Prophecy

Earthquakes of Biblical Proportion  ~by Doug Krieger  (1/05)

Is there a possible pattern of quakes in the New Testament?  Could there be some such significant message or rendering of prophetical importance by following the given accounts of such quakes in these Scriptures?   The point to be made here is the “prophetical sphere” of the shaking:  Heaven AND Earth.   The Messiah is coming . . The final shaking in the heavens AND the earth will echo with perplexity and distress as the sea and the waves roar . . . “they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.”   

 

 

The Prophetic Sequence  Part I—Trident Wars ~by Doug Krieger (07/06)

Trident Wars—three major conflagrations are apocalyptically poised to wreak havoc upon the inhabitants of the earth—yet, interspersed throughout are revivals, awakenings, and eternal harvesting by the Lord of the Harvest.  Setting in motion earth’s final indiscretions will be:  The Oracle of Damascus; next, the Gog-Magog Conflagration; and finally, the Battle of Armageddon.  This first in a continuous series known as the PROPHETIC SEQUENCE provides an overview of prophetic highlights—seen as “peaks” on the Bible’s eschatology—into the Millennial Reign of the Messiah and the Eternal State.  Yet, we must focus in on these three concentric circles which surround Jerusalem and bring order to the chaos which awaits the planet!

 

Damascus will cease From being a city
(Part II – The Prophetic Sequence)
~by Doug Krieger (08/06)

Zechariah 9 and Isaiah 17-18 seem altogether distant—yet they both speak of the Burden of Damascus yet future.  There is no superficial disconnect between Zechariah and Isaiah—only total prophetic collaboration.  Both speak of the destruction, defeat, and acquiescence of a future Syria, Lebanon, and even that of the Palestinian Authority!  Grief—how could Scriptures be so incredibly specific to see so accurately into the future?  Let us peer into the amazing insights of these ancient prophets who foretold of THE WAR that would ultimately conclude the Arab-Israeli conflict and usher in the COMPREHENSIVE PEACE AGREEMENT so longed for by the nations of the world

 

Till the end of the War”
(Part III – The Prophetic Sequence)
~by Doug Krieger (08/06)

The senseless and ceaseless Arab-Israeli Conflict is viewed as a six-part confrontation between antagonists . . . but it soon will terminate in a massive display of animosity and hatred in which its seventh and complete cataclysm will usher in an exhausted world and secular Zionist, both yearning for relief—even so, the elusive COMPREHENSIVE PEACE SETTLEMENT awaits us all. As of this writing the sixth episode in this, THE WAR, displays its outrage . . . yet its conclusion remains . . . this article brings secular observation and Biblical prophetic fact, face to face—this read will surprise you!

 

Israel's War
Part IV – The Prophetic Sequence
~by Doug Krieger (08/06)

Daniel 9:26b informs that Israel would endure desolations “till the end of THE WAR” – this article outlines the six major conflicts endured by Jacob since, what the Arabs entitle: The Catastrophe, 1948. From here the Sinai Campaign, the Six-Day War, the War of Attrition, the Yom Kippur War, the 1982 Lebanon War, and finally the sixth war, the current Syrophoenicia War between Israel and Hezbollah (2006). What awaits is the Seventh War—as if a Divine Hand had tolerated this awful waste; yet, its prediction in light of Iran-Syria-Israel-USA antagonisms portends the immediate futurity of this conclusive and imminent tragedy.

 

America's Patriotic Prophets
Part V – The Prophetic Sequence
~by Doug Krieger (08/06)

Hiding America’s involvement in the end-time’s prophetic sequence of events are a host of what’s been tabbed: The American Patriotic Prophets. This article either gets you mad, sad, or glad that you’re not a part of this stupidity that attempts to persuade you that “America is NOT in Bible Prophecy” – when, in point of glaring fact: THE USA IS SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF BIBLE PROPHECY! Read on, then weep—for the same Patriotic Prophets who brought you the good news of the pre-tribulation rapture—now bring you America’s divine destruction immediately following the Secret Rapture . . . who says you can’t be fooled twice!

 

Three Wars & One Peace Treaty
Part VI – The Prophetic Sequence
~by Doug Krieger (09/06)

Hasidic Jews, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and one pot-full of Evangelicals in America have a lot in common. For one—they are vehemently anti-Communist (especially, RUSSIAN communists) and both see Russia involved in the Gog-Magog War. Bashing Russia fits the profile of the Patriotic Prophets well—but the target is off—very off! This article examines why the Oracle of Damascus, according to Hal Lindsey, must come AFTER the rapture of the Church and why Gog-Magog, according to Dave Hunt and his “Jerusalem, a cup of trembling,” is really the Battle of Armageddon and doesn’t occur until at the end of Daniel 70th Week. Well, just why are these prophetic nuances so important—this article will bring this to life—and bring us all face to face with our prophetic destiny!

 

He will confirm the covenant... but who is he? 
Part VII – The Prophetic Sequence
~by Doug Krieger (09/06)

Those who deny the futurity of the Seventieth Week of Daniel’s prophecy and the Coming Prince, the Antichrist personified in the body of a man, yet undisclosed—look upon those who do affirm this prophetic posture as wholly deceived by Satan and headed toward utter destruction! One such critic on Israel’s future, and the Antichrist, is survivalist James Lloyd—who delights to renounce Dispensationalists in no uncertain terms; thence, he presents a clear target of rank doctrinal error, and we are more than obliged to “take him on” – for he claims we have committed “the unpardonable sin” – well, them’s fightin’ words, folks, big time!

 

The Prince Who Is To Come. . . But who is he?
Part VIII – The Prophetic Sequence
~by Doug Krieger (09/06)

Century’s speculation of the identity of the Man of Sin, the Willful King, the Son of Perdition, the Lawless One runs rampant—in sum:  Who is the Antichrist!  This slithering imposter of Messiah shall present himself as the earth’s officious peace maker whose origins revolve around the title of The Coming Prince, or Roman Prince.  Hence, the incessant speculation of the Euro-Centric Antichrist:  Prince of Wales, King Juan Carlos I, or a beast from the sea of common man like Mussolini or Hitler.  Who is this Knight in Shining Amour set to strut his stuff upon the world’s scene—and, could he be found in the mixed multitude of Europe’s extension:  The USA?

