From Sinai To SCOTUS:  Killing America

By Dr. Jake Baker
April 28, 2026

It is hard to imagine that a prophet named Zechariah could have seen the Statue of Liberty twenty-five hundred years ago. 

“What!” you might ask.  “A prophet saw the Statue of Liberty?”  

In a word, yes.  And he also saw much more, including what the prophet called Wickedness that would capture the imaginings of the nation and lead a people into darkness.  But his prophetic vision of “Lady Liberty” and her part in all of this is beyond amazing in both its accuracy and in the visuals it creates. 

Zechariah’s vision was no vague description like a Nostradamus quatrain which can, if manipulated properly, fit a current event.  This is a very detailed and exacting vision of a lady on a pedestal, and she is, according to scripture, called “Wickedness.”  She represents evil, false gods, and depravity disguised as liberty. 

Let’s first examine the raw text from the New American Standard Bible found in Zechariah 5:5-12.

⁵ Then the angel who had been speaking with me went out and said to me, “Now raise your eyes and see what this is that is going forth.” ⁶ And I said, “What is it?” Then he said, “This is the ephah going forth.” Again, he said, “This is their appearance in all the land. ⁷ And behold, a lead cover was lifted up.” He continued, “And this is a woman sitting inside the ephah.” ⁸ Then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her into the middle of the ephah and threw the lead weight on its opening. ⁹ Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there two women were coming out with the wind in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of the stork, and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens. ¹⁰ So I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the ephah?” ¹¹ Then he said to me, “To build a temple for her in the land of Shinar; and when it is prepared, she will be set there on her own pedestal.

Now, let’s examine the picture. An angel says look and see what is happening.  And Zechariah asks, “What is it?”  And the angle says it is an ephah or basket or perhaps a shipping container.  And this will cover the entire land.

Next, Zechariah sees a basket with a lead cover being lifted up.  Obviously, lead is heavy, it stops anyone from discovering what is in the basket until it is revealed.  It is hidden, awaiting the time of its revelation. 

There is a woman inside the container, and the angel says this is Wickedness.  Notice that in the text that Wickedness is capitalized, which would indicate that this is not just a noun, but a proper noun.  It is not just wickedness, a descriptive adjective, but it is Wickedness personified, as in a specific person. 

And the angel throws a lead cover on the container’s opening.  And approaching through the air, or if you will out of nowhere, two women show up flying with the wings of a stork.  Now the wings are important because they are the wings of an unclean bird.  So, these women are unclean and they grab the container and raise it into the air.  Zechariah asks the angel where they are they taking this basket with the woman inside.

The angel responds, it is going to a place where they are building a temple for her in the land of Shinar and when the temple is prepared, she will sit there on her own pedestal.  There are a couple of important points in this text. 

First, they are going to Shinar.  Where is Shinar?  It is the land of Babylon.  But at this point in time, Babylon is long gone.  It is no longer the power of the region so it would make no sense to take it there.  So, this is a symbolic Shinar or perhaps a later, end time Shinar or, as spoken of in Revelation, an end time Babylon. 

Let’s stop and think.  Is there any country that has a large statue of a woman as the first thing people see when they come to one of its major cities?  It must be huge and sit on its own pedestal.  Remember too, that if it is named Wickedness and therefore it must stand against all that is Yahweh and seek to destroy His Law, His righteousness.   

Let’s examine a specific period in history where this symbology might have come into play.  We know from the book of Exodus that Yahweh’s ten commandments were written on two tablets of stone.  The first tablet contained the elements that governed our relationship with Yahweh and the second governed our relationship with the rest of mankind. 

What are these unclean women here to do? 

Perhaps they are here to attack the two tablets of the commandments of Yahweh that hold our relationship to Him and to each other.  That would indeed be Wickedness.  So, let’s see if we can find a documented period where Yahweh’s first tablet and, more specifically the first commandment, is directly attack by an unclean woman who would destroy the very foundation of Yahweh’s law in the country. 

The First Woman with Stork Wings

That search will take us to June 17, 1963, when the U.S. Supreme Court threw God out of our schools and in doing so, out of our land.  This Wickedness was Madalyn Murray O’Hair, the founder of the American Atheists.   She brought the case 374 U.S. 203, Murray v. Curlett  forward to the very liberal Supreme Court, led by Earl Warren.  After hearing the case, Justice Potter Stewart was the only judge who voted against the removal of prayer from schools.  The remaining eight ruled that “such exercises, even if voluntary, constitute government-sponsored religious activity, violating the Establishment Clause.”  This interpretation of our laws has been applied, albeit incorrectly, in our schools since that time. 

