Brzezinski's Failed Vision & The Kings of the East



BRZEZINSKI’S FAILED VISION
The Kings of the East
Further Destruction of Mystery, Babylon

The “Kings of the East” as mentioned in Revelation 16:12 have been in existence for the past few years.  Cyrus, Kings, & Babylon  For a review of my current End-times beliefs – the bulk of the Revelation prophecy is mostly related to the history of the Church and its tribulation in both Europe, Asia Minor, and north Africa.  The majority of the prophecy has been fulfilled or is currently ongoing such as the beast from the sea or little horn which is the Papacy and the beast from the earth which is the initial Rothschild banking system that has evolved into the international banking and finance system operating on fiat money and oppressive debt slavery.

Revelation 16:12 NET  Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates and dried up its water to prepare the way for the kings from the east.

This is not to say that chapter one through fifteen of the Revelation represent a dead issue because sections of the historical prophecy may have a secondary fulfillment in the days to come.

As always and forever, God is completely in control of all issues and happenings and these “kings of the East” have been raised up by God for the purpose of overthrowing Mystery, Babylon.  The sixth angel poured out his bowl, of perhaps the wine of God on the Euphrates River which symbolically dried up as did the river when the Medes and Persia conquered the original Babylonian empire.

As can be seen in Revelation 16:12 there are some lessons that may be gleaned, such as:  1.  The angel sent by God to pour out the bowl is the cause of this conflict between the Kings and the progenitors of Mystery Babylon.  2.  The Kings of the East are divinely appointed by God.  3.  Mystery, Babylon will lose this conflict and will be eliminated.  4.  The people of the world, particularly Christians should have no fear of the Kings of the East as the USA government appears to have.

The three main heads, or seats of power, of present day Mystery, Babylon are:  Rome, the seat of the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church; London, the location and central headquarters of the Rothschild banking system;  and Washington DC, the governmental and military center of the Zionist, Israeli, Edomite, Khazarian, superpower control.  All three of these locations have oppressed the world in various ways.

During the tenure of Ronald Reagan, the old Soviet Union (USSR) collapsed during the early 1990’s.  This redrew the map of Eastern Europe and Asia and allowed the rise of the new Russia.  This new Russian country essentially did away with communism and is now considered an Orthodox Christian state.  Through wise finances, they have completely rebuilt their military, their economy, their food production, and have mostly eliminated the Rothschild banking system.

In 1998 Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote a book entitled, The Grand Chessboard, in which he outlined America’s foreign policy strategy for the future which can be view here: http://www.takeoverworld.info/Grand_Chessboard.pdf

Brzezinski’s vision was for the USA to emerge as the world’s sole superpower.  An excerpt from his book reads as follows:

"The last decade of the twentieth century has witnessed a tectonic shift in world affairs. For the first time ever, a non-Eurasian power has emerged not only as a key arbiter of Eurasian power relations but also as the world's paramount power. The defeat and collapse of the Soviet Union was the final step in the rapid ascendance of a Western Hemisphere power, the United States, as the sole and, indeed, the first truly global power." (p. xiii)

He is basically saying that a non-Eurasian power i.e. the USA government and military, would be in control of Eurasia, essentially Russia, for the first time in history.  This was his ultimate goal, and also that of the USA puppets such as the Clintons, Graham and McCain (and many others).  He also warned that a loss of control by his USA puppets “would produce massive international instability” and possibly “global anarchy”.

"America's withdrawal from the world or because of the sudden emergence of a successful rival - would produce massive international instability. It would prompt global anarchy." (p. 30 of the above pdf)

Brzezinski’s book also speaks of the vast oil and natural gas reserves in Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan (and others) which were former USSR Republics.  He desired the USA, i.e. the Zionist Israeli stooges, to be in control of these reserves to “ensure that no single power, i.e. Russia or China, comes to control this geopolitical space.”

