Connecting the Dots Behind the Curtain

CONNECTING THE DOTS BEHIND THE CURTAIN?

There is an interesting piece running around the internet that someone has put together. Other than Lisa H. Barsoomian, the connections are true. Indeed, the characters in the play are all incredibly connected and it certainly appears that there is a deep and dark conspiracy against Trump. But this is not against Trump simply because they do not like him personally. This is about removing an outsider from Washington. These are just the tip of the iceberg.

The New Yorker has revealed part of the conspiracy has been highlighted by a memo which has surfaced from an Obama aid who set up a war room to undermine Trump and his foreign policy. They are managing much of the media. A new report from The New Yorker reveals some details of a “conspiracy memo” that has been circulating behind the curtain for the past year. What seems to be operating is a massive campaign to actually disrupt the Trump Administration and prevent it from actually managing anything. This is far worse than pretend Russian hacking. This is a real covert ops to prevent the opposition from doing anything and this undermines the government – not just Trump. This is very strange and may be one reason in the years ahead we face a civil war.

Indeed, there is a lot more going on behind the curtain than people realize. Don’t forget, it was Lois Lerner who abused the IRS to target conservative groups who wanted to drain the swamp before Trump. Lerner argued that her testimony should be sealed and that she feared for her life if everyone she targeted using the IRS found out. She was given full paid leave from the IRS on May 23, 2013. In May 2014, Lerner was declared in contempt of Congress in connection with the invocation of her Fifth Amendment not to testify on the matter before a congressional committee. So she took the 5th claiming it might criminally expose here, and then Comey declares she committed no crime and would not prosecute her.

You have to understand that refusing to reform is why John Boehner was forced out of the Republicans. There was an internal revolution when the Tea Party was elected and this is who was targeted by Lerner. The revolution against Boehner took place because he tried to keep the status quo. Lerner used the IRS to go after the Tea Party and many believe that Boehner was behind that as well. He did remove every Congressman from any financial committee if they supported the Tea Party or Ron Paul. I know some of the people he retaliated against. When the Tea Party people arrived in Washington, Boehner told them they would vote how he directed. They said no way. They were elected for real reform. This is why Trump is where he is. This draining the swamp began before him. Boehner was retaliating against the same people Lerner targeted. Coincidence?

Connecting some dots

Here’s what it looks like when all the pieces are sewn together. It smells like conspiracy and treason. Everyone needs to read this. Slowly, and patiently, because it’s very important……

From 2001 to 2005 there was an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation.

A Grand Jury had been impaneled.  Governments from around the world had donated to the “Charity”. Yet, from 2001 to 2003 none of those “Donations” to the Clinton Foundation were declared. Now you would think that an honest investigator would be able to figure this out.

Look who took over this investigation in 2005: None other than James Comey; Coincidence? Guess who was transferred into the Internal Revenue Service to run the Tax Exemption Branch of the IRS? None other than, Lois “Be on The Look Out” (BOLO) Lerner. Isn’t that interesting? 

Guess who ran the Tax Division inside the Department of Injustice from 2001 to 2005?

No other than the Assistant Attorney General of the United States, Rod Rosenstein.

Guess who was the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation during this time frame?

Another coincidence it was Robert Mueller.

What do all four casting characters have in common?  They all were briefed and/or were front-line investigators into the Clinton Foundation Investigation. Another coincidence, right?

Fast forward to 2009….

James Comey leaves the Justice Department to go and cash-in at Lockheed Martin.

Hillary Clinton is running the State Department, official government business, on her own personal email server. The Uranium One “issue” comes to the attention of the Hillary. Like all good public servants do, supposedly looking out for America’s best interest, she decides to support the decision and approve the sale of 20% of US Uranium to no other than, the Russians.

Now you would think that this is a fairly straight up deal, except it wasn’t, America got absolutely nothing out of it. However, prior to the sales approval, no other than Bill Clinton goes to Moscow gets paid 500K for a one-hour speech; then meets with Vladimir Putin at his home for a few hours.

Ok, no big deal right? Well, not so fast, the FBI had a mole inside the money laundering and bribery scheme.

Robert Mueller was the FBI Director during this time frame? Yep, He even delivered a Uranium Sample to Moscow in 2009.

Who was handling that case within the Justice Department out of the US Attorney’s Office in Maryland? None other than, Rod Rosenstein. And what happened to the informant?

