The very first test of Daniel the Prophet in the Bible book that bears his name was whether he would submit to a special “health” regime, mandated by Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar:
“But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the king’s choice food or with the wine which he drank; so he sought permission from the commander of the officials that he might not defile himself….The commander of the officials said to Daniel, ‘I am afraid of my lord the king, who has allotted your food and your drink; for why should he see your faces looking gaunt in comparison to the youths who are your own age? Then you would make me forfeit my head to the king.” But Daniel said to the overseer…‘Please put your servants to the test for ten days, and let us be given some vegetables to eat and water to drink…So he listened to them in this matter, and put them to the test for ten days. And at the end of ten days their appearance seemed better, and they were fatter than all the youths who had been eating the king’s choice food” (Daniel 1:8-15).

This passage seems a close parallel to the scenario of government health mandates that Christians are now facing across the world. 

• The elites, represented here by Nebuchadnezzar, have their own ideas about what is best for the common people, and assume for themselves the right to impose their will by force. 

• The particulars of the mandate, represented in Daniel 1 by certain foods and wine, are about whether or not to allow substances into one’s body against one’s will.

• The motive of the people (Daniel and his three companions) to resist the mandate is religious in nature.  

• The government enforcement mechanism, represented by the Overseer, is coercive implementation by intermediaries such as private businesses which face serious penalties if they don’t serve as health police over their customers/clients.

• The solution, then as now, is a “request” for a religious exemption (backed by the implicit promise of civil disobedience).

• And in the end, just as has been proved by today’s non-vaxers, Daniel’s choice not to submit to the mandate was vindicated by his superior health status compared to those who did.   

Daniel 1 provides a strong support for the Christian Doctrine of Bodily Sovereignty that our First Century Bible Church has codified in our campaign to provide personalized Religious Exemption letters to any Christian who requests one (see FCBible.org). 
Here is a basic summary of the doctrine cited in our letter:

“Our Church believes in the absolute sovereignty of God in all things, and His delegation of authority to human beings over the control of their own minds and bodies (Colossians1:16–17; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20). We believe we possess both the God-given ability to reason and the gift of free will to make our own choices regarding our lives, inclusive of our health and well-being, and that individuals should be the ones to make their own decisions pertaining to any and all medical services and medications, including all decisions regarding vaccines no matter what conditions—including pandemics—may be present. The choice to use or accept any forms of external intervention to address any mental or physical health problem remains a sacred personal right, notwithstanding the opinion of other people, including medical professionals and government officials.”

As we have rolled out this program we have seen a variety of responses from the “Overseers.” Most grant the exemption as a matter of policy, in many cases apparently grateful to have the simple solution of putting a form in their files. Some try to push back against the exemption by forcing the requesting party to prove the sincerity of their religious belief. A few try to craft their “proof of sincerity” policy to be as restrictive as possible, with the apparent goal denying all requests while protecting themselves from the legal consequences. 

The worst of this latter category is the attempt to tie the right of exemption to an official church dogma against all medicines. One hospital went so far as to require all religiously exempt employees to swear off Tylenol and Tums.  In my view this is an unconstitutional effort to “establish religion” by defining what is “acceptable” church doctrine.  
However, as stated above, our doctrinal position is rooted in God-given bodily sovereignty, not a dogmatic opposition to all medicines.   

We have also seen efforts to force people to prove their religious sincerity by how often they attend church, and identifying where they attend church. The implication is that the lack of church attendance, or having an exemption from a non-local church is a disqualifier. We advice people who face this type of resistance to cite the government lockdowns to neutralize those objections. Most Christians had to move to an online church such as ours during the pandemic.

Ultimately, the crux of the religious exemption fight comes down to your sincerity of religious belief – something that cannot truly be known by anyone but you. But as a practical matter, evidence of sincerity is important. Our program has people formally register their agreement with our doctrine to receive a personalized letter on church stationary. That letter alone has been sufficient in most cases. 

Where an employer-mandated additional form must be filled and signed by clergy, we have done that as well for registered members, some of whom report that their own local pastor refuses to do so. I find that shocking, since all that is required in most such cases is an attestation that the church member’s religious objection to the mandate is sincere. Why would any pastor refuse to attest to his own church member’s sincerity of belief?

Daniel set an excellent example for Christians today regarding “health” mandates that violate our right of bodily sovereignty. We should follow his example, while also remembering that Daniel’s first test was to prepare him for a second, tougher one (the fiery furnace) in which the mandate (for his companions) was to worship a gold statue of the king, spiritually equivalent to the Mark of the Beast.

If You thought “Gay Pride Month” (formerly known as June) was bad, brace yourself for another annual “Gay History Month” in public schools through October, including “Coming Out Day” on the 11th.

 June was for planting the seeds of sexual anarchy in the hearts and minds of the children and teens. October is the harvest, when countless American parents discover that the “Q for Questioning” in LGBTQ actually stands for ReQruitment of their children (which is why conservatives should never add Q to the acronym). 

The cutting edge of the LGBT agenda is now transsexualism, but the catch-all idea of “gayness” remains the “gaytway-drug” to childhood self-identification with perversion. All of the “out and proud” LGBT-based identities begin in the mind, often spawned by LGBT propaganda-driven enticement to sexual experimentation and rebellion (highly alluring to all-too-many hormone-inflamed pubescents). 

Gay History Month (in the controlled social-engineering environment of today’s public schools) is designed both to sell the false narrative of LGBT political activism as “a noble and historic movement for social justice,” and to define a young person’s personal pursuit of “sexual liberation” through “gayness” as an act of moral courage. This explains the delusional zealotry of “woke” youth since the “gay” 1990s (which for many lasts well into adulthood as a life-cause).

