How Close to the End Are We?

Well there's no way to be sure, but there are many signs all over the place that something big has to happen soon. Today our illustrious president continued the process of turning America into the Soviet Union by greatly expanding the Fed's powers to control the entire economy. Why's that important? It's a huge step toward the beast economic system where no man can buy or sell without the mark of the beast. The Vice president just returned from a trip to Saudi Arabia. The day after he left, the Saudis began preparations to shield themselves from radiation that could fallout from a nuclear attack on Iran. Coincidence? There are headlines all over indicating that famine is gripping more and more people (by the millions) in it's claws. Can you say four horsemen of the apocalypse?????

WW3 on the horizon, global apostacy, famine, death all in great abundance everywhere we look. Here's the real kicker, these things are just beginning to happen, they have'nt even come close to full maturity. The only notable exception would be the apostasy of the church which appears to be quite ripe. About the only thing missing here is the appearance of the Anti-christ which I have to believe is right around the corner.

Matt16:1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. 3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? 4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

We should not be like the hypocrites, we should see the signs of the times and correctly interpret them. Time is SHORT. The rapture may happen today, or next year, who knows, but there's no guarantee any of us will make it through today. Be ready, repent, there's no time left to mess around. Spiritual blindness is a real thing, many people don't see it coming despite overwhelming evidence all around us. Things are going down exactly the way the bible predicted they would. Look up, your redemption draws near......Grace and Peace

This is a BIG Deal Concerning Your Rewards

I was thinking yesterday about what we do for the Lord, what He wants us to do etc, and the Lord just floored me with this. Putting these two pieces of the puzzle together is huge. Read this first:

1Cr 3:11For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

1Cr 3:12
Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

1Cr 3:13
Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

1Cr 3:14
If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

1Cr 3:15
If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Only our works that survive the fire, are eligible for reward. So obviously we want what we do to "count" for the kingdom of God and "abide." Ok, great, so how do we do that? Here ya go:


Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

That's one heck of a statement if you think about it....WHATEVER YOU DO....EVERYTHING.......ALL.....do it in the name of Jesus giving thanks to God the Father through him. Taking out the trash? Do it in the name of Jesus, going to work this morning to earn your daily bread? Do it in the name of Jesus. Start building your heavenly reward account by DOING EVERYTHING in the name of Jesus. Only what's done for Him counts in the end. HIS kingdom come, HIS will be done, remember?

Basically the Lord is saying, you don't work for some company, some agency, yourself, whatever, you WORK FOR HIM, start acknowledging that fact, and work accordingly

Col 3:23
And whatsoever ye do, do [it] heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

Col 3:24
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

When you continually think about the fact that you work for the Lord, regardless of what you do, it will change the way you look at everything, think about it, do it, your rewards depend on it. Grace and Peace

In the Most of Them God Was Not Well Pleased

1Cor10:1 And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, 2 and all to Moses were baptized in the cloud, and in the sea; 3 and all the same spiritual food did eat, 4 and all the same spiritual drink did drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ; 5 but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,
6 and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these did desire.

It's this kind of stuff in the bible that should slap us awake. God was not pleased with most of the israelites and they were types OF US. When I read things like this in the bible it becomes very clear to me what the FEAR OF GOD is...He's no respecter of persons.

Like Paul said..1 Cor 9:24 have ye not known that those running in a race -- all indeed run, but one doth receive the prize? so run ye, that ye may obtain; 25 and every one who is striving, is in all things temperate; these, indeed, then, that a corruptible crown they may receive, but we an incorruptible; 26 I, therefore, thus run, not as uncertainly, thus I fight, as not beating air; 27 but I chastise my body, and bring it into servitude, lest by any means, having preached to others -- I myself may become disapproved.

That one statement above is enough to torpedo the entire "once saved always saved" heresy that wolves in sheeps clothing like to preach. My point here is even Paul was constantly taking a good hard look at himself all the time. We are not "saved" until we check out of this world, until then it's all about this :Phil 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Time is short and this is such serious business we are talking about here. What's more important than the salvation of your soul? Grace and Peace

O Generation of Vipers

Matt3:O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: 9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Once again, it's not the heathen who get the rebuke, it's the "so called" people of God, the religious people. The Holy Spirit cuts them right off at the feet when He says 9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father. What you call yourself or think to yourself does'nt really matter if it's in conflict with what Jesus thinks of you. You call yourself a "christian." Great, so what? You're a "good person?" Great, so what? You "go to church," hmm slight problem there, if you have to "GO" to church, that means YOU ARE NOT the church, and if you ARE NOT the church that means you are not Christ's body, which means you are not "in Christ" which means you're lost. So you "go to church" , you're a "good person" and you and your social club call themselves "christians." That and three dollars (inflation:-) might get you a cup of coffee somewhere. We need to take HARD SOBER LOOKS AT OURSELVES. This world is living on borrowed time, and none of us has any guarantee that we'll make it through today. WAKE UP, PRAY, strengthen what you have within you, stay motivated, time is short. Grace and Peace

What Not to Do, Lessons From Revelation

Jesus gave an evaluation of the churches in Rev 2-3, we would do well to heed the things He was displeased with...

4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

Don't leave your first love...

14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate. 16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

Get out of churchianity, the doctrine of the Nicolaitans is practiced by every church I've ever seen today, Balaams error was to teach children of God to do things that displeased the Father, invoking His wrath.

