CHANGING TIMES!

So I came back to SB summer of 2013 because of unfinished business. Story of my life </3....

This is a paper I wrote for my Black Studies class: "The Obama Phenomenon" with Madison during session A. I turned it in late and it's not my best work since I was really struggling with depression for most of the session, and I told my professor, --I'll share more about that later -has to do with all the spiritual warfare that was going on-- But thankfully I finished it after he extended my deadline and I got a B- in that class. So I praise God for that! =)

In addition to what I was learning in my class and the stuff I share in my paper below... I noticed the people in my class and where they sat: Jazmin and Aracely sat in front  (I met them through InterVarsity and are latinas), Taisonya, Briana Riley, Wowo and I think Alexis Wright was in the same class too and they sat in the back (I met them through BSU and are African American) and William Perschau was sitting in the middle and he's white (I met him through Cru last year when I signed up to be part of the With One Voice worship night). Why I noticed this was because these are all people that I knew on different levels yet the same level ... so when I walked into class I was always torn when it came to deciding where to sit. At first I sat in front with Jazmin and Aracely... I think that was just sticking to what became my comfort zone though that level was so unsatisfying... then I sat in the middle (a central zone I guess, not being on anyone side in attempt to be on everyone's side) then finally, and for the rest of the class I sat near the back, like a row or two in front of Tai and them. I just so longed for community it was just hard to initiate coz the hard part was changing how we interacted in the past... yeah and being vulnerable and showing my heart. But thankfully I got to hang out with Tai for a bit before she graduated and left....anyway back to the main story:

So the yeah before God had taught me a lot of things through prophecy  REAL Identity (God's "affirmative action" plan for Unity & Christ Supremacy. Dry bones [Jewish ancestry] among some whites, Latinos and people of African descent) and The Beast & The Big Boys (The upcoming New World Order & the identity of the Anti-Christ & his false prophet) andREVOLUTION (America's Real Identity. The devil's deception & Upcoming judgement) and lastly To Be Human Again (God's great plans for His people. His army.)... so yeah He was revealing to me the bigger picture of the time we're living in and the time we're quickly going into. And I got more confirmation through the classes I was taking that's why I wanna share my papers. This paper is about the new world order and the anti-christ who's among us already. And I'm sharing not to scare you but to prepare you,...  though times are changing our hope and security can be found in relationship with Jesus and abiding in love. So let's get ready!! =)

Changing Times

"But it is also tradition that times *must* and always do change, my friend." -Prince Akeem, Coming to America.

  

Is America a post-racial society? What is the significance of the "Obama phenomenon"? What is the future of this nation? Is it possible to end racism? What would it take to achieve this feat? What would it mean for the American people, especially for black community, and what impact would it make on the world? Could anything good come out of the history of slavery? Was there a greater purpose? This paper attempts to answer all these questions both objectively and subjectively with a focus on the significance of black activism (not just in the past but in the present), reformation, revolution and reconciliation. The black church plays a significant role in leading the revolution that would change the face of America and the world through advocacy and protest, music and the arts, and also through choosing non-violent resistance and opting to forgive and initiating reconciliation. My unique approach in itself is a protest to Western objectivist education. “Educational institutions, more often than not, reward ...safe conformity to the prevailing standards. Educational institutions are not widely known for encouraging boat rockers....” (Orr 231) “We are accustomed to seeing things the way we do. We’re not trained to care about how others see the world” (Deggans 231). I believe that if we want to make progress as a nation, if we want to see true and lasting change in the world we must not ignore the different approaches to solving problems; different approaches as a result of cultural and individual differences. We must have a holistic view of the problem and as well as the solutions. So in this paper I will use my cultural perspective as an African woman living in America, my spiritual perspective as a black female who loves Jesus using the Bible as a historic and prophetic book, as well as my perspective as a young college student who’s about to graduate.

 

To begin with, the United States of America is known to be a super-power and in the words of Professor Madison, “The U.S is the greatest empire in the history of the world. "In the Book of Daniel, Daniel is summoned by King Nebuchadnezzar to interpret this dream that he had about an ernomous statue: “The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay...” (Daniel 2: 32-35). Daniel went ahead and shared the interpretation he received from God, which was that each of the elements in the different parts of the statue represented a different kingdom that would rise and rule/greatly influence the world, as well as the characteristics of it’s subjects and rulers. In describing the last kingdom he said, “And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.” I believe that the fourth and last kingdom he saw was America, which fits Madison’s description of America as an empire. America is a mixed kingdom (multi-ethnic and multi-cultural) and though it is known as the “United States of America,” the disunity and inequalities that exist are obvious.

