The word “iniquity” is used in 262 different Bible verses.
With its presence through God’s Word, one would guess that most of those who inhabit the social clubs we call the churches would know the meaning of the word.
After all, iniquity is a key part of the Bible and what it teaches.
For centuries, the word iniquity was synonymous with “sin.”
And sin meant a “transgression” (against God).
Great or small, big sin or small sin: all sin was a transgression (or a sort of rebellion) against God.
The modern churches have remade iniquity to be synonymous with the word “lawless” or “lawlessness.”
“Lawlessness” and “sin” are NOT the same thing.
Those who are lawless are sometimes ignorant of the law. In fact, THAYER’S GREEK LEXICON defines the Greek word used for lawlessness as:
properly, the condition of one without law — either because ignorant of it, or because violating it.
This introduces quite a different situation than sin–an act or behavior which is a violation of God’s Law.
Which is the reason that many church folk have a completely different take on 2Thessalonians 2:7.
“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.“
A great many moderns think of the “mystery of iniquity” as the “spirit” or “secret power” “of lawlessness.”
Which is something quite different than the “mystery of sin.”
Practically ALL of the corrupted new translations of the Bible use this lawlessness-for-sin swap.
And if modern man is confused about such a basic concept as “sin,” it is little wonder modern man is confused and deceived.
IS the reader now clear about what “iniquity” means?
OR does the reader still cling to the idea that “iniquity” means “lawlessness“?
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.”
–2Thessalonians 2:7
An interesting discussion recently centered on what the mystery of iniquity will be promoting in the time before Jesus Christ returns, as well as what the mystery of iniquity has already promoted.
What is the mystery of iniquity?
The mystery ushering in the man of sin is a mystery of iniquity. It is not open sin and wickedness, but dissembled piety, specious errors, wickedness under a form of godliness cunningly managed
—Matthew Poole Commentary on 2Thessalonians 2:7
Paul also warned of these hidden, ungodly tools of Satan in 2Timothy.
“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
–2Timothy 3:5
Hopefully, this background will get the reader up to speed. So what are the themes the reader has already seen or will see in the months ahead? While there are many other media campaigns which have to do with the end times, here are five of the most heavily-promoted and/OR most important.
There are others which may be addressed in the near future.
1- We must all stick together as one or the world will not survive.
“Unity!” has been the cry of the apostates–particularly those who run the buildings we call churches–for some time now. The calls to unite, both in the government/media and as themes in popular entertainment will only grow more frequent.
One cannot govern the entire world if everyone is going off in his own direction, can we?
2- Alien life, then an alien invasion, will threaten the earth.
The alien life fiction is fairly new: it has been promoted heavily by government/media/science and especially entertainment for the past 70 years. Why is this fable so important? Why must it be repeated daily?
Because one way to help unite the earth against Jesus Christ when He returns is to present an otherworldly threat. All end time men–with the exception of those whose names are written in the Book of Life–will worship Satan (the dragon), his one-world empire and his man of sin.
“And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
–Revelation 13:4-5,7-8
The man of sin will gather the armies of the whole world in an attempt to stop Jesus Christ when He returns.
“And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse [Jesus], and against his army. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.”
–Revelation 19:19, 16:16
To unite the earth against Jesus Christ, the world will likely be told that the returning Jesus is an alien invasion.
And the world will not only overwhelmingly agree, it will encourage the man of sin and his armies.
In fact, the world will cheer on the man of sin against Jesus.
Those who do not believe Jesus is the messiah will use their earthly power to bring about a return to the Old Covenant, which is no longer effective. The man of sin will direct this Old Covenant-based worldwide religion.
“In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.”
–Hebrews 8:13
Along with various Old Covenant rituals and traditions, will come a return to animal sacrifice, which the LORD no longer honors.
At the present, many churches confuse their congregations with a mixture of the Old Covenant and the New.
Will the temple veil that was torn in two be resewn?
“And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.”
–Mark 15:38
Will God Almighty no longer honor the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ?
“To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.”
