THE LORD SHALL LAUGH AT THEM !!!!!
by W.B. Howard...Editor of Despatch

Section One.

... Please read all Bible verses ( KJV only )...

The above verses reveal an appalling scene - the Almighty God, who is Perfect Love, holding in derision and laughing at the plight which is to come upon the wicked! God finally brings His judgement upon the rebellious world, not this time with sadness, but with righteous justice and with laughter! God will not always strive with men, this derision is even worse than the awesome judgements of the Tribulation period!

We have seen, in the notes on the weaponry and technology of the New World Order, that mercy is hardly the new world's strong point. If it were not for the compassion and tender love of the Almighty Creator, not one person would be left alive on the planet after the NWO has its way. No wonder God has no mercy for the perpetrators of the wicked, wicked conspiracy of the international elite class and their boot-lickers. The Bible gives an onerous pre-view of what will happen in the Tribulation, when the NWO unleashes its weapons of war and methods of mass control. It also tells of the ease with which the Lord does away with them. Not a pretty picture, but it will all happen because the Bible is God's Word and cannot lie - or make a mistake about future events in prophecy.

FIRST - the kings of the earth and the rulers take counsel together... The whole earth is seething with hatred against the Living God and His Word. We are already living in the times when the kings have "set themselves" and the rulers of the earth have "taken counsel together" or "conspired together." Psalm 2 is a Messianic Psalm, it tells us of a culminating cosmic crisis, a period in history when the whole world joins in cosmic crisis! The whole world organises itself, confers, and determines utterly to oppose all rule and control of the Almighty God and His Son, the Lord Jesus God. Astonishing! This Psalm shows a world conference of rebellion against God. It is the climax of the whole history of this world's system, it is the time of the epitome of rage and hatred against the Creator. Some people will tell you there is no global conspiracy of the NWO - the Bible shows that this conspiracy will indeed take place.

Historically, the object of the "heathen" or "nations" attack has always been the anointed of the Lord, see David in this regard (1 Samuel 24:6). Behind this attack it is really the Almighty God who is resisted; and in prophecy it was the Messiah (Acts 4:25- 27). Psalm 2 finishes on an appeal, they will suffer disaster with no chance of escape unless they bring homage to "the Son."

"Be wise now, therefore, O ye kings; be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way,
when his wrath is kindled but a little." (Psalm 2:10-11).

THE TERRORS OF WEAPONRY.

Mankind has always devised unspeakable cruelties towards other human beings. The real son of Dracule, Dracula,
back in the Dark Ages, who lived in Transalvania, impaled upon wooden stakes thousand of souls who died in anguish. We all know of Hitler, Stalin, Genghis Khan and the rest. But, the New World Order under Antichrist will outdo them all. Remember that these events will occur in the Tribulation period, and the Church will be gone by then. Rev.4:1.
A quote from Scofield will be of help here:

FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE.

The first prophecies which deal with the terrible events of the Tribulation are the Four Horsemen of Revelation chapter six. Note that the foolish rebels of Psalm 2, who have sought to bring about repression and terror to the world, suffer themselves! Verses 15-17 of Rev.6.

WHITE HORSE.

The first horseman is the Antichrist, who "went forth conquering and to conquer."
He brings about the bloody conquest of the entire global, and sets his ghastly regime into action. (Rev.6:2). He sits on a white horse, he is a counterfeit of the real Rider on the white horse, who is seen in Revelation 19:11- 16, Jesus Christ.

RED HORSE.

The second horseman comes on a red horse, this signifies WAR, bloody war! (Rev.6: 3-4). He takes peace from the earth, and the longed for peace of the NWO and the peace movement adherents is shown to be a pipe-dream. Men are caused to kill one another, he has a great sword. Despite the peace treaties, disarmament laws, United Nations, Pulitzer Peace Prize, the optimism of the humanists who think they can bring peace without God, nation rises against nation and men kill one another. So it will not only be a time when the United Nations and the Internationalists persecute people, and they just run in panic. No, men will all turn violent, perhaps in fear of the global masters, they betray one another and commit murder. Men's hearts are sinful! They cannot create peace, only war.

