Grace to you!
In my previous post, I claimed Paul's "Mystery" is critically important. I said that I would explain why with more details, and I am eager to do so.
First, God confirmed this by a relatively recent historical event that you are all probably familiar with. I described the event in my posts Spirit of Elisha and Burned Toast, but when I wrote those posts I left out any reference to the "Mystery." I did that because I was still processing my recent experience of being delivered. More importantly, Holy Spirit did not let me discuss it at that time.
For those of you who do not recall reading those posts, or are not interested in wading through their combined length, I will briefly summarize what happened here...
God led my family to visit Washington, D.C. three months before the 2001 World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. He led me to pray for the protection of the Capitol Building and the White House, and He led me to pray some things at a highway rest stop near Somerset, Pennsylvania on the way home. After we were home, exactly three weeks prior to the event on my younger daughter's birthday, He led me to pray that the towers would come down and against the Pentagon. I was as surprised as anyone that the events happened, but was astounded that it happened in the way that it did and as soon as it did. You can review the details by reading the two posts.
Now, what does this have to do with the "Mystery?" As it turns out, everything!
My wife had ordered the "Mystery" book and it arrived by mail the day we were going to leave for Washington, D.C. I am certain of this, and so is she, because I did not get a chance to start reading it until we spent our first night in Maumee, Ohio. I finished it over the course of the next three nights, before we actually arrived in the Capitol.
While we were at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Holy Spirit led me to make a conscious decision to identify with Israel.
When I prayed the specific prayer on my daughter's birthday, I did it in the Name of Jesus and as a citizen of spiritual Israel.
Power and Authority
The author of the "Mystery" book, Marvin Byers, describes the difference between power and authority in Chapter 12, pages 89-91...
"Give me the money!" shouted the police officer to the bank teller as he pulled out his .40 caliber semi-automatic handgun. Of course, with that kind of fire power being brandished in her face, the bank teller quickly responded to his order. She did not even notice that he was dressed in an authentic police uniform; nor did she notice that he was wearing his badge, a symbol of authority that comes with being a duly authorized police officer. Actually, the only thing she could see at the moment was the barrel of his gun pointed straight toward her. In this situation, the badge of authority he wore meant nothing to her. The only thing that mattered to her, or that moved her, was the power that he was wielding through his gun. Of course, if caught, this officer will go straight to jail, regardless of how many years of faithful service he has rendered to the police department.
Suppose this same bank teller is driving her car down a main thoroughfare of her city, and suddenly she hears a shout, "Stop, in the name of the law!" The first thing she sees is an open hand extended toward her, signaling her to stop her car. The next thing she sees is the police officer's uniform and the badge he is wearing. This time she obeys the command of a police officer, not because of fear of his gun but out of respect for his authority. In fact, in this instance, she will probably not even notice that he has a gun. She knows that if she chooses to ignore his order and run him over, she will be the one to go to jail as soon as she is caught.
Why do most people obey policemen who direct traffic? Obviously, any officer involved in this work is doing so under the direction of his chief, or someone authorized by his chief. However, this fact alone is not what usually elicits our obedient response to a police officer. A sudden fear of the chief of police does not usually grip us in these situations. Our concern, although usually subconscious, would probably be based on other considerations. For example, the chief of police was appointed by the mayor, and the mayor has the power and authority of the governor behind him, and the governor has the power and authority of the National Guard behind him. If that is not enough, and if necessary, all the power and authority of the president and national government1 could be brought to bear on us if we choose to mow down a policeman with our car.
In both of the above scenarios involving police officers, most sane people would obey immediately. In the first case, we would obey because the officer has power behind him--a gun. In the second case, we would obey because the officer has authority behind him--an entire nation. In the first case, the officer has power but he has absolutely no authority. He was not sent by the government to rob the bank. In the second case, the officer who is directing traffic is not only backed by the authority of an entire nation or kingdom, but he also has access to power, and it is enough power to stop almost anyone. If he sees that someone is going to run him over, he can draw his gun and shoot the tires on the person's car or shoot the person himself, or both. The issue here is the difference between power and authority.