Madison went on to explain,"The U.S is the greatest empire in the history of the world. That’s why it takes great strides to protect it’s resources... We have aircraft carriers everywhere to “protect empire.” The president of the U.S. is the head of the empire... Obama can destroy the whole world with one phone call.” [Update 2014: In Madison's Civil Right's Class early thie Spring, he said: "The European Union is trying to put on a template like the U.S. they are trying but failing. The U.S. is the most powerful empire in the history of the world because we have something nobody else ever had => 'Global Reach.' We are the only nation in the planet that has dropped thermonuclear power on people... Our empire is laid on the foundation of race.] In the book of Daniel and also the book of Revelation, the ruler of the fourth and last kingdom is the person who is now known as "the anti-Christ" because he is prophesied to have a boastful mouth that will spew blasphemies against God and he will also wage war agaisnt the followers of Jesus Christ ... and really because the anti-christ would be against the Kingdom of God - which  is a form of government based on righteousness, justice, love, equality and freedom for all, under the leadership of Jesus (Yeshua) the Lion of Judah and the returning messiah. (Daniel 7 and Revelation 13) {Ok let's break... i know I may have lost many of you already. You can check out the post: "The Kingdoms" for an overview of the 2 kingdoms that are exist --the kingdom of the world and the kingdom of Heaven-- and  who the rulers are and how they role) So if we are in the fourth kingdom and America is the fourth kingdom before major change takes place (new world order vs. Kingdom of heaven on earth) then ruler of the fourth kingdom is the anti-christ. The "Obama phenomenon" has now gone to another level so let's take it down a notch...

Some people believe that America is a post-racial society since we now have a black president but that's not true because institution of racism still exists. Obama rose to power as he delivered a message of hope. His speeches always contained the theme of unity. He emphasized the common challenges faced by black and white people. But there are two sides of Obama: an inspirational message and deal-making (Obama’s Deal). Most people just focus on his message of hope and do not see his inner toughness. In the movie, "Dreams of Obama" we see that Obama emerged from unlikely circumstances. But he was a man that was on a fast track- > a two year plan to put him on the highest peak. He is charisma driven and his iconic image blinds us from the fact that he rose from machine-like politics. Obama is said to have “a velvet glove around a steel fist” since he is capable of bruising and soothing (Obama’s Deal). This is also a characteristic of the kingdom that Daniel saw, “As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.” (Daniel 2: 42) As Madison would say, “ Obama is a dangerous, nasty man” once he takes off his velvet glove and uses his steel fist. An example of a such an instance is in the “capturing” of Osama bin Laden. He told the nation it was an operation to capture him yet he really intended it to be an operation to kill bin Laden which he did. Daniel said, “Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others,” (Daniel 2:40) which demonstrates the effect of the president using his steel fist around the world to protect the U.S.A empire. The book of Revelation also describes the ruler of the fourth kingdom (the anti-christ) as having some of the same characteristics of the rulers of the empires that came before him:

• Leopard man: Chapter 13 says the beast looked like a leopard- So that's it's main feature, and also a characteristic of the 3rd kingdom. I decided to look up the topic of the leopard in the Topical Bible and I found this to be interesting... "The leopard is a beautiful animal, though very savage and cruel." This feeds into the whole double-sided nature of Obama and the characteristic of the anti-christ.  "It is just so with the leopard; and it can creep along too, as softly as a cat, and run up a tree after a monkey, as easily as a cat does after a bird. It lives mostly upon young antelopes and deer, and it often lies still a long time watching one till it comes near, and then springs out upon it". <- That especially caught my attention because that's one of things that Scar says in the "Be Prepared" song (post: The Beast and the big boys) And that also speaks into how Obama has evolved from when he was elected and not met many of the expectations of especially the younger generation of voters who were all for him. "The first election was one of promise... but we just voted for another president of the Imperialist United States of America." ~ Angela Davis. 
• Spots appeal: Another thing about the leopard: "beautifully spotted with a diversity of colors" and "It is found in Southern Asia and Africa." If you've read Obama's books or books about him you get to learn his background... how his mom is white and his dad, black and from Kenya, and how he lived in Hawaii with his grandparents... So yeah he has a diversity of identities and cultural perspectives and experiences which is so genius coz it feeds into this whole "Obama phenomenon" lots of people around the world routing for him since they feel like he can relate with them. And what a good candidate for the ruler who will usher in the new world order (aka anti-christ regime)... he's on his second term and so close to revealing his large iron teeth and "bear feet" -other characteristic of the beast... and his mouth of a lion -- well we've had a taste of that already, his swag, humor and charisma... but be prepared leopards sure are stealthy. So yeah so far, he's the man suited for the job (just like Geston was in The Beast and the Big boys post)
• New world order- So coz he's got spots appeal, he really does know how to play his game and work his magic to win the people's support. So he came in campaigning to tackle the healthcare system in America so Obamacare now's going to be introduced. Everyone's accesibility to healthcare is great, don't get me wrong - I'm not trying to hate on my own kind, I want to be a doctor and serve the underserved, I'm against capitalism... then where am I going with this... you see, the problems we are tackling right now are global problems and some of the solutions we coming up with are in essence what will make up the new world order <- and that doesn't sound so bad right? Well that is what introduces and spreads what the Bible warns us is "the mark of the beast"which no one will be allowed to buy or sell without it (get's rid of cash -> less paper as a solution to environmental issues and also for the government to keep track of you). In the Beast and the big boys post it was prophesied that the mark of the beast, the RFID chip will be introduced through Obamacare as a medical id then later will be required for everything else!
• In the Bible, when Daniel and later John were having visions about this 4th kingdom they were terrified and they mention that this empire is different from all the rest... So what makes it so different? The anti-christ gets his authority from the dragon (the devil) and leads people to worship him. K I wanna move on so you can check out this video for more info on what that RFID chip actually does and why it's so evil and exposes more lies (such as how this is a christian nation... most of the founding fathers were actually free masons and places like DC is filled with masonic symbols and certain masonic rituals that took place such as the 9/11 "terrorist attack" K let's move on...
• 

If this nation was built on the foundation of racism, what would it take to end racism? A

revolution would be necessary. “Change won’t come from the top. Change will come from a mobilized grassroots” (Dreams of Obama). "We learnt something about the people of this country... the time for rich white male to vote for other rich white males has come to an end. We need another party that is going to be antiracist and feminist."-Angela Davis. In the conclusion of his interpretation Daniel mentioned that, “In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever,” which I see as a revolution led by people who are oppressed. I believe that it is the black church that leads this revolution. Looking at American history, “The black church became the home base for revolution. Freedom and equality made up the central theme of the black church; and protest and action were the early marks of its uniqueness, as the black man fought for freedom” (Stewart,100). James Cone writes about “Black liberation theology,” as seeing God as concerned with the poor and the weak and that justice for the poor is at the very heart of the gospel (NPR). In reference to Daniel’s last statement, it is God, who has preferential option for the poor and the oppressed, who empowers the black church to take a stand against racism and other systems of injustice and inequalities in this nation, exposing such systems and advocating for change. “Any serious analysis of the African American church must consider how it has ingeniously equipped black people with spiritual and cultural survival skills along with developing a social philosophy of protest, which translates into movements for freedom and social change. Virtually every major movement for social freedom for African Americans has been influenced by the black church. From slavery to Jim Crow to Civil Rights, the black church had been a powerful source for social change in America.” (Stewart, 103)

In answer to the questions posed, “Could anything good come out of the history of slavery? Was there a greater purpose?” as much as it is hard to even try to explain black suffering, black theologists would say yes. The greater purpose was for the black people in America to lead this revolution that would change the fate of the world, similar to Bible stories of Moses who God called to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and a more relevant example would be the story of Joseph who was sold as a slave to Egypt by his own brothers then he got a small promotion but then was accused falsely and thrown into prison and then in one day, because his God-given gift to interpret dreams, he rose to power --in one day he went from being a prisoner to the second in command in Egypt and saved the whole of  Egypt from famine as well as His Israelite family. Joseph told his brothers who sold him into slavery, “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.” (Genesis 50:20) So by the black church protesting against systems of injustice, and working towards justice and equality, their efforts are infact favoring the preservation of the black community as well as everyone else’s and also shielding America from the wrath and judgements from God who is concerned with their suffering. “By evoking an awareness of God’s presence and power, African-Americans establish a context for communal history and empowerment through God’s revelation and a framework for shaping a trajectory of belief and praxis that ensures their long-term liberation and survival.” (black spirituality, p.81) Therefore, the black church believes that there is a purpose to everything, even their history of forced migration into America. “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’ (Acts 17: 24-28) (Related post: Colors of the Wind)

