In the prophecies of Daniel we find the feet and toes, part of iron and part of clay, the iron symbolizing government, the clay symbolizing religion, pointing us to the religion born in the sign of the feet; in the age of Pisces, the toes representing the government-sanctioned religion established when a council of Christian bishops convened under the order of the Roman Emperor Constantine to compile what we know as the New Testament. The goal? To establish one religion for the people to follow. Jesus was not religious. His instruction for salvation was spiritual, internal. Paul was religious. His instruction carnal, external, teaching  salvation through the blood of Jesus, a perversion of Jewish law, which required the blood of a beast to atone for sin, not the blood of a human.

This is what Peter had to say about Paul in his letter to Clement: ”bad instruction, vain boasting, and other such evils have filled the whole house of this world like some enormous smoke preventing those who dwell in it from seeing the Founder aright.” Jesus was the Founder of Jewish Christianity. Paul was the founder of Gentile Christianity. Jesus said, “salvation is of the Jews,” referring to the adherents of Jewish Christianity, those becoming spiritual Jews through spiritual circumcision of the heart, which Paul took from the Prophet Jeremiah, but clearly did not understand, which was why Paul was made apostle to the Gentiles, who are not included in God’s new covenant. Why? Because the “new covenant” is synonymous with the “new creation,” which requires the works that Paul deemed unnecessary. By substituting the “Mosaic Law” with his made-up “law of Christ,” Paul removed the very instruction through which one enters into the new covenant. It was Pauline Christianity that spread throughout Europe, making its way to a Country founded upon Christ principles, not upon Christianity. Here’s what one of our Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson, had to say about Paul’s religion: “Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man. Rogueries, absurdities and untruths were perpetrated upon the teachings of Jesus by a large band of dupes and importers led by Paul, the first great corrupter of the teaching of Jesus.” It was most likely this insight that gave rise to Jefferson’s “Wall of Separation between Church and State.”  The Founders saw the danger in mixing government with religion, “… they shall not cleave one to another, even as the iron is not mixed with clay”  Daniel 2:43. 

The truth of where we are to govern ourselves from is revealed when we pledge allegiance to the flag, our right hand placed right of center when viewed from the outside, as we are talking about our external government, which is different from where we govern ourselves internally, which is from the center, from the heart. We are ruled by our emotions and by what resides in our heart. The reason it is right of center is because America was founded upon Christ principles, our Founding Fathers greatly inspired by the Holy Bible. A principle is a basic truth that applies to both the physical and the spiritual. If we want to see a renewal of moral and ethical standards or judgments in our physical government, we will first have to see a spiritual renewal taking place in the people, in particular the Christians, who have been taught to look outside of themselves for salvation, which is why they see the man of sin and the antichrist as some person outside of themselves instead of seeing that they themselves are the man of sin, in which the spirit of antichrist lives. When they think of Christ, they think of the man. Paul taught them to think this way. Jesus said, if any man says here is Christ, or there is Christ, believe it not. Many have proclaimed they are Christ due to this carnal way of thinking. The reason Jesus said not to believe it is because Christ is not a person, Christ is a power to be activated in a person, and Moses has given us the instruction. Until such time, we are antichrist, fighting against this power that heals us on a soul-level, and by that I mean, spiritually (mentally and emotionally), which is salvation of the soul. The mind and heart of man is in desperate need of healing. The Book of Genesis and the words of Jesus provide the instruction. So much confusion, “Babylon the great,” which falls when the source of the confusion, the iniquity of the Church, is taken out of the way through the spiritual truth Jesus imparted. Church-going Christians will tell you that Babylon the Great is the Catholic Church, not their Church. But they were all built upon Paul’s doctrine, built upon a foundation of sand, which will not stand in the face of truth! “Come out of her my people” is a warning to all Christians!  

Jesus said that those who follow him will judge the twelve tribes of Israel, which are the twelve sons of Jacob. We judge Reuben by overcoming the fear that causes anxiety and disorders of the mind. We judge Simeon by overcoming the anger that causes depression, and is at the root of every addiction. Simeon and Levi are brethren, kindred spirits. Where you find one, you will find another. We judge Levi by overcoming the control that comes with our anger, be it lack of control or excessive control, which keeps us in bondage to our addiction. We judge both by overcoming the source that fuels our anger and need for control, which is the false belief. This internal judgment or healing process is encoded in the 49th Chapter of Genesis, which I experienced firsthand over a period of seven years. It is the subject of my second book, “The Little Book for the soul,” published in 2001 under its original title, “Judging the Twelve Tribes of Israel.” Did you know that when George Washington was inaugurated as our first President, he placed his hand on the Bible (opened to the 49th Chapter of Genesis). America is called the land of the free. The 49th Chapter of Genesis contains the healing process through which we are made free of our spiritual bondage. And freedom without requires freedom within! 

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts” Isaiah 55:8,9. Christians should consider this when they bring their religious beliefs into social issues like abortion, a subject that divides the left and right. Christians, generally speaking, are pro-life, believing that life begins at conception. Yes, physical life begins at conception. But spiritual life, according to the Bible, begins with the breath of life, when the soul enters the body. Which life do you suppose is more precious to God? If you believe the soul lives on after the physical body dies, you have the answer. Have Christians, in their self-righteous “pro-life” stance on abortion, considered the number of children that will be brought into this world only to be destroyed on a soul-level through mental, emotional, and physical abuse? Without the right to abortion, Isaiah’s  prophecy will continue to unfold, as more and more children, born of the spiritually desolate, are brought into this world, carrying on the spiritual legacy of their caretakers, contributing to the growing spiritual decline of mankind. Exposing the lies in the doctrines of religion through truth will have the far right moving left, closer to “right of center.” Religion is not to be mixed with government, which will have the far left, particularly those that advocate for socialism, moving right, closer to “right of center.”  Socialism can only work if the people have a pure mind and heart, free of lust and greed. And this can only take place through the “christ” that is positioned “right of center.” Christ is the power of creation, “a new heaven and a new earth” symbolizing “a new mind and a new heart.”  As heaven and earth came into existence through the speaking of God’s word, our new heaven and earth comes into existence through the speaking of truth. And a good place to start is in Government and Religion. “Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure” Daniel 2:45. The stone symbolizes truth. The iron symbolizes government. The clay symbolizes religion. The gold, silver, and brass symbolize the three main Christian religions: Catholic, Trinity, and Pentecost. Truth, in Government and Religion, is where we need to start if we want to preserve our Freedom!
