THE "COMINGS" OF CHRIST JESUS Part 1

Isaiah 7:14. "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."

    This was His "coming" in the flesh, as human man. Yet His own received Him not!

  John 1:1. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

 John 1:14. "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth"

     For all of whom argue that Jesus is not God, please know that the Three Divine Beings are the GODHEAD, as GOD,  the Father, as GOD the Son, and GOD, as the Holy Spirit.  A better explanation must wait until we can ask Jesus face to face!

    This is most commonly accepted as His First Coming, that as a Babe.

                                                      THE 2ND COMING!  NOT A "SECRET RAPTURE".

Revelation 1:7. "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."

      Many fully believe in the "secret rapture" but this verse posses a big problem, agree? How can it be a secret, when every eye shall see Him? Including the Resurrection of those who pierced Him?

Psalms 104:3. "Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:"

Psalms 68:17. "The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place."

    From the 3 verses, we can learn that His "Clouds", are His angels,

 Revelation 5:11. "And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;"

     How many angels are there? Well the 10k x10k gives1 billion & 10,000, plus 1,000's of K's , lets us understand that there will be enough to do the job!

    Matthew 28:2-4. "And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.   His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men."

    Please know, that the Temple's High Priests, feared His followers would steal His body, because Jesus Himself had said I will raise this Temple in three days, so they talked the Romans into putting a Centurion Guard before the tomb, that's 100 fighting men, who became as dead men!

Matthew 24:30-31. "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. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."

 2 Thessalonians 1:7. "And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,"

 Luke 9:26. "For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels."

    Now I ask you reader. . .if . . .ONE ANGEL' s appearing can put 100 hardened Roman soldiers to be as dead men, what will millions be able to do, plus both God the Father, and God the Son, shall be with them, and where ever these Two are the Holy Spirit shall be with them also! All in their full GLORY! They shall out shine the very sun! {Still think this could be Secret?}

Revelation 5:11. "And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; "

Acts 1:11. "Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

                                                         THIS WILL ALSO BE AUDIBLE! 


1 Thessalonians 4:16. "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:"


      Would you agree, that of all the instruments, the trump- trumpet is by far the loudest?

Matthew 24:31. "And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."

    Who are the Elect? They are NOT those who dis-believe or reject Christ, agree?

 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17."For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

      NOTE: "..the dead in Christ shall rise first..."  does this not create a huge problem for all who teach & believe, die and go to heaven or hell? Remember the clouds are the mass of His angels.
      NOTE: "...meet the Lord in the air..." Christ, at this time, does NOT put His feet on this earth, period! This is the why for...

 Matthew 24:26-27. "Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

                                               WHAT SHALL HAPPEN THEN?  THE RIGHTEOUS.

1 Thessalonians 4:16. "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:"

    If the dead that sleep in Christ, are the first to rise, does this mean there's a second resurrection? YES!
That of the wicked, 1,000 years latter!

 Revelation 20:5-. " But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years."

 1 Corinthians 15:50-53. "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality."

     The "Corruption and in-corruption" are the human physical and or mental shortcomings and errors, such as blindness, or toothless, or missing limbs, all shall be be made perfect! As for the immortality, well we shall receive a body just a Jesus has! What a promise, a glorious body for each in Jesus!  How can we know? Read on!

  Philippians 3:20-21. "For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ:  Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself."


                                                         THE UNRIGHTEOUS.

Philippians 3:18. "For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:"

Matthew 13:49-50. "So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth"

 Revelation 6:15-17. "And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"

     Do you Reader, think that these are very afraid of Jesus, as they ask the the mountains to fall on them? The very ones who think that killing you for not believing as they do, that they are doing  God a service?

John 16:2. "They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service."


Matthew 24:30. "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."

     Sorry but most I know shall be rejoicing, only those who have not a personal relationship with Jesus, shall be the ones in mourning, but only for a little while until the die, by the His brightness!

 Jude 1:14-15 . "And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."

 Zephaniah 1:14-15. "The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,"

 2 Thessalonians 2:8. "And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:"

SO WHAT IS USED FOR THE IDEA OF A SECRET RAPTURE IDEAS? 




Matthew 24:40-41. "Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left."


   Hopefully, you now know that one taken is taken to be be with Jesus, the other' s left behind, to perish.CC.Mark 13:32-37. Luke 17:26-30


           DISPENSATIONALISM: or the second chance Gospel. (As per the Jesuits)


    This is a human invention, primarily to counter the Reformation, a belief that the Antichrist, will come after the Tribulations, being one view, another being that he's already been and gone in the man form named Antiochus 3rd who desecrated the Temple by the roasting of a pig, during the Greek occupation!
     Neither being Biblical, in the slightest.

 1 John 2:18-19. "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us."

    This is Paul writing and the US are all those in Christ by love & faith. But read with care, and those antichrists,. . ."they went out from us, but they were not of us..." these are those who set up their religions, the Strange Religions, for Rome! She with her Hell fires burning lost people forever, or her indulgences the prepaid for sins, praying to the dead, and whole host of other things not found in any Bible, not even their own!  These DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD'S WORD, EXCEPT AS IT SUITS THEM!

 Hebrews 9:27 . "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"

Isaiah 55:7. "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon."

 No person's sins are so big, or so many that God can't forgive and Christ has already paid this debt in full!

 2 Thessalonians 1:6-7. "Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,"

     Some may ask, "Why does God allow evil men to exist"? Well for one He want all to come to full and  honest repentance, and none to be lost.

Matthew 13:30. "Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn"

     God's angels will pluck up the tares.
 MANY ARE TAUGHT & WANT TO BELIEVE THAT NONE SHALL GO THROUGH THE TRIBULATIONS, HENCE THE SECRET RAPTURE BUT. . . did the Children of Israel get raptured away from all the Plaques, or where they left in place but fully protected from all these events, by God' s hand?

