I have decided at long last to keep my blog at my official website – duh. So all respect to the mighty wordpress, please go HERE to see all current and future musings from the mind of Mantei. Full comment functionality is there of course, so let me know what you think of the new place!

 

A vision from God

I relate the following as I have seen it, in a waking dream/vision.

There is a great darkness covering the entire earth. Like a thick fog, a dark storm cloud moving over every nation and people. None are immune. The Spirit of God goes out searching the world for those of the Church who are awake and ready to fight. He rouses us, but only those who are already awake and watching – even if only stumbling out of bed. He comes to America and Europe (“the West”) and finds millions upon millions asleep. There are far fewer in number the other parts of the world but a much greater percentage are awake. As the darkness envelops the world, I saw those who were awake have a cross of light shine out of their chest/heart. This light cut through the darkness around them like a super powered flashlight. Those shining saw the others with light around them – they knew about each other and were connected in some way. I saw all those with the light donning a full suit of armor. Then I saw the whole earth from above, covered in those dark storm clouds, but now the lights pierced through the darkness UP into space. First a few then more and more. The most intense lights began in China, Korea, Pakistan, Iran, Syria, Egypt and northern Africa. This made me weep as I knew it was because this is where He is the most Persecuted. After this, I saw much brighter lights from America, Britain, and throughout Europe, especially Rome. Again I saw individuals in their armor, light shining forth, the different nations and races now joining together for battle. I saw those in China grabbing the hand of the Pakistani, who grabbed the hand of the African, who grabbed the hand of the European and American – all hand in hand, arm in arm, marching in perfect harmony willing to die if need be – the Church as Yeshua intended, of one accord led by His Spirit. The beauty and passionate love I felt was palpable. The darkness was damaged by the lights, but it did not dissipate, for it was its time to rule. The middle east swirled in the storm…

Its not about Duck Dynasty, it’s about fear.

Babylon the great, she who has made all the nations drink of the wine of the passion of her immorality…

I have never watched Duck Dynasty and never will. I know the “stars” of the show are Bible believing Christians. That’s all I need to know. Phil Robertson (nor any of us) are allowed to preach the Bible. That is the goal of the enemy. God’s Kingdom and Babylon are at war. Always have been (Genesis 11) and will be until Babylon falls at Christ’s Return (Revelation 18-19). Babylon means “confusion”. God is clear and consistent. Babylon attempts to usurp God – it says “we know better”. “We will build that Tower higher, we will unite the world against Him, we will Rule. ” Putting fear into Godly people is how it works. It’s a fear that creeps into your soul of proclaiming the Gospel, of rebuking evil, of proclaiming the plain Truth. You know of what I speak. “That feeling”. Fear of man is not something that God created in you, and it cannot remain in you to Walk with Him (1John 4:18). Look to the book of Acts for goodness sake – did those Christians fear anything including their own death? Where are those men and women of God today?? Truly, the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few! We are not to be conformed to this world, but holy, a living example to the Lost. Is the Robertson family doing things right? Seems like the are, but many more are needed. There are consequences to be paid, no doubt about it. Either to man or to God, your choice.

Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues…

 

It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes

English: Satan Going Forth from the Presence of the Lord, by William Blake. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Politics can easily be an idol that takes us away from Jesus. Have you ever quantified how many hours you think about/argue about/post about/write about/volunteer for politicians? Chances are it’s a disgraceful amount. I speak from experience. Especially now in this critical hour, our nation is being Judged. The systems of this world are collapsing and NO election can change that. America has turned from God – don’t trust in any man to change that. Are you taking refuge in your candidate of choice or in Yeshua? You can’t serve 2 masters! We are not the same nation as 200 years ago, or 50 years ago or even 15 years ago. We have chosen the ways of Satan and we are now reaping those results. By the way, mocking our President (sophomorically changing his name to something insulting etc) is NOT of God.  Repentance is the one and only way we will find refuge.

