The Eagle Has Fallen part 1

 

JEREMIAH 50 and 51 : A TALE OF TWO CITIES
Babylon and Jerusalem

History verifies the Book of Jeremiah --July 23, 2007
"According to some experts, that proves that whoever wrote Jeremiah wasn't making it up. The logical assumption," he contends, "is that Jeremiah wasn't written by a later writer, but a person writing at the time. I don't know why a later writer trying to create a legendary basis for [a later Jewish regime] would want to make reference to a third-ranked Babylonian clerk. This argues that the document is accurate in its references to the world around it."

In the
Book of Jeremiah Chapters 50 and Chapter 51,
we see that
the destiny of Babylon is intrinsically linked with the destiny of Jerusalem.
(It is not hard to see that America has all the ear-marks of being "Babylon".)
The
alternating choruses in these two Chapters of Jeremiah show that what we have done unto her, HE shall do unto us.

The coming assaults prophesied upon our nation are two-fold in time.
Some will occur very soon (mid-Trib, which is now).
WW 3 at mid-trib
And some will occur at END-Trib,
( 3 1/2 years later) which is discussed in
section two of "The Eagle has Fallen".

Let us take a close look at the prophecies of Jeremiah Chapters 50 and 51 concerning
"Babylon"..."the hindermost of nations"... the last great nation in history.
(Jer. 50:12).
Let us examine the reports of an imminent attack.

1. NORTH KOREAN THREAT
AMERICA ATTACKED BY A SINGLE NATION
possible timing: now-soon....just before the Great Tribulation
www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/ch3p1.html ....... see also 7 Thunders www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/7thunders.html

North Korea has Nuclear Bombs
The North Koreans initially denied the allegation, but then admitted it the following day, U.S. officials said. President Bush denounced North Korea earlier this year as part of an “axis of evil,” saying it sponsored terrorism. Through a White House spokesman, Bush on Thursday described North Korea’s admission that it was running a secretive nuclear weapons program “troubling and sobering news.”
 China is North Korea’s neighbor and final remaining major communist ally, although Beijing’s push toward a more open economy in recent years has illustrated the cultural and economic divides between the two countries.

Jeremiah 50:3...."Babylon"- USA struck from a SINGLE nation
It appears from
Jer. 50:3 that a strike is made against "Babylon"-USA just prior to the Great Tribulation..

"For out of the
north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast".
Since "
a nation" is a solitary nation, we must conclude that this strike from the north is not the strike of the Russian-Confederated nations. This strike is from a single solitary nation...a nation such as NORTH Korea.

We know that this preemptive missile strike occurs just before the Great Tribulation, for in the verse immediately following (Jer. 50:4) it speaks of Jews leaving the country for Isreal.
So even though this missile strike is debilitating, it is not totally crushing.
There will be time for people to escape the greater judgements befalling our land.

CONFIRMING REPORT:
"Long-range" missiles mean: USA is the target
"This follows a CIA report last week that warned North Korea could "potentially kill tens of thousands or
millions of Americans" with its ballistic missiles armed with chemical, biological or nuclear weapons.
underlining this editor
"The Taepodong 2 is a three stage intercontinental missile that could reach targets
in the western U.S."......."Seattle, Honolulu or Anchorage."

The first attack appears to be one city in particular.

Please see JR Nyquist Forum on how America is the real target when Russia invades the Mideast.
Forum http://www.jrnyquist.com/disc10_tocf.htm
Will Russia have NORTH Korea take care of Israel's ally ??? Time will tell.

Russia and NORTH Korea forge military pact
http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2001/4/27/193941.shtml

Jeremiah 51:1
"Thus saith the LORD:
Behold I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against Me,
a destroying wind."
( Ed: possible meaning: a toxic wind of biological-chemical warfare
)
These missiles most likely will carry chemical / biological warheads. If a "destroying wind" fans these toxic clouds from the West Coast to the East Coast, (path of the jet-stream) then mega deaths will occur.

For more on biological-chemical attacks, please see:
Anthrax in America?

Preparing for Biological Terrorism
http://www.worldtribune.com/Archive-2000/ss-terror-12-06.html
We are threatened with VX gas, sarin, mustard gas etc. etc. etc.
www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/bcterror.html

Here is what
Revelation 7:1 says about such a wind:
"And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.....
"saying, 'Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads."
and there were sealed 144,000 of all the tribes of the children of Israel."Rev. 7:1--3
The sealing of the 144,000 places the timing of this toxic-wind at mid-Trib (now-soon).

