A horrible incident took place in New Zealand on March 15, 2019 when a man from Australia attacked a mosque. The death toll as of March 18th stands at 50. Brenton Tarrant used five guns in the attack but none of them were military-style, semi-automatics. Ironically, all the firearms were legally acquired and he went inside the first mosque and began to kill people in room after room as the Muslims were involved with Friday prayer. THINGS THAT DON’T ADD UP Brenton Tarrant worked as an instructor at a gym at the Big River Squash & Fitness Centre in the northern part of New South Wales town of Grafton in Australia. This murderer traveled to Turkey multiple times since 2016 and has “spent an extended period of time in the country,” a senior Turkish official told CNN on Saturday. He also recently traveled to Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary, Bulgarian Prosecutor General Sotir Tsatsarov told journalists, according to state news agency BTA. In 2016, Tarrant visited Montenegro and Serbia, Tsatsarov said. Tarrant is also believed to have spent time in northern Pakistan. Speaking to CNN on Saturday, the owner of the Osho Thang Hotel in Nagar, in Pakistan’s northernmost Gilgit-Baltistan region, said Tarrant had visited his hotel in October 2018. The hotel owner, who did not want to be named for security reasons, simply described Tarrant as a “regular tourist.” Tarrant had a body camera that was set to stream the killings live on Facebook as he went from room to room and shot people. He also released an 87 page manifesto on social media. QUESTIONS As I watched this story unfold, there are certain factors which do not add up. Why would a normal person plan a mass killing and record it on video, knowing that he would likely be killed? If Tarrant was caught, did he not realize the video would be used in the subsequent trial? Where did Tarrant get the money to travel extensively to a number of nations from the low income of a gym instructor? Where did he get the money to purchase the small arsenal of weapons? Tarrant claimed to be part of a worldwide white supremacist group. If this is true, who are his handlers? Why would Tarrant write an 87 page manifesto, knowing that it would be used against him in a trial if he was apprehended? Brenton Tarrant is only 28 years old and is generally referred to as a normal person who got along well with people that suddenly became a hardcore killer of Muslims. There are no records of him having problems with drugs or alcohol. He was just a normal person that did not stand out within his community. WHAT I SEE ABOUT TARRANT Brenton Tarrant was recruited by an intelligence organization that wanted tension between two factions: Muslims and non-Muslims. To carry out a suicide mission in the way he did, Tarrant must have been convinced that he was doing it for some cause. Intelligence groups often employ spiritual activities like Satanism or witchcraft. Placing evil spirits in a person, while he is being programmed in a mind control system will certainly make a person do what Tarrant did. Over the years I have noticed that any time a crime is committed, it can usually be traced back to a Satanic group or a witchcraft coven, but that fact is never mentioned in a police report and/or said aloud in court proceedings. As a result, I have no doubt that Brenton Tarrant was merely a pawn to create a horrible crime in order to drive a wedge between Muslims and everyone else. Such an atrocity always brings an outcry for stricter gun-control measures by emotional people who fail to see the evil in Tarrant and transfer their fears instead to inanimate objects like firearms. Like clockwork, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern declared all gun laws in New Zealand would become even more restrictive just hours after the shooting. The sad fact is that such massacres will continue given the depravity of humanity and politicians stubbornly fail to realize the effects of sin cannot be legislated away. Every nation already has a plethora of laws, adding more restrictions on law abiding citizens does nothing to address the root problem of sin. The end game is legislation abolishing firearms for law abiding citizens. Political leaders never address the fact that criminals will always have guns because they do not follow the laws while honest citizens are stripped of all means to protect themselves against the criminals. All such events line up with the Devil’s plan for humanity, who with his fallen angels and evil spirits are working day and night to usher in Antichrist system and pave the way for the Man of Sin to take control of the world. “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” (Revelation 13:1-18) From the Desk of John Torell March 17, 2019

We just witnessed the biggest spiritual battle ever made public in the United States. Satan has marshaled a large force of fallen angels and evil spirits to stop the Trump administration and to ensure that judge Kavanaugh was rejected as a nominee for the Supreme Court. Satanists and witches are actively fasting and praying, conjuring up evil spirits, casting spells and calling for the death of Donald Trump. At the same time thousands of Christian churches across the United States are holding prayer meetings to counter the forces of Satan and godly prayer is always mightier than a hex from witches. This is truly a fight between good and evil! Meanwhile the fighting continues in the political arena. The demonstrators that you have seen on the mainstream media in the last couple of years are being funded by a Hungarian born Jew named George Soros. He is feared in many nations because he has used his wealth to destabilize and ruin the national economy of numerous countries. He is a business magnate, philanthropist, political activist, author, and one of the world’s most successful investors. As of February 2018, he had a net worth of $8 billion after donating $18 billion to his philanthropic agency, Open Society Foundations. From the Desk of John Torell October 7, 2018

I want to share a personal story of struggle with disease and the ensuing battle along the way. My wife Aina was diagnosed with skin cancer below her left eye six years ago. We went to a dermatologist, who sent us to a doctor specializing in skin disease, who in turn sent us to a cancer specialist. After examining my wife, he told us the only solution was to remove the eye and all the tissue around the eye through surgery. Aina did not say anything and I felt numb in that examination room. I quickly prayed and then told the doctor that we were not interested in surgery. He told us it was a poor decision since the cancer would move into the eye, follow the nerve to the brain, and kill her. I began to search for a different solution to deal with the cancer and contacted a member in the church who had dedicated his life to alternative medicine. He suggested an aggressive treatment plan, which included using black salve and a number of other herbal products. I also started reading certain Scriptures during our daily devotions, but instead of dying off, the skin cancer spread even more around the eye. By April of 2016 the cancer had grown to a tumor that blocked half the eye. I decided to seek additional help and took Aina to a different hospital this time. We were referred to an eye doctor, who after an examination sent us to a skin cancer surgeon. Unlike the other doctor, he told us that the best course of action was radiation and so Aina began a series of 35 treatments a month later. TURNING TO GOD In seeking out a doctor and heeding his medical advice, we weren’t abandoning God, but using His mechanical arm of radiation. However, I felt the need to also start a spiritual battle that was more intense than what we had done previously. As I prayed and asked the Lord for direction, the Holy Spirit gave me the following plan: Begin and continue a specific spiritual warfare every morning after breakfast using Scriptures to direct our prayers. I would proclaim that the Word of God is powerful and that it will do what God wants it to accomplish.

Did you know that 45,000 Americans killed themselves in 2016? Suicide is the ultimate rebellion against God because He is the one that creates a human being and give him life. God reserves the right to set the lifetime of a human, so when a person commits suicide, it is the same type of rebellion that Lucifer committed when he rose up against God. Deuteronomy 32:39 God does not make any exceptions; mankind is not allowed to kill himself. 1 Samuel 2:6 Suicide by hanging is the cruelest way that demons set up the death of a human being. It takes several minutes to die from asphyxiation and the person dying realizes they cannot go back and undo what they have started. Hebrews 10:26-31 Jesus is the only one who can provide happiness, joy, and contentment. John 10:7-11 According to the world, Kate Spade had it all when it came to money and fame, but in reality she had nothing since she didn’t have Jesus. She ended her life prematurely at age 55. The same could be said of Anthony Bourdain, who ended his life at age 62. Many believers fear getting old, being hopelessly sick and ending up in a nursing home. Life does not have to end on a bad note; it all depends what you have been sowing. Galatians 6:7-9 While assisted suicide may be legal with mankind, it is still a sin to God and not acceptable to Him. God is supreme and we need to respect him with our life. Isaiah 45:20-23; 46:8-10 From The Desk of John Torell June 10, 2018