Here are some true facts of LGBT history you can cite if you have the courage to fight the homofascists in your school system on behalf of the children they think belong to them by right.  

Let’s start the earliest LGBT pioneer, according to the pre-eminent scholarly journal of the LGBT community since the 1970s, the Journal of Homosexuality, and one of its most respected contributors, Gert Heckma PhD, of the Gay Studies department of the University of Amsterdam. 

In his 1989 article, titled “Sodomites, Platonic Lovers, Contrary Lovers: The Backgrounds of the Modern Homosexual” (Vol. 16, No 1. 1989) Heckma writes:

“The most important…was D.A.F. Marquis de Sade, who based his political philosophy precisely on sodomy…Sade used sodomy as a particularly good example of what seemed to be unnatural, unreasonable and purposeless, but which could in no way be proven to be against nature or reason. Sade’s Philosophy in the Boudoir (1795) was a clear apology for the decriminalization of pederasty [man/boy sex] and sodomy…Sade emphasized that there were no rational arguments against any form of social behavior, be it prostitution, lust murder, or sodomy, and he strongly opposed the suggestion that theft, prostitution, sodomy or lust murder were against nature…

“In 1772, Sade was sentenced to death for sodomizing his manservant and for poisoning prostitutes…Nothing is known about his homosexual proclivities except for the sodomy of his manservant and his writings. But his most scrupulous biographer, Gilbert Lely, has asserted that he was a homosexual with no remorse….It was against…family politics…and the church and its institutions that Sade rebelled — albeit without much success — thus beginning a political struggle for the rights of pederasts.”  (Pederasty is sex between adult men and young teen boys.)

But that was long ago and far away. What about the modern homosexual movement here in America? Let us turn to another unimpeachably pro-“gay” source, the book Gay American History (1976) by Jonathan Katz, winner in 2003 of the Brudner Prize of Yale University, celebrating his “lifetime accomplishment and scholarly contributions in the field of lesbian and gay studies.” 

From this source we learn that the very first “gay rights” organization in the United States was the American chapter of the German-based Society for Human Rights (SHR), formed in Chicago by a man named Henry Gerber on December 10, 1924 (p.388).  
Gerber had served with the U.S. occupation forces in Germany from 1920 to 1923 and had been involved with the German SHR. Gerber legally chartered the group without revealing its purpose and began publishing a pro-homosexual journal called Friendship and Freedom (p.389), patterned after the German chapter’s publication of the same name (p.632n.). In 1925, however, the organization collapsed when Gerber, Vice President Al Menninger and another member were arrested on charges of sexual abuse of a boy, all three having been turned in by Menninger’s wife. The Chicago Examiner ran a story titled “Strange Sex Cult Exposed,” and spoke of “strange doings” in Menninger’s apartment (p.390-392).

The most prominent member of the German Society for Human Rights in the 1920s and 30s was Ernst Roehm, supreme leader of the dreaded Nazi SA or Storm Troopers. Like Gerber, Roehm was a pederast, a fact documented by the Munich Post and criminal court records.
Gerber’s ideological successor was Harry Hay, founder of the Mattachine Society in 1950, an outspoken defender of NAMBLA, the North American Man Boy Love Association. Hay is considered the “Founder of the Modern Gay Movement.” In The Trouble With Harry Hay, biographer Stuart Timmons wrote approvingly that when NAMBLA was denied a role in the 1986 Los Angeles “Gay Pride Parade,” marcher Harry Hay donned a sweatshirt printed with the legend, “NAMBLA Walks With Me.” Timmons writes that Hay, “could not contain his outrage” that NAMBLA was excluded (p.296).

NAMBLA was a “gay” activist organization started by David Thorstad (founder of the Gay Activist Alliance) and Thomas Reeves who wrote this about the LGBT movement “Almost every one of the early openly homosexual writers was a pederast. Pederasty was a constant theme of early gay literature, art, and pornography. The Stonewall riots were precipitated by an incident involving an underage drag queen, yet that detail was not viewed as significant….Many of the leaders of early gay liberation and the founders of the major gay groups in the U.S. were boy-lovers (Reeves in Pascal, Marc (ed), Varieties of Man Boy Love :47).”

To bring this full circle, Harry Hay was Obama “Safe Schools Czar” Kevin Jennings’s inspiration for founding the nation-wide and very powerful Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network (GLSEN) that will largely drive the October agenda in the public schools. Jennings himself had indirect ties to NAMBLA and seems to have condoned pederasty.

In my theology the House of Israel is Christianity, and will be reunited in the Holy Land on equal terms with the House of Judah (defined by Judaism) in the Millennial Kingdom. I believe that Messianic Judaism, which has risen suddenly in our generation, is both a foreshadowing of that reunion and a pre-millennial form of the religion of Millennial Kingdom. I am not Messianic Jewish, but recognize its important role and view my own role (as founder of First Century Bible Church) to be that of a liaison and mediator between it and traditional forms of Christianity.

My perspective is unfamiliar to most of Christendom because of an ancient false teaching in the church about the return of the Hebrew tribes to the Holy Land. That false teaching holds that the House of Israel returned to the Holy Land with the House of Judah at the end of the Babylonian exile, thus supposedly fulfilling the numerous prophecies of the reunion of the two houses. But in fact they have not been fulfilled.

It was common knowledge in the days of the early church that the large majority of Israelites (House of Israel) never returned to the Holy Land. The historian Flavius Josephus recorded that fact in 93AD in Antiquities of the Jews (11:133): “the ten tribes are beyond the Euphrates till now, and are an immense multitude and not to be estimated in numbers.” And the Apostle James begins his epistle: “James, a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad: Greetings” (James 1:1).

