LET THEM EAT CAKE
Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at 10:56AM 
“Let them eat cake,” is the response attributed to Queen Marie Antoinette when informed that her subjects had no bread to eat. To better appreciate the meaning of that remark, in French the word translated as “cake” is brioche, which is highly enriched bread made with egg and butter. The point of the Queen’s retort is that she was oblivious to the plight of the famine-ravaged peasantry. If they had no bread, they surely would not have any brioche to eat.
As it turned out it did not end well for the royal family, or for France for that matter, as the entire nation was plunged into revolution and afterwards subjected to the ruin brought on by Napoleon.
In all likelihood, though, the ill-fated Queen never actually said: “Let them eat cake.” The storming of the Bastille, which was supposedly provoked by Marie Antoinette’s calloused retort, was actually an operation carried out on orders from London by means of French provocateurs, for the purpose of preventing patriots from replicating the American Revolution throughout Europe. (Jean Sylvain Bailly: The French Revolution's Benjamin Franklin – EIR)
History has a way of repeating itself. The reason that is the case is because the system in place never really
Storming of the Bastille changes – only the names, faces, and places. Tyrants come and tyrants go. At times the people rise up and the tyrants are overthrown, only to be replaced by other tyrants. And so it goes. There will never be a true freedom until the heavenly tyrant, Satan the Devil, is overthrown by the Kingdom of Christ Jesus. From all appearances the overthrow of the demonic tyrants who have ruled the world for the past six millennia is imminent.
While the influence of the wicked spirits in heavenly places is all-pervasive throughout the world, being like the very air itself, which is inhaled by the sons of disobedience, as the enlightened apostle worded it, Satan’s imperial power is now primarily projected through the Anglo-American Empire.
But the Anglo-dominated system is now perched on the edge of a foreboding abyss. Its now-imminent collapse will trigger a social explosion and upheaval. And apparently that is the intent of the dark forces that rule this world.
Take a brief look at the present situation: take China for starters – A nation of over one billion people with millions desperately impoverished, who are controlled by a tiny clique of elites and exploited by multi-nationals and a growing number of Chinese billionaires. Surely the lessons of the French and Russian revolutions are not lost upon the Communist leadership.
But the same situation is developing in the so-called developed world. Look at the situation in Great Britain and America itself. Britons are being told they will have to suffer massive budget cuts to pay off the banker’s bad gambling debts. Case in point: Some 30 UK universities may be forced to close as a result, including, potentially, the venerated institutions of Oxford and Cambridge. But in America the situation is even worse. To date $24 trillion (YouTube) have been handed over to the bankers while 10’s of millions of Americans are losing their jobs; millions have already lost their homes, and worse, many are losing hope.
The question is, how long will it be before the hopeless and the famished rise up to overthrow the tyrants who have robbed and crushed them?
Adding to the volatility of the present situation, since the election of Barack Obama millions of Americans are being polarized along racial lines. There has been a resurgence of hate crimes. It has been reported that growing numbers of Americans are taking up arms and joining paramilitary groups and right-wing militias, and of course, like their Jacobin forerunners, right-wing reactionaries are fanning the flames. Under circumstances of martial law a violent civil war is not out of the question.
What does any of this have to do with Bible prophecy? Long ago Jehovah spoke through the prophets, foretelling that this present civilization will come unwound at the coming of Christ.
Consider that elsewhere the case has been made that Egypt of prophecy has a modern parallel in the United States. (See The Downfall of America – Jehovah Himself Has Become King) According to the prophecy Jehovah is going to set the Egyptians against one another. Isaiah 19:2-4 states: ‘“And I will goad Egyptians against Egyptians, and they will certainly war each one against his brother, and each one against his companion, city against city, kingdom against kingdom. And the spirit of Egypt must become bewildered in the midst of it, and I shall confuse its own counsel. And they will be certain to resort to the valueless gods and to the charmers and to the spirit mediums and to the professional foretellers of events. And I will deliver up Egypt into the hand of a hard master, and strong will be the king that will rule over them,’ is the utterance of the true Lord, Jehovah of armies.”
Also, consider the prophecy of Zachariah 11:6, which foretells: “‘For I shall show compassion no more upon the inhabitants of the land,’ is the utterance of Jehovah. ‘So here I am causing mankind to find themselves, each one in the hand of his companion and in the hand of his king; and they will certainly crush to pieces the land, and I shall do no delivering out of their hand.’”
Please understand this, although the prophecies state that Jehovah will cause the calamity to befall the nations, that does not mean Jehovah directly causes it. He merely allows it. He sets it into motion by giving Christ authority over the nations. In reality, the demons are responsible for scuttling the system they govern. They are forced to out of desperation, knowing they have a short period of time to continue their reign of tyranny. “The hard master,” into whose hands the “Egyptians” are destined to fall and the king who is destined to “crush to pieces the land,” both are in reference to the eighth king, the last kingdom that is destined to arise from the abyss following the collapse of the present system and rule for "one hour" before going off into destruction.
