WHY DO WE HURT? WE DO NOT ASK!

THIS IS A FOCUS ON MATTHEW 23-25..

     IF  you have read Matthew 23,  you'll have learned the why many call this the SEVEN WOES TO THE SCRIBES AND THE PHARISEES. Plus Christ made a very bold statement...>

    Matthew 23:36-38. " Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate."

DESOLATE: from the Greek word Eremos meaning waste, wilderness,, and today in it's place stands the Dome of the Rock, an Islamic Temple built in the 700-800, A.D.

       Leaving the Temple He told this to the 12, as they overlooked Jerusalem, and ...>Matthew 24:1-3  "And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 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?"

    Now please know, that to the Jews at this time, the temple was their emotional center for their nation, so they asked Him the three questions! So how did Jesus answer them?

  Matthew 24:4. "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you."
Jesus told them "Let NO MAN deceive!"  In view of their questions, a rather odd answer, right? But pray tell, and notice His reason....>

Matthew 24:5  . "For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many."
  This is a new thing, as this has NOT EVER happened, until the post 1900's, where we have phony  Jesus' claiming to be Jesus Christ, during  the same time as...>
Matthew 24:6-8. "And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows."

   Now honestly are we not there today? A quick check with the U.S. Geological Department, will allow you to see, that from 1900-- 1990 we have had as many 6 or greater on the Richter Scale, as earth had from 1990- 2000, and we have far more 8 and above earthquakes since 1990, than at any recoded times before!

Matthew 24:24. "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."

ELECT: Eklectos- meaning chosen- Favorite- elect.Remember God has chosen each one of us to be saved, but we must also chose Him through Christ His Son!
So what about these "Great signs and wonders"? Well now just what do YOU, dear reader,  think about all the reports about those wispy images of Mary? Or all those Carved Idols/Statues, that bleed blood or purest olive oil? Do you think that God is into these gimmicks? No my friends, this and the earth';s upheavals are the workings of the ruler of this earth, Satan!

Now think you, that people who study, and not just read the Holy Bible, so they know God's truth, will be deceived by Satan's lies? Or those whom he has recruited to serve him? Those who have gained "Overnight" wealth and success, and then when they were of no more use, cast aside, they kill themselves?

Matthew 25:1. "Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom."
Bible's Virgins-- those who never sough out man's religions, ans stayed with the Bible's doctrines.
Lamps-- The Words of God the Holy Bible.Psalm 119:105
Matthew 25:2-4. "And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps"
OIL--- the Holy Spirit Zech. 4:2-6
 Zechariah 4:2-6  And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:  And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord? Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts."

So how do we receive the Holy Spirit? 1. Accepting Christ as your personal Savior. Prayerful study of the Word, and then......>

 Luke 11:13  If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

"....THAT ASK HIM? "

Matthew 12:13. "Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other."

Many have heard of the New World Order, or the One World Government, right? Well this this passage, goes along with that.....>
John 16:2-3. "They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me."
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"

Remember the Dark Ages, of western Europe? "Worship as I say or die"! .was the order for many centuries, when Church and State worked as one! They shall do so again! As this church leadership, still stand on their own traditions and laws!

Matthew 25:6. "And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him."
The Bridegroom--is Jesus Christ on His returning to earth, while not ever putting down his feet upon earth.
Matthew 25:7-12. "Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.  But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not."

Most have not ever been taught, thus never learned to ask for the Holy Spirit to come in and guide us, right? This IS the oil for our life-lamps, in order to see, the Bible's meanings more clearly!
YET the Most important part, and the reasons for our asking for the Holy Spirit to be within us, is to stop the DECEPTIONS FROM WITHIN US! 1  Most of us think were A OK with Christ right, because we think we do good for others,  once in a while?
 Revelation 7:14  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.

Thank you for your time.

THE SCIENCE of ARCHAEOLOGY and THE HOLY BIBLE.

   MOST just know not, that this branch of Science, is relatively new, since only about the 1890's, were standards set, and followed, insuring the honesty of a find! Please know, that if something is not yet found, does NOT mean, it does not exist, agree?

  MOST. again, do not know, that there's not ever been anything found, that disproves any part of God's Word. To the contrary, the professionals use the Bible, as a guide, and a source, if you will, to find a referenced person, peoples, or place.

  Many, of the finds, in archaeological discoveries have substantiated both events and people written of in the Holy Bible! There is for examples:
Egypt's invasion of Israel in 1 Kings 14:25.     The Assyrian Siege of Lachish in 2 Kings 18-19 chapters.
Or the trade relationship between Israel and the Queen of Sheba- 1 Kings 10. The Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem; and the reigns of Kings- Omri, Ahab, Uzziah, Hezekiah, Ahaz, Jeroboam 11, and Jehoichin in 1 and 2 Kings, all have been confirmed by archaeology. Plus the Dead Sea Scrolls, which shows there was no change in the Old Testament messages, up to and just passed the birth of Christ.

    These are proof positive that the Holy Bible is just what it claims to be, the Word of God the Creator of all things and life forms!

    This is to my knowledge, the only, repeat ONLY branch of Science, to do so, all other branches dismiss God altogether, much to their loss!

Thank YOU for your studies.

P.S. Out in the world, many accuse of of being a Cult, but the definition of a cult is that such an organization totally centers on the total focus of one person, but we are just the opposite, as we send our representatives, from each congregation, to our Local Conference headquarters, for election purposes, each conference in turn sends elected reps, to the national conference, and each nation send its reps to the International Conference, which then votes on new policies, if any, or new doctrines if any! This shows we are a BOTTOM UP, AND NOT A TOP DOWN ORGANIZATION. Unlike all other Denominations, right?

