Christianity and Movies

Now to get this out of the way. Yes, I watch movies. I have to fill some time not studying the Word. Does this mean I am sinning, most likely and I ask God’s forgiveness as well.

First and foremost. There is no such thing as a “Christian movie.” There are inspirational movies and these are the worst type of movies someone who calls themselves “Christian” should ever watch. Why this is, is because “inspirational” is equal to people pleasing. Therefore, those that make them and work within them fall into the curses given by the Holy Spirit within the following verses:

Galatians 1:6-10 NKJV – I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

Now we can get into the next part, for these verses have opened that door.

With the statement: “I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.”

The movies industry, which was and may still be primarily run by Jews, was never designed to help Christianity. In fact it was designed and still is designed to turn people away from God and the Lord’s teachings.

People will turn to many examples that are out there. “The Ten Commandments” (1956), “Ben Hur” (1959), “King of Kings” (1961). In recent times movies like “Hacksaw Ridge” (2016), and “Son of God” (2014)

The Ten Commandments script adds to the Word of God.

Deuteronomy 4:2 NKJV – You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

The entire Bible is God’s command unto to those that profess to be His children.

Ben Hur was a book written by a Civil War veteran, and is more of an exploration of one man’s journey to coming to worship God through Jesus Christ. However, it is very Jewish in its content in the early verses. The latest was some trip into fantasy land.

King of Kings is totally Catholic in its content and doesn’t accurately depict the four gospels and so is twice cursed, which may explain why it’s star fell down a flight of stairs breaking his neck and dying.

As for Hacksaw Ridge the protagonist is a Jehovah Witness. Which is another theme that is found within movies. They use religions that are more like cults instead of using other denomination which teach that salvation can be lost. Does this mean in real life the protagonist wasn’t born-again? No. All evidence points to the opposite of this.

This is also true when looking at the movie “Keys to the Kingdom” (1944), which is the story of a Catholic priest and missionary. So I will make this very clear. There are few within all denomination that qualify as followers of Christ. But they are the exception, not the rule, which is extremely sad.

The movie Son of God is a people pleaser movie and is full of errors, and teachings,that all that is required is faith alone, which is not taught by the Word of God.

James 2:26 NKJV – For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

One of the greatest signs that movies are against Christianity is the mere fact that those that make these movies allow things within them that people take for granted and thus emulate and copy it because if its in the movies it has to be good. Remember those that made them and make them are atheist for the most part. Those that make inspirational movies I have already addressed, but back on track. If those making them don’t acknowledge God nor Jesus Christ as their Savior. How can be what is seen in them something a “Christian” should emulate?

You can’t.

Movies that show certain behaviors associated with people professing to being “Christian” needs to take what is shown and do the complete opposite.

A prime example of this is open and group pray given by a person of the cloth. When the Bible makes if VERY clear where prayer should occur:

Matthew 6:5-6 NKJV – “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

“Well what about: Acts 1:14 NKJV – These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.”

Someone just protested.

Oh, you mean when Peter didn’t wait for the Pentecost and took it upon Himself to convince the rest of the apostles and Christ’s mother to enter into sin by overriding the commandment given to them in Matthew 6:5-6? Is that what you use as an anchor to live in sin?

Then go ahead and continue to do so.

The only place that that Word of God has any bearing in your life is found by studying the Word of God. Not reading. Studying. There is a HUGE difference. Knowing what the words meant when they were first written down on parchment does more for your salvation and your sanctification then anything else.

Just because you accept Christ as your Savior. Your responsibility in the relationship with Christ doesn’t end there. This is one of the greatest misconceptions that is also shown within movies. Christ Himself makes it clear that salvation can and will be lost:

John 15:1-6 NKJV  “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

To abide in Christ is accomplished by seeking sanctification, which can only be accomplished by studying the Word of God and leaving the world behind. Movies mimic the world. Christians are told this:

Romans 12:1-2 NKJV – I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Whatever the world loves you shouldn’t be doing. What the world loves is shown in movies so no one that professes to following Christ should try and do what is done in movies.

I Don’t Want to Lie

bible, Bible study, Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, , , , , , , , Leave a comment

I don’t want to lie. This was one reason I believe the Holy Spirit led me to stop making my podcasts. The Lord didn’t say not to keep my Blog going which is why time to time I still post these messages.

I don’t know when. For no human can know when the Lord will begin the tribulation. However, the Holy Spirit did give us signs to look for, and at this time all those bullet points have been fulfilled. Therefore, I know with confidence that at any moment the tribulation will begin.

