The Plain Truth

I KNEW A commentary by Bob Barney

By Bob Barney - The Plain Truth.com

When Edward Snowden came forward to identify himself as the leaker of the National Security Agency spying programs, politicians and the media alike, from left to right have been working overtime to discredit the man who some actually view as a hero for revealing crucial information the government had kept secret. Apparently, if you think hiding information about spying on Americans is new, and that it took some 29 year-old nobody to reveal these secrets, then you are a part of the great silent majority of Americans who have kept themselves in the dark. The real problem is not that our government is spying on us, it is that this has been known to anyone with a micron of a brain since the 1970's! I am amazed at the fact that I could be Edward Snowden- and have never worked for the NSA, CIA or the United States Government!  In fact, I know of many more secrets than he has revealed, and have known many of them since the 1970's!

For example: I knew all of this (with links to the stories):

In the 1970's I knew that:

1   Kennedy had the President of South Vietnam assassinated because he was becoming a national patriot. President Johnson believed what Richard Nixon always knew: that the Kennedy White House did not merely tolerate or encourage the murder of Ngo Dinh Diem, but organized and executed it because he was turning against USA policies that would eventually end up in the slaughter of some 60,000 young American drafted, and tens of thousands more maimed for life! It's part of the record. I know it from reading, not from working for Uncle Sam. Three weeks later, Kennedy fulfilled Jesus' prophecy: “Those who live by the sword, will die by the sword” when he himself was gunned down in Dallas. Oh, by the way, anyone with a brain that can connect three dots knows what and who was behind that....

2   Daniel Ellsberg, the original Edward Snowden of his day released the Pentagon Papers, papers that contain a history of the U.S. role in Indochina from World War II until May 1968 and that were commissioned in 1967 by U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara. In them it was revealed that the Harry S. Truman administration gave military aid to France in its colonial war against the communist-led Viet Minh, thus directly involving the United States in Vietnam; that in 1954 Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower decided to prevent a communist takeover of South Vietnam and to undermine the new communist regime of North Vietnam; that Pres. John F. Kennedy transformed the policy of “limited-risk gamble” that he had inherited into a policy of “broad commitment”; that Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson intensified covert warfare against North Vietnam and began planning to wage overt war in 1964, a full year before the depth of U.S. involvement was publicly revealed; and that Johnson ordered the bombing of North Vietnam in 1965 despite the judgment of the U.S. intelligence community that it would not cause the North Vietnamese to cease their support of the Viet Cong insurgency in South Vietnam. The release of the Pentagon Papers stirred nationwide and, indeed, international controversy because it occurred after several years of growing dissent over the legal and moral justification of intensifying U.S. actions in Vietnam. The disclosures and their continued publication despite top-secret classification were embarrassing to the administration of Pres. Richard M. Nixon, who was preparing to seek reelection in 1972. So distressing were these revelations that Nixon authorized unlawful efforts to discredit Ellsberg, efforts that came to light during the investigation of the Watergate Scandal. Sound familiar???? I knew this and no, I didn't work for the Government as Edward Snowden!

 

3   Three Days of the Condor, is a 1975 American political thriller film directed by Sydney Pollack and starring Robert Redford. The film is about a bookish CIA researcher who comes back from lunch and discovers all his co-workers dead, and must outwit those responsible until he figures out whom he can really trust. The film addresses the perceived moral ambiguity of the actions of elements within the United States government during the early 1970s. It was all about how the CIA had people reading everything, that was ever published, snooping into the minds of terrorists, communist and arab oil sheiks! The film exposed a view that we were going to be fighting a war in the Middle East to get oil, fully 30 years before King George the II did exactly that in Iraq. The film ends with another quirk. The Robert Redford character (think of Snowden) goes back to New York City and meets the CIA boss on a busy street. The CIA boss defends the oil fields plan, claiming that there will be a day in which oil shortages will cause a major economic crisis for the country. And when that day comes, Americans will want the government to use any means necessary to obtain the oil. Turner (Redford) says he has told the press "a story" (they are standing outside The New York Times office), but Higgins (CIA boss) questions Turner's assurances that the story will be printed, “what if they won't print it?” He asks. After a brief dialogue, an anxious Turner walks away. Today we are seeing what happens when most of the Obama controlled media won't report on what whistle blowers are saying – or calling them traitors long before any trial is held!

 

4 After both the 1974 and 1979 oil shortages, I knew that the shortages were contrived by our government. At the time nobody believed it, but I did. I can add. 1+1 = 2. Most think it = 3 or more! You see those who stayed informed knew that boats laden with oil were not allowed to unload the oil, and were parked outside US ports as people waited in line for gas! Why? Overlooked by most scholars, it was Nixon and Kissinger idea to engineer the rise in oil prices between 1969 and 1972 to enable Saudi Arabia and Iran to purchase the necessary military hardware to serve as guardians of the Gulf.

I was good friends at the time with someone in the gas business who told me this long before I read about it. And no, I didn't work for the Government as Edward Snowden did, to know it!

 

5 George Bush's father Prescott was a Nazi, who was actually Adolf Hitler's American banker! The central charge that Prescott Bush aided Hitler is a fact. In 1942, under the Trading With the Enemy Act, the U.S. government seized several companies in which he had an interest. Prescott at the time was an investment banker with Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH), which had funneled U.S. capital into Germany during the 1920s and '30s. Among the seized companies was the Union Banking Corporation (UBC) of New York, which was controlled by German industrialist Fritz Thyssen. Thyssen had been an early financier of the Nazi party — in fact, in 1941 he published a book entitled I Paid Hitler. Ergo, Prescott helped finance the Nazis. In fact some of the most distinguished names in American business had investments or subsidiaries in prewar Germany, including Standard Oil, General Motors and Henry Ford. When did I know this? I worked for a man who fought in WWII under Patton, his name was Ed.   Many times during our working day, Ed would recite to me how, in World War II,  the allies bombed everything site in towns and cities all over Germany. He said we bombed churches, hospitals, schools and yes houses. We did this in order to break the back of Germany and most importantly the German civilian. Ed recalled how shocked he was one he saw one building we never bombed. My friend was shocked to see that the FORD PLANT was completely undamaged! Every building around it including schools were leved to the ground, but someohow we "missed" the Ford plant!  Yes, not a shingle was blown of the roof: Here is a photo of the plant back in operation 1 DAY AFTER THE WAR ENDED:

In the 1980's I Knew:

1 That every phone call was recorded in America, and listened to by computers. This was told to my brother, by someone he went to school with the was very high up in the government. This was 1983-- 30 years before Snowden. In a CNN interview about the Boston Bombings investigations, a former FBI counterterrorism agent admitted a startling (yet unsurprising) fact: “all digital communications” are recorded and stored. All of them. All phone calls, all e-mails and all social media interactions. According to him, there is definitely a way of retracing and listening to any phone call made on US soil. While most Americans ignore or deny this reality, the shaping of the USA into a heavily monitored police state is complete. Here is part of the CNN interview. He admitted this was going on since the 1980's! How did I know....

 

2 I also knew that the USA recorded everything was said in the air between airplanes. Remember Korean flight 007? Yes, folks, that was the flight #, YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP ANY BETTER than reality! On September 1, 1983, Korean Airlines (KAL) flight 007 was on the last leg of a flight from New York City to Seoul, with a stopover in Anchorage, Alaska. The flight was of of many Korean airliners used as “spy” planes, that would have cameras mounted on their noses to take pictures of the USSR in fly overs. As 007 approached its final destination, the plane began to veer far off its normal course. In just a short time, the plane flew into Russian airspace and crossed over the Kamchatka Peninsula, where some top-secret Soviet military installations were known to be located. The Soviets sent two fighters to intercept the plane. According to tapes of the conversations between the fighter pilots and Soviet ground control, the fighters quickly located the KAL flight and tried to make contact with the passenger jet. Failing to receive a response, one of the fighters fired a heat-seeking missile. KAL 007 was hit and plummeted into the Sea of Japan. All 269 people on board were killed. Much to the shock of the world (and his own CIA) Reagan decided to play the actual recordings of the attack at the UN! Yes, not only did we know it was happening in real time, we had it recorded! Jeane Kirkpatrick, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and at the behest of Reagan, placed a large television in the Security Council and played the recorded tapes of the fighter pilots and ground control for the world to hear:

"I see it, visually and on radar . . . The A.N.O. [air navigational lights] are burning. The [strobe] light is flashing . . . What are instructions? . . . I'm dropping back. Now I will try a rocket . . . I am closing on the target . . . I have executed the launch. The target is destroyed."

The Soviet delegation had their backs turned towards the screen even as they repeated the Tass statement on the loss of the plane. Links: here and here (from 1984 Hustler mag with no centerfold shown!)

I knew this in 1983 And no, I didn't work for the Government as Edward Snowden!

 

3 REX and Civilian Concentration Camps. Back in the 1980's, the biggest scandal of the day was the “Iran/Contra” hearings on Capital Hill. I listened and watched them all. I am a political junkie. It is what I went to college for. I heard testimony about another plan my brother had told me about in 1983. That we had plans from the 1960's for civilian concentration camps in case marshall law was to be issued. Though not put into effect, Rex 84 (Readiness Exercise 1984), a test by the United States federal government (including FEMA) to detain large numbers of U.S. citizens in case of massive civil unrest or national emergency. This was a revival of the similar 1960s-era Operation Garden Plot, adjusted from a context then of inner-city unrest to a likely mass opposition to wider war in Central America in the 1980s. A similar plan is on the books post-9/11, with hundreds of millions of dollars earmarked for Halliburton to build the processing facilities in the event of a "national ermergency."

Revelations about Rex 84 came out in the Iran-Contra hearings (1987), a congressional investigation into Reagan's illegal use of power to fund a war in Central America that Congress had specifically removed from the budget so as to eliminate U.S. involvement in the war. The central constitutional question was lost in the media spin, as were ancillary revelations of CIA collusion in drug smuggling, arms deals with Iran that pre-dated the supposed justification (hostages in Lebanon), CIA banking and money laundering schemes, and active support for mass death squads and torture. I knew this is 1988: And no, I didn't work for the Government as Edward Snowden!

 

4 In a 1998 article, Daniel Tsang revealed  “Because of me, the Central Intelligence Agency has had to concede it does spy on Americans. Just last month, the agency had to remove a denial posted on its Web site that it doesn't do this. For it kept a file on me throughout the 1980s and '90s--despite a law against political spying on Americans.

"Just before Christmas, the CIA revised its Web site. The new version says the CIA can keep files on Americans if they are suspected of espionage or international terrorism.

"But I am no spy or terrorist. The CIA conceded as much by settling my lawsuit, paying my lawyers some $ 46,000 and promising to expunge my file and never spy on my political activities in the future. But the CIA didn't just compile a dossier on me. It turned it over to a foreign government. Is that standard operating procedure, turning over information on Americans whenever a foreign government asks? After all, on its new Web site, the CIA admits it "works with friendly foreign governments and shares pertinent information.

"The CIA's original Web site advised browsers to use the U.S. Privacy Act to confirm that the CIA does not keep files on us. But that recommendation no longer appears. I used the Privacy Act to request my file, but the CIA long refused to release it, claiming "national security." Only when I got the Center for National Security Studies and the American Civil Liberties Union involved in a lawsuit against the CIA did I get my file, though many sections were still blacked out.

"For the past decade, I've lived a somewhat Kafkaesque life. When friends and UC Irvine colleagues heard about my CIA file, some wondered if they should be seen talking with me. I wondered if I was becoming paranoid. I wondered whether phone calls on my cordless phone were being intercepted: Every time I heard some static on the phone, I got nervous, though I know sophisticated spycraft would leave no traces.