An individual has authority only when he or she is rightly related to a higher authority. This is why the centurion said to Jesus,
"For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." (Mt. 8:9)
Notice that he does not say, "I am a man of authority." Rather, he was a man under authority; for that reason, his soldiers obeyed him. In other words, they obeyed him because he had been sent by Caesar to do what he was doing. If they did not obey him, they might have faced the judgment and wrath of Caesar and the entire Roman Empire.
The Lord often uses the kingdoms of this world to reveal truths about His kingdom. In the kingdom of God, people sometimes have the power to do things without having the authority to do them. They might have a "spiritual gun" that is even more powerful than the police officer's .40 caliber semi-automatic. In other words, they might have the power to accomplish things in the spiritual realm. But the question is: Have they been sent to do what they are doing by the King or are they acting on their own and doing whatever they themselves choose to do? According to Jesus, many end up in this situation. He warns,
"Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' " (Mt. 7:22-23)
In the final judgment, no one will be able to lie in the presence of the Lord. "All things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account" (Heb. 4:13b). The Lord does not tell these people that they are lying to Him. The context implies that they did, in fact, have the power to do these things, but they did them without authority. They were not submitted to Him, to His government, or to His laws. They were practicing lawlessness just as much as the police officer who uses his power (gun) to rob a bank for his own purposes.
The Lord wants us to have both power and authority. He wants us to be used in His kingdom and in His army to do mighty exploits. Unfortunately, if we are not properly related to His kingdom, we have no real authority. In such cases, the use of any power we might possess becomes an act of lawlessness. Returning to our analogy, maybe we have not yet even joined His spiritual "police force" because of ignorance, prejudice, or lack of understanding. We might have a measure of power, but the spiritual powers in heavenly places will recognize our lack of authority. Men will recognize it as well, when they see how little victory we have. We are in a spiritual battle that requires spiritual, heavenly authority if we are to win. The spiritual powers arrayed against us know who has real authority and who does not. They can discern who has been sent by heaven and who is acting independently. They are always powerless when heaven's authority is present.As I described in previous posts, I was unable to get anybody to understand or even remember that I talked to them about these things, except my wife. Within a week, I ended up having lunch with two strangers who made me very uncomfortable. When I tried to discuss the "Mystery" with the leadership of the church we were attending, I was ineffective. Time passed and I became very isolated from neighbors, church friends and even family. Holy Spirit led us to move to a different house across town, which we live in now. Eventually, I was enticed to return to engineering work and it became impossible for me to have the same kind of spiritual experiences I had had before. In June of 2016, I was set free from unclean spirits.
I believe the Darkness recognized I had been given both power and authority, and they neutralized me with lies and spiritual interference. I believe what happened to me was similar to what Jesus describes in the following statement, although I am sure some of that baggage had already been with me for a long time before...
“When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.” (Luke 11:24-26 NIV; Matthew 12:43-45 is similar)
Enemy Strategy
In war, we can tell what hurts the enemy by what they attack and defend against. The Bible gives us major clues about this.
Jacob, Isaac's son, was a usurper, a supplanter, and that is what his name means. He usurped his brother Esau's place as firstborn. When Jacob wrestled with God, God renamed him Israel, which means something like "one who strives with God," or "struggles with God." It is from that point that the family name became Israel.
Israel's descendants multiplied and went to Egypt, where they became enslaved. But they prospered, too, because God was with them. God demonstrated His power and authority through Israel with the Ten Plagues and the Parting of the Red Sea. The people of the world took notice, as Rahab observed...
Before the spies lay down for the night, she went up on the roof and said to them, “I know that the Lord has given you this land and that a great fear of you has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you. We have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan, whom you completely destroyed. When we heard of it, our hearts melted in fear and everyone’s courage failed because of you, for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below.
“Now then, please swear to me by the Lord that you will show kindness to my family, because I have shown kindness to you. Give me a sure sign that you will spare the lives of my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them—and that you will save us from death.” (Joshua 2:8-13 NIV)
God continued to establish and demonstrate His power and authority through Israel by eventually establishing David's and Solomon's earthly kingdom. That kingdom was located at the crossroads of the world, where several major trade routes passed through. The world knew about Israel, and so did the Darkness, meaning the spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places.
When Solomon sinned against God, his descendants saw the kingdom divided (1 Kings 11:1-13). The northern tribes took the name of Israel with them, and the southern tribes became known as Judah. Judah had the power, because that was the line Jesus would come through, but Israel had the name and the authority. The Darkness gained an opportunity to attack, and their initial strategy was to separate the authority from the power.
