From a presentation by Jeff Pippenger

In our last study we traced a brief overview of the history of Paganism from the time of Nimrod on down to our present day. The power that began in the time of Nimrod to confront and resist God’s people and His truth, we call the Dragon force in Revelation 16. It continued to oppose God’s truth and God’s people until 508; and this is part of prophetic history that has been recorded in the book of Daniel. In 508, when the pagan powers of Europe began to work to put the Papacy on the throne of the earth by removing the three horns of Daniel 7, at which point in 538, the 1260 years of Papal rule began. Then have two powers that are prophetically destined to resist God and His People.

The secret societies in history, the mystery religions, developed a belief in the power of money and came to the conclusion that if they could control the wealth of the world, they could control the world.

In the flow of history, the mystery religion that was represented through the Knights Templar, is brought down by the king of France and the pope of Rome and eventually a few centuries later, this mystery religion surfaces again in France and it is the very influence and the behind-the-scenes power that brings the deadly wound to the Papacy in 1798.

During the time of the French Revolution, which was brought about through the philosophy of atheism, we see the third power that steps in to oppose God’s people rising into prominence in the world in the United States which in our time is to fulfill the role of the false prophet.

The history of the Pagan and Papal confrontation continues down to our present time, where we see the New Age type religion, as we label it today, and the One World bankers attempting to bring in a One World Government. History clearly indicates that they were the ones that financed the Bolshevik Revolution which is part of the story of Daniel 11:40-45 because we see in verse 40 the King of the South begins with France and then ultimately it moves its location to Russia and Russia grows into the Soviet Union.

We see this struggle between this philosophy of Atheism, which was financed and put in place by the Pagan forces, the mystery religions, the world bankers, and in 1989 we see this second power, Papalism, in alliance with the third power of the United States in bringing the demise of the Soviet Union, the prominent world power that possessed the characteristics of atheistic communism.

In our study of Daniel 11:40-45, we see the King of the South eliminated in verse 40 and he never comes back into the story of that prophecy. In reality he’s destined to appear in a sense because when we look more closely at his continued history we see him specifically addressed in Revelation 17 when this 10 king confederacy is destined to rule the world through one kingdom for one hour with the Beast of Catholicism. So we see that even though the Soviet Union is identified in verse 40 of Daniel 11 as the king of the South that’s swept away, it will still have an influence in the world to the very end. It’s destined to set up a one world government and when we looked at Revelation 17, we saw that these ten kings are going to set up a One World government. The political apparatus that they use in that one world government is the United Nations and we saw how the United Nations has the world divided up into 10 districts.

We looked briefly at the book ‘Tragedy and Hope’, written by Jesuit author Carol Quigly. It was an inside view of these men and these powers that are attempting to bring in this One World government from the perspective of one that believes that it’s the best thing to happen. Bill Clinton praised this author, who was one of his teachers in his Jesuit University, Georgetown when he was there. He praised him because he’s the one that taught Bill Clinton his world view and it’s clear if you’ve watched what Clinton did as president, he was very open, aggressively working with those who believe the best form of society for the world at large would be a one world government.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989, the world has suddenly been confronted with the very real possibility of the United Nations moving in to set up a truly one world government. We’re being over and over bombarded through the media about the pros, the good points of this. We see one of the Media giants, Ted Turner, recently donating 1 billion dollars to the United Nations. Afterwards some financial analyst demonstrated that he made money by doing this, it wasn’t truly an offering, it had benefits across the line where he made money. But nonetheless, he continued to promote the United Nations before the world so they can better prepare us.

Here’s an article about the United Nations and at the bottom of a picture of a meeting in the Untied Nations, it says, "At work, Nobody said imposing a one world government would be easy!"

It’s common understanding even in the secular world today that we are moving towards a One World Government. Here’s an article discussing the different roles the United Nations and the United States has played in bringing about a One World Government and the pros and cons of it.

This is from US News and World Report Dec. 16, 1996, just speaking about the United Nations: "With the Soviet veto muted by the end of the cold war, Washington has been more successful than ever in using the UN as a tool of American diplomacy. Examine almost any major initiative containing rogue states like Libya and Iraq promoting free trade, curbing nuclear weapon proliferation, cultivating democracy in troubled states from Haiti to Mozambique, and the UN is central to the strategy.

