AS THE STONE CRUSHES
The Fifth Kingdom (Stone) Is Rising To Crush the Old

Yesterday I reported the Bank
of America’s forecast that silver would soon rise to $50/oz. I have been
stating since at least as far back as 2011 that when silver passed $50/oz, it
would indicate that the “arms of silver” would eclipse the “head of gold.”
That, of course, is a reference to Nebuchadnezzar’s dream that Daniel
interpreted (Daniel 2:32). Gold represented Babylon, and silver
represented Medo-Persia, which later overthrew Babylon.
While silver is the metal of
redemption, the number 50 is a Jubilee number, indicating liberty. The big
banks, Goldman Sachs in particular, are the core of Mystery Babylon’s economy.
So I find it interesting that Goldman Sachs is trying desperately to prop up
the Fed notes by heavily shorting silver to suppress its price. A group of 6
large banks, dealing in bullion, have been suppressing the price of gold and
silver for many years in order to make the Fed note look strong, relatively
speaking.
In the current market, there
is a severe shortage of silver and gold that is available for sale. The
shortage of silver is now so acute that the premium on purchases of physical
silver is now $8-10 per oz. You can “buy” a silver promise (on paper) for about
$28/oz, but the price of real silver at a coin shop is closer to $35-38/oz.
That’s if you can get it at all.
Inflation
and Deflation: How to View It
The price of silver and gold
is not going up; the value of the Fed note is going down, so it takes more Fed
notes to buy the same amount of gold and silver. “Inflation” is coming, on
account of the trillions of new currency being created and pumped into the
economy to save it from the effects of the shutdown. When the amount of
currency in circulation exceeds the value of the country, the value of money
deflates, while the value of property inflates.
In 2008-2009 the Fed policy
under the Obama administration was called Quantitative Easing (QE), because it
sounded better than “money printing.” Trillions in new currency was created at
the time in order to bail out the big banks. But since it was given primarily
to the banks, all it did was to save the banks. The currency was quarantined in
the banks and not much of it trickled down to the streets to the average
person. Because of this, it created very little inflation.
But in 2020 a large portion
of the newly-created trillions is being given to the people on main street.
That is why this is an inflationary event, and it is why the price of gold and
silver is now rising dramatically. Rather, that is why it now takes many more
Fed notes to buy the same amount of gold and silver.
Babylon’s
Control is Collapsing
The day silver passes $50/oz
will be a prophetic time marker, I believe, in the downfall of Mystery
Babylon—financially speaking. Babylon’s main product since the creation of the
Federal Reserve Bank in 1913 is currency. They create it out of nothing and
lend it to the government at interest. By usurping control of the medium of
exchange, they control all trade and the economy of the nation. When the Fed
note became the world reserve currency in 1944, these same Babylonian bankers
took control of the entire world economy after World War 2.
That is what is now coming to
an end, now that Babylon’s mandate has expired (2017). It takes years for such
a colossal world-wide empire to be dismantled, but it is happening quickly. The
US “dollar” (Fed note) is losing its status as a world currency as the SWIFT
payment system is replaced by other systems not controlled by the Federal
Reserve Bank.
In
the first quarter of 2020, the dollar's share of trade between Russia and China
fell below 50% for the first time on record, according to recent data from
Russia's Central Bank and Federal Customs Service.
The
greenback was used for only 46% of settlements between the two countries.
Russia
and China have drastically cut their use of the dollar in bilateral trade over
the past several years. As late as 2015, approximately 90% of bilateral
transactions were conducted in dollars. Following the outbreak of the
U.S.-China trade war and a concerted push by both Moscow and Beijing to move
away from the dollar, however, the figure had dropped to 51% by 2019.
In other words, as late as
2015, ninety percent of the trade between China and Russia had been settled in
US currency through the SWIFT system. Those payments were wired through the
Fed, which charged a 4 percent fee—a tax on world trade. Such is the privilege
of being the world reserve currency. But as of 2020 that figure has dropped to
46 percent, and the Fed has lost billions of dollars in revenue for its
“services.”
To the average person, this
means very little. But everyone is affected by it. The US government, which has
been essentially a hireling of the Federal Reserve bankers, has been using the
SWIFT system as a means of control and oppression of countries that refuse to
bow to their wishes. The “sanctions” imposed on other countries mean that those
countries can no longer send or receive payments in their exports and imports.
Hence, it strangles those nations economically.
