World Prophecies, and Spirituality Within Reason:

A Practical Way For the Humble and Meek To Inherit the Earth

We need not compromise with the forces of greed, self-interest, bigotry or hegemony. Rather, we must overcome them, not with malice or offensive words or actions. We must overcome them with persistent reason and truth they cannot deny, and if they try to use the tactic of distraction or try to change the subject, we must be relentless in pressing our case for a comprehensive reformation of government to establish equal opportunity, fairness, equity, freedom, social justice, legal justice, and peace and widespread prosperity for all the people, .

It is time to consider wisdom seldom heard in Washington, D.C. For example:

"Recognition of the falsity of material wealth as the standard of success goes hand in hand with the abandonment of the false belief that public office and high political position are to be valued only by the standards of pride of place and personal profit; and there must be an end to a conduct in banking and in business which too often has given to a sacred trust the likeness of callous and selfish wrongdoing. Small wonder that confidence languishes, for it thrives only on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection, on unselfish performance; without them it cannot live. Restoration calls, however, not for changes in ethics alone. This Nation asks for action, and action now." -- President Franklin D. Roosevelt, First Inaugural Address

Roosevelt did not compromise with the forces of greed, self-interest or bigotry. He insisted that banks, financial institutions, corporations and big businesses be legally required to pay a fair share of taxes, follow needed regulations and rules, and abide by the values and principles for which the greater society stands. For then, and only then, may we live in peace with widespread prosperity in a free society. Only then will humanity be able to enjoy the blessings that will come when we all treat others as we would want to be treated if we were them, and understand that we are all created equal and endowed by our Creator with unalienable human rights.

In 1776 when Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were collaboration about the content of The Declaration of Independence, Adam wrote the following piece which, like the Declaration, states that it the right of the people to alter or replace their government when it no longer serves their interests. But the Adams piece shows one of the reasons how and why we, the people, need to and can establish real and true Democracy with government that is actually of, by, and for the people -- good government that represents and serves us all, free of plutocratic and theocratic imposition by self-righteous and self-important people.

In fact, it is our right and duty to do so. For just as Thomas Jefferson and John Adams believed, and as Adams stated: "Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity and happiness of the people; and not for the profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men. Therefore the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity and happiness require.”

We, the people, must act. The Spirit of truth is calling us to do so. For the greatest prophets of the world foresaw and foretold that in this period at the end of the passing age of division and conflict there would be a servant-messenger of God who sends his work before him, delivering the message of judgment and intercession that shall set things straight with the truth. However, you should understand that The Sas prophesied, he has first been rejected by his generation because he is not what they expected. But ultimately the people will get the message because it is from the Spirit of truth.

It will deal with and is dealing with the forces of greed, self-interest and bigotry. It will even deal with the hypocritical "goats" who pretend to be religious, and it will put them in their place. On the other hand it will identify the "good sheep" who understand why the humble and meek shall inherit the earth. And it will help us bring wrongdoers to justice and bring a new paradigm of government and leadership into the world. Then, with a new world view, we can start to bring progress, advancement and improvement to the people in all the nations in the world.

Unfortunately, most of the world does not yet know who or what the messenger is, because organized religions don't know the facts about the messianic figure they await. The clergy of the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) believe they know the meaning of messianic prophecies, but it is obvious that the three religions have many conflicting ideas about it, and the ironic fact is that none of them know. In fact, again, some of them are identified with the hypocritical “goats” who masquerade under a cloak of “patriotism and religiosity.” But they serve "Mammon" rather than God, and they do not understand the eternal nature and the divine will of the Great Spirit-Parent.

To complicate things, most Christians don't like the message, because Jesus' role as prophet is not understood by Christianity, the largest religion in the world. But then, consider that it was built upon man-made church canon that elevates Jesus to the status of “only begotten son of God” and even as “God Himself.” Therefore, truth must overcome falsehood and myth. The promised divine intervention and judgment must teach or remind humanity that while the servants like Jesus should be glorified for what they were, only God is God and no man can play God. Only God is the Savior, as Isaiah wrote, and servants of God are chosen to fulfill prophecies. For God is the Eternal Great Spirit-Parent of all of us, and is by any other name The Holy One.

Because of Man's ignorance and error, a reformation of religion is necessary. And since the greatest number of people in the world are Christians or were raised Christian and are familiar with its Creed, this work tends to target that audience, but due to this work's treatment of the crucial universal teachings of Jesus, it is relevant to all people and to the adherents of all of the other major religions. After all, the most essential truth is ageless and universal and can be realized by all who can receive it from within, regardless of religion. Moreover, while this work is somewhat about religion as we know it, it is more about universal spiritual truths that religion should be built upon to serve its true purpose, and it calls for a reformation of religion to achieve that goal.

On the other hand, this work also calls for a reformation of government, so it is as much or more about economics and politics -- about what's wrong and how we may correct it. For the main problem is that the status quo and the traditional ways of determining our leadership have failed, and regardless of whether nations claim to have a "Democracy" or not, political power winds up in the hands of the wealthiest few who rule with the power of money.

