Jean's Requested Explanation
Part 1 of 4

This is the explanation that Jean asked me to write about the Middle East. I plan to send it out in four parts mid-week, for four weeks in addition to the regular weekly newsletter.

The four parts are:

Part I - Introduction
              &nb sp; and the
                 Ancient History of Israel
Part II - Events of the Last Century
Part III - The Two Secret Documents
                 and the
                 Beginning History of Islam
Part IV - The Final Culminating Acts

As mentioned, this series has been written at Jean's request and so had to meet her approval. She kept coming back with, "You have to tell them about ..." and "Explain this", so it grew in length. I learned a lot while writing it - as I always do.

I also wish to thank Kim, Rae, and Penny for editing and critiquing it.

As usual, if you have any suggestions about it, please send them - and I will try to incorporate them into a revised version, for publishing I don't know where or when.

Part I - Introduction and the Ancient History of Israel

Introduction

I look at current events and try to understand why things are as they are and where they are going. The following is my current comprehension from having studied into this as deeply as I have. Should someone find a mistaken 'fact' here, I will greatly appreciate having them tell me so that I can correct it.
The Writer's Paradigm
All writing about history is based upon the writer's paradigm - that is to say the writer's perception of the world. My paradigm is that the affairs of man are guided by Divine Will/Divine Destiny. When I look at one of the oldest historical records of those affairs, I am astounded at how related current events are to ancient events and how prophecies given at the time of the ancient events appear to be playing out today in what many refer to as the 'Last Days', a term used in the ancient prophecies.



The Restoration of Israel
Specifically, this paradigm holds that present events revolve around the 'restoration of Israel', and the destinies of the City of Jerusalem and the City of Damascus, and that the culmination of current world events ('The Last Days') is tied to those destinies. When we look at the record of present day 'futurists' we see that they have difficulty predicting events 10 years out, and yet The Bible is a Book that thousands of years earlier accurately predicted the restoration of Israel and the predominant role of two specific cities - Jerusalem and Damascus at the time Israel would be restored. I know of no comparable forecasting elsewhere.
The Uniqueness of this Last Century
The last hundred years has witnessed the 37 million casualties of World War One and 60 million killed in World War Two. Even those incomprehensible numbers fail to take into account the tragedies of those wounded, widowed and orphaned, nor the immense numbers more left homeless and in poverty in a disturbed century of the sub-conflicts of Armageddon in innumerable locales such as in Korea, Vietnam, throughout S.E. Asia, Africa and elsewhere throughout the world. It has been a century of immense light that saw greater advance in the social, economic and scientific affairs of man, than all previous centuries combined, and a century of immense darkness that saw greater dissolution of morals accompanied by death and destruction of more millions than all previous centuries combined. A process that is continuing today.

Of course, none of the tragedy that has occurred before holds a candle to The Last Great Battle of Armageddon and The Great Catastrophe that looms on our horizon. Those are themes that I deal with elsewhere, and which are not a part of this accounting.
The Key Role of Certain Individuals
Some will question then, among the overwhelming number of events and persons, why I have chosen these few events and individuals to present here. The reason is, that I feel they present a thread woven through the tapestry of history, that when we pull upon that single thread it pulls together the tapestry of events, in such a way, that we can see the Divine Destiny.

While the present day events are dramatic and alarming, the activities surrounding the Divinely Ordained Events have a human face and have left a secular record in the century of activity culminating in the activities that we see before us today in Syria (Damascus) and Israel (Jerusalem). Some of the names mentioned in this account may be familiar to you, and others not, but you will find here an accounting that brings together the names and roles of Woodrow Wilson, Nathan Birnbaum, Theodor Herzl, Baron Rothschild, Balfour, Sykes, Picot, Lawrence of Arabia, Tudor Pole, Abdu'l-Baha, General Allenby, Adolph Hitler, the MS St. Louis, the Exodus 1947, Ben-Gurion, Caliph Abu Bakr.