 Revelation 7:13-14. "And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."

Isaiah 25:9. "And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation."


                                SIGNS OF HIS COMING.

MATT. 24-- MR. 13.. LK 21


Matthew 24:2-3. "And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?"


     This is known as a typology, being the ending of Judah and Jerusalem, ion 70A.D.,so shall the earth's surfaces be uprooted and leveled of all human made stuff. 


 Zephaniah 1:14-16. "The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers."

 THAT DAY, GREAT DAY, DAY OF THE LORD, all are the same time framed day, of the Second Coming of our Lord!

Luke 21:25-26. "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; 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."

Matthew 24:7. "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places"

    Please know, the word Nation, in the Greek is ethnos, meaning ethnic peoples, shall rise up against each other, and within kingdoms even while kingdoms fight! Just look at earth' s famines, and pestilences, Spanish Flue 1918-1920 killed 20 million, and how many have died from Aids, since 1980? Or Earthquakes with records in casualties, and numbers, as well as increases in Richter Scale numbers. Since 1990 more people killed to date 1/2012, then as known in history!


James 5:1. "Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you."

   If Matthew 24:7, did not have any meaning to you, how about James, above, and what your local papers are reporting? On earth' s economies? HELLO?

 2 Timothy 3:1-5. "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."

    Or have you seen or been hit by anyone of these spoken of in 2nd Timothy?  Hopefully not anyone YOU know!

Isaiah 5:4-6. "What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes? And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:  And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it."

God did everything for us, but with our free-will we humans for the vast numbers of us, turned our backs on Him, even embracing evolution, an idea whose ONLY purpose is to do away with God! Just as Satan always wanted

  Revelation 11:18-19. "And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.  And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

       This is the closing o Probation, and Judgments are finished. Just look at all the natural fires in Spain Portugal, Greece, Texas, Arizona and California and Australia, in just the last few years!

Nahum 2:4. "The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings."

   Please replace chariots with cars and trucks on earth's highways, near any city.

Revelation 16:15. "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame."


   Again, those who know His Word, will not be taken by surprise, as we all would be if a thief broke in our homes. You are not in the dark, knowledge wise are you?





1 Thessalonians 5:2-4. "For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief."



John 5:22. "For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:"


     Why should be be joyful at this remark?  Because, Jesus lived on earth, and went through much more than we ever will, so He knows what it is for us to deal with Satan & company. Yet Rome is busy removing Jesus with Mary!


Daniel 7:26. "But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end."





     This is the Little horn power system, that shall be destroyed, this is the Church of Rome and all its' leaders, who have nothing,[ because they hold their traditions as higher than God' s Word], but Satan's displays of bleeding statues, ghostly apparitions, and  astigmatic now on every continent on earth, for the first time!



Question: Why resort to hurting persons for the reputed cost of sins, by these astigmatic, sufferers? Did not Christ pay for all sins for all time at His Cross?  YES or NO? So how are a few very human people pay this price?
And who but Satan would be able to do this horror?




Daniel 7:13-14. "I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."





THIS IS PART ONE!

WORSHIP . . . WHOM, HOW?

WORSHIP . . .  WHOM, HOW?

     The United States Department of the Treasury the I.R.S. recognizes about 44,000 different religions, so it's hardly an wonder why most of us are confused about Religion in general, agree?

 Daniel 3:1. "Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon."


NOTE:  "image"  and the fact that an cubit is 18 inches long (18"x60)

 Daniel 3:4-5. "Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,  That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:"

     Just as it was, so shall it be again, when we are told by LAW,  "The Sunday Law", and with the full weight of governments backing it, it shall be Universal, but with the death penalty as well, just as it was in the Dark Ages, and here in Babylon. . . . {When did the plaques fall on the Egyptians? When the Children of Israel where forced to work on the Sabbath day!}  Please think!

 Daniel 3:6. "And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace."

 Daniel 3:1. "Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king."


Daniel 3:15-18. "Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?  Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up".

     Note: It's not the atheists, that will demand Sunday worship, but Christians, or so they call themselves!

 Daniel 3:20. "And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace."

 Daniel 3:24-25 . "Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his Councillors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.  He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God."

Daniel 3:28. "Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God."


Mark 13:9. " But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them."

   Did not Daniel's three friends, brought, by force, before the council, the King? In whom do YOU trust?


Mark 13:11-13. "But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."

 Revelation 17:15. "And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."

     This woman, dressed and scarlet & purple  [colors are #17as the Biblical identifier]

 Revelation 13:6-9. "And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear."

 Revelation 13:13. "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,"

     Most of the western world, have heard or seen pictures, of so-called Mary images, on diverse backgrounds and in many places. Plus all those bleeding stone and wood carvings, that cry tears of either blood or olive oil, right? Well who do you supposed creates these events?

 Revelation 13:4. "And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?"

     Who is this dragon? Rev.12:9.

      But you say, this is stupid, and silly, only Satanist worship this entity, right? Well, at least not openly, but read the Revolutions, Tyrants and Wars, within the Long Life posts, or order the DVD from:
www.amazingdiscoveries.org  and learn about those Secret Societies,each one of which do a tremendous amount of good, for the public, which serves only to hide the true purpose, The One World government, The New World Order! All run from within the city/state, that already rules much of the world, already today!

     AS you can learn from the above DVD,  Albert Pike wrote in 1871, to his Italian counterpart, Mazzini, that there's must for W.W.1, in order for the Communists revolution to succeed, by throwing our the Tzars, who protected the Orthodox Church, as well as for the mass murder of some 50 million Russian Jews, right up to 1953 when Stalin died.Then he wrote of the need for W.W.2 and the elimination of many Protestants, and then a W.W.3 begun between the Jews and Islam followers, that will draw in atheists, and Christians, which will be so brutal, that the survivors will clamor for the Someone to be our leader and Savior! By the way both Pike and Mazzini were 33rd degree Masons.These are Satan's and his plans, but God calls all the shots, right?

