Prologue
The PresentThe following account takes place a little over 7 years from now.I can't tell you how I know, but I do know that the words and descriptions you read here in the coming weeks and months are very close to what will actually transpire. I am no prophet. I am a chronicler.

The Event 001
It's cold, extremely cold. The Farmer's Almanac was correct, we will have the coldest winter since 1899. I am extremely grateful...
About a week ago, the day after Christmas, they all died. Died where they stood, sat or laid. No disease, no trauma they just stopped living. They quit like pulling a plug or popping out the batteries on the Energizer Bunny®.
They all died just like approximately 2 billion other souls that day. Here in the mountains it was 2:00 PM. On every continent, no race, no age, no gender was spared. And it was - still is - chaos.
My family is in the barn, wrapped in comforters and blankets. My dear wife, my children and a granddaughter. I can't bury them you see, it's too cold, the ground is frozen. In the Spring perhaps but for now I am extremely grateful.
I've been in meetings every day since the 26th. The first one was at Town Hall.
Police Chief Big Jim Taylor picked me up at about 5, he didn't look very big that day. Other police were there, half the fire department and the county coroner. They asked me: Why? What happened? Who did this? What do we do? I didn't tell them what happened or why - not yet anyway. Some do know the what and why, most don't. I tell them, First take care of the dead.
When I got home I went to the barn and prayed.
The next day was Concord and the Governors Council. The gov. was dead. Same questions, same answers from me. They are all mentally ill and it will take some time for them to recover - some won't.
I discuss mental health resources with the state director. He is concerned. I tell him to pray and find faith. He can't hear me.
On Friday she finally calls me directly. I say yes Madam President. ''What do you think, aliens''? She's still a fool after all my council.
I told her and her predecessor and her husband that it wouldn't be what everyone thinks. I used the words you will be amazed. Evidently a stronger word was in order. Astounded possibly. Indeed.
What I am speaking about is the Rapture of the Church.
Everything is as it should be in the present but things rarely happen just as we envision - no matter how clearly the message is transmitted. Even I am astounded and I was given this mission when I was 3.
I am blessed.
The friendly 'man' came to me in the fall of 1955. I called him Rock. He told me things. Myths and monsters, angels and wars - people, places, books and coming surprises. I can't say that I understood right then and there but I did get the picture in the fall of 1962.
'Duck! and Cover!' the teacher said. The missiles of October. We did that drill everyday. Miss Marks always looked worried...and scared. I told her that nothing will happen. She said, How do you know sweetie? God says it's not time yet. She believed.
I knew then. I remembered and understood everything Rock told me.

At Home and Away 003
At Home and Away 003
''Sometimes, even if you win, you lose, these battles of the soul and spirit.'' - Miguel Diocuore
I am home for one day. I have to prepare for another overseas adventure. I will be away for at least a week. I'm happy to be away from home.
I have made arrangements to have my family moved to an ancient mausoleum in Tamworth. I miss them.
I walk through my home. I look at the photographs. I look at my children, my wife, my parents. I look in all the bedrooms. I look at their empty clothes. I cry.
Tomorrow I must make yet another trip as the 'invisible man'. My transparency is about to end however. I don't look forward to the loss of it, not at all, anonymity is a great advantage. In early 2006 it was very helpful...
...The car arrives at 1:00pm. I will soon be flying out of Pease in Newington.
''Jerusalem a heavy weight
don’t miss the sign...
It’s too late
All who try to move it
are cut to pieces
A Sharon Rose
loses it’s thorns'' - Miguel Diocoure
At 5am I arrive at Ben-Gurion Airport. FM Silvan Shalom meets me we take a short drive to meet Sharon.
As I walk in the room I catch the PM out of the corner of my eye. He's looking at me like I'm the man of sin. Maybe I am. Grigori perhaps. I smile at the thought.
The true reason I suspect is that I'm a 'half-breed'. I am Jewish but only on my father's side. So in this man's eyes I could be worse than a goy. Plus I tell him things he doesn't want to know. I will tell Arik to go to his ranch this morning and stay there.
He won't like my message today. The Codes. They scare him as they do most who don't truly know. I'm here to present him with a full report on their authenticity. The research and the certification were done by the good folks at Langley. I helped...a bit.
I land back at Pease the next day. The world is a mess but it's the dark before the light.
My mission was a success. The PM accepted the report as true. He understood the 4 dimensional nature of the codes. He made the analogy of a Rubik's Cube and called the codes, the living code. He's is correct. He also announced his resignation. The ranch looks good.
...That was then. 7 years ago. Now I go to Washington and stand up.

They came from Babylon
They came from Babylon
What did those men say? Where did they come from? From a distant landThey came from Babylon
Falling without fallingburning without flameQueen without childrena place with no name
This time a chopper replaces the car. Time is of the essence no doubt.
I love to fly. If I were a bird, I'd be happy. The helicopter I'm flying in today is sleek, fast and quiet. It's a Bell 430. In a year or so my ride will be quite different.
The trip is uneventful. 2:41 am I land at Langley AFB.
I retrieve the packet of documents I need for my meeting with the President. Only 20 pages but the folder is heavy, even for me. I enter the White House through the 'backdoor' - the west tunnel.
Coffee? The President seems relaxed. I find that unusual, even strange. On election night back in '08 she was red in the face and practically rabid when she mistakenly thought she was going to lose to Newt Gingrich. Now with billions dead she acts like Doris Day. Perhaps death becomes her personality. Her husband will join us shortly. I'm very curious to observe his demeanor.
Jeff walks in the room. He's not feeling well.I'm the only person on this planet that calls him 'Jeff'. I hated this guy when I first met him. I was 10, he 16. My uncle from Marblehead decided I might benefit from a Washington trip. I stood off to the side with my Uncle Harold and Ambassador Kohart when Jeff met President Kennedy.
Jeff and I are friends now. I pity him. The next year will be terrifying for him but I can't help soften it. He's under the spell of his wife and I know her fate, he only senses it grayly.
Well Cap, congratulations. Thank you mam. The Code doesn't look too bad after all. It doesn't look bad to her because she can't see. I can, always could, hence the title CAPTAIN. I never get lost in the fog.
The one specific Code the president is interested in refers to China and her oil fields in the Gulf. I know what they say and I am to go to Beijing. From now on I am visible. Reminds me of the old sitcom:
Making your way in the world todayTakes everything you've got;Taking a break from all your worriesSure would help a lot.Wouldn't you like to get away...
...Sometimes you want to goWhere everybody knows your name