1 Chronicles was written around a century after Ezra and Nehemiah led the newly freed Jews to Jerusalem from Babylon, and it states that Israel remained in exile “to this day” (1 Chronicles 5:26). The context is a genealogy of Reuben, which was the first of the ten tribes captured and relocated by the Assyrians along with Gad and Manasseh long before 722BC. It is silent on the other seven tribes but there is no indication anywhere in Scripture that the other seven did not remain with these three. The ten tribes are almost always addressed as a single entity (the House of Israel).

The Bible says that the House of Israel does eventually return, in the last days and in association with the second coming of Christ and His establishment of the Millennial Kingdom, but not half a millennium before Christ’s first coming, and not under the auspices of the House of Judah.

It must be remembered that the ten tribes had abandoned Temple-based true Judaism for golden calves and increasing paganism a full four centuries before the Babylonian return. By what logic does one assume that Israel (in exile for 135 years before the Jews) would suddenly choose to resubmit to Judaism and to the Levites and relocate to Jerusalem just because the Jews were freed by Babylon?

Moreover, ALL the families who returned to Jerusalem from Babylon are clearly identified in Ezra and Nehemiah as Judeans.

“Then the heads of fathers’ households of Judah and Benjamin [the two tribes of the House of Judah] and the priests and the Levites [who had defected en-masse to Judah after Jeroboam’s rejection of Temple worship] arose, even everyone whose spirit God had stirred to go up and rebuild the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem” (Ezra 1:5).

“These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his city” (Nehemiah 7:6).

Some Israelites of the ten tribes did return to the Holy Land over the years, but the Bible makes clear they were relatively few in number: “though your people, O Israel, may be like the sand of the sea, Only a remnant within them will return” (Isaiah 10:20-22). Only in conjunction with the second coming of Christ will the ten tribes return in full numbers.

But in the context of Isaiah’s prophecy of the first coming, these same returnees had just been mentioned in Isaiah 9:1-2: “in…the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali…[known in the time of Jesus as] Galilee of the Gentiles. The people who walk in darkness will see a great light.”

This is why there were “lost sheep” of Israel in Galilee at the time of Christ, and why during the same general time period the Apostle Paul could testify truthfully to King Herod Agrippa in Acts 26:6-7 that “I stand on trial because of my hope in the promise that God made to our fathers, the promise our twelve tribes are hoping to realize as they earnestly serve God day and night.” There was a remnant of all the tribes in the land, some under the auspices of the House of Judah and its system of synagogue worship (including some members of the ten northern tribes who had long before defected to Judea immediately after the formation of the Kingdom of Israel – 2 Chronicles 11:16), and others who were “lost” in paganism of various sorts. But it was only a remnant.

HOWEVER “it shall come to pass…that the Lord shall set his hand again the SECOND time to recover the remnant of his people…and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim” (Isaiah 11:11-13).

And Ezekiel adds “‘I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel associated with him, and I will put them together with the stick of Judah. I will make them into a single stick, and they will become one in My hand’…Then they will no longer be two nations and will never again be divided into two kingdoms… My servant David will be king over them, and there will be one shepherd for all of them” (Ezekiel 37:19-24).

THAT is the second coming we Christians, the House of Israel, await today, when we will be restored to our inheritance alongside the House of Judah who are already there.

Note from Scott: I readily admit this conspiracy theory is a bit on the wild side but it sure would make sense of what otherwise looks like random chaos. When it comes to the globalist elites with all their vast resources and ideological zeal I think deliberate conspiracy is far more likely than random chaos in situations like this. The more important question for me is whether I’ve got the variables right.

Afghanistan and the Obama Birthday-Bash Head Fake

• Who is the Israel-hating American leader most obviously dedicated to the advance of Islamism around the world? 

• Who is the presumed “Shadow President” holding Joe Biden’s puppet-strings? 

• Which recent US President was notorious for being a “micromanager?” 

The answer to all three questions is Barack Obama. 
Here’s another question. 

• Whose administration was it that failed infamously, humiliatingly to pull off a staged dramatic hostage rescue of a US Ambassador in Benghazi, Lybia on the 11th anniversary of 9/11, in cooperation with Islamist militants, in the lead-up to his 2012 re-election?  

That would be Barack Obama again. 
Next question.

• Who just last week staged the most high-profile, extravagant celebrity studded birthday bash in modern memory and very publicly “disinvited” his political team and allies (and importantly did not invite Joe Biden) so as to create the impression that he has moved beyond politics into the care-free lifestyle of royalty (and, to ensure nobody missed that narrative, no less an Obama butt-kisser than Maureen Dowd spelled out in painful detail the “disappointment” of the far left of his supposed withdrawal from the partisan fray)?

Yes, you guessed it: Barack Obama.
One last question for those wondering what the motive might be for this elaborate head fake. 

• Which president released from Guantanamo the very same Islamist terrorist who is now head of the new Islamist regime in Kabul, and is thus holding an un-cashed IOU? 

None other than, drum roll please, Barack Obama.
So here’s my conspiracy theory brainstorm on the Afghanistan debacle: 
The likely photo-shopped image of Biden alone in the situation room is designed specifically to put him solely in the frame of culpability. 

• It was not accidental that the country fell immediately to the Taliban. 
• It was not accidental that thousands of American (hostages?) are still trapped at the Kabul airport.
• It was not accidental that the original US withdrawal date was 9/11.
• It is not accidental that all of this is happening right as the proof of the 2020 election fraud is about to hit the fan.

