N Carlson The Identity Of The AntiChrist? The CFBC

INTRODUCTION This task before us is a bold one. Because the Rapture time is unknown many so-called prophets have made predictions as to the exact (or close estimate) date of the Rapture (Grk. Harpazw). Because the end-time has been estimated in accordance with (IAW) the re-establishment of Israel as a nation (1948 ff), it seems appropriate to estimate the times and the seasons of that tumultuous time. What are contributing factors to the Day of Jacob’s Trouble (Jer 30:7)? Please see Appendix A - 27 Biblical Characteristics of the AntiChrist. 1. The catching away in the air by The LORD Jesus The Messiah of Israel, of His Church. ! Cor 15:51-58; 1 Thess 4:13-18; 2 Thess 2:1 and 3a; and Rev 4:1 with Rev 1:9 (Grk Meta Tauta: after these things). And then 2 Thess 2:3b 2. The overall Expansion of Knowledge in this (that) generation [Da 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.] 3. The end of the Church age and the Tribulation will be characterized by leaders and people on drugs! 4. He will rise from obscurity…a “little horn” [Daniel 7:8] 5. He will not answer to a higher earthly authority; “He will do as he pleases”[Daniel 11:36]

6. The possibility of transhumanism research which has been done since Dr. John von Neumann suggested it in an unfinished book “The Computer And The Brain”. Prv 23:12 “Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.” 33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. Expositor’s Bible has: Ver. 34. — But in the midst of this fierce onslaught of cruelty they shall be "helped" with a little help. "There shall arise the sect of the Chasidim," or "the Pious," bound together by a "Tugendbund", a group of mostly senior bureaucrats, academics and clergy to maintain the Laws which Israel received from Moses of old. These good and faithful champions of a righteous cause will indeed be weakened by the false adherence of waverers and flatterers. 34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. 35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. 35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. 36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. 37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. 38 But in his estate shall he honor the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

1 N Carlson The Identity Of The AntiChrist? The CFBC 39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. 7. The Antichrist Will Not Be Heterosexual. [Dan 11:37]

There are many characteristics of the Antichrist that we cannot infer, that belongs to a certain person, however those just mentioned, above, are shown below to apply to our candidate.

2 N Carlson The Identity Of The AntiChrist? The CFBC 1. The Rapture (Harpazw: Catching Away) Of The Church. 1 Thes 4:13-18 contains what shall happen at the Harpadzw (Rapture)

1.01 What About Christ’s Second Coming(s)? The time sequence for Christ’s Second Coming(s) is/are according to the Bible as: Can be seen from Rev. 4:1 (For His Church) and Rev 19:11-21 (He comes to earth to prepare earth for His Millennial Reign.a

1.01.01 A Signless event – The Rapture of the Church (catching away) 1 Th 4:13-18, 5:4-11 2 Th 2:1-3a, Rev 4:1 1 Th 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them who are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also who sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught upb together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 TH 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that dayc should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation (final salvation - our new bodies, etc.) by our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. 11 ¶ Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. {comfort: or, exhort}

a The second coming of Christ to earth IAW Rev 19: 11-21; Acts 1:6-12; Mat 24:3-31; Mk 13:3-27; Lk 21:7-28. b αρπαγησομεθα <726> (5691) {V-2FPI-1P }: to catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force). c The Day of The LORD (In Judgment) i.e., the Tribulation period. 3 N Carlson The Identity Of The AntiChrist? The CFBC 2 Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together upa unto Him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come The Departureb a falling away first, and then that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; This verse is perhaps the most mistranslated text in the Bible, if not, then 2 Pet 3:9. The words “a falling away” , translates the Greek words h apostasia translated “a falling away” IAW Liddel & Scott suggests “departure”. This term also is articular and so should be translated “the departure”. We ask departure from what? Context is clear. “Our gathering together up unto Him”, should be our answer from verse 2:1. Apostasia, apostasia includes in its other N.T. uses what the departure is from or to. Apostasia, here, except for the article has no such destination. h apostasia, then,refers to “The departure” referred to in context. The nearest and best solution to this language problem is “the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together up unto Him,” – the Rapture of His Church! Of course the “Apostasy Crowd” will protest loudly, because the final thing that happens before the Rapture is the apostasy of the world church. To them I respond well that’s probably true, but there are other Scriptures, New and Old Testament that refer to a departure from sound doctrine, from the times of Paul until the present. But our passage in 2 Thess 2:1-3a is directly, IN CONTEXT, referring to the Departure Of The Church! Apostasy is a transliteration for the Greek word for “Departure” as has been mentioned above. To attempt to infuse a different meaning without contextual proof is terrible Hermeneutics, as well as horrid Greek!

1.01.02 A Biblical Example Of Faulty Or Purposeful Misunderstanding Of The Greek Text.

An example of this sort of tom-foolery with Greek words may be seen in the meaning(s) for the Greek word: ______<907> baptizw baptizo bap-tid’-zo from a derivative of 911; TDNT-1:529,92; verb AV-baptize (76), wash 2, baptist 1, baptized + 2258 1; 80 1) to dip repeatedly, to immerse, to submerge (of vessels sunk) 2) to cleanse by dipping or submerging, to wash, to make clean with water, to wash one’s self, bathe 3) to overwhelm ++++ Not to be confused with 911, bapto. ______The clearest example that shows the meaning of baptizo is a text from the Greek poet and physician Nicander, who lived about 200 B.C. It is a recipe for making pickles and is helpful because it uses both words. Nicander says that in order to make a pickle, the vegetable should first be ‘dipped’ (bapto) into boiling water and then ‘baptised’ (baptizo) a ημων {P-1GP } επισυναγωγης {N-AblSF } επ {PREP } αυτον {P-ASM }: our being gathered out of or up unto HIM. b η αποστασια πρωτον: The Departure first (Liddel & Scott Greek English Lexicon- unabridged 4 N Carlson The Identity Of The AntiChrist? The CFBC in the vinegar solution. Both verbs concern the immersing of vegetables in a solution. But the first is temporary. The second, the act of baptizing the vegetable, produces a permanent change. When used in the New Testament, this word (baptizw) more often refers to our union and identification with Christ than to our water baptism. e.g. #Mr 16:16. ‘He that believes and is baptized shall be saved’. Christ is saying that mere intellectual assent is not enough. There must be a union with him, a real change, like the vegetable to the pickle! (Bible Study Magazine, James Montgomery Boice, May 1989). Fortunately there are two other N.T. Greek words that may used for contacting water: SPRINKLE, POUR, or IMMERSE? - From the LXX Notice these words are color coded, below. Lev 4:17 (AV) And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, even before the vail. 17 (LXX) kai baqei o iereuv ton daktulon apo tou aimatov tou moscou kai ranei eptakiv enanti kuriou katenwpion tou katapetasmatov tou agiou 18 (AV) And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before the LORD, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 18 (LXX) kai apo tou aimatov epiyhsei o iereuv epi ta kerata tou yusiasthriou twn yumiamatwn thv sunyesewv o estin enwpion kuriou o estin en th skhnh tou marturiou kai to pan aima ekceei prov thn basin tou yusiasthriou twn karpwsewn twn prov th yura thv skhnhv tou marturiou This is a classic contextual case where we have the Greek words for to dip, to sprinkle, and to pour contained in two verses of the LXX – Lev 4:17-18. In the short synopsis, below, these word groups are explored by simple word studies to indicate their use in the New Testament, and why only one of the word groups should be used for the ordinance of Baptism.

1.01.02.01 Baptw/Baptizw, To Dip/Immerse: ______<911> baptw bapto bap'-to a primary word; TDNT-1:529,92; v AV-dip 3; 3 1) to dip, dip in, immerse 2) to dip into dye, to dye, colour Lu 16:24, Joh 13:26, Re 19:13 ______<907> baptizw baptizo bap-tid'-zo from a derivative of 911; TDNT-1:529,92; verb AV-baptize (76), wash 2, baptist 1, baptized + 2258 1; 80 1) to dip repeatedly, to immerse, to submerge (of vessels sunk) 2) to cleanse by dipping or submerging, to wash, to make clean with water, to wash one's self, bathe 3) to overwhelm ______

1.01.02.02 Rantizw, To Sprinkle: B. And Sprinkle: ______

5 N Carlson The Identity Of The AntiChrist? The CFBC <4472> rantizw rhantizo hran-tid’-zo from a derivative of rhaino (to sprinkle); TDNT-6:976,984; v AV-sprinkle 4; 4 1) to sprinkle 2) to cleanse by sprinkling, hence to purify, cleanse Heb 9:13, Heb 9:19, Heb 9:21, Heb 10:22 ______

1.01.02.02.01 Rantizmos, The Noun Form - Sprinkle: ______<4473> rantismov rhantismos hran-tis-mos’ from 4472; TDNT- 6:976,984; n m AV-sprinkling 2; 2 1) a sprinkling (purification) 1a) blood of sprinkling 1a1) i.e. appointed for sprinkling (serving to purify) Heb 12:24, 1Pe 1:2. ______

1.01.02.03 Ekxew, To Pour. ______<1632> ekcheo ek-kheh’-o or (by variation) ekchuno ek-khoo’-no from 1537 and ε cheo; v; TDNT- 2:467,220; {See TDNT 228 } AV-pour out 12, shed 4, shed forth 1, spill 1, run out 1, shed 5, run greedily 1, shed abroad 1, gush out 1, spill 1; 28 1) to pour out, shed forth 2) metaph. to bestow or distribute largely ______

1.01.02.04 A Conclusion. I hope this presentation will convince you that: 1. Using the transliterated word Baptize in local churches for sprinkling or pouring water on ‘empty heads’ to somehow perform the rite of baptism is unbiblical, grammatically unsound, and a Hermeneutical disgrace. 2. The main point of the above arguments is that the church has made serious errors in its use of transliterated words to cover our ignorance of Hermeneutics and Greek Grammar or worse, knowingly and for whatever the reason(s) developed unbiblical concepts that hinder us lay folks and even pastors from truly understanding important portions of the Word of God.. So then, after the rapture, comes the revelation of the man of sin.

Let us now look at the magnum NT example of the times of Anti-Christ from the Book of The Revelation of our LORD Jesus, the Messiah. We first look at the Harpazw (The Reapture)

Most people don’t know that the Book of the Revelation contains its own Table Of Contents. This is perhaps due to background, education level, poor Church teaching, which are excusable, or unfortunately, an improper regard to contextual interpretation by those who should know better. In the Book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ, in Chapter 1, and verse 19 is the author’s outline of the book.

He never speaks to the Church again because we are with Christ in the Glories. Only in a concluding paragraph (Rev 22:17) does He speak with the Church. Re 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. Re 11:11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

Re 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Re 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, Re 22:17 And The Spirit and The Bride (i.e., The Church) say, Come.

1.01.05 The Catching Away (Of Believers)-And The Biblical Use Of ἁρπάζω harpazo, In The NT This Harpazw was a mystery to the 1st Century Church at Corinth (1 Co 15:51), so Paul tells them of this ‘Catching Away’ of the Church.

Note: this very Idea, the Woman (Israel giving birth to Israel) occurs in Isa 66:7ff. Most commentators place the church in that Isa. passage, however: The church is Not Israel and Israel is Not the churcha. This is true ONLY for practitioners of that despicable habit of allegorism! To quote Sir Robert Anderson in his book, The Coming Prince, PG 158 fn; “No one of Daniel’s visions, indeed, has a wider scope. Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel treat of Israel (or the ten tribes); but Daniel deals only with Judah” ” A reading of Rev 12:1 is: “1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: {wonder: or, sign}”. The crown with twelve stars is clearly representative of Israel. Verse 6 then substantiates this when it says: “6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.” This is the time period of The Great Tribulation, The last half of Daniels 7 Weeks (years).

NEC} 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not precede them who are asleep. {prevent: or, come before, or, anticipate, or, precede} 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up {<726> . ά harpazw} together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. {comfort: or, exhort}

The CFBC that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. 17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them? {by: Heb. by the hand of} 18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face. 19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; 20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. {steep…: or, towers, or, stairs} 21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother. 22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD. Ez 39:1 ¶ Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: {leave…: or, strike thee with six plagues: or, draw thee back with an hook of six teeth} {the north…: Heb. the sides of the north} 3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. 4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. {sort: Heb. wing} {to be…: Heb. to devour} 5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. {the open…: Heb. the face of the field} 6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD. {carelessly: or, confidently} 7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel. 8 ¶ Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken. 9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years: {handstaves: or, javelins} {burn them…: or, make a fire of them}

15 N Carlson The Identity Of The AntiChrist?

Thus shall they cleanse the land. {Hamonah: that is, The multitude} 17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. {unto…: Heb. to the fowl of every wing} {my sacrifice: or, my slaughter} 18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan. {goats: Heb. great goats} 19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD. 21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. 22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward. 23 ¶ And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword. 24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them. 25 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;

16 N Carlson The Identity Of The AntiChrist?

1.01.07 The Tribulation according to 2 Th 2:3b-17 – 3:1-5. This terrible time, when the earth (Except for Jews and their converts) is ruled by the man of sin, the Anti-Christ, is what the Church escapes because of Christ’s coming in the air, the Rapture. 2 Th 2:3b and then that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 13 ¶ But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, 17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work. 2 Th 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: 17 N Carlson The Identity Of The AntiChrist?

(tou {T- GSM} ponhrou {A-GSM}: “the evil one”) 4 And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. 5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. It should be obvious, now: we aren’t waiting for anti-Christ but for the coming of Christ for His Church.a

1.01.09 The End Of The Tribulation - The Return Of Christ With His Bride (The Church). And now we come to the portion of the Revelation where The LORD Jesus returns to earth with His bride, the Church, who left with Him (in the air) in Rev 4:1. Rev 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: 2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. 3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. 4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. 5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. 6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. 7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. {That’s us folks!!!!! NEC} 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness’s of saints.a {white: or, bright} 9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING oF Kings, AND LORD oF Lords. 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; a A sermon title comes to mind. “Bekini Believers at the Bema”!!!! 15 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. 19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. Is Paul preaching comfort (1 Th 4:18 ), to the Church, for those who are going thru the Day Of Jacob’s Trouble? I think not!! Note: 2 Pe 2:9, and Ro 2:5-11. These verses tell explicitly that Believers will escape God’s day of Wrath and Judgement! 2 Pe 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: Ro 2:5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; 6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: 8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; {Gentile: Gr. Greek} 10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: {Gentile: Gr. Greek} 11 For there is no respect of persons with God.

In order to clarify our reasoning on the subject of Anti-Christ, we appropriate what the Bible teaches about this person. The 70th week of Daniel is split into 2 parts, the last 1080 days (360 * 7/ 2)) is called by Mal 4:5 “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:” See also Ma 9:14, 17:11-12 . As Sir Robert Anderson stated: {The Apostle} “St Peter’s words at Pentecost afford another illustration. Joel’s Prophecy shall yet be realized to the letter. But yet the baptism of the Holy Ghost (Spirit) was referred to by the inspired prophet the prophet who was carried along by the Holy Spirita Joel 2:28-32; Acts 2:16-21.” The word Inspired (inspiration) is never used in the Bible applied to a man. It is only applied (English) (but twice), once to the understanding Gods breath gives to man to understand (Heb. & LXX Job 32:8) and again (2 Ti 3:16) to the text that the Prophets wrote 2Pe 1:21 For <1063> the prophecy <4394> came <5342> (5681) not <3756> in old time <4218> by the will <2307> of man <444>: but <235> holy <40> men <444> of God <2316> spake <2980> (5656) as they were moved <5342> (5746) by <5259> the Holy <40> Spirit <4151>. {in old time: or, at any time} ______<5342> ferw phero fer'-o a primary verb (for which other and apparently not cognate ones are used in certain tenses only, namely, oiw oio oy'-o; and enegkw enegko en-eng'-ko; TDNT- 9:56,1252; v AV-bring 34, bear 8, bring forth 5, come 3, reach 2, endure 2, carry 1, misc 9; 64 1) to carry 1a) to carry some burden 1a1) to bear with one's self 1b) to move by bearing; move or, to be conveyed or borne, with the suggestion of force or speed 1b1) of persons borne in a ship over the sea 1b2) of a gust of wind, to rush 1b3) of the mind, to be moved inwardly, prompted 1c) to bear up i.e. uphold (keep from falling) 1c1) of Christ, the preserver of the universe 2) to bear, i.e. endure, to endure the rigour of a thing, to bear patiently one's conduct, or spare one (abstain from punishing or destroying) 3) to bring, bring to, bring forward 3a) to move to, apply 3b) to bring in by announcing, to announce

1.01.10 The 2Th 2:3 Not Yet, Or Rapture First Then The Tribulation. Note the use of the word Anti-Christ in the NT. The Bible provides many passages that will identify this character (or the one who has none; character that is.) We can define the word, ‘Against Christ’, logically as: ______500 τ ριστος antichristos an-tee’-khris-tos from 473 and 5547; n m; TDNT-9:493,1322; {See TDNT 850 } AV-antichrist 5; 5 1) the adversary of the Messiah and His people Rev For Synonyms see entry 5890 ______And below, the NT verses that clearly identify those who characterize the Anti-Christ, and The Anti-Christ, Himself. 1Jo 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 1Jo 2:22 Who is the liar but he who is denying that Jesus is the Christ? He is thea antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 1Jo 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ has 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. 2Jo 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Notice this last verse states that everyone who declares that Jesus Christ is coming in the flesh is a deceiver and an antichrist. This is probably a warning against those holding Gnosticb beliefs. Notice the comfort enjoined in the two epistles to the Thessalonians: ______<3870> parakalew parakaleo par-a-kal-eh'-o from 3844 and 2564; TDNT-5:773,778; v AV-beseech 43, comfort 23, exhort 21, desire 8, pray 6, intreat 3, misc 4, vr besought 1; 109 1) to call to one's side, call for, summon 2) to address, speak to, (call to, call upon), which may be done in the way of exhortation, entreaty, comfort, instruction, etc. 2a) to admonish, exhort 2b) to beg, entreat, beseech 2b1) to strive to appease by entreaty

Dr. Earl Radmacher has written a profound and succinct article for Moody Monthly concerning Christ’s coming for His Church as a Signless Event, which we include below: 1.02 Signs Of A Signless Event by Earl D. Radmacher, Th.D.? by Earl D. Radmacher Any comments by the editor are listed in {Brackets}.

In January:,.'1963, a well-known Bible teacher in Southern California, titled an article "Jesus Will Come in 1968." He began with the statement, “It is my sincere conviction that the return of Jesus Christ to earth is immediately at hand." He then went on to say that the greatest sign of air is "the miraculous transformation of the tiny nation Israel into a world power in six days."

Three years later on April 17, 1971, the Minneapolis Star carried a review of a book, God, History and the End of the World, in which Kenneth Aune, the author, claims that in March, 1990, will come the battle of Jerusalem, the return of Jesus Christ and the battle of Armageddon.

A popular author and conference speaker repeatedly declares that we are in "this generation" of Matthew 24:34. He believes the "paramount prophetic sign" is that Israel had to be a nation again in the land of its forefathers. This condition was fulfilled, he claims, on May 14, 1948. After stating that a "generation" is about forty years, he contends adamantly that we are in the last generation before Christ comes., though "we may be twelve or thirteen years away."

Still a fourth spokesman, a seminary professor and author, whi1e disclaiming date-setting, says, on the basis of Matthew 24:14, that Christ cannot come until the task of evangelizing the world has been completed. Thus, .in essence, he is saying that Christ cannot come for His Church today.

