SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE ABYSS, A SUPERNATURAL DESCENT.

It is about to get supernatural.

If you loved Superman, Batman and Spider-Man, you should love the days to come. Dead men, their bodies incarnated by demon spirits, will soon appear, some with super hero strength and demonic evil, others simply the mindless bodies depicted in the Zombie movies. There will be fairies and horses with human heads, some men will have wings and fly…

As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be… They shall marry and be given in marriage… “They”? Who are they? In Genesis six and in Enoch and Jasher, “they” were fallen angels… “They” will soon escape… “They” will return.

Revelation 9: 7 The appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle; and on their heads appeared to be crowns like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. 8 They had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions. 9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to battle. 10 They have tails like scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men for five months. 11 They have as king over them, the angel of the abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek he has the name Apollyon.

Apollyon is Apollo, is Horus, is Osiris, is Gilgamesh, is Nimrod.

Revelation 17:11 “The beast which was and is not, is himself also an eighth and is one of the seven, and he goes to destruction.”

The first world leader was Nimrod, a Gibborum, of mixed blood, three quarters Angel, one quarter human. His father was Lucifer and his mother half human half angel. This was Osiris of the Egyptians, cut in fourteen pieces by the evil Set, reconstructed by Isis who, in a convoluted story, was his mother, his sister and his wife, twice in two different bodies… The Bible calls him a Gibborum, a giant of mixed and tainted blood.

Such creatures were unredeemable but their souls could not die. Many of the Gibborum roam the earth and possess the bodies of fallen humans… we call them demons. Some of them, according to biblical and extrabiblical texts, were so bad that God chained them in darkness in a place called Tartarus or the Abyss… We are told that they have a king over them named Apollyon. We are told that they will escape.

The Devil, working through “Rational” Theologians, has spent more than five hundred years trying to convince the Church that everything in Scripture has a rational, logical and very un-supernatural explanation. If you believe that, you are damned from the beginning…

Jesus Christ is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. He is the Son of God and God himself. He was crucified, dead and buried. He was resurrected, ascended into Heaven, where we are told his wounds are still visible. Resurrected, He asked Thomas to place his hand in the wound on his side…

Lucifer is a copycat:

If Jesus is the First and the Last, Antichrist will be the first and the last world ruler… “one of the seven AND the eighth” Nimrod, the first, will be the last.

If Jesus is the Son of God, Antichrist will be the son of Lucifer. In every ancient legend, by every name he has ever used, in every society that has revered him, Nimrod / Osiris / Apollyon has been known as the son of Satan.

If Jesus was killed and resurrected, Antichrist will be killed and resurrected. Set killed Osiris, perhaps Seth killed Nimrod… He was dead and buried. He was reincarnated as Horus, the “virgin born” son of Isis. He went into the underworld and he will return, at the end, to rule the world.

If Jesus has wounds still visible above, Antichrist will have visible wounds. Osiris lost his right eye when he was killed. That is the eye printed on the U.S. One Dollar Bill. Scripture says that Antichrist will have a fatal head wound but he will live. Look for a world leader to be killed, visibly wounded in the head, perhaps losing his right eye. Look for a “resurrection” but the resurrected leader will display a permanent awful looking head wound. In truth, the soul of the man will be in Hell The bodiless spirit of Nimrod will become incarnate in the body and it will be animated by Lucifer.

Revelation 13:3 One of his heads appeared to be fatally wounded, but his fatal wound was healed. The whole earth was amazed and followed the beast.

At 1:38 in the trailer for the Spider-Man movie, released on 7/7/17,, the Washington Monument ejaculates…

I have been telling you for a very long time that the Washington monument is the penis of Osiris and the dome of the Capitol Building is the womb of Isis…

Today I see the Luciferian Elite showing the Penis of Osiris ejaculating…

I hate to be so gross and so direct but this is evil on steroids…

Do not forget how many movies and shows showed 9/11 before it happened…

Understand that Scripture says that Apollyon will escape. The Masons and all Luciferians believe that the Washington Monument and the Capitol Dome are powerful magic. They believe that Apollo will be incarnated in the body of a man lying in state under that dome…

So many signs…

Scripture tells us what to watch for. Jesus commanded us to watch… If you are not watching, you are living in rebellion and disobedience. If ignorance is your choice, I cannot stop you and God will not stop you but the consequences are awful…

Open your eyes!

David…

ON TRUMP, COMEY, AND THE DEVIL David A. Rice

Please remember the Devil…

As you watch James Comey perjure himself, and because his opening statement contradicts his previous testimony to Congress, he will perjure himself, please remember the Devil…

If you see this from a purely human point of view, you will quickly become confused and ensnared. Nothing you will see is real; nothing. Certainly, the players see it as real, and their future lies in the balance. People will win, people will lose and people will be hurt. In that sense, it is real. In a broader sense, it is not.

Let us start from the top and work our way down. Perhaps, placing things in order will help you to understand the twisted plot in this celestial puppet show. Not everything in the movie, THE MATRIX, was real but the premise is correct. What you perceive as reality is not. Your “reality” has been manufactured and sold by some very evil characters. The Bible is real. What you see with your eyes and hear with your ears is not. Most of your core beliefs are false. The sooner you accept that fact, the sooner you will be freed from the deception that engulfs you and in which you are drowning.

Before the beginning, before the time of Genesis 1:1, there was a war in Heaven. Long story but Lucifer, the “Covering Angel” and Heaven’s greatest musician, revolted and talked one third of Heaven’s Angels into joining the Revolution. That war rages on. It will not be complete until the end of the Millennial Reign when Lucifer (or Satan) is cast into the lake of fire. Battles often rage after a war has been decisively won by one side. The war has been won, there is no way for the loser to ever win, but troops on the ground continue to fight and die. Lucifer lost at Calvary, but the battle for the souls of men rages on. The last battle, as far as we are concerned, will be Armageddon. Even after that, at the end of the Millennium, Satan will be loosed to lead one final rebellion. As they used to say, “it ain’t over till it’s over.”

The Age of Reason has robbed you of the ability to perceive spiritual truth. As Westerners, we have learned to think in humanistic terms. Such a world view is not Christian and would have been unintelligible to the people in the Bible days. Paul wrote, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” As Westerners, we have been trained to think only in terms of “flesh and blood.”