"Internationalizing its foreign policy through the UN costs the United States about 2 billion in physical year 1996, comparable to the annualized cost of a single aircraft carrier battle group. And as Washington ambassador to United Nations, Madeline Albright likes to point out; "the UN is a force multiplier. When the United States intervenes alone, we pay all the costs and run all the risks, when the UN acts, we pay 1/4^th of the cost and the others provide the vast majority of troops," she says, a proponent of what she calls, "assertive multi-lateralism", Albright will soon be advocating these views from her new post as secretary of state."

The benefits of the United Nations are promoted constantly before us. We see here an article about land that Bill Clinton has gobbled up from the sovereignty of state, set aside; and its clear that the politicians of this country are well prepared to move in to the time when the United States has been prophesied as telling the whole world to set up an image to the Beast, which by definition demands that there’s a one world government.

If you haven’t noticed in the Spirit of Prophecy how often and how seriously Sister White talks about the secret societies, and some of the characteristics she associates with that issue, it’s clear that the Spirit of Prophecy speaks to these issues. When Sister White speaks to these issues, over and over again she refers to a passage found in Isaiah 8. We’d like to start with this passage right now, verse 9:

9 Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. 10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. 11 For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, 12 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.

Over and over again when Sister White’s talking about spiritualism, the dragon power at the end of the world, she’ll refer to this confederacy here that Isaiah speaks about. This confederacy is none other than this 10 King Confederacy that we find in Revelation 17, that’s going to rule the world one hour with the Beast. But as Sister White uses this passage of Isaiah as one of the keys to bring this information together, she lists certain characteristics about what this confederacy is made up of.

Now, confederacy is one of the characteristics of the Pagan force. The New Agers and spiritualists will tell you that before the flood, the world was ruled from the mystical Atlantis that dropped into the ocean. But when Atlantis ruled the world, before the time of the flood, supposedly, the New Agers tell us, that it had the then known world divided up into ten districts that it ruled the world from.

Paganism takes its history to this ten-fold confederacy all the way back to mythically, before the flood, and the first primary time we see Paganism as a kingdom illustrated in Bible prophecy, we see Pagan Rome disintegrate into the ten kingdoms. Then as we approach the end of the world, we once again see this ten-fold confederacy. In the presentation we did on Revelation 17 we refer to a passage in the Spirit of Prophecy where Sister White says the key rulers and governors of this world are represented by the dragon. And she clearly identifies these 10 kings of Revelation 17 as none other than the dragon power, spiritualism.

Now we want to look at some of the passages in the Spirit of Prophecy where Sister White identifies this confederacy, this group and look at the characteristics noted. We will see that the Spirit of Prophecy confirms that one of the characteristics of the secret societies is this amassing of wealth in order to control the many by the few, also she addresses the philosophy that guides and directs them.

Manuscript Releases. vol. 14 151-153:

"The third angel's message increases in importance as we near the close of this earth's history. Since the beginning of the proclamation of the first angel's message, many believers have fallen asleep in Jesus. Faithful standard-bearers have laid off their armor, But the work advances. Fresh workers are brought in as those who fall are laid away to rest until the coming of the Lord.

"God has presented to me the dangers that are threatening those who have been given the sacred work of proclaiming the third angel's message. They are to remember that this message is of the utmost consequence to the whole world. They need to search the Scriptures diligently, that they may learn how to guard against the mystery of iniquity, which plays so large a part in the closing scenes of this earth's history.

"There will be more and still more external parade by worldly powers. Under different symbols, God presented to John the wicked character and seductive influence of those who have been distinguished for their persecution of His people. The eighteenth chapter of Revelation speaks of mystic Babylon, fallen from her high estate to become a persecuting power. Those who keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus are the object of the wrath of this power. John writes:

"(Rev. 18:1-8. quoted). "This terrible picture, drawn by John to show how completely the powers of earth will give themselves over to evil, should show those who have received the truth how dangerous it is to link up with secret societies or to join themselves in any way with those who do not keep God's commandments.

"(Rev. 13:11-13. quoted.) Religious powers, allied to heaven by profession, and claiming to have the characteristics of a lamb, will show by their acts that they have the heart of a dragon, and that they are instigated and controlled by Satan. The time is coming when God's people will feel the hand of persecution because they keep holy the seventh day. Satan has caused the change of the Sabbath in the hope of carrying out his purpose for the defeat of God's plans. He seeks to make the commands of God of less force in the world than human laws.

"The man of sin, who thought to change times and laws, and who has always oppressed the people of God, will cause laws to be made enforcing the observance of the first day of the week. But God's people are to stand firm for Him, And the Lord will work in their behalf, showing plainly that He is the God of gods." Manuscript Releases. vol. 14 151-153."