I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. 24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

Again, fornication, idolatry, getting to know the depths of Satan-don't do it

1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. 3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

Another example of churchianity, a reputation of being alive but really they are dead and dying, remember the right way, hold fast and REPENT...

15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

the lesson here is BE ZEALOUS AND REPENT. restoke the fire inside....GET MOTIVATED, TIME IS SHORT.

Where Are the Real Christians?

You know, the fact that anyone has to ask that question is a HUGE indictment on today's babylonian churchianity. There are churches on every corner of every street, what do you mean "where are the real christians?" It means, THEY ARE SCARCE. Gunman Matthew Murray penned a letter addressed to God http://christianitynotchurchianity.blogspot.com/2008/03/this-is-what-so-called-christianity.html
in which he asked that question. Obviously he'd been looking, and could'nt find any. He's not the only person not able to find "real christians" these days, look around the web at all the atheist websites springing up, FULL of "former christians" who finally decided that what they were participating in was bunk. This is prima facie evidence that the Word of the Lord is true. When he says:

Matt 7:13Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

He meant it. Yea, I know I hammer home some of these scriptures over and over again, but what would men rather do, be faced with it here and now, or have it in their faces on judgement day....when it's too late?

Once you really understand this idea that FEW will make it into heaven, LOTS of things start to make sense. Like, why there are churches on every corner and peace is nowhere to be found. Like, people entering the doors of churchianity as a last stop in desperation, then buying a weapon and opening fire in disgust at what they found. Like no power, no peace, no grace, no joy, no patience to be found in men today ESPECIALLY within churchianity. Yea, everybody's pretty nice while they are wearing their masks on Wed/Sun but once they are in real life, the wolves are back out, that sound like real christianity to you?

So real christians are hard to find because THERE ARE FEW OF THEM.

Of those few we have to consider how they operate, walking as Jesus did, and how did Jesus walk?


Matthew 8 >>King James Bible

1 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

Whoa.....TELL NO MAN? I can hear churchianity now "Wait a minute, do you know much I could increase "church membership and my bottom line if I marketed this?"

We see Jesus performing a miracle then telling the man to keep it on the "down low" What does this tell us? Jesus does'nt need Rick Warren's church growth plan, a marketing department, a catchy logo or anything else the business world has to offer to grow His church....

We also see how this good work was done under the radar, in a low profile kinda way. That's the absolute antithesis of everything churchianity represents. So where are real christians? They are out doing secret/low profile good works, walking like Jesus did. Hard to find? Yea.

Matthew 6
1"Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

Finding "real christians" isn't easy. I suppose the Lord knew this, why else would He wonder "Luke8:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"

It's not easy to find real christians, many people can't handle this fact. Most people like to herd, like cattle. If they don't have a herd to run with, they are'nt going to participate. The thought of standing alone for Jesus is incomprehensible to these people. I can tell you, speaking the truth WILL lose you "friends". People will avoid you, people will hate you, ESPECIALLY the religious people. Nothing's changed, times change but people don't, behold:

Isaiah 30:9-11
9 For they are a rebellious people,lying children,children unwilling to hearthe instruction of the Lord;10 who say to the seers, “Do not see,”and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us what is right;speak to us smooth things,prophesy illusions,11 leave the way, turn aside from the path,let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.”

Real christians are out there, working on the "down-low" doing things to please the Father. Trying to walk as Jesus did. It's not an easy path, it's definitely not a path to popularity. It's the path of a soldier. Which is why Jesus said:

Luke 14:25-35
Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them,
"If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.
"And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.
"For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it--
"lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him,
"saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.'
"Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
"Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace.
"So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.
"Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned?
"It is neither fit for the land nor for the dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"

Jesus is coming soon, be watching, be ready

So Called Churches

Church Steeples

<-----Artist rendition of tower of babel

See any similarities? I sure do.......so the perversion of so called churchianity is so pervasive, so sick it's mind boggling. Let's forget for a minute that today's apostate churchianity meets in their own towers of babel every wed/"SUN"day (sun worship anyone?) And let's ponder this sick (but subtle idea) of "going to church"

HOW CAN I "GO TO CHURCH?"

How can I “go to church” or "attend" church?- The Bible says that the body of Christ is the church, and we are that body. In other words, we cannot "go to church" because we believers who are in Christ, we ARE the church. The church is not a building, nor is it a geographical location to be "attended". Wherever true believers are together, whether at a lunch table, or a movie theater, there the church is. Think about it, if I say that I "go" to church on Sunday, then that means I am "away" from the church for the rest of the week. This sinister idea has been perpetuated for generations now. We are the church, we don't "go" there. When we are with other true believers, the church is assembled. When we are alone, the church is dispersed, but we are the church whether we are alone or assembled. This is why the bible says do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together. This is a fundamental problem, and it is not trivial. There are many subtle, nefarious implications in the statement “I go to church”. To say this implies that a person is either “at church” or “away from church” both statements are incorrect, the bible says WE ARE THE CHURCH. This statement and similar statements like “which church do you attend?” are an invisible iron shackle to make people feel that they are not part of the church unless they are “in attendance” -this is serious error. If churchianity can get people to believe that they are either "at" church, or "away" from church, then they can get the herded masses of human cattle to come back weekly to be "serviced" at the 9am, or 11 am , or noon etc sunday "service". If we are in Christ 24/7, then we are in his body 24/7 and we are therefore the church ALL THE TIME-24 hours a day/7 days a week. An idolatrous mind has perpetuated this subtle lie to shackle mankind to institutions where their pocketbooks can be fleeced with a “tithe”, their minds can be poisoned with a false gospel while they are led to false christs by a religious system that causes idol worship of men, buildings, and religious systems. This is the work of the enemy.

1Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess. 2He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God's house. 3Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. 4For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. 5Moses was faithful as a servant in all God's house, testifying to what would be said in the future. 6But Christ is faithful as a son over God's house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast. How can I "go to myself?"

The serpent is subtle, so are his servants (the wolves) within the great whore. The men who advance the doctrines of devils, these nicolaitan idolaters will pay DEARLY for the sheep they've led to the slaughter. Let me quote the Master:

2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

THEY WILL MAKE "MERCHANDISE" OF YOU....you are nothing more than a way of generating income for these wolves.....

2 Peter 2:17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Does it matter that your nicolaitan preachers appear to "mean well" or appear "well intentioned" if they perpetuate a lie and deliver a men's souls to perdition?

Let me ask you this, is there any difference between a man who slips a lethal dose of poison into your meal and kills you instantly or a man who poisons you a little every day and kills you over an extended period? THEY ARE BOTH MURDERERS. Why does Jesus absolutely HATE what the Nicolaitans do?

EVERYTHING about apostate churchianity is corrupt, EVERYTHING from the ground up is absolutely ROTTEN. Don't take my word for it, read the testimonies of those who are leaving it EVERY DAY in utter disgust. Read the testimonies of those who felt so alone, and unloved who show up with a rifle and start gunning people down. Return to your creator, pick up a bible that you can understand and start reading it, REPENT, purify your minds. Trying to stay clean in a mudpuddle is an impossible task, trying to remain a chaste bride while in a whorehouse (apostate churchianity) is an impossible task, COME OUT OF HER.....

The Synagogue of Satan

Today's apostate christianity loves to fawn all over Israel and anything "jewish." This is not surprising, birds of a feather like to flock together the saying goes. In the same way that most of today's so called christianity is christian in name only, so are today's jews......jews in name only. God is no respecter of persons, let's see how much favor He has for today's satanic jewry:

Rev 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation

THEY SAY THEY ARE JEWS, BUT DO LIE

Let's look at some of the things today's apostate churchianity and the synagogue of Satan have been up to. Consider the events of 9/11. Let's pretend we are criminal investigators, what's the first thing a good detective looks for when investigating a crime? MOTIVE

Let's put on our thinking caps for a moment, what motive would arabs have for attacking us on 9/11, do you think they like us killing their families throughout the middle east for 4 years+ now? Now let's think Israel, how has 9/11 worked out for them? Well, they went from fighting arabs on their own to Americans spillinng OUR blood to kill Israel's enemies. From what I hear out of apostate churchianity, the more blood we spill over there THE BETTER. Understand me here, I'm not talking politics or geopolitics here, I'm talking about exposing LIES and DARKNESS. Since when are christians supposed to support and call for war? Today's babylonian apostianity can't get enough of it! What does that tell us? For one, they must worship a different Jesus. How do I know that? Pretty easy, I compare what I read in my bible and compare it to what the prostitute says and does. What does the bible say about these things?

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God" (Matthew 5:9)

Psalms 11:5The soul of the Lord hates...those who love violence (i can hear the prostitute now... "we don't love violence" yea right, that's why they call for violence 24/7....we know a tree by it's fruit.

I've heard the apostates argue that there were alot of wars in the old testament, alot of killing. True enough. There were ALOT of things that Israelites did under the Old Covenant that we are not called to do in the New Covenant. Do these blood lusting prostitutes offer God animal sacrifices at a temple to atone for their sins? No? WHY NOT? I'll tell you why, it's buffet style churchianity, they INSIST that you "tithe" and support the spilling of blood, but they don't ask you to perform any of the other requirements of the old covenant, HOW CONVENIENT....

My point here is this: todays so called jews are jews in name only, just like the vast majority of today's so called christianity are christians in name only. They practice and preach what makes them feel good, not the full counsel of God.

Matt7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Matt7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 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.

Romans 2:29, “…he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter

This world is full of violence and wickedness, yet America is a "christian" nation? Must be a different "christ" those christians worship then.....America and Israel have two of the most powerful armies in the world, WHERE'S THE PEACE? The god of America and Israel today is a god of WAR, not peace, don't take my word for it, use your eyes. You can't show me in the New Testament, in the words of Christ where we are EVER instructed to call for or desire war... IT'S NOT IN THERE. The synagogue of satan and so called christianity, a perfect match. In fact you could well argue they are the same thing....wolves defending wolves. Do today's so called jews and so called christians more resemble sheep or WOLVES. Think about it...

