Wake up, people! Wake up! Time is short.
It matters NOT whether you style your spiritual identity as an agnostic, atheist, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, Zoroastrian, Rastafarian, Jew, Nativist, Practioner of Spiritual Yoga, American salad-bar sampler of faiths, a skeptical spectator or loyalist to one of the many flavors of Christianity that offer themselves nowadays.
There is only ONE Truth and His Name ought be capitalized.
Faster than you can imagine, and in ways you and I cannot fully know, we will ALL be asked — in fact we are being asked, whether we know it or not — to make a binary and permanent choice. With it, we are also subscribing to the myriad serious and painful challenges that pertain to living it out — a fact that, quite ironically, many Christians may realize far less than their pagan counterparts.
By “permanent” I do not mean merely “til death do us part” but rather: What’s your final answer? Where do you want to spend all eternity?
“I don’t know,” “we can’t know,” “I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it,” and “you’ve got your faith; I’ve got mine” are not sufficient. The chasm is widening; the bridge getting more precarious. Soon enough it will break. (The pictures below appeared in our local paper on March 15th, the Ides of March, after the massive Northeast storm. I will get back to them later-on in this post.)
Recorded in Luke 16:26 is Jesus’ story of the rich man (in hell) and Lazarus (in paradise) Jesus recounts Abraham as saying to the man in hell (aka, the underworld):
…between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.
Egypt’s version of one of those underworld “gods” is Anubis. A 25-foot-tall statue of Anubis (some reports say 22 feet) sailed into New York Modern Babylon Harbor on a barge yesterday (March 23rd) in triumphant pose, exactly seven days before Pesach as the Hebrews count, on the same day the health deathcare bill became law.
(On the same date, exactly 77 years earlier, Hitler legally obtained plenary powers to rule by decree by signing “The Enabling Act.” H/T TamZ.)
He has “his suitcase at his feet,” his pagan “baggage” which has traveled the world (note the stickers) symbolically poised to be “unpacked” on our shores. (H/T: jim)
(I can’t even begin to summarize all of the diligent, Holy Spirit-led work Charmaine did on Egyptian mythology and history, e.g., Anubis, Tut and Pharaoh and their close associations with Obama on her blog, Running From Babylon, long before it became as obvious as it did yesterday. E.g., see here, here, here and here.)
Anubis appears to confront Lady Liberty directly, staring at her breasts and lifting up her skirts to expose her nakedness with his rod of power. That exposure is symbolic of the judgment that is now befalling us. We may chafe and rail in anger and bitterness at the human figures carrying it out, but that does not mean it is unwarranted by our sins.
For this crowd I scarcely need list them. 37 years’ worth of moral wandering in a wilderness of our own making… 37 years’ worth of legally-sanctioned, industrialized killing of babies being among the foremost stenches of death in God’s nostrils, but hardly the only one on the dung-heap of carelessly arrogant, un-atoned self-reliance.
In much the same way, our freedom of self-determination around our own literal nakedness (i.e., the health of our bodies) has been exposed and enslaved to death in the centralized* IRS-enforced health deathcare law. *(I don’t use the term ‘Federal’ as it implies a constellation of free and independent entities, i.e., the states.)
The posture of Anubis and the Statue of Liberty is one of utmost humiliation for our nation matched in irony only by the fact that yesterday (the day the president signed the health deathcare bill) was the 235th anniversary of Patrick Henry’s famous “Give me liberty or give me death” speech, which kicked off the shooting portion of the American Revolution at Lexington 27* days later, less than two miles from the house in which I grew up.
(According to Bullinger three, “stands for that which is solid, real, substantial, complete and entire”. Three cubed, or twenty-seven, can therefore be read as the dimensioning of that reality. In other words, making what is real in minds and hearts viscerally real in physical space. Henry’s words were turned into action — and blood — three-cubed days later.)
Here then we see the pagan god of death directly in opposition to liberty herself. (Technically, Anubis is the god of mummification and the “afterlife”.)
The journey and the view are much the same as what millions of “poor, tired, huddled masses yearning to be free” experienced upon arrival at Ellis Island just a mile away. Fleeing various kinds of poverty and enslavement in their home countries, the hopes of those immigrants rested on the vast possibilities this nation offered them to work, and to work out the purposes of their Creator in and with their lives. Settling here for good and populating the land became their legacy. (I don’t know if I’m more disturbed by the “lifting the skirts” shot above or the one of unwittingly-idolatrous schoochildren, below.)
The statue of Anubis brings the sad, upside-down, bitterly ironic “hope” of de-populating the land, reducing hard work and pushing aside the Creator’s clear, revealed will in favor of a host of pagan abominations.
The symbolism could not be more blatant in antagonism to the values Ellis immigrants sought to claim. Unlike the power-based, enslaving values Anubis represents, they knew they would need to “melt” into the “pot” of American values (rooted in God’s) of equality and freedom for the individual.