What are we to make of all of this? Does the Scripture give any signs by which the coming of Christ for His Church can be dated? Absolutely not! Nowhere in the Bible is the Church told to watch for even one sign relative to what is commonly known as the rapture.

The point has not gone unnoticed by critics of the dispensational view. "In no respect is the inconsistency of dispensationalists more glaringly apparent,'" says the amillennial theologian, Oswald Allis, "than in their persistent efforts to discover signs of the nearness of an event which they emphatically declare to be signless." This charge was made in his book, Prophecy and the Church, and if it bothered him in 1945 when he wrote, it would bother him much more today in the face of all the messages and books on the "Signs of the Times.” 21 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

Before seeking to clear with Dr. Allis' charge, I must hasten to point out that, while this seeming inconsistency may be found in the presentation of some dispensationalists, it is by no means necessary or inherent in dispensationalism as a whole.

The charge brings into focus two areas of truth: the prophetic signs that precede the second coming of Christ to earth to set up His kingdom and the imminent, or any-moment, return of Christ for His raptured Church. Dispensational students of prophetic Scripture understand these two events to be separate and distinct. The second advent is preceded by signs (cf. Matt. 24:3), but the rapture of the Church is without any necessary signs and may, therefore, occur at any moment.

Stanley El1isen, in his forthcoming book on prophecy {3 WORLDS in CONFLICT, Multinomah Publishers, Sisters, Oregon, 1998, pg. 255 ff.}, carefully states this distinction: "It is evident that He [Jesus} only spoke of signs that will announce His return in glory to reign over the earth. No signs, as such, were promised to notify the Church before He comes in the air and the 'blitzkrieg' of tribulation begins, in this sense, then, we live in a 'signless' age, that is, a period of prophetic silence. The Church age is an un-prophesied age, both with respect to Old Testament predictions and New Testament signs. The Church today is simply told to 'wait for his Son from heaven' (1 Thess. 1:10)."

This attitude of waiting expectantly and momentarily for our Lord while continuing to work and witness is certainly in keeping with the dual emphasis in Luke 19:11- 27 and Acts 1:6-11. It is simply not in the scope of the believers' responsibility to foresee the time of their Lord's coming, for He said plainly to the disciples who asked concerning the time of the restoration of the kingdom to Israel, "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority" (Acts 1:7, New International Version). This was reasonable inasmuch as neither that first generation of the Church, nor future members, would be on earth at the time of the countdown for the second coming of Christ to establish His kingdom.

In spite of this specific warning against date-setting, however, the practice has been common ever since the heavens received our Lord. Even in the first century Paul had to correct misinformation that had been spread "saying that the day of the Lord has already come” (2 Thess. 2:2, NIV). a

Centuries later, using the septamillennial theory as a basis, Augustine calculated that the end of human history would be about A.D. 650. John Walvoord notes: "The year 650 came and went with no notable events to fulfill the promise in a {The first date setting occurred early for our LORDS first coming, in Gen 4:1 where the 3:15 prophecy was ‘attributed’ to her first son, Cain! NEC} 22 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

Augustine's teaching. Attention was soon fastened on the year A.D. 1000. The belief was widespread that the second advent would occur on this date. As Kromminga points out, not only at the year 1000 but also in the year 1044, and again in 1065, there was hope that the second advent would occur on Good Friday when Good Friday happened to coincide with the Day of Annunciation (March 25, the day accepted as the time Gabriel made the announcement to Mary)." Another well-known date was 1843, the year set by William Miller, forerunner of the Millerites, or Adventists, in his work entitled Evidence from Scripture and History of the Second Coming of Christ, about the Year 1843. His conclusion was obtained by taking the days of Daniel 8:14 to mean years. When this didn't eventuate, one of his followers., Samuel S. Snow, changed the date to October 22, 1844. In The Chaos of the Cults, Van Baalen goes on to explain how after both 1843 and October 22, 1844, had gone by with the return of the Lord) Hiram Edson, a Millerite, in the state of New York, "saw a vision. . . from which he concluded that Miller had been right as to the time mentioned by Daniel, but wrong as to the place; " The Daniel prophecy, he concluded referred to "a cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary." This teaching was the beginning of Seventh-Day Adventism. As we have entered the twentieth century, the popularity of date-setting. has increased. In 1911, the well-known prophetic speaker, I, M. Holdeman, pastor of First Baptist Church Qf New York, published a message, "The Signs of the Times," in which he declared that the increase in armaments, spiritual declension of the church, appearance of false teachers, Israe1's return, earthquakes and famines all tell us that the hour is ripe for the moment when the Lord shall descend and gather His Church to Himself," One highly respected evangelical leader in a book written in 1926 said: "! have been studying with Interest. . . the prophetic writings of . . . diligent students of the Bible, . . . Of all. . . those who have undertaken to work out the chronological forecast, there is not one who sets any date beyond 1934. The earliest suggested by these writers is 1928." He then went on to state his conclusion: "If our chronology is correct, it means that all these things, including the Great Tribulation, the revival of the Roman Empire, the reign of the Antichrist and the Battle of Armageddon, must take place before the year .1.933." Even such a fine prophetic teacher as W. E. Blackstone, in his book, Jesus Is Coming (first printed in ., 1898 and sold in the millions) couldn't resist the urge to put in a final chapter entitled, "The Signs of Christ's Speedy Coming." He precedes the elaboration of the seven signs with the statement, "Now we are to

23 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

consider what are the evidences for also believing that His coming, the rapture, is near." It is particularly disappointing that he includes this inasmuch as under the chapter, "The Time," he has this fine statement: "And first let us make a clear distinction between the time of the rapture and the time of the revelation. The principal thought in regard to the former is that it may happen now. Nothing is given us in Scripture so definite as to form a sign of or date for the rapture. We are to be always watching and waiting for it, and expecting it at any moment. "It is true that the Church may see the ‘fig tree signs' begin to come to pass before she shall be taken out of the world to escape the tribulation. But these signs are of such a nature, especially the 'wars and earthquakes. . . distress of nations.. sea and waves roaring,' that the Church in each of the past eighteen centuries might consistently have believed that the signs were beginning. "So we have no date for the rapture," Blackstone concludes, "only that it will precede the revelation-that is, that Christ will come for His Church before He comes with His Church, the period of the tribulation lying between the two." Obviously, the failure to see fulfillment in 650, 1000, 1044, 1065, 1843, 1844, 1911, 1933 and many other designated dates has been embarrassing and damaging. But we do not seem to learn from our experience: Dates continue to be set! Signs are still mistakenly linked with the rapture. It is interesting to note that the oft-repeated title, "The Signs of the Times"a appears only once in the Scripture (Matt. 16:3) and, in its context, it has nothing to do with signs for determining the second coming of Christ. Rather; the Pharisees and Sadducees were asking for signs as, Jesus' credentials as Messiah. Jesus condemned this request as hypocrisy in view of the authenticating signs already given. Thus, He said "there shall no sign be given. . . but the sign of the prophet, Jonas." Clearly, then, the phrase, "the signs of the times," referred to the signs of Christ's first advent. Another passage often appealed to is Christ's Olivet Discourse (Matt. 24-?5). Once again, it is most important to note the context. Specifica1ly, the question is not concerning "the signs of the times ,” but "the signs of thy coming and of the end of the age." Therefore, as Douglas MacCorkle says, “. . . the subject is the consummation of the age and not the course of the age" (Prophetic Peaks of Decree, Desolation, and Deliverance: Exposition of the Olivet Discourse). Thus, the signs that are often appealed to in verses 4-7 cannot legitimately be used as a characterization of the course of this age. Why? These are the birth pangs of the nation Israel after the rapture. MacCorkle rightly observes: "Matthew 24:8 provides us with an inspired identification of the content of verses 4-7. 'All these are the beginning of birth a Dr. M. R. DeHahn, Book By That Title 24 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

pains.' This identification tells the character of the period. If these verses are misplaced in the course of an age, then we have Israel in travail for an age. A birth is certainly in view." In other words the seventieth week of Daniel 9:27 is portrayed In verses 4-14. Between verses 8 and 9 the seven-year, seventieth week is split in half. MacCorkle again explains: "The inspired identification of verses 9-14 is found in verse 14. 'And then shall .the consummation come.' What consummation? The consummation of the age concerning which the question asked (v. 3), and whose consummation was not yet (v. 6),..because it then was only the beginning of the consummation . . . The closing birth pains of the age are quickened by a special delivering up of Israelites into tribulation." Those who relate the preaching of verse 14 to our present day are ignoring the context of the kingdom economy at the end of the age. Those who respond to the good news of personal redemption in Christ today are regenerated and baptized into the Church (1 Cor. 12:13}, but those who respond to the "gospel of the kingdom” in the tribulation (after the rapture of the Church) are regenerated and promised entrance into the earthly kingdom. Thus the use of verse 14 to say that Christ cannot ,come for His Church ignores the context and is destructive of the biblical doctrine that Christ can come at any moment for His Church. Nowhere does the Scripture place any necessary action or event before the rapture. Praise God! We could be caught up into His presence before you finish reading this article. One more verse often misconstrued in this context is Matthew 24:34: "This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." Some have assumed that He meant the generation that saw the rebirth of the nation Israel in May, 1948. They have then computed a "generation" to be forty years, and, adding this to 1948, have determined 1988 as the latest point at which Christ's return to earth can take place. This would then put the rapture no .later than 1981. In regard to this, Stanley Ellisen points out: "We should be reminded that this kind of 'date-setting is just what Jesus warned against. Furthermore, It should be noted that the 'generation' of which Jesus spoke in Matthew 24:34 is not necessarily the generation of Israel's rebirth, Rather, it is specifically said to be the 'generation' that will see the 'abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet' (Matt. 24:15, 22, 34). “That generation, under the heel of Antichrist, will experience an unprecedented devastation of genocide - but not to the point of extinction. That generation, Jesus declared, will not pass away or be destroyed, but will be sovereignly preserved in part to see the Lord's return in glory. The ‘generation' of which He spoke was not a time span, but a particular people - Israel in the time of Antichrist."

In answer to Oswald Allis, therefore, I would admit that there is a glaring inconsistency in those who preach about the signs of a signless event.. There are no signs of the times because we are not in the time of the signs. I realize that some will respond by saying that great prophetic fulfillments cast their shadows before them and that, although there are no prophecies to be fulfilled before the rapture, there are, after the rapture. The weakness of this argument, however, is that we have no idea of the length of the time period between the rapture and the first prophesied event, the manifestation of the Antichrist. Great discredit to prophecy has been brought over the- years and today by those who, even with proper motivation, seek to use the "signs of the times" to bring believers into line, so to speak. I find that I can identify very much with Robert Mounce when he says: "This approach seems to say that what is really important is to be in good shape at that particular point in time when Christ returns. . (It's the old I-don't-want-to-be-caught-in-there-when-Jesus-returns syndrome). It suggests in a veiled way that the mark we get on our ethical report card is the mark we happen to receive on the pop quiz given at the Parousia rather than the cumulative grade for the entire course." ("What If It Were Today," Eternity. February 1974). In these critical times when confusion abounds, may we be reminded that "we who teach shall be judged more strictly" (James 3:1, NIV). May we keep the balance between the "eagerly await" of Philippians 3:20 and the "occupy till I come" of Luke 19:13. Finally, This chapter ends with a table from “Muslim Evangelism”, that exposes the final player(s) in the Anti-Christ’s legions.

With the conquest of Constantinople by Mehmed II in 1453, the Ottoman state was transformed into an empire. During the 16th and 17th centuries, in particular at the height of its power under the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent, the Ottoman Empire was one of the most powerful states in the world – a multinational, multilingual empire, controlling much of Southeast Europe, Western Asia and North Africa. At the beginning of the 17th century the empire contained 32 provinces and numerous vassal states, some of which were later absorbed into the empire, while others were granted various types of autonomy during the course of centuries. With Constantinople as its capital and control of vast lands around the Mediterranean basin, the Ottoman Empire was at the centre of interactions between the Eastern and Western worlds for over six centuries. It was dissolved in the aftermath of World War I; the collapse of the empire led to the emergence of the new political regime in Turkey itself, as well as the creation of the new Middle East. 8 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, namely ISLAM/Babylon Will be revealed post Rapture.

2. The Signs That Accompany The Anti-Christ. This section includes those items that Biblically describe the Anti-Christ, and/or the age that just precedes his coming. Ref. Appendix A.

2.01 Transhumanisma "Transhumanism is an international intellectual and cultural movement supporting the use of science and technology to improve human mental and physical characteristics and capacities. The movement regards aspects of the human condition, such as disability, suffering, disease, aging, and involuntary death as unnecessary and undesirable. Transhumanists look to biotechnologies and other emerging technologies for these purposes." (Wikipedia) These could be noble goals. After all, who could be against ending disabilities, suffering, disease, aging, and involuntary death? But these philosophical and political movements of the Industrial Revolution - Marxism, Facism, Communism, and Eugenics (Positive and negative) - all had similar utopian goals. All these were designed and implemented through the Ruler of the World System, Satan, our arch enemy. However, the equating Transhumanism (Or H+ or h+ as it is abbreviated) with the powers of darkness will not make it in our badly compromised society, so we must consider what is next on the possible problems our (The USA) enemies are planning. As has been written in many articles, some by our military leaders, We are trying to move the North American Aerospace Defense Command from its present position, about 30 miles east of Colorado Springs, CO, back to its last past location beneath Cheyenne Mt. just SW of Colorado Springs, CO.b What is the reason for such a move? The possible EMP nuclear explosions from various directions, notably North Korea, IRAN, Russia, and China. The Russians have developed an EMP weapon at least 5000 times more powerful than what they used-to- have in their inventory. Just one well placed exo-atmospheric burst would fry all the power grids, electronics, (autos, microwaves, generators, etc.) for a third of the U.S. This would take us back to the 1800’s, causing vast starvation, disease, and death. Does this look like the last two horsemen of the Book of Revelation? See Figure 01.04. There have been rumors that President Obama is against moving NORAD back into Cheyenne Mt. Dr. John Von Nuemann, (December 28, 1903 – February 8, 1957) was a Jewish-born Hungarian and later American pure and applied mathematician, physicist, inventor, polymath, and polyglot. He made major contributions to a number of fields, including mathematics (foundations of mathematics, functional analysis, ergodic theory, geometry, topology, and numerical analysis), physics (quantum mechanics, hydrodynamics, and a Transhumanism: (abbreviated as H+ or h+) is an international cultural and intellectual movement with an eventual goal of fundamentally transforming the human condition by developing and making widely available technologies to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities. b Prior to moving originally to the Cheyenne Mt.

fluid dynamics), economics (game theory), computing (Von Neumann architecture, linear programming, self-replicating machines, stochastic computing), and statistics. He was a pioneer of the application of operator theory to quantum mechanics, in the development of functional analysis, a principal member of the Manhattan Project and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton (as one of the few originally appointed), and a key figure in the development of game theory and the concepts of cellular automata, the universal constructor, and the digital computer.

Von Neumann's mathematical analysis of the structure of self-replication preceded the discovery of the structure of DNA. In a short list of facts about his life he submitted to the National Academy of Sciences, he stated "The part of my work I consider most essential is that on quantum mechanics, which developed in Göttingen in 1926, and subsequently in Berlin in 1927–1929. Also, my work on various forms of operator theory, Berlin 1930 and Princeton 1935–1939; on the ergodic theorem, Princeton, 1931–1932." Along with theoretical physicist Edward Teller and mathematician Stanislaw Ulam, von Neumann worked out key steps in the nuclear physics involved in thermonuclear reactions and the hydrogen bomb.

Von Neumann wrote 150 published papers in his life; 60 in pure mathematics, 20 in physics, and 60 in applied mathematics. His last work, an unfinished manuscript written while in the hospital and later published in book form as The Computer and the Brain, gives an indication of the direction of his interests at the time of his death. i.e. immortality.

Christian Believer, Remember the Devils lie in the Garden; Gen 3:1-6. Notice Eve added to what God told them when in vs. 3c she said “Neither shall ye touch it”. Thus Satan then told a half truth based on her statement; vs. 4 Ye shall not surely die”. And vs. 4 (ASV) for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.

Notice here the chicanery involved with half truths. Our adversary is more than a match for the unaided human intellect. Here’s a quote from BLAZE featuring Glenn Beck (a Mormon) about Transhumanism (H+). “Part of the ethical issue regarding the use of technology that Beck has focused upon at length is the transhumanist movement. The groundwork for merging the human body with machines to the point where the concept of the Singularity would be reached, an idea strongly supported by futurist Ray Kurzweil, is well on its way. Beck pointed to the recent breakthrough of 3D-printed human embryonic stem cells that scientists hope will someday allow for 3D-printed organs. He noted a “million dollar bionic man” named Rex that is outfitted with technology to hear, speak, move and even has artificial organs. So if humans are fixing their physical beings to live longer, as they already are today in many respects, how will this affect society? As an example, Beck called up how soldiers are being mended and returning home physically fixed

30 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

to an extent, but their internal scars are not being addressed. The recent shooting of acclaimed sniper Chris Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield by a Marine reservist who reportedly had PTSD is an example. Another question is, if humans are to live longer, is the Earth able to support them. In another example, Beck highlighted a water purification system called Slingshot by Deka that can make clean drinking water from any, and we mean, any liquid. If this product were to be made smaller and more cost- effective, millions of people would be saved from conditions that result from a lack of potable drinking water. But some have been saying for years that the Earth is reaching a “tipping point” with regard to its growing population and that more growth would cause “severe impacts” on quality of life.” When the Anti-Christ appears (1 Thes 2:3b) in accordance with the 4 horsemen of Rev 5:1-8 at the approximate beginning of the Tribulation Period, we see a time of war, famine, and death. As we have seen above, this could be partially consummated with a nuclear war between the nuclear powers of the earth; but the EMP’s mentioned above could do the job described in Rev 5:1-8, below, without the radioactivity associated with endo-atmospheric Nuclear weapons. Rev 5:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. 3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. 5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. 7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. Barnes says on verse 7. “and see — supported by B{Codex Vaticanus, 4th C.}; omitted by A {Alexandrinus 5th C.}, C {Ephraemi Receptus 5th C.}, and Vulgate {Note: This 4th C. product was translated without the benefit of B.

The fourth living creature, who was "like a flying eagle," introduces this seal; implying high-soaring intelligence, and judgment descending from on high fatally on the ungodly, as the king of birds on his prey. Notice very carefully Paul’s admonition to his Disciple Timothy. 2 Tim 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. 2 Tim 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. 10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 32 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

16 All scripture is God Breathed (Exhaled), and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Tim 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

2.01.01 Transhumanism - Is It Biblical? To say something is Biblical does not necessarily demand its correctness, but only that it it mentioned in the Bible. Is Transhumanism mentioned in the Bible? Well, YES. As C. S. Lewis’ “That Hideous Strength” suggests where Lewis describes in his Space Trilogy the final attempt by transhumanism to take over Humans with Scientific Materialism. This is accomplished by N.I.C.E., The National Institute of Coordinated Experiments which is a scientific and social planning agency, serrapticiosly pursuing its program of the exploitation of nature and the annihilation of humanity. The Institute is secretly inspired and directed by fallen eldila, whom they refer to as "Macrobes", superior beings. Their takeover of Edgestow (a British town) and its surrounding area shows the manner in which they use human pride and greed to get what they want. After the N.I.C.E. would achieve its ends, the earth would only belong to the "Macrobes". We see the real “Hideous Strength” mentioned in the book of The Revelation of Jesus, The Messiah, our LORD. Re 13: 11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth {The False Prophet Fig 01.06. NEC}; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. {The False Prophet - } 12 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. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 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.

