I think with events that are going on in the world right now, not everything that is reality is revealed in what you see and what you hear. I watched this infamous movie—Innocence of Muslims; www.youtube.com. If you think this movie was the cause of what's going on, you're greatly mistaken. It's been online since July. There have been over 6-million hits watching it. It is no more that a spoof against Mohammed that you might find on Saturday Night Live. You would think by the reaction that it was a really terrible and horrible thing, but it wasn't.

What are some of the underlying pressures behind what's going on that we don't know about? Let's see a principle, an absolute fact. Who controls the world? Let's see. Here's what most of the world does not know. Here is what most people are not allowed to even comprehend or see or understand. Everybody's busy in their own lives and their own little circles.

However, today there's the ability to have a whole lot of information concerning a whole lot of things going beyond that you would ever find out if you just listened to the radio, watched television, or read the newspaper.

Here's one they won't tell you. You might hear this in some churches. They might have some understanding of it; I'm sure there are probably a lot that do. However, beyond that we also need to tie in some history, we need to tie in current events. We need to tie in prophecy. All of these things come together when we're looking at the overall big picture. Let's read who controls the world.

Luke 4:5: "Then the devil led Him up into a high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time…. [everything, from beginning to end] …And the devil said to Him, 'I will give You all this authority, and the glory of them all; for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I desire'" (vs 5-6). Satan the devil is the one who is pulling the strings behind the scenes. Remember, he can only do what God explicitly gives him permission to do. He can only do those things to further the development of prophecy.

Satan thinks he can develop the whole world into a system that will match what God has promised with the coming Kingdom. That's what Satan wants to do. He has a counterfeit out there he's working with. We read about that a couple of weeks ago in Dan. 2 that when you come to the latter days, the time of the ten kings of the ten toes, it's going to be partly strong and partly weak, but it's going to be a worldwide system.
Here's the key. This is what people don't understand, v 7: "'Therefore, if You will worship me in my presence, all things shall be Yours.'"

• We know he's called 'the god of this world' (2-Cor. 4)
• We know that he is an adversary of God.
• We know that he is busy deceiving the whole world.

Where is it going to come to? Everything has to hinge on history in the past, prophecy in the future, and current events in the middle. The middle is like a gauge that keeps moving toward the end. We're going to view these things a little differently. On television it looks like the world's coming to the end, but it's not!. Everything is going to lead to Rev. 13. Let's review again and read it into the record.

Everything else that you see in the world must be configured to the fulfilling of the prophecy in Rev. 13. Remember what we covered: Prophecy—It's the Event, Not the Date. For major events to take place, there must be other minor and semi-major events to come along to help put this into place.

Revelation 13:1: "And I stood on the sand of the sea; and I saw a beast rising up out of the sea..." We know Rev. 17:15 says that the waters are people, nations, languages and tongues.

Verse 7: "And he was given power to make war against the saints, and to overcome them; and he was given authority over every tribe and language and nation." That's what's going to happen in the final analysis—a world government. Here is a description of it:

Verse 1: "...having seven heads and ten horns..." These are various rulers and kingdoms. As we have covered in the past, the ten horns represent the ten toes of Dan. 2. Those represent ten regions in the world. It's not ten kings coming out of Europe. That has been an interpretation of the past, but it's not valid.

Verse 2: "And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, and his feet like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion; and the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority."

Coming down to the system and coming down to the leader, what did Satan say to Jesus? 'All will be Yours if You will worship me.' Those who control the world worship Satan. God, on the other hand, is working with His people, the rejected, to prepare them to rule in the Kingdom of God. God selects those that the world rejects. Satan selects the elite and the 'cream of the crop.' The elite are the ones who control it about which you know very little indeed. It's an amalgamation of all the systems in the past.

Verse 3: "And I saw one of his heads as if it were slain to death, but his deadly wound was healed…" That can refer to:

• The system
• The individual leader

As the system develops we don't know how many leaders there will be up to the final one. What we need to do is also take a bit of caution and not be running down the road, 'Prophecy is speeding up, prophecy is speeding up.' No, it's all on time!

