God’s Mystery

October 01, 2009 11:05 PM Subject: Re: Who is the BEAST, and the False Prophet - 

Answer:  We are living in Babylon which means “confusion.” Michael sent me a summary of the American History, which I also studied, so I had found it quite accurate. This is why I have posted it on my web site. Who is the BEAST and the False Prophet, and the Anti-christ, and the Anti-god is VITAL to know. The Bible clarify these being clearly, if we look at it carefully. Our problem now is that we are ALL “deceived” Rev.12:9, so we are not able to see the full picture, UNTIL our Creator “reveals” it to us, as He did to Apostle Paul the “mystery” Eph.3:3. The “False Prophet” Rev.19:20 is Papacy, the “another beast” Rev.13:11! The “Beast” is a more complex figure, for there is a #1 the “Human Beast,” whose “deadly wound is healed” Rev.13:3, 12. He comes first or BEFORE #2 “the Beast” comes. The final “BEAST” of Rev.17 #3 is the UNITED Beast of the “Spirit Beast,” who comes up form the “bottomless pit” Rev.11:7, who posses the Human Beast’s physical body, making it appear that it is resurrected, or came back to life. The BEAST is then the “Anti-christ.” Then there is the Anti-god, or Satan the Devil Rev.12:9, who is the “god of this world” 2Cor.4:4, who was created “evil” from his creation, (He did not fall, as Lucifer) by not having “truth” in him Jn.8:44. So the BEAST is a human / spirit being, or a governmental, none religious figure, say a king, executive / president whom the “another beast” will worships, is then the FALSE PROPHET. The BEAST is “higher” in status / rank than the ecclesiastic False Prophet. Now, as God’s “Two Witnesses” Rev.11:3 has many “prophets,” the Beast has many people fulfill that office. (I believe the first one was Mr. Bush, now it is Mr. Obama, and it is possible there will be a new figure coming if Mr. Obama is not the final figure. God’s “Witnesses” then are a position, or an “office” you might say, whom human beings or prophets occupy. God’s First Witness is sent to the Christians, and has ONE Prophet per Acts.13:41 or “a man.” God’s Second Witness, or office is held by two (2) prophets or “two witnesses,” who “torment” the world with “plagues” Rev.11:10, as Moses did. Now Michael at this moment cannot see this, so he has a little difficulty accepting my explanations. This tells me that he is not yet “saved.” For to be saved we MUST accept that the Bible is true. And if we see Mat.24:37, and Rev.12:9 we see that we are ALL deceived, and do not have God’s “holy spirit,” only the Holy Spirit of the churches. So if we don’t have God’s “holy spirit,” we only have an ANGELIC spirit of God’s seven churches Rev.2&3. This prevents us to be in the resurrection without dying. Why? It is because we miss Christ’s “knowledge of salvation” Lk.1:77, which was revealed to Apostle Paul in the “mystery” revelations Eph.3:3. Without the KNOWLEDGE of salvation it is difficult to be saved. This is why the “many” Mat.7:14, among the “called” Jn.6:44 “FEW” to be saved in this “age,” or “dispensation” will be all MARTYRS. Only t he Christians who have the “knowledge of salvation,” and “obey” God, will be in the resurrection without dying ICor.15:52. Blessings and Peace, tom

The Amero, Its Spiritual Significance

The email I received this morning is awesome and brings the picture together. PLEASE READ THE WHOLE EMAIL. IT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE FOREVER. Sometimes we think we are there and are far from it.  

I have seen the new money and the pyramid that is on the dollar bill (uncapped) is completely capped on the new money.  The world refuses to take our dollar since it is printed on paper and worthless. The war in Iraq was about that. Iran, Chavez and North Korea same thing, axis of evil. Now the rest followed suit.

The Freemasons did set up this country for that purpose. Mormons are Freemasons, their temples all face east. They worship Baal.

The White House is full of Freemasons, Obama is a 33 degree Mason and they are behind schedule. The American Union was to take place in 2005 according to Rockefeller’s own words. I have a DVD. I have researched since 1992 and we are on steroids now to get there. Obama is perfect for the job since he represents interfaith. He is a Muslim / Christian (not a born again believer since you can’t be interfaith if you are). There is only ONE GOD OF THREE PERSONS (THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT) WHO ARE ONE GOD. Muslims and interfaith “Christians” worship a God “uno” monotheistic where born again believers worship a triune God.

The true Bride of Christ is the invisible Church, Body of Christ to be delivered soon. To receive the truth, ask God to give you the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit, by repenting of the past unbelieving state of mind, and He, God, will put the Holy Spirit into your heart and give you eternal life in heaven. 
John 3:16 ”For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”  Yes, it is that simple.

One can’t believe in God until one has the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth. That’s His name. We believe all the lies when we don’t have Him. 

Jesus speaking: “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.” John 10:28,29

Hall’s above statement, The end is about to begin. The 2012 movie states: (The end is just the beginning). This is when the tribulation shall begin; the very day the “MAN” of Sin shall be set up in Jerusalem to become Earth’s final dictator. 
Dear Reader, you need to understand what Manly P. Hall  second only to Freemasonry’s Grand Commander   Albert Pike, stated:
 
“Not only were many of the founders of the United States Government Masons, but they received aid from a secret and august body existing in Europe which helped them to establish this country for  “(A PECULIAR AND PARTICULAR PURPOSE)”  known only to the initiated few.