2.02 The Overall Expansion Of Knowledge In This Generation. Da 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Pr 24:4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. Pr 24:5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. Pr 24:14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off. Pr 28:2 For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.” Unfortunately, there seems to be a large lack of the Knowledge of God and the wisdom He gives.

Ec 2:26 For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

2.02.01 Our Lack Of Wisdom Allowed The Influx Of Islam (Jihad) In Our Midst.

Our country today seems terribly lacking in this commodity, Wisdom and Knowledge of the God of the Bible. Surely, a knowledgeable President would at least by example for the citizens of the USA, spend some time on Sunday’s in Church (with his family) instead of on the golf links. He has disqualified himself from being a “Christian” by several of his penchants. The Muslim Shahadaha he wears on his finger; indicates his rejection of Jesus as the only begotten SON OF GOD, because ALLAH has no son. Barak Hussein Obama AKA Barry Soetoro, as President of the most powerful nation on the earth, has attempted by his legislation (Executive Orders, often Illegal and unconstitutional) to make us just like every other country, taking in Muslim Refugees and insurgents by the hundreds of thousands. I pose a question to you dear reader:

How many Muslim Islamic Radical Terrorists does it take to kill hundreds with a household made bomb or tens with an automatic weapon, or with a large rental truck (with or without a bomb inside?

Your answer should indicate to you our dilemma.

To radicalize all one needs to do is really believe the Qur’an. The Jihad of Islam . may be easilly found. 2

The ‘Holy’ Hadith contains commands for Jihad.

002 : 025 : Narrated By Abu Huraira.

Allah's Apostle was asked, "What is the best deed?" He replied, "To believe in Allah and His Apostle (Muhammad). The questioner then asked, "What is the next (in goodness)? He replied, "To participate in Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah's Cause." The questioner again asked, "What is the next (in goodness)?" He replied, "To perform Hajj (Pilgrim age to Mecca) 'Mubrur, (which is accepted by Allah and is performed with the intention of seeking Allah's pleasure only and not to show off and without committing a sin and in accordance with the traditions of the Prophet)." 002 : 035 : Narrated By Abu Huraira.

The Prophet said, "The person who participates in (Holy battles) in Allah's cause and nothing compels him to do so except belief in Allah and His Apostles, will be recompensed by Allah either with a reward, or booty (if he survives) or will be admitted to Paradise (if he is killed in the battle as a martyr). Had I not found it difficult for my followers, then I would not remain behind any sariya going for Jihad and I would have loved to be martyred in Allah's cause and then made alive, and then martyred and then made alive, and then again martyred in His cause." etc., . . through

I heard Abi Amr 'Ash-Shaibani saying, "The owner of this house." he pointed to 'Abdullah's house, "said, 'I asked the Prophet 'Which deed is loved most by Allah?" He replied, 'To offer prayers at their early (very first) stated times.'" 'Abdullah asked, "What is the next (in goodness)?" The Prophet said, "To be good and dutiful to one's parents," 'Abdullah asked, "What is the next (in goodness)?" The Prophet said, To participate in Jihad for Allah's Cause." 'Abdullah added, "The Prophet narrated to me these three things, and if I had asked more, he would have told me more." 073 : 002 : Narrated By Abu Huraira.

A man came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Who is more entitled to be treated with the best companionship by me?" The Prophet said, "Your mother." The man said. "Who is next?" The Prophet said, "Your mother." The man further said, "Who is next?" The Prophet said, "Your mother." The man asked for the fourth time, "Who is next?" The Prophet said, "Your father." 073 : 003 : Narrated By 'Abdullah bin 'Amr.

A man said to the Prophet, "Shall I participate in Jihad?" The Prophet said, "Are your parents living?" The man said, "Yes." the Prophet said, "Do Jihad for their benefit." etc., . . and finally 093 : 519 : Narrated By Abu Huraira.

The Prophet said, "Whoever believes in Allah and His Apostle offers prayers perfectly and fasts (the month of) Ramadan then it is incumbent upon Allah to admit him into Paradise, whether he emigrates for Allah's cause or stays in the land where he was born." They (the companions of the Prophet) said, "O Allah's Apostle! Should we not inform the people of that?" He said, "There are one- hundred degrees in Paradise which Allah has prepared for those who carry on Jihad in His Cause. The distance between every two degrees is like the distance between the sky and the Earth, so if you ask Allah for anything, ask Him for the Firdaus, for it is the last part of Paradise and the highest part of Paradise, and at its top there is the Throne of Beneficent, and from it gush forth the rivers of Paradise." 093 : 549 : Narrated By Abu Huraira.

Allah's Apostle said, "Allah guarantees to the person who carries out Jihad for His Cause and nothing compelled him to go out but the Jihad in His Cause, and belief in His Words, that He will either admit him into Paradise or return him with his reward or the booty he has earned to his residence from where he went out." (See Hadith No. 555). 093 : 555 : Narrated By Abu Huraira.

Allah's Apostle said, "Allah guarantees (the person who carries out Jihad in His Cause and nothing compelled him to go out but Jihad in His Cause and the belief in His Word) that He will either admit him into Paradise (Martyrdom) or return him with reward or booty he has earned to his residence from where he went out." 093 : 625 : Narrated By Ibn Mas'ud.

A man asked the Prophet "What deeds are the best?" The Prophet said: (1) To perform the (daily compulsory) prayers at their (early) stated fixed times, (2) To be good and dutiful to one's own parents. (3) and to participate in Jihad in Allah's Cause."

A body of commentary and explication (tafsīr), aimed at explaining the meanings of the Qur’anic verses, are: Reasons of revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl). Asbāb al-nuzūl is a secondary genre of Qur'anic exegesis (Tafsir) directed at establishing the context in which specific verses of the Qur'an were revealed. In this masterpiece’ the ‘humble’ prophet was said to have said at the farewell pilgrimage (Hajjat al-Wada ), at the end of his sermon: “I have left with you two things which, if you were to adhere to them, you will never err: the Book of Allah and my practice”. As Ibn Taymiyyah (I.T.) was said to have said: to be a good Muslim you must “Read The Book” (Qur’an) and 37 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

“Model The Man” (Muhammad). I.T. also has written and is used by the Wahhabi traditions in “Fataawa Sheikh ul Islam ibn Taymiyyah on Jihad. 3, A short portion is shown in the endnote. These things are where 21st century Islam get’s its JIHAD! "sunan [ˈsunan]) is an Arabic word that means "habit سنن sunna], pluralˈ] سنة) Sunnah or "usual practice". Sunnis are also referred to as Ahl as-Sunnah wa'l-Jamā'ah ("people of the tradition and the community (of Muhammad)") or Ahl as-Sunnah for short. The Fiqh vs. Sunnahs are the Hadith expressed in theological categories such as Ablutions, Prayer, Holy Day, etc. Omar Chad of Tipaza, Algeria writes: “The Sunna refers to the actions, statements and way of life of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). It is an essential aspect of the entire system of Islam. God Himself in the Quran has ordered Muslims to take the Prophet as their role model and to listen and obey his words. {Emphasis mine. NEC} Su 4:59 O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is the best [way] and best in result. Su 4:80 He who obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah; but those who turn away - We have not sent you over them as a guardian. Su 59:7...And whatever the Messenger has given you - take; and what he has forbidden you - refrain from. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty. The Sunna is the ultimate normative practical expression of Islam. It is also the definitive explanation of the Quran itself. Without it there can be no true understanding of how to implement Islam. The Prophet’s Sunna was preserved in what is known as the Hadith literature. The question of the preservation of the Sunna and the Hadith is actually an issue concerning the preservation and purity of the religion of Islam itself. This issue becomes even more important given the fact that, unfortunately, many have a false conception of how the Hadith were preserved and, therefore, they do not possess full confidence in the authenticity of the Hadith of the Prophet.” The message on how to be a good Muslim Mr. Chad explains, above, is to Read And Obey The Book (Quran) and Model The Man (Muhammad). This is also the treatment used by Jay Smith of London, GB in his apologetic/polemic presentations on Islam.

2.02.02.02 The Modern Day Caliphate of ISUL/ISUS. 38 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

The modern versions of the Sunni, with help from Saudi Arabia have coalesced to form a new Caliphate called ISIS. ‘Caliph Ibrahim’ Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi whose real name in Ibrahim Awwad Ali al-Badri al- Samarrai, an Iraqi national from the Al-Bu Badri tribe and an alleged descendant of Muhammad, in Bagdad completed in Islamic studies for a PhD. He founded Jamaat Jaish Ahl al-Sunnah wal Jamaa in 2003, to fight U.S. Forces. He took charge of ISI Sharia Committees by 2007. On 8 April 2013, he announced the formation of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)—alternatively translated from the Arabic as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) ; born 28 July 1971 as Ibrahim Awwadأبو بكر البغدادي :This Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (Arabic is/was the leader of the jihadist (إبراهيم عواد إبراهيم علي دمحم البدري السامرائي Ibrahim al-Badri militant organization known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), was/is the original Caliph (Caliph Ibrahim). He Started his reign April 7, 2013. 2.02.02.03 Caliph Ibrahim’ Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi - His ‘Immoral Exploits’ and Directives are shown below. In an audio-taped message, al-Baghdadi announced that ISIL would march on "Rome"— generally interpreted to mean the West—in its quest to establish an Islamic State from the Middle East across Europe. He said that he would conquer both Rome and Spain in this endeavor and urged Muslims across the world to immigrate to the new Islamic State. On 5 July 2014, a video was released apparently showing al-Baghdadi making a speech at the Great Mosque of al-Nuriin Mosul, northern Iraq. A representative of the Iraqi government denied that the video was of al-Baghdadi, calling it a "farce". However, both the BBC and the Associated Press quoted unnamed Iraqi officials as saying that the man in the video was believed to be al-Baghdadi. In the video, al-Baghdadi declared himself the world leader of Muslims and called on Muslims everywhere to support him. On 8 July 2014, ISIL launched its online magazine Dabiq. 4 The title appears to have been selected for its eschatological connections with the Islamic version of the End times, or Malahim.

According to a report in October 2014, after suffering serious injuries, al-Baghdadi fled ISIL's capital city Ar-Raqqah due to the intense bombing campaign launched by Coalition forces, and sought refuge in the Iraqi city of Mosul, the largest city under ISIL control. On 5 November 2014, al-Baghdadi sent a message to al-Qaeda Emir Ayman al-Zawahiri requesting him to swear allegiance to him as caliph, in return for a position in the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The source of this information was a senior Taliban intelligence officer. Al-Zawahiri did not reply, and instead reassured the Taliban of his loyalty to Mullah Omar. On 7 November 2014, there were unconfirmed reports of al-Baghdadi's death after an airstrike in Mosul, while other reports said that he was only wounded. On 13 November 2014, ISIL released an audio-taped message, claiming it to be in the voice of al-Baghdadi. In the 17-minute recording, released via social media, the speaker said that ISIL fighters would never cease fighting "even if only one soldiera remains". The speaker urged supporters of the Islamic State to "erupt volcanoes of jihad" across the world. He called for attacks to be mounted in Saudi Arabia—describing Saudi leaders as "the head of the snake" and said that the US-led military campaign in Syria and Iraq was failing. He also said that ISIL would keep on marching and would "break the borders" of Jordan and Lebanon and "free Palestine". Al-Baghdadi also claimed in 2014 that Islamic jihadists would never hesitate to eliminate Israel just because it has the United States support. Today, 03-13-2017, the city of Mosul is under attack by Arab troops (Shia) and Kurdish troops augmented by US Special Forces and Marines as advisors, Over ½ the city has been taken.

Expositor’s Bible has: Ver. 34. — But in the midst of this fierce onslaught of cruelty they shall be "helped" with a little help. "There shall arise the sect of the Chasidim," or "the Pious," bound together by a "Tugendbund", a group of mostly senior bureaucrats, academics and clergy to maintain the Laws which Israel received from Moses of old. These good and faithful champions of a righteous cause will indeed be weakened by the false adherence of waverers and flatterers. 34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.

35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. 35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. 36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. 37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. 38 But in his estate shall he honor the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. 39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. Note: Islam wasn’t around until the Late 7th century! Allah was a Nabatean God (Petra) who had a wife Al-Lat and two daughters. “Note how Tabari records Muhammad's admittance of sin and repentance after Gabriel confronted him with his error. Afterwards, God supposedly comforts Muhammad with the verses from chapters 17 and 22. Ibn Sa'd records the same sequence of verses. After he admitted his sinful error, Muhammad was comforted by Gabriel, the Angel who watches over the Nation Israel. {So Islam captures Gabriel??? HMNNN!

2.08 He Will Rise From Obscurity…a “little horn” [Daniel 7:8] Da 7:7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. 8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. Please notice dear reader, that there are now 8 (11-3) horns/kings/kingdoms left. Because this is an end-time prophecy, we can turn to Rev 17:9-13, where The Daniel passage is elucidated. Finally, please turn to Table 01.01 for a pictorial of this subject. This suggests that personage will be a Muslim. Re 13:1 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 names of blasphemy. Re 13:11 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. Re 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. Re 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. 11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven(th), and goeth into perdition. 12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

3. The Possible Identification Of The Beast. This I.D. is the most controversial aspect of this book. The reason is found in 2 Th 3b and (then - after the departure of 2:3a) that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. This is why (not revealed till post-rapture of the Church.) I placed a question mark after the centered book heading. The Order of Events at the End of this (the Church) Age. This is an example of the use of the Perspective Principles of The Priority of the Original Language, The Checking Principle, along with the Specific Principles of The Study of Words, The Comparative Use of Words, and The Contextual Study of a Passage. In Greek, as in all other world languages, the meaning of a word depends upon its context. A word can have many meanings depending upon the grammatical, syntactical, cultural, geographical, historical, near and far document context. In 2 Th 2:3, the word οστ σι is transliterated (not translated), apostasy, in many of the older English versions. The basic meaning of this noun form comes from its verb root; αφιστημι : to put away, lead away. Most commentators because of a predisposed bias used this word to describe only religious departure. When it does have this religious connotation, the kind of departure must be described by a verbal descriptor: e.g., departure from Moses Acts 21:21. This word, of course, can have the meaning of religious departure, but when used alone, as here, denotes simply departure; the context determining the kind of departure5 /340ff . In 2 Th 2:3, the near context is the report coming to the Church at Thessalonica that the Day of the Lord was at hand (2 Th 2:2). They thought that they had missed the gathering together up unto Him (verse 1), and were now in the Day of the LORD (The 70th week of Daniel's prophecy, Da 9:24-27). Paul again explains when this gathering together will occur, relative to the Day of the LORD, which he had previously discussed (far context) in his first letter to that Church (1 Th 1:10, 2:19, 3:13, 4:13-18, 5:1-11, 5:23-24). The following personal translation is suggested: Let not anyone at any time deceive you in no way: for unless the departure (rapture) shall come first and [then] shall be revealed the man of lawlessness, the son of destruction, the one who is opposing and is being lifted over - upon all - being called God or worshiped, so that he in the temple of God is seated, proclaiming himself that he is God! Don't you remember that when being with you I used to tell you these things? (2 Th 2:3-5) The article with οστ σι

YAHOO REPORTS “OBAMA BORN SOMEPLACE ELSE”.

News agency scrambles to revert story back to Hawaii

Published: 39 mins ago 06-22-13

DREW ZAHN Drew Zahn is a WND news editor who cut his journalist teeth as a member of the award- winning staff of Leadership, Christianity Today's professional journal for church leaders. A former pastor, he is the editor of seven books, including Movie-Based Illustrations for Preaching & Teaching, which sparked his ongoing love affair with film and his weekly WND

Figure 03.02. Barack Obama In Speech Mode. In an article published online Friday, Rachel Rose Hartman of Yahoo! News lamented that President Obama’s upcoming trip to Africa would not include a stop in Kenya, “the country of his birth.” Whoa. What? The mainstream media for years has been lockstep behind the president in affirming his birth in Hawaii, even derisively labeling those who question the official story as “birthers.” And in fact, Talking Points Memo reports that within 90 minutes of the story’s publication, Yahoo! News added the following: “Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly identified the president’s birthplace.” The wording of the story was then changed from referencing Kenya as “the country of his birth” to “his ancestral homeland.” A screenshot of the original article (emphasis added) can be seen below: Hartman’s article spoke of the Obama family’s upcoming visit to Africa, which is expected to take place from June 26-July 3, and planned stops in Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania. Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Ben Rhodes, however, told reporters Kenya wasn’t on the itinerary.

So was Hartman’s reporting that Obama was born in Kenya a slip-up or a sign of something more? The answer may be impossible to discover. A spokesperson for Yahoo! News told the Washington Post there would be no comments available beyond the correction. Social media monitor Twitchy, however, noted that many users of Twitter were quick to assume Hartman a “birther” and blasted her as racist while demanding she be fired. Curiously, before Obama was elected, it was fairly common to find references in the media that referred to the former Illinois senator as born in Kenya. The Kenyan government, as well, in 2009 commissioned a cultural museum in Kenya to “honour the birthplace of President Obama.” Even Obama’s own literary agency billed him as “born in Kenya” as late as 2007 to promote the sale of his book, “Dreams from My Father.” And while the White House released a purported copy of Obama’s Hawaiian birth certificate April 27, 2011, the president’s refusal to release his childhood and college records, coupled with charges that the birth certificate is a forgery, as well as Barack Obama Sr.’s status as a foreign national, have led many so-called “birthers” to continue to question Obama’s birthplace and/or eligibility under the U.S. Constitution to serve as president. 3.04 Discover the most extensive archive of news reports on Obama’s eligibility anywhere! As WND has reported, a special Cold Case Posse assembled by Maricopa, Ariz., County Sheriff Joe Arpaio was even assembled to look into the question at the request of Arpaio’s constituents, who were concerned they were being defrauded by having an ineligible candidate on the 2012 election ballot. Last year, (2015?) Arpaio held a press conference at which he and Cold Case Posse Chief Mike Zullo outlined their findings. In an affidavit, since filed with the Alabama Supreme Court, Zullo explained, “At that time, we announced that we had concluded that there was probable cause that forgery and fraud had been committed in respect of two documents: 1) the long- form or original birth certificate computer image presented by Mr. Obama, which contained multiple errors and anomalies, many of them serious and: 2) the selective- service document for Mr. Obama, which contained a two-digit year-stamp. This was contrary to specifications issued by federal regulations to the effect that the year of issue should be expressed as four digits on the stamp, and also contrary to any other selective-service registration document that we had been able to examine.” The result of the evidence, he said, is one conclusion. “Accordingly, Sheriff Arpaio continues to recommend that the Congress of the United States open an immediate investigation, including the appointment of a select committee, as regards to the authenticity of Mr. Obama’s documentation, whether any crimes have been committed, and to determine Mr. Obama’s eligibility for the office of president of the United States,” he said.

"On August 4, 1961 Obama's mother, father and grandmother were attending a Muslim festival in Mombasa , Kenya ..

Mother had been refused entry to airplanes due to her nine month pregnancy. It was a hot August day at the festival so the Obama’s went to the beach to Cool off. While swimming in the ocean his mother experienced labor pains so was rushed to the Coast Provincial General Hospital , Mombasa , Kenya where Obama was born a few hours later at 7:21 PM on August 4, 1961(what a sad day for the USA !). Four days later his mother flew to Hawaii and registered his birth in Honolulu as a certificate of live birth which omitted the place and hospital of birth."