–Isaiah 1:11
Will God Almighty take up residence in a temple built with hands?
“God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands”
–Acts 17:24
IF the reader wants more information on this theme, Google “Hebrew Roots” or “Messianic Judaism.”
5- The mainstreaming of magic, witchcraft and sorcery (demonic power).
IF the reader has the time and inclination, he likely could find at least two dozen media “news” stories which assure the reader that those convicted by the Salem witch trials were the victims of “hysteria.”
In a similar manner, sorcery, magic and the occult are cleaned up and presented to the public as things which are desirable.
NONE of those who dabble in the forbidden worlds of demonic power come out in good shape.
YET, demonic power is seen by these poor souls as something to be sought.
“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD”
–Deuteronomy 18:10-12
In addition, the reader need only think of how many wizards and witches the entertainment industry has turned into heroes over the past 15-20 years.
HAS the reader noticed any of the above themes repeating on a regular basis in the media?
DOES the reader believe what he is told concerning these topics?
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16

This is one of the side effects of such “terror attacks.” The creation of martyrs serves many purposes: it puts a face on a faceless fear; it allows a memory of a tragedy to take on a graphic dimension (like a brand name); it evokes and appeals to emotions instead of facts. Martyrs are quite useful. Which is why Satan creates so many of this from among the ranks of his followers.
IF the reader is a puppet for the enemy: beware.
Working in iniquity does not make one safer.
On the contrary, working for the enemy is more hazardous than being among the profane.
Most workers of iniquity are blissfully unaware of their complete dispose-ability. They are like coffee filters, sanitary napkins or toilet paper: when the enemy is done with them, they may have another task–or they may be disposed of in any number of ways.
IS the reader a worker of iniquity?
THERE is still time to change direction (repent) and place one’s trust in Almighty God and His Son, Jesus Christ.
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3
“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work”
–2Thessalonians 2:7
THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY
The question has been raised “Who or what is the mystery of iniquity?”
Since the “mystery of iniquity” is referred to quite often at ETPR, it was decided to try to explain the term as it relates to other scripture and the end times.
The “mystery of iniquity” was already at work almost 2000 years ago when the apostle Paul wrote his second epistle to the Thessalonians. Some newer Bible versions have changed the term to the “spirit of lawlessness.”
That is a slight, but important, change.
INIQUITY has a meaning which strongly suggests SIN (which is transgression against God): wickedness, gross immorality, sin.
LAWLESSNESS on the other hand paints a broader picture of possible behaviors; against God OR perhaps against man.
So Paul was writing about the “mystery of sin.”
What is this mystery of sin? What’s it all about?
The apostle gives a big clue in another of his epistles.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
–Ephesians 6:12
The mystery of iniquity are those who work to bring mankind to the point of open rebellion against God and His Son, Jesus Christ which is detailed in the Book of Revelation.
Often passing their unbelief down through the generations–father to son, mother to daughter–they toil in darkness, often living a lie, to advance their ancient hope: the eradication of all traces of God Almighty and Jesus Christ and the ascent of Man and Man’s will.
“The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed [Jesus Christ], saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.”
–Psalm 2:2-3
The ascent of man is, ultimately, the ascent of Satan.
The workers of iniquity labor to bring about the return of the religion and society of the pre-flood world: when demonic power was on display everywhere; when the whole earth practiced sin and violence at all times; and when the rule of man was limited only by his wicked imagination.
“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.”
–Genesis 6:5, 11-12
This is the situation which caused God to send the flood. But the mystery of iniquity sees this time period as some sort of Golden Age of Man.
“And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.”
–Genesis 6:6-7
EVERY civilization on earth has some institutional memory of the flood. Most are very similar in their telling.
YET, the mystery of iniquity presents this universal memory as “proof” the flood is a myth.
IF one doesn’t know where one’s been, it’s tough to know where one is going.
There have been those who have claimed that mere men could not engage in such a long-term, multi-century conspiracy.
And that would be right: the mystery of iniquity IS composed of men. But these men do the work laid out by “principalities, ..powers, the rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places.”