When we were in Boise and I was pastoring Boise, what did we have in 1968-70? American cities burning, riots and everything like that! We got letters from Headquarters saying, 'Prophecy is speeding up, the end is coming near. The Church is going to a place of safety in 1972.' Remember? Forty years later here we sit—correct? Yes! It has to be the events that God determines and allows Satan to have. Can't be what we think. Can't be what we interpret. We're to watch the event.

Notice what it's going to do, "...and the whole earth was amazed and followed the beast" (v 3). There has to be a key critical thing to take place to make the whole world follow a single system and its single leader. Stop and think for just a minute. Is the world today ready for it? No!

Verse 4: "And they worshiped the dragon..." The whole world is going to end up worshiping the dragon, Satan the devil. How do you do that? He's already got all the religions that he has created outside of true Christianity and the counterfeit Christianity's that we have.

What does he do? He attacks all forms of Christianity many different ways: head on: subtlety, infiltrated, change the doctrines. So much so that in the book entitled, Christianity Without Religion—The long and short of it is, yes, Christianity is going to change. The way you start the change, you do it yourself. You go out to these other religions and you attend their services to see what they're doing.

There are not going to be many people do that at first, but:

• Is there a movement for a one-religious system? Yes, there is!
• Is there a movement for a one universal world government? Yes, there is!

These things are going to take time to come into full play. So, you have to put it all together.

• Do we now have science that leads to nearly God-like things? Yes, indeed!
• Do we now have communication where we know instantly what happens around the world? Yes, we do!

A woman in Australia recommended that we take one of the sermons that I did and make it into a movie. The title was What On Earth is Happening in the World Today? I thought that was a good idea. We had the transcript all made up into booklet form. I just got the final copy of it yesterday and I was reading it and guess what? With the events that are taking place it's out of date.

It would seem, What is this booklet? Looks what's going on now! The only thing we can do is handle it by sermon. If necessary, get the sermon transcript up a little sooner online.

Verse 4: "And the worshiped the dragon, who gave his authority to the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying, 'Who is like the beast? Who has the power to make war against him?'" Then after he was slain, he continued forty-two months (v 5).

What's happening? I saw the video. You want to know where to find it. I'll give you the address. It is: Innocence of Muslims movie trailer on www.youtube.com. Very interesting! This is done by—it looks like: Egyptians, Pakistanis, because it was a Coptic minister who did it as a spoof against Mohammed. Is that the only reason that it took place? We'll find out!

What is the one thing that a government would like to do, especially here in America? What two things have the elite wanted to do and it has evaded them over and over again?

• freedom of speech
• right to bear arms

Why would the U.S. government say to the whole world that this great catastrophe of riots took place—which probably only amounted to less than total number of people involved in all 21 of the countries not counting Syria. What's happening in Syria is another reason of the overall thing—is this remote little video? In order to carry on a deception you must have a plausible explanation so no one will investigate what you are doing! That's probably what this is. Here's the headline:

White House Pressures Google Over Anti-Islamic Video (By Declan McCullagh, Sept. 14, 2012; news.cnet.com)

They want to control freedom of speech. They keep asking, they keep asking, and Google says no. But they did grant government of Libya and Egypt the right to cut it off on the access to their satellite reception. After you will see it, if you look at it, you will see that's no cause at all.

The pressure from senior U.S. government officials has raised eyebrows among civil libertarians because the anti-Muhammad video is shielded by the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment, which protects freedom of speech and expression.

This exactly what all the oppressed really want: freedom of expression.

Think about the number of rioters up here at the top. Think about the vast populations in those countries, 53-million alone in Egypt. Was everyone in Egypt rioting? Do all of the citizens of the Muslim countries agree 100% with the imams? Do you think all of these women burdened down in burqas and burlap sacks with peep holes, do you think that they love their Mohammed? No! But if they don't want their throats slit, they better agree.

There is a growing movement of Muslims who want reform. What is happening, you are having 21st century values transmitted to 15th century civilizations. So, this is the front.

