A Divided Kingdom – Finding Hope in National Judgement

Back in 2013, I posted “A New Civil War is being Engineered.” Back then I observed because United States has departed from God, the nation was in the process of dividing, and an eventual civil war appeared likely. As I write this in early 2023, there is an accelerating division in all aspects of national life – social, political, economic, relational, and spiritual.

This pattern of division following a national departure from God is not new. Let’s dive into what this may mean, and, amazingly, in this we’ll find hope!

Why and How does God Typically Judge Nations?

First, it’s important to understand the loving character of God. When God judges individuals and entire nations he does not relish punishment, but widespread, nationalized sin causes untold suffering and God will mercifully put an end to sin by allowing judgement upon a nation.

With individuals, judgement does not necessarily mean receiving God’s direct wrath. Rather, God allows a person to reap the consequences of sin (speaking from personal experience, here). Likewise, when God judges a nation, he often allows the nation itself to be weakened under the consequences of corruption and poor leadership rather than a direct judgement via wrath such as a disaster.

God really delights to bless His creatures and to have fellowship with them, but the invasion of sin into creation has meant that He must exercise judgment, because He is not only love, but also light, absolutely holy, righteous, and good.

God’s Strange Work: The Judgments of Scripture – M C Davis, Leeds – Believersmagazine.com

The Bible provides the most detailed account of the judgement of nations. Most commonly, judged nations are overthrown or dominated by other nations, typically after bad leaders come into power.

For example, the nation of Babylon remained strong while king Nebuchadnezzar was on the throne, but a successor, the regent Belshazzar, was part of a weak and corrupt government, which hastened the overthrow of the nation by the Medo-Persian empire (Daniel 5:23-31).

Furthermore, the prophet Daniel predicted the eventual downfall of Persia itself which was eventually weakened by poor leadership and conquered by Alexander the Great.

National Division – A special kind of Judgement

There is a special type of national judgement that involves a division of the nation before an eventual domination by foreign powers. This type of judgement was reserved for God’s chosen nation. Around 950 B.C., Israel divided into two Kingdoms – the southern kingdom of Judah and the northern kingdom of Israel.

This division occurred after a long leadership decline driven by an increasing departure from God. Following the imperfect but Godly rule of King David, King Solomon grew the government and embarked upon expensive programs than demanded high taxes, while subtly introducing Solomon’s successor, Rehoboam, raised taxes even more, and sparked a revolt. Most of the nation split off into the north, while Judah and part of the tribe of Benjamin formed the southern kingdom with its capital remaining in Jerusalem.

Upon dividing, the northern kingdom fell into worshipping one of the darkest, most evil of the gods, Baal, and produced some of the most wicked leaders in the Bible, including king Ahab and queen Jezebel. The northern kingdom was more powerful than the southern kingdom, but because of its corruption, the north fell to the Assyrians around 721 B.C.

The southern kingdom’s account was mixed, with some excellent Godly leaders, such as king Hezekiah, but it also had some poor leaders. Despite being smaller and weaker than the northern kingdom, it lasted longer, but was eventually conquered by the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar in 587 B.C.

The United States – National Division like Ancient Israel?

The United States once stood, and in many ways still stands, for good. The nation was founded by leaders, though not all Christians, who at least valued Biblical principles.

I propose, like the judgement of ancient Israel, we too are dividing as a nation as part of an overall judgement by God. During our first bloody civil war in the 1860’s we very nearly divided along moral and ideological lines. Since the 1960’s this nation has become increasingly divided again and now there are effectively two nations: one that embraces a pagan religion, racial and ethnic tribalism, and rejects God, and another that still holds, albeit imperfectly and weakly, to the original biblical concepts of freedom and liberty to all without regard to race, color, creed, or even religion.

Is there Hope for the United States?

Will we suffer the same fate as the divided nation of Israel and Judah? Only time will tell. However, the very fact we are dividing like ancient Israel is actually encouraging. Not all nations experience the judgement of division. The very fact the United States is dividing, with one part embracing radical paganism, and the other holding on to liberty, indicates there is a Godly remnant remaining.