 

The Devil Made Me Do It! . . . not a diversion 
Part IX – The Prophetic Sequence
~by Doug Krieger (09/06)

President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and Pope Benedict XVI this past week (September 17-23, 2006) wound up on the opposite ends of “the devil made me do it” – Chavez by calling President Bush at the UN annual gathering of heads of state the “devil” and Pope Benedict XVI quoting from a 14th Century Byzantine emperor, Manuel II Paleologus, who decried Islam as a violent religion:  “Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.”  These two horrific outbursts only heighten the “War of Civilizations” taking place on the map—and, likewise, President Bush’s onslaughts on pressing upon the Middle East his version of democracy, much to the chagrin of Iran’s President Ahmadinejad—both of whom made this week’s follies at the UN a real display of world disintegration!

 

By peace he shall destroy many
Part X – The Prophetic Sequence
~by Doug Krieger (10/06)

Ah! Blessed are the peace makers—even so, when will our fearless leader oblige the nations until there is the much-vaunted COMPREHENSIVE PEACE SEATTLEMENT long-promised to the nations of the Middle East? Could it possibly be that “by peace he shall destroy many?” What an oxymoronic concept: DESTRUCTIVE PEACE! Even so—is that not what is happening? This article points an accusatory finger at the Man of Peace—the ANTICHRIST; and, likewise, rejects the insipid doctrines of Protestants who surmise that Antichrist is but a spirit abiding in the Roman Catholic Church. The denial that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh (a fete the early Gnostics disbursed) was denounced as ANTICHRIST! Even so, there are many antichrists that are “gone out into the world” – and there is also what the Apostle John called “the spirit of antichrist.” But, don’t be so naïve—THE Antichrist lurks beneath and abounds in the “spirit of antichrist” that has gone out into the world!

 

Early Church Fathers Our Prophetic Legacy
Part XI – The Prophetic Sequence
~by Doug Krieger (10/06)

The “Prophetic Sequence” is NOT based upon spurious history—no, we base our “findings” up the foundations of the “Early Church Fathers” – whereas others “among us” have little respect, nor inclination, to investigate the origins of apocalyptic drama in the Latter Days. Their outrageous prognostications are an embarrassment to clear-thinking Christians who know that to claim there is little relevance in the writings of “The Fathers” only belies their contempt for our founders and betrays the continuity of the faith once delivered! This writer is pleased to quote Polycarp, Irenaeus, Justin Martyr, and Hippolytus in this pursuit of eschatological excellence—while exposing the absurdities of modern-day proponents who claim historical credibility, only to be exposed for their shallow and agenda-driven interpretations of true historical fact! No—the Antichrist, the future Seventieth Week of Daniel, the Abomination of Desolation, the future Treaty with Death and Hell, the revival of Roman Empire and its “Western Leadership” – the Antichrist – are all recorded by the Fathers—you do well to take heed to their remarkable consistencies, including the future manifestation of a literal 1,000-year millennium!

 

Theo-Neo-Paleo Cons
…I saw a woman mounted on a Scarlet-colored Beast
Part XII – The Prophetic Sequence
~by Doug Krieger (11/06)

The 2006 election approaches--and will have concluded by your reading--all the while the SEVENTH KING of John’s Revelation inexorably lunges forth to the top of the hill to be the American Exceptionalism foreseen by preacher and politico. Theocons and their allies have little eschatological grasp of what they are about--all “in the name of God” and worse yet, in the Name of the Judeo-Christian-Evangelical-Catholic God! The “Woman Mounts the Beast” - and in so doing seeks the political wherewithal to orchestrate her theodicy--all the while the Beast upon whom she sits declares his noble and global intensions in the pursuit of his mercantile empire. Alas! Moral justification for the SEVENTH KING has always been sought--its culmination and eventual identification with the Beast himself, the EIGHTH (who is of the SEVENTH)--but will no longer be permitted, for he will turn on her, devour her, and burn her with fire!

 

Full Nuclearization... Israel will disappear.
Part XIII - The Prophetic Sequence
~by Doug Krieger (11/06)

Go figure—the Democrats are viewed by radical Islam as the voice of sanity and retreat from their sacred lands.  So, the first thing they do is shoot Nancy Pelosi’s top anti-war critic, John Murtha.  Now, that makes a lot of sense.  Everyone puts on the smiley face and acts like nothing happened but “love and oneness.”  Meanwhile Pat Robertson proposes Northern Iraq be merged with Syria, forming Assyria (getting ready for Isaiah’s prophecy about a highway extending from Assyria to Egypt through Israel).  Then there’s mega-purpose-driven Rick Warren paying obeisance to the Grand Mufti of Damascus and turning into a Propaganda Prophet for Syria.  Man, can somebody save us from ourselves before President Ahmadinejad “disappears” Israel; all the while the USA, now amassing a monster flotilla in the Persian Gulf, blows the modern-day Haman off the map bringing in the 12th Imam and the Islamic Messiah!  Oh, yes, this has been quite a month . . . and it’s only beginning.

 

The Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy (Rev. 19:10)
Part XIV - The Prophetic Sequence
~by Doug Krieger (11/06)

The TESTIMONY OF JESUS is about to be empowered through the TWO WITNESSES—Israel and the Church—at the close of the age.  This is the “spirit of prophecy” – this is the undying love of God displayed through those who are committed to this testimony.  This is a theological address primarily for Christians—Christians and the seed of Abraham, the Jews . . . it is a call to revolutionary eschatology whose time will arrive because the irrepressible perseverance of the Almighty to face off with that Great City. . . but first He must call forth His witnesses in this universal courtroom drama . . . TWO WOMEN – TWO WITNESSES – this is a must read!

