The remainder of Isaiah 52:1-2 indicates what this Zion needs to wake up to or to become aware of, For the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you. The terms uncircumcised and unclean are Bible terms for people other than the Israel people of the Bible. Evidently this nation was being overrun by another people.
Verses 2 and 3 of Isaiah 52 says,
"Shake yourself from the dust, rise up. O captive Jerusalem: loose yourself from the chains around your neck. O captive daughter of Zion. For thus you were sold for nothing, and you will be redeemed without money.
With some analysis of these two verses one begins to recognize the nature of Zion's Babylonian captivity. The terms "sold for nothing" and "redeemed without money" indicate an economic captivity. To be sold, to be captive and to have chains around one's neck is to be a slave. Proverbs 22:7 indicates such slavery can come about through economics. Proverbs 22:7, The rich rules over the poor and the borrower becomes the lender's slave.
The founding fathers were well aware of the insidious enslaving nature of debt that could happen so slowly as to never awaken the people. Thomas Jefferson wrote the following to a friend in 1816 ... if we run into such debt that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink ·and in our necessities and in our comforts, in our labors, in our callings and our creeds. Our people must come to labor 16 hours of the 24, give our earnings of 15 of these to the government, have no time to think, no means of calling our mis managers to account, but be glad to obtain sustenance by hiring ourselves out to rivet their CHAINS ON THE NECK of our fellow sufferers. And this is the tendency of all human government until the bulk of society is reduced to mere automatons of misery and the forehorse of this frightful team is PUBLIC DEBT. Misery and taxation follows that and, in its train, wretched oppression."
Isn't it interesting how America's decline has been in proportion to her debt, and she has become a debtor nation with literally trillions of dollars of debt, more debt than all the money and all the property in America several times over. Notice verse 3 says Zion was, sold for nothing! The meaning of this becomes evident by considering the present end time monetary system which America has mortgaged all its property and people to.
Speaking of this type of money system, Horace Greeley once boasted with the following words, We have stricken the (slave) shackles from four million human beings and brought all laborers to a common level, not so much by the elevation of former slaves as by practically reducing the whole working population, white and black, to a condition of serfdom. While boasting of our noble deeds, we are careful to conceal the ugly fact that by our iniquitous money system we have nationalized a system of oppression which though more refined, is no less cruel than the old system of chattel slavery.
That system is today called the Federal Reserve System. It is a non-government equity, a privately owned corporation that controls the volume of money in America. President James A. Garfield once said, Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce."
With the present-day money system there is really no money, only debt. More than a hundred years ago John C. Calhoun said that we had given the banks the government credit for NOTHING, only to borrow it back at interest. Every dollar is a dollar of debt created out of nothing (except paper and ink or a ledger entry) and is backed by nothing. For these nothings, all assets in America have been mortgaged, thus the scripture says, You were sold for nothing.
Since America has given up everything (mortgaged) for nothing, it would only be just that everything be gotten back (un-mortgaged) for nothing thus the scripture says, You will be redeemed without money.
Could this mean all debt in Zion will be canceled in accordance with God's Law on the Jubilee of release?
America is presently in Babylonian debt bondage and stands only as a shell of her former grandeur, but such hasn't always been so. This fact is also in keeping with the Zion described in scripture and found in the book of Micah.
Micah 4:1,2 & 6-8 says of Zion (NAS), ''And it will come about in the last days that the mountain of the house of the Lord will be established as the chief of the mountains. It will be raised above the hills, and the peoples will stream to it. And many nations will come and say, come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord and to the house of the God of Jacob, that He may teach us about His ways and that we may walk in His paths. For from Zion will go forth the law, even the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
In that day, declares the Lord, I will assemble the lame, and gather the outcasts, even those whom I have afflicted. I will make the lame a remnant, and the out casts a strong nation, and the Lord will reign over them in Mount Zion from now on and forever. And as for you, tower of the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come - even the former dominion will come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
Verses 6 and 7 teach that Zion would be made into a strong nation by afflicted outcasts. The King James translation speaks of the outcasts as those cast afar off. Such terminology indicates the people came from far away. It is no coincidence that America was founded with outcasts, called immigrants, from faraway lands. Even the Statue of Liberty, standing at a once major harbor for immigrants, has the inscription, Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest tossed to me.