BLACK HORSE.

The third horseman is riding a black horse. (Rev.6:5-6). He brings severe famine, food shortage and, of course, causes death because of this. The international bankers use diabolical means to gain full control of the economy of the globe, and the great oil fields on the earth, but their ruthless greed causes the inhabitants of earth to be starved and neglected. Henry Morris has an interesting comment on verse 6:

What do the "commodity prices" show? The "measure" is the Greek "koinix". This is about one and a half pints, the "penny" is the "denarius". It was a coin which would equal about a whole day's wage of an ordinary, unskilled man today.
This shows awful shortage, families will hardly survive or make ends meet.
Will there be unemployment hand-outs, pensions then?
Certainly not, many will never survive it!
There will be anarchy, demonstrations, suicides under such a world regime.

Notice that the luxuries of "oil" and "wine" are not touched. Fuels and intoxicants will be in plenty, giving the greedy rich all they need, men can indulge in sinful pleasures and debauchery while there are not enough necessities to feed families!

GREEN OR "PALE" HORSE.

The fourth horseman is riding a "pale" horse, and his name is Death. He has power to kill with the sword, with hunger, and with death, and the beasts of the earth. (Rev.6:8). The colour of the horse is actually green, the Greek word "chloros". Trees are green, grass is green - green signifies life, doesn't it? But this horse is "green" and its rider is named Death, not life. How about the Green Movement today, which declares it has the "green hope" and says it can "Save the Earth"? It is surely green, but its name is death also. The Green Movement is paramount in the push to shrink the population of the earth, to cull the human population by a cool three or four billion - all to save Gaia, Mother Earth the Goddess figure.

The New World Order has led people to believe that wars can cease, the earth can be "saved" by human endeavour, that all religions can live in peace together and have unity in diversity. Thus a Utopia, a paradise can be regained. The Garden of Eden can never be returned to, the world is lost in sin and separated from the Creator. The only way is Jesus Christ our Lord, but they will not repent and they reject the Saviour. "Life", the "green hope" soon becomes death, and the horrors of hell will come for eternity - this is the rebels' fate.

The New World Order wants to reduce the population of the earth by billions, and the Bible indicates that they will have big success. One fourth of the world's population will die in the Tribulation, God will allow this holocaust in His judgement of the earth's inhabitants who are under the rule of the Beast. And the reduction in the earth's population will happen in the first half of the first three year and a half years of the Trib., in a short space of less than two years. This is described in Revelation 6-11.

Morris informs us that the word "beasts" of the earth is the Greek "theerion", and means wild, or dangerous or venomous animals. There may be venomous snakes multiplied on the earth. The same word is used in Acts 28:4,5, and this is referring to a poisonous snake. It could mean the ungodly, wicked men who work for the Antichrist, the Beast, as the word "theerion" is used 38 times in Revelation to mean this Beast.

RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION OF GREAT PROPORTIONS.

We are already poised on the very brink of religious persecution. The meetings of the World Conference on Religion and Peace, and the World Parliament of Religions, have set the scene for this with their Global Ethic document. The Bible tells us before hand that there will be a terrible persecution against believers in Christ Jesus - BUT, remember that the Lord will take out any who will put their trust in Him, they will be removed from the earth in the Rapture. The Rapture will happen before the major persecution accelerates - although we could face persecution in the near future which will lead into the Trib.

These Trib. saints still have the Bibles which are in many places around the earth, even though the Church has been Raptured. They are saved after the Rapture, or else they would have been removed with us. They speak out boldly in testimony of the Truth of God's Scriptures, and are killed mercilessly. These are martyrs, and they have come from a mighty revival which has happened since the Rapture! A GREAT REVIVAL is coming, but not yet.