Now why make the statement: “I don’t want to lie?”

The answer. Those who I was to reach with my ministry. My ministry was never to bring people to Christ. For we are all given different tasks to do by the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 12:1-11 NKJV – Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led. Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

My task handed to me was to help to bring those that profess to being “Christian” yet they don’t live their lives by following Christ’s commandments, back to the fold.

It failed. Their ability to change their ways was removed from them all by their own choices and behavior. Simply they removed it themselves. Why it ended was due to the fact that the midnight cry occurred. If you want to know when it occurred, check out my past blog posts and if you wish my podcasts by just doing a search on whatever podcast platform you use and do a search for “dreamwalker1960.”

But when the midnight cry occurred those that call themselves “Christian” yet still live in the world showed that they are the foolish virgins or bridesmaids. These lukewarm have made their choice, and as is made clear in the parable they still seek after playing at being “Christian.” However, their fate has already been sealed.

Matthew 25:10-12 NKJV – And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’

Therefore, continuing to preach to the lukewarm is a waste of time for they are to be left behind.

There are those that due to the midnight cry have accepted Christ. I can only hope that my messages time to time can help someone that has come to accept Christ as their Savior. But I will not hold my breath.

I even watch those that had shown promise, from my prospective, start chasing after mammon. Thus, showing their true colors and all I can do is bow my head in sorrow. Just reinforcing the reason why the Holy Spirit led me away from making any further podcasts.

I continue to pray that at any moment the trumpets will blow and yet they still haven’t occurred. Right now, as this new year begins I don’t see it happening any time soon, but what do I know. I must just rely upon God.

“I Don’t Want to Die!”

bible, Bible study, Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, Thoughts, , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

These are words I have heard in many forms. In movies, on TV shows, from people I know. These words say volumes about the life of the person saying it. About the people that wrote the scripts that form the movies and shows. What is worse in those I personally know, especially from those that profess to being a follower of Jesus Christ.

The moment I hear these words, even when they are not the exact words, especially from someone that professes to being a child of God through Jesus Christ I want to weep.

Why weep? Those reading this just ask, because the moment these words leave their lips we see where their hearts truly are. That their hearts are here not with God. If they were with God then they would show it as the Bible makes very clear.

2 Corinthians 5:1-8 NKJV – For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

“We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.”

Any who are truly one with God welcome death. Not to the point of seeking to commit suicide. For we know we all have been given duties we must fulfill if we are to stand proudly in His presence. If we are still here within this temporal plain of existence, we know we are in two forms. We either haven’t fulfilled our duties given to us by God through Jesus Christ or we aren’t listening to Him through the Holy Spirit and are living in sin and must repent.

It is the latter that end up saying the words: “I don’t want to die.”

The moment I hear these words I weep. For I know that those that say them. They are not welcome in heaven. The only reason they don’t want to die is because they too know this truth within themselves but have refused to accept this Truth on a conscious level. That is until it is too late which is why they end up saying in some form “I don’t want to die.”

I relish the coming of the Lord. I so yearn to be in the presence of God, yet I hold out and wait. Impatiently waiting but waiting all the same for God has not yet told His Son to begin the tribulation. Even though we are seeing the signs that He is soon to come, for the midnight cry has been heard, which was the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk.

Do you seek to be with God or are you saying to yourself “I don’t want to die?”

Discussion

In Ephesians chapter five the Bible says this about how to live a “Christian Lifestyle.”

Ephesians 5:1-15 – Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. 2 Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God. 3 Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God’s people. 4 Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes—these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God. 5 You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. 6 Don’t be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the anger of God will fall on all who disobey him. 7 Don’t participate in the things these people do. 8 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! 9 For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true. 10 Carefully determine what pleases the Lord. 11 Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them. 12 It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret. 13 But their evil intentions will be exposed when the light shines on them, 14 for the light makes everything visible. This is why it is said, “Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light.” 15 So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise.

Now we must remember that these letters that form that majority of the New Testament are letters that were sent to those that have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior. They were born again and had the Holy Spirit within them.

Yet we are instructed not to let certain things take place:

“Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God’s people. Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes—these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God. You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.”

For these sins to be listed. Something must have taken place within Ephaesus to cause this particular pointing out of sinful behavior.

Case in point “no sexual immorality.” The other day I read an article where the youth pastor of a church was beaten by the father of the child. When the father caught this pastor touching his son in the wrong way. So, as you can see this man who went to a theological seminary or college and received a degree to be a pastor sinned.

