This whole matter of Israel's rebellion against RIGHT WAYS, of God's
driving them out, divorcing them, withholding the bestowal of the
birthright for 2520 years--and of Israel's redemption after the three
additional sevenfold more intense corrective punishments--is
summarized by the prophet Hosea.
But Hosea also becomes very concise, direct, and specific in
detailing Britain-America's national ATTITUDE right now!
To picture this whole course of infidelity, rejection, withholding
of blessing, extreme correction, and final awakening of Israel, God
directed the prophet to marry a whore--to picture what Israel was to
God. She bore him a son. God instructed Hosea to name the son
Jezreel; meaning "God will disperse." For God said, "...I will... cause
to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel....I will break the bow of
Israel in the valley of Jezreel" (Hos. 1:4-5). The kingdom--the
government--did cease at the Assyrian captivity--721-718 B.C.
Hosea's harlot wife conceived again, and bore a daughter. God
instructed that she be named "Lo-ruhamah," meaning "no mercy"
for, saith God, "...I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel;
but I will utterly take them away" (verse 6).
Later this lewd wife had another son. "Call his name," saith God,
"Lo-ammi [meaning "not my people"]: for ye are not my people, and
I will not be your God" (verse 9).
............Yet To Find The True Riches
"Yet," continued the Eternal, "the number of the children of Israel
shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor
numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was
said unto them, YE are the sons of the living God. Then shall the
children of Judah [the Jews] and the children of Israel ["Lost Ten
Tribes"] be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and
they shall come up out of the land [spread out far beyond their land
--Moffatt translation]: for great shall be the day of Jezreel" (Hosea
1:10-11......
There, in brief, is a picture of the whole course of God's dealing
with Israel. Today, our people say they are NOT "Israel." That is,
NOT God's people! They think that the Jews, and the Jews only, are
Israel. But very soon, now, they are going to KNOW their identity.
Thousands will learn it from this very article you are now reading.
The MILLIONS will learn it at Christ's coming!
In Hosea 2, God says, in regard to our now having possessed the
unprecedented WEALTH of the birthright promise:"For she did not
know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and MULTIPLIED her
silver and gold, which they prepared for baal. Therefore will I return,
and TAKE AWAY my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the
season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover
her nakedness [her SIN]" (verses 8-9).
But finally, when the correction becomes INTENSE enough, our
peoples will acknowledge their transgressions, WILL REPENT, WILL
SEEK THEIR GOD!
...........................GOD'S People--At Last!
"And it shall be at that day, saith the Eternal, that thou shalt call me
Ishi ["MY HUSBAND"]; nd shalt call me no more Baali ["MY LORD"]"
(verse 16)..
"And," concludes this second chapter, "I will have mercy upon
her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not mypeople,
Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art MY GOD""
(verse 23)..
Then begins GOD'S MESSAGE TO OUR PEOPLES TODAY--
especially to the British peoples!
"Hear the word of the Eternal, ye children of Israel [you people
of the British Commonwealth and the United states!]:for the Eternal
hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is
no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. By swearing,
and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they
break out, and blood toucheth blood. Therefore shall the land [of
America and Britain] mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein
shall languish..." (Hosea 4:1-3)......
To the modern ministers in the churches of Britain and
America, God says: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:
because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that
thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of
thy God, I will also forget thy children. As they were increased, so
they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into
shame" (verses 6-7)..
Speaking of the coming manyfold INTENSITY of corrective
PUNISHMENT God says, ". In their affliction they will seek me
early" (Hos. 5:15).
.................C O N T I N U E T O . . .
........................IN
...................TRIBULATION!
Once God does add these repeated SEVENFOLD-INTENSITY of
corrective punishments on our peoples--when they have had their
wealth , prosperity, their land--the birthright and everything they
possessed and set their hearts on TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM--AT
LAST they will be humbled and will cry out to God for mercy and
deliverance!.....
Right now God's WARNING MESSAGE of this terrifying greatest
trouble of history is being THUNDERED on the FREELIGION web site
into ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD--as a witness! Multiple millions will
have the opportunity to read it here absolutely free of charge!
We know only too well that the people as a whole will not heed!
We are grateful that God is laying it on the hearts of a few thousand
every year to LISTEN (hearken--to use biblical Authorized Version
Language) and to take it seriously--to REPENT and come to God
through Jesus Christ as Savior.
Yes, a few thousand every year--thousands PRECIOUS beyond
estimate! But NOT the people as a whole. Not NOW!