From that point on, the children of the Promise suffered defeat after defeat until they were scattered and destroyed, except for a remnant, of course. That was the state of affairs, until Jesus of Nazareth came with power and authority.
Much of the New Testament describes how the early disciples exercised the power they received on Pentecost. They already had authority because they were all Jews and saw themselves as Israel. Things deteriorated rather quickly, however. By the First Council of Nicaea in year 325, what had become the Gentile Church was completely separate from Israel. Replacement Theology had become the official position of the Church/State. Evidence for this can be seen in this Wikipedia article. Although I don't normally consider a crowd-sourced repository like Wikipedia to be a reliable source of historical information, I think this page is sufficient evidence for showing the complete disconnect from Israel. A search for the word "Jew" in the article only brings up discussion about getting rid of the Jewish Calendar; and a search for the word "Israel" turns up nothing at all.
The name of Israel had been cast off again, and with it the authority of the Kingdom. Power disappeared, too, as the Institutional Church adopted words and ideas of men: creeds and liturgies, bishops and canon law. The world entered the Dark Ages and didn't come out until some of the Biblical powers were reclaimed from the book of Acts by the Reformation. Today, some quarters of the Gentile Church have rediscovered lost power, but they still lack the authority that comes from identification with Jews/Israel. I believe Jesus wants to fix this, but He is waiting for us to humble ourselves and do things His way.
Division is a key strategy of the Darkness. We must embrace authority along with power to have victory.
May the Lord Jesus Christ grace you with understanding and boldness to preach the gospel according to the mystery.

UPDATE, June 18, 2022...
1Actually, a Soil Jurisdiction County Sheriff has more authority than anyone when he is within the borders of his county. That Sheriff can deputize as many people as is necessary to deal with any situation. We are so programmed to think that the Federal Government is supreme, but it's not. The People are sovereign and the entities acting like the various governments (local, state, and federal) are just corporations contracted to provide government services. The People are the Employers; the service providers are the Employees.
UPDATE, June 28, 2022...
Authority, Revisited
God uses things of this world to help us understand the Kingdom of Heaven and things we cannot see.
As I said in my most recent post, I have been learning about our actual American history and government. In September, I posted a summary on Facebook for my friends and family explaining what I had learned. In May, I updated it significantly to reflect my continued learning. I am going to share that updated version here because I think it is important...
At the end of the American Revolutionary War, there were two categories of people living in America: the American people and the "inhabitants" who stayed behind to provide services. These inhabitants were European (mainly British) loyalists who continued to work for the Crown. They have been here ever since.
As part of the treaties ending the war, the Americans contracted with the British king to defend them. They had no navy, and the king had the biggest one in the world, while the Americans had all of the resources the Europeans needed. The Americans established multiple "constitutions" (contracts for services) over a period of years to set up these arrangements. It's very complicated and requires study to understand.
The Roman Catholic Church established the various "jurisdictions" of global laws and governance. They are the Jurisdictions of the Soil, Land, Sea and Air. They also invented corporations. Trusts have been around for a long time.
Soil Jurisdiction is the top six inches of soil. People are born onto the soil. Their bodies ultimately come from the soil and return to the soil. Those who are born onto the Soil Jurisdiction are sovereign, at least Americans are. It dates back to the Norman Conquest of 1066. Go read and study. American Common Law is the "Law of the Land" and Soil, and it is based on the Ten Commandments. Soil Jurisdiction is national and defines the actual, physical states and their boundaries.
A Soil Jurisdiction County Sheriff is the top peacekeeper within the bounds of that county. Working with a county Jural Assembly, he can deputize as many people as necessary and has more authority than anyone -- more than any state-of-state governor, military general or even any President of The United States of America. This is the opposite of what we have been taught and is part of the checks-and-balances the Founders established. Corporation employee sheriffs and law enforcement officers only have authority over their own corporation's employees and have the same authority as a [shopping] mall security guard. They are under the authority of the Soil Jurisdiction County Sheriff.
Land Jurisdiction is everything under the soil and under the seas. It is international. Each American state is a sovereign nation, so activities between the states are international.