 

“America, the Babylon” 
Part XV – The Prophetic Sequence
~by Doug Krieger (12/06)

Mystery Babylon of the Apocalypse is America the Beautiful—that’s what Richard Coombes in his book, America, the Babylon asserts. This bald-faced endeavor to expose the real Babylon of the last days has absolutely nothing to do with Charles H. Dyer’s Saddam’s Babylon, nor of Mark Hitchcock’s Euro-centric Antichrist. Neither Dyer nor Hitchcock affirms any credibility to the prospect of America as the real Mystery Babylon of the last days—but Coombes nails this “Mother of the Harlots!” It’s time the Prophetic Prophets faced up to the fact that the American Experiment was founded—not by a bunch of Puritans and Pilgrims but by sophisticated pagans—pagans who incorporated scores of ancient Babylonian symbols and architecture into America’s fabric and throughout her nation’s capital, Washington, D.C.

Apostasy in the Church

 

When a Good Man becomes a "God-Man"  ~by Doug Krieger

The ecumenism of Rome is now at full tilt with the election of Cardinal Ratzinger as Pope Benedict XVI.  Religious under girding of the political Beast of Revelation 13 provides righteous covering for Antichrist's exploits.  Rome's pomp and circumstance provides compelling evidence that the False Prophet's arrival upon earth's final week is well prepared!

 

            The Immoral Minority  ~by Doug Krieger

This is an exposé of some very modern day false prophets as forewarned by Jesus in Matthew 24. 

 

The Immoral Minority Scene II  ~by Doug Krieger

It only gets worse...Religion + Commerce = Political Victory 

 

Guilt Money ~ The "War on Terrorism" has taken a decidedly unpopular twist -- but it's nothing that money can't fix; the only problem is this:  It's blood money . . . read on and get the real news behind the news from the New Hampshire Minuteman! 

 

Sheer Theological Nonsense by Doug Krieger (12/04)

Beneath the crust of today’s “religious commercialism” lies a religious arrogance and pride, coupled with spiritual superiority, that has become the bane of the Church.  This is NOT news—for the “Scribes and Pharisees” in Jesus’ time were plagued by this pathology… To the contrary—the prophetic depiction of the servants of the Lord, the TWO WITNESSES—is one of triumphant and empowering testimony at the commencement of the Seventieth Week and of grace and courage under fire during the latter half of that Great Tribulation.

 

 

Johann Tetzel, Scaring The Hell Out Of Christians ~Intimidation and subterfuge -- by all means to raise money for worthy and/or "desperate" Christian ministries!  Tetzel and TBN, among others, have a lot in common.

Apostasy Comes First  ~by Doug Krieger  (12/04)

This five-part series uncovers the inherent deceit within the “Great Falling Away from the Faith” prophesied in Scripture to take place in the “latter times.”  It is noteworthy to observe that this affliction not only insinuated itself upon ancient Israel—but its most profound impact occurs within the Church; so much so, that the very Elect are plagued by its deception.

 

Talk Show Christianity ~ Ever wonder why Christian "talk shows" are full of "financial advice?"  Well, go figure:  That's how the Laodecians become "responsible stewards" in a world in which they feel more and more comfortable!


Make Not My Father’s House A House Of Merchandise!
~by Doug Krieger

Just when you thought that the depths of “evangelical ministries and churches” seeking after filthy lucre and the “mammon of unrighteousness”  could not get any more ostentatious—we’re hit with the recent LA Times articles on the financial excesses of the Trinity Broadcasting Network—the world’s largest evangelical programming network! ...Jesus, once again, must throw the modern-day money changers from the Temple!

 

Shrine of Micah  ~by Doug Krieger

The American MegaChurch is NOT a new phenomenon . . . its elaborating marketing techniques, purposefully mirrored (or "driven" ... whichever you prefer) after the American corporate model bespeaks of Israel's original quantum leap into apostasy when Micah implimented similar techniques involving money, fame, worldly marketing strategies and a whole host of pop mechanisms which dwarfed the rather shaby appeal of the "Tent of Meeting" pitched nearby in Ephriam.  You'll be shocked to discover the Tribe of Dan's downfall has everything to do with the "MegaChurch" of yesteryear!

 

 

 

Deception

 

Patriotic Armageddon... Can you hear me now? ~ by Doug Krieger (07/05)
This is an addendum to Chapter 28 of the Book: Antichrist and the Gog Magog War. The War in Iran began several months ago--but in earnest this August 2005, the world will know what is really going down! Iran's nuclear intentions have been known by the USA for some time--the election of an arch-Islamic radical as Iran's new president was the final straw.
 

 

Politics

 

Howard Dean's Big Fat Mouth  ~by Doug Krieger

The DNC's Chairman, Howard Dean, reflects a deep-seated disdain for "White Christianity's" apparent takeover of Republican politics. Babylon's "house divided"--where Greeks deride Romans--is endless.  Rest assured, The Empire will predictably prevail.  Check out the high drama dynamic being played out before the whole world.

 

Cut and Run . . .Of Politicos, Pop Stars, and Prophets By Doug Krieger

Talk of Democrats “Cut and Run” war policies, along with pop stars who have a rather discordant chorus of ditties out there—seems incoherent and rather preposterous, given the political climate for victory and the like. Democrats appear to have missed another opportunity to take control (June, 2006)—but time is not on either political side. And, for that matter, time is not favorable for Christians who wish to do the same, viz., RAPTURE, and leave the mess to the “Left Behind” Tribulation Saints and the Jews! Cut and Run—better take a gander at what happened to Elijah, real quick, before you take off to Canada to escape her “sins and plagues” - we do well, all 7,000 of us who have not bowed our knee to Baal, to follow Elijah from the Cave of Horeb back to face off Jezebel. . .
 

