The American Financial System

May 1998
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
As we edge closer and closer to the year 2000, with some 600 days left to go, it has become more and more clear to me that there will be drastic changes in the United States and also in the rest of the world.
At first I did not take the computer date problem too seriously, I simply believed that with the tremendous technology that we have today, someone could write a program that would fix the problem. Then our Bible teacher and computer expert Michael Blair, educated me and showed me why it was impossible to write such a program and that it would take years to bring all major computer systems to the level where they would be able to accept four digits to correctly indicate a designated year. Currently, the old programs are designed to take only two digits, which will make a difference when we roll over from year 1999 to 2000.
We then held a seminar in our church, in which the entire scenario was laid out. More and more reports have come in to me, showing that the problem is more serious even than what we had presented at this seminar. During the seminar we laid out all of the functions and possible events that we knew could take place, but later more detailed information came in showing that it will be the worst disaster to hit America and the world since World War II.
Briefly, this is why it is going to be such a tremendous problem: All banking, including the stock market and the commodities market are tied together with a global computer system . As January 1, 2000 comes into existence, this entire computer system will break down. The internal clock within the computers will tell the system that we have entered year 00, which the programs will interpret to read 1900.
This will force the computers to cease to function, since the system is now telling itself that the years from 1901 to 1999 never existed. The computers can no longer process transactions, since the time is incorrect, and according to the programs no records exist. Thus, no financial activity or business, depending upon the computer system, will function and the banks, the stock market, the commodities market, including all transportation systems from railroads to air lines, will shut down. Until new programs can be created and the old data transferred with corrected dates, the system will be down.
The only way to operate at this point, is to go back to the old system before computers existed, people manually handling all transactions. This will create a nightmare, since hundreds of thousands of people will be needed to handle this job load. The cost in wages will be sky high.
Since all American banks are required to have only 1.2% cash in reserve, there will not be enough cash for people to use instead of checkbooks and credit cards. If you have a hard time believing this, just call your local bank and ask them if you can come in later today and withdraw $5,000.00 in cash from your account. Unless your bank is a mega branch in a large city, you will be told that they will have to order in the cash and that it might take a day or two before it will be on hand. Furthermore, you will be forced to sign a form, which will be passed an to several government agencies, notifying them that you have taken out this much cash from your own account.
Already it is a known fact that the major players in the stock market are selling their shares and moving their money into other investments, such as rare gold and silver coins or real estate holdings. You might argue and state that the stock market is just going up and up. This is true, but the rich and the powerful political leaders in the world are no longer there; they have been replaced by speculators and Mutual Funds.
It is also a known fact, that most people working in the computer field, no longer hold savings accounts or are in any paper investments of any kind. As we got closer and closer to the year 2000, these facts will become known to more and more people, and the banks and credit unions will lose their savings account customers and people will take out their cash. This is going to put more strain on the system which is about to fail.
Thus, by mid 1999, it will become clear to the politicians running the United States that a panic situation is at hand and they are powerless to correct it. That will leave them with only one option, to have the President of the United States declare a National Emergency and suspend the Constitution for the time being. The President will then have 60 days to fix the problem or ask Congress for an unlimited extension. just like Franklin D. Roosevelt did in 1933. That would most likely mean that Clinton would suspend the election for year 2000, thus extending himself indefinitely as President.
The only option the President will have, is to declare all Federal Reserve Notes of the United States invalid, and ask the Government to introduce an emergency debit card to every legal resident in the United States. Using a new backup system, that has no connection to the old banking system, people will be issued electronic monetary units, which they can use to pay rent, mortgage, food and other things they need. All salaries and pensions will be paid with this electronic fund transfer system. Most likely it will mean a total financial loss of all savings and stocks and bonds in the old system for the average American.
You might now ask this question, “HOW CAN THEY DO THAT TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?” Ask that question to any Russian. When the Soviet Union ceased to exist on December 25, 1991, the whole financial system went with it and the Russian people lost all their savings. Whatever they had was wiped out, as the old currency was recalled and they were issued new money, with a reduction in rate.
BANKING MERGERS
We are now seeing large banks merging with other large banks, to create “NATIONAL MEGA BANKS,” and this is not happening by chance. The political/financial leadership already know what they are going to do, and it can only be done if there are just a few Mega Banks left in the United States. You will not read too much about this in your local newspapers or hear it from the “three stooges” on the TV networks. This will be kept a secret until the day the ax falls, and then the American people won’t be able to do anything about it. And that’s how the World Government likes it.
