Who Is Winning the War
by Bobby Garner

August 7, 2004

There is starting to be a lot of chatter in various alleged news and other sundry outlets about how the US is loosing the war in Iraq. Such loose talk is a clear and certain sign of ignorance, most notably among the consumers of such garbage, without whom it could not be sustained.

Those who tell such "stories" as well as those who repeat them, are aiding and abetting the mortal enemy of the people of this planet who is Satan the Devil. Some engage in this activity knowingly, and some quite unknowingly due to ignorance. Regardless, it all serves as "controlled opposition" run by those who are conducting the war, government leaders, and other influential elite groups, organizations, and individuals. Those who engage in it make themselves complice's to the crime, whether wittingly or unwittingly. The same is true in the case of most other so-called "news".

Those consumers who ingest this hallucinogen tainted media bilge, become delusional, and soon forget that we never got a good answer to the question of why the war started in the first place. They forget that no WMD's were ever found. They forget that no connection to terrorism has been made. They forget that the UN and international law was seriously violated. They have nearly forgotten who Saddam Hussein is. They will accept almost any image they see with his name on it. They imagine all manner of reasons why this is all happening. Among some of the more common hallucinations we hear about are:

  • The Iraq war is about Saddam. It never was.
  • The Iraq war is about WMD's. It never was.
  • The Iraq war is about Al Qaeda. It never was.
  • The Iraq war is about Osama bin Laden. It never was.
  • The Iraq war is about Terrorism. It never was.
  • The Iraq war is about oil. It never was.
  • The Iraq war is about controlling Islam. It never was.
  • The Iraq war is about protecting Israel. It never was.
  • The Iraq war is about opposing the UN. It never was.

There may be elements of truth in all of the above, but you should know that every liar always uses a little truth, in fact depends on it. The people who invaded the sovereign country of Iraq may not be competent to wage war. They may be insane. But, they are not ignorant of the facts, as nearly all the public appears to be. The facts are:

  • This war is about global government.
  • This war is about who is going to lead world government.
  • This war is against the people of planet Earth.

We have never understood the purpose of the UN nor the League of Nations before it. Consequently we failed to grasp the significance of the rejection of UN authority prior to the Iraq invasion. There is this lack of understanding, not because the facts have been hidden from us, not because we have been lied to, but because the vast majority of us remain ignorant of the facts of recent history. As I have pointed out elsewhere, there is only one cause of ignorance other than child birth. It is deception. I challenge anyone to identify another cause. How long will you love ignorance? "How long will you stupid ones keep hating knowledge?" (Proverbs 1: 22)

The United Nations was Chartered by agreement of every major world class power when it was established at the end of WWII. From the outset we were well aware of a sharp division between those communist block members and the so-called free world members. There were other less significant divisions beyond that, but those main ideological differences set the tone of the worlds political climate for the duration of the ensuing Cold War. Communism which was associated with the east was pitted against the free world nations of the west. The resulting gridlock was an effective barrier to further significant development of the UN until the end of the Cold War. So, from the outset, through the Cold War, and down to the present, the division of world power remains divided along ideological lines between east and west.

Following the collapse of communism in the early 1990's, it was widely believed that this division would quickly melt away, as national borders were opened up, and the world would finally be at peace. It did not happen. The division is still visible, and obviously, the world is not at peace. There was a small burst of creative development during the 90's concerning the environment, but those things agreed upon are not proving to be effective in large portions of the globe. This is all true because the underlying reasons for the division, and lack of peace are still in place and in fact unchanged except in their outward visible character. What this means is that the cold war as well as the division used to justify it, were all illusory in nature. It was all a magicians trick, deception. In other words, it was and remains one huge lie!

The war on terrorism is nothing more than a continuation of that lie, as is the war in Iraq. In fact this division and conflict is far older than the UN or the League of Nations. It can actually be traced back to at least the time of ancient Babylon, and Egypt and Assyria before that. Nimrod was the "mighty hunter" who opposed the Creator God Jehovah (Genesis 10: 9). The infamous Tower of Babel was in fact a challenge to Jehovah's right to rule over the earth, by attempting to unite people together for this purpose of building a tower that reached "into the heavens" (the symbolic seat of world power). Thus Nimrod was the first to challenge God's authority over the Earth.