 

Irrational Geopolitical Exuberance of the Left  ~by Doug Krieger

Bush’s globetrotting to South Asia (India, Pakistan, etc.) the first week of March, 2006 puts the political Left into apoplectic seizure.  Why?  For one, the Commander-in-Chief has no intention of fulfilling their greatest joys:  The collapse of the modern era’s Commercial Empire, the USA.  No, American Empire is NOT declining; the dollar is NOT disintegrating as the world’s currency; America is NOT in seismic implosion—economically, politically, or for that matter, socio-religious disintegration.  Shame upon the Left for their irrational geopolitical exuberance; akin to “Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated!”  Wiser to look at the facts, juxtaposed to the hopeful but bordering on disingenuous thinking of the Left.

 

 Bush-Blair... Axis of Evangelicals ~ by Doug Krieger
Tony Blair, the Brits’ version of what we thought was Bill Clinton’s reflection—has undergone a steady metamorphosis into the image of George W. Bush.  The latest devolution of the once immensely popular Blair into his evangelical counterpart Bush involves divine intervention into the affairs of Middle Eastern wars—and telling the Brits “In the end, there is a judgment . . . if you believe in God, it’s made by God.”

 

 

The United States of Europe is a Joke  ~by Doug Krieger

 Ascendency of the United States of Europe as the "Revived Roman Empire" and ultimate base of a future Antichrist is finished!  Why?   For starters:  The total rejection of the European Union's Constitution by FRANCE!  Isn't it about time to wake up and smell the coffee, roses, or something dead?  The American New World Order System trumps all bases for a future Antichrist.  Sorry, Hal Lindsey, Tim LaHaye--the 11th Horn of Daniel is the elephant in the photo, not that silly little, ten-toed, Euro-Canary sitting on the behemoth!

 

The Green Cross ~  Mikhail Gorbachev and the New Age environmentalists have a lot in common.  For one, they both believe in the same god.  But, guess who else digs their "Green Cross" and is repulsed by the Cross of Christ?  Isn't it interesting that the New Age religion, and the political leaders who embrace it, affirm their new god with such religious zeal?  Don't think the Left doesn't have its religious streak.

 

Hitlers Positive Christianity…~by Doug Krieger (6/05)

The parallels seen in today's stalwart support given by millions of American conservative Christians in the current War on Terrorism and support drawn from Christianity in Nazi Germany in the early 1930s is NOT a quantum leap or conjecture--there is a frightful connection going on here between politics and religion; and, those who trivialize this phenomenon, could find themselves repeating the dastardly history of earth's most recent past!

 

Triumphal Christianity ~ Confused at the "quadrennial quagmire" (i.e., the Presidential election) . . . don't be:  The agenda of the so-called Christian Right is plain and simple. . . read on.

 

 

Michael Moore’s Jesus Land and the Moral Majority Scene II ~by Doug Krieger (11/04) 

 Leftists like Michael Moore view the new map of the USA and it looks like "Jesus Land" -- definitely a place to leave; so how can you "flee Babylon" when you're living in "Jesus Land?"  See a map of Michael Moore’s Jesus Land

 

Democratic Globalism  ~by Doug Krieger (7/04)

The United States of America is no longer hiding her claws—no rival or United Nations or allied opinion can resist this colossus that struts her stuff across the planet. The economic disintegration, and political demise of the former Soviet Union, established the sole super power upon the globe in 1991.  This hegemonic expression “found herself” the inheritor of all that exemplifies Western Civilization.

 

The Republican National Convention: How the Democrats lost the heartland of American Populism  ~by Doug Krieger  (8/04)

Liberal Democrats don’t get it.  America’s “book ends” don’t get it.  Kerry’s on a boat somewhere and will wait until next week and film it. Barbara Streisand has never even seen it Hunkering down in the South, the Mid-West, the West, in Middle America somewhere—well, you got any better ideas?  It reminds me of the train taking Kerry and Edwards to Colorado through Kansas this summer…a chat on division in America. This is a personal reflection on how Democrats lost middle America . . . not how the Republicans won it!

 

Why the Dems Can’t Stand Tom DeLay and Tim LaHaye,
Parts I & II
 ~by Doug Krieger

This series shows the parallel lives of two men – a politician and a preacher and the marriage between church and state.  The “RULES OF ENGAGEMENT” in “majority American politics” has unalterably shifted—but most of the Dems. have gone to Egypt and are in deNIAL.  DeLay/Bush are “representative” of numerous politicians (including recent “convert” Karl Rove, Bush’s political strategist par excellence) who have entered POWER RELIGION.

 

The Crusader vs. The Caliphate . . . The Bush Doctrine: 
Defeat the Radical Islamic Empire!
~by Doug Krieger  (10/05)

The "green menace" has replaced the "red menace" . . . and a green veil descends from the Pillars of Hercules in the Atlantic to the Indonesian Archipelago in the Pacific-A Radical Islamic Empire:  The Caliphate!  President George W. Bush has, at the National Endowment for Democracy, once and for all, defined the "Bush Doctrine" which has emerged from its post-Crusader-9/11 beginnings to its embellishments and democratic initiatives, including "religious freedom" in the Middle East.  Ours is a war against an implacable foe bent on unmitigated evil, unconscionable  fanaticism, murder, and deceit-"We will never back down, never give in, and never accept anything less than complete victory . . . there is no peace without victory . . . we will keep our nerve and we will win that victory!"

 

Kill the Infidels! From Cartoons to Conversion ~by Doug Krieger (08/06)

Common cause is discovered between European secularists and American crusaders against the evil doers when sacred freedoms of the Enlightenment—like freedom of the press, speech, and other sacred cows of Western democracies are desecrated.  What a geopolitical hoot is this!  Finally, the Americans and the Europeans have a common cause—a war against the INTOLERABLES.  The Danes, wouldn’t you know it, are the despicable infidels who took such desecration of Mohammed to heart and triggered both an Islamic outrage, as well as a consolidation of Western resolve to defeat the intolerant Islamofascists.