"It follows that America's primary interest is to help ensure that no single power comes to control this geopolitical space and that the global community has unhindered financial and economic access to it." (p. 148 of the above pdf)

It must be understood that Brzezinski is no loyal citizen rooting for the USA and its people.  When he says “global community”, he is actually referring to the Zionist, Jewish, Israeli, Rothschild one world government which is a division of Mystery, Babylon if not the majority.

As a continuation of his rant Brzezinski states:

"America is now the only global superpower, and Eurasia is the globe's central arena.  Hence, what happens to the distribution of power on the Eurasian continent will be of decisive importance to America's global primacy and to America's historical legacy." (p. 194 of Brzezinski’s pdf)

This bold plan may have had some chance of success if the USG and their allies had invaded and militarized Eurasia and the eastern Middle East at the time of the breakup of the USSR and when China was much weaker than it is now.  However, that opportunity is now gone and the USA could never win that conflict when Russia and China are so near to that area of the world.

"That puts a premium on maneuver and manipulation in order to prevent the emergence of a hostile coalition that could eventually seek to challenge America's primacy." (p. 198 of Brzezinski’s pdf )

"The most immediate task is to make certain that no state or combination of states gains the capacity to expel the United States from Eurasia or even to diminish significantly its decisive arbitration role." (p. 198 of Brzezinski’s pdf)

The bottom line is, the US had to “make certain” that a coalition between Russia and China is unable to diminish US oil and gas interests in Eurasia and now there is definitely a coalition between Russia and China.  Notwithstanding, the USG warhawks, of which Trump now appears to be involved with, continue to demonize Russia for no reason and have paid terrorists operating in Syria and Iraq.

The Role of Ukraine
Brzezinksi considered the role of Ukraine to be extremely important in his strategy for the USA to retain control of Eurasia.

“Ukraine, a new and important space on the Eurasian chessboard, is a geopolitical pivot because its very existence as an independent country helps to transform Russia. Without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be a Eurasian empire. Russia without Ukraine can still strive for imperial status, but it would then become a predominantly Asian imperial state, more likely to be drawn into debilitating conflicts with aroused Central Asians, who would then be resentful of the loss of their recent independence and would be supported by their fellow Islamic states to the south. China would also be likely to oppose any restoration of Russian domination over Central Asia, given its increasing interest in the newly independent states there. However, if Moscow regains control over Ukraine, with its 52 million people and major resources as well as its access to the Black Sea, Russia automatically again regains the wherewithal to become a powerful imperial state, spanning Europe and Asia. Ukraine's loss of independence would have immediate consequences for Central Europe, transforming Poland into the geopolitical pivot on the eastern frontier of a united Europe.” (p. 46 of Brzezinski’s pdf )

It seems that Ukraine was a determination of Russia being either a complete Asian power or a Eurasian one.  The USA, under Jewish control, completed the Kiev coup.  Putin desired to become a European state, but the USA treated him as an enemy instead.  Thus, Putin strengthened his ties to China and the East.  Victoria Nuland destroyed Ukraine for the Zionists and Brzezinksi, with John McCain and his ilk right in there with the best or worse of them.

Brzezinski redefined his thesis written in The Grand Chessboard with an article entitled, Toward a Global Realignment, which was published on April 17, 2016.  His new analysis tells us that the US government’s attempt to contain Russia and China has failed.  They have risen in spite of America’s attempts to suppress them economically, isolate them politically, and surround them militarily. The kings of the east have risen, and now, says Brzezinski, the US needs to ally with one of them in order to maintain global stability. He may be signaling that the doctrine of confrontation is now being modified to one with a measure of cooperation and partnership, where the USA Zionist controlled government is willing to share the world stage as an equal partner, rather than as a dominant boss.

The USA is possibly stronger than either Russia or China separately, but a China-Russian alliance creates an entirely new superpower that demands US cooperation, not confrontation.

Because “The United States… is no longer the globally imperial power,” Brzezinski sees “a new global realignment” coming.

Brzezinski continues, saying,

“First, America can only be effective in dealing with the current Middle Eastern violence if it forges a coalition that involves, in varying degrees, also Russia and China.”