MORE CONFIRMING REPORTS:

Feb. 22, 2001 ....North Korea to test
LONG-Range Missiles (Taepo Dong 2)
(capable of hitting the United States)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/asia-pacific/newsid_1183000/1183626.stm

North Korean Missiles to Alaska and West Coast
We expect [North Korea's] Taepo Dong 2 [ICBM] will be flight tested this year, unless delayed for political reasons….A two-stage Taepo Dong-2 could deliver a several-hundred kilogram payload to Alaska and Hawaii, and a lighter payload to the western half of the United States. A three-stage Taepo Dong-2 could deliver a several-hundred kilogram payload anywhere in the United States."
http://www.cdiss.org/99sept30.htm

Taepo Dong 2: "able to hit
anywhere among the U-S 50 states.
This missile could reach major cities and military bases in Alaska and the smaller, westernmost islands in the Hawaiian chain. Light-weight variations of the TD-2 could fly as far as
10,000 km, placing at risk western U.S. territory in an arc extending northwest from Phoenix, Arizona, to Madison, Wisconsin.
http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/dprk/missile/td-2.htm

US incapable of stopping ICBMs---Nov 1, 2002
Kadish is in charge of a program that would station five prototypes of an anti-missile missile in Alaska within two years.
But for now, the U.S. has no defense against the ICBMs.
At a breakfast with defense writers, Kadish said the U.S. might consider a first strike to destroy the long-range threat if the North Koreans went ahead with flight tests.
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/wn_report/story/31849p-30212c.html

Who Is "Koa" of Ezek. 23:23 "Korea"??? (North Korea)?
Let us keep in mind that the attack from North Korea is just prior to the Great-Trib,and that it is limited in devastation.
America's final devastation takes place at the END of the Great Tribulation
(discussed in section two).

But North Korea is not the only one coming against us just prior to the 3 1/2 years of the Great Trib.
The following blow ushers in "The Day of the Lord"... still prior to the Great Tribulation , but barely.


2. THE RUSSIAN THREAT

TWO DIFFERENT TIMES
It appears from Scripture that Russia attacks the U.S. in a
limited way ( our troops ? ) at
Mid-trib (just prior to the Great-Tribulation.)
This attack, we feel, ushers in "The Day of the Lord".
( Rev. 6:12-17, Zephaniah, Rev. 14:8 and Rev. 18 )

And then she strikes again ( 3 1/2 years later at
END Trib ) in concert with other nations for a total all-out devastation of "Great Babylon", meaning the entire nation. (Jeremiah 50:9 through end of Jeremiah 51)

FIRST ATTACK : IN ONE HOUR
REVELATION CHAPTER 18

"
Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues Revelation 18:4.............

"her plagues come in
ONE DAY:
"Death, and Mourning, and Famine...
And she shall be utterly burned with Fire:
For strong is the Lord God who judgeth her."
Rev. 18:8

"Alas, alas, that great city Babylon (New York City ?), that mighty city!
For in
ONE HOUR is thy judgement come." Rev. 18:10

"For in
ONE HOUR so great riches is come to naught." Rev. 18:17
(Stock Market Crash ?)
"And as many as trade by sea (merchants) stood afar off,
And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying,
What city is like unto this great city"?

"For in
ONE HOUR is she made desolate." Rev. 18:19

"And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee...
and thou shalt find them no more at all."
Rev. 18:14

The Dirge continues, and finally ends with,
"for by thy
SORCERIES [astrologies, witchcraft, horoscopes, psychics etc.]
were all nations deceived."
"And in her was found
the blood of the prophets, and of the saints,
And of ALL THAT WERE SLAIN UPON THE EARTH [Rev. 18:23,24)

How Incomprehensible! Can it be so ? The following articles say yes.

WHY WE ARE ATTACKED..... REVELATION 17

In Revelation Chapter 17, "Babylon" is described as a harlot arrayed in purple
(all-inclusive
politics) and scarlet (harlotry, compromising religions...UR..
see Apostasy and "Religion vs. Relationship" www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/religion.html .

