Religious Persecutions 2009-2012 By Edward McKinney

I am preempting my series of newsletters on prayer and meditation because of my huge breakthrough in Bible Prophecy Research. You are the first people in the world to share this information straight from my personal study notes.

Background

Here is some background information on my breakthrough. I had purposely left out four verses of prophecy (which were Daniel 9:24-27) from my book. I did that because other researchers had already done the math to show that these verses prophesied on the First Coming of Jesus Christ.

But, a fellow researcher recently asked my opinion on these verses regarding an end-time week of years. So, I went back to look at these verses again. I also reexamined my Forefather’s Prophecy Calendar. I did indeed find an end-time week of years. Daniel 9:24-27 had prophesied of 2008 through 2015 AD.

The most astonishing thing about my belated research was that the week of years began the very day that I discovered the week of years. That was June 20, 2008, which was the day of the summer solstice. As you know, ancient people used calendars that were based on solstices and new moons. So, it was appropriate that the 70th week of years would begin on a solstice. By the way, this is the 7-year period that has been dreaded as the end-time Tribulation.

The coincidental discovery is not uncommon in my prophecy studies. The study of prophecy is an experience that is between the earth and Heaven and between the real world and the supernatural world. I believe that I have become part of a heavenly Internet where prophetic information flows into my mind with less and less study effort.

The Principle of Repetition

One way to understand end-time prophecy is to overlay events of the past onto events of the end-time. People repeat themselves. Events repeat themselves.

What will happen 2008-2015?

The years of 2008-2015 are repetitions of events and people 2000 years ago when Jesus was young. When Jesus was born, King Herod tried to kill the Baby Jesus by slaughtering newborn babies that were up to the age of two. He was attempting to murder Jesus because of his fear that Jesus would replace him as king.

Overlay those people and events onto our time. The next administration in the White House will attack small religious organizations and individuals. This will be an outrageous persecution in the minds of new Churches and small organizations. But, it will be welcomed by big religious organizations that can afford legal protection. Scribes and Pharisees were happy that Herod moved to kill off Baby Jesus. They did not want competition. Some big Churches will be happy to get rid of competition.

Some Religious Leaders are Corrupt

I cannot use names in talking about some religious leaders that are shamelessly corrupt and need to be in prison for cheating believers. I can say that there is a particular faith healer that was caught on videotape when he laughed to scorn a poor woman that gave her last twenty dollars to him in the hope of being healed. There is a woman minister that bought six huge mansions with money given to her in the name of the Lord. This woman is definitely a daughter of the Whore of Babylon. That money should have gone to help others or at least to pay for missionary work.

You might have read articles about Senators and Congressmen that are coordinating efforts to imprison corrupt religious leaders and outlaw their means of receiving donations. This demonstrates a law of religious physics. For every outrageous act by corrupt religious leaders, there is an equal reaction to stop them. This happened when Marxists overthrew Church leaders in czarist Russia. Unfortunately there is another law of religious physics that has small and innocent religious groups punished for the sins of rich and powerful organizations.

Massacre of the Innocents

The predictable outcome of legal action will be that big corrupt organizations will escape persecution and prosecution while small and sincere religious organizations will be massacred. This will be a repetition of the Massacre of the Innocents by Herod.

The Two Witnesses

2010 years ago Jesus first appeared at the Temple. In 2010, the Two Witnesses will be teaching in the United States. Do you remember righteous Simon who wanted to see Baby Jesus before he died of old age? He has modern counterparts. There are millions of true Christians that want to see the Two Witnesses when they finally appear. The words that they speak will mean success or ruin for national and religious leaders. Fire will come out of their mouths in a metaphoric sense (Rev. 11:5).

Christians would make the Two Witnesses the President and Vice President if they could. This would scare the actual President and Vice President into arranging the deaths of the Two Witnesses for the same reasons Herod arranged the murder of Baby Jesus. If you think that our present government leaders are decent people, you could be way too generous in your assessments.

Freemason Prophecy

The day could come that the President and Vice President call Freemason scholars into the Oval Office and inquire about the year that the Two Witnesses are prophesied to appear. A 33rd Degree Mason would probably be able to inform the President that the Two Witnesses were prophesied to appear sometime in or after 2008.

