Photo: Swiss Guards serve as the Pope’s bodyguards.
On June 3, the Italians seize $134.5 billion in US Treasuries (maybe fake, maybe not) from two Japanese on the Swiss-Italian border. Under the law, the Italians may have the right to claim a healthy % of them.
On June 29th the Pope publishes a new encyclical, immediately prior to the G-8 meeting in Italy and President Obama’s visit to the Vatican, and calls for a new world order government by an international entity with teeth to enforce against US financial institutions.
Then, on July 8th, the Swiss government suddenly tells the IRS to p*** off with respect to the UBS case.
Just a coincidence?
I always loved the story of Samuel, the beginning of politics…
“And the Lord told him: ‘Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. As they have done from the day I brought them out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them do.’” {1Samuel 8:7-9}
“Now then, stand still and see this great thing the Lord is about to do before your eyes! Is it not wheat harvest now? I will call upon the Lord to send thunder and rain. And you will realize what an evil thing you did in the eyes of the Lord when you asked for a King.
Then Samuel called upon the Lord, and that same day the Lord sent thunder and rain. So all the people stood in awe of the Lord and Samuel.” {1 Samuel 12:16-18}
“Do not be afraid,” Samuel replied. “You have done all this evil; yet do not turn away from the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart. Do not turn away after useless idols. They can do you no good, nor can they rescue you, because they are useless.” “For the sake of His great name the Lord will not reject His people, because the Lord was pleased to make you his own. As for me, far be it from that I should sin against the Lord by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right. But be sure to fear the Lord and serve Him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things He has done for you. Yet if you persist in doing evil, both you and your king will be swept away.” {1Samuel 12:19-25}
Interesting are the words of Josephus…
“Some nations place the sovereignty of their land in the hands of a single ruler {monarchy], some in the hands of a number of rulers {oligarchy}, and some in the hands of the people {democracy]. Moses our Teacher taught us to place our faith in none of these forms of government. He taught us to obey the rule of God, for to God alone did he accord kingship and power. He commanded the people always to raise their eyes to God, for He is the source of all good for mankind in general and for each person in particular and in Him will people find help when they pray to Him in their time of suffering, for no act is hidden from His understanding and no hidden thought of man’s heart is hidden from Him.” {Josephus Flavius, Contra Apion, Volume One}
I had noticed at the end of the encyclical the pope wished that all mankind would worship God the Father then said a prayer to Mary. What’s wrong with worshipping Mary?
Jesus Christ had to born of a sinner to “come in the flesh”:
1 John 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