China's history is rich and varied. When Nixon came here in 1972 there were people like me who knew the role the communist nation would play in apocalyptic affairs in the early 21st Century, but not many. Indeed China's last act will be quite varied - completely unexpected. The Chinese have been allies of the United States since that visit (actually sometime before). It all started with a little kiss like this:
"none of our colleagues know that we have given you this information and nobody in our government except for the President and these people here know that we have given you this information. The intelligence people do not know that we have given you this information." --Kissinger to Chinese, February 23, 1972
American and European corporations plus Israel soon held hands and lined up. Wal-Mart was the icing on the cake.
I now go to eat that cake....all of it.
I am ushered politely into the ministry at 9:30am. Hun Whang greets me grimly. He offers tea, I refuse politely.
We have faired better than the rest, only 20% dead. I'm not surprised I say coldly, staring him down. China is already full of ghosts.
Are the aircraft ready for us? Yes the first allotment of 2133 planes are available to fly out now. Very good then, have them flown out to Utah tomorrow. We will. Good and keep them coming.
They will keep them coming all 18,000 of them.
I will be flying one myself. I will land at Andrews 25 minutes after I depart. These are no ordinary planes. They don't 'plane' through the air at all. They have six engines, four drivers and two that adjust the cabin environment for g-force. Very simple actually and easy to pilot. I can fly manually with computer assist or full auto pilot. All controls are voice actuated. The skin of the vehicle is a marvel. It can be set for any color, it can be made completely invisible to both the naked eye and and any sensor. There are no seams or rivets. When the doors shut the seems melt and disappear. The surface seems to be alive. My craft is brushed gold and it is visible.
The flight took just under 25 minutes and it was breathtaking.
At 2pm in the Rose Garden the President announces that she is appointing me as her Special Advisor. She seems pleased. I am happy to be closer to the enemy.
John Putnam Rogers, Presidential Advisor. Cap won't let you down Madam President or out of his sight either.
The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right. - Hannah Whitall Smith
Indeed, yes indeed Miss Smith, I will only plant the seed.

To Stand and Deliver
To Stand and Deliver
"Maybe that's why God made us kids first and built us close to the ground, because He knows you got to fall down a lot and bleed a lot before you learn that one simple lesson. You pay for what you get, you own what you pay for... and sooner or later whatever you own comes back home to you." - Stephen King,
"When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, 'Why god? Why me?' and the thundering voice of God answered, 'There's just something about you that pisses me off" - Stephen King
“You ought to let the Jews have Jerusalem; it was they who made it famous.” - Winston Churchill to diplomat Evelyn Shuckburgh, 1955
''That was some earthquake.'' - John P. Rogers to an IsraTV producer, as the Dome of the Rock disappeared.
What you own comes back to you in the fullness of time. I have been to Jerusalem more times than I can count. It's beautiful, dusty, hot, welcoming and EVIL - for now. Everybody wants it but given it they won't know what to do with it. Refusing to accept what's written on the title deed, the Capital of this planet earth has become a dead man.
I come today to talk, again, about land and the high-tech advancements soon to come upon us all - the mojo magic- as it were. And I must make some mention of the dead still littering the land.
Besides the technology of the flying machines being delivered to Utah today ( and Gold coup flown here by me today), their base technology is being spun off into every area of human life. Remember memory metal 20 or 30 years ago? This is a continuation of that very same technology. Every technology ever imagined on Star Trek and Star Wars will be re-imagined and brought forth to the human race but in His time(his day actually).
Want to know how telepathy works?
How about that food replicator you've always wanted?
Want the ability to make your body's cells draw energy and dance to instantiously to heal your body?
And the perennial (or millennial) favorite - use your mind to manipulate mass and matter.
God gives up His secrets soon. Some, the ones who's discarded bodies lay were they fell, already know the secrets of the Creator.
[I must stop and make a point here. An important one that can't be over looked:
Parallels between the recent Star Wars film and New Age theology is strong. What does the Bible say about such things?
* Anakin (anakim, sons of Anak) were supernaturally conceived of Satan or demons according to Biblical and extra-biblical histories.
* As Jesus was the divinely conceived "seed of the woman," the Antichrist will be the "seed of the serpent," i.e. the son of Satan or demons.
* The Antichrist will nevertheless present himself as an enlightened world teacher or savior.
* The God of the Antichrist will be "the God of Forces" (Dan. 11:38), also known in antiquity as Baalhazor, the god of munitions and war and protector of fortresses.
Star Wars and many other films (& songs, books) can be seen as satanic propaganda tools or for others just a heads up.]

He speaks to them
He speaks to them
I am speaking to Parliament in just a few minutes.....about the dead, the living and the future. I don't know exactly what to say. I'll have to wing it. I think of President Lincoln, Winston Churchill and Daniel Webster.
I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crises. The great point is to bring them the real facts. - President Abraham Lincoln
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am very happy to be here today, to address the problems we face and perhaps shine a light.
As I was waiting to come out here just now I wondered what I would say. The old advice is stick with what you know. So I remembered this man.
I'm going to relate, summarize really, a story from my home state of New Hampshire, about her favorite son Daniel Webster. The story is fictional but it highlights his true character.
It's The Devil and Daniel Webster. It is a short story by Steven Vincent Benét.
The story is about a New Hampshire farmer in the early 1800's with unending bad luck. Jabez Stone swears that "it's enough to make a man want to sell his soul to the devil!" When Mr. Scratch (the Devil) arrives the next day, the farmer reluctantly makes a bargain for better luck. Mr. Stone enjoys seven years of prosperity, and later bargains for three more years, but as the "mortgage falls due," he convinces famous lawyer and orator Daniel Webster to argue his case with the Devil.
"I'd Fight 10,000 Devils to Save One New Hampshire Man...'' says Daniel Webster during the trail of Jabez Stone, the unlucky man to bargains with the devil.
The story portrays the devil as polite and refined. When the devil arrives he is described as "a soft-spoken, dark-dressed stranger," who "drove up in a handsome buggy." Benét named the devil Mr. Scratch but often referred to him as the stranger, writing passages such as "The stranger looked a little embarrassed." The Devil never threatens, and always acts politely, even shaking hands with Daniel Webster in the end.
A friendly stranger. A helpful alien I might say.
I go on for another 20 minutes. I have their attention now.
I finish...You see ladies and gentlemen Mr. Webster, Daniel Webster beat the devil with a jury of his peers, a jury from the very depths of hell. I tell you, be careful of that smiling stranger that comes to you with an offer you cannot refuse because you will take it and for things to be just I must warn you for the 3rd time....and the last.
Silence.
I know that they cannot resist the devil but you know that's just how things are.
This evening I go see the liar.