On February 14, 2018 there was yet another deadly school shooting, this time at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Are these events random or is someone coordinating them? If someone is indeed coordinating them, what is the end game? Who would benefit from having innocent people murdered? As soon as there has been a mass shooting, the mainstream media begins clamoring for more gun control. This is an emotional knee jerk response that does nothing because it doesn’t target the criminals perpetrating the violence. The only real effect is denying firearms and limiting the rights of law abiding citizens. You have only to examine the city of Chicago, which has the strictest gun control laws in our nation, but also have the highest murder rate in the nation. There were 771 gun murders in 2016 and another 650 gun murders in 2017. This doesn’t take into account deaths caused by knives, clubs, vehicles, alcohol, drugs, etc. It is interesting that in nations like the Scandinavian countries, there are no mass shootings in the schools. The United Kingdom, France and Germany have some mass shootings precipitated by Muslim jihadists. The general population in these nations does not own a firearm. When the criminals use a firearm to commit a crime, there are no calls for gun control, since law abiding citizens are already disarmed. Is it possible there is a sinister organization with a systematic plan to make sure the law abiding citizens should not have the right to own firearms? To answer this question we must turn to the Bible and see what will happen in the end times. TWO WORLD DICTATORSHIPS In the Book of Revelation, Jesus revealed there will be two world dictatorships. The first one will be owned and operated by the Devil and he will rule through two men, the Beast (Antichrist) and the False Prophet. (Rev. 13:1-9) THE KINGDOM OF SATAN The False Prophet will be in charge of religion (Satanism) and finances. (Rev. 13:10-18) Since Satan is not omnipotent, omniscient or omnipresent, he is forced to use fallen angels, demons and people who are willing to do his bidding. This was foretold to the prophet Daniel some 2,500 years ago. (Daniel 11:21-24; 36-39) According to the Book of Revelation, the Antichrist will rule out of Jerusalem and be the King of the Jews. (Rev. 11:1-8) God the Father sent Jesus to be the Messiah, the Redeemer and the King of the Jews. The Jewish priesthood, the religious leaders, the Pharisees, the political leaders, the Sadducees and the majority of the Jewish people rejected Jesus as their Messiah/King. (John 1:1-11; Matt. 27:1-2; 11-25) The Jews instead believed in the mystical Kabbalah and the extra-biblical Talmud and have been diligently working for some 2,900 years to prepare the world for their messiah. They were scattered all over the world since 70 A.D., and have prayed to one day get the land of Israel restored to them and take control of Jerusalem. They took the name World Zionist Organization at their first congress in Basel, Switzerland in 1897, and in the platform they adopted, the first goal was to secure the land of Palestine and Jerusalem and establish the political state of Israel. This was accomplished in 1948. The apostle John labeled the people who reject Jesus as the Messiah as followers of the Antichrist. (1 John 4:1-6) The Zionists will eventually succeed and rebuild a new temple in Jerusalem. Their false messiah will become a world dictator. (2 Thess. 2:1-12) Satan will use lies, deception, violence, terror and wars to accomplish his goal of subduing all people on the earth under the dominion of the Jewish messiah/king. (John 8:44) The Kabbalah teaches that it is up to the Jewish people to prepare and establish the political state of Israel and then to build a world system which their messiah can use and manage. THE KINGDOM OF GOD The Kingdom of God will be established by the Son of God and true Messiah. Jesus won’t use His followers (the church) to build up a political kingdom. On the contrary, Christians are to pray, lead people to salvation, cast out demons, pray for the sick, raise the dead, cure the lepers and open the eyes of the blind. (Matt. 10:1; 7-8; Luke 9:1-2; 10:1-2; 17-20; Matt.28: 18-20; Mark 16:15-20) Jesus will return to the earth with the armies of heaven and his first mission will be to take control of Israel and the city of Jerusalem. This heavenly invasion will engage the Antichrist, the False Prophet and the armies of the world and utterly destroy them in just seconds. The Antichrist and the False Prophet will be captured and taken to the Lake of Fire to begin their eternal torment; all the surviving soldiers who survived the invasion will be executed on the battlefield. Anyone who has taken the Mark of the Beast will be executed and sent to hell. (Rev. 19:11-21) Satan will be arrested and locked up for a 1,000 years in the bottomless pit. (Rev. 20:1-3) Jesus will set up His thousand year kingdom and rule out of Jerusalem. This will be the first world dictatorship under God. (Ezek. 37:21-28; Rev. 20:4-6) The first dictatorship will be Luciferian. It will enjoy a brief time of prosperity and peace but will culminate with an outer space invasion that leaves most of the world destroyed. The second dictatorship will be divine and ruled by Jesus. The Son of God will restore the earth and eliminate death. As you can see, each dictatorship will be different. The first one will be built on lies, whereas the second one will be built on truth. THE APOSTATE CHURCH When I attended Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary in Mill Valley, California from 1969-1973, I found out that most of my professors did not believe the Book of Revelation was real. We were told the apostle John wrote this book in code while imprisoned on the Island of Patmos. In order to communicate with the church in Ephesus, he wrote an allegorical write up to get a message to his congregation. Thus the Book of Revelation has no value to Christians. This is not just taught at the seminary I attended, but in all Southern Baptist seminaries, including the other theological institutions in the United States and the rest of the world. Therefore, few pastors will ever teach on the Book of Revelation and they don’t believe there is any such thing as an antichrist, a world government, mark of the Beast, etc. Most Christians don’t understand there is an evil conspiracy to take over the world. The people behind this are Zionists and they will go to any length to make sure they have a kingdom prepared for their messiah. Christians don’t read Jewish newspapers and other publications and they certainly don’t know what is stated within the Kabbalah and the Talmud. As a result, the Zionists get away with murder while Christians parrot the party line that “we must bless Israel at any cost.” Christian Zionists will become livid when anyone challenges their beliefs. There is no place in the Bible where it states that Christians are to bless Israel and the Jews, especially when they reject God. This is a blatant lie that has been repeated so many times over the last 100 years that most people believe it without verifying if it is true.

This same spirit of murder has been operating for the past few years in a number of nations around the world as thousands of Christians have been slaughtered in the Middle East, China, Vietnam, Cambodia and the many killings by Muslims in Africa. CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA, 2015 The church shooting on June 17, 2015 hit home when a 21 year old white supremacist named Dylann Roof entered a Methodist church in Charleston during a Wednesday night prayer and Bible study. He was warmly greeted by black Christians, who extended their love to him. After having been in the meeting for some time and when the people started to pray, Roof stood up, removed a gun from his backpack and began shooting the people who had done nothing other than show love to him. Nine people died that night and this young man showed no remorse at his trial. SUTHERLAND, TEXAS, 2017 On November 5, 2017, an avowed atheist named Devin Kelley prepared to visit a small Southern Baptist church in Sutherland. His purpose for going was not peaceful, with the intent to worship God, but to take the lives of the people gathered there. The church building had a single aisle down the middle of the sanctuary with pews on either side and Kelley took his time, walking up and down the aisle, calmly shooting his victims in the head. It didn’t matter whether it was an adult, child or a baby; they all died under the withering gunfire. He reloaded and went back down the aisle to see if his victims were dead, if they moved, he shot them again. As Kelley exited the front entrance to take a break, he was confronted by a man living just a few houses away from the church. Kelley was wearing body armor but he was shot in the leg and the foot. The surprised gunman let go of his rifle and ran to his car. The neighbor flagged down a man in a pick-up truck and asked for help to chase down the shooter. After several miles of a high speed chase, Kelly lost control of his vehicle and crashed. He chose to turn his gun on himself and committed suicide. TO BE ARMED OR NOT None of the church members were armed in Charleston. When the pastor heard Dylann Roof say that he was going to kill them all, he tried in vain to stop Roof and was killed instantly. He was powerless to stop this young man from shooting more church members. No one was armed in the Southern Baptist church in Sutherland. They only thing they could do was hide under the pews and play dead. When the neighbor across the street heard the shooting, he grabbed his rifle and ran out of the house barefoot to confront Kelley. As a result, some of the church members survived. Had someone in the Methodist church been armed, not as many people would have been killed before the Dylann Roof was neutralized. Had someone in the Southern Baptist church in Sutherland been armed, the outcome would also have been very different. As a pastor, I understand we are living in hard times and things are not like they were some 40 years ago when I came to Christ. As a church, we have taken steps to ensure that if someone enters our church with the intent to kill, they will be met with equal force. It is my duty to protect my congregation and I am not going to apologize to bleeding heart liberals who say we should turn the other cheek. I would like to point out that in the two church shootings I mentioned, 35 Christians turned the other cheek and were rewarded with death. Their souls are now in heaven but their time on earth was cut short. JUDGE ROY MOORE According to the Constitution, a citizen is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Roy Moore is running for a vacant senate seat in the state of Alabama. He is a hardcore conservative Christian, a defender of the Constitution, who was twice removed as a judge in Alabama for upholding the Constitution and refusing to remove a 5,280-pound granite monument depicting the Ten Commandments in the rotunda of the state’s judicial building. He is not part of the establishment and is not liked by the Republican Party. President Donald Trump endorsed Luther Strange during the primary election, and unlike Roy Moore, he received a large amount of financial support. Even though President Trump went to Alabama to campaign on behalf of Luther Strange, Moore handily won the primary election with 55% of the vote. The media all over the United States spoke about the devastating blow dealt to the national GOP leadership.