The earliest settlers of America, called the Pilgrims and Puritans, were out casts from England. Both groups were considered "fanatics" by the Church of England. The Puritans were people who wished to purify the church from within and were thus dubbed Puritans. They were tolerated but always held suspect. The Pilgrims felt the Church of England was corrupt beyond any possible purification and thus, they separated themselves from it, and were called Separatists. These people were persecuted by church Bishops who had been given a free hand by Queen Elizabeth to suppress them. Both groups came to America to establish the Christian faith and they were the forerunners of the greatest mass migration in history, wherein the Nordic race of people, known as the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic and kindred people, came from their respective European nations to form the United States of America. These people were often poor and homeless, matching the description in scripture of lame, afflicted, and outcasts.
The early writings of the Pilgrims and Puritans show they knew themselves to be God's people Israel, and they called the land of America "the city of God", "the Promised Land" and "new Israel." They called themselves Abraham's seed, Jacobites and Israel. They seemed to consider their coming to America fulfillment of prophecy. This last point can best be seen by considering a farewell sermon preached by a Puritan minister named John Cotton in the fall of 1629, just prior to the departure of l,000 puritans to America.
Samuel Eliot Morison later described the sermon as follows:
Cotton's sermon was of a nature to inspire these new children of Israel with the belief that they were the Lord's chosen people; destined if they kept the covenant with Him, to people and fructify this new Canaan in the Western wilderness. (from page 25 of John Winthrop and the Founding of New England in Colonial America.) The sermon text John Cotton used was 2 Samuel 7:10 concerning the future homeland of God's people Israel.
I will also appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them, that they may live in their own place and not be disturbed again, nor will the wicked afflict them any more as formerly.
To understand the meaning and significance of this prophecy, we must consider the time and place it was spoken in light of God's covenants with Abraham the father of the children of Israel. God had promised Abraham in Genesis 12:2 that He would make of him a great nation and then in Genesis 17:1-7 that his seed would even form a multitude of nations. When 2 Samuel 7:10 was spoken, the Israel people had formed the old nation of Israel and were in the old land of Palestine, with David as their King, but if they are to form a multitude of nations and a truly great nation called ZION, then there must be more land.
The great and rich geographical land mass called the North American Continent was and is that land and was so recognized by the Pilgrims and Puritans. The settling of that land and the forming of the nation called the United States of America was done by the Nordic race called the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic and
kindred people.
They were and still are today the Israel people of scripture. They had once had a nation or kingdom, but lost it, and now it was being restored in America.
This restoration was foretold by the prophet Micah.
Micah 4:8 says, And as for you, tower of the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come-even the former dominion will come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
On July 4, 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was signed by 56 men, all of one race, the Israel race, it is recorded that Samuel Adams then said, We have this day RESTORED the sovereign, to whom alone men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and ... from the rising to the setting sun, may His Kingdom come.
As the news of the signing of the Declaration of Independence reached the people of the newborn nation, church bells were rung, cannons fired and Americans delirious with joy waved and cheered in the streets. Samuel Adams wrote, The people, I am told, recognize the resolution as though it were a decree promulgated from heaven.
History shows, that for a short time, greatness came upon the nation of America. Her economy was the soundest in the world, her morals the most Christian, her technological advancements the greatest, her citizens the healthiest, her armies the mightiest.

