Joel’s Army by Howard Ratcliffe

A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a forward mouth. He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy. These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among his brethren.” Proverbs 6:12-19

Naughty means worthless; forward means lying. What the LORD is describing here is what Secret Societies (Masons, Jesuits, Hospitallers, Shriners, Jesters, Templars, countless Knightly Orders) teach initiates. One example of thousands is Sarah Palin proclaiming April 19-22 2008 Prince Hall Masonic Week; Obama is a 320 Prince Hall Mason.

Joel’s Army involves turning Christians into warriors (Thesis), setting up an appropriate adversary, in this case Islamic (Antithesis) and turning Armageddon into a worldwide battle of Satan’s forces against God’s forces (Synthesis). The 30 years war and Crusades were tests and only a small prelude to what WW3 will develop into. People professing to know the LORD need to know the Word of God says “Thou shalt not kill”; Jesus said killing places a person in danger of the judgment. When Joel’s Army takes to killing; the true Christians will drop their weapons.

Armageddon is simply a cleansing of Sin from the world in 1 day. Joel uses the phrase “Great and Terrible Day of the Lord”.Are these 2 days the same? Satanic forces will gather for battle around Jesus and His saints in Jerusalem, but this Gog and Magog gathering from the 4 quarters of the earth happens at the end of the Millennium, not now. Battling Jesus at the 2nd Coming results in the death of 200 million combatants exposed to Jesus’ “Eyes of flame”; 1000 years later, at the end of the Millennium, people numbering as “sand of the sea” die from exposure to the spirit of the LORD. Combining these events and recruiting warriors for both sides of the battlefield is the original Gnostic Lie, and it’s all pure Folly. The Creator of Heaven and the Universe does not need help fighting people, angels or Satan; He created them. The Word of God is not subject to change; He wrote it before Creation. We have 2 choices: Enter a relationship with Jesus Christ or hear “Depart from me, ye worker of iniquity; I never knew you”. Your Calvinist Pastor may tell you God chose you but that’s a lie; the decision is ours.

Essenes (King Bees), Johnniters (worshippers of John the Baptist),Knight Templars, Knights of St John of Jerusalem (Hospitallers) are all the same creatures. They make money through“Destruction” (Chaos) what God has made; loan money (Usury) and hire cheap labor for their New World Order “Construction”. “Ordo Ab Chao” (Order out of Chaos) is bringing stability through a single world leader after the world is reduced to Chaos ie Rubble. Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble introduced us subtly to the Masonic Lodge, and most didn’t even notice they secretly took horned hats with them on bowling night. Ever seen parents keep their child out of school for “Mono”? Most often, it means she was pregnant. You may not remember but Kansas Governor Kathleen Zabelius’ rebuttal to George Bush’s last State of the Union address used the word “Heartland” some 16 times because the NAFTA Superhighway forms a Cross with the Trans-continental Railroad where she was speaking; America is about to be Crucified, or in Qabbalist lingo, America is about to attain the Tipareth level. Some may even recall George Bush Jr. used the same words his father used exactly 11 years to the day before 9/11/2001 “We stand on the threshold of a New World Order” or Bill Clinton’s State of the Union declaring “We force the Spring” on the 666th word. These are examples of the winks and nods occultists see that we do not. Keep your eyes open; Jesus told us to “Be wise as serpents, yet harmless as doves”.

McCain (CFR Globalist), Palin (Charismatic), Obama (Mason, Arab, Muslim), Biden (Zionist) all have the same goal of world war, and on the list is the total destruction of America. Karl Marx, the father of Communism and Confederate war General Albert Pike, head of Scottish Rite Masonry in America both quoted “We are the fathers of Revolutions”. The word Revolution describes the Sun’s track around the Earth; the original fathers of revolution were “Kon-Torrs”; Priests of the Revolver are solar priests ie Satan’s Priests. Today we call them “Neo-Cons”, but they are of the same spiritual father. Communism and Masonry share common goals; a Rouge Coup if you will to bring Esau and his god to a 3rd Jerusalem Temple and give him control over the world and all of its natural resources. WMD’s; getting revenge on Saddam Hussein or Osama bin Laden?That’s a joke. Oil? Money may motivate the worker bees, but the men and women giving the contracts to Halliburton, Bechtel, Raytheon, Dyn Corp, Parsons or Black Water have more money than we can ever imagine. Dov Zakheim as DOD Comptroller admitted he was missing $2.3 Trillion on 9/10/2001 but the following day caught most of us by surprise. For some however, it did not and was the single biggest recruiting tool for Joel’s Army.

Rouge Cou is Sarah Palin’s marketing business. Worldwide Communism (Red Coup) is however, not a Jewish Conspiracy. It is a worldwide Satanic Conspiracy or “Cons” (Priests) stealing (Piracy) Jacob’s inheritance. Its tentacles include the Red Cross, Red Crescent, Red Shield and Red Star; symbolic of all the world’s major religions. Christianity is not a religion; James said pure undefiled religion before God is to visit the Fatherless and Widows. If you are not married to Jesus Christ (Born Again) and do not have God as your Father in Heaven; this refers to you.