Everyone knows that despite all the wonders of modern medicine and ear-piece technology, Stumblin-Joe Biden can’t last much longer, and the country rightfully does not trust Kamala Harris. 

My guess is that the Hollywood scriptwriter helping Barack Obama design his return-to-power strategy wants to give Joe – ever the faithful Waterboy for the Uniparty – a tragic exit designed to maximize public sympathy for him now and in the history books: perhaps a conveniently timed stroke brought on by the Afghanistan Crisis, adding to the “already unbearable weight of a presidency handicapped by Trump’s ‘sabotage of the nation’ and the rising threat of White Supremacy.” 

Whatever consequences and culpability there might be for the election fraud emerging from the shower of evidence that’s about to begin, could be deflected to Biden as well, along with the mantra “but hey, hasn’t the poor guy suffered enough?”

In Kabul, Obama would want something like what Benghazi would have been if those pesky former Navy Seals hadn’t unexpectedly interfered and ruined the scheme by turning a fake kidnapping of Ambassador Stevens by a cooperative Muslim militia into a real firefight: high drama, life-and-death stakes, wall-to-wall cable news riveting the entire world. 

It would be the perfect moment for Obama to be called out of retirement and retake the world stage – nobly sacrificing the life of royalty – to negotiate a successful end to the Kabul nightmare, gaining for Obama by fraud what Ronald Reagan legitimately earned by freeing the American hostages from Iran.

…And then, by popular acclaim, returning Obama to the White House by whatever sequence of resignation, appointments and resignations would best work to retire Biden, minimize a Harris presidency, and place Obama back on the throne. All accompanied by a unified chorus of legal experts and media pundits spinning a new interpretation of the 22nd Amendment regarding presidential term limits (e.g. it only limits “two elections” after all – not an appointment to VP by Harris, followed by her resignation and reappointment to VP by Obama).

That battle would most certainly go to the Supreme Court, where, conveniently, Obama’s main man John Roberts (the guy who killed all the pro-Trump election fraud lawsuits) is still Chief Justice.

And to ensure that the MAGA movement would be neutralized during this period, the Obama team would also stage a false flag terror attack (on 9/11?) by pro-Trump “White Supremacists” supposedly enraged by the Biden Afghanistan debacle (or any number of issues that fit the narrative) and are determined to reinstate President Trump. That scenario has already been set up by the Biden/Obama Department of Homeland Security and the full phalanx of corporate media.

As the Obama team is famous for saying “Never let a good crisis got to waste,” and, of course, no crisis is better than the one you create and control yourself.

I readily admit this conspiracy theory is a bit on the wild side but it sure would make sense of what otherwise looks like random chaos. When it comes to the globalist elites with all their vast resources and ideological zeal I think deliberate conspiracy is far more likely than random chaos. The only question for me is whether I’ve got the variables right.

On March 25th, 2020, as the human death toll attributed to Covid 19 was skyrocketing, and the official government narrative for granting itself extraordinary emergency powers was centered on hospitals being overrun with Covid patients, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo made the executive decision to sacrifice the very elderly and infirm so that more hospital beds would be available for younger people. That’s my most charitable possible theory as to Cuomo’s motive for issuing what in retrospect was clearly a death warrant for over 15,000 nursing home patients in the Empire State. That death warrant was the now infamous Cuomo Nursing Home Directive, stating in pertinent part:

“No resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to the NH solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19. NHs are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or re-admission.”

My less charitable, more realistic theory is that Andrew Cuomo intentionally murdered those “useless eaters” with the same Malthusian imperiousness he displayed in championing New York’s ghoulish 2019 late-term abortion law.

I published my early analysis on this story as “The Murder Trial of Andrew Cuomo” on May 18, 2020 based on the facts known at that time.

Since then, my conclusions about Cuomo have hardened. It’s now obvious to me that he was the globalists’ designated point-man for the plandemic “lockdown to takedown” facet of the (multi-faceted) coup-d’etat against President Trump. As head of the 6-state Northeast COVID Cabal (New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island) with combined “Covid-related” fatalities far surpassing the rest of the nation, Cuomo held the so-called “moral high ground” for steering national lockdown policy. From a purely Machievellian political perspective, the more deaths the better, with the sudden wave of “death taxes” into state coffers being just icing on the cake (“death taxes” in NY include BOTH estate taxes – which can be up to 40% AND inheritance taxes – NY being on of the few states still exacting these).

But even in today’s Amerika, mass murder is hard to get away with, and so, when his damage control efforts proved ineffective, Andrew Cuomo needed a survivable exit strategy.

Enter Lindsey Boylan (aka “Andrew Cuomo’s Monica Lewinski”) as the first in a parade of “me too” accusers.

To be absolutely clear, I am not accusing Ms. Boylan of complicity in Cuomo’s public diversion scheme, any more that I think Monica Lewinski was in on the Bill Clinton diversion strategy (though in Lewinski’s case I think it’s possible). I’m only saying that Cuomo is following the Clinton playbook to the letter by allowing an almost certainly ally-orchestrated (or at least nudged), fully-survivable (and “stud-status” enhancing) sex-scandal to draw public attention away from the real scandal and its risk of truly serious consequences.

Let’s revisit the Clinton scenario. In the mid-1990s Bill Clinton was in serious political and potentially legal trouble over giving high-tech ballistic missile technology to Communist China by granting trade policy waivers to his buddy Bernard L Schwartz, a NY mega-donor and then head of Loral Corporation. The Baltimore Sun reported in May of 1998 that:

“Allegations that Democratic campaign contributions resulted in the transfer of sensitive ballistic missile technology to China have touched off congressional charges of the gravest kind: betrayal of the public trust, breaches of national security, even treason….Loral was able to launch its satellite in China in 1996 only after Clinton signed a special waiver of U.S. export control law…but it came as Loral was donating more than $1 million to the 1996 campaigns, 81 percent of which went to Democrats. Loral chief executive Bernard L. Schwartz personally donated more than $1 million to Democratic candidates and committees, including $581,000 to the Democratic National Committee.”