The Paris Climate Agreement was negotiated and signed by 196 countries on April 22, 2016. Susan Biniaz, an attorney working as a legal advisor for the U.S. State Department, served as the chief American negotiator. However, John Holdren, who served as an assistant to Barack Obama for Science and Technology for eight years, in reality directed the American response to the negotiations. He is known for his infamous textbook, “Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment,” published in 1970, which advocated forced sterilization and abortions, and loss of liberty. President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement on June 1, 2017. One of the major reasons for the withdrawal was that it proposed the transfer billions of dollars to third world nations, and thus in reality lowering the standard of living in the United States. Millions of jobs would have been lost, since strict enforcement on pollution would have closed many factories, while the agreement allowed China, India and a number of other nations to continue polluting for a number of years and essentially made it impossible for American companies to compete on the global market. In this video presentation I will tie in the various connections with the dismantling of the American industry, Holdren’s proposal for a planetary regime in 1970 and the latest Bilderburger meeting on June 1-4, 2017 in Chantilly, Virginia. Barack Obama diligently worked to bring the United States to the point where this nation would give up its sovereignty and join a world federation that Holdren called the “Planetary Regime.” "Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment" can be purchased from Amazon or read online.

When the British people voted to secede from the European Union (EU) on June 23rd, it was like a shot across the bow, a warning to stop and submit to the approaching naval forces. The local British leaders from the World Government do not like the voting process, but since there had been enough signatures collected to force a vote, they had to abide by the law and allow the vote to remain or leave. To fully understand the damage of the Brexit vote to the World Government, it is first necessary to examine history for the answer. THE 1848 REVOLUTIONS The Kabbalistic World Government thought that the Illuminati had prepared the ground to bring down all monarchies in Europe and form a new and united Europe under the leadership of Illuminati and Freemasonry. They began this work in 1848 and the first revolution broke out in January in Palermo, Sicily. In February a revolution broke out in the Italian provinces of Piemonte and Toscana. The Illuminati struck in the German state Baden in the same month. France was hamstrung with a revolution in February, which forced Louis Philippe I to relinquish the throne and flee to England. Vienna in Austria was struck with a revolution in March, and the Illuminati also struck Hungary in the same month. Illuminati agents unsuccessfully tried to start a revolution in Stockholm, Sweden in the month of March. There were smaller uprisings at the same time in Romania, Switzerland and Brazil. A second wave of revolutions began in 1849, but the different heads of state put down the revolutions through the use of massive armed forces. The World Government realized by 1850 that they had failed to seize control of Europe and fell back on their secondary plan of creating massive wars, causing so much destruction that the respective nations would be willing to form a European Union. As we look back to these events, it is easy to just acknowledge the result of the outcome, but we need to look at the suffering of the people living through these revolutions. The losses had been great during these two years, many political leaders had been assassinated and thousands upon thousands of soldiers and revolutionaries had been killed. Hundreds of thousands of the young people who had participated in the street fighting were demoralized, they were never able to recover emotionally and return to a normal lifestyle.

An audio and video recording was released by the Washington Post on October 7th which featured Donald Trump when he visited the set of the soap opera, Days of Our Lives. The recording was made in 2005 by Access Hollywood, a tabloid which specializes in entertainment and celebrity news. The video also featured Billy Bush, a correspondent of the show, and began with their arrival to the NBC studio and the ensuing “locker room” banter about females. Billy Bush was wearing a lapel microphone that recorded the conversation of the two men during their ride on the bus provided by Access Hollywood. You can surmise that Donald Trump did not know the microphone was recording his vulgar words and description of how he seduced women. The bus was met by actress Arienne Zucker and more inappropriate things were said before they stepped out. The initial audio recording and the video footage was archived by NBC and cataloged. All television corporations save their video footage, with archives that date back for as long as they have been in business. No one at the network remembered this recording existed eleven years later except Billy Bush. It is interesting that he happens to be member of the famed Bush family; George W. Bush and Jeb Bush are his cousins. The Bush family hates Trump because his success in the primaries denied Jeb Bush a run for the presidency. The hate is so deep that George H. W. Bush stated at a press conference that he was voting for Hillary Clinton. The Bush family is part of the "Stop Trump Campaign."

I have been following the 2016 presidential election and what I saw in the news at the beginning of March made me angry. The Holy Spirit gave me a message during the night of March 20th as I slept and then I was directed away from the sermon the next day to speak on this subject. I am not endorsing any Republican candidate but I do want to share what the Holy Spirit told me about this presidential race. I absolutely cannot support any Democratic candidate since they stand for murdering babies, homosexual marriage, more taxes and eroding the rights of Americans in the name of freedom and prosperity. Donald Trump has been a member of the Republican party for some time and when he announced his decision to run for the presidency, he registered with the Republican party and agreed to abide by the rules and regulations of the party. He even pledged to support the Republican candidate if he lost the nomination. Each candidate has the right to try to influence the voters, and according to the rules, each candidate also has the right to put out negative advertisements to sway voters, but no candidate has the right to infiltrate another candidate’s rally and disrupt it.

The past couple of months were not happy ones for millions of individuals. People living in Israel are now living under a cloud of fear like never before. They don’t know if a Palestinian man or woman will attack them with a knife when they leave their homes for work, shopping or visiting friends. This is a new type of terror because the perpetrator doesn’t care if he/she is killed in the process as long as they get to stab a Jew to death. During this new uprising, more than 90 Palestinian men and women have been shot to death attacking Jews in a knife intifada. Close to 50 Jewish men and women have died as a result of these attacks and there are even more wounded in the hospitals. The mayor of Jerusalem has gone so far as to encourage licensed gun owners to carry their weapons to increase security. Then there were the terror attacks that occurred in Paris, France on November 13th when radicalized Muslims killed 130 and injured 368 people. Just 22 days later there was another terror attack in San Bernardino, California when a Muslim husband and wife entered a public medical building and shot 14 people dead and wounded 21 others. THE KORAN – THE BIBLE OF ISLAM It is time to start calling the kettle black. Islam is not a peaceful religion. The teaching in the Koran as dictated by Mohammad in the 7th century is a mandate to conquer all nations by force and impose Sharia law, which is a militant set of laws that calls for the stoning of women who commit adultery, cutting off the hands of thieves, beheading anyone accused of insulting Mohammad and hanging people who have committed crimes against the Islamic state. The Koran allows men to have sexual intercourse with children. It is a dirty secret among American soldiers that Muslim officers and soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq routinely sodomize boys. The Koran allows men to have up to four wives at the same time and they are allowed to beat their wives if they are not submissive. Women are required to wear burkas, a bulky dress that covers them from head to toe. Girls are trained to be homemakers and denied a secular education; the majority of Muslim women are illiterate. Beheadings and hangings are carried out in public squares to instill fear and the local population is mandated to come and bringing their children to the execution. In Saudi Arabia it is common for a person to be sentenced to 1,000 lashes and receive their punishment in public. Since no one can survive that many lashes at one time, the convicted person is kept in prison until his wounds heal, and then he is taken out in the public to receive more lashes. This is repeated until he has received his full sentence. Anyone who survives the full punishment is deformed and crippled for the rest of their life. JIHAD – HOLY WAR The Koran demands that all men wage Jihad against non-Muslim nations. Mohammad declared this to be what Allah expected of his followers. Jihad has been construed by moderates as a benign spiritual struggle but the radical followers see it as their duty to use deadly force against those who oppose Allah with complete disregard for their own personal safety. A Jihadist who sacrifices his life for Allah will be instantly taken to heaven and given scores of beautiful women to pleasure him. Conversely, a Muslim is forbidden alcohol on earth but he will be given all the alcohol he wants in their version of heaven. This is what the Muslim version of heaven and eternity entails. Beginning in the 1970’s, it became popular among Palestinian Muslims to wear a belt of explosives, walk into a crowd and detonate it. The Mullahs (Muslim clerics) in the Mosques preached the virtue of becoming a suicide bomber and thousands of young men and women killed themselves in this fashion. During the eight year war between Iran and Iraq in the 1980’s, Iranian Mullahs handed out symbolic plastic keys to heaven and told the young soldiers that if they charged into the Iraqi positions and blew themselves up, they would go straight to the Muslim heaven and instantly receive promised women and alcohol. In addition, thousands of young Iranian children charged through minefields and were killed as they made secure paths for Iranian soldiers to circumvent the danger. These young boys were also given plastic keys as they sacrificed their lives for the cause of the Iranian mullahs. THE SPIRITUAL AUTHOR OF ISLAM In order to understand the radicalization of a Muslim, it is necessary to first examine this religion and founder. The spiritual author is none other than Satan who masqueraded as an “angel of light” to Mohammad in 610 A.D. in Saudi Arabia and instructed him how to set up this new religion. Satan told Mohammad that he was the angel named Gabriel. Mohammad was illiterate and had another person write down what he heard from Lucifer. “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” (2 Corinthians 11:13-15) Satan came to the state of New York in 1823 in a vision to Joseph Smith. This time Satan said that he was the angel named Moroni. Smith was also illiterate and had a person write down what he dictated and this became the book of Mormon. Smith was shot to death in jail and Brigham Young took over and led the group west to what would be Salt Lake City. Violence and murder were used by Young to establish an independent Mormon state, which later was conquered by the U.S. Army. Do you see the similarities of these two satanic religions? REJECTION OF JESUS Mohammad rejected Jesus as the Son of God. Jesus is referred to as a prophet and teacher in the Koran who failed in his mission. According to the New Testament, any person that rejects Jesus as the Messiah is come in the flesh and has the spirit of Antichrist. “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.” (1 John 4:1-3) Furthermore, any person who is not born again and has received Jesus as his personal Lord and Saviour is a citizen of the kingdom of Satan and Satan is their father. “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.” (John 8:44) “For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son…” (Colossians 1:9-13) According to these Scriptures, we can draw the conclusion that every person who is a Muslim is possessed by demons. It must be understood that every person who is demon possessed is not a lunatic, but each person who is possessed of demons has the potential to turn into raging maniac, if the demons so wishes. MODERATE MUSLIMS I am sure that you have heard the expression “moderate Muslims.” They do not read the Koran and neglect to attend Friday prayers at the local mosque. He can be likened to a secular Christian who does not pray, read the Bible and attend church. A moderate Muslim claim to be a Muslim but give allegiance to the nation in which he lives. He will behave just like backslidden Christians and participate in smoking, drinking alcohol, using drugs and gambling. They are essentially a Muslim in name only. THE RADICALIZATION OF A MUSLIM Satan mimics God and has demons ready to revive and radicalize lukewarm Muslims. Just like the Christian churches have evangelists preaching revival, there are also Muslim evangelists operating in mosques try to wake up secular Muslims through fiery preaching and turn them into fanatical followers of Mohammad. Muslims who have problems in their marriages, are hooked on drugs, pornography and alcohol are prime candidates to become revived. Once a Muslim has become radicalized, demon activity increases and the person is now ready to kill and die for Allah.

