Times Done Changed

This is the end. Even as I write this portion of history, it comes at the end of history, as we know it. Bob Dylan wrote “The Times They Are A Changing”, and these days I sing this song to the same tune.

“The Times Done Changed”
By, Colonel O. W. Pepper with music by Bob Dylan

There is a fury in my soul that just will not cease
There is an anger in my mind cause there just ain’t no peace
I see the whole world, and it is going quite mad
I sit here each day, and I am growing quite sad

There is a battle outside, and it’s coming here soon
So I guess what we need is a new marching tune
Like the Battle Hymn sang to the enemy in blue
The Star Spangled Banner, it never will do
When the United States is divided in two
And it’s all over now my sweet baby blue

Our leaders have brought us again into war
And diverted our minds from what happened before
Iraq ain’t no sweat, so why all the fuss
The damned old Chinese have just conquered us

There is a battle outside, and it is coming here soon
So I guess what we need is a new marching tune
Like the Battle Hymn sang to the enemy in blue
The Star Spangled Banner, it never will do
When the United States is divided in two
And it’s all over now my sweet baby blue

It is time that we took us some kings and queens down
From the highest of places to beneath the ground
Hang all of them mothers right out in plain view
Do unto them others, before they do it to you

I wrote this song near the end of the Clinton years. He was embroiled in the Lewenski scandal, and it seems he started up a bombing session over Iraq, practically unprovoked. It looked like Clinton was trying to divert the news media from his impeachment, and a leave office a hero. I told a co-worker once, that he would be the last president we ever elect. Sure enough, the next election came and the authorities selected the winner; the voters had little to do with it, other than display the fact that this nation is divided in two. Our new fearless leader is a hawk, and seems to enjoy the role of Commander in Chief. The Lord moves in mysterious ways, and makes arrangements continuously.
Now Iraq is in our sights again; China has expressed support for the attack on Afghanistan, under the guise of the War on Terrorism. How they react to the next phase of this battle is open to speculation. My best guess is that China will be less vocal in their support. We are on the road to Armageddon, and there is no turning back. Iraq has been supportive of the terrorists, as they were tools of revenge for Sadam Hussein. When Clinton tried to assemble a coalition of allies for his later attack, there was very little support, and the effort fizzled. In his last days in office, there was a flurry of visits to communist regimes such as North Korea, China, and other European nations. Making China a favored trade nation was a sell out, nothing less. What we do not know is the scary part. China received technical advances with guidance system electronics that help their atomic warhead delivery systems. With the technology they received, China is able to send intercontinental ballistic missiles globally, with pinpoint accuracy. Thanks Bill!
In order to fulfill all prophesy, and bring Gods harvest about; it is necessary for the world to recognize what has already been fulfilled. As God’s messenger, my duty is to proclaim the fall of Babylon, from within the temple. Having done so, I can carry out the final mission of bringing unity to all who believe in the living God, for anything less than a true communion with the creator of this universe is idolatry. Therefore, I will begin with the simple message that Babylon has fallen. It fell dramatically on my own father’s birthday, September 11. The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center housed the merchants described in the 18th chapter of Revelations.
Here is where we stand today, at a point in history when time should be no more. We can bring about the total annihilation of this planet, or find a peaceful solution. The choice is simple, and so is the solution. Understanding and accepting the nature of my mission will allow progress towards recovery for this planet. The truth is often stranger than fiction, according to the cliche, and this truth is what I intend to present in The Book of Completion.
The prophesies of Daniel and Saint John the Divine may well have been written by the same person, in different times. The Book of Revelations describes these end times in a manner that parallels Daniel’s narration of his vision. To read it literally, and digest the imagery feeds our soul as if we had eaten the words. In the eighth through the eleventh verse of Revelations 10, John writes:
And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall in thy mouth be as sweet as honey. And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it up; and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey; and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
    This is a mystery to many; but it shows me that John understood he would be returning to this world to prophesy again. As it was, he wrote the Revelations in the twilight of his days. John was a fully realized soul even when he came as an apostle of Christ, and would be angelic in the end times. We entertain angels unaware, and angels entertain in the same fashion. The locusts with faces like men and the hair of women are angels, according to what John wrote in the ninth chapter of Revelations. I believe John knew he would be in that number (Number 9), when the saints come marching in. We all are here, and must remain, as this generation will not pass until all these things are fulfilled, according to Jesus, our Lord and Master. We are the last generation. Blessed are those that die in these days, is written in Revelations 14 (the chapter that so clearly describes the Hare Krishna Movement). We are presently at a point of fulfillment so near completion that everyone should read this passage carefully. Revelations 14:1-5
