'An Act of Political Alchemy'

January 20, 2009, was an historic day for the United States of America. In the midst of the greatest financial crisis in our nation’s history, America’s first black president was sworn into office in the most expensive inauguration ceremony of all time. Around the world, the media almost uniformly condemned the monstrously deceitful outgoing Bush administration as having been “an unmitigated disaster.” Bush was “the worst president ever” ... “a weak leader who was just over­whelmed by the job.” Almost unanimously, the global media expressed hope for massive changes under the new administration.

Reportedly, Obama’s inauguration extravaganza (which London’s Daily Mail dubbed a four-day “Obama­thon”) cost in excess of $170,000,000 to stage. (George W. Bush’s second inauguration in 2005 cost $42 million). Revealingly, “the biggest group of donors were none other than the recently bailed-out Wall Street executives and employees... The donors [got] some of the best seats in the house for the inauguration, as well as admittance to some of the best balls and other events” (Good Morning Amer­ica, 1/19/08). Unceasingly throughout the four-day period, most of the networks participated in an unprecedented Obama love-fest. It seemed as if anybody who is “anything” on the political and media scenes genuflected and paid obei­sance to the incoming “king.” One could almost imagine tens of thousands of fawning peasants chanting “Obama ... Obama ... Obama,” as they took branches of palm trees and went forth to meet the new messiah, crying. ‘Ho­sanna, blessed is the new king of America who comes in the name of the Lord’” (Matthew 12:13, very loosely paraphrased).

There were a number of what could almost be called “hymns of praise” written for the inauguration celebrations. Although it thankfully never transpired, it would not have been altogether surprising had the climax been a modern Obama-based version of the Hallelujah Chorus (Handel’s Messiah). In such an event, of course, all reference to Jesus Christ the true Messiah would have been expunged. The new Hallelujah Choir would have focused on the new liberal “savior” — Barack Hussein Obama, who many believe has appeared on the American scene to save our wayward nation from its multitude of unnamed sins.

“PILGRIMAGE” TO WASHINGTON

On ABC’s Good Morning America, Diane Sawyer drooled nauseatingly over the fact that “hundreds of thousands” of Americans were making a “pilgrimage“ to Washington in order to participate in “something larger than themselves.” A few weeks earlier, during a Houston Institute panel discussion hosted by Professor Charles Ogletree, David Gergen, a former advisor to four presidents and currently senior political advisor at CNN, lauded the Obama campaign as having been the “most successful campaign ever.” At the same event, Alan Dershowitz, the well-known leftist Harvard law professor, declared that “Obama was probably the most faultless man to assume the high office in the history of the nation. ‘I sometimes believe that he really is a robot and someone manufactured him just for this purpose.’” Dershowitz and his friends are optimistic the newly-arrived Obama administration can create “a more perfect union” in America (Harvard Law Record, 12/4/08).

Every inch of the way along the campaign trail most of the major newspapers, magazines, and TV stations in the nation “ran interference” for the Obama campaign. Major questions were dutifully ignored. Anyone audacious enough to ask why the would-be “emperor” didn’t appear to have any clothes was immediately shunted to one side and made to look like a Neander­thal who was completely out of touch with reality.

LOUIS FARRAKHAN

Along Obama’s road to the White House, the notorious Louis Farrakhan was not to be ignored.. The former head of the Nation of Islam, who has a reputation of being a “rabid anti-Semite,” wanted to promote Obama’s cause. Revealingly, Farrahkan — like Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s racist pastor for 20 years — promotes black empowerment and nationalism. In his Trumpet Newsmagazine, Jeremiah Wright extolled Farrakhan as “truly epitomiz­[ing] greatness.” Farrahkan waxed eloquent in his praise of Obama: “[He] is the hope of the whole world. [Under him] America will change for the better. If you look at Barack Obama’s audiences and look at the effects of his words, these people are being transformed. This young man ... captur[ed] audiences of black, and brown, and red and yellow... A black man with a white mother became a savior to us. A black man with a white mother could turn out to be the one who can lift America from her fall....”

