The Truth About Jerusalem: It's Bigger Than You Think - PART 2

Emperor Hadrian BC 135 Palestine

Herodotus BC 5 Palestine — Philistines

Byzantine Empire 330-1453 AD During this time was the rise of the Catholic Church and the power of the popes.

A.D. 632, At the end of the last lecture, Mohammed had died in and approximately. AD 634/638 The siege of Jerusalem was taken by the Muslim army Rashidan.

Sophronius, venerated as a Saint by both the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Western Roman Catholic Church. He was the overseer of Jerusalem and surrendered the city to the Muslim army.

Through the years, the dome of the mosque has been rebuilt and expanded at least twice because it was destroyed by earthquakes.

During these times, the Jewish people were dispersed all over the nations. By the time of World War II, Jews lived all over Europe, in America and in the area of what was being called Palestine. However, during these times, they had no power and were subservient under the empires that were ruling. They lost any semblance as a nation once Jesus’ prophecy was fulfilled(Matthew 24:2).

A.D. 1045 Pope Urban II preached a message that sparked the the first of the so- called “Christian Crusades” It’s important to remember that we made the point last week that the Catholic Church is not Biblical Christianity and that during this time frame the Popes were trying to gain power and control over Jerusalem. Some people may not appreciate me making this comment at this exact spot, but this is what I’m going to do. Why is there such a frenzy to gain control of Jerusalem?

I will make this important point. Satan knows what the word of God says regarding the temple in Jerusalem and the positioning of the man of sin. Jesus said: (Matthew 24:15-16). Paul said in 2 Thessalonians (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). (Revelation 13:11-18). My main point to all of this is that when we see the chaos that surrounds Jerusalem, and if we are going to say that this is a signal of the end— maybe it is and maybe it isn’t time will tell. If it is though— all the fighting for Jerusalem from the time of the writing of the New Testament surrounds Satan wanting Jerusalem so that he can sit in the temple. It’s important that you understand that! Also, it’s important that you understand that when God comes to save Jerusalem, it will be after the 7 year period when His people are now ready to Jesus (Zechariah 12:9-11).

Back to Pope Urban II. The purpose of the crusades was an attempt to gain Catholic control of Jerusalem away from the Muslims.

AD 1119 The knights Templar were an elite military arm of the Catholic Church (ancient Jesuits) that became very powerful during these years and for a period of time, while the Catholic Church had control of Jerusalem, they acquired lands, became bankers and lenders of money, and used the Al Aqsa Muslim mosque as their palace and operating headquarters.

Intro Aleister Crowley ran a world wide black magic organization known as the OTO, which stands for Ordo Templi Orientes, meaning coming from the order of the templars. It is claimed that he learned magical practices that they gained as a mixture of Islamic mysticism intermingled mostly with Jewish Kabbalah. The templars were named this, not because they lived in the mosque but because they had excavated down to the level of Solomon’s Temple looking for secrets.

AD 1187 the Muslim general, Saladin Re-took a Jerusalem

AD 1307 The French King Philip IV had the Templars arrested and burned at the stake for admitting to spitting on and urinating on the crucifix. They also admitted to worshiping a goat head called Baphomet.

AD 1453 The Byzantine empire gives way to the Ottoman/Turkish and this region is under Muslim power for approximately 130 years.

Quick review of the Byzantine empire was the advent of the Catholic Church, the rise of popery. There were multiple power changes in Jerusalem between the eastern and western legs of the Roman empire and Catholic popes along with the armies of Islam.

AD 1583-1997 The British empire

There is an important occult connection that needs to be made during the timeframe of the British empire. AD 1700’s The house of Rothschild came into existence in Frankfurt Germany.

Some of the information related to the occult world is difficult for people to wrap their minds around. However, for those that familiarize themselves with the Scriptures, it should not be difficult to acknowledge the truth related to the enemy’s power on earth. Jesus, himself called  Satan the prince of this world three times in the gospel of John. As we discussed last week, Satan also offered Jesus the kingdoms of the world which he explained were delivered over to him, and that he had power to give them to who he wished. In addition, we can see the Psalmist in chapter 2, explaining that the kings of the Earth Have been planning a rebellion against God and his anointed one. Reaching back even further, as we discussed last week, the Tower of Babel shows us that the enemy has been engaging human beings in his effort to plan a New World order— if the Bible is real, we should expect that things like this are going on.