How will this affect Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Watchtower Society? The brotherhood is destined to be shattered by the last king. Just as Christ’s apostles and first century disciples were stumbled and scattered when their shepherd was struck down by religious enemies who conspired with representatives of imperial Rome, the very same prophecies have destined the congregation of Christ to be severely wounded in the day of break down and turmoil. (Isaiah 30:26)
Jesus himself foretold that many will be stumbled because of the increasing of lawlessness and that many will hate one another and betray one another, and children will rise up against their parents to have them put to death, and parents will have their own children put to death.
At this late hour millions of Jehovah’s Witnesses have already been stumbled, including people once associated with Jehovah’s Witnesses such as family or relatives of Jehovah’s Witnesses, and there are those many millions who have partaken of a Bible study with Jehovah’s Witnesses but who did not commit to become Jehovah’s Witnesses, who are now increasingly, often rabidly, hostile to the Watchtower organization. Those legions of stumbled individuals, united through dozens of Internet discussion boards and so-called "recovery" groups, are now unwittingly primed to do an evil work during the hour of darkness soon to engulf this wicked world.
Although the Watchtower Society has soaped Jehovah’s Witnesses with the naïve notion that the faithful will march from glory to glory, under the desperate circumstances of the now-oncoming social upheaval and martial law, it does not take a great deal of imagination to envision the virtual army of Watchtower-haters allying themselves with authorities in order to assist them to track down and turn in those whom they know are members of the 'family-destroying,' 'subversive cult' – Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Did not Jesus say that the Devil will keep on throwing some of you into prison in order that you may be completely tested? Keep in mind, there has not been one of Jehovah’s Witnesses go to prison in America for their faith since the Vietnam War. And yet the United States is where the highest concentration of Jehovah’s Witnesses presently exist, not to mention the leadership of the Watchtower Society itself. Think about it.
For the past few years rumors have circulated of the existence of hundreds of unoccupied FEMA detention camps throughout the United States. It was reported in 2005 in the financial press that Halliburton subsidiary, KBR, had won a multimillion dollar contract to build numerous detention camps around the United States, ostensibly for the purpose of detaining illegal aliens.
Since the original story broke the patriotic underground has investigated these matters and verified that there are indeed concentration camps in America. Apparently the axiom is: build it and they will come. Also there have been reports circulating of the existence of thousands of plastic coffins and prebuilt prison cell modules that will allow prisons to be hastily built with Lego block-like, snap-together cells. If anyone doubts the existence of such things, they do well to keep in mind that it has already is an accepted fact that the US runs dozens of secret prisons around the world, where those deemed to be enemies of the state are illegally incarcerated.
Jehovah’s appointed day of tyranny is nigh!

As the Watchtower continues to regurgitate outdated doctrines to Jehovah’s Witnesses, it appears that the leadership of the Society will unwittingly deliver millions among their flock into the hand of a harsh master, the 8th king of Bible prophecy.
For example, Jehovah’s Witnesses subscribe to the belief that as people join their ranks they are liberated from Babylon the Great. The problem with this idea is that we teach that Babylon the Great is the world empire of false religion, Christendom being the most prominent part of this so-called empire. However, what does the Bible actually teach about this “great city” as it is called in the 18th chapter of Revelation?
The book of Daniel speaks of the fall and rise of a series of empires, i.e., Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. They were empires in the sense that they dominated other nations and subjugated large territories. Presently, this is not the case with Babylon the Great. So it cannot be thought of as an “empire” yet.
The elements or building blocks, though demonic in nature behind the scene, from which modern Babylon will rise have been present since God confused the language of the would-be builders of Babel as shown in the 11th chapter of Genesis. Currently, Babel or Babylon exists in a fragmentary state all over the world.
However, this will change at the onset of the great tribulation. That is what we ought to understand by the healing of one the heads of the wild beast that John saw in vision coming out of the sea. (Rev 13:3) It is then that Jehovah will allow this “strong city” to form into a global church-state world power; at a time when it will face God’s wrath at Christ’s Second Coming. If this empire had formed any sooner it would have already devastated the whole world. Fortunately, it has been providentially kept in check, allowing for the present increase of knowledge in this time of the end. –Daniel 12:4.
The recently failed Copenhagen summit shows that this empire will not rise at a time that is inconsistent with God’s timetable. Nonetheless, when this kingdom comes to power, the nations will find themselves locked into its tyrannical grip. It will be under this scenario that Jehovah, through his Christ, will refine and ultimately deliver his people from captivity. Thus John wrote as shown in Revelation 13:10:
“If anyone [is meant] for captivity, he goes away into captivity. If anyone will kill with the sword, he must be killed with the sword. Here is where it means the endurance and faith of the holy ones.”