"Worse was when I traveled abroad: I never knew if the CIA had sent instructions to bar me from entering a particular country. On my last visit to Taiwan, I got in but, at the airport departure gate, an immigration official wouldn't let me board my plane home until I produced my California driver's license. My newly minted--and renewed--U.S. passport was not good enough.

"My lawyers discovered that the CIA actually doesn't follow the Privacy Act's ban on collecting information on Americans' activities protected by the 1st Amendment. Congress enacted that ban in the wake of widespread domestic spying during the Vietnam War. It is time for Congress to act again to ensure the act is not being eviscerated today." Link

OH, BY THE WAY- the man was a homosexual activist. A LEFTY Liberal... Not a member of the Tea Party. I knew this this at the time, and NO, I didn't work for the Government as Edward Snowden!

 

The 1990's

Waco – I learned in the 1990's that not only was all telephone calls listened to (I knew this since 1983), but that the government could ease-drop in on any conversation in your home at any time without a warrant. This first came to light during the WACO SEIGE. From the New York Times: “Over the eavesdropping device, someone inside the compound was heard saying, "Don't shoot until the very last minute."

Hearing that, a Federal official in Washington wondered aloud if the cult was expecting a fierce "banzai" raid.

Another voice, believed to be that of David Koresh, was heard on the eavesdropping device saying, "Stay low, stay ready and loaded."”

Yes, the government can listen to whatever you say at home in any conversation. The FBI can listen to everything you say, even when the cell phone is turned off. A recent court ruling in a case against the Genovese crime family revealed that the FBI has the ability from a remote location to activate a cell phone and turn its microphone into a listening device that transmits to an FBI listening post, a method known as a "roving bug." I've know that since 1993! And no, I didn't work for the Government as Edward Snowden!

 

What really happened on 9-11?

Conspiracy theorists will not like what I have to say here, but what really happened on 9-11 was not some big time NSA-Israeli plot to cause us to go to war. The Plain Truth is that there is a much easier explanation. Look back to history, and one can conclude that history repeated just itself on 9-11. The original historical evidence happened on 12-7-41! Yes PEARL HARBOR. Reports that are known today prove that America knew of the Japanese plans to attack Pearl Harbor. We had broke the Japanese code! So why didn't we stop the attack? The simple explanation is Hubris! Roosevelt needed Japan to attack us, but thought the Japs were not able to inflict much damage. Let them bomb a few buildings and ships, and then declare war. We were expected a small operation, not a large one. We got caught being stupid. This is what happened on 9-11, and the recent BOSTON BOMBINGS! We knew both were going to happen. Heck, we even sent NAVY SEALS to Boston during the marathon!

 

And yes we knew about planes being flown into buildings.  Condoleezza Rice testified that she never knew about these plans, although she had a paper sitting on her desk before 9-11 from the NSA and CIA, it was Called, “HOW TERRORIST PLAN TO FLY AIRPLANES INTO BUILDINGS.” She wasn't in on the planning as conspiratists claim, she was just “out to lunch” mentally, like her boss, George Bush and the rest of the Bush Administration. What is so scary about all of this stuff is that our leaders, who have all these spying capabilities are themselves mental morons, EOE's and ex-drug addicts! These are not the type of people you want to have these powers. Today, we don't only have a former drug user as president (as Clinton and Bush were) we have a drug pusher, street thug sitting in the Oval Office – a ironic twist of the Eddie Murphy “Trading Places” movie, where an incompetent black street thug is made into a Wall Street superstar over a $1.00 bet! Did Soros bet Koch a buck over Obama? It appears so.

Donald Rumsfeld all but admitted to this scenario of mine by charging that the Obama Administration did the same thing with the Boston Marathon bombing.  He said, “all the signs were there, they just got caught sleeping.”  Personal experience, perhaps? I think so.

Yes, I have known everything that we have “learned” from Edward Snowden for 20-30 years and I have never worked for the NSA or CIA! So I ask this, I am also a traitor for knowing what has been written about and discussed for the last 40 years? Is sharing knowledge a treasonous crime? I just think that our leaders, those evil people trying to force us into a ONE WORLD SATAN RUN SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT are just worried that the dumb Americans may be waking up and educating themselves. I hope and pray that this is so, but unfortunately I know The Plain Truth, and in the short run, things are not going to be pretty. In the long run, there is a God and you can discover for yourself what and exactly WHO is that God. Everything happening today was forewarned thousands of years ago!

Questions we should force our leaders to answer

United States Declaration of Independence (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

By Bob Barney- The Plain Truth.com

I have a simple question that I hope that one day we would force every single law maker, government executive and judge to answer in writing. I think that it should be required every year in order for these persons to hold public office. I would want them IN THEIR OWN WORDS state why the American Colonists declared war on their own government. I would require these officials to state openly and publicly:

1. What were the direct causes of the war

2. Was their action of taking arms against their own government justified, or where they actually criminals that should have been arrested and imprisoned or executed for treason. And if the latter is the opinion of the official's writing the response, should we nullify the Declaration of Independence and declare the United States as a criminal government.

3. If, as I expect, virtually no one takes this position, that the USA is an illegal criminal government, then they should have to address the items in the Declaration as how they apply today to the laws that they are passing and why Americans would not have the right to take arms against them! After all, those colonialist who signed the Declaration, declared it LAWFUL TO KILL THEIR OWN COUNTRYMEN in what was actually our first Civil War!

4. What will it take for it to be legal for AMERICANS TO TAKE ARMS against their own Government?

Read for yourselves and you decide. Remember this point, the vast majority (the Gallop poll of the day) was against a war with England and opposed to these “patriots” we hold so dear today! Historians have estimated that approximately 40 to 45 percent of the colonists supported the rebellion, while 15 to 20 percent remained loyal to the Crown. The rest attempted to remain neutral and kept a low profile.

 

For the sake of those who do not understand the original language of the Declaration, I have enclosed TWO COPIES. A Modern English version (that I feel will truly be eye-opening) and of course the original version..... YOU DECIDE – can you answer my questions above, and if you can, what will it take for it to be legal for AMERICANS TO TAKE ARMS against their own Government?

The Declaration of Independence in Modern English

The Declaration of Independence was written in such a way that many modern readers today might have a difficult time discerning what the true meaning is behind it. The Declaration of Independence in Modern English still carries the same meaning, but would sound a little differently. Let’s take a look at the Declaration of Independence and re-word it so that those modern English readers could read and understand it.

The Declaration of Independence in Modern English

Sometimes in the course of certain events there comes a time when a certain group feels the need to dissolve the political bands that have connected them with another, or in other words split up. We believe that God has entitled us to pursue this course and here are the reasons why we feel this way.

As people that have founded this land we believe certain truths and those should not be questioned: we believe that everyone is created equal in the sight of God; God has given us certain rights; the rights of each person need to be respected and cannot be taken from them. We believe in the right to Life; the right to Liberty; and the right to pursue our own happiness. We also believe that governments are formed to protect these certain rights and that the power of the government comes from the power of the people.

We also believe that if the government fails to protect the rights of its people that they people have the right to change the government. The government can be totally changed if it needs to be. This happens so that everyone can be happy and safe.

Changing the government is no joking matter because sometimes things have been the way they are for a long time. Even though sometimes people continue to put up with government that don’t operate correctly it doesn’t make it right and changes still need to be made. It is the duty of the people to make sure that the government treats the people fairly and civilly.

We, those who have been putting up with an inoperable government have been patient and suffered through a lot of things without complaining, but it is our duty to make the needed changes. It is evident that King George III who is our ruler right now, that he wants to take all power away from the people and will not listen to our leaders. Here is the proof for everyone to see:

We have been patient, suffering a long time without complaining. Now it is our duty to make changes. This King of Great Britain is King George III. He is our present ruler, and he wants to become even stronger. He has already tried to rule us completely, without listening to what our American leaders have to say. And we have proof of such evils. Here are the facts for the whole world to see:

The King has gone a little crazy. He has refused to sign laws that our leaders have written. These are pretty important laws.

The King has taken control of the Judges in our court system. Judges cannot be fair if someone else is controlling their jobs and how much money they make.

The King has also ignored the laws of our American government. He has created his own set of laws and now feels that he has a right to force us to give food and shelter to British soldiers, stop us from trading with the rest of the world, and has set up too many taxes for us that we have no choice in paying. He also wants to punish people without a fair trial and jury.

The King took our ships, and has burned our villages and killed many people.

The King has carried out several acts of war.

The King has also caused a rift between slaves and their owners and has made the slaves angry and violent. He is also trying to convince the Indians to go to war against the colonists.

The King is not a fair man.

Through all of these unfair acts that have been placed upon us we have made a great effort to tell the King how we feel. We wanted to resolve this peacefully but it has only escalated. A King that does not rule fairly should not be able to rule. We have continued to warn our friends and family still living in England and still, it has done nothing.

We, as representatives of the United States of America want God to judge our acts. We declare today that Great Britain will no longer be a ruler over us and that we should be free and independent states. We will have the power to build our own government and all the powers that come with government. We will put our trust in God and will be united in this Declaration of Independence.

HERE IS THE ORIGINAL VERSION

 

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

hen in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Man killed in shootout once was local racing star

Forward by Bob Barney: It'll be interesting if we ever learn what happened. There is not a week that goes by that I don't see people being handcuffed on the highways. Two Friday's ago, I saw 4 people being handcuffed at 4 different times on 64, 264 and 664 - all black men ranging from teens to 50's.

Every week, I report in The Plain Truth of police shootings, and people being arrested for just taking pictures with their cameras. I guess that has now becoming against the law too. I reported this week that NY State is passing a law that it will be a FELONY to "annoy a cop"- whatever that means.

Maybe this case is black and white,I don't know any of the facts..... Then again, maybe he was a part of a group of people that our government no longer will tolerate.

I wonder if anyone is starting to wonder just who controls our lives anymore?

John Settlemyre won 6 races in NASCAR's second tier

Jun. 08, 2013 @ 07:46 AM

GRANITE FALLS —

Folks interviewed in the neighborhood that was the scene of a gunbattle Thursday morning that left one man dead said they knew little about the man or his wife, who they said kept to themselves.

But John Settlemyre, 67, who died in the shootout with Caldwell County sheriff's deputies, was a former race car driver with some notable regional achievements to his name.

Settlemyre was a five-time winner of Late Model Sportsman races at Hickory Motor Speedway, from 1977-81. In 1982, that race series became NASCAR's Nationwide Series, and Settlemyre won the Winston 200 at Hickory; he ran just six Nationwide races that year (five at Hickory) but had four top-10 finishes.

One neighbor said Settlemyre more recently had been a long-haul trucker but had since retired.

As much as an enigma as Settlemyre may have been to his neighbors before, he will remain in their memories now. The sounds of the gunbattle that erupted Thursday morning in that neighborhood off Grace Chapel Road has left those who were within earshot wondering how the quiet residential area turned into the scene of a firefight.

Jack Baird, manager of the nearby Lake Valley Convenience Store and an avid hunter, was outside when he heard two rounds from what he guessed was a high-caliber pistol go off, followed by a barrage of gunfire.

“The rounds kept popping off,” Baird said. “There was a lot of yelling and screaming going on down there.”

Deputies had come to John and Linda Settlemyre's house at 5490 Northwood Drive in response to a report of some kind of trouble. They spoke to Linda Settlemyre. Her husband was barricaded in the basement. At some point as deputies approached the rear of the house they heard loud noises from the basement. Deputies tried to make contact, but John Settlemyre came out with guns, and there was a shootout between him and the deputies. He then ran and collapsed in the backyard, where he died.