Yes, I also have read, that we worship Satan, indulge in cannibalism, and drink human blood! By the way, all of these traits we are accused of, are totally against the Holy Bible directions! We are for the most of us total Vegans, as per Genesis 1:29...>

Genesis 1:29. "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."

God is our Creator, and by being our Maker, He knows what is best kinds of fuel for our bodies, right?

The RISE OF THE ONE WOLRD GOVERNMENT and RELIGION.

Revelation 13:12-13. "And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,"

Note: This deadly wound, occurred in 1798, by  the French General under Napoleon, by the name of Berthier, who took the Vatican by force of arms, arrested the Pope, and removed her Sovereignty as a Nation.
     The San Fransisco Chronicle of that day, when Gasparri and Benito Mussolini, signed the Lateran Treaty in 1929, restoring her again as a Sovereign Nation, again. this paper's headlines said, "The Deadly Wound is Healed!"

    So, you may ask, what has this got to do with me?

   
Revelation 13:3-4. "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.  And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?"

   So, you might still ask, "What's that got to do with me"?

Revelation 13:14-18. "And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 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. 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."

NOTE: Please take a hard look at this: "This IS against the Roman system, the Powers that run and are in full control of the church, it's rulers if you will. This IS NOT against this who follow it's teachings, believing them to to be the very Word of God, and this church shall have many parishioners of hers, in Heaven!

Let's unzip the parts in red above, shall we?
1  Rome used to use the old "Triple Crown" when they elected a New Pope [Latin for FATHER*]
2. They stopped using it many years ago because of the information given below....
3 On this Crown is written these words:  VICARIUS FILII DEI  Latin for Vicar for God [Christ]
4, Most also know of the Roman Numerals  in the which letters stand for a particular number, right?

So read these from top to the bottom and from left to right and find a number of a man!

V............ 5              F........     0            D..........500
I............. 1              I .......      1            E.........      0
C........100               L ......    50            I.........       1
A .......     0              I ............  1          ------------------
R .......     0              I ...........   1                         501
I .........     1              --------------                      112
U ..........   5                           53                            53
S ...........   0  ..                                               ------------------                                         
---------------------                                                  666 THE NUMBER OF A MAN Yet please know
            112                                               Satan is an Angel, fallen yes, but NOT A MAN!
  Yes, it says  in red above, that is the number of a man, but there have been many Popes, but each is just a man, and each ruled as as Supreme!

Revelation 14:9. "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,"

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."

As it was From 100A.D to the 18th Century, Rome and her allies, said worship as I say or die! Now still yet TODAY, she claims the the power to judge what is heresy,  and she then still claims the power, to kill all heretics, as she did during all the Dark Age {Revelation 13:15}

Revelation 13:16. "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:"

       No, this is not any visible mark, beyond any person's character, shown by their live-style and actions and words! It's not a tattoo, nor chip, nor card, but it IS where ONE' s Loyalties lie. Whom they bow down to worship, God, or Man's church, and on God's day, the Bible Sabbath or on man's day the day of the Venerable Sun -day!
    If any feel that this is not truth, nor historical honesty just what think YOU, the meaning if this verses..>
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."
Historical time frame? 538 A.D. to 1798 is 1260 years [Numbers 14:34 + Ezekiel 4:6 -one day for a  prophetic year]

Revelation 12:15. "And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood."
Note: A flood of lies, deceptions and counterfeit doctrines;;{ There is NOT one verse in God's Word, about a change for a day of worship, nor any hint that Mary has been resurrected, and now in heaven, WITH ALL THE OTHER DEAD PERSONS!.  {UNTIL RESURRECTION MORNING WITH CHRIST'S RETURN!}

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, all readers, take the last verse to heart! ONLY Christ has the power to save anyone, no man. nor men, nor Church is able. They can't even save themselves, as all shall be destroyed by Christ, at His return!

THE CRY OF ALL NONBELIEVERS IN CHRIST SHALL.......>
Revelation 6:16-17. "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?"
THE CRY OF THE ALL BELIEVERS IN CHRIST SHALL CRY...>
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."

Most have heard about the tribulations still to come, right? Well read Revelation 7:1-17.
Please know, that today April 2013, we are in  the time frame of verse 4, one the 3rd Seal, when there shall be a great shortage of food, as a normal wage for the days of John, was a penny a day, so this means it will take all a man or woman earns each day just to buy food. With the world's economy as it is, can you not see this coming?
   This verse, as in much of the Bible, it is nit written in chronological order, as VS12,13 are already in the past, Lisbon earthquake, the Blood red Moon {1700's] and the Stars fell from heaven was in the 1800's where papers reported that it was so bright, with all the meteors burning up in our air, that it was printed that it was light enough to read a newspaper at 3 am.
  Vs 5 has been ongoing since the mid 1800's beginning with all dead, and then those whom have passed each moment since. Yet all the woes of this Revelation Book shall be dovetailed together beginning with...>

Revelation 16:2. "And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshiped his image."

Revelation 16:11. "And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds."

Note: Upon whom. . . .Did this fall upon?
Well we can be certain, that none of these woes shall come unto anyone within whom Christ ' s love rules, so they shall fall upon all these who reject Him or worship Him on their human terms!

Matthew 12:8. "For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day."
But you say which day is that? Let the Bible tell you OK?
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."

NOTE: All you need to do is to look at your calendar to see which day is the Seventh day, and which is  the first day , of the week, right?