Letter from Kitau in Mombasa , Kenya ......

"I happen to be Kenyan. I was born 1 month before Obama at Mombasa medical center. I am a teacher here at the MM Shaw Primary School in Kenya . I compared my birth certificate to the one that has been put out by Taitz and mine is exactly the same. I even have the same registrar and format. The type is identical. I am by nature a skeptical person. I teach science here and challenge most things that cannot be proven. So I went to an official registrar today and pulled up the picture on the web. They magnified it and determined it to be authentic. There is even a plaque with Registrar Lavenders name on it as he was a Brit and was in charge of the Registrar office from 1959 until January of 1964. The reason the date on the certificate says republic of Kenya is that we were a republic when the "copy" of the original was ordered. I stress the word "copy". My copy also has republic of Kenya . So what you say is true about Kenya not being a republic at the time of Obama's birth, however it was a republic when the copy was ordered.

The birth certificate is genuine. I assure you it will be authenticated by a forensic auditor. We are very proud Obama was born here. We have a shrine for him and there are many people who remember his birth here as he had a white mother. They are being interviewed now by one of your media outlets. Fortunately they even have pictures of his parents with him immediately after his birth at the Mombasa hospital with the hospital in the back ground.

It will be a proud day for us when it is proven that he was born here and a Kenyan became the most powerful man in the world. I encourage anyone to come here and visit. I will be happy to take you and show you the pictures at the hospital myself as well as my document and many others that are identical to what Taitz posted. God Bless. Kitau"

Figure 04.01. Photo Of Barry’s Mother and Grandparents Circa 1956. (Stanley) Ann (Barry’s Mother) appears to be around 14 years old, so this is maybe 1956. Left to right: (Stanley) Ann Dunham (1942-1995), Stanley Armour Dunham (1918- 1992), and wife Madelyn Lee Payne (1922 Peru-2008 Hawaii) {Notice the facial resemblance between Barry S./BO and his Grandfather Stanley Armour Dunham. NEC}

4.01 BO’s Grandfather, Stanley Armour Dunham.

A boy named Stanley is traumatized and abandoned.1926: Eight year old Stanley Dunham discovers his mother’s body after she has committed suicide. Stanley’s father then abandons the traumatized boy, leaving Stanley in the care of his maternal grandparents in El Dorado, Kansas.

Stanley is psychologically devastated by suicide and abandonment! Stanley Dunham becomes a troubled teen. The emotionally damaged boy grows into a rebellious teenager. Stanley punches his High School principal and becomes a drifter, hopping rail cars to Chicago, then California, then back again. At age 20, he marries Madelyn Payne on the night of her Senior Prom. The hurt little boy grows into an angry and unstable young man. (Sound familiar Barry?) Just before leaving to fight in World War II in 1942, Stanley impregnates Madelyn. A girl is born on November 29, 1942. Because Stanley wanted a son, he names the girl after himself – Stanley Dunham! (Middle name of Ann) Psycho Stanley fathers a girl – names her Stanley!!! 4.02 BO’s Mother, Stanley Ann Dunham.

What kind of a psycho names his daughter Stanley? Stanley Ann Dunham endures childhood trauma. After the war, the Dunham’s bounce around the country for 15 years – moving to California, back to Kansas, to Seattle, WA, to Mercer Island, WA, and finally to Hawaii. Stanley is teased about her boyish name at every new school she attends. The instability of constantly moving, the teasing/bullying over her strange name, and the constant reminder that her father wanted a boy – will combine to turn young Stanley Ann into a traumatized psycho like her father. A girl named Stanley is teased about her boyish name. Stanley Ann Dunham becomes a troubled teen. At 17, Stanley Ann now goes simply by “Ann”. By this time, she has already embraced Marxism (as had her father), is posing naked for a Communist named Frank Marshall Davis, bashing America, and having sexual relations with older black men.

According to . . . Oh My ! – Ann Dunham “Pictures” surface – President Barack Obama’s Mom….. Posted on June 20, 2012 by sundance Not quite reflective of the *cough* Mid-West Kansas family values the Institutional Legacy Media were selling. The photos were apparently taken at Frank Marshall Davis’s home in Honolulu. The photos reveal an intimate relationship between Obama’s mother and his childhood mentor. Perhaps, just perhaps, her teenage years in Marxist Schools in Oregon will soon surface? Ya, never know…..

Figure 04.05. Stanley Ann Dunham’s book “Dreams From My Father” Racy photos of Barack Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, have recently surfaced in vintage fetish and bondage magazines. The photos, taken at Frank Marshall Davis’ house in Honolulu, appeared in Bizarre Life, Exotique, Secret Pleasures, and Battling Babes. They help illustrate the intimate relationship between Dunham and Davis. “My father was from Kenya, he grew up herding goats,” Barack Obama told the cheering crowds. Did Obama build his political career upon a fairy tale? Was Obama misdirecting Americans away from a deeply disturbing family background and a Marxist political foundation? Obama’s version of his early childhood is false — the family did not split up when the Kenyan Obama went to Harvard as he claimed. In fact, Ann Dunham, took “Barry” to Seattle a few weeks after his birth, in late August 1961, and began studies at the University of Washington, while the Kenyan remained in Hawaii. All evidence points to a “sham” marriage to cover up an illicit affair. Barack Obama began regular visits to Frank Marshall Davis’ house at the age of 10, and Obama refers to Frank Marshall Davis throughout his autobiography as his childhood “mentor.” OBAMA KENYA – BARRY SOETORO INDONESIA – DAVIS HAWAII 1960: Still a 17 year old college freshman, Ann becomes pregnant. She claims that a Kenyan Marxist named Barack Obama (who she met in a Russian language class) is the father. Obama is a drunk who, apparently unbeknownst to Dunham at the time, has his own wife and kids back in Kenya. It has since become apparent that Ann was also having sexual relations with another black man during this time – the admitted Communist Frank Marshall Davis.

Obama looks nothing like his Kenyan father, Barack Obama, but resembles Frank Marshall Davis very much! {And his Grandfather S.A. Dunham. NEC} Barack Obama Jr. is abandoned by his Kenyan father. Less than four years into the unlikely marriage, Ann divorces the drunken Kenyan bigamist. Barack Sr. returns to Africa in 1964. Little “Barry” experiences his first abandonment. Barry will briefly see his alleged father again in 1968, when he is about eight years old, only to have to say goodbye to him. Barack Sr. will later be killed in a ‘drunk’ driving accident in 1982.

5. The Tragic Background Of Barack Obama aka; Barry Soetoro Part 2. Ann marries again. This time to an Indonesian Lolo Soetoro and changes Barack to Barry. Name: Barry Soetoro Religion: Islam Nationality: Indonesian How did this little INDONESIAN Muslim child - Barry Soetoro, (A.K.A. Barack Obama) get around the issue of nationality to become President of the United States of America ?

In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama's qualifications for the presidency, the group "Americans for Freedom of Information" has released copies of President Obama's college transcripts from Occidental College .... The transcript indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia while an undergraduate at the school. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California . The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program.

To qualify for this scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship. This document provides the smoking gun that many of Obama's detractors have been seeking -that he is NOT a natural-born citizen of the United States - necessary to be President of these United States. Along with the evidence that he was born in Kenya , here we see that there is no record of him ever applying for US citizenship.

Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation of Obama's campaign spending. This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in 12 states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records.

Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is still on-going but that the final report will be provided to the U.S. attorney general, Eric Holder. Mr. Holder has refused comment on this matter.

In 2012, it was revealed that Nanny Evie is now a broke homosexual prostitute. (Does this answer any questions of why Barry was drawn to MOOCH Evie?) Barack Obama’s “transgender ex-nanny”. In this Friday, Jan. 27, 2012 photo, Evie, also known as Turdi, the former nanny of U.S. President Barack Obama, stands at the doorway of her room at a boarding house in a slum in Jakarta, Indonesia. Evie, who was born a man but believes she is really a woman, (Remember the Olympic Champion Bruce Jenner) has endured a lifetime of taunts and beatings because of her identity. Nobody knows how many transgenders live in the sprawling archipelagic nation of 240 million, but activists estimate 7 million. However, societal disdain still runs deep – when transgenders act in TV comedies, they are invariably the brunt of the joke.

Grandpa introduces Barry to a Black Communist bi-sexual. Grandpa Dunham is friends with the Communist bi-sexual Frank Marshall Davis. Davis will become a mentor to young Barry. It was Davis, an avid photographer, who took the nude photographs of young Ann Dunham. Davis tells of his sexual deviance in a book entitled “Sex Rebel Black“, (written under the pen name of Bob Greene) In lurid detail, he describes 3-way sex sessions between himself, his wife, and a young girl named “Ann.”  Sex Rebel Black by Frank Marshall Davis  Stephen Colbert On Bill O’Reilly’s Blackwater Mercenary Force Ideology: The Choreographed ISIS Ebola Terror Virus!

The dirty old Communist will finish corrupting little Barry. Teenage Barry is lazy student and a heavy drug user. By the end of High School, generations of family dysfunction and painful rejection will have already shaped the man that Obama will become. By his own adult admission, Obama wastes his High School years as a heavy pot smoker and a mediocre student.

A self-described “lazy student”, Obama has a passion for smoking marijuana.. (later on, cocaine)

Reaganite Republican | November 15, 2011 | Reaganite Republican

Posted on 11/15/2011, 6:36:35 AM by Reaganite Republican The lurid tales have been circulating for three years now, ever since Hillary Clinton's people began hearing whispers from the Chicago street. Meanwhile, a thoroughly compromised Obammunist media were happy to ignore the Democratic rising star's secret past-- up to and including possible crimes committed in order to bury it all.

But besides deep involvement with terrorists and slimy mafiosos, Hillary 2008 staffers repeatedly heard talk that Barack Obama was well-known in the city's alternative lifestyle circles to be a closeted homosexual, married (otherwise inexplicably) to a charmless tree of a woman as a political/social front.

Far fetched? If you know anything about the harsh contempt most black Americans feel towards the gay community, you'll see this scenario as more likely than not- that is, if you genuinely consider the (circumstantial) evidence that's been accumulating.

Of course, being gay is not a crime in itself... it's when you start snuffing out people who know too much about your secret sex life, that's where we run into problems...

Last year if you'll recall, the mother of Jeremiah Wright's (dead, gay) choir director went public with her belief that son Donald Young was murdered on the eve of Democratic primary season to cover up a past sexual relationship with Obama.

Although the MainStream Media (MSM) have still yet to notice the vast plume of smoke emanating from Chicago's gay bathhouse circuit, thinking people know there must have been some serious flaming going-on somewhere. Alas, when this fraudulent scam of a president is at long last exposed for who and what he really is... it's going to make the Great Chicago Fire look a weenie roast.

What links this story to Barack Obama is that, according to an acquaintance of Obama, Larry Sinclair, Obama is a closet bisexual with whom he had sexual and drug-related encounters in November 1999. Further, Sinclair claims that Obama was friendly with at least two of these deceased parishioners, and that choir director Donald had contacted him shortly before being murdered from multiple gunshot wounds on December 23, 2007. ....According to Sinclair in an affidavit to the Chicago Police Department, Donald Young had informed him that he and Barack Obama were “intimate” with each other. Sinclair, it should be noted, declared on a January 18, 2008, YouTube video that on two separate occasions in November 1999, he engaged in sexual acts with Obama, and that Obama smoked crack cocaine—once in a limousine and the other time at a hotel in Gurnee, Ill. Larry Sinclair has also asked: why would Young—whom he had never met— initiate these calls by contacting him on cell phone numbers known only in the Obama camp? Further, a private investigator connected to the Chicago Police Department told the Globe, “Donald Young was silenced because of something he knew about Obama. Donald was in a position where he heard a lot of things and saw a lot of things concerning Barack.” Are three murders within the span of 40 days among members of America’s most discussed church—one run by the controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright—enough to arouse the suspicions of Chicago law enforcement officials and members of the national media? ______

 Such orchestrated, hollow marriages-of-convenience like the Obamas' appear to have been a specialty at the morally and financially dubious Trinity United Church of Christ... where Rev. Jeremiah Wright oversaw the coupling of 'down-low' (closeted) gay black men with embittered, hard-to-match black women. You know the type: Oprah Winfrey and her longtime “boyfriend” Stedman Graham were for many years also members of this same church, fwiw.

 Barack Obama (and running-naked-in-the-congressional-show wers 'Sugar Daddy' Rahm Emanuel) were/are lifetime members of the openly gay Chicago mens' club Man's Country: a 'one-stop 79 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

 Obama -who in Chicago is said to have 'a thing' for young Pakistani men- created mysterious position for (bisexual) actor Kal Penn at the White House, and for which Penn left a successful TV show... only for him to storm back to Hollywood after a few months, once he found out how the job sucked .

 Talk around Chicago's Boystown gay community also mentioned that Obama like to be serviced by 'older, white men'... but was 'not reciprocal' in these relationships (Barry's got issues).

 The Vera Baker/Obama affair rumor is said to have been planted by White House operatives (Axelrod) as a 'macho' smokescreen story for the Tinkerbelle-in-Chief. That's why it was never refuted by anyone on Team Obama, instead allowed to slowly percolate in the public conscious, then quietly fade away-

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. According to Ms. Pope, “BHO is still taking drugs (Smoking Cocaine). According to her, you can look at various photos of BHO and Cocaine will turn the lips a darker shade. She evidently has amassed a set of photos of BHO where his lips show extreme darkening on some and lighter colored like his facial color on others. Manning suggested that his visage was taking the look of an old emaciated man (common to drug addicts). . On his influence on his two girls: Ms. Pope discusses at length BHO’s Narcissism and his inability to concentrate along with ‘paying’ via the Saudi Government or Saudi wealthy citizens for BHO’s education at Harvard (where he ran around and roomed with Muslim homosexuals. She indicates that BHO is mentally ill, which seems to be why his daughters never seem too happy around him.

He is a retired professor in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, formerly holding the titles of Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar. During the 2008 US Presidential campaign, a controversy arose over his contacts with candidate Barack Obama. He is married to Bernardine Dohrn, who was also a leader in the Weather Underground. Barack Hussein Obama was said to have started his career in politics in Bill Ayers’ living room. In fact a book has been written that describes their relationship.

7.01 What Was The Relationship Between Bill Ayers And Barack Obama? Bill Ayers is a former leader of a domestic terrorist organization, the Weatherman. President Obama minimized his relationship with Bill Ayers during the 2008 presidential campaign. Since then, however, more published research has improved our understanding of the depth and nature of the relationship between Bill Ayers and Barack Obama. John C. Drew, Ph.D. Political Science, TCOQ004, Updated Jul 21, 2011, writes. “Since 2008, there has been additional information uncovered concerning the relationship between Barack Obama and Bill Ayers. The most interesting new suggestion has been that Bill Ayers was a powerful influence in writing Obama's first book, Dreams From My Father. Jack Cashill has made this claim and provided compelling evidence for this thesis in his book, Decontructing Obama.

Cashill did a detailed analysis of the text and found a number of common themes in Dreams and other works by Bill Ayers including the existence of numerous nautical references. Bill Ayers is fond of nautical references in his existing books, in part, because he is a former merchant marine with a great deal of experience at sea.

According to Cashill, one of the most intriguing issues raised by a careful analysis of Dreams is that the white girlfriend who appears briefly in Obama's book is actually based on Bill Ayers's former girlfriend, Diana Oughton.

Ironically, Cashill's thesis found telling support in the work of another writer who is known to be sympathetic to liberal thought—Christoper Anderson. Anderson provided evidence to support Cashill's thesis when he indicated in his book, Barack and Michelle: Portrait of An American Marriage, that Barack Obama turned to Bill Ayers for assistance when he was having trouble finishing his first book, Dreams from My Father. (See, p. 164.) Since Andersen is a liberal writer, it seems safe to assume he included the reference to Bill Ayers's participation in creating Dreams from My Father without understanding the significance of this revelation given Cashill's earlier research.”

Solzhenitsyn further stated that it exhibits “great strength of thought and insight…Its design…(increasing freedom and liberalism, which is terminated in social cataclysm)…is well above the abilities of an ordinary mind…It is more complicated than a nuclear bomb.” I’m afraid Protocols may be genuine. They are lectures addressed to Jewish Luciferians (Illuminati, Freemasons) detailing an incredible plan to overthrow western civilization, subjugate mankind, and concentrate “all the wealth of the world…in our hands.” The lectures, typical of similar Illuminati documents, were leaked to the Czarist Secret police and published in Russia in 1905. The issue of anti Semitism diverts attention from this plot which has been unfolding for over 200 years and is behind world government, September 11, Iraq, Homeland Security and the bogus “War on Terror.” When Alexander Solzhenitsyn came to America and spoke at Harvard he warned the US in the 70′s:

96 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

“Destructive and irresponsible freedom has been granted boundless space. Society appears to have little defense against the abyss of human decadence, such as, for example, misuse of liberty for moral violence against young people, motion pictures full of pornography, crime and horror. It is considered to be part of freedom and theoretically counter-balanced by the young people’s right not to look or not to accept. Life organized legalistically has thus shown its inability to defend itself against the corrosion of evil” (speech to Harvard 1978). The American press laughed at him and turned a deaf ear at his observations of America’s immorality and materialism. Solzhenitsyn also warned long ago of today’s socialism: “A number of such critics turn to socialism, which is a false and dangerous current.”

8.03 Did the President Have Mariam Carey Killed to Cover Up An Illegitimate Child? OOF Dah the Swede says. Let’s see 4 deaths in Obama’s ‘illustrious’ past, plus this strange case makes five. There may be more to the incident of Mariam Carey, the 34 year old dental Hygienist, woman, who was shot dead for breaching a temporary White House barricade back on 10/03/2013, than we ever imagined. Of course, the official story released by the White House says they had no idea of why Carey tried to breach a barrier at the WH and led them on a high speed chase that ended with them fatally shooting her five times in the back of the head. Her one-year old also in the car was not hurt. As is seen in the video of the incident, it was anything but a high speed chase, and with Secret Service and D.C. police surrounding Carey's car with guns drawn before the chase, it is highly likely that this triggered her to attempt to escape. The bottom line is Carey was at the White House to see President Obama, and in bringing her 1-year-old child along should show us she was bringing her daughter to meet her biological father. One thing is clear, both D.C. police and the Secret Service had orders to kill her. Both agencies knew she had no weapons from having her car surrounded to when she got out of her car unarmed. Yet, she was shot dead from behind. There is also the lack of interest from the Administration and the usual race agitators, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, who, under any other circumstances, would have been all over this. Then, there is the purported father of Erica Francis, a CIA agent by the name of Eric Francis, who goes by several different names and social security numbers. This coupled with the fact that the government held the child and would not release her to Mariam Carey's parents or family members, who ended up having to go to court to obtain custody, proves to be very suspicious.

