Imagine you are watching a movie, a sort of action-thriller/apocalyptic/science fiction thing like The Matrix. In the story, there is a world religion that is planning the takeover of the planet. A secret, elite group gathers to lay out the plan for the century ahead. Their ingenious strategy will not be out in the open, but behind the scenes.
What they will do is pull the wool over the eyes of mankind by bringing the world into debt to them, control thinking by means of all kinds of media, promoting materialism and atheism, creating world wars, creating diseases and plagues, bringing religion into a crisis, introducing a public education, promoting terrorism, distracting all people with entertainment, collapsing the world economy, and then introducing their messiah who saves the day.
Men as influential as Henry Ford, the poet Ezra Pound, the megalomaniac Adolf Hitler, virtually every known conspiracy theorist, and a major part of the Islamic world did not and do not believe this is fiction. The document that they believed and believe is called The Protocols of Zion. Most reliable observers consider the document a forgery and a lie and can produce a more-than-compelling case that this is so, citing the sources from which it sprang and who really wrote it and why. To those hungry for conspiracy or who need to fan their hatred, those who believe it is a false document have been duped.
Mel Gibson's father probably subscribes to this and has shared his paranoia with his son. Indeed, Hollywood is, we are told, actually owned by a Jewish establishment that apparently did not care for Gibson's The Passion and actively opposed the movie.
But what is of more importance is the Islamic world that seems to seek the annihilation of the Jews in Israel. The Protocols are no joke to them. They promote the idea to their people that the Jews and all sympathizers must be stopped. So the infamous document, almost unknown in the West, is daily bread in the Arab countries.
There are a couple of things about The Protocols that stand out: it sounds eerily like Biblical prophecy and what it predicted for the 20th century has become reality. It was a very accurate forecast of what would happen. How could the forgers have seen that? Consider this information from Wikipedia:
"While there is continued popularity of The Protocols in nations from South America to Asia, since the defeat of Nazi Germany and fascist Italy in the Second World War governments or political leaders in most parts of the world have generally avoided claims that The Protocols represent factual evidence of a real Jewish conspiracy. The exception to this is the Middle East, where a large number of Arab and Muslim regimes and leaders have endorsed them as authentic.
"Past endorsements of The Protocols from Presidents Gamal Abdel Nasser and Anwar Sadat of Egypt, one of the President Arifs of Iraq, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, and Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi of Libya, among other political and intellectual leaders of the Arab world, are echoed by 21st century endorsements from the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Sheikh Ekrima Sa'id Sabri and Hamas to the education ministry of Saudi Arabia.[39]
"As popular opposition to Israel spread across the Middle East in the years following its creation in 1948, many Arab governments funded new printings of the Protocols, and taught them in their schools as historical fact. They have been accepted as such by many Islamist organizations, such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Reportedly, Arabic editions issued in the Middle East were found on sale as far away as London.[40] There are at least nine different Arabic translations of the Protocols and more editions than in any other language including German.[35] The Protocols also figure prominently in the antisemitic propaganda distributed internationally by the Arab countries and have spread to other Muslim countries, such as Pakistan, Malaysia, and Indonesia.[35]"
An article in the Egyptian state-owned newspaper al-Akhbar on February 3, 2002 stated:
All the evils that currently affect the world are the doings of Zionism. This is not surprising, because the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which were established by their wise men more than a century ago, are proceeding according to a meticulous and precise plan and time schedule, and they are proof that even though they are a minority, their goal is to rule the world and the entire human race."
In October 2002, a private Egyptian television company Dream TV produced a 41-part "historical drama" A Knight Without a Horse (Fars Bela Gewad), largely based on the Protocols, which ran on 17 Arabic-language satellite television channels, including government-owned Egypt Television (ETV), for a month, causing concerns in the West. Egypt's Information Minister Safwat El-Sherif announced that the series "contains no antisemitic material".
I could go on and on about how this literature is distributed in Russia, Libya, Indonesia, Japan, Australia, and virtually all over the globe. It is promoted by Farrakahn in American Islam. It especially affects impressionable people. My point is that this idea not only influences millions of people, but it fans hatred and paranoia and helps fuel terrorist propaganda.