I have listed the above names roughly in their historical order or rather in relation to the historical order of events in which they played a part. In the newspaper headlines at the time of the actual events there were many other names, some much more prominent, and there were multi-millions whose acts and whose names never made the headlines at all, who undoubtedly affected the course/path of history towards its Defined Destiny.

Most assuredly it is questionable that many of those individuals, whose role that I have chosen to recount, understood their role in The Destiny towards which the world marches. Few today understand The Destiny itself. Armageddon and The Great Catastrophe, as stupendous as they may be, are but marks along the path, indicating by their momentousness the importance to which all this leads. But that too, is another story with which I will not deal here. I personally can list a dozen, nearer to two dozen, differing paradigms regarding the nature of the world and its Destiny. Many views revolve around quite differing concepts regarding The Return of Christ, the coming of the Muslim Mahdi, or comparable events in the Buddhist and Hindu religions.
Where it all leads
The five thousand year old Divine Record, recorded in the Bible, culminating in what is called the "Last Days" or "The End", actually only brings us to the end of the "Prophetic Period" and the threshold which marks the beginning of the development of humanity's current Divine Civilization on this planet. "The Divine Purpose of Fulfillment" is to continue five-hundred thousand (500,000) years, which is a hundred times longer than the five-thousand (5,000) year "Prophetic Period" from which we are emerging. Any who desire to understand my views on that matter will have to look in other of my works, but we are very blessed to live in the time of transition when we can be of the great service to humanity in progressing toward its goal of spiritual civilization.

Any atheists, or those who believe that the Bible is merely a collection of myths, may well discount my paradigm, but they should still accept that my analysis comprehends the motives of certain powerful players in current events, who do subscribe to some similar paradigm.

The Ancient History

The past predicts/portends/plots the present; and today's present had its beginning when King David, (son of Judah, son of Jacob (Israel), son of Isaac and therefore-) the great, great grandson of Abraham, purchased a threshing floor in order to obtain land for the building of a Temple in Jerusalem by his son, King Solomon, as penance for having disobeyed the Lord and in appreciation of having survived a terrible plague (think Ebola).
The purchase of the land for the Temple
The story is here:
      1 Chronicles
      21:22 Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: ...

      21:23 And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all.

      21:24 And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.

      21:25 So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.

      21:26 And David built there an altar unto the LORD ...

      22:1 Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.

      22:5 And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.

      22:6 Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel.
Thus it is that we have this ancient record of purchase for the site of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem by the Jews, the descendants of Judah and Jacob (who wrestled with an Angel and had his name changed to Israel). I won't go into the details of how the Temple was destroyed and rebuilt (the date of which is the marker date for all future Biblical prophecy), nor how according to the Prophecy of Jesus that Second Temple would be destroyed -
The prophecy of Jesus about the Temple
      Matthew:
      24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

      24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

      24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

      24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
Suffice it to say that the Temple site and the Wailing Wall that was left outside it became very significant to the Jews, Christians and Muslims. It is considered by the Jews to be the Most Holy Site and Jerusalem is mentioned in the Bible 747 times (I counted it). The Pope feels it should be under Christian control because of Jesus and the Muslims consider it the Third Most Holy Site after Mecca and Medina and are determined that they shall control it because of a night vision of Muhammad, although Jerusalem is not mentioned even once by name in the Quran.
The Destiny of Jerusalem
Needless to say, the vortex of world history swirls around Jerusalem and the Temple - in the past, in the present, and in that which it presages/portends/prophesizes for the future. The promises and prophecies regarding Jerusalem and the promises of God to Abraham regarding all the peoples and religions of the world, are told about in the Bible (particularly in the Book of Revelation). Many interpret the unfulfilled events, regarding the Building of the Third Temple, the central role that Jerusalem will play, and so forth, in accordance with their own theologies, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and there are immense varieties of interpretations within each of those major divisions.

All that I have related so far, all occurred over two-thousand years ago and whether or not you think it is true or not, there is a centuries old record of it that inspires/motivates great numbers of people towards what they call the rebuilding of The Third Temple. Over the centuries, these concepts have inspired momentous events from the Crusades, to the establishment of Masonry, and so forth. They were the basis of the historical theory of Isaac Newton, considered by many as the greatest scientist of all time, and the subject of the manuscript for a book that I have written and will gladly share with any who wish to critique it.