Wikipedia provides more insight: “Schwartz is a lifelong Democrat.[1] According to NBC News, he was the largest single contributor to the Democratic Party from 1992 to 1996. In 1996, he celebrated his 71st birthday with Bill and Hillary Clinton at the White House….In 2016, Schwartz donated US$1 million to Priorities USA Action, a Super PAC supporting Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.[9] Schwartz is also in the $5 million – $10 million bracket of donors to the Clinton Foundation.[10]”

When it looked like Bill Clinton was in real trouble over the Loral/CCP scandal, with the US Congress soon alleging TREASON, the Lewinski scandal broke. That was on January 17, 1998 on The Drudge Report (was Matt a deep-stater all along?). Instantly, the (likely complicit) corporate media began a feeding frenzy that sucked all the air out of the Loral/CCP scandal which quickly died on the vine. Both Clinton and Schwartz escaped without serious consequences and remained key players at the top of the Democrat food chain. Schwartz got a $14 million slap on the wrist, divested Loral and started the Dems deep-well donation farm called Bls Investments.

Care to guess who is a really close advisor and mega-donor to Andrew Cuomo? We’re not sure if Cuomo’s scandal-tainted “vaccine czar” Larry Schwartz is related.

What we do know is that, like Clinton, Cuomo is almost certain to skate on the mass murder charge, especially since the Biden Justice Department announced just two weeks ago, it will not be investigating those deaths – the timing of that announcement (in letter form) suggesting to me that it was the final assurance Cuomo required from the power-brokers before agreeing to resign this week.

I have always been a strong supporter of Israel. This is not because I always agree with its secular leadership, which is often as corrupt as America’s on seminal Biblical issues like child-killing and sodomy, but because the Bible makes clear that Israel is an intact nation-state at the time of Christ’s return. Jesus said in the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21) that we would know the season of His return by the revival of the fig tree – the primary Biblical symbol of the House of Judah per Jeremiah 24 and many other passages. It is the House of Judah (defined by the practice of Judaism) which occupies that relatively small portion of the Holy Land God promised to Abraham which is today called Israel. Eventually, the House of Israel (defined in the Age of the Gentiles by the practice of Christianity) will be restored there as well on an equal basis, according to a little-recognized but pervasive theme of Old Testament prophecy about the last days.

Between now and then, the Antichrist will emerge (2 Thessalonians 2), establish a short-lived kingdom-of-evil based in Israel (Revelation 11), and trigger the outpouring of God’s wrath by setting up the “Abomination that Causes Desolation” in the “Holy Place” (Matthew 24:15). Most scholars identify the “Holy Place” as the long-anticipated Third Temple of Jerusalem. In my four trips to Israel, including a church tour I led in 2017, I have twice toured the Temple Institute which is dedicated to ensuring the temple is built, and has (to precise Biblical standards) 1) prepared all of the implements that will be used there, 2) built the altar, and 3) trained Levite priests identified by genetic testing.

I think the consensus of Christian prophecy watchers today is that we’re very close to that final phase, especially as we watch the secular-controlled Israeli government lead the world in forced “vaccinations,” in direct and shocking contravention of the post-Holocaust Nuremberg Code and against the vehement objection of our spiritual first-cousins, Orthodox Jews. It would seem that the scene is set and we are awaiting only the building of the temple before“the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness—the son of destruction—is revealed….[who] will seat himself in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God” (2 Thessalonians 2:1-12),

Missing in most discussions of these matters is the huge significance of a pair of seemingly minor prophecies in Genesis, made by Jacob about his sons Judah and Joseph (Israel), the patriarchs of the two Hebrew houses that alternately ruled the 12 tribes throughout Biblical history.

“The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until Shiloh comes and the obedience of the nations shall be his. He will tether his donkey to a vine, his colt to the choicest branch; he will wash his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes” (Genesis 49:10-11). “Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine near a spring, whose branches climb over a wall” (Genesis 49:22).

Just as the House of Judah is represented in scripture by the fig tree, the House of Israel (Joseph), is represented by the vine. We find additional support for this in Isaiah 5:3-7: “And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, Judge between Me and My vineyard……For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel.”

In His first coming, Jesus the Judean “will tether his donkey to a vine, his colt to the choicest branch,” (literally fulfilled in Matthew 21:1-9) meaning that He becomes intimately related to Israel as His bride. In His role as Israel’s bridegroom and redeemer He also becomes the rescuer of Judah in His second coming. The prophecy “he will wash his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes,” is an unmistakable reference to His return as conquering king, and to the winepress of His wrath toward His enemies (Revelation 19:6-21).

The fig tree and vine are symbolic of the harmony of the two houses, for example: 1 Kings 4:25: “So Judah and Israel lived in safety, every man under his vine and his fig tree.” Zech 3:9-10: “and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.” Micah 4:1-4: “But in the last days it shall come to pass, that…[under Christ’s reign] they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid.”

But until the Day of the Lord (the thousand year “day” of the Millennial Kingdom), there remains a division and rivalry between the two houses – except during King David’s fully unifying reign, which is why David is a type of Christ and why Luke 1:32 says “The Lord God will give Him [Jesus] the throne of His father David.” Only David and Jesus rule a totally unified and righteous 12-tribe kingdom. (Technically, there was residual two house unity under Solomon, per 1 Kings 4:25, but God stripped him of authority due to grave sin and idolatry per 1 Kings 11:1-13).