We know full well that the real HARVEST of our labors in GOD'S
WORK, preparing the way for Christ's coming, is NOT NOW! But
when everything these peoples have has been taken from them--when
they are slaves in foreign lands--when they are cruelly treated,
beaten, unmercifully even martyred and put to death--THEN
millions of those who remain alive WILL cry out to God--WILL
repent --WILL turn to live GOD'S WAY. That is when the REAL
HARVEST FROM THIS PRESENT WORK OF GOD will be reaped.
Many, then, will remember they read about Christ's TRUE
message on the FREELIGION blog.
Then they will say: "That was the true message sent by GOD
after all!" Many will take it lightly now--just as Israelites of old took
God's message to them through His prophets. But when these things
really HAPPEN--when people realize NO ONE ELSE warned them--
then they will KNOW which is God's truth!
The pitiful, pitiful tragedy of it! This realization will come TOO
LATE to save the many from this repeated sevenfold punishment!
But, for millions, not too late for their salvation--for God's GIFT of
ETERNAL LIFE!
.............Millions Finally Converted!
Notice the prophecies of this very thing! Return for a moment to
Jeremiah's prophecy. The 30th chapter, from which I quoted, ends
with these words: "...In the latter days ye shall consider it. " The
prophecy is for OUR TIME, now!
Read right on in chapter 31:
"At the same time, saith the Eternal, will I be the God of all the
families of Israel, and they shall be my people. Thus saith the eternal,
The people which were left of the sword [those still then alive] found
grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when he went to find him rest"
(marginal rendering). Or , as in the RSV, "...when Israel sought for
rest, the Eternal appeared to him from afar. " Or as in the Moffatt translation:" Those who survive the sword shall find grace in the
dungeon." That is, in captivity and in slavery!
Continue, "Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O
virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and
shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry. They shall
come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will
cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way [God's
law!], wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and
Ephraim is my first born [birthright-holder]. Hear the work of the
Eternal, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, he
that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd
doth his flock" (Jer. 31:4, 9-10).
Later Jeremiah was inspired to write: "In those days, and in that
time, saith the Eternal, the children of Israel shall come, they and
the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and
seek the Eternal their God.
They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying,
Come, and let us join ourselves to the Eternal in a perpetual covenant
[the NEW COVENANT] THAT SHALL NOT BE FORGOTTEN. MY
PEOPLE HATH BEEN LOST SHEEP: their shepherds [professing
Christian ministers] have caused them to go astray... " ( Jer 5o:4-6).
Later in this chapter: "In those days, and in that time, saith the
Eternal, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be
none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will
pardon them whom I reserve [leave as a remnant]" (verse 20).
.....................C O N T I N U E T O . . .
.......................... . [ Hosea Summarizes It ]
WHAT IS THE GREAT TRIBULATION ?
Now it becomes painfully clear! The Great Tribulation is this
sevenfold intensity of corrective punishment which God is now soon
going to lay on Britain-America!
Notice a few brief excerpts from Ezekiel's description of it!
"A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with
famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part
shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third
part [the remainder] into all the winds [slavery], and I will draw out
a sword after them. THUS shall MINE ANGER be accomplished, and I
will cause MY FURY [last PLAGUES] to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the Eternal have spoken it in
my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them" *(Ezek.
5:12-13).
Further: "In all your dwelling places the CITIES shall be laid
waste" (Ezek. 6:6), This could never have happened until the
hydrogen bomb! cities laid completely WASTE. All of them--"in all
your dwelling places,"
..............Drought--Famine, First
Now let the prophet Joel add more.
Joel's prophecy was for the far, far future--verses 1-3 of chapter
1. Then he shows a plague of different kinds of locusts, devouring the
fruits and food crops--stripping off bark from fruit trees. "He hath
laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean
bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white" (Joel 1:
7)/.....
Continue--now comes devastating DROUGHT: "the field is
wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is
dried up, the oil languisheth.... because the harvest of the field is
perished....all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is
withered away from the sons of men" (verses 10-12). This is to
happen just prior to the terrible plagues of "the DAY OF THE LORD"
(verses 14-15).
Continue the prophecy: "The seed is rotten under their clods, the
garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is
withered. How do the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed,
because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made
desolate.O LORD,to thee will I cry: for the fire [hot sun] hath burned
all the trees of the field. The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for
the rivers of waters are dried up..." (verses 17-20)
.............Next--MILITARY Invasion
...............................And
.............................DEFEAT!