FIRE BASES IN VIETNAM When American troops began to flood the jungles of Vietnam to fight the communists from the north, it was a war that often had no battle lines. As a result, the enemy would pop up, fight and melt back into the jungle. In order to suppress the advance of the North Vietnamese soldiers, the United States built a number of fire bases upon strategic hill tops which could accurately lay down concentrated artillery fire upon request. The fire bases were located on hill tops with no roads leading to them and were shaved flat on top and heavily fortified. When combined with the steep sides and access via helicopter only, these fire bases were difficult for the Viet Cong soldiers to assault and conquer. As marine and army units fanned out to seek and engage the enemy in combat, calls were made from the ground units to the fire bases and the heavy artillery guns would begin to thunder, killing and demoralizing the communist soldiers. It didn’t take long for the Viet Cong generals to figure out that the fire bases had to be destroyed if they had any hope of winning the war. A strategy was devised where the Viet Cong soldiers were doped up on heroin and rope was tied around their arms and legs to restrict blood loss when they were inevitably shot by the hilltop defenders. The heroin would give them energy and ropes around their appendages would allow them to press forward until their bodies were drained of blood. These suicidal North Vietnamese troops would then charge up the hill like ants in an effort to overrun and silence the artillery that was causing them so much trouble. As hundreds of Viet Cong soldiers became trapped in the razor wire, their comrades would use them as a spring board to charge into the fire base. American soldiers would desperately call for air strikes to beat back the determined assault. In a few minutes the sound of screaming F4-phantom jets could be heard as they released devastating napalm on the attackers. The Viet Cong were so close that the American soldiers could see them trying to scrape the napalm from their bodies as they burned to death. GOD’S FIRE BASE IN SACRAMENTO What does this mean for us today? Well, I am an officer in the Army of God and I have been placed in charge of a fire base located in California. We have cleared ground and built a base in a rural area north of Sacramento. God has provided us with big spiritual guns that are able to hit the strongholds of Satan anywhere on earth. We are not content to sit in our fire base but we lead people to Christ, cast out demons and pray for healing of their bodies. People are arriving to be set free as we continually expose the lies of the Devil and prepare people for the coming reign of the Antichrist. I know that we have been noticed by the forces of Satan and they are doing what they can to overrun our base and remove us from the earth. THREE PRONGED ATTACK We are currently facing a three pronged attack. First, there is an issue with our water supply. The ministry is situated where there is no municipal water and our well can only supply a certain amount of water. Water is critical to human beings and it has become necessary to drill another well in order to make sure that we have the water that we need. The cost for this project is estimated to be in excess of $10k. Secondly, the Lord has blessed us financially so far this year and yet it is evident that we are experiencing an economic attack. Our regular support meets certain obligations such as salaries and regular bills but it does not cover social security taxes and the cost to replace equipment that breaks down over time with regular use. We need to have a number of additional friends of the ministry that are willing to give on a monthly basis to take care of these needs. The third attack has affected the health of the staff and members of Resurrection Life of Jesus Church. I am sure that the forces of Satan are not excluding the friends of this ministry and that you have experienced a loss of health as well. God has given each one of us a physical body to use on earth, and if it is sick, it will curtail our activities and keep us from doing what the Lord wants us to do. HELP FROM THE LORD When the soldiers met and engaged a stronger enemy during the Vietnam War, they would call in fire support and the artillery guns would begin to thunder and strike the requested coordinates. In much the same way, this ministry is languishing and I am calling in fire support in the following areas: Fervent prayer on our behalf and fasting from time to time. Our ministry needs an additional $5,000 every month. Please don't let the amount intimidate you. Whatever you can donate to God's work matters and every gift makes a difference. Will you help keep us going at this critical time so we can continue the work of the Lord uninterrupted? Satan’s forces are piling up on the razor wire around our base, incoming fire is heavy and we need to drive the enemy off. Money will take care of physical needs and fervent prayer will bring healing to all the troops who are wounded by the enemy. Thanks for responding. Yours in Christ, Pastor John S.