 The Great Seal is the “Signature” of this exalted body, unseen and for the most part unknown; and the unfinished pyramid upon its reverse side is a trestleboard setting forth symbolically the task to the accomplishment of which the United States Government was dedicated (from the day of its inception) Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages, pp. XC and XCI

This “Exalted Body” is none other than the Jesuit Order

 With the impact soon to be placed on the people by the economic fallout (along with whatever else they have decided) tsunami’s, needles, nukes… I urge you to study “Project Vatican” with a God felt desire to understand what is being brought forth against humanity full speed. The 3rd. encyclical the Pope delivered last month one day before the start of the G8 summit meeting in Italy coincides 100% with the very words used in “Project Vatican”  to such a degree proving AGAIN their proposed plan to devastate the Earth and deceive  it’s inhabitants; further shedding light upon the grievous words against man the Jesuit Order is laying forth. I urge and encourage you to greatly consider these things. The Visa (666) issue also is placed there inside right in front of you… The theme: International Social responsibility for the general economic welfare of all mankind.

 
Benedict stated: “the pernicious effects of sin are evident” in the world’s current economic system. He  singled out: the desire to achieve profits above all else as a major problem in the global marketplace: “Once profit becomes the exclusive goal, if it is produced by improper means and without the common good as it’s ultimate end (the end justifies the means) sound familiar? it risks destroying wealth and creating poverty.” He calls for the establishment of a ” True World Political Authority” to oversee the world’s economy and work for the “common good” of all people instead of economic pursuits being determined largely by the interests of financiers and international big business. He wants to remove the state’s public authorities and to re-evaluate their role and their powers for they are directly involved with the errors that have taken place. His International Political Authority is one guided by a “theological dimension.”(R.C.)  I have again added just a bit of “Project Vatican” below for you to see(hear) their words set forth long before this man was set up. The world empires (heads) our Lord has told us about relating to the 7th. and 8th. will be RomeriKa and the Son Of Perdition//the ”MAN” Of Sin set up in Jerusalem. (Daniel 11:45)  I am assured you shall see these things brought forth VERY SOON.   
  

Phase V Strategy 4

Core of Strategy 4
International monopolistic control of all financial institutions and transactions.
This began January 1, 1993 with the creation of the European Roman Empire (ERE). VISA Corporation is poised to label every citizen, upon request from the ERE, with identifying barcode technology. The backlash against the paranoia of the religious right-wing in the United States and Canada has ensured a very liberal, relaxed attitude toward this imminent accounting system. Slated for the year 2001, (the year 2000 was the year the capstone WAS to be placed upon the pyramid //Y2K hoax)…. this will enable the World Trade Organization (WTO) to require all governments operating under WTO agreements to join the ERE system in identifying all citizens and monetary transactions. Full global cooperation is expected, as it is anticipated that those governments refusing to cooperate with the WTO will, in effect, “comply by attrition“.

 With the rampant materialism, environmental destruction and military instability of the capitalist systems fully extinguished through the controls set in place by the “new global economy”, the Vatican-backed RCEA will be in position to compel international compliance to Eucharistic adoration and communion, ushering in the peace and prosperity inherent in the Kingship of Jesus Christ. The Global Eucharistic Community (GEC) was formally invoked by the Vatican on December 31, 1999, which will preside over the WTO, the GEC and the RCEA.

 

ince the fall of the Roman Empire, there has been the dream of a unified Europe. We are seeing a brand new Roman Empire reconstructed. The European Community has utilized an identification mark in cooperation with VISA Corporation. VI is 6 in Roman numerals, S was 6 in ancient Egypt and A was 6 in Sanskrit; a “hide in plain sight” strategy has resulted in the choice by VISA Corporation and the ERE of the number 666 in the implementation of this citizen accounting system.Project: Vatican

 THE SUN: A UNIVERSAL DEITY
 
The sun “rises in the east,” and in the East is the place for the Worshipful Master. As the (sun is the source) of all light and warmth, so should the worshipful master enliven and warm the brethren to their work. Among the ancient Egyptians the sun was the symbol of devine providence.

The posture “ad orientem,” or “facing east,” is about having a common direction of lithurgical prayer, he adds. He of the London Oratory, and recently appointed to work for the Pontifical Commission for the Cultural Heritage of the church, is the author of “Turning Toward The Lord: (Orientation in Lithurgical Prayer).”  (Baal worship)
 
Q: How did the practice of celebrating the liturgy “ad orientem,” or ”Facing East” develop in the early church? What is it’s theological significance? Father Lang: In most major religions, the position taken in prayer and the layout of holy places is determined by a “sacred direction.” They saw in the “rising sun” a symbol of the Resurrection and Second Coming, and it was a matter of course for them to pray facing this direction. There is strong evidence of Eastward prayer in most parts of the Christian(r.c.) world from the second century onward. There is a close connection between Eastward prayer and the cross; (both being sun symbols) this is evident by the fourth century, if not earlier. In synagogues of this period, the corner with the receptacle for the torah scrolls indicated the direction of prayer–”qibla” toward Jerusalem. Among Christians (r.c.) it became a general custom to mark the direction of prayer with a cross on the east wall in the apses of basilicas as well as in private rooms, for example, of monks and solitaries.
 
