The Lies of The Gospel of Judas.

Many new religions and cults, see the manuscript of the so called, Gospel of Judas, as historical and Biblical fact. The facts, as we see it, come not from man but from God. The fact is that Judas Iscariot was cursed and condemned to everlasting punishment in the lake of Fire, for his part in the betrail of Jesus. These so call Christian Gnostic (Knowledge) Gospels are an illusion and far from being fact. If these people would read not just the New Testament facts, but the Old Testament Prophecy's, they would see that the prophecy's of the betrayer of Christ and the predictions were written before these so called gospels. For example; “Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.” Psa 55:12-15; For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them. Psa_41:9, Psa_55:12-15Isa_53:10; Zec_13:7 These gospels are a denial of Biblical fact and are trying to deceive the very elect, as the Bible indicates, would take place. That is the reason that God stated that He would shorten the days. Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. In a recently published article by a, World Peace Religion, member, we read the following. “Quote”;Well, this revelation about Judas is nothing compared to the others in the Christian Knowledge Gospels. In the Koran, (Sura Chapter 4:156) the angel Gabriel who brought Mary the good news tells the Prophet Muhammad that in fact Jesus was not even crucified, a likeness, an impostor was, because this was the story in the Christian Knowledge Gospels which were burned by the Church Fathers forever (they hoped) 1,700 years ago. The Gnostic Gospel of Judas never mentions the crucifixion or the resurrection. Seth was the third child of Adam and Eve. There was a group of Gnostic (Knowledge) Christians named after Seth, Sethians. In the Christian Gospel called "The Second Treatise of The Great Seth", 56.6-19 in NHL 332, Jesus Christ told Simon, "It was another...who drank the gall and the vinegar; it was not I... it was another Simon, who bore the cross on his shoulder. It was another upon whom they placed the crown of thorns. But I was rejoicing in the height (the hills) over… their error. And I was laughing at their ignorance. (for thinking it was I who they were crucifying)". The Christian Gnostic Knowledge Gospels contradict the 4 Canonized Gospels in the New Testament endlessly. The 4 New Testament Gospels contradict themselves endlessly. “Unquote” The term "gnostic" derives from "gnosis," which means "knowledge" in Greek. The Gnostic's believed that they were privy to a secret knowledge about the divine, hence the name. (Huxley coined "agnosticism" on the basis that all knowledge must be based on reason. We cannot rationally claim to have access to knowledge that is beyond the powers of the intellect. There is nowhere in the scripture that states, that the knowledge of God toward man, is limited to any, sect nor generation, but is open to all whom seek this knowledge. Let us now look at the Bible for the facts about Judas and the Crucification. Mat 26:24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. In these following statements we see how Biblical interpretation gets many into false religions and into much trouble. “Quote”;One need only look right in the Holy Bible to see what is really going on. God the Father said through Prophet Isaiah that the Bible writers, the Priests and Prophets who wrote the Bibles, “the scribes were creating for the people a shelter, a refuge, of lies and falsehoods, (Isaiah 28:14-15) which would cause the people to fall backward and be broken and ensnared and taken.” (Isaiah 28:9-13). God the Father called the Holy Bible “The Word of Satan!” God said to the scribes, "You prophesy by Baal, Beelzebub, Satan!" (Jeremiah 2:8). God the Father said, "They (the scribes) say, 'Says the Lord', when the Lord has not sent them, and yet they wait for the fulfillment of their word!" (Ezekiel 13:6). Jesus launched into an absolute diatribe in Matthew 23 calling the Bible writers, the scribes, lying venomous snakes who spewed their own divisive racist deadly hateful lies right into your Holy Bible and signed them, “said God”, and “said Jesus”. Jesus lambasted the scribes and those who followed the same Old Testament followed by Judaism, Christianity and Islam today.”Unquote.” Isa 41:24 Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of naught: an abomination is he that chooseth you. As far as hell and the lake of fire being a man made thought, lets read; Isa 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. These Christian Gnostic (Knowledge) Gospels not only deny the New Testament accounts but they also deny the Old Testament Accounts of prophecy. These are the Blind leading the Blind. Those that follow, these types of teachings, are those who, have no knowledge in them of the works of Christ. These people deny all the prophetic word of the Old Testament such as these verses, just to name a few; If God were unrighteous, would He be able to Judge the World? No. God is just and no lier. False doctrine, Teachings and Teachers, seek to justify themselves for their lack of understanding and knowledge by calling that which is Good, Evil and Evil, Good. ars Isa_50:5, Isa_50:6, Isa_53:1-12; Dan_9:26; Zec_12:10, Zec_13:7; Mar_9:12; Luk_24:25, Luk_24:26, Luk_24:46; Joh_19:24, Joh_19:28, Joh_19:36, Joh_19:37; Act_13:27-29, Act_17:2-3, Act_26:22, Act_26:23, Act_28:23; 1Co_15:3; 1Pe_1:11 ars

Bible Prophecy. 4. Into Everlasting Shame.