I have another report that Jim gave me; you see how instant communication is?

Libya: All About Oil, or All About Banking? (www.truth-out.org; by Ellen Brown, April 13, 2011)

Interesting article. Let me tell you what life was like in Libya and see how many people really wanted to rebel.

Why They Killed Gaddafi "A Story You Must Read" (Truther, June 12, 2012; www.pakalertpress.com)

• Gaddafi nationalized his nation's oil reserves and used the revenue to build schools, universities, hospitals, and infrastructure.

• Money from Libya's oil revenue is deposited into the bank account of every citizen.

And it's not in the world central banking system. Key to understanding what's going on.

• He raised the literacy rate from 20 per cent to 83 per cent.

• He built one of the finest health care systems in the "Third World."

All people have access to doctors, hospitals, clinics and medicines—free of charge...
Wouldn't our president love that?

...If a Libyan needs surgery that is unavailable in Libya, funding is provided for the surgery overseas.

Go get it! Why would they hate us when they have better than what we could give them? Think about it.

• He raised the life expectancy from 44 to 75 years of age.

• Basic food items were subsidized and electricity was made available throughout the country.

• He developed huge irrigation projects in order to support a drive towards agricultural development and food self-sufficiency.

• Recognizing that water, not oil, would be the scarcest resource of the future, Gaddafi initiated the construction of the Great Man Made River, which took years to complete.

Referred to as a wonder of the modern world, this river pumps millions of gallons of water daily from the heart of the Sahara desert to the coast, where the land is suitable for agriculture.

My, what a mighty oppressing dictator he was. He was a little loony, that's true, but the other side of his brain apparently worked pretty good.

• Any Libyan who wanted to become a farmer was and still is given free use of land, a house, farm equipment, livestock and seed.

How oppressed they are!

• Gaddafi vowed that his own parents, who lived in a tent in the desert, would not be housed until every Libyan was housed.

He fulfilled that promise.

• Under Gaddafi, Libya has now attained the highest standard of living in Africa.
•  
• Gaddafi put up a communications satellite—the first in Africa—to bring the continent of Africa into the 21st century of technology.

This also interrupted the massive fees that European companies has been charging the Africans.... [Bad boy.]

• He gave women full access to education and employment, and he has enabled women to serve in the armed forces.

• Gaddafi started and financed the African Union to tie all the Mother continent into an eventual body with a common purpose called the "United States of Africa."

• Gaddafi did so much to develop Africa that even Obama's arrogant Caucasian cohort Hillary Clinton had to admit as she stood before the African Union:

"I know it is true over many years, Gaddafi played a major role in providing financial support for many African nations and institutions…"

She could not claim America did ANYTHING but exploit, exploit, exploit—and murder!

• He was the first and only leader in the Arab world to formally apologize for the Arab role in the trade of African slaves.

Read any of that in the news? Ever heard of any of that? Are we spoon-fed lies all over the place? Yes, we are.

He acknowledged that Blacks were the true owners of Libya and proclaimed in his Green Book, "the Black race shall prevail throughout the world."

• Nelson Mandela called Muammar Gaddafi one of the 20th century's greatest freedom fighters, and insisted that the eventual collapse of South Africa's apartheid system owed much to Gaddafi and Libyan support.

(published by The Final Call and LibyaSOS.)

How about that?

Libya: All About Oil, or All About Banking?

We need to re-think everything. How many sermons have I given on a coming one-world currency? What is it that they have to do in order to bring it about? They have to have all the central banks in the world

• with the same regulations
• with the same proportion of reserves
• with automatic digital transfer of funds

which Libya did not have.

Before the war in Iraq, Sadam Hussein did not have and threatened to forsake using the dollar as the reserve currency. Everything that we are told publicly to believe does not tell you the truth for the reason for what is being done.

I tell you what, if America had a leader who did all of this for the entire nation, they would change the Constitutional amendment for repeated terms—wouldn't they? Yes, indeed!