I looked, in my last blog , at the Koranic call to violence against Jews, Christians and unbelievers in Islam, with Jews at the pinacle. Here, for them, is the reason.
How many of them believe in a Jewish plan of world conquest? How many of their leaders inflame them to take action? What would they do with WMD's?
Rev. 16:12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.
13Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.
15"Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed."
16Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.

How well do I remember the Protocols of The Elders of Zion? When I was involved in the Patriot Movement many of those folks believed that Book. Most had never read it just had hand me down information from it. It is easy for people to get into that train of thought when they don't check the facts or use common sense. That culture had just enough sprinklings of truth to give it some credibility. There was never any hard evidence on any of it. You always had to make a leap of faith or just accept some suggestions as fact. Kind of like Evolution. From the ape to man you have to just have faith that some of us stopped swinging from trees and started driving cars. In Atlanta I think the apes may be able to drive better. One other thing, most people want to believe these conspiracy theories because of pride of life that old sin. I should be King. I should be rich. I should be better than you. And the angels, who kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation. Even some of God’s Angels were unhappy with their place or status in life. The Ethiopian cannot change their skin and the leopard cannot change its stripes.
You are hot, mon. Good stuff. I went through piles of conspiracy literature to my own dismay. But one reason it works is that this document jibes with subsequent history. It is uncanny. I mean, Henry Ford bought into it!
With regard to prophecy, the whole so-called Jewish plan was to ultimately introduce the Jewish messiah. This begs prophecy scholars to think "AntiChrist" and the "Little Horn" of Daniel.
All 3 monotheist religions contain the "myth" of world conquest. Jews have to believe they will someday triumph over all competing religions and, because they have the only truth, will ultimately rule the world. Don't they? But how would they accomplish that with only about 12 million people and diminishing? Has Jewish influence not increased over the years? But I would just say, Well, God blesses them like He said He would.
The Rothschild empire virtually ruled world finance until at least World War 2 when they sort of slipped out of view. They helped found the State of Israel, an event that fulfills all kinds of biblical prophecy about them. But how could they win the endgame?
Could they actually pull off a secret global coup? That is the goal of Islam, too. I think the scriptures point to Jesus actually pulling off the final coup. But Islam is in it to win with at least a billion people. But how could the Jews win?
Falwell slipped up when he said he thought the Antichrist was a Jew. But would Jews accept anything other than a Jew as their Messiah?
He won't be a Hindu, or a Muslim, or even a Christian. They won't be allowed into an endtime restored temple. That is an exclusive, Jews-only club.
Thanks for the history lesson, I had not heard of the Protocols.... what a sheltered life I lead...
PS: don't leopards have spots?
You know if God's people, meaning those who are blood washed and have the faith of Jesus, are going to rule this world with Christ; then it would make sense that they would control and rule in places of commerce, industry and finance. That is what Jonathan David believes. That God is raising us up to take over in these areas, including medicine, science just like Joseph and Daniel. So the Paradigm shift is taking place or will take place as we rise in God and God bless the talents he placed with in people. The redeemed of the Lord will come to Zion with Singing. After all in the beginning he told man to subdue the earth. In the new heavens and new earth maybe we along with God redeem it from all the corruption that sin has caused both in Nature and in us? Neat huh?
Hamon calls what you are talking about "the day of the saints." I do believe there is a paradigm shift in the church, ongoing, that is like that. I also think that the emergents are bringing something important into that change, that has a lot of bearing on it. I don't believe the Palk-type of formula, that the meek inheriting the earth is a gradual takeover by the church. The church had that mantle in the Middle Ages and blew it bad. That one is going nowhere.
The work of the Spirit is still conversion (evangelism). Pointing the world to Jesus is our common goal. The modern age pulled the rug out from under us, making us so divisive we have become very weak and cranky in the eyes of the world we are called to reach.
The Kingdom is not of this world. This world will pass away. We are not conquering, like Constantine, or Alexander. We are armed with the revelation of Jesus Christ, and we are going to see a church emerge that will reveal that through love. If we learn to hate, like Islam, we may conquer territory, gain the world, but lose our soul.
