A
wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
Ecc. 10:2
One
must have a working knowledge of the overall Plan of God beginning with
what happened (Rev. 12:4) in the "world that then was" (2 Pet. 3:6) that
caused our Father to completely destroy that first earth age whereby it
became "void and without form (tohu va bohu)" (Gen. 1:2), and why
He subsequently created flesh man and "made them male and female". It was
so that each child (son of God) could come down from above to be born
innocent, meaning without any prior knowledge of the first earth age,
and dwell in a flesh tabernacle whereby he or she could choose to love
God or worship Satan. Then upon the death of the flesh, that child
(son) would return home to the Father who sent him here in the first place.
We who have the gospels of the New Testament are well blessed in that John
in chapter three of his book explains this process in detail, i.e. being
born again which is to be born from above (anothen in Greek) into
the sac of water and then return to heaven in their spiritual body. John
writes in 3:13 that even the Son of man, Jesus Christ, was willing to come
down from above and be born of woman, showing us that God didn't ask
His children to do something He wasn't willing to do Himself.
Before
I formed thee in the womb, I knew thee; .. Jeremiah 1:5. Yes,
God knew us all in the first earth age while we were still spirit beings,
in our "first estate;" Prior to our being born in the flesh during this
earth age. Click unto pamphlet #1003
Jesus said, Christians,
"Ye
are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth
good for nothing,
but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men." Matthew 5:13
Salt which has been left to the "elements" and has become
bland and tasteless, i.e. has lost its saltiness, is good for nothing except
to be walked all over like so many sugar-sweet Christians are today! So
the question is: "Of what value is a people-pleasing Christian who will
not teach God's Word boldly as it is written?" Do not sugarcoat God's Word
as do the workers of iniquity! Sprinkle the salt my friend and preserve
the spiritual "meat" of His Word.
I
believe God created us as spiritual beings long before he created these
flesh bodies we now live in... John Rhine
Do you have faith
to know that when you "sprinkle that blood of the Lamb" on the doors posts
of your mind, the death angel (Satan) must pass over you and cannot harm
you?
"When
mass murders start to occur more frequently at National Rifle Association
meetings then at Schools and other 'Gun Free Locations' we ought to begin
a debate about additional 'Gun Control Laws' " ...John Rhine -
Until then, where is the logic?
Only
a few years ago reading the Minor Prophets in the Old Testament was like
reading tomorrow's newspaper. That still remains true to this day!
However,
as the Baby Boomer generation of the fig tree has "ripened with aged",
some sections of those Minor Prophets now contain current events, TODAY'S
NEWS, and some sections even contain history, i.e. prophecies fulfilled!
"The
Israelites are not God's chosen people because they are Israelites; rather,
God's chosen people are Israelites because God chose each of them from
the first earth age to be born in this earth age to daughters of Jacob/Israel."
...John Rhine (please note, I did not
say Israelis as per citizens of the small country in the middle east called
Israel, although some Israelis are Israelites as in descendants of Jacob).
"Once
you realize that you were created a spiritual being long before you were
conceived in the flesh and born of water you will find the Bible much less
mysterious and easier to understand." ...John Rhine
"Regardless
of what many people think, we are not human beings, born in
the flesh, sent here to have a spiritual experience. We are spiritual
beings having been sent here to have a human experience; therefore,
a better appreciation of life and death; thereby, acting accordingly to
ensure a victorious spiritual future for ourselves." ...John Rhine
Rev.
20:12 And I saw the dead,
small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and
another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead
were judged out of those things which were written in the books,
according
to their works. This verse is referring
to those of us who will go through the Millennium spiritually
dead and will be judged by our works
at the end of the Millennium, as opposed
to those of us who remained faithful to Christ until the end (the day of
His return, i.e. the start of the His Millennial reign) who will be granted
eternal life at His return, i.e. the "First Resurrection". That's
right! Your works are written in your detailed
biography which your Father keeps, for as it is written, He
knows both you and your works very well. After
all, you are His child!
He knew whether you were loyal to Him or to Lucifer during the first earth
age and He visits you during the night, even now, testing your heart. See
Psalms 17:3 Yes, God knows
your heart. When you awake from a dream do
you remember your dream and how you handled various morality tests, i.e.
responded to the many different situations you found yourself reacting
to in your dream. Do you wake up feeling good about yourself, or have you
need to get down on your knees and beg His forgiveness; asking Him to change
your heart. So is there anything that can
be hid from God? No, but thank God for Jesus
Christ who became our Passover and shed His blood for us, so that upon
repentance God will forgive us our transgressions and remember them no
more.
Notice
in Rev 2:17 that there is "hidden" manna, i.e. hidden truth. Some
will ask, "Why is it that truth
is hidden in the Bible?" The answer is,
"So
that when you go looking for it, you can find it!"
Actually, all you need are "eyes to see" and "ears to hear" and it becomes
revealed, uncovered. But, you must be hungry
and want to look for it!
Why
we Christians need to study the Old Testament!