The generation that lived through the Great Depression and fought in World War II was also deeply affected by the Pentecostal revivals that swept through the United States from the 1920’s. It was this generation, whom I will call the first generation, which sent its young men to defeat Nazi Germany and the Imperial Empire of Japan. A mighty move of the Holy Spirit was active when some 12 million American soldiers returned from the war and millions of them came to Christ through the Billy Graham crusades, the tent revivals of Oral Roberts and A.A. Allen, the healing meetings of Kathryn Kuhlman, the conventions by Demos Shakarian’s Full Gospel Businessmen International Fellowship, thousands of Baptist and Pentecostal evangelists, and on the college campuses by Youth For Christ and Bill Bright’s Campus Crusades. THE BABY BOOMERS When the American soldiers returned from war, millions of them married, some of them had to postpone being married. Something unusual takes place after a major war; more babies are born than normal. If we look through history it is a phenomenon that has been repeated for thousands of years and it is an act of God, when He replaces soldiers and civilians who have died in war. Thus the children born after 1945 and up to 1960 became known as the “baby boomers.” The baby boomers were the second generation and led a completely different life than their parents. The economy was in high gear after the war and millions of couples purchased homes in the sprawling suburbs that sprouted up all over the United States. The first generation could afford to purchase automobiles, and in the early 1950’s, television became a staple in every home in America. As the second generation became teenagers, Hollywood and the music industry took advantage of the fact that they had money to spend. Drive-in movie theaters became popular and rock-n-roll swept the nation. This second generation was raised on television and became bored with church; the result was a rash of teenage pregnancies, increased use of alcohol and nicotine, and the beginning of the drug epidemic. Then came the Vietnam War (1962-1975) which affected 2.7 million men and their families when they came home traumatized from the horrors of war, drug addicts and strung out on sexual perversions since the government entertained them during the breaks in fighting at the whorehouses of Vietnam, Japan, Hong Kong and Thailand. Nearly 10% of the baby boomers spent at least a year in the meat grinder war in Vietnam. More than 50,000 were killed and the suicide rate among the survivors from the war was higher than those who had been killed on the battlefield. In the late 1950’s the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) introduced LSD to young people around the United States. LSD was the drug of choice when the hippie movement began in the late 1960’s. It seemed like most of the young people were going to be destroyed, but God intervened with a mighty awakening that became known as the Jesus Movement. Hundreds of thousands of hippies were saved, baptized in water and filled with the Holy Spirit. Los Angeles was the point of origin and Chuck Smith was the pastor who had the vision and wisdom to reach out to these young Christians. The Calvary Chapel denomination came out of this great move of God. As the Jesus movement crested, another Holy Spirit movement started which became known as the Charismatic Movement. One of the principle persons in this move of God was an Episcopal priest named Dennis Bennett. He announced in 1960 that he had been baptized in the Holy Spirit and consequently was asked to resign from the 2,500 member church in Van Nuys, California that he pastored. After exposure from television and newspapers, he relocated to Seattle, where he became the pastor for yet another Episcopal church. Harold Bredesen was an American Lutheran priest. He was baptized in the Holy Spirit in 1946, and when the Charismatic movement took off in the 1970s’, he became one of its leaders and introduced Pat Robertson and Pat Boone to the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The Charismatic movement had become infiltrated by the Roman Catholic Church in the 1980’s. A number of television evangelists took advantage of the charismatic movement and started to fleece the flock. The television evangelists during this golden age were Pat Robertson, Paul & Jan Crouch, Jim & Tammy Bakker, Robert Tilton, Kenneth Copeland, W.V. Grant, Larry Lea, Jimmy Swaggart and many others. Americans were turned off from Christianity because of these evangelists and turned their attention to New Age gurus. Paul Crouch was disgraced as a homosexual and paid out millions to silence his sex partner, Jim Bakker committed adultery with Jessica Hahn; he had also homosexual encounters and was sent to prison for financial wrong doings. W.V. Grant was sent to prison because of financial mishandling and the rest were disgraced because of sexual immorality and financial misconduct. The Charismatic movement was over by the end of the 1980’s. Despite the abuse of trust and power by the prominent televangelists, millions of baby boomers from the second generation were saved and joined churches across America and kept the faith going. However, the third generation of children did not fare well. During my years as a pastor, I worked with the second generation and sadly many of them started out strong when they embraced the Gospel and witnessed to people around them with enthusiasm. Only a few had lasting power and one of the saddest cases was that of a man named Stuart who came to be set free from horrible demonic oppression.

The demons of war have struck again and this time the crew and passengers of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, en route from Amsterdam, Holland to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I believe it was shot down by a Russian BUK missile on July 17, 2014 as the plane was flying over Eastern Ukraine.[1] The BUK missile system is a Russian mobile platform requiring a multi-person crew to operate. There is a war in Eastern Ukraine, as Russia has been arming and supporting pro-Russian separatists living in Ukraine to rebel against the Ukrainian government. These Russian rebels are trying to take over Eastern Ukraine and merging it with Russia just as previously done with Crimea earlier this year. The Russian separatists have been trained and equipped by Russia, the instigator of the uprising in Eastern Ukraine. Russia has special forces that are the equivalent of the United States Green Berets and Navy Seals. These Russian special forces are not only instructing and training the rebels but they are also part of the fighting as the Ukrainian government tries to take back the eastern Ukraine. The Russian rebels shot down a number of Ukrainian air force planes in the month of June, but it was done with shoulder launched surface-to-air missiles that have a maximum ceiling of 20,000 feet. Flight MH17 was flying at an altitude of 33,000 feet, which meant that it could only be shot down by a larger BUK missile. COMMERCIAL AIRLINE FLIGHT ROUTES There are thousands of airline flights every day all over the world. Specific flight routes have been assigned to each airline company as they fly over different countries to reach their destinations. A flight plan has to be filed prior to an airplane taking off. It tells airport officials where the flight originates and every air controller of the different nations over which it will fly is made aware of it. Thus, with flight MH17, a flight plan had to be filed with controllers in Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Russia and every other nation along the flight route. Russian air controllers knew exactly when the airliner would enter Russian airspace. Since air traffic controllers are state employees, Russian Air Force command would also be privy to information about this flight over Russian air space.

The summer of 1914 was terrible as the demons of war were unleashed on the earth and the Great War broke out, which later became known as World War I. It appears that history is repeating itself as the summer of 2014 is a bad season for millions of people living in war torn nations. I want to share some highlights with you so that you can better understand the current events happening around the world. For many years I have written about a secret world government that is working behind the scenes to forge the different nations into one global political unit ruled by the Antichrist. In order to understand the events in the world today, I want to take you back in time to the year 1916 at the height of World War I. The war was being fought by the Entente group which consisted of Russia, France, England, Ireland, Portugal and Japan. Opposing them were the nations of the Central Powers: Germany, the Austrian-Hungary Empire and Italy. The Ottoman Empire had secretly joined the Central Powers in 1914. The Ottoman Empire was founded in 1299 as the Turks took control of the Middle East, North Africa and the Balkans. During centuries of warfare, the Empire lost North Africa and most of its land holdings in Europe and its glory days were gone by 1914 as Ottoman Empire had been reduced to controlling the Middle East. During the early part of 1916, British, Russian and French diplomats secretly met in Paris to draw up plans for the division of the Ottoman Empire once the war was over. A revolt had already broken out in the area now known as Saudi Arabia and a special Arab force was being led by the British Colonel, Thomas Edward Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia), to fight the Turks from the south as the British Army made its way from Egypt through Palestine. The British government had promised Ibn Saud, a tribal leader, that Saudi Arabia would become an independent nation once Turkey was defeated. [1] Ibn Saud was unaware the world government had a different plan for the Middle East. The major players at the secret meeting in Paris were British diplomat Sir Mark Sykes and French diplomat Francois Georges-Picot. The resulting discussions later became officially known as the Sykes-Picot Plan and was officially signed on April 26, 1916.

I learned to play chess as a teenager but I was never able to beat my uncles because they planned out their moves while my play was continually a reaction to their moves. Needless to say, I always lost. The government of Israel is like a master chess player and the Jewish leaders have been playing a game of world domination for more than 300 years. It took them more than 250 years before they were able to establish the State of Israel in 1948 and since that time they have been playing the game for keeps. In this video I will share how Israel has been able to neutralize every Middle Eastern nation that has opposed them. The Saudis and the small Emirates producing the bulk of oil in the Middle East are in the hands of the United States, who invaded Iraq with a coalition, destroyed its army and air force and nearly brought the country back to the Stone Age. Today Iraq is in the process of rebuilding the destruction. Colonel Gaddafi, the dictator of Libya was killed in 2011 and his armed forces were destroyed. Libya is no longer a threat to Israel. Egypt had its wing clipped and is still reeling from the revolution. Even now, Syria's armed forces are being destroyed by Syrian rebels led by the CIA, British and American special forces. A few more weeks and Syria will no longer be a threat to Israel. Iran is the only nation left, which can be likened to the Queen on the chessboard, with its nuclear weapon program just about ready. Israel has cleaned the chessboard and is now focusing on the Queen. Some 20 years ago Israel ordered a number of diesel electric submarines from Germany. One by one they have been delivered with all the latest in submarine warfare. These stealthy underwater ships have been fitted with long range missile launchers and missiles armed with nuclear warheads, of which Israel has more than 300 stockpiled. At least two submarines are on patrol in the Indian Ocean, just south of the Persian Gulf, and with a moment’s notice, they can launch their nuclear payload toward Iran, which has no defense against this threat. It is not a question of whether Israel will strike Iran but when. Remember, Israel sent its warplanes into Iraq in 1981 to destroy the newly activated nuclear power plant built by France. Israel will strike Iran with the same ferocity. The video below gives more details. Yours in Christ, July 16, 2012 Pastor John S.