Unlike the blessed act of the One True God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in rescuing the Israelites from enslavement, the heart of Obama-Pharoah has been hardened to the clear wishes of three-quarters of the people of this country, pushing through the health deathcare law on the flimsiest of margins and through some of the more blatant corruption in recent memory at those levels.
Shortly after the symbolically significant burned house I wrote about yesterday was constructed (1850) British scholar Alexander Hislop dealt with Anubis in his landmark book, “The Two Babylons” (first published as a pamphlet in 1854). He touches on Anubis in several places, but does so most extensively in chapter 42:
Now, the Chaldean [Babylonian] doctrine of justification, as we get light on it from the monuments of Egypt, is symbolised in… that the good deeds and the bad seem to have been weighed separately, and a distinct record made of each, so that when both were summed up and the balance struck, judgment was pronounced accordingly… Anubis and his scales are often represented… [in Egyptian] judgment scenes, previous to the admission of the dead to Paradise:
“Cerberus is present as the guardian of the gates, near which the scales of justice are erected; and Anubis, the director of the weight, having placed a vase representing the good actions of the deceased in one scale, and the figure or emblem of truth in the other, proceeds to ascertain his claims for admission. If, on being weighed, he is found wanting, he is rejected, and Osiris, the judge of the dead, inclining his sceptre in token of condemnation, pronounces judgment upon him, and condemns his soul to return to earth under the form of a pig or some unclean animal…..But if, when the SUM of his deeds are recorded by Thoth [who stands by to mark the results of the different weighings of Anubis], his virtues so far PREDOMINATE as to entitle him to admission to the mansions of the blessed, Horus, taking in his hand the tablet of Thoth, introduces him to the presence of Osiris, who, in his palace, attended by Isis and Nepthys, sits on his throne in the midst of the waters, from which rises the lotus, bearing upon its expanded flowers the four Genii of Amenti.”
The same mode of symbolising the justification by works had evidently been in use in Babylon itself; and, therefore, there was great force in the Divine handwriting on the wall, when the doom of Belshazzar went forth: “Tekel,” “Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.” [Daniel 5]
To some (perhaps many) the Anubis-Babylon system may sound instinctively “fair”, however it is utterly anathema to the one the Father Yahweh offers by his grace through Christ. By definition, we cannot earn grace. Nor can the two be combined, as many imagine. To accept one is logically to deny the other (e.g., among many, see Romans 11:6).
(How does the imperfect move beyond its flaws if not by an act of the perfect? We Americans like to think we can “lift ourselves up by our own bootstraps” but such a thing does not work in the spiritual realm.) Unlike Anubis (or the IRS which will now be overseeing your health and well-being) Yahweh can and does forgive anyone of anything if only they will accept His Son’s taking our punishment for us.
(If someone offers to pay your traffic ticket and you refuse for some reason, e.g., pride, disbelief that it’s “too good to be true” or that “there must be a catch”, you have to go to court and argue your case yourself. The one time I was in traffic court, that strategy proved less-than-useful. 
One is then left with paying the ticket oneself. If you can’t pay, you are left with no other recourse. It is in realizing the immensity of our gratitude for that love and relief of sin-debt that we act in ways which may appear to outsiders be in pursuit of that relief and that love. It took me years of mealy-mouthed sub-par guidance before I got this sequence straightened-out properly.)
Later in the chapter, Hislop cites Hosea 12:7 in which the Lord indicts Ephraim for using man-made economic “scales” in arrogance to do its own “weighing”:
7 A merchant, in whose hands are false balances, he [Ephraim] loves to oppress. 8 Ephraim has said, “Ah, but I am rich; I have found wealth for myself; in all my labors they cannot find in me iniquity or sin…” 14 Ephraim has given bitter provocation; so his Lord will leave his bloodguilt on him and will repay him for his disgraceful deeds.
Astute readers will note several remarkable things which align in this text. First are the many close parallels, across all of Hosea’s prophetic words, with America today. Read it and see for yourself how it accords with the last several years of news.
Second is the echo, in Yahweh’s synopsis of Ephraim’s boast, in Jesus’ condemnation of the Laodicean church in Revelation 3:17 — the “lukewarm” church which he “vomits” up and which is widely regarded as descriptive of the American church today. (Lao + dicea = democratic; of the people).
For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
Third and most precariously, is Herbert W. Armstrong’s identification of the United States with Ephraim in his controversial 1960′s-era book “The US and UK in Prophecy.” I would not go to bat on behalf of many of his claims. They are tempting but in the end overreaching in terms of genetic and geographic legacy. Nonetheless, as most here probably know, even the worst of pagan pop-culture dreck can offer up pearls of Biblical wisdom for those who know what to look for. In that light, Armstrong’s broad association of Ephraim with the U.S. in apostasy and attitude is at least interesting in light of the Hosea 12:7 text and it’s association with Anubis.

