As we near Christmas, we hear of Wisemen and poverty.  Namely, a manger or a cave as we find many in the world today in the third world countries; even in Canada where many people have no water in the house, much less sewage; where the leadership is trying to change the world without looking at the deep poverty within his own backyard.

Not that we don’t want to help third world countries, because this is about them too.  But the difference is that in climate of sub zero temperature, it’s very hard for woman on Native reservations to dig holes in the ice and find buckets to be filled with water as the woman of the third world countries.  We must remind our leadership that the Indian Reservation system was copied from South African concentration camps.  No need to explain that we have poverty in both places.

As we near Christmas, perhaps the last Christmas, because the United Nations have voted out the Spirit of Christmas.  Will poverty get better or worse without a God?  Why have people asked: “Where is your God?”  If we ask the G8 country leaders: ‘Where is God?’, maybe they’ll point to the star above and say “Follow it.  You might end up in Jerusalem.  Perhaps Nazareth, or even Bethlehem.” Because you see, the story of the three Wisemen took place in Judea, where the rich followed the star that led them to deep poverty.  So as a new venture for them, (you see, they were astrologers who could tell the signs of the times, but couldn’t even see what was in front of them, namely the poor).  So let us go to the Christmas story, where the wise men came from the Orient.  Let us remember the Oriental people, since we’re on the subject, like the Philippines and other Asian countries. 

So as kings, they wanted to make this poor little baby happy.  You see, when you are wise, you could also be a fool.  Because what good can a poor baby do with gold, incense and myrrh?  They believed because they liked those things, that the baby would too.  But strangely, they never thought of a blanket, much less water and food.  They were wise men.

Are our leaders of G8 wise countries?  Perhaps they don’t know where royalty begun - certainly not with Jesus, because he had no place at the inn to lay down his head.  Perhaps a brick of gold could have been used as a pillow.  Incense, perhaps the ashes, they could have thrown on the baby as ‘from ashes to ashes’, since they fed him not, and myrrh, what could he do with myrrh?  Let us look at the beginning of royalty.

If we look at King David, Kind Solomon, the Pharaoh, Queen of England, descending from these royalties, how did they get so rich?  Where did money begin?  Where did wealth begin?  Let us go back to Egypt, the time of Pharaoh.  We could say Solomon and David, the same.

They received free gifts: wisdom, which is knowledge.  So surprising to the people of then, that they made these people truly be people of God, (and remember these words) they were, but where are they today?  Buried under sand.  Doesn’t that remind us of “Heaven and earth will pass but the word shall remain”?  So if we look at the foot of Mount Sinai when Moses came down with the tablets, remember the opponent of Moses, not to mention names, saying to the people: “Give me your gold and jewelry and I will make you a god, a golden calf.”  You see, Moses brought them out of bondage, slavery and they were cornered by the sea, where the Egyptian army was coming; so that’s where the false god of gold begun.  And I quote: “Moses, are you trying to make yourself a God over us?  You see we’re in trouble.  The Egyptians are coming, so where’s your God?”  Isn’t that like the poor of today crying: “Where is God?”  So they made a golden calf.  I guess that’s where the wealth of nation is based on gold, rather than belief in God.  But you see we have a surprise for you, the reader.  We have an attachment to this photo, where bones and wheels of chariots have recently been found at the place where Moses cross the Red Sea with the Jews, while the others were busy fashioning their false god.

So if you follow the story, where Solomon, David and Pharaoh, they all had golden gods, temples for God, but for them to live in with hundreds of women in slavery, where the poor were made to believe that if they gave their pretty daughters to these false gods; that they would do good with God.  But remember, the God of Israel said to Solomon and David, and let us say first to David: “You are a man of war.  I don’t want any temple from you.  Your son, Solomon will build me one. “  Imagine the war presidents facing God, saying: “I don’t want a temple from you.  You’re a president of war.” 

So to David, the God of Israel said: “Your son Solomon will build me a temple.”  And he spoke to Solomon and said: “If you obey me, I will give you a large posterity.”  And naturally, with a human mind, (or was it a trickery?) Solomon decided to have many children with different women, including Queen Sheba.  But God said “If you disobey me, I will destroy you.”  Now, today the God of Israel says:  “Where are these temples that were built for me for man to live in?”  Remember, Solomon in his glory, imagine, sixty thousand teams of horses, with gold-plated harnesses, silver and all the girlfriends you could find in his harem, who dare asks God: “What is the meaning of life?”  So now, let us go to the detailed explanation of these kings.