Madalyn Murray O’Hair, along with her son, Jon Garth Murray, and her granddaughter, Robin Murray O’Hair, were kidnapped and murdered in 1994.  Their bodies weren’t discovered until 2001 on a Texas ranch.

This ruling by the highest court in our country was a direct attack on the first commandment and the first of the two tablets of the law brought down from Mt. Sinai by Moses delivered from the hand of Yahweh Himself.  The attack was delivered at the hand of an unclean woman hiding behind Lady Liberty.  She hid behind the First Amendment to destroy it.

Over the many decades, Lady Liberty, also known as the goddess Columbia, has replaced real liberty with lawless chaos.  And what has perhaps gone unnoticed is the statue itself.  Having a statue of the goddess Columbia in New York Harbor is a direct attack on both the first and second commandments.

Obviously, Lady Liberty, the goddess Columbia, is a graven image which violates the second commandment.  But she is also another “god” with another law system strictly forbidden by scripture.

 The first commandment literally says:

I am Yahweh your Elohim (your  judge) you shall have no Elohim beside me. 

In other words, I am giving you a law system to guide you.  If you accept another law system, it is idolatry.  That idolatry is exactly what the Warren court codified in their decision.

And just like that, the court threw out the entire first tablet of the law containing the first four commandments governing our relationship to Yahweh.  The arrogance of the creation telling the Creator that He is no longer needed.  But that is not where it ends and is, in fact, barely the beginning. 

The Second Woman with Stork Wings

As you may recall, there were two women that delivered wickedness to the land of Shinar  –or – End Time Babylon.  She too helped deliver the woman who was Wickedness on the unclean wings of the stork.  I believe her purpose was to destroy the second tablet of the law which contains man’s relationship with humankind under Yahweh’s divine and eternal decree. 

January 22, 1973, was a typical gray winter’s day in Washington D.C.  The temperature was in the low forties with five mile an hour winds … but a storm was brewing.  This would not, however, be a weather event.  It would be a history changing, blood-soaked storm that would cost hundreds of millions of lives and poison the soul of a nation. 

Shortly after 10:00 AM eastern time, the U.S. Supreme Court began announcing its decisions on the merit case docket.  These were cases with full briefings and oral arguments that were presented by the attorneys representing the plaintiffs.

Then without fanfare, without any distinction fitting the weight of this seven-to-two decision, the court handed down its loathsome verdict on 410 U.S. 113, Roe v. Wade, with Judges William Rehnquist and Byron White being the dissenting votes. The case held that the Fourteenth Amendment’s right to privacy protected a pregnant woman’s “liberty” to choose to have an abortion and prohibited the states from banning abortions before “viability.”

The case had originated in Dallas, Texas, where the attorneys for Jane Roe (Norma McCorvey on left with above with her attorney, Gloria Allred) first filed the challenge.  Norma McCorvey died of heart failure in 2017 in Texas.  She worked in abortion clinics after the decision but later became a Christian and a very vocal anti-abortion activist. 

The Texas law that had been protecting life was struck down and the murder of the unborn became a “right” in the same sense that human sacrifice was a right in demonic pagan cultures.  Justice William O. Douglas, who was known for his strong progressive and libertarian views, found that imagined right hidden in the penumbras of the Constitution.   

Penumbras is an interesting word.  It means that something is hidden in the shadows, darkness or obscurities of the Constitution.  In other words, it is not there but we will use our dark imaginings to declare it is there unseen, lurking in obscurity in the deep, dark shadows of that document. 

Ironic, isn’t it, that our Constitution was written to guarantee the sentiments of the Declaration of Independence which highlighted as God-given rights, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  But how is life or liberty maintained if the Supreme Court had just issued a hunting license for every blood-lust butcher hiding behind medical credentials and a surgical mask, who for a few bucks would end a human life … a life that was ended by a Menglesque monster who, like any serial killer, had a conscience seared by demonic fire. 

Sadly, here in this country, more than sixty-five million lives have been terminated under that decision.  And around the world our savagery has been deported and has resulted in hundreds of millions of lives ended in the womb. 