The Department of Justice placed a GAG order on him and threatened to lock him up if he spoke out about it.

How does 20% of the most strategic asset of the United States of America end up in Russian hands when the FBI has an informant, a mole providing inside information to the FBI on the criminal enterprise? Very soon after; the sale was approved $145 million dollars in “donations” made their way into the Clinton Foundation from entities directly connected to the Uranium One deal.

Guess who was still at the Internal Revenue Service working the Charitable Division? None other than, – Lois Lerner. Ok, that’s all just another series of coincidences, nothing to see here, right?

Let’s fast forward to 2015.

Due to a series of tragic events in Benghazi and after the 9 “investigations” the House, Senate and at State Department, Trey Gowdy who was running the 10th investigation as Chairman of the Select Committee on Benghazi discovers that the Hillary ran the State Department on an unclassified, unauthorized, outlaw personal email server. He also discovered that none of those emails had been turned over when she departed her “Public Service” as Secretary of State which was required by law. He also discovered that there was Top Secret information contained within her personally archived email.

Sparing you the State Departments cover-up, the nostrums they floated, the delay tactics that were employed and the outright lies that were spewed forth from the necks of the Kerry State Department, we shall leave it with this…… they did everything humanly possible to cover for Hillary.

Now, this is amazing, guess who became FBI Director in 2013? None other than James Comey; who secured 17 no-bid contracts for his employer (Lockheed Martin) with the State Department and was rewarded with a six million dollar thank you present when he departed his employer? Amazing how all those no-bids just went right through at State, huh?

Now he is the FBI Director in charge of the “Clinton Email Investigation” after of course his FBI Investigates the Lois Lerner “Matter” at the Internal Revenue Service and he exonerates her. Nope…. couldn’t find any crimes there.

In April 2016, James Comey drafts an exoneration letter of Hillary Rodham Clinton, meanwhile the DOJ is handing out immunity deals like candy. They didn’t even convene a Grand Jury!

Like a lightning bolt of statistical impossibility, like a miracle from God himself, like the true “Gangsta” Comey is, James steps out into the cameras of an awaiting press conference on July the 8th of 2016, and exonerates the Hillary from any wrongdoing. Do you see the pattern?

It goes on and on, Rosenstein becomes Asst. Attorney General, Comey gets fired based upon a letter by Rosenstein, Comey leaks government information to the press, Mueller is assigned to the Russian Investigation sham by Rosenstein to provide cover for decades of malfeasance within the FBI and DOJ and the story continues.

FISA Abuse, political espionage….. pick a crime, any crime, chances are…… this group and a few others did it:

All the same players.

All compromised and conflicted.

All working fervently to NOT go to jail themselves

All connected in one way or another to the Clinton’s.

They are like battery acid; they corrode and corrupt everything they touch. How many lives have these two destroyed?

As of this writing, the Clinton Foundation, in its 20+ years of operation of being the largest International Charity Fraud in the history of mankind, has never been audited by the Internal Revenue Service.  Let us not forget that Comey’s brother works for DLA Piper, the law firm that does the Clinton Foundation’s taxes.

The person that is the common denominator to all the crimes above and still doing her evil escape legal maneuvers at the top of the 3 Letter USA Agencies? Yep, that would be Hillary R. Clinton.

Now, who is LISA BARSOOMIAN? Let’s learn a little about Mrs. Lisa H. Barsoomian’s background.

Lisa H. Barsoomian, an Attorney that graduated from Georgetown Law, is a protégé of James Comey and Robert Mueller. Barsoomian, with her boss R. Craig Lawrence, represented Bill Clinton in 1998. She was a former assistant U.S. attorney and represented various people in government only from that position.

… Additionally, Lisa Barsoomian has specialized in opposing the Freedom of Information Act requests on behalf of the intelligence community. Although Barsoomian has been involved in hundreds of cases representing the DC Office of the US Attorney …

It’s a cover, no big deal right? What does one more attorney with ties to the US intelligence community really matter?  It deals with Trump and his recent tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum imports, the border wall, DACA, everything coming out of California, the Uni-party unrelenting opposition to President Trump, the Clapper leaks, the Comey leaks, Attorney General Jeff Sessions recusal and subsequent 14 month nap with occasional forays into the marijuana legalization mix …. and last but not least Mueller’s never-ending investigation into collusion between the Trump team and the Russians. Clapper and Comey admitted that they were even spying on Trump during the election.