 Toward the end of the first millenium, we find theologians of different traditions noting that prayer facing east is one of the practices distinguishing Christianity from the other religions of the Near East: Jews prey toward Jerusalem, muslims pray toward Mecca, but Christians pray toward the east. (Easter Sunrise service//Ezekiel//Tammuz). “Facing East” in liturgical prayer is part of the Byzantine, Syriac, Armenian, Coptic and Ethiopian traditions. It is still the custom in most Eastern rites, at least during the Eucharistic prayer. For this reason, the Vatican Congregation for Eastern Churches declared in 1996 that the ancient tradition of praying toward the East has a profound lithurgical and spiritual value and must be preserved in the eastern Rites.

Please realize they are putting in your face what they are about to do. They blame God! But remember Jesus Words: Revelation 11:18
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy “them which destroy the earth“.

 

The End Time Babylon

Interpreting Scripture with Scripture

Editor Rita Williams of Cephas Ministry 

There is a great deal of controversy about Babylon. Many write long articles about their conviction that the United States is Babylon. It is very easy to come to that conclusion reading John’s description of Babylon. People don’t really think truth when they write their own interpretations. The United States is not what people make it out to be. It houses a lot of people who are debtors to banks, consuming products to keep the economy afloat. The bankers borrow from the Federal Reserve which is a private corporation. The American government is an example of this process. They sell treasury bonds (pieces of paper) to get funds to operate wars and subsidize the state governments with some of the money they receive from worker’s taxes of each particular state. I can’t agree that the United States is rich and glorious. Quite the contrary, she is overburdened with debt from top to bottom.

 Revelation addresses the end time. It states that much merchandise is being traded. That is the case world wide depending on who manufactures what and what is needed in each particular country.  America used to export their goods all over the world. Today she is importing and exporting little to nothing. America is fast becoming a third world country.

 What about the weapons. Who was the creator of warships, bombers, bombs, tanks and whatever is used in crushing nations. America didn’t get involved with WWII until Germany was at her weakest point. The people had already surrendered and accepted Americans as deliverers from their evil empire.

 Why did Hitler’s Germany have to be divided and conquered? It had become an industrial nation. It was unified in their religion, work ethic and national pride. The Bible teaches unity like that is very powerful, so powerful that it threatens God. It can be paralleled to the Tower of Babel. (Genesis 11:1-8)

 In fact the European Union uses the picture of the Tower of Babel surrounded by a number of pentagrams as a representation of who they represent in the Bible.

 Hitler’s dream was Germany over ‘all’ (the entire world). That national anthem was “Deutschland, Deutschland, ueber alles.. “  Hitler was the machine working for the Papacy. As a young man, Hitler aspired to become a Catholic Priest which is hardly ever mentioned.  Considered today as the most evil leader who ever existed, he was certainly possessed by the devil. Today his dream is fulfilled. Nobody believed that it could be done but it got done.

 The Roman Empire in Biblical times was not just Italy. It encompassed many countries. Romans were warriors conquering and raping countries. They were in Israel for the same reason to kill and rape. Jesus was a threat because His followers wanted Him to become King. His reply was that His Kingdom was not of the world.  

The Catholic Church teaches that the Apostle Peter was the first Pope.  Jesus was referring to Himself when he addressed Peter and said: “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”  (Matthew 16:18) The Bible refers to Jesus as the rock in a number of verses. Take  Matthew 7:25  “And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.”

 Taking that literally, the house would be washed off the rock by the rain and wind since there is nothing to hook unto. Jesus later said to Peter,  “But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.”

 Obviously Jesus could not have trusted a man with His church. In 380 A.D. Catholic Christianity was declared a state religion of the Roman Empire.  In 381 A.D. the First Ecumenical Council was held in Constantinople.

 Since we are discussing the church here, can we say that this ecumenical Catholic Christianity is what Jesus was referring to when He spoke of His Church? Certainly not. This question leads us into the “Mystery Babylon.” 

 BABYLON THE ANCIENT COUNTRY

 The word Babylon comes up in different context in various parts of the Bible and needs to be addressed if we are going to find out who or what Babylon is.

In 2 Kings 24:10 we find Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. The location is Iraq today. The Book of Daniel refers to a dream that Nebuchadnezzar had that lays the foundation of the future Babylon.  

There are three concepts of Babylon. One is the country run by Nebuchadnezzar.

 THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TOWER OF BABEL

AND BABYLON

 The second concept is the relationship of Babylon to the Tower of Babel. It represents the people building this tower of Babel into heaven by means of Astrology, Freemasonry that originated in Solomon’s Temple. Solomon’s Temple was God’s Temple until Solomon married 700 pagan women.

 The people were unified in their effort to reach heaven without God, instead reaching for Satan’s principality and his powers. God countered this movement by dividing the people into hundreds of groups, giving them new languages that made it impossible to communicate. He disbursed them across the world. That is what caused the many ethnic groups. The name of the Tower of Babel is derived from the word “babble” depicting the sounds of foreign languages.