There will be those out there that say this pastor was never saved. Which personally this really upsets me when people say this excuse. Why? Because of this from the book of Romans:

Romans 10:9-10 – If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.

These two verses show God’s love for all of humanity, Be they saved or unsaved. Sinner or saint. Believer, or heathen. Once someone does this they are saved.

But humans were given free-will. It is this free-will that makes humans like the wife of Hosea from the book of Hosea. Their free-will gets them into trouble. Why?

1 Corinthians 15:54 – So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

Corruptible – G5349 – phthartos – perisable, corruptible

Corruptible – able to be made to do something dishonest or immoral per Cambridge Dictionary.

Even after we are saved, we are still able to fall into sin and do sinful things. However, as is shown in the verses I started this study with we are called not to do these things. As this pastor showed we can do dreadful things. This is why Christ said this:

John 15:1-10 – “I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. 3 You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you.  4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me. 5 “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. 6 Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. 7 But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! 8 When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father. 9 “I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love. 10 When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.

Now we are getting to the core of today’s study. The very next verse that followed this list of sins in Ephesians.

Ephesians 5:6-9 – Don’t be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the anger of God will fall on all who disobey him. 7 Don’t participate in the things these people do. 8 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! 9 For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.

You have light within you. Let us look to the words of Christ once again:

Matthew 6:19-24 – “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. 21 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be. 22 “Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light. 23 But when your eye is unhealthy, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is! 24 “No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.

“Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light. But when your eye is unhealthy, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!”

But why have this statement in the middle of talking about where our treasures are and money?

1 John 2:15-17 – Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. 16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. 17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.

This is darkness. When a person’s focus is not on following the teachings of Christ, but upon seeking after their own wants and desires here on earth. That is living in sin and so not in the light.

Let us return to Ephesians again, this time in the KJV:

Ephesians 5:5 – For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Covetous man – G4123 – pleonektés  – holding (desiring) more, eager for gain (avaricious, hence a defrauder)

Avaricious – showing an extremely strong wish to get or keep money or possessions

Defrauder – a person who swindles you by means of deception or fraud

  1. Swindle – to get money dishonestly from someone by deceiving or cheating them

Idolater – G1496 – eidólolatrés – an image (servant) or worshiper

  1. Image –        1) a visual representation of something

2) a mental conception held in common by members of a group and symbolic of a basic attitude and orientation

3) a popular conception (as of a person, institution, or nation) projected especially through the mass media

Most associate “image” as worshiping a stone image otherwise know as Idolatry. Yet as was just shown “image” as many other meanings. Many have fooled themselves into believing they are being truly “Christian” by seeking after wealth, rewards, and luxuries here on earth. Yet this is the opposite of what Christ Himself commands in Matthew 6. This is of the world as shown in 1 John 2.

The word “idolater” when researched within the TDNT it means that the person called this is diligently working to fulfil their greedy desire. Seeking after money which is considered an idol in Matthew 6:24. So working to gain money, prestige, a fancy house, a fancy car, fancy clothes is working for and toward the world as has been established here today form the Bible itself. Is living in sin and turning one’s back upon God and His Son our Savior Jesus Christ.

So those that call themselves “Christian” yet hold on to their wealth and seek more, and believe they are one with God fall into this group in Ephesians:

“Don’t be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the anger of God will fall on all who disobey him.”

For how great is their darkness? For what they see as light is not that but is truly darkness.

Darkness – G4655 – skotos – shadiness, darkness, either physical or moral.

In a reading of the TDNT it is a very long and complicated study. The elements that made the most sense was that of the ways of Christ is light and remaining in and for the world is darkness. Most within the United States fall into the latter of these two descriptions.

Seeking after their own wants and desires. Seeking to be appealing to those about them by their looks and what they own. This is darkness. And so, they excuse these sins thinking all is right with themselves and God.

This reminds me of one of my dreams where I was falling towards hell. I was in complete and utter darkness. As I fell I at times encountered groups of people singing hymns and saying prayers to God and Jesus. Holding each other’s hands in a circle yet they too were falling towards hell in the darkness.

Ponder upon this study and think and pray.

God Bless

Daily Obedience That Is Required But Most Don’t Even Acknowledge

bible, Bible study, Christian, Christian Life, General, government, Guide, history, Life, politics, Relationship, , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

The greatest commandments:

Matthew 22:37-40 NKJV – Jesus said to him, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’  This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

When obeying these commandments notice the last verse:

Matthew 22:40 NKJV – On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

Now most when hearing the word “law” assume it has to do with the OT law, which is mainly correct. However, we are given these instructions within the NT:

Titus 3:1 NKJV – Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work,

Romans 13:1-2 NKJV – Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.

