We whites need to do everything possible to protect ourselves against attack, and warn our fellow whites. I worked with a honorable young black man who cringed with embarrassment every time a crime was reported committed
by a "black male" -- so this thing is a tragedy for all good folks, black and white. The Old Testament Prophet Daniel accurately for-tells of the times and conditions we are in -- they are
NOT a matter of human politics and evil natures. Human players are being commanded by the iron in toes
(below). We are in the toes of Nebucanezzers statue, the iron are demons or fallen angles,
the clay are humans, and they are teamed up together against God. The passage shows the evil conditions we are in will
get worse. Bible teacher Chuck Missler expertly explains, this passage, Daniel 2:40-45 in
a video Book of Daniel part 1 of 2 Chuck Missler (1:36:00 - 2:00:00). Daniel chapter 2: (the toes section we are now in
I put in bold type) 1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar
dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him. 2 Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers,
and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king. 3 And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream,
and my spirit was troubled to know the dream. 4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream,
and we will shew the interpretation. 5
The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream,
with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill. 6 But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof,
ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof. 7 They answered again and said, Let the king tell his
servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it. 8 The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing
is gone from me. 9 But
if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words
to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation
thereof. 10 The Chaldeans
answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter: therefore there is
no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean. 11 And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and
there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh. |

12 For this cause the king was angry and
very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon. 13 And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel
and his fellows to be slain. 14
Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay
the wise men of Babylon: 15
He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing
known to Daniel. 16 Then
Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation. 17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing
known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions: 18 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his
fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. 19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the
God of heaven. 20 Daniel
answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: 21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth
kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: 22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth
what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. 23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and
hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter. 24 Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king
had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring
me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation. 25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I
have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation. |

26 The king answered and said to Daniel,
whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof? 27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said,
The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the
king; 28 But there is
a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy
dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these; 29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come
to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass. 30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for
any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and
that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart. 31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent,
stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. 32 This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs
of brass, 33 His legs
of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. 34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that
were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. 35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and
became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and
the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. 36 This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof
before the king. 37 Thou,
O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. 38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts
of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this
head of gold. 39 And after
thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the
earth. 40 And
the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that
breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. 41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part
of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the
iron mixed with miry clay. 42
And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. 43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry
clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed
with clay. 44
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom
shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. 45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was
cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold;
the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation
thereof sure. 46
Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation
and sweet odours unto him. 47
The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and
a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret. 48 Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and
made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon. 49 Then Daniel requested of the king, and he
set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.

The New Testament passage of Ephesians 6 shows our real battle is against the powerful
evil, demonic, fallen angel, RULERS, which are the iron in the ten toes above. Ephesians
6: 10 Finally, my
brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against
the wiles of the devil. 12 For
we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of
this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand
in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel
of peace; 16 Above all,
taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of
the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication
for all saints; King David was not only the greatest King of Israel, so
far, but was a genuine prophet. In Psalm 2 the "Kings" are the clay of Daniel 2 (humans) and the
Rulers are the iron of Daniel 2 (demons or fallen angels), same as the "Rulers" in Ephesians 6 above. They are making a determined effort to throw off God's rule. They will fail, of course, but will cause a lot
of trouble for this world and misery for its people as they try. The only escape is through
the Son, who is Jesus Christ. To "trust" is the Old Testament equivalent of the New
Testament "believe."
Psalm2: 1 Why do the heathen
rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 2
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. 5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. 6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. 7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost
parts of the earth for thy possession. 9 Thou
shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. 10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. 11 Serve the Lord
with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss
the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put
their trust in him. If you are not sure you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, see
my pages, They Came to Jesus and Jesus Gets a Visitor in the Night.