 To regain Satan’s powers men had to develop new ways to get access. The Masonic Brotherhood became popular world wide. Persecution developed between Christians and the brotherhood. Masonic practices were forbidden by the Gospel. Most all kings, queens and presidents of countries participate in this brotherhood and practice its rituals worshipping Satan for gain.

To dupe the people who were not invited to join the brotherhood, this Masonic craft was kept secret.  This was the very reason the Masons were also called Knights and infiltrated the churches, predominantly the Catholic Church.

 Although the Knights of Templar were originally Christ’s representatives protecting pilgrims on the road to Jerusalem, they were infiltrated as well and consequently became corrupted.

 The Knights of Templar developed the banking system and accumulated riches. Pope Clement V in 1305 accused the Templars of malpractices and eradicated the brotherhood by hangings, burnings at the stake and lifetime incarcerations. Few escaped to England and Ireland where they continued their practice.

 The Pope also protected the Hospitaler and the Knights of Malta.

In 1776 the United States of America was founded mostly by men who were Freemasons. Since this teaching originated under King Solomon in Israel the brotherhood consisted originally of Jews who infiltrated countries all over the world. In America they set up a government which allowed them to practice their craft without interference from government or churches. Free speech was the key. Today Freemasons / Jews are the government of the world system. They are once again working on the Tower of Babel trying to unify the world into one entity against God’s will.

 THE REEMERGING TOWER OF BABEL

 If God destroyed the effort once,  why would He want it to reappear?

The question is answered in the Book of Daniel.   

Daniel 2:28-47 “But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;  As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.  But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart. 

Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.  This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.”

 [THE FOLLOWING VERSE SPEAKS OF THE CHURCH, THE BODY OF CHRIST, INVISIBLE] “Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.  Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.”

[THE PREVIOUS SENTENCE REFERS TO JESUS CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH]   

 “This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king. Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.” [NEBUDCHADNEZZAR WAS THE KING OF BABYLON] “And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.

 “And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.  And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. 

 “And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.  Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. 

 “Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him. The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.

 Daniel 2:32 & 38 prove that the head of gold represents Babylon (Iraq) run by Nebuchadnezzar.  The breast and arms of silver follows the fall of Babylon and represents Mede, Persia (Iran) (Daniel 2:39) The third kingdom was signified by brass representing Greece (philosophies, evolution, man = to God).  The fourth kingdom in charge was represented by the legs of iron. That’s the Roman Empire.

 “The feet of this statue representing the world were made of iron and clay which does not hold together. The Roman Empire was infiltrated with Christians.  (Daniel 2:42, 43) 

 The ten toes represent the final reward by Antichrist to the ten kings who helped him secure the world. The Club of Rome has divided the world into 10 regions.

 Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece and the Roman Empire that existed before Christ Jesus and during His ministry vanished over time. (Daniel 2:38-44) The Bible calls for the Roman Empire to reappear.

 Revelation 17:10-18 And there are seven kings: five are fallen (Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia and Greece) , and one is (Roman Empire), and the other is not yet come (Antichrist Kingdom); and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

 (Here it is told who the beast is) “And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

 “And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These (10 Kings of the world system or the European Union which also has within it a group of 10) shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

 “And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

 “For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, (Rome) which reigneth over the kings of the earth.”

 MYSTERY BABYLON

 This brings us to the third Babylon called the Mystery Babylon. The question is, what does the whore have to do with Babylon?

The Papacy claims to be the church founded by the Apostle Peter which is not true. Romans were Gentiles and the Gentiles were assigned to the Apostle Paul.

 Ephesians 3:1-21 confirms that the Apostle Paul was to teach the Gentiles. Paul stated the following:  “For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,  Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

“Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.”

 “ Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. “

 “Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.”

 The word mystery came up several times in connection with God’s message. It is a mystery to most and only revealed to those who ask God to reveal it through His apostles.

 Since Satan is also a spirit being, he has his mysteries as well. They cannot be received without joining a brotherhood of Masonry of sorts. Most Masons have no idea that they are caught up in Satan’s territory. They are told to join a church to make them think that they are Christians as well. His teachings are so parallel to God’s, that many will not be receiving salvation. They are unwittingly caught in Satan’s promises instead of God’s. 

 “And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”   [It is a well-known fact that most all leaders visit the Pope and get his blessings. Many get knighted by the Pope which includes Christian preachers. Fornication means that they participate in paganism].

 “So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads (previously discussed) and ten horns (ten regions given to 10 kings). And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:” [The Bible could not be clearer about the fact that this description fits the Papacy with its Cardinals].

 “And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”  [Notice here the application to earth, not a specific country].

 Most all denominations are offspring from the Catholic Church and those that are not have Masonic roots touching base with the Masonic roots of the Catholic Church. Most all denominations are members of the Ecumenical Council of Churches. The word “Catholicism” means “universal”. The Popes have a relationship with Muslims as well because they are Masons. The Holy Quran is one of the three Emblematical Lights in masonry.

 “And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is [Roman Empire] . And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains [Rome sits on seven mountains], on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.”

