Indeed, Isaiah 18:3 tells us about a great "sight," a powerful "sight" that will be foretold ahead of time, publicly announced and fully presented to all mankind, in our day and time...that's all mankind upon earth, by God's Newly Appointed "Chieftain." -- Ezekiel 44:3

Ohhh yes, God's Prophetic Word says,

"All you inhabitants of the productive land and you residents of the earth, you will see a sight just as when there is the raising up of a signal upon the mountains, and you will hear a sound just as when there is the blowing of a horn." -- Isaiah 18:3

In the shown prophecy above, God's Word tells us of a coming mighty event -- a mighty event that is so profound, so unusual, so unique, so amazingly powerful, that yes, "all inhabitants" of the earth will SEE IT! Yes, Isaiah 40:5 refers to it as the actual "Glory of God," and again states the profound truth that: "all flesh will see together."

But at this time you may ask, what could be such a powerful "sign" as this...so powerful that indeed the whole world will see it ... "together" at one time even? What could this be?

THE GREAT "SIGN" -- WHAT IS IT?

Isaiah 66:18, 19 says:

"And as regards their works and their thoughts, I am coming in order to collect all the nations and tongues together; and they will have to come and see MY GLORY. And I WILL SET AMONG THEM A SIGN, and I will send some of those who are escaped to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, those drawing the bow, Tubal and Javan, the faraway islands, who have not heard a report about me or seen my glory; and they will for certain tell about MY GLORY among the nations." -- New World Translation

The above bible prophecy indicates Almighty God, in His Grand Mercy, has revealed it to be His Will, to finally, yes finally give ALL PERSONS ON EARTH, a grand "sign," a stupendous miracle which He calls “My Glory,” to

(a) fully convince people of His Watchful Presence over earth's affairs during such turbulent times, and
(b) to assure them of His keen interest in spreading Divine Truth earth wide! -- See Isaiah 11:9; Daniel 12:4; Compare Watchtower Society’s interpretation of Isaiah 66:18, 19 in July 1st, 1982 Watchtower, pages 21-24, par. 8-17.

Therefore based upon the above, Jehovah God is willing to grant time ... time for all ... that's "all flesh" on earth to see the Glory of Jehovah, explained and dispensed by a person who scripturally calls himself the Modern Day "Servant," and the "Chieftain" of God's Holy Temple. (See Isaiah 49:1-7; Ezekiel 44:3.) Indeed this unique prediction, made by this singular person, when fulfilled and fantastically demonstrated before all mankind as promised by Jesus Christ, would indeed prove this person is in fact, exactly who he claims to be, as one appointed directly by Jehovah God Himself, as the promised coming of the Modern-Day "Son of Man" (Jesus pictures 1st century “Son of Man”) magnificently “revealed” as if, by a great stroke, or bolt of “lightning.” (See Matthew 24:27; Luke 17:24, 30) Indeed, the mysterious prophecy of Zephaniah 3:9 does tell us:

“9 For then will I turn to the people a PURE LANGUAGE, that they may all call upon the name of THE LORD [Jehovah] to serve him with ONE CONSENT.” -- Zephaniah 3:9 King James Version

... therefore, the Special "Sign" we refer to as the “Glory of Jehovah” will prove to be the ADVANCE NOTICE of God's Hand miraculously converting the Island of Jamaica to the "Pure Language” of God’s Name People, Israel … the Hebrew tongue, just as foretold by the prophet Zephaniah, at chapter 3 verse 9!