But then something happened.
Morals declined, military ventures failed, money became debt and paper, the economy became erratic and school children failed to learn to read. America's category of problems now include drugs, pornography, materialism, promiscuity, illegal aliens, farm crisis, unemployment, weather, disease, trade imbalances, etc. Truly she fits the description of the prophets as forsaken, afflicted, and tormented.
This state is described in the next three verses of Micah 4:9-11, NAS.
Now, why do you cry out loudly? Is there no king among you, or has your counselor perished, that agony has gripped you like a woman in childbirth? Writhe and labor to give birth. daughter of Zion, like a woman in childbirth. for now you will go out of the city, dwell in the field, and go to Babylon. There you will be rescued; there the Lord will redeem you from the hand of your enemies. And now many nations have been assembled against you who say, 'let her be polluted, and let our eyes gloat over Zion'."
These scriptures describe problems that would come upon Zion as a result of going to Babylon and match the prophecies of Zechariah 2 and Isaiah 52 and Revelation 21. Verse 10 reveals the end time difficulties to be so severe that they cannot save themselves without their God's intervention.
Let's search the scriptures to determine what those problems were. Micah discloses that they would be like pains of childbirth. This could mean that they come on ever harder with one leading to another in ever closer succession. Such seems to depict America's present plight. Micah 4:11 shows many nations would turn on her. Zechariah 2:8 said the nations would plunder her. This plunder is described in Isaiah 62:8 ... The Lord has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm, I will never again give your grain as food for your enemies; nor will foreigners drink your new wine, for which you have labored.
Isn't it interesting that this sounds like the foreign aid policy of the United States Government? Isn't it true that in reality, the plains of America, such as Kansas, have become the breadbasket of the Soviet Union, her arch enemy?
Ezekiel also speaks of this plunder. Ezekiel, chapters 35 and 36, speaks concerning Edom the enemy of Israel at the end time of the punishment of Israel (Ezekiel 35:2). In Ezekiel 35:12, God says to Edom, Then you will know that I the Lord have heard all your reviling’s which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel saying, 'They are laid desolate; they are given to us for food.'
Ezekiel 36:5 shows Edom and other nations were taking God's land of Zion. . . therefore, thus says the Lord God, 'Surely in the fire of My jealousy I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, who appropriated my land for themselves as a possession with wholehearted joy and with scorn of soul to drive it out for a prey.
Such events described by Ezekiel match the words of Jesus in Luke 16:16 when He said men would force their way into the Kingdom of God.
We shall go to some more scripture concerning taking the land of Zion and feeding upon Israel, but let's first comment about Edom. Edom means red, and the Edomites or Reds were always the enemies of Israel. They were the descendants of Esau. Abraham's son of the promise was Isaac and Isaac had twin sons Esau and Jacob. Esau lost the birthright (this was in part his heir to the kingdom of God) to his brother Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel (meaning ruling with God), and he fathered twelve sons, who in turn fathered the 13 tribes of Israel. Esau, Edom always wanted back the birthright.
Psalms 137:7-8 is one of many places in scripture that teaches the connection between Edom and Babylon and their end time hatred and attempted destruction of prophetic Jerusalem.
Remember, O Lord, against the sons of Edom. The day of Jerusalem, who said 'Raze it, raze it, to its very foundation' O daughter of Babylon, you devasted one, how blessed will be the one who repays you with the recompense with which you have repaid us.

