people rejoice,
But when the bad govern, men groan!’
– Proverbs 29:2
PART I
> ‘WARS & RUMORS OF WAR’!
When America was founded by Our
Pilgrim & Puritan Forefathers, they actually
believed that they were in the service of Our Creator and were establishing a
second ‘Hebrew Republic’ that would
follow the Ten Commandments, Judgments & Statutes as set forth in The Divine
Laws for a Righteous Nation on behalf of a Righteous People – at a place
in time approximately 2500 years after the fall of the first Hebrew-Republic of
the Biblical Israelites – who were conquered first by the Assyrians & then Jerusalem
later by the Babylonians, all because the Israelites BROKE the Palestinian
Covenant and stopped following The Divine Laws of the Torah! [See 2 Kings 17-25 & 2 Chronicles
32-36].
Yet while the Israelites started
out Righteous and then gradually declined and forgot their founding, America
began and has continued to be a dichotomy whereby on the one hand we as a
people have shared an Open-Outstretched-Hand of Friendship towards others by
being a Servant and Witness unto The Divine Laws; we as a people have on the
other hand become a wretched tyrant committing war after war that has benefited
war-mongers & war-profiteers by stealing the wealth of other peoples &
nations – while taxing & killing our own people while at the same time
building a huge Military Industrial Complex (MIC)!
In the
entirety of the 239 years from the time that America
was founded in 1776, until today, AMERICA HAS ONLY BEEN AT ‘PEACE’ FOR A TOTAL OF 21 YEARS! America has been AT WAR
for 218 of its 239 years – and then
we wonder why all of us are considered an ‘UGLY-AMERICAN’…by other nations… and
why we have lost the Trust of other nations!

Biblically speaking, see Matthews,
Chapter 24, Verses 1 – 14, to wit:
1. And going out, YaHshua left the sanctuary. And His disciples came to show Him the
construction of the sanctuary.
2. But YaHshua said to them, “Do you not see all these things?
Truly I say to you, There will not at all be left one stone on a stone
which in no way will not be thrown down.”
3. And as He was sitting on the Mount of
Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will
these things be? And what is the sign of
Your coming and the end of the age?”
4. And answering, YaHshua said to them, “See that no man deceives you.
5. For many will come in
My Name, saying, I am the Messiah. And
they will cause many to be deceived.
6. For you are bound to
hear of revolutions and rumors of wars.
Watch out and do not be disturbed, for it is necessary that all these
things happen, but it is not yet the end.
7. For nation will be
raised against nation and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines
and plagues and earthquakes against many places.
8. But all these are a
beginning of sorrows.
9. Then they will deliver
you up to affliction, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations
because of My Name.
10.
And then many will be offended, and they will deliver up
one another and will hate one another.
11.And many false prophets
will be raised and will deceive many.
12.
And because lawlessness shall have been multiplied, the
love of the many will grow cold.
13.
But the one who endures to the end, that one will have
eternal life.
14.
And this good news of the Kingdom shall be published in all
the earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.”
[EDITOR’S NOTE: The Hebraic
Roots Bible is a translation restoring the Sacred Name of Our Creator, YaHoVaH,
and His Only Begotten Son, YaHshua, and has the New Testament based on the
original Aramaic Peshitta text, the very language that Our Savior spoke. The
original New Testament was not written in Greek, but Aramaic. Thus this is
a literal translation and is believed to be the closest translation to the
original language that was written thousands of years ago - the Bible as it was! The Old Testament is from the original Hebrew
manuscripts and the New Testament from the original Aramaic.]
As the above-scripture declares,
this is JUST THE BEGINNING and it may very well get worse as time unfolds! But behind every action there is a Cause
& Effect – and that’s what this series will also unfold. Instead of America becoming the ‘NEW JERUSALEM’ of the Biblical
prophecies, we have become by Biblical definition, the ‘NEW BABYLON’, and the Islamic State of Iraq & The Levant
(ISIL), or ‘ISIS’ (Islamic State of
Iraq & Syria), has become the ‘NEW
ASSYRIA’ of Biblical Prophecy and currently comprises about the same size
territory that Biblical Assyria occupied!
In the entirety of ALL AMERICA
WARS, from 1775 – 1991, approximately 42
MILLION people have dressed in uniforms of the various services and within the
last two-decades that total number of American Veterans has risen close to 60
MILLION! The ‘WARS’ are not getting any easier – and the number of dead &
wounded is getting higher proportionately!
And our current War with ISIS is just
beginning! We reap what we sow!
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER…WE ALL REAP WHAT WE HAVE SOWN…&
then some!