He will see you now.
With that I enter an office that's a cross between my lawyer's office and the NASA Control bunker. He sits, not rising to greet me, he waves his Havana at me puts it back in his mouth and bites down hard.
Hello John. It's so good to see you. You're looking fit considering your new duties.
It is good to see you also Simon. Yes and considering the 2 billion deaths, I'm chipper as Mickey Mouse.
Yes, all those good people dead. Were did they go John?
Where all those who pass on go - to sleep - they sleep until woken, right?
Specifically.
Makes no difference to me at this moment. Let's talk Jerusalem.
You were in Jerusalem this morning snowing the Jews, if you don't mind me saying so. Why would you tell them ahead of time that they would believe a lie? Will they believe the lie now?
You apparently forgot the Pharaoh's hardened heart and who hardened it. It's kind of like healing with a touch, it's the faith that heals you. Faith is a key and so is delusion.
Yes, yes John.
And if you don't mind me saying so, you will bring a blizzard upon Israel when you are there.
[Puts down his cigar, smiles] Well John you are an observer to our little stage play. I know you, you know me, why fence around the point without a point? Scared?
I'm always afraid for man. The angels have made their beds, chosen sides. I save physical lives by being led and by finding ways to compress time.
Ho Ha Hee! Save physical lives. [He cackles like a crone] You lost by 2 billion this month boy! And 'save physical lives' . You are careful not to step on your Master's toes.
Your Master also Simon.
We will see about that - boy.
The delusion has you too and your temporary master. How many times has the warning been issued? No matter this is your last warning.
Be that as it may Jolly Roger, you are serving two presidents. How goes that?
One is your better half and is so fooled by fooling that they are nearly psychotic. Let's hope they hold together to finish up the third act.
No worries little man.
And the one you serve?
The beautiful one? He's drooling...
Yes I know, I have seen him.
Indeed, where?
In REM sleep - crystal dreams and visions
What are you turning into John? Is God promoting you?
Your flattery and your presence is like an outhouse, I may need to go to you but I can't wait to leave.
John. You take care now, say hello to the Gemini presidents.
Good-bye Simon
I leave his evil gaze but the evil is dripping off of me like maple syrup mixed with camel shit. I go directly to my hotel room and shower until my skin prunes up.

The visionary lies to himself, the liar only to others.He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.In heaven all the interesting people are missing
God is dead.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
He will see you now.
With that I enter an office that's a cross between my lawyer's office and the NASA Control bunker. He sits, not rising to greet me, he waves his Havana at me puts it back in his mouth and bites down hard.
Hello John. It's so good to see you. You're looking fit considering your new duties.
It is good to see you also Simon. Yes and considering the 2 billion deaths, I'm chipper as Mickey Mouse.
Yes, all those good people dead. Were did they go John?
Where all those who pass on go - to sleep - they sleep until woken, right?
Specifically.
Makes no difference to me at this moment. Let's talk Jerusalem.
You were in Jerusalem this morning snowing the Jews, if you don't mind me saying so. Why would you tell them ahead of time that they would believe a lie? Will they believe the lie now?
You apparently forgot the Pharaoh's hardened heart and who hardened it. It's kind of like healing with a touch, it's the faith that heals you. Faith is a key and so is delusion.
Yes, yes John.
And if you don't mind me saying so, you will bring a blizzard upon Israel when you are there.
[Puts down his cigar, smiles] Well John you are an observer to our little stage play. I know you, you know me, why fence around the point without a point? Scared?
I'm always afraid for man. The angels have made their beds, chosen sides. I save physical lives by being led and by finding ways to compress time.
Ho Ha Hee! Save physical lives. [He cackles like a crone] You lost by 2 billion this month boy! And 'save physical lives' . You are careful not to step on your Master's toes.
Your Master also Simon.
We will see about that - boy.
The delusion has you too and your temporary master. How many times has the warning been issued? No matter this is your last warning.
Be that as it may Jolly Roger, you are serving two presidents. How goes that?
One is your better half and is so fooled by fooling that they are nearly psychotic. Let's hope they hold together to finish up the third act.
No worries little man.
And the one you serve?
The beautiful one? He's drooling...
Yes I know, I have seen him.
Indeed, where?
In REM sleep - crystal dreams and visions
What are you turning into John? Is God promoting you?
Your flattery and your presence is like an outhouse, I may need to go to you but I can't wait to leave.
John. You take care now, say hello to the Gemini presidents.
Good-bye Simon

Coming to an end
Coming to an end
Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. - Ruteger Hauer in Blade Runner
Malcolm Muggeridge said, "The basic condition for a civilization is that there should be law and order. Obviously this is coming to an end. The world is falling into chaos, even perhaps especially our western world... There are many other symptoms. The excessive interest in eroticism is characteristic of the end of a civilization because it really means a growing impotence, and fear of impotence. Then the excessive need for excitement, vicarious excitement, which of course the games provided for the Romans and which television provides for our population. Even the enormously complicated structure of taxation and administration is a symptom of the end of the civilization. Above all, there is this truly terrible thing which afflicts materialist societies - boredom, an excessive boredom which I note on every hand."
''I'm bored'' cries the child or the adult. Boredom is idleness or it can be brought on by idleness of mind. It usually is a sign that we should change our direction - do something new.
Most people in the media who have seen it all stand in awe of changes in recent years. They realize that something unique in the history is happening today. And what's most incredible is the breakneck pace of these recent developments.
Look:
Events in the Middle East.
The changing ecosystem of the planet
Changing climate and weather patterns worldwide.
The speed of technological advancements.
The lowering of ethical and moral values.
The weakening influence of our churches and their leaders - apostasy
The world has entered a time of dramatic change. At present the planet is in crises. I find that more often than not people are uncaring as to why the 2 billion died. We have reached the day which the prophet had in mind when he wrote, Woe unto them who call evil good and good evil. - Isaiah 5:20 And that's it, the water is going down the drain backwards. It is as it should be, can't be any other.
So we enter the time of signs, wonders and miracles. How do we know the signs are from God or from satan? I want to scream the following to the 2/3 left alive:
And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. - Isa. 18:19, 20
Most will mock until it's too late but I will do my best. My very best.

