POLITICIANS, CORPORATE THIEVES AND Whether in this age or the age to come, men and women hiding their evil practices will have their guilt nakedly exposed. Many who have already been "caught" are considered shameful. (Rev 19:20). On account of this The Christ Michael is "coming as a thief". (Rev 16:15). The corruption of politicians is being exposed, which has already led to the imprisonment of some. The corruption of heads of corporations and their subordinates is also being exposed. Sectarian "harlot" religions that for many years have falsely claimed they are Christian, are now being exposed as liars. Many of the clergy have been publicly exposed as practicing homosexuals and paedophiles! Through
deceitful business practices institutional investors without conscience have
shown their contempt for the poor and the aged by creating schemes to defraud
them of their lifesavings. Government ministers and financial institutions
conspire to defraud the masses through complex fiscal policies and punitive
economic regulations. Poorer countries of the Third World suffer extreme
hardship due to excessive interest charged on loans from the West and punitive
rates of currency exchange. That is why the purchasing power of money and the
value of goods should remain fixed Another expression for spirit nakedness is total exposure. This is what the "thief" will bring about. The Spirit of The Christ Michael will bring exalted "high" ones throughout the world down to a low state, shaming and humiliating their rebel spirits and exalting the spirits of faithful lowly ones of God: "All is changed; raise the low and bring down the high. Ruin! Ruin! I will bring about such ruin as never was before, until the rightful sovereign comes. Then I will give him all." The Christ Michael is the "rightful sovereign". (Ezek 21:26,27 NEB). Servants of God are on the threshold of a new age of righteousness. Concerning the transition between the old "Esau" age and the new "Jacob" age, an angel of The Lord told Ezra that there would not be an interval between this evil age ruled by corrupt men, and the coming righteous age of The Christ Michael by the power of God. He said: "The interval will be no bigger than that between Abraham and Abraham; for Jacob and Esau were his descendants, and Jacob's hand was grasping Esau's heel at the moment of their birth. Esau represents the end of the first age, and Jacob the beginning of the next age. The beginning of a man is his hand, and the end of a man is his heel. Between the heel and the hand, Ezra, do not look for any interval." (See 2 Esdras 6:7-10 NEB). As the rebel spirits of mankind are disposed of by the Spirit of the Lord's Judgement and other calamitous events, the transition into the new "Jacob" age will be gradual. It will not be instantaneous. The Lord's
coming "as a thief" will completely remove the "chaff"
from the remaining "wheat" class of his people. However, if he were to do this
too quickly, there would be a catastrophic breakdown in society and we should
all starve or be killed. The Christ Michael has already struck the "image"
of the political "wild beast" at its feet*
and the momentum of its fall is accelerating * (See Page 12/9/01).