97 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

The fact that the official story says Mariam Carey was suffering from delusions and her mental state had been deteriorating some 10 months prior to the WH incident is purely government propaganda. Carey's delusions was said to consist of her belief that President Obama was stalking her, secretly videotaping her, and had her residence buggeda. Carey's so called delusions may not have been delusions at all, but true fact, considering she would have been scrutinized in this very manner if the President really were interested in keeping an eye on her because he was afraid she would start talking. Carey's family and job life just isn't consistent with what we are being told by the government. President Obama made several official trips to Stamford, CT, from 2009 to 2012, not to mention trips there that may not have been reported. Judging from what evidence was weighed against the official story, we find that the actual incident makes no sense other than Carey trying her best to meet Obama with her child and the President going all out to make sure she doesn't. The barricades themselves were more than likely placed there entirely because President Obama knew Carey would attempt to bring their child to the White House soon and not due to an increased terrorist threat, as we were told. He knew this by actually doing what Carey suspected him of doing and was labeled delusional for it. In any case, the President of the United States has a responsibility to present himself to the American public as a person of impeccable integrity—albeit, this President has missed the mark more times than we can count. He has the opportunity to redeem himself in the eyes of those who question him by submitting to a paternity test and lay speculation to rest. “He will do as he pleases!” He will not answer to a higher earthly authority; “He will do as he pleases”[Daniel 11:36]

9. Back To Manning/Pope Conversations.

Bombshell - Obama High School Friend: Barry Soetoro “Portrayed Himself as a Foreigner”

Tim Brown November 6, 2013 Dr. James Manning recently interviewed a high school friend of Barack Obama, who claims to have known him back in the 1970s as Barry Soetoro. Mia Marie Popea says that Obama identified himself as a foreigner and a crack-smoking homosexual. Ms. Pope was born in 1962, in California, and moved with her family to Hawaii when she was still an infant. Pope claims that she did not meet or see Barry Soetoro until about 1977. She said that she, Barry and other kids would hang out at the beach at Waikiki.

a I also talked with Ms. Pope by telecon soon after Dr. Mannings exposé. She was quite coherent and helped to assuage my doubts about her testimony about Barack Obama. It seemed clear that she was a bit fearful for her life. 99 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

Mia Marie Pope says that Barry Soetoro "always portrayed himself as a foreign student." While Soetoro was a little older than her and didn't always run around with the circle of friends that she had, Pope says that he "very much was in sort of the 'gay community,'" which she says that even back then was "thriving." {Ed. Note: When we were in Hawaii for our 25th wedding anniversary – 1982, the drug growers were well known and drove around in very high pickup trucks on Oahu and Kawai. I didn’t see any on the big island (Hawaii) NEC} "We knew Barry as, just common knowledge, that girls were never anything that he was ever interested in, and as a young teenager….as a young girl…..it was clear to me that Barry was strictly into men," Pope said. She also indicated that she had no desires for him and said that they didn't get along, largely in part to the fact that he was "a pathological liar, even back then." Pope said that Soetoro's lies were "egotistical" and always to "boost himself." She referenced Barry "bumming cigarettes," and said that as soon as someone would give him a cigarette, he would instantly turn and walk away, after he had gotten what he wanted. In Pope's words, "He seemed to be incapable or genuine about anything." Ms. Pope said that Barry Soetoro was always "getting with these older white men." She recognized that he was one that had cocaine, which she said was "newsworthy" in the groups she hung out in. They then began to believe it was Soetoro's engagements (ie. Homosexual acts) with these older white men is how he "procured" cocaine. "In other words, he was having sex with these older white guys, and that's how he was getting his cocaine to be able to freebase," she told Manning. Mia Pope also said that she actually saw Obama dress up as a transvestite. She remarked that it was during the era of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, starring Tim Curry, that this took place. When asked by Manning why she came forward, and others were not, she said that because she is a Christian and deeply concerned about her country. She says that if Barack Obama was doing a "good job" today, then she would not worry about his past. She wondered when Obama first came on the scene if he had, in fact, "changed his ways." Apparently, according to Pope, he had not. Pope said that she didn't care about his homosexuality 100 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

or the fact that he used drugs in the past, but was concerned about who he was as an adult. Pope says that her willingness to come forward has taken courage, and she believes it is "righteous" to speak out against Barack Obama. "I refuse to be a coward," she added. Ms. Pope also says that she had called the Federal Bureau of Investigations several times to expose Barack Obama's use of fake Social Security numbers, and nothing was done about it. This took place several years ago. Pope said that when Barry's name began to be pushed forward as Barack Hussein Obama, she thought there was "something shady" going on. She was familiar with the claims of Larry Sinclair, the man who claimed prior to the 2008 elections that he had a homosexual relationship with Barack Obama and the two had smoked crack cocaine together. Sinclair was rumored to have been killed in a hit and run in November of 2011. Pope also said that for Obama to have attended the school he did, Punahou high School (which he graduated from in 1979), required a lot of money and it required that he start from kindergarten, but seeing that he was entering mid- level; she believes that he must have had "something stellar" which allowed him to get in, especially when he was "fresh from Indonesia." Manning suggested that Obama's involvement with older white men is what got him into Punahou, and Pope seems to agree, though she used a reference to the CIA or some "force" that got Obama "set up" at Punahou. "It was certainly not a natural thing," she said. They both agreed that has been the way things happened for young Soetoro from Punahou to Occidental to Columbia to Harvard. Pope pointed out that interviews were conducted with those who were in the same classes at Columbia that Obama was supposed to be in and not a single person remembers him being there! When Dr. Manning asked Pope why she thought that Larry Bland, Nate Spencer and Donald Young (all member of the church Obama attended, Trinity Church of Christ, where Jeremiah Wright pastors) were all killed within days of each other in Chicago, she said that she believed Obama's handlers like what he is doing to the country. Therefore, in her opinion, they have kept a lid on these murders.

10. A Tip From Muhammad. “Be a friend until you get strong enough to conquer them.” Sura 47:35 not only commands against making peace but also provides the model for Muslims to follow today. The text expressly says that Muslims are not to seek for peace if they have the upper hand, which implies that if they are not in a position of dominance then the injunction of Sura 8:61 should be implemented. In the words of Ibn Kathir: , meaning, do not be weak concerning the enemies… , meaning, compromise, peace, and ending the fighting between you and the disbelievers while you are in a position of power, both in great numbers and preparation… meaning, in the condition of your superiority over your enemy. If, on the other hand, the disbelievers are considered more powerful and numerous than the Muslims, then the Imam (general commander) may decide to hold a treaty if he judges that it entails a benefit for the Muslims. This is like what Allah’s Messenger did when the disbelievers obstructed him from entering Makkah and offered him treaty in which all fighting would stop between them for ten years… (Tafsir Ibn Kathir (Abridged) (Surat Al-Jathiyah to the end of Surat Al-Munafiqun) [First Edition: September 2000], Volume 9, p. 118; bold and underline emphasis ours) This exegesis implies that these texts are not contradictory and that one command isn’t abrogating the other. Rather, the verses are referring to different conditions and situations which make one passage applicable as opposed to the other. In other words, if the disbelievers outnumber the Muslims then the latter should accept and seek for peace per Sura 8:61. On the other hand, if the Muslims are greater in number and power then they must not pursue peace but seek to subjugate the unbelievers per Sura 47:35! What this essentially means is that Muslims living in the West can pursue a course of peace with their unbelieving neighbors since the latter clearly outnumber the former. Yet when the Muslims muster enough power and wealth to overcome the "infidels" they will be forced to abandon peace and seek to conquer the disbelievers instead. In particular, this Islamic teaching destroys any basis for trust in peace treaties made by Muslims. They are never thought to be lasting but only until such time as the Muslims feel strong enough that it is to their advantage to break the peace and attack the unbelievers again. For this reason Islam does not know genuine peace treaties with non-Muslims, i.e. peace treaties that end war once and for all, but only temporary truces that can be dissolved at any time. Is it any wonder that Muhammad is quoted as saying that war is deceit! There are hadiths that explicitly state that lying is allowed in Jihad to expand the rule of Allah over the infidels, by all means, military and non-military. The late Christian scholar of Islam and biographer of Muhammad, Sir William Muir wrote: The common Moslem belief is that it is allowable to tell a falsehood on four occasions: 1st, to save one's life; 2nd, to effect a peace or reconciliation; 3rd, to persuade a woman; 4th, on the occasion of a journey or expedition. The first is borne out by Mahomet’s express sanction. Ammar ibn Yasir was sorely persecuted by the pagans of Mecca, and denied the faith for his deliverance. The Prophet approved of his conduct:- "If they do this again, then repeat the same recantation to them again." Katib al Wackidi; p. 227 ½.. Another tradition preserved in the family of Yasir, is 102 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

as follows:- "The idolators seized Ammar, and they let him not go until he had abused Mahomet and spoken well of their gods. He then repaired to the Prophet, who asked of him what had happened." - "Evil, oh Prophet of the Lord! I was not let go until I had abused thee, and spoken well of their gods." - "But how," replied Mahomet, "dost thou find thine own heart?" - "Secure and steadfast in the faith." - "Then," said Mahomet, "if they repeat the same, do thou' too repeat the same." Ibid. Mahomet also said that Ammar's lie was better than Abu Jahl’s truth. The second is directly sanctioned by the following tradition:- "That person is not a liar who makes peace between two people, and speaks good words to do away their quarrel, although they should be lies. Mishcat, vol ii. p.427. As to the third, we have a melancholy instance that Mahomet did not think it wrong to make false promises to his wives, in the matter of Mary his Egyptian maid. And regarding the fourth, it was his constant habit in projecting expeditions (excepting only that to Tabuk) to conceal his intentions, and to give out that he was about to proceed in another direction from the true one. Hishami, p.392; Katib al Wackidi, p.133 ½.. (Muir, The Life of Mahomet: With Introductory Chapters On The Original Sources For The Biography Of Mahomet, And On The Pre-Islamite History Of Arabia, Volume 1, fn. 88; source) However, a military war is not the only way that Muslims seek to enforce their laws on a society. War can have many faces. Similar to the above, the Muslim community in a non- Muslim country may pretend to be law-abiding and loyal to constitution (i.e. talk peace) while they are small and weak, but simply ignore, or even attack and destroy, the laws of their host country when they become stronger. The article The Islamization of Europe's Cities is a disturbing report. Moreover, the problem is not even so much the statement that "war is deceit". In war, all armies seek to gain an advantage by surprising the enemy. Whether morally justified or not, tricks and deception are expected in war. The real problem is that based on the above facts one can hardly avoid the conclusion that in Islam "peace is deceit", i.e. the "peace talk" of Muslims is deceit, because the Muslims do not seek genuine and lasting peace that includes freedom and security for the non-Muslims, particularly the freedom of religion, but only seek to buy time and the opportunity to regroup and gain strength until they are strong enough to subjugate the infidels and force them under the rule of Islam. That certainly cannot be called "seeking peace". Basically, these texts justify lying to the non-Muslims all the time. The renowned Muslim philosopher Abu Hammid Ghazali says: "Speaking is a means to achieve objectives. If a praiseworthy aim is attainable through both telling the truth and lying, it is unlawful to accomplish through lying because there is no need for it. When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible." (Ahmad ibn Naqib al- Misri, The Reliance of the Traveller, translated by Nuh Ha Mim Keller [Amana Publications, 1997], section r8.2, page 745; bold emphasis ours)

11. ABC News Uncovers Obama Admin Has Flooded America With Islamic Terrorists Disguised As Iraqi Refugees

by Steve Foley on November 21, 2013 On August 8, 2013 NTEB News warned you of the plan by the Obama Administration to sneak into the country scores of highly-trained Muslim terrorists disguised as refugees from war-torn Iraq and Syria. Today, ABC News confirms that this has happened exactly as we warned you it would. ABC News: Several dozen suspected terrorist bomb makers, including some believed to have targeted American troops, may have mistakenly been allowed to move to the United States as war refugees, according to FBI agents investigating the remnants of roadside bombs recovered from Iraq and Afghanistan. The discovery in 2009 of two al Qaeda-Iraq terrorists living as refugees in Bowling Green, Kentucky — who later admitted in court that they’d attacked U.S. soldiers in Iraq — prompted the bureau to assign hundreds of specialists to an around-the-clock effort aimed at checking its archive of 100,000 improvised explosive devices collected in the war zones, known as IEDs, for other suspected terrorists’ fingerprints.

Figure 11.02 Obama’s Refugees! “We are currently supporting dozens of current counter-terrorism investigations like that,” FBI Agent Gregory Carl, director of the Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center (TEDAC), said in an ABC News interview to be broadcast tonight on ABC News’ “World News with Diane Sawyer” and “Nightline”. “I wouldn’t be surprised if there were many more than that,” said House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul. “And these are trained terrorists in the art of bombmaking that are inside the United States; and quite frankly, from a homeland security perspective, that really concerns me.” As a result of the Kentucky case, the State Department stopped processing Iraq refugees for six months in 2011, federal officials told ABC News – even for many who had heroically helped U.S. forces as interpreters and intelligence assets. One Iraqi who had aided American troops was assassinated before his refugee application could be processed, because of the immigration delays, two U.S. officials said. In 2011, fewer than 10,000 Iraqis were resettled as refugees in the U.S., half the number from the year before, State Department statistics show.

11.01 Suspect In Kentucky Discovered To Have Insurgent Past An intelligence tip initially led the FBI to Waad Ramadan Alwan, 32, in 2009. The Iraqi had claimed to be a refugee who faced persecution back home — a story that shattered when the FBI found his fingerprints on a cordless phone base that U.S. soldiers dug up in a gravel pile south of Bayji, Iraq on Sept. 1, 2005. The phone base had been wired to unexploded bombs buried in a nearby road. An ABC News investigation of the flawed U.S. refugee screening system, which was overhauled two years ago, showed that Alwan was mistakenly allowed into the U.S. and resettled in the leafy southern town of Bowling Green, Kentucky, a city of 60,000 which is home to Western Kentucky University and near the Army’s Fort Knox and Fort Campbell. Alwan and another Iraqi refugee, Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, 26, were resettled in Bowling Green even though both had been detained during the war by Iraqi authorities, according to federal prosecutors. Most of the more than 70,000 Iraqi war refugees in the U.S. are law-abiding immigrants eager to start a new life in America, state and federal officials say. But the FBI discovered that Alwan had been arrested in Kirkuk, Iraq, in 2006 and confessed on video made of his interrogation then that he was an insurgent, according to the U.S. military and FBI, which obtained the tape a year into their Kentucky probe. In 2007, Alwan went through a border crossing to Syria and his fingerprints were entered into a biometric database maintained by U.S. military intelligence in Iraq, a Directorate of National Intelligence official said. Another U.S. official insisted that fingerprints of Iraqis were routinely collected and that Alwan’s fingerprint file was not associated with the insurgency. 11.01.01 “How do they get into our community?” In 2009 Alwan applied as a refugee and was allowed to move to Bowling Green, where he quit a job he briefly held and moved into public housing on Gordon Ave., across the street from a school bus stop, and collected public assistance payouts, federal officials told ABC News. “How do you have somebody that we now know was a known actor in terrorism overseas, how does that person get into the United States? How do they get into our community?” wondered Bowling Green Police Chief Doug Hawkins, whose department assisted the FBI. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Peter Boogaard said in a statement that the U.S. government “continually improves and expands its procedures for vetting immigrants, refugees and visa applicants, and today [the] vetting process considers a far broader range of information than it did in past years.” {Why not give them the JESUS TEST? i.e., [With a Muslim Imam Listening], ask them Whose Son Is Jesus – Answer, Jesus is the Only Begotten Son of God! Any other answer UNVETS them. However, lying about this being excused by ‘Allah’would allow him/her to vet him/her. NEC} “Our procedures continue to check applicants’ names and fingerprints against records of individuals known to be security threats, including the terrorist watch list, or of law enforcement concern… These checks are vital to advancing the U.S. government’s twin goal of protecting the world’s most vulnerable persons while ensuring U.S. national security and public safety,” the statement said.

Last year, a Department of Homeland Security senior intelligence official testified in a House hearing that Alwan and Hammadi’s names and fingerprints were checked by the FBI, DHS and the Defense Department during the vetting process in 2009 and “came in clean.” After the FBI received the intelligence tip later that year, a sting operation in Kentucky was mounted to bait Alwan with a scheme hatched by an undercover operative recruited by the FBI, who offered Alwan the opportunity to ship heavy arms to al Qaeda in Iraq. The FBI wanted to know if Alwan was part of a local terror cell — a fear that grew when he tapped a relative, also living in Bowling Green, Hammadi, to help out. The FBI secretly taped Alwan bragging to the informant that he’d built a dozen or more bombs in Iraq and used a sniper rifle to kill American soldiers in the Bayji area north of Baghdad. “He said that he had them ‘for lunch and dinner,’” recalled FBI Louisville Supervisory Special Agent Tim Beam, “meaning that he had killed them.” Alwan even sketched out IED designs, which the FBI provided to ABC News, that U.S. bomb experts had quickly determined clearly demonstrated his expertise.

‘Needle in a Haystack’ Fingerprint Match Found on Iraq Bomb Parts, White House Briefed The case drew attention at the highest levels of government, FBI officials told ABC News, when TEDAC forensic investigators tasked with finding IEDs from Bayji dating back to 2005 pulled 170 case boxes and, incredibly, found several of Alwan’s fingerprints on a Senao-brand remote cordless base station. A U.S. military Significant Action report on Sept. 1, 2005 said the remote-controlled trigger had been attached to “three homemade-explosive artillery rounds concealed by gravel with protruding wires.” “There were two fingerprints, developed on the top of the base station,” Katie Suchma, an FBI supervisory physical scientist at TEDAC who helped locate the evidence, told ABC News at the center’s IED examination lab. “The whole team was ecstatic because it was like finding a needle in a haystack.” “This was the type of bomb he’s talking about when he drew those pictures,” added FBI electronics expert Stephen Mallow. Word was sent back to the FBI in Louisville. “It was a surreal moment, it was a real game changer, so to speak, for the case,” FBI agent Beam told ABC News. “Now you have solidified proof that he was involved in actual attacks against U.S. soldiers.” Worse, prosecutors later revealed at Hammadi’s sentencing hearing that he and Alwan had been caught on an FBI surveillance tape talking about using a bomb to assassinate an Army captain they’d known in Bayji, who was now back home – and to possibly attack other homeland targets. “Many things should take place and it should be huge,” Hammadi told Alwan in an FBI- recorded conversation, which a prosecutor read at Hammadi’s sentencing last year.

11.01.02 Then-FBI Director Robert Mueller briefed President Obama in early 2011. As agents and Louisville federal prosecutors weighed whether to arrest Mohanad Shareef Hammadi and Waad Ramadan Alwan for continue arranging phony arms shipments to Iraq that the pair could assist with, consisting of machine guns, explosives and even Stinger missiles the FBI had secretly rendered inoperable and which never left the U.S. But agents soon determined there were no other co-conspirators. An FBI SWAT team collared the terrorists in a truck south of Bowling Green in late May 2011, only weeks after al Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan and Obama had visited nearby Fort Campbell to thank the SEALs and Army Nightstalker pilots for their successful mission. The Kentucky al Qaeda case drew little attention as the nation celebrated Bin Laden’s death.