Leviticus 26-Warning to America

Leviticus 26 ( a new translation with notes)

Blessings for Obedience (also read Deuteronomy 28)

Forward: This chapter is for ISRAEL. Israel includes Great Britain and The United States of America!  Jews are only one of the tribe's of Jacob (Israel).  The lost tribes migrated to Europe and became the modern nations of Denmark, France, Holland and Great Britain. The youngest tribe (actually the 13th tribe) is the United States!  Incredible? Yes, but true nonetheless.   This is our message. These are our warnings and blessings! The words of God are in RED, because the God speaking to Moses was the one who would become Jesus Christ! The Hebrew word for the personal name of God is Yahweh, translated LORD. Yahweh is the personal name of Jesus Christ! (Read Exodus 3:14 AND John 8:58 as absolute proof of this fact!) Elohim is the uni-plural Hebrew name for the God FAMILY! It is the group containing the Godhead. The notes are my comments.

1 Do not make idols or set up carved images, or sacred pillars, or sculptured stones in your land so you may worship them. I am the LORD (Jesus) your God (The Godhead-Jesus and The Father).

2 Keep my Sabbaths, and revere my sanctuary; I am the LORD(Jesus).

Blessing for obedience:

3 If you follow my laws and keep my Commandments and observe them faithfully,

4 I will send you the seasonal rains. The land will yield you its crops, and the trees will produce their fruit.

5 Your harvest season will overlap with the grape harvest, and your grape harvest will overlap with the season of planting grain. You will eat your fill and live securely in your own land.

6 I will grant you peace in the land, and you will be able to sleep with no cause for fear. I will rid the land of wild animals and keep your enemies out of your land.

America's Prophet Douglas MacArthur - Forwarned us-we didn't listen

By Bob Barney:
Here are two speeches, of many. Long, sometimes tedious, we have highlighted important aspects of his words, but please take the time to read and understand what this man had to say. His words were from God, he was a prophet, military genius and the greatest American of the 20th century! MacArthur also cautioned the young President Kennedy to avoid a U.S. military build-up in Vietnam, pointing out that domestic problems should be given a much greater priority. Kennedy was said to have come out of the more than three-hour meeting 'stunned' and 'enormously impressed'. unfortunately, the President didn't listen to his warning and 59,000 Americans paid the price. MacArthur and his second wife, Jean Faircloth, spent the last years of their life together in the Penthouse of the Waldorff-Astoria. After his death Jean continued to live in the Penthouse until her death. The couple are entombed together in downtown Norfolk, Virginia; their burial site is in the rotunda of a memorial building/museum (formerly the Norfolk city hall) dedicated to his memory, and there is a major shopping mall (MacArthur Center) named for him across the street from the memorial. According to the museum, General MacArthur chose to be buried in Norfolk because of his mother's ancestral ties to the city. Today, literally hundreds of millions of people owe their freedom, their way of life, and there prosperity to this great man. Ironically most of these people do not know it, or even know his name today. He wrote the Constitution of Japan, which forbade that country to ever have a military again. That nation's wealth and security is because of this man alone! Many today deride the General, call him a demagogue. He was vain, arrogant and sometimes aloof, but what separates him from those monsters like Hitler who have some of those same attributes is his belief in the true God, and God's divine guidance over him. He knew it, and trusted it. Once when his staff were dodging bullets, scrambling for safety behind a jeep, they peered out to see MacArthur, standing tall and totally unafraid of the situation.... "Doesn't he think he can get killed," a staffer asked the other.

The instant reply from his aide in horror, "Goddamn it, of course he does'nt!"

When his wife asked him (after failing to win the nomination for President) "What kind of President will Mr. Eisenhower make?"  He replied... "I think a good one! He was the best orderly that ever worked for me!"

Today, his prophetic words are haunting now more than ever....

Listen to the general, in his own words. he wrote all of his speeches himself!

Revelation 16, Matthew 24 Roy Acuff and Hank Williams

By Bob Barney
“There is a mighty battle that is coming, and it is well now on its way,” words of a song by the legendary Roy Acuff recorded by the great hank Williams, Sr more than 60 years ago sums up what we are waiting for.  As the song states, it will be a sad day for the inhabitants of this world, and although we do not know the exact hour of this event, we were given by Christ a list of world events to watch and then how to prepare ourselves if we are the ones that will live during these times.

In Matthew 24 and Revelation 16, we are told that great armies will prepare for an end time great last battle which will plunge the earth into the greatest upheaval since the flood of Noah.  This is an event that will happen, as God is never wrong. We can hope and pray that it is not during our time, but it is best to always assume hat it could be. What are we to do? Build bomb shelters, or run to the desert?  Jesus actually told us not to be troubled, when all of this starts because this last battle must happen before His return to earth to rule it, subdue it and to end poverty, strife, war and death. The Day of the LORD will be hard for all, but those who stand by Christ, will see all of their preparation come to fruition.  Christ promised that after these horrible times, He is coming - and with him eternal life without fear of death, without sorrow or pain.

We must live everyday in this world, but we must also live everyday preparing ourselves just in case that day comes.

The Battle of Armageddon
Written by Roy Acuff and Odell Mcleod….Recorded by Hank Williams, sr.

There’s a mighty battle coming and it’s well now on it’s way.  Isaiah 13:9
It’ll be fought at armageddon, it shall be a sad, sad day.  Revelation 16:16
In the book of Revelation, words in chapter sixteen say   Revelation 16
There’ll be gathered there great armies for that battle on that day.   Revelation 16:16
All the way from the gates of Eden to the battle of Armageddon    2 Peter 3:4
There’s been troubles and tribulation, there’ll be sorrow and despair. Matt 24:9
He has said "ye not be troubled for these things shall come to pass."  Matt 24:6
Then your life will be eternal when you dwell with him at last.    Revelation 20:4

Turn the pages of your Bible, in St. Matthew you will see,
Start with chapter 24 and read from 1 to 33.
In our savior’s words He said on earth, He prophesied,
For He spoke of this great battle that is coming by and by. Revelation 16:16

There’ll be nation against nation, there’ll be war and rumor of war.
There’ll be great signs in heaven, in the sun, the moon, the stars.
Oh, the hearts of been shall fail them, there’ll be gnashing of the teeth.   Matt 24:51
Those who seek it will receive it, mercy at the Savior’s feet.

The Calling

By Bob Barney - The Plain Truth

 

“It's a fine line between the darkness and the dawn
They say in the darkest night, there's a light beyond”

 

Tragedies and sorrows abound. The tragedy in Newton Connecticut... sorrows in Aurora Colorado and places around the world we have never even heard of. What's it all mean, and how can anyone cope with the pressure of an evil world. One thing I have learned over the years is that people face tragedy differently. Some can't handle their sorrowful times, and just “tune out.” These people will not face reality no matter what the consequences. Others, jump into the face of tragedy and fight with everything they have to stay sane. Many turn to God, and others to “religion.” Often some go into a morbid period of denial. I can very well understand the parents of those 20 children slaughtered the other day fitting into one of the categories above. My hope is that they turn to God for help, but many may not. It is sad, but the world we live in is not God's world. The apostle Paul said that this world is ruled by the Devil and his demons masquerading as false ministers of Christ who pray on those in distress and lead many to despair. He says in 2 Corinthians 4:4 that, “Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.” Some have such a difficult time grasping the practical this concept- that this is not God's world, perhaps because we think of God as Creator and marvel at the staggering beauty of what God has made. In that sense it is His world. But the society is not. In 1 John 2:16, John writes, “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the.” William Barclay in his commentary on this verse writes, "To John the world was nothing other than pagan society with its false values and its false gods" (p. 56).

It is hard for us to grasp a loving God with hardships, tragedy and depression, but because we are not living in God's world, under God's Laws and following God's religion, we are subject to living in a world that will hate us, hurt us and for some, kill us. Jesus warned his followers that “These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble. They will put you out of the synagogues [today it might be from churches]; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me. But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them." (John 16:1-4) Paul added, “Everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12).

I am not writing here as a mere observer, or a teacher; but rather, as an expert, familiar with the pains and sorrows of failure, misery and despair. Many years ago, after I began seeing God's word (called the Bible) as the truth, I traveled to Texas to meet the person who had probably more to do with my confusion and reeducation as anybody alive. But first a little history.

I was born into an average middle-classed New England Episcopalian family. My mother was a devote believer; my father was too, but not outwardly in the way mom was. He grew up very quickly and terribly hard during the depression. His father died when he was very young, forcing his family to be broken up and sent to various farms to work as cheap labor – slave labor. At 12 and 13 years old many kids like my dad, ended up living with farm families, just for a bed and a meal. Little pay – if any. They were often treated like mere slaves. My dad tells of times that he would have to stay in the kitchen, as the farmers real kids celebrated Christmas in the living room, opening their presents and having a great family gathering. Dad was not included. That's how he grew up in the real world - one that was often cruel and uncaring. Dad dropped out of school after the 8^th grade in order to work. That experience made him sure that he would better himself, and that his family would never suffer as he had. For the most part he succeed, through hard work, and a sense of honesty and character. All who knew him respected him, most I would say looked up to him.

His story changed. Dad worked hard, and people noticed. Like Joseph in Egypt, he had a knack to turn things around and make people money. Soon this got the attention of the Nestle company, and Dad was hired and quickly worked his way up the ranks to a high paid management position. In doing so, we (his children) grew up in a storybook life. We lived well in the 50,'s 60's and 70's. As for me, I was good in school, went to college and ended up graduating at the University of Connecticut in the mid-70's.

Now back to my story and my trip to Texas in 1978. My life began to change during these years, as I went from initially believing in God- as my mom did, to one that came to be convinced that God wasn't real. School taught me that God wasn't real, and that the Bible was full of fairy tales. Modern science, not ancient religion, was the real hope for mankind. One day I started listening to a guy on the radio who challenged about everything I thought I knew. His name was Garner Ted Armstrong, and his show challenged me to do my own research and not believe anyone, not him, or my teachers or some man, but prove through original research what were real facts, and what was myths. I soon found out that religion was full of myths, but so was science!

To make this short, I soon learned that evolution was as mythological as Pandora's box! It was shot through with holes, junk science and a bunch of junk science. I learned when one investigates any subject that they think they know, they often realize that they knew very little, and many of the experts teaching those subjects are more like “preachers” than teachers. So after several years of studying everything I could, I found myself believing in God, and more importantly believing what God said in the Bible! I have found over the years that many people believe in God, few believe in what God says! There is a big difference.

In 1978 I traveled to Texas to meet the man that had changed my life so drastically. I was surprised with our meeting. I told him that I believed God was calling me, but I didn't have a clue on what I was to do. What he said blew my mind. “If God is calling you, you better be prepared to have a quite miserable life,” he surprisingly said. “You better be prepared to lose your friends, family and sometimes even your own mind. You will be torn apart within, and often feel hopeless and weak. You see, God doesn't call people to save them, or for that matter to make their lives better. God calls those who will work for Him, and pay the price that will be required - which is often heartache and pain.” I didn't know what to say.

He continued, “Have you read the Psalms?” You will find those of David are mainly filled with fear, defeat and devastation! David didn't have a great life, you know- and neither will most people following the call of God. What you will have is the beginning of the greatest friendship you will ever experience. You will learn that God is very hard on those He loves, and that through the tough discipline, God will turn you into His tool to bring the Gospel to others searching for that same truth that you are searching for today.” I confess, this wasn't what I expected to hear. But is was, the plain truth of what was to come.

