Revelation 2:8-11 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

“8To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of the First and the Last, who died and returned to life. 9I know your affliction and your poverty—though you are rich! And I am aware of the slander of those who falsely claim to be Jews, but are in fact a synagogue of Satan. 10Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will suffer tribulation for ten days. Be faithful even unto death, and I will give you the crown of life. 11He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who overcomes will not be harmed by the second death.”

Symbols and Their Relevance

On September 11, 2012, 11 years after the attacks on the World Trade Center Buildings on 9/11/01, in New York, USA, the Lord gave me a song to write which illustrates in word and in pictures not only the events which took place on 9/11/01 in New York, but the subsequent wars which took place in Iraq and in Afghanistan and beyond, in response. That and what took place on December 7, 1941, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and on August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina, and on November 22, 1963, the assassination of John F. Kennedy (then the U.S. President), all of them are related to the crookedness of the US Government and of the world’s powerful elite.

A Synagogue of Satan

Beginning 22 years ago, the Lord began to open up my mind and eyes to see the corruption in the US government and so much of the evil they have done throughout the world, and are continuing to do, and how they are the harlot who rides the beast, and how the de facto government of the USA is not the ones acting as our government, but they are the wealthy and powerful elite of the world who are the ones bringing us into a one world totalitarian order, who our heads of government serve, i.e. they do their dirty work for them.

So, what I have come to know and to understand is that what took place on 9/11/01 was a false flag operation orchestrated by the US government and their allies and by the powerful elite of this world. And the ultimate goal of it was multifaceted, which included financial gain by certain powerful people, the destruction of things in one of the buildings in order to hide something they didn’t want known, and for the purpose to declare war against Iraq, to steal their oil, and against Afghanistan, to steal their poppies (drugs), etc.

But this didn’t begin there. The US government was also partially liable for the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941. They knew what was coming but they allowed it to happen for they wanted to get into that war. In both cases they sacrificed the lives of their own citizens in order to go to war with other nations. And actually, I believe that the political nation called “Israel” did the same thing to their people on October 7, 2023. And the US government is also responsible for the assassination of JFK in 1963. And the destruction left by Hurricane Katrina was caused, I believe, by weather manipulation in order to take over parts of New Orleans, to steal people’s lands from them.

Not Biblical Israel

Now these were things that the Lord led me to do research on and to discover, and they have been confirmed multiple times since they took place by multiple people who have also done research. But on the subject of the political and physical nation called “Israel,” I believe WWII and the holocaust were both in preparation to give the Zionists the sympathy and the support of Christians so that they could take over what used to be “The Promised Land.” But please know that biblical Israel is comprised of believers in Christ and most of political “Israel” are antichrist, so they are not biblical Israel.

Israel Today: [Matthew 21:43; John 8:18-19,38-47; John 10:16; Romans 2:28-29; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 9:4-8,25-28; Romans 11:1-36; 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Galatians 3:16,26-29; Galatians 4:22-31; Ephesians 2:11-22; Ephesians 3:1-6; Colossians 3:12-15; Titus 2:14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-16; Hebrews 8:6-13; 1 Peter 2:9-10,24; 1 John 2:22; Jude 1:5; Revelation 2:9; Revelation 3:9; see also Genesis 17:7-9; Genesis 18:19]

Suffering Tribulation

The people of this world have been suffering tribulations probably ever since man was created and sinned against God. But in these last days before the return of Christ, which is where we are, the tribulations are increasing and they will continue to increase, especially for those who are walking by faith in obedience to God and to His commands and who are giving testimony publicly of their faith and who are refuting the lies of the enemy being taught by charlatans and by “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”

So pay close attention to all that is going on around you and in the world and do not take everything at face value, and do not believe anyone without testing them and their actions and their words against the teachings of the Scriptures, and in prayer, and in diligent research (but not via AI), to make certain you are not believing the lies and that you are not supporting who and what is evil while rejecting who and what is of God and is godly, morally pure, righteous, honest, and trustworthy. For we live in very troubled times, and lies and liars abound just about everywhere you look and see.

Some wealthy and powerful people of this world are joining forces to bring us into that rule of the beast. They want us distracted so we are not aware of what they are doing, so we are being given a high dose of drama fed to us daily via the news media, social media, TV, the internet and radio, etc. And just know that in the USA the political left and right are a mirage to keep us distracted and fighting each other, and our votes do not count! So take your focus off the drama and spend time with the Lord in prayer asking Him to help you see the truth and to get you spiritually ready for what’s next.

Be Faithful to Death

The Scriptures do not teach “Once Saved Always Saved.” They teach progressive salvation which has a beginning and an end, but which requires that, by biblical faith in Jesus Christ, we must die with Christ to sin, and we must walk with Him in obedience to His commands, in life practice, in the power of God, if we are to have salvation from sin and eternal life with God. And we must continue in those walks of faith in obedience to our Lord and no longer as slaves to sin until the end, or we do not have life with God.

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; 2 Corinthians 5:10,15,21; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

The Song

Now back to where I started. I told you about the song the Lord gave me to write and how, in word and in pictures, it illustrates for us some of the historical events which were planned and carried out by our heads of government and by the wealthy and powerful elite of the world who are working to bring us all under the rule of the beast under a New World totalitarian Order. The song tells the story of the events which took place in our history and it lets us know that these horrific and historical events were the working of our own government heads. They are the ones deceiving and betraying the people of their own nations. The song is, “For Our Nation.”

Bombs are bursting. Night is falling.
Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.
Trust Him with your life today.
Make Him your Lord and your Savior.
Turn from your sin. Follow Jesus.
He will forgive you of your sin;
Cleanse your heart, made new within.

Men betraying: Our trust fraying.
On our knees to God we’re praying,
Seeking God to give us answers
That are only found in Him.
God is sovereign over all things.
Nothing from His mind escaping.
He has all things under His command,
And will work all for good.

Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.

Men deceiving: We’re believing
In our Lord, and interceding
For our nation and its people
To obey their God today.
He is our hope for our future.
For our wounds He offers suture.
He is all we need for this life.
Trust Him with your life today.