WSVN -- Dr. Chauncey Crandall isn't your usual doctor. The world-renowned cardiologist is a man of medicine and science, but he's also a man of faith. Dr. Chauncey Crandall: "If you come in with a problem into our service, we are definitely going to treat you with conventional medicine, but we are going to believe it too. We are going to attack it with conventional medicine, and we are going to attack it with prayer." He calls himself the Christian physician because he prays with each heart patient he sees at his Palm Beach practice. The difference, he says, is dramatic.
Dr. Chauncey Crandall: "The reason I pray for people is because I found, early in my trained practice, that there were miracles, unexplained healings." But even his strong faith could not prepare him for what would happen the day Jeff Markin walked into the Palm Beach Gardens emergency room. Jeff Markin: "I drove to the Garden's Hospital, went in, took out my wallet and fell on the floor with a massive heart attack." For 40 minutes doctors and nurses in the ER tried to revive him. When they couldn't get his heart started again they called for Dr. Crandall, who was doing rounds in the hospital at the time. Dr. Chauncey Crandall: "As I entered the ER it was like a war zone. Here was this lifeless body on a stretcher." The doctor couldn't do anything and could only confirm what everyone already knew, Jeff was dead. He had gone almost an hour without a heartbeat, and his body was starting to decompose. Dr. Chauncey Crandall: "His face, his arms, his legs were pitch black with death. I said, 'Let's just call the code, let's end it because there's no life left.'" As Dr. Crandall turned to leave, he says he got another call this time, a call from God to pray. Dr. Chauncey Crandall: "A voice told me to turn around and pray for that man. I looked down at the body, and I said, 'Lord, what can I pray for this man? He's gone.' All of a sudden these words came out, 'Father, I cry out for this man's soul, if he does not know, you raise him from the dead.'" Despite protests from doctors and nurses who were preparing Jeff's body for the morgue, doctor Crandall insisted they shock him one more time.
Dr. Chauncey Crandall: "So that doctor came over with those paddles and blasted that man and, all of a sudden, instantly a perfect heartbeat came up on the monitor. The stomach started moving, the chest started moving. This man started breathing on his own, and I said, 'This man has been prayed for, he has been brought back from the dead by prayer in the name of Jesus.'"
Louis Aguirre: "So where was Jeff during all of this? He believes he left his body and crossed over to the after life." Jeff Markin: "I was actually standing in the back of the funeral home, and I came to realize that this was my funeral. But, in the middle of sitting alone in darkness, Jeff says a figure suddenly appeared to him. Jeff Markin: "There was a figure that identified himself as Bob, and he was going to make sure that everything was going to be OK. I'm figuring that was my guardian angel. At that time, a very peaceful feeling and very relaxed feeling came over me, and then he said he had to go and, the next thing I know, I woke up in my daughter's arms."
He woke up to a second chance, one that can't be explained by medicine or science. As Dr. Crandall puts it, the only answer is divine intervention. Dr. Chauncey Crandall: "You are speaking to a scientist, a cardiologist, someone who loves medicine. I've never, ever seen this. There are always people that do not believe these events, and I will just tell them that it did happen. It was a real story, a real life that was restored." Jeff wasn't exactly a believer before that day. He didn't regularly attend church or read the Bible, but this experience has made him believe there is a higher purpose for his life. Jeff Markin: "I feel like maybe I am supposed to be a messenger. I want to get the right message across that miracles do happen."
A miracle that brought him life after death. Jeff Markin: "I'm so happy I have a second chance."
Louis Aguirre: "Jeff says he is now attending church mainly because he wants to figure out why he was chosen for a second chance at life."