I now want to make this particular report available to all the people who are finding this newsletter on our website. Since the report is lengthy and very detailed, we are asking for a donation of $5.00 or more. Not only will we send you a copy of the report, but also an audio cassette of the message I preached in our church, Resurrection Life of Jesus, on May 3, 1998. (RLJ-610) I devoted the entire message to how we as believers in Christ can cope with this catastrophic event that is just about to hit our nation and the world.
I have also recorded eight radio programs which are now airing on our daily radio broadcast during the month of May, in which Michael Blair and I are discussing this issue. If you want to order these radio programs, they come on two audio cassettes, numbers KCBC 1312-1315 and KCBC 1316-1319.
Remember this, life as you and I know it will come to an end in about 14 months. Take a hard look at your savings and investments. Ask God to give you wisdom about what to do with your assets. My advise to you is this, do not go any further into debt, but try to pay off as much as possible. Lean on Jesus, He will be the only one who can take us through this horrible time that is just around the corner.
After reading this letter, do not get depressed! Instead, begin to rejoice in the Lord! Events like this show us that we are closer than ever to the coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. My prayer for you is that God will bless you abundantly and that we shall be able to use these 14 months to pump out the Gospel to the max.

Here it is, another new year which is called 1998. If we are going to be truthful to the birth of Jesus Christ, it is really between year 2005 to 2007. The reason behind this is that the calendars have been changed a number of times, and when changes were made, a mathematical error of 7 to 9 years occurred. It is also important to understand that, at the time of the birth of Jesus, the Roman Empire had its own calendar and that this calendar was not officially changed until around 325 after the birth of Jesus, when the State of Rome and Christianity were merged, Christianity became a state religion and the emperor Constantine also became the first pope.Flaming Sword Newsletter February 1998
This is the month that we are going to print another issue of The Dove. We have been working on this issue since August 1997 and I believe that the information we are going to print is of vital interest to all believers in Christ.There is no doubt in my mind that as we race toward the end times there is going to be a great failing away among Christians but they will not know that they are failing away. They will believe with all of their hearts they are really hearing from God and following men of God, when in reality they have been seduced by demons and led to the slaughter. We are warned about these times in II Thessalonians 2; I Timothy 4:1-3; II Timothy 3:1-13 and II Peter 2:1-3.

We are seeing a battle within the Jewish community which they call "Zipper Gate." Since the election of Netanyahu as the Israeli prime minister, a war has broken out in the Jewish world community. The Jewish rabbis in Israel, who control Judaism or who can be converted to Judaism, have been working to pass laws in Israel which would invalidate American Jews as being Jewish unless they convert and adhere to the strict laws of the fundamental rabbis in Israel. This has the American Jewish community in an uproar. American Jewish leaders like Edgar Bronfman and others have cut off funds going to Israel and are threatening to put a total squeeze on funds from the United States. President Clinton sided with the American Jews and when Netanyahu came to the United States for a visit in 1997, Clinton snubbed the prime minister and would not see him despite that both men were in Los Angeles at the same time.Flaming Sword Newsletter April 1998
During the last ten months, the United States has experienced two tragic incidents in public schools, wherein children brought guns to their schools and murdered a number of their fellow students. This last killing in Jonesboro, Arkansas, has brought agony to people everywhere. How could two boys, 13 and 11 years old, commit such heinous crimes? And this did not take place in some large city, but in a small rural town where we thought things like this could not happen. As I have followed the news and heard the questions raised by news commentators, from parents and from children, I also began to think about it. How can this be explained? A few days ago I heard the Holy Spirit speaking to me and the answer He gave me was a chilling answer: "These people who are murdering in this fashion are all driven by the spirit of offense."Flaming Sword Newsletter May 1998

During the month of May the World Government was very busy making new plans for the rest of the people living on this planet. On May 14-18, The Bilderbergers had their annual meeting held in the luxury resort Tumberry, Scotland, which is located some 55 miles from the city of Glasgow. As always, security was very tight, and despite the fact that this is supposed to be a very "private" meeting of "private" people, the British government furnished full security using British taxpayer's money. Attention this year was focused on globalization, which is the process of accelerating economic, technological, cultural and political integration of all nations into one global political giant, which translates to a World Government. Samuel (Sandy) Berger, White House National Security Adviser, and a regular at the Bilderberger meetings, who is also an American Jew, spoke to the Brooking Institute a few days prior to the meetings in Scotland, wherein he emphasized the need for a speedy globalization, and for the need to eliminate all opposition to this process.Flaming Sword Newsletter July 1998