Unity and Love,

Jean's Requested Explanation

The explanation that Jean asked me to write about the Middle East has been delayed. I planned to send it out mid-week this last week, but now the plan is to send it out in four supplementary segments - one segment mid-week for four weeks, starting this week.

The problem was that Jean rejected my first three drafts, and then corrections had to be made after critique by three editors. All have agreed that it can be sent now - so hopefully, starting Wednesday.

Looking for the Causes


The trends and intensity increase in:

Iran
Iraq
Islamic State
Syria
Pakistan/India

Activities in:

Ukraine (supposedly under cease fire)
Gaza (likewise)
Japan/China
N./S. Korea
etc.
will continue to fester.

We never know what tomorrow's headlines will be - but probably not - "Christ Has Returned" or "World Peace, Prosperity, Justice has been achieved".

I am sure you will continue to track the news, so I am going to turn my attention to other matters in this newsletter as we look for causes of the present situation.

First I wish to discuss the subject of Spiritual Stress and share with you some things I have learned about Wahhabism, the basis of the religion of the Caliph of the new Islamic State - and then I shall present the third installment in the series about LERNs, the system which you need to know how to implement in a universal Post-Holocaust situation.

Spiritual Stress

Much of the world today is under spiritual stress. As you may have noted - I often remark about the number of suicides that I hear about. This news this week from WHO (The World Health Organization) is that every 40 seconds, someone commits suicide. Many more attempt it.

Another indicator is that about 25% of Americans are on prescribed anti-depressants

Personally, I see these as spiritual health issues. I am not going to mention a plethora of other indicators such as drug usage, crime rates, size of prison populations, divorce rates, alcoholism, pornography usage, and a list that just goes on and on.

I think today that another indicator is that over 40% of all births in the US today are to unwed mothers.

Societies and individuals wrestle with these issues - and sometimes lose on the opposite side of the coin. I had one friend here at Ark Two who did the the Skoptsy thing, and I can tell you that was a bloody mess.

It is a bloody mess for the whole of societies to go that way too. At one time Skoptsy was much more popular. Their goal was 144,000 and they reportedly did make it up over 100,000. I think we are seeing something very similar with Wahhabis as far as society is concerned in the Middle East.

In their rejection of Western culture and its LGBT trends, high drug usage, extensive pornography, (or standards in common entertainment that are very close to it), almost universal usage of language that is either profane or obscene, and a variety of other issues which I will agree are decadent, the State of Islam is in the process of creating mayhem on its total society equivalent to the Skoptsy effect on the individual.

Wahhabis

The foundation of these beliefs/acts is to be found in the Wahhabi teachings/traditions. In addition to the usual Sharia Law:
regarding which foods are permissible
wearing the veil
observing prayers
handling the dead
and the rest of the long list –
regarding marriage
charity
punishment for adultery, rape,
profaning Islam,
leaving Islam,
for which the punishment for the latter is death-

Wahhabis forbid:

performing or listening to music,
dancing,
fortune telling,
amulets,
television programs (unless religious),
smoking,
playing backgammon, chess, or cards, drawing human or animal figures,
acting in a play or writing fiction (both are considered forms of lying),
dissecting cadavers (even in criminal investigations and for the purposes of medical research),
recorded music played over telephones on hold,
the sending of flowers to friends or relatives who are in the hospital

Common Muslim practices Wahhabis believe are contrary to Islam include:

listening to music in praise of Muhammad,
praying to God while visiting tombs (including the tomb of Muhammad),
celebrating mawlid (birthday of the Prophet),
the use of ornamentation on or in mosques.
The driving of motor vehicles by women
dream interpretationism
non-Muslim friendships no matter how innocent these may appear
celebrating foreign days (such as Valentine's Day or Mothers Day)
shaving, cutting or trimming of beards,
giving of flowers,
standing up in honor of someone
celebrating birthdays (including the Prophet's)
keeping or petting dogs
smiling at non-Muslims
football (soccer)
traveling or working outside the home by a woman without their husband's permission.