2 Kings 6: 17 Then Elisha prayed, “Lord, please open his eyes and let him see.” So the Lord opened the servant’s eyes. He looked and saw that the mountain was covered with horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

18 When the Arameans came against him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, “Please strike this nation with blindness.” So He struck them with blindness, according to Elisha’s word. 19 Then Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will take you to the man you’re looking for.” And he led them to Samaria. 20 When they entered Samaria, Elisha said, “Lord, open these men’s eyes and let them see.” So the Lord opened their eyes. They looked and discovered they were in Samaria.

This is the world you probably never saw. This is the World that is playing out on your Television today.

Daniel 10:12 “Don’t be afraid, Daniel,” he said to me, “for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your prayers were heard. I have come because of your prayers. 13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for 21 days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me after I had been left there with the kings of Persia. 14 Now I have come to help you understand what will happen to your people in the last days, for the vision refers to those days.”

Not only do these spiritual beings exist, they are engaged in warfare. Unlike God’s Forces, Lucifer’s Forces are fallen creatures. The Devil’s side tend towards jealousy and infighting. The Enemy does not run a tight ship. There are, we know from both Biblical and extra-biblical sources (Enoch and others) that the world, after Babel, was divided into seventy nations, each under its own Spiritual Prince. These are fallen Principalities and they fight constantly. From such fights emanate human wars. Nations fight nations according to the fights between their Princes. There are now some two hundred nations in the world and each prince has several, for instance, it is probable that the Prince of Babylon controls the Vatican, England, the United States and perhaps others. Saudi Arabia and Iran are both Muslim nations but the Prince of Persia hates the Prince of Saudi Arabia with a purple passion.

These Jealous and evil spirits are now being confronted by Lucifer himself. It is, and has been Lucifer’s goal to unite the world as one, like it was before God divided it at Babel. Some of these Princes are on his side. The Prince of Babylon seems to sense that he will be a winner and that unification will give him even greater power. Smaller and less powerful Princes stand to lose everything. There is a war in the Heavens between those who are for the New World Order and those who are against it.

That war is playing out in Washington DC and on television screens around the world. There are very powerful spirits who do not want the New World Order. Their power over the United States and its people, is considerable. They are on the “Make America Great Again” team. There are other spirits who are equally powerful, who want to see the New World Order win… These spirits feel that they would have more power under such a system. These spirits are behind Comey and the Democratic Party; or so it seems.

There is a good chance that the Spirits behind Trump are pro New World Order and that they are only pretending to want to restore America. Often there are games of deceit played by these powers (they are demonic). People are easily fooled.

These principalities have a great amount of control over fallen men. Some of the Elite are descendants of the Nephilim. The control over these individuals is limitless. These spirits are Puppet Masters, manipulators of men. They use these men in a Puppet Show scripted in Hell. It is part of that show that played out today in the Comey hearings. Both Comey and Trump are puppets but they dance to different masters.

It is possible that Comey’s Puppet Master wants a New World Order and that Trump’s Puppet Master wants to maintain the United States. That could be the source of the conflict. I, however, do not believe that. I believe that both Comey’s and Trump’s Puppet Masters want a New World Order and that Trump’s Puppet Master believes that Trump will rule the world.

If they are on the same side, why the fight? If Democrats and Republicans are all for the New World Order, from whence comes the conflict? Did you ever see the actor playing the bad guy in a movie go out for drinks and dinner with the actor playing the hero? Ah! You are getting the picture now. The humans here may not, and probably do not know that they are puppets. The emotions, the deep-seated beliefs and the fight must seem very real to them. They too are Westerners, steeped in reason and convinced that spiritual powers do not exist. They do not know why they feel the way they do or act the way they do. They have no clue that they are puppets dancing on strings. The Principalities and Powers pulling the strings, have the script…

This fight, is designed by Lucifer, to destabilize and destroy the United States and make way for the New World Order. He must fight God and the Saints and he has to deal with petty demons who often rebel and do things in their own interest. That aside, Scripture tells us that he will win. There will be a New World Order. Babylon (that is us) will burn. Like a phoenix, the New World Order will rise out of the ashes of the United States.

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.

What you are witnessing is the end of a war that has been going on since before the beginning. We are in the final days. Lucifer will win and for seven years he will rule…

Then comes Armageddon…

P.S. Christian, you are not a puppet. You are a child of the Living God. You are in Christ and Christ is in you (the Hope of Glory).

THE FUTURE I SEE

You may not understand this but I am prepared to jump up and down and shout Glory Hallelujah, if I am wrong on some points.

David A. Rice

DISCLAIMER:

I learn from books. Books shape the way I think and the way I see the world. All the information I present here has come from books. There have been entire books written to prove the points I may make here with a single sentence. There have been books written to debunk the books from which I take my points. As a matter of fact, there have been books written to disprove the Bible and the Resurrection.

You can find a book that will “prove” anything you want to believe. What I believe is centered on the Bible and informed by a thousand books. I have never read a book, outside of the Bible, where I agreed with everything the author wrote. That does not happen. I believe nothing simply because someone said so. What I believe, I have processed through my brain and found to be logical and in line with the Word of God. A thousand books have informed my thoughts but my thoughts are my own and I alone am responsible for them.

This is what I see. I expect you to argue with me. You are not me. These are my thoughts, not yours. In many cases, I hope and pray that I am wrong and others are right. You may not understand this but I am prepared to jump up and down and shout Glory Hallelujah, if I am wrong on some points. Nonetheless, this is what I believe.

BACKGROUND:

There are two sides to everything. I believe that. I have read books that compare the United States with ancient Israel and predict our downfall because we have violated the oaths our Forefathers made in a little church at Ground Zero. I believe that is correct. I have read books that present strong and overwhelming evidence that our nation is the Babylon of End-Time Prophecy and that we will be destroyed for our evil. I agree with that. Some would argue that the two are mutually exclusive and that one has to be right and the other wrong. I don’t see it that way; I see them as complementary truths.