Several readers noted, last night (thank you all!) that the president used 22 pens to sign the health deathcare bill into law.
As the WaPo reports:
Ever try to sign your name with 22 pens? Not so easy… [the] commemorative pens… were handed out to key congressional leaders and others who helped pass the legislation. It took the lefty more than 90 seconds to pick up each of the 22 pens and make a small portion of each letter in his name — and yeah, the signature probably looks a little weird. “We are done!” he announced with the final stroke.
The White House didn’t release details about the custom-made pens — complete with the presidential seal and signature — but aides to one recipient confirmed (on super-secret background) that they were black and manufactured by Cross.
In addition to the shocking and blatant highlighted material (a “final stroke”… on the health deathcare bill, “we are done” echoing with Christ’ triumphant words “it is finished” secretly executed with a CROSS pen!) E.W. Bullinger writes of twenty-two:
…being the double of eleven, [it] has the significance of that number in an intensified form,—disorganization and disintegration, especially in connection with the Word of God. For the number two is associated with the second person of the Godhead, the living Word.
It is associated with the worst of Israel’s kings,—Jeroboam (1 Kings 14:20), and Ahab (1 Kings 16:29), each reigning 22 years.
Eleven, we have seen, derives its significance by being an addition to Divine order (10), and a subtraction from Divine rule (12). These are two of the three ways in which the written Word of God can be corrupted—the third being alteration. “The words of the LORD are pure words”… [but] have been altered, taken from, and added to by man.
What more needs to be said? The same usurper-ruler who once described himself as a modern Tutankhamon (pharaoh) has once again hardened his heart, saying it is for our good. He and the spiritual symbolism that keeps popping up around him with exquisite timing — both deliberately and inadvertently — shows him standing up more and more boldly in opposition to the one Creator God Yahweh and imitation of His One and only Son, Jesus Christ. The system he represents is wholly of this world — a world that is passing away from one utterly different and distinct from it, across an un-spannable chasm. Which brings us back to the pictures I included above (see again below):
[UPDATE: Just realized... in the second Anubis photo, with the kids, the golden idol is visually cutting the Brooklyn Bridge (one across which I've run many many times on various business trips to the city.) That's not a prediction of any kind of terrorist action but rather a symbolic element I didn't realize harmonized with this other broken bridge across another artery vital to urban commerce. END UPDATE]
The one on the left appeared in large format on the front page of our local paper last week under the headline “The tides of March” (it was taken March 15th, the Ides of March; the photo on the right is the same washout from a different perspective.) Wikipedia seems to be down at the moment, but Google’s cached version has this to say about the date and the phrase “beware the Ides of March”:
“Et tu, Brute?”… or “You also, Brutus?” is a Latin phrase often used poetically to represent the last words of Roman dictator Julius Caesar. Immortalized by Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, the quotation is widely used in Western culture as an epitome of betrayal.
On March 15 (the Ides of March), 44 BC, Caesar was attacked by a group of senators, including Marcus Junius Brutus, Caesar’s close friend. Caesar initially resisted his attackers, but when he saw Brutus, he supposedly spoke those words and resigned himself to his fate.
One could insert any number of characters, including the majority of the American public into the role of the betrayed, dying Caesar “attacked by a group of senators” and a “close friend” in the time of “44″, however as of 3-15-10, Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu best fit the bill.
When I first saw that picture of washed out train tracks (the MBTA’s crucial ‘D’ line connecting Boston’s most heavily Jewish communities, Newton and Brookline to its core) I thought: there must be something to this. The rest of the headline and caption read as follows:
700 homes, businesses, T tracks deluged: Water washed away the earth below the D Line, near Glen Avenue… T service has been suspended while the MBTA figures out repairs.
The D-line goes from a station within feet of the site where five died at the ‘spark’ of the American Revolution, the Boston Massacre, through those super-Jewish communities, finally stopping at Riverside (think the last book in scripture, Revelation 22, and the river of life). It also connects what was once the ultra-WASPY Boston ‘Brahmin’ downtown to the major Jewish places of living and worship.
Any way you want to play the narrative behind it, the visual story was one of disconnection and hanging-by-a-thread all with the threat of being cut off entirely. All of that in the context of a Noah-like “deluge” that “washed away the earth” and made 700 homes almost as unlivable as the threat of UN and/or US action against the 1600 in Jerusalem. (I could go into a whole ‘thing’ about the numbers on each of those, but you’ve probably all got that drill down pat by now.
The real-life parable here seems to speak to much more than I thought it did the day the paper came out and the Spirit told me to wait. It’s emblematic not only of the US-Israeli relationship but of our relationship with God. The chasm is widening. There will come a time of cutting off — for each of us, but also, eventually, for this country and the whole world. We must each make a choice to jump to one side or the other, not taking for granted our easy access between the two worlds of Babylon-Egypt and the things of God in Christ. To stand in the middle is to fall in the gap and be swept away.