Here's Story 2

Zack Dunlap doesn’t remember much from the day he died, but he does remember hearing a doctor declare him brain-dead. And he remembers being incredibly ticked off.
“I’m glad I couldn’t get up and do what I wanted to do,” the strapping Oklahoman said in a soft drawl in an exclusive appearance on Monday on TODAY in New York.
And what would he have done, asked TODAY’s Natalie Morales, who has followed Dunlap’s miraculous recovery from a Nov. 17 ATV accident that left him with a catastrophic head injury.
“Probably would have been a broken window they went out,” the 21-year-old said with a hint of a smile. He’s been through months of rehab, and he’s getting better, but he still has issues with memory and emotional issues. “I feel pretty good, but this is hard,” he said of all the excitement of being in New York and on national television. He is getting better, he agreed, but said the process is frustrating. “I just ain’t got the patience,” he said quietly.
He was accompanied by his parents, Pam and Doug Dunlap, and his younger sister, Kacy, who are more than happy to wait while he recovers. “He’s been doing amazingly well,” Pam Dunlap said. “He does still have a lot of memory issues. It just takes a long time for the brain to heal after such a traumatic injury. It may take a year or more before he completely recovers. But that’s OK. It doesn’t matter how long it takes. We’re just thankful and blessed that we have him here.” ‘There was no activity’Doctors have no explanation for why Dunlap is alive. He had been riding his souped-up ATV with some friends on that fateful Saturday, less than a week before Thanksgiving. They had participated in a parade that morning, popping wheelies and impressing the crowd, and then they had gone out riding on their machines. He did not wear a helmet.
Dunlap fell behind his friends on a highway just outside of Davidson, Okla., not far from his home in the ranching town of Frederick and near the Texas border. He gunned his machine to catch up, doing another wheelie on the back wheels. When he dropped the front wheels back to the pavement, he saw that he was going to crash into a friend’s machine that had stopped a short way up the road. Dunlap tried to swerve, but flipped his machine and went flying, smashing headfirst and facedown on the asphalt. He remained there motionless, unresponsive to his friends, who quickly called 911. Taken first to a local hospital, he was airlifted 50 miles away to United Regional Healthcare System in Wichita Falls, Texas, where there was a trauma unit that might be able to treat the severe damage he had done to his brain. But 36 hours after the accident, doctors performed a PET scan of his brain and informed his parents, along with other family members who had gathered to keep vigil at the hospital, that there was no blood flowing to Zack’s brain; he was brain-dead. Doctors showed the scan to Zack’s parents, and, Doug Dunlap told Morales, “There was no activity at all. No blood flow at all.” ‘They said he was brain-dead’The devastated parents were faced with the horrible decision of either keeping their son hooked up to life-support equipment or pulling the plug and letting his body follow his brain into death. “We didn’t want him as a vegetable,” Doug Dunlap said. “We didn’t know what he was going to be like. They said he was brain-dead and there would be no life, so we were preparing ourselves.”Zack had declared on his driver’s license that he wanted to be an organ donor, so his parents gave permission for doctors to keep his body alive until the organs could be harvested.
“Zack has always been a giver. He always wanted to make sure everybody had things going their way,” Doug Dunlap continued. “He didn’t want to give up, and we didn’t want his organs to give up, either. And he didn’t, either.” The decision made, there remained only a wait of several hours while an organ-harvesting team flew in by helicopter. The family spent the time saying goodbye. During her time with him, Zack’s grandmother, Naomi, prayed. Her request was straightforward — “just a miracle,” she told Morales. “He was too young for God to take him.”
Some four hours after doctors declared Zack dead, a nurse began to remove tubes from Dunlap. His cousins, Dan and Christy Coffin, both of whom are nurses, were also in the room. Something about Zack’s appearance made them think that he wasn’t as dead as the doctors said. On a hunch, Dan pulled out his bone-handled pocket knife and ran the blade up the sole of one of Zack’s feet. ‘Our son is still alive!’The foot yanked away, but the other nurse said it was a reflex action. So Dan Coffin then dug a fingernail under one of Zack’s nails. Zack yanked his arm away and across his body, and that, the other nurse agreed, wasn’t a reflex action. It was a sign of life.
“We went from the lowest possible moment to, ‘Oh, my gosh, our son is still alive!’ ” said his mother. “That was the most miraculous feeling. We had gone from the lowest possible emotion that a parent could feel to the top of the mountains again. We were still very guarded, because we weren’t sure what his prognosis would be, but just to hear the words that he was back with us is something we’ll remember forever.” Doctors warned the family that Zack could have profound brain damage that would prevent his leading anything resembling an active life. But within five days he opened his eyes, and 48 days after the accident, he walked out of a rehab center and returned home, where the entire town gave him a hero’s welcome. He’s working to regain his memories and to control his emotions, and he’d like to go back to his job as a warehouse worker. He also wants to get his driver’s license back.
“I’ve been wanting to drive [from] about the day I was back from rehab,” he said.
At Morales’ request, Zack reached in the pocket of his jeans and pulled out the pocket knife his cousin had used to prove he was still alive. Dan Coffin had given it to him as a gift and a memento. “It makes me thankful that they didn’t give up,” Zack said, turning the knife over in his hand. “Don’t let the good die young.”

Some other things to notice here, nowhere in these articles do you see any mention of "pastors" or churchianity in any way. Simple, ordinary brothers and sisters offering prayers of faith and THE DEAD ARE RAISED.

Does the Lord have your attention yet? Time is short, be watching, be ready~Grace and Peace

The Lord is Right at the Door

How close are we to the Rapture? Judging by the events we are seeing in the world all around us, pretty close. Here's something to chew on this morning:

Rev13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

In order for no man to buy or sell without the mark, what's needed? Answer: A one world financial system. How to we get a one world financial system? Well, have you been watching the news? Due to the sub-prime financial meltdown, banks around the world are folding, or more importantly close to folding, which is important why? Recent headlines tell us things like Bear Stearns being taken over for pennies on the dollar by JPMorgan. What we are seeing is MASS CONSOLIDATION OF BANKS. This just goes to show that all of this was foreseen by the Lord thousands of years ago. The one world beast financial system is forming RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES! It's all so subtle isn't it? The Lord says He's coming like a thief, and those who are not "in Christ" will be caught unprepared. Be ready, be watching, time is short, Grace and Peace

Is It ok For Some People to Celebrate Easter/Christmas?

I think there is language in the Bible that allows some people to celebrate these holidays (as Pagan as they may be), here's why:

Romans 14
1Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters. 2One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. 3The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him. 4Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone. 8If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
9For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. 10You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat. 11It is written: " 'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.' "[a] 12So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
13Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother's way. 14As one who is in the Lord Jesus, I am fully convinced that no food[b] is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean. 15If your brother is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy your brother for whom Christ died. 16Do not allow what you consider good to be spoken of as evil. 17For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, 18because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.
19Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. 20Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. 21It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother to fall.
22So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the man who does not condemn himself by what he approves. 23But the man who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.

