Angels are Gifts From God. Not to be worshiped, not to be focused on. They are messengers from God, to his people. They provide protection, and comfort in the times of our lives that we need them. You never know..when you deny a stranger, it might be a angel of God in the form of a man. The Sins of Our Children. Many say that we are held accountable for the sins of our children. But is that so? The Bible teaches that we will be held accountable for every idle word that we speak. That we must seek out our own salvation, with fear and trembling. There is no verse in scripture that states that the unruliness of our children will be accounted to us as parents. Sin is a matter of choice and not hereditary. Its not something that is passed down from generation to generation. There is of course a curse that can be passed down to our children, that the scripture talks about. Specifically, when Jesus was being tried before the Jews and they called for His execution. Pilot warned them and they said let the curse be upon us and our children. I’ve noticed that some people try to blame their parents, for the condition of children , that end up on drugs, in jail or dead. They say ,if only the mom or dad, did this or that, then ma-by the child would have turned out different. Is this a true statement or is it an excuse for the lack of belief and trust in the lessons that the parents tried to teach? I believe that we should put the responsibility where it belongs, on the individual. The Bible states , Teach a child in the way of the Lord and the Word shall not depart from them. Does this mean that the lessons taught will save the child later in life? No, this is a misunderstanding of scripture. Again the salvation of each person is based upon their accepting Jesus as their Saviour. The word will not depart from them, but they still must make the commitment to Christ on their own. Then why does the Bible teach this? That there will be no excuse, when it comes the time for their judgment. The Bible does state, that if a man stand uprightly before God, then He will save his entire household. This is true, but, there goes a responsibility to God, on the part of each child to, endure until the end. Those that are saved are saved indeed, but those that endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. There is a controversy here in this statement, where some preach, once saved always saved, but in my studies I find, no where in scripture, where it ever contradicts, endure unto the end. We must tell our children the truth, they must hold on until death, their faith in Christ. Well show in scripture that the individual is held accountable for the word that they have been taught. There is a misconception going around in some teachings, it states that, everyone will be held accountable for everything in scripture. But this cant be, for we are only held accountable for what we have been taught. Lets get into the scripture and sort all this out. Matthew 27:25, “ Then answered all the people and said,”His blood be on us and our children.” Mark 13:12 “Now the brother shall betray the brother to death,and the father the son,and the children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.” Romans 9:11 For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of Him that calleth. In Matthew 27:25, The Jews brought a curse upon their children ,by their obstinance and hatred of Jesus. They condemned their children to banishment and captivity for generations to come. We can also bring curses upon our children by the same actions and also inactions. By not believing upon the name of Jesus, or by swearing an oath to God out of spite. For the Bible states, Its better not to make an oath, than to make one and break it. Here in this verse we can see that the parents wernt held accountable for the sins of their children but just the opposite, the children had to bear the sins of the parents, hard to believe but its true. Most of what we see in scripture has to do with prophecy, where the worst enemies that we will have will be of our own family. Children are born without sin, many believe the exact opposite, but the Bible is clear on this. Look at Romans 9:11 ,closely and you will see that Baby’s are born, haveing done, neither Good or evil, so children have an equal chance in life to make up their own mind to do good or to choose evil ,as a way of life. We raise up a child in the word and it shall not depart from them, but they will still be given a choice. So as you see ,we are not held accountable for the sins of our children. ars Condemming Sin in the Flesh,The Other Side Of Jesus. There has been a lot of controversy over what a Christian is supposed to do to convey the teachings of Jesus to the lost and unruelly in the world. We have been told here lately that we must be more tolerant and kind and submissive to other points of view. We are told and condemned ourselves over specific issues that have affected the Nation, region, local people and the Church as a whole. We have been subjected to anti-Christian points of view, where the world is now calling good evil and evil good. Do we as Christians judge others, No. We condemn sin in the flesh as scripture instructed us to. If we as Christians and ministers of the word don’t live up to the expectations of God to deliver the truth to a lost and dieing world, who then will? The opposition to the truth speaks of My Lord, Jesus only as the Christ of Love and understanding, but they ignore the other side of The Son of God. Jesus, the Ruler, Conquior, Debater, The Angel of Truth, Fighter of Unrighteousness, and the Rebuker of Sin and corruption. They ignore Jesus the Warier and punisher of evil, the destroyer of the anti Christ, false prophet and beast. Jesus came to this world as a Lamb, the next time He will not come submissive or tame, He will not come as a Baby in swaddling clothing, He will not come in a manger, He will not come in piece, but He will come as the Avenging Angel of Revelations. With Power and Great Glory. The Glory that He had prior to Bethlehem. With Power and Great Glory, a warier of renound, a warier of Righteousness, a warier, with the backing of the Father and Power of the Holy Ghost. Will there be faith on the earth when He returns? A question that we all should ask ourselves. Will there be men and women of integrity and morals on this planet of sin? Mel Gibson produced a film of extraordinary quality of the murder of Jesus; maybe He should also make a film based on the return of our savior at Armageddon. True, Jesus died for our sins, but we as Christians, no longer serve a, suffering, dieing Messiah (Hebrew), we serve the risen, Lord of Lords, King of Kings, The reigning King Jesus, alive and well, sitting on the right hand of Power. We serve the one, whose vesture is dipped in blood, riding a white stallion, weal-ding the sword of the Lord God Almighty. Who shall return with our Lord at the time of His Victory, will it be of those that stood the greatest test of faith in this life, will it be those of great courage in times of adversity? The Bible doesn’t state, but I pray that some of us today, in this time, in this era of global change, are found worthy to ride with Him, whose coming will mark, the end of sin and corruption. The survival of mans soul is at stake, the future of our loved ones and enemies is at a turning point. The spirit of anti-Christ is abounding every where, nation to nation, in our schools, government, politics, neighborhoods, there’s no where you can go without hearing anti Christian, anti Jewish comments. Can this world last much longer, have we become so lax in our studies that we can discern the signs of the seasons but miss the signs of the times? Romans 8; 16, should give us all a reason and a passion to fulfill the commission that Jesus left to us. “ The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.” We are not hear on this earth to make a name for ourselves, but we are hear to make the name of Jesus, stand out to the world and herald a new age to come, where all sin and unrighteousness, will be defeated forever. “ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” Rom.8; 14. So let us all rejoice in the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, Father, we are who we are by the grace of God. Hold on Children, for our redeemer still liveth and shall return to deliver us from the destruction to come. Glory be to God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit forever. Amen. References Romans 8:1-22, Revelations, the battle of Armageddon. ars. Concerning Hell. As the scriptures say a lot about Heaven, it also says about the same about Hell. Its existence, that most people want to ignore. To give people an alternative to everlasting piece, God introduced a place of torment into their decision. Hell in the beginning was created not for man, but for satan and his fallen angels. Man was created to live eternally with God on this planet. I know that you’ve all heard the stories, that came out of russia, about the scientist drilling down into the depths of the earth, dropping sound devices into the holes and hearing screams and the sounds of people ,at incredible depths. True ? ,I don’t know, but it makes for a good discussion around the dinner table. What I know is true thou, is Gods account of a place that is hotter than a great blast furnace.Lets take a look at Luke12:4-5 , Jesus by His own words confirmed the existence of Hell, “But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear; fear Him, which He hath killed hath power to cast into Hell,....” Remember now the Gospel is for those who will believe, atheist will say there is no hell or heaven, and until God deals with them in a manner of His own choosing. They will remain un-believers, but one act of violence or near death experience for them ,will turn the most stern atheist into an agnostic. Even in the book of Psalms, the sorrows of Hell are apparent, 18:8, 16:10, 55:15, Psalms 27:20, gives us a unique look at the condition of hell and its size, lets read, “Hell and destruction are never full, so the eyes of man are never satisfied.” David knew about the existence of hell, and his information came from the Holy Spirit. How many times, does the Bible have to say that something exists, before its considered to be true? One. I believe that one of the most remembered verses in scripture about hells existence ,is found in Isaiah, 14: 12-15. “How art thou fallen from Heaven, O Lucifer, son of the Morning......yet thou shall be brought down to Hell, to the sides of the pit.” These verses not only prove the existence but condition and layout of Hell. A pit is a , grave or a vault, this grave that the writer talks about, has length, width, breath, depth and sides. An inescapable, vault or prison for the unrighteous and un-repenting of mankind and the whord of fallen angels of Satan. Some consider Hell as a place without light, with heat greater than a modern blast furnace, because the scriptures state that the sinner “will be cast into outer darkness, there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. “ This is just a taste of the scripture concerning