 Revelation 14:6-10. "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. 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:"


    The Babylon spoken of here, is not the physical city, which was destroyed and not ever occupied nor rebuilt. [Yes Saddam Hussein (also a 33rd degree Mason, as was Yassar Arafat!) did rebuild a small portion of it, until he ran out of time and  life] but but rather what this city worships, and its methods and traditions, all which are contrary to the Holy Bible! They are contrary to the Bible because this Little Horn, insists her Traditions, surpass the Word of God.


Daniel 7:25-26."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: 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.

     So,  we can see from Vs 26, above, that this power system shall fall to judgment,, its "kingdom" taken away, and to be fully destroyed! Which is the very reason of the why on this next verse!

 Revelation 18:4. "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

    "..COME OUT OD HER MY PEOPLE, THAT YE BE NOT PARTAKES OF HER SINS..." 

God has many faithful believers with in this system!

    Who is the power behind the Little Horn Power?

Revelation 13:. " And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority."

    Please learn from history, that the Emperor Constantine, gave up his seat of power for the Western Roman Empire, and passed it on to the Bishop of the Church of Rome in the 331 AD time frame. Constantine moved to his new capital Constantinople [Istanbul - Turkey] . Thus began the Holy Roman Empire, run both  RELIGIOUSLY AND CIVILLY BY THE CHURCH OF ROME!
    In this the Church had already been infused by Paganism, which still today marks its path, and why its called Babylon meaning confusion and or Babel- BA' AL {think}BAB = gate. EL = god. but not our God.

John 14:15-16. "If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;"

    Please, does this verse say, "Choose those YOU, if you want or are TOLD to obey?" 

Matthew 5:19. "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

James 2:10. "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."

 1 John 2:18-19. "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now are there many Antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us."

 1 John 2:20-21. "But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth."

   Know also that this Little Horn, has worked hard to reduce the power, importance of Jesus Christ, in favor of His earthly Mother Mary, for she now holds [as of 1958] the Titles "Queen of Heaven", "Mediatorix", thus in reality replacing Jesus Christ! Please also know the word Antichrist in the Greek, is instead of Christ!

    So why does God hold His law to such high levels?

1 John 3:4. "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law."

 Romans 6:23. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

 1 John 3:5-10. "And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.  In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother."

     ALL but the last HE, in the above passage in our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus, the last "he" is the you and me!

    When it's of the greatest of importance, this man, tries to use God's Word as best as I know, to make minimum my own words!

     So as there shall be but two camps, two belief systems on earth in the "Latter Days", which ones will be rewarded with eternal life?

Revelation 14:12. ":Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."


      Please make a note: The "COMMANDMENTS OF GOD" . . . .not a mention of the

COMMANDMENTS OF MEN"!

Because men nor man can save even themselves, all that SHALL COMMAND  us to worship their way, shall themselves be destroyed! For they are those who have the mark of the Beast!

BABYLON . . .& "THE MARK of the BEAST"

Babylon, the city is no more, but her ideologies and religious practices live on, even still to today!

Mark of the Beast" M.O.B. To any who have read, with or without understanding the Book of Daniel, should know that these beasts are but symbols, of empires, kingdoms and or power systems of man or men!

      It is enough to say, those who accept and believe the words of men, over the Word of God, shall be "Blotted Out", the second death from which there is NO return nor reprieve!

Romans 6:16. "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?"

     Again, there are but two. . .two camps within the entire human race, lives and obeys, either God and eternal life, or man/men and eternal death! There's absolutely no middle ground, we either follow God or we follow Satan and his crew!

 Revelation 13:1-2. "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.  And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority."

     Please NOTE: John saw from his day back into time, while Daniel was given to see forwards into time thus the orders are from John, a reverse order, from the visions of Daniel

Daniel 7:1-8. "In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.  Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.  And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.  After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things".

 Daniel 7:16-17. "I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things. These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of he earth."

 Daniel 7:19-20. "Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;  And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows"

   This was still the Roman Empire of the Emperors.

     Three fell... from Dan. 7:8,20,24 they are/were the Huruli destroyed A.D 493, the Vandals in 534 A.D. and the Ostrogoths wiped out in A.D. 535, which was the exact year the Bible forecast, in the 2300 days prophecy.

 Daniel 8:20-21. "The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.".


    We know from man's history, that first there was the Babylonian kingdom, that lost to the Medes and the Persians, the Medo-Persian empire, which fell to the Greeks under Alexander the Great, who died leaving four generals to divide his empire. This power lost to the Iron might of Pagan Rome, that's seen in part, in this verse....

 Daniel 8:23-25. "And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.  And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.  And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand."

    This becomes the beginnings of power for the "Little Horn"

 Daniel 7:20-21. "And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;"

     So, which power system or structure waged war and persecuted God's saints in human history?

Daniel 7:23. "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."

    From this we learn this 4th power, is diverse, or different from all other powers, and it shall DEVOUR the whole earth, tread it down, and break it in pieces.

 Daniel 7:24. "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."

     REVIEW: From Babylon to Greece, to Rome itself, shows a constant movement from the East to the West, agree? 7:24 tells of 10 horns symbolic of power, as are the 10 kings, yet another shall rise after them , different from the the 10  but he shall subdue 3 kings. So I ask you what sets this "Horn with eyes and a mouth" apart from all the other powers?

      If, we accept the premise, that human powers waring against human powers, in any fashion, to be on the HORIZONTAL PLANE, then can we by this reasoning, take the next verse to be a war in the VERTICAL, as a war against God?

 Daniel 7:25. "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: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."