Tragically, America has shed innocent blood, and the scripture makes a very clear description of the punishment for nations that shed innocent blood.  Even for Israel, Yahweh’s beloved nation, this is what Yahweh said was the fate of His own people when they crossed that line in 1 Kings 24:2-4:

²And the Lord sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by his servants the prophets.

³ Surely at the commandment of the Lord came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;

⁴ And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the Lord would not pardon.

Here’s the summation.  The second tablet of commandments governed our relationship with each other.  It is based on the sanctity of life, fidelity, honor, and love of humankind as a reflection of the Holy Spirit in us.  But all of that disappears when life is no longer sacred. 

If the right to life can’t be defended, how can anyone expect that real liberty, property, marriage, or even our own labor can be secured.  In that one act, the second tablet was destroyed and God, who creates all life, is called an imperfect liar because He said life was sacred; but the life of the unborn child, this human being, was according to the judges, unnecessary and superfluous to the world, to history, or the future.  It was only pregnancy flotsam to be removed like a dead limb and disposed of unceremoniously. 

And while these two women, who’s coming was prophesied in Zechariah 5 generally attacked the commandments, there have been subsequent court cases that have specifically annulled each of the other ten commandments.  Let’s begin by taking a look at those cases which openly declared the eternal law of Yahweh null and void.

The First Commandment: “You shall have no other gods before me” Exodus 20:3

1963 – Madalyn Murray O’Hair, in my opinion was the first woman prophesied by Zechariah with stork wings delivering the statue, brought a court case that removed God from the American educational system and subsequently from America, while annulling our relationship with Yahweh that was inscribed on the first tablet of stone and specifically annulling the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Madalyn Murray O’Hair and her dark victory in 1963 removed God from education.  When God was removed from education, what was left was only a godless education system.  It is plain to see where that has taken us. Look at the violence in our schools, the anti-Semitism in our colleges, and the liberal indoctrination taking place at every level.  We have become a faithless society, and we see the fruits of that embarkation into godless arrogance.  We are a nation in confusion, plagued by violence, financially bankrupt, morally vacuous, and spiritually lost.

The Second Commandment: “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image” Exodus 20:4

And in that moment, when we lifted the image of the goddess to the heights of the capital building, the dye was cast … we had already thrown out the second commandment and taken unto the nation, both the name Washington, D.C. and a graven image … a false god for our national symbol, towering over our nation’s capital and our legislators. 

The Third Commandment: “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.” Exodus 20:7

“Oyez, oyez, oyez: All persons having business before the Honorable, the Supreme Court of the United States, are admonished to draw near and give their attention, for the Court is now sitting. God save the United States and this honorable Court.”

This opening, these words at the Supreme Court take us back to the language of the old English dialectal.  The first call is for all to listen and to hear, the court is now in session and those who need to be heard should come and present their case because this court is honorable.  And then there is the plea that God save this honorable court. 

What started with the ten commandments and Moses with tablets in his hand would quickly devolve into secular thought.  How honorable was the United States Supreme Court then?  So, despite its proclaimed intent to be honorable, in just a few short years the Court revealed itself to be much more secular than sacred.  And by the 1930’s it had abandoned any trappings of sacred intent and had bowed to the secular.  Remember, we had just come out of the roaring 20’s, a time of moral and spiritual decadence.  That was followed by the great depression of the 30’s.  Such a familiar pattern of spiritual decline and economic judgment and finally war taking lives and destroying families. 

Let’s examine some of what was becoming modern thought at the court and around the country as the new Supreme Court building was constructed in the early 30’s.  These images were chosen to adorn the court as these friezes were added to the building’s design. 

The North Wall Frieze proceeds from right to left, starting with Philosophy:

Justinian (c. 483 – 565) Byzantine Emperor from 527 until his death. He ordered the codification of Roman Law and published Corpus Juris Civilis. Justinian (c. 483 – 565) Byzantine Emperor from 527 until his death. This work was instrumental in preserving Roman law and encompassed what has become known as the Justinian Code.

Muhammad (c. 570 – 632) The Prophet of Islam. He is depicted holding the Qur’an. The Qur’an provides the source of Islamic Law. Prophet Muhammad’s teachings explain and implement Qur’anic principles. But why would a Christian nation with a Christian Supreme Court honor Muhammad a blood thirsty killer who opposed anything but dictatorial Islamic law.