These last verses are reinforced from the OT with these verses:

Daniel 2:21 NKJV – And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.

Daniel 4:17 NLT – For this has been decreed by the messengers; it is commanded by the holy ones, so that everyone may know that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of the world. He gives them to anyone he chooses—even to the lowliest of people.”

When God appoints evil people into governance over a nation it is to punish those that refuse to acknowledge Him as not only their Creator but their Sovereign Lord God Almighty.

When not only following the commandments within the Bible, but also when following those laws established by the governing body of a nation, which do not violate those commandments which are in the Word of God, we show our obedience to God through Jesus Christ.

This is something that must be done daily.

A prime example: Following the speed limit on the roads we drive upon, as well as knowing all other laws we must adhere to when driving. Like for another example when pedestrians have the right of way and when they do not. In the Florida law on this Pedestrians have the right of way ONLY in intersections with stop lights, or a four-way stop. In all other instances the vehicles on the road have the right of way.

Another example of right of way: When lanes merge. You will see signs or painted words stating for one lane to merge into another. The right of way, in other words the lane that must be allowed control of the road is the lane that is not marked as a merge lane. The one that is marked as a merge lane must allow all other vehicles in the non-marked lane to go first. The simple way to get around this is the enter the non-marked lane at your earliest and safest convenience.

These are laws that we must follow if we profess to being a follower of Christ.

Now along these lines of following laws. There has been an uproar form a group about allowing those that have entered into a country in a manner that is established by the law of the land as illegal. Those causing the uproar are in actuality not at war verbally or through action against the governing power in charge at this time. They are in actuality at war against God Himself as shown in the Bible verses shown earlier.

By going to war against God they show who it is they truly follow and it is obviously not God nor His Son Jesus Christ.

This is why it is so important to follow all the laws that do not go against the Word of God even down to the point of sharing the road with others. For by following the laws of the land we pay homage to our Creator God through His Son our Savior Jesus Christ. That is why we are required to know when to merge, when to turn and when to yield right of way to not only other drivers but pedestrians. As well as following those laws which remove those that have entered into this nation illegally.

For those that enter into a nation illegally are in actuality also at war with God and His Son our Savior Jesus Christ.

Since they are at war with God, they are not welcome into heaven or into the eternal service of God for billions upon billions of years. They and those that support them are welcome into the lake of fire for billions upon billions upon billions years in eternal agony of your own making.

The Parables to Those that are True Disciples of Christ

bible, Bible study, Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

In Christ’s last teaching to His disciples, in what is now called the Olivet Discourse, He still told them three parables. His own chosen followers. Those that for the most part were most loyal to Him. Even though the next day one would betray Him and a few weeks later (just over 40 days) one would seek to usurp Him on earth by making Christ’s remaining followers to break one of His commandments, (that being not to pray where others can see them praying [Matthew 6:5-6]) and then make them choose a replacement for the betrayer with lots. The use of lots being a sin as well. Thus, introducing religion into the Christian belief. (Acts 1:12-26)

The first parable.

Matthew 24:32-35 NKJV – “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

“All these things” People standing on the dais and in pulpits stating they speak of and for Christ, yet they teach opposite the teachings found within the Word of God. When you hear of wars and rumor of wars. When you see races speak in hatred of other races and nation belittle other nations. When you see famine, plagues and earthquakes all over the world. When you see those that seek to follow Christ are insulted, attacked, imprisoned and killed. When you see sins that were once hidden proudly parade in the light. All the while the True Gospel is being preached unto the world.

These are what the parable of the fig tree is referring to. Therefore, we know for a fact per Christ Himself that within one generation He will return. It has been documented that one generation is 33 years. However, these signs have been occurring already for over twenty years. So, we are quickly approaching His return. Included in this time must be the seven-year period of the tribulation, which He also slightly describes, that precedes His return.

The second parable.

Matthew 25:1-13 NKJV – “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

This is directed at those that profess to being follower of Christ: the “virgins.” Two groups are identified. The wise and the foolish. It also makes it very clear that all slumber, which fits the behavior of those within the Christian community. Why I say this is the fact that those that sin willfully parade their sins for all the world to see. This is due to Christians not pursuing their teachings and making those that sin run back into the darkness if not repenting outright.

