THE TERRIBLE POWER OF DOCTRINE

There is an awful power in the doctrine you are taught…

There is an awful power in the doctrine you are taught…

A Mormon preacher can allow his people to read the Bible without fear… He knows that whatever they read, they will interpret it in such a way as to make it agree with Mormon doctrine…

If you ask students from
Baptist backgrounds,
Methodist backgrounds,
and Assemblies of God backgrounds,
to write a term paper telling you what a particular Bible passage means…
you will look at those papers
and truly believe
that they were all reading totally different stories,
from very different books…

I have done so… It is amazing!

Invariably, they will twist the Scripture and interpret it in a manner consistent with the doctrine they have been taught for so many years…

One of the most difficult things a Bible teacher has to do is to convince students to tell them what a verse or a passage actually says and not what their preacher told them that it said…

If you will ask God for help and determine in your heart to read the Bible and understand what it actually says… You will be in shock and awe for weeks or months… It is absolutely amazing to find out that the Bible does not agree with the assumptions and presuppositions of that most holy doctrine once laid on you…

I promise you… You will be surprised and amazed by what the Bible actually says…

TWO ROADS…

Jesus speaks of a cross, of self-denial, suffering and death…

Trump speaks of Saving America, Peace, Security, and preserving your cushy, comfortable, and easy way of life…

Jesus speaks of a cross, of self-denial, suffering and death…

Trump speaks of Saving America, Peace, Security, and preserving your cushy, comfortable, and easy way of life…

Robert Frost wrote…
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth…

There are two distinctly different paths… Will you deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Jesus, or will you follow Trump and make peace, security, and the salvation of your comfortable lifestyle your passion and your goal?

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.

The truth spoken of here in 2 Thessalonians, is the truth in the Scripture concerning the end times and the great deception…

They reject the words of Jesus and believe Donald Trump…

They remain willfully ignorant of the biblical descriptions of the Man of Sin and the Beast, preferring to believe the Hollywood version…

They prefer Left Behind to Revelation…

They have never accepted Scripture as absolute truth…

When Donald Trump fulfills every single biblical description of the Man of Sin, speaks flatteries and blasphemies, and repeats the same lies over and over, they prefer his message to the Scripture because he is skilled in telling them what they desperately want to hear…

Heaven, to them, is a vague reality spoken of at funerals, but saving America and their cushy lifestyle is their overwhelming passion…

The whole idea of taking up their cross and dying to themselves is unacceptable and the idea that they might be called on to suffer or die for Christ is repulsive…

They always prefer the happy lie over the difficult and uncomfortable truth of Scripture…

Jesus is great for Sunday but Trump will save America and preserve their life of ease…

So, which path will you follow?

One leads to deception, great disappointment and an eternal Hell…
The other to a cross, suffering, death, and eternal life with the One who died on a cross to save your soul…

This is NOT the “Happy Gospel” of “Five Power Verses, Huge Offerings, and Material Wealth…”

This is the Gospel that cost ten Disciples, Paul the Apostle, and seventy million martyrs since their lives, while millions more were beaten, tortured and imprisoned…

This is the Gospel I preach….

THE FIRE THAT BURNS AND THE WIND THAT SCATTERS IS UPON US!

This post discusses themes of purification and reduction through biblical references, emphasizing Jesus’ message about the refining nature of fire and the winnowing of wheat. It highlights Isaiah’s call to preach, suggesting that truthful preaching can be painful but ultimately leads to a holy remnant, symbolized by the stump.

Jesus spoke of the refiner’s fire…
FIRE HURTS
FIRE REDUCES

Jesus spoke of winnowing wheat…
WINNOWING WASTES
WINNOWING REDUCES

In Isaiah chapter six, God calls Isaiah, Isaiah accepts the call and then…

God tells him to preach until everything burns up…
START PREACHING TO A GREEN TREE
PREACH UNTIL NOTHING BUT A STUMP REMAINS
PREACHING TRUTH HURTS
PREACHING TRUTH REDUCES

THE HOLY SEED IS A STUMP…

Isaiah 6:
13 And though a tenth remain in it,
it will be burned again,
like a terebinth or an oak,
whose stump remains
when it is felled.”
The holy seed is its stump.

The Lord Has Destroyed Without Pity…

Lamentations 2:
14 Your prophets have seen for you
false and deceptive visions;
they have not exposed your iniquity
to restore your fortunes,
but have seen for you oracles
that are false and misleading.

HOLD ON, THE FIRE THAT BURNS AND THE WIND THAT SCATTERS IS UPON US!

The day Jesus returns will find the church reduced to a stump…
BE OF GOOD CHEER…
THAT STUMP IS THE HOLY SEED!

ON THE PRETRIB RAPTURE

This post discusses the belief in resurrection and the return of Christ, contrasting scriptural references from Paul, Jesus, and John about the order of resurrection and rapture. It challenges the PreTribulation position, arguing that this belief lacks direct scriptural support and emphasizes relying on contextual interpretation rather than selective readings.