Charlemagne (c. 742 – 814) or Charles I (the Great). King of the Franks and Roman Emperor. Charlemagne was reportedly an avid student who became an eloquent speaker of several languages and supported learning and literature throughout his realm. Under his leadership, most of Western Europe was united by 804, becoming the foundation for the Holy Roman Empire. He was also a reformer of legal, judicial, and military systems.

King John (1166 – 1216) born John Lackland. King of England from 1199 until his death. His policies and taxation caused his barons to force him to have his seal affixed to the Magna Carta. This document, depicted in the frieze as a scrolled document in King John’s hand, is regarded as the foundation of constitutional liberty in England.

Louis IX (c. 1214 – 1270) King of France who was canonized as St. Louis in 1297. He led the 7th and 8th Crusades and created the first court of appeals known as the “Curia Regis” or “King’s Court.”

Hugo Grotius (1583 – 1645) or Huig de Groot. Dutch scholar, lawyer, and statesman. He is depicted holding De jure belli ac pacis (Concerning the Law of War and Peace), one of the first books on international law, which he wrote in 1625.

Sir William Blackstone (1723 – 1780) English law professor and jurist. He wrote Commentaries on the Law of England (1765 1769), which has had a major influence on English and American Law.

John Marshall (1755 – 1835) Fourth Chief Justice of the United States, from 1801 to 1835. His 1803 opinion in Marbury v. Madison stated that the Supreme Court of the United States had the authority to determine the constitutionality of a law, establishing the unconstitutional power of judicial review for the Court.

Napoleon (1769 – 1821) Emperor of France from 1804 to 1815. He ordered and directed the recodification of French Law into what became known as the Code Napoleon or Civil Code. Published in 1804, this code formed the basis for modern civil law. Napoleon, at St. Helena, is reported to have said, “My glory is not to have won forty battles; for Waterloo’s defeat will destroy the memory of as many victories.  But what nothing will destroy, what will live eternally, is my Civil Code.”

South Wall Courtroom Frieze: Weinman’s sculpture begins with Fame and moves from left to right. Included among the great lawgivers are allegorical figures whose names are included below the images in italics.

Menes (c. 3200 B.C.) First King of the first dynasty of ancient Egypt. He unified Upper and Lower Egypt under his rule and is one of the earliest recorded lawgivers. Menes is shown in the frieze holding the ankh, an Egyptian symbol for life.

Hammurabi (c. 1700s B.C.) King of Babylon credited with founding the Babylonian Empire. He is known for the Code of Hammurabi, one of the earliest known legal codes. The first stone of the Code depicts him receiving the law from the Babylonian Sun God.

Moses (c. 1300s B.C.) Prophet, lawgiver, and judge of the Israelites. Mosaic Law is based on the Torah, the first five books of the Old Testament. Moses is depicted in the frieze holding two overlapping tablets, written in Hebrew, representing the Ten Commandments. Partially visible from behind Moses’ beard are Commandments six through ten.

Solomon (c. 900s B.C.) King of Israel and renowned judge. His name, meaning “figure of the wise man,” has become synonymous with “judicial wisdom.” Lycurgus (c. 800 B.C.) Legislator of Sparta.

Lycurgus is credited with being one of the reformers of Sparta’s constitution. He left Sparta after convincing the Spartan leadership not to change his laws until he returned, but he never did.

Solon (c. 638 – 558 B.C.) Athenian lawgiver. He was appointed archon, an officer of state, and was charged with remodeling the Athenian constitution in 594 B.C. He was instrumental in codifying and reforming Athenian law, often revising the laws of Draco. His name has come to mean “a wise and skillful lawgiver.”

Draco (c. 600s B.C.) One of Solon’s legal predecessors in Athens. Around 620 B.C., he committed an Athenian code of laws to paper for the first time. His code included many strict penalties and death sentences, often for what seemed to be minor offenses. Thus, the word “draconian,” meaning harsh or cruel, is derived from his name.

Confucius (551 – 478 B.C.) Chinese philosopher whose teachings stressed harmony, learning, and virtue. Within 300 years of his death, the Chinese State adopted his teachings as the basis for government. Although officially abandoned by the Chinese government in 1912, Confucianism continues to have an influence throughout the world.