During my first five years as a Christian in Southern Baptist churches, I was never told of the power Jesus gave to His disciples. The end result was that I was a victim to sickness, depression, and worse of all, I viewed myself as a loser that was just trying to hang on. When I was set free from demons and baptized in the Holy Spirit, I suddenly went from a victim to being a victorious Christian. But over the years I became like an old boat picking up barnacles and gradually began to slow down because of the drag. You will take notice if you are loaded down with 100 lbs of barnacles all at once, but if they are put on one at a time, you may not even be aware that they are even there until much later. Let me tell you about spiritual barnacles. The Devil is clever and will wear you down over a period of time. It is gradual so you don’t pay much attention to it. I realized that I had become bogged down in my Christian life and the power that used to flow in me was not there. I became real angry at the Devil when saw myself back in the old trap of being a helpless victim just trying to get along. In this short video I share how God stirred up my spirit and caused me to remember the time in 1970 when God instantly healed me of a hernia. That made me think about where my faith is today? Has Jesus changed? No, but I did. I became spiritually lazy and complacent and the Holy Spirit directed me to the Gospel of Luke and the story of the seventy others. (Luke 10:17-21) I also remembered a fantastic miracle I experienced in 1981 when I was in Finland and was scheduled to preach in Helsinki and how the Devil took away my voice. How I had to get up on the platform in raw faith without a voice and push it through until God gave me the victory on the spot. I recorded this video with an irritated red eye. After the message, I had an elder anoint me with oil and pray over me. Two days later my eye was healed; I never went to see the doctor because Jesus healed me. Have you been a victim too long? Watch this video and get holy anger against the Devil. Then join me in prayer as I break curses and come against all power of the enemy. Yours in Christ, Pastor John S.

On September 17, 2011, thousands of people came from out of the shadows and started a massive protest in the heart of New York City. I didn’t know where these people came from and the American media didn’t shed any light on it. This “occupy” movement has since spread to 900 cities in Europe, Africa, Asia and North America. The protestors didn’t have a solid agenda but seemed to bring up a number of grievances and I did not pay that much attention to it. Living in the Sacramento area, I saw on the local news programs, the hassles of the local police as they tried to disperse the occupiers. There were several things that did not make sense to me: 1. The City Council of Sacramento endorsed the movement, but at the same time declared that they could not occupy a city park during the night hours, and announced a curfew for the park at dark. 2. The protestors ignored the curfew and the Sacramento police were sent in to clear out the tents and enforce the law with many arrests. 3. Jan Scully, the Sacramento county prosecutor, made a public statement that her office would not prosecute the protestors who had been arrested and they were let go. This didn’t make sense since Scully is known as a tough prosecutor who seldom lets any arrested person off the hook. 4. This indicated to me that some unknown power was protecting the protest movement and Scully acted against the best interest of the county and her sworn oath to uphold the law. 5. After some seven weeks of protest around the United States, it is obvious that the police departments are being taxed with overtime for the officers and is creating havoc with the strained budgets of every city and county in the country. Millions of dollars are being spent to corral the protestors while the regular law enforcement of our police departments is put on the back burner. THE LEADERSHIP OF THE OCCUPY WALL STREET MOVEMENT When I started to investigate who was behind this movement, I was surprised to find another group fomented by the World Government. The leader of this movement is Kalle Lasn, an Estonian born in 1942, who currently resides in Canada, after having lived in Estonia, Germany, Australia and Japan. He is a left-wing journalist who for 20 years has worked in Canada for PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) and the Canadian National Film Board. He is also the co-founder of “Adbusters Magazine,” which is geared to disrupt and destroy consumer spending in the world. The agenda of Kalle Lasn is socialism and he has written two books to promote a classic socialistic program. His first book is “Culture Jam” and the second is “Design Anarchy.” How could an Estonian born person living in Canada suddenly create a worldwide movement in just a few weeks? ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS FOR REFORM NOW The answer to that question is another organization called ACORN which was founded in 1970 by hardcore left-wing socialists Wade Rathke and Gary Delgado. ACORN became an umbrella organization for thousands of local community groups and the official focus was on making housing available for low and moderate income families, neighborhood safety, voter registration, health care and a list of other social issues. At its peak it had more than half a million members with some 1,200 chapters in some 100 cities in the United States, Argentina, Canada, Mexico and Peru. Basically this was an organization that catered to the Democratic Party in the United States and was active in voter registration to help Barack Obama to be elected president of the United States. ACORN was secretly videotaped in September of 2009 when an undercover person asked for advice and was told how to hide prostitution activities and to avoid paying taxes. Since this organization received 10% of its budget needs from the Federal Government, it was forced to file for Chapter 7 liquidation on November 2, 2010, and on paper the organization does not exist anymore. But the former leadership had access to names and addresses of people around the United States and this was used to rally former members of ACORN into support of the Occupy Wall Street protest. When President Barack Obama was asked what he thought about the protest movement, he agreed with their demands for reform and said as the president of the United States, he was not going to enforce any laws that the protesters might break. It is also noteworthy that a number of labor unions across the United States asked their members to get out in support of the protest movement.

September 11, 2011 I was sickened when I woke up on September 11, 2011 and found that almost all television channels in the United States, including many Christian networks, devoted most of the day to commemorate the horrible event that took place ten years earlier in our nation. Many years ago I read the book, “1984,” by George Orwell, who was a British Jew that fought in the Spanish Civil War on the side of the socialists/communists. Coming back to England, he was depressed over the situation in the world, and as a Jew he had insight into the World Jewish leadership’s aspiration to dominate the world one day under a one world government and a one world religion. He brought out that truth became a lie and the lie became the truth, and since the government and the media proclaimed it, it had to be truth and the people had to believe it or they would be taken to the ministry of love and forcefully convinced that what the government said is true. STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY Any person with an engineering education knows that a high rise building with a steel structure that is hit on the top by an airplane will not compromise the integrity of the steel below it. On 9/11 the impact of the airplanes ignited the fuel and started a raging fire but that did not melt the steel beams. Most people have seen a demolition of building on television and they always collapse straight down into a pile of rubble. This is caused by explosive charges placed at key points in the structure which makes it implode and fall straight down and not damage any buildings around it. Not only did the twin towers collapse in this manner, but there was another building further away that had not been hit by an airplane that collapsed in the same fashion. CRIME SCENE Nothing is moved at a crime scene until a thorough investigation has been done. There was no investigation of the rubble from the twin towers, instead, demolition workers were brought in and crews hauled away the steel structure around the clock where it ended up in China to be melted and turned into new steel. Some pieces of the steel were kept in the U.S., so that it could be melted and reused in Navy ships as a memorial. But the bottom line is that by melting the steel beams and girders, there was no chance for an investigation to see if traces of thermite would be found in the debris. The 9/11 murder of thousands of Americans was another “Pearl Harbor” that got us involved in wars of Afghanistan and Iraq. Which begs the question, who has benefited from these two wars? It certainly was not the American people. LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU SEE FIRE At our church in Sacramento, Resurrection Life of Jesus Church, we have a member by the name of Major Reginald “Reggie” Shinn USAF (Ret) who was a navigator/bombardier on a B-26 bomber in the pacific theater during World War II. After the war he married, had a family and attended college and graduated with a Juris Doctor degree. As an attorney he worked for many years for the IRS, always making sure that the taxpayer was treated fairly. He also founded the California Pistol and Rifle Association and hosted many events in Sacramento where speakers were brought in to discuss the role the U.S. government had in oppressing the American people. In 2010 he was asked to narrate a video called “LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU SEE FIRE.” With his extensive service, first in the U.S. Army Air Corps which later became the U.S. Air Force and a doctor’s degree in law that has aided his endless search for truth concerning covert American government activities, he decided this video is truthful and tells the American people what really happened on September 11, 2001 in New York. I have personally known Reggie Shinn since 1979 and I want the viewer to know that if they trust me and this ministry, then they should have full confidence that this video is a presentation of truth that cannot be refuted. Please watch it and pray over our nation because the leadership has no scruples in murdering its own citizens to start a war.