Anyone opposing the forces of the Antichrist will experience the wrath of the Devil as outlined in Revelation, Chapter 12. What American would have thought that the United States Post Office would be used as a weapon to destroy a Christian ministry which is opposing a decadent and sinful President of the United States? My only comment is, PREPARE FOR A WILD RIDE BEFORE IT IS ALL OVER! The good news is, Satan is going to lose this round, but we have a whole lot of [spiritual] fighting left before we are going to see Jesus.Flaming Sword Newsletter January 2001
For the last year I have been studying, thinking about and praying an what is going to happen at Year 2000 concerning the computer problems facing us on this earth. We had one seminar and I spoke on the subject one, Wednesday night in the church where I am the pastor, but this week it has become clear to me that I have to address the entire congregation of the Resurrection Life of Jesus Church. After reading a number of reports, discussing the subject with people working inside the computer industry and also receiving information from sources within government circles, it is now clear to me that the world is facing a crisis unlike anything since World War II. The crisis that we are facing is going to be two-faced, it will affect our financial institutions and our daily living conditions. In my message (RLJ-626 Transcript) I am going to look at these situations and investigate how it will affect our Christian lives and our daily living. What can we do to prepare for it? Is it possible to prepare?Flaming Sword Newsletter September 1998
As I wrote in my August newsletter the battle over the control of the White House was going to be settled. On August 17, Clinton was backed into a corner from which he was not able to extricate himself as he testified before the Grand Jury in Washington D.C. The evidence against Clinton was overwhelming, and he was forced to acknowledge to the Grand Jury that he had been sexually involved with Monica Lewinsky for a period of some 17 months. The Secret Service records and agents with others testified to the fact that Clinton and Lewinsky had met often and alone for long periods of time. That evening Clinton went on national television and told the American people and the world that he had lied, although his speech writers had carefully crafted a speech that made him say he had misled the American people and his own staff. Instead of saying that he was asking for forgiveness, he used the word "regret."Flaming Sword Newsletter October 1998
There is a conspiracy between President Clinton and the Congress to fool the American people into thinking that the American economy is in an unstoppable growth pattern, despite the fact that the economy is in shambles in Asia and Russia has no economy at all. On September 30,1998, President Clinton went on public TV and gloated over the $70 billion budget surplus for which he was taking credit. Just a few days earlier, the Republicans legislated new tax cuts to spend the budget surplus. My question is this, Is there a budget surplus? The answer is no! If I ran my personal finances the way the American Government runs the nation, I would eventually end up in total bankruptcy. If I, as an individual, would neglect my debts and simply stop paying them, while continuing to borrow more money without paying it off, I would also show a surplus at the end of each month.Flaming Sword Newsletter November 1998
America can currently be compared to life on a farm, where the rooster stands proud on the dung hill, crowing about how great he is and that his accomplishments are fabulous. America is the dung hill, the rooster is Bill Clinton who is now gloating over the results of the national election. He does not understand that in the eyes of God he is a lying, cheating adulterer living a perverted life. The American people knew all this about Clinton, but they love this man because perverted people do not want to have righteous men to rule over them; they want rulers with reprobate minds who are as vile and filthy as they are themselves. I do not imply that God is a Republican; he does not take on any role like that; God is a righteous God who demands holiness from people. But men who are not saved and washed in the blood of Jesus cannot be holy. The Bible tells us that man’s righteousness is as filthy rags. (Isaiah 64:6) But that does not give man the license to sin and mock God.Flaming Sword Newsletter December 1998
God spoke some 550 years before Christ through the prophet Daniel, that in the last days in the history of the earth, there would be a world dictator ruling a world federation. (Daniel 11:31-39). This was confirmed by Jesus who spoke about "the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel," and the great tribulation. (Matthew 24:15-22) The apostle Paul gave us more detailed information about this world ruler, and how this "Wicked Man, the Son of Perdition," shall not only rule the world, but deceive people on a scale that the world has never seen before. (II Thessalonians 2:1-12) It is the risen Christ who in 90 AD took the apostle John in the spirit into heaven itself and showed him the great revelation of Jesus Christ, which was written down and became the last book in the Bible. In Chapter 13 of the book of Revelation, we are given chilling details of this kingdom of darkness and how it will control all buying and selling on the earth by introducing the "MARK OF THE BEAST." (Revelation 13:1-18).You can use PayPal to make a donation or send a check in the mail. One time donations help temporarily but we need friends who will commit to giving regularly.