Here's what happened when the revolution took place in Benghazi. Now, follow this closely and you need to think about our ambassador who was there. It's a shame he's dead. It's a shame the Navy Seals are dead. But why would we send an ambassador, before the war was even over, to Benghazi to come and be with the rebels? Because what was being done was not to get rid of a mean, nasty, oppressive dictator!

We already have the International Court—don't we? What do you think the International Court would say if this was presented in evidence for Muammar Gaddafi that I just read you and he was accused of being an oppressive dictator? Guess what they did?

In a statement released last week, the rebels reported on the results of a meeting held on March 19. Among other things, the supposed rag-tag revolutionaries announced the [d]esignation of the Central Bank of Benghazi as a monetary authority competent in monetary policies in Libya and appointment of a Governor to the Central Bank of Libya, with a temporary headquarters in Benghazi.
(Libya: All About Oil or All about Banking?)

With ties to the BIS, the Bank of International Settlements, which is one of the main institutions for the coming world central bank. BIS, the United States Reserve, World Bank and the International Monetary Fund—they will all come together. But first they must make sure that all nations have a central bank to tie into it and that they are controlled by the regulations set by the super-elite who control all the money in the world.

You know who they worship and they are rewarded by Satan. Satan wants to prove to God that his coming world government will be as good as or better than God's. That may sound like an outrageous statement, but you look at how things are going. Just plug that into your thinking and use that as a framework to watch and see what's going on. Just like we've covered, people in the world do not understand prophecy very much because they don't have the framework of the Passover, the Holy Days, and the Sabbath. Therefore, they don't understand the Scriptures with the clarity they need to, to see what's really going on.

They may say nice things, they may be loving people, they may be sincere, they may be dedicated, they may be doing wonderful works, but do they understand the Bible and the Truth of God? No, they don't! This is quite a thing.

So what happened? They set up the central bank first in the midst of the fighting! Makes you wonder—doesn't it? It's all about oil! Gaddafi wanted to have the Arabian dinar. They know from the satellites what's under the earth. They've discovered there's 144-tons of gold in addition to the oil. So, you must get a central bank in there so the world elite can siphon off some of the profits and build their world government.

Interview with General Wesley Clark (Ret.):

In it he says that about ten days after September 11, 2001, he was told by a general that the decision had been made to go to war with Iraq. Clark was surprised and asked why. "I don't know!" was the response. "I guess they don't know what else to do!" Later, the same general said they planned to take out seven countries in five years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Iran. (Libya: All About Oil or All about Banking?)

They've already got Iraq, which was not in the central banking system.

• Syria is about ready to fall, not in the banking system.
• Lebanon, because it's an agent of Iran.
• Libya, they've taken care of that.
• Somalia, they're getting a handle on that.
• The Sudan, they're ready to get a handle on that because there's a lot of oil there.

Iran.

Every single one of the nations that now—ten years later—have either been taken care of or are probably on the list to get taken care of. That's the front of things that are going on here. The nations of Israel, modern Israel today, they cannot be controlled. If you haven't seen the movie "2016", go see it before it's taken away. I remember the last scene and it was interesting, the one who did the movie was a naturalized Indian from India who became a great American citizen. I'm glad he did it rather than a white person against Obama.

Everything that Obama's been doing is to bring down—as many commentators have said—the United States to size, because they can't bring in their world system with the United States being so independent and not wanting to submit to the yoke of world regulations and laws.

All these things you have to tie together. You might go back and go over some of the sermons I've done in the past so you can see that this is a step-by-step incremental procedure and then all of a sudden something happens and it's done.
This is what has happened in Libya. How it's going down in Egypt, I don't know. There are 52-million people in Egypt and there were probably less than 10,000 people in all of the riots and the things that were going on it made it look like all of Egypt is up in the air. Now it's in 21 countries.

We'll look into the history of the nature of the people and see that it's very easy to inflame them, by nature. There is also something else going on that they don't realize.

We'll come back after the break and we'll look at the Biblical history. We have looked at the things that are taking place today. Thanks to these reports, see why they want to control the internet? They don't want these things spread around. Once it gets on the Internet, it's everywhere.