This political, religious, economic mix practices her diabolical
control through commerce,
(business)
trade (WTO) , and consumerism (all buying and selling...groceries etc.), and eventually requiring the 666 mark-of the beast system for survival. . www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/ch1p1.html

This adulterating-partnership (politics-religion-business) is motivated by greed and power. This System will compromise, kill, exploit, wheel and deal:
"...having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:"
and upon her forehead was a name written,
Mystery Babylon the Great, the MOTHER OF HARLOTS
and Abominations of the Earth."
(Rev. 17:4,5) Something to think about.

"And I saw the woman
drunken with the blood of the saints"...
The many deaths of innocent people occur behind the scenes many times, and go unreported...especially in the developing world. But they are the product of economic concerns...the plots of the 10 and the 7 (mentioned in
Chapter Two and Rev. 17:7).
These Money-Masters manipulate trade, peoples and countries and are totally Machiavellian, justifying any means for their greedy ends. (cruel pragmatism, cold, expedient and arbitrary)

The adulterating whore is also drunk "with the blood of
the martyrs of Jesus".
Rev.17:6. This most likely refers to the Capital Punishment coming to all true Believers who refuse the 666 chip implant and who refuse to worship the beast, antichrist.
The False Prophet is the enforcer of executions.
Merely owning an Authorized KJV Bible will probably become a Capital Offense.

Where is the headquarters of this politically-correct System?
Where the UN and the Stock Market and the World Trade Center and the giant Media-Corporations (ABC, NBC, CBS ) are located..."that great city which reigneth over the kings of the earth."
(Rev. 17: 18). Yes. New York City.

But her day is coming. The stock market will come tumbling down, and Gold will be worthless in a cashless society.
James 5: 1-6
Our
American Dollar will not hold sway w.ninehundred.net/~jveon/95NEWS.html
on the World Markets anymore. You can count on that.
[Ever wonder why the Euro is electronic only? Because rather than be turned into currency, all systems will go cashless....no need to bother]

For more information on the coming crash please see:
The McAlvany Intelligence Advisor Network
www.mcalvany.com

Revelation Chapter 17
goes on to mention all the fineries of world trade.
Even with a Vatican Observer at the WTO, "Babylon" traffiks not only in luxuries, but also in "slaves,
Slavery w.chanel1.com/AASG/worldwide_index.html
"and the souls of men" (drugs, bartering in "escorts", child-labor exploitation).
Prison labor:
http://home.earthlink.net/~neoludd/armed.htm

And deplorably our Working Sector---due to global parity--- will become more and more like labor camps everyday, with longer hours, less wages and no hope; changing shifts and 7 day work weeks.....death by "
karoshi"[overwork].
There is nothing that "Babylon" wouldn’t exploit... expedient and greedy that she is.


MERODACH....CULTURE OF DEATH

"Publish and conceal not: say,'
'Babylon is taken. Bel (god of War) is confounded.
(we---America--- are the world's largest exporter of armaments)
Merodach (god of death and slaughter) is broken in pieces"
Jeremiah 50:2

It is interesting to note that "Merodach" is mentioned only once in the Bible (here).
Merodach is the god of death and slaughter, or as Pope John Paul 2 says,
"the culture of death".

Babylon America definitely has a culture of death in her obsession with,
abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality ( no fruit from relationship); her obsession and worship of death in acid rock music, in drugs, alcohol and smoking. All of these things glorify and hasten death.
Our Slaughter of the Innocents (abortion) far exceeds the Holocaust of the Nazis.
Euthanasia is considered a "right". Suicide is easily rationalized for the individual, and excused in conversation.
Murder is the obsession of Video games and television.
[Catalyst in the Columbine high school massacre].
We don't need gun legislation.....we need
heart regeneration [Ezek. 36:26] through a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

POPULATION CONTROL....Planning the death of others
See:
Special Child

Population Control's expediency is motivated by a Utopian society of "perfect people".
The elitists who perpetrate this sanitized DNA won't be able to participate in this new society themselves, for they are far from "perfect". Their concept of "zero tolerance" is a world without mercy or compassion.
As the song says,
"I don't want to live in a world without love."
Please see
The Population Control Agenda.....Parts 1 and 2 :
www.khouse.org/articles/political/19970901-93.html
and
www.khouse.org/articles/political/19971001-92.html
by Dr. Stan Monteith and Gene Gillfoil

This population control agenda realizes that WAR is on the horizon. Yet America remains one of the few nations without bomb shelters. Why ? In order to have more death and destruction ?