Next in time order, beginning chapter 2, the alarm of WAR: "Blow ye
the trumpet in Zion [alarm of WAR], and sound an alarm in my holy
mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the DAY
OF THE LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand" (verse 1).
"Therefore also now, saith the Eternal, turn ye even to me with
all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with
mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn
unto the Eternal your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to
anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil"
(verses 12-13).
.....................C O N T I N U E T O . . .
....................... [ At Last! - Repentance In Tribulation! ]
Other prophecies speak of this same time of national calamity
greater than any before. The pivotal New Testament prophecy is that
of Jesus on the Mount of Olives--recorded in Matthew 24, Mark 13,
and Luke 21......
The apostles had asked Jesus privately WHEN His second coming
would occur--and the END of this world and the beginning of the
happy world tomorrow. Jesus said the SIGN by which we might know
when this is very NEAR would be that His original gospel of the
Kingdom of God would be preached in all the world as a witness to all
nations (Matt. 24: 14). But what else--just before His coming?
Jesus continued: "For then shall be GREAT TRIBULATION, such
as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever
shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no
flesh be saved [alive]: but for the elects sake those days shall be
shortened" (Matt. 24:21-22).
Here is described the greatest time of TROUBLE--TRIBULATION
--in all history, or ever to be. Jeremiah described it as "Jacob's
trouble, " so great "that none is like it."
Daniel described the same most severe trouble of all history.
Speaking of a time now in our immediate future, Daniel foretold:
"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince [arch-
angel] which standeth for the children of thy people: and there
shall be a time of TROUBLE, such as never was since there was a
nation even to that same time" (Dan. 12:1).
The same most intense punishment on Britain and America. And
WHEN? Continue, same verse, "...and at that time thy people shall be
delivered [from this enslaved trouble], every one that shall be found
written in the book. And many of them that sleep [are dead] in the
dust of the earth shall awake [RESURRECTION], some to everlasting
life..." (verses 1-2).
The time is just before the RESURRECTION of the just, at Christ's
coming. As Moses delivered the ancient Israelites from Egyptian
slavery, so CHRIST is coming to deliver modern Britain and America
from the now-impending Babylonish slavery. (See Deuteronomy 18:
15;Acts 7:37;Jeremiah 123:5-8).
Jeremiah described it as a "YOKE" on the necks of our peoples.
WHOSE "YOKE" of slavery? Isaiah tells us!
In verse 1 of Isaiah 47 the prophetic message is addressed to the
daughter of Babylon. Not the Babylon of ancient days. Not
Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon of 600 years before Christ--but a
DAUGHTER of that Babylon , now, in our twentieth century. In
prophecy a woman, or a daughter, means a CHURCH a religious
organization......
This particular "lady" of this prophecy is pictured as a lewd
harlot and "a lady of kingdoms." that is, a great CHURCH ruling over
nations. This same modern "female" Babylon is pictured also in the
17th chapter of revelation--there called a "great whore," sitting on or
ruling over "many waters," which are interpreted in verse 15 as
"peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues." Her name is
there given as "mystery, Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth. "In other words, the Babylonian mystery religion-the same religion of the ancient Babylon--but now grown
GREAT and ruling over many nations of different languages.
Her KINGDOMS over which she ruled were called "The Holy
Roman Empire" of A.D.554 to 1814, briefly revived by Mussolini and
SOON to have a last and final "resurrection" by a political-military
union of ten in Europe (Rev. 17:8-14).
And at the TIME of this "great whore" sitting astride the political-
military "beast," they shall fight in war against the glorified CHRIST
at His second coming (Rev. 17:14).
Now back to Isaiah 47. God says to this mistress of kingdoms: "I
was wroth with my people [Israel--Britain-America], I have polluted
mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand [in tortured
slavery]: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou
very heavily laid thy yoke"(verse 6).
That YOKE of SLAVERY without mercy is to be laid on the U.S.
and Britain by the coming united nations or Europe! It has started
already, through the economic Common Market and the recently
implemented EMS (European Monetary System). Its leaders talk
continually of POLITICAL union which means, also, military. So far
they have been unable to bring about full political union. This will be
made possible by the "good offices" of the Vatican, who alone can be
the symbol of unity to which they can look. Two popes already have
offered their "good offices" toward such union.
The prophecy does not literally say so, but in all probability, by
present indications, the head of this new WORLD POWER will be in
central Europe. And it will precipitate World War III. And this time
it will be allowed to succeed!