The
four Gospels contain 3920 verses. 1865 of them, that's 48%, are quotations
from Jesus. Of His quoted conversation, 179 verses are literal Old Testament
words. That's almost 10% of everything He said.
Some
people say, "You only believe the parts of the Bible that you do." , but
I say, "If you don't believe all
the Bible, you don't believe the Bible at all."
...John Rhine
If
you want to unlock scriptures you can't just stick the key in and open
up the door and stand there and peek in. You have to go in and look around.
If you are not familiar with the original languages then at least check
out other translations from credible scholars.
1
Cor. 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples:
and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world
are come. If you understand this one simple principle it will help
you to understand the entire Bible, including prophecy, much more clearly.
For example: The seduction by the fallen angels that took place before
flood of Noah, and the devastating flood of Noah itself, helps us visualize
the spiritual seduction of God's people and the spiritually devastating
flood of lies soon to drown the whole world in deception. That is why Christ
said Luke 17:26-27 "And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also
in the days of the Son of man. [27] They did eat, they drank, they married
wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into
the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all."
"Sprinkle
the blood of Jesus Christ over the door post of your heart" ...John Rhine
WARNING:Rightly
Dividing the Word of God can be hazardous to your traditional beliefs.
Jeremiah
10:6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great,
and thy name is great in might. The problem is that there
is another who thinks he IS "like the most high" (Isa. 14:14)! His name
is Satan and you know what? He does not appear anywhere in a red suit with
little horns and a pitchfork.
Those
are but character descriptions of the dirty rotten snake, if you know what
I mean. No, Satan always appears as an "angel of light"
to enlighten the minds of men and women. And it is written that he shall
soon be cast out of heaven with his angelic entourage (Rev. 12:7-9) and
he will come to this earth as Jesus Christ though he will be the Anti-Christ,
which means "Instead of Jesus", as in an imposter. The apostle Paul made
it
perfectly
clear in 2 Thes. 2 that Satan will come showing great signs and wonders
and sit in the temple of God claiming that he is God.
2 Thes. 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not
come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed,
the son of perdition;
This
battle over the placement of the "Ten Commandments" in public places is
not about separating "Church and State"; It is about the atheists trying
to separate "God and State". Church is not God!
The "Ten Commandments" are God's Commandments, not the church's commandments.
...John Rhine
Jeremiah
5:29 Should I sit back act as though nothing is going on? the Lord God
asks. Shouldn't I punish a nation such as this? 5:30 A horrible
thing has happened in this land: 5:31 The priests are ruled
by false prophets, and my people like it so! But your
doom is certain.
The Living Bible
Hosea
14:4 I will heal their backsliding, I will
love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him. Israel's
i.e.The Christian Nation's "backsliding" does not refer to their flesh
sins (i.e. adultery) but rather to their "apostasy" which is "idolatry"!
You see, a person can have good morals and not be an adulterer while at
the same time being a "spiritual whore"! Therefore, always remember
what Israel's great sin is from Hosea 10:8! It is their Beth-avens, their
high places of worship, i.e. their churches which should be Beth-els (houses
of God) instead of Beth-avens (houses of emptiness, i.e. void of His Word)!
It is precisely because of the lack of the knowledge and understanding
of His Word that the majority of Christians will fall into the great apostasy
of the end time and worship antichrist as if he were God. 2 Thes. 2:3 "Let
no man deceive you by any means (Take His Words instead): for that day
(the return of Christ) shall not come, except (until) there come a falling
away (apostasy) first, and that man of sin (Satan, antichrist) be revealed,
the son of perdition;"
backsliding = meshuwbah,
mesh-oo-baw', Hebrew 4878; or meshubah, mesh-oo-baw'; from Hebrew 7725
(shuwb);
apostasy :- backsliding, turning away. Fortunately
that beautiful day of redemption is coming soon and His doctrine, not men's
stupid traditions, will rain down forever and His blessings will flow freely,
which means abundantly.
Many
preachers in our land not only consume the "sin offering" of people for
their own gain, they "cover up" the sins of the people while they "sheer
the sheep". Did you know that preachers are taught in seminaries not to
teach those things which are controversial, lest they offend members of
their congregations. The fact is, if one teaches the Word of God chapter
by chapter and line by line it WILL offend some for it contains reproof
and correction and instruction in righteous, which means if you are convicted
you will have to make some changes in your life! 2 Tim. 3:16 "All scripture
is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness:".
When
we study Habakukk one of the really important things we "see" in
Habakkuk's approach is that he did NOT rely upon his own reasoning
nor derive his own conclusions, nor listen to the words of men.
He knew Prov. 14:12 & 16:25 and he sought wisdom and knowledge directly
from God, His Word! So he did what was pleasing to His Father (2 Tim. 2:15)
and he "set himself upon the watchtower", i.e. "stood upon his watch" by
continuing to do the work of the watchman and he trusted and waited
patiently upon the Lord for HIS ANSWER! Is that how you seek wisdom
and knowledge and answers to your questions? If not, begin today to seek
knowledge and wisdom and understanding from Jesus Christ, the Word of God,
and not from the words of men! That does not mean you cannot listen to
men or study with a good teacher, just make sure you check out what they
say with Jesus Christ, i.e. IN THE WORD OF GOD! Col. 2:8 "Beware
lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition
of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ [i.e. not
after the Word of God]."