Did George Washington and members of Congress go into that church at what is now known as Ground Zero? Yes, history tells us that. Did they there make strong and binding oaths to Jehovah God? Yes, we have the transcripts of those vows. Did God take those oaths seriously? Of course, He did. Is it symbolic that the explosions of 9/11 destroyed everything around it but left that church standing? Of that I have no doubt. Are we like Israel? We are the only nation, outside of Israel, in all of history, to be dedicated to the God of Heaven, with solemn oaths, on the day of our founding. Will the breaking of those vows bring judgment? Absolutely.

There are a number of scholarly books that make a strong case that we are the Babylon of Revelation. I believe that.  These books point out many indisputable proofs that no other nation on earth could possibly fit the biblical descriptions of the daughter of Babylon and the Whore of Babylon. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, one should probably consider the evidence that it is a duck. We fit the description. They say that because of our great sin and because we have become the center of demonic evil over the whole world, the Judgment of a Holy God will soon fall on us. I find that logical and I believe it to be true.

Was George Washington a Christian? The strongest of evidence, including the testimony of at least two pastors would tell us that he was not. Why then did he make vows to the God of Heaven on the day of our nation’s founding? Because ninety percent of the people were Christian and the Church of Jesus Christ held tremendous power, spiritually, culturally and politically. The General was forced to play the game. He, therefore, in the name of the people of the United States, made the most solemn vows to the God of Heaven, promising that the people of the nation would always walk in obedience to God Almighty and conduct their affairs according to the Word of God. He went so far as to call down the judgment of God on the Nation should its people ever abandon their God. As the leader of a Christian People, the vows of their leader, no matter how pagan the man, were accepted by God. The judgment of God, called down on our heads by our first President, are already falling; one by one, by one.

At the same time, George Washington was a Mason. The god of masonry is Apollo, not Jehovah. His own Pastor said that the General was a deist and not a Christian. Jefferson cut and pasted his own Bible to make the Word of God conform to what he thought was right. That cut and pasted Bible is on display at Mount Vernon and copies may be purchased through Amazon dot Com. Ben Franklin was a member of the worst and most depraved secret societies in the world, in the US, in Britain and in France. He was the first publisher of pornography in the New World. Anyone who says that these men were Christian is a liar and the truth is not in them.

Our Government was founded by evil men, based on ancient Egyptian magic and Masonic principles. The noble sounding words found in the Declaration of Independence, come not from the Bible, but from Plato’s Republic and a Novel by Sir Francis Bacon, called THE NEW ATLANTIS. The whole idea of exactly thirteen independent colonies coming together as one, is straight out of Egyptian Magic and the religion of Osiris. The Government of the United States has always been pagan and evil. The goal of this nation was, from the very beginning, to undo Babel and form a foundation for a New World Order that would unite the whole world under a single government, with a single language and a single, very pagan, religion.

So, our nation consisted of a Christian people, ruled by a pagan government, forced to speak always as if it were Christian and sell a Luciferian idea as if it were from the God of the Christians. We were blessed and evil was contained and controlled because of the Church of Jesus Christ and the power of a Christian People. The games played by the Government were steeped in deceit. Master Masons rose through the ranks in every church and denomination. They convinced Christians that theirs was a Christian Nation and that God was Blessing because the Government was from God. That was a lie but the Church and the people bought it, hook, line and sinker. All but one of our Presidents was related to King John of England. They were family. This was an oligarchy. We voted, as if it were a democracy but the only candidates, at the Federal Level, were all in the family. We got to vote for Cousin Fred against Cousin Sam but it did not ever make any difference.

Today, the Church, for all intents and purposes, is dead. Christians hold no real power, culturally, politically or spiritually. The Government has come out of the closet. The evil that was for so long confined to back rooms and Masonic Temples, is out in the open for all to see. We are no longer a Christian People, governed by a pagan government, we are a pagan people ruled by a pagan government. Our connection to Israel is shattered. Our vows are broken. If we ever had a connection to the God of Heaven, that connection is long gone. Once, we were the People of God, ruled by the Government of Babylon. Today we are a Babylonian people, governed by the Government of Babylon.

We are now set up for a double Judgment. We have, as a people, violated the vows our first President made, in our name, to a Holy and Righteous God. We will be judged for exactly the same reason the Israel of God was judged and taken into captivity in Babylon. We are also facing Judgment based on the actions of our Government, taken now, in conjunction with her people. All of the judgment that the Bible promises against Babylon is about to fall on our head.

THE FUTURE:

I believe that Europe and the Orient are going to continue to weaken. I believe that Donald Trump is going to live up to his name and become, in real power if not in name, the ruler of the world. I believe that the United States is going to become greater and more powerful than she has ever been. We are going to become so much like Babylon that the strongest critics of America as Babylon will no longer be able to deny the fact. We will rule the world.

I believe that the wimpy, politically correct American is about to go the way of the dinosaur and the Dodo bird. We are going to become militaristic and strong. We will again have the highest standard of living in the world. The New World Order will find its very first capitol in Washington D.C. The Unification of the world will start here.

I believe that there will be a war. The goal of this war will be to kill two thirds of the world’s population. In a short time, perhaps as little as seven months, one out of every three people in the world will die. Much of the world will be left as a nuclear wasteland. The United States will be destroyed in a single hour. We will be so radioactive that the nations of the world will stand off in fear… they will never set foot on American soil.

I believe that Islam will be destroyed in the same war. Mecca will be a nuclear wasteland. Muslims, worldwide, will be begging to join the Pope’s new religion. Most of the world’s population will join them. This will include most of the world’s Christians. Those who hold out will be slaughtered.  Even Obama, should he survive, will join the Pope’s religion. Donald Trump, should he survive, will join in enthusiastically.

It will be about this time that the Alien Disclosure will take place. They will show up to “save us from ourselves.” This will be when the Angel with the key to the bottomless pit arrives and Apollyon and his demons escape. Nimrod, in one way or another, will again rule the world. A treaty will be made with Israel (before or after the war?) The Dome of the Rock will be destroyed and the Temple will be constructed. Three and a half years later, the Man of Sin will sit in that Temple, “as if he were God, proclaiming himself to be God.”

I believe that Obama was sent, like John the Baptist, to make way for Donald Trump. I believe that he may return, on the world stage… not as President but perhaps as Secretary General of the United Nations. Perhaps he has done his job and will disappear into the sunset but I don’t really believe that.