     Who but our Heavenly Father could or can be the "Most High"?  Which power, in human history, did 'wear-out' the saints of the Most High, and THINK to change times and laws?  Now would anyone notice, or think God would have caused His servants to comment on human laws that got changed?    YES-NO?
     Most scholars find that the laws, note plural, and to change times, must be within God;s laws and His Times, does that sound within reason?

 Genesis 1:4-5. "And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.  And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day."

     For all the Scripture lawyers & and skeptics, the word DAY, in the Hebrew is YOME, and is 24 hour time frame from sunset to sunset, but that got changed by men from midnight to midnight, nearly 2,000 years ago! Along with the change from the Sabbath worship to worship on "The Venerable Day of the Sun", in 321 A.D. by Constantine.; {God set up these days/times so all without watches or clocks could know when one day ended, and another began, by sun's set or rising!}

      Who or what is the "Little Horn " power, and does the Bible, and human history, give us any clues?
     Yes, history places these as follows:
ANGLO - SAXONS  of England today
FRANKS - The French
BURGUNDIANS - The Swiss
VISIGOTHS -  Spain today
ALAMANNI- Germany
SUEVI Portugal
LOMBARDS Italy  along with the three }"Uprooted" kings,the Huruli, Vandals and the Ostrogoths are the ten kings.

 Daniel 2:41-43. "And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.  And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay."

    Iron & clay will NOT mix, even in a lab. This means that although these kings intermarried so much so, that W.W.! could have been called a "Family Feud", because they are so inter-related, no human from the Caesars to the kings to Napoleon, to the Kaiser, to Hitler, or Euro the "United States of Europe", none have been able to make Europe 'cleave' one to another! {Dan 2- "Iron man in the king's dream}

THE BIBLE'S IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTICS FOR THE LITTLE HORN POWER.

  1. Dan.7:8. " Coming up among them" it rose up amongst them in W. Europe.
  2.         7:24. "Another shall rise after them. the 10 Germanic tribes took Rome in A.D. 476 so it must have come up after this time.
  3.         7:24. "he shall be different from the first ones" it had to be other than a political power
  4.         7:24. "Shall subdue three kings". The 3 accepted Arianism, that Christ, a good man but not divine, and this power, with Justinian, and in Dan. 7:8 "three would be plucked up by the roots." This was done by 538A.D.
  5.         7:8. "Eyes like the eyes of a man".. horns at times have crowns, but this has eyes and a mouth, meaning power lies within one man, and in men over time.Eyes denotes intellect rather than illiterate barbarians.
  6.          7:25. Speaks pompous words against the Most High" speaks vertically against God,
  7.          7:25. Persecute the saints of the Most High" historians say this power has slain anywhere between 100 to 150 million people, from 535A.D.onwards. *N.B.*
  8.         7:25. "thinks to change times & laws" Yet God is the One who determines events
  9.         7:25 " removes kings and raises up kings,  Dan 2:21 has tried to change times by this means.Plus changing the day of worship from the Sabbath  7th day, to the first day of the week SUN-DAY
  10. Claiming power to modify divine law, "Since his power is not of man, but of God." [Promta Bibliotheca Vol VI,pp.25-29] Comparing the 10 Commandments and book of Catechism will show the 2nd [Exodus 20:4] Commandment is gone, and the 10th is split into two parts to remain 10!
  11. Exodus 20:8-11 changed from 94 words to only 8 words, in the same booklet
  12. Rev.13;2 "and the dragon gave his seat and great power" This city/State/nation, has now 180 nation's Embassies within her borders, plus a seat at the United Nations, only a supernatural power such as Satan, the dragon Rev.12:9, could be able to pull this off, agree?
  13. Rev.13:3. "all the world wondered after the beast" This power has his representatives in every nation on earth!
  14. Revelation 17:9  And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. Please remember a woman symbolic of the church, there are two Rev12:1-2, is Christ's Church, this one is the apostate church, sitting on seven hills, there's only ONE city of any import, that is built upon seven (7) hills.
  15.  Matthew 23:9. "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven."
  16.  1 Timothy 2:5. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;"  {Mary has no biblical part in mediation, she's asleep in Christ, just as David is.}

     That's 16 points of identification, and most people will already know who this "Little Horn Power" speaks to.

     Here's a few quotes from those who speaks for this system:   CATHOLIC [means Universal} Encyclopedia titled Promta Bibliotheca Vol. VI,pp.25-29:
"The Pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God, and the vicar of God. {A VICAR is one who acts in the place of another}

"The Pope is as it were God, on earth, sole sovereign of the faithful of Christ, chief of kings, having plenitude of power, to whom has been entrusted by the omnipotent God direction not only of the earthly but also of the heavenly kingdom."

"The pope is of so great authority and power that he can modify, explain, or interpret even divine laws."

    Please that word Catholic means Universal, now think Ecumenical, as in "One size fits all-- all religions are equal all are all truth? How can that be possible? If you have read/studied the post"God's Test of Loyalty," you'd know that the day we worship is set by God, not men, and it written through out the word about the importance for humans to keep this day, the Bible's Sabbath, as a Holy Day.

     Now each one of you, readers, may know which day, all your neighbors observe this day, and which day they go to their Church, right? Then you've seen their Mark, which is the knowledge of either God or of men within their foreheads, or on their hands by way of support in work or in money, being the mark of the foreheads or on their hands.

Thus the  M.O.B. mark of the Beast, in one's going to any church on any day other than the Sabbath!
Those who worship on the Sabbath have the mark of God in their foreheads! These who are faithful shall once again be open to the death degree so oft issued by Rome from 325 A.d. to 1798 AD. which are the 40 and two months, the 1206 days/years of Dan.7:25 based on Ezekiel 4:6 and Numbers 14:34 showing that for prophecy one day is one year! Based on the Hebrew moths of 30 day each Gen 7:24 and 8::3 being 150 days being equal to 5 months.
Times = 2 years or 720 days
Time = 1 year=360 day
Half Time = 1/2 year or 180 days + giving us 1260 years that this Little Horn would be in power.