Sea Jurisdiction is anywhere there is navigable water and is where forms of Admiralty Law are imposed. It is also international. You cannot be on the Soil/Land Jurisdiction and the Sea Jurisdiction at the same time.
"Trade" takes place in national and international jurisdictions. Living people trade with each other and with corporations, but they cannot operate in "commerce."
Air Jurisdiction is global. Commerce takes place in Global Jurisdiction. Corporations operate in commerce. All entities in commerce are fictional, dead, and have no rights.
If you have incorporated your business, and are an LLC, non-profit, or similar, you are operating in commerce. All corporations are ultimately chartered by the Holy See, which is part of the Holy Roman Empire. This means the Pope owns your business. When you "register" something, as you do when you charter a corporation, you give ownership of it to who you are registering it with.
For example, when you register your car with the Secretary Of State, you are giving your car to the State of Michigan, or STATE OF MICHIGAN. Just look at your "license plate." It says "michigan" on it in some form, doesn't it? That means "michigan" (the corporation you registered with) owns your car. Not you. Remember how Jesus said, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's? (Matthew 22:21) This is what he was talking about.
Birth certificates are part of a fraud that conveys people into the Jurisdiction of the Sea and then into the MUNICIPAL Jurisdiction of the Air. This is why our courts don't work for us the way they should, and why we are subject to so many rules and regulations. Read and learn.
A "citizen" is someone who owes service to a government. If you are an employee of a federal government services corporation, or one of their franchises, you are either a "U.S. Citizen" and a subject of the British Monarch (Sea) or a "citizen of the United States"2 and a SLAVE of the Roman Pontiff (Air). If you are on the Soil/Land, you can operate as a State Citizen and work for the actual, sovereign American Government, and you can enjoy all of your "constitutional rights." You are also the boss (employer) of the British and Papist government-service providers. Let that sink in.
People have the right to declare their own political status, meaning they can choose to operate in the Jurisdiction of the Soil/Land where they were born, or where they intend to live, but they must make it known on the public record. If they don't, the courts will assume they are in the Jurisdiction of the Sea or the Jurisdiction of the Air, or both, because that is what the public record says, starting with the birth certificate. "Voter" registration, drivers and marriage licenses and income tax filings add to that public record and give evidence of "citizenship." Being in the Jurisdiction of the Sea means the "person" (a Foreign Situs Trust on the High Seas) is subject to Admiralty Law, that they are legally dead and they have no rights. Being in the MUNICIPAL Jurisdiction of the Air means they are a SLAVE (an incorporated Cestui Que Vie Trust, Public Transmitting Utility, Special Purpose Vehicle, or whatever other CORPORATION IDENTITY the Pope's Boyz dream up...), legally dead and have no rights. This has a lot of implications. Read and learn.
For proof of this, look at "your name" on your drivers license. Is it in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS? That's a name of a CORPORATION. It's not your name even though it looks like it is. We've all been spoofed; it's identity theft!
The Founders established "The United States" in 1776 with the Declaration of Independence, which is a union of physical states and holds the National Soil Jurisdiction. State Nationals (people) populate it and they are Private Persons. They are sovereign and can do whatever they please provided they obey and uphold the Public Law. Libertarians, this is your dream come true, and it's available to you if you simply correct your status!
They also established "The United States of America" in 1776 and it holds the International Jurisdictions, both land and sea. State Citizens (People) operate it and they are Lawful Persons.
Several years later (1781), they established the Confederation of "States of States" to conduct business (commerce) in Global Jurisdiction (air).
These three entities have always been UNcorporated, and they were all established before any "constitutions" were written. Unincorporated entities can never claim bankruptcy. The actual American Government is not, and CAN NOT, go bankrupt.
The first Constitution was established in 1787 and it created the Federal American Government doing business as "the" States of America. It was established as a republic and was UNincorporated. Nineteen (19) powers were granted to it by "The Constitution for the united States of America," a contract for government services. It operated in parts of the International Land and Sea Jurisdictions.
To fulfill peace treaties resulting from the Revolutionary War, a second Constitution was established in 1789 with the British Monarch and it created the Territorial Government doing business as "the" United States of America. That government-services provider was established as a democracy and was initially UNincorporated, too, although that changed later. "The Constitution of the United States of America" granted it authority to run the navy and trade policies. The people didn't like this but it was a compromise that had to be accepted to end the war.