Hell, enough to allow those that are lost to start thinking about their future.In the Book of Jude, the scripture tells us that,” On some haveing compassion makeing a difference and on others using fear, hateing even the garment, spotted by the flesh.” Convinsing some of the existance of Hell, is an important way of turning them around and directing them to Jesus. “Even thou, I make my bed in Hell, the Lord is with me, and I pray that God will always be with you. js, ars Effective Prayer. "Our Most Gracious Heavenly Father. I come to you in the Name of your Son Jesus, asking, praying and giving thanks, for all the Blessings that you have bestowed upon me and my family. You are the Lord God almighty, the God of Abraham, The God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob and thou art my God." This is the beginning of my prayers to God, who, know,sees and understands all our needs before we even ask. What makes a prayer and effective prayer? An effective prayer is not a prayer at all, really, but a communication, one on one, with God. A unifying of Spirits, thru Jesus Christ our mediator. The Bible tells us that we are to come unto the throne room boldly and submit our petitions to God. We must praise God for His excellent Greatness, Power, Majesty and for His Glory, this is not much to ask, for all that our Lord has done for His Children. Hebrews 4:14-16; Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. (If we Confess, Jesus, our, Profession, of Jesus will be valid.) For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities;(Jesus considers all who believe because He experienced all that we do.) but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. " Our most common prayers to God consist of our deepest concerns for the health and well being of our Friends, Loved One, Family, and our Enemies. This is our every day trial of faith that comes when we see others suffer. This however is different from a close encounter with the Lord for those things that Jesus called Petitions. In a general sense, a Petition is, a request, supplication or prayer; but chiefly and appropriately, a solemn or formal supplication. This is deeper than a prayer, that most of us, without us realizing, are common repetitive prayers. There is nothing wrong with this, God knows us by our level of Faith, but Jesus told us that the Father already knows our needs before we even ask. Hence the Lords Prayer. A humble petitioner; one who entreats submissively. Entreating; beseeching; supplicating; asking earnestly and submissively. A prayer addressed by a person to the Supreme Being, for something needed or desired, or a branch or particular article of prayer. An Effective Prayer comes from the Heart, is Spontaneous and is directly, from praying in the Holy Ghost, toward the Father. Effective Prayers are those when we spend time with the Father, discussing all that we see, hear and feel. God is a God of thoughts and feelings. he wants to talk to you and not just listen. He wants a real relationship, a loving relationship with His Children. We must spend time with Him, Getting to know Him, as He gets closer to us. Even doctors today tell us that a child grows best when, there is an interaction between them, and the parent, is God any different than a loving human parent? When your prayers go beyond just speaking at God and become prayers to God, then your prayers become a relationship, with God. Wesley states of Hebrews 4:16 - Let us therefore come boldly - Without any doubt or fear. Unto the throne of God, our reconciled Father, even his throne of grace - Grace erected it, and reigns there, and dispenses all blessings in a way of mere, unmerited favor. Eph 3:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: Eph 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. We have access to God, without going thru man, nor Angel, for Christ Gave us of His Spirit, that we may enter into the Presence of God by the Name of Jesus. There is no need for any mediator than Jesus. Another man cannot be a mediator for you, this is beyond his power and access. When we understand our rights and privileges, that we possess, then our prayers and our very lives can be changed, so long as it is in the will of God. This is stated in 1John 5:14, "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:" Many times our prayers fall short, because they are not in Gods will for that person, place nor situation. If prophecy is dependant upon something happening, God will not answer a prayer that would change the prophecy. 1John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 1Jo 5:15 And if we know that he hear us,(Are you confident enough that God actually hears your prayers, if so then you are in direct contact with Him. I always ask God to forgive me of any sin that I may have committed, so that my heart is clear, before interring into His presence.) whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the Petitions that we desired of him. Psa 20:5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfill all thy Petitions. Pro 15:28-29; The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things. The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. An effective prayer is not a mondain nor repetitive prayer, for Jesus was dissatisfied with the Pharisees repetitive prayers. Thus He taught us of praying with the Heart and with Power. Our prayers must address the fact, that, when we mention the Name of Jesus, we are then in Direct presence with God. We are no longer a servant but a Child of God. Jesus, as we became a believer, became not Just Lord and Christ to us, but also a Friend. Therefore God will deal with us not as a stranger but as a King & Priest. James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. This is a passionate request and conversation with the Father. What is needed is a conversation with God without asking for anything. Seeking His will for us, seeking His wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding and Feelings for us. Take time just to talk with God. You'll feel the difference each time you pray. ars.

Being A Light in A Dark World. Every time I set down to write I always ask God what He wants me to say, for in me is nothing important. My Sermons come from the Inspiration of God. I hear on a daily basis, of many Christians in need, from the poor to the rich. People seeking aid, answers and reasons for their dilemma. I am writing a young lady with an extreme problem, I write Churches that sometimes, but most often, need revival within itself. As for the poor, Jesus said that we would always have the poor with us. There is nothing that we can do, to really help them. The shear magnitude of the problem prevents us from making a difference. Most times there are government officials that steal the aid before it arrives to those in need. When it does arrive, Warring factions most often steal it away from those that need it and say that, "We are going to Liberate you, so we need the food more than you." Buying food for a day or two doesn't help them, even for a year is little to alleviate the persistent problem. We still must continue to aid where and when we can, but we must not feed them only, but address the problems. Most of the problems around the world are controlled by one factor, mans refusal to accept Jesus as Lord and Christ. God stated that famine will encompass this world and it is coming to pass. There are so many that have been deceived and diluted into believing that there are gods many and lords many, afraid to ask questions for fear of their life, they go as a sheep to the slaughter, their head down and their throat exposed. This darkness grows by the minute and the Spirit of Anti-Christ also grows. If we cant see that the end is growing closer, then we, as the "Light of the World", are also in darkness. Have you ever tried to look into a mirror, then close your eyes for a minute, and try to remember what you looked like? Its the same way it is with being a light, sometimes we forget what we are all about, our light gets a little softer, not as bright. We cannot fear the darkness but we must illuminate it. When light and dark comes together, it turns gray, a little less notable, a little less recognizable and a little less helpful. Every country around the world is in the same condition and it gets worse by the minuet. When we go to bed at night some one in their daytime is being killed, starving to death, raped, murdered, sacrificed and recruited into the depth of utter darkness as a suicide bomber. The Apostle Paul stated that, Within Himself there was no good thing. Understanding our relationship with God is of the utmost importance along with the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of His word. I have made mistakes in my Ministry, and I am the first to admit it. We are not perfect and neither can we be, until the time of Rejoicing with Jesus takes place. Even the Apostle Paul stated that He had not attained perfection but was still striving for it. But even with our faults, we must still be a light. A light in a dark world that is traveling down the road to death and destruction. In Matthew 4:16, we see the effects of being a light in a dark world; " The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up." many are on the streets seeking after a good feeling and answers as to their purpose in life. Many have given up on trying to be a citizen of any country and only live for the day, hoping to get a bit of food from somewhere. Multitudes are blinded to the light by problems and situations that they have found themselves in. Others have been taught as a Child to not expect any thing good in this life. In Luke 1:79, we see a reason to give light in a dark world. " To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace." To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, the darkness of sin and the shadow of eternal death without hope nor escape. A Darkness without the Father. We have read before;" Ye, thou I walk thru the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil;" The valley spoken of here is the outside world that we step into each and every day. We must be a light, if not, we may have the blood of those that we could have shown the way, on our hands. There is no super Christian, at least I haven't seen one. We are all the light, shining together as one to open up the darkness and show the way of peace, peace not in this life but rather into the next. Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. If therefore thine eye be single, meaning that ones purpose in life must be to please the Father in Spirit, without any other agenda. We are sent into the world to fulfill the will of our Father. Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men (Your Testimony of Jesus.), that they may see your good works (These are the works and actions of not only of the Spirit but also of the flesh.), and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Seeking only to Glorify God and not of ourselves.) Luke 11:35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. ( Let not your light be one of self glorification. Keeping your mission always to gain souls for Gods kingdom and not trying to set up your own.) John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. The darkness in this world is choking multitudes, killing them from within. The light that we shine is not accepted to many that prefer the darkness and many do not understand the willingness of a Loving God to Save them. Jesus warned us that there will come a time when the darkness of this world will be so great, that no man will be able to work. Is that time now, or is it near. Let us always be a light, because our work shall soon be over and the night will fall. Is it so hard Being A Light in a Dark World. ars Babylon the Great. A Response. Dear Brother Olga; prophecy isn't one single incident but a series of events. Lets look at your response. Babylon the Great. " Anyhow, Babylon the Great is all religions opposed to Gods Kingdom, even those claiming to be Christian, but have no truth (see Matthew 7:21-23). (This is true but still its only one event that takes place.) I'm talking from literal Babylon, the center of all pagan teachings, and forward. (The first Babylon was destroyed but it was only the first of two.) Look at all the bloodshed, in the name of religion, or God. Allah, Christ, Buddha, all have had tons of violence in the name of their god. (The Violence spoken of and being historical Fact, was produced by man and not the will of God. If you noticed in the Books of Kings and others. The Children of Israel were instructed by God, Who, When and Where to fight. When they obeyed they won, when they disobeyed they lost.) (I have not found in Scripture where God ever instructed the Gentile race of people to fight, especially after the introduction of Jesus as the Christ.) That is the one God has in the vine press, his anger has already blazed against them, and they have fallen. Fallen from where? From his Grace, or Goodness. He has rejected them and their whole originations. Now will come their destruction. Revelation says he will put it in their hearts to carry out his will. Whose hearts? The Wild Beast of Revelation, which was, then was not, and is again. Who is this? The United Nations. It was, after WWI, as the league of nations, but when WWII broke out it was disbanded, then after WWII it was again, more powerful then it was before, this time as the United Nations. So it will be that God will put his thought, which is to destroy the harlot, Babylon the Great, into the hearts of the United Nations. Ooh, that makes a lot of since, huh?(This statement is true but again its only a part of the overall entries into the prophecy's. The United Nations has fallen into ruin and is lose its respect and power. They now have no more power over the governmental regulations than any one else does.) Yes, there are, 'those having insight', as prophesied by Daniel. (Daniel 11:33)(In Hebrew when a word or name of something appears twice it denotes that the event will take place twice. It can not be the literal Babylon on the Euphrates, for the whole representation here is of something future, and the literal Babylon had long since disappeared, never, according to the prophecies, to be rebuilt. In Isa. 13:20 thru 22, we see that this prophecy applies to the first destruction of Babylon in Iraq, which may I add has never been reoccupied as of today.) Here is one of the prophecy's that we must look at in Revelations, Rev 14:8-11, And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Very soon now we will see it. There can be only one truth; the truth will unite people, so there will be no divisions; also, its people will be in the same line of thought. (see 1 Corinthians 1:10) (Again this statement is true, but again the unity of thoughts will be only in those that have or should I say, when they make their allegiance to the will of the anti-Christ. Not every one will be under his control, because the Bible clearly states that many will give their life for the Truth of The Gospel of Jesus. Israel will run from him at the end of the first 3,5 years. This is Biblical Fact.)(There are three Battles that will take place in the end of days. 1. Gog and Magog. 2. Armageddon and 3. The Last Battle of Gog and Magog, when Christ destroys the Armies of Satan and cast him into the Lake of Fire, where the Beast and the False prophet are.)Mankind will not, I repeat will not join together in unity to make a peaceful world. This world is going to rock and shake as a drunkard, it will be on fire. This is Gospel and Truth. ) Praise our God and Father, and his Only Son, Christ Jesus. May you be able to see the truth too, and be led to his one organization teaching his truths and setting people free from the bondage of sin and death. Yes, there is a spiritual paradise now, but a physical one is to come, where there will be a paradise earth, which I hope to live on, and I will be ruled over by Christ and his anointed brothers. Then after the 1000 year reign, Christ will hand the kingdom back over to God, so that HE, God (YAHWEH not Christ), will be all things to all people. (see 1 Corinthians 15:20-28) (Again this is true, but, God stated that Christ will be King over Jerusalem forever and sit on the Throne of David.) (In Psalms, 2:6, we see the Lord God declare His King to Rule this world. "Yet have I set my king(Jesus) upon my holy hill of Zion.") Take care. Olga Olga k (olgak@teacher.com) Stockton, Ca USA - 03/11/06 at 23:25:21 (EST) I appreciate your comments on our messages and invite you to our site to look deeper into prophecy. Rev.A.R.Smith Shout To The Lord. Remember the song,"Shout to the Lord?" Shout to the Lord all ye Earth, Let us sing. Power and Majesty, Praise to the King. Mountains Bow Down and the Seas shall roar, at the Sound of your Name. This is one of the most Beautiful songs that I know, that praises God, but it still doesn't compare to the Glory that is God. God is God. We must all shout to the Lord for His Excellent Greatness, His Wisdom, knowledge and Strength. The Mountains shall bow down to Him, and the Seas shall roar, for the Lord God is an awesome God. His shadow covers the Valley and the Earth Quakes at His presents, The endlessness of Space opens up to Him and separates for His passage. Gods Power and Love is legendary. None other can reach up to His heights, nor reach down to the depths that our God can. We cannot see God, but we can see His works. We cannot see God but we can see His majesty and will in our Lives. We serve a God that doesn't call for the blood of the innocent nor those that refuse to believe, He waits upon man because of His Son. He is all knowing and all caring. When was the last time that you entered a Church without any other agenda except praising the Lord? When was the last time that you've told anyone that as for you and your house, you would serve the Lord? This world is headed into the darkness of unbelief and fear. Fear not of the Lord but of Death. The Death of a Loved One, the Death of their Income, and the Death of fearing False Religions. The Bible tells us that in the end days, Mens Hearts will fail them because of Fear. What is it that you Fear? In Psalms, 2:6, we see the Lord God declare His King to Rule this world. "Yet have I set my king(Jesus) upon my holy hill of Zion." There is only one God, The God of Abraham, The God of Isaac and The God of Jacob, The God of our fathers and The God of Creation. So therefore if The Lord God be for you, what is there to fear. Psalms 2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Psalms 2:7 is not stating that Jesus was adopted nor created, but it is stating that God declared that Jesus(Emmanuel) is and shall always be His Son. Psalms 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. Shout to the Lord, He will Hear you. God inhabits Praise. Your praise and worship causes Him to be near to you, to inhabit your praise of Him. He delights in the company of His Children. His arms open wide to receive each and every one that will call out His name, in Reverence and Joy. I've read many an article that call man, no higher than the animals that they tend, I have read article after article that call man, no better than the trees that they cut down and cast into the fire. I've even read article after article, that say that God is Dead and the world can only be saved by changing attitudes to all peoples, places and religions. Mankind was created in the image of the Lord and being so, we are much higher that the other creations that were created. Who do you think God is, a fantasy, a myth, a legion or is He real to you? If He is real then, Shout to the Lord, all ye earth, let us sing. Sing of His Majesty, Greatness, Knowledge, Wisdom, Power and Love. Who else can Heal, Create, Listen to Prayers and also is able to deliver upon you request? There are none in this world that can even see or Speak. So Shout to the Lord. ars Comets, UFOs and The Bible.pt 1. The belief of UFOs. and little green men from Mars has grown, ever increasingly, from the early sixties. The imagery of exterrestrial beings have also been found in writings and paintings from the earliest of times. The Bible explains all these events, if you look close enough. Scientist say that, the building blocks of life on earth came from comets impacting the planet, bringing life in its various forms. They say that these events begat the evolution of all species and life forms on this earth. Has mans wisdom and knowledge of the universe came to this type of error in their thinking? I would have to say yes. God tells us that man shall turn away from the truth and follow after science, so called. Science is good in its place but when man trys to use science to explain away the truth of the Bible, then mans wisdom becomes useless and void of reasoning. The makeup of comets was designed by God and are within His control. I say this because of the scriptures stating, There was nothing made, that was not made by God. He has created all things visabel and invisabel. Comets and falling Stars are Biblical fact and not fiction. I have spoken of this fact about Scripture and questions that we have in this life, many times before. The Fact is, "There is an answer, for every question in the Bible." The falling stars that we see, are a reality, just as comets. These are natural events that do, and will take place, untill the end of times. There is the physical side and the spiritual side, here we must look into the spiritual. But for the spiritual side of this debate we must start with, Revelations 8:10; "And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star (Comet) from heaven, burning as it were a lamp (Burning here represents a description of the tail and head of the comet, which is seen evaporating; in reality; but its appearance by the naked eye; appears to be on fire.)(Burning with Great Fire as a Comet. This is the part of this verse that signifies that the star mentioned is a Comet. Directed by God, to impact the Earth.)