 The answer to our original question:  “is the United States Babylon?” This passage answers that question.  “And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.”  The seven are Egypt, Babylon, Mede / Persia, Greece and the Roman Empire (comes up 3 times: was, is, and will be) which makes seven and the eighth is the Antichrist.  

 CONCLUSION:

 “And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 

 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen [SHE BELIEVES SHE IS THE BRIDE OF CHRIST WHEN IN REALITY SHE IS THE HARLOT], and am no widow [ THE JEWS ARE THE WIDOW. GOD DIVORCED HER.]

 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,  And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. 

 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,

 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For in one hour so great riches is come to nought.

And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

 “Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;”

  “And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.” Amen

JESUS CHRIST” “HATE CRIMINAL?”

 
JESUS CHRIST” “HATE CRIMINAL?”


By Rev. Ted Pike  
History of Jewish “Speech Criminals” 
In ancient Israel, under leadership of false priests, prophets, and evil kings, it was as much a speech crime to criticize the Jewish people as it is in Canada today. One of Jesus’ first acts of public “anti-Semitism” occurred in his home synagogue of Nazareth. Standing before the congregation, He criticized the unworthiness of most Jews during the history of Israel. His listeners were so enraged they tried to throw him over a cliff! (Luke 6:16-30) Three years later their leaders finally succeeded in having him crucified. If these Jews lived in Canada today, they would surely have filed a hate crimes charge against Jesus for holding the Jewish people up to “hatred and contempt.” The Pharisees would have filed charges for each of His dozens of accusations against them. Each charge of Jewish hurt feelings would bring a $5,000 fine. Of course, Jesus would repeat the offense and face many contempt of court charges and years of imprisonment as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars of fines and legal costs.
If Jesus walked the earth today in Canada and most European countries, He would be an oft-convicted “hate criminal.” In some hate laws countries it is now an indictable offense to publicly criticize Jesus’ primary target: sinners in need of God’s love and salvation!
Five years ago, a northern Canadian Christian called to tell me he had been passing out gospel tracts in his town when a police officer informed him that provincial law now banned such “hate speech.” If he kept witnessing, he would be arrested.
In Holland, Dutch relatives plead with us to keep hate laws from coming to America. There, anyone who publicly criticizes “sinners” (such as fornicators, adulterers, or homosexuals) faces arrest.
In Iceland, virtually any critical public speech is a hate crime.
In England, even wearing a cross is a hate crime. The government sees it as judgmental against non-Christians.

Because Jesus boldly, publicly reproved all sinners regardless of consequences to Himself, He would now suffer multiple arrests, imprisonments, and huge legal costs if He lived in most hate law countries.
   
 

There is one hate crime for which He would suffer the most: being an “anti-Semite.” The Jewish Anti-Defamation League created hate laws. Anti-Christian Jewish-dominated attack-groups such as ADL, Southern Poverty Law Center, People for the American Way and the American Civil Liberties Union are the spiritual and physical descendants of those Jesus excoriated: the Pharisees. ADL has made sure that in all of its hate law bureaucracies worldwide, any criticism of matters Jewish is deemed anti-Semitic and punished severely.

 

 

All the greatest Hebrew prophets would join Him in prison. Ahab accused Elijah of the “anti-Semitic” crime of troubling Israel. Ahab declared him to be Israel’s most wanted hate criminal for criticizing its sin and bringing three years of drought. Jeremiah was repeatedly accused by both laity and leaders of speaking against the Jewish people and their holy city. For this they threw him in a well to die. In almost every age, going back to Israel’s exodus from Egypt, evil Jewish leaders forbade criticism of God’s chosen people. During the Exodus the rebels of Korah said, “all the congregation is holy… and the Lord is among them.” (Deuteronomy 16:3) They denounced Moses as an enemy of the people for criticizing and judging evil Hebrews.
Since then history has recorded the rise of Pharisaism and enshrinement of their Talmud and Zohar as the highest religious guide to Jews of all time. Today Talmudic Jews still consider it very wrong, even blasphemous, for any Gentile to criticize the Chosen Race. In fact, ADL’s Office of Global Anti-Semitism in the US State Department says any “strong” criticism of Israel, including its leaders or military, is anti-semitic.
Could America become an environment as hostile as ancient Israel, imprisoning or even eventually killing those who criticize the Jews? We are moving rapidly in that direction. ADL’s federal hate crimes bill, recently passed by the US House and Senate, is designed to transform America into a speech crimes tyranny just like ancient Israel under its most oppressive leadership.
Yet because Jewish-dominated media gives the hate bill issue virtually no attention, wanting the hate bill passed without discussion, even most Conservatives consider it minor legislation. (See, “Jews Confirm Big Media is Jewish“) Result: most of the tens of thousands of tea-party tax and town hall protesters have not included the hate bill in their criticisms of the Democrats this spring and summer.