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 of the Territorial3 (second) Constitution was intended to create a place to meet and conduct government business and it established the MUNICIPAL government of the District of Columbia doing business as "the" United States. It was established with the Roman Church (Pope) as a plenary oligarchy, which means those running it could do whatever they wanted. The MUNICIPAL Government's operations are based on Roman Civil Law and UCC COMMERCIAL Law, and its employees are SLAVES. Literally. "The Constitution of the United States" (1790) is effectively a list of corporate by-laws that are not ratified by the States (Soil/Land). The MUNICIPAL Congress is supposed to only have authority inside the "ten miles square" borders of the District of Columbia, but they have usurped well beyond that.
If you watch C-SPAN carefully you can notice when the Congress changes jurisdictions to operate in either Territorial mode or MUNICIPAL mode.
The British tried to take back their former colonies in 1812. They bombarded the fort at Baltimore in hopes of invading and splitting the country in two. They failed. They later colluded with the Popes to overthrow the Americans by more subtle means.
The Founders did not trust lawyers, and specifically outlawed BAR attorneys from participating in the sovereign, unincorporated Federal Republic. It was part of the original document and was also made more explicit by an amendment.
The Territorial United States of America does allow BAR attorneys. They are actually employed by the British Crown and have titles of nobility, such as "esquire." This territorial version includes all fifty states and seven territories, making a total of "57 states." It turns out Barak Obama did know what he was talking about when he cited "57 states." He was actually in charge of them all.
Abraham Lincoln was a BAR attorney. He was never president of the sovereign United States of America, unincorporated, but he was CEO of the United States of America corporation, and he was employed by the Crown of England.
The "American Civil War" was not a declared war by the sovereign American people. They never had anything to do with it. It was a mercenary conflict between the Territorial government-services provider sponsored by the British king (North) and the MUNICIPAL one sponsored by the Pope (South). It was about cotton -- Egyptian cotton, not getting rid of slavery -- that's propaganda. Read and learn.
The sovereign American government established by the Declaration of Independence has been in existence since the Civil War, but barely. The people who knew what was going on kept it alive. The "employees" of that sovereign government usurped authority and power and have operated all levels of US government, although that has recently changed. The "federal" corporations created "franchises" (like McDonald's has franchises) that appear and act like state, county and municipal governments. They are all corporations, and that is very significant. Go read and learn.
The "elections" we "vote" in are corporation proxy elections. We are voting our proxies, like we sometimes get in the mail from our mutual fund service providers. That's all. They are NOT the elections we are owed. The people we "vote in" are actually controlled by the foreign interests, whether they realize it or not. That is why they never do what they promised they would do when they campaigned for office. Some are corrupt, and some are simply uninformed, but you can bet that the ones running the show are compromised and controlled.
Donald Trump was the CEO of two defunct, bankrupt government services corporations, and was probably the first one who actually knew what he was doing. They were both foreign-owned, and so were all of their franchises, until they all went bankrupt. The people behind all of this thought they were going to claim everything (in the entire world) when this happened, but the Priority Creditors (the sovereign American people) showed up and said, "Not so fast." The American sovereigns now own it all, and the "grandma in Alaska" is the "fiduciary" of The United States of America, which means she is their spokesperson and is acting for them. THAT's why her articles are so interesting and important!
All Americans must learn and understand these things, as should people of the entire world. They are complicated, but in essence they are simple. The criminals who are responsible for this mess made it complicated and made people's lives "busy" and "distracted" so they would be ignorant and not figure out their crimes. These are absolutely crimes, and yes they have been trying to kill off their Priority Creditors, like they did in Europe during WWII.
There are things we must all do, but first we must understand our history and how things are supposed to work. Then we must each be responsible and do our parts.
Here are some additional points:
The MUNICIPAL United States and its franchises were under a mandatory 90 day shutdown during mid-2020 as part of their bankruptcy, and that is why everything was shut down during that period.
The U.S. Military has been running the government of this country since the Civil War. That is why there are"Lieutenant Governors,"4 "Inspector Generals," and various "Districts" that are not defined in any constitution.
The actual American Government officially declared the American Civil war at an end as of August 1, 2021, which eliminated any excuses about emergencies and states of war. The actual American People and their Government have not been at war since 1814.