An odd thing happens after the Rapture. NO believers are left on the earth at all, yet the Holy Spirit of God raises up a "great multitude" and gives them life in Christ Jesus. (Rev.7:9). The indwelling Holy Spirit has been taken from the earth in the Temple of the Church believers, He will not restrain or "withhold" through their prayers and witness. 11 Thess.2:6. But the Omnipresent, Eternal Spirit will still be on earth, He is everywhere, and He brings a new witness from a Churchless world system. Doesn't that get the Church in proper perspective? We are NOT the beginning and ending of the witness for Christ's Gospel on this planet, the Holy Spirit is. We can be removed and the work goes on in a mightier manner. Humbling, isn't it?

There will be the TWO WITNESSES (Revelation 11:3), and there will also be 144,000 Israelites who are sealed for the Lord's service, they will spread the Gospel during this time (Rev.7:4). Also the fact that television, radio, newspapers, movies, magazines and scores of other methods of communication have been relating debates about evolution versus creation, the Lost Ark, the "dooms day" cults, the beliefs of many of the Rapture believers (ridiculing them) and much more will be remembered by many of earth's citizens. No doubt a lot will realise that the Rapture has happened, and that God is real and the Gospel true! All these ways will bring about the salvation of many - Praise God! But they will have to die for their faith. Much better to be saved now, before the Trib. WEAPONS OF THE BEAST. The notes by D. Dart have shown how close we all are in the 1990's to disastrous methods being used to enslave the masses! The Bible shows us a little way ahead, and tells the sad story of the inhumanity of fallen men (and women). The Plan of the Illuminate is scheduled to be up and running in the next millennium, the Golden Age, the Aquarian Conspiracy. Little chance that this is NOT the Antichrist system coming right up now. The world has never seen anything remotely like the NWO globalisation Plan. What does the Bible tell us about the weaponry in the Trib.?

The whole world of fallen men will have "one mind" and "give their power and strength unto the beast." Everywhere today we are being urged towards ONE MIND ONE WORLD. The nations, Australia included, have already succumbed to the pressure of UNESCO in regard to the ONE MIND of global education, which is a brainwashing, Third Force intellectual weapon against the masses.

Third Force psychology which began with Glasser is:

This amazing verse of Revelation 17:13 shows that:

(1) The will and purpose of every national leader, everyone in power at all will be surrendered to Satan incarnate
in the Antichrist. The leaders will ignore any resistance and blindly yield all to the superiority of the Beast.

(2) Their "power" or authority will be just given away to the Beast, all the presidents and prime ministers and the opposition parties and the army leaders - all bow down. They will be over- awed by him! Who can imagine such a sensation. NONE will seek to govern or rule over their own nations by themselves, they will all let the Antichrist have totalitarian rule.

(3) This means that the weaponry of the entire globe is at the Antichrist's finger tips. The armaments we have considered in Dorothy Dart's notes will be massive, weapons abound which we know not of, in our ignorance is bliss of a sort. There will be ten primarily important nations at that period (Daniel 7:7). Morris tells us: "Apparently three of these need to be 'persuaded' before they have 'one mind.' 'And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings." (Daniel 7:24).

WHY GIVE UP POWER AND STRENGTH (ARMAMENTS)
TO THE ANTICHRIST?

There are TWO EVENTS which will bring about the mad rush to surrender to the Beast. One has to do with a fake religious "resurrection", and the other has to do with a successful religious persecution.

(1) The Antichrist will be knifed to death by a dissenter, then he will be resurrected from the dead. The kings, presidents and leaders will be convinced that he has power even over the great enemy of all fallen mankind, death itself. (Rev.13:3).

(2) The two witnesses of God will seem divinely unbeatable, but the Antichrist defeats them and has them killed. Antichrist will appear to be all-powerful to the inhabitants of earth, and they will all be only too willing to give allegiance to such a god- like despot - who could possibly oppose him? (Rev, 11:3-14).
 