Octavian (63 B.C. – 14 A.D.) or Augustus. First Emperor of the Roman Empire. He brought widespread reforms to many facets of Roman life. He supported the concept of using previous opinions of leading jurists to aid in resolving new disputes.

Courtroom Doors: The oak doors leading into the courtroom feature engravings of tablets bearing Roman numerals I through V and VI through X. 

As we can see, the secular outnumbered the sacred dramatically.  Only a few of these depict the eternal and immutable law of Yahweh.  And alas, it took very little time for the court to become an elitist clique of arrogant magistrates whose self-importance dwarfed their sense of eternal duty. 

The Court had already codified slavery earlier in its history and would go on to codify the murder of the unborn, legalize pornography, hidden yet legalized theft, blasphemy, covetousness, and a violation of each of Yahweh’s eternal commands. The court, which invoked the name of God in its very existence and asked Him for blessing …  by their godless pronouncements would take His name in vain in hundreds of decisions that were not just arrogant opposition to eternal precepts, they were vaingloriously spitting in the face of almighty God. 

Fourth Commandment: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” Exodus 20:8

By the end of April 2020, a total of 35 states had either prohibited or severely limited in-person Christian gatherings to some extent using COVID-19 as an excuse, while only 15 states deemed churches as “essential” and exempted them from stay-at-home orders.

Three different times during the pandemic the United States Supreme Court stayed enforcement of limits on worship services.

As you might guess, among the numerus states which limited the ability for Christians to go to church, California stood out.  In Nevada, they severely restricted church attendance while allowing gambling casinos to stay open at full capacity. Even brothels in Nevada were allowed to stay open but churches were closed. Formication yes, gambling yes, God no!

Then came the court cases.  The first we’ll examine comes from California. 

South Bay United Pentecostal Church v. Newsom

What happened: California limited in-person church attendance during COVID-19.
Ruling From The Supreme Court: The Court allowed restrictions to stand.
Impact on Christian gatherings:
Church attendance was capped or prohibited indoors—one of the most direct modern restrictions on Christian worship gatherings in U.S. history.  It was a direct violation of the First Amendment and a direct affront to the Fourth Commandment – Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. But in California the god-state reigns supreme.

Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley v. Sisolak

What happened: Nevada allowed casinos to operate at higher capacity than churches.  Brothels stayed open for business.
Ruling From The Supreme Court: The Court declined to block the restrictions.
Impact:  Christian gatherings were limited more strictly than secular activities, which many recognized as unequal treatment under law.  This was clearly a violation of the First Amendment and once again a clear attack on the Fourth Commandment – keeping the Sabbath.  But under godless political leadership, Christianity is anathema. 

The Fifth Commandment: “Honor thy father and mother that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee”Exodus 20:12

This is, as we were all taught in Sunday school, the first commandment with a promise.  Honor parents because the family is sacred. Protect it, preserve it, and keep it safe.  And the promise is long life and blessings for individuals and nations that do so.  But in that promise, there is also a warning.  If honoring parents brings blessing, does it not stand to reason that not doing so removes blessings which leaves only the curse.  Remember Yahweh says: “I set before you life and blessing, death and cursing, choose life. 

Because all of us want long life and blessings for our lives and because it is, in fact, the fifth commandment with which we are dealing, we need to look at how the courts have reacted to this command of eternal law.  Have they stood with Heaven or embraced another law system that opposes the light of Heaven for the darkness of secularism?

Sadly, courts across the land have ruled that our children are the property of the state.  Children can seek sexual advice and have protected conduct including, abortions, “gender transitioning,” sexual mutilation, birth control, and other sexual activities while excluding parents from the decision-making process and bypassing many varied, historic, and biblical parental decision-making rights.

In Planned Parenthood v. Danforth, 428 U.S. 52 (1976), the court struck down a law requiring some parental consent, saying parents cannot necessarily have a veto even in dangerous behavior in their children’s lives.

Bellotti v. Baird, 443 U.S. 622 (1979) established the judicial bypass framework that a minor can seek court approval instead of parental consent.  Once again, parental rights were stolen by the courts. 

And while the Court gives lip service to parental rights, that same Court has allowed state involvement and even control when it comes to some vaguely defined understanding of child welfare. 