Looks to me like if a person celebrates a day "to the Lord" it's ok. On the other hand, if celebrating certain days can lead to a man's condemnation by subtely seducing his mind, it's not okay. We have to be fully convinced in our own minds, but that's not a license to do whatever we want, whenever we want. As with everything else, it requires the guidance of the Spirit and a strong relationship with Jesus. It's true, christmas and easter are completell filled with pagan symbolism, question is WHAT ISN'T? This entire world is under satan's control at the moment (he's the prince of this world). The only way to go completely untouched by paganism/satanism is to not be in the world at all. For some people, it's not okay to celebrate easter and christmas, for others it is okay, both are right if they are right with the Lord in their mind and heart. Men should keep these things between themselves and the Lord. At least that's the way Romans 14 reads to me. This may seem as a change of heart from what I wrote earlier condemning the celebration of easter. I now believe that I was right, AND wrong, depends on the person. Read Romans 14 for yourself, come to your own conclusion. I'm deleting the post where I condemn easter, since for some it may be ok . This post is a result of discussion with my wife and the Lord. Grace and Peace

Exposing Wolves-Charles Stanley

Charles Stanley is one of the most visible advocates of the doctrine of devils known as "once saved always saved" also known as OSAS. OSAS is one of satan's great masterpieces designed to send untold millions if not billions to the pits of hell. When we read the bible it tells us without the need of a false gospel, how we can know we are in right standing with the Lord. Take this scripture for example: Rom 8:16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God....See how easy that was? A direct quote from the bible that tells us if we are doubting where we stand with the Lord, the Spirit testifies with our spirit that we are the children of God. What that does NOT say is that the Spirit always testifies not matter what sin you commit, no matter how backslidden you are, no matter how sold out to satan you are, you are still the children of God. That would be Mr Charles Stanley's gospel not the Lord's.

So let's take a closer look at what the bible says regarding this doctrine of devils promoted by Charles Stanley:

Matthew 16:24 ... Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow me continually. If you want to know what it means to be "saved" it means someone who finishes what they started. Being "saved" is not some 5-15 second teary eyed event on one day of your life. To be saved is to FOLLOW THE LORD CONTINUALLY. See the difference? One event is a one day event, the other event is an every day event. Huge difference wouldn't you say? What's another way to say "follow me continually?" ABIDE IN ME:

John 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.Matt 3:10 The ax already lies against the roots of the trees.

This scripture right here ^^is irrefutable PROOF that the teachings of Mr Stanley and all other "once saved always saved" teachers are LIES. Do you think the Lord could have said "abide" in me a few more times maybe? How many times did he say "abide" in me? You need to go look up that word ABIDE in the dictionary then close the door, shut your eyes and let the meaning simmer in your mind until you "get it." If Jesus said ABIDE over and over and over and over do you think he was trying to make a point?

So.... every branch that isn’t producing good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire? Does "every branch" include you too? It certainly looks that way......1 John 2:24... What you have heard from the beginning must abide in you. Did you read that one carefully? See that word MUST in there? Notice the word ABIDE....again. What does the word MUST mean? Do we really need theological degrees to figure this out? Do we need to argue endlessly over what the word MUST means? When you are told that you MUST do something and you don't do it, what happens...............? 1 John 4:13 ... This is how we know that we abide in him and he in us: he has given us his Spirit.

What does "abide" mean? Abide: 1: to wait for : await 2 a: to endure without yielding. You see what "abide" means? Its NOT a one day event. Its an every day event. It means to wait for, to endure without yielding. So what happens when you do NOT endure and you do yield? Then you are no longer abiding. Go re-read John 15 for what happens to those who no longer abide in Christ.It has been written here that the "once saved always saved" doctrine is a doctrine of devils. It is a license to sin based around Satan's intimate knowledge of human nature. Mr Charles Stanley and OSAS present humans with a "sin/win" situation that will send MANY down the broad path of destruction (matt 7:21+). Charles Stanley tells you that you can sin all you want to and still be saved. Enjoy the sin today, enjoy heaven tomorrow with a few less rewards. Jesus might be upset but he'll understand and forgive you so what's to worry about? That's it in a nutshell.

Read this: Jude 1:4 For some people have slipped in among you unnoticed. They were written about long ago as being deserving of this condemnation because they are ungodly. They turn the grace of our God into uncontrollable lust and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus the Messiah. <---Think long and hard about what the Lord says to us there. They (Charles Stanley and men like him) turn the grace of our God into uncontrollable lust. That's another way of saying with their doctrine they hand you a license to sin. If I'm wrong, then you tell me what the Lord is referencing here when he says some people who slipped in unnoticed have turned the grace of God into uncontrollable lust? I know..I know...you can't be sure what he's talking about but its definitely NOT what you or your "church" are doing right? It's always somebody else, some other place, some other church..never yours. Well, the Lord is speaking to somebody there in Jude 1:4. Unfortunately for most people today, they'll do what they always do and blow off the Lord's warning as something that might give them a "spirit of fear" and go on living a lie instead.

We are told in Matt 7:14 that only a few will make it into heaven, but MOST people think they will make it in. See a problem with that? In Matt 7:21 we see MANY churchpeople (they call Jesus "Lord") turned away from the Lord yet the MANY in todays "christianity" think there is no problem with what they or their "pastor" are doing. See a discrepancy in there anywhere? The Lord loves His creation and because he loves it, he gives us both his rewards and his warnings laid out clearly for all to see. Todays religious systems seem to have an eye only for the rewards with a complete disregard for any and all warnings. I understand this since if the "pastor" says anything that might give someone a "spirit of fear" then attendance goes down, which means $$$$$ goes down which means the warnings of God are not allowed in the door. So we get what we have today which is a false gospel stripped of any and all warnings, candy coated and buffed to a high sheen for consumption by the masses.

