This is
a trumpet call to action (in prayer and intercession) pertaining to the formal
and official worship of pagan gods by the majority of the peoples, lands,
Governments and even the Church of those lands and nations in the world.
------------------------------------------
This
is not just another subject for prayer; those who will take the time to read
the material will recognize that this is a battle of centuries, which will
determine the global course of events to unfold ahead of us.

On
March 25, 2004, the flame of the Olympic Games of Athens 2004 (Greece) will be
lit through an official pagan ceremony conducted by pagan priestesses, at the
same location of pagan temples where it was lit as early as 28 centuries ago,
through formal rituals invoking the (evil) spirits and gods of those temples.
Government officials and formal representatives of key nations of the globe
will be present to mark the significance of the event, and the formal
acceptance of those (evil) spirits and (false) gods.
If
the rituals are successful in officially invoking those demons, then our lands
will become spiritually desolate, even more than they presently are, because of
the Hellenistic spirit of humanism and human philosophy, which has prevailed
through the centuries. The formal worship of the ancient Greek gods through the
Olympic Games provides the spiritual environment at the highest levels of the
spiritual realm to darken the minds of people so that the Light of the Gospel
of Jesus Christ may not shine upon them for salvation. Instead, the worship of
those particular false gods supplies the spiritual platform for the Hellenistic
mindset to prevail over lands and peoples.
------------------------------------------
-- The flame of the Olympic Games
is dedicated to (the ancient Greek god) Zeus. It is ignited by pagan
priestesses, through an ancient ceremony with rituals, songs and dances, to
invoke the “spirit” to which the flame is dedicated.
-- Zeus is not merely an ancient
Greek myth. Zeus is presently the (spiritual) world-ruler (in the heavenly
realm) who keeps Europe and the western world blind to the Light of the Gospel
of Jesus Christ. His timeless identity is also the Biblical name by which
Daniel called him, “the Prince of Greece”. His New Testament name is given by
Jesus in the Revelation; contrary to popular (but misinformed) beliefs,
“Jezebel” is neither witchcraft, nor sexual immorality, but the New Testament
version of “the Prince of Greece” (this needs further explanation to be
understood through divine wisdom and revelation; for those interested, the key
is in Galatians 3:1, the very words of Jesus about Jezebel’s influence of the
church of Thyatira (Rev.2:20-26), and the words of Elijah on Mount Carmel: “until
when will you waver between two opinions?” (1 Kings 18:21)
-- The ritual that ignites the
flame is held at an altar where sacrifices were offered to Hera (wife of Zeus).
The altar is situated between the temples of Hera and Zeus in ancient Olympia,
Greece, where the Olympic Games started in 776 B.C. in honor of Zeus. Hera is
the ancient Greek version of the Biblical name “Queen of Heaven”, as Jeremiah
identified the name of the spirit worshipped in his time.
-- We are not against the Olympic
Games, as much as we are not against the World Cup, or, NBA; but no other
athletic event is dedicated to a god, and indeed through serious, religious,
pagan rituals, conducted by proper and official priestesses.
-- For the first time in the
history of the Olympics, the flame will be taken to all 5 continents of the
earth, even at a cost of 46 million euros, at a time that hunger continues to
claim lives of innocent children around the world, and education still needs
more buildings and materials to equip the younger generations for a better
future.
-- We believe that if the flame of
Zeus is officially accepted by the continents where it has not gone yet (e.g.
Africa), the Church of those continents will develop the same manifestations as
in the western world, thereby causing a veil to descend upon the minds of the
believers, and render them lukewarm and apathetic towards the Gospel.
-- To the best of my knowledge (I
may be misinformed here) the Olympic Games is the only global event which
elevates, and formally welcomes the combined powers of the Prince of Greece
(humanism and human philosophy) and the Queen of Heaven (worship of the occult
and the spiritual powers) to take honor, power and dominion over the nations of
the earth.
------------------------------------------
We
are entering a time when the state of the higher levels of the heavenly realm
will be affected in a massive way:
1) positively, if we respond to the Lord’s warning and
pray against the welcoming of the Prince of Greece by our nations; Jesus has
called His Church to be a Royal Priesthood, and we need to stand in our roles
as priests of our nations, in intercession and authority to withstand the evil
which is coming to claim more lives for eternal darkness.
2) negatively, if we sit back and apathetically watch the
flow of events unraveling before our eyes, through which Satan is gradually
working to prolong and increase further his false and illegal dominion over the
lives of millions of Europeans and other western civilization peoples and
lands.
------------------------------------------
We are not concerned about the
athletic aspect of the Olympic Games, but we want to see the athletics free
from all rituals and all spiritual influence attached to them.
I
personally do not have enough faith that the Lord will stop the rituals from
happening this year. But I have enough faith to believe that:
1) even though they will conduct the rituals, we can
still stop the spirits from responding and taking preeminence, through our
prayers to the Lord Jesus Christ (prayers of repentance for the sin of idolatry
and false gods’ worship).
2) if we promote a gradual and effective global campaign
against the ritualistic and spiritual aspects of the Olympic Games, we may
achieve in the long run their complete removal from the athletics; sport does
not need to be identified with evil – we need to pray for the redemption of
sport through the Blood of the Lamb of God.

Gatekeepers of Europe
During
the respective Convention held in Athens, Greece, last November, 2003, one of
the next steps which the Holy Spirit communicated to us was that we would
undertake a 10-month, 10-step approach towards defending our world against the
pollution of the Prince of Greece through the Olympic Games. I will not expound
further on the subject here, other than say that a major fasting and prayer
initiative on March 24-25 across Europe is in fact one of the key 10 steps.
For
those interested in more of those steps, January’s action was a visit in
ancient Olympia in order to uproot the source of the covenant with the evil
powers which gave rise to the Olympic Flame to a global event. That is in
relation to the first ever course of the flame from ancient Olympia to Berlin,
for the Games of 1936. That is when the ritual of the flame was instituted as
an integral part of the Olympic Games held in other countries.
February’s
action is a visit in Berlin, where we shall complete the breaking of the
covenant between the 2 nations, which gave rise to the power of Hitler to
destroy the world (this requires further explanation for those interested), and
to the Olympics to become a global event through which Zeus aims at receiving
honor and worship by all the major nations of the globe.

I
welcome feedback, additional information and the forwarding of this brief note
to people who understand what we are talking about. Not many do, but those who
do, let us make sure they are given the opportunity to seek the Lord about
further action.
May a spirit
of wisdom and revelation follow the reading of this material, that the eyes of
the heart may be enlightened to understand the spiritual significance of this
time, this season, and this project.