(The other part of the great fire, is a representation of the carbon elements located within the comet that are burning as it inters into the earths atmosphere.), and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters (Here we see that when the comet impacts the earths atmosphere, it will break up and the fragments will fall upon one third of all rivers and streams. This is reality and extremely credible) Rev 8:11 And the name of the star (The comet) is called Wormwood(Named after the Plant): and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died (Because of poisoning) of the waters, because they were made bitter.(Toxic) (The comet, also proven by Scientist, are made up of different elements, this is the reason God will use special elements, derived from the wormwood plant, to incorporate into this comet and destroy many that will drink the water. The compound alpha-thujone, found in wormwood, formerly gave absinthe liqueur its toxicity. Because of its bitter taste the common wormwood has long symbolized human rancor and is often so represented in the Bible. Absinthe, an emerald-green distilled from and other aromatics, including angelica root, sweet-flag root, star anise, and dittany. This combination was and still is very toxic.) Here in Revelations 9:1, we see the comet representing an angel from Heaven. And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star (Angel) fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. Mat 24:29-30; Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars (Comets,Asteroids) shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. We see things in the natural and in the spiritual. But not all men can nor will, look at the spiritual side of creation. The evolution theory coming from comets, is about as bad as the theory of evolution from Darwin. The end of signs from Heaven, to prove Gods existance, stoped with the declaration from Jesus; Mat 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. Mat 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah: Mat_16:1-4; Mar_8:11, Mar_8:12; Luk_11:16, Luk_11:29; Joh_2:18, Joh_4:48; 1Co_1:22 .a star: References; Rev.1:20, 8:10; Isa.14:12; Luke10:18; 2Thessalonians 2:3-8; 3:1-5. End Part 1. Part two will discuss aliens and UFOs. ars. Comets, UFOs and The Bible.pt 2. In part 2 we will look at UFOs and their place in the Bible. Scientist and the military establishment, have been doing secret research on flying saucers since before WWII. Many of the things that people have been seeing are just that, experiments and nothing else. Those that say they have been abducted by aliens are being mislead by their minds and spirits. remember that satan can appear as an angel of light. If we believe the Gospel and the words of God in Genesis, then we cannot believe the reports of any alien beings, for this is contrary to the Teachings of the Bible itself. Here is the verse that proves this; Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. We as Christians cannot believe in beings that were created that have not been created in the image of God. So where does this all leave us? It leaves us with the words of Jesus of the end days; Mat 24:22-25; And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. (References; Isa.44:7, Isa.44:8, 46:10,46:11, 48:5, 48:6; Luke 21:13; John 16:1) So if you've noticed in all the programs aired on television of UFOs, Religions, ect., you must have noticed that commentary of these programs are trying to remove mans belief in One God and the Truth of The Bible. The Bible is true, and Christianity is not a cult but a lifestyle that we as believers have chosen to live. Lets take a look at Ezekiel's wheel. What is represented here is the manifest destiny of mankind and Gods will for mankind. Each wheel is a representation of the course that man will take upon the earth in his era. Not to state that this was the only instance of a vision or physical sighting of the Wheels. As mankind makes a change in his direction, for our time, getting closer to the end, the wheels change rotation and direction. There are many interpretations of this wheel(s), after we read a little, I will show you a few others. Eze 1:16-24; The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the color of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the color of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above. And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies. And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of a host: when they stood, they let down their wings. Wesley states of the wheels; "Providence orders, changes: sometimes one spoke of the wheel is uppermost, sometimes another. But the motion of the wheel on its own axle - tree, is still regular and steady. And the wheel is said to be by the living creatures, who attend to direct its motion. For all inferior creatures are, and move, and act, as the Creator, by the ministration of angels directs and influences them: visible effects are managed and governed by invisible causes." Barnes states; "Their “work” or make, i. e. their construction, was “a wheel in the middle of a wheel;” the wheel was composed of two circumferences set at right angles to each other, like the equator and meridian upon a globe. A wheel so placed and constructed did its part alike on each side of the living creature beneath which it stood. "The wheel is simply by itself having a projecting axis; so of these it is said, “their appearance and their work was, as it were, a wheel within a wheel.” and finally Clark states; "There were either two peripheries or rims with their spokes, or the nave answered for the wheel within. I have examined models of what are called Ezekiel’s wheels, which are designed to move equally in all directions: but I plainly saw that this was impossible; nor can any kind of complex wheel move in this way." So as you can see, we are not off very much in interpretation. The wheels are controlled, not by motors nor engins, but by the spirits of the Liveing Creatures within the wheel(Mind and Spirit Controll) We are seeing the spiritual and physical manifestation of mans destiny and Gods will. Is it really so surprising that many see wonders in the heavens? God stated that there would be, but as for little green men from Mars, its a little far fetched and against Scripture. There is no other life out there except the Spiritual. With as much trouble as man has caused God, do you believe that He created man else where in Space? I don think so. Jesus died once for all mans sins and will not do it again. Lets get away from fantasy and get back to the truth. (References.)Gen 1:26 - 27 in the image: Psa.139:14; Isa.43:7; Eph.2:10, 4:24; Col.1:15 male: Gen.2:21-25, 5:2; Mal.2:15; Mat.19:4; Mar.10:6; 1Co.11:8, 1Co.11:9   Wisdom, Knowledge, and Understanding. The title of this message is quite unusual. Many will think that they have all three given to them, when they became Christians, but this is farther from the Truth. Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding are gained and earned over time from the young Christian to the oldest. The basic law of, earn then receive, applys thru-out your walk as a Christian. In the next few minutes I will prove this and also help you to obtain the level of all three that you desire. Lets look at the Scriptures. Luke 7:35 But wisdom is justified of all her children. (Matthew, 11:19.) (Clark; True wisdom shows itself by its works; folly is never found in the wise man’s way, any more than wisdom is in the path of a fool.) We must not think as the world thinks, for being able to read is not a prerequisite for gaining wisdom, knowledge nor understanding. Don't misunderstand, education in the three R's is important to live in this world, but not for living in the next. For God said, The wisdom of man, is Foolishness to Him. We must think in the spirit and not in the flesh. 1Co 1:20 Where is the wise?(Those that have the wisdom of God.) where is the scribe? (Those that will record this worlds actions.) where is the disputer of this world? (Those that say the wisdom of Gods creation is under question.) hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (Look into yourself for the answer.) Eph 1:17 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: In Eph 1:17; we can see two different things, the Word,"Give" and the words,"Spirit of Wisdom." We see here that wisdom is given by Jesus Christ and is delivered by the Spirit of Wisdom, which is another name for the Holy Ghost. The same applys to the spirit of Revelation, in the same phrase. Revelations come from the Holy Ghost. Revelations are different from wisdom, but also inter-connected. Here is an example of understanding; "A sleepy brown dog, walked down a shady green lane." In itself we see very little in the form of usefulness, (This is the same result when an unbeliever reads the scripture, for it takes the spirit of God within man to understand it. For the scripture is "Spiritually Discerned.") but wisdom should tell us to seek the understanding and a Revelation of what the phrase means. To do this we look at the phrase closer and pick out the key words and definitions of all the words. (I.E. Seek and ye shall find.) In the preceding example there are 8 key words and two questions. Can you find them? We do this also to understand and gain wisdom of The Bible. A Revelation (To be reveled.) is given when wisdom is understood. Here in Revelations 13:18, we see that it takes wisdom to know when to use understanding. Here wisdom is understood that, it takes a mind open to the Spirit to know when wisdom is not enough, when it comes to many of the passages in scripture. "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." Reading this we see clearly that, not all Believers have understanding, this is gained over time and is noted here, not age but submission to the spirit of God. Revelations 13:18, tells us two things, 1. Wisdom is used to revel that understanding is needed to unravel the mystery and 2. We see that only those that have understanding shall know the answer to the secret. As of today no man has understood the secret of this verse. ("for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.") There is no man that was, is nor will be born of woman that will have all wisdom, knowledge and understanding of Gods Word, we all are still learning. For if a man says that He is the hight of all, He then becomes a dangerous man, not only to others trying to learn, but also to himself, for this closes himself off from the Teachings of the Holy Ghost. Lets look at James 1:5. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. Here we see that wisdom comes not from reading the Scriptures but by asking God for it. The reason for this is that not everyone that has and will read the Bible will be able to understand it neither will they gain the wisdom it takes to apply the prophecy's and scriptures, to their own agenda. Col. 4:5. Walk in wisdom(That is, conduct uprightly and honestly. Deal with man on the strictest principles of integrity, so that they may not have occasion to reproach the religion which you profess. Here we see a separation of the three. The wisdom that we receive from God must guide our responses to man and our actions as we walk among the un-believers. So that the Gospel, is not blamed for our own inconsistencies.) toward them that are without ( This is without the spirit of God and the Wisdom of His Glory.), redeeming the time.