Isaiah 63:2 says Edom's apparel is red and Jeremiah 50 verses 16 and 23 say Babylon wields a sickle and is the hammer of the whole earth. Isn't it interesting that America's enemies at her birth were the RED coats and her enemies in these last days are RED communists whose emblem is a hammer and sickle? Isn't it interesting that the earth is threatened to be swallowed up with a one world government and to become ONE. This was the ancient goal of the builders of the Tower of Babel. The word Babel is the same word translated in the Bible as Babylon.
It is time to sound an alarm in Zion just as the prophet Joel has commanded. The reason for the alarm is described in Joel chapter one as it tells of a land invaded by people described as a devastating locust, feeding on and devouring the land of Zion. Isn't it interesting that America is being invaded by illegal aliens coming in to partake of the welfare system and thus feeding off God's people Israel?
Like the locust of Joel, today where communism goes, it devastates the land so as to not even be capable of feeding itself.
The Ukraine of Russia was once the breadbasket of Europe, and Cuba was once called the pearl of its area, and now both areas, under communism, must import food. The Locust of Joel devastated the land (Joel 1:7).
Joel 2:17-20 (NAS) Let the priests, the Lord's ministers, weep be tween the porch and the altar, and let them say, 'spare thy people, O Lord, and do not make Thine inheritance a reproach, a byword among the nations. Why should they among the peoples say, where is their God?" Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, and will have pity on His people And the Lord will answer and say to His people, Behold, I am going to send you grain, new wine, and oil, and you will be satisfied in full with them; and I will never again make you a reproach among the nations. But I will remove the northern army far from you, and I will drive it into a parched and desolate land, and its vanguard into the eastern sea, and its rear guard into the western sea. And its stench will arise, and its foul smell will come up, for it has done great things."
From verse 17 we see the situation became so serious God's people must pray not to be totally destroyed. Today in America the AngloSaxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic, and kindred people, God's Israel people are about to become a byword in their own nation as they are being overwhelmed with blacks, Asiatic, Cubans and Hispanics. Verse 18 shows God will be jealous for His land and hear His people when they cry to Him. Verse 19 shows He would restore their once great wealth and verse 20 teaches He will remove an invading northern army and push them into the eastern sea and western sea.
|

From this we learn that prophetic Zion has an eastern and western sea just like the United States of America. Isn't it interesting, that many military experts maintain that if the Red armies of Russia invade America that a major invasion route would be from the north? From the Baltic Sea into Alaska, Canada, and America. Joel 3 verses 9-11 say there will be a war with nations called surrounding nations. Micah 4:11 spoke also of nations assembled against Zion and Revelation 20 verses 8-9 speak of nations surrounding the beloved city for war only to be devoured by fire. Zechariah 2:5 teaches that God would be a wall of fire around Zion. Jesus said, in Matthew 11:12, ...the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and violent men take it by force.
This surrounding of Zion fits with the long-standing plans of Communism announced by the beady-eyed murderer, Vladimir Lenin ... After Russia we will take Eastern Europe, then the masses of Asia, then we will encircle the United States which will be the last bastion of Capitalism. We will not have to attack. It will fall like an overripe fruit into our hands.
Ezekiel 38 also speaks of an end time battle to take place upon the mountains of Israel by a northern army. Verses 8 and 11-12 describe the land. . . After many days you will be summoned; in the latter years you will come into the land that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel which had been a continual waste; but its people were brought out from the nations, and they are living securely, all of them.
And you will say, 'I will go up against the land of un-walled villages. I will go against those who are at rest, that live securely, all of them living without walls, and having no bars or gates; to capture spoil and to seize plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places which are now inhabited, and against the people who are gathered from the nations, who have acquired cattle and goods, who live at the center of the world."
From these verses we learn the land was inhabited by people gathered out of many nations to a land that had been a continual waste. America was settled by immigrants from many nations, who came to change a land that had laid idle and for centuries gone to waste into a great nation. In the process they had to fight for it. They fought Redcoats, Indians, and Mexicans. Verse eight says the land had been restored by the sword. Verse 11 shows the inhabitants of the land (rich in cattle and goods) were living at peace in un-walled villages, unsuspecting of any danger. America should not forget the statement made years ago by the Soviet official, Dimitri Manuilski, War to the hilt between communism and capitalism is inevitable ... The bourgeois will have to be put to sleep. So we shall begin by launching the most spectacular peace movement on record. The capitalistic countries, stupid and decadent, will rejoice to cooperate in their own destruction. They will leap at another chance to be friends. As soon as their guard is down, we shall smash them with our clenched fists.

