HISTORY OF LOCAL gODS AND IDOLS
=========================================================
It reads:
The local god and the local ruler were, for the Semites, each a "melek" (their ruler, a king), a "baal" (their owner, a Lord). The human ruler and the local god were essentially one, an impression the Persians were to use. Often, the ruling dynasty descended from a god or hero, making the king divine, just as the emperor-cult of Rome dominated army and province, and welded the aristocracy and the masses.
Though a few disagree, most students now see the cult of dead ancestors as an important part of the Israelite religion before the exile. Dead ancestors had divine qualities and were called "elohim"-divine beings. The family estate was passed down by the ancestors and so families were more or less wealthy depending upon their ancestors' endeavours. For this they had to be honoured whatever level the family began at. Even slaves became members of their master's family. Families kept little statuettes-terephim-that stood for their elohim or "gods" and who represented the family's identity and fortunes. Rights of passage involved ceremonies of presentation of family members to the terephim for recognition and approval.
Founding "father" as a god. Plainly this was an extension of ancestor worship into a personal god of the family handed down by the father-the head of the household. By the early part of the final millennium BC, large clans had turned their family god into a localized cult with local shrines or temples. Generally he was called "Baal" meaning "Lord" because the senior member of a family is always addressed as Lord by his descendants, but he also had a toponym, a place name, or a clan name. Baal-Peor, the name of a Moabite god, was one such toponymic name.
NOT ALL THE TRIBES IN THE MIDDLE EAST STARTED THIS WAY, AS SOME WERE OFF SPRING OF THE SONS OF NOAH AND THEIR SONS. HOWEVER, MORE THAN LIKELY IT WAS LATER INFILTRATED WITH FALLEN ANGELS.

2. This show how some races started
3. This shows that many rulers are fallen angels
4. Many religion were started this way
5. They have the option of doing this today, well in the west, why not. They opt to lift up Christ; at least on the surface. Could it be the tact mention in the Student Manifesto? Could it be the majority are waiting for the luciferanic takeover and employ good for evil means? Or could it be that they went to the west also in hope, with a little fear; yet driven by rebellion still.
6. In going to west they something startling was done, while in times pass they lifted up their own names as God, as seen below, and corrupted God's name Yah to be something blasphemous, when they came here they recorded that it means Yah. That is, in the European dictionaries (Oxford) we find that the name Yah has a blasphemous meaning, but in the first American dictionaries (Webster) it means God or alludes to him. At least some, but probably none in Europe. It could mean that they gave up lifting themselves up to lift up God, probably in hope of salvation or simply began to fear him, yet still driven by the falleness to sin; as plague all fallen creatures. Just thoughts, far fetch, but thoughts nonetheless.
7. What would contradict this and even kill the entire hope is that they could have indirectly given up worship to give up the responsibility of worship or being reverence; seeing that they cannot sustain it. That is, being an idol they would often be defeated by other deities and their following loose faith in them and follow other idols. But more seriously, their power would be deemed a ploy, when men like Elijah came about and embarrassed the 850 prophets of baal, even laughing at them saying where is the power of you god; then even further, he had them killed. To avoid caring for a flock, so to speak for it is not care, and trying to maintain their profess power, they would push the worship from themselves, saying Christ alone is God, he alone is powerful yet still indirectly demanding praise from the masses by being STARS - musicians, actors, athletes, etc. They would deflect the responsibility of godhood, but receive its praises. Somewhat witty. This is epitomized in shows like American Idol; people magazine said this of the last American idol, is she "ready to receive idol worship." However, when did this entertainment star craze begin in America? Is it of late? Even then, fallen angels plan way into the future, being able to kind of see it. So even if they didn't start doing it until the 1900's it could have still being the intent. And why this age is so stirred to them and masses stir to counterfeit churches; bringing back the reverence to them when the masses get nothing from a congregation that has nothing. Another opposition to this would be that the entertainment industry as it is today was existent in older societies, like Greek-Rome - who had athletes, actors, etc; to which many things in the current industry resonate. Another opposition would be that many of these said industry started out with a biblical perspective, that is, for promoting the bible. This can be seen during the renaissance when these industries were really brought into play in the lives of men till this day. Printing press began with printing Christian literature. Paintings were centered on the bible. Plays were biblical and so goes the music. But again, like America and it's Christian roots yet now fallen into secularism, this could have been a way of humbly beginning. This too is highly debatable and no certainly can be gained, for it is easy to argue for and against. Especially knowing that satan can corrupt and employ a good thing for evil use. What really makes the intent of evil more probable than that of good is this quote recorded in my first online distribution of the Masonic version of the Truth Series: "Occult leaders in Europe were told by their Familiar Spirits as early as the 1740's that the new American continent was to be established as the new "Atlantis" and its destiny was to assume the global leadership of the drive to the New World Order. From the beginning, the United States of America was chosen to lead the world into this kingdom of Antichrist, and Washington, D.C. was to be its capital" (Doc Rivers, Satanist Master Witch and an Illuminist).