(Being patient and understanding the shortness of time.) In Col. 3:16, we see that the wisdom that we have received from God is to be shared among the other Believers. The Bible is not closed to all except for one man or group, but it is open to all, that we may teach each other what God has shared with us. "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." Col. 3:16, is being ignored by many mainstream religions today, clearly in contradiction of our instructions from Jesus. These men are handicapping others from understanding God and His word for themselves, robing them of a personal relationship with God. Col 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; "The full assurance of understanding." Once we accept the leadership of the Holy Ghost, that teaches us all things, we then have full assurance that, when we read and study, understanding will follow. The Best example of this is in, Acts 8:30-35. And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? (Showing that his understanding was lax because he did not have the spirit to guide him.) And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? (He was in need of a teacher.) And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:(this speaking of Jesus.) In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this ? of himself, or of some other man? (Here he begins to ask for understanding of what he read.) Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. Reading the Bible or any other Book, does not give you understanding but only knowledge about the contents. Eph 3:4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ. (This is speaking of, not the individuals knowledge but, the knowledge that others have and wish to share with them. In other words we see key phrases in this verse. 1. "when ye read" This is your responsibility. 2. "ye may understand my knowledge." To understand the knowledge of the teacher. 3. "in the mystery of Christ." This was the lesson here. Col 2:3 In whom are hid, (Only to those that are without the Spirit.) all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Eph 1:18 The eyes (Spiritual.) of your understanding being enlightened (Opened up.); that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, (To the Blessings of obedience.) To gain wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding, start praying in the Holy Ghost and Ask God and He will give to you the riches of His Kingdom. ars One World Order; The "Return of the Khalifate” An Opinion. Part 1. Could the Anti-Christ be a Jewish Muslim from Syria? Is this the reason that The Anti-Christ will fight against the first three nations? Lets look into this. Before we begin I want to let you read some news that isn't broadcast to the general public. Many times the things that we read are just propaganda and sometimes what we read is made a little flamboyant, to sell papers, and then again the things that we don't get to read are the things that are really devastating to us. Lets Read. Arutz Sheva News Service; MUSLIM PREACHER ON TEMPLE MOUNT: RESTORE WORLDWIDE ISLAMIC RULE By Hillel Fendel; Sheikh Ismail Nawahda, preaching to Moslem masses on the Temple Mountain Jerusalem on Friday, has brought it out into the open: the call to restore the Moslem Khalifate, or, "Genuine Islamic Rule." A plan for the "Return of the Khalifate" was published secretly in 2002 by a group called "The Guiding Helper Foundation." The group explained that it wished to "give direction to the educated Muslim populace in its increasing interest in the establishment of Islam as a practical system of rule."(I.E. Dictatorship.) This past Friday, Feb. 24, 2006, however, the plan went public. Sheikh Nawahda called publicly for the renewal of the Islamic Khalifate, which would "unite all the Moslems in the world against the infidels." (create a massive army against all who will not bow down to Mohamidism.) The Khalifate system features a leader, known as a Khalif, who heads worldwide Islam. Assisted by a ten-man council (Sometimes referred to as 10 Kings.), his decisions are totally binding on all Moslems. According to the Foundation's vision of the Khalifate, significant punishment can only be meted out for 14 crimes, including "accusing a chaste person of fornication," "not performing the formal prayer," and "not fasting during Ramadan."( This could possibly be a prelude to the mark of the beast (666), knowing who and whom isn't a follower of the Khalifate.) The Foundation recommends working to restore the Moslem dictatorship using a system of small groups around the world. (These pockets of followers are many times called ”Cells.”) The purpose is so that the "enemies of Islam" who "will definitely try to stop us" will have a "much harder task, if not impossible, if they are faced with a myriad of small groups of differing locations, ethnicities," etc. ( A world wide Moslem dictatorship isn't that far fetched an Idea, considering the vast number of their followers, located, may I add, all around the Globe.) This method also "ensures that if one group is found and cut off, other similar groups will remain undetected." Sheikh Nawahda reminded his Temple Mount audience that the first step taken by Muhammad in stabilizing his rule was to form the nucleus of the first Islamic country in the city of Medina (Medina is a city located North of Mecca and north east of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.). Nawahda also said that the status of Moslems around the world has dropped drastically ever since the collapse of the last Khalifate in 1924, after Turkey became a democratic republic. (This was the beginning of a divided Muslim State. Now we have many divisions of Muslims and civil war between all factions, noting that they are all of the same religion.) Nawahda called upon the Arabs of the Palestinian Authority to rise above their personal and party interests, and said that Moslems must return to Islam and join forces in the struggle against the West. (To have one single man in charge of all Muslims around the world, would be a great disturbance to all Christians and the Gentile Race of people.) He praised the worldwide protests against the anti-Mohammed cartoons, and encouraged the Moslem public to continue such activities. He implied that those who insulted Mohammed are liable for death. The Sheikh designated the Moslem masses as a strong point that can be utilized in the fight against the West. ( This type of rhetoric is a start in the direction of united muslim Force.) In The Book of Revelations and especially in Daniel, we see an upcoming ruler that will take three Kingdoms by force and the other seven by capitulation. Isn't this the way of the Khalifate? Dan 7:23-27. Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: ( The times and laws, could be what the Muslim Khalifate will desire to do.) and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. end part 1. In Part 2 we will dig into the Scripture to find some answers. ars Dan_7:20; Rev_12:3, Rev_13:1, Rev_17:3, Rev_17:12, Rev_17:13, Rev_17:16-18.

To control the News is to control the worlds knowledge. In order to understand what this all means to us we must look into the past to see the future. In Daniel 7:25 we see that the Anti-Christ will attempt to forgive sins and trespasses, in His name.(For He shall declare that He is God.) Which being contrary to reason and to scripture. For a dictatorial rule to become effective, all subjects must be kept in submission by, 1. Power, I.E. Force.(Military and Secret Police.) and 2. Mind set, I.E. Mind control. (Propaganda.) “And he shall speak great words (A great Orator.) against the most High (”the most High” is representitave of two Individuals, 1. God and 2. Jesus The Christ.), and shall wear out the saints of the most High (Placing burdens upon them.), and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.”(7 years). The Laws that we see here are the laws of the norman or natural, instances of Religion and of the Land itself. We will see natural Laws changed to suite His needs, such as the Laws of the Mohamidism Creed. According to the Foundation's vision of the Khalifate, significant punishment can only be meted out for 14 crimes, including "accusing a chaste person of fornication," "not performing the formal prayer," and "not fasting during Ramadan."( This could possibly be a prelude to the mark of the beast (666), knowing who and whom isn't a follower of the Khalifate.) T.S.K. In assuming infallibility, professing to forgive sins, and to open and shut heaven, thundering out bulls and anathemas, excommunicating princes, absolving subjects from their allegiance, and exacting obedience to his decrees in open violation of reason and Scripture. To gain total control he must change the Laws of Man and Religion. Just as spoken of in Daniel. When you want to control mass numbers of people you must, 1. Control Money.(World Banking System. The World Bank provides support to developing countries, the IMF aims to stabilize the international monetary system and monitors the world’s currencies.) 2. Commerse.(Control of World Ports, Babylon The Great. The Dubai company purchasing the rights to operate several U.S. ports has agreed to postpone some aspects of the takeover in order to give the Bush administration more time to convince Congress of the deals merits. Some lawmakers say this is a step in the right direction; others are not mollified. If the East Coast of America is Babylon the Great, this action by The Dubai company, an Arab State, then Revelations would be easily fulfilled. Revelations 18:9-11; 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: ( This is the total destruction of The city's sea ports.) For any sea port to come in line with the prophecy of Babylon, it must be a supplier of all things mentioned in Revelations. I have found only one that fits this description. The Eastern coast line of the United States. Jeremiah 51:8-9 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed. We would have healed Babylon ( Money isn't enough to re pare the utter destruction.), but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven( This must be a judgment from God.), and is lifted up even to the skies.(The destruction is so massive that there would be no need for these buyers and sellers to remain.) Isaiah 21:9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen.(World Leaders, some minor and two major leaders.) And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods (Financial Institutions, Stock Markets, Govermential Facility's, The Gold Reserve Bank, Livestock Auctions, The Scientific Community and Museums. Ect.) he hath broken unto the ground. 3. Food, (Conglomerations of Farming Institutions and Produce Suppliers.) and the most important 4. Religion. (The One World Religion. In My opinion this could be one of these two. 1.Catholicism. 2. Mohamidism.(Islam.) A North American DJ/radio show host was warned by his boss - 'No more anti-terror talk, no more pro-Israel talk'. Has America lost it's right to free speech? In Part 3 we will look at the differences between; 1.Catholicism. 2.