In the case of Israel, even after the southern kingdom fell, God miraculously preserved the exiled remnant of the southern kingdom, and they eventually returned to the land from exile. I’m not saying the United States is on the same path as Israel, but I am encouraged that in our path to judgement, there is at least a remnant to be divided.

A New Civil War is being Engineered

The divided elections and the angry fist waving debates tell a story.  America is moving towards civil war.  But in this case the war seems planned.  The pitting of great ideological and moral divisions are carefully positioned and thrown in a ring like two starved animals.  The goal is simple:  a divided America is no longer a world player and the last hurdle in the way of global government is taken out.  The gun grabbers gear up while the gun keepers consider the “R” word and patriotism becomes a fight for states’ rights and regionalism.

What’s behind this?

1. America has departed from God.  The Judeo-Christian ethic has been out for a long time.
2. Dark multidimensional forces have been allowed into this vacuum. Demonic possession is rampant and driving the very gun violence driving the gun grabbers.  Part of the plan.
3.  All human created civilizations have a life span.  America is not immune from the same moral and cultural entropy that doomed Greece and Rome.

This war is not certain.  Our path could change.  With prayer and God’s grace, the Republic could be saved.   But as we turn our backs on God, the path towards division is becoming more intense everyday.

World War! – and the Weapons are Economic (for now)

The collapse of the credit market was exacerbated if not initiated by the use of economic realities as a weapon of war between nations. Realize that as you see layoffs, empty homes, it is not only an economic cycle, but casualties of an intensifying war as sure as if bombs were dropped on our cities.

Over two years ago we noted the use of economics as a weapon of global war against the U.S., as the

nations opposed ot the United States, namely Russia, Iran, Venezuela, and others sought to destabilize our currency. While the current economic collapse has been made possible by the usury and corruption within the U.S., the unnatural swings in currency and commodity prices such as oil point clearly to geo-strategic use of the crises by other nations.

The West, in particular the United States, has fired its weapons back in the form of collapsing oil prices. Oil industry expert Jim Norman argues in his well-researched book “The Oil Card – Oil as Economic Warfare”   that the United States manipulates the price of oil as an economic weapon against countries such as Russia and China.

This type of war has a nasty way of becoming an “iron” war. Russia’s actions against Georgia involved control of and destruction of key oil pipelines and equipment.  On January 1 Russia’s state controlled

Gazprom shut off the major natural gas pipeline into Europe in the middle of the coldest winter in many years as Russian oil revenue evaporated overnight, threatening Putin’s dictatorship.  This time the American counterattack of oil price manipulation hit, but it is stirring up the Russian bear.

With nations pushed to the brink by this economic battle, it forces them to desperate measures, which almost always have a military aspect.  In this case, it falls right into the prophetic.  The Bible describes a situation where Russia is forced to make alliances and fight a war against Israel:

I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords.
Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
Ezekiel 38:4-5

Besides oil, weaponry is the only other major asset that Russia produces. Now, devoid of its oil revenue, desperate Russia is making alliances with the very group of nations predicted in Ezekiel 38. Russia’s customers include Iran (Persia), Ethiopia, Libya, Syria, Sudan, and others, all who swear the the destruction of Israel.

I do not know the timing of this war, but it is clear that economic warfare is hastening the conditions for these prophetic conflicts.