Why does Barsoomian …  merit any mention?

BECAUSE….

She is Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s WIFE!

Resurrections, Rapture, & The Kingdom

RESURRECTIONS, RAPTURE, AND THE KINGDOM

8/26/2018

The Parable of the Ten Virgins

Matthew 25:1-13 NET "At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. (2) Five of the virgins were foolish, and five were wise. (3) When the foolish ones took their lamps, they did not take extra olive oil with them. (4) But the wise ones took flasks of olive oil with their lamps. (5) When the bridegroom was delayed a long time, they all became drowsy and fell asleep. (6) But at midnight there was a shout, 'Look, the bridegroom is here! Come out to meet him.' (7) Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. (8) The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.' (9) 'No,' they replied. 'There won't be enough for you and for us. Go instead to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.' (10) But while they had gone to buy it, the bridegroom arrived, and those who were ready went inside with him to the wedding banquet. Then the door was shut. (11) Later, the other virgins came too, saying, 'Lord, lord! Let us in!' (12) But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, I do not know you!' (13) Therefore stay alert, because you do not know the day or the hour.

1   "At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.

Note that the first verse identifies the background of this parable by stating that it concerns the Kingdom of Heaven, which is Matthew’s version of saying “the Kingdom of God” which appears in the Gospel of Luke.  This parable will give us information concerning where the Kingdom of Heaven (or God) will reside and what group of people will be allowed at the wedding banquet of the Kingdom.

Prophetically speaking, the bridegroom is Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, and the bride will be those included within the first resurrection.  The future bride is symbolized in this parable as the prepared maidens with adequate oil for their lamps.

Revelation 19:7 NET Let us rejoice and exult and give him glory, because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.

The word translated as “virgin” is defined as a maiden or as an unmarried daughter in the Strong’s dictionary. 

      (2) Five of the virgins were foolish, and five were wise. (3) When the foolish ones took their lamps, they did not take extra olive oil with them. (4) But the wise ones took flasks of olive oil with their lamps.

The ten maidens are divided into two groups:  the foolish and the wise.  All ten had a lamp but the foolish maidens did not bring extra oil.  The wise maidens had predetermined that extra oil might be necessary and they had it in their possession.  The oil, the lamps, and particularly the extra oil are figurative elements of spiritual preparation.  The wise represent spiritually prepared believers and the foolish maidens represent believers with inadequate afterthought for the things of God and the teachings of Jesus Christ.

The Two Resurrections

3)   (10) But while they had gone to buy it, the bridegroom arrived, and those who were ready went inside with him to the wedding banquet. Then the door was shut. (11) Later, the other virgins came too, saying, 'Lord, lord! Let us in!' (12) But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, I do not know you!' (13) Therefore stay alert, because you do not know the day or the hour.

All the maidens dozed off and were awakened when the announcement came that the bridegroom was at a short distance.  The lamps of the foolish had run out of oil and they asked for oil from the wise which was denied them because the wise only had enough for the event.  The foolish left to get more oil but when they returned the door was shut and would not be reopened.

These two groups of maidens (i.e. wedding banquet guests) symbolize the two resurrections and the believers who will participate in those two resurrections.

Qualifications of an Overcomer

The virgins or maidens with an ample supply of spiritual preparedness will experience the first resurrection as the elect; overcomers; or saints of the most High God as named in Daniel 7.  As noted in previous posts an overcomer is a forgiver who agrees with God in all matters.  They are as obedient as possible to the laws of God and the teachings of Jesus Christ by submitting to the will of God, and agreeing with His will.  They are not haters but display unconditional love for everyone, and they are in complete and total agreement with the ways, the will, and the love of God.

The nations of today desire peace and justice. They have had enough bloodshed and injustice. They long for leaders that rule by love, rather than by fear.  Agreement with God is not a lesson that can be learned as it is a state of being in which we walk by nature.

The believing Christians with a short supply of spiritual attributes will not experience the first resurrection but will be required to wait until the White Throne Judgment at the second resurrection which will occur at the end of the Millennial Kingdom of God (or Heaven). If they are relatively young and alive at the beginning of the Millennial, they will live a pleasant life with many advanced medical benefits and advanced scientific mechanisms but they will not be “gathered up” (i.e. raptured) to rule with Christ as will those selected for the first resurrection.