  1. Paul wrote that we who remain alive shall not precede those who have died in Christ.
  2. Jesus said that the dead will be raised “after the tribulation.”
  3. John, in the book of revelation places “the first resurrection” after the tribulation.

1 Thessalonians 4:

The Coming of the Lord

13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord,[d] 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. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

Matthew 24:

The Coming of the Son of Man

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 20:

4 (…) 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. 

So, the PreTrib believer denies that saying that yes, that is true, but we know there is a secret resurrection and the rapture before the first resurrection and before the tribulation…

Pushed for Scriptural proof, they provide selected verses (and pieces of verses) from the above quoted passages and add a bunch of verses that say God is good… When someone points out that none of the verses they have trimmed, reinterpreted and quoted without context actually say that there will be a PreTrib rapture, they tell us that we must read between the lines and understand that while God never said so, He certainly implied that the rapture would happen before the tribulation…

And then, they question our Christianity, our faith, and our sanity because we lack the gnosis needed in order to believe in a PreTrib Rapture…

Why the Pretrib Rapture Fairytale?

Western Christians fear the Tribulation in ways that would baffle a Christian suffering persecution in the real world…

WHY AND HOW?

For many years, a very real website offered $5,000 US to anyone in the world who could produce a Scripture that spoke of a Pretrib Rapture. After more than a decade, they shut down the page with their money still in their pockets.

For almost as many years, I have asked for the same Scripture. I have received many Scriptures from people who told me that they were the answer to my request. Most of the Scriptures spoke to the goodness of God and a couple, at least on the surface, out of context and cleverly misinterpreted, almost seemed to support the idea…

Of course, when you read the paragraph before that verse and the paragraph after that verse, it becomes quite obvious that it says no such thing…

I cannot count the number of people who have told me that if I understood that God is good, the Tribulation is bad, and that we will follow the dead and ascend to meet Christ at his return… even though God never really spoke of a PreTrib Rapture, I would understand that He really meant to but that it somehow escaped his attention…

How did Satan sell this childish and silly doctrine? He gave the idea to a Jesuit Priest, who, writing under a pen name and pretending to be a converted Jew, put it in a book, written in Latin.

He then got a copy of the book into the hands of the very first Pentecostal preacher in England, who translated it into English and fell in love with the idea.

He then sent two Americans to England, C. I. Scofield, a would be Bible scholar, and D. L. Moody, an uneducated shoe salesman turned Evangelist.

Scofield twisted the Scripture and put the idea of a pretrib rapture in his Study Bible as if it were Bible truth.

D. L. Moody put it into his sermons, and terrified sinners flooded the altars… Suddenly, he was the most famous Evangelist in America. When pastors and other evangelists saw the numbers, they bought the doctrine… Biblical or not, it filled the pews and the offering plates…

More than that, sinners, terrified that they might be caught sinning at Christ’s sudden return and face the Tribulation, caught the dream…

Fear and wishful thinking are powerful motivational tools… Ask any evangelist…

It also helped that Christians in America had faced no (zero) persecution in several centuries… You fear what you do not know… You fear the Tribulation in ways that would baffle a Christian suffering persecution in the real world…

But that begs the question, why?

Very, very simple… If you can sell the church on the idea that they will escape the Tribulation, they will stumble into the Tribulation, frightened and unprepared… The chances that they will accept and worship the Antichrist and take his mark are increased ten thousand fold… You can rob God Almighty of the souls of the people He died to save…

When Americans tell me about the rapture, they tell me how bad the Tribulation will be. They might even suffer and be forced to die for Jesus!!!!! A loving God would never allow an American Christian to suffer like that! Yes, Paul and so many more suffered and died for Jesus… BUT THEY WEREN’T AMERICANS!!!!!

JESUS IS NOT RETURNING FOR A SINFUL, NASTY, UGLY, MESSED UP BRIDE, A BRIDE CONVINCED THAT HE DIED TO MAKE THEM RICH, HEALTHY AND COMFY IN BABYLON!!!!

BRIDE, MEET THE REFINERS FIRE!

DO NOT BE FOOLED…

THE HEGELIAN LEFT

The post suggests that the Left’s purpose is to create fear, pushing people towards Trump and a New World Order. It connects historical figures to a prophetic vision of the United States’ future.

Do you understand that the Left was never meant to win… They were designed so as to appear so frightening and so scary as to absolutely guarantee that you would run into Trump’s arms and joyfully accept the real New World Order; the NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM…

Want a clue? George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Ben Franklin all knew about today, planned for today, hoped for today, and dreamed about today… Plato described it, Sir Francis Bacon wrote books about it before there was a United States of America…

The United States was created as a phoenix… It, like the bird of mythology, would live between two and three hundred years… It would crash and burn, but out of the ashes would rise a new, greater, larger phoenix… a United States of the World!!!!!!