One World Order; The "Return of the Khalifate” An Opinion. Part 3. One World Order; The "Return of the Khalifate” An Opinion. Part 3. Catholicism & Mohammedanism.(Islam.) In our look at a one world order, I wanted to take the time and do a little comparison between two religious factions. These two are completely different from one another. Remember this study is intended to get all to start thinking about world affairs and the beginning of the end. This is just one interpretation. 1. Catholicism; We see in scripture the seven Hills on which the Great Whore sits. Revelations 17:9; "And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth." This is a reasonable assumption, that the hills spoken of, are the seven hills surrounding Rome. But what we must also look at is the anti-Christ is not only a man of peace, but also a man of war. The Vatican does not have an army nor have they had one sense the Crusades. Catholicism as a whole is not a totalitarianism entity. In other words, The Catholic Church has been loosing respect and members for some time now. The Christian community as a whole has 2.1 Billion believers, but only a part of these are Catholics. The Catholic Church has alienated itself from the remainder of the Christian Church by its practices of calling The Pope Holy Father and not allowing personal involvement in Biblical interpretation. The Bible expressly prohibits both of these practices. Unlike the Religion of Islam, Catholics can renounce this religion and go on, with the religion of Islam, there is no way out, or should I say no way out safely. The Vatican is not as powerful as it used to be in the 18th century, because of the massacre of the Protestants in Europe. The Papal control of world religion is steadily on the down Cline. Thou there are many scriptures pointing to the Papal authority as being the figure of anti-Christ. There is one insurmountable obstacle, The Pope isn't Jewish and neither can be. Why? Because the Israeli people are looking for the Messiah, and He must be a Jew. This is not to say that Catholicism could not be involved but this makes it a little tougher to fulfill prophecy. (TSK)Dan 12:11 - the time: Dan_8:11, Dan_8:12, Dan_8:26, Dan_11:31 the abomination: Heb. to set up the abomination, etc. Probably Mohammedanism, which sprang up in power the same year as the papal, ad 606; and 1,290 years from that time will be ad 1896, and 1,335 years ad 1941.

Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. 2. Mohammedanism.(Islam.) First lets look at the word;”Subdue”, from Daniel 7:24. SUBDUE; 1. To conquer by force or the exertion of superior power, and bring into permanent subjection; to reduce under dominion. Subduing implies conquest or vanquishing, but it implies also more permanence of subjection to the conquering power, than either of these words. 2. To oppress; to crush; to sink; to overpower so as to disable from further resistance. 3. To tame; to break by conquering a refractory temper or evil passions; to render submissive. 4. To conquer; to reduce to mildness. 5. To overcome; to conquer; to captivate. 6. To overcome; to overpower and destroy the force in charge. The last definition is to subdue by treaty and words of kindness. Islam is supposed to be a religion of brotherly love; but in contrast to this Idea, it was and still is a warier, domineering and oppressive religion. This idea stems from the word Jihad. (Holy War) Mohammedanism, sprang up in power the same year as the papal, ad 606. This is an important fact, sense both religions came to power in the same year. Muslims constitute 1/5th of the worlds population. The U.S. Population is, 295,734,134 (July 2005 est.) Islam religion is approximately 1,003,000,000(1.3 Billion.) Now imagine if one man controlled all Islam, this would constitute a very Impressive Military, wouldn't it? The anti-Christ will be an unknown, the position of the Khalifate hasnt been filled in years. Here is the definition Khilafa and Khalifa. Khalifa is an Arabic word literally meaning "one who replaces someone else who left or died" (English: caliph). In the context of Islam, however, the word acquires a narrower meaning. The Muslim Khalifa is the successor (in a line of successors) to Prophet Muhammad's position as the political, military, and administrative leader of the Muslims. The prophetic role of Muhammad is strictly not included in this definition, as the Qur'an and Hadith clearly state that Muhammad was the last of the prophets. Khilafa is a related Arabic word which, in the context of Islam, is used to denote the government of the Muslim state, of which the Khalifa is the head. A workable analogy of Khalifa and Khilafa is president and presidency or king and monarchy. The Khilafa is a fard kifaya on the ummah. The first Khilafa was Abu Bakr, 632-634 AC. I haven't been able to find the total number, but would it be interesting if this upcoming Kailafa would be the 666th? This message is intended to inform and enlighten all into the beginning of the end of the Gentile rule. This is an insight, an opinion, on todays activities around the world. ars I came to divide. There are more religions in the world today than ever. Many have sprung up in the last 35 years and a new one has just came upon the scene. Many of these religions are calling for a joint unity between all religions that will lead us all into one big happy family with world peace assured. The biggest thing that divides the world today is religion. For those that call for unity of religions, Please answer this one question, Which religions are willing to adapt all religions as being true? There are none, even between the peoples of many religions, there are variances between themselves. Let's take Islam for example. These people fight among themselves, having the same religion. They are known to kill others of the Same Religion for little or no cause. Islam, Hindi and other religions around the world accept Jesus as being a Man of God and a Prophet, but as Jesus told the Pharisees,"You do not accept a prophet of God in His own country and have killed the others that God has sent unto you." If Jesus was a prophet of God, why didn't all these other religions listen to His message? Jesus said, "I come not to send peace on the earth but a sword. I came to divide." The word that we preach also continues to divide, putting families and friends at odds with each other. Matthew 10:34, Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. (Mic-7:6) Christ being the prince of Peace was not going to do the Dividing but His message would set in motion the things covered by prophecy. His message caused wide hatred of Him and does us also. We are the most hated Religion by all peoples and even by some of our own. The message of the Bible separates family's, friends, countries and nations. Jesus said that there would be lords many and Christ many, but go not unto them, for they are false. We either believe Jesus is Lord or we don't. Its that simple. Why are we so hated? The message that we preach is controversial in all aspects. We balance Preaching Love and Preaching Fear. Jude 1:22-23; And of some have compassion, making a difference: (These are the tender hearted.)And others save with fear (These are the Hard Hearted.), pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. The message that Jesus left to us, rejects all other religions for there are none that can save the Soul of man except one. His message doesn't give any leeway for any occasion to sin nor to join forces with the darkness of unbelief. There is one central theam that all religions have, except for Christianity, Refusal to Declare Jesus as, Lord, Christ and Son of God. All religions believe in a god, weather it be one or multiple. They all believe in a here after and a punishment. They all believe that their religion is better than the rest but they all lack substance, they all lack insight and they all lack Spirit. God can not denigh His Son nor can He denigh Himself. Those that say, we will be reincarnated. If you can't get it right in this life how can you expect to get it right in the next? There are three major religions in the world and all three say they worship the True God, "Jehovah". Worshiping God, "Jehovah", brings about a responsibility to man to believe in Gods Word, letter by letter, word by word and passage by passage. Only 1 religion actually does. Mat 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance (a conflict.) against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. The conflict spoken of here is not one of family ties or love but of religious differences, in other words, we hate what our children do but we still love the children. Mat 10:36 And a man's foes (Enemies) shall be they of his own household. The Bible states very clearly that in the end of days that even the family will be at odds with each other and the children will have the parents put to death and the parents will also put their children to death. Here are two verses that prove this; Matthew 10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. Zec 13:3 And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through(Kill) when he prophesieth. This is not a contradiction of Matthew 10:35, but a revelation on the state of mans' changing attitude toward his relationships within his own family. Governmental regulations have almost destroyed the family unit by their interferences with the parental rights under God to correct their children and raise them up as called for by God. Do you think that this can't come about? Well think again, todays' society has gone the way of family murders, children killing parents and parents killing entire households, and remember the Civil War? But what we are speaking of is religious differences that will cause this same type of behavior, it is inevitable. Everyone is preoccupied with the past and trying to make sense of what happened but very few are considering the future. We must consider that tomorrow never comes, the future of mans' soul is today. Sometimes our own love, for our family and even our children, put us at odds with the Creator. Many times we will think of our family, wife, husband, daughter and son, before we even think about considering God. Jesus knew that this would take place even more in the times of the end. I have seen this myself in my life and in the lives of others. Jesus told us in Matthew 10:37-39; "He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: (This is not physical love, for God and Jesus are Spirit, but this is a spiritual love and arrangement of our spiritual priorities.) and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.