Then the coming of the “midnight cry,” which states clearly that the “Bridegroom is coming; go out to meet Him!” The midnight cry has occurred on September 11th just after midnight in Israel, otherwise known as September 10th. The cry caused the foolish virgins or bridesmaids to return to seeking after Christ. The wise virgins told them to seek after their lack of oil from the merchants. The merchants by the way are the buildings called “churches.” Because they sell salvation not give it freely, nor show those seeking after salvation how to truly learn the Word of God. These foolish virgins will be left behind when the bridegroom, Jesus Christ, does return. Nearly all will most likely fully abandon their salvation at that time.

Now we come to the last parable:

Matthew 25:14-30 NKJV – “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money. After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them. “So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’ His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’ “But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents. ‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

The core of this parable is not to hide your salvation. But to go out into the world and share it. Bring others into the fold. Those that are loyal to Christ will be rewarded in the time to come. As for those that hide their salvation and refuse to spread the Word of God. Their fate is clearly shown:

Matthew 25:29-30 NKJV – ‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

To those that hide their salvation and refuse to share it. They have their salvation striped from them and they are cast “into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

As said these three parables were aimed at those that are True Disciples of Christ. Within the last two we see where those that are shown as special to Christ can fall away to damnation. This is all due to free-will. People make their own decisions and choices. Their actions either lead them toward Christ and eternal life or toward darkness and eternal damnation.

What is most important now is to keep being the watchmen on the parapets. Shouting out to those within the walls that the soon return of Jesus Christ is very near. Not years away, but months away if not weeks or even days away.

Hate is on the increase between races. All fueled by those that think they have the right to dominate and control others. Some from a political viewpoint. Others from a religious viewpoint. All because they believe they are smarter, wiser, and know more than those they see as lesser than them.

However, those that are truly Christian teach and follow this:

Matthew 22:37-40 NKJV – Jesus said to him, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

This means God must be first in all we do. Then to treat all others as we ourselves wish to be treated. This is accomplished by following the commandments not removed by the cross, for even Christ made it clear that these two commandments are the core of “all the Law and the Prophets.”

The True Church is No Longer Found in Buildings

The other day as seen across social media a Methodist minister proudly proclaimed to the world that this person has decided to announce to the world that they were a transgender.

This was not the first I had encountered lies from the Methodist denomination. When I was 18, I went to the Methodist church that was built right behind my home back then. You see I was starting to search for God through Jesus Christ back at that age. However, I had not yet accepted Christ or been filled with the Holy Spirit yet. That didn’t happen till a few years later, but that is a different story. Right now, I am talking about the Methodist. Well, I went to the Bible study part of the services that were held by this minister wearing robes. The first thing out of his mouth: “The Book of Revelation is nothing but a fairy tale.”

That was forty-seven years ago, and I still remember it to this day. Mainly because I was reading the book of Revelation at that time. Striving to make sense of it. Coming to understand this book within the Bible is still something I strive to do. But as we get closer to the soon return of Christ, I understand enough to just allow things to unfold on their own.

However, this little sojourn into my past has taken me off course a bit. So, I will get back on topic. The Word of God says this:

Romans 16:17-20 NKJV – Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them. For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple. For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil. And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

Denomination are divisions and offenses are what the first Methodist “minister” did at the beginning of today’s discussion. The True Body of Christ is not found in buildings called “churches” as I showed with the last message I posted. ( https://dreamwalker1960.com/2025/12/03/your-list-of-godly-achievements-within-the-building-called-a-church/ )

Churches are nothing but merchants trying to sell “salvation.” The True body of Christ is actually found on social media and the internet. It is here that I have been since 2014 striving to spread the True Gospel. Being a voice in the wilderness. I learned as time went on, that I wasn’t the only voice in the wilderness. This is why I know the True Body of Christ can be found no longer in buildings that create division and are led by people only seeking to fill their pockets with your money and never seeking to give you true salvation. Just as it was two thousand years ago when Christ first walked upon the earth.

Matthew 23:2-15 NKJV – saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do. For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments. They love the best places at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues, greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’ But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren. Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ. But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

All the buildings called “churches” do is turn those that attend into Pharisees. Damning them to the lake of fire and never truly to salvation. They prove this when they make statements like: “When you stand before God on Judgement Day.”

None, who are True Disciples of Christ will stand before God on “Judgment Day.” For THE Judgment Day is the Great White Throne Judgement and is the only Judgement. Any who are True Disciples of Christ will have been called into heaven before this and given white robes and then come down with Christ and joined Him during His thousand-year reign. Not to be judged but to judge.