11.01.03 Suspects Linked to Attack That Killed 4 US Soldiers. Pennsylvania National Guard soldiers who had served in Bayji in 2005 saw news reports about the two arrests, and Army Staff Sgt. Joshua Hedetniemi called the FBI to alert them to an Aug. 9, 2005, IED attack that killed four of their troopers in a humvee patrolling south of the town. The U.S. attorney’s office in Louisville eventually placed the surviving soldiers in its victim notification system for the case, even though it couldn’t be conclusively proven that Alwan and Hammadi had killed the Guardsmen. The four Pennsylvania soldiers killed that day were Pfc. Nathaniel DeTample, 19, Spec. Gennaro Pellegrini, 31, Spec. Francis J. Straub Jr., 24, and Spec. John Kulick, 35. “It was a somber moment for the platoon, we had a great deal of love and respect for those guys and it hit us pretty hard,” Hedetniemi said in an interview in the Guard’s armory near Philadelphia. “I think that these two individuals are innately evil to be able to act as a terrorist and attack and kill American soldiers, then have the balls to come over to the United States and try to do the same exact thing here in our homeland.” Confronted with all the evidence against them, Alwan and Hammadi agreed to plead guilty to supporting terrorism and admitted their al Qaeda-Iraq past. Alwan cooperated and received 40 years, while Hammadi received a life term which he is appealing. A hearing for Hammadi’s appeal took place Tuesday in the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Ohio. “We need to take this as a case study and draw the right lessons from it, and not just high-five over this,” said retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Barbero, who headed the military’s Joint IED Defeat Organization until last May. “How did a person who we detained in Iraq — linked to an IED attack, we had his fingerprints in our government system — how did he walk into America in 2009?” Barbero is credited with leveraging the Kentucky case to help the FBI get funding to create a new state of the art fingerprint lab focused solely on its IED repository in a huge warehouse outside Washington. The new FBI lab assists counterterrorism investigations of suspected bombmakers and IED emplacers and looks for latent prints on 100,000 IED remnants collected over the past decade by the military and stored in the vast TEDAC warehouse. The only man in the Humvee to survive the 2005 IED bombing in Bayji, Daniel South, who is now an Army Black Hawk helicopter pilot in Texas, said he was stunned to learn

al Qaeda-Iraq insurgents were living in Kentucky — but he’s glad they were finally brought to justice for attacking U.S. troops in Iraq. “I kind of wish that we had smoked [Alwan] when it happened, but we didn’t have that opportunity so I guess this is second best,” South told ABC News. source – ABC News

11.02 OBAMA – The Anti-Military Commander In Chief Written on March 5, 2012 by David L. Goetsch ______Has America ever had a commander in chief that harbored more animosity toward the military than Barack Obama? It is as if Barack Obama has been waiting all of his life to get back at the military for some secret grudge. Of course when you consider that his friends and associates include several members of 1960s radical anti-war Marxist groups, the reasons behind his hard feelings toward the military begin to reveal themselves. When Obama is associated with former members of the misnamed Students for a Democratic Society (SDS)—a Marxist organization that supported the Communist North Vietnamese while they were killing young American soldiers—it should come as no surprise that he harbors anti-military bias. With this said, another question comes to mind: Has there ever been a worse time for America to have an anti-military commander in chief? Every day there are terrorist plots being hatched somewhere in the world for the purpose of destroying America. How has President Obama responded to these threats? By downsizing the military. Every day the Chinese take another step toward achieving their goal of military superiority over the United States. How has the president responded to the Chinese threat? By cutting way back on production of the F-35 strike fighter, America’s most important weapon against the Chinese. President Obama exemplifies the post-1960s approach of the left for pursuing its animosity toward the military: praise in public while undermining in private. The president learned the hard way that there is a political price to be paid for criticizing our men and women in uniform. Consequently, he is now often heard extolling the virtues of the military, especially in cases where doing so will allow him to make political hay. He has become especially adept at jumping in front of military parades once he is sure that the mission was successful. But Americans should never confuse political opportunism with respect for the military. Consider Obama’s handling of the Seal team that eliminated Osama Bin Ladena. Because the long-awaited death of the despised terrorist was such good news to Americans of all stripes, President Obama was full of praise for the courageous Navy Seals who carried out the mission. Predictably, leftist journalists rushed to credit Obama with the kill of the century. Conveniently forgotten in all the a The videoed Military conference that I saw briefly showed a glum looking ‘little-boy’ disheveled Obama sitting to the rear of the table, not even a place there for him, his chair facing 90 deg., to the participants. He looked sullen just like a kid after a spanking. NEC 109 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

praise for the president was his earlier attempt to prosecute Navy Seals for allegedly bloodying the nose of a terrorist. When Navy Seals treat a terrorist no rougher than six year-old boys treat each other on the playground, the Obama administration wants to prosecute them. This incident, not the Osama Bin Laden mission, shows what Obama and his fellow travelers on the left really think about the military. Having never served in the military, President Obama lacks an appreciation for the sacrifices military personnel and their families are asked to make for the sake of America’s national defense. Further, he either does not understand or does not care how his misguided policies and budget cuts affect the ability of military personnel to perform their duties. Following the tragedy of 9-11, our country underwent what appeared to be a transformation. Liberals, conservatives, and moderates pulled together in a show of patriotism. “We Will Never Forget” bumper stickers could be seen displayed on the automobiles of people from both ends of the political spectrum. American flags were proudly displayed and the military was once again afforded a level of respect it had not enjoyed since the end of World War II. Unfortunately, but predictably, this surge of national unity was short-lived. Many people who claimed they would “never forget” quickly forgot. President Obama harbors a thinly disguised animus toward the military. Although he claims otherwise, his knee-jerk reaction to anything in uniform can be seen in the decisions he makes. If President Obama had to cut one dollar in social spending for every dollar he cuts in military spending, the military would not be the target of cuts. But that is not likely to happen with a president who views himself as America’s Director in Chief of social programs. ______

11.03 Obama’s Education At Columbia University Class Of ‘83’. If Obama’s College education was like that at Columbia, It’s amazing he was able to rise to the office of the President of the USA and speak so well. This ability is not well known among my educated friends. He undoubtedly obtained this ability from his ‘work’ as a neighborhood organizer and with help from the god of this world.

11.03.01 Barack Obama - The Ghost Of Columbia University Jun. 4, 2013 1:31pm WAYNE ALLYN ROOT Wayne Allyn Root is a Capitalist Evangelist, entrepreneur, and Libertarian-conservative Republican. He is a former Libertarian vice presidential nominee. ______I am a graduate of Columbia University, Class of 1983. That’s the same class Barack Obama claims to have graduated from. We shared the same exact major- Political Science. We were both Pre Law. It was a small class- about 700 students. The Political Science department was even smaller and closer-knit (maybe 150 students). I thought I knew, or met at least once, (or certainly saw in classes) every fellow Poly Sci classmate in my four years at Columbia. But not Obama. No one ever met him. Even worse, no one even remembers seeing that unique memorable face. Think about this for a minute. Our classmate is President of the United States. Shouldn’t someone remember him? Or at least claim to remember him? One of the speakers at the 30th reunion should have reminisced about “my days with the future President.” But no one did. You’d think Obama might have sent a video to tell us all how much he enjoyed his time at Columbia. You’d think he’d have sent at least a letter to be read aloud from one of his former college buddies. Right? But he didn’t. Because Obama has no former college buddies. No one that ever met Obama, let alone befriended him, was in attendence at our 30th class reunion. Now you might argue this is all strange, but it’s possible. After all Columbia says he graduated. And I take my college’s word for it. Would one of the world’s greatest Ivy League institutions participate in a coverup, thereby risking their billion dollar reputation? And there is one single article written for the Columbia newspaper with Obama’s name on it. A single photo also exists of Obama in his Manhattan apartment with the man he claims was his college roommate- a Pakistani foreign student. And one single radical leftist Columbia professor who hates Israel also claims he remembers Obama. That’s the sum total of Obama’s existence at Columbia University, Class of ’83.

111 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

So I asked every classmate I met at our 30th reunion, many of them Political Science majors, if they ever met, or saw, or heard of Obama. The answer was a resounding NO from every one of them. I asked if they found this strange, or worried how this was possible? They all answered YES. I asked if they thought it was possible to be a Political Science major and never meet a fellow major in our small classes? They all gave me a very strange look and answered NO. So I asked, “How could this be possible? Can you explain this?” No one had an answer. Keep in mind these people I spoke to are all- to a man and woman- dedicated liberal Democrats who voted for Obama. I’m guessing 90% are major Democrat contributors. My Columbia classmates are the crème of the crop of American society. Lawyers, doctors, billionaire hedge fund members, stars of the media. They adore Obama. But they all admit they never met him in their four years at Columbia. I am proud of my classmates for their honesty and integrity.

Figure 11.03 Obama And His Columbia University Room-mate Sohale Siddiqi. One classmate told me he was present when one of the most honored professors in Columbia University history gave a speech to alumni a couple of years ago. The speech was followed by Q&A. This beloved professor was asked about Obama at Columbia. He said, “I have my doubts about the story.” The crowd was stunned. He immediately went onto the next question and never elaborated. So obviously I’m not the only one with doubts. So here’s my take on this great mystery. I’ve never said Obama was not registered at Columbia. I’m sure he was. I’ve never said he didn’t graduate. If Columbia says he did, then I’m sure he did. But I’ve always said there is 112 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

something wrong with the story. It’s rancid. It’s unbelievable. It’s impossible. It’s the story of a Manchurian candidate6. The question isn’t, was he ever registered, or did he graduate. And it’s interesting that one photo, one professor, and one newspaper article exists- just enough to provide a thin cover. But the serious question the media should be asking is…What did Obama do for two full years in-between registration and graduation? Did he ever attend a class? Did he ever have a single friend other than a Pakistani nationala? The question isn’t, was he ever registered, or did he graduate. And it’s interesting that one photo, one professor, and one newspaper article exists- just enough to provide a thin cover. But the serious question the media should be asking is…What did Obama do for two full years in-between registration and graduation? Did he ever attend a class? Did he ever have a single friend other than a Pakistani national? Why is the only professor to ever come forward and claim he remembers him a radical leftist who hates Israel? What exactly was he doing when no one met him, saw him, or heard of him? Why are his college records sealed? What does he have to hide? But my educated guess is he can’t, or won’t ever release those records. Because what we’d find would be shocking. Now I know somewhere in America is an Obama defender that will accuse me of lying. But are all those classmates at our 30th reunion lying too? And if I wanted to lie, wouldn’t I better off saying I knew the future President well? If I wanted to malign the President, shouldn’t I be saying he was my close buddy and I witnessed all kinds of terrible things? But I can’t say that. Because I never witnessed anything. Neither did any of my classmates. We didn’t know him. Never met him. Never saw him. My story is simply the truth- and it’s the same consistent story I’ve told since 2007. There is something wrong with Obama’s story- that much I know. He is either the ghost of Columbia, or the perfect Manchurian Candidate. But something smells rotten at Columbia. ______

12. Obama Is A Muslim As Is The Anti-Christ. From my book, “THE TRUTH ABOUT ISLAM” the following sections are extracted. (With new section numbers)

12.01 Present-day Islamists.. Present-day Islamists maintain differing stances on the matter of Ijtihad. Islamist groups such as the Salafis are major proponents of Ijtihad. Salafis believe Ijtihad makes modern Islam more authentic and will guide Muslims back to the Golden Age of early Islam. They criticize taqlid and tradition. Salafis assert that such a concept has led to Islam's decline. Similarly, political groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood trace their founding philosophies back to al-Afghani's Ijtihad. The Muslim Brotherhood feels that ijithad strengthens the faith of believers because they have to better familiarize themselves with the Quran and come to their own conclusions about its teachings. Yet, as a political group the Muslim Brotherhood faces a major paradox between Ijtihad as a religious matter versus that as a political one. Ijtihad weakens political unity and promotes pluralism. Hence, due to this fact many oppressive regimes reject ijtihad's legitimacy. Many Islamist regimes impose harsh restrictions on Ijtihad and its modern day application. These regimes can implement such restrictions by posing limits on individual freedoms. These institutions are against the modification and individual interpretation of Islam to accommodate modernity. They believe this accommodation signifies a surrendering to both westernization and secularization, which is deemed evil. Therefore, oppressive regimes primarily emphasize and promote Sharia and taqlid, while Ijtihad is regarded as "sinful". Such regimes' strive to promote the authenticity of Islam and the exact teachings of the prophet and word of Allah. Additionally, it is important to note that Islamists, such as Osama Bin Laden supported Ijtihad. He criticized the Saudi regime for disallowing the “free believer” and imposing harsh restrictions on successful practice of Islam. Thus, Bin Laden believed his striving for the implementation of Ijtihad was his “duty” that he must achieve.

12.01.01 The Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood is a clear and Present Danger to every country of the world. Its adherents are 100% backers of Sharia. These folks as we shall see have INFECTED the Whitehouse, and explains BO’s disdain for Christians and Jews. This group is Saudi Backed. (The group who backed BO’s education and setup into the Whitehouse). These are, I know inflammatory statements, but as this is perhaps my last book, it is a WARNING to those who are ignorant of Satan’s devices to take over the World system. This book is a Textbook for our College, but also a Reference work to provide the Christian, The Jew, and any who are left behind at the rapture (Grk.

12.01.01.01 The Testimony Of Faith (Shahada): The testimony of faith is saying with conviction, “La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammadur rasoolu Allah.”This saying means “There is no true god (deity) but Allah,1 and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of God.”The first part, “There is no true god but God,” means that none has the right to be worshipped but God alone, and that God has neither partner nor son. This testimony of faith is called the Shahada, a simple formula which should be said with conviction in order to convert to Islam (as explained previously. The testimony of faith is the most important pillar of Islam. aš-šahādah) is the first Islamic declaration of faith. It الشهادة :This.

12.01.01.02 An Interesting Personage Who Subscribes To Islam.

Who do you suppose wears the Shahada around every day? Our Present Liar in Chief. NEW YORK – by Jerome Corsi As a student at Harvard Law School, then- bachelor Barack Obama’s practice of wearing a gold band on his wedding-ring finger puzzled his colleagues.

Figure 12.01. The Ring And Owner. Now, newly published photographs of Obama from the 1980s show that the ring Obama wore on his wedding-ring finger as an unmarried student is the same ring Michelle Robinson put on his finger at the couple’s wedding ceremony in 1992. Moreover, according to Arabic-language and Islamic experts, the ring Obama has been wearing for more than 30 years is adorned with the first part of the Islamic declaration of faith, the Shahada: “There is no god except Allah.” The Shahada is the first of the Five Pillars of Islam, expressing the two fundamental beliefs that make a person a Muslim: There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is Allah’s prophet.

Sincere recitation of the Shahada is the sole requirement for becoming a Muslim, as it expresses a person’s rejection of all other gods. Egyptian-born Islamic scholar Mark A. Gabriel, Ph.D., examined photographs of Obama’s ring at WND’s request and concluded that the first half of the Shahada is inscribed on it.

Figure 12.02. Inscription On Obama's Ring01.

As WND reported in July, previously published photos have shown Obama wearing a gold band on his wedding- ring finger continuously from 1981 at Occidental, through graduation at Columbia in 1983, in a visit to Africa in 1988 and during his time at Harvard from 1988 to 1991. But none, until now, have displayed the ring with enough detail to identify it as the one he currently is wearing.

Inscription On Obama's Ring02 WND reported a satirical edition of the Harvard Law Review published by students in 1990 contains a mock Dewers Scotch profile advertisement poking fun at Obama. Among a list of Obama’s “Latest Accomplishments” is: “Deflecting Persistent Questioning About Ring On Left Hand.” The comment suggests the ring was a subject of student curiosity at the time and that Obama was not forthcoming with an explanation. He still has not explained why he wore the band on his wedding-ring finger before he married Michelle. Gabriel, born to Muslim parents in Upper Egypt, grew up immersed in Islamic culture. He memorized the Quran at age of 12 and graduated in 1990 with a Masters degree from the prestigious Al-Azhar University in Cairo, the preeminent Sunni Muslim institution of learning. He explained that on Obama’s ring, the declaration “There is no god except Allah” (La Ilaha Illallah) is inscribed in two sections, one above the other. On the upper section, “There is no god” is written in Arabic letters, from top to bottom: Is the word La - for Not آل (Is the word ilaha - for god (deity ِاله On the lower section is “except god,” written in Arabic letters from top to bottom: Is the word illa - for But or Only ِا َّل .Is the Name Allah ّ للاه In the lower section, the word “Allah” is written partially on top of the word “except,” noted Gabriel, the author of “Islam and Terrorism” and “Journey Inside the Mind of an Islamic Terrorist.” It is common in Islamic art and Arabic calligraphy, especially when expressing Qur’anic messages on jewelry, to artfully place letters on top of each other to fit them into the allotted space. 119 N.

It is not proper for one to carry something that has Allah's name upon it (unless he is afraid of losing it or having it stolen), while he is going to the bathroom.

12.03 Terrorists infiltrate world's largest Christian charity

LEO HOHMANN

Figure 12.09. Hamas Terrorists Mohammed El Halabi, an employee of World Vision, the world’s largest evangelical Christian charity, has been charged in Israel with funneling tens of millions of dollars to the military wing of Hamas, a designated international terrorist organization affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood.

The arrest was made June 16, according to the Israeli daily Haaretz (The Earth), but a gag order on the case files was lifted Wednesday and Halabi was indicted Thursday. The indictment reveals details of how Hamas infiltrated Federal Way, Washington-based World Vision, a global Christian outreach active in nearly 100 countries.

Halabi, director of World Vision’s Gaza branch, was detained at the Erez crossing in Israel as he was headed back to Gaza on his way home from “routine meetings,” several Israeli news outlets were reporting.

Halabi was being held since June “without access to legal counsel or family visits,” which is normal procedure in Israel for prisoners charged with terrorist- related crimes. 125 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

Last Friday, when El Halabi’s detention had been extended until Aug. 2, World Vision’s eastern Jerusalem office released a statement calling for his release:

“World Vision stands by Mohammad who is a widely respected and well-regarded humanitarian, field manager and trusted colleague of over a decade. He has displayed compassionate leadership on behalf of the children and communities of Gaza through difficult and challenging times, and has always worked diligently and professionally in fulfilling his duties.”

But Halabi only used his “humanitarian” mask as cover for his Islamist work, according to the prosecution’s presentation Thursday in Beer Sheva District Court.

The prosecutor described him as a Hamas activist who has been using his high position in the charity to systematically divert millions of dollars to the military arm of Hamas, financing, among other things, the digging of terror tunnels, the Jewish Press reported.

The secret terrorist funding, according to Thursday’s indictment, was taken out of donations and resources that had been dedicated to humanitarian assistance for Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip. The indictment includes 12 counts of security violations of passing information to the enemy, membership in a terror organization, funding terrorism, participation in an unlawful association, and contact with foreign agents.

Hamas has controlled the Gaza Strip since Palestinian elections were held in 2006.

126 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

Figure 12.10. Hamas tunnels. Part of the money diverted from World Vision’s Christian donors went to pay for the digging of tunnels from which terrorists launched attacks on Jews inside Israel.

Hamas is the Palestinian wing of the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist organization whose goal is to inspire Muslims worldwide to return to the roots of their faith as spelled out in the Quran and create a global caliphate under Shariah law.

The fact that the Brotherhood has infiltrated the world’s largest international Christian aid group, World Vision, confirms the worst fears of Brotherhood experts such as Dr. Mark Christian, a former imam with family ties to the Brotherhood who left his native Egypt in 2003.

“From the Brotherhood’s point of view there is nothing better than to deceive and get involved with organizations that make it look like they are going to help the poor kids of Gaza when in reality no kid is getting helped and it is all going to the terrorist actions to kill Jews,” said Christian, who heads up the Global Faith Institute based in Omaha, Nebraska.

Christian said World Vision started out in 1950 as a great organization focused on helping missionaries out in the field “and to really do the good work of Christ.”

But the organization started changing in the 1970s, he said.

“And I think that is a key dividing line in history,” Christian said. “That’s when you started seeing Christian leaders becoming more accepting of other religions, and the Muslim Brotherhood around that same time started to internationalize their mission of spreading Islamism around the world

127 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

and they discovered they could deceive a lot of these naïve Christian leaders.”