But using the SWIFT system as
a control mechanism has rattled many other countries, who see that this might
happen to them as well. For this reason, they have developed alternative
payment systems. (China’s is called CIPS.) So the heavy-handed use of the SWIFT
system as a way to punish various nations (like Iraq, Iran, etc.) has now come
back to bite the Babylonians on their “tender” spots (legal tender, of
course!).
Understand, of course, that
God is using ungodly nations to destroy Babylon. We see this especially in Revelation 17:16,
17,
where the “beast” turns on the “woman” riding it and devours her. This is
really a prophetic explanation of the fall of Jezebel, who was eaten by dogs (1
Kings 21:23). We are now seeing the “dogs” eat the great harlot of Revelation
17:1. She rides the beast until the beast turns on her, roasts her and eats
her flesh. Revelation
17:17 attributes this turn of events to God Himself, for God is sovereign
enough to make Jezebel look like a tasty morsel and to make the beast hungry
enough to eat her.
In other words, God freely
claims credit for using ungodly people to judge Babylon. God does not need
righteous people to accomplish His plans and purposes. He has use for everyone,
some as vessels of honor and others as vessels of dishonor. Everyone has his
place in the plan, whether they are aware of it or not. Most remain unaware,
but we who know the plan by studying the Scriptures and by personal revelation
are not blind to what is happening around us.
The
Stone Kingdom is Rising
Daniel indicates that the
next world empire will be the “stone”. The prophet said that it would arise as
the fifth kingdom and crush the previous four, beginning with the feet and
toes. We are privileged to live in the days of this crushing and to understand
that the chaos we now see around us is the fulfillment of this very thing. The
turmoil is not designed to hurt us or crush us but to crush that which has kept
us in bondage for thousands of years. It is God’s answer to prayer, and it is
for our good. We have no cause to fear God’s answer to prayer.
Unfortunately, many
Christians today do not see this as an answer to prayer. They see it as the
rise of the Antichrist and the rise of Mystery Babylon. For this reason, they
are afraid and place their hope in a “rapture” where they can escape this
“tribulation.” Such believers remain at a disadvantage, not knowing the
purposes of God. They see Donald Trump as the last man to defend the Israeli
state against its enemies, essentially postponing the tribulation for a
season.
Such believers can only hope
for a postponement, for that is their view of prophecy. They have no
expectation of ultimate success. Others, of course, believe that Trump is part
of the problem and is a hireling of Mystery Babylon. That view only causes more
distress, as they would think of Trump as a possible candidate for the position
of Antichrist.
Whichever view one takes,
God’s purpose will be fulfilled. The stone will either crush Trump along with
the Babylonian leaders, or God is using Trump to crush the beast system.
Neither view is going to change the outcome. God’s saints win either way.
Meanwhile, I have followed Paul’s admonition to pray for our political leaders
(1
Timothy 2:1-3). Just as I prayed for Bill Clinton, Bush, and Obama, so also
do I pray for Trump.
Jesus is the “Stone” that the
builders rejected. He is the King, and His Kingdom is also the “stone” that
replaces the various metals of the Babylonian succession of empires. After the
“little horn” phase of the fourth empire, the authority is given to the saints
of the Most High (Daniel 7:21, 22).
Scripture is silent about any transition from Babylon to the Kingdom. But then,
Daniel’s prophecies, though explicit, give only a few details and present an
incomplete picture.
In fact, Daniel’s prophecy of
the “little horn” needed supplementation in Revelation 13, where we find that
the “little horn” was to come in two phases, or beasts. The beast from the sea
(the religious phase) was to be joined by a beast from the earth (the banking
phase). John’s revelation went beyond Daniel, showing us that when the
religious beast of Rome received its fatal wound (1798), the wound was to be
healed (1804) with the restoration of the papacy. At the same time, the modern
banking system began to arise with the Rothschild banks, who were empowered by
the beast from the earth.
It is this banking system
that is now ending. More specifically, the economy and its money system is
being wrenched from the beast of the earth and, after a brief transition, will
be given to the saints of the Most High. Those taking over the system today are
acting as custodians for the Kingdom until such time as the saints are ready to
take the responsibility of ruling the world.
THE LEGAL FIGHT AGAINST BABYLON
Donald Trump’s personal
lawyer, Jay Sekulow, is a believer who has been fighting Babylon for a long
time. He also works closely with the American Center for Law and Justice
(ACLJ), which was founded in 1990 by evangelist Pat Robertson. Here is the
latest news that he sent me:
The forced silencing of
churches is deafening.