But note Genesis 49:10 again. The House of Judah rules only from the establishment of the monarchy “until Shiloh comes.” The context also makes clear that “Shiloh” is Jesus Christ.

Shiloh was the home of God’s Tabernacle in the territory of Ephraim (Israel per Jeremiah 31:9) and the “capital” of the Holy Land through the era of the Judges, starting with Judge Joshua the Ephraimite. Shiloh is thus symbolic of the authority of the House of Israel in contrast to the authority of the House of Judah (in whose territory – Jerusalem — resides each successive Temple to God).

When Jesus comes again as “Shiloh,” it will be to unite the House of Israel and House of Judah (Ezekiel 37:15-28) in the Holy Land, as the High Priest of a Tabernacle whose authority precedes and is superior to that of the (future) Third Temple in Jerusalem. He will come as described in Revelation 19:6-21: the Bridegroom freshly remarried to the Bride of Christ (House of Israel) in the Wedding Feast of the Lamb, to rescue the House of Judah (Matthew 23:37-39), crush the wicked (Zechariah 14:1-9), and fulfill the prophecy of Romans 11:25-27 that “all Israel will be saved.”

Our hearts should thus not focus on the Temple, but look beyond it until Shiloh comes!

STATEMENT OF THE WORLD LEAGUE
OF CITIZENS AND CIVIC ASSOCIATIONS

Pro-family activists around world have nominated the Hungarian Prime-Minister, Viktor Orbán for the medal ,,ҮЙ БҮЛӨ/ FAMILY” – the human rights award of the WORLD LEAGUE OF CITIZENS AND CIVIC ASSOCIATIONS (based in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan).

Prime-Minister Orbán, has announced that his government will hold a nationwide referendum on “child protection” in order to defend the universal natural rights of life and family.

Our friend Waldemar Herdt, the Member of German Parliament (Bundestag) has agreed to deliver the medal to Viktor Orban.

We should support our allies!

Bolotbek Batilov, Chairman.

[Note: In October 2016, The WLCCA hosted Dr. and Mrs. Lively for a week of seminars, media interviews and pro-family activism in Kyrgyzstan in support of a (very successful) national constitutional amendment protecting true marriage, which period culminated in the joint release of the Declaration on the Natural Life Movement by Dr. Lively and Chairman Batilov. ]

PROTECTING SCHOOLCHILDREN FROM LGBT PROPAGANDA

In 2006 and 2007 Dr. and Mrs. Lively were hosted by New Generation Church of Riga, Latvia (a denomination of 250 Russian-speaking churches in 14 countries) on a 50-City Pro-Family Speaking Tour through eight countries of the former Soviet Union, including many Russian cities. A central theme of that tour was protecting children from LGBT propaganda. In 2007, in the final city of the tour, St. Petersburg, Dr. Lively published his Open Letter to the Russian People which included this specific warning:

“Remember that their focus is always on the young people. The homosexuals know they can’t change the values of the older people, but that young people…are easily persuaded to accept homosexuality as just another lifestyle. In fact, many young people become active defenders of homosexuality, because the ‘gay’ movement portrays all homosexuals as helpless victims of societies who ‘just want to be left alone to love whom they please’….[In the schools] Young people at every grade level should receive age-appropriate instruction on why sexual morality and family values are important to their future.”

A couple of years later, St. Petersburg became the first of several major Russian cities to ban LGBT propaganda to children. In 2013 the Russian Parliament adopted the law nationally almost unanimously, backed by the support of a stunning 88% of the populace. President Putin both signed and publicly supported the law, saying “I believe we should leave kids in peace.”

In response to that historic legislative victory, I wrote An Open Letter to President Vladimir Putin and mailed him a copy of the letter along with a copy of The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party (which has been translated into Russian). In my letter I thanked him for standing up for family values and warned him that “world leaders” (implying Obama) would almost certainly retaliate harshly, writing:

“I want to caution you not to assume that you have fully solved the problem by the enactment of this law. The battle to protect your society from homosexualization has only just begun, and you may be surprised to discover in the coming months and years just how aggressively many world leaders will work to try to intimidate and coerce you to capitulate to homosexualist demands. Few political agendas in the history of mankind have marshaled the tenacity and resolve of the homosexualist movement. Its activists are driven by an implacable militancy and a zeal to advance their own self-serving interests that rivals even the most fanatical religious cults.”

I then went to Moscow in October 2013 as a member of the planning committee for the World Congress of Families VIII (scheduled for 2014), where I lobbied unsuccessfully (against the position of the “big dog” American pro-family honchos) for WCF8 to officially endorse the Russian law and try to have it passed everywhere.

But the WCF8-Russia never happened because within weeks of the passage of the Russian law LGBT uber-activist Obama turned 180 degrees against his own State Department’s “Reset Policy” of normalization with Russia and launched a full-fledged international campaign to demonize Putin and the Russians starting by sabotaging the Socci Olympics in February 2014 followed by orchestrating the 2014 coup in Ukraine to replace its pro-Russian president with an Obama/Biden stooge. Obama essentially restarted the Cold War in revenge for Putin’s highly influential defiance of the global LGBT agenda. Several countries (including Ukraine) who were ready to quickly follow Russia’s lead were dissuaded from doing so by the vehemence of Obama’s reaction.

NOW, however, seven years later, the pro-family hero Viktor Orban, Prime Minister of Hungary has followed Russia’s lead and banned LGBT propaganda in schools, saying: “the European basic treaties clearly show that it is an issue that belongs in national authority,” adding that “Brussels bureaucrats have no business here”. No matter what they’ll do, we will not allow LGBTQ activists to enter our kindergartens and schools.”