(For more details on why Jamaica is so special to Jehovah God, see article: Three (3) Reasons Jamaicans Have Become God's Name People)

Indeed, this grand, stupendous act on Almighty God's Part, will be done for the whole planet earth to see, to prove Jehovah keeps His Word to fully "DISCIPLINE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS" His wayward “Name People” (Jehovah’s Witnesses), and render proper judgment upon all such matters, for all the world to see, as any loving father would do for His disobedient, obstreperous children. (Hebrews 12:5-11; 2 Timothy 3:16) This singular act, magnificently, would prove, Jehovah's Witnesses were indeed at one time, God's Name People and in His favor, but later have gone astray into rank apostasy thus making themselves an "Apostate Nation," and thereby, must be forcibly dealt with as a disobedient people and nation. (See Isaiah 10:6; Acts 15:14.) Yes, let the entire earth, the whole world know, this stupendous action we speak of, Jehovah will indeed do, swiftly and decisively, yes to REPLACE and REMOVE from His Holy Sight, any wicked people or nation (in this instance Jehovah's Witnesses, former and current) who callously claim to represent Him before others, and yet unrepentantly and consistently persist in the public practice of wrongdoing, sin and blatant hypocrisy (which constitutes Apostasy in His Sight), while preaching righteousness before others. -- Matthew 5:13; Matthew 21:43; Luke 12:1; Romans 2:17-24.

Then too, based upon the foregoing, we may now expect Jehovah to "righteously," bring forth another people for His Names sake, a new nation (Jamaica) for His Name, that will willingly and obediently bear righteous "fruit" to Jehovah, as expected of those who represent him. (See Ezekiel 39:7; Ezekiel 39:21-24; Matthew 21:43; John 1:6) These aforementioned Divine Principles when it comes to God's Pure Worship, are eternal and everlasting in Jehovah's Mind, and thus, must always be enforced according to His Lofty and Most Holy Standards. (See Exodus 32:10; Numbers 14:12; Malachi 3:6) Yes, the scriptures are clear, this responsibility that Jehovah now takes upon Himself in our day and age, As the most high Judge of All the Universe, is viewed by Him as absolutely a necessary and imperative action, and incumbent upon His part, since it is His Will Pure Worship must exist in some form on earth, and indeed must stay just that ... Pure in His Holy Sight upon earth, for all times, or as long as Jehovah permits human life upon this planet. Yes, if humans are to exist upon God's Earth, then, Pure Worship then, must exist also. This is God's Will. -- See Malachi 1:11; Malachi 4:5, 6. Think about it!

Additionally it behooves us to note, bible prophecy does clearly indicate, along with this great event, namely the "Glory of Jehovah," we should fully expect simultaneously or in close proximity to this astonishing happening in Jamaica, yes in full retaliation to God’s Stupendous Miracle, indeed we can then expect Satan the Devil to react … to start what is believed to be the Greatest War ever upon earth, the greatest war of all times ... yes, World War III … as indicated by the possible detonation of a Nuclear Device upon the United States of America, very possibly resulting in the full destruction of the city of New York (as well as attacks upon other major cities upon American soil), by the hands of none other than Osama bin Laden assisted by the Islamic Extremist Group called: Al Qaeda. -- Compare Daniel 10:1 (NIV); Revelation 6:4-8.

For more details on this most amazing bible prophecy see article entitled: THE KING OF THE NORTH IS COMING!

Indeed, Daniel 8:23-25 speaks of the coming of the infamous "Small Horn" and his GREAT DESTRUCTIVE ACTIVITY by saying:

23 "In the latter period of their rule, When the transgressors have run their course, A king will arise, Insolent and SKILLED IN INTRIGUE [or a “Master of Intrigue” -- See New International Version].

24 "His power will be mighty, but not by his own power, And he will destroy to an extraordinary degree [using nuclear weapons]. And prosper and perform his will; He will destroy mighty men [USA] and the holy people [Jehovah’s Witnesses, Modern-Day Apostate “Israel”].