The ACLJ just took NEW direct
legal action against the ban on singing in church.
California is blocking
believers’ ability to worship as the Bible commands in Psalm 96 (“Sing to the
LORD, praise his name”). We warned you that the radical Left would weaponize the
Coronavirus pandemic to target the Church. Now, we’re fighting
back.
The ACLJ
just submitted a key filing in our MAJOR lawsuit to overturn this unconstitutional singing ban,
but we face a major challenge. We’re going head-to-head against a formidable
state government with immense resources….
For years we’ve told you that
Planned Parenthood’s founder, Margaret Sanger, was a eugenicist who believed in
creating a superior race and eradicating people she considered “inferior.”
Now one Planned Parenthood
affiliate is finally removing Sanger’s name from its clinic, but that doesn’t
erase the organization’s continued targeting of minorities. It’s time to cancel
Planned Parenthood.
Years ago Mystery Babylon found
Margaret Sanger’s eugenics program (“Planned Parenthood”) to be useful in its
own plan to reduce the world population to 500 million. Of course, none of them
are volunteering to die in support of this program. Their intention is to kill
those who are “inferior” to them. They treat people (with a Darwinian mindset)
as mere animals and believe that they are just culling the herd to improve and
protect the species. They have no conscience, nor do they really value life as
the Bible does. That is how they can kill millions of babies and feel good
about it.
In my view, all of this is to
be viewed not as the cause of divine judgment but as the divine judgment
itself. The judgment traces originally back to Adam’s sin, but later to a more
specific cause—the sin of Jerusalem. Judah’s Dominion Mandate was taken from
them after years of abusing their authority, and God gave the dominion to
Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon (Jeremiah 27:6,
7,
8).
This was a “seven times”
contract according to the law (Leviticus
26:18), a period of time that the prophets later defined as 7 x 360 years.
A century ago, God poured out
His Spirit upon the church, reviving the feast of Pentecost. The Holy Spirit
was designed to convict men of sin (John 16:7,
8)
and cause them to repent. However, the church did not repent, for they were
more interested in the benefits of miracles and healing than in changing their
lawless beliefs. Neither did they repent of their narrow application of the
principles of liberty. When the various Pentecostal movements formed
denominations in 1909-1912, they fell into the pattern of King Saul, as the
people wanted men to rule over them.
Hence, God extended our
captivity for another century and put us and the world under the dominion of
the Federal Reserve Bank in 1913. During this time, Margaret Sanger was raised
up to bring judgment upon us through Planned Parenthood and its policy of
eugenics and abortions to kill off as many “useless eaters” as possible. While
I am horrified by these things, I also recognize that this could have been
avoided, if the church had repented of its anomia, and if it had
followed the pattern of David rather than Saul.
Fortunately, God blinded the
eyes of the people so that they would submit to divine judgment. For this
reason, God only imposed upon us a wooden yoke, where we were allowed to remain
in our land and houses. (See Jeremiah
28:13, 14.) All we had to do was to pay tribute through the new
income tax (1916) that came with the Federal Reserve Bank to buy the chains
that Babylon was using to oppress us and to support the Babylonians’ lifestyle.
Under this wooden yoke,
abortions were done on a voluntary basis. This was unlike what happened later
in China, where the “one-child policy” often forced women to get abortions or
pay fines for having more than one child. But that was an iron-yoke judgment.
In America, women were allowed to volunteer to fulfill Margaret Sanger’s
eugenics program, which allowed genuine Christians to refuse to participate in
it. Only the lawless ones volunteered, either because they cared nothing for
the laws of God or they were ignorant of them, due to church teaching.
Hence, abortion is part of
the judgment of God for church lawlessness in past centuries, along with the
church’s refusal to repent when the Spirit of God was poured out in the early
1900’s. Not many believers understand this, because they do not know the law or
the prophets and have little understanding of the various ways in which God
judges the nations.
But you are among those whose
eyes have been enlightened, for you have learned (or are now learning) the ways
of God and not merely His acts (Psalm 103:7).
The Holy Spirit will come again in a massive way, and this time He will impart
TRUTH to the church, which will cause the church to repent of its anomia. This
is what will make the difference, allowing the Kingdom to be established
through the pattern of David, rather than of Saul.