It was, again Napoleon's General Berthier, who removed Nationhood from the Vatican and took the Pope prisoner in 1798. Then all Europe thought this was the end of the Papacy, but they allowed the Church to remain.

 Ecclesiastes 1:9 . "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun."

Those who refuse to obey the Papacy's edicts shall again face death!

Revelation 13:15. "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."

*NB* The Spanish Inquisition was not just in Spain but within the whole of the Catholic realm, in fact up to the 1890's in Peru. Read any of these books:
The history of the Reformation by D'Aubigne
History of Europe by Qualibin
 Foxe's Book of Martyrs by Foxe
Short Stories of the Reformation by Short
Here I Stand by Bainton

  Please allow me these quotes quote:  John 10:27. "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:"

   Revelation 18:4. "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

     As these two selections clearly show, it's not so much the people who follow these teachings, but the people who run these systems, that have taught falsely! this includes all her "Daughters" from within the so-called Reformation as you can see!

 Revelation 17:5 ."And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

      Can you say Ecumenical to the above?  The "New World Order" led by the same old Civil-Religious powers, of pre-1798 A.D. !  Remember Eccl.1:9? No new thing under the sun....?

GOD'S TEST of LOYALTY.

DOES GOD REALLY. . .HAVE SUCH A THING AS A LOYALTY TEST?

 READ on and .. . .  YOU. . . make the call!  YES or NO?

Acts 17:10-12. "And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.  These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Therefore many of them believed; also of honorable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few."

 Why did these believe"

"..and searched the scriptures, whether those things were so...."

      This is the reason why I say, "Never take the Words of men for the Word of God, check it out for yourself!"

 Daniel 12:4. "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased"

Knowledge has most certainly increased, even Biblical Knowledge, and it is proven by archeology, a science today.

.Revelation 13:3. "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast."

 As you've learned in Revolutions, Tyrants and Wars, this was caused by Napoleon's General Bertheir taking the Pope prisoner in 1798, who died three months latter, but they took control of this 114 Acre city/State, and it lost it's Nation standing, the Church remained however. The State part was lost to her. A deadly wound was healed in 1929 with a treaty between  Pietro Gasparri and  Benito Mussolini, 1852-1934 and 1883- 4/28/1945, respectively. The San Fransisco Chronicle's headline that day "The Deadly Wound is healed".

     You ask, "Why is this important?

Revelation 13:8. "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.'

     If yours or my names are NOT written in the Books of Life, then we are forever lost! Biblical  "Blotted Out", as if we never ever existed, period! We are removed even from the memories of all who have known us, that shall have eternal life! Heaven could not be otherwise, because how would a Mother feel, remembering her child, who is gone by way of the Second Death, and have this remembrance with her for all time? For a God that IS Love, this would be most cruel.

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

 John 3:21. "But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."

 Revelation 14:6-7. "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters"

     So what should be our foundation and bases for worship? {Do you see Exodus 20:8-11 in above?}

 Revelation 4:11. "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."


     Perhaps by now, you are asking, why all this much time in Revelation? Well, that's easy, it's full title is The Revelations of Jesus Christ. Plus it's the last book, and covers most of the end time events, that we are living within!
      Now has God given us a symbol of His Creative powers? Has he given us a refuge in this stress filled world? Plus has He given humanity a sign of His creative authority?

     Oh, Yes He has, deep within "The Decalogue" in the heart of the Ten Commandments, He has placed His symbol of His Authority, within the Royal law, the Law of Liberty!

Exodus 20:8-11. "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Have you ever seen the Presidential Seal? Does it not contain the Name:  the Office, and the Territory?
Title=  Name of:  Office= President: Territory: United States of America, right? Well read above again...
Title: LORD   Office: God/Creator/Maker:  Territory Heaven and Earth. is this not a Seal of Office? His Authority?

     So when did God establish this Sabbath day?

 Genesis 2:1-3. "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made"


     CREATION WEEK: DAYS 1-6 /24 hours each, GOD CREATED, THEN THE 7TH DAY
HE RESTED ON IT
HE BLESSED IT
HE SANCTIFIED IT  [set aside for a Holy Purpose} 

   Is man or men able to make anything Holy?  NO! Only those who are Holy Themselves, can make something else Holy, only the Godhead is able, no human is able, period!!{Men can only ask for something to be blessed}

     Did God make the Sabbath only for the Jews or Israelite s?   NO!

 Acts 17:26. "And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;"

 Mark 2:27. "And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:'

    The Sabbath was and is God's gift to you and me, so that one one day, one 24 hour span of time, we can relax, gather together to worship, to enjoy fellowships, and to learn more about our Father and the Son, both who work through the Holy Spirit.. It's our Father's love gift to the entire human race.

Exodus 31:17."It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed."

Ezekiel 20:12. "Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them"

     So tell me, would He still feel the need to sanctify . . YOU. . . . if you worship on the 6th day or as most on the 1st day of the week?
     How would you feel if those you love, celebrated your birthday one day sooner? Or your wedding anniversary? OR?

    I for one am grateful, for a 24 hour span of time, to unplug from the world, and have the chance to learn more about our Father and Savior, how about you? Is there a burden you'd love for Jesus to carry, for you,
 or to remove it ? Help is not ever more than a prayer away, or do you ignore your child's cry for help? We all are His children, remember?

    Do you know that science, in which most practitioners dismiss God, have found that most life forms, have a natural life cycles, that peak on each Friday at sunset, right through the Sabbath until sunset Saturday? Can you think of the WHY?  Besides............look at this verse..........

 John 14:15. "If ye love me, keep my commandments."

