Kings of the Earth

Pope Benedict XVI addresses the UN General Assembly 18 April 2008
The Bible tells us that the kings of the earth will gather together against God Almighty and his anointed Jesus Christ to do battle. This is found in 3 separate places in scripture so there can be no mistake as to what will happen. Psalms 2 [2] The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Acts 4 [26] The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers	were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. Revelation 16 [13] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. [14] For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
	Pope Benedict XVI exchanges gifts with Queen Elizabeth II during an audience in the Morning Drawing Room on day one of his four day state visit to the United Kingdom at Holyrood House on Sept 16, 2010 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Pope Benedict XVI is conducting the first state visit ot the UK by a Pontiff. During the four day visit Pope Benedict will celebrate mass , conduct a prayer vigil as well as beatify Cardinal Newman at an open air mass in Cofton Park. I wondered how the Queen is going to reconcile this with the celebration of Guy Fawkes Day in England where the Pope is burned in effigy?

The United States Army Active Duty Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps passing for review in front of Pope Benedict XVI and President Bush.	Reagan was sworn into office on Jan 20, 1981 on the WEST WING of the Capitol Building, all previous Presidents took their oath of office on the East side of the building. This was done so that Reagan would face the Washington Monument (obelisk) during his swearing in ceremony as President of the United States. Twenty years earlier Ex-Jesuit Priest Alberto Rivera informed the world that when the Jesuits had completely taken over ALL the American Christian Churches an American President would be sworn into office facing an obelisk as a sign. What do you think of your separation of Church and State now America?

Note on President Woodrow Wilson President Woodrow Wilson persuaded Congress to pass the Federal Reserve Act on December 23,1913 creating the privately owned and controlled Federal Reserve Bank. The Federal Reserve Bank is not part of the Federal Government and therefore is not under any legal obligation to our government under any circumstances. This private bank completely controls the monetary policy of the United States and by extension our whole economy. Prior to the Federal Reserve Act President Wilson summoned a special session of Congress in April 1913 where he appeared in person before Congress, he was the first president since John Adams to do so, to make his appeal for what is now known as the Revenue Act of 1913. This Act established the modern federal, state, and local income tax that we all pay today. Very interesting actions of the very first United States President to be granted an audience with the Roman Pontiff.

Display, United State Flag

4 U.S.C. § 7

The wording of § 7(g) is identical to that of the original Flag Code enacted in 1942. The second sentence of § 7(c) prohibiting flying international flags equal in height to the flag of the United States was not in the original Flag Code. This provision was added in 1953.43 The legislative history of this amendment clearly states that is purpose was to “make it an offense against the United States to display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal to, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United States at any place within the United States or any possession or territory thereof,....” The only exception recognized is at the headquarters of the United Nations.

(c) No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America, except during church services conducted by naval chaplains at sea, when the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for the personnel of the Navy. No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to or in place of the flag of the United States or any Territory or possession thereof: Provided, That nothing in this section shall make unlawful the continuance of the practice heretofore followed of displaying the flag of the United Nations in a position of superior prominence or honor, and other national flags in positions of equal prominence or honor, with that of the flag of the United States at the headquarters of the United Nations.
