"The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And he said to him, 'I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. So if you worship me, it will all be yours.'" Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.'" Luke 4:5-8
Satan offered Jesus
authority over the kingdoms of the world for they were his to give. The word he uses for
authority is
Exousia. It means
"jurisdiction." Satan offered Jesus jurisdiction over the systems of the world. He offered him political, economic, military and social jurisdiction. The interesting thing to me is that Jesus never disputed the statement. Jesus knew it was true. Jesus knew that it was Satan's to offer....for the time being. Jesus simply refused the offer.
Satan has jurisdiction over the earth for the time being. God's authority is plenary and eternal. But Satan has temporary authority over the nations of the world. Ephesians 2:2 calls him
"the ruler of the kingdom of the air" (NIV) or the
"prince of the power of the air ." (KJV) And Satan gives out his authority to men who will work on his behalf to corrupt humanity and oppose God's redemptive work in Christ Jesus.
"Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against his Anointed One." Psalms 2:1,2
The nations, peoples, kings and rulers of this world are scheming against God. Progressively the systems of the world have been corrupted and controlled by the prince of the power of the air. In order for the enemy to continue this process of corruption and control he must at times engage in deception along the way so that people and nations will relinquish God given control. Satan did this to Adam. And he has done this to the United States along the way. I believe that America once had the majority of its roots in God. Read
The Light and The Glory by Peter Marshall and you will see this. Not all of our roots (The slave trade), but many of our roots where in God at one time. But not anymore. Many or most of them have been pulled up and replaced as we have abdicated God given jurisdiction that at one time trumped the devil's authority.
America is no longer the country that we want to believe that it is. America is not truly like what is being presented by most of our politicians and most of the main-stream media. Most everything we are seeing with regards to economics, politics (foreign and domestic), media and social issues, is actually a deceptive spin on what is really happening. Everything we are seeing at this point are in fact shadows, not the reality of things themselves. Consider the following verse:
"These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ." Colossians 2:17
Shadows are a reflection of something else that is real. The shadows are not real. They are not reality. We see types and shadows in God's kingdom and in the fallen world itself. God's intentions, through the types and shadows found in the Old Covenant, were for our redemption and holiness through the reality of Christ Jesus. Satan's intentions, through the shadows he creates in the systems of the world, are for our deception and destruction. Satan has created shadows just as God has. Let me explain what I mean.

| The Federal Reserve Bank |
As previously noted, Satan has the controlling shares of the levers of governments, economies, media, militaries and social movements. He progressively influences and controls these venues as God allows and/or as man abdicates his God-given dominion over these sectors of society. I think there is one main institution among many in our country that can be easily researched and discovered to be satanically inspired.
That institution is the Federal Reserve Bank. All other aspects of satanic corruption and deceit in society work out from there IMHO. The Federal Reserve Bank is the epitome of unjust and dishonest trade. This was Satan's original sin.
"You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz and emerald...You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones. You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, O guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones. Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings. By your many sins and dishonest trade you have desecrated your sanctuaries." Ezekiel 28:13-18
This prophecy by Ezekiel in chapter 28, although on the surface is a condemnation of the King of Tyre, evolves into condemnation of Satan himself, who apparently was possessing the King of Tyre. Satan was in Eden, and although anointed with wisdom and full of beauty, became
violent through corrupt trade. And he was driven from the mount of God because of it. Notice that the prophecy mentions
trade twice. The Hebrew word used here is
Rekullah. It means "trading" or "merchandising." It comes from the Hebrew word
Rakal which means "a traveling merchant." Satan's sins began with corrupt trading and business.
The citizens of the United States have been fighting against and suffering from the efforts of central bankers as far back as the days preceding the the Revolutionary War (1776-1783). Benjamin Franklin stated himself that this was the case (see right). From that period all the way to our present day, the international banking elite have been operating in corrupt widespread
trade (
Rekullah) and it has slowly killed off our sovereignty. In 1832, U.S. President Andrew Jackson's re-election campaign slogan was, "
JACKSON and NO BANK." "
NO BANK" is a direct reference to the resistance of central bankers and their European counterparts, specifically in England and France. In 1835 Jackson actually paid the last installment on the national debt that had been foolishly incurred by allowing banks to issue currency in exchange for government bonds. In taking his stand against incurring further National Debt from Central Bankers, an attempt to assassinate Jackson was conducted by
Richard Lawrence two weeks after the debt was paid back. Lawrence later admitted he did so at the behest of "wealthy Europeans."