  Now does this verse say, "..keep those you agree with?."  or "...keep those which you've been taught..."? or does it say, ",,,keep the only the day most people choose.."?  OR, does it say "...keep the day chosen by popular Church leaders?''

 Why DO YOU think the 4th begins with the word "Remember"? No other does so, right?  WHY?

    What does the Bible say about breaking any one law?

 Matthew 5:19. "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven"

 James 2:10. "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."


     Many ask, or interject, "We don't know which day of the week is the Sabbath! Well they know not the Biblical Hebrew! They DID NOT name the days of the week, neither did God's Word, other than the ONE DAY, Sabbath."Sun"- day was called the first day after the Sabbath, "Moon"-day was the 2nd day after the Sabbath and so on until "Frye" day which was/is called Preparation Day, because it was the day of house cleaning, and precooking the Sabbath meals. All man named days are named after gods!Thus Sabbath could/should be a day of rest from all labor, unless for mercy's sake, human or animal.

 Genesis 2:2-3. "And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made."

     Is there in the heavens any time span movements that accounts for our 7 day week? The month we arrived at due to the Lunar cycles, the day from earth's spin on its axis, and the year from earth's travel around the Sun, but only God gave us the seven day week!

    Really, all we need is too look at the way nearly ALL Calendars are set up, right? Which day is the SEVENTH DAY, and which is the FIRST DAY,  on YOUR calendar?

    However, please let's go to the ONLY source of AUTHORITY, on religious matters, shall we?

Exodus 16:23-27. "And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning. And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein. And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field. Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none. And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none."

    This was the Manna, Angel's food, that our Heavenly Father supplied them with during the 40 years of Exodus in the dessert!

 Exodus 16:28. "And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?"

     Many have asked, "Why, place such import on a day"?
     OK, let's put it into a practical way, the Sabbath is found within God's Law, the 4th in fact, out of ten total, right? YOU and, I have 10, ten fingers and ten toes, (hopefully) so which one DO YOU WANT TO HAVE CUT-OFF? Why do you hold each finger or toe, to be so valuable, you still have the other nine of each, right?

Luke 23:52-56."This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment."


    Prayerfully, YOU have by now learned that Fridays are known as Preparation days, "..and they returned, and prepared spices..... and rested on the Sabbath day..."  Most know and many celebrate the day of the Crucifixion on a Friday, { "Good Friday") and know that Christ "rested" laid in His tomb, the next day, the Sabbath, and arose before dawn on the the{ 3rd day} being the  1st day of the week, the day of the Sun! So even in death Jesus "RESTED" on the Sabbath!

     Yet there's more!

     Please turn to Exodus 20:8-11, in your Bibles.

 Exodus 20:8-11. "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it."

    Can you not see God's "Seal of Office" here, Name, Title Territory? But this still goes deeper yet!

 Exodus 31:13. "Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you."

  • "...a sign between me and you...."  In God's Word a "sign", a "mark" are interchangeable, so why are Sabbaths so important? Read Revelation 13:16-17. This is commonly known as the "Mark of the Beast"
 Revelation 13:15-17. "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."

    I hope that all can deduce from the above passage, that there shall be but two camps of human beings, those that follow the human teachings, of men, and those who follow the Words of God! Please know, the Beast is but a symbol, of "Power System," of human beings, who have taken Satan's side. This Revelation 13 onwards makes it plain! Especially .....

 Revelation 18:1-5  And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.  And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

Emphasis are mine.

     This then MUST cause anyone with any intellectual honesty,  TO ASK. . .who changed this because God wrote it in Stone for permanence, right? Please also know, that there is NOT one verse, nor even the SLIGHTEST hint that we must celebrate Sun-day because Christ rose from the tomb on that day, within God's Word, anywhere! It's purely a man made day.

QUESTION: "Can men/man make a common day holy and make a holy day common?" Sabbaths to Sun-days?

Isaiah 66:22-23. "For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD."

     This time frame is AFTER the Millennium's 1,000 years, thus ALL those in Heaven follow the Christ's Sabbaths, would it make sense to change it here on earth since 321 A.D. and then. . . .;THEN BACK AGAIN?  yes or no?

Leviticus 23:3. "Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings."

    Yes, many think "This is only for the Jews, agree? So to whom is this next verse directed at?

 Matthew 12:8. "For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.'

      These are Christ's words, so to who was this ultimately addressed to, but to all who believe in HIM, right?

Exodus 31:15 . "Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death."

Do you dear reader, think that YOU are not worth your efforts to find out the truth about the Sabbath, in view of the last verse?

Next who or what is today's Babylon, and the M.O.B. Mark of the Beast, the what the why,  and the how.

BIBLICAL PROPHCY- "The Most Sought After Secret in the Bible"

     THERE are a great many prophecies in God's Word, 50, in Jeremiah alone!

     Sadly many just do not accept them, so I ask, if about 3/4 of all prophecies have come to pass, as written, and shown by history, what makes YOU think the last 1/4 will not happen?

Can you begin to see why Biblical Prophecy is the most sought after Bible's Secret?

Acts 2:47. "Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved."

    According to Time magazine some years ago, they wrote that new religious groups are exploding. They wrote of, "the church of the Four Leaf Clover, Church of the Fuller Concept, and the Psychedelic Venus church, as well as Soul-craft Inc.Did this make you ask, "What are they doing?" Is it NOT a confusing mess? I mean no disrespect but. . .Christian Science, when science says there is no God?

Confusing?

   I fully expect the grocery stores to begin featuring "Billy Grahams" and or "Presbyterian Muffin Flakes" any day now.  Does God have a people on earth today called "His Church"?

THE END of Religious Controversy"  "There is but one inquiry to be made, namely, which is the true church.....By solving this one question you will at once solve every question of religious controversy that has ever been or that ever can be agitated."