Pharisees weren’t Jewish 2000 years ago and have not become so today. They were and are today Kabbalists whose religion is the Tree of Knowledge. Kabbalist Rabbis are unanimous in declaring their religion was delivered by Angels to God’s “Chosen” Men; Jesus said He was God, told us to never call any man on earth “Rabbi”, offered salvation and the earth to the meek, said everyone was invited to the Lord’s Supper, and said to never listen to any Angels. Can you begin to see why Rabbis hate Jesus with unmatched vogor? I’ve read claims that Marx, Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin were Jewish Bolsheviks; it’s all a lie simply because the Bolshevik Revolution was not Jewish in any sense of the word; it was Satanic. Likewise, I’ve read that Gorbachev is atheist and Putin is Russian Orthodox Christian; again it’s all BS and they are all part of the same goal, and the real US/Russia war will be anything but a Cold War. Jesus calls Jerusalem “Spiritual Sodom and Egypt” (Rev 11:8) and used every word but Jewish to describe Pharisees, Scribes and Sadducees when He was here (Mat 23). Obadiah describes the liars in Jerusalem today; read the list for yourself and note the entire book is a judgment of Esau at the 2nd Coming. Question: Is Armageddon what Joel described as the “Great and Terrible Day of the LORD”? Rev 20 states Gog and Magog is a worldwide gathering numbering as the sand of the sea against Jesus Christ in Jerusalem at the end of the Millennium “after the thousand years are expired” Rev 20:7-8 The current war clouds of Russia, US, Israel and Iran cannot possible fill this prophecy.

Jacob is identified in Gen 49, protected in Rev 7 and restored to their inheritance at the end of the Millennium in Eze 48. The Tabernacle of God is restored in Eze 37; Ezekiel 38-39 describes one final gathering “Gog and Magog” which is destroyed by the Spirit of God descending from Heaven; the Temple of the LORD is described in Eze 40-47, and Jacob is restored to the land promised to Abraham in Eze 48. Israel wants to build another Temple and many pastors like John Hagee at Cornerstone Church teach their flock to support this cause. His Cornerstone is not Jesus; it’s the Red Shield of Edom and human sacrifice which began in the days of Hiel sacrificing his sons to rebuild Jericho. Go ahead and give him a big “Sieg Hiel”; he will know what you mean.

The exact time Joel prophesized is a matter of debate. Some researchers claim a time just after Elijah was taken up to heaven and Elisha assumed his mantle (about 840 BC), some about the time of Assyrian captivity 150 years later and others about the time of the captivity of Judah 150 years after that. For my 2 cents; people who do not have the Holy Ghost always try to find 3 dimensional explanations for what they see. For them, Joel becomes a book written after Judah’s captivity because of Joel 3:1 “I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem”. I believe Joel is also Jesus Christ who with perfect foreknowledge warned us about 2 times when Judah would be held captive, so I put this book with Elisha. Keep this in mind; if Edom is causing this war around Jerusalem today; Judah is not there. I’ll state this plainly, Judah is in Diaspora and will be until they are restored after the 2nd Coming. Notice the spelling in the Authorized Bible (KJV) in Revelation 7:5 “Juda”; this is for the exact same reason Abram became Abraham when he covenanted with Melchisedek; Juda will do the same thing and will enter the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ as Born Again Christians. There is no salvation in Old Testament Law and hasn’t been any since the Crucifixion of God. I don’t mean to scare anyone here, but the “Daily Sacrifice” described in Daniel (eg 12:11) is human sacrifice, not suitable animals; the altar of the Lord is the altar of Antichrist; the Temple is an Antichrist Temple as well and as Daniel said “none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand” Dan 12:10

Joel’s Army, Elijah Revolution, Latter Rain Revival, and Sacred Assembly are a few names associated with Joel’s prophecy. Joelmeans JEHOVAHis GOD. JEHOVAH means “Self Existent” or “I AM”. Joel uses LORD in capitals; the reason is critical to understanding when Joel’s prophecy will occur. I will not privately interpret this, but it should become apparent.