The state has also assumed power over education requirements, even though most of us understand that we no longer have education, we have indoctrination.  Frighteningly, even medical decisions including abortion cases involving minors are, under certain circumstances, controlled by the state and not the parents. Over the years, they have expanded states’ rights over parental rights involving child safety, health, mental wellbeing and most aspects of the lives of our children.  For further proof, look at the persecution of home schoolers, or Christians who are denied adoption services because the system is biased against people of faith who want to raise kids.

So much for the Fifth Commandment. 

The Sixth Commandment: “Thou Shalt Not Murder”Exodus 20:13

While the King James uses the word “kill,” the Hebrew word there is “rasah” which means to murder or shed innocent blood.  Obviously, we covered this earlier in the Roe v Wade decision where murder of the unborn was legalized.  We managed to cheapen human life to the cost of a few hundred dollars of violent medical perversion which we use to cover adultery, fornication, or selfish vain liberty that society calls a “right to choose.”  How low have we gone when we trade human life for social or economic convenience? 

At this time there are thirteen states that have laws allowing physician-assisted suicide or “medical aid in dying” for mentally competent individuals with terminal illnesses. But in states where such practices have been legalized it is becoming ever more popular to recommend assisted suicide even for healthy individuals who are elderly.

The Seventh Commandment: “Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery” Exodus 20:14

Hell has undoubtedly reserved a special place for Hugh Hefner, a pornographer who was arrested and tried in Chicago for his lude publishing in June of 1963. 

Here are a few of the key details of the trial:

• Cause of Arrest: The June 1963 issue of Playboy featured actress Jayne Mansfield nude, which authorities deemed “obscene literature”.
• Charges: Hefner was charged with publishing and circulating obscene literature.
• The Trial: The case went to trial, with Hefner appearing in court on June 25, 1963, in Chicago Illinois. 

• Outcome: On December 7, 1963, the jury was deadlocked, and a mistrial was declared.
• Significance: The case was a pivotal moment for Playboy, helping establish that the magazine’s content did not violate obscenity laws, strengthening Hefner’s position against critics of his “sexual freedom” philosophy. 

Once again, we see “sexual freedom” hiding behind the label of “liberty” and used as an excuse or cover for sin.  And this would have much wider implications than some torrid affair between two adults in a secret hideaway. 

This was a direct attack on eternal law, and by the court’s lack of conviction, it codified the annulment of the Seventh Commandment.  It legalized lust, opened a world of sexual indulgence to young and old alike.

 High school boys now had access to pornography to fuel their already overactive hormones, while married men could now lust after other women and justify it as “just porn.”  The sanctity of marriage was under attack, and sex became nothing more than biology devoid of moral constraints, spiritual understanding of a sexual union, or even historic norms. 

Lest it go unnoticed, the verdict, which in this case failed to convict, was rendered on December 7th, Pearl Harbor Day, which is somehow fitting as it torpedoed the Seventh Commandment. 

The Eighth Commandment: “Thou shalt not steal” Exodus 20:15

Socialist and dictatorial 32^nd President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, issued his treasonous gold confiscation Executive Order 6102 on April 5, 1933.  The order was later challenged in court, but the Supreme Court essentially upheld the order.

There were several key cases in protest of the order.

Norman v. Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co., 294 U, S, 240 (1935)

Nortz v. United States, 294 U.S. 317 (1935)

Perry v. United States, 294 U.S. 330 (1935)

Here’s what the Court decided:

By a narrow 5–4 rulings, the Court on February 18, 1933, largely upheld the government’s actions in stealing America’s gold. 

The total cost of the theft in today’s money approaches or exceeds $1 trillion.  And to top it all off, Roosevelt bought the gold at $20.67 per ounce and then reset the price to $35 per ounce shortly thereafter with the Gold Reserve Act of 1934.  A monumental theft in any age, and it directly confronted the Eighth Commandment: Thou shalt not steal.  FDR, of course, said that he was trying to help the country. 

NOTE TO THE READER:  Always run as fast and far as you can when you hear those seven words, “I’m from the government, I’m here to help.”

While the great gold confiscation was clearly a matter of national theft, what would follow thirty-eight years later under Richard Milhous Nixon, the 38^th U.S. President, would make what FDR did look like child’s play.

On August 15, 1971, Nixon ended the gold standard to which the dollar was tied. Nixon did this in breach of the Breton Woods Agreement signed by 44 allied nations across the globe on July 22, 1944.  In that compact all agreed that the U.S. dollar would become the reserve currency of the world and that it would be tied to strict standards for gold reserves – a dollars’ worth of gold for each U.S. dollar. 