Donald Trump is the Last King of Babylon. Perhaps the Occultic Rabbis are right. It is possible that it will be he who makes the treaty with Israel and makes possible the building of the Temple. If so, you may expect to see him sitting in the Temple, as if he were God, proclaiming himself to be God… At the very least, he will lead the United States into a nuclear finale…

It has been the plan, since before 1776, that the United States would form the basis of the New World Order. It has always been the plan that we would one day burn and that, out of the ashes, like a phoenix, the New World Order would rise. That is Lucifer’s plan. I believe that the Bible tells us that he will succeed. Our demise will come as a result of our sin. God, in judgment, will remove his hand of protection and allow Satan, whose plan includes our demise, to destroy us. Our death, as a nation, will be, at one and the same time, the Judgment of a Holy God against a wicked and unrepentant people, and the fulfillment of a Satanic plan. Both will occur in a single hour.

The order of some of these things is still unclear to me but this is what I would think likely:

  1. Europe and the Orient weaken
  2. The United States becomes more powerful than ever
  3. America becomes “Great Again.”
  4. Trump wins at everything, here and abroad.
  5. The Jews in Israel call him Messiah.
  6. The Dominionists call him Messiah.
  7. Trump makes a treaty with Israel.
  8. War breaks out on a worldwide basis.
  9. “Aliens” (Demons) show up, introduced by Pope Francis, to “save us from ourselves
  10. Islam suffers a great defeat.
  11. Antichrist (Israel’s Messiah a. is assassinated.
  12. Israel’s Messiah b. raises him from the dead. (His body is animated and incarnated by Apollo / Osiris / Nimrod, the son of Satan.)
  13. Construction on the Temple Starts.
  14. The United States (Babylon) is destroyed in a single hour.
  15. Antichrist and False Prophet move to Jerusalem.
  16. Antichrist sits in Temple, as if he were God, proclaiming himself to be God.
  17. The False Prophet demands that the whole world worship the Beast…
  18. The Saints are defeated.
  19. Two Prophets Prophecy.
  20. Jewish Evangelists flood the world.
  21. The Wrath of God is poured out on the whole world.
  22. Jesus comes back.

That list is incomplete and it could be very wrong. Please pray about these things and ask God to open your eyes and give you wisdom…

David…

NEPHILIM, ALIENS, 2012, POPES, ANTICHRISTS, TRIBULATIONS, AND THE END OF THE WORLD; A LIST:

One Hundred Sixty things to study, think and pray about…

1.    I like the “Big Picture.”

  1. Lists of things give me the ability to skim over that which I think I know and that which does not interest me but they spark interest in other areas and prompt me to do my homework and sometimes, serious research. This is such a list. No list can be comprehensive. Feel free to add to this list in the comment section. The purpose of this list is to help you see the Big Picture…

3.   2012

  1. There were some who talked about the world ending in 2012. That was foolishness. Others set dates for the Rapture in that year, something Scripture would strongly advise against. I have come to strongly question the doctrine of the Rapture. I personally believe that God goes through the Great Tribulation with His Saints and that the Day of the Lord and the Rapture are one and the same. I will not argue that here and you are welcome to your personal belief. If there is a Rapture, I am going. The point is that I never believed that the world would end in 2012 nor did I believe the Rapture would occur in that year. Nonetheless, I believed that something would happen that year… something ominous and foreboding. Why did I believe that? Did anything happen in 2012 that changed the world?
  2. Personally, I believe that we crossed the point of no return in 2012. The United States must be viewed as a part of the world and not an island unto itself. It must also be viewed through the lens of Scripture and biblical prophecy. As I examine our current situation and the global situation from that point of view, it seems quite obvious that the end of all things is at hand.
  3. We have a major convergence:
  4. The righteous judgment of an angry God is about to fall on an ungodly and wicked nation.
  5. The New World Order, aka the Kingdom of the Antichrist is rising.
  6. The judgment against the United States will take her out of the picture in world affairs.
  7. The judgment is well deserved and righteous altogether.
  8. The collapse of the United States and Western Civilization is necessary for the rise of the New World Order. There cannot be a One World Government until all the nations of the world, including the United States, become so desperate that they are willing to lower their national flag and raise the flag of the New Order.
  9. That point is approaching rapidly. This is biblical prophecy; God tells us it will happen. These events are absolutely in line with unchangeable signs in the Heavens. It is time. We need to be right with God. The only safe place is where God wants you to be. The only reasonable thing to do is to do exactly what God wants you to do. The Question we must each ask is, “Am I close enough to God to know where He wants me to be and what He wants me to do?”
  10. God works on a different calendar. December 21st 2012 fell on 8 Tevet 5773. The year 5773 started on 1 Tishri or September 17 2012 and ended on 29 Elul or September 4 2013. Let us use that Jewish year for the purposes of our discussion.
  11. The Zohar, written by Jews 700 years ago, claimed that in the Jewish year 5773, God would rain Fire and Hail on Rome and the Antichrist would be revealed.
  12. The Mayan Calendar ended in the Year 5773 with the return of their “Flying Dragon” god, Kulkulkan.
  13. The Aztec Calendar ended in the year 5773 with the return of their “Flying Dragon” god, Quetzalcoatl.
  14. The Cherokee Indian Calendar ended in 5773 with the return of their “Flying Rattlesnake” god.
  15. The Hindu Kali Yuga Calendar ended in 5773 at the end of the age of the “Male Demon”.
  16. Using math and Astronomy far above my head David Flynn, in his scholarly work CYDONIA, claimed that the Platonic year changed on 8 Tevet 5773 and we, measured by astronomy and not astrology, entered the Age of Aquarius on that day.
  17. Jonathan Edwards tied, the arrival of the Antichrist and the Great Tribulation to 2012 (or 5773)
  18. In 1878, Rev. William J. Reid wrote, “…we are prepared to answer the question, When will the Papal system come to an end? …in the year 2012.” (5773) (Lectures on the revelation. Author: Reid, William J. page 306)
  19. The thousand-year-old Prophecy of St. Malachy predicted that Pope Francis would be the “Last Pope” a man who will usher in the Tribulation and whose reign will end with the coming of the “Terrible Judge”.

