Ethnos vs Ethnos

The Lord said, “Ethnos vs Ethnos”

Mark 13:8 NKJV   For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows.

Nation:
NT:1484  ethnos (eth'-nos); probably from NT:1486; a race (as of the same habit), i.e. a tribe; specially, a foreign (non-Jewish) one (usually by implication, pagan): KJV - Gentile, heathen, nation, people.
Ethnos is the word we get ETHNIC from so tribe against tribe, as in what happened recently in Kenya; it was mostly tribal rivalries.

“ Old ethnic rivalries are not dead, and in many nations there are still unhealed old warring tribes who have not forgiven nor who know the LORD of Hosts.  So you will see much fighting between ethnicities.  But you will also see hostilities where those who have been oppressed will rise up due to long oppression and take back from those who conquered them, what they see as their rights.

If you want to see more peace, there must be more repentance for hatreds, and fear, pride and malice that has been carried out in the name of religion or “rights”.  In this nation, there will be antagonism unless you make RESTITUTION where it is due. This is only possible by the power of My Spirit !  So ask what your part is, what YOU can do to bring more LOVE to bear.  Avoid defensiveness, when people express their anger and frustration, and acknowledge their right to be upset, but also show love & kindness so they will embrace forgiveness. Repent for those who have hurt them.

Unless you lay down your sword against your brother, with the sword you will be consumed !
So on this “National Day of Prayer” I urge you to set your heart right for any wrong done to you, to repent for anger, bitterness, hatred and malice towards others. I assure you it will not be a waste of time, but will work towards MORE FIRE being released upon your nation to heal old wounds.  Let the enemy find NOTHING when he tests your heart towards your brethren.  Forgive any animosity shown you. Lay down your RIGHTS. I bought and paid for you with the blood of MY PRECIOUS SON.

I urge you also to pray for the children and YOUTH, and young adults of America for many of them, seeing all that is available to them feel HOPELESS about this nation. They see all the hypocrisy and greed, avarice, and perversion as normal.  It has left many feeling useless to believe the lies they have been taught through humanism.  BRING DOWN THAT STRONGHOLD !  FIGHT ON YOUR KNEES. 

GLORY is on it’s way if you will continue to repent for this nation, and not hold on to your PRIDE.  Repent for your leaders in the government and in the church !  Do not continue to see yourself as the only source to the nations, for there is but ONE Source, and that is the Most HIGH.   ASK FOR GLORY.  PRAY FOR MORE GLORY. PRAY FOR AN EXPLOSION OF GLORY!

The Lord began then to remind me of a show I’d seen on PBS about the race riots in Tulsa in 1921
www.itsabouttimebpp.com/Events_In_Our_Time/pdf/Tulsa_Oklahoma_Race_Riot_1921.pdf
You can go here to read about it.  Or  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_Race_Riot

Then another article I read about Native Americans
http://www.iwchildren.org/calif.htm

“People are taught to stereotype other people. Stereotyping is a learned form of classifying and labeling others based on inaccurate information or assumption rather than on factual knowledge.” 

From an article on racism…
It is not absent in the church of Jesus Christ. Otherwise why would we have “black churches” and “White churches”? Fear is often behind such things and PRIDE.
There are other kinds of prejudice, i.e. Rich against poor which is prevalent. Intelligent vs those who are not so intelligent.  Healthy against the sick, thin who hate the fat. Let's learn NOT to assume. We must learn to love people with GOD’s LOVE, and love whom He loves. Hate what He hates such as the enemy’s strongholds over us, and not value our opinions which are assumptions not always based on facts.

Dr. Benjamin Waterhouse introduced vaccination to the United States in 1800. Due to contamination and lack of preservation, the vaccines were often infected with bacteria, which sometimes resulted in sickness or death. An article in the New York Times for June 19th, 1880, stated,

“A former surgeon of an immigrant steamer informs me that it is the usual custom of steamship surgeons to get a large supply of vaccine virus at one time, and use it until it is gone, however long. This will serve to account for the serious and fatal cases of septic poisoning following Vaccination, so common in the United States, according to the information communicated by correspondents, and also for the various efforts now being made in several States to get the Vaccination Laws abolished.” 

How effective was vaccination?:
...Not only had poor sanitation and nutrition lain the foundation for disease, it was also compulsory smallpox vaccination campaigns in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that played a major role in decimating the populations of: Japan (48,000 deaths), England and Wales (44,840 deaths, after 97 percent of the population had been vaccinated), Scotland, Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland, Holland, Italy, India (3 million -- all vaccinated), Australia, Germany (124,000 deaths), Prussia (69,000 deaths -- all re-vaccinated), and the Philippines. The epidemics ended in cities where smallpox vaccinations were either discontinued, or never begun, and after sanitary reforms were instituted (Smallpox Vaccination).
Some have stated on Oprah's show years ago that AIDS entered Africa via vaccinations. I don't know the truth of that, but given our history...