SPIRITUALISM’S PHILOSOPHY

So Sister White says the danger that’s threatening the sacred work of the third angel’s message is wrapped in the mystery of iniquity and part of that mystery of iniquity has to do with these secret societies. When she speaks of secret societies, she is specific about what she means by that. Here’s one from Education, 227-228, which ties in some of the characteristics of these secret societies which we say fall in the realm of the dragon forces of spiritualism:

"Spiritualism asserts that men are unfallen demigods; that 'each mind will judge itself;' that 'true knowledge places men above all law; that 'all sins committed are innocent;' for 'whatever is, is right: and 'God doth not condemn: The basest of human beings it represents as in heaven, and highly exalted there. Thus it declares to all men. 'It matters not what you do; live as you please, heaven is your home.' Multitudes are thus led to believe that desire is the highest law, that license is liberty, and that man is accountable only to himself.

"With such teaching given at the very outset of life, when impulse is strongest, and the demand for self-restraint and purity is most urgent, where are the safeguards of virtue? What is to prevent the world from becoming a second Sodom? At the same time anarchy is seeking to sweep away all law, not only divine, but human. The centralizing of wealth and power; the vast combinations for the enriching of the few at the expense of the many; the combinations of the poorer classes for the defense of their interests and claims; the spirit of unrest, of riot and bloodshed; the world-wide dissemination of the same teachings that led to the French Revolution—all are tending to involve the whole world in a struggle similar to that which convulsed France." Education, 227-228.

So she here identifies spiritualism with the teachings that led to the French revolution and history teaches us that that’s where atheism comes in to our study of history but she also identifies the centralizing of wealth and power as one of the characteristics of spiritualism.

The philosophy that desire is what’s supposed to guide us is a characteristic of spiritualism. Here’s another passage identifying spiritualism, the dragon power, Patriarchs and Prophets. 123-124, and this one takes us symbolically right back to the tower of Babel:

"There are tower builders in our time. Infidels construct their theories from the supposed deductions of sciences, and reject the revealed word of God. They presume to pass sentence upon God's moral government; they despise His law and boast of the sufficiency of human reason."

When Paganism brought in atheism just prior to the French Revolution and brought about the French Revolution, from this point on the philosophy of atheism was in open battle with the philosophy of Catholicism. That point in history is called by some, ‘The Age of Reason’, the enlightenment, the time when the mind was set above the revealed Word of God. So when she’s mentioning here this tower building, boasting the sufficiency of human reason, that’s what she is referring to, that very time period. Continuing on:

"They, 'because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.' Ecclesiastes 8:11.

"In the professedly Christian world many turn away from the plain teachings of the Bible and build up a creed from human speculations and pleasing fables, and they point to their tower as a way to climb up to heaven. Men hang with admiration upon the lips of eloquence while it teaches that the transgressor shall not die, that salvation may be secured without obedience to the law of God. If the professed followers of Christ would accept God's standard, it would bring them into unity; but so long as human wisdom is exalted above His Holy Word, there will be divisions and dissension. The existing confusion of conflicting creeds and sects is fitly represented by the term 'Babylon: which prophecy (Revelation 14:8; 18:2) applies to the world-loving churches of the last days.

"Many seek to make a heaven for themselves by obtaining riches and power. They 'speak wickedly concerning oppression; they speak loftily' (Psalm 73:8), trampling upon human rights and disregarding divine authority. The proud may be for a time in great power, and may see success in all that they undertake; but in the end they will find only disappointment and wretchedness." Patriarchs and Prophets. 123-124.

So these characteristics of atheism, of the accumulation of power, of the accumulation of wealth, man’s reason above the revealed word of God, the tower building, all characteristics of spiritualism. Another one, Selected Messages, book 2.131:

"In the revelation of His righteous judgments, God will break up all these associations;"

She’s referring to a passage in Isaiah 8:9 and onward, this unholy association this unholy confederacy that takes place at the end of the world.

"In the revelation of His righteous judgments, God will break up all these associations; and when the judgment shall sit and the books be opened, there will be revealed the un-Christ-likeness of the whole confederacy. Those who choose to unite with these secret societies are paying homage to idols as senseless and as powerless to bless and save the soul as are the gods of the Hindus."