The entire "virus" fiasco was fraudulent and a manipulation of the people of the world to get them to do things.
The Russians invaded Ukraine to clear out bioweapons labs and shut down criminal activities. They do not intend to go past established borders and will return home when the job is done.
The criminals who are responsible for this mess have "pulled the plug" on the United States and intend to set up shop in China to do the same to them as they did to America. That is why inflation is taking off and the stock markets are crashing.
So, the employees have usurped authority from their employers. The People are sovereign, but the governments are acting like sovereigns and lording it over the People.
This is exactly what the Darkness has done. They have usurped authority from Jesus and are lording it over Mankind. But all authority has been given to Jesus. All authority. If we join him as his apprentices, we can force the Darkness to withdraw, just like Americans can enforce the constitutions on their employees, provided they reclaim their political status on the public record.
I hope what we are all seeing happen in the visible world will help us understand what is going on in the spiritual realm, so we can "reclaim our status" with God.

UPDATE, July 31, 2022...
2 Anyone who is seeking asylum in the United States is a "citizen of the United States" and they have no rights. None.
Please read this article, and others at the website it is from. Here is a small quote...
In point of law and fact, Social Security was limited to Federal Employees and was introduced as a Federal Pension Program, however, it contained some tricky legal language that let federal welfare benefit seekers and federal political asylum seekers sign up and participate in the program, too.
All these people --- federal welfare recipients and federal political asylum seekers and Federal Civil Service Employees are "citizens of the United States" [Municipal Government] by definition.
Most people do not know this, including most U.S. Citizens. I only know it because the Holy Spirit led me to read the articles at this website. Any foreigner who is seeking asylum will not know this, and the attorneys who are assigned to them are BAR attorneys, which are foreign agents working for The Crown of England and are in the business of collecting money for their Queen.
People come to America thinking they will have freedom of speech and freedom of religion, but that is absolutely wrong. At best, they can have "equal civil rights," but those can be taken away at any time. Most Americans have the same problem because they have been unlawfully converted out of the jurisdiction they were born into.
Things are definitely not as they seem. The prince of this world loves to have it so.
UPDATE, August 14, 2022...
Here is a fun, short video describing some of these things. Meet Your Strawman! It is from a British perspective, but applies to all countries. Enjoy!
UPDATE, August 26, 2022...
The man in this video is an American State National and he summarizes what I have written about above, plus he tells you at the end what it means to reclaim your status and generally how to do it. He also reveals some very, very interesting things about history that will probably shock you.
The video is quite long (2 hours and 36 minutes), but it is quite compelling and very interesting, even though it is just some old guy talking at a table. I think it is fascinating. Enjoy!
UPDATE, September 1, 2022...
Jural Assemblies are the organizational units of land and soil jurisdiction courts. Living people are born onto the land and soil, and they deserve these courts.
Anna von Reitz is the fiduciary of The United States of America, which is a federation of independent states operating in international jurisdictions.
She wrote a series of articles for the Jural Assemblies, and they were eventually collected into a Jural Assembly Handbook. I printed off all of the pages of that handbook and put them into a binder, and then I read through them all. I keep it for reference. I suggest everyone do the same. It is an excellent summary of how the American Government is supposed to work, and will eventually work, once we all correct our political statuses and do our jobs of running our own government.
A "fiduciary" is: "a person to whom property or power is entrusted for the benefit of another." As fiduciary of The United States of America, Anna acts as their spokesperson and advocate with international courts, government-service providers, other governments, and anyone else who has business with The United States of America. She is the sole person who took the necessary steps to claim the land and soil of all american states for all Americans so those things could not be falsely claimed by others. This is extremely important.
You will not hear about this on any media outlets because they are all controlled propaganda. Anna's website and all other websites associated with the American States Assemblies are rather clunky and rudimentary because they are operating "on a shoestring" and cannot afford slick presentations. Frankly, presentation is not important. What is important is our own critical thinking and taking the initiative to save our own lives, fortunes, and sacred honor. Some things never change.
All of Anna's articles are published at https://annavonreitz.com. At this point, it is probably best to read and monitor the most recent ones, which are located at the bottom of the list.
UPDATE, September 3, 2022...