 

Wild Speculation...
Heading toward Annihilation!
~ by Doug Krieger (04/06)

It’s Easter, 2006, the denial of Seymour Hersh’s “The Iran Plans” by President Bush is done with spectacular verbosity:  WILD SPECULATION.  The US is NOT going to bomb Iran into the dark ages after all?  President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, tags the West’s denial of Iran’s nuclear ambitions an effort which would “cause an everlasting hatred in the hearts of Iranians.”  Meanwhile, Iran is holding anti-Zionist conferences—“Israel is heading toward annihilation” (Ahmadinejad) . . . while the US builds the world’s largest Embassy on the banks of the Tigris River!  The “prophetic tension” is unbelievable!

 

Apostle Peter wins as Jerusalem's first NP Mayor. . .
Nazarenes Trump Greco-Roman Traditionalists ~ by Doug Krieger (07/06)

Rewriting history is not my passion; however, given the Nazarene Party’s (NP) original knockout punch to the Greco-Roman Traditionalists (GRT) which set the Empire on its head (cir. 56 A.D.), I can do none else! A meaningless and somewhat contentious display (in the midst of all this religious involvement (by both the NP and the GRT) in the political square) by a group known as the Overcomers (OCs) was accused of vehemently protesting against the religio-political involvement of the NP. Oddly enough, the OC was renounced by both the NP and the GRT as anti-governmental—especially since most of the OC failed to identify the Emperor as a god-like (in A.D. 52 the Emperor had renounced direct divinity). All this, along with the GRT’s new “Strategy of Empowerment” to counteract the rise of the NP by running the OBAMAMUS-CLINTONIUS ticket in the next elections—the more things change, the more they stay the same! Meanwhile, the OC won’t stay silent and that’s really irritating the NP and GRT. The axis of political power (viz. NP v GRT) now entrenched throughout the Empire find common cause in their disgust of the OC. Some have even claimed that the OC is, in point of fact, a de facto party of SPIRITUAL ANARCHISTS—nonviolent, of course, but are so extremely libertarian in their demeanor that the Roman New World Order System simply cannot abide them much longer . . .

 


 

 

The Economy

 

 

     

Protecting the Global Economy  ~by Doug Krieger  (12/04)

Industry, and the so-called “Military-Industrial Complex” that President Eisenhower warned us before he left office—is very much alive and well.  An Imperial America from history would boggle the imagination—something is going on here and it’s time we all woke up to the reality of what has happened:  the American empire is for real!   What’s driving this commercial empire is pure, unadulterated greed!

 

 

 

Middle East Conflict

 

Judgment day at the U.N. ~by Doug Krieger (03/06)

Iran’s been referred to the UN Security Council:  Behold the final throes of world bureaucracy at its infinite ineptitude.  Folks, two to four weeks of sound and fury signifying nothing—and then all h-e-double toothpicks breaks out . . . somehow all this played out back in 2003—just change the “q” to an “n” and presto, Iraq = Iran, and you’ve won the game of world scrabble!

 

GOG-MAGOG - WORLD WAR III  ~by Doug Krieger (9/04)

The fuse for the Gog-Magog War is set.  The NATION OF ISLAM is, to Moslems, a “spiritual reality” – then it is time to say NO MORE.  And while the Great Falling Away from the Faith continues unabated, the World of Islam is "spiritually mobilizing" for the Gog Magog War!  So, having said all of this—we believe that the Lord's plan for His people is just as sure and predictable as the demise of the kingdoms of this earth.

The Gog-Magog Scenario  ~by Doug Krieger  (1/05)

Gog is on the rise . . . the “Road to Damascus” is being paved with new alliances. This thing’s unraveling . . . what does the Bible say about it?  Answer:  One whole bunch!  This series of articles is a MUST READ to stay on top of this . . . to know what’s coming down and when and what to do about it.  Life may be going on as “normal” (“as in the days of Noah”) but we’ve got news for you . . . THAT’S A MYTH—just ask the G.I.’s in the Persian Gulf! 

 

The Gog Magog War:  Hidden Treasures  ~by Doug Krieger  (2/05)

All "Islamic Hell" is about to break loose.  We're calling it just like IT IS!  Remember, it was the Ottoman Turks who put the Sunnis in control of Iraq OVER 500 YEARS AGO . . . now, the "upstart USA" comes in and turns Turkey’s little theater of operations upside down!  Alas!  The KING OF BABYLON had become a BEAST!  Watch closely as events unfold according to the prophetic Scripture.

 

Behold:  The Prince of Persia! Get Ready for War with Iran!
~
by Doug Krieger (07/05)

A witch’s brew:  The mixture of religion and politics.  That’s precisely what this article has done!  Scott Ritter’s analysis that the US is technically at war with Iran (as we speak), and that this can be validated by the same preparations and activity prior to the Coalition of the Willing’s incursion into Iraq in early 2003, is ominous and, unfortunately, overall trustworthy.  Our analysis confronts the majority opinion expressed by conservative Christians in the pursuit of the War on Terror against the “evil doers” . . . and why the “American Patriotic Church” is theologically resolute in its support for the Administration’s designs in the Middle East—the moral under girding in the Neo-Con implementation of Democratic Globalism is just about to be wildly tested, once again.

 

Non-Prophet Cartoons: Islam vs. the West ~by Doug Krieger (02/06)

What once was America’s War on Terror is fast becoming Europe’s War on Cultural Intolerance.  It is one thing for Bush to announce democracy’s extension into the Middle East as an expression of Western ideals—freedom, liberty, tolerance, ad nausea, ad infinitum—as a guise to buttress cheap oil prices and to further addict the world to the petrol-DOLLAR . . . it is quite another thing for Europe to rally its indifference, mediocrity and effete cultural pride to assail the Islamic hoards who, like the barbarians vs. the Roman Empire, now threaten to bring Europe to its effeminate knees and end her much-vaunted openness and age of tolerance!

