SHOCK AND AWE

For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.

Matthew 24:

21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.

29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

1 Thessalonians 4:

15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.

Revelation 20:

4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.

THIS IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION. 

6 Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.

DELUSION

The content discusses the urgent need for a truthful understanding of scripture amidst widespread delusion and deception. It critiques modern churches that emphasize positive messages over the principles of God’s wrath and judgment, warning of a false sense of security. The author highlights biblical examples of unheeded warnings and consequences.

2 Thessalonians 2:9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe THE LIE, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Delusion and deception are everywhere. As I face the lies, I hold to one truth. The Bible says what it means and means what it says. Yes, even that understanding can and has been taken too far by some. Any truth, taken to an extreme, becomes a lie. Yet the Bible, understood as one would understand any book, is the truth. On this I stand.

Pastors stand in their pulpits and speak of how God led them to this passage or that and how God led them to preach on this particular subject. That sounds so holy and righteous that we sit in awe and listen to the message God has given our pastor. There is, however, a problem to that… I have noticed that in almost every case, God leads them to preach happy sermons on happy verses. That is interrupted by the appearance of sermons on tithing when the church treasury is falling behind. Sometimes it appears to me that not tithing is the only sin committed by the parishioners; it is certainly the only sin that God leads his pastors to preach against.

This has led to today’s very lopsided church. We see and understand the love, mercy and grace of God but we cannot comprehend the wrath, judgment, holiness and righteousness of God. Our God neither sees nor judges sin, and He certainly does not call his children to repentance or punish them when they are disobedient.

Revelation 3: 14 “And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God’s creation.

15 “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. 17 For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.

What God says of the church in Laodicea is certainly appropriate and easy to apply to the church of today. Many scholars have seen the order of the seven churches as being chronological and historical. If that is so, Laodicea would represent the church of the last day, our church.

This deception has led many Christians to believe that Jesus died to save America and their cushy lifestyle. If you think I am wrong, watch a Trump Rally. We are overloaded with so called “CHRISTIAN PATRIOTS”. Our churches can tolerate abortion, transgenderism, and child genital mutilation… we can tolerate anything as long as they leave us alone. If I, or anyone else, start speaking of judgment or the fall of the United States, we are met by the unbelieving cries of “Shut Up! God loves America too much to ever judge her and she will never fall… God has sent Donald Trump to save us in our sin and empower us to continue in our sin… The God of the New Testament would never judge or destroy America; He is a God of Love, Grace and Mercy!”

2 Chronicles 7: 19 “But if you turn aside and forsake my statutes and my commandments that I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them, 20 then I will pluck you up from my land that I have given you, and this house that I have consecrated for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples. 21 And at this house, which was exalted, everyone passing by will be astonished and say, ‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?’ 22 Then they will say, ‘Because they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods and worshiped them and served them. Therefore he has brought all this disaster on them.’”

In the part of 2 Chronicles Chapter seven we never read, God promises to destroy Israel, and the Temple dedicated to his Name and to scatter his people. On the very day the Temple was dedicated, God Almighty promised to destroy it if they leave him and will not repent.

Jeremiah 14:11 The Lord said to me: “Do not pray for the welfare of this people. 12 Though they fast, I will not hear their cry, and though they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. But I will consume them by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.”

Lying Prophets

13 Then I said: “Ah, Lord God, behold, the prophets say to them, ‘You shall not see the sword, nor shall you have famine, but I will give you assured peace in this place.’” 14 And the Lord said to me: “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, worthless divination, and the deceit of their own minds.”

Ignoring everything God had said on the day the Temple was dedicated, the prophets in Israel held on to and promulgated “Happy Lies”. Jeremiah faced the same problem the Watchmen of today are facing; for every watchman, there are a hundred false prophets. And the people love the false prophets and hate the watchmen.

Jeremiah 14: 18 If I go out into the field,
    behold, those pierced by the sword!
And if I enter the city,
    behold, the diseases of famine!
For both prophet and priest ply their trade through the land
    and have no knowledge.’”

Today, as in Jeremiah’s day, being a pastor or a prophet can be a very good trade; it is good business. There are, however, rules that must be followed if one would eat well and live in a really nice house… You must preach only the “Happy Verses” and you must give only “Happy Words”. If you follow the rules, the offerings are large and your congregation grows… Break the rules, and you end up like Jeremiah… in the bottom of a well, looking up.

