PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE

Allegiance = Promised loyalty
To the flag = a symbol for USA
Of America = a UNION of people
To the Republic = sovereign man
For which it stands = government
One Nation = united states
Under God = beneath divine guidance
Indivisible = can NOT be separated
With Liberty = freedom to pursue
And Justice = entitled to fair laws
For All = afforded to each person
Regardless of race, religion, color, creed, or any other criteria, when Americans pledge their allegiance, their loyalty, their faith in a place, or a person, we relinquish our faith in God as the King of Kings. WHAT IF we switch our loyalty from the symbol of the flag, to the symbol of the cross? WHAT IF the citizens of America united all nations under God and pledged loyalty to Lord Jesus Christ, the name of God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost? A clear warning in REV 2:10 when John warns the church that any glory given to Babylon is glory that belongs to God. The USA may be the best Babylon in the world, but it is still a nation of people who have been giving glory to a party of people, not God. John describes a marriage between God and His people and they are to be loyal lovers of Yahweh, for their faith to remain in God alone. His bride, a New Jerusalem, a new metropolis of people who live together with a purpose of glorifying God. Oh Lord, let us be JUBILANT as we honor Your holy living Word:
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE CROSS
And to the community of people
For which it still stands
A NEW Metropolis, our Jerusalem
Under God
INDIVISIBLE
with freedom of all captives
by our Lord Jesus Christ - AMEN
Revelation 21:3 "and God himself will be be with them; he will wipe away every tear
from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning
nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away" The photo below was taken in 1919 and used by the Red Cross. Pain and sorrow is evident in the eyes of the refugee children. This collage was used to convey the message that through The Cross, someday all pain and suffering will be over. AMEN

LEGIONS OF FAITH

AWESOME - Then he Lord said "How long will these people reject Me? And how long will they not believe Me, with all the sign which I have performed among them? I will strike them with the pestilence and disinherit them, and I will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they." Numbers 13:13

Two STEPS from HELL

There is no soul, no heart, no truth, no king in a man who teeters on the brink of hell ~ without humility and submission ~ the false prince marches blind into eternal hell where hordes of angry demons, ghouls, and pride filled rogue presidents answer their call of war against mankind. "Then the Lord said to Moses: 'How long will these people reject Me? And how long will they not believe Me, with all the signs which I have performed among them?" Numbers 13:13 ~ Kings, Presidents, Authors, Musicians, and Clergy have all passed away ~ but the Lord is Lord of all, from the beginning without end. With the sound of glory blaring, those whose hearts are darkened by unbelief, Two Steps From Hell behead all false kings.

Enjoying terrific music while given a delightful experience~ a choice that allows my heart to soar without sore feet. Copy into browser and purrrrrr thru England, Scotland, and Germany.

FRONTLINE on PBS

Brooksley Born was born to give the people the truth. FRONTLINE delivered an eye popping expose' on the HOT TOPIC of our failing USA economy! If you lost money, value or hope as a result of the economic crisis that is yet to be admitted as worse than that of the great depression, then feed on the truth for 55 minutes and watch the PBS special produced by FRONTLINE entitled:
THE WARNING
A decade before our current financial crisis.

In 1998 as the Chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) , Brooksley Born was shut down by the Ayn Rand follower Greenspan during her plea to investigate and then regulate the common practice of huge financial institutions trading over-the-counter derivatives. She warned that the trading of unregulated financial contracts, such as credit default swaps, by the billions between banks, were open to fraud which put our USA economy at risk. It put American people at risk of losing jobs, homes, and values to support retirement. In 2009 Brooksley Born was given the Kennedy F Kennedy Profile in Courage Citation.