He turned out to be right. My life has had up and downs, great blessings and great sorrows, but my travel down God's pathway has never stopped. I have had great periods of depression and doubts. Many times I have thought God had left me, only to find out it was the other way around. I struggled with myself, and my God. There are times even today I worry about the things that in the long view doesn't mean anything, I still get distracted by this world. I still make mistakes and often find myself crying like a baby, pleading with God for help. The other day, feeling sorry for myself, as we struggle to make ends meet, I heard the words of this song which said:

 

                                            “It's a fine line between the darkness and the dawn
                                                                    They say in the darkest night, there's a light beyond”
                                                    “But the ending always comes at last
                                                       Endings always come too fast
                                                       But they pass too slow”

 

As I heard those words, I literally cried, because I know that God is there, and allows the darkest night, but we also know that His light is just around the corner. And it is for me, and it can be for you.

You see, I don't just believe in God. I know God. I know how God thinks, what God feels, and what great wonderful things God is going to do when His kingdom comes to rule on this earth. All those who ever lived and died will find another chance! All will have the chance to relive their lives without pain, suffering and evil caused by the Devil. I do not have to worry about saving anyone in this world, because everyone will have the chance to be saved after the Devil is chained in the world to come.

All those children that died so brutally in Newton will live again. Not now in heaven, as churches falsely proclaim, but at their resurrection when Jesus comes back to rule as King of Kings on this very earth where we walk on today! All their pain will be gone and happiness will abound. I often stupidly worry about my day to day life, but I know that everyone has the chance to someday find the real God and The Plain Truth of His Gospel.

However some of you are being called now, and you are the FirstFruits of the great harvest of God. These first fruits are the saints, the Christians of the Bible, who make the choice in this lifetime to follow God and His Law and believe what God says. They are people like John, Peter, Paul, and maybe you! Yes you too, if you are being called can know today what you and everyone else will know tomorrow - Those who are Christians will not be raised back to mortal life at the resurrection, but raised to Spirit at the time of the coming of Christ, and we will be His brethren. Our mortality will be turned into immortality and we will be “Born Again,” not of flesh and blood, but of spirit and become fully begotten members of the God Family, made out of the same spirit that God the Father and Jesus His Christ are made from. We will see God the father and Jesus as they are, because we will be like them!

I laughingly say that, if you want to join a miserable bunch of losers, ex-whores and ex-thieves (as the Jews called the early Christians) then anyone willing to walk the walk are accepted. Most don't want to join now, but even with the heartache and bumps in the road, it is great knowing the mind of the Living God, and what the truth is. And the best part? You don't have to fill out an application and send it to anyone. There is no cost, you simply tell God it's what you want – and if He is calling you – YOU WILL GET THE INVITATION SENT BACK, but probably not in the way you expect.

You may be being called now to teach others about the truth of God and the future of the world. It is an awesome task. If you are, times will be tougher than ever, but you will find that “fine line between the darkness and the dawn and that light beyond the darkest night.”

What Mistakes Nixon Made

Richard Milhous Nixon, 37th President of the United States (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

By Bob Barney

As the Obama scandal grows, the incompetence of the EOE president-in training showing, what becomes obvious to the historian is the mistakes that Richard Nixon made when he found himself in a similar situation. Obama, whose administration has been racked the scandal and stupidity, as well as mafia style Chicago politics has shown itself to be an enemy of the people, the press, and the church. It has struck out as boldly as any Stalinistic regime against all perceived enemies, and yet has basically remained intact.

The question is why? What could the Nixon administration have learned from this current occupant of the White House? I have come up with a short list.

1) Nixon who started the EPA, ended the war that the nation hated, did wage and price controls like any good progressive democrat, ended the gold standard and began arms reduction with the Russians (something every liberal loves), was still hated by liberals universally! Why?  The answer is simple. He ran has a conservative (which he was not) Republican. If he were a Democrat, he would probably have been rated as the second greatest president in the 20th century (behind FDR of course). He would have easily replaced Woodrow Wilson from that coveted second place position. After all, Wilson, a media and liberal darling did belong to the KKK and did think blacks were totally inferior to the genetically superior white race.

2) Nixon should have been a better liar, and should have surrounded himself with better liars. Of course, this may not have worked for him. He was a Republican. If he were a Democrat, he would probably have been rated as the second greatest president in the 20th century.

3.) Nixon probably should not have resigned. Like Bill Clinton, if he had probably fought his impeachment all the way till the end, destroying the nation in the process, he may have won in his trial in the Senate. Then again, he was a Republican….. If he were a Democrat, he would probably have been rated as the second greatest president in the 20th century

After considering the facts, I guess the only thing Nixon could have done to survive his tenure - was to run as a Democrat. If he were a Democrat, he would probably have been rated as the second greatest president in the 20th century.

Then again, Nixon could never have been black. A “condition” that renders one immune from any white attack, as long as you are a black DEMOCRAT.  Not being black, even as a Democrat, may have ultimately ended up in Nixon’s destruction after all.

Lessons:
1) Be black, be a democrat, be liberal, be pro gay, be pro Muslim, be anti-American and BE STUPID --- and you may end up being president for life!

The Future of Europe

By Bob Barney

What does the Bible have to say about Europe. After all, if there is a God, then wouldn’t God know what will happen in the future?  As Isaac Newton once said, the future is merely history that has happened yet. History to God, and our job to discover if God has informed us about it before hand. The Bible says that Europe will rise again in the very end time to become a dominate power in the world. Europe will replace the United States as the greatest superpower, but it will not replace our leadership. Europe will become a demon-posed, evil empire, ruled by an antichrist and under the authority of the Roman Church. America, on the other hand, is destined to become a conquered land, where the fragment of ancient Israelites living here, in captivity - with no freedom or rights. Aliens will rule the land, and we will be a nation in poverty and crime.

When we read the prophecies of Daniel 2, 7, 8 and 11 with the historical and prophetic contexts of Revelation 13 , 17 and 18, we read predictions from God that Europe will rise up one last time as a church-state union with significant power, based on future global economic impact.

After World War II, the United States helped to rebuild Europe, and today America continues to provide support and protection. Could the dissipation of the United States as an unequaled, modern superpower pave the way for the rise of a major new superpower?  The Bible says it will happen, and with recent events, maybe sooner than even most of us “in the know” even forecasted a few short years ago.

The time we live in is changing rapidly, but God word does not change. Start reading your Bible and hopefully with some help from the Plain Truth, you too can understand just what is happening, and what will happen…. God wants you to know.

What Signs Should We Look For in These Times?

 

By Bob Barney

 

Are we living in the last days? Are we in the end times? Is the return of Jesus Christ right around the corner? These are the questions that many of us ask ourselves whenever we read the book of Revelation or the Gospel of Matthew concerning the return of Jesus Christ and his kingdom of God that he is bringing with him.

First of all there is a misnomer, with the term “end times” that most people have. Jesus was never talking about the end of the world and John in his book of Revelation wasn’t either. While both men were talking about is best described with the phrase “the end of the age” of mankind.

When God created man, Adam and Eve to be exact, a new age upon this earth began. It was the age of mankind and it began approximately 5 to 6000 years ago, as best we can tell. Adam was set up to rule this earth during this age, but because of Adam’s sin he lost his right as ruler of this age–the age of mankind. Many are not aware that the Bible plainly states that the Earth is much older than man. In fact, those who believe the earth to be billions of years old are not necessarily in conflict with the Bible at all! It is very possible that the earth is very old. In Genesis correct translation of God creating the heavens and the earth is that God re-created the earth after a cataclysm that is not mentioned. This former earth was under the rulership of the great archangel Lucifer, the angel who rebelled against God and became Satan. If Adam had not sinned, he would have been the ruler of this age. But Adam did sin and was not able to replace Satan is the ruler of this age.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ, one that is rarely ever presented in churches today, is that Jesus as God is coming back to replace Satan as the ruler of this earth and usher in a new age. When Christ returns, he is bringing the kingdom of God with him, a government that will have no end, and the age of man will come to an end. That is the gospel that just is not preached today. Jesus was not merely talking about salvation, he definitely wasn’t talking about how to get to heaven, he was talking about bringing God’s government to earth, complete with God’s laws and love.

Will or next War mirror WWI?

Or How stupidity of leaders killed 20 million people


Forward by Bob Barney:  We live in an EOE (equal opportunity employment) world, fed to us in dung piles by our worthless leaders. All major firms hire EOE employees. Most never really get any power, they just fill positions and do nothing---no harm done. Recently many firms have actually promoted inferior workers into high positions with disastrous results. JC Penny, being the last example.  In 2008, America put an EOE into the White House, dumber than his predecessor, and only elected because of his color. In is my contention that we will not just experience one of the greatest depressions of all time in our very near future, I believe we will find ourselves in another war - maybe even a WORLD WAR.  So I decided to run an article on the causes of WWI.  The first World War was a totally unnecessary war, fought because of the enormous stupidity of the world leaders. Great Britain, France, Germany and Russia were all lead by complete morons that by shear stupidity allowed the assassination of a minor person from an even lesser known nation (Serbia) result in the First World War with millions of deaths. The great war produced the famous “lost generation” written about by Earnest Hemingway. The war destroyed France forever, reducing her into a laughing stock of all nations to this day, and took the greatest power in the world, Great Britain, and reduced her into a second rate power. The end result of WWI was WWII, and if America was not the growing world power on the scene in the 1920’s, when England declined in power - the English today would be speaking Germany saluting Hitler’s successor.  For America, our own hubris and moronic EOE leadership will result in the destruction of us as a world power. The following is a piece on WWI causes ---- compare them to today!

We have conquered for ourselves a place in the sun.   It will now be my task to see to it that this place in the sun shall remain our undisputed possession, in order that the sun's rays may fall fruitfully upon our activity and trade in foreign parts...   The more Germans go out upon the waters, whether it be in journeys across the ocean, or in the service of the battle flag, so much the better it will be for us. A speech by Kaiser Wilhelm to the North German Regatta Association, 1901. [Note: the AQA syllabus only requires you to know about the Arms Race and the System of Alliances, but you may wish to treat nationalism, imperialism and awful governments as essential background knowledge.]    The argument which follows suggests that Europe in 1914 was RIPE for war to break out - that the causes of World War One went back long before 1914, and had so set Europe at odds that it only needed a tiny spark to push all Europe into war. You will need to understand, not only WHAT the situation was in 1910-14, but HOW each element made war more likely...

1.  Militarism This is not just an arms race, but also a government's attitude of mind, seeing war as a valid means of foreign policy.   (This often includes the influence of government by the generals.) All the nations of Europe were militaristic, but the governments of Germany and Austria-Hungary were especially so. 2.  Alliances

3.  Nationalism

4.  Imperialism

5.  Awful governments

Do you believe in Freedom or Democracy?

A commentary by Bob Barney

Do you believe in democracy? What form of government is the United States? Is it a democracy, a Republic, or something else that unfortunately has been lost in the past few generations? Constitutionally speaking, America is what is called a "constitutional Republic form of democracy.” We are not as many scholars understand, a purely democratic society. Our forefathers knew that democracies can never last more than a few generations and that the only hope of our government to survive many generations was to form a public form of government. This begs the question, what were they trying to protect? What was the founding principle of our way of life that our forefathers wanted to preserve, protect, and maintain? We see that it was a democratic form of government. So is the Republic of the United States of America the end means of what the founding fathers were attempting to create back in 1789? No, friends, the most important principle to the founding of this nation is a biblical principle which you probably are unaware of. The word “democracy” or "Republic” is not found in the Bible. We all know the Bible is God's word to us and we know what was brought forth in the Gospel of Jesus Christ was concerning a coming Kingdom of God. This Kingdom would occur on earth upon his return at the end of this age. Christ died for our sins--many know this, but in addition, do you know what else Christ bought for us with His death? He brought us freedom. Freedom from sin, freedom from the devil, and freedom from the penalty of death by his resurrection! (see: Freedom and the Bible)

Freedom is at the heart of the gospel that Jesus taught, and freedom was what the founders of this nation were attempting to preserve with a constitution that they fought over and ratified in 1789.