Bible Prophecy. 4. Into Everlasting Shame.Dan 12:1-10; And at that time shall Michael (Arc-Angel) stand up, the great prince (A Prince of The Angels) which standeth for the children of thy people (Israel): and there shall be a time of trouble (The Tribulation.), such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people (The Church) shall be delivered (Raptured) ( The word “Delivered means, fetch, get, Convey, removed from one area to another.), every one that shall be found written in the book (Book of Life). And many of them that sleep (That are Dead) in the dust of the earth (Buried) shall awake (Rise), some to everlasting life (Judged worthy to enter into Heaven), and some to shame and everlasting contempt.(Judged unrighteous and will enter into the Lake of Fire.) And they that be wise (Full of understanding) shall shine as the brightness of the firmament ( Those that have listened and believed Gods Word.); and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. ( Ministers that have preached the truth.) But thou, O Daniel (A prophet of the time of Nebuchadnezzar and Cyrus, the hero and author of the Book of Daniel.), shut up the words ( Add no other words.), and seal the book (Seal up the understanding until it is ready to be reveled.), even to the time of the end ( The terminal Generation.): many shall run to and fro ( Transportation is great and seekers of all knowledge seek after more.), and knowledge shall be increased ( Mans understanding of the law of nature and physics.). Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two(Angels), the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river. And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? And I heard the man clothed in linen (Gabriel), which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people (Christians & Jews), all these things shall be finished.( Presumed to be the Arc Angels, Gabriel and Michael.) And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. ( This is not only the understanding of the meaning of Scripture but also the meaning of Prophecy.) Without understanding prophecy, we have a lack of understanding of the entire Bible. Did you ever wonder why Jesus stated that He fulfilled the Law instead of saying the Old testament was no longer needed, or that the Law was finished? Its because the Old Testament holds great future meaning for all mankind. The Ten Commandments are still in effect. Tho the ritual part of the Mosaic Law has no tie to the Gentile Race of people. The Disciples ask a very important question to Jesus on the Salvation of Man. Mat 19:23-25 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? There are two different classes that God sees, 1. Those that are in First Adam and 2. Those in Last Adam. First Adam signifies, those that are still carnal and unrighteous. We were all born into First Adam, but thru our faith in Christ we were born again into Last Adam. Those that are still in First Adam when they die are those that will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven but are thrown into the Lake of Fire. First Adam offered no salvation to the gentiles.1Co 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. The gentile race were trying to copy the sacrificial properties of the Jewish Priest, but to no avail. At this time God did not recognize the gentiles as a people. Mat 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. The word,”regeneration” Which is only found in Mat.19:28 and Tit.3:5., means a “new birth.” The Greek word so rendered is palingenesia. In Mat.19:28 the word is equivalent to the “restitution of all things” (Acts.3:21). In Titus 3:5 it denotes that change of heart elsewhere spoken of as a passing from death to life (1Jo.3:14); becoming a new creature in Christ Jesus (2Co.5:17); being born again (John.3:5); a renewal of the mind (Rom.12:2); a resurrection from the dead (Eph.2:6); a being quickened.(Made alive) (Eph.2:1, Eph.2:5). This change is ascribed to the Holy Spirit. It originates not with man but with God (John.1:12, John.1:13; 1Jo.2:29; 1Jo.5:1, 1Jo.5:4). As to the nature of the change, it consists in the implanting of a new principle or disposition in the soul; the impartation of spiritual life to those who are by nature “dead in trespasses and sins.” The necessity of such a change is emphatically affirmed in Scripture (John.3:3; Rom.7:18; Rom.8:7-9; 1Co.2:14; Eph.2:1; Eph.4:21-24). “And some to shame and everlasting contempt”, These are the ones that have rejected everything that you have just read. Mankind has gotten to the point, its me and no one else, my needs first, fulfilling the lust of my body, my prominence, my prestige. The difference between Christianity and the un-believers is simple. A Christian must and will, put the needs of others first, including the Will of God, The Truth of the Bible and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. The Un-believer does not have The Trinity to lead nor guide him. He makes decisions based on his lust for power and lust for Gain. So who will be lost, who will be damed to everlasting fire? Rev 22:15 For without are dogs (A term of reproach or contempt given to a man.), and sorcerers("Wizards," (Lev. 19:31). Consulter-s of "the dead," 'oboth (Lev_20:6), "those having familiar spirits" which they consulted to evoke the dead; ), and whoremongers(Panderer, whore-master, a controller), and murderers (Assassins.), and idolaters (Those that worship idols, money, gold, power, false gods, ect.,) and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie ( a perverter of the truth). 1Co 6:9-10 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators ( Those that co-mitt adultery), nor idolaters (Idol worshipers.), nor adulterers ( Same as a fornicator), nor effeminate (a person characterized by excessive softness or self-indulgence, having unsuitable feminine qualities, not possessing qualities befitting a man, Belonging to or having the characteristics of both the male and the female, having Homo-sexual trates, Effeminate; unmanly.), nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. end pt. 4. ars

Bible Prophecy.pt.3b.Falling Stars and Abortion

Bible Prophecy.pt.3b.Falling Stars and Abortion.Bible Prophecy is not intended to harm but to in-lighten. To In-lighten the dark recesses of misunderstanding and doubt. To bring forth the truth and dispel the lies. Part 3b will be on falling stars the spiritual and the physical. A Star is, 1.A self-luminous celestial body consisting of a mass of gas held together by its own gravity. 2. A symbol of rank or merit. 3. The future; destiny. Falling stars are represented by three things in Scripture. 1. Metours. 2. Angelic beings. and 3. A representation of great destruction and peril, a plague that will cause the earth great distress. 1Co 15:41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. This is the glory of the physical and the spiritual. Differences of Angels. As with the sun and the moon. The sun has its glory, for its brightness and warmth, hard to look upon because of its power, as with God. The Moon has its glory, a soft white light which is looked upon freely, a comforting glow that lights our way thru the night as with the Son of God, Jesus. 2Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; where-unto ye do well that ye take heed,( It must be understood that prophecy is commanded to be understood and taught by those with the understanding.) as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: (”a more sure word of prophecy”, Not that the prophecy's of the past were not sure, but that we have a better understanding of the prophecy's today because of our working knowledge of the entire world and its unrighteousness.) Rev 8:10-11. And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Worm-wood ( a representation of what this star will cause, bitterness and death. The name by which the Greeks designated it, absinthion, means “undrinkable.”): and the third part of the waters became worm-wood (That word, worm-wood, becomes the proper emblem of bitterness); and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter(an emblem of the calamity). The death of man will be exceedingly great because of the spiritual and physical meaning of these stars. In this Reference, Exo.15:23-24, we see Biblical proof, that these thing are probable. And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? Barnes states of Rev. 8:11(Great destruction and devastation are undoubtedly intended to be denoted by this - destruction that would be well represented in a land by the natural effects if a considerable part of the waters were, by their bitterness, made unfit to drink.) Rev 9:1-3; And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a “star”( The word star here refers to an angelic being with whom power was given to accomplish the will of God on the Earth) fall from heaven ( His point of origin.) unto the earth ( His destination.): and to him ( The word Him denotes that the word star and him are joined together, meaning the same thing. This angel is called a star.) was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. ( We could assimilate the star with death and destruction, even with the death angel.)(The sun is the religion of the Church; the moon is the government of the state; and the stars are the judges and doctors of both. Isa.13:10; Eze.32:7, Eze.32:8, etc.”Lightfoot.) Mat 24:28-29; For wheresoever the carcase is ( The Dead.), there will the eagles be gathered together ( Scavengers, meat eaters.). Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: ( A great calamity of the Heavens. Gravity will no longer have hold on the celestial bodys.) (The Stars, the Sun and the Moon were not created for God but for man. The stars will fall, for their light will no longer be needed.) Gen 1:14-16; And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. We must ask ourselves why, Mat 24:28-29, is so hard to take as literal and not spiritual? We see stars falling from the heavens on a daily bases. We see proof of their destruction all around the world and many times they leave no trace of their existence when they fall. Asterites, Asteroids, Comets, ect. Past and Future. Man prides himself on his knowledge of science but he still misses the subtle points of truth, when he ignores the prophetic meaning of the scripture. God intends to use the stars of the heavens to shake men into repenting of their sins. But as we see in scripture, this calamity will have no effect on the hardness of mans heart. Rev 9:18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths ( These words designate, a command to happen, as with the two witnesses in Rev 11:3-15.) And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. Rev 9:20-21; And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. Luke 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: It is so easy to believe that stars(Brimstone) Fell from heaven and consumed Sodom and Gomorrah, but we have a hard time believing that God will do it again, as He promised in prophecy. [Job.1:16; Job.18:15]. Hell was rained from heaven upon them. Fire, and brimstone, and a horrible tempest, were the portion of their cup (Psa.11:6); Brimstone: The word rendered “brimstone,” (q.d. brennestone, or brinnestone, id est burning-stone), is always rendered by the LXX “sulphur,” and seems to denote a meteorous inflammable matter. Weather these falling stars are from volxanic action, hail stones from heaven or the actual stars from the cosmose, you pick one, the matter is that it will happen. end pt. 3b.