UPDATE: Above I noted that the German Reichstag passed (and Hitler signed) the “Enabling Act” exactly 77 years before Obama signed the health deathcare bill (March 23rd, 1933 vs. 2010.) I know it’s often frustrating to click through to so many links; because the connection left me speechless, I quote the bulk of it below. No, it isn’t precisely the same but yes, don’t think for a second it cannot happen here.
Just before the vote, Hitler made a speech to the Reichstag in which he pledged to use restraint. “The government will make use of these powers only insofar as they are essential for carrying out vitally necessary measures…The number of cases in which an internal necessity exists for having recourse to such a law is in itself a limited one.” – Hitler told the Reichstag.
He also promised an end to unemployment and pledged to promote peace with France, Great Britain and the Soviet Union. But in order to do all this, Hitler said, he first needed the Enabling Act.
A two thirds majority was needed… [so he made] a false promise to restore some basic rights already taken away by decree. However, one man arose amid the overwhelming might. Otto Wells, leader of the Social Democrats stood up and spoke quietly to Hitler.
“We German Social Democrats pledge ourselves solemnly in this historic hour to the principles of humanity and justice, of freedom and socialism. No enabling act can give you power to destroy ideas which are eternal and indestructible.”
This enraged Hitler and he jumped up to respond.
“You are no longer needed! – The star of Germany will rise and yours will sink! Your death knell has sounded!”