Fly me to the moon Vimana
Fly me to the moon Vimana
History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time; it illumines reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life and brings us tidings of antiquity. - Cicero
To more easily describe the aircraft in Utah and the one I am flying I will go to the past, for a lively description about this little known history.
The Vedic literature of India, contains many descriptions of flying machines that are generally called vimanas. These fall into two categories: manmade craft that resemble airplanes and fly with the aid of birdlike wings, and cylinder, disc like structures that fly in a mysterious manner and are generally not made by human beings.
In the ancient documents, written in Sanskrit, especially one called "Vimanika", written by Bharadvajy and found in 1875 inside an old Indian temple, describe how to build "vimanas", a celestial chariot, how to pilot one and so on. In other documents it is said that certain gods traveled and ruled everywhere on their vimanas.
The Ramayana describes a Vimana as a double-deck, circular (cylindrical) aircraft with portholes and a dome. It flew with the speed of the wind and gave forth a melodious sound (a humming noise?). Ancient Indian texts on Vimanas are so numerous it would take several books to relate what they have to say. The ancient Indians themselves wrote entire flight manuals on the control of various types of Vimanas, of which there were basically four: the Shakuna Vimana, the Sundara Vimana, the Rukma Vimana and the Tripura Vimana.
From another ancient manuscript concerning the Vimanas: The secret of constructing airplanes, which will not break, which cannot be cut, will not catch fire, and cannot be destroyed. The secret of making planes motionless. The secret of making planes invisible. The secret of hearing conversations and other sounds in enemy planes. The secret of receiving photographs of the interior of enemy planes. The secret of ascertaining the direction of enemy planes approach. The secret of making persons in enemy planes lose consciousness. The secret of destroying enemy planes. Sanskrit texts are filled with references to gods who fought battles in the sky using Vimanas equipped with weapons as deadly as any we can deploy in these more enlightened times. For example, there is a passage in the Ramayana which reads: ''The Puspaka car that resembles the Sun and belongs to my brother was brought by the powerful Ravan; that aerial and excellent car going everywhere at will.... that car resembling a bright cloud in the sky''.
Compelling but seeing is indeed, believing.
But perhaps the most disturbing and challenging, information about these allegedly mythical Vihmanas in the ancient records is that there are some matter-of-fact records, describing how to build one. In their way, the instructions are quite precise.
In the Laws of the Babylonians it states quite unambiguously: ''The privilege of operating a flying machine is great. The knowledge of flight is among the most ancient of our inheritances. A gift from 'those from upon high'. We received it from them as a means of saving many lives.''
Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking. - Ezekiel 1:28
The Hebrew prophet Ezekiel was a captive of Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, and was transported to Mesopotamia (Iraq) in 597 BCE. On four occasions he had visions that some writers think were of extraterrestrial vehicles. These are recounted in Chapters 1, 8, 10, and 43. The first description reads in part as follows: 'A whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the mist thereof as the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire.' From this, Joseph F. Blumrich, a senior executive at NASA's Marshall Spaceflight Center, reconstructed the 'spacecraft' Ezekiel saw: according to Blumrich, it was an elaborate device like a quadruple helicopter.
While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel and making my request to the LORD my God for his holy hill while I was still in prayer, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice. Daniel 9:20-21
He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them - Psalm 78:49
That is how angels fly. The wing are only a symbol.
Now mankind has the machines, but for how long?
Soon I will take my machine to 27-59-16 N 86-56-40 E I am told to park it at precisely 298 feet.

I've sat perhaps a minute, I smell a rose. A rose in a garden after a thunderstorm - ozone - April fresh. Now a slight fog fills the cabin. The mist disappears in a fraction of a second. He is here.
I haven't spoken to him in person since I was 3 years old but I have a millions times in my mind. He smiles and says Shalom Brother John. I say, Shalom my Master. We don't speak for a minute or so, he is calming me and preparing me for what he has to say.....

His wisdom is profound, his power is vast. Who has resisted him and come out unscathed?He moves mountains without their knowing it and overturns them in his anger. He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble. He speaks to the sun and it does not shine; he seals off the light of the stars. He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea. He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.
- Job 9
Now I know what to do and when to do it. In my brief visit with him I have been restored, made whole.
I have much to do but I was ordered to go home to rest for 3 days. At home I lay down and sleep for 74 hours.
I felt better before I went to sleep but I'm just slow to wake fully. It's time to shake a leg, get moving. I speak to the president and then to her Chief of Staff. I will arrive in Washington within the hour.

Ezekiel 38:14-23
"Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: In that day, when my people Israel are living in safety, will you not take notice of it? You will come from your place in the far north, you and many nations with you, all of them riding on horses, a great horde, a mighty army. You will advance against my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land. In days to come, O Gog, I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me when I show myself holy through you before their eyes.
" 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Are you not the one I spoke of in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel? At that time they prophesied for years that I would bring you against them. This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign LORD. In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. The fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground. I will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign LORD. Every man's sword will be against his brother. I will execute judgment upon him with plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him. And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.'
And so it is as I land in the Capitol of Babylon.

''President George W. Bush has asked Russia, the linchpin in the Ezekiel 38 Gog/Magog prophecy, to intervene in the Iranian nuclear situation.
President George W. Bush recently said he would rely on Russian President Vladimir Putin to help bring Iran to its senses regarding its nuclear program. But Russia is neck deep with the Iranians in helping them develop nuclear technology. It seems as though superpowers such as the U.S. and Britain are at a loss on how to handle Iran and are blinded by the obvious relationships already in place.
Ezekiel 38 speaks of bringing Gog of the land of MaGog (which is Eastern Russia, Western China), Persia (Iran), Libya and Ethiopia (Both the Northern span of Africa) and other nations against Israel. Those who are named in the Ezekiel 38 Gog/Magog prophecy are deeply involved in helping Iran develop nuclear capabilities, and the West, including America and Europe, is relying on them to resolve the matter. Meantime, Iranian President Mahmoud Amadinejad has said that the Jews should be wiped off the face of the earth. To this end, Iran has given safe haven to Hezbollah, al Qaeda, and other Islamic terrorist groups....''