“He goes forth conquering and to conquer…”

“Who is like the Beast and who can make war against him?”

“When they cry ‘Peace and Security’, sudden destruction…”

You didn’t know that? Where have you been hiding?

DEAD

The number of people killed will be more than 12 times the current population of the United States…

When we speak of depopulation, we are speaking of a point agreed upon by the globalists and the Scripture…

As of January 8, 2025, the current world population is 8,231,613,070.

One fourth would be 2,057,903,267 dead.

This leaves 6,173,709,803 living.

One Third of that would be 2,057,903,267

which would leave 4,115,806,563 still alive with a total mortality count of 4,115,806,534 dead

That is one half of those living at the beginning…

The current US Population is 342,597,468…

So the number of people killed will be more than 12 times the current population of the United States…

Imagine trying to bury one half of the people in your city, state or nation!

Lucifer’s Light: The Reality Behind Trump’s Rule

There is a dichotomy regarding Trump, he is either a savior or a deceptive figure representing Lucifer. You must not view him as a typical president, as doing so perpetuates a dangerous delusion. You are encouraged to maintain faith amid this spiritual challenge.

Trump is either God or the Antichrist…

You must decide what you will believe, but you cannot allow yourself to see him as simply another President, that is not an option.

This is supernatural…

This is the oldest game in the world… From Dark to Light… The Shining.

I will tell you that this is a devilish con job… You can ignore me, or argue with me, or shout from the housetops, telling the world that I am an evil liar…

None of that will change the facts… Trump is a Messiah, a Savior… He comes in splendor and light. He comes to save us!

But this is not the light of the God of Heaven… This is Lucifer posing as an Angel of Light… This is moving from the black night of Satan to the bright morning of Lucifer… This is a game, and if you believe it, you are damned…

But you have free will… You may choose to believe that God Almighty has sent a hard-faced, blasphemous, liar to save America in her sin, without repentance, and empower her to continue in her sin, raising her up so that she can rule the world… Feel free… I will not stop you.

This is the delusion, sent from God, to cause those who love pleasure more than they love righteousness to believe the lie.

This is the deception that threatens even the Elect of God…

I have always known that the remnant would be small. The remnant is tiny beyond belief… If you understand my words, congratulations, you are part of that tiny group of Christians who love Jesus more than they love life itself…

Sleep well tonight, get up in the morning, pick up that ugly, splintered, wooden cross and keep dragging it up that hill… There is Glory on the other side of Calvary…

For the rest of you, please enjoy your moment… bask in the glorious light of Lucifer… Applaud and uphold his Messiah… This is your time to shine!

GREENLAND: The Island, The Movie, Apophis, Ronald Reagan, and Trump’s Proposal..

Put it all together… The movie as predictive programming, and Trump’s insistence that we must purchase the island, The Scripture, and the instance of scientists and Astrophysicists like Neil DeGrasse Tyson, insisting that despite NASA’s revised figures, Apophis will come close enough to earth to do major damage…

GREENLAND: The Island, The Movie, Apophis, Ronald Reagan, and Trump’s Proposal…

“The United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.”
(Donald J. Trump)

Since 1867, the United States has considered, and made, several attempts to purchase the island of Greenland from Denmark, as it did with the Danish West Indies in 1917. While Greenland remains an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, a 1951 treaty gives the United States much control over its “defense”.

Last week, Donald Trump appointed his new ambassador to Denmark: Ken Howery, a co-founder of PayPal and the ambassador to Sweden during Trump’s first administration. Making the announcement on Truth Social, Trump’s social-media platform, the US president-elect declared that ‘for purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity’

The movie “Greenland” follows the story of John Garrity (played by Gerard Butler), his estranged wife Allison (Morena Baccarin), and their young son Nathan. As a planet-killing comet hurtles toward Earth, the Garrity family embarks on a perilous journey to find sanctuary. John receives a text from Homeland Security, indicating that he and his family are among the few selected to be escorted to a top-secret base in Greenland. They must navigate through chaos and lawlessness as panic sets in among the populace, and they face numerous obstacles and close-quarters fight scenes. The family is eventually reunited and makes a desperate and last-minute flight to a possible safe haven, racing against time to survive the global apocalypse.

We now know that Apophis will, quite likely, take out 1/3 of the earth on Friday, March 13, 2029. Here science and Scripture agree…

Revelation 8:8 The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood.

Put it all together… The movie as predictive programming, and Trump’s insistence that we must purchase the island, The Scripture, and the instance of scientists and Astrophysicists like Neil DeGrasse Tyson, insisting that despite NASA’s revised figures, Apophis will come close enough to earth to do major damage…

Add Ronald Reagan once telling the United Nations that a common threat from outer-space would unite the whole world…

AND, should it miss in 2029, the projected course still calls for a direct hit in 2036…