Such adulation was global in nature. The day after the inauguration, a leading London paper commented on “the stratospheric level of hysteria surrounding Barack Obama’s installation as the 44th president of the Unites Sates of America.... Listen to the more messianic of his followers and you could come to believe that he will bring about world peace, an end to poverty, tame the oceans, and conjure up a universally available cure for cancer” (Daily Mail, 1/21/09).

The Guardian, Britain’s leading leftist (socialist) paper, described Obama’s presidency as, “A magical spell that will open a new American era.” The paper described Obama’s meteoric rise to political fame from being, (a) an obscure community organizer, (b) a state senator who refused to vote on 31 important issues, (c) an obscure U.S. senator (99th out of 100 in seniority), into (d) the highest office holder in the land, in just 13 years — without any substantive political achievements to his name — as “an act of political alchemy.” [The Oxford Universal Dictionary defines alchemy as “the transmutation of baser metals into gold”]

Author Bernard Goldberg declared that Obama’s rise to power was the culmination of “a slobbering love affair ... the true (and pathetic) story of a torrid romance between Barack Obama and the mainstream media.” Another author, James Sundquist,­ opin­ed that such worldwide adulation was part of the “immaculate deception” that swept the practically unknown 47-year-old to the pinnacle of political power in Washington. Gary North stated the whole thing was brought about through “the audacity of hype.”

OBAMA’S ‘MOST SOLEMN OATH’ :
‘PREPAR[ING ] THE NATION FOR A NEW AGE’

In his inaugural address, Obama declared that he was making “a most solemn oath” to “prepare the nation for a new age” so that it would “meet the demands of [that] new age.” Long-time readers of Midnight Messenger will recognize such terminology as being both masonic and as having been spawn­ed by the occult elite who envision the creation of “new age” in which a “new world order” will emerge to rule the world.

Rabbi Michael Higger, in his 1932 book, The Jewish Utopia, also predicted such a new age — “a universal paradise on earth ... [a] new age” (p.25), and a “new order” (p.23). The rabbi also termed this planned “Jewish utopia” as the “Kingdom of God on earth” that will result in an “ideal state of social justice and righteousness, when all men will lead an ideal and godly life” (p.94). “The basis of the ... Utopia is ... the millennium pictured by the prophets” (p.8).

Lest Christian readers be deluded into thinking otherwise, Rabbi Higger makes it clear that in this planned “messianic” age there will be no place for Jesus Christ, the true Messiah. As it is allegedly “imbued with the trinity of dogmatism, prejudice, and ignorance ... Christianity will be gone” (pgs.3,4).

‘TRANSMUTATION INTO GOLD’

With the inauguration of Barack Oba­ma, did we in fact witness what The Guardian described as “an act of political alchemy”? Did we witness “the transmutation of a base [political] metal into [political] gold”? In the words of Alan Dershowitz, is Obama “really ... a robot and [did] someone manufacture him just for this purpose”? Did somebody or somebodies work “a magical spell that [is planned to] open a new American era”?

Has the world just witnessed a replay of a scene that took place in the early 1900s? In his autobiography, Challenging Years, Rabbi Stephen Wise (1874-1949) tells how he and his friends “man­ufactured” president Woodrow Wilson. Wise recalls a “non-political address” he gave in 1910: “[O]f Wood­row Wilson I said, ‘On Tuesday the President of Princeton University will be elected governor of your state. He will not complete his term of office as governor. In November, 1912, he will be elected President of the United States. In March, 1917, he will be inaugurated for the second time as President” (p.161). Voila! A president was “manufactured.”

The possibility that a black American, especially one who can’t even produce his own birth certificate, could on his own be elected president would have been “unthinkable” just a few years ago. As Eldridge Cleaver point­ed out in the late 1960s, “through an elaborate system of sanc­tions, re­wards, penalties, and persecutions — with, more often than not, members of the black bourgeoisie acting as hatchet men — any Negro who sought leadership over the black mas­ses and refused to become a tool of the white power structure was either cast into prison, killed, hounded out of the country, or blasted into obscurity and isolated in his own land and among his own people. His isolation was assured by publicity boycotts alternated by character assassinations in the mass media, and by fratricidal power plays of Uncle Toms who control the Negro community on behalf of the white power structure” (Soul On Ice, p.87).