15:1 Then the Lord said to me, “Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my heart would not turn toward this people. Send them out of my sight, and let them go! 2 And when they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord:

“‘Those who are for pestilence, to pestilence,
    and those who are for the sword, to the sword;
those who are for famine, to famine,
    and those who are for captivity, to captivity.’

There comes a point of no return. Jeremiah preached the Word God gave him. The people did not listen but rather clung desperately to the words, dreams, and visions of their “Happy Priests” and their “Happy Prophets”. Everything Jeremiah said came true. The “Happy Prophets” suffered and died… Jeremiah lived. It is another story, but Jeremiah ended up with a remnant of Jews in Egypt. These Jews had seen the words of Jeremiah fulfilled in front of their eyes, yet when he gave them a message from God, there in Egypt, they looked him in the face and said, “We will not listen to you…” That group died… all of them, but Jeremiah would live to see another day.

Lamentations 2:
17 The Lord has done what he purposed;
    he has carried out his word,
which he commanded long ago;
    he has thrown down without pity;
he has made the enemy rejoice over you
    and exalted the might of your foes.

Then came Nebuchadnezzar… You really need to read the entire second chapter of Lamentations. We do not have time here, but Jeremiah is acting like a FOX reporter. He is walking through the streets of Jerusalem, reporting what he sees… There are dead bodies everywhere, women are killing and eating their own babies to try to avoid starvation… After surveying the whole situation, Jeremiah concludes: “The Lord has done what he purposed…”

Revelation 13: 5 And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, 8 and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain. 9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear:

10 If anyone is to be taken captive,

    to captivity he goes;

if anyone is to be slain with the sword,

    with the sword must he be slain.

Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.

That day is upon us, but the “Happy Prophets” and the “Happy Pastors” continue to spout off their lies… and the people love it!

Let me close with this warning to you, the Christian of today…

Jeremiah 14:14 …The Lord said to me: “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, worthless divination, and the deceit of their own minds.”

And to the Happy Prophets and Pastors of today, this warning…

Jeremiah 14:15 …Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name although I did not send them, and who say, ‘Sword and famine shall not come upon this land’: By sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed. 16 And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, victims of famine and sword, with none to bury them—them, their wives, their sons, and their daughters. For I will pour out their evil upon them.

You have been warned!

ENDURE OR DIE

The 70th week of Daniel, referred to as the Tribulation, began on October 2, 2024, Some two weeks after 193 nations submitted to a One World Government, unnoticed by many. The Church, likened to a slumbering virgin, risks missing the importance of persevering in faith amidst impending suffering and trials, ultimately determining one’s eternal fate.

I would argue that the 70th week of Daniel, known as the Tribulation, started on Rosh Hashanah, October 2nd, 2024. This new year began two weeks after 193 nations of the world signed a document placing their nations under the control of a One World Government…

And nobody saw it…

The Watchmen were blowing their trumpets and screaming at the top of their lungs… but nobody even flinched. Sunday came and they turned up the music and tried not to hear the terrible cries of those irritating watchman…

Like the virgins in the parable, the Church is asleep… fast asleep. The most important thing in life seems to be saving America and preserving the cushy American lifestyle…

When the church awakes and finally sees what is happening, it will be way to late for the foolish virgins… They will run to their Bibles… They will pray prayers of desperation…. They will scream, and cry, and pound on the gates of Heaven…

But the Bride Groom will say, “I never knew you!”

It is not those who trust in the doctrine of Eternal Security who will be saved… it is “he who endures to the end.”

Seven years of Hell on earth is a long time. You will be given every opportunity to recant and renounce Jesus… You will face the pains of starvation, incarceration, and execution…

If you are not ready now… you will not endure and you will not be saved…

Are you prepared to endure? Are you ready and willing to suffer and die for Jesus?

This is not about saving America and the world… This is about Heaven or Hell…

And the choice is yours…

Revelation 13:7 And he was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them. He was also given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation. 8 All those who live on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name was not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered.

9 If anyone has an ear, he should listen:

10 If anyone is destined for captivity,
into captivity he goes.
If anyone is to be killed with a sword,
with a sword he will be killed.

This demands the perseverance and faith of the saints.

Are you ready for that?

AMERICAN APOCALYPSE

The content suggests a prophecy likening the United States, particularly New York City, to Biblical Babylon. It outlines a sequence of catastrophic events leading to an “American Apocalypse,” culminating in a return of Christ. Key events include a monetary collapse, riots, Trump’s rise to power, and the establishment of a Palestinian state.