Per a Gateway Pundit article: “According to a report by Origo.hu, Soros NGOs have been pumping millions into the promotion of the LGBT agenda to schoolchildren in Hungary, including the Labrisz Lesbian Association (2019: 11 million Forint/$36,747), the Background Society Hatter (25 million Forint/$83,516), Budapest Pride (2019: 6 million Forint/$20,043), the Transvanilla Transgender Association, the Hungarian LGBTQ Association and the Patent Association against Patriarchy. According to Origo, promoting the LGBT agenda in Hungary is of particular importance to heir-apparent Alexander Soros.”

In response to intense pressure to buckle on the issue, Orban brilliantly countered by calling for a national referendum to let the people decide. Per Breitbart “The referendum will see Hungarians asked five questions, including asking if they support public education presentations on subjects such as sexual orientation to minors without parental authorisation and promotion of gender reassignment treatments for minors….The Hungarian referendum comes after the country held a similar referendum in October 2016, then on the question of mass migration and saw 95 per cent of Hungarians say no to EU migrant redistribution plans.”

We expect the Hungarian referendum will be a huge encouragement to pro-family people everywhere!

My Open Letter to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban — June 7, 2016

I wrote the following letter to Prime Minister Orban during my two-year 27-nation study of the international conservative/populist movement in 2015-2017. I am re-publishing it to this website in support of his recent decision to put Hungary’s recent ban on homosexual propaganda to children to a national vote in repudiation of the European Union’s condemnation of that important legislation.

Dear Prime Minister Viktor Orban,

I am an American Christian pastor and attorney visiting Budapest for the first time. On behalf of Christians in America and around the world I want to thank you for your courageous defense of Christian values and culture in Europe and to apologize for recent false and insulting comments made against you by disgraced former US President Bill Clinton.

Mr. Clinton, speaking on behalf of his wife Hillary, criticized “Poland and Hungary, two countries that would not have been free but for the United States and the long Cold War, have now decided this democracy is too much trouble.”

Neither Mr. Clinton, nor his wife, nor current President Barack Obama have any moral right to speak for the generation of Americans that liberated Europe because that generation, including its leaders, was decidedly Christian in its values and worldview. The “democratic” values it fought to preserve and promote included quite prominently the right to life, the sanctity of marriage and the natural family, and the concepts of national sovereignty and self-determination — values that your administration has courageously championed in Hungary.

In contrast, the so-called “democratic values” of Bill and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are abortion, homosexuality, Islamic expansionism, and global socialism. Most assuredly, American soldiers did NOT shed their blood to open Europe’s doors to homosexual “marriage” and Islamic Jihad. If you, Mr. Prime Minister, had run for President of the United States in the 1940s and 1950s against any of these three Marxist ideologues you would have won by a landslide.

If by “democracy” Clinton means government by the will of the people versus tyranny by oligarchs he is doubly discredited. It is obvious that the people of Hungary overwhelmingly support family values and oppose open borders, while the Clinton/Obama cabal are blatantly, tyrannically and lawlessly ignoring the will of the American public by force-feeding us the LGBT agenda and welcoming an endless flood of illegal immigrants across our southern border.

In short, American Christians applaud your nation, Mr. Prime Minister, for modifying your constitution in 2011 to state that human life begins at conception and marriage is between one man and one women. We also applaud your more recent leadership in defying the European Union’s suicidal “open borders” policies, especially regarding the threat represented by Islamic “immigrants.”

Please do not be deceived by the US and European media on these matters. Millions of right-thinking people in the United States and around the world are very grateful for your leadership in defending Christian culture and the principle of national self-determination.

Respectfully,

Dr. Scott Lively
President, Defend the Family International

Years ago I had an idea for an super-hero action movie called “The Little Guy” (with a first casting choice of Martin Short for the male lead). It examines the struggles of the “little guys” who live in a land where dramatic existential threats to humanity justify hugely destructive battles between heroes and villains. In my movie the focus is on the average people (exemplified by Short) whose wants and goals are irrelevant to the “elites.”

It opens with one of those ridiculously impossible but now-ubiquitous against-traffic high-speed car chases in which Short and his family are driving along minding their own business but end up in a 100-car bridge pileup triggered by their car being clipped by the “hero” speeding furiously in the wrong direction. As the “aftermath” scene unfolds, the camera stays on the Short family. As they and the people around them begin to emerge from their crumpled, steaming cars in varying states of shock, a second chase – this one in the air above – sends a super-hero and super-villain – locked in combat – careening into the steel over-structure of the bridge, causing a tangle of broken girders to crash down onto a gasoline tanker some distance off that explodes in a ball of fire, singeing all the hair off the Shorts and their fellow innocent bystanders, and knocking them to the ground – as the still tumbling action figures ricochet off into the city, smashing through a high-rise office tower, and disappear over the horizon.

We discover that’s just a typical day in the life of the Shorts. The movie is about freedom-loving people coping with a society made dysfunctional by self-appointed control-freak “saviors” on grandiose self-appointed missions.

Super-hero action movies are popular because they immerse you in the fantasy of BEING the protagonist with super powers, special skills and talents. And with special rights to act as YOU deem necessary, for the “greater good” as YOU perceive it. The normal rules don’t apply to you because you’re super-special, your cause is just, and you are specially empowered by the urgency of the threat you face.