Closely related with his teaching on OSAS, Charles Stanley has invented another doctrine of devils revolving around the "carnal christian." Basically the way Stanley describes these people, these "carnal christians" which are never mentioned in the bible look and act just like the world. They are up to their eyeballs in sin yet are still considered "christians." In case you haven't figured it out, its these people who are exactly the kinds of people Jesus tells us about here:

Matt 7:21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23 “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’

Did you read that? Who gets to enter heaven? Someone who made a 3 second teary eyed "decision for Jesus?" That's not what this says is it? It says those who do the will of the Father will enter. Are "carnal christians" living their lives eyeballs deep in every type of sin imaginable doing the will of the Father in heaven? If not, how do they or Mr. Stanley expect they will get into heaven? What else are we told? “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord....." and who exactly calls Jesus Lord? Do atheists or buddhists or satanists or muslims call Jesus Lord? No they don't.....its so called CHRISTIANS who call Jesus Lord. See all the 'wonderful' things they did for Jesus just before Jesus tells them to depart from him?

I have heard Charles Stanley preach some good messages that contain alot of truth in them, but does that prove? If I offer you a meal that is 99% steak and mashed potato dinner with 1% deadly poison on it, would you eat it? No you wouldn't, so WHY would you listen to preachers who offer you some truth some of the time and deadly poison the rest of the time? Won't that kill you just as effectively? Isn't it insane to say no to one and yes to the other? I'm sure Mr Stanley is a very nice man apart from his teaching of the doctrines of devils but he must be highlighted for his apostasy from the truth and his preaching of a false gospel which the bible says is a VERY serious offense:

Galatians 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!

This World Has Been Put on Notice

How do we know that the end is drawing VERY near? The Lord, in His infinite grace and mercy has laid upon the hearts of most people today that something VERY BAD is coming VERY SOON. They can't place it, people might disagree as to what it is, but almost everyone I talk to can sense something BIG is coming, something that's a threat to the human race. Question is, what are they going to do about it?

The great day of the Lord is near, near and hastening fast; the sound of the day of the Lord is bitter, the mighty man cries aloud there. A day of wrath is that day, a day of distress and anguish, a day of ruin and devastation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness, a day of trumpet blast and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the lofty battlements. {Zeph 1:14-16 RSV}

I will bring distress on men, so that they shall walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the Lord; their blood shall be poured out like dust, and their flesh like dung. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them on the day of the wrath of the Lord. {Zeph 1:17-18a RSV}

"Therefore wait for me," says the Lord, "for the day when I arise as a witness.For my decision is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms,to pour out upon them my indignation, all the heat of my anger;for in the fire of my jealous wrath all the earth shall be consumed." {Zeph 3:8 RSV}

Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly in midheaven, "Come, gather for the great supper of God, to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both small and great." And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who sits upon the horse and against his army. And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had worked the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast... {Rev 19:17-20a RSV}

This is what's coming, The rapture of the church, then all hell breaks loose on earth. Nothing has to happen between this moment and the rapture.

More Proof That Today's So Called Christianity is an Apostate HARLOT

Matthew 5:13[ Salt and Light ] "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.

Salt acts as a preservative, in the case of what the Lord is saying above, true Christianity "should" be keeping the rot out of the world, however if there is less and less true salt more rot will be evident in the world.

Look at the world today, I see millions and millions of so called christians running around praising some Jesus (evidently not the one in the Bible) and yet the rot and stench of this world is rising to the heavens, WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU? Most of the salt has lost its saltiness, what's masquerading in today's world as christianity is an apostate lie.

Come out of the babylonian whore brothers, lest you share in the judgement coming down on her...

What the Heck is a Worship "Service" -Part 2

I'm not quite done with this idea of "servicing" Jesus. Apostate churchianity (not christianity) likes to hold "services." Let's think about this word "service." As I explained yesterday, servicing is something a prostitute does, not a wife. What else does the word "service" tell us? Well for one, there's nothing permanent implied in the word service, it's a temporary business relationship. Someone provides a "service" and you pay for it, it's a business transaction. You think your pimp/pastor wants to get paid? Just tell your pimp you won't be bringing your wallet to church anymore and see how long he stays friendly.....We don't practice old testament Judaism, we practice New Testament Christianity, big difference. See, babylonian priests do not want to talk about New Testament instruction on giving:

2 Corinthians 9:7Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Giving NOT UNDER COMPULSION.......Nowhere in the New Testament will you see anything about "tithing" but prostianities pimps reach back to the Old Testament stepping over the Levitical priesthood, sacrificing animals, temple worship etc to cherry pick out "tithing" and leave the rest behind, coincidence?

We've seen here that a "service" is a business transaction, it's a temporary relationship (like the services of a harlot), someone pays-someone get's paid. The word "service" CANNOT be found when speaking in the context of family life, of brothers, sisters, or husband, wife relationships. When you drive by any of prostianities churches and you see the word "service" on their shingle, you know what you are getting, a business transaction...

What the Heck is a Worship "Service"

A "service" is something Jiffy Lube offers you for your car, NOT something we offer the Lord in love....