In other words: by demons and demonic power; by Satan.
The mystery of iniquity is the hierarchy of those who access demonic power; first, for their own ends, and then (more importantly), for the ends of those spirits which have enslaved these ignorant and deceived men.
Jesus was more specific about some of the humans in this hierarchy in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9.
“I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.”
–Revelation 2:9
“Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.”
–Revelation 3:9
These demonic entities are given a variety of high-blown, benevolent names to mask what they really are, e.g., Ascended Masters.
Humans are offered various inducements to join in: trinkets, parlor tricks, deceptions; mostly earthly wealth, power, control, knowledge or pleasure–all which are fleeting, all which are temporary.
The men come and the men go, but the powers BEHIND the men are spiritual beings who continue on, generation after generation, using the men and women they first attract–and then enslave–to continuously further their plan, year after year, decade after decade, century after century.
Until we arrive at our present time.
A conspiracy of men alone could NEVER span all of those years: coordinating the many strands of wickedness necessary to move the masses of mankind to where they are today.
And where are they today?
Even the unsaved masses can sense there’s something not right.
Though dulled by propaganda, drugs and other distractions/deceptions, they know their situation and situation around them is continually deteriorating. The masses are moving toward the climax of human history, but they have been convinced there is no such thing.
Hence, they are uneasy but they can’t know WHY.
Though the leaders of the mystery of iniquity may have earthly wealth and power, they are deceived, blind, wretched, enslaved and miserable–while largely ignorant of their true condition.
“Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:”
–Revelation 3:17
There have been many millions of useless words written about worldwide conspiracies and who is responsible for them. There is quite a number of culprits fingered.
All are tools, pawns and lackeys of the mystery of iniquity.
Throughout history, God has repeatedly used evil men to further His purpose: evil men are mostly all He has to work with.
BUT, despite their evil plans, ALL of the mystery of iniquity work to fulfill what is written in God’s Word.
ALL work according to God’s purpose–despite the fact that they hate Him and believe themselves to be working against Him.
So as they hatch their schemes in darkness and plan their plans and congratulate themselves on their extreme cleverness, they ALL work to move forward the plans and purpose of the One they so hate.
Ironic.
Also ironic: it is within the power of each of the mystery of iniquity’s members to turn from their wickedness, call upon God and be saved.
IF they will but recognize their true condition before it is too late.
“Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:”
Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.”
–Ephesians 2:2-7
And now, hopefully, the reader will understand a bit better when the term “mystery of iniquity” is used.
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
“It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.”
—Joseph Stalin, Soviet dictator
–From QUOTES: A Few Thoughts on Voting
It is the media’s job to explain why the election went the way it did when everyone votes against the selected outcome.
Anti-Trump Republican delegates want a “conscience” clause as an out from any obligation to vote for him.
WHY a GOP Rebellion Against Trump Is Probably Doomed – Even those working for Satan’s Mouthpiece don’t like to be proved wrong in public–which is the reason for the “probably” qualifier in the headline: it gives them an out down the road IF they’re proved wrong.
Donald Trump Fires Corey Lewandowski, His Campaign Manager – After going through the charade that American Republicans elected Donald Trump to represent them in November, the Corporate Media now details all of the reasons Trump was a bad choice.
OF COURSE Trump, playing the role assigned, has made TONS of gaffes, mistakes and bloopers on purpose. NOW it’s almost time for the old switcheroo.
Republicans, not actually having voted for Trump, will feel a relief that the clown prince of hucksterism is no longer their horse in the November race and will look upon whoever replaces Trump as a savior–even if that person was not a personal favorite.
Almost all will think “He’s got to be better than Trump–or whoever the Democrats end up choosing.”
“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
—John 20:31
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
-—1 Corinthians 1:18-19
Make no mistake: the mystery of iniquity wants to take the guns from Americans–and they WILL be successful. But before that happens, they’re going to use the fear of gun confiscation to weed out the troublemakers.
The threat of gun control has been driving record gun sales EVERY MONTH for over the past year. The citizens of America have become armed and dangerous–to themselves.