She’s just making a comparison there to their religious confidence with the idols of the Hindus and in reality it is the same worship as the Hindus, because no matter what name you put on the New Age movement or the Hindu religion or the Buddhist religion; it’s pantheism, it’s all spiritualism, it’s all the religions of the worship of Nimrod and his wife it goes back to the tower of Babel. Continuing on:

"Those who choose to unite with these secret societies are paying homage to idols as senseless and as powerless to bless and save the soul as are the gods of the Hindus.

"These societies offer some advantages which, from a human point of view appear like great blessings, but not so when judged by the Lord's measurement. Behind their apparent advantages are concealed satanic agencies. The larger the income drawn into the treasury, the more and deeper is the evil. The ungodly gain, which has enriched these societies will, when traced out in all its bearings, be seen to be a curse. The words which Eliphaz spoke to Job are true in respect to these associations; 'I saw him "taking root," but I "cursed his habitation"' (Job 5:3). They are Satan's traps, his net to entangle souls." Selected Messages, book 2.131.

These associations she’s speaking of, is this unholy confederacy in Isaiah and she ties it in with the secret societies, and with the gods of the Hindus, that’s the religion, with the large incomes that are amassed for their own power. Clearly Sister White is identifying this one world government power so obvious in the world today.

Another one is found in Review and Herald July 18. 1907:

"God has given me this message to bear to those who are out of line: 'Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. Take counsel together, and it shall come to naught; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid:

"In these last days, there are arising strange fallacies and man-made theories which God declares shall be broken in pieces. The spirit of covetousness has led men to seek worldly advantage, and by extravagance and display they have tried to hide their wicked deeds, which they have done in order to reach their object. Men occupying high positions of trust have revealed this unlawful desire for gain; they have practiced extortion and robbery, and have gratified the evil passions of their hearts, until our cities are corrupted through their wickedness. God has declared that he will uncover these works of deceit and robbery by their own working. In some cases the judgments of God have already fallen heavily on these cities."

This hiding is addressing the secret societies and the secret dealings that go on in the world banking systems. Here’s one from Testimonies, vol. 1, 297:

"I was directed to this scripture as especially applying to modern spiritualism: Colossians 2:8: 'Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.' Testimonies, vol. 1, 297.

The philosophy of modern spiritualism is both religious and political. The religious philosophy is spiritualism of course and pantheism; and the political philosophy is socialism. So Colossians 2:8 is telling us to beware of spiritualism and its twin sister socialism and beware of being corrupted through the rudiments of the world, and if you look up the word ‘rudiments’, it says:

Rudiments: a basic principle. Rudimentary: consisting in first principles, of a primitive kind. Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, 1988, 1029.

So we are to beware of the philosophy that came right out the very cradle of the world civilization. The philosophy, both political and religious that comes out of Babel; that’s the warning of this text! This philosophy that comes out of Babel, is none other than the philosophy of the dragon represented by the 10 kings of Revelation 16 and 17. It is the dragon power, one third of the three-fold make up of Modern Babylon.

Another one that helps identify the characteristics of the dragon is Evangelism, 617-618, here she quotes Isaiah 8:9-13, this is the passage that identifies this end time confederacy:

"The Lord declares through the prophet Isaiah: ' Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, -and ye shall be broken in pieces. Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should -not walk in the way of this people, saying, Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the Lord of hosts Himself; and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread.' Isaiah 8:9-13.

"There are those who question whether it is right for Christians to belong to the Free Masons and other secret societies. Let all such consider the scriptures just quoted. If we are Christians at all, we must be Christians everywhere, and must consider and heed the counsel given to make us Christians according to the standard of God's Word." Evangelism, 617-618.

Brothers and sisters, the history of the Masons and on back into the history of the Gnostics and Cabalists is the history of how Paganism continued to weave its way down through history and it’s well documented. We can see today the political arm of the dragon force already has the political arm of the United Nations in place. We’re already passing laws in the United Nations that supersede the sovereignty of different nations in virtually every aspect of our living, whether it be our banking or the environmental issues, or any issue we can address.

The political structure for this final one world government is already in place, and the politicians that are willing to promote and put it in place, are in line. In Revelation 16 where we see the dragon the beast and the false prophet, which have spirits that come out of their mouth leading the world to Armageddon, we’re suggesting that just as the political aspect of the dragon is fully in place, just waiting for a few more historical events before this one world government is implemented; at the same time the religious aspect of this dragon power is well about its business of bringing the world to Armageddon.

To give you just one illustration of this, we’re going to tell you a story about a myth in the American Indian history that has been well documented and is several hundred years old. This is a New Age prophecy, not simply an American Indian prophecy, but the ramifications of what’s going on in the fulfillment of this prophecy are alarming in the sense that the conclusion of this prophecy is very, very similar to the conclusions that the apparitions of Mary are bringing to the Catholic world.