A “coalition” must be forged. Right now, a coalition already exists between Russia and China. Brzezinski is suggesting that if the US is to survive the new alignment, it will have to destroy that coalition by inserting itself into the equation. Either make peace with Russia or China and use this new coalition against the odd man out.

This is truly a major shift in the world that reflects Bible prophecies regarding the fall of Babylon to a coalition of “the kings from the east” (Revelation 16:12). The main difference is that in ancient times these kings overthrowing Babylon were from Media and Persia, whereas today they are Russia and China, overthrowing Mystery Babylon.

The New Silk Road By Stephan Jones
In past centuries, whoever controlled the high seas controlled the world, not only through warships, but mostly because of the economic benefits of world trade. But with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 came a new push to build the infrastructure necessary to ship good cheaply BY LAND from Europe to China. Thus, whoever controls that LAND suddenly gains a geostrategic advantage, not by warships, but by peaceful trade agreements.

So a new “Silk Route” is developing. Centuries ago the Silk Route was an overland trade route from the Mideast to China. Today it is about roads, pipelines, and railroads. In the long-term, it threatens to replace ships as the primary means of transporting traded goods throughout Eurasia.

It was this “threat” that Brzezinski sought to avert by trying to contain Russia and China and thereby prevent them from developing this infrastructure. More recently, as the article above says, Brzezinski admitted that the US had failed to stop Russia’s development. He also said that the only recourse that the US had left was to make an alliance with either Russia or China and then use that alliance against the odd man out.

Well, that is not working so well either, because both Russia and China know the US motive, and the US has already destroyed whatever trust there may have been in the past 20 years. At the beginning of the 21st century, Russia’s Putin tried very hard to be America’s friend, but he was rebuffed, insulted, and “contained,” according to the Brzezinski Doctrine. The US government finally destabilized Syria and backed a political coup in Ukraine as a last-ditch attempt to implement the Brzezinski Doctrine.

So Putin made friends with China. It is now too late for the US to try to break apart that Russia-China alliance. The infuriated US government, which claims to be doing all this warmongering for the benefit of the American people and to maintain the American Empire (Babylon, really), continued to treat Russia as an enemy. If anyone in government has any Russian contacts, he is whipped by the government-controlled media. The American people need to know that Russia could have been our friend, had it not been for the US government’s adherence to the Brzezinski Doctrine and to its ambition to maintain economic control of the world.

Here is an article about the latest success of the modern Silk Route. Merchants can now ship goods by train from London to China.

The first freight train to link China directly to the UK arrived in the eastern Chinese city of Yiwu Saturday after covering over 12,000-kilometres (7,500 miles), making it the second-longest route in the world.

The journey is the latest effort in China's drive to strengthen trade links with western Europe along a modern-day "Silk Road" route.

The world's top trading nation launched the "One Belt, One Road" strategy in 2013, and has since poured millions into constructing vast infrastructure links.

Who is an Overcomer (Elect)?



WHO IS AN OVERCOMER?

The Jubilee
The Jubilee year was called every fifty years and was a time for forgiveness.  It stood as a reminder of God's providence and mercy.  The dedication of a year for this emphasis provided the community with a time to come back into right relationship with one another and with God. 

It was a season of total forgiveness and the complete evisceration of all debts:  legal, monetary, and criminal.  All land was restored to its rightful owner; all slaves and indentured servants due to unpaid debt were set free with no recurring penalties for that particular debt.  There is just one problem with the Jubilee – it was never honored or enacted by the Israelites of Canaan.

Leviticus 25:10 NET  So you must consecrate the fiftieth year, and you must proclaim a release in the land for all its inhabitants. That year will be your jubilee; each one of you must return to his property and each one of you must return to his clan.

An Overcomer
The translation of any Greek or Hebrew Biblical word to “overcomer” is not found in the scriptures.  A better word that is easily understood is “forgiver”.  An overcomer is essentially a person who forgives or lives by the principles and standards of the Jubilee as written above.  It is a person who is living or growing up into the Kingdom of God which is the laws and standards of Jesus Christ.  It is one who is coming into a state of maturity in Him. An Overcomer is putting on His Father’s mind and is coming to agree with what God does in the earth and how He accomplishes those goals. He is learning to say “Amen” to all that God does, bearing witness to Him in all things, and not disagreeing with Him. An Overcomer is one who is coming to understand the Father and His ways.

