Are there similarities between King Josiah of Judah and
President Trump? First, we will look at Judah before the days of Josiah. We will
start by looking at his father, King Manasseh.
2 Kings 21: 1-9 edited. “Manasseh King of Judah reigned 55 years in Jerusalem. He lived from around 709–643 B.C., about 66+ years. He did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel. He built up the high places where false gods were worshipped, reared up altars to Baal, made a grove as did wicked King Ahab of Israel and worshipped and served all the host of heaven. He built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord. He made his son (usually it was the first born) to pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards. He wrought much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. He set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house of the Lord. Manasseh seduced the nation to do more evil than did the nations whom the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel.”
2 Kings 21:10-15 “The
Lord through the prophets said, Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these
abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, which were
before him, and has made Judah also to sin with his idols: therefore, the Lord
God of Israel says, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah,
that whosoever hears of it, both his ears shall tingle. I will wipe Jerusalem
as a man wipes a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down. I will forsake
the remnant of my inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies.
They shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies. Because they have
done that which was evil in My sight, and have provoked Me to anger, since the
day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.”
2 Kings 21:16 “Moreover,
Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one
end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Jerusalem to sin, in doing
that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.”
In the psalms we read a similar history.
Psalm 106:34-40 “They
did not destroy the (unbelieving and wicked) nations, concerning whom the Lord
commanded them, but were mingled among the (unbelieving and wicked) nations,
and learned their works. And they served their idols: which were a snare unto
them. Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, and shed
innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they
sacrificed unto the idols of Cannan: and the land was polluted with blood. Thus,
were they defiled with their own works, and went a-whoring with their own
inventions. Therefore, was the wrath of the Lord kindled against His people,
insomuch that he abhorred His own inheritance.”
We see the “blood of the poor innocents,” is none other
than the blood of their own sons and daughters whom they have sacrificed to the
god of Mammon, or to Baal, in desiring to have a life of wealth and
success.
Psalm 94:6 “They slay the
widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.”
What child could be more fatherless, than the child
aborted, or sacrificed by its own mother? In the law of Moses, God had warned
them, and He us, against such practices.
Exodus 22:20, 22-24 “He
that sacrifices unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly
destroyed. … You shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. If you
afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto Me, I will surely hear their
cry, and My wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your
wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.”
By Manasseh poor example, he led the culture to practice
iniquity, so much so, that the people followed his example and sacrificed their
own first child in the fires of Molech and Baal.
Psalm 94:20-21
“Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with You (O Lord), (they) which
frame mischief by a law? They gather themselves against the soul of the
righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.”
Isaiah during his prophesying had also exposed the same sins in the northern ten tribes, which were destroyed in 722 BC by the Assyrian forces and Samaria was left desolate. Traditionally, King Manasseh was responsible for Isaiah’s martyrdom. Isaiah was sawn asunder under Manasseh's rule.
Isaiah 10:1-3 “Woe
unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which
they have prescribed; to turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away
the right of the poor of My people, that widows may be their prey, and that
they may rob the fatherless! And what will you do in the day of visitation, and
in the desolation which shall come from far? To whom will you flee for help? And
where will you leave your glory?”
Talking about glory, one of America’s own early
statesmen, Daniel Webster, who was Secretary of State for three of the first
five Presidents, gave a similar warning to America some 180 years ago. “If we
abide by the principles of the Bible our country will go on prospering and to
prosper, but if we, or our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no
man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory
in profound obscurity.”
Do we see the similarities between the last kings of
Judah and the present state of America?
We see, in the final years of Judah, the southern part
of the Israeli kingdom, that King Manasseh led the nation further into evil and
abominable acts which the Lord later says He cannot forgive.
The nation of Judah forsook the true God of Abraham,
Issac, and Jacob, the God of Moses, Samuel, and David, and learned of and
worshipped the gods of the nations that God had commanded them to remove from
the land. Manasseh led Judah into following Baal and into offering their
first-born child to Baal in child sacrifice. The Bible says he filled Jerusalem
with innocent blood. In the psalms, we see that the “innocent blood” refers to
the blood of the poor innocents, their own sons and daughters.
We even see they that made laws to make such acts
legally permissible and condemn the innocent blood. Hitler made similar laws to
make it legal to kill the Jewish people. The Jew was not considered a legal
person. Today we have made the unborn child a non-legal person, allowing the
mother to have it killed through an abortion procedure, or through the taking
of a chemical substance that kills it.
It has just been confirmed the past week that the CIA,
the Mafia, the FBI, and Israel were complicit in the death of John F. Kennedy.
Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr were also eliminated, as were many
others. In the case of JFK, hundreds may have been killed by secret service
operatives in order to keep the narrative that Harvey Lee Oswald was a the lone-assassin.
The American people were deceived by the hidden government who, from behind the
scenes, control the direction that the country and the world go.