25 "AND THROUGH HIS SHREWDNESS HE WILL CAUSE DECEIT TO SUCCEED BY HIS INFLUENCE [He will fake his own death]; And he will magnify himself in his heart, And he will destroy many [USA] while they are at ease. He will even oppose the Prince of princes, But he will be broken without human agency. -- New American Standard Version

This great "destructive" activity of the coming "Small Horn" (Osama Bin Laden) of bible prophecy, will also be quite visible to all, where key, timely information will be provided by God's "Chieftain" Prophet on earth, for our benefit. (Ezekiel 44:3; Amos 3:7; John 16:13) Indeed, during such a terrific time as this, with such horrific occurrences before us, will no doubt actually split the huge "mountain" that stands between Jehovah God and His entrapped people, those who are caught in the snares of the wicked, nefarious Governing Body of Jehovah's witnesses in total, cognitive dissonance, not knowing which way to go to escape the clutches of powerful Babylon The Great itself. -- Zechariah 14:4, 5; Revelation 18:4

WHO IS DONALD C. BURNEY???

And again, all of these reactions are done on Satan's part because of the great miracle of Jehovah, namely the one the bible calls: The "Glory of Jehovah," a grand event that Jesus compared to the sudden and bright illuminating effect of a powerful bolt of lightning in night’s darkness, … an event that proves to be TOTALLY UNEXPLAINABLE on mankind's part, as it becomes a known fact this foretold occurrence was clearly predicted, EVEN ADVERTISED PUBLICLY, ahead of time, by Donald C. Burney, a lone man, the writer of this article. -- Matthew 24:27; Luke 17:24, 30.

Think about it!

Again we repeat, a great happening is shortly ahead for all mankind, namely the "Glory of Jehovah” on full display, this grand miracle on God's Part which will prove to be the magnificent conversion of the Island of Jamaica, to instantly SPEAK THE HEBREW LANGUAGE, the original language of ancient Israel, God’s Name People … yes, God’s “Pure Language" of Truth. Yes, this will be done by the Almighty Hand of God, Jehovah, which will bring about immediate unity and harmony among the Jamaican people, where all Jamaicans, for all eternity, will serve Jehovah with “one consent,” or “shoulder-to-shoulder,” just as the prophecy says at Zephaniah 3:9 … yes, thereby creating a veritable paradise on the Island of Jamaica, for the whole world to see. Think about it! -- See Zephaniah 3:9.

Indeed, this grand event referred to numerous times in bible prophecy as the "Glory of Jehovah," will prove to be the most compelling, convincing and yes, unique miracle of God done on earth, ever ... and thus, will be remembered forever, and ever, yes for all ages! -- See Isaiah 35:1, 2; Isaiah 40:5; Isaiah 41:18-20; Isaiah 43:19-21; Isaiah 44:3-5; Isaiah 55:13; Isaiah 66:18, 19; Ezekiel 39:21.

To be sure, All-Wise Jehovah God, uses this powerful "sign" or prophetic "signal" (the "Glory of Jehovah") we speak of, to prove and remove all doubt to all persons alive ... GOD'S "SCAPEGOAT" SERVANT, truly does exists upon earth today, as yes, the “Revealed” as it were, “Son of Man,” Donald C. Burney, the one foretold to come upon earth by Jesus himself, at Luke 17:30. -- See also Romans 16:27; Leviticus 16:10, 20-22; Isaiah 4:2; Isaiah 11:10, 12; Isaiah 49:5, 6; Matthew 17:10, 11.

Think about it!

AMERICAN HIROSHIMA – THE NEXT 9/11?

When Australian police announced recently that eight men arrested on terrorism charges were planning a bomb attack against a nuclear reactor near Sydney, many security observers elsewhere were not surprised.

Officials and analysts in the United States have been warning that al-Qaida or associated groups are planning such attacks on American soil.

Dubbed American Hiroshima, the plan apparently targets New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Boston and Washington, DC.

Former US Defence Secretary William Perry says there is an even chance of a nuclear attack on the US this decade. Renowned investor Warren Buffet has predicted "a nuclear terrorist attack ... is inevitable".

David Dionisi, a former US army intelligence officer, is convinced that plans for a nuclear attack are under way.

Once a conservative Republican, Dionisi enjoyed success as a Fortune 500 business executive after leaving the army. But he later rejected his political beliefs and now advocates peace, social justice and humanitarianism.