(His demands for total regard and love is all inclusive.) And he that taketh not his cross (The word,"Cross" is speaking of responsibility and labors due to God.), and followeth after me (To follow Jesus is to follow His example of obedience to God and His will. Even prior to His Death, the thoughts of Jesus, were on only fulfilling the will of His Father.), is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it ( Refusing to follow after Jesus, and taking the easy way thru this life may give you, Joy, Love, Pleasure and fulfillment in the flesh but in the end you will lose your everlasting soul.): and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it." (Obedience unto death.) The last division I want to mention is within the Christian Community itself. There are many different Churches that dislike and even hate other Christian Churches because they worship God in different ways and with different Names over the Door. Baptist, (Which do not accept the gifts of the Spirit for todays Church.)1St. Baptist, 2ND Baptist, Independent Baptist, Southern Baptist, Northern Baptist, Apostolic (Which does not accept a Trinity, Father, Son, Holy Ghost.) Pentecost(Which does accept the gifts of the Spirit for todays Church.) , Nazarene, Catholic (Believes that common man does not have the intelligence to read and interpret the Bible for themselves.), New Life Baptist, Church of God, ect, ect, ect. Each of these Churches must look at each other as fellow brothers in Christ, follow His Doctrine, as lined out in the Book of Acts, and accept each other as fellow workers in the search for lost souls. What causes this division? Doctrine. Mans doctrine started to get a foot hold in the Church many years ago, starting with the separation of the Catholic Church (Which sought to control the minds of its followers, not allowing them to read the Bible for themselves.) and the Protestant Movement,(Which believed that the Gospel of Jesus should, be open to all men, to be able to read and interpret within themselves.) If you would take the time and look at most Church Doctrines, you would see that it doesn't line up with the word of God and many are contrary to it. An evangelist, that is preaching the Gospel, should be able to go into any Christian Church and Preach Salvation, no matter what name is on the door. Just because a man of God is not affiliated with any specific Church that He enters, does mean that He is a wolf at the door. Its time the Church woke up. The End is near. 1 Co. 14:26; How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. We must either join hands and quit this division and bickering or we will have a hard time walking together. We must all walk together, hand in hand, or we might miss Heaven altogether. ars Who Are We ? 1 Corinthians 3:4-3:5 A lesson in Humility and servitude. 1Co 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 1Co 3:4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? 1Co 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is {Apollos [A Jew from Alexandria, eloquent (which may also mean learned), and mighty in the Scriptures; one instructed in the way of the Lord, according to the imperfect view of the disciples of John the Baptist, Act_18:24, but on his coming to Ephesus during a temporary absence of St. Paul, A.D. 54, more perfectly taught by Aquila and Priscilla.} Priscilla, being the wife of Aquila, is sometimes mentioned before her husband ,in Scripture, as having taught Apollos the finer points of Scripture, concerning women and the gospel, some call her a disciple. Apollos learned his teachings primarily from the writings of John the Baptist. So we can see here that even the most eloquent of men, may need to be retaught. After this, he became a preacher of the gospel, first in Achaia and then in Corinth. Act_18:27; Act_1819:1. When the apostle wrote his First Epistle to the Corinthians, Apollos was with or near him, 1Co_16:12, probably at Ephesus in A.D. 57.], but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? Paul, as an example to all, shows humbleness. He puts himself in a place of servitude and not as lord over the people. Paul received this blessing from the words of Jesus, who stated that, “I came to serve and not to be served.” Paul and Apollos were in total agreement, they were the servants of God and of the people. Paul goes on to state their role in the plan of salvation a lesson that we all need to take another look at. 1Co 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. Paul ,as an Apostle [Our Lord gave them [ apostles] the “keys of the kingdom,” and by the gift of his Spirit fitted them to be the founders and governors of his church (Joh_14:16,], established the Gospel here and Apollos increased the people’s knowledge of Jesus but God was the one who ,saved and increased the membership of the church. Sense neither Paul nor Apollos could ,save nor add to the church , He put the Glory and addition of saved souls to the church to the account of God. 1Co 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Who are we, are we someone special that sets us apart from the rest of Christianity or are we, as Paul stated, just messengers of God to deliverer the word to others? There are special blessings in Scripture for the ministers of the gospel, but what we want to look at here is our place in God, again, as servants and not as lords over the people. People come to Jesus, not because of who ministers the word [we all must preach the same to all men , so that one minister is no different, in the word, than another.] , but they come to Jesus because of the word. It’s the word that saves, and the drawing power of the Holy Ghost that urges repentance on the heart of the individual. There are many today that have forgotten their place in God and are thinking more of themselves than they should. I’ve talked to some who act like the old town sheriff who counts his worth by the notches on his gun. We save no one, I have never met a minister that has ever saved a soul, not one. Surprised, don’t be, it is not in man to save, but to deliver the word that God might save. “ that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you;” If we are following the word of God, we all must be following the same path, there should be no division among us. 1Co 1:11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe [A matron at Corinth, some of whose household informed Paul of the divisions in the Corinthian church.], that there are contentions among you. 1Co 1:12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. The repeated δὲ and, expresses the opposition between the respective parties. The followers of Apollos preferred his more philosophical and rhetorical preaching to the simpler and more direct utterances of Paul. Others ranged themselves under the name of Peter. The differences here the people were referring to was ,the delivery of the gospel, ministers deliver the word as per their ability. [1Pe 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.], some like a, soft delivery and some an evangelistic approach, but the word must all be the same. For example, My brother, the Pastor of, Three Mile Baptist Church, is more of a, philosophical preacher with a soft touch and I, a Evangelistic approach, Hell Fire and Brimstone, my Mother, a teacher as Pricilla, but we still preach the same word. And who was Cephas its Aramaic for Πέτρος Peter. See on Joh_1:42. It is Paul’s usual name for Peter, Πέτρος occurring only Gal_2:7, Gal_2:8. Peter would be the rallying-point for the Judaizing Christians, who claimed him as the apostle of the circumcision.(Paul at times in Scripture rebuked Peter for separating himself from the gentiles when Jews entered the room, Paul was teaching that all men are equal in the eyes of God.) The state of the Corinthian church offered the most favorable ground for Paul’s Jewish-Christian adversaries, who took advantage of the reaction created by the looser views and practice of Gentile Christians, and by the differences of opinion on important questions, to press the necessity of legal regulation, and of ceremonial observances in non-essentials.( Primarily, circumcision of the flesh.) 1Co 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? This is one verse that all need to pay particular attention to, Paul states his position most clearly, Jesus is the one that died for you, he was the one that God sent to save the world and in His name are all Baptized. You must look to Jesus for salvation , not us. 1Co 1:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; 1Co 1:15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. ( Paul was not out to establish a name for himself, but a name for Jesus) 1Co 1:16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. 1Co 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize,[ Paul was stating that baptism was a time consuming job at this point in time and his work in the gospel was of the utmost importance. So he preached and allocated the Baptism of the saved to others. but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words[ He kept it simple], lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.[ The gentiles at this time were unlearned and needed ministers, like Paul, to preach in a manner that they could understand] ( If the word we preach cannot be understood how then can man be saved?) 1Co 9:22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. ( Paul was being realistic, many are trying to save the entire world, and its not going to happen) 1Co 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish [Those who are unregenerate.] foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 1Co 1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 1Co 1:20 Where is the wise? [(Isa_29:14). By turning to the passage in Isaiah, its meaning is clear. God will put aside the wisdom and understanding of men; these will not save; but he will save by what the world called foolishness, The preaching of the Cross] where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? [One who disputes, or who is given to disputes; a controvertist.] hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 1Co 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. [We preach a savior that man cannot see, we preach a word that man has neither comprehension of nor part in.](Man did nothing to develop the gospel, it was entirely by the inspiration of God) Man cannot understand a divinely inspired word that never came from his wisdom or knowledge. 1Co 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 1Co 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock( The Jews looked for a King, such as David and Solomon to reign on the earth and not for a savior to reign in a Heavenly world.) , and unto the Greeks foolishness (the Greeks looked for the knowledge of a natural source, not spiritual); 1Co 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. I pray that this lesson has opened up understanding about who we are according to Scripture. The following is an article that I thought every Christian should hear. ars {Israeli military intelligence chief Aharon Zeevi was quoted Wednesday as saying Tehran might have the bomb by 2008 if the international community does not halt Iran’s march to acquiring nuclear weapons. "Iran is the country that has announced that one missile toward Israel will destroy the Jewish state. So we should be concerned about the Iranians’ efforts to develop nuclear weapons," Sharon said.} The Great Resurrection Debate. I watched a program the other night featuring the Resurrection. On this program were theologians, debating weather the Resurrection of Jesus was real or a spiritual vision. I wanted to answer all these men about their uncertainty of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. We shall take scripture by scripture. 1st. Lets look at weather Jesus died or not. 1A. References; Mat 27:34-50 - Mat.27:34-50. Crucifixion and death of the Lord Jesus. ( Mar.15:25-37; Luke 23:33-46; John 19:18-30). For the exposition, see John 19:18-30. 1. Mat 27:64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. The chief priests and Pharisees knowing later that, Jesus actually did raise from the dead, put an order out that the story would be that, the disciples of Jesus bribed the Roman Guards and took the body. The chief priests and Pharisees, were afraid of the results of Jesus coming back to life. In Jewish records and here in Matthew 27:64, we see that, Yes, Jesus was dead. (Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.) Witnesses? 1. The Roman Centurion, what we would call a captain of the guard. Romans had no reason to lie about a Jew. For the Jews were under their control. Matthew 27:54. 2. Joseph of Arimathaea, A Rich man of Nobility, known of the Jews. Mat 27:58. 3. Mary Magdalene, a follower of Jesus. Mat 27:56. 4. Mary, The Mother of Jesus. Mat 27:56. 