The war against God has been going on since the birth of
the nation. Many Christian believers did not want to take up arms against
England in the late 1700s. However, there are always those that push for war as
the solution, and manage to manipulate the parties in opposition in the direction of war, to finally concede
to war in the end. We see in American history the problem with the European
Bankers right from the start. The international bankers of Europe wanted to get
a hold of the American economy and its wealth. Many of the early American
Presidents were not ignorant of the banking cartels and their power, and how
they, through their unscrupulous banking methods managed to gain control over
the governments of Europe.
Some of these early Presidents fought against the
European banking cartels. Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Andrew Jackson, and
Abraham Lincoln were some of their more vocal opponents. However, finally, through
the bankers’ control over Woodrow Wilson in the early 20th century,
they managed to pass the Federal Income Tax law, February 3, 1913, and later
the Federal Reserve Act, December 23, 1913. Through those laws the
International Bankers were on the road to full control of the American economy
and the world.
Through their financing, and secret societies, brides,
and blackmail, they have consistently been moving the economy, the politics,
the judicial system in the direction they want it to go, a one-world government
with them at the top of the pyramid. In 1945, General George Patton was killed in
a freak accident after the war to stop him and other liked minded American
leaders from rising up and exposing the hidden powers working in Washington at
that time.
In 1951, General Douglas MacArthur was relieved of his position and ridiculed
publicly by President Truman. Some believe it was to stop MacArthur from seeking political office. In 1947, Secretary of Defence James Forrestal
committed “suicide,” before he could buy a national newspaper and tell the
American public the truth. Something he had threatened to do. Truman coerced
him to obtain “psychological” help at Walter Reeds Hospital, from where he
supposedly threw himself from the 16th floor, just hours before his
brother had arranged to come and pick him up. Many other good men have had
similar ends when they tried to rise up against the hidden powers that be.
In 1960, during his departing address to the nation, President
Eisenhower warned of growing power of the Military-Industrial-Congressional-Complex.
However, Eisenhower dropped the word “Congressional” when he gave the speech on
American television. Later, President John F. Kennedy pushed back against the
CIA’s hidden agenda, when they tried to force him into using the air-force
against Cuba in the Bay of Pigs fiasco. The fact that Kennedy didn’t help the
Bay of Pigs invasion infuriated the Mafia who wanted to topple Castro and recommence
their drug and prostitution business in Havana.
James Forrestal had been a personal friend of Kennedy’s
father. Young John Kennedy had travelled to Europe with Forrestal to observe
the Nuremberg Trials after WWII. Forrestal had been in communication with a
British parliamentarian before America entered the war. In the parliamentarian’s
book “The Nameless War,” the author, who was imprisoned for 6 years from
1939-1945 in a London jail, was gathering together a file to show to the
British Prime Minister Chamberlain, that leading European financial
institutions were responsible for secretly pushing Europe into war.
When Kennedy became President, he also fought against
Israel obtaining the nuclear bomb. It’s not wise to make Israel your enemy, but
Kennedy did. After the Bay of Pigs fiasco, he fired the head of the CIA, Allen
Dulles, and pledged to break the CIA into a thousand pieces, scattering it to
the four winds. Now he had the CIA as enemy, also. The only thing that got
scattered was not the CIA, but Kennedy’s own brains, from a head shot by those
very powers he had threatened to destroy.
The Warren Commission, headed by Supreme Justice Earl
Warren, which investigated Kennedy’s death, was largely controlled by Allen Dulles,
who Kennedy had fired, and who had been appointed by Lyndon Johnson. Dulles was
the most dynamic member of the commission and led the commission where he wanted
it to go. Strangely enough, Gerald Ford, by coincidence, who later replaced
Nixon on his resignation, was also a member of the commission.
In 1964, the US Supreme Court reinterpreted the
Constitution and decided that American women had the right to kill their unborn
children through abortions. In the years that followed, some 64+ million babies
have been sacrificed to the new gods of this world in America alone. America
has also exported her belief system and pre-birth infanticide to other third
world countries as the carrot in front of the donkey. “If you want our “aid,”
you have got to submit to our agenda.” The European Union has done the same
thing to the Southern European and Eastern European nations that have desired
to join the union. “You want the money? Then implement the agenda.”
Just as Manasseh had filled Jerusalem with the blood of
the poor innocents, who we have seen, were their own sons and daughters, whom
they offered to the heathen gods of the Canaanites; so too, America and Western
Europe have done the same. They have also coerced African and other nations to
adopt anti-God 1st world practices and provide abortion clinics, in
exchange for foreign aid. Washington and Brussels have filled the capitols of
the land with the blood of the poor innocents, all the innocent babies killed
in abortion, besides those killed in wars over minerals needed for modern
technology, and those who have died or have been injured through
mal-pharmaceutical practices, etc.
All these practices and many others are evil in
the sight of the Lord. We have done like King Manasseh did and have filled the
world with the blood of the poor innocents. Yet, we expect we can escape the
judgments of God. Billy Graham once said that the judgment on America was as
sure as the judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah had been. If God did not judge
America, Graham said, He would have to apologize for what He did to Sodom and
Gomorrah.
After the death of Manasseh, and the death of his first son Amon, Josiah began to reign.
To be continued.
