Note
Several weeks ago a friend of mine sent me an email with a
link to a short film and said that “I HAD TO WATCH THIS FILM.” So, out
of curiosity, I clicked on the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JW6roFN7NAE
and watched it. The film blew me away. The first thing I did was to
start checking the facts presented in the film. I could find no errors.
The next thing I did was to contact the film maker, Pastor Carl Gallups.
As a result, Pastor Gallups graciously agreed to send me his script notes and
several still shots from the film and gave me permission to print them.
The following is the actual narrative from his film entitled Astounding
Revelation – God’s Judgment on America – Revealed! I highly recommend that everyone view this film.
The link once again is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JW6roFN7NAE. May God have mercy on us and may the people of America wake-up, repent and turn back to God!!! |
Astounding
Revelation – God’s Judgment on America – Revealed!
By Pastor Carl Gallups
God brought His first terrible judgment on His newly formed nation
of Israel - through the Assyrians - now known as modern day Arab people -
now overwhelmingly 
Muslim.
He brought His judgment on the Northern Kingdom of Israel with an incursion
into the land. The Assyrians caused astounding devastation upon Israel but
were not able to topple it. Not until Israel responded in pride and arrogance
and refused to turn back to God with its heart. Some time later God allowed
the Assyrians, Arab people, to overrun - devastate and carry off into captivity
the people of Israel. The 10 Tribes of the North were gone and lost.
In
Isaiah 9 we hear God’s strange words of judgment upon Israel... “The
Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel. And all the
people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, that say in the
pride and stoutness of heart, ‘The
bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycamores are
cut down, but we will change them into cedars.’” (Isaiah 9:8-10 KJV)
As
the rest of this chapter is read, it becomes apparent that this is clearly a
passage of JUDGMENT!
On
September 11, 2001 - America suffered its worst incursion onto its mainland by
an enemy. They were Arabs - Muslim terrorists. They did not succeed in toppling
the nation...but they set it on its heels...what happened next and what is
still happening - with most of America not even knowing or caring - is nothing
short of astounding and ominous!
The
8 harbingers of judgment pronounced on Israel - are identically pronounced on
the U.S.A. and have been acted out by our nation’s leaders...THEY ARE AS
FOLLOWS:
1. The Fallen Bricks
There has been no event that has touched the United States and the
world more indomitably than the attacks of September 11th, 2001. As the images
of the smoke, dust and death gorged the airwaves, the descriptions of devastation
penetrated every media source. Fire, smoke, dust, ashes.
The bricks of Ground Zero in Manhattan were reduced to ash, with little more
than dust and metal to recover.
2. We Will Build
In
A Joint Response of the Nation on the Senate floor in Washington, D.C., representing
the Congress and the nation and by authority as Majority Leader, Senator Tom
Daschle addressed the world. Recorded in the Federal Register, are the words of Senator Daschle for the Joint
Resolution of Condemnation for the attacks the morning of September 12th, 2001.
Listen to some of his words:
“Mr.
President...there is only the smallest measure of inspiration that can be taken
from this devastation. But there is a passage in the Bible, from Isaiah,
that I think speaks to all of us at times such as this: ‘The bricks have
fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone; the fig trees have been
felled, but we will replace them with cedars.’ That is what we will do. We
will rebuild and we will recover.”
HE
CHOSE GOD’S WORDS OF JUDGEMENT AS THE U.S. GOVERNMENTS WORDS TO ITS OWN PEOPLE!
3. Bigger and Better
And
then there is the arrogance of defiance. On the day of the 911 tragedy, Rudy Guiliani, the Mayor of New York City, punctuated the
resolve of the city. HE SAID - “We will rebuild: We’re going to come out of
this stronger than before, politically stronger, economically
stronger. The skyline will be made whole again.”
4. The Hewn Stone
“We
will rebuild with HEWN Stone” in other words - not with brick but with Granite
- quarried from the Earth.