It’s Happening Again – The New Wave of Anti-Semitic Hatred

With Israel’s incrusion in Gaza, Israel’s delayed reaction to the hundreds of deadly rockets fired at its citizens is showing how the dark forces of anti-semitic hatred are once again festering to the surface worldwide.  In Europe, with Hitler a distant abstract memory, over 60 years of humanistic, leftist pacifism has failed to deal with the supernaturally driven evil that targets one small group of people and their tiny swath of prophetic land.  Beatings, intimidation, fire bombings, and crowds screaming Nazi death slogans (see full list below) are being generally ignored by the “enlightened” media in Europe and elsewhere.  While there are no doubt those who protest Israel’s action peaceably, their ill-guided pacifism and muted contempt,  rings of the do-nothings who sat on the sidelines during attacks on the Jews during the 1930’s

This humanistic education cannot wipe anti-semitism because it is not from a lack of reading philosophy.  Anti-semitism is a blatant demonstration of the spiritual reality that exists despite the materialism of leftist ideology.  The Jews are hated because this world is fallen, both with mankind’s inherent depravity and a very real non-human forces of evil under the command of a powerful multi-dimensional entity called by many human names.

They are hated because the very miraculous survival of the Jewish people through thousands of years of diaspora is evidence of a God – a God who came to this earth 2000 years ago in Christ and will come again to sit on the throne of this world from the land of His birth. God has not forgotten the Jewish people, despite the liberal theology of mainstream “Churchianity” that claims the church has replaced Israel. 

As a Christian, I am shamed that those who call themselves Christians would once again set up a religious system that would tolerate the politics used in this new Nazism. This comes not only from the social left of the church but also the paranoid conspiracies of some who see Jewish plans involved in their imagined scenarios.  Satan loves both sides here, because they all point to the continuation of his extermination of God’s signature upon humanity.

Please realize that I do not blindly support all that Israel does; their secular embrace of humanism has left them blinded.  The discotheques of Tel Aviv imitate the very debased immortality of America and Europe that would usher in a new Auschwitz. 

From http://www.adl.org/main_Anti_Semitism_International/Gaza_Tensions_Europe.htm:

Following is a selection of anti-Semitic incidents that have occurred in Europe since Israel’s Gaza incursion. 

Belgium: 
• Two synagogues and a Jewish home were attacked with Molotov cocktails. 
• Belgian Jewish leaders say they have received dozens of death threats. 
• Jewish stores and a Jewish school were vandalized.

Denmark:
• Two Israelis were shot by a Dane of Palestinian descent.

France:
• A burning car with a Molotov cocktail was rammed into the door of a Toulouse synagogue, while a rabbi was leading a class inside. 
• A 29-year-old Jewish man was attacked at a Paris subway station by a gang of about 20 people who yelled “Palestine will win.” 
• In Bordeaux, two kosher food shops were vandalized.
• A car at the synagogue in Toulon was burned.

Germany:
• Several anti-Israel protesters were arrested for illegal anti-Semitic banners at a demonstration, and Berlin’s Holocaust memorial was vandalized with anti-Semitic slogans and swastikas.

Greece:
• The leader of a far-right party published an editorial that accused Israel of acting in Gaza like the Nazis, claiming that such could be expected of Jews because they are “Christ-killers.”  The editorial also included the phrase, “it is known all over the world that a Jew smells of blood.” 
• A synagogue in Volos was defaced with graffiti that read: “The state of Israel murders – whose side are you on?”

Ireland:
• The Irish Times published a cartoon (“Final Solution,” Jan. 2) clearly equating Israel’s military operation against Hamas with the Holocaust.

Netherlands:
• At an anti-Israel rally in Amsterdam that included the participation of a Dutch legislator, the crowd chanted, “Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the gas.”

Spain:
• Anti-Israel demonstrations in Barcelona, Valencia, and Sevilla included signs that equated Israel with Nazi Germany.

Sweden:
• A Molotov cocktail was thrown into the synagogue in Helsingfors.

Switzerland:
• Anti-Israel protesters carried signs equating Israel with Nazi Germany.

Turkey:
• On January 4, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoðan accused Israel of atrocities and predicted divine punishment, saying Israel was “perpetrating inhuman actions which would bring it to self-destruction. Allah will sooner or later punish those who transgress the rights of innocents.”  Two days later, an Israeli basketball team in Turkey fled from the court into the dressing room, because the crowd became threatening, calling them “killers.”