God dealt with the immediate problem by confusing the language, but that was only a temporary solution. The kings of the Earth have continually "plotted together against Jehovah and His Anointed" who has the right to rulership over the Earth, "saying, We will break their bands in two, and throw off their cords from us." (Psalms 2). By virtue of his purchase of that right by his own blood, the "Anointed" one bought back the birthright of inheritance that Adam lost through deception in the Garden of Eden. I speak of Jesus Christ "the One having given Himself a ransom on behalf of all, the testimony to be given in its own time". 1 Timothy 2: 6. In Bible prophecy, birthright is everything. Just as it was in the case of Israel when Essau (the firstborn) sold his to Jacob for a bowl of stew. Jesus, is the firstborn of Jehovah's spirit sons, so he is the rightful heir, and he remained faithful even to death. Satan, another one of Jehovah's spirit sons tried to trade him out of it, but he refused. (Matthew 4:8-10)

Satan is the unlawful ruler of this world. He usurped that authority by convincing Adam and Eve that he could make them a bigger and better deal. Until now, rulership is his to do with as he pleases. He identifies those who will worship him, and he gives them rulership and authority over many things. Jesus told the Pharisees who represented the priesthood in Jerusalem, that they were from their father the Devil. They had subverted the Law and made it into a religion and abused their position by making unlawful and unreasonable demands of the people. That system was destroyed forever when the Romans captured the city in 70 CE. If you cannot recognize Satan's position of authority over the Earth for the past 6 thousand years, you will not understand the history of world power from the Assyrians to the present Anglo-American Empire, with the United Nations created in it's image. Those favored delusional self righteous images of the United States of America being "under God", with it's acts of violence taken to remote parts of the globe with "God's blessing", will be forever shattered just as surely as the aspirations of those who supported the corrupt system in the ancient city of Jerusalem.

The Image of the Beast

"And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. And it had two horns like a lamb, but spoke like a dragon. And it executes all the authority of the first beast before it. And it causes that the earth and those dwelling in it should worship the first beast, of which was healed its deadly wound. And it does great signs, that it even causes fire to come down out of the heaven onto the earth before men. And it deceives those dwelling on the earth, because of the signs which were given to it to do before the beast, saying to those dwelling on the earth to make an image to the beast who has the wound of the sword, and lived. And was given to it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak, and might cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed." - Revelation 13:11-15

The two horned beast that looks like a lamb but speaks like a dragon is the dual Anglo-American Imperial world power, the seventh and last in Bible prophecy. It's form as a constitutional republic with a Bill of Rights gives it the appearance of a lamb, but it's unequaled military capabilities speak the language of war with the hot breath of a dragon as though it were fire from heaven. Millions of people in Afghanistan and Iraq have experienced the deadly heat of this fire as the whole world watched in amazement on their full color television screens.

The United Nations is a monument to Satan's evil system. However, it is only an image, therefore it has no role as a world power, and will never be such. It is "like" an eigth king, but it exists for only one hour, which may be understood as a short period of time, then "goes off into destruction" (Revelation 17: 11,12). Why do his worshipers need a monument to him? Because his attention has been distracted, and he can no longer give undivided attention to his followers. As a consequence, they do not now have free and immediate contact with him, therefore, the United Nations serves as their temple of worship to their god of world power, Satan the Devil, the original Serpent who misleads the world (Revelation 12: 9). It's a monument to the memory of his once glorious beauty and power (Isaiah 14:12)1. His authority over the Earth, for the first time in over six thousand years finally has a serious challenger. The results of that challenge have been ever visible to those who have eyes to see, and ears to hear, since the early 20th century, from the Great War to the present.

That challenger is, like Satan himself, a spirit Being Created by Jehovah. The battle between them is conducted in the spirit realm, and therefore invisible, but there are visible ramifications which manifest as wars with their attendant pestilence, lawlessness and civil violence, social isolation and disorganization, the rise of many false prophets preaching doom and gloom, and all the so-called "news" events widely publicized in print, on radio and television to the extent that no one can make a reasonable argument that he has not been aware of these things. These all serve as the "sign" which Jesus disciples inquired about, which is recorded beginning at Matthew 24: 3.

If Jesus was planning a visible return in the flesh, he would have responded much differently with something like "you will recognize me when you see me.", but he said nothing of the sort. Read it for yourself and see exactly what he said in verses 4 through 43.

Wars and reports of wars are not part of the sign, contrary to what the false prophets claim. Jesus said when you hear these reports, "See, do not be terrified. For all things must take place, but the end is not yet". The time of the end, and the first element of the sign is; "For nation will be raised against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and plagues and earthquakes against many places. But all these are a beginning of throes.". Anyone with a reasonable desire to understand this simple statement will immediately clear their mind of all the contrary things which they have been taught to believe, and grasp onto the fact that this is the history of "The Great War" written two thousand years in advance. The meaning does not need explanation. God's chosen One, the Resurrected Jesus Christ who sits in the favored right hand position of the living God Jehovah, is and has been in his Kingdom, and presently rules in "the midst of his enemies" (Psalms 110:1), from the heavens since the outbreak of World War One in 1914. "And the seventh angel trumpeted. And there were great voices in Heaven, saying, The kingdoms of the world became our Lord's, even of His Christ; and He shall reign to the ages of the ages." - Revelation 11:15, Chapter 12 relates the birth of the Kingdom as a male child.

