Conspiracy Theory (Part Eight)
Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)In this Conspiracy Theory series, the focus is on identifying factors that indicate we are in the end times, particularly through events in the United States and Western Europe, while global attention is on the Middle East. The conspiracy discussed is believed to be the end-time fulfillment of the conspiracy against God and His Anointed, as prophesied in Psalm 2. This conspiracy is unique because it is not a typical human conspiracy but one orchestrated by Satan, as evidenced by the immense scale of the operation described throughout the Bible. Satan's involvement is crucial because no human could lead such a vast and long-lasting conspiracy. He recruits and uses people who willingly participate, though they are unaware that Satan is their commander. These individuals are deceived and do not include true sons of God or many Christians, as even Christians retain elements of truth and faith, making them untrustworthy to Satan's cause. The participants in this conspiracy are primarily humanists who have rejected God, and even those with some religious life are part of organizations deeply tied to worldly power, such as the Catholic Church. Their motivation stems from a deep hatred of God and His laws, coupled with a desire for wealth and earthly power. This desire is cultivated in them long before they join the conspiracy, and once involved, they seek to increase their material wealth and power. These individuals are educated in universities where Satan's teachings have prevailed for centuries, leading them to reject spiritual concepts and believe they are superior to others. Their focus is worldwide, aiming to establish a new world order that they believe will benefit them personally. This Satan-driven power is centered in the Western world, with a significant Israelitish ethnicity, though it includes non-Israelites as well. Satan's preparations for the end time began around AD 1700, focusing on corrupting public institutions, particularly those related to education. Spiritual education was corrupted first, followed by secular education, to ensure that those born in our time would accept the current immorality and corrupt ethics as normal.
Conspiracy Theory
CGG Weekly by Richard T. RitenbaughAfter the September 11 terrorist attacks, various conspiracy theories emerged and spread across the Internet and into traditional media. Some theories implicate Big Oil, the Jews, the Illuminati, the Government, or other groups as the masterminds behind these events. Conspiracy theories also surround the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King, Jr., as well as America's involvement in numerous wars and national elections, including the one that elected George W. Bush. While some of these theories might hold elements of truth, the abundance of conflicting information makes it nearly impossible to reach definitive conclusions about them.
Conspiracy Theory (Part Five)
Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)Conspiracy theories are a major factor shaping many dynamics of the world. Most conspiracies are hidden and aimed at overthrowing a single leader and a small group of associates. However, this conspiracy is different; it is aimed at overthrowing an entire governmental, economic, educational, and social system. Its realities have been uncovered by researchers, partly because the conspirators are prideful and less careful about keeping their activities hidden. A major concern for them is whether citizens will accept what is underway, which has already accomplished many objectives and is larger and more purposeful than even believers in the conspiracy realize. Its objectives are audacious and seem like a fait accompli to many. The conspiracy fears a revolt, particularly from the American people, which is why efforts have been made to disarm them. With over 300 million privately held guns, American citizens are uniquely armed and empowered to revolt. The conspirators want to avoid confrontation until they are ready. This conspiracy differs from others in several ways. First, it is prophesied in God's word. Second, its sheer size is described in Scripture as involving many nations, kings, and rulers. Third, it is operated by many powerful leaders in government, business, religion, and academia, indicating leadership throughout the human infrastructure of many nations. These leaders are like a cancer, metastasizing throughout the body of many nations. Fourth, it is a tightly organized structure with a huge scope, planning a change to a new world order that will transform governance, business, labor, education, and religious operations worldwide, starting in the Western world. Fifth, it has a greatly gifted spiritual leader at its helm: Satan. Unlike most conspiracies, which are accomplished in a short period, elements of this conspiracy have been in preparation for centuries. References to this operation have been found in writings before the United States existed. The great seal of the United States states that this nation is the new order of the ages. The leadership of this group, under Satan's influence, shows two characteristics. First, they are not in a hurry to accomplish their goal, having no specific deadline. Second, they think in terms of family power rather than individual power, planning over generations of time. This approach is reflected in their economic base, which gives them much of their operating power and allows them to focus on long-term objectives without concern for day-to-day continuance.