In his new book, American Hiroshima, Dionisi argues decades of unjust US foreign policies will be largely to blame for sowing the seeds of hostility and vengeance which could lead to a nuclear catastrophe.

Aljazeera's Shaheen Chughtai caught up with Dionisi in London.

Dionisi had just flown from Liberia where he helps run a Catholic orphanage.

Aljazeera.net: You were once a conservative Republican. What made you change your beliefs?

Dionisi: The transformation was a discovery process. When I joined the military, I had a very limited view of what the US was doing around the world. Through my experiences as a military intelligence officer and later as a business executive doing international volunteer work, I started to see our foreign policies were often hurting people and making the world more dangerous.

One of the more dramatic moments in this process was when I was assigned to a unit focusing on implementing US foreign policy in central America. I was part of a rapid deployment team designed to go in and suppress forces working for social justice in places such as Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala.

You describe the US public as uninformed - why?

The major media outlets are owned by a handful of corporations interested in promoting advertising and pro-government messages. Anything that challenges the existing power structure very often fails to receive air time. I highlight Fox as an extreme example of the Republican propaganda machine.

But when your country is fighting a war, you have an obligation to understand what's really going on. If you don't, you can become an agent of injustice. If people can find the time to watch baseball or soccer etc, they can make an effort to read, travel, talk and not be limited to the messages of fear.

They also need to understand their history. In 1962, the Joint Chiefs of Staff presented a plan called Operation Northwood, which is now declassified. It proposed conducting mass casualty attacks on American targets and blaming it on Cuba to rally public support for war against Fidel Castro. President Kennedy rejected the plan. So we shouldn't just assume any future attack on our soil is the work of al-Qaida.

Your book condemns alliances with repressive regimes. Can't these be justified if they serve a greater cause?

History teaches us that when you form alliances that promote injustice, you can only expect injustice in the future. Kindness begets kindness and the inverse is also true.

The US fought the largest secret war in its history during the 1980s in Afghanistan - over $6bn was funnelled into that war. As a result, US collaboration with and responsibility for al-Qaida goes well beyond what most even informed Americans understand.

If you consider that there are over 500 prisoners in Guantanamo Bay from over 40 countries - though not a single one is from Iraq - and that the CIA recruited thousands of people from over 40 countries to be part of that war - none from Iraq - you can better understand how the US played a direct role in creating what became the Taliban and al-Qaida.

Bush supporters argue the removal of Saddam and the Taliban was beneficial and therefore justified military action.

That starts from an artificial premise. When the Bush administration says, "Well, it's great that Saddam's gone," it fails to acknowledge that Bush's father and President Ronald Reagan were key forces that helped create Saddam Hussein.

Looking at what happened in 1979 it can put a lot of this in perspective. As Reagan came into office, the US embassy hostages in Iran were released after 444 days in captivity. Americans don't know this wasn't a coincidence. The US had agreed in writing not to attack Iran and also paid Tehran $8bn. That's why that media event (of the hostages' release during Reagan's inauguration ceremony) occurred with such precise timing.

How do you know this?

These are facts that were subsequently published. The agreement with Iran was submitted for review by the current administration to see if it would be binding and prevent an attack in the near future.

Bush administration attorneys concluded it was signed under duress and therefore not binding. I know this from a former senior member of the Bush administration, a seasoned CIA officer named Ray Flynn.

The US felt humiliated; the Reagan administration wanted to hurt the Iranians but its hands were tied. So Saddam Hussein was used as the agent for that. He ended up invading Iran ... and you had this brutal war from 1980 to 1988 that killed over a million people.

What was the US role in that war?

By 1982, Iran had recaptured lost territory and Saddam asked the US for help. So President Reagan signed a National Security Decision Directive - NSDD 114 - to provide all means of support to Saddam Hussein. Donald Rumsfeld then went on a very sensitive mission to deliver satellite intelligence, other forms of intelligence and weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

That's why the current Bush administration was so confident Saddam had chemical and biological weapons; they knew the US had supplied the ingredients in the 1980s.