Moreover, not only does the black church lead the revolution through advocacy and protest, but also through music and the arts. In his book “Ethics for the new millenium,” the Dalai Lama talks about the necessity of a “spiritual revolution” (Dalai Lama 17) “Spiritual freedom is the infrastructure to social and political freedom. The soul must be freely inwardly to strike outwardly for positive change.” (Stewart 13) The main method through which the black community expresses spiritual freedom from the destructive forces of racism, is through music and the arts. Creativity becomes the means through freedom is fought for, achieved and spread. "We can transform our world by imagining it differently, dreaming it passionately via all our senses, and willing it into creation. As we think inspiring, positive, life-generating thoughts and embody these thoughts in every act we perform, we can gradually change the mood of our days, the habits of years, and the beliefs of a lifetime....Let's use art and imagination to discover how we feel and think and help us respond to the world. It is in nepantla that we write and make art, bearing witness to the attempt to achieve resolution and balance where they may be none in real life." (Gloria Anzaldua)

Furthermore, the black church leads the revolution that would change the face of America and the world not just through advocacy and protest, music and the arts, but also through choosing non-violent resistance and opting to forgive the white man who has oppressed black people for so long by supporting the institution of racism and modern day slavery: Mass Incarceration. “Freedom from hatred, self-destruction, and violence as a legitimate response to oppression is one of the greatest assets of African American spirituality.” (Stewart 110) Knowing that God is a God of Justice and as the people cry out for Justice God will hear and respond my bringing judgement on the land leads to a birth of compassion for the oppressors and can facilitate forgiveness as well as intercession (praying for the oppressor). It is through forgiveness and reconciliation that unity will be achieved. So in essense it is a RIGHTEOUS  REVOLUTION and WORSHIP MOVEMENT, a LOVE MOVEMENT led by the oppressed that will bring the Kingdom of Heaven down to earth.

Another factor that is imperative for unity to form is a common bond. That is why I believe that if the institution of racism as well as segregation (that is still prevalent even though the law was abolished) is going to end it needs to start with the church. Educational institutions, for example universities, offers information, resources and the space to learn about different people and cultures and to interact with them in the class setting as well as outside in different clubs and organizations, events or in the dorms and other living areas. However, as much as this is a great achievement, I think that the eradication of racism and segregation needs a deeper level of commitment and this level of commitment which is crucial, cannot be achieved unless there’s a bond that requires people to commit. I think that bond is the bond of faith. This then leads to another element, that is, the need for a “spiritual renewal” in the American church (Orr 59). Once the church embodies a multi-ethnic, racially reconciled community through the bond of Christ, it can then make an impact on the world. In the New Testament of the Bible, the early church is described as such a community in Acts 2: 42-47, “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer... All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need...They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” The early church was attracitve to the outsiders because of how they lived and loved each other even though they came from different ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds. A pastor of a church in California called Bethel posed this challenge for the church,"We have failed to realize that Jesus founded the women's liberation movement more than two thousand years ago. Isn't it high time His Church led the revolution?"

And here's an excerpt from "Letter from a Birmgham Jail" by MLK, "There was a time when the church was very powerful--in the time when the early Christians rejoiced at being deemed worthy to suffer for what they believed. In those days the church was not merely a thermometer that recorded the ideas and principles of popular opinion; it was a thermostat that transformed the mores of society. Whenever the early Christians entered a town, the people in power became disturbed and immediately sought to convict the Christians for being "disturbers of the peace" and "outside agitators."' But the Christians pressed on, in the conviction that they were "a colony of heaven," called to obey God rather than man. Small in number, they were big in commitment. They were too God-intoxicated to be "astronomically intimidated." By their effort and example they brought an end to such ancient evils as infanticide and gladiatorial contests. Things are different now. So often the contemporary church is a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. So often it is an archdefender of the status quo. Far from being disturbed by the presence of the church, the power structure of the average community is consoled by the church's silent--and often even vocal--sanction of things as they are."

And now to switch gears and focus on the present... if we really are in the fourth and last kingdom before a whole new era comes into play, “the end of the age” as some may call it, what are the markers that show the revolution that would happen in the transition period? Well there's lots of markers like the ones I've shared and from many other sectors such as climate change, economic collapse being predicted in the future, and many natural disasters that all point to the end of the age. But what of revolution? It would be best to observe the young people because they are the most hungry for change. In 1968 was declared "A Global Year of Student- Driven Change" and I believe that this school year 2013-2014 will also be declared a global year of student-driven change, the revolution that will change the world. And like I have argued, this revolution will be influenced by the church but by "church" I do not mean the building neither the institution as the instituition itself is also affected by the same ills that plague society... and I'm also not talking about religious folk... I am talking about a people who have tapped into their God-given identity and calling, believers in God's power, a generation of seekers of God's intervention and His reign on earth... a generation tapped into their DESTINY.