[Possible. Some have made a strong case for Oct. 29, 2008 (BHO's half-hour "infomercial") fulfilling that prophecy. I prefer to keep a 'telescopic' perspective on this and other prophecies. I.e., the "confirming" may be an iterative process, with both of those things (and others) being "ratchets" on such a covenant over a period of months or years. We shall see! -ed.]

Okay, I am well aware,(very well aware), that, trying to place a time point is NOT what we are to be doing. Yet I add this thought to clarify the arrival of Anubis with the signing of the bill. Consider. The battle over the bill had been tredging along. However, the arrival of Anubis, in this fashion, on a barge entering NY harbor, was PLANNED months ago. Recall, if you already know, that Pelosi was willing, merely days before the bill ‘passed’ to utilize a bogus concept to force the bill through ASAP, without proper voting. Suddenly there was a rush to get this thing done and over and very quick and if possible, legally.
BHO was so demanding of the passage, he canceled an important trip, 2x. The urgency was astonishing. Until now.
The arrival of Anubis was planned, therefore known and expected, months in advance. And it seems to me, that this bill carries more importance than appearances are revealing. They NEEDED this bill to be passed by the time of arrival of Anubis. The importance I see here bodes ill for America, as we live out its remaining days.
I feel that it is indeed THE time to get straight with the Lord Jesus. STOP, and make that prayer, include concerns for others with compassion, seek to be calm and give yourself to the Lord for strength and wisdom, and Trust in Him. We are never fully aware of how much He has done for us in the little things that saved us from our own flaws even if we feel despair. He has been there and we are going to need Him to be there for us NOW, and He asks nothing more than the same back.
I am not fixing a time line or date. Yet my heart felt a cold when I first heard of the Egyptian god/king arriving on the same day the bill was signed into law, and I feel something is to happen soon. Wisdom is needed here, not knee jerk reaction.
Symbolism. Lady Liberty is Isis. Cannot it not be seen as the bride waiting for the bridegroom’s arrival?
That is not an attempt to twist the words of the Lord. The anti-christ is to be ‘mirrored’ as though he is Jesus. A reversal of truth.
This timing is all to tight. Something is about to happen.

You might want to research just “who” the statue of liberty REALLY is, and who designed her. You will find that it is a Masonic design, and is Isis. This truth makes the arrival of the Anubis statue, even more startling, when you consider that the “christian” “Easter” is the pagan celebration of the rebirth of Isis. When you discover just what that celebration entailed, and just how those “eggs” fit into what is called “easter”, you will be shocked and sickened. Let’s just say it fits with the abortion agenda in this country.
[Thanks for bringing that up, Kate. There's only so much one can throw into one post before it gets totally out of hand!
You're spot on, and I recommend as a starting place for those unfamiliar with the SOL's mythological Charmaine's post from last November at RFB, "When We See Apollo Struck Down". -ed.]
The only way for those who follow and believe in Yahshua to escape what is coming is to totally follow Him, which means not only having the testimony of Yahshua, but ALSO keeping the Commandments of YHVH.
“Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring-those who obey Elohim’s Commandments (TORAH) and hold to the testimony of Yahushua.” Rev 12:17
Yahushua did not come to complete the Torah, but to keep it. IF we Love Him, YHVH, we should DO the same.
[Amen... remembering, as we strive to do that, we are EARNING nothing more than what he has already freely given us -- namely himself, i.e., life and truth -- and that WHEN we fall and fail in trying to keep the law He will pick us back up and forgive us if we ask. -ed.]

*mouth drops open*.. OK you have now connected a bunch of things the Lord has showed me. and also a lot of quickened words I have had.. I have no Idea where to begin…
I will begin with 22.. I have been quickened to 22 so much in the past few years. its unreal… I later found that 22 means LOTS of things.. the one thing that stuck with me.. is that there are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet..
ok.. I was also drawn (today) to these pictures of that Egyptian god coming into America’s port.. I knew knew knew knew something symbolic was going on. but I couldn’t place my finger on it. I then did some research and then wrote Mr. Joseph Herrin to ask his opinion. He in turn sent me a link to your blog. (WOW) after reading I see so many things connecting.. I am overwhelmed!
I will forward you the email that I sent to Mr. Herrin. I am sure you will find it interesting.
there are too many things connecting. and I don’t wish to write a book on your comments area.. LOL

[Thanks for commenting, Britni. You may have guessed that I have a fond place in my heart for "books" posing as blog posts or comments.
One thing we ALL need to keep in mind is that NONE of this is a surprise to our Lord. He is VERY MUCH in control -- always has been; always will be.
We need to be overwhelmed with awe at the privilege of living through these times, fighting the final spiritual battles and seeing his return. More is written in scripture about the times we're living in than any other time in Biblical history. All of this dark stuff, and its perpetrators, will be blown away with the breath of the Lord's mouth when he returns (2nd Thess 2:8). -ed.]