The spirits guiding the dragon forces of the world, and no doubt there’s more people that would fall in the category of spiritualism in the world than there is in Catholicism, are leading them to the same place in history as the spirits guiding the Papal Beast of Revelation 16 through the apparitions of Mary.

Sister White says that the final movements will be rapid ones and before we look at this American Indian prophecy and consider it, last year (1996) there was a special on television that identified some of the supernatural manifestations that are occurring around the world and in one brief part of this secular program, they addressed an occurrence that took place in India in just a few days time. You have to call it a satanic miracle, there was no way to explain the phenomenon and it was genuinely established.

It took place in India and it got to the extent that they closed down the stock market in India, they shut down the government because they realized it was going on. It is important to note how quickly a miracle like this swept the world, because we need to understand that as we approach the end, miracles will not only be occurring, but they have the potential of bringing a great mass of people into agreement very quickly. We need to be aware that these end time things can come very quickly.

What happened was that several of the idol statues began drinking milk that was offered to them. Millions of people flocked to see the phenomenon. Video footage clearly shows milk held to the mouths of the idols being absorbed into the idol. The amount of milk was very large and repeated over and over. This could not be explained from natural causes.

Whatever the statues drinking milk is supposed to signify, I’m not sure but I am sure of this in 72 hours this event swept the word and it’s unexplainable by human standards. I know that the world at large is being conditioned right now for these manifestations.

The alarming thing about it is while the world is being conditioned by these things going on in the realm of spiritualism and New Age, most of us in Adventism aren’t even aware they are going on. At the same time the apparitions of Mary are conditioning the Catholic world for this same type of end-time scenario.

If you’re not familiar with the story of where the Peace Pipe came from, in the American Indian History, we’re going to tell you at this time; and I’m sure that if you’re a citizen of the United States that you’ve heard about the Peace Pipe.

The Peace Pipe is one of the highest relics of the worship of the American Indians and the story can be found in many of the Indian heritages of how they received the Peace Pipe, supposedly a gift from a holy lady that brought it to them. The story is about the ‘White Buffalo Lady’ and the Peace Pipe is the gift she brought to the American Indians.

Nineteen generations ago, (whether its 30 years or forty years, somewhere over 500 years ago) during a time of famine, two Indian braves were out hunting outside the camp when they met a beautiful maiden dressed in white and carrying a bundle. (Virtually every Indian tribe has this legend, and they all have similar, though not identical details.) As the two braves approached the maiden one of the braves had lustful thoughts about the maiden and she and he were covered by a cloud that disappeared shortly after, leaving the foolish brave as a pile of worms and bones. (When you read the different accounts of these two braves, they seem to be a symbol of the wise and foolish virgins? Does one accept the message of the return as sacred or unholy?)

The second brave spoke with the maiden, who asked to be taken into the camp to speak with the Chief. Her voice was as music. In the teepee of the chief she provided the chief with the bundle, the ‘peace pipe’, which was inside the bundle, and a prophecy.

I want to read a passage that describes what she says the peace pipe represents because I want you to understand that the religion of the American Indians is none other than the religion of the New Age. If you’re familiar at all with the premises of the New Age movement, you will hear their religion reflected in this story as the white buffalo lady describes what the peace pipe is meant to signify.

"After the mysterious woman said this, she took from the bundle a pipe and also a small round stone which she placed upon the ground. Holding the pipe up with its stem to the heavens she said, ‘With this sacred pipe you will walk upon the earth for the earth is your grandmother and mother and she is sacred. Every step that is taken upon her should be as a prayer.

The bowl of this pipe is of red stone; it is the earth. Carved in the stone and facing the center is a buffalo calf who represents all the four leggeds who live upon your mother. The stem of the pipe is of wood, which represents all the growth upon the earth. And these twelve feathers that hang from where the stem fits into the bowl are from the spotted eagle; they represent the eagle and all the wingeds of the air. All these people and all the things of the universe are joined to you who smoke the pipe. All send their voices to Wonka-Tonka the Great Spirit. When you pray with this pipe, you pray for and with everything.

The Wonkon woman then touched the foot of the pipe to the round stone which lay upon the ground saying with this pipe you will be bound to all your relatives, your grandfather and father; your grandmother and mother; this round rock; which is of the same red stone as the bowl of the pipe, your father Wonka Tonka has also given you. It represents the earth; your grandmother and mother where you will live and increase. All of this is sacred, so do not forget."