THERE IS NO NATION ON EARTH, other than
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
and
THERE IS NO CITY IN THE WORLD, other than
NEW YORK CITY
that could possibly match the description of
BABYLON
given in the book of
REVELATION
chapter eighteen…

Because it does not fall until the end (chapter 18) of the Tribulation, I perceive that the
GREAT AMERICAN APOCALYPSE
will not happen until very near to the end of the Tribulation.

Based on that observation, I would see the following as
THE MOST LOGICAL,
if not the only,
ORDER OF EVENTS.

1. A COLLAPSE OF THE MONETARY SYSTEM.
2. RIOTS AND COLLAPSE.
3. TRUMP ELECTED.
4. TRUMP GIVEN UNHEARD OF AUTHORITY AND POWER.
(To address and solve the emergency at hand)
5. ALMOST SUPERNATURAL, SPEEDY RECOVERY.
6. NEW DIGITAL CURRENCY.
7. CHIP, NATIONAL AND WORLDWIDE.
8. INABILITY TO BUY, SELL, TRADE, OR BARTER WITHOUT THE MARK.
9. TRUMP MAKES PEACE IN MIDDLE EAST. (SUPERNATURAL)
10. ISRAEL DIVIDED.
11. PALESTINIAN STATE ESTABLISHED.
12. THIRD TEMPLE BUILT.
13. TRUMP DOUBLE CROSSES ISRAEL.
14. TRUMP TURNS AGAINST SAINTS.
15. TRUMP OVERCOMES SAINTS.
16. TRUMP GIVEN AUTHORITY OVER EVERY TRIBE, TONGUE, AND NATION.
17. AMERICAN / BABYLONIAN APOCALYPSE.
18. RETURN OF CHRIST / FIRST RESURRECTION / RAPTURE.

THAT IS NOT PROPHECY… THE FOLLOWING IS PROPHETIC!



The Fall of Babylon

REVELATION 18:

1 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was made bright with his glory. 2 And he called out with a mighty voice,

“Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!
She has become a dwelling place for demons,
a haunt for every unclean spirit,
a haunt for every unclean bird,
a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast.
3 For all nations have drunk
the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality,
and the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her,
and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.”

4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,

“Come out of her, my people,
lest you take part in her sins,
lest you share in her plagues;
5 for her sins are heaped high as heaven,
and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 Pay her back as she herself has paid back others,
and repay her double for her deeds;
mix a double portion for her in the cup she mixed.
7 As she glorified herself and lived in luxury,
so give her a like measure of torment and mourning,
since in her heart she says,
‘I sit as a queen,
I am no widow,
and mourning I shall never see.’
8 For this reason her plagues will come in a single day,
death and mourning and famine,
and she will be burned up with fire;
for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”

9 And the kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning. 10 They will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say,

“Alas! Alas! You great city,
you mighty city, Babylon!
For in a single hour your judgment has come.”

11 And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo anymore, 12 cargo of gold, silver, jewels, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all kinds of scented wood, all kinds of articles of ivory, all kinds of articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble, 13 cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls.

14 “The fruit for which your soul longed
has gone from you,
and all your delicacies and your splendors
are lost to you,
never to be found again!”

15 The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,

16 “Alas, alas, for the great city
that was clothed in fine linen,
in purple and scarlet,
adorned with gold,
with jewels, and with pearls!
17 For in a single hour all this wealth has been laid waste.”

And all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off 18 and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning,

“What city was like the great city?”

19 And they threw dust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out,

“Alas, alas, for the great city
where all who had ships at sea
grew rich by her wealth!
For in a single hour she has been laid waste.
20 Rejoice over her, O heaven,
and you saints and apostles and prophets,
for God has given judgment for you against her!”

21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying,

“So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence,
and will be found no more;
22 and the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters,
will be heard in you no more,
and a craftsman of any craft
will be found in you no more,
and the sound of the mill
will be heard in you no more,
23 and the light of a lamp
will shine in you no more,
and the voice of bridegroom and bride
will be heard in you no more,
for your merchants were the great ones of the earth,
and all nations were deceived by your sorcery.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints,
and of all who have been slain on earth.”

QUESTION EVERYTHING

Perhaps the dumbest thing Christians ever do is to assume that what they were taught about the Scripture, is Scripture…

Did you know that it is okay to question God?