An opposition to the above and prove it somewhat wrong is Rev 14:6-8, where before the fall of Babylon what was being done throughout the world was preaching extensively, whereby Babylon is the vehicle God would use; as it is the reality today. America has promoted the gospel more than any other nation. This along with other reasons cited in the Student Manifesto (1) give rise to the anti-Christ needing its fall and why its fall comes before his rise. To counteract this onslaught, the best method is to pollute it from within - hence the humanist and their agenda; amongst the other pollutants in the entertainment industry. In a newsletter done sometime ago I had said that Israel was captured and the other nations wasted by the original Babylon because God was also spreading his word and Jewry to the world by this. Hence we find in Mordecai's time an epitome of this - "And many of the people of the land became Jews" (Ester 8:17). Shortly after that they built the second temple but it too was destroyed, they were not getting the picture; then another temple arose, the real temple - Jesus Christ or Yahoshua Ha Mashiah (Mark 14:58). The same thing will happen today:
| O L D B A B Y L O N
Middle East | C U R R E N T B A B Y L O N
America |
| 1. Babylonian Capture was used to spread Jewry. | Current Babylonian is used to spread the gospel. |
| 2. Second temple was built after Babylonian exile. | A third temple will be finished after the fall of the great whore called Babylon. |
| 3. That temple wasn't really God's intent. | The third temple built today is not of God but will be used by the Anti-Christ. |
| 4. Second temple after Babylonian exile was destroyed for salvation through grace - Christ. | Third present day "satanic" temple destroyed by Christ return and a New everlasting City built or descended after the second resurrection (Rev 21). |
The only thing that would make Doc Rivers correct is that after the fall of Babylon the Mark of Beast would be formally introduced, by the false prophet (Rev 13:11-18). More than likely it would have been harnessed here and satan's foot soldiers would arise to power to keep the falleness permanent: like the robots in Terminator 3 that were dormant and woven into society until the attack. This brings another side to it, the familiar spirits from then could have seen the intent of America by God and at the outset of the birth of the nation, also tried to dedicated it to Satan with the stuff mentioned in Doc Rivers' full report; though some questionable. Nevertheless, somehow they managed to keep the nation relatively 'Christianized' and the intent to which God desired came to pass. This couldn't happen in the first West (West of Europe), because Constantine (satan's seat) and his successors had already made a pseudo church the dominant religion throughout Europe and even with the breaking away of the Church of England, it was pretty much still catholic. However, when the real west was squeezed out of the first west into the America's, the first thing that was done by Thomas Jefferson and others was to constitute that the government cannot interfere in religion (Judeo-Christendom); as with what happened with Constantine. In other words, don't make no law saying this church alone is right, those who oppose this or that doctrine must be killed, don't interfere at all - THAT IS SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE. If that had not been done, the real born again Christians (*Apostolics) among the Christians wouldn't have the liberty to spread the real gospel and doctrine; both in America and around the world. They would still be bound in catholic ritualism, a ploy by satan to make you think you have it when you don't. So though Doc Rivers' noted agenda might be true, it didn't stop God's agenda and thus you have two agenda's in America right now. One trying to destroy it from within for satan and the other trying to preserve the religious heritage and freedom. One continue to prosper, but the sad fact is, sometime in the future one will take over the other, ushering in THE END! May God help us, and that those who hear the preaching in this time of relative freedom might heed to it and spread the word to those whom you claim you love - friends don't let friends drive drunk.
*You might say that this is being dogmatic as Constantine, to say only Apostolics are the true Christians. The Apostolic Church is not a denomination, but the true quintessential doctrine shared by many Christians. Though you have Apostolic Churches, some denominations share in the Apostolic doctrine though still holding their former name - Methodist, Seven Day, Baptist, Calvinists, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Anglican, even some Catholics and others. The Apostolic church is the principles of the Doctrine of Christ in its real or purest form, that is, doctrine before the Constantine take over. The take over was set into motion before A.D. 325 and started by the philosophized Hellenized apologists in the second century. When this was initiated and became law and constantly amended, the doctrine in its purest form was lost and hence the potency was also lost, resulting in a counterfeit church; meant to keep the people near yet far from the intent of Christ and his doctrine, affection called the Apostolic doctrine. However, it was never lost and for the first time it can be verified and all the counterfeit doctrines debunked investigatively in a book called "The Voice Of Him That Crieth In The Wilderness" or "The Voice…" for short, by O. McQuick; showing and proving for the first time that the Apostolic doctrine and church is the true doctrine. Apostolic so-called because Christ is the chief "Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus" (Heb 3:1 & Eph 2:20); and two, "the mystery of Christ …which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles" (Eph 3:5). Also, because it would be known that the Apostolic doctrine would again be restored (Isaiah 29:18-24), devils has gone ahead promoting their assembly and movement as the Apostolic Church; some even have the label, 'New Apostolic Church.'