We cry out to God for mercy, knowing the total inadequacy of any personal righteousness or ability to hear His voice as we should.  We desire the authority of God only as a tool to better serve others, to have a greater ability to bring the blessings of God to the needy in the world.  It is not authority we seek, but responsibility.  The authority He gives is only a means to an end. Reputation is something we do not aspire to attain, for we have found that this is the first step toward pride that God must remove in order to teach us to serve God first.

God teaches the Overcomers that personal reputation is not needed to enable us to spread the Gospel.  Obedience is more important than reputation or performing good works, although good works are things to aspire.  One must learn that God is totally in control of all things and that He does not really need us to do His work.

The Elect
The word “elect” is used in sixteen cases within the New Testament, seven times in the Gospels by Jesus Christ although some are parallel examples. 

Use of the word “Elect” by Christ
but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
they shall gather together his elect from the four winds
And shall not God avenge his own elect

Word Study Dictionary:
eklektós; fem. eklektḗ, neut. eklektón, adj. from eklégō (G1586), to choose, select. Chosen, select. In the group of three important biblical words, eklektós, eklégō, and eklogḗ (G1589), choice or election, selection involves thoughtful and deliberate consideration.

The apostle Peter places a different wrinkle on the word Elect (eklektos).  The NET translation gives the following:  who are chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father”, replacing the word elect with the word “chosen”.  Many versions use the word “chosen” and others don’t use either word.

For now, we will consider the words “elect and chosen” to be synonyms.  Then is added “according to the foreknowledge of God”.  In my personal manner of thinking, nothing occurs that is not the foreknowledge of God.  God knows everything from the beginning to the end before it ever happens.  He is not surprised and never off guard.

1 Peter 1:2 KJV  Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

Some associate foreknowledge with predestined which means to determine in advance as many did the unsuccessful election of Hillary Clinton.  However, with God, the definition is somewhat different.  With the foreknowledge of God, it may only appear that certain events are predestined because they are foreknown with complete accuracy.  As Romans 8:29-30 reveals, God foreknew the Overcomers or the Elect and therefore He could predestinate them to be conformed to the image of His Son.  Of course, all that is written in these two verses were foreknown in the mind of God from the moment of creation.

Romans 8:29-30 KJV  For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.  (30)  Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

The time prior to the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ may be shorter than we think.  To be an elect Overcomer it is necessary to learn to be a forgiver and that is not always an easy task.  It is my opinion that only the elect Overcomers of the present and of past ages will be participants in the first resurrection.  The others who are alive at the time will be allowed to live during the Millennium although they will eventually die to be part of the second resurrection.  Those written in the Book of Life will perhaps be given a few symbolic stripes and then be glorified.  Others may be given additional symbolic stripes or retained as a slave under the Godly tutelage of a glorified Overcomer until the “Jubilee of all Jubilees” occurs.  This is the metaphoric symbolism of the “Lake of Fire” which is the judgment of the “fire of God’s Law”.  God’s Law is fire.  God appeared as fire to Moses.  The Lake of Fire is the fire of God’s judgment and the fire of God’s Laws.

Contrary to popular American belief, not everyone with a church membership will be raptured (harpazo / gathered up).  Having the salvation provided by Christ is the first step but will not necessarily result in rapture.  Obtaining the down payment of the Holy Spirit as in the upper room during the Acts is the second step but will not necessarily result in rapture.  Having a forgiving nature, trusting that God is always in control, and growing in the character of Christ until His appearance is the final step and should result in being gathered up as the elect of God.

The rapture (Latin translation of the Greek word Harpazo) will not result in a mass of individuals being whisked away to Heaven forever.  They may be in the presence of God for 8 days but their purpose is to be the priests and rulers on the earth under the leadership of Christ.