The only thing which gives a person more artificial courage than alcohol is a loaded gun.
Americans have not only become armed, they’ve been indoctrinated to rebel. And when it comes time to rebel, millions of Americans will hit the streets with their guns a-blazing to “take back our government!”
And millions of Americans will get mowed down.
And that’s the way the mystery of iniquity will clear out the riffraff in preparation for the coming one-world beast system of government.
This is a tough call. I listen to the writer of this article (Doug Haggman’s online radio show) and he’s a likeable guy who seems competent at what he does. Can one trust what his “insider” has been “revealing?”
No.
One good reason: a while back, his “insider” ‘confirmed’ another so-called insider that is an obvious fake.
So, it’s hard to trust his “inside information.” I do believe Haggman’s source dishes some true info, but like all good disinformation, there’s a lot of “unreliable” (planted disinformation: lies) stuff mixed in with it.
As far as these latest “revelations” go, they seem to be setting up a reason for a coming “media blackout.” The media blacks out particular subjects–and that media includes talk radio, Fox News and 99% of most-popular so-called “alternative media.” The idea that alternative media is somehow not a part of the media problem is a myth. There are a VERY few outlets that are not compromised.
But they are few and far between.
Think about it: if the Corporate Media is promoting a website–and by “promoting” it is also understood to mean “attacking” it (when Corporate Media ‘attack’ a site, they drive traffic to that site)–that website is not “alternative media.”
Anyway, the Corporate Media “blacks out” information–think of the John Edwards’ scandal where no media breathed a word about John Edwards for 10 months (this writer excepted). Not one word–that included Fox News, talk radio and MOST of the so-called alternate media (Mickey Kaus, then at Slate, was a notable exception). It was a complete cone of silence.
So, information does get blacked out. That’s proven.
This “DHS insider” claiming that everyone’s gonna clam up in a few weeks due to Obama intimidation dovetails nicely with the entire
charade of the Corporate Media and the Obama Administration pretending to be on opposite sides (the “Scandal” that isn’t). The press will just quit writing about inconvenient topics–and everyone will be claiming “our sources won’t talk.”
And that will be the end of it.
And no questions will be asked. Anything that is spooned out to the masses will be lapped up by an information-starved population. The people who think they are “in the know” will tell everyone else “The sources have dried up and are afraid to talk! Everyone’s scared!”
That perpetuates the sham Corporate Obama vs The Corporate Media con.
The “free press” IS NOT, but this will relieve them from having to concoct the far-fetched stories, legends and fairy tale narratives they’ve been spinning for the last year or so. The bedtime stories they’ve been feeding the American people keep getting harder and harder to swallow.
So, it appears they’ll just stop telling Americans anything altogether–at least for awhile.
The moral of this story?
IF anyone in the Corporate Media (or Alternate or New Media) offers some “insider information”?
Take a pass. It’s more likely than not disinformation being passed off as something it isn’t.
OF COURSE, the USA has always been a land of rebellion and Americans have been indoctrinated from an early age that rebellion is a glorious thing. So who knows?
“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.”
–1Samuel 15:23
Gun ownership has decreased among all age, race and gender groups since 1973. At its peak in that time frame, in 1977, 50.4 percent of households had guns. By 2014, just 31 percent of households did.
This is an example of two different Corporate Media stories contradicting each other.
They both can’t be right.
Month after month after month, the Corporate Media has been telling the story that gun sales have set record after record after record.
The month of May saw yet another gun-related background check record making it the 13th month to see an all time high.
The FBI completed a record 1,870,000 checks through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS, this May, according to an agency report. That’s almost 300,000 more checks than May of 2015, which set a record at the time.
One might suppose the same people are buying all those millions of new guns sold. But that is not what the article says: it claims there are FEWER gun owners now.
Despite record gun sales every month for over a year.
The number of NICS checks is considered a reliable indicator for how many gun sales have taken place in a given month because nearly all sales made through licensed dealers require one. Some states also require NICS checks on all private sales as well.