They received wisdom.  They gathered the gold and bough slaves in order to build their temple for them to live in.  And to this day, it is the same.  Now let us look at the slave of then, as we know the Pyramids of Egypt are made of stone.  Now, what do you call a man that works with stone?  He’s called a mason.  Free labour, free mason.  God supplied all the materials for free, as he does today.  Remember when we are reading the bible (a book of confessions), the tall cedars of Lebanon were used for the inside the temple.  But now let us decode with the help of this God that helps me understand. And his name is ‘My Lord’.  Don’t be offended because my family comes from royalty and I’m rightfully entitled to claim the lordship of my ancestors, as in England they have lords.  Imagine, they’re all rich, as my ancestors were.  You see, we could give you so many details.

So if we look at the Pharaoh, who was a builder filled with wisdom, all he needed was free masons - free labour, forgive me.  So he bought slaves, gave them a meal and a place to sleep.  So he had the material free, and you remember all the animals they had for sacrifice, but they would feed the slave with that.  And the Pharaoh was also one who could build for free because the material was his and the labour was free.  So now we know how the world was functioning back then without money.  If you have wisdom, go for copyrights and watch the gold flow because the value of money is based on gold.  So what you do as in Africa now, you install water pipes but where the criminal act is, is that you didn’t bring the water.  It was there already.  So how could the G8 make loans and forcing the people to pay for the water?  Now you see, those rich countries control the World Bank.  And you see also, that you did not bring the water and since you are so rich, the pipes mean nothing without water.  So now here’s the new free trade agreement for the world.  We’ll create jobs for you.  This way you’ll have the money to pay for the water.  So what we will do, we will take over your natural resources, such as gold, incense, myrrh, diamonds, petroleum; we will pay you as the free labour of Egypt, minimum wages and we will sell the gold or perhaps keep it for ourselves since we print the money.  So we’re just going to print you some nice cold cash for cold water.  We get the gold, we look good, we gave you work, we don’t feel so guilty that we don’t do anything for the poor; we really believe that we are helping the third world.  But we are liars.  We are exploiting you.

So, this Christmas that those wise men are trying to remove while they say: “Bring us a god or a demon that could help us put our scheme together and we’ll take him.  And if he says no, he’ll have no choice.  We’ll do away with him.”  So wise men say, as Elvis would sing “only fools rush in”.  Maybe they’re all Russian or Orthodox or what have you.  Can you say that you can’t give water?  Because remember, everything that you use in this world, be it in Europe, America, Asia takes its forces in water.  The turbines in a river do not turn themselves and man cannot make the river flow by itself.  So your turbines steal electricity from the rivers so that you could sell it to the people that need it to use all the stupid technology that you claim to have invented.  But remember the Pharaoh, namely the plagues, where God struck the waters with blood.  Imagine if it happened today, not one electric motor in the world would turn.  All your technology would be useless and most of those who live by technology would die in one day because they’re not accustomed to struggle to stay alive.  It is then that you would need these bush people.  These are the real ‘bush’ and you see, God is this way with them

This morning he asked me and I quote “Do you know my boy, what a sharing circle is?”  (referring to the native culture, where people sit in a circle and share their pain and sorrows and joy).  Here in Canada, when the native came as some call them ‘Indians’, they had to hunt so they would make a circle around the buffalos to keep them from running away.  And then anything that was in the circle at the killing was shared, just like the wolves, circling their prey.  Just like the war people circling countries, as for instance in Jericho.  And then go for the kill.  And share the wealth.  That’s what they call ‘Commonwealth’, where we all share.

The movie ‘National Treasure’ if you saw it, let out the secret.  Too much gold in one place is not safe for anyone. So let us build a one–world government and put all the loot in there.  So wars always begin with a circle.  Now, what do you call this, when you circle a city, like Baghdad, perhaps, or Afghanistan?  You ambush them.  But the Lord said this morning “I AMBUSH.  I circle you with the truth.  And then you will humble yourself and I give you all to become wise men or like Solomon and David and Pharaoh, bury yourself under sand.”  So the true King took his strength in poverty.  But as he grew, he shared the wisdom for other kings to learn and to the same.  So if you know the bible, are you a wise man?  If not, go back to poverty, to the manger and learn how to survive, as the poor do because they do believe in your make-believe love.

God bless to the world.
Merry Christmas to all?  And a blessed New Year.

The Mission of the Shroud

If you are the wise men of today, pass this on to everyone you know.  If not, you are as selfish as the Kings.
