Gary,
On the one hand, I respect your desire for direct revelation from the
heavens on such matters, in the form of angels or even God himself appearing, giving explicit
instructions, laying on hands for proper ordinations, and such. I too believe that such can
and will (and does) happen. And when it happens on the level you are talking
about, then what comes as a result will be far more glorious than what we have going right
now. No doubt about that. I look forward to such a time too.
Meanwhile, do we just sit back do nothing along these lines until
such time comes? Are we stepping beyond our bounds to presume to set forth to work toward
these ends now?
It is my strong belief that what we are doing now is not only
justified in the eyes of God, but that it should have happened long before this time.
Gregory Williams is saying that it did happen 2000 years ago by the early Christians, and he does
have some very interesting insights to give us from this perspective of his.
Indeed, it has been the Christians' lack of setting forth a godly
solution to the question of world government that has enabled the beast to gain ascendancy.
The Christians are more responsible for the success of the beast than those overtly promoting it,
because the Christians did not sufficiently oppose it, nor did they present a viable
alternative. This is the Christian rejection of Christ in our time that parallels the Jewish
rejection of Christ at the time of his first coming. The first shall be last, and the last
shall be first.
So again, I repeat what I have said before. Not only are we
justified in doing what we are doing, but it has been precisely the lack of doing this sooner that
has enable the beast to get above us.
Joseph did not get his answers until he went to the Lord with his
questions.
We are presenting the Lord our questions, and it is my faith that he
will answer us.
We do our part, he does his.
Those sitting on their duffs on this matter, waiting for him to
make the first move are going to be disappointed.

I have
observed the process and general directions , votes of the rssicc egroup and have concluded that
I do not fit in the structured premises of this organization. I believe in inspiration ,
consensus but having so few determining so early the course that God would have outlined
causes me problems .
Perhaps, that is my problem. Have you got together to define your opinion of what you think
government should be and so want to create your opinion, Then your organization is not God's
project. What vision of America do you have? Are the states still in existance. Do the
counties and city governments still exist? or as suggested riots and city verse city, state
verse state, family verse family run their course already.
Look
at what has started in Argentine yesterday with only 18% unemployment ..RIOTS- LOOTING--
Killing.. cast your eyes on 40% to 60% unemployment and think you can replace the current
government . The State and National government will be set in order but not by us substituting
our method of government.Already voted on and somehow forced on others because a few behind
closed doors decided it. Hold on to constitutional principles and out of the choas will
arise the order. In small Hamlets ( places of refuge) where in common consent and with devinely
called leaders physically appointed by God will the constitution be saved.
In the Church we collect donation of tithing to do the work of the Lord? Here you mandate
fees to sustain a few that choose to work fulltime at their passion. I worked 8 hours a night
doing Bible Codes for a year. I then worked 12 hours a day, 6 days a week all summer to bring in
a mine to benefit all mankind. I drove 735 miles a weekend for 5months to work an 8 hour shift
to the site and then paid for R.V. rental spot and assisted financially in helping those that
came to assist in the dig. At no time did I feel that others should fund this passion. The
treasure was its gift to the Lord.
I have several friends or persons who feel the spirit to write or put information out to the
general population according to the spirit. Those that freely give the material away seem to
have a greater message than those that calculate the cost that they must be reimburst. If they
say anything at all about money , it usually is ,let the spirit guide you in whether you would
like to give a donation to the cause. I personally feel inspired to work my mine that is a
prelude to bring in the Golden Ensign and the Relief MIne missions that are to assist in
the bring in of the Kingdom financially and temporally, and those that labor spiritually.
It
will not be designed by votes nor based on money collected but on the free will agency of those
that chose to get involved and those who God extends a call to. Those calls will not be made
solely on my personal desire but actual literal extentions from heaven, By the laying on of
hands from the other side of the vail to this side . I will not presume to know who is or isn't
called to the work but God will.
I find the work that is going on in your area interesting.... good HOMEWORK practice. Much like
building a house by voted consensus of the builders but lacking the devine guidance of
the future owner of the house. God has set certain limits and guidance on the future
structure of government . He has not revealed the complete order nor has he assigned by
vote his leaders. They will be called and set apart through his channel by direct appointment at
the time of setting in order. Joseph, who was called in this dispensation couldn't do it, having
the authority . How can man substitute for the lack of authority and do it, then expect God be
bound by their efforts?. Should He be not allowed to put it together his way?.
I understand that constitutional government will prevail in the Kingdom of God regardless of how
man attempts to design or to destroy it. It will be a Theocracy. A council of 50 called of God.
Not chosen of themselves. Not all Mormons or Protestants, or Catholics. But wise men saved and
called before this world was to this very calling. They will be a living Constitution with
Christ at their Head.The collapse of America is written and soon. The Establishment of the
Kingdom is soon and But it will be on God's terms . Shortly there will be another
Horrible event that will make the twin towers attack look like a sunday school picnic. This
event will start the fast decline of government and economics as we know them. Then look
for the start of his Kingdom.
I do not Know whether all of you or I are called to that work of establishing the
government of the Kingdom. But time will tell and God will reveal. But for now I need to
seperate from the direction of your labors as the shoe doesn't fit. Yours sincerely, Gary W.
