Louis Emanuel Lomax was an African-American journalist and author. He was one of the first African-Americans to appear as a television journalist.

Lomax was born in Valdosta, Georgia, to Emanuel C. Smith and Sarah Lomax. He attended Paine College in Augusta, Georgia, where he became editor of the school’s newspaper before graduating in 1942. He later pursued graduate studies at American University, where he was awarded an M.A. in 1944, and later earned a Ph.D. at Yale University in 1947.

Lomax began his journalism career at the Afro-American and the Chicago Defender, both of which focused on news geared towards African-American readers. In 1958, he became the first African-American television journalist at WNTA-TV in New York. Lomax later worked as a freelance writer and produced several articles for different publications including, The Nation, Harper’s, and The New Leader.

In 1959, he told one of his colleagues, Mike Wallace about the Nation of Islam. Together they worked on a project and produced a five-part documentary about the organization, The Hate That Hate Produced, which aired during the week of July 13, 1959. It was during this time that white people first heard about the Nation and its leader, Elijah Muhammad, and Malcolm X.

Lomax was a great supporter of several civil rights organizations, including the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). In 1968, he signed the “Writers and Editors War Tax Protest” pledge, vowing to refuse tax payments in protest against U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. Lomax died in 1970 in a car accident.

    Hey, how’s it going?

    I want to pass along some very important news that everyone needs to hear!

    In December of 2017, Donald Trump made history by recognizing Jerusalem as the captial of Israel. Why is this big news? Because by this the Jewish people of Israel are now able to press forward in bringing about the Third Temple prophesied in the Bible.

    The Jewish people deny Jesus as their Messiah and have stated that their Messiah has been identified and is waiting to be revealed. They say this man will rule the world under a one world religion called “spiritualism”.

    They even printed a coin to raise money for the Temple with Donald Trumps face on the front and with king Cyrus'(who built the second Temple) behind him. On the back of the coin is an image of the third Temple.

    The Bible says this false Messiah who seats himself in the Third Temple will be thee antichrist that will bring about the Great Tribulation, though the Jewish people believe he will bring about world peace. It will be a false peace for a period of time. You can watch interviews of Jewish Rabbi’s in Israel speaking of these things. They have their plans set in place. It is only years away!

    More importantly, the power that runs the world wants to put a RFID microchip in our body making us total slaves to them. This chip matches perfectly with the Mark of the Beast in the Bible, more specifically Revelation 13:16-18:

    He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

    Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

    Referring to the last days, this could only be speaking of a cashless society, which we have yet to see, but are heading towards. Otherwise, we could still buy or sell without the mark amongst others if physical money was still currency. RFID microchip implant technology will be the future of a one world cashless society containing digital currency. It will be implanted in the right-hand or the forehead, and we cannot buy or sell without it! We must grow strong in Jesus. AT ALL COSTS, DO NOT TAKE IT!

    Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” (Revelation 14:9-11).

    People have been saying the end is coming for many years, but we need two key things. One, the Third Temple, and two, the technology for a cashless society to fulfill the prophecy of the Mark of the Beast.

    .Thanks to this great man. He wrote, “When the Word is Given.” Prior to reading his book, I was a follower of MLK. (I was about 15-16.) Once is read his book, I WAS NEVER THE SAME. I didn’t think the same, I didn’t act the same, I didn’t even look the same. His book transformed my ENTIRE LIFE, FOR THE BETTER