ANTICHRIST, FALSE PROPHET, AND ISRAEL’S TWO MESSIAHS

In these last days, Israel’s Kabalistic Rabbis are speaking of two Mashiachs, Mashiach Ben Yosef and Mashiach Ben David. Having never been able to reconcile the prophecies of a conquering Messiah with the prophecies of a suffering and dying Messiah, they have declared that there will be two messiahs, Ben David, the conquering Messiah and Ben Yosef, the suffering and dying Messiah. Of course, it would be difficult to reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ if they were to accept that one individual could fulfill both roles.

The prophetic Rabbis believe that both Messiahs are human and that having fulfilled their roles, they will die as all men die. They say that Mashiach Ben Yosef will die in the Battle with Magog but Mashiach Ben David will show up, kill the bad guys and raise Ben Yosef from the dead. Ben David will then go on to purify Jerusalem and Israel, rebuilding the Temple and restoring the sacrifice.

The strange thing is how closely that follows Christian eschatology which speaks of an Antichrist who dies and a False Prophet who raises him from the dead. One of the heads of the “Beast” has a fatal wound” which is healed. When the people see it, they will marvel.

Revelation 13:3 One of his heads appeared to be fatally wounded, but his fatal wound was healed. The whole earth was amazed and followed the beast.

The prophecies which spoke to the first coming of the Messiah were intentionally occluded by God. Even the Disciples who lived and walked with Jesus failed to understand. Even after the resurrection and having seen Jesus walk through walls, they did not understand. It was not until the Holy Spirit fell on them at Pentecost that their eyes were opened and they finally understood. Jesus said that those who are not born of the Spirit cannot even see the Kingdom of God. That holds true today as Jew and Gentile alike fail to understand the first coming of the Messiah.

Those prophecies were purposely made clear enough that, in hindsight, we could clearly see that they pointed to Jesus but not so clear that the powers and principalities could figure it out in advance and defeat God’s plan.

1 Corinthians 2:8 None of the rulers of this age knew this wisdom, for if they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

In a like manner, the prophecies concerning the end times, the tribulation, the Rapture of the Church and the Second coming are occluded or hidden. After the fact, we will look back, with 20/20 hindsight, and say, “Yes, of course, this is clearly what God has prophesied.” Looking into the future, it is not so clear and we argue over what we think that it means and what will happen. This is not to cause confusion in the Church, this is to keep the Devil and his minions from figuring it out and coming up with a battle plan to counter it. One thing we know for certain, times are going to get rough and we need to be right with God now.

Biblical ignorance is at an all-time high. People who think they are Christian, worship a Jesus of their own imagination, and will bust Hell wide open when they die. Their Jesus does not even vaguely resemble the Jesus of the Bible, although the demon they worship is glad to use his Name. Even among the saved, Biblical ignorance leaves most open to deception. The coming deception will be great and many who claim to follow Jesus will be deceived.

If we assume that the two Messiahs Israel is looking for are indeed the biblical Antichrist and False Prophet, we can easily see that the Antichrist will be Jewish, or at least successfully pretend to be Jewish. He will defeat the enemies of Israel in the Gog, Magog war. He will be a hero and all Israel will accept him as their Messiah. He will be a hero to the Dominionist and Seven Mountain Cults. Their Prophets will declare him as Messiah and follow the False Prophet in worshiping him. If you doubt me, remember Trump.

Exactly how or when this is going to happen is not for us to know. What we do know is that those who are deceived and do follow the Antichrist and the false prophet will pay for their mistake in the Lake of Fire, which is the second death.

If you expect the Antichrist to be evil, cool, and calculating, like the one in the movies, you will love the real Antichrist and follow after the False Prophet with all your heart. The Antichrist is going to look just like the Jesus those in the Emergent Church have imagined. The False Prophet is going to look like a Hyper-Grace version of Elijah… even calling down fire from Heaven.

The Antichrist will be a Military Hero. He will defeat Israel’s enemies and build the third Temple on the Temple Mount. He will slaughter Muslims by the millions and leave Mecca a nuclear wasteland. He will level the Dome of the Rock and bulldoze the Al-Aqsa Mosque off the side of the mountain. The Dominionist Cult will just know that they have found their Man! Antichrist will be everything the Hyper-Grace Gurus have always wanted Jesus to be, kind, forgiving and nonjudgmental. The only thing he will require is that you pledge your allegiance to him and take his mark.

Israel’s two Messiahs are at the door. There will be a death, a resurrection, and an incarnation. Fire will fall from Heaven. Miracles will abound…

The closer you are to the real Jesus, the Jesus of the Bible, and the more you know of God’s Word, the less likely you are to be deceived and the more likely you are to make Heaven your eternal home.

If you believed the Dominionist prophecies about Trump, you are really going to be impressed with the prophecies proclaiming Antichrist to be God’s only hope for the world and the False Prophet to be Elijah in the flesh…

Get in the Word and get right with God now. This very well could be your last chance to avoid deception and the Lake of Fire…

David…

WORLD WAR THREE AND THE DEATH OF AMERICA.

“Our destruction is at hand. Everything you know and love is about to disappear. When this conflict is over, if you live, you will find yourself with no electricity or transportation or light. The greatest chance is that your house will be gone, you will be homeless and a wanderer…”

Had the United States elected Hillary Clinton, the United States might simply have rotted away quietly. Having elected Donald Trump, we are closer to World War Three than we have ever been. The world is exploding on every front. Russia and North Korea are ready to nuke us. Trump tried to build up China and encourage them to oppose Kim Jong-un, the Madman of the Korean Peninsula. China accepted the favor received but has done little to discourage the dictator or inhibit his schemes. Damascus, as prophesied, is about to disappear and hundreds of thousands of Syrians are dying in a war between Russia and the United States which is sparing American and Russian soldiers at the expense of Syrian men, women and children, who are routinely forced to die in their stead.

Of course, American politics are nothing more than smoke and mirrors; a puppet show to entertain the masses. We could not have elected Hillary; the election was decided behind closed doors, months, if not years before that day in November. The problem is not that “Christians” helped to elect Trump, they had no say in the matter. The real problem is that they thought that they did and they acted in harmony with the deception the Elite set out to deceive them with. So deep was the deception, that they not only believed every lie aimed at them, but were desperate to convince others to believe them. As those lies are revealed and every promise is broken, some have awakened from their slumber but most cling desperately and will not let go of their dream when the very last promise is broken.