As she set forth the purpose of the peace pipe she described it as the way in which the Indians should pray, for in the smoke their prayers would ascend. (Counterfeit to the incense, and the prayers of the saints?) She described the different components of the pipe in clearly new age terms, referring to the red earthen bowl of the pipe as symbolic of "Mother and Grandmother Earth, which is Sacred;" the buffalo carving on the bowl was symbolic of all "the four-leggeds" on mother earth; the wooden stem is symbolic of plants on mother earth; the twelve feathers symbolized "the wingeds" of the earth; and she stated "all these peoples (four leggeds and wingeds) are joined to you who smoke the pipe. All send their voice to Wonka Tonka, the Great Spirit. When you pray with this pipe you pray for everything."

As she gives them this description of the peace pipe, she presets them with the peace pipe and the bundle it came in, as a gift, and then she reads a prophecy.

Then she left a prophecy, and you’ll find different variations, depending on which Indian tribe you get the prophecy from. But the prophecy is generally the same and when you hear the prophecy, you’ll realize that the peace pipe that we have understood as the peace pipe for years, really is not best identified as the peace pipe, it should be identifies as the ecumenical pipe.

The prophecy says that at the end of time this white buffalo lady would return. When she returns, there would be five years of increasing disasters and crisis, and at that time the American Indians which were alive at that time were to seek to come together with the other religions of the world and to strive to become one religion because the end of that five years of disasters, would be followed by a great era of peace. Now that’s a brief synopsis of the prophecy.

She said she would return to mark the beginning of these five years of troubles. During these five years the Indians were to seek to come into harmony and unity with the other religions of the world in spite of the great crisis. (In this sense the peace pipe. is more accurately the ecumenical pipe.) After leaving the gifts and the prophecy she left the tribe, and as she turned to say farewell she changed into a white buffalo. She then walked 200 yards and rolled over and changed into a black buffalo, then walked 200 yards and rolled over and changed into a red buffalo, then walked 200 yards and rolled over and changed into a yellow buffalo. (These colors symbolize the different tribes of mankind.)

The prophecy also said that when she returned, she would come back as a white buffalo. The prophecy also stated that the white female buffalo would be born to white people in the center of the United States. Now if you figure 19 generations and 30 years a generation, and I’m not sure how the American Indians calculate how many years in one of their generations, but even a 30 year generation, you’re well over 500 years ago that this prophecy took place which is well before any white people lived in the United States. So this is one characteristic of the prophecy which is worth considering. The prophecy also said that the father of the white buffalo calf would have to give his life for her.

In their religion they’ve been looking forward to this time for several hundred years and they have handed down this peace pipe from one holy man to another holy man until there is one holy man today that is supposedly the direct descendant of the first Indian holy man that kept this white buffalo’s gift of the peace pipe and they kept the bundle. The bundle and the peace pipe got separated about a hundred years ago at the battle of Wounded Knee and the bundle disappeared; the peace pipe remained with the holy man.

Recently at an auction in the southern United States another holy man, not the one that possesses the peace pipe, heard this bundle had turned up at an auction and he went down and he purchased this bundle and we’ll take you into the story as it has been unfolding in our day and age.

On August 20,1994. "Miracle." the white buffalo was born in Janesville, Wisconsin which is as the prophecy required, in the center of the United States. The interesting thing about this is this was a white family like the prophecy said, they raised buffaloes, but there have never been known a female white buffalo to ever be born. It’s a genetic impossibility according to any one who has done any research into the birth of buffaloes. They can have male white buffaloes born and the last time that they ever heard of a female white buffalo was several hundred years ago. So it was a genetic impossibility for this white buffalo to be born, it’s not albino if you are wondering.

There has only been a couple white buffalo known to be born this century, but both died at birth or shortly thereafter, both were male. The last reported female white buffalo was born 600 years ago and died in about 20 hours.

When Miracle was born to the Heider family in 1994, they knew nothing of these legends and were simply raising buffalo to sell as meat. As soon as she was born, the word got out and Indians from around North America began pilgrimages to the Heiders farm to say prayers and leave offerings attached to the fence around Miracles coral. The pilgrimages continue to this day bringing people from all faiths, from the entire globe!