Have
you ever noticed that precious metals such as gold and silver and precious
gems like diamonds and rubies do not lie in abundance out in the open fields
for passersby to just reach down and pick up?No, those "riches" are hidden
deep in the heart of the earth and IF you desire to have them you must
labor and search for them and dig them out! And so it is with the precious
riches found in the Word of God that lie at a deeper level beneath the
surface. Those riches are reserved for the workman who studies and shows
himself approved and who rightly divides the Word of God (2 Tim. 2:15).
Would
you like to know a MYSTERY, something which is unknown to most people because
they have never read the scriptures with understanding or without the preconceived
traditions of men distorting their comprehension? That man of sin, that
son of perdition Paul said will be revealed, will be REVEALED to
the world AS JESUS CHRIST, not some bad dude who goes around killing people!
Therefore, the mystery is that the FIRST Jesus who appears will actually
be Satan, the anti-christos (antichrist), the imposter, the false messiah,
BUT the whole world with the exception of those who have the seal of God
[His Word] in their foreheads (Rev. 9:4) will believe that he is the real
Jesus Christ and will worship him as God! THAT IS the GREAT APOSTASY!
You
know, when you think about it, just as the state governments have developed
a welfare program where even people who can work, but are unwilling to,
show up once a week for a pittance of a paycheck, the churches have developed
a spiritual welfare program where people show up once a week for a pittance
of crumbs from the Word of God, and they are lucky if they even get that.
It is known as the "famine" of the end times (Amos 8:11). The churches
themselves should be ashamed! You see, all one needs to do is open the
Word of God and come the 'table of the Lord' and they can feast to their
full on the delicious meat of His Word and taste the delicacies of the
rich "hidden manna". Of course it does require some work and effort and
study on one's behalf! But then you will never have to be ashamed because
you are a workman and you do show yourself approved unto God. 2 Tim. 2:15
"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to
be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." What was that again Paul
said about those who would not work?
The
great scholar E.W. Bullinger wrote in his Introductory to "How to Enjoy
the Bible", Kregel Publications, pg. 6. "When we come to ask ourselves,
and say, 'Where did I learn this?' 'How did I get this?' 'Who taught this
to me?' it is astonishing to find out how much we have imbibed from man,
and from tradition; and not directly and for ourselves, from the
Word of God.
"All
that we have learned from our youth up must be tested and proved by the
Word of God. Where we find it is true we must learn it over again,
from God. And where it will not stand the test of His Word we must
be not only content, but thankful to give it up; and receive Divine
revelation in the place of man's imagination."
Hosea
6:1 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will
heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. [2] After two
days will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we
shall live in His sight.
Two
days (2000 years) after the crucifixion when Jesus Christ returnes to His
place,is the third day, which is the Day of the Lord, the Millennium (1000
years), the day when "we shall live in His sight"
.Note:
Do
the math; Christ was crucified in the year AD30. Adding 2000 years takes
you to the year AD2030. 2030 will soon be here! Is the
end of this earth age getting that close? The latter day rain is now falling.
Now
learn the "Parable of the Fig Tree" like Jesus said you should. And understand
the "Parable of the Tares", but you will first need to learn the "Parable
of the Sower". Why, because Jesus said so!!!! You will find those
pamphlets under Special Studies for all Christains in the Table of Contents
to the very left on this screen.
Satan
will sit in the temple of God claiming to be the Messiah and all those
Christians who didn't have enough oil in their lamps, i.e. were Biblically
illiterate and were not sealed with the knowledge of His Word, are bowing
to the dragon, worshipping Satan, believing he is Jesus! Read 2
Thes. 2:3-4 & Rev. 13:8-9
Isaiah
33:22 For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver,
the LORD is our king; He will save us. Imagine that! One
Nation Under God, a nation who acknowledges the supreme authority of the
Creator in all her affairs! Can you see that these are actually the three
branches of our American constitutional form of government... the Judicial,
the Legislative, and the Executive? We are supposed to have a system of
checks and balances but the real check is whether or not a branch acknowledges
the sovereignty of Almighty God. We as a people should NEVER allow
the spoiler and oppressor to remove the glory of God from our midst. A
word to the wise is always sufficient. In other words, it is high time
for Christians to stand up and trust and rely on the Rock of His salvation
who gives us His power and strength to make our oppressors as shipwrecks
adrift in the sea, helpless and without the strength to prevent even the
lame from overtaking them. The next verse describes the enemy's impotent
state.[23] Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their
mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil
divided; the lame take the prey.Yes, the enemy shall be made helpless and
defenseless and our people and our land shall begin to heal! Do you want
to be a part of the Christian army that God uses to bring this to pass
in these last days? Then do as Paul instructs in Ephesians chapter 6 and
put on the whole armor of God and get ready to take a stand against the
fiery darts of the Wicked one.[24] And the inhabitant shall not say,
I
am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.The
birth of a new age is closer than many might think! What a wonderful time
of healing and forgiveness it will be during the Millennium when "God is
with us!" (Of course He can be with you now... if you so choose to dwell
with Him.)