The other thing astounding to me was the number of Sunni Mosques and Shrines that had been destroyed by the Wahhabis. Other Muslims prevented them, but they wanted to destroy the tomb of the Prophet and the Kaaba.

Wahhabis have been around since the 1700s and the sect has been the practice of Saudi Arabia, but this may be really something new and fierce with the new Caliph of the Islamic State.

Anyway, it is not just the Baha’is, Buddhists, Hindus, that they pick on – but most everyone else. My son Bonnar said tonight that it is good that they wish to focus just on God - but bad that they are so intolerant of everyone else.

I think that sums it up.


The LERN System - Third Part of the Presentation

The System being described here is that of a LERN (Local Economy Resource Network). In this part of the presentation I shall describe the first elements of the governance system and how the initial administrators are selected.

Selection of the Administrators

A show of hands will do to show how many administrators are to be selected by the group. There can be five, seven, or nine. Some odd number. The administrators can change the number for later elections. If there is difficulty in getting people to participate then a smaller number may be better to begin with.

Voter List

A list is generated of all the persons in the voting area who are age 15 or older.

At the beginning if a thorough and accurate census has not been taken - the list may be more or less just those present. However, everyone in the geographic area, over the age of fifteen, is eligible to be on the list - and should be on it.

The voter list is displayed before or circulated through the group.

Some system needs to be devised so that all the voters (everyone who is present who lives in the designated area, and is fifteen years of age or older) can identify the people on the list.

For example - each person on the list could be asked to stand when their name is called out.

The voters should write on a sheet of paper the names of the individuals they wish to vote for, up to the number of names of positions to be filled.

Qualifications to Be an Administrator

The more the group matures the better the administrators it will select. The whole issue of qualities should be discussed, presented, debated. However, selection should not be made on popularity and there is NO nominating, campaigning, or public recommending.

The casting of the ballots

The group needs to select, through some process, three individuals to count the ballots. In the present world it is said that he who counts the ballots chooses the winner. It is important then to have confidence in the tellers.

The voting should be very open and clear.

The paper for the ballots should all be the same size and color.
They should all be folded once or twice in the same way.

The voter should come to the front of the room in the alphabetic order that they are on the voting list fold their ballot before the view of everyone in the room and lay the ballot on a tray held by a teller, so that everyone may see that they have cast a single ballot.
The teller then empties the tray of the single ballot - into a glass box like an aquarium.

Counting of the ballots

Once all the ballots have been collected - the tellers take them from the glass box and stack them on an open table in view of the room.

The first and second teller together examine each ballot and announce the names on the ballot and the third teller writes down new names read adding a tick mark beside each name that has been read previously.

After all the ballots have been counted - any individual who has received over fifty percent of the number of the voters present - is then elected.

If less than the number to be elected have received over fifty percent of the votes - then an additional vote is taken - where all the voters put up to the number of names for the positions to still be selected. For example - if there are seven positions - and 4 have been selected - then the new ballots are to have up to 3 names - and the process is repeated.

And again, repeatedly if necessary.

To simplify the process it may be useful - to have all the individuals who received a vote on the previous ballot - (but who were not elected) to stand as those names are read, along with the number of votes they received.

In the subsequent ballots the voters are NOT restricted to voting only for those who have received votes in the previous balloting.

The two key points is that the process must be completely - very open and above board - and that there is no campaigning.

First Meeting of the Community with the Administrators

All meetings of the administrators are held in complete privacy and confidence. They may call others to testify before them - but all their debate and voting must be completely in private.

Selection of a Chair by the Administrators

At the first meeting of the Administrators - the administrators select from among themselves - a chair - and a secretary and/or such other offices as they wish to fulfill. This is again done without nominations -
and by secret ballot -
for one office at a time -
with as many votings as necessary
for each office to be elected by a majority.

Further Meetings of the Community

The Administrators should schedule regular meetings with the community. In the type of circumstance that we are discussing - it may initially be every day - or even more than once a day.