 

Iran's day of infamy...
There's a Jackphant in the room!
~by Doug Krieger (03/06)

Historicists are quick to point out that saber rattling is a biggie between and amongst belligerents prior to the outbreak of hostilities—to say the least:  Witness Nazi Germany’s bombasts; and of late, the ever-outrageous remarks between Iran and the US-Israel Alliance.  That’s why when it comes to diatribes, there’s nothing more audacious than lambasting Iran et al at the annual AIPAC (American-Israel Public Affairs Committee) meeting in early March, 2006—especially with Iran doing her amalgam of saber rattling back at you and in your face.  Don’t worry about time running out—it already has!  Any sanity left between the two—including the Euro-Russian-Chinese counterweight to the US-Israeli juggernaut—is absurd . . . there you go again, and I thought Iraq would have been a wakeup call to geo-political reality.

 

East is East & West is West...
The Ultimate Armageddon
(04/06)
~by Doug Krieger

One of the most fascinating “prophetic imperatives” in Holy Writ is the conclusive Battle or Campaign of Armageddon.  It is here that East is pitted with West in a titanic struggle to the finish.  Frank Sesno’s Avoiding Armageddon, and now in March, 2006, We Were Warned – Tomorrow’s Oil Crisis, envisions a horrendous struggle for the “hidden riches” (i.e., oil) with a burgeoning China—a China already scouring the earth for black gold.  So Rudyard Kipling said so many years ago—“and never the twain shall meet”—but, alas, they shall, but then it will be too late!

 

The Elephant Roared and Brought forth a turd!!!
…A Case against Democratizing the Middle East
 
~by Doug Krieger (07/05

“Peace in the Middle East!” – how sweet to our ears is this elusive possibility.  Inhibiting all such prospects for lasting peace in the region is the outburst of nascent Islamism in its truest form—countered by the West’s drive to “democratize” Islamic states.  Yes, all this spurred on by an alliance between a resurgent Patriotic Church and the neocons driving American foreign policy.  To deny the religious components throughout the debate is to deny the past two thousand years of recorded history—or, for that matter, since history’s birth!  For all the great ballyhoo greeting the latest flurry of peace initiatives (i.e., “The Elephant Roared”)—there abides angst within the world’s soul that, given the heart of man, the prospects for peace are stymied—if you would: politically constipated!  Your read of this will provide a completely different perspective than what you normally find—you do well to consider what Dr. Aaron C. Miller, president of Seeds for Peace, calls “on the ground” realities when formulating peace policy in the Middle East!

 

 

 

 

America as Babylon

 

The Real Babylon of the "Last Days"  ~by Doug Krieger  (10/04)

America’s presence in Iraq is revealed as the real Babylon of the last days.  A study of Daniel chapters 7-12 is done and the identity of the Antichrist is discussed at length.  Suffice it to say—Antichrist is NOT Jewish as scores of fundamentalist evangelical Premillenarians claim:  He is Greco-Roman, the leader of Western Civilization whose immediate kingdom dominates the other 10 Kingdoms of the end times!

Bush's ports, Iran's Bourse & Messianic Bombings ~ By Doug Krieger (02/06)

This last week of February 2006 saw a national security boondoggle over the UAE-US port takeover; the sacred Shiite Al-Askari Shrine (where the “Hidden Imam” or Moslem Mahdi-Messiah abides) was blown up; and, the Iran-Hamas Financial Alliance was sealed—what a difference a week makes!  Let us probe the significance of these interrelated sorties—for each plays an integral part in the apocalyptic drama unfolding before our eyes . . .

 

World Cup vs. World War?…
How the Romans Keep the Masses Entertained ~ By Doug Krieger

The World Cup of Soccer and Zinedine Zidane’s head butt of Italian Marco Materazzi presents one of earth’s greatest fetes of entertainment—classic of Roman (now that the Italians have won) Coliseum-style extravaganzas.  Yes, the stuff that keeps the masses utterly distracted, while the international globalists and corptocracies continue to heap up riches off the backs of the impoverished of the earth—how entertaining!  This article examines how the so-called “social issues” are akin to the “Roman Games” which distract—especially on the left-right talk shows, all the while the real contestants make off with the golden trophies.

 

 

 

The American Empire

Of Greeks and Romans  ~by Doug Krieger  (11/04)

Read about the parallels between militaristic, religious Rome (Pax Romana) vs. secular, effeminate Greece and militaristic, and religious United States (Pax Americana) vs. secular, godless United States culture elites. 

 

Moving to Canada is a Joke ~by Doug Krieger  (9/05)

NorthCom, NORAD, NATO--all were and are attempts at integrating USA-Canadian and now Mexican militaries.  NorthCom was the concoction of 9/11.  NAFTA, CAFTA, and eventually FTAA do the same economically for all of North America.  The integration of Canada and Mexico with the USA is now a foregone conclusion--it is the expression passion of the Council on Foreign Relations and her sister organizations in Canada and Mexico--so, it's absurd to think by moving to Canada one can escape the tentacles of Babylon the Great; utter nonsense indeed!  So, just another reason why saying the Pledge of Alliance is a farce . . . "And to the Republic for which it stood."

 

 

 

Israel

 

“We will not permit the Devil to govern our destiny”
- Shimon Peres, Israel’s Deputy Prime Minister
~by Doug Krieger

The Arab-Israeli War—now in its sixth major protrusion (Summer, 2006)—presents a cast of nations each calling the other THE DEVIL, AXIS OF EVIL, THE GREAT SATAN, LITTLE SATAN, AND THE MIDDLE-SIZE SATAN.  Never have wars and rumors of wars ever been fought with a more “satanic tone.”  Rest assured, believer or non, the Evil One lurks beneath the rise of the Prince of Persia, the Prince of Grecia, and the Willful King, who shall annihilate many.  Yes, the cast of nation-characters are so enumerated and described in this missive; however, behind them all—yes, ALL, there is the Master of Deceit, manipulating the nations, like marionettes, of this evil cosmos.