The writings of a man named Fritz Springmeir in the 70s Made claims that there were 13 illuminati bloodline families in existence. It is claimed by many that these families are considered Luciferian’s, and that their family lineage can be traced back to the ancient magic of Egypt and Babylon. It is claimed that just as the Israelites documented their heritage according to tribes, these bloodlines also documented their family origins.

The Rothschild family according to many sources are the most powerful of the bloodline families. I personally at one time had in my possession a Jewish Encyclopedia that documented the Rothschild family as the Vatican’s personal banker’s.

The house of Rothschild started in Frankfurt Germany under the leadership of Amschel Bauer Rothschild. There are many stories surrounding the Rothschild family. The Encyclopaedia Britannica states that the Rothschild dynasty began when Meyer Amschel Rothschild began working in a banking house, and became proficient with money in finance.

He had five sons, through which the family was slowly able to devise the central banking industry. They gained great financial power during the French revolutionary and Napoleonic wars. It is claimed that they financed both sides called in Britain and France. They had agents on the battlefield that were able to give them information stating that Wellington, the British general had defeated, Napoleon’s armies. It is claimed that Rothschild at this point, put out disinformation and claimed that France was winning the war, which caused the stock market to drop. At that time he bought up large amounts of stock at a low price, and then, when Wellington, the British leader, actually won the war, the stock prices elevated drastically making the already Rich family even more powerful. At some point, he was able to overtake the bank England and this began the start of international/ central banking in the world.

He sent his five sons to five specific cities in Europe: London, Paris, Vienna, and Naples.

It is claimed by some that both Kennedy and Lincoln were assassinated because they did not want to do business with the central banking industry. Most people do not realize that the federal reserve bank is not owned by the United States of America.

The Luciferian Conspiracy In 1784 "An Act of God' placed the Bavarian government in possession of evidence which proved the existence of the continuing Luciferian Conspiracy. Adam Weishaupt, a Jesuit trained professor of canon law, defected from Christianity, and embraced the Luciferian ideology while teaching in Ingoldstadt University. In 1770 the money lenders (who had recently organized the House of Rothschild), retained him to revise and modernize the age-old 'protocols' designed to give the Synagogue of Satan ultimate world domination so they can impose the Luciferian ideology upon what remains of the human Race.

Weishaupt completed his task May 1st, 1776. The plan required the destruction of ALL existing governments and religions. This objective was to be reached by dividing the masses, whom he termed Goyim (meaning human cattle) into opposing camps in ever increasing numbers on political, racial, social, economic and other issues. The opposing sides were then to be armed and an incident' provided which would cause them to fight and weaken themselves as they destroyed National Governments and Religious Institutions.

In 1776 Weishaupt organized the Illuminati to put the plot into execution. The word Illuminati is derived from Lucifer, and means holders of the light. Using the lie that his objective was to bring about a One World government to enable men with proven mental ability to govern the world he recruited about two thousand followers These included the most intelligent men in the field of Arts and Letters; Education:

the science's, finance and industry.

He then established Lodges of the Grand Orient to be their secret headquarters. Weishaupt's revised plan required his Illuminati to do the following things to help them aceomplish their purpose. (1) Use monetary and sex bribery to obtain control of people already occupying positions in high places in the various levels of ALL governments and other fields of human endeavor. Once an influential person had fallen for the lies, deceits, and temptations of the Illuminati they were to be held in bondage by application of political and other forms blackmail and threats of financial ruin, public exposure, and physical harm and even death to themselves and their loved ones.

Illuminati on the faculties of colleges and universities were to recommend students possessing exceptional mental ability belonging to well bred families with international leanings in well bred families. Bush/ Kerry

1871 Confederate General Albert Pike, who was a Luciferian and high-ranking the leader of the Masons. He wrote a letter to the leader of the illuminati during the time in Italy, which was a man named Mazzini. The letter was also intercepted. It described three world wars, that would move the world closer to a New World order.

Pike’s plan s plan was as simple as it has proved effective. He required that Communism, Nazism, Political Zionism, and other International movements be organized and used to foment the three global wars and three major revolutions. The First World War was to be fought so as to enable the Illuminati to overthrow the powers of the Tzars in Russia and turn that country into the stronghold of Atheistic-Communism. The differences stirred up by agents of the Illuminati between the British and German Empires were to be used to foment this war. After the war ended, Communism was to be built up and used to destroy other governments and weaken religions.