Joel “JEHOVAH IS GOD”, Obadiah “Servant of JEHOVAH” and Melchisedek “KING OF SALEM” all share ambiguity about their earthly lives. In the case of Melchisedek, Hebrews 7 makes it perfectly clear Jesus Christ is Melchisedek; He gave the first Eucharist to Abram (Genesis 14:18) and after making Covenant, Abram became Abraham (Gen 17:5); the h in Hebrew means God is with me. David knew Melchisedek was God incarnate as did Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego who walked in Nebuchadnezzar’s furnace with the Son of God. (Dan 3:25) Jesus Christ has always has been and always will be the only Melchisedek. Sorry, but Mormon men claiming this title are deceived. In the case of Obadiah and Joel, I see the same parallels. When God is in flesh, He is the Priest of the Most High. LORD is the Spirit of GOD in Heaven. At the 2nd Coming, Jesus destroys the false priesthood described in Obadiah made up of Edomites, Aryan Medes, Babylonians who are in Jacob’s “House”. Identity Theft is a big deal folks; it pays for us to know Jesus first and foremost, and to know our enemy. Paul told us the enemy is not flesh but forces of darkness ie the angels who brought Kabbalah to Man. Rabbis are in agreement the Kabbalah came from angels; this is why God forbids spirit communication and the calling of any man “Rabbi” (teacher). Jesus is the Holy Ghost; He uses this vehicle to covenant with humanity called the “Wedding of the Lamb” and to teach His Word (He is the Word as well). The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of God; talking with another spirit is fornication, and grounds for Jesus to terminate the marriage. The lie about Nephilim being offspring of actual human unions with fallen angels arose out of Kabbalah as well; it’s nonsense; Giant and Nephilim are 2 very different things I have covered in other articles. I have an article on Obadiah; this book describes the judgment of Esau and the Edomites pretending to be Jewish today as Jacob’s Twin. Folks, if you can’t tell Jacob’s Twin from Jacob, how are you going to tell Antichrist (Anti means Alternative) from Jesus Christ? God put the real Jacob in Diaspora over 3600 years ago as punishment as well as protection; Edom’s fakes founded Israel and are ready to launch WW3 at any time; as 330 Freemason Ed Sullivan said “We have a really big shooo”. It’s way past time to establish a covenant with the LORD!

Joel is another matter.I believe Joel, Obadiah and Melshisedek are all Jesus Christ. Care to debate the issue?

Congregation is in the New Testament once; Paul waited until the congregation broke up before he preached the gospel and was soon stoned for doing it. Jesus built His Church in separated individuals who listen to Him through the Holy Ghost, not Pastors and Priests who assume His roles, Rabbis who ordered His Crucifixion and still wait for their Messiah or men called “Father”. My “Father” is in Heaven and yours should be as well. Jesus said He came in His Father’s name and was rejected but when another Messiah would come in his own name and be accepted.Joel uses phrases “sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders”; “Let the ministers of the LORDweep between the porch and the altar”; “I will remove far off from you the northern army”; “I am in the midst of Israel”; “I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem”; “when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded”; “the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining”; “the LORD shall utter his voice”. Right now (2008) Juda is in Diaspora, not captivity. When the LORD is with them they will become Judah. If there is a porch and altar of the LORD and ministers of the LORD, Joel must be describing an end of Millennium prophecy. Read Rev 20:8-9 and compare it to Joel 3:16-18; these are events after the 1000 years, not before.

Joel’s Army is primarily a creation of Charismatic and Pentecostal movements. Generally, these groups believe gifts of prophecy, faith healing, speaking in tongues, ecstasy will be given to Man as they were given to the original apostles in the latter days; a Latter Rain if you will. Charles Parham founded the movement at the turn of the century; his unsound doctrines included guaranteed health, annihilation of the unsaved (bible says eternal life or eternal torment), anglo-Israelism and 2 “Races” of human beings on earth. The last 2 may need clarification. Brit-American-Israelism is the same doctrine which teaches these nations are filled with the lost Tribes of Israel; specifically Dan, Ephraim and Manasseh. Mormons are taught this lie as well. I hate to burst bubbles, but Anglos descend from pagan barbarian tribes (Angles, Saxons, Normans, Vikings, Goths, Picts, Scythians etc) who ultimately can largely trace their lineage back to Japeth. Parham claimed his followers spoke Bohemian; interesting because the word means “person outside of social norms”; Gypsies describe them perfectly and they can be traced back to the Iranian Highlands. Parham was merely carrying on Gypsy tradition (shamanism, drugs, chicanery, fraud, fortune telling, totenism, fetish-ism etc). His 2 “Race” theory contradicts the bible in that Man was created in God’s image; there is only 1 Race of Man on earth. Parham got this idea from Kabbalist Rabbis who teach Giant means Nephilim, a ½ breed Race of Fallen Angels and human women. Jennifer Beals and Christopher Walken starred in Prophecy II illustrating this nonsense. I don’t want to hammer on Parham; except to say his false doctrine has grown by leaps and bounds. Topeka KS, the Azusa St Mission, Promise Keepers, Church of Nazarene (James Dobson Focus on the Family is in this), The Call DC, Solemn Assembly and Vineyard Fellowship pull in thousands of unsuspecting people. One recent example of this fraud was Todd Bentley’s Fresh Fire Ministry in Lakeland Fl; his real criminal record, full body tattoos, brazen theft and affair was made public. Oops! 300,000 Assembly of God Churches claim to have 60 million followers around the world today who believe they are Israelites (Mormons have another 11 million who believe this) and Sarah Palin is one that America should pay attention to.