Toward Evil
Toward Evil
Diving toward evil in 2013, I'm stopping to add an essay from 2004.
I shake and feel fearful around certain people. I sense an evil presence coming from them that's very real. It's an aura more than a thing. You know it by your own feelings and you want to stay away from it. Or can you be attracted to it at the same time?
Evil is the essence of human beings. Didn't Jesus say, "But if you, who are evil, wouldn't give your child a stone instead of bread, how much more will God give you good things"?
In today's world it seems appropriate to ask what we mean by "evil." Here are the ideas of a variety of thoughtful people. I can't claim them to be a random cross-section of the population. Mostly they are people with at least a high school education, middle class, and a wide variety of ages, from early teens through older adult. Several ethnic backgrounds are represented. Theologically, these are people who hold a variety of secular and Christian positions.In the following statements, "I" refers to the speaker being quoted or paraphrased. It does not refer to the compiler of this article. Each paragraph represents a different respondent. In most cases, people were not responding specifically to the questions in the headings. The headings are simply a way to organize the wide range of material.
What is evil, anyway? And is there a difference between evil and sin?
Evil is a rebellion against the good things of God and God's creation. Evil seems more than sin. Evil is something that is done but also seems to be an existence outside us. Our minds can't comprehend reality without placing things in opposition. Hate exists in order that we might see compassion. If we simply feel hate and allow its reality to illuminate compassion, no violence is done. But our small minds focus energy upon hate and feed it, resulting in violence. Through our own free will, we create violence and cruelty. God is present everywhere, so God is present even in violence and cruelty. But every evil act ends, and in its place arises compassion and love, or at least the yearning for them.
Sin is stupidity or habit or blindness. Evil is intentional. Evil is the essence of human beings. Didn't Jesus say, "But if you, who are evil, wouldn't give your child a stone instead of bread, how much more will God give you good things"?
I shake and feel fearful around certain people. I sense an evil presence coming from them that's very real. It's an aura more than a thing. You know it by your own feelings and you want to stay away from it.
Evil is causing harm or ill-will to another being against her or his will. Sin is brokenness, or estrangement from God and others and the created world. But evil seems to be something more; maybe a composite of sins or systemic sins.Evil is actions, attitudes, and beliefs that destroy life in all its forms. It's unmerited, unjustified suffering. Evil is what detracts from the integrity of the world.
Evil is waste of any kind.
Evil is the absence of awe.
Sin is failing to do something that could have made the world better. Evil is deliberately choosing to do something that will bring hurt.
I read in Bill Williams' book Naked Before God that evil is like dissonant notes in music. We don't eradicate these notes, but we add more notes to them so that they become beautiful music. Therefore evil is an incomplete state or unfinished reality.Evil is what takes away the abundance of life. It's desiring the opposite of the highest good. Yet it's really hard to pin down what is good and what is bad.Sin and evil are of two kinds: personal and systemic. Systemic sin and evil involve human institutions. Individuals participate in these institutions, but they have a kind of life of their own in which evil is spread around even though individuals don't want that to happen. Problems like world hunger, nuclear war, poverty, violent crime, racism - these are evil things that are beyond the control of an individual. Together we could overcome them but we don't seem to be able to work together to do so.
Is evil a force equivalent to, but opposite from, God, or does God encompass it somehow?
Evil has been given metaphysical status for a long time. Does it "soften" evil too much to deny it metaphysical status? Does insisting that it's a force equivalent to God help us to take responsibility for it more appropriately? Does insisting that it's the result of ignorance, greed, and other human failings help us take responsibility?I don't believe that there is an evil entity that is separate from God. God encompasses all that is, and that must include evil somehow. I don't have a sense of God as a good being who is battling Satan, an evil being. Whatever evil is, it is part of God. An instructor I had used to say that maybe evil is that which is far from the heart of God.
I believe that there are "principalities and powers" that wage war against the power of God, but my view of salvation also holds that God, through Jesus, has overcome the principalities and powers even though there continue to be skirmishes. Evil is the active absence of good; it's not a power equivalent to God.
Evil must somehow be within the encompassing realm of God, or life would be totally fearsome and unmanageable. It often seems that evil is outside of God, and we become so focused on the evil that is done to us that we lose sight of the awareness that God is bigger and more powerful than anything else. Sometimes we wonder who is winning the struggle. We need to remember God's transcendence.Evil is a force at work in our world; the sinister side of the good. Evil is a force and it has power, but the good Creator and Love has a power that always supersedes the ravages of evil. I believe that evil can always be conquered; that evil never "wins" even though evil is devastating. When love is present, evil is incapacitated.
God is infinite, so God must contain evil and also everything else we can't understand. Infinity presupposes that everything is included.
Evil is not outside of God's influence or realm as an opposite force. Evil was a possibility when God took the risk to create, and God created, knowing that and not being overwhelmed by it as we often are.
Are natural disasters evil, or is evil something only humans "do"?
Evil shows itself in many forms; the worst form being what human beings do to each other. There does seem to be a "dark" side to God's good creation. I don't understand why. Even creation seems to have free will. I don't think God sends hurricanes and earthquakes to punish people, and I don't believe God sends people cancer or other calamities. But this is part of our reality and it evokes a lot of questions that can't really be answered. We live in a good but imperfect world.
Non-humans can't be evil. Evil has no power without human cooperation.I don't believe that the non-human world is evil. It doesn't have choices the way humans do. For an act to be evil, there has to be an intention to harm. It's also interesting that science is discovering that natural calamities like hurricanes, earthquakes, and tornadoes have a vital function in sustaining life on earth. For example, certain compounds necessary for life are released into the atmosphere through natural disasters that are not present in any other form. This mixture of creativity and destruction is hard to fathom.
Is evil a force outside our world, or is it in us?
We all have the capacity within us to do evil. In fact, we all have the capacity to do the most evil things that have ever been done.
Evil is a force outside us, and in us too. I believe that evil can possess a person against their will and cause them to do things, like run over someone with a bus, so that Satan can destroy that person. When evil wants to destroy someone, especially a Christian, it will use all kinds of methods to accomplish its ends. And when a person cooperates with evil, that is even worse.
We need to identify and name evil when we see it, but that also needs to be done within ourselves. Too often we see evil as only something "out there." We need a healthy awareness that evil is also within us, but that the seed of God is growing and has more power than any evil.
I don't know how to think about the relationship between evil and the shadow side of humans that is normal and important. I do think that as humanity progresses, evil will be lessened.
Why do people have such different ideas of what actions are evil? Is there any objective reality to evil, or is it just dependent on a person's perspective?
I believe in the need to delve into the dark places of oneself, meet the shadow, embrace it and know that it holds gifts as well as dangers. It is in us all. We project our inner darkness onto the other, and we do that individually as well as nationally. I agree with Jung that the hope for the world to avoid disaster rests in each individual's choice to pursue the inner journey.Humans would probably agree that there are some things that are rather universally considered wrong, evil, or bad, even if we couldn't agree on exactly what they mean or the conditions that have to be present. But that says more to me about the inherent goodness of humans than it does about evil. Evil has an objective reality but it manifests differently in each of us, the way God does. Our unique personalities, histories, and thoughts cause us to understand and name evil differently.
There is a relative nature to evil. We tend to label an action "evil" when done by an enemy, while the same thing done by us or our group may be called "freedom fighting" or "just war" or "self-defense" or any of a host of other less dire labels. It is hard for us to acknowledge the evil within ourselves. We tend to see it more in others, especially our enemies.
What causes people to do things that are seen as evil?
Evil is about ignorance. It's worse if we could have known better but didn't bother, than if there's no way we could have known.
People are created in God's image, so they have to be good at their core. Because we are created with free will, we make choices that separate us from the relationship God desires to have with us. Because of woundedness in individuals, systems, structures, families, churches, society, and so on, people sometimes seem "controlled" by something that feels evil. . .the antithesis of the good.
I saw a bumper sticker that said "Evil thrives when God's people do nothing." This gives humans a lot of power over evil. What would it look like to have humans doing things that give evil a "failure to thrive"? The power of love unleashed in our world profoundly confronts the force of evil.