World War Two, was to be fomented (started) by using the differences between Fascists and Political Zionists. This war was to be fought so that Nazism would be destroyed and the power of Political Zionism increased so that the sovereign state of Israel could be established in Palestine. During world war two International Communism was to be built up until it equalled in strength that of united Christendom.

At this point it was to be contained and kept in check until required for the final social cataclysm. Can any informed person deny Roosevelt and Churchill did put this policy into effect?

World War Three is to be fomented (caused) by using the differences the agentur of the Illuminati stir up between Political Zionists and the leaders of the Moslem world. The war is to be directed in such a manner that Islam (the Arab World including Mohammedanism) and Political Zionism (including the State of Israel) will destroy themselves while at the same time the remaining nations, one more divided against each other on this issue, will be forced to fight themselves into a state of complete exhaustion physically, mentally, spiritually and economically. Can any unbiased and reasoning person deny that the intrigue now going on in the Near, Middle, and Far East designed to accomplish this devilish purpose.

Jerusalem: It's Deeper Than You Think

Focus: Jerusalem

Content: intermingling Biblical history, Secular history and occult history

Intent: understand how the history of Israel, the history of the occult world, and the Bible all intersect in Jerusalem and the rise of the antichrist.

The Bible repeatedly warns us about the influence of the kingdom of darkness and its influence on the earth. Some people don’t believe that it’s important to be aware of this, but it’s my opinion that if the Bible warns us about a coming deception that we should make ourselves aware and be prepared.

Matthew 24:24

For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.

Daniel 12:8

As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these events?”

Daniel 12:9

He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time.

Revelation 17:1-5

CHAPTER 17

The Doom of Babylon

1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed acts of immorality, and those who dwell on the earth were made drunk with the wine of her immorality.” 3 And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality, 5 and on her forehead a name was written, a mystery, “BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”

Revelation 17:17 For God has put it in their hearts to execute His purpose by having a common purpose, and by giving their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God will be fulfilled.

Matthew 24:15 “Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4

3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

Solomons split kingdom: 10 tribes north/2 tribes south: 1. Benjamin 2. Judah

1 Kings 11:1–12/ Ecclesiastes 12: 10–13

722 BC as Assyria overtakes northern tribes. Assyria is the area that was originally started by Nimrod:

Micah 5:6 They will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword, The land of Nimrod at its entrances; And He will deliver us from the Assyrian When he attacks our land and when he tramples our territory.

Consider the Tower of Babel and Nimrod’s plan of creating a society in opposition to God’s plan. Consider the Pyramids of Giza, which would have been influenced as the inhabitants moved south after the languages were confused and the people groups were dispersed according to their languages.

Consider the dollar bill with the pyramid and the all seeing eye of Horus—the Egyptian god

To this day very little is known about where the descendants of these tribes, or other than some remnants of Levi/Judah. The prophets during the time frame of the northern kingdom‘s apostasy: Jonah, Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, Micah, Zephaniah, Nahum, have a Cook

586 BC Nebuchadnezzar (Babylon) text Judah: Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, a Bendigo. The prophets during this time frame: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Haggai, Zachariah, Malachi. Towards the end of the 70 years of captivity: Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther. During these times, Daniels prophecies come to pass (Babylon, Persia, grecia, Rome). Nebucchednezzar’s image Daniel 3: 60 cubits high, 6 cubits wide, 6 musical instruments that when played forced man to bow  down and worship the image (Revelation 13:14).

445 BC Nehemiah receives news that Jerusalem is in shambles and asks permission from Persian king Artaxerxes And takes an entourage back to Jerusalem to rebuild the gates and walls in city. Nehemiah one: to one of his brothers came while he was in Shushan Persia

440 BC Ezra returns to Jerusalem to rebuild the altar. It was prophesied by Jeremiah that there would be 70 years of captivity Jeremiah 25, second, Chronicles 36: 20–21.

388 BC Alexander the great. After his death, his kingdom was divided into four Daniel 8:1–12

• Seleucids east (Antiochus 4)

Alexander the Great and the splitting of his Kingdom occurs during a time known as the 400 years of silence.