Bible Prophecy. pt.3a.Falling Stars and Abortion.

Bible Prophecy. pt.3a.Falling Stars and Abortion.Abortion;Gal 4:16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? Rom 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) Children are conceived and born without works neither being good nor evil nor with a formed character and manifested qualities which make them being an individual for the express purpose of God. Every child that is conceived has been predestinated by God before the foundation of the world. God in His infinite wisdom, allows us, as individuals, to make choices, weather they be righteous or unrighteous. So are those who abort a child, committing murder or most importantly, interfering with the will of God? Exo 21:22-25; If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. The Old Testament Law was never abolished by Jesus, He fulfilled it. (M.H.)God often executes it in the course of his providence, making the punishment, in many cases, to answer to the sin, as Jdg.1:7; Isa.33:1; Hab.2:13; Mat.26:52. The particular care which the law took of women with child, that no hurt should be done them which might occasion their mis-carrying. The law of nature obliges us to be very tender in that case, lest the tree and fruit be destroyed together, Exo.21:22, Exo.21:23. Women with child, who are thus taken under the special protection of the law of God, if they live in his fear, may still believe themselves under the special protection of the providence of God, and hope that they shall be saved in child-bearing. On this occasion comes in that general law of retaliation which our Saviour refers to, Mat.5:38, An eye for an eye. The execution of this law is not hereby put into the hands of private persons. The word,”predestinated” means; (For ordained by divine will or decree, pre-established or prearranged.) Pro.15:3, Gen.18:21. Eph 1:5-6: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. (References, Isa.10:2, Isa.13:15-18; Jer.7:6, Jer.22:3; Eze.22:7; Mal.3:5.) All children conceived and or born, is declared in scripture as the Heritage of God, joint heirs to the Kingdom. Sense these children are, pre-established or prearranged, by God, what does it say to the subject of aborting a prearranged conception in the womb? Exo 22:22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. Psa 94:5-6; They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. Many in history, have called a child born out of wedlock a bastard. This word is not to mean a child born in such a way but to the contrary, it means a person who is not adopted into the Family of God. Heb 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. This phrase is concerning the lack of want to change in to the ways of the Lord. Refusing, correction and instruction. Prophecy comes in many forms, in this instance, abortion is coming into line with prophecy, in the form of changing the meaning of the word of God. Changing the meaning and words of, “pre-established” & “predestinated” to a form of, ”By Choice and By Chance”. They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. Many anti-abortions protesters today try to use the words of Scripture, “Thou Shalt not Kill.” as their justification for trying to hault abortion. This phrase from scripture is true but people are using it in the wrong context. Killing from Biblical times has been used to protect the Sovereignty of Gods people. David, Jehu and other Kings of Israel. Protecting your Family and people are types of Killing that God recognizes. The killing spoken of is, killing or murder of the innocents, without justification. James 4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Remember what we said earlier about, “pre-established” & “predestinated” ? Even the ones that advocate, pro-choice, are and have been predestinated to be born. What if the anti-abortion patrons would have said, let these people be aborted, so that we can have freedom of choice? Their lives are due to two things, Gods will, and the patrons of right to life. God will not interfere with the choices that we make but we will be judged on our works, weather they be good or evil. Here is the slaughter of the Babies. Mat 2:16-18 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. The big-est question that we must face is, “What If.” You say that Matthew 2:16-18, has nothing to do with abortion, well it actually does. These children we cut off before they fulfilled their destiny ( as with abortion), but to fulfill scripture God allowed this murder to happen. Not of His own will but of the will of man concerning the apropreation of His own Power. Prophecy; 2 Peter 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious (Harmful) ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. Prophecy; 2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Prophecy; 2Th 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Prophecy; Isa 49:15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Women today have forgotten the fruit of their womb, fulfilling prophecy again. Prophecy; Abortion will cease to exist. The wrongs righted, the evil destroyed, the in-humanity of man will be replaced by justice to the unborn. Isa 65:20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Women today want to abort children because of their own sin and lust of the flesh. Children have become a burden and not a blessing, . Abortion has become a conviencience for the lustful. Just remember prophecy, remember: And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth. end part 3a. Part 3b. will be“Falling Stars.”ars.

Bible Prophecy 2.”Earthquakes & War”