Jer 34:17

¶

Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.

 

It wasn't a democracy that our leaders were attempting to create; nor even a Republic form of government - or for that fact, any particular form of government in general. Our forefather's did not really care about the welfare of the people, that led them to meet in 1789 to draw up a new government. It was personal freedom that our forefathers were trying to protect, something they fought to protect in the Revolution. Too many people think that democracy is worth fighting for and that democracy is the goal that we should be looking forward to achieving. Do you know what democracy is? Democracy is three people and two agree on killing the third. That is democracy! Do you want to fight and give your life up for that? A Republic form of democracy is when the same three people vote for one of the three to represent them who is given the power to decide to kill one of the other two! Is this what you're willing to die for? Is this why we should go to war in the Middle East or the far reaches of the world in order to protect democracy or Republic form of government?   No, what our founding fathers envisioned was personal liberty based on the proposition that our freedoms are not to be infringed upon or taken away by some law, person, or government--be a democratic one or not. Individual rights and personal freedoms are the cornerstone of what this nation stands for, or should I say, stood for.

We have been lied to. Our schools and our media and our leaders have convinced us that democracy is worth dying for! Nothing could be further from the truth. This is one of the biggest propaganda lies that you have embraced without thinking through the consequences. Our great nation is built upon the fact that the majority cannot take away the God-given rights of an individual. Our Constitution insures that you and I have the right to practice freedom. Whether that be freedom from our neighbor or our government, and that no law passed which abridges our freedom is constitutional or biblical. Look at the link below and see what God thinks about freedom and about personal liberty and about the right to choose right from wrong without the interference of God or the government. Yes, there are consequences for breaking God's laws but we have the right and the freedom to choose in any government that tries to take this right away from us. For when it is no longer the government our founding fathers gave us, it will not longer be the government God continues to protect.

If I can only convince my readers of one thing, it would be that the assault on personal liberties by our government of both parties, but especially the Democrats, will end up resulting in fulfilled prophecy of Leviticus 26--America will end up going into captivity losing its democracy, Republic, and most of all, personal freedom. Wake up and stand for freedom, be willing to die for freedom and understand what freedom really means. May God bless you and open your eyes to see the road we are on today and where it will end if we do not act.

Today is FIRST FRUITS - what does this mean to you?

By Bob Barney:

History of the Feast of First Fruits

Leviticus 23:10-12 (KJV): 10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the First Fruits of your harvest unto the priest: 11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.

When Israel entered the Promised Land, they were to observe the God's Holy Feasts - one of which is named THE FEAST OF THE BARLEY HARVEST (First Fruits): When the standing barley harvest was ready to be reaped, the owner of the field would take a sheaf of barley to the priest. This sheaf was called "the sheaf of first fruits". The priest will then take the sheaf and wave it before YHWH(Yahweh-LORD) in the House of YHWH(Yahweh-LORD) . Other offerings were prescribed as well with the sheaf offering (Lev 23:13-22).

The timing of this offering was made in a way that can be confusing. The sheaf was to be waved the day after the Sabbath (Lev 23:11). Which Sabbath?  Upon further reading, it becomes clear that the Sabbath isn't a weekly one, but the last day of Unleavened Bread - or the 22nd of the 1st month. The Feast of Unleavened Bread is a celebration for seven days, that starts the Day after Passover.


Messianic Fulfillment of the Feast of First Fruits by Jesus:

The Bible is about Jesus Christ. He is the LORD or Yahweh of the Bible. All Holy Days (holidays) are representations of Christ's plan of salvation and the construction of His Kingdom: The Holy scriptures clearly command us to not only celebrate God's Holy Days, but to keep them holy and separated to the LORD (Exo 23:16,19; 34:26 Lev 2:12,14; 23:20; Num 18:12-15,26; Deu 18:1-5; 26:2-4,10; 2 Chr 31:5; Neh 10:35-39; Pro 3:9; Jer 2:3; Eze 44:40; 48:14; Mal 3:8-14; Heb 6:20; 7:1-8).

Jesus was the firstborn in many respects:

Firstborn of Mary (Mat 1:23-25)
First-begotten of God (Heb 1:6)
First-begotten of all creatures (Col 1:15)
First-begotten of the dead (Rev 1:5)
Firstborn of many brethren (Rom 8:29)
First fruits of the resurrected (1 Cor 15:20,23)
Begin of the creation of God (Rev 3:14)
The preeminent One (Col 1:18)

Jesus is our High Priest forever (Heb 5:10; 7:1-3; Psa 110:4).   He Himself, upon returning to Heaven, in the heavenly Temple of the LORD, literally waved Himself as this offering to the Father. In John 20:15, Mary sees a man outside the tomb and thinks it is the gardener since the man wore filthy garments. It was in fact Jesus in these filthy  garments.  In John 20:17 after Jesus calls her by name whom she recognizes Him. However, He strangely tells her not to touch Him for He has not been ascended unto the Father!  What did that mean?  Read Zechariah 3 to get a picture of what took place in heaven when Jesus waved Himself as First Fruit in heaven before the Father.

Notice upon His resurrection, he told Mary not to touch Him! A week later, Thomas could touch him - that's because until the Feast of First Fruits, he had not yet risen to heaven and became "born-again." Some think that First Fruits is resurrection day-- IT IS NOT!


Spiritual Implications of the Feast of First Fruits:

The sheaf or bunch of barley typifies a person or persons in the scriptures (Gen 37:5-11). When Jesus returns to rule over all the Earth as King he will bring with Him His sheaves (CHRISTIANS). The believers are the fruits that were produced from the seed.  His own death and resurrection (Psa 126; Jer 31:9-14; Joe 3:11-13; Zec 14:3-5; Mat 13:37-39; Mar 4:26-29; Jude 14; Rev 1:7). This HOLY DAY is another Festival called First Fruits- It's called PENTECOST- 50 days from TODAY!!!!! Today STARTS THE COUNTDOWN TO PENTECOST as JESUS on the first FIRST FRUITS began the countdown to His return!

So believers who follow Him and His plan will become First Fruit of the seed He has sown (Jam 1:17-18; 1 The 4:13-18).

Passover and the Feast of First Fruits

The Seven Feasts of Israel (Part IV)

What Day did Jesus Die?

During this Passover season, many Christians who understand that Passover and not Easter are what Christ and the early Church of God observed. Today, thousands of Jews and Sabbath keeping Christians still observe the Passover in the spring. Everyone knows, Jesus kept the Passover, from the time of His youth. Luke records:

His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast (Luke 2:41-42).

The Apostle Paul also understood that that Jesus was a symbolic replacement for the Passover lamb that the Jewish people used. He also taught that Christians should still continue to observe Passover:

Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth (1 Corinthians 5:7-8).

But how were Christians to do this?

The Apostle Paul explains:

For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me." In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes. Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body (1 Corinthians 11:23-29).

So Christians were to keep the Passover in the manner that Jesus observed His final Passover. And that was at night as memorial--a memorial is an annual, not a weekly event. Notice that Jesus stated, "For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes." It is Jesus' death that this commemorates, and the Christian Passover is the annual commemoration of it. Also notice that Jesus DID NOT say to do this AS OFTEN AS YOU DESIRE, only that when you do it, you are proclaiming His death.

Now here is the rub, the simple fact is that Jesus did not hold his Passover on the same night that the Jews did! His was on the night of Nisan 13, one full day before the Jews where to have their Passover lamb. Scholars understand this dilemma and have tried to explain the paradox away over the years be making arguments that Jesus was forced to follow the Passover a day earlier only this one time because he had to die and the real date when the Jews would be slaughtering the lamb. The problem is that the Gospels never mention this fact! In short, the disciples, who seemed to always question Jesus whenever he veered from accepted norms, were not a bit wondering why their Passover meal was a day earlier than the rest! We can not also think they knew anything about Jesus' death, because he informed them of it (to their disbelief) that night during the meal. The Gospels state:

“Then came the Day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover must be killed. And He sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat." So they said to Him, "Where do You want us to prepare?" And He said to them, "Behold, when you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house which he enters. Then you shall say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?" ' Then he will show you a large, furnished upper room; there make ready." So they went and found it just as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover (Luke 22:7-13).”

It is apparent that this was only the 12^th day of Nissan (in the Jewish calendar) when this happened, and not the 13^th, as other have stated. We know this because unlike what the Bible commands, Jews have adopted a pagan calendar system whose days begin at the start of the nighttime, rather than the morning time. The Roman day begins at midnight, Jews at about 6PM, whereas the Bible states the dawn is the start of the new day. (See our link: When does the day begin).

Hence according to Jewish time the 13^th did not start until sunset of this day when the remark in Luke is referring to, but that IS NOT what the Gospels say. It states that this day was the day when the Passover lambs where to be slain, one full day before the Jews did it! Someone is not following the same dates here, and any reading of these verses demonstrates this perfectly.

A different Calendar?

A shocking search into the three groups that made up Judaism in the times of Christ: Essenes, Pharisees, and Sadducces. With radically differing beliefs, these movements often clashed. It turns out that there were great disagreements over the calendar among many other things religious. For example, the dating of the new moon by the Pharisees differed from the Sadducces by a day or two, hence holy days where counted differently by the two groups whenever each came to power. Whenever a Pharisee was the High Priest, the Pharisee calendar was used, and when a Sadducce was High Priest, their dating system was used.

A significant feature of the Essene sect and its calendar, which was based on a solar system Of 364 days, unlike the common Jewish calendar, which was lunar and consisted Of 354-days. It is not clear how the sectarian calendar was reconciled, as was the normative Jewish calendar, with the astronomical time system, but most likely by starting from the springtime, each calendar was was quite similar on common dates.

The author of the Essene “Book of Jubilees” accuses the followers of the lunar calendar of turning secular "days of impurity" into "festivals and holy days" (Jubilees 6:36-37).Books of Jubilees and the writings of Enoch I which discuss the calendar and dating system by which these people lived. Scholars had been attentive of the Apocryphal Calendar before this find, but interest was renewed with the discovery of these scrolls by which the Qumran sect lived. It is based on 364 days per year. The year is divided into four periods (to correspond to the four seasons of the year), of 13 weeks or 91 days in each period. There are 12 months in each year or a total of 52 weeks.

This “solar” calendar warrants extensive study, as there are now numerous proofs it was the calendar used by Abraham, King Solomon, King David, and High Priest Zadok. It is my belief that this solar calendar used by Moses and David, and Solomon, was also being used by Jesus and early Christians, and the reason why Christ's disciples where not wondering why their Passover came early is simple: They always followed a different Passover while with Christ. It appears everybody in that time had different dates for holy days!

So while many Christians in the Churches of God think that Christ changed the date of Passover from the 14^th of Nissan to the 13^th (instituting a new Last Supper instead) he did no such thing! Christ was not following a new “Last Supper,” but the Passover!

“And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.(Luke 22:15)”

this was a Passover meal, pure and simple!

The Answer!

It is clear that Jesus was eating the Passover one night before the Jews. It is also clear that he was not eating it a day early just this once. I believe it is also evident that Jesus was following the true Godly calendar instituted by Moses, followed by ancient Israel until their captivity. I also contend that Jesus observed a MORNING start of the day, as Moses did, and God commanded in Genesis. In a perfect solar year, the springtime is always on the 20^th of March. 14 days later, every year is April 2, the correct time to kill the Passover, and to eat it that same night! Also we know that Christ died on a Wednesday and not a Friday, and his meal was on a Tuesday night! I was quite blown away recently to hear Hal Lindsey state on his national radio program that he has come to believe that the scriptures show a Wednesday crucifixion.