Just for the record, Brother King, I much prefer your new, streamlined site; it's a marked change for the better.
On another topic: earthquakes seem to have increased in frequency of late...

Those legions of stumbled individuals, united through dozens of Internet discussion boards and so-called "recovery" groups, are now unwittingly primed to do an evil work during the hour of darkness soon to engulf this wicked world.
This seems to contradict chapter 10 of your e-book, 'Jehovah Himself Has Become King.' In your e-book, you seem to agree that it's the leadership of the WTS that turns on the true anointed in the time of the end. I have long thought that the end times will mirror what was happening when Jesus was on earth. Back in Jesus' day the Jewish religious leaders rallied to have Jesus put to death, and used the Romans as allies to accomplish that. According to what you are teaching about the man of lawlessness in your e-book, it seems that you are agreeing that the religious leaders of Jehovah's Witnesses will do something similar in regard to the true anointed ones, that they will turn on them, and betray them, and have them handed over to the government, ostensibly to be put to death.
So why does this article portray stumbled individuals as being the ones to turn on true believers? The way I see it, stumbled individuals would be drawn to the preaching work of the true anointed ones, because the true anointed ones will be speaking the truth, no matter how embarrassing it is for Watchtower officials. Stumbled individuals yearn to be validated, which will surely happen when the 'truth' comes out about the man of lawlessness. Stumbled individuals are not the evil element, the man of lawlessness is.
The leadership of Jehovah Witnesses have been fully informed that their 1914 teachings are false, but they hold on to these teachings because this is the snare Satan is using on Jehovah's people. The Governing Body refuses to admit the truth, and instead prefers to retain their control over the congregations by insisting that they are the 'faithful and discreet slave' and by denouncing and disfellowshipping those who speak the truth. Whose side are they on? To whom do they belong? Certainly not the Christ, for their actions betray them.
Robert King has spewed out a plethora of the Bible’s judgmental pronouncements as being applicable to Jehovah’s Witnesses instead of Christendom. Nonetheless, he is doing an excellent work of opening people’s eyes. The Watchtower on the other hand teaches that they have already passed the judgment in 1918 and has subsequently been entrusted with all of the master’s belongings.
At that time, they say, Christendom was judged as the “evil slave” and relegated outside of Christ’s kingdom. Since then the call to “get out of Babylon” has been heralded to this day by Jehovah’s Witnesses instructing sheep-like individuals to take their stand for Christ by joining their ranks.
However, if Christ did not come to his temple in 1918 to refine and purge it of lawless ones, it stands to reason that he has neither entrusted the good news of the kingdom to Jehovah’s Witnesses. The fact of the matter is Christ entrusted his gospel to his followers when he poured out holy spirit upon them at Pentecost after his resurrection and ascension.
Since then he has been observant of how we are using and faring with his message. He is now waiting to see what we do with it and will not be rendering his judgment until the conclusion of the system of things, during the great tribulation. That is when he will come as a “refiner” and “laundryman” to clean up his house.
This process will last for a period of 3 ½ years. He staged this course of action that he will undertake during this future time of distress that will come upon the whole world, when he chased the money changers in the temple at the beginning and at the end of his earthly ministry. That is why in Revelation we find the symbolic two witnesses preaching in sackcloth for 1260 days or 3 ½ years.
So it appears that Christ will take matters into his own hands as far as getting the “good news” preached throughout the earth at a critical stage in mankind’s history through a select few individuals, the 144,000, just as he spoke through his disciples through holy spirit at Pentecost.
You write: "Those legions of stumbled individuals, united through dozens of Internet discussion boards and so-called "recovery" groups, are now unwittingly primed to do an evil work during the hour of darkness soon to engulf this wicked world...it does not take a great deal of imagination to envision the virtual army of Watchtower-haters allying themselves with authorities in order to assist them to track down and turn in those whom they know are members of the 'family-destroying,' 'subversive cult' – Jehovah’s Witnesses." End of quote.
It takes even less imagination to see the WT follow through with its revised view that the UN-NWO is just another form of the 'superior authorities' who are God's servants for 'our good,' to be obeyed and followed with admiration as a sacred service to Jehovah.
The JW 'theocratic' command and control structure with millions of self-basting functionaries ready to die for any directive of their revered ‘Slave class,’ no matter how counter-scriptural, lends itself for easy integration into the multicultural, global, NWO brotherhood of "the kingdom that is about to take complete control of the whole world," the one to replace the 'present evil system' of nation states, that the WT presently hails and preaches as the kingdom of God, and which it says has been ruling the world invisibly behind the scenes since 1914.