When given two different stories and only one can be true, the reader will just have to pick which one he chooses to believe.
OR, he can take EVERYTHING Satan’s Mouthpiece (the Corporate Media) says with a grain of salt.
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
–John 8:44
The latest scam by the federal and state governments is using drug tests to deny those who qualify for benefits.
Though the most publicized is drug testing food stamp applicants and welfare recipients, the scam also involves other parts of the federal government, including drug testing veterans with service-related disabilities by the VA in order to receive their medication.
I can hear all those saying, “Good! What’s wrong with that?”
Those would be all of those ignorant of how government works.
When the government starts drug testing Americans for Social Security and Medicare, these folks will have no cause to grumble. But THEN, their tune will change to something like, “Well, I haven’t done anything! Why should anyone worry about a drug test? I’m not a drug user!” They are completely ignorant of drug testing procedures–but that won’t stop them from encouraging this Constitutional violation.
The reason the USA doesn’t have a working Bill of Rights anymore is because so many people cheered on the Feds when they violated OTHER PEOPLE’s rights–for a “good cause.”
Like drugs.
Or terrorism.
Or, war.
Or whatever…
Those cheerleading this latest rights bash will, sadly, change
their tune ONE MORE TIME.
ONLY AFTER they receive a “false positive”–something that can happen for a wide variety of reasons–-or after they lose their benefits to this scam, THEN they will complain.
IF ONLY they had skipped the first two steps and spoke up when Congress considered the bill in the first place, they may not have lost their Social Security and Medicare–which was the whole point of Congress’ bill in the first place. It may look like they’re after food stamps, but those are peanuts compared to the cash that can be saved by denying Social Security payouts.
(Not that speaking up would have stopped the bill–but at least they would have the inner glow that comes from doing the right thing and not being an unthinking drone. AND they would have been mentally prepared for what’s coming.)
Because NOW Congress can cut costs AND take credit for catching
those awful “drug users.” Do you really think Congress will cut costs any other way?
Do you?
Before this is all over and done with, readers may need a powerful friend in high places.
“What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”

“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work”
–2Thessalonians 2:7
The question has been raised “Who or what is the mystery of iniquity?”
Since the “mystery of iniquity” is referred to quite often at ETPR, it was decided to try to explain the term as it is understood in these parts.

“The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed [Jesus Christ], saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.”
–Psalm 2:2-3
They labor to bring about the return of the religion and society of the pre-flood world: where demonic power was on display everywhere and the whole earth practiced sin and violence at all times.
“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.”
–Genesis 6:5, 11-12
This is the situation which caused God to send the flood. But the mystery of iniquity sees this time as some sort of Golden Age of Man.
“And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.”
–Genesis 6:6-7
EVERY civilization on earth has some institutional memory of the flood. Most are very close in their telling. YET, the mystery of iniquity presents this universal memory as “proof” the flood is a myth.
IF one doesn’t know where one’s been, it’s tough to know where one is going.
There have been those who have claimed that mere men could not engage in such a long-term, multi-century conspiracy.
And that would be right: the mystery of iniquity is composed of men. But these men do the work laid out by “principalities, ..powers, the rulers of the darkness of this world, spiritual wickedness in high places.”
In other words: by demons and demonic power.
The mystery of iniquity is the hierarchy of those who access demonic power; first, for their own ends, and then (more importantly), for the ends of those spirits which have them unknowingly enslaved.
These demonic entities are given a variety of high-blown, benevolent names to mask what they really are, e.g., Ascended Masters.
Humans are offered various inducements to join in: trinkets, parlor tricks, deceptions; mostly earthly wealth, power, control, knowledge or pleasure.
The men come and the men go, but the powers BEHIND the men are spiritual beings who continue on, generation after generation, using the men and women they first attract–and then enslave–to continuously further their plan, year after year, decade after decade, century after century.
Until we arrive at our present time.
A conspiracy of men could NEVER span all of those years: coordinating the many strands of wickedness necessary to move the masses of mankind to where they are today.