The phrase, “I tell you the truth, I do not know you”, may sound somewhat harsh but it can be interpreted as “You don’t qualify as one of the elect but in time you will sanctified and inherit a glorified body.”

In Matthew 7:21-23, Jesus issued the same statement concerning the future fulfilled Kingdom.

Matthew 7:21-23 NET "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the kingdom of heaven -- only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. (22) On that day, many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, and in your name cast out demons and do many powerful deeds?' (23) Then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you. Go away from me, you lawbreakers!'

Similar to the five virgins with insufficient oil, Jesus will metaphorically say to those questioning their lack of inclusion in the first resurrection, “I never knew you”.  Although the questioning group were somewhat spiritual according to their claims of prophesying, casting out demons, and other deeds, they apparently lacked some of the qualifications to be considered an elect overcomer.

The Location of the Kingdom

By creating a man separate from a woman, God also created the need for marriage in order to bring the two back into a new type of unity.

Genesis 2:22-24 then shows us HOW this unity was to be accomplished:

²² And the LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. ²³ And the man said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man." ²⁴ For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

Note especially that it is the man who is to leave his father and mother. This is a prophetic statement, specifically applicable to the Last Adam as He comes to claim His bride. The bride does not return to heaven with the bridegroom.  Christ must leave His Father (Yahweh) and Mother (El Shaddai) and come to earth to be united to His wife (i.e. the elect Church). (This is not to imply that Yahweh and El Shaddai are separate gods; they are simply male and female manifestations of one God. The distinction has to do with the way we relate to God, rather than a personal difference.)

In the parable, it is evident the bridegroom came to the wedding feast of his future wife.  The maidens (and others) came out to meet the bridegroom and escort him to the feast.  They did not follow the bridegroom back to his starting location.  Therefore, Jesus Christ will leave the heavenly realm and come to earth to the home of the bride. It is NOT the case that the bride must leave her father and mother and go to heaven to the home of her Husband.

When Paul speaks of Christ's coming, He speaks of believers meeting Him in the air to escort Him to earth, but not of the believers going to heaven as their final home.  The major purpose of creation and of history is for heaven to come to earth, for Christ to manifest Himself in earth, and for the glory of God to fill the earth.  It is to establish the Kingdom of God upon the earth, not to destroy the earth and set up a kingdom in heaven even though Matthew calls it “the Kingdom of Heaven”.  The final result is for earth to be the kingdom in a heavenly manner, or a “heaven on earth”.  His purpose is to bring forth spiritual flesh that manifests the glory of God, of which Moses was a type and Jesus our example.

The disciples saw Jesus walking upon the water in their direction. Peter asked if he could walk out to Him and was given permission. Peter’s slight tinge of doubt caused him to begin to sink but Jesus reached for him and pulled him up. They then both went to the boat, not back to the original point from which Jesus had come.

Matthew 14:31-32 NET Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?" (32) When they went up into the boat, the wind ceased.

The apostle John adds some interesting information.  When Jesus entered the boat it was instantly transported to Capernaum. 

John 6:21 KJV  Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.

This method of instant transfer is similar to that of Phillip after baptizing the Ethiopian eunuch.  These two examples should not be considered a type of rapture but as a description of the type of relocating ability that overcomers will possess as they reign during the age of the Kingdom of God.  The overcomers, like the boatload of disciples, will have the permanent ability to translate from place to place at will, even as Jesus could do after His resurrection.

Acts 8:39 NET Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away…..

They will be able to travel at the speed of thought from one part of the earth to another or between heaven and earth (i.e., between the spiritual dimension and this physical universe).

The story itself has allegorical meaning. Jesus ascended the "mountain" to pray, or to make intercession for us (Heb. 7:25). Meanwhile, He sent the disciples ahead of Him into the coming storm. In other words, the disciples were sent into the world, where they would experience tribulation and persecution at the hand of the political and religious systems of the world. Then Jesus came to them in the middle of the lake, walking on the water. This signifies His position of authority over all the nations, for Revelation 17:15 says that the waters represent "peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues."

Overcomers are Christian believers who do not fear the wind and waves and are willing to walk through it and, like Peter, walk upon it.