Bible Prophecy 2.”Earthquakes & War”In part 2, of our Bible Prophecy series, we will look at earthquakes, War and their effect, not only on mankind, but of how they are effecting prophecy. Earthquakes have always occurred from the foundation of the earth. Why then are earthquakes so important now? The number and locations are the devideing factor between the earthquakes of the past and the ones that we are experience today. What is a earthquake, trembling or shaking movement of the earth's surface. Most earthquakes are minor tremors. Larger earthquakes usually begin with slight tremors but rapidly take the form of one or more violent shocks, and end in vibrations of gradually diminishing force called aftershocks. On average about 1,000 earthquakes with intensities of 5.0 or greater are recorded each year. Great earthquakes (intensity 8.0 or higher) occur once a year, major earthquakes (intensity 7.0–7.9) occur 18 times a year, strong earthquakes (intensity 6.0–6.9) 10 times a month, and moderate earthquakes (intensity 5.0–5.9) more than twice a day. God has built in a natural safety valve into the earth for expansion and contraction. This safety valve is called an earthquake. The number, magnitude and location is important in understanding the Scriptures that deal with the end days. The first scripture that we will deal with is Matthew 24:7. 1.For nation shall rise against nation, ( The number of wars are continuing to grow each year. In just my life time, I have seen, Wars in Viet-Nam, Granada, The cold war with the Soviet Union, Iraq 1, Iraq 2 , Afghanistan, Israel and all their wars with Egypt, Iran, Syria, East Bank, and the Gaza Strip, ect and The unseen war with the extreme elements of Alqaeda and The Nation of Muslim fanatics The Soviet Union and Afghanistan) and 2. kingdom against kingdom: The Muslim Nation is divided concerning Jehad and the way to convert all men to Mohmmad-ism. The United Nations are split into pieces barely holding on, because of the division among all nations.) and 3.there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. ( This section is easy to understand and relate to, India, Pakistan, Africa, Bird Flue, ect. The fear of another pandemic is growing among not only the people of earth but also the medical community.) (In recent years, and especially in 2005, we have seen earthquakes occur in China, Pakistan, America, South America, Japan, China, Philippens, The Soviet Union, ect.) Mark 13:8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. (“these are the beginnings of sorrows.”) The Bible tells us in the end days, there will be a significant change in the nature of the earth and the attitude of man. Why is all this happening? The will of man, his pride, arrogance, lust for power, possessions and fame, have over ridden the will of God and man kinds love for one another. Hate, distrust, fear, suspicion, prejudice, have all become the catalyst for many a disaster in the world and will be the down fall of man. To prove what I have already said, lets look at two sections of Scripture from the Book of Revelations. 1.Rev 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen( This is past occurrence and future prophecy.), that great city ( The habitation of the Babylonian People and the Spirit of Babylon that has changed man-kinds attitude.), because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. (“Fornication.” Extramarital sex)(Sex here means a departure from the Truth of the Bible to in-joining of false doctrine and a criminal conversion from The Truth of scripture to follow after all manner of cult activities.) (that willfully and maliciously inter-fears with marriage relations. Criminal conversion.)(People that try to worship God on one hand and embrace false doctrine on the other.) 2. Rev 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils (Devils in this instance means, People of Hatred, confusion, Cruel and inhuman people, haters of God and haters of man, demonic), and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. (The word ”Bird” in Rev. 18:2 means, A cry or noise to display contempt or displeasure, an out cry of hate and prejudice.) If you've noticed in Rev.14:8 and 18:2, the phrase, “is fallen, is fallen” is repeated. Why? In Hebrew when a subject or word is mentioned twice, it signifies that the event mentioned will occur twice. Babylon the City was destroyed, The spirit of Babylon will also be destroyed. This is what is starting to occur today. The Nations of the world have become what God has already destroyed once, Babylon. Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers (Many) places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights (tsunamis) and great signs shall there be from heaven. ( Meteorites, Meteors, Comets.) Rev 11:13. And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell (Jerusalem ), and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand:(a tenth part of the city's population)(This signifies a population at the time of this earthquake at 700,000 people) (The population of Jerusalem, as censored at the end of 2003, was 693,200 people.) and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.(References; Isa 22:5 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord God of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains. Zec 14:3-7; Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.) Rev 16:18-19 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city (Jerusalem) was divided into three parts,(EU Wants Israel to Divide Jerusalem. 15:51 Nov 27, '05 / 25 Cheshvan 5766 By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu)(For the past three years we have been reporting that the time is coming when the world will force Israel into dividing Jerusalem with the PA. Well that time is here. Watch over the coming years for a "political move " to use the estab-lishment of the next Jewish temple as a bargaining chip for Israel to divide its capital. The division of Jerusalem would fit into Bible Prophecy. We must keep in mind that the Lord declared that once the Jews took possession of Israel again (1947) it would never again go back into gentile hands. Hence, half of Jerusalem does not constitute a full surrender of it. I believe this issue could be the spring board that Satan will use to bring forth his false Messiah, the Anti-christ. God's plan for the end of the ages and the beginning of Messiah's reign is moving forward with pin-point accuracy!) and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. ars. end pt. 2.

Bible Prophecy, Refusing Gods Word.pt.1.