But Nixon, a globalist, who foolishly brought China into the world economic system, chose to betray our commitment to 44 nations who were a part of the Bretton Woods Agreement, which at the same time opened the door to the financial destruction of the dollar, the US economy, and prophetically the destruction of the world’s economy in the future.  There is a lot of story to tell here, which drew us inexorably into the Middle East, but we’ll save that for another time.

Since that time, the dollar has lost 98 percent of its purchasing power.  That, of course, has purloined hundreds of trillions of dollars from savings accounts, retirement accounts, college funds, and it has put further pressure on families as financial strains forced women from the home and into the workplace just to make ends meet. 

While hundreds of trillions of dollars have disappeared from the hands of everyday Americans, it is important to remember that wealth never disappears, it just changes hands.  And if you follow the trail of the money, you will soon see that It has been the stolen wealth of ordinary Americans that has funded the rise of the globalists that are even now enslaving our entire planet. 

From FDR to Nixon to Congress, we have now run up a $38 trillion debt that cannot and will not ever be repaid. At some point in time, America will default on its debt.  We’ll call it a financial realignment or some other economic euphemism, but it will be a default.  Our debt service alone is $1 trillion per year and if interest rates rise just 2.5 percent, which becomes $2 trillion per year overnight. 

And to make it even more damming and criminal, we have saddled generations yet unborn with that debt which will, in all likelihood, rise by another $2 trillion this year.  History would remind us that we severed our political bonds with Mother England for several reasons but, taxation without representation was one of them, and that complaint was close to the top of the list. Yet in this country, we are taxing tomorrow’s generations with today’s debt – that is the ultimate taxation without representation. 

Once again, the courts spoke with their silence.  Many court cases were brought but neither lower courts nor the Supreme Court ruled against Nixon’s unlawful, unconstitutional suspension of the gold standard, despite our treaty obligation under the Bretton Woods Agreement. 

The Ninth Commandment: “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor” Exodus 20:16

In late 2016 and continuing into June 2017, a total of four FISA warrants were approved, many of which were signed by James Comey, despite the fact that they were knowingly false.  The courts had already rejected some of these as written, so Comey, the FBI and DOJ altered documents, testimonies, and falsified paperwork to get warrants from the FISA Court to illegally spy on Donald Trump. 

For their part, the FISA Court knew these documents had been altered from the original testimonies and documentation, yet ignoring the law, they accepted them anyway and granted warrants.  Still to date no judges have been impeached, FBI agents and James Comey who perpetrated this fraud are still free men. 

In total there were 74 felony charges leveled against Donald J. Trump, two impeachments and several civil lawsuits.  All of these were based on false evidence, altered documents, perjured testimony, hidden exculpatory evidence, accompanied by plain old lies.  Yet liberal courts accepted them at face value and criminals in black robes like Chief Judge James E. Boasberg in the D.C. court used these lies, perjured testimony, and falsified documents to manipulate a guilty verdict against Donald Trump.  In one case in New York, Trump was convicted of lying to lenders who were paid in full for their loans, when the court randomly decided that the Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property was worth several hundred million dollars less than its actual value. 

If they were able to use these false witnesses and fraudulent documents to persecute and prosecute Donald J. Trump, imagine what they can and have done to ordinary people like you and me.  I personally know several honorable men who have gone to jail for non-crimes because they have gotten too close to forbidden knowledge.  And while I disagree with her politically and morally, even Martha Steward was convicted of lying to the FBI about a crime that never happened. 

What does all of this tell you? We are living in a country that started as a God-fearing people.  These were a people who came here seeking a place to practice their Christian faith in freedom and in truth. Sadly, over the years the courts have dismantled every Christian principle that guided this nation to prosperity and greatness.

One must ask “Why?”  And the sad reality is that the courts have not only condoned but glorified the bearing of false witness against even a former and sitting president. 

The Tenth Commandment: “Thou shalt not covet”Exodus 20:17

On February 3, 1913, the Sixteenth Amendment was ratified by the United States. 

“The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.”

In reality, it was never legally ratified but that is another discussion for another day.  The ratification of this clearly unconstitutional amendment was confirmed by the Supreme Court as legal on January 24^, 1916.  It was, and continues to be, the law that has been used to control America and to institute covetousness as a policy of government. Let me explain.