And where are they today?
Even the unsaved masses can sense there’s something not right. Through dulled by propaganda, drugs and other deceptions, they know their situation and situation around them is continually deteriorating. The masses are moving toward the climax of human history, but they have been convinced there is no such thing.
Hence, they are uneasy but they can’t know WHY.
Though the leaders of the mystery of iniquity may have earthly wealth and power, they are deceived, blind, wretched, enslaved and miserable–while largely ignorant of their true condition.
“Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:”
–Revelation 3:17
There have been many millions of useless words written about worldwide conspiracies and who is responsible for them. There is quite a number of culprits fingered.
All are tools, pawns and lackeys of the mystery of iniquity.
Throughout history, God has repeatedly used evil men to further His purpose. It’s mostly all He has to work with.
BUT, despite their evil plans, ALL of the mystery of iniquity work to fulfill what is written in God’s Word. ALL work according to God’s purpose–despite the fact that they hate Him and believe themselves to be working against Him.
So as they hatch their schemes in darkness and plan their plans and congratulate themselves on their extreme cleverness, they ALL work to move forward the plans and purpose of the One they hate.
Ironic.
Also ironic: it is within the power of each of the mystery of inquity’s members to turn from their wickedness, call upon God and be saved.
IF they will but recognize their true condition before it is too late.
“Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:”
Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.”
–Ephesians 2:2-7
And now, hopefully, the reader will understand a bit better when the term “mystery of iniquity” is used.
Who are the Internet trolls? – IF one understands that trolls exist to take over and control the online conversation, then one will go a long, long, LONG way towards answering the headline’s question.
“How can the reader know when the Corporate Media is lying to him (never mind the fact that the media is Satan’s Mouthpiece and Satan is the father of lies)? One easy way to tell is the use of “Why” and “How” in the headlines of an article. When the reader sees “Why?” or “How?” in the headline–occasionally “What” is used–that which follows will be a fairy tale, a narrative, a bedtime story spun by the media for the benefit of the media’s master. “Why” usually denotes an on-going narrative; “How” signifies a story line which explains past events. Not all narratives begin with “How” or “Why.” However, the most in-your-face, over-the-top ones usually do. ALL political “news” is narrative.
A Blueprint for Governing Mars -Let’s leave aside for a moment that the governing of earth is woefully inadequate at present.
How much longer can the mystery of iniquity keep up the whole “outer space” thing? One would think the world’s masses would have seen through this one a long time ago.
Quick: Name at least two reasons the government/media/NASA/science has given for not faking another moon landing over the past 40 years.
Here’s one of the reasons commonly given: we’ve seen everything there is to see on the moon. We don’t need to go back.
But with CGI thousands of times more realistic NOW than ANYTHING they had in the 1960s, one would think the next few years would be prime time for some new and improved fakery.
In volume 3 (1919), Calhoun used the phrase “century of the child” to describe what would be the 20th century’s pretended obsession with children. “Do it for the children” became the motto of everyone from progressive Democrats to Adolph Hitler, even as both had no qualms about sacrificing inconvenient children.
“The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.”
-Adolph Hitler, Propaganda, the Big Lie and Adolf Hitler: 20 Hitler Quotes on Propaganda
Calhoun stated
“the new view is that the higher and more obligatory relation is to society rather than to the family; the family goes back to the age of savagery while the state belongs to the age of civilization. The modern individual is a world citizen, served by the world, and home interests can no longer be supreme….As soon as the new family, consisting of only the parents and the children, stood forth, society saw how many were unfit for parenthood and began to realize the need for community care….As familism weakens, society has to assume a larger parenthood.
The school begins to assume responsibility for the functions thrust upon it….The kindergarten grows downward toward the cradle and there arises talk of neighborhood nurseries.
–cited by Dr. Dennis Cuddy, Common Core, part 3
In case the reader was wondering
1- WHY Child Protective Services has become one of the the most feared visitors a parent can ever receive; and,
2- WHY the government continues to reduce the mandatory age for parents to send their children away to public schools and day care.