August 21, 2011 Heavy losses are showing up on the stock market exchanges around the world during the last two weeks while the price of gold has been steadily rising every day to record highs. The commodity markets are very unstable, the price of oil is down from its high of $100 plus per barrel and the U.S. dollar is down again this week. I am going to show you that financial crashes are induced by the World Government, which exercises total control of global and national banking, sales of commodities and the setting of currency exchange rates. All banking and other financial corporations are controlled by this World Government. There is a history of crashing the economy in the United States, resulting in economic depression, recession, unemployment, bankruptcy of businesses and starvation for the poor. In the early years, the World Government wanted the United States to have a central bank that they could control but the American people didn’t want a central bank like in Europe, because they had seen enough of the Rothschild’s manipulation. The World Government declared war on the American people and created ten panics that brought the American economy into shambles. 1. THE PANIC OF 1819 2. PANIC AND DEPRESSION OF 1832 3. PANIC AND DEPRESSION OF 1836 4. THE PANIC OF 1837, CAUSING A SIX YEAR DEPRESSION UNTIL 1843 5. THE PANIC OF 1857 6. PANIC AND DEPRESSION FROM 1869-1871 7. THE PANIC OF 1873 8. THE PANIC OF 1893 9. THE PANIC OF 1901 10. THE PANIC OF 1907 It took the World Government and its puppets, the bankers, ten economic crashes to force the American people to accept a central banking system controlled by the Bank of England, which in turn was controlled by the Rothschild banking house. The Federal Reserve Act passed on December 1913. The result was that most independent farm and city banks were either crushed or bought up by the big New York banking houses. THE FINAL PUSH FOR GLOBAL CONTROL Up to 1913 each nation controlled most of its own economic development but this had to be destroyed in order to create a global economy. It was done in a series of staged crashes: The stock market crash in 1917 as the U.S. was dragged into WWI. The downturn lasted 393 days and the market lost 40.1% of its value. The stock market crisis in 1919. The downturn lasted 660 days and the market lost 46.6% of its value. The stock market crash of 1929. The downturn lasted only 71 days, but the market lost 47.9% of its value. THE DEATH BLOW CAME IN 1930 We have been told that the Great Depression began in 1929 but it really began on April 17, 1930. It would last 813 days and investors lost 86% of their investments. The stock market made a partial comeback by July, 1932, but the deep worldwide depression didn’t end until WWII began. THE STOCK MARKET CRASH IN 1937 Scandals on Wall Street and the ongoing severe depression were the reasons given as to why the stock market crashed on April 10, 1937. The market was down for 386 days and did not move upward until March 31, 1938. The market lost 49.1% of its value. THE STOCK MARKET CRASH OF 1939 Germany had been re-arming since 1936, and when they attacked Poland on September 1, 1939, the New York Stock Market crashed eleven days later. The market was depressed until April 28, 1942. The international bankers and investment houses purchased the sold off stocks, knowing full well that the military build-up in the United States would boost the profit on stocks more than 500%. The investors who sold off their stocks lost 40.4% and the market was suppressed for 959 days. THE STOCK MARKET CRASH OF 1973 The war in Vietnam was winding down and taking down the defense industry. The Watergate scandal took place on June 17, 1972, when former intelligence agents working for President Nixon broke into the National Democratic Headquarters to steal secret documents regarding the coming election campaign. The market crashed on January 11, 1973 and stayed suppressed for 694 days when it started to recover on December 6, 1974. Investors’ losses amounted to 45.1% THE STOCK MARKET CRASH IN 2000 The crash in 2000 was the year that the tech bubble burst from Internet companies who had been riding high and driving up the financial markets. It began on January 15, 2000 and the downturn lasted for 999 days and ended on October 9, 2002. Investment losses at this crash were 37.8%. During this period the 9/11 attack on the twin towers took place in 2001 and caused the United States to invade Afghanistan on October 7, 2001. With this war and the eventual war in Iraq, the U.S. again built up its war machine and money was made at Wall Street. THE CRASH AND PANIC OF 2008 The crash on September 16, 2008 was the result of the collapse of the American housing market, which began to decline in 2006. This was a typical Rothschild operation that began when banks started with low interest rates on so-called introductory rates, which would last for five years, and then the mortgage rate would rise to a very high rate. Since this was the age of re-financing, lenders would offer loans to people who did not qualify for a high mortgage rate, but could qualify for a low introductory rate. The lender would tell the borrower to refinance in five years and get a better mortgage rate. The problem was that the banks had loaned out too much money and sold subprime mortgages to raise more cash.

The debate to raise the debt ceiling for the United States has increased in crescendo since the beginning of this year and came to a boil during the month of July. Barack Obama has repeatedly warned the American people that the United States would go into default and all kind of problems would arise if the debt ceiling was not raised by August 2, 2011. He painted a dark picture where Social Security checks would not be sent out, the military would not get paid and Obama told the American people to write, call, e-mail and tweet members of Congress and put pressure on them to pass a bill that would raise the debt ceiling. What Obama didn’t tell the American people is that this crisis is man-made with a purpose. I have been doing an in-depth study of the American economy since the beginning of the Civil War in 1861 and found a common denominator of European and American Jewish bankers out of New York and London. These banking houses manipulated the American economy by giving loans at high interest rates, and then when it suited them, called in the loans and stopping lending money. The result was a financial hardship for the people living during these years. When Abraham Lincoln went to the bankers in New York to procure loans to finance the war against the South, he was told that the interest rates would be between 25-35%. Lincoln rejected these high interest loans and asked his cabinet if they could raise the money themselves. He was told that Congress had the right to issue money and that is how the Lincoln Greenbacks came into being. After the Lincoln’s assassination, the bankers forced President Johnson to call in the Greenbacks and burn them. The result was catastrophic for the American economy and at the same time the bankers refused most loans that business owners needed. There were a number of panics at the stock exchange in New York up to 1913 and tens of thousands of businesses went under and millions of Americans were unable to find work. All this pressure from the bankers was done to force the American political leadership to accept a central bank that was run by the bankers. In December 1913, one day before Christmas, the infamous Federal Reserve Act was passed and signed by President Wilson. The Federal Reserve System is a private banking corporation that consists of twelve branches. The chairman of this private corporation is appointed by the president of the United States and confirmed by the Senate. Once he is confirmed, the United States government has no power over him. The chairman and his board of directors set all interest rates in the U.S. and only they have the right to issue money. As Federal Reserve Notes are issued and turned over to the U.S. Treasury, interest is paid on this money to the Federal Reserve Banks. Very few Americans have understood this grand theft from the American people in that we no longer can issue our own money. The bankers themselves are controlled by the Jewish World Government and the breakout of World War I in 1914 had its purpose of crushing Russia and the Ottoman Empire. All the bankers made an enormous profit on this war. At the same time World Government agents fomented a rebellion in Germany and the German Empire was destroyed and replaced with a very weak republic. This opened the door for Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party to take over Germany in 1932. The goal of the Jewish Zionists since 200 B.C. has been to establish a political state of Israel. It took World War II to fulfill this dream and the State of Israel was created in 1948. A strong Christian church in the United States has hindered the World Government from taking over our nation but now the American churches are in shambles and most of the mega pastors and television evangelists have been bought and are in bed with the World Government. The bankers have tirelessly worked for the United States government to spend more money than it takes in through taxes and fees. Over time we have accumulated a huge debt that reaches into the trillions. For every dollar spent by the U.S. government, 60% comes from taxes and fees, and the remaining 40% is borrowed from bankers and foreign investors. The debt is now so large that it can never be paid back and this is precisely what the bankers have been waiting for when the interest payment consumes all the tax revenue. That will be the day that the American economy crashes and the bankers on behalf of the World Government take control of the nation to satisfy the debt we owe them. I hope that you understand the charade put on by the president, senators and congressmen; everything they do is for show and all they can hope is that the default will not come in their lifetime. God has warned us that the coming Antichrist system cannot come into existence unless it has total financial control of all nations in the world. Look at these verses and tremble: “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” (Revelation 13:16-18) Can anything be done to hold this back? Yes! Prayer, fasting and winning more people for Christ will slow down the World Government. It's up to you to take action because the ungodly people will do nothing.

Francis August Schaeffer (1912-1984) was an American Evangelical pastor and theologian. He broke with the Presbyterian Church denomination and moved to Switzerland in 1948 and wrote of the need to return to the roots of the Christian faith. In 1981 he wrote “A Christian Manifesto” to offset the effect of the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848. At that time Communism had made great inroads all over the world and Schaeffer felt the need to rebuff this evil thinking that had enslaved so many nations in the world. It also rebuked the Humanist Manifesto written in 1933 and its 1973 revision. The sad news is that American Christians never rallied around Schaeffer and as a result his ministry never took off. He wrote a number of books, Pat Robertson spoke highly of him on his program the “700 Club” and so did some other Christian leaders in the United States. Even though the majority of conservative Christians heartily agreed with Schaeffer, they never joined or supported him financially and he died of cancer three years after he wrote “A Christian Manifesto.” If Schaeffer’s writings would have been aggressively marketed in the United States, the political and moral climate would be different today but no leader can go to war without troops. God called Moses to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt but they would never have left if they had not rallied around Moses. Likewise God called David to become the King of Israel but there would have been no kingdom to rule if the people had not rallied around David. This is how I feel about the ministry God has called me to lead. There is no doubt that God has called and commissioned me what to do. A few people have rallied around me but the call needs to get out to the American people and the rest of the world. Our need for more troops is desperate if we are going to impact the world. Obviously the people who do not like me are not going to support this ministry so any support must come from people who are in agreement with me. We have seen through communication with the ministry that there are thousands of you out there and I call you my friends. Sadly, many of my friends have not seen the need to rally around me in prayer and financial support on a regular basis. This ministry is like an engine that does not have enough fuel and is sputtering and not able to do the work it was designed to do. Everybody talked about how great Schaeffer was after he died and they did the same for Pastor David Wilkerson when he passed away but why didn’t the masses of Christians rally around these men when they were alive? Am I destined to have the same fate? I pray not. I would have you rally around me when I am still alive so we can do something for the Lord rather than have you send flowers to my funeral when I can’t do anything more on this earth. Remember, it is only the living that can do the work of God on this earth. Will you rally around this ministry so that we can have an impact in the world before the Antichrist comes?

