The Decline of America

The Flaming Sword Newsletter

By John Torell

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.

The Democratic party in the United States is a coalition of a number of groups which have this in common: they have rejected God, rejoice in sin and all possible vices and are determined that the murdering of babies shall be protected by the law, that homosexuals shall be treated the same as a minority group with all its legal rights, that pornography shall be able to flourish and that “Bible-believing born again Christians” shall be labeled as “neo Nazi militants,” who must be neutralized at any cost. In order for the Christian to understand what is driving Clinton and the Democratic party, I am going to quote the following article written by national syndicated columnist Linda Bowles and published on September 23, 1998, in the Washington Times.

“The base of this party consists of a number of special interest groups, including the sky-is-falling environmentalists, abortion industry workers, bilingualists, illegal immigrants, ideologically homeless ex-communists, communists, convicted felons, pornographers posing as artists, propagandists posing as journalists, network ancors, food stamp junkies, anti-American multi-culturalists, hard-core feminists, abused and abusable women, the venereally diseased, anti-tobacco fascists, anti-religious bigots, latent anti-religious clerics, pro-gay clergy, gay clergy, government employees, union bosses, government contractors, the sexually disoriented, educrats, trial lawyers, the willing poor, drug addicts, old sin New Age atheists, race hustlers, members of the black caucus, professional victims, punk musicians, condom manufacturers, proud and practicing members of the North American Man-Boy Love Association and dead people buried near Chicago.”

Before you explode in anger and call me names, think about the agenda of the Democratic party. The party protects a sitting President who has lied to the American people, committed perjury under oath and while in office had sexual relationships with a young female intern at the White House. The party is responsible for legalizing abortion upon demand, hindering parents to find out if their underage daughters are given an abortion during school hours, instituting sexual education to children in public schools beginning at age eight and handing out free condoms to children in the public schools. The ACLU, a militant Jewish arm of the Democratic party is responsible for taking the Bible out of public schools, forbidding any Biblical teaching in public schools, forbidding prayer by students, demanding that evolution be taught as a fact, not as a theory, and that the Biblical account of creation cannot be taught in American public schools.

It was the Democratic party that over the years pushed for legislation which took away the laws that our forefathers had passed outlawing homosexuality and making homosexuality a felony. Once the penal laws had been removed, the Democratic party pushed for legislation to protec homosexuals and give them a very privileged status. The Democratic party gave the legal rights to homosexual couples to adopt children, and thus pervert them. The Democratic party is now pushing legislation to permit homosexuals to be able to marry and receive the same status as a normal married family, consisting of a man and his wife.

The Democratic party has opened the doors for pornography, calling it “free speech.”

The Department of Education has been a tool to “dumb down” American children and educate them to become perverted, godless, drug addicts, not being able to read, who as grown ups will respond to the propaganda of the Democrats and vote for Democratic candidates. The job is now finished, the remaining Americans who have Biblical morals are now in a minority, and just like king Ahab and his queen Jezebel reigned in Israel some 2,800 years ago and destroyed that nation with their sins and perversion, so Bill and Hillary Clinton are now free to do the same in America, having received a mandate from the American people.

David Wilkerson, a man of God and also a prophet sent by God, shared in his October newsletter about the homosexual play currently playing in the city of New York called “Corpus Christi,” and in it Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is depicted as a homosexual, and heavily involved in homosexual acts with the apostles and with Judas Iscariot as his favorite sexual partner. This play is partly subsidized with taxpayers money, compliments of the Democratic party. I cannot understand the people who make up the Democratic party. Why do they have to promote all that is sin and why do they hate God so much, that in their blasphemy, they have to mock God’s only begotten son?

Here is what Wilkerson says:

"I asked the Lord how our church could fight back. The Holy Spirit spoke very clearly to my heart, saying -- ‘Do not fight. This is my battle! This is now out of your hands -- out of everybody’s hands! Today God signs the death warrant -- this is the day America dies! It dies as the world’s leading power!’"

When I read this, I went to prayer myself and asked the Lord, why he could not just punish the people doing this evil, why does the whole nation have to suffer? Here is what I heard the Lord tell me.

“The Christian church in America is deeply into sin. Most Christians in America are deeply into idolatry and they do not even know it. This sin is worse than the sins of ungodly, unsaved people.”