“And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having His father’s name written on their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as a voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb withersoever He goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.”
    Considering we are in the end times; it must be that a group of individuals united in a belief in God, would even write the name of God on their foreheads. So look around and list all of the religious organizations around the world that fit the list of requirements mentioned in this scripture. They also must be the firstfruits of God, so the religion must date back thousands of years, at least. ISKCON has that number of devoted members, plus a few.
    In the next few passages, the angel described has already fulfilled his mission. His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) translated the everlasting gospel when he published the Srimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavad-Gita As It Is. The Song of God is the translation of the title, Bhagavad-Gita. In the Hare Krishna temple, we sing songs written in Sanskrit; some of these date back 5,000 years, and some are more recent. These are truly the songs mentioned in Revelations 14 verse 3. In the entire world, nothing else comes close to this manifestation of the fulfillment of this prophecy, because when you sing these songs, you understand the relationship between God and His firstfruits. Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and revealed this to the world in that song.
His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada once said, “Jesus is our guru”. Jesus is the ultimate guru. He can deliver us from our sins even after His crucifixion, from His place at the right hand of the Father. A living spiritual master, or guru, can only accept the karmic responsibility of his disciples while on this earth, during his own lifetime. Therefore, all devotees of Prabhupada are servants of Sri Krsna and Jesus Christ, by proxy, thanks to His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Hari Bol! Revelations 14:6-7
“And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto all them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying in a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of water”.
    His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada flew all over this world doing exactly what this verse describes. He came to America, and brought us the everlasting gospel, that has outlived all forms of scripture known to mankind. The Sanskrit language was the original language of this planet, before the fall of the tower of Babylon, when we all spoke one tongue.
    In the next verse, another angel follows His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. The second angel announces that Babylon has fallen. This is now fulfilled in me, as we read: Revelations 14:8.
    “And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication”.
    Having completed this, we can all expect the next angel to fulfill the prophesy written in verses nine through twelve, which is described as rewarding to the saints, while quite destructive to those who persist in idolatry. This is the patience of the saints, according to Revelations 14 verses nine through twelve: Revelations 14:9-12
    “And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of his holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb; and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever: and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus”.
    What the next angel will say may be hard to swallow, but to those who are enjoying the message, it is quite satisfying. The key to this situation determines where you stand with God. It all depends on whether or not you are worshiping the beast and his image, or worshiping the creator of this universe, and living God. The difference is easy to recognize by using the commandments of God as a measure. By obeying the commandments, one falls into the better category, while the lifestyle and actions of the other reveal themselves in wicked ways. Each side has its own reward, and all men have the same choice to make: and that is whom do we serve God or the beast? This is definitely worthy of consideration because the stakes are so high, and you pay this price with your soul. Personally, I hope we all chose the same living God.
    The good news is that God is not as particular as one may believe, concerning what we call Him. When God appeared as the burning bush to Moses, He said, “I am that I am”. Krishna said about the same thing to Arjuna. ISKCON chants, “Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare”: We could also sing, “Praise God Praise God Oh God Oh God I’ll serve you Lord I’ll serve you Lord Oh Lord Oh Lord”, it’s the same meaning either way. Jesus said that no man comes unto the Father except through me. I believe that, but that does not mean a devotee on his way to heaven will run into Jesus and be sent to hell. No way, Jesus would point the way to the Father. Jesus even quoted David’s Psalm and said, “The Lord said unto my Lord, sit at my right hand, and I will make thy enemies a footstool”. Have you ever wondered what Lord said this unto which Lord? The next passage in the Book of Revelations 14 verse 13 through 20 describes the harvest. The next angel rides in on a white cloud, has a crown on his head, and is like unto the Son of man. He will thrust his sickle into the earth when the angel of the temple calls on him to reap His harvest: Revelations 14: 13-16.