Below the surface on the political scene, little if anything has changed. Across the nation, there are numerous black politicians (ranging from councilmen, to mayors, to state and national congressmen and senators). Research has failed to find even one that has not been basically “a tool of the white power structure.” The few who initially showed signs of possible “independence of thought” were, as Eld­ridge Cleaver put it, “blasted into obscurity and isolated in his own land and among his own people. [Their] isolation was assured by publicity boycotts alternated by character assassinations in the mass media, and by fratricidal power plays of Uncle Toms who control the Negro community on behalf of the white power structure.” In the world of political reality, and particularly in the political “big leagues,” the basic rule is that, “to get anywhere,” one has to “pay to play.” The price of “success” is high — the surrender of both one’s personal integrity and any thought of defending the long-term welfare of the United States as a sovereign nation. Al­though it is, of course, politically expedient to deny this sordid reality, politicians must figuratively “sell their souls to the company store” if they are to advance their careers.

A VALUABLE LESSON

We could, perhaps, learn a valuable lesson from the biblical example of Christ’s temptation in the wilderness. There, Satan “showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them, And said to him, ‘All these thing will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me’” (Matthew 4:9). In a strong sense, at least in principle, the same offer applies — to one degree or another — to anyone whose goal is to attain high political office. How many politicians, or for that matter anyone else in a somewhat similar corporate situation, would answer as did Jesus Christ: “Get behind me, Satan, for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve” (Matthew 4:10)?

‘AUDACITY OF HOPE’

We should bear in mind an oft-quoted statement of President Franklin D. Roosevelt: “In politics there are no accidents. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.” There is one thing for sure. Barack Hussein Obama did not, suddenly and magically, “appear out of nowhere” to rocket to the very pinnacle of political power in the United States. He was, as Alan Dersho­witz implied, “manufactured ... just for this purpose.” What was the manufacturing process?

Politics is no different than many other public occupations. There is no “free lunch.” On the religious scene for example, going back more than 60 years America witnessed the meteoric rise to international fame of an obscure itinerant preacher named Billy Graham. Billy was “going nowhere fast” when newspaper tycoon Randolph Hearst sent telegrams to all the editors in his publishing empire. The message was simple: “Pump Graham.” Within months, Graham went from speaking to groups of a couple of dozen to speaking to crowds numbering in the tens of thou­sands. (You can read the full story of Billy’s rise to fame in Dr. Cathy Burns 788-page book, Billy Graham and His Friends: A Hidden Agenda? Very educational!

Barack Obama got much the same treatment, but on a much larger scale. Months before he declared as a presidential candidate, we sensed and wrote about the fact that “the fix was on.” Following the late 2006 publication of his book, The Audacity of Hope, Obama “caught fire.” During his book tour he was “oohed” and “ahed.” over by all the television networks. Appearing on virtually every leading talk show, he got multiple millions of dollars of free publicity and quickly became a household name. There was only positive publicity. Former democratic Senate leader Tom Daschle gush­ed over the fact that Obama was “one of those rare individuals who has almost limitless potential and seems to defy most of the political laws of gravity.” The gullible public were being subliminally brainwashed.

OBAMA ‘MANUFACTURED’

For a much clearer look into how Obama was “manufactured,” we quote directly from an article in The Canadian Jewish News, January 4, 2008. Written by Ron Kampeas, it was titled, Obama and the Jews. Referring to Oba­ma’s rapid ascent on the political ladder, he stated: “What you might not hear is that the Illinois senator ... has made Jewish leaders an early stop at every stage of his political career.

“In his first run for the Illinois Senate in 1996, he sought the backing of Alan Solow, a top Chicago lawyer. Eight years later, running for the U.S. Senate — long before he became a shoo-in, when he was running in a Democratic field packed with a dozen candidates, including some Jews — one of his first meetings was with Robert Schrayer, a top Jewish philanthropist in Chicago. When he launched his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination in late 2006, he named as his fund-raising chief Alan Solo­mont, the Boston Jewish philanthropist. And he chose a gathering of the pro-Israel lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee ... to deliver his presidential candidacy’s foreign policy speech: [‘Some of my earliest and most ardent supporters came from the Jewish community in Chicago,” Obama had earlier told another group].

