The rise of the saints, part 9

September 17, 2011 was the final day of Operation Jericho. When we met at the State Capital in St. Paul that day, my part was to read the message to the church of Thyatira and to give a short comment. I said this:

“Thus saith the Lord: [pointing to the capitol building] Honor your congressmen; honor your senators; honor your judges; [pointing to the people] but to YOU I give the throne. To YOU I give the scepter. As you overcome, My face will be seen in you, with eyes as a flame of fire going to and fro throughout the earth.”

I knew that this signified the overthrow of Jezebel, who was an Old Testament type of the great harlot in Revelation17:1, the woman representing Mystery Babylon herself.

At the end, everyone gave a great shout, even as the Israelites shouted to bring down the walls of Jericho (Joshua 6:20). About 300 of us (318?) shouted at 3:18 p.m., calling attention to the 318 men that Abraham sent into battle to overthrow the kings of Shinar (Babylon) in Genesis 14:14.

At that moment, a woman happened to be walking down the steps of the capitol building behind us. She fell on the steps. I know nothing about her, but it appears that she was the type of Jezebel that was being overthrown.

Occupy Wall Street

While we were gathered at the State Capital in St. Paul, protesters began to gather at Wall Street in New York City to begin their “Occupy Wall Street” movement.

“The original protest was called for by Kalle Lasn and others of Adbusters, a Canadian anti-consumerist publication, who conceived of a September 17 occupation in Lower Manhattan…

“The protest itself began on September 17…”

So while we were gathering in St. Paul at the climax of Operation Jericho to tear down the walls of spiritual Jericho/Babylon, the “Occupy Wall Street” protesters were gathering to tear down Wall Street on account of its greed and theft of wealth. The protesters of the OWS movement were the secular/carnal version of what we were doing, but news accounts took note that this movement seemed to unite liberals and conservatives—both of whom opposed the Federal Reserve System and its financial empire.

The Associated Press reported in an article, saying,

“The 12 regional banks in the Fed system are private companies, and are not part of the U.S. government. They are owned by the banks that they regulate. Each board has three members who represent those banks and six who represent the public.”

In 1971 I first learned that the Federal Reserve Bank was a private bank owned by a dozen wealthy banking families. At the time, very few knew this. Most claimed that this was just a “conspiracy theory.” Now it is being reported openly, as Mystery Babylon is exposed.

A few days after Operation Jericho, congressman Dennis Kucinich of Ohio introduced a bill that would take back the power to create money as the constitution had established.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) on Sept. 21 introduced the National Emergency Employment Defense Act (NEED), H.R. 2990, which would remove the power of creating money from the privately owned and controlled Federal Reserve System and restore to Congress to constitutionally create money interest-free….

H.R. 2990 “would . . . reassert congressional sovereignty and regain control of monetary policy from private banks,” according to Kucinich, and the bill would “address our structural economic problems directly by creating over 7 million jobs,” when “the nation struggles with long-term unemployment at rates not seen in generations, and as infrastructure crumbles across the nation.”

The world rulers of modern Babylon have divided the people into conservatives and liberals, Democrats and Republicans, communists and capitalists in order to “divide and conquer.” They have always controlled both sides of any major issue as a matter of policy. But with the Occupy Wall Street movement in 2011 we began to see severe cracks in their control. The people began to reunite with a common goal, as more and more people began to learn that Mystery Babylon was their common enemy that kept the people divided and poor.

This was particularly gratifying to me, since I had learned this in 1971 while attending the University of Minnesota. My professors were all atheists, and half of them were proud of their status as card-carrying communists. This drove me to study history, and what I learned (in spite of these professors) established a foundation of political truth that soon translated into a desire for the overthrow of Babylon and the establishment of God’s Kingdom.

The Tabernacles Conference in 2011

Our conference was held at the Millennium Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri October 7-9, 2011. This was a week early, because October 8 was actually Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. October 8, 2011 was 9 x 490 days from September 11, 1999, the day we celebrated Jesus’ 2000^th birthday at Port Austin, Michigan. The 490 suggests that this was a Blessed Time cycle.

The same time cycle could also be divided into 210 x 21 days, which brings up the number 21, "the time of Jacob’s distress” (Jeremiah 30:7). In this case it indicated that we had come to the END of Jacob’s distress (21 and 210), while coming into Blessed Time (490).

The same time cycle could also be divided into 80 x 46. The number 46 is the biblical number that means ”temple” (John 2:20). The Greek word for temple is naos, which appears 46 times in the New Testament. In this case, destroying the temple and raising it up again suggests a death and resurrection on some level.