That is all the more the case since the forces of greed and self-interest have found new ways to manipulate circumstances and fool people to gain power. People have increasingly found it difficult to discern the truth from that which is misleading, deceptive or false, That has increasingly been the case during the last four decades, and the situation is now so bad that it is very perilous for humanity and for the earth itself.

Deceivers are cunning, but they often succeed because they actually believe they are "right," and that they are even "doing God's will." That is why you must know that while there are many ways a Deceiver may choose to gain or maintain power, it often involves appealing to the people’s egotism and their pride and prejudices, and turning them against minority scapegoats who are labeled as "the problem."

Today we have blatant examples of that, which is why bigotry and hypocrisy and violence are rampant and increasing. And the situation is so grave that unless the great majority of the people learn the truth, we are in danger of falling further down the slippery slope into total Plutocracy, Theocracy, and Fascism. In fact, we have already fallen far in that direction and plutocratic and theocratic forces have taken control of many governments, especially the government of America.

However, truth will prevail, and it can and will set us free, empower us, take power away from the forces of greed and self-interest, and enable the humble and "meek" majority to inherit the earth and establish real Democracy with government that will actually be of, by, and for the people.

You see, we need real Democracy. But our governments have failed us because real and true Democracy does not yet exist. We do not yet have government of the people, by the people, or for the people. We have government that is controlled by Plutocrats and Theocrats who pull the strings, and thus our government does not promote the general welfare, nor does it use the common wealth for the common good. It serves the interests of the wealthiest few who think their wealth and religion entitles them to rule.

Nevertheless, this message is also about the true meaning and purpose of religion, and the need for religious freedom and pluralism with a Jeffersonian "wall of separation between church and state."

Furthermore, keep in mind that according to the prophets Isaiah and Jesus, the servant-messenger of God sends his work before him and is "hidden" as he and his work are rejected by his generation, and he suffers many things and has been stricken and afflicted. He avoids the limelight and seeks not to exalt himself, and he stresses that it is the message, not the messenger, that the world needs. He seeks only to deliver the message that will liberate and empower all humanity, for the truth shall set us free.

About the Message

Our predicament and this tribulation has increased as we have approached the end of the age, and it was foreseen and foretold, or prophesied.

However, it was also foreseen and foretold that in order for the humble, gentle, kind, generous, peaceful and “meek” majority of people to inherit the earth and enjoy the birthright with which we've been endowed by our Creator, an authentic, truly righteous judgment would be needed to set things straight.

That is because proper, honest judgment is needed to correct the political and religious leaders of the world who have brought us to this terrible state of inequity and injustice -- because it was not God who caused this tribulation. It was the vain folly of Man.

However, even though a judgment and a divine intervention and intercession was prophesied, it is not as most religious people expected. For while they want a conquering hero and king, the fulfillment of real prophecies is not about the rule of one man, nor is it about one world religion or one world government. Moreover, it has nothing to do with a so-called “holy war” or magic, or anything supernatural.

The fulfillment of prophecy is about truth, love, reason and justice overcoming false beliefs, hate, bigotry and injustice. And it is about the pen finally proving mightier than the sword.

Fulfilling prophecy, the author of this message is a man of sorrows, well acquainted with grief. He is from your midst, and of your brethren. And he is not a holy man. In fact, he is a contrite son of man who is painfully aware of his failings and mistakes, and realizes his limitations, impotence and helplessness to deal with the elements that are causing such horrific suffering, death, and destruction in our world.

He knows that all he can do is tell the truth and deliver this promised judgment, and trust in God that as soon as enough people get the message it will provide the intervention and intercession that was promised. For it is the message that is important, not the messenger, and it is the truth, and nothing but the truth, that will set us free.

The judgment, intervention and intercession is not to issue commandments. It cannot be imposed, and it is designed not to condemn but to educate; not to punish but to correct; and not to destroy but to save. It is merely to counsel and guide humanity to the truth, explain religious prophecies and the nature of God as much as possible, plead for the poor, the elderly and the disadvantaged, celebrate our diversity, show you things to come, and suggest how we may proceed forward toward a brighter future together.

The judgment and the fulfillment of prophecy is about the liberation and empowerment of the people, so that we may finally become the family of religions and races and nations with governments that will be truly of the people, by the people, and for the people, at long last.

The promised judgment helps us understand that only God the eternal, omnipresent Great Spirit-Parent reigns Sovereign, above all human beings (including he who delivers the message). And it explains that the fulfillment of prophecy is to bring about a reformation of our religions and our governments so that they will use the common wealth for the common good, promote the general welfare, and ensure domestic tranquility, pluralism and freedom of religions, equal rights and opportunities, and justice for all the people.

That is what this comprehensive message and judgment is all about, and the message cites Judeo-Christian scriptural evidence merely because Christianity is the largest religion in the world and the most powerful, but the message is universal in scope and appropriate for all religions.