The President would then have hit men secretly dispatched to murder the Two Witnesses. Hit men would be able to seek out every person that claimed to be the Two Witnesses. Here we see a repetition of Joseph and Mary fleeing to Egypt to save Baby Jesus.

Another scenario is that the President and Vice President are unknowing agents of Satan. Satan wants to kill the Two Witnesses by using the presidency. The next presidential administration might be unknowing agents of Satan. They might simply want to wreak havoc on new religious organizations that are not yet fully in compliance with incorporation laws.

Beginning organizations do go through awkward stages in which they are trying to incorporate but are hindered by the lack of money to pay for such expensive legal procedures. That is why upstart religious organizations would be considered innocent babes. They have absolutely no desire to do anything illegal. They simply do not have investment money up front. And the legal deaths of their upstart organizations would be a massacre of enterprises run by honest and sincere people.

Obama’s Awful Religious Experience

Those of you who have read articles on our website know that Obama and Hillary will be in the White House in 2009. So, these two will play the role of Herod and his court. If you consider the background of these two individuals, you will see that their ideologies are not genuinely Christian. This was like the ideological state of Herod. He was a ruthless politician and murderer. Herod had only a pretense of religion. In fairness, every politician in Washington seems to have the same pretense of religion.

Closet Marxists

Hillary has quoted Marx in public. Left wing people in the media have covered for her and other closet Marxists by editing out parts of their speeches. Obama has not yet been known to quote Marx. However, he has made two Marxist statements in public that I personally heard. One statement was that Christianity would no longer be the religion of the US Government. The other statement was that Americans were too dependent on their guns and religion. As you probably know, Marx claimed that religion was an opiate. He also taught that citizens should be disarmed. Ironically, Marxism is now infamous for being an opiate to backward and naive people. And Marxism disarmed people so that the government could execute them simply because they were religious.

Obama’s personal experience could have turned him against Christianity. As you might recall, Obama’s pastor made volatile comments to the press. These comments could have ruined Obama’s campaign efforts. In my opinion, it was very selfish of the pastor to have used his time in the limelight to say things that would undermine Obama’s campaign. The minister was on Obama’s payroll. The man should not have worked against Obama while receiving pay from Obama. The minister ought to have declined the position of campaign advisor if he intended to use his opportunity to vent his rage. Obama's religious mentor demonstrated that he was/is an unethical and unprincipled man. Obama's history of Pork Barrel spending shows him to have a similar duplicitous character. We know at least one source of this schizophrenia.

The point is that both Obama and Hillary are primed to attack corrupt religious leaders. But, the real outcome would be that baby organizations would be killed while large organizations would be safe.

The year 2012 is in the midst of 2008-2015

In the midst of this week of years (2008-2015) is 2012. According to the Forefather’s Prophecy Calendar, 2012-2013 is the time that the Two Witnesses will be murdered. Do you recall that Jesus was also murdered in the midst of the week? So, we see a repetition of the Passover week. But, it is now a week of years.

What happened three days after Jesus was crucified? He was resurrected to life. Jesus walked the streets of Jerusalem and sought out His disciples. There were also other saints resurrected and they walked the streets of Jerusalem in their grave clothes. People do not normally remember verses that describe the resurrection of saints.

"And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people." Matthew 27:50-53 NIV

If we apply the repetition principle to these events, we see that three days after the Two Witnesses are murdered (2012-13) the Dead in Christ will walk the streets of the Holy City.

In summation, we could be now headed into a week of years that could see the resurrection of the dead and culminate in the Return of Jesus. And, I might add again that the diagrams I independently created to show the years of end-time events match the diagrams of Freemasons. In other words, Freemasons will be able to tell the next president of the US that the Two Witnesses will appear in public in 2009.

What does it mean to you?

It means that you are about to be given eternal life.

The corroboration of my independent research and Freemason prophecies substantiate the year 2015-16 as the year that Jesus Christ returns. (Bible years and modern years do not align.) If correct, that would be the time the living are given eternal life. Of course, this information could be wrong. Jesus said that nobody knew the "day and hour" (Matthew 24:36). But, we are talking about a year. Jesus did not talk about a year. He might have purposely refrained from saying that nobody would know the "year" because he knew that God's Chosen Few would indeed know the year.