The Warning, itself, is harmless in a physical sense, according to the prophecies. This event would let each person see his soul as God sees it, at that moment. So, obviously, for most people, this would lead to a realization of their own extreme sinfulness. It would be a frightening experience. According to this line of eschatology, many people would repent, experience conversion, etc. But this would only be the beginning of the end times. That means that the Warning is one last chance for those disposed to repentance to get right with God before the real trouble begins. After the Warning, the next event, in this scenario, is the Miracle.
[Thanks for sharing that, Anthem. My concern is two-fold: 1) that people not count on or wait for such entirely un-Biblical events as timing markers and, 2) that people recognize that, in adopting an eschatology other than that which Christ himself gave us, in his own words, in scripture, they are by definition accepting the authority of something or someone else. -ed.]
Some people think this may occur on May 13, which is Ascension Thursday. It is believed to coincide with a major event in the Church. Interestingly, Benedict XVI is scheduled to be at Fatima on that day. It is unusual for the Pope to be away from Rome on a major Church holy day like Ascension. Prophecies of Fatima fit in well with this same line of eschatology. A final event associated with the Warning and the Miracle, is the event known as the Three Days of Darkness. This event has been foretold by many different people in history. This event would wipe out a large part of humanity, and afterwards some period of peace would ensue. Going forward from here, the eschatology would suggest that we would be going into events traditionally associated with the prophecies detailed in the Apocalypse, rise of the Antichrist, etc. The length of time involved is not clear. Now, I’m not defending this line of eschatology, because it is all speculative. Just wanted to put it all out there for those who might be interested, especially since the first event, the Warning, is believed by some to potentially occur in a week.
[One thing to keep in mind is that all faith systems have some kind of eschatology. The most compelling ones look a great deal like the one Jesus told us about and share many elements. Even Shii'a Islam includes Jesus as a major figure in their end times stories. (Unfortunately their wished-for 12th Mahdi looks a lot like our anti-Christ.) We may all be looking at the same picture (which is what can make this confusing). We need to be careful that we're looking at it through the frame of Jesus and Jesus only. -ed.]

Another shocking and disturbing set of events! Do you know the “official” story about why exactly 22 pens were used? It seems a very odd number, without even considering prophetic implications. Why not 20? I mean, of course, officially. You have already detailed some diabolical reasons. I read the whole story about who got the 22 pens, but only 20 people are actually listed as getting one… the rest went to the National Archives.
[I have no idea why that number. I can only imagine the envy felt by those (perhaps many) who thought they were among the "top twenty" most important people in national Democratic politics, only to discover they are lower down in the pecking order, so to speak. -ed.]
The second comment I have concerns something in Catholic eschatology that has been discussed around the internet for a while. An event that may be approaching is something called The Warning. Following the Warning, there will be a Miracle. I will leave it to you to google, if you aren’t familiar with it. I do not want to bias your research on it. Suffice to say, some people believe the Warning to be coming very soon, on Good Friday this year.
[Thanks for your comment, Anthem. I am familiar with that pair of beliefs from reading several books on Catholic eschatology and talking with a number of Catholic friends about it.
The scriptures that could be said to relate to it though (e.g., Matt 24, Mark 13, Luke 21, Daniel 9 thru 12, 2nd Thessalonians 2, and Revelation 6 and beyond, among others!) have Jesus, the Father or one of their trusted angels (e.g., Gabriel) telling us plainly that...
a) many false Christs, including THE ultimate "man of lawlessness" will arise and perform what absolutely appear to be miracles,
b) we are not to go out and look at them much less believe them (he is emphatic about this), and
c) when Jesus comes, it will be "on the clouds" and "with power" and "every eye will see him", every knee will bow and every tongue will confess.
I.e., it will NOT be subtle or ambiguous and the only warnings we will get are the bad things. I won't go so far as to say that the two are incompatible, for there are plenty of "warnings" (the contents of post being but one of many!) and the Lord is nothing if not gracious, extending patient mercy to the unsaved to give them many chances to "figure it out" and come to him. But in the differences (between this Catholic doctrine and scripture) there is reason for concern and careful discernment for the stakes are immense and the deceptions powerful and deeply entrenched.
Ultimately there is only one eschatology that is true (i.e., that of Christ himself) and all of us who may be left will need to wend our way through it with extreme care. For my own part, I'm sticking with Jesus' extremely explicit warnings and instructions in the first three scriptures I listed above. -ed.]