168 BC Antiochus IV. He stops circumcision, stops reading of Torah, offers a pig on the altar, puts an image of Zeus, that looks like himself in the Jewish temple. The Jews called this the abomination of desolation. This is a partial fulfillment of Daniel‘s prophecy of the little horn that comes out of the four horns. But Jesus explains that there was a future Abomination that causes desolation: Matthew 24:15; Mark 13:14; Daniel 9:27; 2 Thessalonians 2:3–4.

Antiochus determined to unify the religions of the region by compelling everyone to worship him as the paramount god—the Greek god Zeus—in human form__history highlights Bill Potter

167 to 164 BC the festival of Hanukkah is instituted after the Maccabean revolt. Hanukkah is also known as the feast of dedication. It celebrates the rededication of the temple. The Maccabean one independence for a short period of time with with the help from the early forming Roman republic. Israel regains independence for a short period time and this is known as the Hasmonean dynasty. John chapter 10:22–31 Jesus celebrates the feast of dedication. During Hanukkah Jesus, as the father and I are one while he is in the temple.

Within his 100 years of Hasmonean dynasty, Rome goes from a republic to an empire. 5 BC Herodotus the historian describes a place near Syria as Palestinia, believed to be associated with the ancient people known as the Phillistines.

63 BC Emperor Pompeii conquers Jerusalem 63 BC.

Somewhere within 60 to 70 years Jesus will be born into this cultural world where Rome conquers. But during this time they allow other nations to continue to exist, as long as they pay their taxes to the Caesars.

But the fundamental source of emperor-worship is to be found in one of the primitive tendencies of Roman thought, viz., the veneration of the individual human spirit, the worship of the Genius. The primitive Roman worshiped-in his utilitarian, not to say commercial, fashion-not only the forces of external nature which influenced his life, but also the power that is active within each human being-the Genius of the man, the Juno of the woman__ The worship of Roman Emperors Professor Henry Fairfield

Map showing the Roman empire, show how small Israel is, and show how small Jerusalem is

At some point during the Babylonian captivity, synagogue came into existence. Smaller houses of worship that did not include sacrificial worship. The emphasis was prayer and reading Torah, and with this came the advent of the scribes, Pharisees, doctors of the law and lawyers of the law. People began to study and experts were looked to for interpretation of scripture, during  this time frame, pride entered in to the lives of the Pharisees and the scholars.

Still Silent years

There was another group that isn’t mentioned in the scriptures known as the Essenes. It is well known that they were mystics. In addition, there are documents that show that there may have been some connections between the Pharisees:

John 8:44

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

One document made the point that the Essenes were the early stages of Kabbalah. They were mystics that believed in special knowledge in the study of angelology.

There was a mixed multitude amongst the congregation. Egyptians w/ the Hebrews?

Numbers 11:4 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?

Egyptian mystery religion is very well known. In addition, we know from scripture that the  Israelites were intermingled with the prophets of Baal, they serve the God of Chemosh, they served the God of Molech, Solomon built alters for these gods during his reign, as was already discussed. Make the connection of the harlot and her connection to the kings of the world.

No longer the in the silent years. Jesus has ascended

A.D. 70, which is about 40 years after the death of Jesus, and around the time that the gospel of mark was written, and also the letter to the Galatians. The Jews try to revolt against Roman General Titus of Rome, quash of the rebellion and Jesus, his prophecy regarding the temple, comes to pass (Mark 13:2).

Byzantine Empire

After the Roman empire, the next empire is known as the Byzantine empire, which, alas, from about 330 A.D. until about 1453 A.D. It starts about the time of Constantine emperor of Rome, who saw the cross a Crossing The sky, “In hoc signo vinces” (by this sign you will conquer) 313 A.D. Constantine under the edict of Milan decriminalize Christianity. The Byzantine empire started approximately 330 BC when Constantine split the Roman empire into east and west

600 AD Muhammad, there is a connection between Catholicism and Islam Pope John II “the plan of salvation, includes those who acknowledge the creator, in the first place, amongst him all the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us, they adore the one, merciful God mankind a judge on the last day(catholic catechism page 242–243)

Discuss the connection between Rick Warren, and Chrislam, the video that had the pope on simulcast with Kenneth Copeland