Who has the courage to remind people that the Author of Life is being sinned against?
"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you Life
and death, blessing and cursing:
THEREFORE CHOOSE LIFE,
that both thou and thy seed may live."
Deuteronomy 30:19,20

"Babylon" has willfully turned against the Living God
Jeremiah 2.


NOT ONLY WAR, BUT ALSO DROUGHT AS JUDGEMENT

"Ye destroyers of Mine Heritage (Israel)...ye are grown fat as the heifer."
(Jer. 50:11)
"(you) shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and
a desert"Jer. 50:12;
[
Isaiah 21:1-10 " the desert of the sea"]
"Her foundations (once Godly, like the Constitution) are fallen "
(Jer. 50:15)
Jeremiah continues:

Meriathaim and Pekod .... Canada and Mexico ??
" Go up against the land of Meriathaim, even against it , and against the inhabitants of Pekod " (
Jer. 50: 21 )
Are "Meriathaim" and "Pekod" additional territories to "Babylon" ? ... like say, Canada and Mexico ?

July 2007 -- EU highway too
In a month, August 20 and 21, the leaders of the United States, Canada, and Mexico will sit down together in Montebello, Quebec to discuss making
the borders between these three nations disappear. They will discuss progress on a vast highway project passing through America to link
Mexico with Canada.

[ Ed: The NAFTA Suprhighway : the main transport of the EU.
Will NATO tanks --arriving via the Gulf of Mexico, docking in Texas -- eventually drive through .. dividing the land and conquering ?? Time will. tell. ]
]Turns out that Texas had already signed a 50-year lease with a private Spanish company named Cintra, one that permits for no competition by way
of building new government roads or improving existing ones going in the same direction

As this is written, the President and the Congress have the lowest popularity ratings ever. Perhaps it has something to do with a secretive process involving
the highest levels of government and a consortium of multinational corporations who are eager for the nation-busting North American Union and the
superhighway?

WHY ARE WE SO JUDGED ??

EZEKIEL 16: 49, 50
"Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom,
1. PRIDE
2. FULLNESS OF BREAD
3. AND ABUNDANCE OF IDLENESS .......was in her and in her daughters
4. Neither did she strengthen the hand of THE POOR and NEEDY."

("to strengthen the hand" means to help one become productive in their capacity.
There are times when people are wholly dependent upon charity for a season.
It is at that time that we should help in whatever way we can.
"There but for the grace of God go I".
(Some disabled people are dependent for a lifetime).

Most people become independent when given a choice. We should help them do so.
We ought never to inculcate a system of dependency, for able bodied men.
"Faith-based" is a system whereby church-organizations become dependent on government subsidies (grants with regulations).

Mothers ought not to work outside the home while raising children.
Assistance should be given her.

"it were better if a millstone be hung around the neck and such be thrown into the deep" for stealing the innocence of our youth.)
Matthew. 18:6; Mark. 9:42;Luke. 17:2.

Will Mexico share in the American enterprise ? May 26, 2006
[ Quoting V. Fox ] "must expand economic growth so migration from his country is no longer a necessity."
Before California lawmakers, he noted the economic ties between Mexico and the U.S. and stressed the need for continued investment in the Mexican economy.
"Over the years, we have moved away from a notion of distant neighbors to one of strategic partners," he said. "We have pursued this course with the firm conviction that a legal, safe, orderly migration policy with full respect to human rights and labor rights will benefit the security and prosperity of both of our nations."

"I think that rather than wasting our time and his time trying to tell us what to do and how to do it, I think he should go back to his country, fix his economy and stop sending his social problems to the United States," said Assemblyman Ray Haynes, R-Murrieta.

Fox, however, struck a cooperative tone in his speech, saying the destinies of both countries were linked despite the challenges posed by illegal immigration.
"Let us work together as neighbors, as friends, as family," he said.
It was the California Legislature's first joint session other than annual speeches by the governor and chief justice since Spain's former prime minister, Jose Maria Aznar, spoke to lawmakers in 2003.