The desired age the state wants the child is 18- to 24-months.
Among those who hunger and labor for a return to the time before the flood, teachers are looked down upon as necessary bricks in the wall.
In 1947 National Education Association Associate Secretary William Carr writes in the NEA Journal that it is the job of teachers to: “… teach about the various proposals that have been made for the strengthening of the United Nations and the establishment of a world citizenship and world government.”
—Babylon, Basra, H.G. Wells, The New World Order and Revelation
It takes an all-powerful state to take a child.
“Children are a treasure.”
A worldwide state eventually ends up with all the treasure.
The mystery of iniquity NEEDS teachers to forward this infernal agenda. But they don’t have to LIKE teachers.
“Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.”
Translation: those who can help further the Plan, the return to the preflood’s Age of Man, do whatever they can to materially further this objective. Those who lack all other useful skills can teach.
Some teachers seek to prove themselves more valuable by joining groups which are higher up the mystery of iniquity‘s food chain. But practically ALL of the workers of iniquity are looked down upon as necessary evils.
Celebrating death, they believe it will be someone else’s death they’ll be celebrating, not their own.
Used to demanding other people’s children, they don’t believe their own will one day also be demanded.
Like the MILLIONS of inconvenient children they have readied for the sacrifice, it will soon enough be the turn of teachers, then others in the mystery of iniquity’s assembly line to be jettisoned at the first convenient moment.
It’s only that the workers of iniquity, being deceived, are not aware of it.
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
–2Corinthians 4:3
THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
—John 20:31
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
HISTORY. Conspiracies, murder, secret societies, torture, assassination, war: What REALLY happened on this day in history? The stories behind the grand narrative we call “history” for September 20.
OCTOBER 29, 2015
On This Day
End Times Prophecy Report
SECRET HISTORY: Originally, secret histories were designed as non-fictional, revealing or claiming to reveal the truth behind the “spin”: one such example is the Secret History of the Mongols. Secret histories can range from standard historical revisionism with proper critical reexamination of historical facts to negative historical revisionism wherein facts are deliberately omitted, suppressed or distorted.
The description of what took place that evening in the royal court at Babylon is the subject of Daniel 5.
The Babylonian king was making merry while desecrating the vessels of the temple in Jerusalem carried away when the Babylonians conquered Judah.
“Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Then came in all the king’s wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof. Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.
Now the queen, by reason of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed: There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers; Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.
Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry?
And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour: And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down.
But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him: And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this; But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified: Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.”
—Daniel 5:1,5-13,16-31
And that was the end of Babylon as a great empire.
1390 – First trial for witchcraft in Paris leading to the death of three people.
1618 – English adventurer, writer, and courtier Sir Walter Raleigh is beheaded for allegedly conspiring against James I of England.
Raleigh was a favorite of Queen Elizabeth I. Obviously, the favor did not extend to James.
The death of McKinley cleared the way for media creation Theodore Roosevelt to take over the U.S. presidency.
Czolgosz was executed 39 days after McKinley died.
All of the presidential assassins have died very quickly after they performed their deed.
History has many times recorded the wisdom of “Dead men tell no tales.”
1929 – The New York Stock Exchange crashes in what will be called the Crash of ’29 or “Black Tuesday”, ending the Great Bull Market of the 1920s and beginning the Great Depression.
It was only in the USA, the capital of capitalism, that the financial woes of 1929 were known as the Great Depression.
The rest of the world recovered in a few years.
1948 – Safsaf massacre: Israeli soldiers capture Palestinian village of Safsaf in the Galilee and massacre villagers after they surrender.
1957 – Israel’s prime minister David Ben-Gurion and five of his ministers are injured when a hand grenade is tossed into Israel’s parliament, the Knesset.
1969 – The first-ever computer-to-computer link is established on ARPANET, the precursor to the Internet.
The Internet is one of the premier data-gathering tools ever invented.
Do not let anyone persuade the reader that “They are going to shut down the Internet.”
That would be like saying “They are going to shut down wire taps.”