The sins of America have risen to the Heavens and judgment is proclaimed. Our doom fills the pages of Scripture. The prophets described the United States perfectly but called her Babylon. That is enough to encourage Evangelical Ostriches to keep their heads in the sand. Every sin of America is covered and hidden by Christians who believe that evil must be good if America does it.

Biblical prophecy tells us that World War Three will start in the Middle East in a conflict involving Israel and the surrounding nations. If, for reasons of lack of intelligence, you choose not to believe Scripture, this letter written to Mazzini by Albert Pike in 1871 will inform you that this has long been the plan of the Illuminated Luciferians… They have never changed their plan.

“The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the ‘agentur’, of the ‘Illuminati’ between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.”

One of the Last things to happen before the end is the total destruction of Damascus. Have you seen the headlines recently?  Damascus is on its last legs now and the headlines speak to Donald Trump wanting to “destroy Damascus.”

A Generation is 70 years. Jesus indicated that the generation that saw Israel born would not pass away before the end. That would not be significant, were we not on the brink of WW3. This war will claim the lives of one out of every three people living on earth, more than two billion (with a “B” billion) people. This will lead the world to accept the New World Order… Don’t look at one thing or the other; they must be viewed as a whole. Seventy years, Jesus claim, and the News on your TV… It forms one truth, one picture.

To be so desperate to save the United States that one will believe every lie sent in their direction and not only believe the lies, but invent and believe a story that God so loves the United States that He has sent a Pagan Prince to save us, in our sin, apart from repentance, and enable us to continue in our sin, is a tragic comedy. If it were not so sad, it would have me rolling with laughter.

Genesis 11: The Tower of Babylon

At one time the whole earth had the same language and vocabulary. 2 As people migrated from the east, they found a valley in the land of Shinar and settled there. 3 They said to each other, “Come, let us make oven-fired bricks.” They used brick for stone and asphalt for mortar. 4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the sky. Let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise, we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”

5 Then the Lord came down to look over the city and the tower that the men were building. 6 The Lord said, “If they have begun to do this as one people all having the same language, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let Us go down there and confuse their language so that they will not understand one another’s speech.” 8 So from there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 Therefore its name is called Babylon, for there the Lord confused the language of the whole earth, and from there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

Babylon:

  1. Same Language
  2. Same Vocabulary
  3. United
  4. Tower building

God testified of them, ““If they have begun to do this as one people all having the same language, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.”

GOD:

  1. Confused the language
  2. Scattered the people
  3. Divided the nations; Tribes, tongues and nation (ethnos)

Founding Fathers:

  1. Gave us one language
  2. United us with a common culture
  3. Brought together people from many nations, tribes and tongues

The Founding Fathers were Deists, not Christians. Of the seven men commonly agreed on as the leading founders of this nation, only one, John Jay, believed in the divinity of Jesus Christ. They were Masons and members of secret societies. They were captivated by a novel written by Sir Francis Bacon called the New Atlantis… Everything that they did was based on Babylonian religion and magic.

ORDO AB CHAO:

  1. Order out of Chaos
  2. Masonic Motto
  3. The Chaos of which they speak is the Chaos that resulted from the confusion of languages at Babel.

Satan’s goal is to undo Babel and unite the world under a single government with a single religion, language, single currency and a single culture. He is intent on resurrecting Nimrod to run the world for him. This is the New World Order and the Antichrist.

The United States was the Satanic prototype of the New World Order. The New Babylon… the one that will cover the whole earth, cannot rise until the current Babylon collapses and dies. At the same time they are working at Globalism, they are working to splinter and divide groups within the United States.

Our sin has lifted up a stench to Heaven. The blood of more than sixty million babies cries out against us. The souls of the damned from Sodom and Gomorrah cry out against us. The Judgment of God is coming. At one and the same time, Lucifer is against us because we stand in the way of his global agenda. God has now stepped back, the hedge of protection is gone and Satan will soon have his way. The end is not near; the end is here.

GET OUT OF BABYLON:

  1. Rip the flag off of the cross
  2. Do not participate in Babylon
  3. You are a stranger and a pilgrim in a foreign land
  4. Take up your cross and follow Jesus
  5. The only safe place to be is where God wants you
  6. The only safe thing to do is what God tells you to do

Our destruction is at hand. Everything you know and love is about to disappear. When this conflict is over, if you live, you will find yourself with no electricity or transportation or light. The greatest chance is that your house will be gone, you will be homeless and a wanderer, going as far as your feet will take you. There will be no food, everything you touch will be radioactive. People around you will be dying by the thousands, with no one to bury them, their corpses will rot in the sun, everything will be septic and the smell overwhelming…

That, whether you like it or not, is the future of America.

It will be bad for those who are the saved of God, the Elect. How much worse for the one who thought himself a Christian but placed his hope and trust in the United States and a man named Trump?

Get right with God or go to Hell.

David…

 

THE NEW TESTAMENT AND THE LAW

What follows is Scripture. If you are a “Kosher-Kristian”, under the Law of Moses, please do not read these Scriptures. They will ruin your life…

Acts

The law is an unbearable yoke.

Acts 15:10 Now then, why are you testing God by putting a yoke on the disciples’ necks that neither our ancestors nor we have been able to bear? 11 On the contrary, we believe we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus in the same way they are.”

Romans

The law reveals sin but cannot fix it.

Romans 3:20 For no one will be justified in His sight by the works of the law, because the knowledge of sin comes through the law.

If the law worked then faith would be irrelevant.

Romans 4:14 If those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made empty and the promise is canceled.

The purpose of the law was to increase sin.

Romans 5:20 The law came along to multiply the trespass. But where sin multiplied, grace multiplied even more.

Christians are not under the law.

Romans 6:14 For sin will not rule over you, because you are not under law but under grace.

Christians have been delivered from the law.

Romans 7:1 Since I am speaking to those who understand law, brothers, are you unaware that the law has authority over someone as long as he lives? 2 For example, a married woman is legally bound to her husband while he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law regarding the husband. 3 So then, if she gives herself to another man while her husband is living, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law. Then, if she gives herself to another man, she is not an adulteress.