“His Jewish followers are fervent, distributing ‘Obama ‘08' yarmulkes early in his campaign” (Canadian Jewish News, January 4, 2008).

To further “defy the laws of political gravity,” Hollywood jumped on the Obama bandwagon. As the Los Angeles Times headlined, he became a “cause celebre... From the beginning, Hollywood ... loved the Obama story — his ‘pitch’ as they say — but they were wary of his real box office potential... The only thing the town likes better than a great story is a winning one...”

Commenting on the fact that the movie capital’s initial support of Hilary Clinton was beginning to wane, film producer Brian Quintana commented: “It’s not a question of loyalty; Barack is simply too close to making history for Hollywood not to be a part of it. For most of us ... Barack has become a movement” (Los Angeles Times, January 8, 2008).

‘THE FIRST JEWISH PRESI­DENT’

That was a headline in the Chicago Tribune on December 12 of last year. The article by Tom Hundley opened with: “Writer Toni Morrison famously dubbed Bill Clinton ‘the first black president’ — a title he fervently embraced. Abner Mikva, the Chicago Democratic stalwart and former Clinton White House counsel, offers a variation on that theme. ‘If Clinton was our first black president, then Barack Obama is our first Jewish president,’ says Mikva, who was among the first to spot the potential of the skinny law school graduate with the odd name.

“‘I use a Yiddish expression, yiddishe neshuma, to describe him,’ explains Mikva. ‘It means a Jewish soul... It means a sensitive, sympathetic personality, someone who understands where you are coming from.’

“Putting aside which of the three great Abrahamic religions can lay claim to Obama’s soul, it is clear that his political career, from its South Side inception to the audacious run for the White House, was nurtured and enabled by a close-knit network of Chicago Jews.

“Mikva and his friend Newton Minow ... were there from the beginning. Minow first heard about Obama in 1988 from his daughter Martha, a professor at Harvard, where Obama was studying law... When Obama graduated, Mikva, then a U.S. appeals court judge in Washington, tried to lure him to a prestigious clerkship, but Obama turned him down... That, according the Mikva took chutzpah... Both Mikva and Minow say they sens­ed back then that Obama was something special. They made a point of staying in touch....

“Obama’s circle of Jewish patrons and advisors widened in 1992 when he became involved in a voter registration drive that brought him into contact with Bettylu Saltzman, a liberal activist (and daughter of the late Philip Klutznik, a former commerce secretary and shopping mall developer). Saltzman said she knew from the moment she met Obama he would some day be president. She introduced him to David Axelrod, who saw something similar.

“Axelrod designed the strategy in which Obama first won the backing of white liberals and then reached out to blacks. Jews made up a significant number of the first constituency. ‘As Jews got to know him, they recognized a kindred spirit, not someone who came down from Mars,’ Mikva said. Rabbi Arnold Wolfe, of KAM Israel synagogue across the street from Obama’s Chicago home, was another backer. Like Mikva, he sees what he calls Oba­ma’s ‘Jewish side.’

“‘Obama is from nowhere and everywhere — just like the Jews. He’s black, he’s white, he’s American, he’s Asian, he’s African — and so are we.’

“Certainly, Obama is comfortable with Jews, especially Jews from Chicago. Axelrod will remain at his side as senior advisor, and Rahm Emanuel [is his] White House chief of staff....

“Throughout the presidential campaign, Obama did and said what was necessary to court the Jewish vote...” (Chicago Tribune, December 12, 2008).

Voila! A new American president is “manufactured.”

From coast-to-coast during the campaign, the rest of the liberal media were equally unsparing in its promotion of the new hero. It seemed most of those on the Left wanted a to “play a part on making history.” When their mission was accomplished they drooled over the success of their efforts and in the wonders of their “creation.”

“CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN”

During the lengthy presidential campaign Barack Obama clung tenaciously to his slogan of “CHANGE.” At all his campaign appearances the word “change” was everywhere present, but nowhere defined. Having experienced eight horrifyingly catastrophic and tortuous years of lies, unnecessary wars, unprecedented deficits, and a doubling of the national debt under the lawless administration of George W. Bush, America was certainly in need of radical change. But, although “change” was Barack Obama’s undying mantra along the road to the White House, we never heard anything specific about what the charismatic Chicago politician had in mind with regard to “change.” In his 1995 autobiography, Dream >From My Father, Obama stated: “I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes can project their own views.” In other words, without having been given any specifics as to what “changes” he had in mind, everyone was left to conjure up in their own minds how they would like to interpret what was meant by “change.” While many were uncomfortable with this lack of specifics, most conjured up vague dreams of a “new” Amer­ican promised land — one “flowing with milk and honey.” They voted accordingly.

Due to his unrelenting liberal-istic/social­istic voting record since he entered the Senate in 2005, is it not reasonable to believe that the policies of the Obama administration will be determined along the same socialistic lines? In previous articles in Midnight Messenger, we laid out and documented the relentless drive toward the creation of a Socialist America that began with Roosevelt. It accelerated greatly during Lyndon Baynes Johnson’s “Great Society” in the 1960s. With a few minor interruptions, it has ever since continued on its relentless path of destruction. The leftist agenda calls for a diminution of individual rights and freedoms, and a massive concentration of power in the hands of civil government. Under Socialist dog­ma, collective man — in the form of an all-powerful State — usurps the place of the Creator God and declares itself to be the ultimate authority. As the new “god,” the State feels obligated to provide all the needs of its cringing subjects from the womb to the tomb. Bible students will, of course, recognize that the believers in such insanity have swallowed — hook, line, and sinker — the Satanic lie that they can be “as god” (Genesis 3:5). Not a good idea!

BELIEVING THE SATANIC LIE

This phony Socialist “utopia” has been sold to the gullible American people under such false labels as “liberalism, “the New Deal” and “the Great Society.” The wrapping on these deceitful packages was extremely attractive. Appealing to man’s lowest, natural instincts (the desire to get something for nothing), it was designed to deceive. Like the diabolical “package” Satan sold Eve in the Garden of Eden, it looked “pleasant to the eye,” and seemed to be what was need­ed to take care of everyone’s future welfare. In similar manner, the America people fell for this con and “did eat” of it (Genesis 3:6-7 paraphrased). Like Adam and Eve, the American people didn’t want to heed the warning that, if they fell for that devilish ruse, their once free and powerful Republic would “surely die” (v.4). Since that time our Republic has “surely” been dying.

SO MUCH PIOUS CANT

Political talk about allegiance to the Constitution of the United States is just so much pious cant. It’s totally meaningless. To most politicians, the Constitution to which they have sworn oaths of allegiance, is — to use the quoted words of George W. Bush — just “a goddamned piece of paper.” In fact, we haven’t had anything resembling a truly constitutional form of government since at least 1933 — when Franklin D. Roosevelt and his phony New Deal came on the scene. The Introduction to Senate Report 93-549 (93rd Congress, 1st Session, 1973) summarized the situation: “A majority of the people of the United States have lived all their lives under emergency rule. For 40 years [now 76 years], freedoms and government procedures guaranteed by the Constitution have, in varying degrees, been abridged by laws brought into force by states of national emergency... In the United States, actions taken by the Government in times of great crises have — from, at least, the Civil War — in important ways, shaped the present phenomenon of a permanent state of national emergency....”

FDR’s presidency in actual fact mark­ed the phasing out of Constitutional government (ratified in1787-1788) and the phasing in Socialism under the name of “liberalism.” No one recognized this fact more clear­ly than did Norman Thomas (1884-1968). Thom­as, for decades a regular Socialist Party candidate for president of the United States, declared in a 1944 speech: “The Amer­ican people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation without knowing how it hap­pened.” Thomas went on to say,”I no longer need to run as a presidential candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democrat Party has adopted our program.”