Saddam broke with the US, however, when he found out we were selling weapons to Iran in the mid-1980s - the Iran-Contra affair. All this puts the invasion of Kuwait into perspective. Saddam got clear messages from the US saying he could invade; plus he felt the US owed him one after betraying him over Iran.

All these wars form a continuum of injustice. Look at the UN economic sanctions in the 1990s that the US and UK refused to lift: over a million Iraqis died, including 500,000 children. That's more than the number who died from the Nagasaki and Hiroshima atomic bombings.

You list numerous "unjust" actions that led to attacks on US targets - isn't that justifying terrorism?

I talked to the CIA's Michael Scheuer, head of the "find Bin Ladin" team, and he stresses that people in the Muslim world are not fighting us because of our freedoms or elections but our foreign policy. This is something the Bush administration constantly twists.

The basic principle is: if you hurt someone, they're going to want to hurt you. We need to ask questions like: Why did 9/11 happen? Bin Ladin has a very clear articulation of why he's at war with the US, Britain, Israel and others. If Americans read it, they'll see it's very clear about things such as US forces on Arab land.

And it's not just an Arab or Muslim issue. I learnt this in South Korea where the US has had troops since 1950. When you're there that long, it sends a powerful message that you're not there to liberate, you're there to occupy.

You describe the US as the biggest WMD proliferator. Why?

The US has spent $5 trillion on 70,000 nuclear weapons since 1945 - more than the rest of the world combined. A Congressional report in 1999 found the designs for every deployed nuclear warhead - and for some not built yet - had been stolen and passed to China. Israel acquired its programme from the US too.

Despite this, ordinary Americans are more concerned about the Bush administration's lies and hyped-up warnings about WMD in places such as Iraq.

Is Iran really a threat to the US? An alliance between Shia Iran and Sunni-led al-Qaida seems far fetched.

Iran will not attack the US if the US does not attack Iran. Congressman Curt Weldon (who accuses Tehran of plotting to attack the States) talks about attacking Iran but such talk makes the world more dangerous. If we were Iran, we'd develop nuclear weapons simply because Israel has them. So the US should facilitate a process whereby Israel eliminates its nuclear weapons.

As for the religious differences between Iran and al-Qaida, yes, that's been true - but Bush's War on Terror has been pushing the sects together. Intelligence reports indicate Bin Ladin's son Saad has been based in Iran. No, we can't be certain they're helping each other. But in any case, the Bush administration does not want peace with Iran.

You say "kindness begets kindness". What's your evidence?

After the first world war, the Treaty of Versailles punished Germany harshly, producing hardship and hostility that the Nazis exploited. But after the second world war, when the Marshall Plan helped rebuild Germany and Japan, the US did more to promote democracy than at any time during the Cold war.

To make the world a safer place, we must aggressively attack the causes of suffering and hostility. Imagine if Bush had said after 9/11: "People are capitalising on our mistakes in the Middle East. So, let's ensure there is no hunger, lack of clean water, lack of education etc in the Muslim world." We would have made more friends and drained support for our enemies.

If we can't expect US foreign policy to change soon, isn't it too late to stop an American Hiroshima?

It's not too late although your point is realistic. But we can still influence the US response. Far more people will die in the retaliation and the counter-retaliation.

If the US had the wisdom, we could make the world safer. The US military budget was over $420 billion in 2005. We could split that three ways: a third on economic development in the Middle East, especially Iraq; a third on tackling injustice at home, such as providing universal healthcare - and that would still leave us with the world's biggest military budget.

People have to become more involved. The anti-Vietnam war movement is an example - but it failed to hold government to account. If we had tried (former Defence Secretary) Robert McNamara or (former Secretary of State) Henry Kissinger for crimes such as the illegal bombing of Cambodia, it would have sent a powerful message to future leaders. The Bush government today wouldn't have been so bold.

Ultimately, Americans need to understand many of them will die and parts of their country will become uninhabitable unless they hold their government to account.