Think really long and really hard about this one. It exposes everything I've been saying for years about the apostate prostitute that calls itself "christianity." When a true believer worships the Lord it is supposed to be a deep, intimate, profound experience. We were made to worship the Creator. It is something He values HIGHLY. We are called the "bride of Christ," Jesus Christ, the Son of God's WIFE. The wife lives, eats and breathes with the husband, they are ONE, 24/7.

In contrast to a wife, what does a prostitute offer? They offer a "service" to their clients....much the same way you take your car to Jiffy Lube to have it "serviced." You tell me, WHAT THE HECK DOES THE WORD "SERVICE" HAVE TO DO WITH A HUSBAND/WIFE RELATIONSHIP? Nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Services are something a PROSTITUTE offers. Who ever came up with the idea of "church services/worship services" anyway?

Let me guess......................the mind of a prostitute? Think about it...

The Horsemen Approach

In the wake of reports that global wheat inventories are the lowest in recorded history and that the world is only a few months away from mass starvation, a Zionist monkey sitting in a big white house in Washington signs off on legislation that mandates a huge swathe of America's food crops to be turned into ethanol to offset energy dependence on all the environmentally-friendly nations he has either destroyed or wants to.

According to the New York Times, in order to fill a 100-liter (26- gallon) tank of an SUV, an ethanol producer has to process a quarter of a ton of wheat: "This is enough wheat for a baker to bake about 460 kilograms of bread, which has a total nutritional value of about a million kilocalories, enough to feed one person for a year."

Alexander Sharon, a major food retailer, says that US wheat stocks are critically low and that the industry is at a crisis point: "I'm personally concerned that for the first time in history the US may have a serious food shortage if we don't do something soon."

More Proof of a Pre-Trib Rapture

Rev 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.


Revelation 4

1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

What's going on with these "doors" we read about in Rev3 and 4 above? I mean, should we just disregard the Word, and press on with other reading or do these doors mean something? What are doors used for? DOORS ARE USED FOR PEOPLE TO COME IN AND GO OUT.

Hmmm, let's think here: A door open in heaven, a voice that sounds like a TRUMPET, and what's this? Rev 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit. Let's go through this again...a door open in heaven, a voice that sounds like a TRUMPET, then IMMEDIATELY HE WAS IN THE SPIRIT. But this isn't the best part, the best part comes next in Rev 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

So let's get this straight
Rev 3- a door open in heaven and a promise to be kept from "the hour of temptation"
Rev 4-a door open in heaven, a voice like a TRUMPET, and John translated from flesh to spirit
Rev 5-REDEEMED MEN IN HEAVEN, from every kindred, and tongue and people and nation. WHERE COULD REDEEMED MEN FROM EVERY KINDRED, AND TONGUE, AND NATION COME FROM?????????
Rev 6-Seal judgements opened and wrath of God poured out

"A door open in heaven" HAS SIGNIFICANCE, it means people are either going into heaven, or coming out of it, doors are used for people to pass through......When is the door open? Rev 3 we see it, and Rev 4.

Now we ask ourselves, would REDEEMED MEN IN HEAVEN in Rev 5 (before the seals opened or wrath of God poured out in Rev 6) be consistent with the rest of the bible where it says that believers would ESCAPE ALL that's about to happen? YES

lUKE 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

In Rev 5, the 24 elders must represent a larger group that adds up to MANY more than 24, here's a reason why, if there are redeemed men in heaven from every language, do you know how many living languages there are on the earth today? Somewhere in the ballpark of 7,000. That's not counting all the dead languages, plus all the nations, tribes, kindreds etc, we are WAY beyond 24 with this......can only mean one thing, a PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE. 70 weeks were determined for Israel, the church was'nt around for the first 69 weeks, why would we be around for the 70th week?


2 Thessalonians 2:1-12
Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling to meet him, we beg you, brethren, not to be quickly shaken in mind or excited, either by spirit or by word, or by letter purporting to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

I've read in many places where people say that the rapture cannot occur before "the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed" Is that what the Word of God is saying here? NO. It says "that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed"

THE DAY OF THE LORD will not come, until the rebellion comes and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the "day of the Lord" IS NOT the rapture. Paul is saying to the Thessalonians, relax, the day of the lord won't come until the apostasy occurs and the anti-christ is revealed, you know that has'nt happened yet. What troubled the Thessalonians then? They were under the impression that the day of the Lord was under way, and THEY HAD'NT BEEN RAPTURED, AND THAT TROUBLED THEM. Obviously they were taught by Paul that a pre-trib rapture would occur, THEN THE DAY OF THE LORD would come, WHY ELSE WOULD THEY BE TROUBLED?

In fact, I believe that the rapture of the church will occur, then destruction will fall on this world, EXACTLY according to the pattern we are told about in Luke 17 and Matt 24. The righteous are taken out, then destruction falls. Does this fit the pattern we see in the book of revelation? YES, in fact it fits PERFECTLY. We see the rapture in Rev 3-4, redeemed men in heaven in Rev 5, The anti-christ revealed and the day of the Lord beginning in Rev 6. It does'nt get much more straighforward than that. The apostasy/falling away is fully ripe TODAY, so be ready, be watching, Jesus could come back TODAY for true believers, then all hell breaks loose. Grace and Peace