Fear is at the heart of all that we call sin and evil. I believe there are only two emotional realities: love and fear. But for me, love is greater than all fear. It will reign in the end.
Once I know about my demons, I don't wipe them on others. We do evil things because of our unexamined issues, our wounds, and our lack of awareness.
There's a combination of factors like ignorance, greed, denial, apathy, and laziness that come together into a force that takes us away from our true face and God's hopes for the world. This force is behind the evil things for which individuals and world systems are responsible.
Some intriguing thoughts about evil (quoted or paraphrased) by the authors cited.
All the things we usually consider opposites, such as past and future, good and evil, pain and pleasure,
"...are actually just like the crest and trough of a single wave. . . .For a wave, although a single event, only expresses itself through the opposites of crest and trough, high point and low point. For that very reason, the reality is not found in the crest alone nor in the trough alone, but in their unity (try to imagine a wave with crests but no troughs). Crest and trough-indeed all opposites-are inseparable aspects of one underlying activity. . . ."
"Perhaps we can begin to understand why life, when viewed as a world of separate opposites, is so totally frustrating, and why progress has actually become not a growth but a cancer. In trying to separate the opposites and cling to those we judge positive, such as pleasure without pain, life without death, good without evil, we are really striving after phantoms without the least reality. Might as well strive for a world of crests and no troughs, buyers and no sellers, lefts and no rights, ins and no outs." (Ken Wilber, No Boundary)
"Out beyond the ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoingthere is a field.Come. I will meet you there."(Maulana Jalalu-'d-din Rumi)
"The desires of a single pair of aphids, if satisfied, would destroy the Earth. After only a single year such aphids would generate over half a trillion offspring. The same could be said for the majority of the insects and, in a related sense, much of life. Their desires to unfold into being are immense, while the energy of the Earth is finite. To energize those aphids means to remove energy from other regions, from other beings, and for those others to perish. Each being in the universe longs for the free energy necessary for survival and development. Each existence requires extinction. The consequent history of violence in the universe is as inevitable as the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Sun. . . ."
"Within self-reflexive consciousness, terror becomes aware of itself. With such conscious self-awareness, life understands that it is precious and liable to destruction. It is out of this new depth of fear that humans devoted themselves to eliminating violence and destruction. A new kind of insecurity emerged in the universe with humans. . . ."
"The determination to dominate the universe so that all insecurity, limitation, destruction, and threat of destruction could be eliminated eventuated in racism, militarism, sexism, and anthropocentrism, dysfunctional maneuvers of the human species in its quest to deal with what it regarded as the unacceptable aspects of the universe." (Thomas Berry and Brian Swimme, The Universe Story)
"Satan, Lucifer, and the other demonic figures. . .are psychologically necessary. They had to be invented, had to be created, in order to make human action and freedom possible. Otherwise, there would be no consciousness. For every thought destroys as it creates: to think this thing, I have to cut out something else; to say 'yes' to this is to say ' no' to that. . . .Thus, the hope that Satan or the other 'adversaries' can be gotten rid of by gradual process toward perfection, would not be a constructive idea even if it were possible. . . .The goal of perfectibility is a bastardized concept smuggled into ethics from technology, and results from a confusion between the two."(Rollo May, Love and Will)
". . .I prefer to regard [demons] as the impersonal spiritual realities at the center of institutional life. Think, for example, or a riot at a soccer game, in which, for a few frenzied minutes, people who in their ordinary lives behave quite decently on the whole suddenly find themselves bludgeoning and even killing opponents whose only sin was rooting for the other team. Afterwards people often act bewildered, and wonder what could have possessed them. Was it a Riot Demon that leaped upon them from the sky, or was it something intrinsic to the social situation: a 'spirituality' that crystallized suddenly, precipitated by the conjunction of an outer permissiveness, heavy drinking, a violent ethos, a triggering incident, and the inner violence of the fans?. . . "Frankly, most of us, myself included, simply do not want to believe in radical evil. The implications are too terrible. . . .Evil is within us (in Jungian terms, the personal 'shadow') and among us (as collective 'shadow'), but much of that can be raised to consciousness and transformed. We are speaking now of a deeper evil-a layer of sludge beneath the murky waters that can be characterized only as a hellish hatred of the light, of truth, of kindness and compassion, a brute lust for annihilation. It is the sedimentation of thousands of years of human choices for evil (not wrong choices merely, but actual choices for evil) that has precipitated Satan as the spirituality of evil." (Brubaker 2002)(Walter Wink, Engaging the Powers)
Diving toward evil in 2013, I'm stopping to add an essay from 2004.
I shake and feel fearful around certain people. I sense an evil presence coming from them that's very real. It's an aura more than a thing. You know it by your own feelings and you want to stay away from it. Or can you be attracted to it at the same time?
Evil is the essence of human beings. Didn't Jesus say, "But if you, who are evil, wouldn't give your child a stone instead of bread, how much more will God give you good things"?
In today's world it seems appropriate to ask what we mean by "evil." Here are the ideas of a variety of thoughtful people. I can't claim them to be a random cross-section of the population. Mostly they are people with at least a high school education, middle class, and a wide variety of ages, from early teens through older adult. Several ethnic backgrounds are represented. Theologically, these are people who hold a variety of secular and Christian positions.In the following statements, "I" refers to the speaker being quoted or paraphrased. It does not refer to the compiler of this article. Each paragraph represents a different respondent. In most cases, people were not responding specifically to the questions in the headings. The headings are simply a way to organize the wide range of material.
What is evil, anyway? And is there a difference between evil and sin?
Evil is a rebellion against the good things of God and God's creation. Evil seems more than sin. Evil is something that is done but also seems to be an existence outside us. Our minds can't comprehend reality without placing things in opposition. Hate exists in order that we might see compassion. If we simply feel hate and allow its reality to illuminate compassion, no violence is done. But our small minds focus energy upon hate and feed it, resulting in violence. Through our own free will, we create violence and cruelty. God is present everywhere, so God is present even in violence and cruelty. But every evil act ends, and in its place arises compassion and love, or at least the yearning for them.
Sin is stupidity or habit or blindness. Evil is intentional. Evil is the essence of human beings. Didn't Jesus say, "But if you, who are evil, wouldn't give your child a stone instead of bread, how much more will God give you good things"?
I shake and feel fearful around certain people. I sense an evil presence coming from them that's very real. It's an aura more than a thing. You know it by your own feelings and you want to stay away from it.
Evil is causing harm or ill-will to another being against her or his will. Sin is brokenness, or estrangement from God and others and the created world. But evil seems to be something more; maybe a composite of sins or systemic sins.Evil is actions, attitudes, and beliefs that destroy life in all its forms. It's unmerited, unjustified suffering. Evil is what detracts from the integrity of the world.
Evil is waste of any kind.
Evil is the absence of awe.
Sin is failing to do something that could have made the world better. Evil is deliberately choosing to do something that will bring hurt.
I read in Bill Williams' book Naked Before God that evil is like dissonant notes in music. We don't eradicate these notes, but we add more notes to them so that they become beautiful music. Therefore evil is an incomplete state or unfinished reality.Evil is what takes away the abundance of life. It's desiring the opposite of the highest good. Yet it's really hard to pin down what is good and what is bad.Sin and evil are of two kinds: personal and systemic. Systemic sin and evil involve human institutions. Individuals participate in these institutions, but they have a kind of life of their own in which evil is spread around even though individuals don't want that to happen. Problems like world hunger, nuclear war, poverty, violent crime, racism - these are evil things that are beyond the control of an individual. Together we could overcome them but we don't seem to be able to work together to do so.
Is evil a force equivalent to, but opposite from, God, or does God encompass it somehow?
Evil has been given metaphysical status for a long time. Does it "soften" evil too much to deny it metaphysical status? Does insisting that it's a force equivalent to God help us to take responsibility for it more appropriately? Does insisting that it's the result of ignorance, greed, and other human failings help us take responsibility?I don't believe that there is an evil entity that is separate from God. God encompasses all that is, and that must include evil somehow. I don't have a sense of God as a good being who is battling Satan, an evil being. Whatever evil is, it is part of God. An instructor I had used to say that maybe evil is that which is far from the heart of God.

