GOD'S MESSAGE FOR AMERICA TODAY AMERICA THE CONDEMNED! The United States, our beloved country, yours and mine, now faces TOTAL DESTRUCTION! What a paradox. No nation was ever so rich, none ever so blessed by God, now we stand condemned to total disaster! It will come soon! Maybe not this year or the next, but much sooner than anyone thinks! WE ourselves have already CAUSED IT! This nation is now heading rapidly into the most terrifying havoc the mind of man could contemplate. Listen, this is real, no prophet of doom crying wolf. It is the TRUTH from the God of all creation. A third of our people, white English speaking people and minorities with us, will die in a disease epidemic such as the world never experienced, resulting from imminent famine. Our cities will be destroyed, and with them another third of all our beloved peoples will die. This military destruction, of course means nuclear destruction, hydrogen bombs. The third of our peoples left alive will be taken away form our country as slaves to enemy lands overseas! Politicians and Theologians Won't Tell Candidates for President know many of the causes drawing us rapidly into the vortex of utter diaster. Why are they afraid to tell you the real truth about inflation, balance of payments problems with other nations, dollar devaluation, and many other evil causes which they knowingly perpetuate? This was all prophesied more than 500 years before Christ as we shall show you. But the world, its theologians and religionists, have been blind to these words of God for nearly 2500 years! Why do not theologians, doctors of divinity and of theology, evangelists, and religious leaders shout this warning to you? THEY SIMPLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND GOD'S PROPHECIES! They do not preach what God's Word says. They take a piece of a sentence or a paragraph here or there out of context, yet leave 98 percent of the Bible unread and unpreached! God's Warning Those who are of God and follow and obey his commandments do understand God's prophecies, God's purpose, and God's master plan for man. God has sent this WARNING to all who can hear and receive these words. Most of you may not believe it, but these things are going to happen to YOU and America. It's your life we are concerned about. We want you to know what's going to happen to you, your town, or city, and your country. And most of all we want you to understand WHY. Ezekiels Vision One of the major prophets of God, prior to the time of Christ, was the prophet Ezekiel. Ezekiel, under the Old Testament priesthood, had been a priest. But he had been taken captive by Babylon with other Jews in the captivity of King Jehoiachin of Judah. He was a prisoner by the river Chebar in Babylon. In a vision it seemed to him the heavens opened. He recorded what he saw. The first chapter of the book of Ezekiel records a very mysterious sight he saw in the heavens in this vision. Ezekiel was seeing the heavenly throne of God in his vision. He was to write a most important PROPHETIC WARNING FOR YOU and me in this latter part of the 20th CENTURY! The voice of God said to Ezekiel: "I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers hath transgressed against me even unto this very day " (Ezekiel 2:3). The "children of Israel" could, and here did, include all 12 tribes. However, Ezekiel was sent expecially to "the House of Israel," a term which refers only to the people of the northern 10-tribed kingdom, often referred to as the "Lost Ten Tribes." They were never called Jews. The first place in the Bible where the name Jews is used is II KIngs 16:6, where Israel, allied with Syria, is at war against the Jews. The southern kingdom had retained Jerusalem as its capital, but had seceded form Israel. They were led by the tribe of Judah and were called Jews. But none of the northern 10 tribes, with the capital at Samaria, were ever called Jews. The term "house of Israel" in the Old Testament always refers to those of these 10 tribes. The term "children of Israel" quoted above, refers to all 12 tribes, both nation, the house of Israel, and the house of Judah. The more specific commission of Ezekiel is mentioned in chapter 3 verse 1 where God said, "Go, speak unto THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL." Again in verse 4: "And He said unto me, Son of man, Go, get thee unto the HOUSE OF ISRAEL." Ezekiel Never Went To Israel Now at this point, understand this: Ezekiel was never allowed to travel. Ezekiel was a captive, a prisoner. His country, Judah, had been invaded, and he was a prisoner of war in a prison camp in the nation of Babylon. Further, the HOUSE OF ISRAEL, the nation to which he was sent, had been taken captive more than a hundred years before Judah's captivity. The house of Israel had been taken to Assyria on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea as slaves. And before Ezekiel became a prisoner, the Assyrians themselves had gone into captivity, together with their Israelite slaves. They became known as the "Lost Ten Tribes." Where they migrated to is revealed later in this book. The thing you need to know for now, is that the United States and Britian are the modern day House of Israel. The prophet Ezekiel was never freed or allowed to travel from his prison in Babylon to the house of Israel. The lamentations and woes of the message to be carried to Israel never occurred in Ezekiel's time or later. They are to strike America and Britian in our time. This is borne out by several other prophecies! So Ezekiel merely received and wrote down the warning message. It was a prophecy for