If
you "love truth" you will study the truth, which is His Word. Look out
across the land. How many folks do you know that truly study His Word?
You can tell by just listening to people that they have not received the
"love of the truth", even though they may attend a church! 2 Thes.
2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that
they should believe a lie:
Rev.
10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin
to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to
his servants the prophets. Remember, God has foretold us all things pertaining
to the events that will happen to this generation. He declared it all to
His prophets, whose names are Moses, Isaiah, David, Daniel, Ezekiel, Deuteronomy,
Jeremiah, Joel, Amos, etc., etc. But people often ask, "Are there any prophets
of God alive today?" The answer is "Yep, they're all alive. They are all
with Him, the Living Word, and their voices can still be heard this very
day in the Written Word, just as His is". [8] And the voice which
I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little
book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea
and upon the earth. Again, the little book is open, but the angel isn't
about to just hand it over to John. He says "Come and get it". If you want
the Word of God then you must go take it. Our Father doesn't force His
Word down our throats. Want to be sealed of God? Then go get the unsealed
scroll and here is what you do with it! [9] And I went unto the angel,
and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it,
and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy
mouth sweet as honey. The Word of God is spiritual food and must be eaten
daily. Yes, our daily bread, the bread of life, is the Word of God. Jeremiah
ate His words.Jeremiah 15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them;
and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am
called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts. Ezekiel ate them. Ezekiel 2:9
And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of
a book was therein; Ezekiel 3:3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause
thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee.
Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness. John
ate them. Rev 10:10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand,
and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I
had eaten it, my belly was bitter. What kind of a diet do you have? Learning
and knowing the truth of God's Word is exciting and beautiful and the taste
of truth is as sweet as honey! But when you have digested that knowledge
and meditated upon it, and can see the stark reality of what is happening
in this world and why, it can be pretty "gut wrenching", and thus is one
form of bitterness.
Though
they profess Christ, too often well meaning Christians turn their will
and their lives over to the care of their "church", and their church actually
becomes their "means to salvation". This is especially true when their
church thinks that only they are God's "elect", a term they interpret wrongly
to mean "elite". Then just "belonging" to this church gets them into the
kingdom.
Matthew
7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied
in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done
many wonderful works? [23] And then will I profess unto them, I never
knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Christ
never knew them because they never knew Him. If one doesn't know the
Written Word of God then one doesn't know the Living Word of God, for they
are one.
Have
you ever noticed that precious metals such as gold and silver and precious
gems like diamonds and rubies do not lie in abundance out in the open fields
for passersby to just reach down and pick up? No, those "riches" are hidden
deep in the heart of the earth and IF you desire to have them you must
labor and search for them and dig them out! And so it is with the precious
riches found in the Word of God that lie at a deeper level beneath the
surface. Those riches are reserved for the workman who studies and shows
himself approved and who rightly divides the Word of God (2 Tim. 2:15).
The
first
39 chapters of EZEK-I-EL gave us in graphic details through the use
of historical events (e.g. the captivity of Judah), model making (e.g.
Ezekiel's ground display of the siege of Jerusalem), play acting (e.g.
lying on his side 390 days), demonstrations (e.g. making dung cakes), and
simple analogies (e.g. whores and harlots), the events of this final generation,
the generation that would understand the first vision in chapter one, that
highly polished spectrum bronze-colored circular flying vehicle. It is
the same final generation that Christ spoke of in Matthew 24 and Mark 13,
the final generation of the fig tree which began on May 15, 1948. Yes,
there will be Baby Boomers who will see the return of Jesus Christ.
Just
as the Book of Ezekiel begins with visions, it also ends with visions,
all of which are visions that the sons and daughters of God's servants
in the last days would come to understand (Acts 2:17). In chapters 40
through 48 we see Ezekiel carried "in vision" to the land of Israel
and shown that glorious sanctuary of
the Millennium. To study
Ezekiel Clink Ezekiel in the Table of Contents in the column on your left.
It
is worth remembering that eventually, in the 3rd Earth Age, i.e. throughout
eternity, there will be no temple, for the Lord GOD Almighty and the Lamb
ARE the temple, even as Christ is that temple now if you have understanding.
God
hates idolatry, spiritual whoredom. And His children are too Biblically
ignorant to know to whom they are married! Yes they are! They
will jump in bed with the first Bridegroom that appears on earth claiming
to be Jesus and they will be seduced! They are the first women (no
gender intended) taken in the field in Mat. 24:40, just as it was in the
days of Noah. Is all this graphic enough? It is very serious.
In this final generation you must have the seal of God (His Word) in your
forehead (mind) in order to escape the vials from being poured out on you.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast
rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee,...
Do
you have absolutely, positively, no doubts whatsoever, who is who?