Bible Prophecy, Refusing Gods Word.pt.1.I have written many a message on Prophecy, but this subject stands-out because of recent events in the world today. Prophecy many times in scripture starts out with the words,”In the End Days", or "in the latter times ” We must watch out for these words, to fully understand the prophetic meaning of the end times, that we are living in today. This is one of many subjects we will be writing about, until the Lord comes and takes us Home. Now the subject; Celibacy, Virginity and the Church.Many today “commend” and “enjoin” celibacy and virginity. The Churches of some, are in fact, propagating and introducing sin into their congregation, not of the congregation itself but of their ministers. Allowing these atrocity's to flourish. Here is the great lie, quote;” Conservatives say that it may help reverse the “gay culture” that has grown in many US. seminaries. Liberal critics have complained that the restrictions will create morale problems among existing priests and lead to an even greater priest shortage in the United States” un-quote. Is there a cancer growing in the Catholic Church? Are ordaining sinners, to be priest, allowed by God or by man?. God created male and female. Both to assist the other in their walk thru this life. A help-mate to bring about peace and tranquility. They would regard such a state, for certain persons, as more holy than the married condition, and would consider it as “so” holy that they would absolutely prohibit those who wished to be most holy from entering into the relation. God stated that it was not good for a man to be alone. Genesis 2:18 And the Lord God said,“It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."(References, Pro.18:22; Ecc.4:9-12; 1Co.7:36.) The virgin Mary was married. Matthew 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. Peter was married. Matthew 8:14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.Jesus ordained marriage. Matthew 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? This false doctrine, that is taught, comes from these passages that are misinterpreted in Matthew; 19:10-12. His disciples say unto him, “If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry”. But he said unto them, “All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. ( A Eunuch is a man who has been castrated and cannot sexually reproduce.) For the Catholic Church to fall in line with Gods word about celibacy and virginity, they must become a eunuch, according to The Bible, their faith in God and of the flesh, and that they were called to be a eunuch. The words, celibacy and virginity, are not used in the scripture, to prevent a minister from being married. This idea came from man and from Biblical Prophecy. Man is fulfilling prophecy by his lack of understanding of Scripture and the intent of God for man. Proverbs 8:33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. The greatest propagater of this fallacy is the Catholic Church. They have misinterpreted scripture for centuries. They have prevented their priest from marriage and there-by caused many to turn to a homo-sexual life-style, which is sin. Today the Vatican presented a statement concerning Homo-sexuality and the Church. I applaud their decision to ban all non-hetaro-sexual-s from the Church Ministry but the statement didn't go far enough. (Quote; Rev. Timothy Radcliff, former superior of the Dominican order, wrote in the British Catholic weekly the Tablet that the phrase could be interpreted as concerning men with a “permanent homosexual orientation.”“But this cannot be correct since, as I have said, there are many excellent priests who are gay and who clearly have a vocation from God.”“Having worked with bishops and priests, diocesan and religious, all over the world, I have no doubt that God does call homosexuals to the priest-hood, and they are among the most dedicated and impressive priests I have met,” he wrote. un-quote) (Quote; Document says men with ‘transitory’ gay tendencies can still be ordained. The Vatican on Tuesday published its long-awaited document on gays in the priest-hood, saying that men with “deep-seated” gay tendencies shouldn’t be ordained but that those with “transitory” tendencies could be if they had overcome them for three years. The Bible tells us that Homo-sexuality is an abomination to God and there-by is classified as, unrighteousness, un-Godly and a sin. To allow 1 sin is to allow all sin, there is no justification for allowing any sin into the ministry. These are the blind leading the blind. Paul stated of false ministers and doctrine; Romans 2:21-23“Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? (There are those that teach that are not called or are blinded by there ambition. Not entering into the kingdom and preventing those that would.) thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? (Do ministers today steal from their congregations, asking for more, than is allowed and demanded from God, to supply meat for the Church? Are they stealing from their congregation by not telling the whole truth, not teaching them how to receive from God, not only materially but more importantly, Spiritually? )( The spiritual part of man is more important than the material possessions that man attains. Many are blessed by God materially, but they think more of the gift than the one who supplied the gift. Making it a sin.) Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? ( Are they forgetting the commission that they received from God, to teach commandment of men? Are they teaching and making laws that are contrary to scripture? Are they committing adultery by falling away from the truth, to worship a man instead of worshiping God? Does the Bible state that there would be only one man to lead the Church? No.) thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? (Allowing many to co-mitt Blasphemous behavior, and depriving things of its sacred favor. Desecrateing the Church with those that say there are of God and do lie? Making a deity out of a man?)Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?”(Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves;) 1Ti 4:1-3; Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; ( Teaching, “Thou shall Not:”, and doing what they would not allow.) having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Fulfilling prophecy by; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, Calling a man Father. Gambling, Drinking and Refusing the Truth of the Bible, being subject to seducing spirits and false doctrine) , which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. In scripture God never condemned marriage nor did He state any-where that a minister could never marry. (Take the disciples for example.) How can the Vatican say that, all Priest must take a vow of Celibacy and Virginity, when it is in direct contrast to the will of God, for man, to marry? The parable of the wheat and tares applys to the church today. Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. 2Ti 2:20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour (Honoring God by accepting the Truth), and some to dishonour.(Dishonoring God by accepting False Doctrine.) (Here we see what we may comfort ourselves with, in reference to this, and the errors, atrocity's and heresies that both infect and in-fest the church, and do mischief. The infection of the Church has grown, here in these latter days, to Biblical proportations, and is starting to fulfill prophecy, of the great falling away, from the truth.) Reference; 2Th 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 must look at the scriptures one at a time spiritually decerning each and comparing scripture with scripture. I judge nor condemn no one, the condemnation comes upon themselves from the word of Jehovah. All I am doing is spreading the truth so that others may judge for themselves, what is right and what is wrong. Its not just the Catholic Church in error but other doctrines and man made religions that are also refusing the Truth.(Cults)What is Biblical and what is false doctrine, what is true and what is a lie. Paul was the only Disciple that was never married. Lets look at what Paul stated about marriage. 1Co 7:1-2. Now concerning the things where-of ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, (All the Same, Even so, Despite any-thing to the contrary, How-ever.) to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. (God gives directions about marriage, and the remedy for fornication, that He has appointed for it.) The celibacy of a Minister of God, Must come from the freedom of Choice and not a commandment or direction from man. For a man to agree to not marry, (is a matter between him and God.) to become a minister of God is good in itself if its his own choice, but for a man to agree not to marry because of a stipulation or a rule from man, which would prevent Him from marriage contrary to His own will, for being ordained, is wrong. Its not scripturally sound and is a product of the Spirit of Error. Isaha 1:18 “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”Isa 1:20 “But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it."“Come now, and let us reason together.” Great words from the Father. Reasoning about spiritual and physical matters in this life is essential to the growth of the individual and the Church. Many Churches today are falling away from the truth because of past practices and laws handed down from past generations, that were not truly informed about the truth in Scripture. This is the reason that God gave us the Holy Ghost, to leads us and guide us into all truths. If we fail to read the Bible, for understanding and knowledge, we are susceptible to all manner of false doctrine. We will be caught up in someone else's lies. end pt.1 ars.

Death to Israel,Death to America !