The more unsatisfying or unpleasant your actual life circumstances are, the more likely you are to seek out these “escapist” films – which is why in troubled times Hollywood pumps them out like a gushing fire-hydrant in Hells Kitchen in a heat wave. That Hollywood hydrant has been gushing at maximum flow for a long time now as America’s crisis of culture has continually worsened under the Marxist “social justice” onslaught: wrecking families, eroding the trustworthiness of social institutions and infrastructure, systematically enslaving children in nihilism and perversion. And along the way, these mindless sensory orgies became social engineering tools. (Or perhaps they always were.)

The Matrix was an allegory of gender “transitioning” we are told by its writers. X-Men was the first of many thinly-veiled propaganda series’ glamorizing the “specialness” of teen “sexual minorities” (targeted for extermination for being different, and thus morally justified in taking any action necessary for survival – the subliminal false premise of all LGBT propaganda to kids).

Few are totally immune to the effects of escapist films, especially those who lack a grounding in Biblical reality (i.e. the self-evident intelligently created order that works naturally and benevolently when simply observed and followed). But socially-awkward types, like Anthony Fauchi, are especially susceptible, and can have their minds given entirely over to the fantasy that they are a special breed of human-kind who rightfully hold the fate of the world in their hands. For them it is perhaps films like “Outbreak” that puff their egos and set their trajectory, but the operative logic and psychology are the same.

There’s an entire army of these control freaks in power now. Yes, false “climate change” urgency (marketed as a “science-based” ideology by countless films) is just an invention of cynical globalists to justify forced transition to one-world government, but huge numbers of gullible people have embraced it as their personal crusade – clueless patsy Greta Thunberg being the chief poster-child. The ground troops of the BLM Race-Cult have their own crusade. The White Leftist Antifa Anarchy-Cult has its parallel crusade. Even the child-groomers of the San Francisco and Boston “Gay” Mens Choirs have a social justice mission. https://onenewsnow.com/culture/2021/07/12/gay-mens-choir-blames-qanon-for-its-own-sick-song?bingParse

From the NEA, to the SPLC, to the Biden Whitehouse I could list many other gangs of bullies who live in their own anti-social, mutually-self justifying fantasy worlds fueled by Marxist narratives. But the worst of them is the new multi-national gang of Medical Tyrants, exemplified by Fauchi (and Walensky at the CDC), uniting public health authorities and statist politicians in Soviet-style authoritarianism.

The world has been in the grip of a terrible norm-changing pandemic that truly does threaten the survival of civilization as we have known it. But the disease it has spread globally is not Sars-CoV-2 but “Social Justice Empowerment Syndrome” (SJES). SJES, the “self-righteous disease,” is the virus that causes a spectrum of social-disorders from mindless “virtue signaling” to full-blown conquer-the-world-for-Marxism megalomania.

Humanity could have quickly solved the Covid 19 crisis if all the little-people had a say in the process. We would have quickly and securely sequestered (only) the highly vulnerable as a logical first step. We would have tested, endorsed and adopted the cheap and proven remedies like Hydroxychloriqine and Ivermectin society-wide. We might have agreed to voluntary short-term steps to “flatten the curve” when the numbers first spiked, but we would never have agreed to months of lockdown mandates backed by endless fear-mongering propaganda. We would have never have endorsed a universal mandatory “vaccine” campaign with no allowance for natural immunity or the human right of bodily autonomy. We would certainly never have allowed our public discussion of any of these matters to be censored and suppressed by government and its Big Tech and Big Media surrogates.

But we never had a say in the response to the Covid plandemic, because our SJES-infected “betters” took it upon themselves to decide all of these things for us – and in doing so created the far-greater plague of global tyranny – transforming our world into the set of my movie The Little Guy.

Peoples’ Control of Emergency Policies Amendment

A bill to amend the Constitution of the United States and/or the constitutions of the individual States to restore the right of the citizenry to limit the powers they delegate to government on their behalf in matters of public health, and to prevent the type of shameful government overreach we the people are still enduring in relation to what is commonly called the Covid 19 Pandemic.

In any public health emergency lasting more than 30 days, the right of the people to control the actions of their elected officials and public health agencies in their response to said emergency shall be deemed the highest priority of government.

From the day in which a public health emergency is declared, or any other event occurs triggering emergency public health related powers by any government actor, all government officials and their surrogates (including any private sector actors and organizations acting in concert with government to explain or implement policies) shall have an affirmative duty to take effective fully-transparent and measurable steps to determine the will of the populace regarding emergency response policies, in any actions impacting life, liberty or pursuit of happiness, so that at the end of the first 30 days the will of the citizenry may be objectively measured and followed.

No public health emergency policy shall be extended beyond 30 days that does not at minimum accommodate the rights of those citizens who decline to be subject to them, and any such policies shall be narrowly tailored to impose the least possible burden on the freedom of the citizens to make their own choices about the risks related to the emergency conditions.

In situations similar to the Covid 19 Pandemic where public health officials determine social interactions of the citizens should be limited, said officials shall not impose any blanket order on the whole citizenry, but create “safety zones” where those willing to live under “lock-down” conditions can go, while allowing the rest of the population to live their lives as they see fit.

In no situation shall any public policy assume explicitly or implicitly that the collective members of the public – the very the body which government receives its limited, delegated powers from – is not competent to decide matters for themselves.

In all situations involving public policy emergencies, the right to freedom of speech among the citizens about any related matter, shall be deemed an essential element of public policy in furtherance of the right of citizens to decide their own course of action, regardless of the opinions of “experts,” politicians or judges.

In any situation in which government officials or their surrogates operate beyond the scope of their powers as limited by the letter or the spirit of this act, they shall lose whatever immunity their office otherwise offers, and be subject to prosecution and punishment for, in a lesser case, felony malfeasance, and in an egregious case involving loss of life, (at minimum) manslaughter.