4 Therefore, my brothers, you also were put to death in relation to the law through the crucified body of the Messiah, so that you may belong to another—to Him who was raised from the dead—that we may bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions operated through the law in every part of us and bore fruit for death. 6 But now we have been released from the law, since we have died to what held us, so that we may serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old letter of the law.

The law is good, perfect and holy but cannot help you be good, perfect or holy.

Romans 7: 7 What should we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin if it were not for the law. For example, I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, Do not covet. 8 And sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind. For apart from the law sin is dead. 9 Once I was alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life 10 and I died. The commandment that was meant for life resulted in death for me. 11 For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me. 12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.

The law which promises life only brings death through sin.

Romans 7: 9 Once I was alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life 10 and I died. The commandment that was meant for life resulted in death for me. 11 For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me. 12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.

The law makes you sinful beyond measure.

Romans 7:13 13 Therefore, did what is good cause my death? Absolutely not! On the contrary, sin, in order to be recognized as sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment, sin might become sinful beyond measure.

The law is weak.

Romans 8:1 Therefore, no condemnation now exists for those in Christ Jesus, 2 because the Spirit’s law of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. 3 What the law could not do since it was limited by the flesh, God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending His own Son in flesh like ours under sin’s domain, and as a sin offering, 4 in order that the law’s requirement would be accomplished in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

1 Corinthians

 The strength of sin is the law

1 Corinthians 15:56 Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

2 Corinthians

 The law is a ministry of death.

2 Corinthians 3:7 Now if the ministry of death, chiseled in letters on stones, came with glory, so that the Israelites were not able to look directly at Moses’ face because of the glory from his face–a fading glory—

The law is a ministry of condemnation.

2 Corinthians 3:9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness overflows with even more glory.

The law has no glory at all in comparison with the New Covenant.

2 Corinthians 3:10 In fact, what had been glorious is not glorious now by comparison because of the glory that surpasses it.

The law is fading away.

2 Corinthians 3:11 For if what was fading away was glorious, what endures will be even more glorious.

Anywhere the law is preached it produces a mind-hardening and a heart-hardening veil.

2 Corinthians 3:14 but their minds were closed. For to this day, at the reading of the old covenant, the same veil remains; it is not lifted, because it is set aside only in Christ. 15 Even to this day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their hearts,

Galatians

 The law justifies nobody.

Galatians 2:15 15 We who are Jews by birth and not “Gentile sinners” 16 know that no one is justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ.

Christians are dead to the law.

Galatians 2:19 For through the law I have died to the law, so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ

The law frustrates grace.

Galatians 2:21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.

To go back to the law after embracing faith is “stupid”.

Galatians 3:1 You foolish Galatians! Who has hypnotized you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was vividly portrayed as crucified? 2 I only want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by hearing with faith? 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now going to be made complete by the flesh? 4 Did you suffer so much for nothing—if in fact it was for nothing? 5 So then, does God supply you with the Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law or by hearing with faith?

The law curses all who practice it and fail to do it perfectly.

Galatians 3:10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, because it is written: Everyone who does not continue doing everything written in the book of the law is cursed.

The law has nothing to do with faith.

Galatians 3:11 Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because the righteous will live by faith. 12 But the law is not based on faith; instead, the one who does these things will live by them.

The law was a curse that Christ redeemed us from.

Galatians 3:13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, because it is written: Everyone who is hung on a tree is cursed.

The law functioned in God’s purpose as a temporary covenant from Moses till John the Baptist announced Christ.

Galatians 3: 16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say “and to seeds,” as though referring to many, but referring to one, and to your seed, who is Christ. 17 And I say this: The law, which came 430 years later, does not revoke a covenant that was previously ratified by God and cancel the promise. 18 For if the inheritance is from the law, it is no longer from the promise; but God granted it to Abraham through the promise. 19 Why then was the law given? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise was made would come. The law was put into effect through angels by means of a mediator.

If the law worked God would have used it to save us.

Galatians 3:21 Is the law therefore contrary to God’s promises? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that was able to give life, then righteousness would certainly be by the law.

The law was our prison.

Galatians 3:23 Before this faith came, we were confined under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith was revealed.

The law makes you a slave like Hagar.

Galatians 4:21 Tell me, those of you who want to be under the law, don’t you hear the law? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave and the other by a free woman. 23 But the one by the slave was born according to the impulse of the flesh, while the one by the free woman was born as the result of a promise. 24 These things are illustrations, for the women represent the two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai and bears children into slavery—this is Hagar.

Ephesians

 Christ has abolished the law which was a wall of hostility

Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus, you who were far away have been brought near by the blood of the Messiah. 14 For He is our peace, who made both groups one and tore down the dividing wall of hostility. In His flesh, 15 He made of no effect the law consisting of commands and expressed in regulations, so that He might create in Himself one new man from the two, resulting in peace. 16 He did this so that He might reconcile both to God in one body through the cross and put the hostility to death by it.

Philippians

 Paul considered everything the law gained him as “skybalon” which is Greek for “poop”.

Philippians 3:4 although I once also had confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised the eighth day; of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; regarding the law, a Pharisee; 6 regarding zeal, persecuting the church; regarding the righteousness that is in the law, blameless.

7 But everything that was a gain to me, I have considered to be a loss (skybalon) because of Christ.

1 Timothy

 The law is only good if used in the right context.

1 Timothy 1:8 But we know that the law is good, provided one uses it legitimately. 9 We know that the law is not meant for a righteous person, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and irreverent, for those who kill their fathers and mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral and homosexuals, for kidnappers, liars, perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to the sound teaching…

Hebrews

 The law is weak, useless and makes nothing perfect.

Hebrews 7:18 So the previous command is annulled because it was weak and unprofitable 19 (for the law perfected nothing), but a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

God has found fault with it and created a better covenant, enacted on better promises.

Hebrews 8: 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second one.

It is obsolete, growing old and ready to vanish.

Hebrews 8:13 By saying, a new covenant, He has declared that the first is old. And what is old and aging is about to disappear.

It is only a shadow of good things to come and will never make someone perfect.

Hebrews 10:1 Since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come, and not the actual form of those realities, it can never perfect the worshipers by the same sacrifices they continually offer year after year.

SPEAKING TRUTH IN LOVE

The fact that the truth offends, is no excuse for me to be offensive…

Ephesians 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, let us grow in every way into Him who is the head—Christ.

