"Traditionally believed to have been established by Charlemagne, who was crowned emperor by Pope Leo III in 800, the empire lasted until the renunciation of the imperial title by Francis II in 1806. The reign of the German Otto I (the Great; r. 962–973), who revived the imperial title after Carolingian decline, is also sometimes regarded as the beginning of the empire. The name Holy Roman Empire (not adopted until the reign of Frederick I Barbarossa) reflected Charlemagne's claim that his empire was the successor to the Roman Empire and that this temporal power was augmented by his status as God's principal vicar in the temporal realm (parallel to the pope's in the spiritual realm). These were successive dynasties of German kings from the mid 10th century until the abolition of the empire."

The title of Holy Roman Emperor was born from successive dynasties of German kings. One common thread among these emperors is that they gave their allegiance to the Catholic church and were in fact set up by that church to be secular arms of the church’s authority. Before being crowed emperor by the Pope, these German emperors were often referred to as the “King of the Romans”; this term was also used to refer to the emperor’s heir designate. It was in fact the King of the Romans who killed Jesus. Remember, before Jesus was sentenced to death, the Jews cried, “We have no king but Caesar.” (John 19:15) Jesus was killed under Roman rulership and He is coming back to judge the Romans.

Although originally allied with the papacy, the Holy Roman empire eventually got into a struggle with the Pope over the leadership of Christian Europe. The 17th century reformation furthered this schism as some German princes aligned themselves with the Protestants against the Catholic Emperor. The climax to this turmoil was the Thirty Years War, which devastated Germany and left the Emperor with nominal authority over a loose collection of semi- independent Germanic states. The second Reich is marked by the proclamation of Wilhelm I of Prussia as emperor of Germany. It lasted from (1870 - 1919).

Baptized and raised a Roman Catholic, Hitler came to power in 1921 as the Fuhrer of Germany’s National Socialist Party. Hitler primary political aspiration was the establishment of the Roman Empire’s third Reich. Hitler was really another Roman Emperor. If you trace the facts, the Germans – under Hitler’s regime - were marching on Rome. He had a pact with Mussolini, but his objective was to become Caesar in Rome and thereby rule the world.

Americans must wake up out of a deep sleep. For example, we did not invade Iraq to defend democracy. They try to brainwash our soldiers into believing that we are fighting to defend God, Mom, apple pie, hot dogs, and baseball. We march over there - flags raised - to free the Iraqis from tyrannical oppression. This could not be further from the truth. There are tyrants all over the world. Why would we go halfway around the world to oppose tyranny when Castro is sitting 90 miles off of our coast in Cuba? The United States is in Iraq because we need a military presence dispatched around the globe to facilitate control and enforce the dictates of the new world order.

Wars are no longer fought based on the interests of one particular country, but on the desires of the Roman Empire. Standing armies are no longer dedicated to the countries they represent, but are global forces being manipulated by master chess players whom we don’t see. Presidents, Prime Ministers, etc. these are just figureheads and are of no consequence. You may have cast your ballot, but who counts the votes? You saw how they put a stop to counting votes down in Florida in the 2000 election and simply dictated who won when it got too close. They must attempt to maintain control so that things do not get out of hand. Every so often, they take a pulse on society to see just how much influence they exert. A good example of this was the “War of the Worlds” radio broadcast in 1938 where they simulated a Martian invasion which confused and scared many, even causing some to commit suicide. Another great example? 9-11.

"The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is a bi-national United States and Canadian organization charged with the missions of aerospace warning and aerospace control for North America. Aerospace warning includes the monitoring of man- made objects in space, and the detection, validation, and warning of attack against North America whether by aircraft, missiles, or space vehicles, utilizing mutual support arrangements with other commands. Aerospace control includes ensuring air sovereignty and air defense of the airspace of Canada and the United States." http://wwww.norad.mil/about_us.htm

The charter of this organization is to ensure air sovereignty and defense, yet in this case they failed in 3 separate attacks. Before a plane ever takes off the ground it has to file a flight plan. Resources are set-up throughout this country - from local air traffic control up to NORAD - to allow for immediate detection and response when a plane is off course. In such case, there are a number of options including contacting the pilots, scrambling the controls, using jets to redirect the plane, and even shooting down the threat. Yet we could not stop 1 of those planes that day? In truth, the U.S. government needed a trigger to affect the minds of Americans which would lower resistance to the idea of invading Iraq.

Some might say that these comments are unpatriotic, but since when did Christianity become defined by patriotism? A German in 1940 following Hitler was a good patriot; he was serving his country and his government faithfully. People have been brainwashed to believe that this is a Christian country and their eyes well with tears when they see the flag. Why? Where in the Bible does it instruct us to be so caught up in our countries? I am not condoning lawlessness; I am asking you to be thoughtful about what your allegiance should be if your country becomes unrighteous? What if the rule of law (or republic) to which you pledge loyalty legalizes the wholesale murder of over 1 million babies a year? This is not a nation under God. Yet saying these things marks me as an enemy of the state. If the system stood against what was wrong, then I could stand with it. Those who believe that allegiance to this country is their Christian duty have fallen prey to the lying, anti-christ spirit. Yes, we should pray for our country, for our leadership, but our allegiance must be to God first, foremost, and exclusively.

Of course, God is ultimately in control of all - directing things as He sees fit. Whether you are dealing with the Republican and Democratic party, both are evil. Yet, one may move things in a particular direction faster than the other. So if God wants to slow down the end time sequences, He will let one person win and if He wants to speed things up, He may let another win. The world is headed in the same direction and towards the same end no matter who gets in office. In the meantime, the mystery of iniquity continues to work leading up to the time when that “Wicked” is revealed.