World Vision today has an annual budget of more than $2 billion and its top executive, Richard Stearns, was paid a salary of $380,000 in 2013, among the top nonprofit salaries in the country that year.

“And you see the direction of the organization itself change from a Christian missionary organization to now more of a global anti-poverty agency that says ‘yeah we are doing this great work but we are not going to evangelize the world,’ and you see that reflected in their generic slogans that appeal to the donors but is not really doing the work of Christ and the Great Commission,” Christian said.

World Vision’s slogan is “Our vision for every child, life in all its fullness; our prayer for every heart, the will to make it so.”

CEO admits to not sharing gospel with the needy In a 2007 interview with Guy Kawasaki, Stearns admitted that World Vision does not evangelize anyone.

“As a Christian organization, we are motivated by our commitment to Christ to love our neighbors and care for the less fortunate. That’s why we do what we do. We don’t proselytize,” Stearns said. “We do not force our religious beliefs on anyone, and we don’t discriminate in our delivery of aid in any way. If the people we serve want to know why we are there, we tell them.”

The top executives of World Vision are now more expert in raising funds and the business side of the outreach than the Christian side, Christian told WND. “He is very highly compensated and he brags about his relationship with Bill Gates and Bono.

“So, you see his one-world vision and working by good deeds but never saying anything about your faith, and working with the globalists like Bill Gates and others. So you have the transformation of a good organization into a one-world kind of mentality. And that transformation started taking place in the 1970s. The real rise of that new mentality took off in the 1990s during the Clinton era and afterward.”

12.04 World Vision agent a member of Hamas since 2004

The indictment states Halabi joined Hamas’ armed wing Izzedin al-Qassam in 2004 and was directed in 2005 to infiltrate a major humanitarian organization so as “to be close to decision makers in a foreign organization, to be involved in the group and operate secretly to advance al-Qassam’s interests.”

128 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

The Shin Bet accuses Halabi of joining World Vision and sending its funds to Hamas’ military wing, some of it to fund digging military-related tunnels and to purchase weapons, Haaretz reported.

The Israeli intelligence agency alleges that a sum of $80,000 contributed by British donors to assist needy families and support civilian projects in Gaza was used to build a Hamas position in the Gaza town of Beit Hanun, to pay Hamas activists’ salaries and bonuses to members who had fought against Israel in the 2014 war, according to the Haaretz article.

“This serves to demonstrate the need for an extra dose of vigilance and discernment on the part of Christian leadership in these prophetic times in which we are living,” said Carl Gallups, a Baptist pastor in Florida who is also an author and host of a weekly radio show.

“One of the known techniques of the Muslim Brotherhood organization is to ‘infiltrate’ outside institutions until those institutions are brought totally under their control, or are at least under controlled manipulation,” Gallups, author of “Final Warning” and “Be Thou Prepared: Equipping the Church for Persecution and Times of Trouble,” told WND. 12.05 Christian Donors Must Be ‘Watchful’

Christians should be constantly watchful for possible infiltration, and once a nefarious breach has been detected, they need to “come together en masse and immediately discontinue the funding of those organizations,” Gallups said. “They also need to thoroughly publicize the infiltration to the world, using every means at their disposal.”

“We have seen, and it has been extensively reported upon, the Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of our own U.S. government, various ‘public relations’ organizations, our public school systems, and even local government offices and agencies.”

Now the Christian world is given another clear example of this plotted and planned incursion, he said. But will they listen and watch?

“This, no doubt, is not the only such instance. I would imagine there are several other Christian institutions where the tentacles of radical Islam have gained their foothold,” Gallups said.

“America’s pastors, churches, and civic leaders had best get their collective heads out of the sand and wake up to the times in which we are now living. Without strong leadership in biblical and constitutional principles of truth and righteousness – and rule of law … we are doomed.”

129 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

Halabi’s attorney, Mohammed Mahmoud, told Haaretz on Thursday his client denies any links to Hamas.

Mahmoud said Halabi has told his investigators that the entire Gaza Strip is under absolute Hamas rule and armed members of the organization take whatever they want from the organization’s storage depots.

“Israel can link anyone living in the Gaza Strip to Hamas. Mohammed (Halabi) does not belong to the organization nor is he affiliated with Hamas,” Halabi’s lawyer told Haaretz.

Halabi’s actions were allegedly taken with the knowledge of other World Vision employees and sometimes with their involvement, the Shin Bet asserts, but were allegedly hidden from World Vision’s top officials.

Israeli intelligence officials contend that about 60 percent of the funds from World Vision’s Gaza operations were diverted to Hamas, according to Haaretz. Under Shin Bet interrogation, Halabi is said to have provided considerable information about the methods used to transfer the funds.

Halabi would allegedly invite a fictitious public bidding process in which the funds were sent directly to Hamas, Haaretz reported. The Islamic group’s members would purportedly be listed as farmers entitled to assistance and their children as disabled so that they would also qualify for assistance.

Some of charity’s own funds were said to have been transferred to Hamas to build military positions and finance tunnel digging, through the purchase of excavation equipment, iron, piping and building materials.

So, for example, Halabi is said to have initiated a project purportedly involving the construction of greenhouses when, in actuality, the Shin Bet claims the greenhouses were used to conceal tunnel excavation sites, Haaretz reports. And projects purportedly meant to assist Gaza fishermen would actually supply diving suits and motorboats to Hamas’ naval force.

In another instance, Shin Bet officials say World Vision trucks were sent from Israel through the Kerem Shalom crossing point and then on directly to Hamas warehouses rather than to World Vision storage facilities.

The cargo was said to have included food parcels designated for the needy, and personal hygiene kits.

Halabi was indicted on Thursday for a list of security offenses.

A call by WND to World Vision headquarters in the U.S. Thursday was not immediately returned.”

13. The Disinformation Campaign

Ex-spymaster: Obama thrives on 'Disinformation' Highest-ranking communist defector reveals secret strategies that are destroying America {Or: A Tribute? to Saul Lewinski7}

Millions of people, shaken to their core by the never-ending outrages of the Age of Obama, are asking questions like these:  Why is outright Marxism increasingly taking root in America?  Why has Islamic radicalism and terrorism burst aflame after a long period of apparent quiescence?  And why do so many Americans – even the U.S. president – seem to hate their own country today? Like the solution to a giant jigsaw puzzle lacking one crucial piece, the new blockbuster book "Disinformation" – written by the highest-ranking spy chief ever to defect to America from the Soviet bloc – provides the missing piece of the puzzle that makes the dizzying chaos of the modern world finally understandable. The author, Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa, is living under deep cover in the United States due to ongoing assassination threats, but he is speaking out – one more time. The last time he spoke out, a quarter century ago in his international bestseller "Red Horizons," Pacepa exposed the massive crimes and corruption of his former boss, Romanian President Nicolae Ceausescu, giving the dictator a nervous breakdown and inspiring him to send assassination squads to the U.S. to find his former spy chief and kill him. They failed. On Christmas Day 1989, Ceausescu was executed by his own people at the end of a trial whose accusations came almost word-for-word out of "Red Horizons." President Ronald Reagan (seen below holding Pacepa's "Red Horizons") reportedly referred to it as "my bible for dealing with dictators."

Figure 13.01. President Ronald Reagan With historian Ronald Rychlak And Book “Disinformation”.

Today, the man credited by the CIA as the only person in the Western world who single-handedly demolished an entire enemy espionage service – the one he himself managed – is now taking aim at an even bigger target: the exotic, widely misunderstood but still astonishingly influential realm of disinformation.

Within the pages of "Disinformation: Former Spy Chief Reveals Secret Strategies for Undermining Freedom, Attacking Religion, and Promoting Terrorism,"

Pacepa, along with his co-author, historian Ronald Rychlak, expose some of the most consequential yet largely unknown disinformation campaigns of our lifetime. Campaigns that have secretly changed the lives of Americans in profound ways.

To begin with, Pacepa and Rychlak reveal that the Soviet Union's immense intelligence apparatus, unlike other nations' spy establishments, was not primarily focused on spying and gathering intel. Instead, the communist bloc intelligence services, including the Russian KGB and the Romanian DIE headed by Pacepa, were much more preoccupied with rewriting history, manufacturing lies, deception and false documents, turning one religion against another, defaming the noblest people and glorifying the worst, and – perhaps most importantly – with planting an endless barrage of false, perverse, anti-American disinformation into the liberal Western news media.

And the disinformation continues right on into the present day – indeed it is one of most crucial, though little understood, reasons America is at war with itself.

By its very nature, a disinformation campaign can work only if the seemingly independent Western press accepts intentionally fabricated lies and presents them to the public as truth. Thus, Pacepa and Rychlak document how the U.S. "mainstream media's" enduring sympathy for all things liberal-left has made it vulnerable to – indeed, the prime carrier of – civilization-transforming campaigns 135 N. Carlson THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? The CFBC

of lying, defamation and historical revisionism that turn reality on its head. In "Disinformation," you'll discover:

 How destroying the reputation of good leaders has been developed into a high art and science.  How Pope Pius XII – a generation ago the world's most high-profile Christian leader, who personally saved countless Jews from Hitler's Holocaust – was transformed, through the magic of disinformation, into a Nazi sympathizer.  How Christianity and Judaism have been targeted for constant denigration and defamation through an ongoing campaign of disinformation.  How the Soviet bloc planted 4,000 agents of influence in the Islamic world, armed with hundreds of thousands of copies of the most infamous anti- Semitic book in history, to fan the flames of ancient Arab resentments against the U.S. and Israel and sow the seeds of anti-Semitism that would later bloom in the form of violence and terror toward Jews and Christians.  How the defamatory attacks on American soldiers John Kerry made before Congress upon his return from Vietnam – charges later discredited and repudiated – were identical to a contemporaneous KGB disinformation campaign concocted to turn Americans against their own leaders.  How supposedly respectable institutions like the World Council of Churches have long been infiltrated and controlled by Russian intelligence.  How much of the world came to believe that the U.S. government itself masterminded the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.  How the Soviet Union has been transformed into the first intelligence dictatorship in history.  How disinformation is still very much alive in the age of Obama, remaining a powerful engine in the ongoing socialist transformation of America. All this and much more is meticulously documented in "Disinformation," with the credibility of an eyewitness who was not only there, but actively involved as a Soviet bloc spy chief – who, thanks to a crisis of conscience, "left the dark side" and came to America to help shine a light on the greatest source of political evil of the modern age.

INTRODUCTORY REMARKS ON I JOHN

I. Authorship and Date

A. External evidence

1. Ireneaus (115-125 to 202?) states that this epistle was written by John the Apostle at the end of Domitian's (51-96) reign. Domitian became Roman Emperor after the death of his brother Titus, in A.D. 81. Iraneaus was a pupil of Polycarp of Smyrna, the pupil of John the Apostle.

2. Clement of Alexandria (150 TO 219?), claims it to be John the Apostle's

3. Tertullian (150 to 240?), also cited it as John's

4. Origen (185 to 254?) quotes this epistle and refers to it as John's.

5. Dionysis (190-265), a student of Origen, regards this epistle as written by the same author as the gospel.

6. Polycarp (69-155), John's disciple, alludes to the content of this letter by quoting it several times.

The date of I John is probably 90-95 A.D; the author, the Apostle John.

B. Internal Evidence

1. I John 1:1-4 indicates the writer was evidently an eyewitness to the Incarnated and Resurrected body of Jesus Christ which he assumes is a real, physical body.

2. He writes, as one having authority, to his little children. Note the diminutive τεκνια.

3. The fact it was considered canonical from the first, while written without an author's name, is one of the more significant indications that this letter is from some important individual in the church. Part of the reason names are not mentioned by individuals is that, to them, there is no question of authorship.

4. The simplicity of style and commonality of words and expressions between this letter and John's Gospel show that the Gospel writer, the Epistle writer, and the Apocalypse writer were all the same. A look at the Greek manuscript of John 1:1 with I John 1:1, II John 7, Rev. 1:8 and I John 1:4 with III John 4 indicate similarity and at times exactness of expression. 145 N. Carlson INTRODUCTORY REMARKS ON I JOHN The CFBC

II. The Character of the writing

A. No greeting, no address, no benediction, no author's name all of which were customary in the epistolary style of the 1st century.

B. In many ways this is more a theological and practical treatise of Christian doctrine (like Hebrews) than an epistle, and yet in spite of this it retains the personal touch of "I write unto you little children."

C. Christ as the very Word of the Father, the very God Incarnate, is preeminent in the book.

D. The style is simple, forceful, graphic, beautiful, - no storm of words. John operates on the idea that "If you can't say what you mean in 10 words of less you don't understand the subject."

E. The voice of an unquestioned teacher to disciples who are assumed to be anxious to fulfill their calling. John states the case without resorting to a lengthy defense.

III. The Occasion for the Writing

Attacks came on the Church from within and without but especially by those that had adulterated the Gospel with the Pagan/Judiastic/Philosophical conjectures of that day. There was no name especially given to those heresy's in those days, but today we call their heresy "Gnosticism" from the Greek noun γνωσις (knowledge).

The ground work of Gnosticism was supplied by a number of mythologies which had become fused together in the process of Religious/Philosophical Syncretism. This was in part due to displacement of cultures by religious rulers from early times until more than 200 years after the foundation of Christianity. It also was helped in part by wild interpretation of Scripture that was an attempt to make God's Word fit whatever the interpreter might think were "good" elements in other religions and cultures.

A. The Gnostic Doctrine of God:

They held that the Supreme Being was an Ineffable God. i.e., too overpowering to be expressed in words; indefinable and therefore non-propositional and unknowable.

146 N. Carlson INTRODUCTORY REMARKS ON I JOHN The CFBC

An Illustration of the Gnostic Doctrine of the World

Aeon were thought of as dualistic, attributes and powers of the unknowable arranged as male and female pairs (syzygies1). e.g., "God begets first the masculine productive mind or reason (ο νους) with the feminine receptive truth (η αληθεια). These two produce the word (ο λογος) and the life (η ζωη) and these again produce the (ideal) man (ο ανθρωπος) and the (ideal) church (η εκκλησια)...... These Aeons together constitute the Pleroma (πληρωμα), the plentitude of divine powers which Paul applies to the Historical Christ in Col. 2:92

1 Syzygy: a joining together, conjunction. 2 Schaff., History of the Christian Church, Vol II, pp 474f, Doctrines of Valentinian Gnosticism 147 N. Carlson INTRODUCTORY REMARKS ON I JOHN The CFBC

B. The Gnostic Doctrine of Sin

Sin to them was ignorance (ala Socrates of Greek Philosophy). Righteousness (and hence salvation) came by knowledge (γνωσις) of specific Gnostic "truths" imparted by their teaching

C. The Gnostic Doctrine of Man (Anthropology):

Man consists of Spirit (πνευματικος - pneumatikos1), soul (ψυχικος - psychikos2), body (σωματικος - somatikos3, φυσικος - phusikos4, σαρκικος - sarkikos5, ὑλικος - hylikos6).

The body being material is, according to the Gnostic doctrine, evil. This body is unredeemable. Only the Spirit and the soulish part of man being non-material are redeemable7. The Gnosticism that John was writing about was not a fully developed form that was in evidence later in the 2nd and 3rd centuries.

D. The Gnostic Doctrine of Redemption (Soteriology):

Redemption is a deliverance from the material world, which is regarded as intrinsically evil.

e.g. the syncretistic element of Gnosticism changed the Persian dualism of light and darkness as two natural principles in eternal conflict, into the metaphysical conflict of spirit verses matter.

This deliverance was also thought to be an escape to a world of freedom. The escape was necessary in Gnosticism because the "evil" material world was predetermined by the syncretism of oriental fatalism. e.g. Astrological beliefs that all of creation is subject to the motion of planets.

1 Spiritual as opposed to somatikos. Eph. 6:12; I Cor. 15:44, 45, 2:13,15, 3:1, 14:37; Gal. 6:1; I Pet 2:5; Rom. 1:11, 7:14; I or. 2:13, 10:3,4, 12:1, 14:1; Eph. 1:3, 5:19, Col. 1:9, 3:16; I Pet. 2:5, Rom 15:27, I Cor. 9:11 + 2 The lower part of the immaterial in man - soulish.

Rom. 1:26,27; II Pet. 2:12 + 5 Associated with, or pertaining to the flesh, fleshly, carnal: under control of hose appetites. Rom. 15:27; I Cor. 9:11; I Cor. 3:3; II Cor. 1:12, 10:4; I Pet. 2:11 + 6 Evil matter. Not found in N.T. 7 C.f., Prof. Murray Harris - Timothy C. Morgan, THE MOTHER OF ALL MUDDLES, 5 April 1993, Christianity Today - Vol 37 - No. 4. 148 N. Carlson INTRODUCTORY REMARKS ON I JOHN The CFBC

E. The Gnostic Doctrine of a Physical Resurrection

The Gnostic doctrine of a physical resurrection or of personal immortality, was impossible due to the inherent evil of matter. Their concept was the freedom of the soul to be re-united with the Pleroma (the fullness of the Divine being). Characteristically, redemption was possible for only a limited number of chosen spirits - sort of a caricature of the Christian doctrine of election. Early Gnostics recognized only two classes of men: 1, spiritual; 2, an inferior class variously referred to as psychikos, choixos, or hylikos.

Later Gnostic schools allowed for three types of individuals:

1. Spiritual - pneumatikos - those having gnosis 2. Soulish - psychikos - ordinary Christians having only pistis - πιστις (faith) 3. Material - hylikos - ὑλικος - the inferior class, paying attention only to evil material things - non-redeemable.

F. Incipient Gnosticism

Although 1st Century Gnosticism cannot be isolated to a particular set of doctrinal beliefs due to the wide diversity of "Gnostic" theology, and, being in its incipient (beginning) stage, certain basic beliefs can be written down that characterize a wide section of the Gnostic adherents.

1. The unknowability of the Supreme Being (God is totally other), c.f., neo- orthodoxy.

2. Allegorization or mythologization of Scripture to fit Gnostic theology (avoids historical-grammatical interpretation)

3. Only the pneumatic (spiritual) part of man is redeemable - no bodily resurrection.

4. Stressing self-knowledge rather than ethics and doctrine (sensitivity training)

5. Salvation via esoteric knowledge, e.g. simple Bible stories about Jesus, a literal cross, a real resurrection may be sufficient for common people, ordinary churchmen, but, the really spiritual person goes beyond this to see cross, resurrection, ascension, pentecost, etc. merely as symbols of higher truths, c.f., liberalism.

149 N. Carlson INTRODUCTORY REMARKS ON I JOHN The CFBC

Abraham's trek to Palestine is really "the story of a Stoic (Abram) Philosopher who leaves Chaldea (sensual understanding) and stops at Haran which means "holes," and signifies the emptiness of knowing things by holes (the senses). When he becomes Abraham he becomes a truly enlightened Philosopher! To marry Sarah is to marry Abstract Wisdom!

6. Consider the conduct of a Gnostic: Starting with the basic concept that matter is evil (and so the body), Gnostics came up with basically two different conclusions.

a. The body is of this world so it doesn't matter what one does with it.

b. The body is matter and hence evil so it is to be negated - adherents became strict ascetics.