      Would you agree, at any level, that there's a hunger to know and discover truth? A hunger for genuine Christianity?
     Have you ever wondered, how can I find the truth, the Real honest to God, Truth?

 1 Timothy 3:15. "But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth."

    God, via the Holy Spirit, made sure that His truth was put to paper, for you and me, but which Church, as they are all under the controls of men, right?

 John 8:32. "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

 John 7:17. "If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself."

    AS AN ETERNAL TRUTH:   You do not go to any Church to find the truth, you go to the Holy Bible to find truth!   [Only leaders of apostasy will give argument to this, agree?]

     When you have found enough of God's truth, to know truth, when you hear and read it, then go and find a church that TEACHES GOD'S TRUTH!
   Sadly, many go to the nearest church, from their homes. Remember this verse...

 Ephesians 4:4-6. "There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."

      Please know this fact: "Not all churches teachings are according to God's Word!"  But, the ONE God has a church how can I find it? Throughout the centuries God had had men and Women who have been faithful to Him.

 Genesis 26:5. "Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."

 Deuteronomy 7:6. "For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth."

 Deuteronomy 7:7. "The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:"

 Deuteronomy 7:9 " Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;"

 Haggai 1:12. "Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD"

 Romans 11:4-5. "But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace."

     The word "REMNANT" means that which remains and is the same as the original.  Most of us know that Satan's object of attack is God's Church, the remnant, right? He already has all the others, those who reject or ignore him or worship Him knowingly,  but falsely! Satan turned his wrath on the woman the one in White [Rev.12:1-2.] Symbolic of His Church.

From: "Development of Christian Doctrine" p. 372
     "We are told by Eusebius that Constantine, in order to recommend the new religion to the heathen, transferred into it the outward ornaments to which they had been accustomed in their own."
    They had been used to their "religious Leaders wearing Scarlet and Purple attire.


CENTURIES OF CHRISTIANITY: A CONCISE HISTORY P.58
    "The new Christians were, as far as thinking and habits went, the same old pagans.... Their surge into the churches did not wipe out paganism. On the contrary, hordes of baptized pagans meant that paganism had diluted the moral energies of organized Christianity to the point impotence."

CHURCH HISTORY, CENTURY 2, CH.2 SECTION  7.
      "Christianity became an established religion in the Roman Empire and took the place of paganism....Christianity as it existed in the Dark Ages might be termed Baptized Paganism"

A statue in point?  Under the Roman Caesars the seated statue of Jupiter became a statue of St. Peter! Even  including the solar wheel over his head, and the ledge in front of its feet, has been worn down by hands and lips, of the believers, over the 1000's of years

"HISTORY OF THE EASTERN CHURCH" P184

 Arthur P. Stanley says, "His [Constantine's] coins bore on the one side the letters of the name of Christ; on the other side the figure of the sun-god... as if he could not dare to relinquish the patronage of the bright luminary."

      It was during this time 321A.D. this age of compromise the Pagan's day of the sun replaced the Bible's Sabbath.

 {IBID} "The retention of the Pagan name of 'Dies Solis,' or Sunday. . .is, in great measure owing to the union of Pagan and Christian sentiment with which the first day of the week was recommended by Constantine to his subjects, Pagan and Christian alike, as the 'Venerable Day of the Sun'."

 In most these the oldest of churches, you'll find the sun disc as part of the altar's embellishments, among other symbolic items.

STEPS TO COMPROMISE: TRADITION over the Bible.
                                           : PENANCES ideas of men,  GOD said repent{to turn away from sins]
                                           : INDULGENCES  sins on the credit card, prepaid sins via money1
                                           : IMAGES Christ figures on a Cross, statues
                                           : Church Hierarchy  infallible
                                           Human Dogmas over Bible doctrines.

 GREATEST                         SATAN'S                         GOD'S
 ISSUES         VS.           COUNTERFEIT        VS.            TRUTH

Authority                       Church Council;                    God's Word
 Prayer                              Images                                Holy Spirit

   Do you dear reader, know that of the over 200 tongues on earth plus many more dialects, some 80 languages have their word for Saturday, as their word for REST /Sabbath means rest! How come?


The FOUNDATION of the DIVINE SYSTEM:

  • the authority of God
  • the Word of God
  • the love of God
  • the law of God
  • the teachings of God
The FOUNDATION of the BABYLONIAN SYSTEM:
  •   the Authority of man /men
  • the words of men/man
  • the works of men/man
  • the law of men/man
  • the traditions of men/man
  • the Union of Church and State, used Civil powers to enforce church degree's.

    Revelation 12:6. ":And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days."

{prophetic time = one day for one year Ezekiel 4;16- NUMBERS 14::34 OR 1260 YEARS DAN. 9:25  start date from degrees by Cyrus Ezra 1:1-4 and by Darius Ezra 6:1-12 and Ezra 7:12-13 by Artexeres in 457 B.C.to 1798 A.D

     This IS, the 1260 days/years time span, and sadly there was, and still is but one "HORN", one power system of men, that fits into this span of time, leading humanity for 1260 years of Religious Persecution. Yet, faithful men and women of God kept the lamp of truth burning, during this time!

    DOES IT SURPRISE. . . YOU. . . THAT GOD'S WORD, SHOWS DETAILS OF HUMAN RELIGIOUS ERROR, EVEN APOSTASY'S?  Remember HE uses only truth and  love, if the ones . . .YOU. . love,  are in error, would you not attempt to gently correct????

Jude 1:3. "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints."

      Ever heard of the Waldensian' s? They had the Holy Bible, from which they made many copies, and shared them clandestinely, because during much of this time span, a person carrying even one copied verse from the Holy Bible, could put then at the stake to be burned to death! They were not the only people, who put their very lives at risk, to keep the Holy Word alive before humanity! They included the Huguenots, in fact, in 1179 the Waldensians moved to Rome, where they continued to preach  and, teach the Bible. Even after Pope Alexander 3rd, forbade them to do either, without the local Authorities, the clergy,'s written approveal. This they refused.
 