United Kingdom:
• The Community Security Trust reports over 25 anti-Semitic incidents since December 29, 2008, including an arson attempt against a synagogue in the Brondesbury section of London.

• Jewish shops were attacked by Arab youths who reportedly shouted anti-Israel slogans

Lawlessness Revealed

Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.
2 Thessalonians 2:3 (NIV)

It is said in the Bible that the Earth was filled with violence in the days of Noah.  Jesus said the end times would be like the Days of Noah.

The signs of increasing violence and lawlessness are now apparent for even the skeptic to see. True, the world has always seen areas of horrible violence; wars, genocide.  However, in the last 100 years, violence has grown exponentially, even compared to the bloody past.  Now, even areas once considered “safe” are not immune. Here’s just a few examples.

Children as Targets

In the growing violence of Mexican drug wars “hitmen from Mexico’s drug gangs are breaking traditional codes of honour by killing children, in a chilling new chapter of a narcotics war that President Felipe Calderon is struggling to control.” (The Age)  School shootings are a continuing plague that has affected American and even highly controlled European suburbia.  Russian dictator Vladamir Putin used the terrorist hostage massacre of Russian schoolchildren in 2004 to consolidate his power.

 

The Rise of International Gangs

MS-13 is not just a dangerous street gang, but they represent an international terrorist sub-culture steeped in open Satanic worship.  From Alaska to South American, gangs like MS-13 have spread like a virus, there is no corner of the western hemisphere where this gang and its clones are not involved in brutal violence and crime.  If the U.S. enters a period of civil unreset due to ecomonic conditions and terrorists attacks, watch for these gangs take control of vast urban areas.  Refer to this documentary.

 

Terrorism

The growth of terrorism is apparent to all, and it has been steadily growing in power and scope. No longer content with hijacking and hostage taking, terrorism in the 21st century attacks the infrastructure of entire nations. From destroying massive skyscrapers in New York to taking over major sections of huge cities like Mumbai, this force is eroding at the very foundation of freedom.

 

Piracy

Now that pirates have seized one of the largest oil tankers in the world, people are noticing a problem that has really has been growing for the last several decades.  These high-tech bloodthirsty pirates take their booty and feed back into international terrorism and criminal networks.  All busy shipping lanes  are fast becoming targets for this scourge. No longer limited to areas like Somalia, or Southeast asia, these pirates are a new bluewater criminal navy with high tech resources and deadly modern firepower.

The Man of Lawlessness

This all is a prelude to a coming world leader who will have a false answer to an unprecendented growing level of violence and war. This man will be a false-Christ and people will look to him for hope.  Let me go on the record to say I do not think president elect Obama is this man, but I think the irrational, unbridled worship that people directed towards Obama is but a tiny hint of the worship they will direct to the man.

 

The Real Answer

The real answer to this violence is Christ.  Christ will return to this earth someday, and it is only He that offers both personal and International peace.

China’s choke-chain on America

With the continued, panicked injection of massive government intervention into financial markets, it is clear that one of our biggest debt holders, China exerts massive influence over us.   Part of all the rush to push through the massive bailout was due to in part because our international debt holders, in particular China, would cease lending us money until we made good with American taxpayer money on the hole created by loan defaults on a stellar scale.

Make no mistake, while you may not see Chinese troops on the street corners, or see their aircraft surveilling our citizens, our national sovereignty has been compromised. Read more

Increased military activity in the U.S. – Preparation for an Attack?

While I have no intention of informing our enemy of anything classified, it is clear the military is ramping up for some event.  Recently, the US Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) announced that:

We are now building the first of three CBRNE Consequence Management Response Forces,” said USNORTHCOM Commander Gen. Gene Renuart. “On the first of October, we’ll have an organized force, a trained force, an equipped force, a force that has adequate command and control and is on quick response – 48 hours – to head off to a large-scale nuclear, chemical, biological event that might require Department of Defense support. (http://www.northcom.mil/News/2008/093008.html)

In addition to this deployment, the US Northern command has also redeployed 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team “as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks.” Read more

False Flag Economy – The Coming Prophetic Push for Unified World Currency

For many years the scoffers laughed at those who predicted the current economic collapse, a collapse that even the pundits can see in their headlights now. Scoffers also laugh at the push to a unified world government and currency, yet the signs are that the stage is all but set for this system to occur.