Jesus declared that he would be dead for 3 full days and nights. “Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered Him, saying, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You." But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation craves for a sign; yet no sign shall be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet. For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the fish; so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." Matthew 12:38-40”

Try and get three days and three nights from Friday sunset to Sunday morning, you cannot!

Even more clearly, Jesus said that He would be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. This promise meant that 72 hours would pass from His death to His resurrection and that this would be the sign for the Jews that He was who He said He was (the Messiah). The Friday crucifixion with a resurrection before sunrise on Sunday morning totals approximately 36 hours. If we understood Jesus to mean that within three days and three nights He would rise again, then any period short of that would suffice. But He taught that after three days and three nights in the heart of the earth, then He would rise again. This logically would necessitate the crucifixion on a Wednesday, then the daylight and nighttime periods of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday would be three days and three nights. We count from either His actual death shortly after 3 PM or from the time His body was laid in the tomb, shortly before the annual Sabbath began, although I believe we should count the 72 hours from the time the body was laid in the tomb.

Notice in Matthew 27 that the chief priests met with Pilate the next morning after the crucifixion to get permission to post a guard and seal the tomb. The Bible records that this was the day after the day of preparation. This day of preparation is the 14th of Abib/Nisan in the Jewish calendar, when the homes were scoured for any leavened bread within the house and a preparation of food was readied for the Passover meal, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread [Mark 15:42, Luke 23:54, John 19:14, 31, 42]. Therefore, the grave of Jesus was not sealed until the morning of the 15th of Abib/Nisan, on the annual Sabbath. In the text from John 19:31, we learn that the body of Jesus needed to be removed from the cross because the Sabbath was about to begin and that Sabbath was a high day or annual Sabbath. This is consistent with the other verses which teach that the day of preparation was the day that Jesus died. Now we only need to determine whether the annual Sabbath and weekly Sabbath fell on the same day, which would lead us to the conclusion that Jesus died on a Friday afternoon, shortly after 3 PM as commonly taught. If not, then He died on another day of the week.

But the Jews, because it was the day of preparation (evening of the Sabbath), they were saying, "These bodies should not pass the night on their crosses, because the Sabbath say is approaching, for that Sabbath was a high day (an annual Sabbath)." And they asked Pilate to break the legs of those who had been crucified, and they would be taken away (die quickly). John 19:31

And Nicodemus came also, who had come before to Jesus by night; and he brought with him spices of myrrh and aloes for Jesus, about a hundred pounds. And they took away the body of Jesus and wrapped it with linen and with spices, just as is the burial custom of the Jews (Judeans). John 19:39-40

And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a sheet of pure linen; and he placed it in his own new tomb, which was cut in stone. Then they rolled a large stone against the entrance of the tomb; and they departed. And Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb (grave). Matthew 27:59-61

Jesus died sometimes between AD 26 and 35 according to all scholars who get these dates from various secular events. Herod died 4 BCE, so Jesus must have been born on or before 4 BCE. Luke 2:2-5 says Jesus was born during the time of Cyrenius (Quirinius) was Governor of Syria. Cyrenius became governor of Syria 6CE. So Jesus must have been born 6BCE or later. The gospels say that Jesus was crucified during the governorship of Pontius Pilate, which places it within the range 26 to 36 CE.

Is there a time between these years that the Jewish Passover fell on a Wednesday night, that their Preparation day would have fell on a Wednesday daytime, which is our April 3^rd (The real date of Passover) and that they would be eating their Passover that same evening? The answer is YES! In the year 30 BCE, on our calendar today, April 2 (the real Passover) fell on a Tuesday night, and April 3^rd when the Jews started killing the lambs on their 14^th of Nisan! The schedule of events fits perfectly!

Jesus died for our sins! “... for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed (Romans 3:23-25).” He is our Passover! “For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth (1 Corinthians 5:7-8).”

We are to keep the feast of Passover, not Easter, a pagan day instituted by pagans that took created a false Christianity that we are warned not to follow!

When did Jesus die? Most likely on this date some 1983 years ago!

How to Explain The Feast of The Passover and The Lord's Supper to Children

Tonight is the real Passover - Tomorrow the feast!

By Robert R Barney

Just that you know, because most don't, tonight is the Passover in God's Calendar. Tonight will be the Passover meal, followed by seven days of unleavened bread. Tomorrow will be the "HIGH DAY" starting at dawn. The Bible clearly points that "Christ is our Passover" and that we are to "keep the feast" (Blue Letter Bible it folks, you will find it!). Unfortunately, most Passover following Christians churches MISTAKENLY follow the Jewish calendar and have the wrong date of Passover and every other one of God's Holidays. Now you know the real date!

 The reference below is a good read on Christians and Passover, but they too follow the wrong date.

 Should Christians Follow the Passover?????

 For a Real Scholarly Article on the real Calendar date:CLICK HERE  WARNING BORING!! But good...

Editor's Note: In a nutshell, the real Calendar given to Moses was SOLAR based on fixing the new year on the spring equinox. Moses was raised as an Egyptian, which also followed the SOLAR and not a Lunar-Solar Year. The Hebrew Calendar given to Moses by God was the same as the Egyptian, but starting with a different month. The year started on the spring equinox (March 20-21) instead of the summer solstice (The Egyptian new year about June 21). The Bible shows beyond any shadow of a doubt that God's calendar only has 12--- 30-day months (that's only 360 days, the true year BEFORE the Flood of Noah) and that 5 1/4 days of each year are simply NOT COUNTED!

Many today do not believe in the flood, but the evidence of the great flood of Noah is found everywhere and no place better than the calendar, any calendar!  Before the flood, the earth was formed perfectly and the calendar was also perfect! The pre-flood humans followed a 360 day, twelve month calendar with each month have exactly thirty days! After the flood however, all hell broke out for mankind trying to keep the old "perfect" calendar. The earth had trillions of tons of extra water weight and sloed down! 5 1/4 days slower to be exact! Ever since, man has tried to make the calendar perfect again, but we cannot! The moon now circles the earth in only 29.5 days, so lunar months are no longer accurate (a lunar year is only 356 days long) Post flood mankind worked on calendars for generations. The Egyptians finally decided on a fix for the calendar that is actually more accurate than the calendar we follow today! Even with our modern calendar, we lose a day every four years (leap year) and we almost never know how many days are in many months (28, 29, 30 or 31????) The Egytian and Moses' calendar had 12-30 day months EVERY YEAR and 5 and 1/4 "no days". This calendar never needed adjustment! Passover, and all Holy Days (except the weekly Sabbath fell on the same date each year!)

 In Moses' calendar that "fixed date" is the spring equinox to make sure Passover always fell on the same solar day! Proof of a 12 month 30 day month year? Revelation says that 1260 days ARE 3-1/2 years OR 42 months! Do the math! It is PLAIN and simple. The Bible answers all of it's own mysteries. Proof that Jesus did not follow the Jewish Calendar? His Passover was 1 Day BEFORE the Jewish Passover! Nobody ever notices that fact..... Even the Armstrong's can't figure out the holydays because they never understood that the calendar Christ was following was the one that Moses followed and NOT the one the Jews were following then.

What's so "Good" about Good Friday?

By Bob Barney

Good Friday is the Friday immediately preceding Easter Sunday, as followed by most mainstream Christian churches. It is celebrated traditionally as the day on which Jesus was crucified, yet the Bible never mentions the day "Friday" as the actual day Christ died, it was inferred by early Catholic church leaders almost 300 years after Christ's death on the stake. If you are interested in a study of the issue, please see our article on SUNDAY that discusses the various views on which day Jesus was crucified. Assuming that Jesus was crucified and died on a Friday, modern churches follow this day (TODAY) as the day Jesus died.

The Bible does not instruct Christians to remember Good Friday or Easter for that matter, the holiday that the early church followed was Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

Why is Good Friday referred to as “good”? What the Jewish authorities and Romans did to Jesus was definitely not good (see Matthew chapters 26-27). However, as church theolgians say today is that the results of Christ’s death "are very good!" Romans 5:8, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” First Peter 3:18 tells us, “For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit.”

Many Christian churches celebrate Good Friday with a subdued service, usually in the evening, in which Christ’s death is remembered with solemn hymns, prayers of thanksgiving, a message centered on Christ suffering for our sakes, and observance of the Lord's Supper. Whether or not Christians choose to “celebrate” Good Friday, the events of that day should be ever on our minds because the death of Christ on the cross is the paramount event of the Christian faith.

If you follow today as Good Friday, be aware of the Biblical account but most importantly remember that on a day in history, GOD DIED FOR YOUR SINS! That knowledge and a humble and contrite heart will bring you a long way on the path to your salvation.......

The Plain Truth about Health Care Costs that they don't want you to know!

By Bob Barney:    first published on Nov 17, 2009

Last night, in the middle of the night under cover of darkness (when evil reigns) the US House of Representatives, under Democratic rule, passed the most comprehensive, expensive, and most intrusive piece of legislation in the history of this republic. From paying for abortions, to putting people in jail for five years for refusing to buy healthcare insurance, this bill is based on the lies, corruption, and downright malfeasance and abuse of power! The real cost of healthcare in America is a scandal, that you will not easily find except for this story on The Plain Truth. Do yourself favor, and try to search for healthcare cost of homosexual diseases. It will be hard to find the information that I will provide you from any Google search! That's because the politically correct homosexually led Congress is lying about the true cost of health insurance.

 Lies, lies, and damn lies! That is what your elected leaders are feeding you! Are you aware that 34% of the American population is obese. You probably are, because the news is filled with the cost of obesity on the American health care system. Yet are you aware that obese Americans consume 9% of the health care cost of this nation? 34% of the population, cost our health care system just 9% of its health care dollars spent!.

Happy New Year! Yes March 20th is God's New Year!

By: Bob Barney

No, I haven't lost my calendar and I do know what day this is on the Roman calendar that we follow. Many, if not most do not know it, but today is the beginning of the new year in God's calendar. The year starts in the spring and is comprised up of 12 30 day months. Almost no one understands this fact. The Jewish calendar for example follows a lunar/solar year of only 354 days per year. Every three years they add a 13th month. Sounds nice, but it is not Biblical. They also start their day in the evening. They got this idea of evening days while in Babylon during their captivity, just like our day starts at midnight. We get this day from the pagan Romans. God's day starts in the morning dawn. The easy proof to that is in the first chapter of Genesis. The first day came, then evening, then morning which is called the end of the first day, the second was starting.

 

When Does the day begin, according to the Bible?

By Bob Barney

Christ warned us to be aware of false religion, customs and laws. These warnings have basically fell on deaf years but the most important "sign" that we can look for, as to the coming of Jesus again back to this world is the spread of false religion and religious practices that are contrary to God. Over the years, God's Law (THE TEN COMMANDMENTS) has been replaced by man's law. Our theologians call it "saved by grace" when truly nothing of the sort is biblically true.

Christmas, Easter, Sunday worship actually pre-date the earthly ministry of Jesus! Yes you read that correctly, these holidays have nothing to do with Christ and were being followed long before GOD became a man and walked among us. Even in the garden of Eden, the very first religious lie promulgated was the "immortal soul" doctrine. To this day, we believe the devil and that "we shall not die, but be like God" and live forever as some spirit in heaven or hell. That is Satan's lie and almost every false religion has adopted it.