'Death to Israel, death to America'Many Anti-Christian Nations are calling for the Death of Israel and America because of Jesus The Christ. We are the only true friends of Israel in the world, even tho, in the end days America will turn against Israel for Her own self preservation from the Muslim Nations, that now surround Israel. Why? Because they also know Bible prophecy and will try to change the course of History. Today the United States is in a twicks between helping Israel and appeasing the Muslim World. This will be the down fall of America, when they turn to make peace with Gog and turn away from Israel. Tens of thousands of Iranians staged anti-Israel protests across the country on Friday, repeating calls by their ultraconservative president for the Jewish state’s destruction.China, Russia, Algeria, Syria, India, Pakistan, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan, Afghanistan and Iran join together to help Syria. I will try to explane the reason that Israel and these other Nations are so important to all of us and why we must all support and pray for Israel. Matthew 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Jesus loved the Israelites, for they were His people, not necessarily from the flesh but from the spirit. Gog & Magog are gathering together to steal from Israel. Hatred around the Muslim Nations is growing like a plague. We must understand the nature of the Battles that will come about over Israel and Her people. There will be three battles over the Land of David. The First will be Gog and Magog, the Second is Armageddon and the Last will be after the 1000 Year reign of Christ in Jerusalem. The First Battle; There are many, many Christians today that take the Battles of The prophecy as only spiritually meaning and not in the physical. These wars are physical, be not deceived by others opinion for they have no Biblical proof of what they are saying. These wars will take place. The Battle of Gog and Magog will be for riches, China, Russia and India are in great financial need, they are almost at the point of becoming bankrupt. Eze 38:11-19; And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. Sheba,(She is called by our Lord the “queen of the south” (Mat_12:42). Southern Arabia.), and Dedan,(The fact that Sheba and Dedan are represented as Cushite (Gen_10:7) would point to a migration of part of these tribes to Ethiopia, and similarly their derivation from Abraham (Gen_25:3) would indicate that some families were located in Syria.), and the merchants of Tarshish (Tartessus, a city and emporium of the Phoenicians in the south of Spain), with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days(The end of Times,Future tense), and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them? And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; A great Earth Quake, some may say that volcanic activity will also be involved. But a super-natural Earth Quake defiantly. These men will also start to fight and kill among them selves till there are none left. Eze 38:20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. These army's will be destroyed by God and Israel will not have to fight.Eze 38:21-22 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother. (They will kill each other)And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.(Volcano or asteroid shower) Ezekiel 39:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.(They will be burried where they fall)The Second Battle; Armageddon. Luke 19:43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, Revelation 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. "Meshech "They were in all probability the Moschi, a people inhabiting the Moschian Mountains, between the Black and the Caspian Seas. In Ps. 120:5 the name occurs as simply a synonym for foreigners or barbarians. "During the ascendency of the Babylonians and Persians in Western Asia, the Moschi were subdued; but it seems probable that a large number of them crossed the Caucasus range and spread over the northern steppes, mingling with the Scythians. There they became known as Muscovs, and gave that name to the Russian nation and its ancient capital by which they are still generally known throughout the East" "Tubal"(1.) The fifth son of Japheth (Gen. 10:2).(2.) A nation, probably descended from the son of Japheth. It is mentioned by Isaiah (66:19), along with Javan, and by Ezekiel (27:13), along with Meshech, among the traders with Tyre, also among the confederates of Gog (Ezek. 38:2, 3; 39:1), and with Meshech among the nations which were to be destroyed (32:26). This nation was probably the Tiberini of the Greek historian Herodotus, a people of the Asiatic highland west of the Upper Euphrates, the southern range of the Caucasus, on the east of the Black Sea."Magog; "The Latin father Jerome says that this word denotes "Scythian nations, fierce and innumerable, who live beyond the Caucasus and the Lake Maeotis, and near the Caspian Sea, and spread out even onward to India." Perhaps the name "represents the Assyrian Mat Gugi, or 'country of Gugu, ' the Gyges of the Greeks" Assyria;It was a mountainous region lying to the north of Babylonia, extending along the Tigris as far as to the high mountain range of Armenia, the Gordiaean or Carduchian mountains. It was founded in B.C. 1700 under Bel-kap-kapu, and became an independent and a conquering power, and shook off the yoke of its Babylonian masters. It subdued the whole of Northern Asia. What we must understand that The names, Gog & Magog , are used to describe multi-nations. Many say that the battle of Gog & Magog has already taken place according to scripture in the old Testament times, in a way they are correct, but there are proofs that these battles under this name are future also. Isa 41:22 Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come. Eze 38:16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. The second instance of Gog and Magog; Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. The Last Battle of Gog and Magog. The Last Battle of Gog and Magog is after the Thousand year Reign of The Christ from Jerusalem. Rev 20:7-10 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. So as you can see the words, Gog and Magog, are used to describe multiple battles. If you have any questions please let me know. arsTemple of Spirit & Truth MinistriesA.R.Smith Sermons Internationalhttp://www.ourchurch.com/member/a/arsmithsermons

Finding The Living Among The Dead.

Finding The Living Among The Dead.

Luke 9:59-9:60 Finding The Living Among The Dead. God is the God of the Living and not the God of the Dead. Speaking of Christ return and reign on this earth is sometimes difficult to get thru to people. Many want to denigh that the end is close, many want to denigh that God will destroy what He has created and many still yet want to denigh God all together. City after city from the east to west from north to south has had some kind of destruction based on the revelations of Jesus Christ. For He said when you see these things come to pass know that the end is near, even at the door. Luke 9:59-60; And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. As the morality of mankind becomes farther from the Word of God, its hard to find the living among the dead, spiritually speaking. Are there times that we must walk away from people or even city’s that refuse to hear the truth of the Scriptures? Yes. Jesus gave us examples of everything that we, as ambasitors, would encounter. “Let the dead bury their dead:” Even as New Orleans was reeling from death and destruction, many yet in that city were trying to open up their bars and clubs, homosexuals were dancing in the streets hafe naked and stating that,”Life goes on” Sodom and Gomorrha will rise up to testify against such people. The govermential system has become corrupt, legislators are willing to denigh Gods word and pass laws, legislating sin and debotchery and all manner of filth, we cant even trust what our government says any more. Here are some headlines that I thought were interesting. 1. As in Massachusetts, civil unions in Vermont were granted through court rulings. 2. Assembly-man had called bans on gay marriage “the last frontier of bigotry and discrimination.” 3. "Yet, the truth is that nudity in the home, when handled in a respectful, matter-of-fact way, is perfectly natural and certainly not harmful." In fact, research suggests that children who have seen their parents nude do not grow up to be emotionally scarred, but instead are more likely to be accepting of their own bodies and comfortable with their own sexuality. 4. Officials braced Thursday for what could be a staggering death toll by readying 25,000 body bags. 5. U.N. corruption cited in Iraq Oil for Food Program. . 6. Burma Military Closes Down Evangelical Church, Group Says 7. Eritrea Police Raid Christian Wedding Party Detaining Couple and Guests 8. Uzbekistan Destroys Christian Leaflets for Children. 9. Christian Activists Killed In Philippines 10. Palestinians poison girl for dating Christian, then burn out his relatives 11. Indonesia Christian Women Receive Jail Sentence For Converting Muslim Children. Luke 10:11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. The Kingdom of God is closer each day to becoming a reality. Man-kinds in-humanity to man will be judged, mans rejection of the truth will be judged, mans whoredoms will be judged. Mar 6:11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. [Mat_12:36; Rom_2:5, Rom_2:16; 2Pe_2:9, 2Pe_3:7; 1Jo_4:17] We must learn how to find the Living Among The Dead. We grieve over the loss of loved ones but this is not what we are speaking of. We must remember that we cant turn back the pages of time and change what has happened in the past. We are looking at today and tomorrow, if Jesus hasn’t returned. Finding the living{Those that are willing to hear the truth} from among those that are dead{those that refuse to hear the truth.} And what is the truth? The truth is that this world will not last much longer. The mortality of man is getting shorter and shorter. Many are dieing today of heart attacks, as the scripture predicted. Rom 1:28-32; And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;[(Barnes)Rom 1:28 - And even as they did not like ... - This was the true source of their crimes. They did not choose to acknowledge God. It was not because they could not, but because they were displeased with God, and chose to forsake him, and follow their own passions and lusts. To retain God ... - To think of him, or to serve and adore him. This was the first step in their sin. It was not that God compelled them; or that he did not give them knowledge; nor even is it said that he arbitrarily abandoned them as the first step; but they forsook him, and as a consequence he gave them up to a reprobate mind. To a reprobate mind - A mind destitute of judgment. In the Greek the same word is used here, which, in another form, occurs in the previous part of the verse, and which is translated “like.” The apostle meant doubtless to retain a reference to that in this place. “As they did not approve, edokimasan, or choose to retain God, etc. he gave them up to a mind disapproved, rejected, reprobate,” adokimon, and he means that the state of their minds was such that God could not approve it. It does not mean that they were reprobate by any arbitrary decree; but that as a consequence of their headstrong passions, their determination to forget him, he left them to a state of mind which was evil, and which he could not approve. Which are not convenient - Which are not fit or proper; which are disgraceful and shameful.] Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. The dead that we speak of are those that use the scripture for their own lust and gain, those that use tragedy to gain unlawfully and those that are without understanding of human needs and desires to build a better life for themselves and their familys thru Jesus Christ. Many are seeking the truth, many are seeking their way in this world of dispare and destruction. All mankind has a knowledge of God, there is no excuse, but the dead are deigning their knowledge, not retaining what they know is right and have turned themselves into the walking dead of spirit and do the best they can to turn others away from the knowledge that they’ve rejected, of these people we can do nothing. So we seek the living among the dead. Seeking those that are searching for truth, searching for answers. Many are falling away because of difficulties in their Christian walk, but Jesus never stated that it would be an easy life. Many of the good things in life are difficult to obtain and to hold on to. The same way with being a Christian. We are hated and despised by many, especially in these last day. Christians are being tormented and beaten for their belief in Christ. Persecution and hatred are abounding around the world over Christianity. Jesus said unto him, “Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.” You have a testimony to deliver, deliver it, you have a ministry to perform, perform it, you have a life to live for Christ, live it. Don’t worry about what people think, don’t worry about what people do, don’t worry about your physical life, go and preach the Gospel. So ; Let the dead bury their dead, go and Find The Living Among The Dead. ars