7. Gnostics picked up Orthodox Christian terminology to express what was basically an un-Christian philosophy.

8. The human element in redemption was merely a deceptive appearance - He only seemed real.

IV. The Subject Of The Writing.

The subject then is twofold:

1. To Expose And Defend The Church Against Gnosticism.

The Gnostic system was like Grandma's stew; an assortment of Greek philosophy, Jewish speculations, Eastern mysticism, Christian phraseology, in a base of Persian dualism, violently seasoned with a blend of allegorism, an excess of type and symbol, the whole mess covered over with a bonnet of the irrational. It was then, a syncretistic amalgamation of about everything known to man.

The church at this stage was fighting for it's life due to the confounding pseudo- intellectualism of the Gnostic adherents. John's letter, as we will see, points out these errors one by one and gives us a sample for an apologetic (defense) against error in our day. The church that doesn't realize a battle is going on, has become a spectator. In such conflicts, God commands us to be participants (Eph. 5, etc.). John's methods, when rightly understood and utilized, will make us better prepared ambassadors for Jesus Christ.

2. The Presentation Of The Son of God.

150 N. Carlson INTRODUCTORY REMARKS ON I JOHN The CFBC

So, what does John do? He presents the God Man, Jesus, the Son of God, Savior, Defender and Sustainer of all who believe.

This epistle like Colossians presents a powerful apologetic (polemic) against Gnosticism. There are four Greek words that may be used to illustrate this conundrum. First is the word Control, that Paul uses, then comes Knowledge, then comes Wisdom the higher plane that comes from Full Experiential Knowledge and last but not least Spiritual. Word Definitions <1922> π γνωσις epignosis: Full experiential knowledge; a word that upstages the gnostic Gnosis. <4678> σοφ α sophia sof-ee’-ah; from 4680; wisdom (higher or lower, worldly or spiritual):— wisdom. <4152> πνευματικός pneumatikos pnyoo-mat-ik-os’; from 4151; non-carnal, i.e. (humanly) ethereal (as opposed to gross), or (daemoniacally) a spirit (concretely), or (divinely) supernatural, regenerate, religious:— spiritual.

1 Samuel Prideaux Tregelles (30 January 1813 – 24 April 1875) was an English biblical scholar, textual critic, and theologian. Life Tregelles was born at Wodehouse Place, Falmouth, of Quaker parents, but he himself for many years was in communion with the Plymouth Brethren and then later in life became a Presbyterian (or perhaps an Anglican). He was the son of Samuel Tregelles (1789–1828) and his wife Dorothy (1790–1873) and was the nephew of Edwin Octavius Tregelles. He was educated at Falmouth classical school from 1825 to 1828. For a time Tregelles worked at the ironworks, Neath Abbey, Glamorgan, where he devoted his spare time to learning Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Welsh. His interest in Welsh developed from a desire to spread the Christian gospel and especially to combat the influence of atheism, Roman Catholicism, and Mormonism in Wales. Tregelles became a private tutor in Falmouth, and finally devoted himself to scholarship until incapacitated by paralysis in 1870. In April 1839 Tregelles married Sarah Anna Prideaux (born 22 September 1807). They had no children. Tregelles received an LL.D. degree from St Andrews in 1850 and a pension of £200 from the civil list in 1862. He died at Plymouth. Works Discovering that the textus receptus did not rest on ancient authority, Tregelles decided to publish a new version of the Greek text of the New Testament based on ancient manuscripts and the citations of the early church fathers, his work paralleling that of German philologist and textual critic, Karl Lachmann. Tregelles first became generally known through his Book of Revelation in Greek Edited from Ancient Authorities (1844), which contained the announcement of his intention to prepare the new Greek New Testament. In 1845 he went to Rome intending to collate the codex belonging to the Vatican. Although he was not allowed to copy the manuscript, he did note important readings. Having memorized a good deal of the Codex Vaticanus by each day memorizing a portion and then going home & writing it down, day after day. He then published this portion and it is said that the Vatican was so impressed they released the entire Codex for publication. From Rome he went to Florence, Modena, Venice, Munich, and Basel, reading and collating manuscripts. He returned to England in November 1846, continuing to collate manuscripts in the British Museum. Tregelles also visited Paris, Hamburg, Berlin (where he met Lachmann), and Leipzig (where he collaborated with Constantin von Tischendorf), Dresden, Wolfenbüttel, and Utrecht. Most of his numerous publications had reference to his great critical edition of the New Testament (1857-1872). They include an Account of the Printed Text of the Greek New Testament (1854), a new edition of T. H. Horne's Introduction (1860), and Canon Muratorianus: Earliest Catalogue of Books of the New Testament (1868). Tregelles was a member of the English revision committee overseeing the preparation of the Bible translation known as the Revised Version (or English Revised Version) of which the New Testament was published in 1881, six years after his death. Tregelles also wrote Heads of Hebrew Grammar (1852), translated Gesenius's Hebrew Lexicon (1846, 1857) from Latin, and was the author of a little work on the Jansenists (1851) and of various works in exposition of his special eschatological views including Remarks on the Prophetic Visions of Daniel (1852, new ed., 1864) and The Hope of Christ's Second Coming (1864). Like his cousin by marriage, Benjamin Wills Newton, who was instrumental

in Tregelles's conversion and who helped finance publication of his books, Tregelles was a post tribulationist. {a common belief of those of the reformed persuation. He left the plymouth‎Brethren‎(John‎Nelson‎Darby’s‎group)‎and‎became‎a‎Presbyterian}

An acquaintance said of Tregelles that he was "able to shed a light upon any topic that might be introduced," but that to ask him a question was dangerous because "doing so was like reaching to take a book and having the whole shelf-full precipitated upon your head." Despite his erudition, Tregelles was also a warm-hearted evangelical who wrote many hymns, now largely forgotten, the earliest of which were published in the Plymouth Brethren's Hymns for the Poor of the Flock (1838).

Al Islam Ibn Taymiyyah [May Allah have mercy upon him]. Ibn Taymiyyah had a life full of tests and continuous trials, he was an 'Alim that manifested his knowledge with action, in which this brief extract covers matters of Jihad, He himself, engaged in Jihad in his life time during the Jihad against the Tatars, who took rule and and judged by al-Yasiq, a book in which they ruled the people by the previous scriptures. Due to this, Sheikh-Al Islam Ibn Taymiyyah declared Kufr upon them for this act of apostasy, and waged Jihad against them for consecutive years by forming many battalions, until the ruling state returned to the Muwahidoon. In this time, where the concept of Jihad is taboo, in which the rulings of Jihad have been distorted, whether it be by the modernists who water down the Religion of Allah, or the Salafiyyah Jadeedah that distort the texts and place restricted conditions of Jihad, that no classical scholar has preceded them in, in which they do this only to protect and defend their Tawaghit governments. The legislated Jihad, that was sent to the Prophet Muhammad (salallahu 'alayhi wasallam), firstly , to fight those who are fighting them [Jihad ad-Daf], then the order to fight the Mushrikin until the religion is for Allah alone [Jihad at-Talab]. Imam Ibn Taymiyyah covers an important aspect that majority of the Muslims are ignorant about, and from the Ahlul Ilm that exists among the ranks of the Murji'ah, such texts are neglected and abandoned although this same party claims to follow the Sheikh. As for one extreme, among the Ghulaat al-Murji'ah who claim as long as one testifies the Shahadatyn, his faith is protected and it is Haram for the Muslims to fight or declare Takfir upon such a person, where as on the other hand there are some whom claim that no one [Specifically the Rulers] are to be fought, regardless or not if they implement or abandon the Shari'ah, but are to be obeyed restrictively, and from Allah we seek refuge in this for no text backs such a claim. Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah covers extensively in his works within Majmu al-Fatawa, the obligation of fighting those who abandon any of the Wajibaat [Obligatory actions], or refuse to make forbidden the prohibited matters in the Shari'ah, as well as those who refuse to apply the Ahkam [Laws] in the Shari'ah concerning many matters, where such judgments have been evident in the Quran and Sunnah. And from Allah is all Success. 4 Quote from DABIQ issue 14, 1437 Rajab, Forward. “All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the creation. May blessings and peace be upon His Messenger, Muhammad, and upon all his family and companions. To proceed: For nearly two years, Muslims in the lands of the Khilāfah have watched their beloved brothers, sisters, and children being relentlessly bombed by crusader warplanes. The scenes of carnage, of blood and limbs scattered in the streets, have become commonplace for the believers. The yearning for revenge has taken seed and has grown steadily in the hearts of the grieving widows, distressed orphans, and solemn soldiers; and the fruits are ready for harvest. The crusaders claim to bear the standard of “liberty” and “justice” for all the oppressed peoples of the world, when in fact their tyranny knows no limits when directed against the Muslim Ummah. It was only a matter of time before the brunt of the Ummah’s wrath fell upon them and awakened them to reality. The death of a single Muslim, no matter his role in society, is more grave to the believer than the massacre of every kāfir on earth. And while the Sharī’ah 153 N. Carlson END NOTES The CFBC

calls for the invasion of all kāfir lands, certainly the aggressors are dealt with before those nations not actively waging war against the Khilāfah. This is an obvious reality. Any disbeliever standing in the way of the Islamic State will be killed, without pity or remorse, until Muslims suffer no harm and governance is entirely for Allah. Brussels, the heart of Europe, has been struck. The blood of its vitality spilled on the ground, trampled under the feet of the mujāhidīn. Flames ignited years ago in Iraq have now scorched the battleground of Belgium, soon to spread to the rest of crusader Europe and the West. Paris was a warning. Brussels was a reminder. What is yet to come will be more devastating and more bitter by the permission of Allah, and Allah prevails” 5 Tan, Ibid.

The Manchurian Candidate is a 1962 American Cold War suspense thriller directed by John Frankenheimer that stars Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey and Janet Leigh and co- stars Angela Lansbury, Henry Silva and James Gregory. Its screenplay, by George Axelrod, is based on the 1959 novel by Richard Condon.

The premise of the film is the brainwashing of the son of a prominent right-wing political family as an unwitting assassin in an international communist conspiracy. The Manchurian Candidate was released in the United States on October 24, 1962, at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The film was well-received and gained nominations for two Academy Awards.

In 1994, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." Plot

During the Korean War, the Soviets capture a U.S. platoon and take them to Manchuria in Communist China. Some days later, all but two of the soldiers return to U.S. lines and Staff Sergeant Raymond Shaw is credited with saving their lives in combat. Upon the recommendation of the platoon's commander, Captain Bennett Marco, Raymond is awarded the Medal of Honor for his reported heroism. When asked to describe him, Marco and the other soldiers automatically respond, "Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life." Deep down, however, they know that Shaw is a cold, sad, unsympathetic loner.

Following his return to the U.S., Marco, who has since been promoted to Major, suffers from a recurring nightmare in which a hypnotized Shaw blithely and brutally murders the two missing soldiers before the assembled military brass of Communist nations, during a practical demonstration of a revolutionary brainwashing technique. Marco wants to investigate, but has no solid evidence to back his claims and thus receives no support from Army Intelligence. However, Marco learns that another soldier from the platoon, Allen Melvin, has had the same nightmare. When Melvin and Marco separately identify some of the men in the dream as leading figures in communist governments, Army Intelligence agrees to help Marco investigate.

Sgt. Shaw (Harvey, left) meets Major Marco (Sinatra, right), after having jumped into a lake in Central Park, New York. Meanwhile, Shaw's mother, Mrs. Eleanor Iselin, drives the political career of her husband and Shaw's stepfather, Senator John Yerkes Iselin, a McCarthy-like demagogue who is widely dismissed as a fool. Senator Iselin finds a newfound political profile when he claims that varying numbers of communists work within the Department of Defense. However, unknown to Raymond, Mrs. Iselin herself is actually a Communist agent with a plan intended to secure the presidency under Communist influence. Mrs. Iselin is the American "operator" responsible for controlling Raymond, who was conditioned in Manchuria to be an unwitting assassin whose actions are triggered by a Queen of Diamonds playing card. When he sees it, he will blindly obey the next suggestion or order given to him and never have any memories of his actions. It is revealed that Shaw's It opens with a group of soldiers whooping it up in a bar in Korea as their commander, Sgt. Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey), arrives to inform them that they're back on duty. These men obviously have no fondness for Shaw, and he feels no empathy for them. While on patrol, Shaw and his platoon are ambushed by Korean troops. Months later, Shaw is receiving a hero's welcome as he returns to the United States to accept the Congressional Medal of Honor, and several of the soldiers who served under Shaw repeatedly refer to him as "the bravest, finest, most lovable man I ever met." It soon becomes evident that after their capture by the Koreans, Shaw and his men were subjected to an intense program of brainwashing prior to their release. While several are troubled by bad dreams and inexplicable behavior, it's Capt. Bennett Marco (Frank Sinatra) who seems the most haunted by the experience. On the other side of the coin, Shaw is also used for political gain by his harridan mother (Angela Lansbury), who guides the career of her second husband, John Iselin (James Gregory), a bone-headed congressman hoping to win the vice-presidential nomination through a campaign of anti- Communist hysteria. Raymond Shaw’s heroism was a false memory implanted in the platoon during their conditioning, and that the actions for which Shaw was awarded his Medal of Honor never took place. Shaw's conditioning is reinforced by a North Korean agent who supervises him under the pretext of acting as his cook and houseboy. When Marco visits Shaw's apartment, he becomes suspicious of the Korean and they engage in a fight using karate techniques.In time, Marco is able to piece together what happened; it seems Raymond Shaw was programmed by a shadowy cadre of Russian and Chinese agents into a killing 156 N.

machine who will assassinate anyone, even a close friend, when given the proper commands. Raymond briefly finds happiness when he rekindles a youthful romance with Jocelyn Jordan, the daughter of Senator Thomas Jordan (John McGiver), one of his stepfather's political rivals. Mrs. Iselin had previously broken up the relationship, but now facilitates the couple's reunion as part of her scheme to garner Jordan's support for her husband's bid for Vice President. Jocelyn, wearing a Queen of Diamonds costume, inadvertently hypnotizes Raymond at a costume party and elopes with him. Although pleased with the match, Jordan makes it clear that he will block Senator Iselin's nomination. Mrs. Iselin triggers Raymond and sends him to kill Jordan; he also shoots Jocelyn when she happens upon the scene. Raymond has no knowledge of his actions and is grief-stricken when he learns of the murders. After discovering the card's role in Raymond's conditioning, Marco uses a forced deck to get the full story. He then verbally drills into Raymond the suggestion or affirmation that the Queen of Diamonds no longer has any power over him. Mrs. Iselin primes her son to assassinate their party's presidential nominee at the nomination convention so that Senator Iselin, as the vice-presidential candidate, will become the nominee by default and elected with emergency powers that, in Mrs. Iselin's words, "will make martial law seem like anarchy." Mrs. Iselin tells Raymond that she did not know that he was to be selected by the Communists, but vows that once in power she will "grind them into the dirt" in revenge. With Marco's attempt to free Raymond from his conditioning appearing to have failed, Raymond enters Madison Square Garden disguised as a priest and takes position to carry out the assassination. Marco and his supervisor, Colonel Milt, arrive at the convention to stop him. As the nominee (Robert Riordan) makes his speech, Raymond, instead of assassinating him, shoots his stepfather before shooting his mother with the sniper rifle she gave him. He then commits suicide in front of Marco while wearing his Medal of Honor. Marco, in the film's final scene, voices a putative Medal of Honor citation for Raymond's genuine act of heroism.

Here is the complete list from Alinsky; by Glenn Beck

*‎RULE‎1:‎“Power‎is‎not‎only‎what‎you‎have,‎but‎what‎the‎enemy‎thinks‎you‎have.”‎Power‎ is derived from 2 main sources – money‎and‎people.‎“Have-Nots”‎must‎build‎power‎from‎ flesh and blood. (These are two things of which there is a plentiful supply. Government and corporations always have a difficult time appealing to people, and usually do so almost exclusively with economic arguments.)

*‎RULE‎2:‎“Never‎go‎outside‎the‎expertise‎of‎your‎people.”‎It‎results‎in‎confusion,‎fear‎and‎ retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone. (Organizations under attack wonder‎why‎radicals‎don’t‎address‎the‎“real”‎issues.‎This‎is‎why.‎They‎avoid‎things‎with‎ which they have no knowledge.)

*‎RULE‎3:‎“Whenever‎possible,‎go‎outside‎the‎expertise‎of‎the‎enemy.”‎Look‎for‎ways‎to‎ increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many 157 N. Carlson END NOTES The CFBC

organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)

*‎RULE‎4:‎“Make‎the‎enemy‎live‎up‎to‎its‎own‎book‎of‎rules.”‎If‎the‎rule‎is‎that‎every‎letter‎ gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey‎all‎of‎their‎own‎rules.‎(This‎is‎a‎serious‎rule.‎The‎besieged‎entity’s‎very‎credibility‎ and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments,‎they‎can‎continue‎to‎chip‎away‎at‎the‎damage.)‎[As‎in‎“Read‎My‎Lips,‎No‎ New‎TAXES”]

*‎RULE‎5:‎“Ridicule‎is‎man’s‎most‎potent‎weapon.”‎There‎is‎no‎defense.‎It’s‎irrational.‎It’s‎ infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)

*‎RULE‎6:‎“A‎good‎tactic‎is‎one‎your‎people‎enjoy.”‎They’ll‎keep‎doing‎it‎without‎urging‎ and‎come‎back‎to‎do‎more.‎They’re‎doing‎their‎thing,‎and‎will even suggest better ones. (Radical activists, in this sense, are no different that any other human being. We all avoid “un-fun”‎activities,‎and‎but‎we‎revel‎at‎and‎enjoy‎the‎ones‎that‎work‎and‎bring‎results.)

*‎RULE‎7:‎“A‎tactic‎that‎drags‎on‎too‎long‎becomes‎a‎drag.”‎Don’t‎become‎old‎news.‎(Even‎ radical activists get bored. So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.)

*‎RULE‎8:‎“Keep‎the‎pressure‎on.‎Never‎let‎up.”‎Keep‎trying‎new‎things‎to‎keep‎the‎ opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)

*‎RULE‎9:‎“The‎threat‎is‎usually‎more‎terrifying‎than‎the‎thing‎itself.”‎Imagination‎and‎ego‎ can dream up many more consequences than any activist. (Perception is reality. Large organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’‎minds.‎The‎upshot‎is‎that‎the‎organization‎will‎expend‎enormous‎time‎and‎ energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions. The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)

* RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog. (Unions used this tactic. Peaceful [albeit loud] demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid-20th Century incurred management’s‎wrath,‎often‎in‎the‎form‎of‎violence‎that‎eventually‎brought‎public‎ sympathy to their side.) HANDS UP - DON’T‎SHOOT,‎or‎BLACK‎LIVES‎MATTER,‎ which are based on untrue happenings (two lies) which is trying to drive a wedge between dissident black and white folks.

*‎RULE‎11:‎“The‎price‎of‎a‎successful‎attack‎is‎a‎constructive‎alternative.”‎Never‎let‎the‎ enemy‎score‎points‎because‎you’re‎caught‎without‎a‎solution‎to‎the‎problem.‎(Old‎saw:‎If‎ you’re‎not‎part‎of‎the‎solution,‎you’re‎part‎of‎the‎problem.‎Activist‎organizations‎have‎an‎

agenda, and their strategy is to hold a place at the table, to be given a forum to wield their power. So, they have to have a compromise solution.)

* RULE 12: Pick the target,‎freeze‎it,‎personalize‎it,‎and‎polarize‎it.”‎Cut‎off‎the‎support‎ network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

One classic example aside from BHO is the, pardon the expression, “Rev.”, Al Sharpton. Both of these gentlemen’ are skilled in disinformation