     And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them. And I looked and behold a white cloud, an upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of Man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap; for the time has come for thee to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
     This is the end of time, as we know it. This planet where man has the illusion that time is an endless commodity, comes to grip with the superior reality that it is finite, because; just as it had a beginning, it also must have an end. Here we have a clue that those who die in the Lord from now on will find rest from their labors, and their works follow them. This is good, because the finer things in life continue in this superior level of existence where time is immaterial. The Bhagavad-Gita confirms this, and here is where the patience of the saints pays off. The exact timing of these events coincides with the battle of Armageddon, the inevitable wrath of God, where blood flows to the height of the horse’s bridal, in a space of what some consider the Holy Land, (200 square miles).
This also coincides with the conclusion of the testimony of the two witnesses mentioned in Revelations 11, and comes three and a half days after they are shot. I volunteered for this detail over thirty-five years ago, and am ready begin this three and a half-year journey with my appointed sidekick, as soon as the Antichrist rears his ugly head. He is there in the revived Roman Empire we call the European Union. His Mark is the common currency; the Beast is the name of the computer that details all transactions of this electronic fund. The Mark is the only currency that does not have a coin or bill, but is legal tender just the same. The United Nations sponsors the New World Order, and our politicians have signed on to this cause. These who cry “Peace. Peace”, then sudden destruction falls on them. Peace in Israel in impossible without the messiah.
Before the fulfillment of these Revelations, and the harvest of the earth that is the Judgement Day, some prophecies remain unfulfilled. The one who sits on the cloud mentioned in this 14th chapter of Revelations, is made like unto the Son of Man. This leads to speculation that this could be either Jesus Christ or someone quite like Him. In Hebrews 7, a similar passage describes Melchezedek being made like unto the Son of God. As High Priest of the Order of Melchezedek, or the similitude of it, my intention is to show that Melchezedek is a manifestation of Krishna, the everlasting God in the form of a man. I am His High Priest, and have been for a long time, Hebrews 7:1-10.
For this Melchezedek, King of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings; and blessed him; To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is King of peace; Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils. And verily they that are the sons of Levi, who receive the office of priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: But he who’s descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. And without all contradiction, the less is blessed of the better. And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. And as I may so say, Levi also, who received tithes, paid tithes in Abraham. For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchezedek met him.
    This is the most profound passage in the Book of Hebrews. Even the Rev. Mathew Henry, a biblical scholar of the eighteenth century, was perplexed over who Melchezedek was. His best guess was that God intended this to be a mystery to people in that day and age, and expected it to remain so until a generation in the future. He also thought Melchezedek might be a type of Christ, if not even Christ himself, or perhaps one of the sons of Noah. The later would most likely be wrong, because he had no beginning, nor end of time. That leaves out being human, and narrows the prospects down to one made like Christ; which would be the Father, or the Holy Ghost, or perhaps an angel of the highest order.
Melchezedek was priest of the "Most High God", at the time of Abraham, and the common name of that most high God then was Krishna. Melchezedek would have to be the most God like human ever to rule over a kingdom on this planet. Who else could make that claim, except Krishna? According to Hebrews 7, Levi also paid tithes through Abraham, and that Melchezedek met him while he was yet in the loins of his father. This association could only have been during a previous life. All of the descendents of Abraham have had previous lives. The High Priest of the Order of Melchezedek supersedes the Levitical priesthood, and is their messiah.
Jesus fulfilled the prophecies of the Savior when He died on the cross, and arose again in three days. I have the task of carrying on the mission from the ground level, while Jesus and God tarry a little longer on the throne. The Holy Spirit is the connecting force that unites us. This body is my temple, and the Holy Spirit dwells within this living altar to God the Father. I have the mind of Christ, and the body of a man who lives to serve the Lord. We will finish the work laid out for us by the prophets.
This is the period of the great tribulation. We are at war on two fronts, one abroad, the other at home. The War on Terrorism is a significant responsibility the government of the United States of America has to grapple with as the utmost priority. The other war, the “War on Drugs”, continues on multiple fronts simultaneously. The police state mentality forced on society exists to groom them for total domination. The Federal Government is our effectual shepherd, by design. It is important for this entity to respect the individual and treat them properly. To intimidate them with force and cruelty is wrong and dividing. (Ezekiel 34)