In the past 12 months, I have gone from being the campaign manager for my state’s GOP US Senate candidate (after being state director for 2 different Presidential candidates since early 2011), to leaving politics behind altogether. I have become extremely active in my local Church, taken a leadership role in uniting Christians through Faith and Freedom Coalition, launched a radio show that saw more and more Biblical exposition and teaching as time went on, and am learning so much from modern day Prophets like Jonathan Cahn and John Paul Jackson. My priorities have been honed and at times rearranged. I am no better than you – very likely worse – the Call to “come out of her my people” is beginning and YOU have a part to play. If you remain in Babylon (of which American politics is a part), how can He use you? Time for soul-searching my fellow right wing extremist…

The “good people” will not be in heaven, only the Forgiven will be. Do you think He put you here in this end time to worry about man’s elections??? The one-world government is coming, America will be brought low, Satan will rule his kingdom here on earth in person – these things are God’s Word, not conjecture. Don’t kick against the stingers as Paul did, don’t waste your time in futile pursuits. DON’T TRUST IN MAN TO SAVE. Please re-commit to prayer and repentance and click here to find out more about real “community organizing”:

Wings Of The Eagle 

“The Harbinger Decoded” My review of the brand new DVD

Readers and listeners of mine have known for the better part of a year about Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn’s “The Harbinger” and its urgent message for America. The bestselling book has spread like wildfire throughout the nation, even to our very Capitol. Rabbi Cahn has brought the message before leaders and thrones, the most explosive example of which was at the Inaugural prayer breakfast on January 21 of this year. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZA9zrzAB8w) This new movie I have been honored with reviewing reveals many things, including the fact that the speech that day was on 1 hour sleep and Jonathan was very sick. So many Americans including myself felt such a spiritual SHAKING on 9/11 but could not quite put a finger on WHY and where in the Bible would this possibly be mentioned? A Jewish disciple of Jesus Christ was chosen to tell us. Everything about the Harbinger and its going forth to the nation has been directly orchestrated by God. The Lord’s Spirit is Moving, do you have ears to hear?

“I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down: And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel.” Isa. 5:5-7

“So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD”. Ezek. 13:14

The brand new official DVD “The Harbinger Decoded” begins in highly dramatic fashion – appropriately so – recounting the attack of 9/11 and juxtaposing it with the Assyrian attack on ancient Israel in the 8th century BC. My only real criticism of the one-hour film is immediately apparent; the music soundtrack is outstanding, but it is too high in the audio mix; it is difficult at times to clearly hear the words spoken by the narrator or Jonathan Cahn. Cahn is present throughout, explaining in detail the 9 Harbingers in the book presented in the narrative as clay seals given by “The Prophet” to protagonist “Nouriel”. If you are unfamiliar with them, the 9 Harbingers of Judgment on House of Israel and America detailed in Isa. 9:10 are as follows:

1. The Breach (hedge of protection removed, the attack of the Assyrians and 9/11 itself)
2. The Terrorist (the perpetrators) – 9/11 led us to war in Iraq. Iraq is the land of ancient Assyria.
3. The Fallen Bricks (collapsed walls in Israel, collapsed World Trade Center)
4. The Tower (rebuilding in defiance – “freedom tower”. Septuagint renders Isa. 9:10 “let us build ourselves a Tower”)
5. The Gazit Stone (rebuilding in defiance “stronger than before” with giant stone quarried from a mountain – laid as the foundation of “freedom tower” on July 4, 2004)
6. The Sycamore (Tree uprooted at ground zero protected St. Paul’s Chapel)
7. The Erez Tree (Tree of defiance planted to replace Sycamore – “tree of hope”)
8. The Utterance (public defiance by leaders, made Sept. 11, 2004 by Senator John Edwards, quoted Isa. 9:10)
9. The Prophecy (public defiance by leaders, future tense, asking for Judgment, made Sept. 12, 2001 by Senator Tom Daschle, quoted Isa. 9:10)

As in the book, the revelations don’t end there. Among other things, the Sabbatical year (“Shemita”) is detailed. Just as in ancient Israel, the Shemita is Economic judgment to an unrepentant nation. On the Biblical day of Elul 29: Sept. 17, 2001, because of 9/11, the dow jones was down 7%; exactly 7 Biblical years later on Sept. 29, 2008, the bell of Wall Street refused to ring and again it crashed down 7%, specifically 777 points. (I would advise that you take heed that the next Elul 29 in the cycle is Sept. 13, 2015)

The account of the miracle catch by David Tyree in the Super Bowl of 2008, and a prophet named Hubie Synn is well worth your time to research as it was the catalyst for The Harbinger’s release to the public. The way God sees to the smallest detail in His Plan is enough to fill us with Faith for a lifetime.