The Evening and the Morning



Genesis 1:1-1:31 The Evening and the Morning A descussion on the evening and morning of you life. Genesis 1:-2:2 We know the story of creation from Genesis, the truth about all liveing things upon the earth, we know that the story or myth of evolution is a deception from satan. But did you really look at the days of creation? The scripture says, the evening and morning were the 1st day, and the evening and morning were the second day and it goes on the same with 3,4,5,6 but not the 7th day for that represents the eternal rest of God. There was not an evening or morning mentioned in the 7th day. So when did God do His work. If you notice its in the evening and He finished in the morning ,dont understand, when did God visit Adam in the Garden, it wasnt in the morning of days but in the evening of days when it was cool. If we follow God and the way that He worked, then we would do our labour in the cool of the evening. A lot of people that I councel say that their life is near the end because of their age and they cant do anything for God. This is the evening of day, but I remind them of all the works that God did in the evening, and Sara being beyond child bearing age became pregnant. We can do a lot in the evening of our days its not the time to stop but a new begining of works based on faith. Some people start a new career at a later time in their life, marry late in life, have families late in life, so why not try working for Jesus late in your life. We have all been called to do a work for God, all we hafe to do is find out what it is and persue it. In the evenings is my time with God, when the lights are low and the sounds of the days hustle and bustle are gone into history. When the birds no longer sing and the animals of the field are quiet and asleep. Some time when you go visit a loved one, who has gone to be with Jesus, walk around a little bit and look at the other tomb stones. Notice the dates upon them and ask yourself, what did this person do with his or her dash. You know, the dash that is always put in between the day of birth and the day that they died. I looked at one that had ,.... Born sept. 15.1800-Died Aug 22.1885. Look at the dash, what did this person accomplish in his life for Jesus and his family. Did he start his work for God in the morning of his days or was it in the evening of his life? What are you going to do with your dash, when are you going to do your labour for the Master? We are promissed in scripture, three score and ten years of life, but this man above was blessed another 15 years. Look at Hezakiah, he was told that he was going to die but throu prayer and repentance with bitter tears, God gave him extra life. Not in his morning but in his evening of years.The Old Testiment can be broken down simply into three parts, 1. Generation, the begining of man and his dominion of the earth. 2. Degeneration, the fall of man and his destruction. 3. Regeneration, the regeneration of man and his covenent with God. Rebuilding a life after the flood. Look at these three, number 1 is the morning of life, number 2 is the dash and number 3 is the evening or the begining of the end of the earth as we know it. The prophecys of the comming messiah and the destruction of sin at the battle of armageddon. Its all in there. Can you find any where in scripture that says that the evening of you lives, has to be unuseful? No. Many began new families later in their lives. Even Moses worsheped God untill the day that he died.Some even worshiped God leaning on a staff, age never stoped them. The evening of their lives were profitable. Look at Genesis cpt 5 an 6 ,Adam, Seth, Enos,Cainan, Jared, Enoch and Methusela, all in the evening of their lives and still profitable.Some times our mornings are filled with the excitement of finding out about ,life and the world, that we get caught up in the pride of life and never give our souls a thought, sometimes God starts us out in the prime of our lives and sometimes in the evening. Moses was one of thoses, not useing him in his prime, but God sent him out into the desert molded and shaped him untill he was an old man then God said, Its time Moses, now I can use you.Why at an old age? Because then he, and maby some of us, will hafe to depend intirelly on God . And the evening and the morning were the first day, is it yours today? Are you ready, after God puts you in the desert for 40 years to start your work in the evening, In the cool of the day? To walk with God and depend upon Him, to wake up and see a brighter day with the Lord, full of oppertunities to serve Him? Are you willing to take another look at the Bible and descover the things that youve been missing, the wonderfull mysteries that were once hidden and now become alive, and that same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead ,shall quicken your mortal bodys. Makeing your evening and morning brand new, each time you wake up. Its not time to retire, brothers and sisters, its time to make that journey to the new man and let Jesus strengthen you. Share your faith with the young. Dont judge others on their evening and morning and they wont judge you .Share your stories about Jesus, share yourselves with others.Give us this day our daily bread, our daily feeding of your presious word, O Lord. And let your Evening and Morning be brand new each day, for the Glory of God and for the piece of your souls. Dedicated to my mother, Mary Smith, of 78, who has taught the Bible for 18 years.