In reality, the hate bill is by far the most dangerous legislation ever passed by the House and Senate. It is designed to lead directly to the end of free speech and subsequent loss of all other freedoms in America. In the remaining weeks before it goes to the President for signing, Americans must speak out in their protest-gatherings. We must bombard Obama with demands he not sign it – on penalty of massive damage to the Democrats in next year’s midterm elections.Last Minute Opportunity 
 
 We are very, very late in effectively protesting the hate bill. Yet a window of opportunity is opening. Obama threatens to veto the National Defense Appropriations Bill with hate bill attached, if it contains too much military “pork.” Congressional leaders seem determined to defy the President and include excessive arms spending. There now exists a real possibility that the defense/hate bill could be vetoed – especially if wide-spread hate bill protest increases. Democrats could be made to fear that they and the President might become even less popular, especially at mid-terms next year, if the President signs a hate bill most Americans hate.

 

 

We must seize this opportunity and
 1.    Protest the hate bill loudly at town hall meetings (Family Research Council lists all the upcoming town halls in your area, Click Here.) Attend with powerfully indicting questions contained in my recent e-alert “Blast Hate Bill at Town Hall Meetings!” at Truthtellers.org.
2.    Fax the President at 1-202-456-2461 with this statement, “We will never forgive or forget if you sign the freedom-stealing, pedophile-protecting hate bill.” (The toll free number to the President’s comment line, 202-456-1111, is almost constantly busy as a result of health-care protest.)
 
Tragically, Christian/Conservatives, through two decades of general inattention to the hate law threat and relatively low opposition through winter and spring, are largely responsible for allowing the hate bill to pass both houses of Congress. Predictably, no major evangelical “watchdog” group has joined with me this summer in rousing last minute hate bill protests at town hall meetings, or bombarding the White House with faxes demanding the President not sign the bill.
The hate bill cobra, with a Star of David pattern on its throat, is still confined. Yet if finally released by the master snake charmer, Obama, it will slither forth to unerringly bite and torment one group above all others…
The followers of Jesus Christ.

A Response to Ted Pike’s Comments

Beloved,

Considering the controversy that is going on within the church to the effect that there should have been more action on the part of Christians where the Hate Crime Bill is concerned, I offer this defense. Although our efforts were not recognized by those who are complaining, we did try to get people to call their Senators by the hundreds of thousands to reconsider their decision. Since I participated and received many letters from organizations to participate, I felt offended when Christians were broad brushed to be inactive. You be the judge if Jesus expects us to get involved in the political process. I can only speak for myself. My message is to reveal the truth and what believers and nonbelievers do with it is their responsibility.

Harry Reed is a Mormon. Mormons are not Christians. They lie people into their organization. I don’t expect any more from liars than what they represent. Politicians are liars, aren’t they? Why do we think we could have an effect on them?

Here is what the Word of God has to say about our conduct;

 

Matthew 13:22  He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

John 12:25  He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

John 12:47  And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

John 14:17  Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

John 14:27  Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

John 15:19  If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

John 16:33  These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

John 17:9  I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

John 18:36  Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

John 18:37  Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

Shalom,

QUESTION: ON THE CATHOLIC FAITH…

 

Subject: Question on The Catholic Faith…

Date: Mar 6, 2009 – I read an article on your site criticizing the catholic belief of Holy Communion. My question is this, did Christ not say in the Last Supper to “Eat this bread and Drink this cup” and then “Do this in memory of me”. Explain this to me by your beliefs. As you probably guessed, I am a Catholic But one who has explored (at least online) the other Christian faiths and went on to be disillusioned by the FALSE Christian websites that encourage experience and whatever else which is why I ended up on your site (DISCERNMENT SITES) after doing research and learning of my mistake on trusting in the “prophecies” and false doctrines of those in the Prophetic movement. I have been a constant reader of other discernment sites but found no articles to Catholicism (mentions of its flaws, there were but never a whole article). I applaud discernment sites such as yours. I want to discern this topic… especially as I have had some faith especially in Communion. Yes, the Catholic faith has its flaws, but I didn’t think Communion was one of them. Even in the books/letters of the Apostles, there were mentions of this practice right?

 

ANSWER: WHAT DOES CATHOLIC FAITH HAVE TO DO WITH JESUS CHRIST?

CATHOLICISM VS BIBLICAL FAITH

 

Your inquiry is most welcome since we wish to answer questions that may arise. One of the biggest problems is that we take a piece out of the Bible here and a piece there and build our own religion around it. That is the reason we have thousands of denominations, when it is not about buildings or denominations at all.

 

 I, like you, raised a Lutheran, searched and searched, to align myself with a religion I believed to be truth that was in me without reading the Holy Bible that contains the truth. We want to be spoon fed from a preacher who may or may not know what they are talking about. We want to find agreement with other’s faith to see if what we believe is correct. I kept digging thinking I would find it somewhere hopping from church to church and listening to preachers on radio and TV.

 

What I found was lie upon lie. Most denominations have been infiltrated with Freemasonry (see index in Cephas Ministry) and that includes the Catholic Church. The Pope is proselytizing all religions, including Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, etc. to come under his wings which the Bible forbids. Freemasons are told to join churches to keep their affiliation to Lucifer secret. Many Freemasons do not know they serve Lucifer because they are not told until they have climbed to the top of Masonry. Many would leave the brotherhood if they knew.  

 

 

 

MASONIC ROOTS IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

Example 1: Catholic priest becomes Freemason in Rome; calls Pope’s ban ‘a thing of the past’

February 19, 2007 – Calling the Pope’s edict against Catholics becoming Freemasons “a thing of the past,” Father Rosario Francesco Esposito, age 85, took his Masonic obligations recently at the Masonic headquarters at Piazza del Gesu in Rome.