So yeah, let's zoom into the young people... and let's also zoom into the state of California. California has birthed many movements such as: The Black Panthers, The Hippie movement, and Christian movements such as: The Azusa Street Revival, Kathryn Kulman's healing ministry, The Jesus movement, The Catholic Renewal etc (California Generals website). Let us also zoom into Santa Barbara, "Santa Barbara is crucial for California and California is crucial for the world…"-Lou Engle, spiritual father to the Prayer Movement and founder of The Call (source: SB House of Prayer website) "UCSB is the center for the study of race in the West Coast if not the nation... There's no place better and stronger and more radical in the United States... The very institution that would be at the center of the study of race, the radical interrogation of race would be the place where you have most movements... I don't think its an accident that at the institution center of race you have black students making change. The students are more visionary and radical."- Robin D. G. Kelley (At The Mcc's Final event in the Race Matter Series in Winter 2014) So what does race have to do with it? And how does spirituality even fit into this conversation? Well, "Heaven" is believed to be a place where people of different ethnic groups and various cultural backgrounds dwell in complete unity. From the Biblical account it is described as a place where justice and freedom reigns. Full of perfect love, joy and peace. So in heaven there is no racism, sexism, ageism, and all those other -isms. There is no oppression at all. No sickness and no death. People live in harmony with the environment. There is education equality. There is no darkness at all. It may seem crazy to believe that such a concept can actually exist but that's what the students at UCSB have been calling forth (post: Calling Down Heaven).

In the 1970's Kathryn Kulman a famous miracle worker prophesied that one day a great awakening would come out of Santa Barbara and would spread to the whole world. In 2011 numerous people in various christian groups at UCSB and churches in Santa Barbara shared dreams and visions about a near revival coming to Santa Barbara. The school year that begun in 2012 has been marked by student activism in California and especially here at UCSB and the momentum picked up into the 2013-2014 school year. Last school year UCSB BSU issued forth a set of demands for institutional change with great results. Here's more info about that and the demands that have been met so far: BSU Demands Institutional Change, in the summer the Coalition of Justice SB was formed in response to the Trayvon Martin case verdict and they had various actions on campus, this year the Student Worker Coalition at UCSB achieved a great victory after putting on various worker's strikes.

The times are changing, the atmosphere is changing, work is being done, change is coming very soon. We will soon see the fruit of the hard labor of the year and for all of those who came before us. The Bible says that when reconciliation and unity happens within the church, the glory of God, which is doubted by many in the West, shall be made manifest. There is power in love. Solidarity breaks chains. It's time to seal the deal so let all the freedom fighters and prayer warriors, all the dreamers and believers, let us all come together and call forth the reign of heaven. Let us tap into our God-given weapons of spiritual warfare to destroy the very roots that uphold the institutions that we are fighting against, everything that hinders love. True Justice will come from above. But we are not powerless let us unlock the power within by releasing Praises to God, singing and dancing, expressing and affirming our existence and authority on this planet. Then watch and see God act on our behalf, surely the earth will shake, mountains shall be moved and a new song shall be heard throughout out the land. So let's rise up and SING A NEW SONG!

(Summary: So the point of sharing about the coming New World Order and the Anti-Christ prophesied about in the Bible is not to scare you but to show you that there is more going on than meets the eye so if we really want change we need to know what we are up against, we need to work together using all the tools to dismantle the empire that's why a spiritual revolution is not just a suggestion but it is unavoidable and mandatory. And if you want to see something that's never been done doesn't it make sense to do something you've never considered doing? Cool! Let's do this =)

REIGN IS COMING

"See, a King will reign in righteousness and rulers will rule with justice. Each one will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land.Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen. The fearful heart will know and understand, and the stammering tongue will be fluent and clear. No longer will the fool be called noble nor the scoundrel be highly respected. For fools speak folly, their hearts are bent on evil: They practice ungodliness and spread error concerning the Lord; the hungry they leave empty and from the thirsty they withhold water. Scoundrels use wicked methods, they make up evil schemes to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just. But the noble make noble plans, and by noble deeds they stand." (Isaiah 32: 1-8) (post: REAL Identity)