In Jesus' time, the Jewish nation, after years of captivity, began to adopt Babylonian ways. They took on the Babylonian calendar and "lost" God's true perfect one, and at the same time began the truly pagan observance of "evening days."  This simply means that, like the Babylonians, they began to start their day at sunset rather than sunrise. Like everything else, the theologians of the day twisted a few scriptures which may imply evening days and ignored hundreds of scriptures that proved that God's day starts in the morning. Most Sabbath keeping churches to this day follow this pagan start of the day and continue the practice of those lawless religious leaders that killed Christ! The same ones he declared at his arrest were those who worshipped the DARKNESS, when evil reigns! Yes, the nighttime is darkness, and God IS NEVER in darkness. We read in Revelation that when Christ returns to Jerusalem, that where He is will always be in light! There will be no nighttime in the Holy City! Yes, it's in the same Bible that we all read. Revelation 21:23 "And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb [is] the light thereof."

In the very first chapter of the Bible we read "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." 

When did this happen, in the evening time? Is there light at night? Read on..."And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. " So called the light DAY! So when GOD said "Let there be light" it became day! It was dawn!

Let's read on! "And the evening and the morning were the first day." Do you get that? After daytime of about twelve hours, evening time came, still part of day one, then  came the next day IN THE MORNING!.

Let's examine the first week:

Darkness over the earth........... This may have been millions of years. There was an earth BEFORE our present day earth that was ruled by Lucifer (under God) and then destroyed by God when Lucifer became Satan. Look at any good Bible commentary and you will see that in Gen 1;2 "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep."  That the word "was" (formless and void) can be translated BECAME! This is important. There is a big difference between was and became! Why does the bible commentators put this in? The reason is that they understand the significance of Jeremiah 45:18. Notice Isaiah 45:18. "Thus saith the Eternal that created the heavens, God himself that formed the earth and made it, He hath established it, He created it not in vain." "In vain" is an incorrect translation. In your Bible, if you have the marginal references, you will find in the margin the proper translation "waste."The original Hebrew word there is TOHU. This Hebrew word is the identical word used in Gen. 1:2, meaning confusion, or emptiness. or waste - a result of disorder, a result of violation of law. In Isaiah 45:18 we have the plain statement that God created the earth not "toho," that is, not in confusion, not in disorder. But in Genesis 1:2, the earth was, or the earth BECAME - as it ought to he translated - chaotic and in confusion.

The next issue. How long did the rain fall during Noah's flood?
How long did Moses stay on Mt Sinai receiving the Ten Commandments?

How long was Jonah in the belly of the fish, or Jesus in the tomb?

Answers:
40 days and nights
40 days and nights
3 days and 3 nights, and 3 days and 3 nights.

Question for you Sabbath Keeping Churches...

So the question is why wasn't these time above rendered as 40 nights and days or 3 nights and days? Jesus was truly in the ground for 3 nights and days, but he used the term DAY and NIGHT! Think about that....

In Leviticus 22:29-30: "When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord ... it shall be eaten on the same day, you shall leave none of it until morning." The insistence of the eating of the sacrifice "on the same day" before the arrival of the "morning," implies that the next morning marked the beginning of the next day. This suggests that the day began in the morning, because, as Roland de Vaux points out, "had the day begun in the evening the wording would have ordered the meat to be eaten before the evening."

The Law says:"But if the sacrifice of his offering is a votive offering or a freewill offering it shall be eaten on the day he offers sacrifice, and on the morrow what remains of it shall be eaten" (Lev 7:16). In this case the flesh of the sacrifice could be eaten both on the day of the sacrifice and "on the morrow." By virtue of the parallelism with the preceding law, the "morrow" must begin in the morning.

Quote below From: THE RECKONING OF THE DAY IN BIBLE TIMES

Samuele Bacchiocchi, Ph. D., Andrews University

"A second type of evidence supporting the sunrise reckoning seems implied also in the Passover legislation of Exodus 12. The law prescribes that the Paschal lamb must be slaughtered on the "fourteenth day of this month ... in the evening" (v. 6) and must be eaten "that night" (v. 8) with "unleavened bread and bitter herbs" (v. 8), leaving none of it "until the morning" (v. 10). Later in the same chapter the night during which the Passover lamb was eaten with unleavened bread is explicitly designated as "the fourteenth day of the month" (v. 18).

"What this means is that in Exodus 12 both the slaying of the Passover lamb, which took place "between the two evenings" (Ex 12:6— that is to say, as Josephus explains, between three and five o'clock in the afternoon),18 and the eating of the lamb with unleavened bread, which took place on the following night, are placed on the same fourteenth day of the month.

"This time reference cannot be harmonized with the sunset reckoning, according to which the night following the sacrifice of the Passover was not the 14th but the 15th day of Nisan. In fact, in several passages which reflect the sunset reckoning, the beginning of the feast of unleavened bread is explicitly placed "on the fifteenth day" (Lev 23:5; Num 28:16).

"According to the sunrise reckoning, however, both the slaying of the lamb and the eating of it with unleavened bread would take place on the 14th day, because the night following the slaying of the lamb would still be the 14th day until sunrise. This method, then, seems to be implied in Exodus 12, because, speaking of "the fourteenth day of the month" it explicitly says: "And you shall observe the feast of unleavened bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt" (v.17; cf. vv. 18, 42, 51).

"Jacob Z. Lauterbach rightly observes that "if they came out at night, that is the night following the fourteenth day, and it is said on the very same day, that is on the fourteenth day, they were brought out, it clearly indicates that the night following the fourteenth day is still part of that day."19

"The foregoing considerations suggest that in Exodus 12 the sunrise reckoning is used, since the events of the night following the slaying of the Passover Lamb, namely, the eating of the lamb with unleavened bread and the departure from Egypt, are both placed on the same 14th day. Elsewhere these events are explicitly placed "on the fifteenth day of the first month" (Num 33:3; cf. 28:17; Lev 23:5), thus indicating the use of the sunset reckoning.

"The sunrise reckoning of the Passover found in Exodus 12 seems reflected also in Mark 14:12 (cf. Matt 26:16) where the slaying of the Passover lamb and the feast of Unleavened Bread are both placed on the same day: "On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb" (v. 12). This statement suggests a sunrise reckoning, according to which, as Jack Finegan explains, "the day when the Passover lamb was slain and the day when the unleavened bread was eaten were indeed the same day, as Mark 14:12 states."20"

The Bible says the day starts in the morning!

Each day, at sunrise, the world experiences the same beginning as it did on day six of creation. Dawn breaks, the birds sing and the day progresses until evening, when most work for the day is accomplished. Then evening comes, and nighttime, followed at sunrise by a new day. Isn't that how your biological clock works? Does your body recognize midnight as a new day, or 6 PM? NO! You wake up refreshed for a new day in the morning!

The day symbolizes YOUR LIFE!

At sunrise, the day begins, which symbolizes your birth. As morning progresses, the earth warms and gets ready for the sun to work its way across the sky. We say, "the day is young." In the morning, we look at the day ahead as a long time, just as we look at our life when we are teenagers or younger. As we age, the fear of death begins to creep in, as in the afternoon, the hint of nighttime fills the air. The birds start gathering for night, the day is now at its warmest and things begin to slow down, just as our bodies do. The twilight of our lives, represent the twilight of the day. At sunset, the day is old, and so are we in our mortal physical life. Evening comes and the day dies... In our evening we die too.  We sleep that night until DAWN, just as when we die, we sleep in our graves until the LIGHT OF GOD awakes us from our death. For us a new day- our first day of immortal life! 

Each 24 hour day, God reenacts the same symbolic signs of our entire life to remind us not to fear the BIG SLEEP but to understand that when we awake, our immortal new life begins!

As John says, "Come Jesus..."

After America Collapses, What Comes Next?

Why America is Special

Liberal Owe Richard Nixon an Apology

English: Four Presidents: President Ronald Reagan with his three predecessors. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Bob Barney

When Bill Clinton wanted advice from a former president, who did he turn to? We know it sure wasn't Jimmy Carter, who Clinton did everything he could do to distance himself from. Hillary "channel" Eleanor Roosevelt, but who did Clinton want advice from? How about George Bush (King George the 1st that is), a person who basically adopted Bill, and even within the Bush family is known as "the black sheep son" on the elder Bush. If you think it was former President George Bush, you would have guessed wrong. Ronald Reagan, perhaps? After all Reagan, like Bill had the only other successful two-term presidency in 40 years. Again, wily ole Bill Clinton did not reach out to Reagan for advice. This could have been because of the advanced state of alzheimer's that Reagan was suffering from by 1993. I think most liberals will be shocked to learn that the man that Bill Clinton looked up to and valued his opinion was the object of liberal ire, Richard M Nixon! Yes, you read that right! Clinton thought Nixon to be an intellect like no other, and was amazed by just how smart Nixon was, even in his advanced years! Clinton received foreign policy advice from Nixon, usually in late-night telephone calls, that he described as "hardheaded and matchless". Nixon told an aide that no other president had ever confided in him so completely. During his visit to the White House residence in 1993, Nixon discussed with the Clinton both the challenges of raising daughters in the White House and passing health care reform.

Here is a story that must have been overlooked....

Nixon In Another Comeback: He Advises Clinton On Russia
Scripps Howard News Service

WASHINGTON - Richard Nixon has a new admirer - Bill Clinton. Like a cat with nine lives, former President Nixon's political resuscitation has undergone yet another twist: as bipartisan dispenser of advice.
After calling Nixon late last Wednesday and talking with him for more than half an hour, President Clinton invited him to the White House last night for cocktails and conversation.
The two men had not met before, but during the 1992 campaign Nixon said privately that he didn't think George Bush could win re-election and praised Clinton's political instincts.
The 46-year-old Democratic president, six weeks in office, wanted to pick the brain of the 80-year-old Republican ex-president, out of office since Aug. 9, 1974, after the coverup of the June 1972 burglary of the Democratic National Committee headquarters. Nixon was pardoned by his successor, Gerald Ford.
Nixon, who recently returned from Russia, has been publicly urging Clinton to substantially increase aid to Russia, calling it the single most important foreign policy issue of the age.
Since polls show little interest in the United States in foreign aid and given Clinton's determination to make the domestic economy his No. 1 priority, Nixon would seem to have an uphill battle.
But Clinton praised Nixon's position in a meeting with mayors last week, saying, "I agree, frankly, with the general thrust" of Nixon's arguments. (End of article)
 


If this should come as a surprise to liberals, who seem to have an attention span and memory of about 24 hours (the drugs, I guess) it might be noted that Richard Nixon did many "liberal" programs that Democrats claim as their own. Here is another article:

September 8, 2012
Richard Nixon: America’s Greatest Liberal
by Ken Layne

As we continue honoring the birth of Richard Milhouse Nixon, let’s take a look at his liberal credentials.
If you only know “Tricky Dick” for his dictatorial presidency that very nearly ended two centuries of American democracy and first elevated amoral criminals such as Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld to the White House, then you’ll surely be surprised by all the stuff we’ve hidden after the jump.
 
Nixon also distinguished himself by these lefty actions:
* Saved America’s environment by creating the Environmental Protection Agency and Clean Air Act while approving the most sweeping environmental legislation in history. 


* Simultaneously reformed welfare and brought in serious new civil-rights laws and agencies for minorities, women, the handicapped and children. 


* Proclaimed the first official U.S. Earth Day/Earth Week in 1971.


* Totally reformed the government’s relationship with Native Americans, bringing new self-determination and civil rights to U.S. tribes while saving such Indian natural wonders as Pyramid Lake — the tribe even renamed its capital “Nixon.” 


* Was even described as “the Abraham Lincoln of the Indian people.” 
* Loved those Chinese communists. 
* Spent more on social programs than defense! 


* Fathered screaming ex-socialist lunatic Mojo Nixon.
There you go, hippies: Nixon was more liberal than Clinton.

So I ask, what is it about Richard Nixon you liberals don't like? His lying? NOPE, that can't be. You didn't mind Clinton lying, you don't mind Obama lying. In fact, whenever another Obama comes to life, you just proclaim, "all politicians lie." 