Do you know the difference between light and darkness, between the children
of the day and the children of the night, between the truth of Father's
Word and the lies of their father's traditions? Do you remain
steadfast in His Word and therefore in no wise become ashamed when
Christ returns because you will still be a spiritual virgin and will not
have been seduced by antichrist.
How
do you walk in the light? The Word of God is the light! You can walk in
magnificent churches with stain glassed windows, you can walk on holy ground,
you can walk among holy men, you can walk around all over town and say
"Praise the Lord" to everyone, but if you do walk in the Word of God, you
walk in darkness everywhere you walk!
If
you're for godly government and you want the Christain/God-created, man/woman-only
defended, and you want to restore our original constitutional republic,
vote Constitution Party. Do not waste your vote on Republicans or Democrats
because they have no desire to do any of these things.
In
practice, anti-life politicians in pro-life costumes perpetrate their offense
as follows:
1) They claim that Roe v. Wade legalized abortion
2) They pass sham legislation ("outlaw" one specific procedure, thus,
providing blueprints for what one may "legally" do to kill innocent babies)
3) Via this sham legislation, they actively recognize abortion as
legitimate, even "legal" -- while claiming to be pro-life (they use titles
like "The Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003")
Where
do you find the logic? When choosing Miss America we pick from 52 contestants,
but when choosing our President we pick from only two candidates. Most
times holding our nose while voting for the lessor of two evils! Shame
on us!
Notice
to all Christians:
If
we would only eat the true bread of life and drink the pure living water
from the fountain of truth [The Bible] whereby we could build up a sure
foundation in His Word, the Rock of our salvation, we would not stagger
nor stumble and fall to our spiritual death during the great tribulation
of these last days.
Attention:
Supporters of the two major political parties, whether you are Republican
of Democrat.
If
you don't vote for what you believe, you'll never get what you want. Stop
wasting your vote on people who don't believe what you believe.
You
cease and desist from listening to the lofty words of flesh men and women
and you start listening to your Father, to His Word, for it is He before
whom you shall stand and give account, not some man. You may have a high
and mighty preacher but he or she is not going to be there to give account
for you on that day! You are going to stand alone, so won't you turn to
the Lord thy God and seek Him now, while it is yet today? He loves you
very much and He is waiting to bless you and make your sins white as snow!
And He has promised that you shall live and you shall eat of the good of
the land.
Therefore
make sure you don't follow after the traditions of men and find yourself
suddenly shaken and woken up on that great day only to find yourself naked
and ashamed at His coming. Take heed to that which is written and "cease
ye from the lofty words of men"... and seek ye the LORD!
Question?
If one were to look upon the walls of your mind, what would he or she find
etched there foremost, at the front? Many would actually have a big church
or denomination etched there, an idol indeed, in lieu of having the Word
of God written and sealed in the forefront of their minds, i.e. in their
foreheads! If you do not have the seal of God written in your forehead,
in your mind... well, even though you seek after Bethel, which is go to
church regularly, it is written that you shall become prey to those dirty
birds, Satan's locust army that we talked about earlier, the ones who seek
after dead carcasses, and you will be taken and seduced by the false messiah.
Rev. 9:4 "And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass
of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those
men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads." And as it
is also written, as a result of being seduced by the false messiah, you
shall stand naked and ashamed at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Apart
from God we are no different than animals. Read Pamphlet 1399 from
Ecclesiastes in the table of contents on the left of this screen.
What
an exciting time in which to live? Did you know that the majority of the
prophecies contained in the Word of God were written for these last days,
the days of the generation of the fig tree which began on May 15, 1948.
That means that the Baby Boomer generation is the generation Jesus Christ
said would not pass away until all the things He foretold us of in Matthew
24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 came to pass (Mat. 24:34).
Republic,
democracy? I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,
and to the "Democracy" for which it stands. Does anyone see what
is wrong with this statement?
This
is a problem for many voters, they've forgotten their country's heritage.
Our Founding Fathers formed our government as a republic. A republic
is representative government ruled by law (the Constitution). A democracy
is direct government ruled by the majority (mob rule). A republic recognizes
the inalienable rights of individuals, while democracies are only concerned
with group wants.
Kind
of like two foxes and a chicken voting on what to have for supper!
The
nation called Israel today is not the true House of Israel at all. In fact
it is really the House of Judah and then only in PART for it is mixed with
those who are descendants of Judah along with those who claim to be of
Judah but are definitely not! They are the good and the bad figs respectively,
spoken of in Jeremiah chapter 24 which were set out in the land of Judea
on May 15, 1948, marking the planting of the fig tree Christ spoke of in
His parable in Mat. 24 and Mark 13.
To
understand how that answer is derived one must first know the difference
between an Hebrew, an Israelite, and a Jew. All Hebrews are not Israelites
and all Israelites are not Jews (the word Hebrew comes from "eber" meaning
the people from across the river (Euphrates), i.e. the descendants of Noah
who went forth after the flood). For example, Lot was an Hebrew and also
Abraham's nephew, but he would never be in the lineage of his cousin Isaac,
Abraham's son who would beget Jacob whose named would be changed to Israel.