As if all this weren’t enough, there is one final mystery that brought me and many others to tears. It is the “Consecration Ground”. Our first President George Washington was inaugurated at Federal Hall in New York City in 1789. In his first address, he stood in the hall (across the street from the NY Stock Exchange today) and prophesied that the blessings of heaven will be removed if America ever left God. Then he walked down the street with the entire government to a church called St. Paul’s chapel and they prayed – they dedicated this new nation to God and Jesus Christ that day; we were consecrated on April 30th. That little old church was the only building saved at Ground Zero on 9/11. Yes friends, just as with ancient Israel, the Judgment of God returned to the VERY SAME GROUND of its foundation. Not only is that church a living witness, but the literal foundation of Federal Hall was CRACKED as the Towers came down that day. God is real, and He is not happy.

The film concludes with an admonition that the Harbingers are continuing. For example, President Obama has visited Ground Zero and signed the crowing Beam with…Isa. 9:10. Our tower of babel is complete. Interesting to note the photo of that moment shows a “One World” banner: http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/imagecache/embedded_img_full/image/image_file/p061412ck-0581.jpg?itok=yGqkaP7j
Indeed, the Tower of old was meant to unite the world against God. The time is soon coming when one world government will rise. Will you resist? Also of note, the Erez “tree of hope” planted to replace the Sycamore is now dying. Where do you place your hope? Rabbi Cahn addresses what the future holds if we continue to defy God and His Word. More judgment: to our infrastructure, economy, military; natural and manmade disasters etc. But he reminds us that there is one solitary Hope. This is the Call of the Church. Our only salvation is “Yeshua” – Jesus. Cahn says, “The Time is late, growing darker. We have to shine brighter – MORE RADICAL. Live ALL OUT for God. The call is on YOU. You are the Watchman, Blow the Trumpet.”

Also included in this DVD are 8 sections of fantastic Bonus content. From the most often asked questions about The Harbinger, to the testimony of Cahn’s individual salvation “Atheists and Trains”, to the role of America in the End Times, they are not to be missed. You need to own this documentary and SHARE IT with all in your circle of influence. Those who won’t read books or don’t care about the Bible etc. will watch it and learn. I wanted to end this review with the words of Jonathan Cahn from one of the Bonus sections, “The call for God’s people living in the end times is you have to BE STRONG. Don’t get distracted. Stay strong in the Word and His presence every day. Whatever God asks you to do, DO IT. When the dark is there, it’s a time for God’s people to be the greatest they ever have been. It’s a call to Greatness.”

Do you have eyes to see and ears to hear?

“Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day. The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail. For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed. Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.” Isa. 9:14-17

 

The fall of Damascus is the beginning of the End of the world

So says God. Study Isaiah 17 and See.

In verses 1 and 2, Damascus is utterly destroyed for the first time in history. See how very close we are to that moment right now! THEN:

3: “The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim”

America’s national defenses will be lost. She is the last “superpower”  and when her wings are plucked (God is the one who granted the Power), no other nation receives them. IE America falls and the One World Political System arises to replace us. This is when the 4 winds are released; the 1st of the 7 Trumpets that herald the End is sounded.

4: “in that day the glory of Jacob will fade, And the fatness of his flesh will become lean.”

“Glory” here is “kabowd” – see Jacob’s “kabowd” in Genesis 31:1 – “exceedingly prosperous; riches”. The economies of all the nations of Jacob (America, Europe, Canada, etc) fall. The rest of the world follows by necessity. This is the Global Economic Collapse foretold in the 3rd Seal of Revelation.

2nd Witness: Jer. 49:24-27  “Damascus has become helpless; She has turned away to flee, And panic has gripped her; Distress and pangs have taken hold of her Like a woman in childbirth.” = One of the birth pangs Jesus told you about in Matthew 24/Mark 13; wars and rumors of wars. But the end is not yet.

This is all but a culmination of a process of Judgment against Ephraim then all the Tribes. REMEMBER THE HARBINGER!

Isa. 9:8-10 “The Lord sends a message against Jacob, And it falls on Israel. And all the people know it, That is, Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, Asserting in pride and in arrogance of heart” – That message was sent on 9/11/01 – all the people saw it, we answered Him only with pride and arrogance . America has been under increasingly harsh Judgment since then. Exactly 7 years later in Sept. 2008 the world economy came thiiiiiiis close to collapsing, but His Hand was stretched out still. Do we have until Sept. 2015? Verses 11 and 12 specify Syria as the catalyst for the final blow. All leading to THAT DAY:

14: “So the LORD cuts off head and tail from Israel, Both palm branch and bulrush in a single day.” That’s everyone – the power of the nations of Israel are no more. The reason is simply stated in verse 16: “For those who guide this people are leading them astray; And those who are guided by them are brought to confusion.”