Perhaps the dumbest thing Christians ever do is to assume that what they were taught about the Scripture, is Scripture…

We seem incapable of even questioning the assumptions and presuppositions upon which our beliefs are constructed. Every denomination and group within the Christian Church has “Special Doctrines” and Super Truths, those questionable doctrines they will tell you that represent a truth misunderstood by all of the Christians in the whole world, except, of course, their group… These are the things that make a Methodist fear to enter a Baptist Church and terrifies Baptists when they even think about Pentecostal churches…

More than that, it makes it impossible for many Christians to question or challenge the eschatology they were taught back in 1968…

Let me give you a hint… If your church or denomination is the only group in the world that believes something… You absolutely, positively, must question it… The reason nobody else believes it is because it is questionable!

On the End Times and Eschatology, I, like many of you, learned all about it a very long time ago. My teachers believed what they were teaching, and I believed my teachers…

Most of it was wrong… very, very wrong!

I wrote a book called “Allah’s Jesus”. It is still for sale on Amazon. I do not believe a word of it now. Someone pointed out to me that in the Bible, the Antichrist deceives Jews, Christians, the State of Israel and his deception threatens even the Elect of God… Suddenly, it dawned on me that no Muslim could ever accomplish that!

I believed, strongly, in a PreTrib rapture… Then, someone challenged me to prove it with Scripture… I was totally confused and stressed for weeks, as I tried to prove it. After a while, I came to understand that while belief in a pretrib rapture calmed my fears and made me happy, it simply was not Biblical.

C. S. Lewis was a sceptic. He was a PhD, and a full professor at Oxford University. He was saved and brought to full faith in Jesus when he started to write a book disproving the resurrection of Jesus… His Questions found solid answers… He proved, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Jesus did indeed rise from the dead…

It is Okay… It is necessary to question everything… If it is real, you will find that it is real. If it is wrong, you will find out why it is wrong.

If you love truth… you will ask questions!

David…

THE BLOODY REMNANT

The teaching of a Great Worldwide Revival in the end days is based on the misinterpretation of Matthew 24:14. In context, the verse does not support such a teaching. Scripture speaks of an end times struggle and the endurance of a small remnant of Christians, emphasizing suffering, martyrdom, and the refinement of the Bride of Christ.

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

There is a false and misleading teaching that there will be, in the end days, a Great Worldwide Revival…

That teaching is based entirely on this one verse, Matthew 24:14, because it is the one and only verse in Scripture that would appear to almost, sort of, kind of like, support that teaching…

The problem is that, read and understood in context, even this verse says no such thing… I challenge you to read the verse as a part of the entire chapter and to try to understand it in its full context.

In order to make this verse speak of a massive, end times revival, one must rip it from context, isolate it, enlarge and inflate it, and with great eisegetical form, reinterpret it, adding a great deal of wishful thinking…

Scripture, including Matthew 24, speaks of an end times struggle and a small remnant of Christians who endure to the end and refuse the Mark of the Beast… It speaks to the suffering, death, and martyrdom of the Saints.

Scripture speaks of the Martyrs under the throne being told to wait a little longer until THE FULL NUMBER OF SAINTS HAVE BEEN KILLED, EVEN AS THEY WERE!

Scripture says of the Beast that “HE WAS GIVEN AUTHORITY TO MAKE WAR AGAINST THE SAINTS AND TO OVERCOME THEM”!

It is “HE WHO ENDURES TO THE END WHO WILL BE SAVED”

Modern preachers simply do not like endurance, or suffering, or martyrdom… It lowers attendance and empties the collection plates… So, they fill their churches with itchy eared people and they preach happy and imaginative sermons based on isolated happy verses, and full of fear calming, wishful thinking…

Fear calming, happy sermons, full of wishful thinking, built with careful eisegesis, will damn many a wannabe Christian to a Devil’s Hell…

The Bride of Christ will be refined, as gold, in the refiner’s fire… God wants a pure and holy bride for his Son, not a big one…

But preachers, more than anyone else, hate the refiner’s fire!

Think about it!

TRIBULATION COMES

The Promise of God is not that He will keep you from Tribulation but that He will go through the tribulation with you and take you to Glory with him when it is finished…  

TRIBULATION COMES

Matthew 24:

29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Revelation 13:

5 And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, 8 and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain. 

9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear:

10 If anyone is to be taken captive,
    to captivity he goes;
if anyone is to be slain with the sword,
    with the sword must he be slain.

Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.

Paul writes:

1 Corinthians 15:

51 Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. 

John, the Apostle, wrote:

Revelation 11:15

Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.”

Revelation 19:

6 Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,

“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God
    the Almighty reigns.
7 Let us rejoice and exult
    and give him the glory,
for the marriage of the Lamb has come,
    and his Bride has made herself ready;
8 it was granted her to clothe herself
    with fine linen, bright and pure”—

for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.

9 And the angel said[a] to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.” 10 Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

Revelation 20:

4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. 

In the light of these Scriptures, I would suggest to you that you have been lied to and taught a doctrine which calms your fears and feeds your daydreams, but violates both common sense and plain Scripture…

  • Ten of the original Apostles died as martyrs.
  • Stephen was stoned.
  • James lost his head.
  • Peter was crucified upside down.
  • Paul suffered tremendous persecution and died a martyr.
  • More than seventy million Christians have been martyred.
  • More than 16,000 Christians have been martyred in Nigeria over the last four years.

The lives of Christians are even now threatened in almost every nation in the world. The idea that Jesus is somehow obligated to rapture the church before any American Christians are called on to suffer or die for Jesus is absurd and narcissistic.

Paul, who would lose his head in a Roman prison, wrote these words:

Philippians 3:

8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

In the light of all of these things, some will continue to cling to happy doctrines and be deceived and drug into Hell by the great deceiver himself…

2 Thessalonians 2:

9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

If you insist on holding on to false and deceptive doctrine, you will receive the delusion sent from God, you will believe the lie, and you will be damned because you refused to love the truth and decided to defend your doctrine instead…

It is he who endures to the end who will be saved… He who holds on to the false hope of an early rapture is not going to make it…

The Promise of God is not that He will keep you from Tribulation but that He will go through the tribulation with you and take you to Glory with him when it is finished…

A CONTINUUM OF FAITH

Christianity is full of extremes, is there a Biblical middle ground?

Christianity is full of extremes. Some extremes are left and liberal, others are right and religious… How do we find the middle ground? If Bible Truth is the center, the further out you go to either side, the closer you get to heresy… Calvin or Arminius? Hebrew Roots and old fashioned Pentecostalism on one side, Hyper Grace, the NAR and Christian Nationalism on the other. Do you have to be on one extreme or the other, or is there a Biblical middle ground?

CHOOSE WHOM YOU WILL SERVE

…the same devil who inspired Hitler to kill the Jews, then saved the Jews and fulfilled God’s promise…

People keep sending me videos that claim that the same devil who inspired Hitler to kill the Jews, then saved the Jews and fulfilled God’s promise to the Jews by returning the Jews to the Land God promised them.

Now they insist that God hates the people the devil inspired Hitler to kill, the same people whom the devil then saved by fulfilling God’s promise of returning them to the land.

They would insist that God would have me stand firmly with Satan, Allah, Hamas, the Palestinians, and Muslims everywhere, and insist that the Jews whom Satan first tried to exterminate but then saved and returned to the land, must now be destroyed and driven from the Land God promised them but Satan gave them.

Seriously, and they insist that I do it in Jesus Name!

  • God promised to return the Jews to the land He promised Abraham’s descendants.
  • He promised to do it a second time.
  • He promised to do it in the last days.
  • The Jews have returned to the land.
  • This is the second time.
  • These are the end days.
  • You may believe that Satan has fulfilled a promise that God made.
  • You may believe that Satan rescued the people Hitler tried to exterminate.
  • You may believe that Satan now hates the Jews whom he returned to the land.
  • You may believe that Allah and Hamas are trying to destroy the people Satan rescued and steal the land Satan gave them.
  • You may choose to believe that while God promised it, Satan did it, and now the God of Mohammad and Hitler is trying to destroy the people he put there.

As for me, I choose to believe that God did what He promised to do and that Satan, the moon god Allah, Hamas, a few misguided Americans, A New York City Cult leader, Satanists, Luciferians, and a few misguided wannabe Christians are angry.

You are free to follow Allah, Mohammad, and Satan. You are free to follow the devil himself…

Really, you are free to believe that Satan caused Hitler to attempt the extermination of the Jews, then rescued the Jews and returned them to the Land God promised them and that he now hates them and is trying to destroy the people he rescued and expel them from the land he placed them in…

If you want to believe that, go for it!!!

As for me and my house, we will follow the God of Israel!