Many of the ancient Assyrians migrated NORTHWEST from their
ancient land south of the Caspian Sea -- and settled in central
Europe, just as the House of Israel migrated from the land of their
captivity to the coastlands of northwest Europe. So when you read
about Assyria in prophecies pertaining to NOW, they refer to central
So, history is to repeat! It was ancient Assyria which invaded the
House of Israel, and carried them out of Samaria into the Assyrian's
own land......
And where, today, are the ancient BABYLONIANS--the
Chaldeans? They migrated west and settled in ITALY. Their religion
was the Assyrian-babylonian MYSTERY religion. It is going to come
as a breathtaking, awesome, shocking surprise when the world learns
that one Simon, the sorcerer of Samaria in the time of the original
apostles, leader of the BABYLONIAN MYSTERY religion having the
title of PATER or PETER, meaning PAPA, actually appropriated the
NAME of Christ and the Christian principle of GRACE, which he
turned into LICENSE,doing away with GOD'S LAW (Jude 4) and
started what is today called "Christianity." How astonished the
world will be to discover that it is NOT, and never was, the out-
growth of the CHURCH OF GOD, founded by Jesus Christ and His
apostles!.
This knowledge will soon burst on an incredulous world as a
BOMBSHELL! People will be SHOCKED to learn how they have been
DECEIVED! When God's time comes, the "news-bomb"will be
exploded!
....................C O N T I N U E T O . . .
...............
..........................[ What Is The Great Tribulation? ]
PUNISHMENT ON ALL NATIONS!
It will now be made plain--from God's own warning prophecies--that
this greatest multiplied intensity of corrective punishment will fall on
Britain and America -- including British peoples in Commonwealth
countries. And it will strike them down first!
But they are not the only nations to suffer corrective disaster. God
is Creator of all other nations, too! God is concerned about the people
and races we have called "heathen." They, too, are human. They, too,
are made in God's own likeness, with the potential of being molded
into God's spiritual and character IMAGE! God sent the apostle Paul
to Gentile nations!
All mankind has rebelled against, rejected, and turned from God
and His ways! There can never be peace on earth until all nations will
have been turned to God and His ways, ruled by His supreme
government!.....
All mankind, right now, is caught in the vortex of the swiftly
accelerating crisis marking the utter destruction of this world's man-
built, Satan-inspired civilization.
Through Jeremiah God says:"A noise shall come even to the ends
of the earth; for the Eternal hath a controversy with the nations, he
will plead with all flesh" --how? Right now FREELIGION web site
carries His peaceful pleading world-wide., but the world, except for
scattered individuals, does not heed this kind of "pleading." The next
words tell HOW God is now about to plead: "...He will give them that
are wicked to the sword, saith the Eternal....Behold, EVIL shall go
forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up
from the coasts of the earth " (Jer. 25:31-32)......
God will use a Nazi-Fascist Europe to punish Britain-America.
Then he will use the Communist hordes to wipe out the Roman
Europe.
We are entering a time of world trouble--utter WORLD chaos!
There is war, strife, violence in Asia, Africa, South America--as well
as Europe and North America. The population explosion is a world-
wide threat to human existence. Crime, violence, sickness, disease,
inequality, poverty, filth, squalor, degeneration, suffering--these
infest ALL nations!.....
But, as salvation is given first to Israel, so is corrective
punishment!
.............Our Great Tribulation
Notice Jeremiah's prophecy:
"For thus saith the Eternal; We have heard a voice of trembling, of
fear, and not of peace. Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail
with child? Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins,
as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas!
for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of
Jacob's TROUBLE" (Jer. 30:5-7).
Remember--in passing on the birthright to the two sons of
Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh (Gen. 48:16), Jacob said,"Let MY
NAME be named on them" -- on Ephraim and manasseh--who today
are Britain and America. This tells ON WHOM this most terrible of
national calamities is to fall--on Britain and America!
But now when is it to fall? Do not assume this is referring to
anything that did happen to ancient Israel. Read right now--see
WHEN this prophecy is to be fulfilled!
Continue in Jeremiah 30:7: "...it is even the time of JACOB'S
trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. " (After he has learned his
lesson IN it!) Continuing from RSV, "And it shall come to pass in
that day, says the Eternal of hosts, that I will break the YOKE from
off their neck [yoke of slavery], and I will burst their bonds, and
strangers shall no more make servants of them. But they shall
serve the Eternal their God and David their king, whom I will raise
up for them." (David, at the time of the RESURRECTION--at the
very time of Christ's COMING!).....
So the time is just prior to Christ's COMING--coming to liberate
our peoples--even as Moses liberated ancient Israel from
EGYPTIAN SLAVERY.