 

Israel must be wiped off the map...
Origins of Treasongate
~by Doug Krieger (11/05)

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran, this week (end of October, 2005) boldly declared that Israel should be "wiped off the map!"  Next, Syria's President Bashir al-Assad's brother and brother-in-law have been implicated in the assassination of Lebanon's former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.  Indeed, President Bush declared both Syria and Iran the AXIS OF EVIL and blatantly and repeatedly declares that we can no longer tolerate their governments-all options, as Condi Rice states, are "on the table."  Meanwhile, "treasongate" runs rampant.  Is this "thing" ever going to end?  How did it get started and when will the Syrian, then the Iranian, cards drop?  It's going to get real difficult, if not impossible, to sit this one out-you're going to have to take a side, sooner or later!  That's what many American Jews and Christians have had to do-read the rest of the story . . . then face the valley of your decision, you've got lots of company.
 

 

Israel and the Church as the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11 and Daniel 12 ~by Doug Krieger (05/05)

 At last, a theological treatise on the identification of the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11 and Daniel 12.  Initially, this "paper" was submitted to the Judeo-Christian Conference on the "Messiah" scheduled to be held in Virginia Beach, VA (cir. 2005).  The paper is not easy reading, but solid theology which demands a reappraisal of how an "end of days" engagement and/or "testimony" from both evangelical and Jewish communities shall manifest itself before the "heavens and the earth" at the "end of days."

 

Triumphant Testimony  ~by Doug Krieger  (11/04)

The entire thrust of the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ--virtually in every single chapter of that book--speaks of the TRIUMPHANT TESTIMONY of God's people--both the Church and Israel--to come forward throughout our history and most definitely at the close of this age.  It is this "testimony" that commends our faith and establishes us in His grace.  The word "testimony" in the Greek comes from the same root word we interpret into English as MARTYR.

 

The Glories that should follow ~by Doug Krieger (05/05) 

A letter sent to Dr. Spargimino at Southwest Radio Church regarding a conversation with Dr. Barry Leventhal regarding the "Church in Prophecy" relative to Peter's insights regarding "The glories that would follow."  If the "sufferings of Christ" were foretold, is not the "glory in the Church" likewise foreseen?

 

The Testimony of Jesus  ~by Doug Krieger  (11/04)

To deny one’s self means to identify with the Lord Jesus in His testimony—His death—His overcoming life.  The very testimony of Jesus must become our testimony. Links to Internet sites that discuss current Christians who are being persecuted and killed for their testimony. 

 

Flee or Testify? ~ by Dene McGriff  (11/04)

We are not called to flee, but to testify. The Christian Church along with Israel is called upon to testify in the great city for the Lord during the last three and a half years of the Great Tribulation. 

 

Historicists and Futurists Must Unite ~by Doug Krieger (9/05)

There are several major schools of Bible prophecy which dominate Biblicists today--futurism (akin to the "Left Behind" series) and historicism (most Preterists and vast segments of evangelicalism which affirm that the Antichrist is the Holy See, the Papacy in its entirety).  Although Preterists (who believe most Bible prophecy was fulfilled in the Revelation by 100 A.D. are prevalent amongst evangelicals, their erstwhile historicists who manage to differentiate a wide variety of historical happenings throughout the Church Age as being fulfilled (as well, but mostly after 100 A.D. to the present), are in stiff "eschatological competition" with futurists who hold to some of the evolving historicist methodology but differ in that the prophetic time table is generously weighted to the "yet future."  Notwithstanding these difference, events have overtaken us--it is time for an "eschatological reassessment"--we must unite, for the time is short and sooner, more than later, we will all be called to testify!

 

Bush's bold peace initiative... Israel after Sharon (1-06) ~ By Doug Krieger

The colossus of Israel’s Center-Right is no more. Sharon’s cerebral hemorrhage, induced coma, and declared departure from Israel’s political life have created a grave and vacuous ability for Israel to carry on viable negotiations with either the Palestinians or other belligerents. Isn’t it time for someone to take charge of the “peace process” in Israel—but who? Therein lies the rub . . . President Bush is about to make his bold move to “secure the peace” – even more so, to secure the elusive “comprehensive peace settlement that never seems to come.” You’re watching leadership in action here—you’d be surprised how this will play out in he months ahead. Yep—that little Road Map to Peace is on the table—once again!


 

 

 

Antichrist/Beast

 

US-ISRAEL STRATEGIC ALLIANCE

 

Part 1 - Your Covenant with Death  ~by Doug Krieger (12/05)

If Israel were attacked, it would be the same as an attack on the USA—this is the essence of a DEFENSE PACT between Israel and the USA.  Israel’s security would be underwritten by the United States of America; and, the commencement of that ultimate security—the quest of numerous US Presidents and Israeli leaders—would at last be actualized.  Now, in Washington, D.C., for the first time since 2002, Israeli and American diplomats and military personnel earnestly endeavor to address Iran’s threat of WMD, and the mutual persistence of terror against both nations (December 2005).  What awful contemplation:  Is this the final deception spoken of by Daniel the Prophet and Isaiah:  Your Covenant with Death – Your Agreement with Hell?

 

Part 2 - He will confirm a covenant with many  ~by Doug Krieger (12/05)

“Strategic Dialogue” talks between the U.S. and Israel—were commenced in earnest at the end of November, 2005 (U.S. State Dept. Bulletin).  These “talks” are propelled to their inevitable conclusion (i.e., the U.S.-ISRAEL DEFENSE PACT/TREATY) by Iran’s preposterous charges this past week:  No Jewish Holocaust under Hitler; Israel is a “Zionist-European Tumor” which, ipso facto, should be excised from the Middle East and transplanted into Germany-Austria; and, “no, we’re not making a Weapon of Mass Destruction, even though ‘Israel must be wiped off the map!