Shocking photos! I thought the one of the kids with “Tut” hats on was some sort of weird cult welcoming the statue. I agree this does not bode well for America.
[I find it doubly shocking because of the efforts widely publicized both before the election and after the inauguration to indoctrinate teens and school-age children into a cult of Obama-worship and their close similarity to efforts (largely successful) by the Nazi party in the '30s and during the war.
It's not as widely known that those institutions and practices were carried forward post-war in East Germany under a different name, becoming even more nefarious and refined in their ability to pull kids away from their parents and from churches. In fact, it kept right on going all the way until the time the Berlin Wall fell in '89. It can, and is, happening here. -ed.]

Also, remember that Anubis made his showing at the Indy Raceway last year and Indianapolis is the “crossroads of America”.
Interesting quotes from the pics (especially in some of the word usages):
“The five-ton, 25-foot statue of the Egyptian god Anubis is moved from in front of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum to sponsor row.”
“Alex Tagliani is the driver of the 36 car which is sponsored by The Childrens Museum and the King Tut exhibit.”
[Thanks for that, gibby. One thing I almost included, but didn't get time to finish researching, is Obama's signature, which forms the Greek letter 'Phi' (circle with a vertical line through it). I'm not much for gematria. (I've seen the grossly misused, leading some into veritable swamps of obsessive, Oujia-board-like amateur interpretation.) That said... the gematria of Phi is 500.
The letter Phi is used as a symbol of philosophy (i.e., man's attempt to understand things of his own power and reason). 500 is not a Biblical number, however it does exceed an important Biblical number (490) by ten. Ten is associated with "perfection", while 490 with "the fullness of spiritual order carried out with the fullness of spiritual power".
In other words, 500 (Indy, Phi, Obama's signature) could all be seen as an attempt to gild the proverbial lily -- i.e., human efforts to make things "more perfect" than God made them. Thirty-six, of course, is the product of the number of man. I.e., man's effort squared.
I wouldn't mention any of that if the numbers weren't, a) consistent with each other and, b) consistent with the tenor of the events they describe and the people associated with them. (What is driving fast but man's attempt to improve upon feet? Most of the world doesn't even own or have access to a car.) -ed.]

Cindy said it best, “stunning post.”
The photos of Anubis coming through the “gate” of this country so hot on the heals of the deathcare just blows my mind. I can’t even find the words to express it.
The closest is to compare it to dominoes falling down. Boom, boom, boom. And the momentum is definitely picking up.
Thank you for sounding warnings and for being obedient to the Holy Spirit.

All I could think is “wow” while looking at the pics of Anubis and the Statue of Liberty. Thank you for posting these and for your spiritual insight.