Then, finally, with the 'minority religion' of JW's elevated and acknowledged as World Servers and Agents of Change, and integrated with all other minority faiths, for whose religious freedom the WT has campaigned in World fora such as the OSCE etc, their true colours will emerge when, being put in positions of secular authority, they can finally act out their murderous hatred towards those who do not bow down to their GB idol, when they hand over to the NWO authorities to be killed physically, all those who they have already killed 'spiritually' as 'apostates,' namely, the true sons of God, just like their forefathers slaughtered the prophets of Jehovah from of old.
That is why God lets an operation of error go to the WT followers that, in the hour of test, they may get to believing the lie that the NWO is the very kingdom of God, because they did not accept the love of the truth that Jesus' coming and subsequent presence is still future, as well as greedily swallowing the lie that he appointed their GB in 1918 over all his belongings.
And unless you become fearful of them and rejoin them, seeing you still view them as 'God's household,' you also risk martyrdom at their hands, "because it is not admissible for a prophet to be destroyed outside of Brooklyn."
"...and they gnaw their tongues for their pain and for their ulcers, and they did not repent of their works."
Wow , very interesting!!!
I can see how the WT Society, aka Governing Body, would fit the role of leading the whole org. into apostasy...in a bigger way than they already have. I would not be surprised to see them team up with the NWO to go after the 'true sons', the ones who do not bow down to the WT idol.
True sons and daughters need to gather themselves and unite with our King . Our work has only just begun !
Become a "Light unto the Nations" and stand firm no matter where you are. Trust no one except YHWH.
Putting on the new personality means putting away the teachings of men, and learning to rely solely on the spirit of Jah.
Stinger,
your words are the (only) ones I fully agree ... on this site !
"Trust no one except YHWH."
Copletation: we are also cammanded by YHWH to trust also the SON
"This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!"
"Putting on the new personality means putting away the teachings of men, and learning to rely solely on the spirit of Jah."
Jeremiah 3 says
19 "I myself said,
" 'How gladly would I treat you like sons
and give you a desirable land,
the most beautiful inheritance of any nation.'
I thought you would call me 'Father'
and not turn away from following me.
20 But like a woman unfaithful to her husband,
so you have been unfaithful to me, O house of Israel,"
declares the LORD.
21 A cry is heard on the barren heights,
the weeping and pleading of the people of Israel,
because they have perverted their ways
and have forgotten the LORD their God.
22 "Return, faithless people;
I will cure you of backsliding."
"Yes, we will come to you,
for you are the LORD our God.
23 Surely the idolatrous commotion on the hills
and mountains is a deception;
surely in the LORD our God
is the salvation of Israel.
24 From our youth shameful gods have consumed
the fruits of our fathers' labor—
their flocks and herds,
their sons and daughters.
25 Let us lie down in our shame,
and let our disgrace cover us.
We have sinned against the LORD our God,
both we and our fathers;
from our youth till this day
we have not obeyed the LORD our God."
GREETINGS to you, Stinger
in Christ,
rus virgil
More fear based rhetoric from Watchtower promoters.
Perfect Love throws fear outside, but not so if the Watchtower is the epicentre of one's interpretations.
But...thats life, isnt it?
One man's trash is another man's doctrine.
Beau
Jesus has made the way for his followers to be with him, and like him. We must have courage, and we must have true spiritual love for Jehovah, and his LIVING AUTHORITY, Jesus. We must also love our enemies...even those who cast us away from the Father's house. I do not know of the future ....I do know that we must perceive YHWH's will for us TODAY as pertains to HOW we react when we are made the refuse of the Watchtower. Pain of death is momentary...pain in cowardice lives with the offender until he too dies. We shal then live to Jah, and also Die to him.
It would seem to me that certain postings about the JW's and the organization so to speak may have have some real substance and truth behind them on the matter of Jehovah's spirit not being with them. As a former JW, I left because I broke programming and seen the inconsistencies with the 1914 doctrine, the bedroom laws, the flip flopping on doctrine, the us vs. them mentality etc. The list could go on and on for me and many others as well. But the point here is that truth doesn't change or really need to be debated. People can have their own opinions and support them in different ways because you believe they are correcrt, the truth, etc. or even by twisting scripture to mean what you want it to mean to fit your opinion or ideology. But you can't have your own facts. Facts are facts and they represent a given truth. And the facts show that JW's are being diluted, manipulated, mind controlled, and misled by an orginization of men who claim that they are spirit directed as a faithful and discreet slave class and further perpetuate the propaganda. And if there is a change, they just call it "new light" which is really just a new way to spin the given propaganda. Don't believe me? Start your research and see for yourself.