IS THERE A "ONE MIND" OF THE LORD GOD?

One day, in the Millennial Reign of the glorious King Jesus, there will be a true "one mind". This is what Satan is seeking to counterfeit in his bid for global dominion. People are at odds with each other because they view reality and the future differently, Satan wants to have consensus from his puppet rulers and their pitiful subjects. He will enforce this, as he is doing right now behind the facade, the immediate future will open the door to massive indoctrination.

GOD'S "ONE MIND.

God tells us in His Word that the nations will be converted in the Millennium, and then sanctified to serve the King upon the Throne of David in Jerusalem. (Micah 4:2; Isaiah 43:21; Psalm 102: 21,22). There will be no idol gods one day, fear not pluralism and the syncretism of all religions, because there is only one true faith - the Biblical one. In the Millennial Reign the entire world will have One Mind for a season, they will have ONE CONSENT:

WHAT SATAN IS COUNTERFEITING IN THE NWO.

Amazingly, the arch enemy of God seems to think that he can defeat the Almighty Creator and set up his own rule, taking over the authority and the worship of the planet. This is what the New Age New World Order is about. The Bible shows us that even the plans of Satan will fit into the Sovereign Will of the Almighty. God will allow the rebels to have their heads completely, and the Trib. will be the result. Yet, the weapons, the culling of the population, the greed, the famines caused by evil men - all will be used to bring the judgement of God upon the wicked nations. There will be more, upheavals in nature, divinely sent supernatural disasters, angelic judgements, the Tribulation period will be the worst period in history - and that is saying something!

THE NEW AGE COUNTERFEITS.
Satan is trying now to convince the deceived that they can bring about the exact situation of the Millennial Reign. It would be good to contrast these wonderful things of Christ's reign with what is happening today:

(1) Satan has his New Age peace movements. God declares that the Reign of Christ will have no wars. (Isaiah 2:4).

(2) Satan wants the world to have no more striving after power, just complete submission. God tells us that the Millennial Reign will end power struggles, oppression and plunder. It will have peaceable interaction and harmony across the world. The peoples will freely enrich each other and they will all serve a common King, the Divine Ruler.
(Isaiah 19:23; 66:23; Zech.14:9).

(3) Satan tells the world through the New Age health treatments, and the vegetarian diets, and the various meditations for stress relief (much more) that the peoples can have health of the body, even immortality! God shows us that the Millennium will have health of the body, ALL will be healthy in that glorious reign. (Isaiah 25:5,6; 65:20).

(4) The New Age deception wants to have simpler living in natural surroundings; a socialistic program for global society, with a form of green communism; equality and "rights" for all marginalized groups; disarmament; employment for all; "ethics" which everyone is forced to agree to.

God tells us that the Millennial Reign will mean all of those things and far more. But, it will be a rule under the righteous justice of Perfect Love, not the fake rule of the Evil One. Satan never intended to really bring a Utopia, he wants cruelty, death, torture and destruction - the New Age Aquarian Conspiracy is the biggest con job of all history!

What does God intend for the earth: Profitable labour (Isaiah 65:21-23); social justice and righteousness (Isaiah 11:3,4); help available from others in the community (Isaiah 58:7); smaller cities (Zech. 3:10); equality and rights for all nations, no favourites, Israel not given undue preference (Isaiah 19:25; Matt.8:11; Zech. 2:11) and disarmament (Mic.4:3). Something the Millennial reign will have that the NWO does not want is fixed divisions of the nations (Acts 17:26).

SATAN WANTS THE WORSHIP. The weapons and armaments, the satellites, the identification cards and the Mark of the Beast are going to be used to bring the world into worship of the Beast as God. In the Millennial Reign of Christ Jesus all the nations will indeed worship only One, but He will be the Lord God Almighty. They will serve God alone:

"From sunrise to sunset my name shalll be glorious among the gentiles, and in every place shall incense and a pure meal offering be offered to my name...saith the Lord of hosts." (Malachi 1:11).

