  1. Waiting For The Vision

  2. Time has been a great test

  3. Vol 5 Page 196 Individually considered, one of the most serious foes of those who have been begotten to holiness of spirit through the divine counsels and promises, is the evil spirit of fear. It would persuade us that probably there is some mistake: either that God did not inspire the exceeding great and precious promises, or that they are not for us, or that for some reason we can never attain them. All of God's people are liable to attack from this wrong spirit of doubt and fear-- some more and some less persistently; and all have need to fight down this evil spirit courageously and to destroy it, lest it kill the fruits of the holy Spirit and finally quench it-- drive it out of us entirely.

  8. Land HO!! OK Let's Go back to Spain

  9. I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved (argued with). And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Hab 2:1-3

  10. Look at some Scriptures and statements from the Pastor • The nominal church • The Governments • The Financial situation Look at some some of the event of the day and how they relate to the above

  11. Jer. 25:29-38 Isa. 28:2; Rev. 16:14; Nahum 1:4,5,8 Zeph. 3:8; Zeph. 3:9 Isa. 13:4 Zech. 8:9-11 Rev. 16:18; Mal. 4:1 Heb. 12:26 Nahum 1:3,6,7 Zeph. 3:8; 2 Pet. 3:10,12; Chapter 11 – Volume 4

  15. ...what God calls Babylon, and what men call Christendom - C70 In this larger fulfilment, Egypt represents the world; Babylon represents the nominal Church, called Christendom; A313 We see that those nations which both Papacy and Protestantism designate Christian Nations, and whose dominions they call Christendom (i.e., Christ's Kingdom), are not such. They are "kingdoms of this world," B80 The Bible points out that about this time the Nominal Church systems of the world will rise to great prominence again in connection with the Civil powers. We can readily see the grounds for this. All the kingdoms, financially weakened, will realize the necessity for keeping a dominating grip upon the public and preventing anything akin to Socialism and Anarchy. They will naturally look to the great religious institutions called Churches to support them, to threaten the people with future torments, and in general to help keep the Ship of State from being overturned. The churches also will be ready and glad for such an opportunity. Already, they are rolling together as a scroll--the one side, Catholic, the other, Protestant, opposed and yet connected-- each side united and federated to the best of its ability.

  16. The Kings Of The Earth (Rev 18:9) And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, (Rev 18:10) Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

Political Power George Bush John Kerry Pope Ratzinger President Bush treated his final visit with Pope John Paul II in Vatican City on June 4, 2004 A week later Any Catholic who voted for this "Catholic politician, would be guilty of formal cooperation in evil and so unworthy to present himself for Holy Communion." Bush won 52% of the Roman Catholic vote on Tuesday, and got the support of 56% of white Catholics, defeating the first Catholic presidential candidate from a major party since John F. Kennedy. In 2000, Bush narrowly lost the Catholic vote.

The Religious Right Christian activists gain pro-life victory in U.S. House against all odds Banning partial birth abortion bill sponsored by Congressman Steve Chabot, R-OH Making President Bush's federal tax cuts permanent President Bush's judicial nominees/federal court vacancy crisis Complete ban on human cloning "Internet Gambling Enforcement Act" "Child Custody Protection Act", HR 476 Zero-out taxpayer funding of abortion family planning funding Bipartisan "Syria Accountability Act," H.R. 4483 "Boy Scouts of America Equal Access Act" "This Republican Party of Lincoln has become a party of theocracy." U.S. Representative Christopher Shays, R-CT, (New York Times, March 23, 2005)

  21. The Religious Right "I find it hard to understand people who revere Thomas More but who themselves selectively oppose the teachings of the pope” (Patron Saint Of Lawyers) 1/2005 “We attorneys and intellectuals who don’t like to be regarded as unsophisticated can have no greater [role] model than St. Thomas More”,’ Scalia said 10/2001 Antonin Scalia Supreme Court Justice 1986 -

  23. The Merchants Of The Earth (Rev 18:11) And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

  24. The Merchants Of The Earth Stability • Government • Society • Money supply

  25. The Merchants Of The Earth The debts of the warring nations are authoritatively stated to amount to fifty-five billions of dollars--a sum which, of course, can never be paid in gold; and everybody knows that there is not sufficient gold to pay the interest on the debts of the world. This spells bankruptcy--as soon as the war shall end and the issuing of bonds shall cease to provide money for the payment of the interest on other bonds. The nations are thus falling into the chasm of bankruptcy, but it is with them as with a human being falling, the sensations are not so bad until the falling ceases in a demoralizing concussion. Evidently the war will not stop from lack of men to shoot and be shot, but either from lack of food or from financial weakness. That it will be the latter is the author's opinion. Vol 4 forward 1916

  26. The Merchants Of The Earth Public Debt US 8 Trillion Japan 6 Trillion Germany 1 Trillion England 600 Billion

  27. The Merchants Of The Earth "The present era has no comparable referent in the past history of capitalism. We have a higher percentage of the intelligentsia engaged in buying and selling pieces of paper and promoting trading activity than in any past era. A lot of what I see now reminds me of Sodom and Gomorrah. You get activity feeding on itself, envy and imitation. It has happened in the past that there came bad consequences." - Mr. Munger Berkshire Hathaway 5/2005 "A reliable measure of destruction is the so-called 'notional' size of the derivatives market trading interest-rate futures, options, and swaps. It now stands at a quarter of a quadrillion dollars (250 Trillion) and is increasing at an accelerating pace." Antal Fekete

  28. The Merchants Of The Earth US Bonds (IOU)'s Federal Reserve “Creates Money” We have money again.

  30. The Merchants Of The Earth Up to 70% of Germans also say they are prepared to seek professional help for psychological problems. Mental health experts blamed the rise on Germany's faltering economy, which has seen unemployment rise to over 5m. - BBC 4/2005 (Rev 3:18) I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

  31. Summary What we believe is not dependent on what we see around us, but it helps. That the expect ions that we had are real and correct. That we have just a little more time. --- How long.... We should hold to the vision we have been given. It is not tarring, it just seems to .