Woodrow Wilson, America’s 28^th President, was an evil man and a cancer on the nation’s history.  He  used the 16^th Amendment to reshape the federal government and federal law.

Revenue Act of 1913:

• Reintroduced a federal income tax (the first permanent one after the Sixteenth Amendment)
• Set very low initial rates by modern standards (starting at 1% for lower incomes)
• Added graduated rates, making it explicitly progressive.

A progressive income tax is a violation of equal justice under law.  It punishes those who are productive and distributes cash to those chosen by the federal government to be winners in the vote buying scheme called social welfare.  This is covetousness – devising a legal means to take from someone that which is neither legally nor morally yours, by devising a law which grants you that power.  That is the very definition of covetousness. 

Two decades later, FDR would use the Sixteenth Amendment to justify the Social Security Act on August 14, 1935.  The name of this Act tells you all you need to know.  Social Security.  Social as in socialism. Security, because the government had the power to take your money and “use it wisely” so it would be there when you retired.  But through the years, your money earned less than 1% in actual growth. FDR would perpetrate many planks of the socialist manifesto during his term in office and often jailed those who opposed him. 

But it wouldn’t be until 1964 that we would see this federal covetousness rise to a whole new level.  On August 20, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Economic Opportunity Act was passed.  That act was followed the next few years by other federal giveaways and a removal of Social Security from its trust fund to the general budget through a sneaky accounting practice that made it look as if it was still in the trust. 

That in turn enabled Congress to buy Treasury bonds with the Social Security funds.  That little accounting trick then enabled spending those new funds coming into the treasury, as regular income.  It is a legal trick that was used to move funds to the general fund without violating the social security trust.  But the result was exactly the same.  They stole the funds and spent them.

Here is the outcome.  The courts answered in silence allowing the “general welfare” clause to cover these clearly unconstitutional acts of covetousness in violation of the Constitution and as a cudgel against the eternal law of Yahweh prohibiting this very act. 

Eternal law protects Yahweh’s creation, but when these laws were removed, the protections disappeared.  This Act, legalizing covetousness, led to our current loss of dollar buying power, our failing economy, and our $38 trillion debt, which will eventually lead to both our economic and political collapse which will in turn lead to our fall as a nation. 

In Conclusion: 

The U.S. courts have systematically annulled every one of the ten commandments and precisely fulfilled the prophecy of Zechariah chapter 5.  We have seen the destruction of the first and second tables in general, and the specific destruction of each of Yahweh’s ten commandments … His eternal law in our courts.  As a result, we will now have to deal with another eternal law.  It is the law of Deuteronomy 30:15-19

¹⁵ See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;

¹⁶ In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

¹⁷ But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;

¹⁸ I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land …

¹⁹ I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing:

Tragically, America, we have not just violated a few commandments, we have annulled them through acts of Congress, state and federal courts, as well as the U.S. Supreme Court.  Not one of the ten commandments has been left standing.  Not One!  And the warning is clear – from the shedding of innocent blood, where the Lord says he will not pardon that sin, to the violation of the other nine, including idolatry in multiple fashions.

Then there is institutional covetousness.  The Lord says He will destroy nations, which includes America, for the idolatry of our covetousness, which is the basis for our entire modern welfare system.  From other gods to murder to institutional covetousness, we, like Belshazzar in the book of Daniel, have been warned. 

Mene, mene, takel, upharsin – you have been numbered, weighed, and found wanting and will be destroyed. 

We should have learned from Yahweh’s judgment pronounced on His beloved Israel found in Deuteronomy 30:18-19:

 “I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land … I call heaven and earth to record this day against you.” 

When sin and corruption become law – righteousness becomes unlawful!

The question I am often asked is, “Does that apply to us?  We’re not Israel.” 

My response is this:  Israel was and is Yahweh’s chosen people and yet He carried out their judgment for their rebellion against His law.  In fact, in the case of King Manessa shedding innocent blood, Yahweh said he would personally destroy Israel for this hideous act. He will not forgive the shedding of innocent blood.

We friends have shed the innocent blood of 65 million babies.   And we are right to say we are not Israel – we are not the chosen people and do not hold that special place. 

Therefore, how much more does that judgment apply to us?