I have been warning people for some time about the judgments of God that are taking place in America. This is not a popular message, but when we study the nation of Israel as recorded in the Old Testament, we repeatedly find that God sent judgments in order for them to repent and turn from their sins. God used wars, occupation by other nations, drought and other natural catastrophes to get their attention. In the end the people of Israel failed to heed God’s warning and around 750 B.C. the ten northern tribes were taken into captivity and removed from the land. The tribes of Judah and Benjamin did not take heed and some 150 years later God sent the Babylonians who carried them away into captivity. In the last few years we have seen selective judgments on America from one coast to the other. Most severe has been the affliction of the Bible belt states because the greatest revivals occurred in these states and there is a church on almost every corner. But the people have forsaken the faith of their fathers and gone a whoring after idols and the south is dotted with casinos, whorehouses and drug abuse. Most of the pastors, elders and deacons in the south are Freemasons and worship Lucifer. The western United States has been hit with devastating fires which burned thousands of homes and destroyed much forest land. The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was an accident but God allowed it to happen to wake the people up from their wickedness. New Orleans is a sin city just like Las Vegas or San Francisco and I don’t think it was an accident that the hurricane Katrina wiped out much of that city. Then hurricane Rita hit Texas hard as a wakeup call for the people in that state. Florida has been hit with huge fires and hurricanes but no one is turning to God en masse. Devastating floods have hit the states on the east coast and the Mississippi river is currently overflowing its banks and all that people can talk about is rebuilding; there is not mention of repentance. Then came the tornadoes which have hammered the south, midwest and now New England. There is a steady stream of death and destruction from one town to another. Barack Obama flies from one disaster zone to the other and only talks about rebuilding. Where are the American pastors? Why aren’t the denominational leaders standing up and calling America to repentance? Why aren’t the Christian magazines calling for repentance? Why is there no word from the wealthy television evangelists and the mega pastors? The simple answer is that repentance must begin with me and you. In our church, we are asking God to forgive the people in America and send the gift of repentance so that they can repent because no one can repent unless the Holy Spirit moves upon them: “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.” (John 6:44) “And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.” (John 6:65) “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.” (John 16:7-11) The judgments will continue and increase in severity until we repent as a nation or are destroyed like the people of Israel. America’s preachers need to wake up and begin calling upon people to repent! There is a place in the Book of Revelation that should make you weep when one third of the world population has been killed and the rest of the people did not repent. “And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.” (Revelation 9:15-21) Are you willing to seek the Lord and start interceding for our nation? Are you willing to talk to pastors in your area to begin preaching repentance? God is waiting, what will you do? John S.

The week of April 24-30th that Pastor David Wilkerson went to be with the Lord was one of the most devastating weeks in the United States as more than 340 people lost their lives to tornados in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Tennessee. Prior to these tornadoes, there have been hundreds of them in the same states while in the Midwest severe flooding was taking place. Since the late 1970’s Pastor Wilkerson has been warning the people in the United States that judgment is coming upon this nation. During the last few years there have been a string of severe weather related disasters like hurricanes, floods and fires. When Pastor Wilkerson published his books, “The Vision” and “Set the Trumpet to Your Mouth,” he was rejected by the majority of Assemblies of God churches in America. Prior to his speaking of judgment, he was welcomed in the mega churches because he drew large crowds. But the wealthy pastors of the mega churches wanted nothing to do with a prophet who would hurt the church offerings. It hypocritical that after his death, everybody wants to get on the bandwagon and brag about how well they knew David Wilkerson and what a great preacher he was. When I saw the devastation from the tornadoes on television, a fire was kindled in me and it became clear that we need to acknowledge that what we are seeing is not a random weather problem, it is God speaking to a people who are deeply into sin. But I wanted to make sure that what I felt from the Holy Spirit was biblical so I searched the Scriptures. In Hebrews 10:26-31, the apostle Paul tells us that God will judge His people. The apostle Peter also informs us that judgment begins at the house of God. (1 Peter 4:17) There hasn’t been a nation so blessed with freedom and prosperity as the United States of America. During World War II, with more than 12 million in the armed forces, the people at home filled the churches week after week and pleaded with God to give America victory over Nazi Germany and the Imperial Japanese. God answered those prayers and the soldiers came home to a nation that was bursting with economic growth. Did the American people thank God? No. The people elected leaders that decided Bible reading and praying in public schools was unconstitutional. In 1973 the Supreme Court ruled it legal to murder unborn babies, and as of 2011, sixty million children have been killed in the abortion mills. Then the courts started to issue a number of rulings and released the scourge of homosexuality upon the American people. The entertainment producers have gone beyond violence and indecency in movies and television programming. The divorce rate in the United States is now at 60% and scores of so-called Christian television evangelists and mega pastors are divorced and remarried. Homosexuality is rampant in Pentecostal and Evangelical churches. Millions of couples live together without being married, drugs and alcohol flow freely and few men and women are virgins by the time they reach the age of 18. If God judged and destroyed the entire world population except for Noah and his family that were saved, why should God overlook America? If God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, why should he spare America? In this short message I will share what I believe God is telling us today. When President Obama toured the devastation in Alabama, all he could talk about was rebuilding. Instead of using the word rebuild, he should have used the word repent! Are you willing to be among those who are seeking the Lord and repenting for your sins and the sins of our nation? My prayer is that this message will not be just a shot in the dark, but that it will bring fruit, and that it will be repeated by other pastors in the world. Yours in Christ, Pastor John S. Torell MAY 1, 2011

In the last 40 years in which the Charismatic movement developed in the United States, some groups felt the need to return to Jewish rituals. One of these rituals is the celebration of “Seder,” which is the Jewish name for the Passover Meal that God told the children of Israel to eat while they were waiting to leave Egypt. (Exodus 12:1-14) Since Jesus was an Israelite from the tribe of Judah, He observed the laws given to Moses, and had the disciples prepare a room to observe the Passover meal. Interestingly, Jesus only selected two rituals from the Passover meal: the cup and the bread. He told the apostles that the wine in the cup represented His blood which was to be shed and the broken bread was to be His body. (Luke 22:7-20) It is important to note that Jesus told them to observe these two rituals in remembrance of Him but He never told them to continue observing the entire Passover meal! The purpose of the Passover meal was to point the people to the coming Messiah. The Jewish apostles accepted this and so did the entire Jewish apostolic church in Jerusalem. Since Jesus was resurrected on the first day of the week (Sunday), it became customary for first century Christians to observe the two rituals from the Passover on the first day of the week. (Acts 20:7) The Gentile churches accepted these two rituals and it is now called “The Lord’s Supper,” but the church in Corinth had some bad habits so the apostle Paul wrote and told them how the Lord’s Supper was to be observed. (1 Corinthians 11:17-34) These instructions have been the standard for all evangelical churches throughout the ages and the Roman Catholic Church has their own perverted version which we will not discuss at this time. A problem arose when the Lord’s Supper was not enough for some Charismatic Christians and they were lured back into Judaism. They don “skull caps,” wrap themselves in “prayer shawls,” and sing Jewish songs while they observe the entire Passover meal. In doing so they are rejecting Jesus as the “Passover Lamb” and saying he wasn’t the perfect sacrificial lamb that was offered once for the atonement of man’s sin. (Hebrews 9:14-26) The Jews holding on to Judaism have rejected Jesus as the Messiah and when Christians observe the Passover meal they are crucifying Jesus afresh! You cannot observe Jewish rituals and claim to be a Christian. Since the Jewish apostles rejected Judaism and followed Jesus into the Second Covenant, should we not do the same?