During 1961 Abraham Lincoln was faced with the enormous task of confronting the cessation of the southern States. In need of money to finance the Northern campaign in the war, Lincoln and his secretary of Treasury Solomon P. Chase went to private bankers in the US to see what the cost of funding would be. They offered Lincoln loans at 24% to 36% interest. Lincoln refused the offer. He subsequently sought counsel with a trusted colleague, Colonel Dick Taylor of Chicago. Taylor advised Lincoln to spur Congress to pass a bill using it's Constitutional rights to print treasury notes without interest to pay for the war. Congress did so and in turn kept the government out of debt and out of the temporary reach of the bankers once more.
See here for details.
In 1862 and 1863 Congress printed the $450 million in interest-free "Green Backs" and saved the Union. The London Times condemned the US Congressional action and called it a threat to not only Britain but every monarchy around the globe. Their article went on to say that the US financial system must be destroyed. After Lincoln's assassination,
Otto Van Bismarck, the great Prussian Prime Minister and 1st Chancellor of the newly United Germany, knew Lincoln had been done in at the hands of powerful banking interests. He later made the following statement:
"The death of Lincoln was a disaster for Christendom. I fear that the bankers with their craftiness and torturous tricks, will entirely control the exuberant riches of America, and use it systematically to corrupt modern civilization. They will not hesitate to plunge the whole world of Christendom into wars and chaos in order that the earth should become their inheritance."

| J.P. Morgan |
In the years after Lincoln's death it appears that the nation and it's growing companies continued to slip into the control of powerful banking interests with roots in Europe. By 1907 the four most powerful banking families in America were the Rockefellers, the Warburgs, the Rothschilds and the Morgans. J.P. Morgan was a very powerful banking financier from Connecticut who was increasingly consolidating US banking interests and various industries like steel companies under his control.
In October of 1907, J. P. Morgan created a disinformation campaign by circulating rumors that a large New York Bank was insolvent (bankrupt). This created mass panic in the public with depositors and a run on the banks ensued as a result. Many banks were forced to call in their loans. This led to many personal bankruptcies as well as foreclosures by many Americans. This covertly contrived instability in the financial markets was the pretext that the Big 4 banking families needed in order to create fear in Congress and the voting public in general and get them to accept the need for a new U.S. private central bank to control the money supply and bring back perceived "stability" in the markets. The plan eventually worked on behalf of the bankers.
In 1910 the aforementioned bankers held their infamous meeting on Jekyll Island off of the coast of Brunswick, Georgia. It was there that legislation was drafted, not by U.S. Congressional members, but by the bankers themselves for a proposed US Central Bank. These same men used their frontman in Congress, Senator Nelson Aldrich, to formally propose the bill on their behalf. Aldrich, himself a member of the Rockefeller family through marriage, introduced into Congress supposedly "his" version of the Federal Reserve Act. Although Aldrich left the Senate in 1911, Senator Robert Owen continued to run with the legislation on behalf of the bankers and in May of 1913 he introduced what we know today as the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. The bill, having just barely made it through Congress, was quickly signed into law by the
banker-backed Democratic President Woodrow Wilson. The money-changers had officially taken over the levers of power in the U.S. Government.
"Give me control of a nation's money supply and I care not who writes it's laws." Mayer Amschel Rothschild
In regards to his willingness to sign the Federal Reserve Act, President Woodrow Wilson was later quoted as saying the following:
"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world. No longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." -
Woodrow Wilson
Now remember, this piece of legislation was supposed to bring stability to our financial markets, stability to our national currency and help maintain it's value and purchasing power within our borders and around the globe. Let's just see how the bankers did from 1913 on. Remember, this was going to be a good thing....Right???
1914-1920 - In the first six full years of it's existence the Federal Reserve Bank (The Fed) had increased the money supply by 100%. Then suddenly in 1920, the FED called in huge percentages of the US money supply. Member banks (banks that borrow from the FED) called in their loans from common everyday people. This led to a massive # of bankruptcies. The total number of small banks that failed was 5,400. And to top it all off the value of the U.S. Dollar was literally cut in half.
In six short years it cost twice as many dollars to buy something as before the time when the FED was created. WOW! In response to this Senator Charles Lindbergh stated:
"Under the Federal Reserve Act, panics are scientifically created. The Present Panic is the first scientifically created one, worked out as we figure a mathematical equation." Senator Charles Lindbergh
Do you think maybe the good Senator understood that the "bankers" were doing this on purpose to concentrate the nations wealth in the hands of a few men? Do you? How is the FED doing so far? Let's look at the next leg of time.
1921-1929 - The FED increased the money supply by another 62% by making loans to the public via member banks. They also introduced what was called "
Margin Loans." A Margin Loan was a loan that allowed a stock investor to have ten to one leverage on all stock investments. That's 10:1. The Catch......A Margin Loan could be called in at a moment's notice by the issuing bank and had to be legally paid back within 24 hours. No Exceptions! This is called a
Margin Call. In order to pay back a Margin Call Loan the borrower would usually sell off the stock they had purchased with the loan itself.
