The Falling Within of the House of Joseph



Dear Brethren,

Time is rapidly running out for America and Britain; the greatest nations that have ever been in recorded history. Prophecy reveals that in the very near future both will cease to exist as nations.

Though most want to hide their faces in the sand from this Biblical fact; nevertheless, those who are seriously scrutinizing the news from conservative talk shows and reading the news, can see its greatness unraveling at an accelerated rate of speed.

Realizing that America is still the only super-power nation on earth it is hard for many to believe this is possible. How could this possibly happen?

History Repeating Itself

It is a proven historical fact that no great civilization has fallen without unless it has first fallen within as the result of its internal errors in its national judgments!

Consider the fall of the Babylonian Empire. History records it was the greatest of all civilizations of that time. King Nebuchadnezzar had built such great defensive barriers around it that no enemy nation could penetrate it from the outside! It was impregnable!

Yet it easily fell one night to Darius the Mede and his Persian armies without any real struggle!

This took place during a great feast that King Belshazzar was giving to a thousand of his lords who were celebrating their great conquests of past wars and were drinking wine from the gold and silver vessels taken from the Temple in Jerusalem after it fell to Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 5:1-4).

Though we know from Scriptures that God brought about the final fall of Babylon it should be realized that it first had fallen within for five major reasons:

  1. Excessive taxation of its people 2) Armaments – the huge sums of money needed to equip its armies 3) Sports – the people had to be entertained 4) Divorce and Remarriages 5) Religion – it’s decadence

There are numerous leaders in media and elsewhere who speak of the similarity of what led to the fall of Babylon and then compares it to what is presently taking place in America.

Former Secretary of Defense Henry Kissinger was quoted some years ago as saying in essence what has happened in past civilizations is also taking place in this great country, when he said: Every civilization that has ever existed has ultimately collapsed.” When taken to task about what he said, he responded by saying that he was speaking as a historian.

In addition to these same problems there are other very grave problems that are sapping the strength of this nation and Britain as well as one can see from the following writing.

NEW BUCHANAN BOOK DECLARES 'END OF AMERICA'

**Exclusive**

"America is coming apart, decomposing, and...the likelihood of her survival as one nation...is improbable -- and impossible if America continues on her current course," declares Pat Buchanan. "For we are on a path to national suicide."


The best-selling author and former presidential candidate is on the eve of launching his new epic book: DAY OR RECKONING: HOW HUBRIS, IDEOLOGY AND GREED ARE TEARING AMERICA APART.


This time, Buchanan goes all the way:

"America is in an existential crisis from which the nation may not survive."

The U.S. Army is breaking and is too small to meet America's global commitments.

The dollar has sunk to historic lows and is being abandoned by foreign governments.

U.S. manufacturing is being hollowed out.

The greatest invasion in history, from the Third World, is swamping the ethno-cultural core of the country, leading to Balkanization and the loss of the Southwest to Mexico.

The culture is collapsing and the nation is being deconstructed along the lines of race and class.

A fiscal crisis looms as the unfunded mandates of Social Security and Medicare remain unaddressed.

All these crises are hitting America at once -- a perfect storm of crises.

Specifically, Buchanan contends:

Recommendations for Solutions


Mr. Buchanan offered his recommendations for the solutions to these grave problems in this writing; and others are also offering their solutions as well; but they are being unheeded.

The True Solution

Brethren, please realize the only hope for American and Britain is heartfelt repentance for rejecting God and His holy and righteous laws (Ezekiel 18:30-32). Though all things are possible it appears this to be extremely unlikely.

Unbelievable!

Though it is unbelievable that such a great super-power nation as America could be conquered by another rising super-power in Europe, God says it is going to happen.

The Holy Bible and history records that Darius the Mede was able to walk his army through an empty river bed (Isaiah 44:27), and through open gates into the great city of Babylon (Isaiah 45:1-3).

While Darius was capturing this great city, King Belshazzar of Babylon was killed (Jeremiah 51:30-32; Daniel 5:30-31).

The defensive Great Wall of China was breached in 1644 by an enemy (Manchus) and entered into the Chinese heartland when the gates at Shanhaiguan were opened by Wu Sangui, a Ming border general who disliked the activities of rulers of the Shun Dynasty. The Manchus quickly seized Beijing, and defeated the newly founded Shun Dynasty and remaining Ming resistance, to establish the Qing Dynasty.

The Conquering of Ephraim and Manasseh

Due to its many grave problems, the house of Joseph will soon be conquered just as other great civilizations in past history have been!

This time it will be by a blitzkrieg nuclear attack without any significant retaliation (Ezekiel 7:14-15).

Warnings Being Sounded

Warnings via the Recorded Works of God’s late apostle, and the Elijah to come, are continually being sounded on a daily and nightly basis from our 14 websites to the House of Joseph, the nations of Israel, and the world, of terrible things soon to come; far worse than ever before in history (Matthew 24:21; Daniel 12:1).

Also, I set watchmen over you, saying, ‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet (signal of approaching warfare)!’ But they said, ‘We will NOT listen . . .’ Behold, I will certainly bring calamity on this people— the fruit of their thoughts, because they have NOT heeded My words NOR My law, but rejected it” (Jeremiah 6:17-19).

They hate the one who rebukes in the gate and they ABHOR the one who speaks uprightly” (Amos 5:10).

. . . Plunder and violence are before me; there is strife and contention arises. Therefore the law is powerless (God’s and man’s), and justice never goes forth for the wicked surrounds the righteous therefore perverse judgment proceeds” (Habakkuk 1:3-4).

As the result of the unrepentant and wickedness of the house of Joseph, even now one can see the Beast Power rising from the depth of the sea to fulfill God’s punishment on His people (Revelation 13:1-18).

Thus says the LORD, ‘Behold, a people comes from the North Country, and a great nation will be RAISED from the farthest parts of the earth (Revived Roman Empire). They will lay hold on bow and spear (today, nuclear warfare); they are cruel and have no mercy (as with the Jewish people during WWII) . . . as men of war against you O daughter of Zion” (Jeremiah 6:22-23).

Are We Prepared Mentally and Spiritually?

Where will you and I be when this takes place?

It should be realized to be in the right place at the time needed for protection from that which is soon to take place, we MUST always be vigilant and discerning of the daily news while keeping abreast of what prophecy reveals to us (Luke 21:29-36).

At the same time we MUST be preparing ourselves spiritually so as to be counted worthy to stand before Jesus Christ in all of His awesome glory as He descends to this earth (Luke 21:36).

Your servant and friend,
Don Billingsley