600 AD According to Alberto Rivera, Jesuit priest, who defected from Catholicism in the 1950s, he and a group of other Jesuit priests received instruction at the Vatican from Cardinal Bea (For more information on Jesuitism, research Ignatius Loyola 1500’s. He was a Catholic mystic/, Jesuits as the Catholic assassins and the Jesuit 4th death vow,  Jesuit General aka Black Pope), Alberto Rivera Cardinal Bea explained that Catholicism had a large hand in creating Islam, Mohamed married a woman named Khadijah who was an Arab that had been converted to a nun. All this occurred during the Byzantine Empire, which existed between 330-1400 AD. The purpose originally started, because the Catholic Church wanted Jerusalem for itself. The Ishmaelites were a large nomadic group of Bedouins without a nation. The Vatican instructed that a leader amongst those people was to be found and trained to be a warrior and create an army that could give the Pope Jerusalem.

The known history of Islam is that the angel Gabriel appeared to Mohammed and told him to create the Nation of Islam. The Arab army became very powerful. Before we move on with this part of the story let’s take a look at some documented connections between Catholicism and Islam:

Independent Catholic news May 9, 2017: The Surprise Connection Between our Lady of Fatima and Islam.

The Portuguese cities Fatima and Ourema are said to be named after the Muslim princess. What’s interesting is that the Muslim princess named after one of the daughters of Muhammad Fatima, a woman, highly revered in Islam. She was given the title of Al-zahara the shining one, and Mohamed said about her “Thou shall be the most blessed of all women in Paradise after Mary” (While Muslims do not all the same beliefs about the Virgin Mary as Catholics. They still hold her with highest regard__ Independent Catholic News May 9th 2017

May—October 1917 in Fatima the sun appeared and danced in the sky, and the voice spoke this called the Fatima apparition of Mary.

According to Alberto Rivera Mohammed was trained to be the leader of an Arab army to fight and gain control of Jerusalem from the Eastern leg of the Roman Empire who, at the time was controlling Jerusalem. Mohammed built his great army and died AD 632 Caliph Rashidan won the victory over the Eastern part of the Roman Empire, and it was at this point that the Pope in Rome would have expected to receive Jerusalem from the Arab army, but the Caliph said something to this effect, Why should I give it to you? I won it, come get it if you want it. The dome of the rock was built over the next hundred years afterwards.

Why would they want control of Jerusalem at this time?

Possibilities:   

I find it strange that the book of Revelation was written by John in AD 95

1. AD 300 Constantine sees some kind of cross in the sky and wins a war

2. He makes persecution against Christianity a crime but keeps the Pagan rituals

3. Satan already knows that Jesus’ prophesied that the abomination of desolation will be fulfilled when antichrist sits in the temple 70 AD Mark 13:14; 50 AD 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4

4. Now, about 200 hundred years after the book of Revelation is written, Catholicism starts and throughout the Byzantine Empire (we will start there next week) Popery begins to gain power as it establishes its seat in the city of Rome, which is the city most scholars believe that Peter was referring to when he said, “The church that is at Babylon saluteth you” (1 Peter 5:13).

5. Revelation 17:9-10 The 7 heads are 7 mountains/ Well that’s convenient: Rome is built on 7 hills. The woman is dressed in scarlet and purple. Well, that’s convenient: the Vatican priests are dressed in purple and the Vatican cardinals are dressed in scarlet. She has a golden cup in her hand. Well, that’s convenient: Roman Catholicism uses a golden cup for their communion and let’s not even get into the strangeness that they believe regarding the wine turning into literal blood of Jesus and then drinking it.

during the early stages of the Byzantine empire, which I would call the rise of popery. During this time the Catholic Church want to Jerusalem for itself, why would they want Jerusalem?

Revelation 17 she has Justin purple is Colin has a cup full of abominations. She prays with Babylonian prayer beads.

Spurgeon, Wesley, Albert, Barnes, the list goes on, and on of mighty men of God that won the world is in Catholicism, that war of the world against Catholics and Catholicism and popery. Whether it’s Satan, see if there needs to be a temple for him to sit in it, so he creates Catholicism Babylonian Meche Religion and makes a powerful, spiritual army. Our God put in his hard to do it and it’s like the Egyptian pharaoh situation worked on Harden‘s heart and then he hardness zone heart, nevertheless, Catholicism want to Jerusalem.