''My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow my self to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice… And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows . For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people.... Let us pray in this hour that nothing can divide us, and that God will help us against the Devil! Almighty Lord, bless our fight!....I believe today that I am acting in the sense of the Almighty Creator. By warding off the Jews I am fighting for the Lord's work''. -THE Anti-Christ
Nothing new there. Can you spot the delusion between the lines?
''A sincere diplomat is like dry water or wooden iron. Death solves all problems - no man, no problem. Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed. Everyone imposes his own system as far as his army can reach. Gratitude is a sickness suffered by dogs. History shows that there are no invincible armies. Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas. If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a "peace conference," you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and airplanes. If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves. In the Soviet army it takes more courage to retreat than advance. It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything. Mankind is divided into rich and poor, into property owners and exploited; and to abstract oneself from this fundamental division ;and from the antagonism between poor and rich means abstracting oneself from fundamental facts. One death is a tragedy; a million is a statistic. Print is the sharpest and the strongest weapon of our party. The death of one man is a tragedy. The Pope? How many divisions has he got? The writer is the engineer of the human soul. When we hang the capitalists they will sell us the rope we use''. - An Anti-Christ

It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow my self to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice… And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows . For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people.... Let us pray in this hour that nothing can divide us, and that God will help us against the Devil! Almighty Lord, bless our fight!....I believe today that I am acting in the sense of the Almighty Creator. By warding off the Jews I am fighting for the Lord's work''. -THE Anti-Christ
Nothing new there. Can you spot the delusion between the lines?
''A sincere diplomat is like dry water or wooden iron. Death solves all problems - no man, no problem. Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed. Everyone imposes his own system as far as his army can reach. Gratitude is a sickness suffered by dogs. History shows that there are no invincible armies. Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas. If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a "peace conference," you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and airplanes. If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves. In the Soviet army it takes more courage to retreat than advance. It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything. Mankind is divided into rich and poor, into property owners and exploited; and to abstract oneself from this fundamental division ;and from the antagonism between poor and rich means abstracting oneself from fundamental facts. One death is a tragedy; a million is a statistic. Print is the sharpest and the strongest weapon of our party. The death of one man is a tragedy. The Pope? How many divisions has he got? The writer is the engineer of the human soul. When we hang the capitalists they will sell us the rope we use''. - An Anti-Christ
The Christ Anti King
Behold
hells bells of the holocaust ring
for the bringer of death
for the christ anti king.
Let the heads be bowed
let the multitudes confess
let the rat race be stilled
in the midst of unrest
see the hip cats
and square cats
do their thing
the masses
they boogie
with the christ anti king.
He's the destroyer of youth
the lord of diverse perversion
the beast of many faces
Beware the devils potions
and the devil's songs they sing
in the days of Armageddon
come the christ anti king