The prophecy said there would be 5 years of increasing disasters. This buffalo was born in 1994. Now in 1990, the disasters in the United States reached an all time record for one year. That record was broken in 1991, and the disasters in 1992 broke the record in 1991. The disasters of 1993 exceeded 1992, and the disasters of 1994 exceeded 1993 and the disasters of 1995 exceeded 1994, and the same with 1996. (this was written in 1997) I don’t have the statistics yet but I have watched what has gone on this year and I am sure this will exceed the cost of 1996.

But it is clear that we are in a time period when the disasters are just accelerating in agreement with this prophecy, this buffalo was born in 1994 and it said the disasters would increase, and at this time the American Indians were to seek to come together with the other religions of the world in order to usher in an era of peace.

Now the prophecy said five years of increasing disasters, and if you take 1994 and add five years it comes to 1999, which is the ushering in of what the New Agers would call the Age of Aquarius. The year 2000, the New Age. So this prophecy not only comes at the right time but it comes with the birth of a female white buffalo which is a genetic impossibility.

Because it was an impossibility and the people who had this buffalo born to them knew nothing of the prophecy at that time, they intended to have a sperm sample and a blood sample taken on the bull buffalo to determine how this could happen.

Six days after the birth of Miracle, a medicine man (Floyd Hand) called the Heiders and told them that the legend stated that the father of Miracle must give his life for the calf, and also that he had a dream which identified that the bull would soon die, and in the dream he saw a black object in the bull’s abdomen. The medicine man counseled that if they wanted to get an analysis of the semen and blood, they should do it immediately for he would soon die. (They wanted the analysis to determine the genetics involved in the production of a white calf.) The Heiders knew nothing at this time of the legend and laughed off the weird telephone call, from a weird medicine man. Four days later the bull fell over dead. When an autopsy was performed they found the bull had suffered internal bleeding which formed a large blood clot in his abdomen. The blood clot had turned black. Just in agreement with this holy man’s dream.

What this means to Seventh-day Adventist Christians is not much, but what it meant to the New Age movement was phenomenal. As soon as this story was released, American Indians from all over began making pilgrimages to this farm and as the people who own this calf realized that this is a sacred relic to the American Indians, they opened their farm and from what I could tell when I visited there they’ve bought into the New Age belief structure.

The Heiders have cooperated with the religious and sacred desires of the Indians as this saga has unfolded, which in itself is a miracle when we consider it was to be born to a white person. How easy would it be to predict a white person 19 generations ago, and how easy would it be to find a white person raising buffaloes. And how easy would it be to have those white people be willing to turn their farm over to the foreign religious rites of the Indians. Many white people would certainly not cooperate. Many would no doubt sell the buffalo, for it could be sold for millions to the Indians or others. (They have had offers in the million dollar price range.) What if it had been born to white racists? What if it was born to strong Bible believers? Would they support and sustain the new age worship which has taken place in connection with the white buffalo? Janesville, Wisconsin qualifies as the center of the United States.

Since its birth the pilgrimages continue and the Indians still appear on a regular basis to perform sacred rites in connection with the buffalo, but not only Indians but new agers, and Catholics also. This year at a service called the Unity gathering (Ecumenical?) over 650 religious leaders from around the globe attended the three-day worship service. Now they’d been having many sacred gatherings there, and at that prayer gathering they had 650 religious leaders from around the world and went through ceremonies and ushered in this prophecy. Among those 650 was the Dalai Lama, now if you’re not familiar with who the Dalai Lama is, he is to spiritualism what the pope is to Catholicism, the symbolic king of world spiritualism! The head of the dragon forces made his pilgrimage there to work in this ecumenical 3 day celebration that took place there.

These people leave prayer offerings on the fence of the corral. I have a picture of these prayer offerings left by Indians, Hindus, Buddhists and many people from all around the world. From time to time they take these off and keep them and people coming to see this site just keep bringing them over and over again.

The (ecumenical) peace pipe the white buffalo maiden brought has been handed down for 19 generations and is perhaps the most sacred idol to the American Indian. It is this legend that all Indians derive their understanding of the peace pipe from. The bundle the maiden brought was stolen from the Indians in the massacre of Wounded Knee; yet in the recent past a medicine man found out the bundle had been placed on auction in South Carolina, and the medicine man went to the auction and retrieved this sacred idol for the Indian nation.