My wife is the most loving, kind and considerate Christian I know. Jesus loved Cathy enough to save her and He loves you enough to save you. Cathy will love you into the Kingdom. Everybody loves Cathy.

We are opposites. I am mean, ugly, hardheaded and doctrinally correct. I will speak the truth as I find it in Scripture and as the Spirit convicts, but nobody feels the love.

It isn’t that I don’t love people. I love them enough to point out the truth, even when I know that the truth will greatly offend them and that they will reject that truth. I want to just be loving. I want everybody to love me. I want people around me to feel the love of Jesus, like it was just oozing out of my bones. You do not know how desperately I desire that, but these are desperate times and the truth keeps getting in the way.

The truth, however ugly and counter-culture it may be, can be spoken in love. I know that because the Bible tells me to do so. God would not tell me to speak the truth in love, if it were not possible to do so. God just wouldn’t do that.

I need to practice being kind and loving. I can take a hint from Jesus… “Go and sin no more… you brood of vipers!” How do I ever find that balance?

1 Timothy 5:20 Those who continue in sin, rebuke in the presence of all, so that the rest also will be fearful of sinning. (Speaking the truth in love.)

Luke 17:3a Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him… (Speaking the truth in love.)

Titus 1:13 This testimony is true. For this reason, reprove them severely so that they may be sound in the faith… (Speaking the truth in love.)

Titus 2:15 These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you. (Speaking the truth in love.)

2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. (Speaking the truth in love.)

“Speaking the truth in love.” Let us look at that passage in context:

7 Now grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of the Messiah’s gift. 8 For it says:

When He ascended on high,
He took prisoners into captivity;
He gave gifts to people.

9 But what does “He ascended” mean except that He descended to the lower parts of the earth? 10 The One who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill[ all things.11 And He personally gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, 12 for the training of the saints in the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ, 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of God’s Son, growing into a mature man with a stature measured by Christ’s fullness. 14 Then we will no longer be little children, tossed by the waves and blown around by every wind of teaching, by human cunning with cleverness in the techniques of deceit. 15 But speaking the truth in love, let us grow in every way into Him who is the head—Christ. 16 From Him the whole body, fitted and knit together by every supporting ligament, promotes the growth of the body for building up itself in love by the proper working of each individual part.

We are to grow up. This is about growing up and maturing to the point that we are no longer blown about by “every wind of doctrine.” We are to grow into unity but that unity can only be found in Christ and the truth of Scripture. Seeking unity through compromise will never work. Speaking lies, because they are more “loving” than the truth, will never work.

The truth is, that the truth is ugly and offensive to those who reject it. There is a deep and inherent offense in the message of the Cross. Those who have been trained in lies, disguised as truth, revolt at the real truth, rejecting it off hand. I did! When God started showing me how things that I had learned in church, things taught to me as “Gospel Truth,” violated his Word, I rebelled. “Not my Pastor! Not my church! They would never teach me anything wrong!” I cried, I screamed at God, I told people that they were crazy! So why am I surprised that others have the same reaction? Sometimes you just have to get angry and fight through things.

However, the fact that the truth offends, is no excuse for me to be offensive. Error must be confronted but it is easier to accept the truth from those who smile and take your interest and needs to heart. I must learn to take on other people’s burdens. I must seek to understand where they are and where they come from. I must identify with them as brothers and sisters in the Lord. I must meet their needs. Only then, will I have the right to speak truth into their lives.

Please pray for me, that in however it may be possible, I will learn to speak the truth in love. I am not even certain what that means but I am aware that I need to learn.

I AM NOT A JEW

Sorry! My deepest apologies to Judaizers, Legalists and Hebrew Roots Devotees everywhere…

  • I am not a Jew.
  • I am a spiritual child of Abraham.
  • I am not under the Law.
  • I was never under the Law.
  • I do not live as a Jew.
  • I do not worship as a Jew.
  • I do not eat as a Jew.

Paul called down Peter, publicly, for trying to make gentiles live like Jews…

Galatians 2:14 …I told Cephas in front of everyone, “If you, who are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel Gentiles to live like Jews?”

  • I appreciate the Jewish feasts.
  • I learn from the Jewish feasts.
  • There are Christian truths that cannot be understood apart from the Jewish festivals.
  • I appreciate Jews and Judaism.
  • I understand that Jesus was a Jew.
  • I am not a Jew.
  • I am a gentile.

Paul made a distinction between Jewish believers and Gentile believers. Paul, by his own testimony, lived like a Jew, when he was among Jews but as a gentile when he was with gentiles.

1 Corinthians 9: 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win Jews; to those under the law, like one under the law—though I myself am not under the law—to win those under the law. 21 To those who are without that law, like one without the law—not being without God’s law but within Christ’s law—to win those without the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people, so that I may by every possible means save some.

I am not a Catholic. I do not follow Catholic traditions.

  • On the other hand, the church in Acts met on the first day of the week. I follow that tradition.
  • Protestant, Evangelical Churches have celebrated the Birth of Christ on Christmas Day for more than 500 years. I respect that.
  • I understand that Jesus was crucified on Passover.
  • I know why Jesus was crucified at Passover. I respect that.
  • My church has celebrated the Resurrection on Easter Sunday from the beginning. I respect that.

I know all about Ishtar and rabbits that lay eggs. I will not worship Ishtar on Easter Sunday. I will worship Jesus Christ and remember his death, burial and resurrection.

Ishtar be damned… Who stole that day and gave it to her anyway?

  • You may dedicate Easter Sunday to Ishtar if you like. That is your choice.
  • You may spend the day hiding under the couch, trembling in fear of a rabbit that lays eggs. That is your choice.
  • By refusing to worship Christ on Easter, Christians cede the day to Ishtar, confessing that she alone has a right to that day.
  • As for me and my house, we will spend the day worshiping Jesus Christ and remembering how he died to set us free from Ishtarian Demons… That is my choice.

Romans 14: 4 Who are you to criticize another’s household slave? Before his own Lord he stands or falls. And he will stand. For the Lord is able to make him stand.

  • I am not a Jew.
  • I am not a Catholic.
  • I am a gentile.
  • I am a slave of Jesus Christ.