Fixing the meltdown of the dollar and consequently many other currencies will likely require a new currency – regional at first, eventual global.  The Chinese official news agency is now advocating a new currency, and this same push is coming from the official Russian News Agency RIA Novosti.   They may want their own currencies to fill the bill, but no national currency will ever be trusted again.

China and Russia Prepare Together for War Against the U.S.

On June 1 it was announced that China and Russia are conducting joint military exercises. While Russia’s Putin was announcing the start of a new Cold War and testing sophisticated new ICBMs designed to penetrate missile defense systems, China has been quietly spending billions on developing a first-strike nuclear sneak attack capability. What’s even worse for the U.S., is that unlike the Cold War of the 20th century, these well funded enemies of the United States are working together. We are in a very dangerous period for the U.S., and this is not a good time to have appeasement orientated leaders in charge in the U.S.

Greenspan Predicts China Market Meltdown – A Threat to the U.S.

Former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan is warning the over inflated Chinese market is heading for a meltdown. Similar in some ways to the U.S. stock market prior to the Great Depression, the Chinese markets are fueled by the unregulated wild speculation that characterizes powerful, young industrial nations. The effect of this meltdown could trigger anything from a mild world recession to a full fledged world depression. With the U.S. money market being funded in great part by foreign investment, the lack of Chinese investment for the U.S. collective debt could be very dangerous for the U.S. In addition, an economically depressed China is a military danger, as the massive growth of the Chinese military would much more likely be put to expansionist use in poor economic conditions. After all, what better way to keep millions of young Chinese men employed than excercising their considerable military might?

Iran, Israel and Armilus-the Jewish Antichrist

Special guest to Drywind.net, Dr. Stephen M Yulish is the author of many books including The Great Harpazo Deception, Invasion Israel and many others. He was a member of the research group NICAP in the 1960s after reading Project Bluebook. He studied astronomy and exobiology at Case Western Reserve University and graduated in 1969. He eventually became a History Professor at The University of Arizona for seven years where he visited Allen Hyneck’s Tucson group. He became interested in Bible prophecy after he had a head on collision with Jesus Christ in 1988.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad not only has a finger on a nuclear trigger, he is driven to usher in the so-called “Islamic Messiah.” Stephen Yulish delves headlong into this reality through the lens of Biblical prophecy. Yes, there are UFOs involved! Click below for the full article –Drywind.net

U.S. Military Reports China in Cyber War with U.S.

With the recent attacks on the DNS infrastructure in the news, Federal Computer Week reports Department of Defense cyber defense units such as the Naval Network Warfare Command (Netwarcom) in Norfolk, Virginia are continually defending the U.S. defense infrastructure against organized attacks by the Chinese military. FCW quotes Netwarcom officials who say “it’s hard to believe it’s not government-driven.”

On the heels of increased Chinese military activity including the demonstration of their ability to attack our critical satellite infrastructure, this is in line with China’s preparing to become the dominate world superpower. Only the U.S. stands in their way.

Between the threat from China, Russia’s postioning itself against the U.S. again, and the threat of nuclear terrorism, it is not hard to imagine the U.S. going away as a superpower. At best, this will be a slow ramp-down from superpower status like the U.K. in the last century. However, it is clear our enemies are gearing up for a more overt series of moves that may be far worse than Pearl Harbor. What better place to start than our high technology sector?