21: “Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh, And together they are against Judah. ” The sons of Joseph (Great Britain and the United States) devour themselves and come against Judah (Jerusalem, the country called Israel in the middle east).

Food for thought: the judgments may come fast and furious in “that day” – have the details of those nations already been laid out?

Book of Amos chapters 1 and 2, punishment of, in order:
1. Damascus (Syria)
2. Gaza (Hamas) – Zeph. 2:1-7
3. Tyre (Lebanon/Hezbollah) – Ezek. 26-28
4. Edom (Saudi Arabia) – Obadiah
5. Ammon (North Jordan/West Bank) – Zeph. 2:8-11
6. Moab (South Jordan) – Isa. 15
7. Judah (the country called Israel) – Zeph. 1/Isa. 3
8. Israel (10 scattered tribes of Jacob – their nations of the West, led by Ephraim and Manasseh) – Hosea/Micah

PS – The destruction of Iran (Daniel 8) is also part of this and is only accomplished by Satanic power – he arrives shortly after Iran falls. “And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.”

We hope for light, but behold, darkness

Embracing Darkness (Photo credit: cheesy42)

TWA Flight 800 as it turns out, wasn’t a tragic accident. Me since 1996: NO DUH. The lies, denial and obfuscation about that incident is just one example of the darkness that is overtaking our once great nation. To me (and I’m sure thousands more), it was and continues to be a PHYSICAL feeling in my flesh when this darkness expands. I can literally feel it encroaching. As a Christian, I know that we are engaged in a spiritual war with the “Powers of  Heaven” (Ephesians 6) and the donning of the Armor of God is not an option any longer; He has at least partially removed our national hedge of protection. The Enemy will advance faster and faster in the coming days. Know too that the Armor does not originate in Eph. 6, but rather in Isaiah 59. Written to the “dispersed of Israel” (IE the northern kingdom led by Ephraim, NOT the southern tribes of Judah), I challenge you to read that chapter and see that it is describing our nation’s leaders to a tee.

“Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands far away; For truth has stumbled in the street, And uprightness cannot enter. Yes, truth is lacking; And he who turns aside from evil makes himself a prey. Now the LORD saw, And it was displeasing in His sight that there was no justice. And He saw that there was no man, And was astonished that there was no one to intercede; Then His own arm brought salvation to Him, And His righteousness upheld Him. He put on righteousness like a breastplate, And a helmet of salvation on His head; And He put on garments of vengeance for clothing And wrapped Himself with zeal as a mantle.” 

Our spiritual bodies are indeed out of shape. How desperate does God have to get to call me to help lead His Army? He has done it before, there is nothing new under the sun…

In the past 3 days alone we discover:

We don’t use drones against Americans in America…yes we do.

We aren’t collecting millions of innocent people’s phone calls, emails, etc…yes we are.

You have freedom of assembly and the right to petition the government…no you don’t.

It’s not legal to spy on reporters who are simply exercising the freedom of the press…yes it is.

We can’t stop you from exercising your political and religious speech…YES WE CAN.

Can you feel it yet??? The ONLY HOPE we have is in the Lord Jesus Himself. Don’t you dare put your trust in ANY man. Political answers are DEAD. Going to rallies is DEAD. The Judiciary is DEAD. Don’t pretend you have the courage to stand up to Tyranny or Satan himself when your life is full of RETREAT. Our enemy plays to win and will gladly devour you and your family, so you might as well seek Him and His Armor as never before.

Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed!!

The Revelation of Jesus Christ

Page 289r: The Opening of the Fifth and Sixth Seals, Revelation 6:9-16 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Yup, that’s the real title of the last book in the Bible. It’s not “Revelations”, and it IS extremely relevant to us today as most things in it have not happened yet. The first verse is where the title comes from, and is instructive in and of itself: “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take place”. Revealing or “uncovering” the previously hidden regarding the end of this world that His BOND SERVANTS MUST KNOW. The various denominations of Christianity have utterly failed in teaching this key to God’s Word. And do are you Yeshua’s “bond servant”? That’s quite a bit more specific than “follower” isn’t it…

Have you ever studied it in your Church? Not just a verse here and there (though in my experience as a former Catholic the book is NEVER even mentioned), but really STUDIED it? How about individually? God is going to hold you personally accountable for it, so you may want to get cracking. To this end, starting tonight on my radio show I will be going through the entire book, line by line. Darn near EVERY verse in this incredible volume is a reference to another book in the Bible; the proof of its Authenticity.  Yes it is full of symbology – this is intentional – but it is not an excuse for you not to know it. The 2 biggest lies about it are: 1. It’s all (or most all) in the past, there is no application today. and 2. you don’t have to understand it, you’re going to be gone (IE raptured away) before it happens. Is God telling you right now that you should understand it? Then let’s go because time is short.