5. Pontius Pilate, The sixth Roman procurator of Judea. 6. Many women of Jerusalem. Mat 27:55. 7. The Priests, scribes, and elders of the Sanhedrin. Mat 27:41 8. Salome, Wife of Zebedee. There is no doubt that Jesus was killed on the Cross. History and even His unbelievers concur that the man Jesus was Dead. The Life and death of Jesus is documented in records from the Roman Library, The Jewish Sanhedrin Records and even the Records of the Islamic Koran. The next question that was raised, Was Jesus buried in Joseph Arimathaeas tomb, or was He thrown into a pit of dead convicts outside the city wall? Yes, some of these theologians actually believe this. But Lets find out from witnesses. Qumran Text of Isaiah 53, Catholic Encyclopedia of 1908, Nicodemus Text, Church historian Eusebius of Caesarea (writing ca 325), The main body of Acta Pilati is in two sections, with an appendix, Descensus ad Infernos—the Harrowing of Hell—that does not exist in the Greek texts, and is a later addition to the Latin versions. The first (chapters i–xi) contains the trial of Jesus based upon Luke 23. The second part (xii–xvi)regards the Resurrection. In it, Leucius and Charinus, the two souls raised from the dead after the Crucifixion, relate to the Sanhedrin the circumstances of Our Lord's descent to Limbo. A literature of miracle-tale Romance developed around "Leucius Charinus" as author. The Harrowing of Hell episode depicts St Dismas accompanying Jesus in Hell, and the deliverance of the righteous Old Testament patriarchs. The writings of these men and many others are historical facts. Many writings of Jesus, Death, Burial and Resurrection are well documented by Historians and even some that didn't even believe in Jesus. So we see that Jesus, 1. Was Born. 2. Was Crucified. 3. Was buried in a tomb. Now lets talk about the Resurrection itself. Now the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead, is quite a controversial subject. Many prominent theologians believe that the sightings of Jesus were sightings of a visionary means. They believe that The disciples were so distraught, that they all imagined an apparition of Jesus, making it a spiritual encounter instead of a physical one. They do not take into account that the Bible tells us that Thomas actually, felt of Christ, that Jesus ate fish and was clothed. Their doubt stems from, Jesus being able to appear and disappear at will. From the meeting room that the disciples were in and the meetings of Jesus and the disciples on the road. (Ref. John 20:14-16, Mark15:40, Mark 15:47; Luke 24:10; John 20:14-18.) Mark 16:9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. The biggest reasoning for these theologians to doubt the physical Resurrection is in a single word; (appeared)which means, To come into view: emerge, issue, loom, materialize, show. Idioms: make put in an appearance, meet the eye. To begin to appear or develop: arise, commence, dawn, emerge, originate. They have mistakenly confused these two words, appeared and apparition. The word apparition means; spiritualistic manifestation of a person or object in which a form not actually present is seen with such intensity that belief in its reality is created. The ancient and widespread belief in apparitions and ghosts (specters of dead persons) is based on the idea that the spirit of a man, or of any object, is endowed with volition and motion of its own. Mar 16:14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. Appearances; Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. he appeared: Luke 24:36-43; John 20:19, John 20:20; 1Co 15:5 The Physical; Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. Luke 24:41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? Luke 24:42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. Luke 24:43 And he took it, and did eat before them.Acts; 10:41 1Co 15:5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: In Mark 16:16 ; we see that Jesus, after His resurrection, gave the only two alternatives to Salvation, “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” We must understand that, “Faith”, is believing in the Birth, Ministry, Death, Resurrection and Assention of Christ. We must believe that the Bible is the ultimate truth. If we do not believe that Jesus rose from the Dead, our Faith is in vain. This is our Hope, Faith and future in Christ. We either believe or we don't. As For Me; I and My House shall serve the Lord. 1Co 15:16 -19; For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. Restoration. Hallelujah. Free at Last, Free at Last, Thank God almighty, Were free at last. Not being free in the body, but rather, free in the spirit. What is freedom, where does it come from and how do we obtain it? Many people around the world today are asking these same questions. From Africa, to China, North America to Russia, Australia to India. Freedom will never be obtained in this life but the freedom comes from Knowing God and releasing the burdens of the flesh. Not wanting to be king of the world, nor ruler of physical ownership of the seen, but of the unseen. Our, hope, home and joy is not of this world, we are all strangers here. We have a kingdom to come, that will never end. We have become custom to being able to, do as we wish, go where we want and conduct ourselves accordingly. But we were, and still are bound by chains and fetters in this body. Pain, suffering, discontent, disease are all part of our bondage. Many that don't believe in God, haven't seen nor felt the true freedom that one experiences as God fills their body with the spirit of Jesus Christ and with the truth and the release of their sin. The spiritual and not the physical. The cry of happiness and the joy of knowing the truth. When I came to realize that I was lost and had no hope, I gave myself over to the one that died on that cross and the burdens fell to the floor. I was no longer bound by what I thought I knew, I wasn't bound by fear nor anxiety. I no longer feared death. I was born again in the flesh and in the spirit. I knew where my spirit lay. In John 8:32 we learn, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” What is the truth that John was speaking of ? John himself, at one time, as were all mankind, in the bondage of the physical, not knowing the truth of Gods freedom of the spirit. When we were lost, we never knew that we were in chains, having knowledge but not knowing the truth of our surrounding's. The truth that all manner of things, from the living to the innate will all come to and end. Steel will rust, Wood will burn, Stone will crumble and all other things are but for a time. John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. Jesus is wanting to make us all free of this world, its, hate, strife, worry and from the unknown. Its the unknown that causes many to have failing hearts and troubled minds. Not knowing from one day or another weather they will be alive, weather someone will take all they have, or weather this world will meet a violent end. Fear of the unknown is causing many a sleepless night. Fear and confusion, causes marriages to fail, body's to become sick and the mind to become unstable. In Luke 21:25-26, we see the reason many will die because of fear. And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity(Trouble, confusion, fear of the unexplained, the inexplicable, seeking answers but not finding one.); the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. Romans 5:18 Therefore as by the offence (Transgression, Disobedience, breaking of the Law.) of one (Adam) judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one (Jesus) the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. Luke 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men(Man writes laws and bibles to justify themselves.); but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men( idols,false gods and false prophets.) is abomination in the sight of God. The turning away from the truth, being reconciliatory to all manner of filth and religions, being tolerable of lies and evil, making a pact with the devil, just to have a short lived peace. This present age is filled with violence, of so called religion. To obtain peace, there will be a pact made between those that say they are religious and the demon of darkness, this is undeniable. A Pact with the free nations and those nations that hold their people in religious bondage. Here is mans fear and confusion, what price will mankind pay for peace? Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. The beginning of something must also have an end. Being born must also end in death, for we all must die, weather you believe in God or not, your life will end in death. In Galatians 3:28, we see that God has no respect of persons. What does this mean? No one is above the judgment of God, no one is below Gods ability to save, we are neither, rich nor poor, white nor black, heathen nor civilized in Gods eyes. We all, as a race of people, are all the same. There are only two types of people on this earth, those born in first Adam (Born in Sin, human, and those born into last Adam, those of the spirit of Christ.) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. God does not look at the flesh, but rather looks into the spirit, for God is spirit. No man has ever entered into the next life in the flesh. We were all sinners at one time but thru the sacrifice of Jesus we all have the ability to become the Sons of God, free from the wrath to come and from the everlasting death of Hell. It is not blasphemy to say that we are the Sons of God, nor Lords, Preast and Kings, for the price was paid for our privilege to say so. Amos 9:1, I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword(War): he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered. Amos 9:2-5 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down: And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel(Hebrew = garden land), mountain ridge, North Western Israel, extending 13 miles North West from the plain of Esdraelon to the Mediterranean Sea, where it ends in a promontory marking the southern limit of the Bay of Haifa.), I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them: And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword (War), and it shall slay (kill) them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good (Gods Wrath). And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. Barnes states of Amos 9:4-5, “Height or depth are alike open to the Omnipresent God. The grave is not so awful as God. The sinner would gladly “dig through” into hell, bury himself, the living among the dead, if so he could escape the sight of God. But thence, God says, “My hand shall take them,” to place them in His presence, to receive their sentence. Or if, like the rebel angels, they could “place” their “throne amid the stars Isaiah 14:12-14, of God thence will I bring them down,” humbling, judging, condemning.” The Glory of knowing God and His Son Jesus, is worth more than this world can offer. If you would gain this world and all its riches and loose your soul, what would you give to change what you have done? Why are you holding onto a life that will bring you nothing but pain, fear, discontent, confusion? Many today are fearful of loosing their retirement, medical coverage, their homes, jobs and money. Doesn't God feed the Birds of the air and creatures of the fields, doesn't He give the trees fruit and the flowers their color? God is our Source and Supply, for He is ever present. Cant you understand that if God cares for this world and its nature, that He cares more for you? Everlasting peace and joy can only be obtained in the next life, for mankind is on a path of death and destruction. Its your choice. ars Bibles and Bullets. Bibles and Bullets.