UFOs and China’s Space Attacks – Moving Towards the Nuclear Apocalypse and World Deception

This last week saw two events that seem to be unrelated. On January 11, China launched a ballistic missile to destroy a target satellite in a demonstration of its ability to defeat U.S. satellites designed to detect and defend against nuclear attack. Also, hot on the heels of the highly published Chicago Airport UFO, on January 9, the media again picked up that an Air Force Colonel sighted a formation of UFOs flying over Arkansas. What’s even more interesting than the UFO sightings themselves is the mainstream media reporting on these events.

So how is this increased media discussion of UFOs related to China’s anti-satellite weapons test?

It is clear the world is moving towards a nuclear war; China’s aggressive actions are especially provocative since North Korea, Iran, Russia are all becoming increasingly aggressive toward the United States. As I reported back in December, China’s space weapons are focused to “blind” the US so we cannot detect or defend against a nuclear attack. If that wasn’t enough, On January 7, Israel deliberately leaked to the media that it plans to use tactical nuclear weapons to defeat Iran’s nuclear bomb threat. The world waits for the mushroom clouds; TV shows like Jericho and 24 add to the public frenzy. The world asks, who can save us from this?

This is where the UFOs and the growing tendency of the mainstream media to report on them fits in. As I have explained in previous articles, many are looking to so-called “aliens” to “save us from ourselves.” They expect these beings to help stop a nuclear war. If one or more nuclear weapons are used in the coming months or years, this belief will spread beyond a few kooky new-agers to become a much more mainstream view as UFO sightings become more common.

I believe a great deception is coming. Many truly unexplained UFOs are a manifestations of extremely malevolent, highly advanced, multidimensional entities called fallen angels. As we approach the prophetic events predicted by the Bible, these arch-enemies of Jesus Christ are going to do everything in their power, which is considerable, to prevent people from believing in God. These recent high profile sightings are a deliberate attempt to get noticed; as this conflict continues to heat up, expect more weird sightings.

Finally, the “aliens” may even stop or reduce a nuclear exchange, making them appear to be mankind’s saviors. In recent months, Iran has been in the grip of UFO frenzy – with UFOs seen over their nuclear facilities. Those who think these are UFOs are U.S. craft are not informed; there is no reason our stealthy aircraft would make themselves visible in this fashion.

But don’t be fooled; these beings are not out for our good, as they are the very definition of evil.

When Christ decides to remove those who believe on him from the Earth, these beings will attempt to explain this great disappearance away as caused by “extraterrestrials.” Their power is considerable, they are not just spirit beings, they have high technology and will fool many. However, their days are numbered, as Christ will return to judge. You cannot remain on the fence during this upcoming conflict; please choose Christ before it is too late.

China and U.S. at War in Space – Iran to join the battle

According to the esteemed Jane’s Defense, China has been firing beam weapons on U.S. early warning satellites in order to prevent the U.S. from detecting a first strike or the initial stages of an attack.

Command Sergeant Major David Lady of the Joint Functional Combat Command for Integrated Missile Defense, said at the Strategic Space & Defense conference in Omaha on 12 October that the attacks were detected after US satellite operators – most likely users of the National Reconnaissance Office’s secret imaging satellites – observed that the satellites occasionally failed to perform over China. — Jane’s Defense Weekly

The leak of this incident has been followed by increasing statements by the Defense Department on this Chinese anti satellite threat, followed by the overt statement on December 14 that the U.S. is basically declaring a war in space now that we have been overtly attacked. Robert Joseph, undersecretary of state for arms control and international security, declared:

The United States will “oppose others who wish to use their military capabilities to impede or deny our access to and use of space,” he said. “We will seek the best capabilities to protect our space assets by active or passive means.” — Washington Times

Besides China Iran also seeks to join this battle against the U.S. by joining with China. Iran has used the facade of a space program to develop long range ballistic missile, and it has the capability to develop anti-satellite weapons as well. Targets could also be Israel’s extensive network of early warning and communication satellites.

This ability to take out U.S. and Israel’s command and communication network is the goal, and the first signs of an all out war may be the confusion as early warning and communication satellites go down. The space part of this world war has begun at a low level, but escalation is inevitable.