Norman Thomas was right. In recent decades Americans have wholeheartedly embraced almost “every fragment of the socialist program.” Like mindless sheep, most have allowed themselves to be led down the road deceitfully labeled “liberal heaven.” Unknown to most, it is in fact a freeway leading to a feudal concentration camp futuristically portrayed in such novels as 1984 by George Orwell and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

SOCIALISM’S “SHABBY SECRET”

Long-term, socialism (aka, liberalism or the “welfare state”) is a fraud. As Alan Greenspan wrote in 1966 regarding LBJ’s New Deal, it is economically unsustainable. By its very nature, it always has to operate in the red: “This,” wrote Greenspan, “is the shab­by secret of the welfare statists’ tirade against gold [Constitutional honest money].” Deficit spending (like the current annual federal deficit of more than $1,000,000,000,000) is simply a scheme for “the hidden confiscation of wealth.” To exist, socialist governments must constantly borrow and spend until inevitably the credit bubble explodes — and society drowns in red ink. This fiscal insanity may temporarily create a false sense of “wealth,” but it invariably leads to a financial catastrophe and ultimate slavery. Look around! Could we be witnessing the opening scenes of such a tragedy on the American scene?

“FOOLS GOLD”

America’s current financial debacle springs directly from the financial fraud perpetrated on long-suffering American people in the mid-1960s. To finance their devious liberal schemes, President Johnson, with the backing of both houses of Congress, abandoned constitutional money (silver and gold, Article 1, Section 10), and printed fiat “money” to finance their destructive Socialist agenda. The socialistic “fools gold” sold to us by the liberal loonies and the other political traitors in Washington since the 1960s is now being exposed for what it really is — worthless dirt. Responsibility for the terrible financial carnage presently sweeping across the nation must be laid squarely on the shoulders of those political leaders and their behind-the-scenes manipulators. In recent decades Congress has been repeatedly warned about the ultimate results of their gross fiscal irresponsibility if not blatant treachery. Each time, the leadership has deliberately chosen to turn both a blind eye and a deaf ear to those warnings. They have another agenda. They’re marching to another drummer. They intend to destroy the biblically-based Republic to which they have treacherously sworn allegiance.

For the past 100 years the international bankers have financed efforts to enslave the world through socialism and communism. Both are Jewish in origin, and have the same objective. In the words of the highly-authoritative Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, they are both manifestations of­ “Jew­ish Messianic feeling” (p.584). Do many Jews believe that — through such movements — they can act as a “messiah” and thus “save the world”? Rabbi Roland Gittlesohn answers: “What do Jews believe about the Messiah?... they do not expect the Messiah to be the son of God. Most non-Orthodox Jews hinge their hopes more on a messianic age than on an individual messiah.” He then quotes an unnamed rabbi: “There is a spark of messiah in all of us; when we [Jews] succeed in putting together all our individual sparks, the result will constitute the coming of the messiah” (The Meaning of Judaism, 1970, pgs. 50-51).

But first the ground must be prepared for such an event. All traces of the Christian foundations of our Republic must be wiped out, and the people brain­washed into believing that the State, alone, has all the answers. Then the fiat money system must be imploded so that the impoverished population cries out to be saved from its trials and tribulations. That situation may now be looming on the horizon.

At the recent World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, “British [socialist] prime minister George Brown called for world leaders to set about reforming international institutions to prevent a repeat of the circumstances that led to the current financial crisis... ‘We have to be far bolder and far more imaginative,’ Brown said. ‘We want to create a global society (as) the institutions we built 60 years ago [the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund] are out of date’” (CNN, 1/31/09). Back in 1966, did not Dr. Carroll Quigley reveal that this has been their plan all along? “[T]he powers of financial capitalism [have] another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system in each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system [is] to be controlled in a feudal fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences” (Tragedy and Hope, p.324).

OBAMA: A BLACK DICTATOR?

Is it beyond the realm of possibility that Barack Obama was chosen by the powers-that-be to be in the White House when this planned catastrophe strikes? If, under marshal law, America is plunged into the planned feudal plantation Barack Obama would emerge as our black dictator? That is a scenario that even the best, most imaginative Oscar-winning Hollywood producer would find impossible to trump. Is Obama, as a black pawn in their international chess game, destined to write this final chapter in the history in what was once known as the land of the free and home of the brave? What a climatic ending that would be to a once “noble experiment” that was highjacked by internationalist bandits on their Luciferian road to a new world order!

Bottom line? We need to understand and acknowledge that we are involved in a spiritual battle. Ultimately, the schemes of the “one world­ers” will be crushed by Al­mighty God. Then, “at the name of Jesus every knee [shall] bow ... and every tongue [shall] confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:10-11)