The Meetings - The Happenings - The Plans
War is not an end unto itself, except in some catastrophic slide into absolute damnation. It's peace that's desired. Some better peace than the peace you started with. - Miguel Diocuore
The president gathered her closest advisers at Camp David to discuss the shape of the coming war. Much of their discussion dealt with the Middle East. But during a session that first morning, according to Mr. Smith, the Defense Secretary, advocated an attack on Jerusalem, perhaps even before an attack on Japan. There was a 10 to 50 percent chance that Japan had been involved in the deaths, he argued, concluding that Tochigi's " 'cracked', oppressive regime" might succumb easily to an American attack-in contrast to the difficulties involved in prosecuting war in the mountains of Israel.Sitting across the table, I was 'appalled'. To attack Japan without clear evidence of Tochigi's involvement in 2 billion deaths would drive America's allies away, I argued. Much better to go after Israel's obvious state sponsor, the anti-Christ. If that went well, it would only enhance America's ability to oust Tochigi later. In front of her advisers at Camp David, and in later meetings at the Pentagon, I convinced them to obliterate the world capital - Jerusalem.
I have achieved my first goal which was to have the primary target be Jerusalem not Japan. Now my second and last goal - massive force being applied to that small area.
My last day in Washington. The president greets me personally for the briefing. The briefing is to finalize the plan. Secretary Smith is the only other participant. Smith says that we can destroy the city with 3 of the 'UltraFighters' (like the one I drive). It takes me nearly 45 min to convince them to use 2,000 vehicles. I knew they would. I had to tell them that 100 sq km must be melted to black glass. They liked that and I tell them the particle beam weapons will do that and that this would be best accomplished by surrounding the city at a distance of 230 km.
I leave very happy that this attack will be one big surprise to these nasty people.
The 'final assault' on the City of Peace will go off in 21 days. I still have miles to go before I sleep.

Starry, starry nights
Starry, starry nights
Starry, starry night.Flaming flowers that brightly blaze,Swirling clouds in violet haze,Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain,Weathered faces lined in pain,Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand. Now I understand what you tried to say to me,How you suffered for your sanity,How you tried to set them free.They would not listen, they did not know how.Perhaps they'll listen now.
-Don McLean
I drive off into the sunset then into blackness, just to ride-in- fly and think. I love to fly, especially alone. I have enough power in my little machine to go to Jupiter and back. I settle for the Sea of Tranquility. 'One giant leap' but what kind of leap? Technological?, spiritual? A delusion or more rightly a set-up for a delusion. It's working well I'd say when a nation(s) thinks it can defeat the supernatural with the material, 4 dimensions against 5. My bird settles on the lunar dust silently. The view is awesome. Flying in space is like sailing on the ocean on a moonless night. Sitting on the surface of an airless planetoid sets the blackness off. The stars, millions seen in just one quadrant. The stars.
The stars - fiery stones that the angels step upon, that very soon we will travel to, back and forth.
Job 38
The LORD Speaks
Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm. He said:
"Who is this that darkens my counsel with words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me. "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone- while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy? "Who shut up the sea behind doors when it burst forth from the womb, when I made the clouds its garment and wrapped it in thick darkness, when I fixed limits for it and set its doors and bars in place, when I said, 'This far you may come and no farther; here is where your proud waves halt'? "Have you ever given orders to the morning, or shown the dawn its place, that it might take the earth by the edges and shake the wicked out of it? The earth takes shape like clay under a seal; its features stand out like those of a garment. The wicked are denied their light, and their upraised arm is broken. "Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea or walked in the recesses of the deep? Have the gates of death been shown to you? Have you seen the gates of the shadow of death ? Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth? Tell me, if you know all this. "What is the way to the abode of light? And where does darkness reside? Can you take them to their places? Do you know the paths to their dwellings? Surely you know, for you were already born! You have lived so many years! "Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail, which I reserve for times of trouble, for days of war and battle? What is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed, or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth? Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain, and a path for the thunderstorm, to water a land where no man lives, a desert with no one in it, to satisfy a desolate wasteland and make it sprout with grass? Does the rain have a father? Who fathers the drops of dew? From whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens when the waters become hard as stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen? "Can you bind the beautiful Pleiades? Can you loose the cords of Orion? Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear with its cubs? Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set up God's dominion over the earth? "Can you raise your voice to the clouds and cover yourself with a flood of water? Do you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you, 'Here we are'? Who endowed the heart with wisdom or gave understanding to the mind ? Who has the wisdom to count the clouds? Who can tip over the water jars of the heavens when the dust becomes hard and the clods of earth stick together? "Do you hunt the prey for the lioness and satisfy the hunger of the lions when they crouch in their dens or lie in wait in a thicket? Who provides food for the raven when its young cry out to God and wander about for lack of food?
This continues to the end of the book. What does Job say to God? He says, ''Surely I spoke of things I did not understand...'' Indeed, not knowing everything leads to wisdom.

Waiting is the Hardest Part
Waiting is the Hardest Part
No one could have ever told me ’bout thisThe waiting is the hardest part
You take it on faith, you take it to the heartThe waiting is the hardest part
To make me wanna live like I wanna live nowThe waiting is the hardest part
You take it on faith, you take it to the heartThe waiting is the hardest part
- Tom Petty
Back home winter is waning. I hate to see the snow melt. It is a blanket of white that purifies the ugliness of the dark world. I have a hint of my depressive nature today. I am perfected in Christ but still a fallen human. I pray for healing.
I have three 'talks' to complete in the next two days. I call them 'talks' because I now do most of the talking. People, except for Madam President and Simon, are nervous and some panicked. The shock of the mass, multibillion death has passed and reality is unreal. My job now, for the most part, is to sooth. To make believable the phrase, ''It's going to be alright''. Faith.
My wait is hard but I do have faith and my depressed mood has lifted.

A Hard Rain is About to Fall
A Hard Rain is About to Fall
Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?I'm a-Beijing.' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,Where black is the color, where none is the number,And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',But I'll know my song well before I start singin',And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
- Bob Dylan 1963
It's 7:30 in the evening and I am preparing for my trips to Beijing, London and Cape Town.
There are still many people who are suffering from blood lust. They will be satisfied in part by the event coming up in and around Israel. All the current active evil and all the evil hidden must be spent before the human race moves on.
The outline for the conclusion and the beginning that follows is straightforward to me because I've seen it but as for the four billion souls that are now confused - some nearly insane the situation appears hopeless. It is far from hopeless, it miraculous.