the latter part of the 20th century. YOU ARE READING THAT MESSAGE NOW! Watchman to Give Warning God said to Ezekiel, "Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel" (Ezek. 3:17). Later, God puts this another way. God says, "Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sord [military invasion] upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman; if when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head...But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul" (Ezek. 33:2-6). Continuing, "But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword [military or atomic invasion] come, and take any person from among them...his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel [U.S. and British peoples]; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me" [Ezek. 33:6-7). So God has set a watchman over the modern HOUSE OF ISRAEL. This watchman is to watch events as they fulfill prophecies leading up to what Ezekiel is to warn the lost 10-tribed Israel about. The time is now, to warn the people of the 20th century house of Israel, especially the American people, of this terrible fate about to befall. YOU ARE BEING WARNED! Ezekiel's Warning Now what is the very crux of Ezekiel's warning? It is found in chapters 5 and 6 of Ezekiel. God says to 20th century British and Americans (5:8-9), "Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I, even I, am against thee and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations. And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and wereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations!" Compare these verses with Matthew 24:21, Daniel 12:1-2, and Jeremiah 30:3-7. There can be only one time of trouble more severe than any before or since. These four prophecies all speak of THE GREAT TRIBULATION. Jeremiah shows it will be primarily that of the British and Americans. Ezekiel shows, as quoted below, the nature and extent of that trouble. Ezekiel's prophecy continues, "Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all they detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity. A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence and with famine will they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword [nuclear destruction of our cities, see later, from chapter 6]...and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them, and I will be comforted: and THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I THE LORD HAVE SPOKEN IT IN MY ZEAL, WHEN I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED MY FURY IN THEM" (Ezek. 5:11-13). This is to be the most terrible fate ever to happen to any people! God is going to send it upon peoples who, more than any others, have KNOWN HIS WILL, and have ignored it and rebelled against Him! God has blessed us as no other nations. Not only has He blessed us with material wealth and nation greatness unmatched, but He has blessed us with His TRUTH, His Word, the Bible, which our nations have spurned. We have made athesitic evolution the very foundation of our educational system in which we rear our children. Hundreds upon hundreds of our churches have idols that are adored. We have profaned God's sabbath day and His Holy days. Our sins are monumental! (The remainder of this book points out these sins and how to follow God and his ways.) Continuing the prophecy in chapter 6, verses 6-8, God says, "In all your dwelling places [different countries to which Israel shall have imigrated by the 20th century] the cities shall be laid waste...and the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the Lord. Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that escape the sword among the nations when ye shall be scatterred through the countries." The phrase "Ye shall know that I am the Lord" is frequently used by Ezekiel, designating Christ's Second Coming in glory and power. This great calamity foretold by Ezekiel, actually shall begin in the "GREAT TRIBULATION" but will continue throught the "DAY OF THE LORD", the time of God's "FURY" mentioned earlier, and until Christ's coming in supreme power to rule! Later in the 6th chapter, Ezekiel definitely pin-points this prophecy to the "house of Israel," which is 20th century United States and the British nations: "And they shall know that I am the Lord, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them. Thus saith the Lord God, smite with thind hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! For they SHALL FALL BY THE SWORD, BY THE FAMINE, AND BY THE PESTILENCE...thus will I accomplish my FURY upon them. Then shall ye know that I am the Lord!...(verses 10-13). This removes all doubt that this prophecy pertains to the Lost Ten Tribes of the house of Israel who, today are the United States and British nations! The time of this prophecy is made sure. It shall begin with the Great Tribulation, and carry on through the Day of the Lord, right up to the time of Christ's second coming. Jeremiah chapter 30 makes this even more certain. The Great Tribulation Ezekiel gave us a preview of what will happen to the lost 10-tribes Israel. Matthew gives a general description of its enormous severity in Matthew 24. Jesus himself is here speaking. Jesus said the sign by which we may know when the end of this present world and the coming of Christ in near, is that "this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come" (Matthew 24:14). And Jesus continues, "there shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, ther should no flesh be saved [left alive]; but for the elects's sake those days shall be