Israel (Jacob) had 12 sons, only one of whom was Judah. So while all descendants
of Judah are of Israel, MOST (11 out of 12) of the descendants of Israel
are not of Judah. How could they possibly be? Think about it. Though it
may sound a little complicated at first, it is really quite simple.
Abraham
|
Isaac
|
Jacob (Israel)
|
The 12 sons of Israel, i.e. Reuben, Simeon, Judah (only one out of 12),
etc.
All
12 tribes of Israel were at one time a single united nation until the death
of king Solomon. Then the nations split apart and Judah along with Benjamin
became known as the southern House of Judah and the northern 10 tribes
became known as the House of Israel. If you look in the back of most Bibles
you will find maps showing these two separate houses. The House of Israel
was taken captive long before Judah and eventually those tribes migrated
north over the Caucasus mountains and then into western Europe, the British
Isles and later to the Americas. They became known as the lost 10 tribes
of Israel, simply because they have lost their identity and do not know
who they are. But if you will take the time to learn and understand where
they went and who they are
today
then you will understand upon whom God sheds His grace. Clue: It is on
the object of "thee"! Start singing!
Let
us be reminded that the name Isaiah means "Yahveh's salvation", the complete
plan of which is given to us in detail in the Bible. To that end, let us
also be reminded that it is part of God's complete and wondrous plan in
these last days to allow the spiritual desolation of the whole world to
take place, including the spiritual desolation of the House of Israel...
with the exception of those who have the seal of God in their foreheads
(Rev. 9:4). That global spiritual slaughter shall be brought about by the
desolator himself, Satan the anti-christos, meaning the "instead-of-Christ",
who shall come stand in the holy place (Mat. 24:15) and sit in temple of
God claiming to be God (2 Thes. 2:4). As it is written in the 9th chapter
of Daniel, that abomination of desolation, i.e. the abominable one, shall
come and cast his wicked net (Hab. 1:15) upon the whole world and spread
forth a world wide web of lies and deceptions... causing spiritual desolation
indeed. That overflowing, that flood of lies (Rev. 12:15), that
smoke from the pit (Rev. 9:2) that darkens the sun (light of truth) and
the air (spiritual atmosphere), shall cause the daily sacrifice, which
is our communion to Jesus Christ, to be taken away and given unto the false
messiah, Satan himself (Dan. 9:27). In other words, the majority of Christians
will believe that the false messiah, Satan who comes posing as the Lamb
of God (Rev. 13:11), is indeed Jesus Christ and
therefore... believing
him to be the One who shed His blood for them, they will take communion
unto him.
We
have so much in this final generation, e.g. electronic gadgets galore,
automobiles, planes, and luxury and comfort and entertainment beyond the
wildest imagination of our forefathers! These are the things that one would
see foremost written in the forefront of the minds of the multitude of
our people! You "see", it is what you spend your time pursuing,
following
after, that becomes an idol to you, i.e. that is what you worship.
Many people place their comfort and security in their jobs, their healthcare
plans, their retirement funds, their homes, etc, etc. They have little
or no time to study and meditate upon their Father's Word! Therefore in
that sense, they already worship the beast for they follow after
the system and depend on it for their welfare and well-being!
To
be a patriot means standing on the firm foundation of God's justice in
the face of oppression, injustice, and obloquy. A patriot is one
who stands with his country because his country stands for right. But should
his country turn toward the wrong, as ours is doing more and more lately,
then a patriot must stand against his country. A true patriot as well as
a genuine leader must always take the higher ground of God's law when confronted
with the evils of man's law.
Where
does true spiritual strength come from? It comes from eating and digesting
that precious spiritual food which is the bread of life, the Word of God.
Surely you have heard the old adage, "You are what you eat", and that is
as true on the spiritual level as it is on the physical. EZEK-I-EL, whose
name means "God is my strength", was told to eat the entire roll, the Word
of God, and digest it in his bowels until it became a part of him. THEN,
after he had internalized God's Word, he was sent to the house of Israel
to speak unto them with HIS WORDS, not the words of men. Ezekiel 3:3-4
"And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy
bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in
my mouth as honey for sweetness. [4] And he said unto me, Son of man, go,
get thee unto the house of Israel, and
speak with my words unto them."
Have
you ever heard the phrase "Back in Biblical Times", as if God's Word stopped
in history somewhere along the way? Well guess what? It's a
stupid statement! Because these are the most exciting Biblical times
in the history of mankind. Right now! All the prophets and
disciples wanted to know what it would be like in 2004 A.D. Checked
your calendar lately? Checked world events lately? Noticed
any "contractions"?
Please
turn to Isaiah 28: 9 - 13 to find out who it is that the Lord will teach
knowledge and the understanding of doctrine.
Here's
something else that's amazing throughout the Bible! All prophecy
as to length of time given in God's Word concerning Satan and the children
of the night, is given in lunar terminology (because they are a bunch of
lunartics). All prophecy as to length of time given concerning God's children,
the children of light, is given in solar terminology.