     Declared as heretics by Pope Lucias 3rd in 1184 A.D. at the Synod of Verona and again by Pope Innocent 3rd in the 4th Lateran Council in 1215. In Strasbourg Germany in 1211, more than 80 Waldensians were burned at the town's stake! During the following centuries they were nearly exterminated!

    The Huguenots fared even worse, began by Resancon Hugues a religious leader and politician who dies in 1532A.D. by the 1,500's they, all 200,000 were driven out of France. IN the that year on a FRIDAY 13TH. . ..they were rounded up in one city, and 50,000 were put to death, men, woman, children, babes, old folks, all died, because they felt the need to follow the Holy Bible, Rome deemed them heretics in need of death!

    Then this led to the Reformers, Hus, Calvin, Luther,  John Wycliffe 1328-1384, who died as a prisoner on the way to London Eng. in chains. he was buried and 40 years later, a Pope ordered his body exhumed, and the bones burned, and his ashes dumped in the river! {Guess they thought that'll teach'em!}

Source: Wikipedia, Waldenses- Huguenots, Wycliffe.

    One POINT of Interest: Charles King of France, on his way, with a army, to take Martin Luther, to be burned, was saved because the Ottoman Empire's army stood at the very gates of Vienna, Austria, and had to be stopped! Was that simply an accident, or God's providence?

    Does the Bible give us a reason or reasons for this persecution against fellow Christians?   YES!

Revelation 12:17. "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."


    Please make note of the words "Remnant", and "Woman" as the woman is symbolic of the Church, but there are two women and two types of churches, under the 'Christian' label.

Revelation 12:1-2. "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:  And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered."


 White-- symbolic of purity, agree?

 Revelation 17:1-5. "And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:  And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH"

 Who would or could confuse this woman, as being pure? She represents the apostate church, and as a mother, her daughters are also apostate churches, because they are unfaithful in their worship and doctrines, because they are of men.Please note the color of her garments, and who else wears these colors with pomp and pride?

Daniel 7:25. "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: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."

   It will be of a great benefit to you, readers, if you read this 7th chapter of Daniel, perhaps it will entice you to read the of Daniel, and compare it the man's historic records of empires in that region, knowing the Bible came first!

     So does God have His Church yet today? The Bible's got the answer.

  • 1 The remnant shall arise after 1798 [Napoleon captured and disbanded the nation of the Vatican)

 Revelation 14:6-7. "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."

  • 2 It preaches the everlasting Gospel

 Revelation 14:12. "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."

  • 3 It will preach loyalty to ALL of God's Commandments,[ not just 9 or 8. ]
Genesis 2:3. "And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made."

 Exodus 20:8-11. "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it."

  • 4 It keeps the 7th Day Sabbath

 Revelation 14:7. "Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."

     and----THE 2300 YEARS....
                                                
 457B.C.and; 34AD.+ 2300 years brings us to1844 AD.to the end as we know it. {When is unknowable to men] Judgement of all the the dead began in 1844, and continues .....


  • 5 it teaches the hour of God's Judgment has come

1 Corinthians 6:19-20. "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."

1 Corinthians 10:31. "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God"

  • 6 Gives God the glory via His health message

.Revelation 14:9-10. "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:"

  •  # 7 Warns world of the Mark of the Beast [M.O.B.]

 Revelation 12:17. "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

Revelation 19:10. "And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

Revelation 12:17 . ".....and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

      Ok, you ask, "What is the Testimony of Jesus Christ?"

 Revelation 19:10. "...for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.."

     Can you not see, by God's own Word, that His, last day church, would keep His commandments and have the gift of prophecy?

  • #8, have the gift of Prophecy.

 Revelation 14:13."And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them."

 Ecclesiastes 9:5. "For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten."
Psalms 115:17. "The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence."
 Psalms 6:5. "For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?"
 John 5:28-29. "Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation"

  •  #9. Teaches the truth about death being but a sleep until the Resurrection.

      As you've just learned that you will find the TRUTH in God's Word!

 Revelation 14:14. "And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle."

  • #10 Teaches the truth about Christ's Second Coming, [not as a secret!]
Revelation 14:8. "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"

.Revelation 18:1-4. "And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.  And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

    The under lining is mine, for emphasis.Please take heed!

  • 11 Calls people to come out of Babylon/Confusion- false teachings.
TO WHOM IS THIS MESSAGE?

Revelation 14:6-7."And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."

Matthew 24:14. "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."

  •  #12 it must be a world-wide church, a World-wide message     
     God has many faithful Christians in other churches, and since He has only one Remnant, what will happen to these faithful servants?

John 10:16. "And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd."

 Ephesians 4:5. "One Lord, one faith, one baptism,"

     Sorry but God's Church is NOT in the majority, we can't base truth upon a majority vote, as all are sinners, and ALL are in need of a Savior, Jesus Christ is only, able none other! Truth, seldom wins a popularity contest, thus God's Church is NOT the most popular.
    Nor are they the most splendid nor spectacular, as God values truth above all architecture, nor does it need nor seeks approval from popular 'religious leaders'!

    TRUTH is TRUTH, even if religious leaders accept it or not!
Therefore the Holy Bible is TRUTH, and only the TRUTH, thus the Bible and the Bible ONLY! All else must be in support, a lesser light

Hebrews 11:7. "By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith"

John 10:27. "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:"

 Proverbs 4:18. "But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day."

 Acts 2:47. "Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved"

 Acts 5:29. "Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men."

    We ought to obey God rather than men. . .  WHY?
 Can man or men save them selves, or even . . . YOU. . .?  NO! to both!

Sorry for the length, it's a life or death issue, both can be eternal, choose with wisdom.