I awoke on the morning of October 8, 2011 with the revelation that “Hezekiah” had died and that “Manasseh” was now taking the throne. The name Manasseh means “causing to forget.” But in this case, we were remembering, since we were living at the end of the time of forgetfulness. Hezekiah’s extension of fifteen years had ended, having begun on Yom Kippur of 1996 and having ended on Yom Kippur of 2011.

Recall that on September 23, 1996 (Yom Kippur) we had been led to declare the Jubilee according to the revelation of the Hezekiah Factor. This gave “Hezekiah” a fifteen-year extension of life, which ended fully on Yom Kippur of 2011. No doubt this was why we were led to hold the conference on the weekend of Yom Kippur, rather than a week later at Tabernacles.

If Hezekiah’s extension of life began in 1996, then Manasseh was born in 1999, because 2 Chronicles 33:1 tells us that “Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king.” It is as if Manasseh had been born on Jesus’ 2000^th birthday (September 11, 1999), overlaying the birth of Manasseh with the birth of Christ.

Recall also that when Jesus was twelve years old (Luke 2:42), He told His parents, “Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?” (Luke 2:49). The KJV reads, “I must be about My Father’s business.”

This was our understanding of the revelation in 2011. Though we not yet fully mature, we were to be about our Father’s business.

King Manasseh as a Prophetic Type

The biblical Manasseh himself was the worst king of Judah, whose sins exceeded all the wicked kings that preceded him. 2 Chronicles 33:9 says,

⁹ Thus Manasseh misled Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do more evil than the nations [i.e., the Canaanites] whom the Lord destroyed before the sons of Israel.

As a result, God caused Manasseh to be carried into captivity. 2 Chronicles 33:10-13 says,

¹⁰ The Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention. ¹¹ Therefore the Lord brought the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria against them, and they captured Manasseh with hooks, bound him with bronze chains and took him to Babylon [a province of Assyria at that time]. ¹² When he was in distress, he entreated the Lord his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. ¹³ When he prayed to Him, He was moved by his entreaty and heard his supplication and brought him again to Jerusalem to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord was God.

Manasseh’s repentance was real, for we read in 2 Chronicles 33:15, 16,

¹⁵ He also removed the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the Lord… ¹⁶ He set up the altar of the Lord and sacrificed peace offerings and thank offerings on it, and he ordered Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel.”

In his wicked days, King Manasseh was a prophetic type of America in its early days, showing the cause of the captivity to Mystery Babylon in 1913. In his repentance, King Manasseh was a prophetic type of those who repent at the end of the Babylonian captivity. The individual king thus represents many generations of people in the end times. At first, he forgot God, as his name suggests, but after his Babylonian captivity, he remembered the God of his fathers.

In that sense, October 8, 2011 can be seen as the day that Manasseh was reinstated as king, as well as the day that he first became king at the age of twelve. Manasseh had two coronations, as it were, and from the standpoint of prophecy, these overlay each other. The main difference is that the first coronation began a season of forgetting God, while the second part of his reign was where he remembered God.

Recall that the Assyrians had threatened to kill King Hezekiah during the siege of Jerusalem, and if they had succeeded, it would have ended the line leading to Christ. Hezekiah appealed to God and he and the city were delivered. Manasseh was born three years later to continue Hezekiah’s lineage, resulting ultimately in the birth of Jesus Christ.

Overall, Manasseh represented the reunification of Judah and Joseph-Israel. Though he was the king of Judah, he was named after the son of Joseph. 2 Kings 19:30 makes him a type of the remnant, saying,

³⁰ The surviving remnant of the house of Judah will again take root downward and bear fruit upward.

Manasseh represented the remnant of grace in general, but more specifically, the remnant alive today in the time of the repentance at the end of the Babylonian captivity. We who follow in the footsteps of the repentant king are that remnant of grace. We have become members of the tribe of Judah through heart circumcision (Romans 2:28, 29), and our “praise” (Judah means praise) “is not from men but from God.”

We are of the tribe of Judah if we support Jesus Christ’s claim to the scepter of Judah, which was the main issue in His first coming. We are also of the tribe of Joseph-Israel if we support Christ’s claim to Joseph’s birthright in His second coming. If we support both of Christ’s claims, then we are like Manasseh, the king of Judah who was named after the son of Joseph.

These are the “saints of the Most High” to whom the dominion will be given when Daniel 7:22 is fulfilled.