The messenger began delivering the message in 1984, but, as was prophesied, he is rejected by his generation. Meanwhile, spiritually blind leaders still lead their blind flocks astray because the greatest refuge of a scoundrel is patriotism and the greatest refuge of a hypocrite is religiosity, and the proud and militant have claimed that their religion or nation or race or culture is superior to all others, or that their wealth entitles them to rule. But, they are woefully wrong.

Know this, that it is the truth, and nothing but the truth, that shall set us free, and the messenger was sent to provide true counsel and liberate and empower you all.

The Universal Divine Imperative to Care For the Poor

Hypocrites masquerading as religious believers in God claim that government should not promote the general welfare, and they claim that the rich are blessed and that the poor deserve their lot. But just look at what the Bible actually says:

"Is it not [your divine obligation] to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house; and when you see the naked, to cover them?" -- Isaiah 58:3-24

“Defend the poor and fatherless. Do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: take them out of the hands of the wicked.” – Psalm 82:3-4

“He that oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, but he that honors the Lord has mercy on the poor.” – Proverbs 14:31

“He that has pity on the poor lends to the Lord; and what he has given will be repaid.” --.Proverbs 19:17

“The righteous consider the cause of the poor, but the wicked care not to know it.” – Proverbs 29:7

“Judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.” -- Proverbs 31:9

“If a brother or sister is naked and hungry, and one of you who are warmed and filled says to them, ‘Depart’ and do not give them those things which the body needs; what does it profit you? Therefore, faith without works is dead, being alone. Yes, a man may say, you have faith, and I have works, but show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” (James 2:14-18)

“And all that believed were together, and had all things common. They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed proceeds to everyone as they had need.” -- Acts 2:44-45

“None among them lacked, for those that owned lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds from the things that were sold, and distributed them to everyone according to their need.” -- Acts 4:34-35

“Then [Jesus] said: 'Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.’” -- Luke 6:20-21

“[Jesus] went to the synagogue and stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written: 'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor.'” -- Luke 4:18:

“Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, ‘You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.’" -- Mark 10:21-22:

“When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or relatives or rich neighbors, so they may invite you in return to be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid [by God].’" -- Luke 14:12-14

"None among them can be found richer than another. It is their law that all who enter the sect must divide their property among the members of the society, with the result that there is never seen among them either abject poverty nor great wealth, for, since every man's possessions are put into the common treasury, they all have, like brothers, one inheritance.” -- Flavius Josephus, a Jewish historian writing of the Essenes ( the Jewish sect to which Mary, Joseph, Jesus and James belonged, which is why the disciples of Jesus did the same thing according to the Christian book of Acts).

The United Nations International Bill of Human Rights

In 1948, following the Second World War, the United Nations adopted the International Bill of Human Rights, also called the International Declaration of Human Rights. It declares that the utmost among these rights are:

1) All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights;

2) Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person;

3) No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment;

4) All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law;

5) No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile;

6) Everyone charged with a crime is entitled equally to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal;

7) Everyone has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law;

8) Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state;

9) Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion;

10) Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression, and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers;

11) Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association;

12) Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to fair and equal pay, and to form and join trade unions;

13) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for their health and well-being, especially mothers and children.

Unfortunately, many nations have ignored those rights, including the United States of America. And the U.N. has been unable to do much about it.

In fact, because of right-wing partisan politicians in America, the power of the U.N. has been declining since 1981 and particularly since 2000, and the U.S. has been as much responsible for that decline as any other violators have been.

Obviously, the U.S. Government, as it has been since 1981 and as it still is, will not abide by this declaration or ensure these rights for all Americans, nor will other nations that are similar or worse. Therefore, we, the people, must stand up and be counted to advocate these rights for all people in all nations of the world.

Please read the article on The 21st Century Declaration of Independence to see suggestions about how we, the people, may finally abolish the rule of money and finally establish government that is actually of, by, and for the people.

Also, please listen to a brave child who speaks the plain truth that we all should take to heart.

This seed of this message was implanted in the heart and mind of the author in 1971 when he was 30 years old. After much trial and error, much self-doubt, and much meditation and study, it was developed in 1984 and finally self-published under the name of Joseph Adamson in early 2002 in books published by iUniverse.com and summarized in articles at Internet sites that no longer exist (realprophecyunveiled.netfirms.com and then reformationcomingsoon.bravehost.com). Then in 2010, feeling all his work had been in vain, the author closed his site. But the articles were preserved here on these Initiative sites where they've been edited and updated when possible. The author initially wrote under a pen name (Joseph J. Adamson), but he is know by many names and titles by different religions as is explained in Prophecies Re: He Who Fulfills Them. He also goes by the name of J.J. Jeffers, the name he chose as a singer-songwriter. However, he knows he and his name don't matter. He is but a servant-messenger of God and like a blade of grass that withers and dies, while the message, as imperfect as it is, is an important and lasting testament and needed interceding judgment.