The first stone to be used in the construction of the 1,176 ft. Freedom
Tower was hewn from New York granite and lowered by crane in a ceremony on
July 4, 2004. Governor George Pataki of New York presided:
“Today
is indeed, a momentous day. Today we take 20 tons of Adirondack granite - the
bedrock of our State - and place it as the foundation, the bedrock of a new
symbol of American strength and confidence. Today, we lay the cornerstone for a
new symbol of this city and this country and of our resolve in the face of
terror. Today we build the Freedom Tower.”
5. And Then There is a Spirit of
Defiance
“…And
I believe one of the first things we should commit to - with federal help that underscores
our nation’s purpose – is to rebuild the towers of the World Trade Center and
show the world we are not afraid - we are defiant.”
On the day the cornerstone was laid, then New York Governor, George Pataki again insisted:
“Today,
we, the heirs of that revolutionary spirit of defiance, lay this cornerstone.”
6. The Sycamore, The Buttonwood
“The Sycamore is cut down....” The Bible records
the sycamore tree as being a sign of judgment. It even says that in Egypt
the sycamore tree was struck down as a 
sign
of judgment. On September 11th, a freak event happened in the devastation:
a steel beam from the North Tower was hurled from the sky. As the Tower fell,
it [the beam] went through the air and struck down an object: it was a tree.
The
next day [when] the people returned to Ground Zero, they found a tree lying
on the ground, pierced by the beam from the fallen Tower. There, at Ground
Zero was a sycamore tree – struck down.
7. The Cedar, The
Arez
But
there is another sign of God’s impending judgment...the cedar tree or the Arez tree. “the sycamores are
fallen but we will put cedars in their place...”
Two
years after September 11th, a strange site was seen on Ground Zero. A crane was
lowering an object…the object was being lowered into a place where there had
been a hole in the ground. The object was being laid into the place where the
fallen sycamore tree had been struck down. It would have been natural to
replace the sycamore tree with a sycamore tree, but the object lowered into the
hole was an Arez tree, a conifer tree, the same as
the cedar of Lebanon.
8. Three Years to the Day
After the events of September 11th, the Democratic candidate for Vice
President was John Edwards. He was speaking in Washington D.C. at a gathering.
It was 
September
11th, 2004 - the third anniversary of the devastation. And since it was a
prayer breakfast he chose a Scripture
which he linked to the events of September 11th. These are HIS words on September
11th, 2004. Listen:
“Today,
on this day of remembrance and mourning, we have the Lord’s Word: ‘The bricks have fallen, but we will build - with dressed
stones: The sycamores have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their
place….’ Each time that bell tolls it calls us to a greater purpose. To never
forget: it calls us to always remember that when we walk together this day that
the cedars will rise and the stones will go up.”
DID
HE KNOW – THOSE WERE THE LORD’S WORDS OF JUDGMENT TO A NATION THAT IS ON THE
BRINK OF COLLAPSE BY THE LORD’S OWN HAND?
One Final Astounding Note
On
April 30th, 1789 - on that day, the government of the United States of America
- the House, the Senate and the President - all gathered in the nation’s first Capital
together, it was the Inauguration of George Washington. It was the nation’s
Dedication Day.
After
the address, Washington, and all the other officials, the Senators, the House
of Representatives, the Vice President, all left the place of Inauguration, traveled
on foot to a small church, a chapel. They went inside for two hours and they
prayed, they committed, they consecrated this nation into God’s hands. The
entire government was kneeling before God.
Where
was America’s ground of consecration? Where was
America dedicated to God? The first Inauguration did not take place in
Washington D.C. [Not] Washington at all - or Philadelphia. The first Capital of
the United States was New York City…declared so on September 13, 1788 by the
U.S. Constitutional Convention. In 1790 the Capitol was moved to Philadelphia. It
was in New York City where America began as a nation. It was there where the
nation was started – [it was there] that the warning of the judgment of God was
given.
America,
on the day of its birth as a nation, was dedicated to God at the corner of a
plot of land now known by a more ominous name...“Ground Zero.” Ground Zero is
the ‘mystery place’ of American history. It was right there at the corner of
Ground Zero that our nation’s first government prayed and it was there where
God spoke again...
What
happens next and probably soon - will depend upon whether America is willing
to repent and turn back to God.