The Bible says all authority has been given to Jesus. Since I am his apprentice, I need to understand how that authority actually works.
Jesus is the King of Israel. Logically, if he is my King, then I am part of Israel ...his Israel, not some other Israel created by men. I need to understand what Jesus' Israel is, hence my discussion at the top of this post.
Paul observed...
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. (Romans 13:1 ESV)
Paul was a Roman, and he lived under the rule of Rome. So did Jesus. So do we, as I have discussed, above.
I encourage others to do the same.
UPDATE, November 13, 2022...

This video describes how the carnal systems of authority work in this world.
UPDATE, December 2, 2022...
Americans living on the Land and Soil Jurisdictions are in the "C" location. That is the best place to be.
"Signs" are a key part of this. They appear to be in English, but they are not. That is what deceives people.
This whole thing is a counterfeit, but it is unfortunately the way the Western World currently works. We must understand it enough to position ourselves to our best advantage.
This system usurps the authority of Scripture to justify itself. It existed long before The Father had revealed any Scripture. This is all just an ancient trick used by evil people to enrich themselves. The Darkness is cunning, but not very creative.
The "God" and "Christ" of this system are taken from Scripture, ... but they are not the ones described by Scripture. This is another example of people taking things from the Bible out of context.
In the video, the teacher says that Christ tells us to read the signs. Apparently, men have used these passages and the authority of "Christ" to justify the "signs" they make within their own systems. But is that the kind of "sign" Jesus was talking about?
Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now something greater than Jonah is here. The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, and now something greater than Solomon is here. (Matthew 12:38-42 NIV)
The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.
He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Jesus then left them and went away. (Matthew 16:1-4 NIV)
The Bible is talking about miraculous signs. Jesus gave an especially good one to those he loved...
So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”
When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face.
Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”
Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him. But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.
“What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this man performing many signs. If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our temple and our nation.” (John 11:41-48 NIV)
The Darkness does not want people to see the kind of signs Jesus performs. It does not want people believing in those things. It must distract. It must come up with its own "signs."
I think the guy who did this video is a very good teacher. If you have not watched it, you should!
Pay particular attention to what he says about "church goers" near the end of the video. You may not like it, but probably need to hear it.

5 Anna von Reitz made the lawful maneuvers to prevent criminals from stealing all the assets of the land and soil jurisdictions from the Americans. This is crucial, and it is why she is so important. You can learn this by reading her articles on her website. She is very knowledgeable, experienced, a great teacher, and a wise mentor.
Saying that, she occasionally shares her opinions about spiritual matters, and when she does I often find her inconsistent and sometimes in error. I believe she discredits herself in the eyes of many people when she does this, and I suspect it undermines her efforts. She has a right to her opinions, of course. As an American, she has unalienable rights.
The Bible tells us to test everything we hear, to hold on to what is good and reject every kind of evil. I discussed this in one of my early posts, S.W.A.T. (Spiritual Weapons and Tactics).
I will leave it to you to read Anna's writings and decide for yourself what to cling to and what to reject. It is what Yeshua expects us to learn how to do.
UPDATE, June 27, 2024...
Here is an example of one of Anna's articles where I think she is in error: AVR #4912.
She correctly observes Jacob was a scoundrel and most of his descendants were unfaithful idolators. She also correctly states the current "Israel" in the Middle East has nothing to do with Yehoshua's Israel, and the current shenanigans going on with the business entities claiming that name are fraudulent and ridiculous.
But I am concerned her biblical logic is lacking and flawed, and she does not seem to recognize God is Sovereign and can do whatever he pleases. God knows Jacob far better than she does, and it is dangerous for her to judge The Creator's decisions. I believe she does this because her understandings are based on Gentile Teachings, and she needs the Gospel. In all of her writings, I see no evidence she has it. That is my opinion, and I pray for her to be given Grace and Understanding.

3 It was actually the American Federal Constitution of 1787 that established this, not the Territorial Constitution of 1789. More knowledge has been shared and learned since I wrote this, and we have yet to see the actual copies of the 1789 and 1790 Constitutions. It was the American Federal Republic that established the place for people to meet on the shores of the Potomac River, not the Subcontractors.
6 Changed this link to an Internet archive and included a search for the word "lieutenant".
Renumbered the footnotes to keep the red references in numerical order.