Here is the terrible truth. Yes, the Democrats are more than bad, but the blame for the moral decay of the American people can only be laid in one place, and that is at the feet of all the pastors and evangelists and other Christian leaders, who for the last 70 years have destroyed the Gospel of Jesus Christ, cheapened it, and proclaimed loose moral living from the pulpits, saying that since we are under grace and saved by grace, it does not matter how we live, as long as we have love.

In reality, the American pastors and evangelists are joining Bill Clinton on the dung hill and proudly proclaiming that there is a current revival in the land. This is true, but the revival they are talking about is not from God, it is a selfish heal-me-now-Lord and make-me-filthy-rich revival that is sweeping the land. There is very little preaching on repentance, holiness and that those who reject Christ will go to hell when they die.

The pack of Christian leaders who are today leading the Christian church astray are first of all the so-called TV evangelists, with men like Pat Robertson, Paul Crouch, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Hagin, Sr. and Junior, plus scores of others. They are raising millions of dollars, building their networks and allowing false doctrine to be preached over their stations. If you want to know in detail how bad it is and what is really spoken, write me and ask for a free copy of “The Confused World of Paul and Jan Crouch.” Hosea 4:1-14

It is also very important that you understand that all Republicans are not Christians. But because of the Christian influence, the Republican values are closer to what the Bible teaches.

WHAT CAN YOU AND I DO?
Living in California is going to be worse than the rest of the nation. With the election of Gray Davis, nominally a Roman Catholic, but a practicing “no faith at all in God,” and with the rest of the State leadership in democratic hands, expect a tidal wave of the homosexuals flooding into all areas of leadership with new laws being passed that will open up the doors for sin not seen since the days of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Expect the pedofiles to come out of the closet and demand their day in the land. It is going to be a free for all, all hell breaking loose, no restraints, no hold backs, in the biggest sinner party seen on this planet. And as they have said for years, what happens in California will eventually be passed on to the rest of the nation, and then to the rest of the world. The Devil is more than happy; his perverts will now occupy many offices and do his bidding.

Being a pastor in Sacramento, the very center of the hell hole with Gray Davis as governor in California, it is going to be rough. We now have no one to whom to appeal. There will be no one in charge who will hold up morality. Our only solution is to believe in God, to begin to pray and fast like we have never done before, asking God to intervene in his mercy. We must triple our effort in preaching the Gospel and leading people to Christ.

We do have the power to pray for the salvation of even the most vilest political leader. And if they will not accept Christ, we have the power to pray that God will remove them from office. Remember, the angel of the Lord smote king Herod and he died on the spot. Acts 12:19-24 God is not mocked, his judgment is now upon our nation and there will be much pain for the sinners, but this judgment will begin at the house of God. I Peter 4:14-18

If I could paint you a picture, our situation now is like the American soldiers experienced in Korea in the early part of that war in the 1950’s. The communists broke through their lines and began to drive south until they had almost driven the Americans into the sea. The cry was heard, “Breakthrough, breakthrough, the lines are crumbling.” Battle hardened American soldiers were able to stabilize the lines far to the south, and then led by general Douglas McArthur, American marines landed at Inchon and pushed inland and cut off the communists who where later mopped up and destroyed.

This is where we are today; the sinners have broken down the lines of the Christians and we now need to rally. We rally by seeking the Lord, repenting of our sins, asking God to send a holiness revival into our lives, and then expect God to move. It has been done before, and it could happen again. But it will depend upon what you and I do. If we do not take this seriously and seek the Lord, the battle will be lost. What are you going to do?

This revival is not going to begin from the top, it is going to come from the simple Christian soldier who in agony cries out to God for mercy and help. Will you become that Christian solder?

As a pastor I am preaching holiness and seeking the Lord. If you want to be part of this, tell us that you want to subscribe to my weekly sermons so that you can hear in your home what the people hear at Resurrection Life of Jesus Church in Sacramento. Many are now subscribing, but the numbers need to be increased.

1998 - Another New Year

Flaming Sword Newsletter January 1998

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.

Exposing the Counterfeit Anointing

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 dud 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.

The Battle for Control within the Jewish Community

Flaming Sword Newsletter March 1998

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.

The Spirit of Offense

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."

The American Financial System

Flaming Sword Newsletter May 1998

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.

The Impending Computer Problem

Flaming Sword Newsletter June 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.

Persecution Upon Christians is Growing

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.

The Coming Judgment of God

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?

Trouble is Brewing Ahead

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."

Financial Concerns in the World

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.

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.

How the World Government is Set Up

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).