"It shall come to pass that from new moon to new moon and from sbbath to sabbath all flesh shall come so as to worship before me." (Isaiah 66:23).

UNITY AND DIVERSITY.

That there will be successful unity under the Antichrist system is a foregone conclusion! The Scriptures are very clear on this, there is no other way to interpret the prophecies. Some will try to symbolise the clear message away, it cannot be done. There is coming a POLITICAL WORLD-UNITY, A COMMERCIAL WORLD-UNITY and a RELIGIOUS WORLD-UNITY - it would seem, it will be here very soon. Does this mean that God is against any union of mankind?

The Bible does not teach that God is against unity per se, He is actually planning for the closest, most satisfying, most loving and spiritual union for the fellowship of mankind. this union is His intention, it is certainly not really Satan's intention. (Micah 4:1-5). This glorious fellowship divine is not the one the Church will be enjoying in heaven, it will be enjoyed by people who are still in the mortal flesh, on the earth, in Australia, New Zealand and America (if those countries exist as they do now, there will be big changes in the global topography). The union of God will be a fellowship in His Son, who has been appointed King (Psalm 2:6; Ephesians 1:10; John 10:16); and it has Christ Jesus as its center (Zech.14:9).

ALL THOSE WHO DWELL ON THE EARTH...

ALL will worship the Beast (Rev 13:8) and "all" will receive his mark. Everyone, president and pauper alike. This means that the foolish members of the Iluminati, the Bilderbergs, the Free Masons, the ecumenist who are not born-again, will soon bow down and worship the beast, like cattle. EXCEPTING, ALL those who are killed because they resist and follow the Lord into safety in the Trib. (V.15). This globalization is a gigantic civilization, which is like
"a summit of all self-redemption of mankind without God." (Sauer).
Isn't this what the world is doing now?
Saving itself? "Save the Earth" rings in everyone's ears; "Man is God" and can evolve into its combined "Christhood" - this is the New Agers' boast, this is the New Paradigm.

POLITICAL UNITY.

Who is this?
The Beast out of the sea ("sea" being peoples), the Antichrist.
FULL political power will be his.

COMMERCIAL UNITY.

NO ONE on the WHOLE EARTH will be able to buy or sell without the Mark of the Beast. (Rev.13:17). We are moving close to this mark now, but the Church will be gone before the Mark of the Beast comes about. We, the Church, will possibly only encounter the Smart Cards, some minor bio-chips (animals in our own towns are now able to get these identification chips), maybe one card for all transactions, the cashless society perhaps?
There is no command from God that we should not use these cards, by the way.

RELIGIOUS UNITY.

There will be a unity of all religious - for a short time! The antagonism towards God will boil over into an attempt to brutally destroy all Biblical Christianity, in the Endtimes. All those who confess faith in the true God will suffer, and will be reduced to misfits from society, they cannot even go to shops and purchase food and clothing (Rev.13:17 compare verse 7). See also Rev,17:6;18:24; 20:4. There is coming a horrendous religious persecution such as we can hardly imagine. It will NOT just appear over night, there must be lead-up to the Trib., Bible- believing Christians are right now facing huge oppression!

The Antichrist system is NOT an irreligious, atheistic regime. It is extremely religious. It is not about eliminating all religion, it is about a global State Religion. It is super- heathenism, joined to the false "Christian" churches, it utterly rejects Biblical Christianity! Some people imagine that the Antichrist religion is based on foolishness, the flesh, and spiritual darkness, which be obviously so.Erich Sauer wrote of the religious system of the Antichrist in, "The Triumph of the Crucified",

Of the devil it is, dramatically beautiful, inspirational, rich, gorgeous, brilliant, utterly attractive to the unsaved, it also is. The One World Church is forming rapidly, the real, remnant Church will seem like a bunch of beggars in comparison - in our own day? And the Trib. believers in God will be hunted and destroyed by the Beast. (Rev.17:1-6).