Furthermore, Richard Nixon did something else he was never credited for... He literally saved tens of thousands of lives when he ended the Vietnam war in 4years! Barack Obama, loves to blame Afghanistan and Irag on Bush II, but did Richard Nixon ever blame the Vietnam War on Johnson, Kennedy and Truman (the three that brought us this war, which caused us millions of causalities on both sides)? The answer is no. He simply ended the war, and has never been given the credit that he deserves. I will never forget the words of a released POW returning from Vietnam in 1972, getting off the plane in America telling the world, "God Bless America - and God Bless Richard Nixon."   Liberals wouldn’t forgive Nixon for ending the war sooner, but don’t even bother to hold Obama responsible for his war, and YES it is HIS war now, not Bush’s!  Just like Vietnam became Richard Nixon’s war in 1969, Afghanistan and Iraq became Obama’s war in 2009.  The dishonest liberal press, and morons on the left wear rose-colored glasses whenever Obama’s true policies are exposed. You liberals owe Nixon an apology. It seems Clinton agrees with me.
 


Here is a video, for those who either forgot, or who never learned in our liberally blind school system:

Our Coming Civil War

By Bob Barney

There is something afoot in the nation, and it is ugly. We have a house divided, and I don't see it getting any better very soon. In 1860, we had a divided America which led to the Civil War with hundreds of thousands of causalities and a lost generation of Americans because two America's were not able to survive side by side. Some say that the eventual outcome of the war, which saved the union, was worth the hefty price. Others, myself included, wonder if the cost was worth it, if all we have to show for it is another coming civil war. A bloodier war perhaps this time than before.

 

I see what Pat Buchanan called “the Balkanization of America” happening and I don't see a quick fix. People who worked hard their entire life are not just willing to give up all they worked for, take away their children's future for a bunch of lazy, greedy and ungodly thieves, using the courts and politicians to steal whatever they want from their neighbor. In "Suicide of a Superpower," a book by Buchanan, he says the politics of race, culture and tribalism will be the largest problem civilization will face.

"Christianity is dying in the West," he declared on the radio. Buchanan says there is a "long plan" by Marxists to rid the nation of Christianity.

Buchanan doesn't think much holds us together as a nation anymore. "[The] disagreements are so profound," he told talk show host Sean Hannity.

"Cultural Marxism has succeeded in transvaluing all the values in society,"
Buchanan said among other views he has of the Left hurting what he believes is traditional American culture. "The America that is coming is going to be unrecognizable to our generation. "

Most likely, we will see a migration of people to certain areas of the nation where they will congregate with those that hold similar views. They will elect representatives who will, like those from the South in the 1850's, refuse to compromise on anything with those other states trying to rob their wealth. I can envision states banning together forming “Trade Union States” which will through low taxation and their use of the 10^th Amendment, will refuse to allow Washington to enforce any federal legislation that will forceable tax people for behavior. Some websites and Facebook pages are devoted to this theme already.  In Montana, the “Montana Health Care Freedom Act” otherwise known as Referendum 122, prohibits the state and federal governments from requiring the purchase of health insurance or imposing any penalty, tax, fee or fine on those who do not purchase health insurance. The people of Colorado and Washington State took that same kind of stand. By passing Amendment 64 and Initiative 502, they sent a message to Washington DC, and it’s loud and clear. “We don’t need your stinkin’ prohibition!” (more…) Of course, by then the Supreme Court will mandate the 10^th Amendment void and the war will begin.....

 

The Bible is clear on who we are as a nation. We are a part of the so-called “lost 10 tribes of Israel,” and our doom is predicted in God's prophecies. We are destined to be enslaved again to aliens living among us, who will eat our produce and take our land (Lev 26). By the time of the Tribulation, the USA is not even mentioned as a world power involved in anything, but maybe slavery. Europe and the Muslim World are destined to be the new leaders of a global new world order.

 

The Bible says that 1/3 of mankind is going to be wiped out in one instant in the final World War. That will be 2 BILLION people at today's population level. Think about that.

 

 

The Iran-Iraq border runs through the Tigris watershed (above), leaving the river in Iraqi hands. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Obama's job was to build up the coming king of the south (The Muslims) and to help defeat the Jews in Palestine. What isn't understood is that unlike Hitler, the antichrist coming out of Europe will not turn on the Jews, but instead on the Muslims. We are going to see the mass slaughter of Muslims by the Europeans, and the Jews will be offered protection by them against their mortal enemies. During this time, a new Temple will be built on or near the present day Dome of the Rock. Sacrifices will begin again, and war will result starting in the Middle East. We even know where that war starts. The Euphrates River, and where it ends; Armageddon. (Revelation 16: 12) “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates.” (Jeremiah 46:10) “But that day belongs to the LORD, the Lord Almighty-- a day of vengeance, for vengeance on his foes. The sword will devour till it is satisfied, till it has quenched its thirst with blood. For the Lord, the LORD Almighty, will offer sacrifice in the land of the north by the River Euphrates.” Here is where it ends, after 2 billion or more people DIE! (Revelation 16:1) “Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, "Go, pour out the seven bowls of God's wrath on the earth."

 

2 The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly and painful sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped his image.

3 The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead man, and every living thing in the sea died.

4 The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.

5 Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say: "You are just in these judgments, you who are and who were, the Holy One, because you have so judged;

6 for they have shed the blood of your saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink as they deserve."

7 And I heard the altar respond: "Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and just are your judgments."

8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire.

9 They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.

10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. Men gnawed their tongues in agony

11 and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent of what they had done.

12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.

13 Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

14 They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.

15 "Behold, I come like a thief ! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed."

16 Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.

17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, 'It is done!'”

 

It is written in black and white, you can believe the Bible, or you can go your own way and follow whatever you think is right in your own eyes. Your decision means nothing to God.

The Last Great Empire on Earth

By Bob Barney

 

Daniel, a prophet of God, lived over 2,500 years ago. He was a Jewish captive, living in Babylon, and during the time of King Nebuchadnezzar, he was given the meaning of a dream, by God, laying out before him the last four great empires that would rule the earth. One night during the second year of the king's reign, Nebuchadnezzar had some disturbing dreams that neither he nor his “wise-men” could decipher the meaning. He was told about the man named Daniel, and of his God, the God of the universe, who had the ability to interpret anyone's dreams.

 

Upon meeting the king, Daniel said: {NLT version Daniel 2:29} “While Your Majesty was sleeping, you dreamed about coming events. He who reveals secrets has shown you what is going to happen.

30. And it is not because I am wiser than anyone else that I know the secret of your dream, but because God wants you to understand what was in your heart.

31 “In your vision, Your Majesty, you saw standing before you a huge, shining statue of a man. It was a frightening sight.

32 The head of the statue was made of fine gold. Its chest and arms were silver, its belly and thighs were bronze,

33 its legs were iron, and its feet were a combination of iron and baked clay.

34 As you watched, a rock was cut from a mountain, but not by human hands. It struck the feet of iron and clay, smashing them to bits.

35 The whole statue was crushed into small pieces of iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold. Then the wind blew them away without a trace, like chaff on a threshing floor. But the rock that knocked the statue down became a great mountain that covered the whole earth.

36 “That was the dream. Now we will tell the king what it means.

37 Your Majesty, you are the greatest of kings. The God of heaven has given you sovereignty, power, strength, and honor.

38 He has made you the ruler over all the inhabited world and has put even the wild animals and birds under your control. You are the head of gold.

39 “But after your kingdom comes to an end, another kingdom, inferior to yours, will rise to take your place. After that kingdom has fallen, yet a third kingdom, represented by bronze, will rise to rule the world.

40 Following that kingdom, there will be a fourth one, as strong as iron. That kingdom will smash and crush all previous empires, just as iron smashes and crushes everything it strikes.

41 The feet and toes you saw were a combination of iron and baked clay, showing that this kingdom will be divided. Like iron mixed with clay, it will have some of the strength of iron.

42 But while some parts of it will be as strong as iron, other parts will be as weak as clay.

  43 This mixture of iron and clay also shows that these kingdoms will try to strengthen themselves by forming alliances with each other through intermarriage. But they will not hold together, just as iron and clay do not mix

 44 “During the reigns of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a ki ngdom that will never be destroyed or conquered. It will crush all these kingdoms into nothingness, and it will stand forever.

45 That is the meaning of the rock cut from the mountain, though not by human hands, that crushed to pieces the statue of iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold. The great God was showing the king what will h appen in the future. The dream is true, and its meaning is certain.”

This is one of the most important warnings in all human history, hardly understood by anyone! Before getting into world history, you must ask yourself two basic questions. #1 Is the God of the Bible real, and #2, do you believe that God can predict the future? These two questions are really the most important questions you will ever ask yourself; your very life depends on the knowledge that God Almighty has revealed what is going to happen in the world. The statue made in four parts represents the last four empires that would rule the earth. God says so right here: “During the reigns of those kings (the last and 4^th empire), the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed or conquered. It will crush all these kingdoms into nothingness, and it will stand forever. We know, from these few scriptures that the fourth great kingdom after Daniel would be the one that Jesus Himself destroys, and then sets up His own millennial kingdom.

Rome fell — a fact of history!

But why? The reasons have never been fully understood. The lessons have not been learned. Many of the same basic mistakes that weakened the once mighty Roman Empire before its toppling by barbarian hordes are now being repeated in America, Britain and the Western world.
You need to understand!

This booklet contains a shocking message — a warning for our day. And unless our peoples and nations wake up and immediately alter their course, they will — in modern fashion, and much more rapidly — suffer a similar crashing downfall!

After America Collapses, What Comes Next?

By Bob Barney

    The following video is worth watching.  The Bible tells us plainly that the USA is going to collapse and as a people, we are going back into slavery. To understand this, we have to understand who we are in the Bible. The USA and England are the lost tribes of Joseph, one of the lost tribes of Israel. The name "Israel" is actually "owned" by Joseph. That name was given to his children by Jacob (Israel) himself. The Jewish people have no right to that name! They are the nation of Judea. That is what the Bible says. Every expert of the  Bible knows this.

God warned us that during the End Times, our nation, along with England, Canada, Australia and the nations of northern Europe would again become "slaves" of the Assyrians. Assyria is modern day Germany.  Also, in Revelation, God tells us that the end time beast government would be a revived Holy Roman Empire, led by the Church in Rome!

The video below gives scenarios of what happens when this nation collapses. The video is WRONG, but worth watching. The Bible says that after we fall, a foreign people will rule over us.  Will our debt be bailed out by Europe or China, with the edict that we will have to surrender our land and laws to the UN?  The answer is most likely YES

  Someone once asked me, "Bob how can you say in one breath that God has little to nothing to do with this world, yet then say that the USA one of the lost nations of Israel? In addition, that if we do not obey God, our nation will be destroyed by him? Which scenario is it, God involved or Satan’s world?"

I am quite sure that many have asked themselves the same question and let me assure you that there is an easy answer! God was totally involved in our world in the days of Adam and Eve. He (One of the divine Godhead that became Jesus) personally walked with them, talked with them and instructed them how to live in a godly lifestyle and have life forever. God had every intention to be involved in our lives from the start, just as any human parent has those same plans with their children.

Then sin entered the world through Adam and Eve’s disobedience of God’s Laws. Remember there is only one biblical definition of sin. "Sin is the transgression of the law." (1 John 3:4) Without the law, one cannot sin! (Romans 3:20 and Romans 7:7) When Adam and Eve broke God’s laws, they sinned. The Bible also gives us another term: "The wages (or penalty) of sin is death." ( Rom 6:23) Therefore breaking the laws of God, brings death! Therefore, Adam’s sin brought death to mankind.