shortened" (Matt. 24:21-22). Mark 13 and Luke 21 speak of this same time of great tribulation. Besure to take the time and read all three accounts in full. Now notice Daniel's prophecy of the same GREAT TRIBULATION: "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a TIME OF TROUBLE, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered every one that shall be found written in the book; and many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life"... (Daniel 12:1-2). Daniel shows when it shall occur, just before the resurrection and Christ's return. Now notice Jeremiah's prophecy of the same event. Begin in Jeremiah 30, verse 5: "For thus saith the Lord, We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces turned into paleness? Alas for that day is great so that none is like it : it is even the time of Jacob's trouble..." This tells upon which nations the Great Tribulation will primarily fall. The United States and the British are primarily 20th century "Jacob." See the chapter on the United States and Britain in prophecy. We have yet to come to a time when men will clutch at their stomachs and loins, in fright and fear and in pain as a woman in childbirth. Such a time is now JUST AROUND THE CORNER! Now remember, Ezekiel showed that our nations, the third remaining alive, shall be scattered, driven away from our own lands, and shall become slaves in enemy nations. Jeremiah 30 now brings out this fact. Continuing with the the 7th verse: "...but he [Jacob] shall be saved out of it. For it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord of hosts, That I will break his yoke [slavery] from your neck, and will burst your bonds; foreigners shall no more enslave them. But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up [from the dead] for them." Then in the following chapter Jeremiah shows the New Covenant being made after Christ's return in power and glory. "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah...I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people" (Jer. 31:31- 33). Continuing in Jeremiah: "All your lovers have forgotten you; they do not seek you; for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the MULTITUDE OF YOUR INIQUITIES, because your sins have increased. Why do you cry about your affliction? Your sorrow is incurable. Because of the multitude of your iniquities, because your sins have increased, I have done these things to you" (Jer. 30:14-15). So as we said at the beginning of this chapter, "we, ourselves, have caused it." We, the modern nations of Israel, are bringing this terrible destruction and national captivity upon ourselves. It is because we have sinned and turned away from God's way and truth as revealed in his Word, the Bible. Unless we repent, and start living God's way and start keeping God's commandments , as given in this Book, then we must suffer the consequences. Ok, lets tie all this together. In Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28, God promised ancient Israel, under Moses, national wealth and greatness UPON OBEDIENCE. But if they continually disobeyed, God would remove the birthright promise for 2520 years. This expired in about A.D. 1800 and Britian and America, as modern Israel, received it and suddenly grew until we possessed more than three fourths of all the wealth of the world. In Leviticus 26 God says that once He has fulfilled His unconditional promise to Abraham in our individual and collective national greatness, if we continue in our sins, He will punish us as we described above. In Leviticus 26:19, God says, "I will break the pride of your power." Already Britain's sun has set. It is no longer the greatest empire in world history. It has lost its tremendous possessions. It is now one of the smaller nations. The United States still has military power but she is afraid to use it, has no pride in it. We could not win the Korean war, and we couln't whip little North Vietnam. The United States is now discredited, despised, and hated throughout much of the world. The United States is on the way down and out. God is in control and he sets nations and rulers in power and removes them too, to accomplish his purpose. A Remnant Escapes God promised he would provide an escape for those who kept His Word. Ezekiel 6:8 says "Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations..." Compare this with Revelation 3:10. It is speaking of the "Philadelphia" era of God's Church, during the latter half of this 20th century, and says, "Because thos hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation [trial or tribulation] which shall come upon all the world..." Finally, compare that with Revelation 12:14, speaking of a time very soon to come, after the war in heaven, when Satan and his demons are cast back down to earth: "And to the woman," the persecuted true Church of God, "were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time [3 1/2 years] from the face of the serpent." Will You Be Counted Worthy to Escape? The average reader will probably pass over this totally unheeded. Woe to you who do. You were warned. Jonah gave a similar warning to the ancient city of Nineveh, they did listen, repented, and saved themselves alive. Will the United States listen? This warning is direct from the Word of God. Those who heed this warning and turn back to God's way's, his sabbaths, and his commandments, will be counted worthy to escape this great tribulation. In Summary This is God's Message to America Today 1. America, you had the blessings of Abraham. 2. Your sins are great and increasing. 3. The handwriting is on the wall. 4.