Homosexuality and Christianity

Homosexuality and Christianity

Romans 1:16-1:32
Homo-sexuality and Christianity. Can there be a compromise between the two, can a gay person become a christian and still retain a gay life stile? It seems that the last twenty years has been a difficult time for Christians and especially ministers. The social impact on ministries has been a large one. There have been many that have tried to get the church to under go a change in its approach to sin. Evangelist have a different style of preaching than the ministers or pastors of the church based ministry. The evangelist has been given by the spirit a unique approach to delivering the gospel. Its a type of hell fire and brimstone approach. The evangelist works well on the topics of the day and at times is ridiculed by not only the lost but sometimes by the church. Doesn’t the scriptures state that, we all minister, with the ability that has been given to us ?, Yes it does. There have been articles in the papers, lately, talking about christians in some churches, that want us to be more tolerant to the gay community's and accept them as christians in our churches. But my question, knowing the scripture, is this, "Where in scripture does Jesus say that a christian, can willfully sin and disregard the laws of God?’ It Doesn’t. This has become a unpopular topic with a lot of christians, it seems that no one wants to express their opinion on the subject. Where does Jesus say that ministers would be popular or even accepted in a sinful society? Jesus told the disciples, which, by the way were ministers and preachers also, when you go into a city and was not accepted, brush the dust off your feet as a testimony AGAINST them. The society today, thou, wants us to be, religious and sin tolerant, toward any one with opposing view points. I’m not pointing out any particular church or organization, I’m pointing out what Jesus told us, that would happen. " In the days of Noah.." Remember Soddam an Gamorriah? When Jesus spoke the truth, it was truth. After 30 years preparing to preach, Jesus preached only 3. Look what they did to Him, look what society did to our Saviour, look what the self proclaimed righteous people did to Him without sin. The religious intolerant and sin based society, crucified our Lord, for telling the truth about sin and repentance. We were all guilty of sin, our righteousness was as filthy rags, before God. Those of us that are saved, are saved by the grace of God, and those that are lost are lost because they haven’t repented of the sin they commit willfully. Was Jesus afraid to go to the cross? Look at the prayers at the garden for your answer, ponder what He said, and then answer this question. Are we afraid in telling the truth, are we afraid of retribution for standing up for righteousness, didn’t Jesus tell us that we would be hatted above all men for our belief in Him? What was the condition for our admittance into the Family of God, what was our promise to Jesus if He would forgive us of our sins, what did we vow to God, so that we could be called by His name? My promise to Him was to, turn away from sin. Pretty simple isn’t it. Is that too much to do, to inherit eternal joy, to inherit eternal life with Jesus? So then if it isn’t, why all the talk about being tolerant to sin, sin of any kind, the word says, that if you transgress against one law then your guilty of all the law. Most christians that I’ve talked to, don’t understand that, in Gods eyes a thief is just as guilty as a murderer. In Gods eyes a lier will go to hell the same as an adultress. The biggest thing I’ve noticed in the last couple of weeks is a deceiving spirit, getting into some christians, having then to believe that civil unions between gays, is al-right, the newspapers from coast to coast are printing articles from well meaning christians , calling for piece for all gay christians, even the schools from east to west are calling for faith based creation stories to be replaced by the theory of evolution, stating that the children are going to be confused if they are taught both. We all need to pray very hard, for God to intervene in our children’s behalf. Don’t allow this, spirit of deception , deceive you, call sin, what it is and reach out to the gay people and tell them the truth, if they continue in their way of life, they will never be able to inter into the kingdom of Heaven, but a devils hell awaits them. Everyones life style is their own choice but we as Ministers must give all mankind information to make a decision.
Lev 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

God condemned it we have to also. ars Scripture references Gen19;1-28, Romans 1;16-32.

Is God Prejudiced?


Is God Prejudiced?
The first thing I would like to do is give mans meaning of prejudiced. 1. Opinion formed beforehand: a performed opinion, usually an unfavorable one, based on insufficient knowledge, irrational feelings, or inaccurate stereotypes.
2. Holding of ill-informed opinions: the holding of performed opinions based on insufficient knowledge, irrational feelings, or inaccurate stereotypes.
3. Irrational dislike of somebody: an unfounded hatred, fear, or mistrust of a person or group, especially one of a particular religion, ethnicity, nationality, sexual preference, or social status.
When we speak of God, we speak of Pure Spirit and not flesh. The definitions of prejudice is only accountable to man and His disbelief in truth and righteousness. As we see in Jer 13:23, man is accustomed to doing evil and not good.
“Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.”
Lets take a look at some words from the definition.
1. Irrational dislike.
Gods answer. Mat 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
2. Ill-informed opinions.
Gods answer. Mat 23:33-35. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
3. Inaccurate stereotypes.
Gods answer. Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Mar 6:11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. 4. Unfounded hatred.
Gods answer. 2Pe 2:4-9. For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment:And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.
5. Insufficient knowledge.
Gods answer. Pro 2:2-6. So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
[Ref. Exo_31:3; 1Ki_3:9, 1Ki_3:12, 1Ki_4:29; 1Ch_22:12; Job_32:8; Isa_54:13; Dan_1:17; Dan_2:21, Dan_2:23; Luk_21:15; Joh_6:45; Eph_1:17, Eph_1:18; Jam_1:5, Jam_1:17 ]

Pro 14:18 The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
Pro 18:15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
Pro 21:11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

I have read many an article condemning Christians, especially preachers, for standing up for the word of God. Subjects as Homo-sexuality, Religion, Non- tolerance of Idol worship in their communities, and the such. They are always using the Bible as a source of self justification. They proclaim that God is all loving and, we should be like Him. But I'm afraid to say to these people, we are being as our Father in Heaven. We cannot justify, sin, unrighteousness nor ungodliness. We, as Christians, have been asked to accept teaching in our schools that are contrary to our belief in the Holy Scriptures. When many are calling for a separation of Church and State, then why are the forces of darkness allowed to teach anti-christian formats within our society. Changing children hearts from God to a form of self proclaimed religion. Corrupting society with false teaching. And all in the name of Unity.
Lets read a little Scripture.

Isa 1:4-5 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
Jer 9:2-5. Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men. And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD. Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders. And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Job 11:3 Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
This is the Word of God.“Making them an ensample.” Gal 5:19-21. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Rev 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Ask yourself this question. After you have read the words of God, do you believe that we are to try to justify these types of people or warn them? Its not a matter of prejudice against these types of people, its a matter of loving them enough to warn them and to resist them. Warning them of the impending judgment. Resisting them in their efforts to teach their way of life to our children. So, Is God Prejudiced? You Answer.