And
so the latter day rain (The Lord's Precious Word) is now falling, if only
you will allow it to water the buds of your mind whereby you grow in grace
and knowledge of the Lord and your love for Him increases each day.
The
inconsistency of opinion as to when a fetus becomes a person is apparent
even in the operating rooms. During prenatal surgeries, which are
often done to a 20-week-old fetus (pre-born baby) to correct potentially
catastrophic problems such as heart malformations and spina bifida, doctors
and nurses routinely refer to them as "patients" while at the same time
the law says they are not yet viable human beings and allows them to be
destroyed in another operating room just down the hall.
There
were Two TREES in the garden, the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge
of Good and Evil (the little box cedar), there are Two ROCKS (a big "R"
and a little "r"), there are Two Christ's and there are Two Christianities,
the "religion", i.e. illusion, and the "reality".
Patrick
Henry stated: “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that
this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians,
not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ! For this very reason
peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom
of worship here.”
Samuel
Adams, one of our country's greatest patriots and the “Father of the American
Revolution”, in his widely circulated letter to the Colonists in 1772 wrote:
“The
Supreme Power (British Parliament) cannot justly take from any man any
part of his property, without his consent. The natural rights of
the Colonists are these: First, a right to life; Second, a right to liberty;
Third, to property; together with the right to support and defend them
in the best manner they can. The rights of the Colonist as Christians may
be best understood by reading and carefully studying the institutes of
the Great Law Giver and Head of the Christian Church, which are to be found
clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament”.
James
Madison wrote: “To preserve the Republic, it is in the hands of the
people. We have staked the whole future of American civilization not upon
the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all
of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government;
upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control
ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments”.
John
Adams wrote: “The Constitution was made only for a moral and religious
people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other”. In a
Christian nation, the people make the laws, but the Church makes the people.
When the Church fails to bring the necessary moral influence, the
“letter” of the law will not work.
America
- A land where our Federal Government now taxes us more then we can
afford to provide services we don't need or want leaving our Local Governments
without a way to acquire the means to provide the services we do need and
want.
Haven't
you ever wondered how it could possibly be that Satan when he comes to
earth is able to "deceiveth the whole world" (Rev. 12:9)? If what
"main stream" Christianity is teaching, i.e. their traditional doctrines,
is true, then how could this be? Is the majority right when most professing
Christians are completely Biblically illiterate? Think about it? If a person
is deceived it means that they believe something to be true that is, in
fact, no so. Folks, it is "religion" that prevents our people from seeing
the truth of God's Word. So, while the majority of Christianity today
teaches that Jesus Christ can return at any moment, both Jesus Christ and
the apostle Paul WARNED about being deceived concerning His return. Jesus
said repeatedly that many would come claiming to represent Him, i.e. as
Christian ministers, and would deceive MANY, the multitudes, not just a
few! Take a look at what the majority teaches concerning our gathering
back to Christ, then read what Paul says in 2 Thes. 2. Here it is: 2 Thes.
2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and by our gathering together unto him, The subject is the 7th Trump, the
return of Christ, and our gathering back to Him. 2 Thes. 2:3 Let no man
deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come
a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
We are NOT going to gather back to Christ until the son of perdition is
revealed. There is only one son of perdition, Satan himself. What does
this "revealing" mean? [4] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all
that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in
the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Constitutional
Protection
There
is an aspect of the gun control issue that has received some attention,
but which deserves much greater recognition as a priority: the reason our
founding states demanded (among others) the second amendment.
Remember,
these people had just concluded the American Revolution against unrepresentative
government... they certainly did not want another unaccountable power structure.
This is why we have the constitutional division of government power. In
fact, the single most important element of that division is the vote, as
installation/removal of leaders is the determining factor in long-term
government action, through determination of consensus.
But
what if elected leaders do abuse their power (keep in mind the inherent
government tendency to extend control) and become unreasonably oppressive?
Enter
the First Amendment providing for free speech, even if antagonistic to
government dictate.
And
if free speech clarifies a consensus that government is violating the Constitution,
the Second Amendment provides constitutional assurance that citizenry is
legally allowed the means to forcibly defend itself from repressive government.
This does not mean citizens may keep weapons of impersonal mass destruction
(largely unknown in 1789). It does mean it is entirely appropriate for
citizens to maintain capability of defense against anti-personnel technology
employed unconstitutionally, and, if anything, the degree should favor
the citizenry.
The
Second Amendment is the essence of our Constitutional Republic. "people
power." Without it, you have no assured right to command respect
from an over-lawed overlord.
Once
again, if you outlaw guns...
If
I were a criminal, I'd certainly feel more secure about attacking unarmed
citizens than I would going after well-armed citizens who
could
shoot back and defend themselves. I'm just like any other crook in that
respect: I _Love_ Me! ... Your average crook
What
is it that God, our Father, desires from His children? If you are a
parent yourself then the answer to this question is intuitive for He wants
the same thing from His children as you want from yours. In other words,
He wants His children to love Him and listen to His wisdom, His Word, so
they can be happy and successful, which thus gives Him great pleasure and
joy, which is WHY He created His children in the first place (Rev. 4:11
"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou
hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.)