This quote from the piece you linked to really has me freaked out in light of the news today that Democrats like Steny Hoyer fear a violent backlash and claim they have already been threatened:
“The ‘distress’ had been secretly caused by the Nazis themselves in order to create a crisis atmosphere that would make the law seem necessary to restore order. On February 27, 1933, they had burned the Reichstag building, seat of the German government, causing panic and outrage. The Nazis successfully blamed the fire on the Communists and claimed it marked the beginning of a widespread uprising.”
Given the history of the associates of this president (ie. Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn) I wouldn’t put anything past the majority in power right now. Remember Biden’s comment re. the need to “gird our loins”. I truly am starting to wonder if we won’t see martial law before the 2012 elections.
May God help us all.
[I heard a great ad on Christian radio this morning driving 'Springy' to school. It begins with an advisor to some elected official (implied Congressional rep or Senator) urgently telling his boss that "they're surrounding the building!!" The Senator asks, "what are they doing"? Response: "they're praying for you, sir."
I thought it was a great Christian response to all of the talk about "taking it to the streets". Streets? Fine. Violence? Not if we're to follow Christ. He'll take care of all the injustice himself soon enough. -ed.]

ultraguy,
great post. I want to throw something at you and see what you think. considering the above post and our nakeness (america) I came across an article about naked statues of a male artist that are placed around new york city for some art exhibit. the exhibit is titled “event horizon” which means the point where nothing can escape a black hole. upon reading the article I recalled your post and David Wilkerson’s urgent message. his message talks about storing-up 30 days worth of food and necessities, also I had read somewhere that he has been warning about judgment on New york and the surrounding areas for years and I vaguely remember him saying that 30 days of judgment would come upon nyc. that being said the exhibit has 31 statues. it was just recently set up (pictures from internet say 3/23 a date that will haunt America deathcare) the exhibit runs from 3/26 through sometime in august officially. I think (I’m no prophet) that David Wilkerson’s warning may be on the horizon considering the raw treatment our government just showed the Israelis on their visit and apparently a set of demands we made to them about the whole Jerusalem building thing and the peace process. I could go on but I thought I’d throw this at you since you seem to see things other might miss. just want to hear your thoughts. for all I know you’re working on it right now.
in Christ,
joe
[Interesting. Thanks, Joe. I saw that linked on Drudge yesterday and browsed thru the pics but figured these posts are already like uber-geek Swiss Army knives so why add a kitchen sink?
Anyway, the timing, and the "exhibit" itself are certainly strange.
Quick take: they're on top of buildings -- a position of implied power. But that's also a position (at least in a big city with tall buildings) suggestive of suicide -- always Satan's number one goal for us as it combines all sins into one (worry turned to despair and lack of trust in God, pride and self-centeredness, impatience, murder, etc.) E.g., see Luke 4:9 and Matt 4:5 when Satan takes Jesus to the pinnacle of the temple and challenges him to throw himself down.
Interestingly, the Spirit-led David Wilkerson, in Thursday's devotion, says the following (which I had not read when I made the suicide observation):
Nakedness plus "event horizon" reminds me of this post I did last April, speculating on the physics of Christ's resurrection.
Re. Wilkerson's urgent warning, dates, food storage, etc., he made a clear distinction between WHAT he saw, claiming it carried prophetic weight, and what to DO ABOUT IT (his human opinion only) and WHEN it might occur (soon, but date unknown).
For my own part, I'm going by the FIRST thing the Lord says every time he goes face-to-face with a human being: Do not fear. Trust in Him. Some extra rice and canned beans and water? Not a problem. Arsenal of weapons in a deep bunker with three years' worth of food? Probably not trusting the Lord enough. Just my take. YMMV. -ed.]

Art, stunning post! The statue of Anubis passing the statue of liberty with his rod positioned at her skirts leaves me absolutely breathless! The symbolism so powerful that I feel sickened in my stomach for those who don’t have the spiritual eyes to see. Thank you for your hard work in compiling such important information, its been a great blessing for me. Cindy

I remember seeing the Anubis god at the Childrens Museum in Indianapolis last summer. My older children dragged me along to the exhibit and I confess, in order to keep peace I prayed first and entered. It was like entering a death tomb – very cold also. I took off the earphones they gave us after the first chamber or room. I found myself running through the dark rooms to find the exit within minutes. I simply could not breathe. There was a store coming out from the exhibit selling many of the miniature gods to take home. I was amazed that so many people showed such delight and enjoyment from this pagan abomination. I prayed for them and I prayed even more for the children, including my own. With gladness, many are running to the gods of old as with the hollywood reception with the recent movie, “Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief.”