After helping to fuel the Roaring 20's with Margin Loans, the large New York based financiers called in the Margin Loans in 1929,
but not before the Rockefellers quietly exited their large positions in the stock markets. This is called "Insider Trading."
It's Illegal.
So the banks call in their Margin Loans in 1929. This triggered massive bank runs and over 16,000 banks collapsed in the US in one year. Black Tuesday ensued on October 29, 1929 and the Dow Jones subsequently lost over 40% of its value over the next 3 years.
The Crash of 1929 was under way. It took another 34 years for the Dow just to recover to its pre-1929 levels. This downturn also enabled the controlling investors in the FED to enter back into the Markets and buy up rival banks and large companies at pennies on the dollar.
So how is the privately controlled, privately owned FED doing so far? Or better yet,
what are they doing? Not just "how" but "what?" Remember what we just qouted Senator Charles Lindbergh as saying:
"Panics are scientifically created...worked out as we figure a mathematical equation."
While all of this is going on most Democrats and Republicans are quietly sitting by watching it happen. Then to top it all off, the FED contracted the money supply to increase unemployment and fuel the depression even worse. In response to all of this Congressman Louis McFadden demanded impeachment of the Fed Reserve Board. Afterwards he endured two failed assassination attempts. He was then subsequently poisoned at a banquet and died. This is what happens to men who speak out. They die. Then to top this whole fiasco off.....
1933 - By 1933 the value of the dollar had actually regained 30% of it's original value. Do you know why? Simple. We were still on the Gold Standard. Well, leave it to the FED to do something about that. The Federal Reserve Bankers demanded that Franklin D. Roosevelt, their FDR, issue Executive Order 6102 on April 3, 1933 demanding seizure of all gold in the United States. This enabled the FED bankers to fully manipulate downward the value of the US Dollar at any time without restraint. The result.....The US Dollar again went into a steady decline and has been ever since. By 1971 the US Dollar was only worth .24 cents of its original value in 1912. In less than 60 years the value of the dollar lost over 75% of it's value. Is the FED doing a good job? I don't think so. The value of the U.S. Dollar today is worth 4.5% of what it was in 1913. In almost 100 years the US dollar has lost 95% of it's value. Look at the chart I posted to the right.
Let me ask you this question. How do you know that an apple tree is an apple tree? Simple. It's grows apples. And if it's a good apple tree it grows good apples. Bad apple trees grow bad apples. Simple as that.
"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them.....Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit....Thus by their fruit you will recognize them." Matthew 7:15-17,20
What kind of fruit has the FED born? The Morgans, Rockefellers......? What kind of fruit? Are you mad yet? Let's move on.
1963 - On June 4th, 1963, one last attempt was made to strip the FED of it's power. President John F. Kennedy issued his little known Executive Order No. 11110. This in effect restored the power to issue currency to the U.S. Government just as Lincoln had chosen for the nation in his time. Silver certificates were issued against all silver bullion in the Treasury. Kennedy put $4.3 billion worth of new U.S. notes into circulation. Unlike the FED notes, the new notes were backed by silver. The FED's notes are not backed by anything. They are Fiat money.
The result....President Kennedy was assassinated just 5 months later. You oppose the FED and you get killed or at least they attempt to kill you. First President Andrew Jackson. Then President Abraham Lincoln. Then Congressman Louis McFadden. Then President John F. Kennedy. Remember, violence and corrupt trade go hand in hand.
"Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned." Ezekiel 28:16
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy...." John 10:10
"The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And he said to him, 'I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to." Luke 4:5,6
"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." Woodrow Wilson , September 4, 1912.
The Fed is a private bank. It is owned by private stockholders. It is not a government institution. It is not ruled by our government. It rules our government. It steals, kills and destroys because it gets it's power and authority from the one who Jesus said ultimately steals, kills and destroys. The Fed is ruled and run by the enemy himself. And the enemy, through the FED, is taking our currency down to a value of zero. He is completely bankrupting our country. Total insolvency. Total.
The Federal Reserve Bank is a shadow of a greater force working behind the scenes. The FED is a shadow, not the reality itself. The Fed is killing America to help prepare the world for a New World Order. Novus Ordo Seclorum. The New Order of the Ages.
More to come. We will get into some Macroeconomics next....if I don't feel led to talk about the CIA. We'll see. Folks, pay attention because we are going to eventually give all of this a greater context in light of scripture and talk about how the Lord wants us to respond. This applies to all of us and it is about what the Lord wants for us, our spouses and our children. This affects all of us.
God Bless,

P.S. Sorry it took me a whole week to do another post. I realized after I started putting this together that I actually had to brush up on my past research. I was a little rusty and actually had to work more than I thought I would have to. Thank you for your patience.
