THE PROPHETIC GUIDE And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. Dan. 11:45 O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain . . Dan. 9:16
Report on the Eleventh Chapter of Daniel Isaiah 2:2-3 - And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORDS house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. (The prophecy is in the entire chapter; and it is eschatological.) The Ultimate Deception? Prophecies are in the Bible - some widely misinterpreted, especially by the Evangelicals, some ignored, and some not even recognized as prophecies: Isaiah 2:2-3 - Above Isaiah 14:12-14 - How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Rev. 17:7-14 - And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 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. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. 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. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. Rev. 16:13-16 - And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. PALESTINE IN PROPHECY

The Noahide Laws
(A strange piece of legislation enacted in 1991)
|
The U.S. Congress officially recognized the Noahide Laws in legislation
which was passed by both houses. Congress and the President of the
United States, George Bush, indicated in Public Law 102-14, 102nd
Congress, that the United States of America was founded upon the Seven
Universal Laws of Noah, and that these Laws have been the bedrock of
society from the dawn of civilization. They also acknowledged that the
Seven Laws of Noah are the foundation upon which civilization stands and
that recent weakening of these principles threaten the fabric of
civilized society, and that justified preoccupation in educating the
Citizens of the United States of America and future generations is
needed. For this purpose, this Public Law designated March 26, 1991 as
Education Day, U.S.A. (From a web page titled "Articles
Concerning The Seven Laws of Noah and Related Concepts |
From the Jewish Virtual Library:
While committed to the principle that "There is nothing permitted to an Israelite yet forbidden to a heathen" (Sanh. 59a), the seven Noachide Laws were not as extensive as the parallel prohibitions applicable to Jews, and there are indeed situations in which a non-Jew would be liable for committing an act for which a Jew would not be liable. As to the latter point, as a general rule, the Noachide is criminally liable for violation of any of his seven laws even though technical definitional limitations would prevent liability by a Jew performing the same act. Thus a non-Jew is liable for blasphemy even if only with one of the divine attributes; murder even of a *foetus; robbery even of less than a perutah; and the eating of flesh torn from a living animal even of a quantity less than the size of an olive. In all these cases a Jew would not be liable (Sanh. 56a59b; Yad, Melakhim, ch. 9, 10). One additional element of greater severity is that violation of any one of the seven laws subjects the Noachide to capital punishment by decapitation (Sanh. 57a).
+++++
Even though the Talmud and
Maimonides (Sanh. 47a; Yad, Melakhim 9.14) stipulate that a non-Jew who
violated the Noachide laws was liable to capital punishment, authorities in
recent generations have expressed the view that this is only the maximal
punishment. According to this view, there is a difference in this respect
between Noachide law and the halakhah.
According to the halakhah,
where a Jew was liable for capital punishment, it was a mandatory
punishment, provided that all conditions had been met, whereas in Noachide
law death is the maximal punishment, to be enforced only in exceptional
cases such as when the need arises to fight against the proliferation of
crime (viz. Or Same'aḥ, ibid.).
This is the similarity between Noachide law and the king's law, as stated
above. According to some opinions, this approach, in which a differentiation
is made between various levels of
severity in crimes and sentencing policy in Noachide law, may be
corroborated from the works of Maimonides (viz. Bibliography, Enker).
[Menachem Elon (2nd
ed.)]
Can the death penalty associated with the Noahide Laws be related to Rev. 13:15? Thinking this question through biblically, the text clearly states that the penalty of death is pronounced against those who "would not worship the image of the beast." The question is in what form does worship of the image of the beast manifest itself? Central to the question is a choice between the commandments of God and the commandments of men. This would seem to make it possible for the Noahide Laws to be applied in this context. Nevertheless, it is also clear from the Scriptures that worship of the sun god is a great abomination in the sight of God, as enunciated in Eze. 8:15-16. Throughout the Old Testament God declares His wrath against worship of the sun. Why? because it was the worship of Satan. (Cf. The Two Babylons - Chapter VII.) Most significantly, deification of the sun permeates the system of worship instituted by the papacy (the beast of Rev. 13.) (Cf. Pagan Sun Worship and Catholicism.) There is a profusion of references in the Writings of Ellen G. White to a universal (as distinct from national) Sunday law which is decreed at the very end of history, just before the great Powers of Heaven are revealed against rebellious mankind and the god to whom they given allegiance - Satan impersonating Jesus Christ. It all makes biblical sense.
Can the Noahide Laws be reconciled with the death penalty which will issue for refusal to worship the sun god? Perhaps not. The Jews observe a seventh-day Sabbath. The Muslims worship on Friday. However, the mystery remains - why the enactment of these Laws? There is a page on this website which describes how the appearance of Satan as the impostor Christ may be the catalyst bringing together Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and other less prominent religions. The Noahide Laws may be supplanted or modified under the hypnotic influence of the Devil. Interestingly, a COMMISSION FOR RELIGIOUS RELATIONS WITH THE JEWS met in Jerusalem in March, 2007, and attempted to reconcile the Noahide Laws with Christianity in terms that, "Jewish tradition emphasizes the Noachide Covenant (cf. Gn 9: 9-12) as containing. the universal moral code which is incumbent on all humanity. This idea is reflected in Christian Scripture in the Book of Acts 15: 28-29." (Cf. BILATERAL COMMISSION MEETING, JERUSALEM, MARCH 11-13, 2007.) Whatever all of this may signify, at a minimum, enactment by the US Congress of the Noahide Laws is a demonstration to scoffers of how easily religious laws can be passed (in violation of the Constitution) which are connected to a death penaly for violation. It is unlikely that most, or perhaps any, of the legislators who voted for the Laws realized that there was such a connection.

Messianism
is the belief in a messiah, a savior or redeemer. Many religions have a messiah concept, including the Jewish Messiah, the Christian Christ, the Muslim Mahdi, the Buddhist Maitreya, the Hindu Kalki and the Zoroastrian Saoshyant. The state of the world is seen as hopelessly flawed beyond normal human powers of correction and divine intervention through a specially selected and supported human is seen as necessary.From the speech of Ahmajinedad at the United Nations:
"Fortuitously,
opportunities are accessible. With the grace
of God Almighty, the existing pillars of the
oppressive system are crumbling. Great
developments in favor of humankind as well
as its true and real rights are on the way.
A golden and brilliant future is awaiting
mankind.
A global community filled with justice,
friendship, brotherhood and welfare is at
hand, as I have elaborated.
A community which will tread the path of
beauty and love under the rule of the
righteous and perfect human being, the One
promised by all divine prophets and the One
who is the true lover of humanity. A
community that will be devoid of any fear,
despair and privation. Such a community will
soon be ours. The community promised by the
great divine Prophets Noah, Abraham, Moses,
Jesus Christ and Mohammad (PBUH) is about to
materialize.
Let us, hand in hand, expand the thought of
resistance against evil and the minority of
those who are ill-wishers. Let's support
goodness and the majority of people who are
good and the embodiment of absolute good
that is the Imam of Time,
The
Promised One who will come
accompanied by Jesus
Christ, and accordingly
design and implement the just and humanistic
mechanisms for regulating the constructive
relationships between nations and
governments." (Emphasis added)