"And war occurred in Heaven, Michael and his angels making war against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels made war, but they did not have strength, nor yet was place found for them in Heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, the old serpent being called devil, and, Satan; he deceiving the whole habitable world was cast out onto the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." - Revelation 12:7-9 The heavens are symbolically, the seat of world power. Satan's being cast out means that Michael (as Jesus is now known in his spirit form), as God's Anointed King has overthrown Satan's system of world power. However, this is not an instantaneous event, but goes on for many years ("a little time"). "Woe to the ones dwelling on the earth, and in the sea, because the devil came down to you having great anger, knowing that he has a little time!". though he has been toppled from his once exclusive position of authority over the Earth, he is limited to the Earth's vicinity, and we continue to experience the effects of his activity here.

When the nations constructed the UN as a temple of worship to the beast who gave them their power, it was in recognition of the foregoing undeniable facts. It was of course, the wrong choice, but a predictable one nevertheless. So now, after many dismal years of failure after failure, rather than being a temple to their god, it is rather a monument in their disgrace, to the disastrous failure of Satanic human rule over the people of planet Earth. It has become an embarrassment which they would like to forget. Court has been held, the jury is in, and the gavel has fallen as the verdict was read loud and clear for all who have ears to hear. Satan knows he has failed to convince the universal court of his innocence and he stands condemned on the crime as charged. What is the crime? He is a "manslayer from the beginning" (John 8: 44) of his rebellion as recorded in the Bible book of Genesis.

After passing on the opportunities for peace after the Cold War, and taking up arms in what is confessed to be a perpetual war against terrorism, they have broken out against all reason on a self destruction course. Like madmen they strike at anything or anyone they see. We foolishly try to interpret the meaning and make sense of their actions trying to second guess who will be next, who is winning and so forth, but the present battle is not against any nation. it is rather a war against humanity, a perpetual "Clash of Civilizations" war in their very own words!

The war in Iraq is a small part of this perpetual war plan, in fact it was the trigger point to ignite the flames of hatred between diverse groups and ideologies. The UN has lived out it's usefulness and has been in essence discarded on the trash heap of history. As the failure of efforts to resuscitate her become known, her demise will be undeniable. The odor of her rotting corpse will soon become an unbearable stench, and she will forever be abandoned. When that happens, and it will come soon, all hell is going to break loose. It will be a time unprecedented in human history. The old social order will precipitously collapse, virtually over night, leaving many unsuspecting people confused and bewildered. National governments and their political and social institutions will collapse. Violence will ascend to unprecedented proportions as people continue to point the finger at their most likely suspects and strike out against their fellow-man. It will in fact, be a free-for-all conflict in which no one will survive by his own strength, or on his own merits. Only those who will know and understand the situation and refuse to take up arms against others will be able to act in harmony with the new paradigm.

Thus they will survive with the aid of angelic protection in much the same way that Judah survived Assyria's attack. "And Jehovah sent an angel, and cut off every mighty one of valor, both the ruler and the officer, in the camp of the king of Assyria; and he returned with shame of face to his land. And he entered the house of his god, and those from his bowels caused him to fall there by the sword." - 2nd Chronicles 32:21 Isaiah 48: 9-11 explains why: "For My name's sake I will put off My anger; and for My praise I will hold back for you, so as not to cut you off. Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction. For My sake, for My sake, I will act; for how is it defiled? And I will not give My glory to another." also see Psalms 27:5, Proverbs 1:32,33

Following this period of global war, will come the realization of the promises of world peace, but not from the United Nations or any other man made government. People will see mans governments exactly for what they are, a system of oppression and control of large numbers of people. It will no longer be possible for any politician to lie about his intentions and abilities. It will be the time of which many Bible prophecies speak. Most notably, Psalms 37, Proverbs 2:21,22, and Matthew 5. These things will be brought to fruition by a global government under the king of kings, Jesus Christ. "These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and the ones with Him are the called and elect and faithful ones." - Revelation 17:14

In summary, the US is not loosing the war in Iraq. The war is serving it's intended purpose, which is global conflict, death and destruction for the human family, and it will spread globally. In fact, we should view it as the opening skirmishes of the battle of Armageddon.

And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars. And on the earth will be anxiety of nations with bewilderment, roaring of sea and of surf, men fainting from fear, and expectation of the things coming on the earth. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and much glory. (Dan. 7:13) But these things beginning to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near. And He spoke a parable to them: You see the fig tree and all the trees. Now when they sprout leaves, seeing it, you will know from yourselves that now the summer is near. So also when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near. Truly I say to you, In no way will this generation pass away until all these things shall occur. - Luke 21: 25-32