In the next issue of the Newsletter I intend to discuss the nature of the first community meeting with the Administrators, and the types of things they may concern themselves with.


This week at Ark Two

A couple of ladies are trying to make arrangement in their lives so that they can join us here and help Jean. Grandson here this weekend and as usual being a big help. Has already mowed the lawn, watered the batteries, and some other good tasks. I hope that tomorrow we can worry the worms and make some preparation for the delivery of 6 cords of firewood.

Taking note in Christopher's Column of his disparaging remark (or perhaps it is Herb's) regarding the Georgia Guide Stones, I have told him that I hope that he will go through the Guidestone List, point by point, and tell us what he disagrees with, and what he would prefer we do instead.

Personally, I have been impressed with the Guidestone List - and except possibly for the limitation of world population to 500 million, I don't remember anything there that I really disagree with. But, I think even the survivors of the Great Catastrophe may number more than 500 million.

That Christopher can hold one such opinion, and myself another, just goes to show the diversity of opinion at SAFE and Ark Two. Our membership includes everything from Orthodox Jews to Muslims and of course a wide spectrum of Christians, with a substantial number of atheists thrown in as that is now the majority of Americans. Not to worry - with us there is room for all and we advocate no one position - although it is evident that both Christopher and myself are very theistically inclined.

Unity and Love,

Greetings SAFE Team!

Well, if you're still around and reading this, I salute you! I say, I salute you because just about everybody and everything has been distracted by the recent events hitting us at every angle, at every turn.
I received an important email the other day from a SAFE member who is VERY experienced in these matters. Therefore, today's article reflects much of Herb's observations.

Regardless of our experience, skills, or resources, how are we responding to current events? OUR thinking has to be independent from TPTB type thinking that most of us have been brainwashed with for most of our lives!

What does that mean? Well, getting all fired up won't help. Stuffing your head with info won't help. Stuffing your bug out bag or hole in the ground with the latest gadgets won't help.

OK, here it comes. How do you spell survival? Is it the last man standing? Think about how "they" want us to think. Notice how WE always have to sacrifice OUR sons, OUR taxes, and OUR livelihood for the agenda? Now think again. Is the solution just the opposite - NO! That's just another trap of righteous, rugged, independence, aka, divide and conquer!

When THEIR cash system, retirement system, health system, food, water, and other infrastructure goes down so that TPTB can adapt to gain even more control over us via some neatly manufactured crisis; we are left with little or no alternatives!

Honestly, do you want to end up like the Georgia frickin Guide Stones say we should?! I hope not. However, it all comes back to the "thinking" process because that drives our actions.

Look, all this SAFE stuff we've been saying all along boils down to that one crucial activity that will determine our level of success - Networking! Ever notice how right before tax time the "news" reports a few people being prosecuted by the IRS? That's just the tip of the iceberg. Now, multiply that "technique" by about 100, then throw in multiple "technologies" to enhance the conditioning, and you begin to see how TPTB really have been working the herd to exhaustion.

Among many things of vital importance that Jesus Christ taught the world, or whoever was listening, was that we really can't serve two masters simultaneously. It only becomes profound once we start to personally experience it! So, staying out of trouble is great and to be commended. However, do NOT confuse that with an insurance policy for "safety"!

We are either consumers, producers, or a combination of the two. Only those who are "producers" are the ones who experience a greater level of freedom than the rest of the herd. So, what's the solution? Just the same old thing I've been harping on - Networking! If you haven't yet done so, CREATE YOUR NETWORK NOW!

Quit trying to solve things on your own. Get your people, whoever they are, together and helping each other NOW! I don't know what else to say or do to get this message across. Do you believe in your God given right to put your prayers into action? Great! Now multiply that with your network! Do you believe in helping others in need? Great! Now MULTIPLY that by doing it via your network! Do you believe in preparing for a "rainy day"? Fine. Now MULTIPLY your effectiveness via your network! I hope this message gets through the fog that many of us find ourselves in.

Thank you all for being patient with my rambling. The facts are plain. The needs are clear. Get crackin!

Peace & Action,