The Italian Paulist priest, along with Father Giovanni Caprile, SJ, was once commissioned by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (known by the name the Holy Inquisition until the early 20th century) to study the Church’s teaching on Freemasonry. In 1983 the prefect of the Congregation, then-Cardinal now-Pope Joseph Ratzinger, made a public announcement that the teaching of the Church had not changed. Earlier this month, the Burning Taper reported that Father Edward McNamara, professor of liturgy at the Regina Apostolorum University, reiterated via a Q & A in the Zenit News Agency that a Catholic who joins a Masonic lodge should be given a[n unnamed] “just penalty,” and one promoting Freemasonry or in a leadership role should be punished by interdict, an ecclesiastical penalty that deprives the person of the right to celebrate or receive the sacraments but is less harsh than excommunication.

http://burningtaper.blogspot.com/2007/02/catholic-priest-becomes-freemason-in.html

 

Example 2: The secularization of the property of the order in Protestant countries was extended by the French Revolution to the greater number of Catholic countries. On the other hand, Czar Paul of Russia assigned them considerable property in his domains (1797), and in return was elected grand master, but his election was not recognized by the pope. From that time forward the pope has named the grand master of the bailiff who takes his place. From 1805 to 1879 there was no grand master, but Leo XIII re-established the dignity, bestowing it on an Austrian, Geschi di Sancta Croce. It is now (1910) held by Galeazzo von Thun Hohenstein. The actual conditions for admission to the order are: nobility of sixteen quarterings, the Catholic Faith, attainment of full legal age, integrity of character, and corresponding social position. There are now in existence only four great priories, one in Bohemia, and three in Italy. There are still commanders and several classes of knights, with different insignia, but all wear the same eight-pointed Maltese cross (see PONTIFICAL DECORATIONS).  http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07477a.htm

Catholics have had the Knights of Malta, Knights of Columbus and the Hospitalers throughout history of the church. The Bible forbids this practice. Ephesians 5:11 “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” 2 John 1:9-11  “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”

 

 

THE HOLY COMMUNION IS NOT WHAT CATHOLICS TEACH. THE ROUND WAFER HELD UP REPRESENTS THE SUN. CATHOLICS, SAME AS MASONS, ARE SUN WORSHIPPERS

“Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” (John 6:54) “And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. (Luke 22:19) “After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.” (1 Corinthians 11:25) 

Jesus speaking in John 14:26  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”

 

WHAT IS OUR SPIRITUAL CONDITION?

The Bible states that the Word of God is in all people in John 1:9 “That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.  

 

Next we find out in John 1:14 that “the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” “In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” (John 1:4-5)

 

Basically we have to connect up to what is in us through Jesus Christ. Our spirit lies dormant within the soul. God meant for all of us to live forever with Him but after the fall of mankind God produced the 10 Commandments, creating the sin factor condemning us to hell.  In other words our spirit connection to God died. We became connected to the world ruler’s spirits instead.

 

“That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:  And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.” (Ephesians 2:12-22)

 

“That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:27

 

 

 

THE APOSTLE PAUL WAS ASSIGNED TO THE GENTILES

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 

 

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 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. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

 

That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:  In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

 

That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.  In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

 

Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 

 

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,  Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him (Jesus Christ) to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body (God’s bidy), the fulness of him (God) that filleth all in all.

 

 

HOW DID JESUS BUILD HIS CHURCH? DID IT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH DENOMINATIONS?

After Jesus chose His disciples, they wanted Him to be their King right then so they could get high positions. Jesus “..said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 18:3; “And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:” (Luke 17:20); “… My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.” He is inferring that His Kingdom will be here at a later time.  (John 18:36); “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” (Romans 14:17).  Note the righteousness, peace and joy is in the Holy Spirit not ours in the flesh, but Jesus’ substituted for ours.

 

What was Jesus Christ talking about when He uttered these words: “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock (Jesus referring to Himself) I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18). To go a bit further: in Acts 20:28  “Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.” This Scripture tells Who built Christ’s Church: The Holy Spirit. What does that mean?

 

In John 3:5-8  “Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.  The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.”

 

Water could relate to the waterbag that breaks when a person is born or the water baptism that was practiced by the Aaronic Priesthood in the Old Testament. The Spirit birth is what being born again means. That is how the Holy Spirit builds His church that is called the Body of Christ Jesus which is identified further as the Bride of Christ. It means that the Body of Christ Jesus, the Church, is invisible. It is not of the world. The hard part of course is how do we become part of it?    

 

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE BORN AGAIN?

Anything that is born begins with a seed even in the spiritual realm. “When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.” (Matthew 13:19). In other words the seed did not take hold. Like babies when they are to begin eating food they start with mother’s milk and then comes cereal. What do babies do? They spit it out. Do we stop feeding them? No. We keep putting it into their mouths until they begin to like it. Bible study can be likened to the same process. We come up with excuses why we just don’t have time for it. That’s the world trying to keep us in its mindset. It means we have to be on guard that Satan doesn’t steal our study time with distractions.  