 

Part 3 - He will also invade the beautiful land  ~by Doug Krieger (01/06)

The U.S.-Israel Strategic Alliance has reached critical mass—President Bush’s “Strategy for Victory” inevitably demands the special relationship’s strategic imperative:  The U.S.-ISRAEL DEFENSE PACT.  The President, more than any other Chief Executive, since Truman recognized the Jewish State in 1948, is flaunting the U.S.-Israel “pact” to wipe out terrorism.  The Neocon-Evangelical-Zionist Alliance cries out:  An attack on Israel is an attack on the USA!  Moslems see him as the modern-day Crusader-Invader whose dogged determination is religiously inspired . . . just as theirs is a Jihad against the infidels!   His poll numbers rapidly climb (January 1, 2006)—as the Commander-in-Chief decries the heretics of Islam, identifies the likes of Osama bin Laden and Abu Musab al Zarkawi with Hitler and Stalin, and demands nothing less than “complete victory” over the enemies of freedom.  Just as Nazism and Communism were defeated—we must, we shall, we will win this war against these evil doers—SO HELP US GOD!

 

Part 4 - The Prince of the Covenant  ~ by Doug Krieger (01/06)

The U.S.-Israel Strategic Alliance—no matter what setbacks—is alive, well and proceeding to its logical conclusion:  The U.S.-Israel Defense Pact. Iran’s determination to resuscitate its nuclear program; the Sharon “X-Factor”—i.e., Israel after Sharon; and the incessant insurgency in Iraq, along with increasing agitation from Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah and other belligerents, have all converged to create the perfect geopolitical storm.  We await the unprecedented admission that Israel and the USA will no longer regard as politically embarrassing nor strategically ill-advised vis-à-vis the Arab world to openly declare a comprehensive “peace accord” guaranteeing Israel’s security—once and for all!

 

 

Resistance is Futile
I saw a Beast Rising up out of the Sea
~by Doug Krieger (03/06)

 

US National Security Advisor, Stephen J. Hadley, releases the “National Security Strategy of the United States” on March 16, 2006—heralding America’s Weltanschauung for the Twenty-First Century.  Now, the cry goes up for EFFECTIVE DEMOCRACIES—accomplished by the formalization of the 2002 Bush Doctrine of unilateral, pre-emptive wars of national interest.  As in Star Treks’ BORG:  Resistance—be it Sino-Russia, Syrian-Iranian, and now Latin American—is futile!

 

 

Adolph Hitler And The Theocratic State--A Lesson on
 the Christian Right
 ~by Doug Krieger  (9/04)

To understand the appeal, the absolute, mesmerizing, and intoxicating drive behind Hitler's success, one must go beyond the inequities of the Versailles Treaty and delve into the mysterious association that Herr Hitler placed upon the Christian religion. Don't think that Adolph was way off into some cultic, overtly demonic world of fantasy and influence.  He both understood the need to mobilize the masses and the religion that alone could sway their fidelity to his cause.

 

The Antichrist is Coming   ~by Doug Krieger  (11/04)

The denial that Jesus Christ is "come in the flesh" is, according to John's First Epistle, definitely the manifestation of the "spirit of antichrist."  "Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ?  He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son" (I John 2:22).  Yet, today, prior to the Lord's Second Advent, that same spirit of Antichrist--who could not defeat Him in His First Coming--seeks to spread a new and foreboding heresy:  There is no Antichrist--THE Antichrist will not come!    

 

 

 

Reflections on the Antichrist

 

The Antichrist is not a Jew, the Pope, Islam nor a joke
(Part I)
~
by Doug Krieger (02/06)

 

The Antichrist is not a Jew!  Don’t listen to Jerry Falwell, Barbara Aho, Arthur W Pink, J. N. Darby, ancient Catholic Church teaching, and, in particular, Radical Islam—virtually all embrace the notion Antichrist is a Jew, and, worse yet, evangelicals like Aho announce his discovery using the utterly discredited Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion as their New Age compass; the same document disseminated by the Theosophical Society of Madame Blavatsky that inspired the Czar, Hitler and today’s Arabic-Moslem TV of Egypt!

 

 

The Antichrist is not a Jew, the Pope, or a Joke
Part II 
(04/06)
~by Doug Krieger. 

 

Part II in the series of Antichrist’s identity lingers on the discussion of:  The Antichrist is NOT A JEW.  The early church, Islam, and even evangelical Christianity have targeted the Antichrist as a Jew (Jerry Falwell’s gaff being one of the latest).  But the origins of a latter day Jewish Antichrist have a fascination that is apparently rooted in Scripture—so they say, and so they distort!  Islam’s Dajjal (Antichrist) will be killed just outside of Israel’s Lod Airport!  The Tribe of Dan is the early Church father Hippolytus’ most likely receptacle of Antichrist’s origins . . . and, so it goes . . . you’ll understand why there’s such hatred toward the Jew by studying how the other monotheistic religions incriminate the most ancient of their threesome—and why they’re all wet!

 

 

The Antichrist is not the Pope... A System, nor Totality of Babylon the Great!  Part III ~by Doug Krieger (04/06)

 

The Papacy is the Antichrist—the Pope is the Antichrist!  This was, and still is in many parts the cry of the Protestant Reformation. The Holy See may be many things, including a False Prophet—but it is NOT the Antichrist.  The notion that Antichrist is a “system” – not a person yet future – is an erroneous concept which never was the prophetic belief of the Early Church—no historic revisionism can prove otherwise.  Roman Catholic alleged attempts to deflect Protestant wrath away from the Holy See is also unfounded—though it appears some have thought it so.  Evangelicals, like Dave Hunt, see the Roman Church as the sum and substance of Babylon the Great—he too is off the map

 

 

Islam is not the Antichrist  - Part IV ~by Doug Krieger.  (04/06)

Islam is not the Antichrist nor the system of Antichrist—as much as some wish it were! The coming Antichrist is not domiciled in Islam. Notwithstanding, ask Israel who’s the modern-day Haman, and they’ll tell you: Islam is the Antichrist! The history of the Church, now Israel (and once again the “Crusader Church”) attests to Islam as the Antichrist. This article traces the history of this “doctrine” and its erroneous conclusions—and why today’s Jewish-Christian alliance is determined to ascribe the title of “Antichrist” to the religion of Islam! “The People of the Book” vs. Mohammed is His Prophet—THIS is today’s conflict!

 

Antichrist is not a New Age Joke  Part V ~