The question is, "Have you given Him much pleasure lately?" Hosea 6:6 For
I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than
burnt offerings.
Some
present day Jews are Israelites from the tribe of Judah. The
Israelites (all 12 tribes) are God's chosen people. Many Israelies
(Jews from Israel of today) are not Israelites or even of Judah
or Benjamin which made up the original nation of Judah. The other
10 tribes of Israelites who made up the original nation of Israel; where
do you suppose they are today? You won't need to spend much time
on this web site to find out!

. . The power to declare war, including the power of judging the causes
of war, is fully and exclusively vested in the legislature . . .
the executive has no right, in any case, to decide the question,
whether there is or is not cause for declaring war."

Madison - 1793
Have
you ever noticed that precious metals such as gold and silver and precious
gems like diamonds and rubies do not lie in abundance out in the open fields
for passersby to just reach down and pick up? No, those "riches" are hidden
deep in the heart of the earth and IF you desire to have them you must
labor and search for them and dig them out! And so it is with the precious
riches found in the Word of God that lie at a deeper level beneath the
surface. Those riches are reserved for the workman who studies and shows
himself approved and who rightly divides the Word of God (2 Tim. 2:15).
"If
you don't understand the Old Testament, how are you to understand the New
Testament?"
This
is only speculation, but think about it, since your experience of death
in this flesh age is part of God's plan to save your soul you may be
required to watch films of your physical death at some time during
summer school (The Millennium).
Not
long ago, reading the Minor Prophets was like reading tomorrow's newspaper.
That still remains somewhat true to this day! However, as the Baby Boomer
generation of the fig tree has "ripened with age", some sections of those
Minor Prophets now contain current events, "TODAY'S NEWS", and some sections
even contain history, i.e. prophecies fulfilled! So we all need to stay
awake and be alert and not fall asleep on the watch.
The
Book of Ezekiel was written for the "right moment" in the Divine order
of God's Plan. It was written to the "watchmen" of this final generation,
to those who possess a "higher degree" of knowledge and understanding of
His Word, to those servants of His who have "eaten the scroll and digested
it in their bowels"
Have
you seen God? If you have "seen" the Son, the Word of God, you have "seen"
the Father. Do you know where to
look for Him, to "see" him? (Hint:
Look in His Word! Jesus Christ is the Word! The Bread of Life!)
"When
all government, domestic and foreign, in little as in great things, shall
be drawn to Washington as the center of all power, it will render powerless
the checks provided of one government on another and will become as venal
and oppressive as the government from which we separated." Thomas Jefferson,
Letter to Charles Hammond [1821]
"Peace,
commerce, and honest friendship with all nations -- entangling alliances
with none." --Thomas Jefferson

the Pharisees could have gotten our "Hate Crime" laws passed through the
Roman Senate, they could have made the prosecution and crucifixion of Jesus
even easier" ...Lancelot Knight
"As
to the final outcome, all taxes, whether collected from individuals or
businesses, are paid either directly or indirectly by people who work to
earn a living, but are not in a position to pass the cost of their tax
burden unto someone else for reimbursement." ...John Rhine
"No
free man shall ever be de-barred the use of arms. The strongest reason
for the people to retain their right to keep and bear arms is as a last
resort to protect themselves against tyranny in government." ...Thomas
Jefferson
"False
is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one
imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because
it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that has no remedy for
evils, except destruction. The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are
laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined
nor determined to commit crimes. Can it be supposed that those who have
the courage to violate the most sacred laws of humanity, the most important
of the code, will respect the less important and arbitrary ones, which
can be violated with ease and impunity, and which, if strictly obeyed,
would put an end to personal liberty--so dear to men, so dear to the enlightened
legislator--and subject innocent persons to all the vexations that the
guilty alone ought to suffer? Such laws make things worse for the assaulted
and better for the assailants; they serve to rather to encourage than to
prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence
than an armed man. They ought to be designated as laws not preventative
but fearful of crimes, produced by the tumultuous impression of a few isolated
facts, and not by thoughtful consideration of the inconveniences and advantages
of a universal decree." ... Cesare Beccaria's 1764 book On Crimes and Punishments.
Eccles.
3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under
the heaven: [2] A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant,
and a time to pluck up that which is planted; [3] A time to kill, and a
time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; [4] A time
to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; [5]
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time
to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; [6] A time to get, and
a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; [7] A time
to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
[8] A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
One of the really helpful things we will learn from this 3rd chapter of
Ecclesiastes is that these 28 seasons and times happen to everyone,
and therefore we should not be taken by surprise by any of the things that
happen in our lives, but rather learn to discern the season and times that
we are in and then realize that there is a purpose so that we may act accordingly
and appropriately. The other thing we must know is that our Father
is in complete control of the times and seasons and though He changes them,
He gives the wisdom and knowledge to those with eyes to see and ears to
hear as to how to cope and deal with each and every one of them.