In 1995 an Indian holy man appeared at the Heider's farm and sat down beneath a oak tree for three days, waiting for another Indian holy man to arrive who possessed the sacred peace pipe. The first holy man, (Floyd Hand) wanted to assess if the second holy man. (Arvol Looking Horse) was spiritually mature enough to receive and protect the sacred bundle and thus reunite it with the sacred peace pipe, which he possessed. Their association has continued and soon it is expected that Floyd Hand will give the sacred bundle to Arvol, thus bringing these two premier new age idols of the American Indians, and spiritualists of the entire world, back together. Not only is the prophecy being fulfilled perfectly, but its ecumenical implications are being marked by the historic saga of the peace pipe and sacred bundle.

The birth of Miracle occurred around the time period of the earthquakes in California and Japan, and the prophecy stated the catastrophes and crisis would only accelerated until the era of peace. This is the identical message another unholy spirit lady is bringing through the apparitions of Mary.

Now, they don’t have any genetic reasons why this female white buffalo is still alive because female white buffaloes aren’t supposed to be born and when they do they are supposed to die.

According to the prophecy when the white buffalo was born she would go through the same color changes as did the white buffalo prophetess, which brought the peace pipe and message. Miracle changed colors to black in January of 1995, then red in June of 1995, then yellow in November of 1995. The prophecy said she would eventually turn back to white. When I viewed her in May of 1996 her rump was beginning to change back to white. (Buffaloes do not change colors!) All these changes have been photographically documented. At the end of the five years of crisis Miracle will supposedly, turn back into the maiden and usher in the era of peace. With her birth in 1994 five years of disasters brings us to 1999--just in time to begin the so-called Age of Aquarius!

One of the things I would like you to remember about this unfolding prophecy that has the markings of a satanic miracle, is that this prophecy has been in existence for hundreds of years. It’s something that demonstrates that Satan has been planning his final movements against God for quite some time. He’s been doing whatever it takes to bring these prophecies to pass right on time. The idea that this white buffalo was prophesied to appear in the center of the United States, I think you would agree that Wisconsin is the center of the United Sates; that it would come to a white family, and the prophecy existed before there were white people in the Americas; is overwhelming. The idea that it was born white, a female and lived, and then it would go through color changes.

As Seventh-day Adventists I’m afraid that we’ve become so intellectual in our understanding of things that we don’t really, truly believe that Satan is going to be performing these kinds of miracles. But the warning is in prophecy that these frogs that come out of the mouth of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet, will be given this kind of Satanic lee-way to lead these different groups of people to Armageddon, and that’s what’s going on here.

Also what’s going on here, is that the religious aspect of the dragon power of Revelation 16, is already well about its work of taking the world to Armageddon. What I’d like you to remember about this is that the prophecy speaks of increasing crisis and at this time the American Indians were to seek to come together with the other religions of the world.

Associated with this is a white buffalo maiden, a woman. The spirit that is guiding the beast of Revelation 16, Catholicism right now, once again is a maiden, it’s the virgin Mary the supposed mother of Christ that’s appearing around the world, and interestingly enough, she’s predicting a great crisis during these next couple years but at the end, at the year 2000, we can expect an era of peace.

We certainly know, and especially since Vatican II, one of the main efforts of Catholicism is the ecumenical movement once again bringing the religions of the world together. So as we continue on in our studies, please note that the message that the beast power, Catholicism, is giving to it’s followers is very, very similar to the message that is being given to the dragon forces followers, and they’re being led to the same place. And according to Revelation 16 that’s Armageddon, but this coincidental agreement between the women that are bringing the prophecies and the women that are the ones that will be lifted up to help usher in the millennium, will no doubt climax in some kind of a miraculous event to take place at the end as we see this woman lifted up as one of the leaders. A study of the worship of Nimrod and his wife, makes it very clear that Nimrod’s wife, Semeramis, has a roll to play not only in spiritualism but in Catholicism. So when we see these women associated with these end time miracles, it is alarming in the sense that we can demonstrate that these movements are well under way.

We’re already on our way to Armageddon as a world, and the warning comes in Revelation 16, make sure you have the garment of Christ’s righteousness on. That’s the message that comes to us today as we see what’s going on with the apparitions of Mary and the fulfillment of New Age prophecies.

"Transgression has almost reached its limit. Confusion fills the world, and a great terror is soon to come upon human beings. The end is very near. We who know the truth should be preparing for what is soon to break upon the world as an overwhelming surprise." Review and Herald September 10, 1903.

2007 UPDATE: ‘Miracle’ continued to draw visitors from all over the world for ten years. She died of natural causes in September 2004. She never did turn back to white, but was brown when she died. She produced four calves in her life, none were white.

Another white calf, this time a male, was born on the same farm in 2006 and was called, "Miracle, Second Chance".