What is the outcome of these great end time events in store for the great nation Jesus said would receive the Kingdom? Remember Daniel 2 teaches the stone kingdom would crush and put an end to the kingdoms headed by the gold kingdom of Babylon. Jesus said the kingdom of God would be given to a nation and that on whomever the stone falls it will scatter him like dust. This is all in keeping with the words of Micah he explains the outcome of Zions Babylonian captivity. Micah 4:11-13 says (NAS)
And now many nations have been assembled against you who say, let her be polluted, and let our eyes gloat over Zion. But they do not know the thoughts of the Lord, and they do not understand His purpose; for He has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor. Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion, for your horn I will make iron and your hoofs I will make bronze, that you may pulverize many peoples, that you may devote to the Lord their unjust gain and their wealth to the Lord of all the earth".
Note that the nations who planned to destroy Zion did not know God's plan was to destroy and pulverize them.
Yes, the great nation of America was known to Jesus Christ and is in His Word, the Holy Bible, even though the religious leaders of her land still adamantly deny it. Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of such ministers when he said in Isaiah 56:10-11 (NAS) His watchmen are blind, all of them know nothing. All of them are dumb dogs unable to bark, dreamers lying down, who love to slumber; And the dogs are greedy, they are not satisfied. And they are shepherds who have no understanding; they have all turned to their own way, each one to his unjust gain, to the last one.
Zion was to be called by a new name, which is America, meaning "Heavenly Kingdom" in the Gothic language, and it is time for her to awake.
It is time to, "blow a trumpet in Zion and sound an alarm."
It is time for our religious and civil leaders to obey the instructions of Joel.
Joel 1:13-15 states (NAS) Gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament, O priests; Wail, O ministers of the altar! Come, spend the night in sackcloth, O ministers of my God, For the grain offering and libation are withheld from the house of your God. Consecrate a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly; gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land to the house of the Lord your God, and cry out to the Lord. Alas for the day! For the day of the Lord is near, and it will come as destruction from the Almighty':
And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of the Lord WILL be delivered; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as the Lord has said, even among the survivors whom the Lord calls. Joel 2:32 KJV

Pau D’Arco
A list of “folklore” uses include fighting infection, cancer, topical skin infections, prostate infections, pan relief, fights viruses, as well as candida or fungal overgrowth. Western medicine has begun to study some of them, with possibilities such as helping UTIs with its antimicrobial properties, reducing inflammation by increasing the Nrf2-target genes, a protein that regulates the expression of antioxidant proteins that protect against oxidative damage, triggered by injury or inflammation. A 2001 study showed its ability to lower feelings of pain by reducing the sensory processing of it, specifically related to arthritis, swelling and certain kinds of cancer.

Dear All at SFA,
I’m praying for all of you, that our Father in heaven will continue to bless and protect you and the ministry during these end times; and I thank our Lord for putting us here on earth at this most trying time in history. It is now, and I believe in our near future, going to be a real test of our faith-will we be true and faithful to the King of kings, Jesus Christ, or will we continue to rebel against HIM and favor satan and his demonic forces of hell, here in Babylon-and be forever in torment in his eternal hell? (Luke 16:23) As for me and my family, we’ve made our choice — Joshua 24:15 If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. PA

The article in the last DragonSlayer Newsletter, The Four Stages to Spiritual Truth, was good, but a bit dated. What was a problem then is now US Government Policy. Biden and his democratic supporters are not sabotaging the country anymore, they are flat out destroying it. Soon they will announce that our Savior’s name is Carl Marx, and since the majority of our churches advertise that they are Satanic Christian churches, they will support that move with great enthusiasm. Revelations 2:9 and 3:9.

Good Evening, I just finished reading your article entitled Revealing the Man of Sin, and I must say that it is truly an eye-opener. It puts to light many answers that I have been seeking regarding the targeting and vilification of the white man. I have noticed, as many are afraid to acknowledge, that there is a great undoing in our Nation and the world at large.
Mainstream Media is culpable in the agenda of “the man” as you have clearly pointed out.
Thank you for your studious research, and the sharing of your findings. Peace to you, Brother. Via Email