 

Instinctively we know, if we are smart, we wish to be set free from the controls of this world. We listen to sermons whenever possible. The Word gets into us by someone, somewhere in our lifetime and hopefully falls on a heart such as described by Jesus Christ: “But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it (pays attention to what he is hearing); which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” (Matthew 13:23 )   

 

Jesus wants us to be carriers of His good news: “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” (1 Peter 1:23) This verse means that the Word of God is incorruptible, hallelujah.  

 

Now if you put that together you will find the following: if being born again means that we are born of the Spirit, then the Word of God (the KJV Bible) is the seed which comes from the Spirit. The Bible is true because it was inspired by the Holy Spirit and is Spirit.

“And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:” (Ephesians 6:17)   

 

 “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)

 

HOW DO WE GET CONNECTED TO JESUS CHRIST?

Jesus Christ Who is the corner stone and the headstone of our Church, the apostles the foundation upon which the Church is built, and addressing believers in the Holy Spirit “ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.” (1 Peter 2:5)

 

Mark 5:36  “As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith .. Be not afraid, only believe.”  “And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” (Luke 4:4) Why? Revelation 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.” “And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.  His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.” (Revelation 19:11-13)  

 

“And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” (Revelation 19:16) 

 

Light on the Tribulation Confusion

Mar 13, 2009 3:23 PM

Dear One,

 Your encouragement was humbly received and so were your    questions. The Book of Revelation is rarely taught in church because it is so confusing. Some believe that it should be read backwards to get the message that it contains in conjunction with the Book of Daniel. Since it is my favorite subject I did extensive research on the Rapture.

I use the Hebrew Greek Key Study Bible KJV by AMG Publishers Editor Spiros Zodhiates a Greek. His Bible, after looking at all the rest, was the best and was recommended by Dr. John Ankerberg. Spiros has an American PhD in Greek language. Since he is a Greek, he would have understanding of the language. He put a Lexical Aid into the Bible which explains all the keywords indicated by numbers similar to the Concordance. The Bible is still available at Amazon. Spiros has gone back to Greece.

I have the Dake Bible. In spite of the convincing detail, that Bible fell into disrepute. The man’s family has apologized and made some corrections to his Bible. I don’t use it anymore.

The seventh trumpet is one item that moves people to the post tribulation Rapture. The trumpet that God uses to call us into the clouds is not part of the seven trumpets. I went to Jerusalem to the museum that holds all the artifacts for the Third Temple and they showed the two silver trumpets that the Bible refers to. The ram that was in the bushes when Abraham was asked to sacrifice his son, was symbolizing the fact that God had His sacrifice all ready to go. As we know Abraham was spared from having to sacrifice his son.That ram’s horns represent the two trumpets.

The last trumpet refers to the last call to the wedding. The Rapture represents the call for the Bride of Christ to come up. The Shofar will be what we will hear in the spirit when the time comes with a special sound that is used in the Jewish tradition at their weddings. Most believers believe the feast of Rosh Hashanah represents the wedding. The date changes every year.  That is why Jesus said that we will not know the day or the hour.

We received a prophecy recently that puts it at the Feast of Passover which is when Jesus ascended to Heaven. Its observance is related to the Exodus of Hebrew slaves from Egypt in the Old Testament. Passover commemorates the deliverance from sin by the sacrifice of Jesus, the fulfillment of the prophetic Old Testament Passover and of course the beginning of resurrections.

The Lord’s Day represents the 7 year Tribulation and the 1000 year Millennium and Christ’s Day represents the Rapture. The two events happen simultaneously. They are outside of each other. The Bible states that the Bible will be gone, so will the Bride be gone during the Tribulation.

The timing of the two witnesses is very specific in the Bible. They appear at the beginning of the Tribulation and are killed by the Antichrist when he takes to throne in the Third Temple and declares himself ‘god’. That is 3.5 yrs into the Tribulation. They lay dead in the street for three days and God resurrects them and creates a Rapture for those two.

In my understanding of the events during the Tribulation, they can be lined up by the nature of the events. I come up with the 144000 right after the Antichrist is revealed in the middle. The true Jews are called back to Israel during the Tribulation.

The Manchild refers to Jesus Christ and His crucifixion when the 70 weeks are interrupted untill the time  when the Tribulation begins. That is hard to understand. God wants us to study it out and doesn’t make it easy.

Since Jesus Christ was the ‘First Fruits’ and was raptured, it is the beginning of Raptures. Obviously there are more then one Rapture and when the Gospel teaches in Revelation 20:5 “But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection,” since Jesus is the first Resurrection / Rapture, it can only mean that the period of Raptures / Resurrections ends at that point at the end of the Tribulation.

Looking at time from God’s point of view, a 1000 years for 1 day, complicates matters and one has to apply logic.

Post Tribulation is totally impossible because Jesus comes back with His saints

1 Thessalonians 3:13To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.”

Hope this helps. May the Holy Spirit continue to teach you from the Word itself and witness the truth to you since He wishes to be your teacher.

John 14:26 “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you”.

Thanks for the opportunity to share the Gospel which I love doing. May the Lord keep drawing you to Himself,

In Him,

Rita at Cephas Ministry