 

“Keep abortion legal”? No, let’s not.

I was so relieved to hear that the Gosnell jury actually came back with 1st degree murder convictions (even though it was only on 3 of 7 babies), but don’t keep your heads in the sand. There are many many more “houses of horror” around this nation (and the world). No amount of “pro life” activities will stop this child sacrifice. I’m talking to you, pro-lifer. Driving into the office this morning, I was behind a car with “Keep abortion legal” proudly displayed in the rear window. Do you think this mindset can be “reasoned with”? Do you really think you can get rid of abortion piecemeal??? Imagine seeing a “keep slavery legal” sticker – are you angry yet? You should be. And that anger has to be channeled, into Abolitionism.

This is where the libertarians get it so very wrong. Overturning Roe v Wade (IE getting the federal government out of it) would only allow states to do what they wanted – many/most/all would still allow child murder. If it’s wrong, it’s wrong. If it’s evil, it’s evil. Regardless of how old the baby is, regardless of how he/she was conceived, regardless of what percentage of the population wants it to be legal, NONE OF IT MATTERS. Abolition of all abortion via a Constitutional amendment is the ONLY solution. Anything less is to condone it.

To my fellow Christians, do you think God is happy about what we as a nation have done/are doing? Do you think He is happy with you as an individual? Are you lukewarm on this? The innocent babies in their mother’s womb ARE “THE LEAST OF THESE”. What Would Jesus Do indeed!  “Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’ “Then they themselves also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?’ “Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ “These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” (Matthew 25)

You shall not give any of your offspring to offer them to Molech – Molech = king. Parents sacrificed their babies to him in ancient Israel. Who is your King? God or yourself? We have repeated their sins yet again. Get right with God and Pray so that He can use you in these times.

Today is April 30th….1789/2013. Humility has become Defiance.

On April 30th, 224 years ago, George Washington was inaugurated the 1st President of the United States. This occurred in New York City at Federal Hall on Wall Street (NYSE is across the street today). It is the first day of our fully functioning government. From his address:

“Since we ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven, can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained: And since the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the Republican model of Government, are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staked, on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.

Having thus imported to you my sentiments, as they have been awakened by the occasion which brings us together, I shall take my present leave; but not without resorting once more to the benign parent of the human race, in humble supplication that since he has been pleased to favour the American people, with opportunities for deliberating in perfect tranquility, and dispositions for deciding with unparellelled unanimity on a form of Government, for the security of their Union, and the advancement of their happiness; so his divine blessing may be equally conspicuous in the enlarged views, the temperate consultations, and the wise measures on which the success of this Government must depend.”

After being sworn in, Washington (along with the Vice President and both Houses of Congress),  walked down the street to St. Paul’s Chapel to Pray for this new Nation. Their view from the Chapel door was a plot of land we now know as Ground Zero. As Washington said, when our nation disregards “order and right”, Heaven will cease to smile on us. If we are not Humble, He will no longer favor us. His Blessings will be withdrawn and our hedge of protection will be removed. And so it was on September 11, 2001. ON THAT VERY PLACE. As a sign, St. Paul Chapel was miraculously unharmed.

 

And how did we react? In humility and repentance seeking His face? No, it was Defiance. Today April 30, 2013, the final piece of “we will rebuild stronger” will be placed. Isa. 9:10 will again be brought alive before our eyes. “Freedom Tower” will become the tallest building in the Nation once the Spire is placed. None of these things are coincidences. And there are MANY more. As with Ancient Israel, “the nation’s ground of consecration will become the ground of its judgment”.

9/11, then the financial collapse 7 years later, the rise of evil within our borders and within our Government, these things will continue and grow more severe. We have ceased to rely on God and are now thumbing our noses at Him. Of course there is Hope for us as individuals, but nationally???