Revelation 20:4-6 NKJV – And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

Those that will  partake in the raptures are those that ARE of the first resurrection.

Revelation 20:6 NKJV – Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

“Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power.”

“Over such the second death has no power.”

This is a direct statement that those that are raptured will not be part of the Great White Throne Judgement. Therefore, any who teaches otherwise are false teachers and someone that needs to be avoided and shunned. These are those that sit upon the dais and stand behind the pulpit. In their expensive suits that those that sit in the pews paid for. For they have told those in the pews they can keep 90% of their earthly wealth as long as they get their 10%, which is opposite to what is taught in the Word of God. (1 Timothy 6:6-19, Matthew 6:19-24) They send off their missionaries who teach the same lies and then leave those they convert to fend for themselves. Just as they leave those that come to the buildings called “churches” to fend for themselves. Never truly teaching them the True Word of God to live a needs-only lifestyle and to follow the commandments which were not removed by Christ going to the cross. By the way only those commandments covering sacrifices were removed. No others. Like for example not to get tattoos (Leviticus 19:28) is still in effect for it is something that those of the world seek after. This is verified here:

Romans 12:1-2 NKJV – I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Most that now go to the buildings called “churches” will not be part of the first resurrection. Christ Himself knew this and spoke of it in His way for the time that He spoke of it during the Sermon on the Mount:

Matthew 7:13-23 NKJV – “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them. “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Stop seek after God in buildings called “churches” for they only teach division and cause offenses against the True Word of God. They teach to horde your earthly wealth and not to live a needs-only lifestyle. They teach you to keep and seek after mammon which is defined as:

Riches (jewelry and fancy clothes), money, possessions (objects that gather dust and vehicles [which include luxury cars, trucks, RVs if they are not your actual home, motorcycles, boats, jet skis etc.]) and property (owning huge houses and/or multiple houses [ once again RVs count as a house] as well as land filled with nothing useful to those in need).

Seek the Truth of the Word of God by STUDYING not just reading the Bible for yourself. Learn the meaning of the Words as they were originally placed upon parchment thousands of years ago and have only changed 2% in all that time. For there are well over 5000 ancient versions of the Word of God and shows that those mere 2% changes are mainly the use of different names for those found within the Bible.

Stop falling for the false propaganda that due to that fact that there were multiple human scribes of the Word of God there was only ONE author and that is God Himself.

2 Timothy 3:16-4:5 NKJV – All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

And know this final fact. Any who supports and commits to the alphabet club are not welcome into heaven per Romans 1:18-32. And if you look at those that do support them you will see this behavior within them:

Romans 1:26-32 NKJV – For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

They are not welcome into heaven by their own actions and choices especially when they say: “I am a Christian.”

For they will awaken to the Great White Throne Judgment and when they do so they will weep for they are subject to the second death unlike those that were part of the first resurrection.

Revelation 20:11-15 NKJV – Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Amen

Your list of Godly Achievements Within the Building Called a “Church”

bible, Bible study, Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, , , , , , , , , , , One comment

Recently I have been privy to hearing the “achievements” someone accomplished within the building called a “church.” Well, all the while the Holy Spirit kept placing these verses within my head as I heard these “accomplishments.”

Matthew 7:21-23 NKJV – “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Now why would the Holy Spirit place these verses in particular into my head?

For one. The people proudly proclaiming what they saw as what was required of them to be one with God through Jesus Christ.

Second, how these verses end: “I never knew you; depart from Me, YOU WHO PRATICE LAWLESSNESS!”

Christ made it very clear in John 14 what you are required to do if you truly love Him:

John 14:15-21 NKJV – “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”

“If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

“He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me,

So, in this list of achievements within this building called a church do they include these commands given by Christ as the Sermon on the Mount:

When you give do so in a way where no one knows it is you giving the money to those in need. (Matthew 6:1-4)

When you pray. Pray in secret where no one can see you. Therefore, if you pray in public and especially in a church you are breaking this commandment. (Matthew 6:5-6)

When you fast do not make a show of it or let anyone know you are fasting. (Matthew 6:16-18)

Now the next one is one of the biggest commandments that most refuse to even accept, acknowledge or even attempt to do.:

Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV – “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

You know what else is considered earthly treasures? Achievements within a building called a “church.”

1 John 2:15-17 NLT – Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.

These achievements you achieve through your own desires and wants makes you proud in what you have accomplished and don’t even see that you are walking in darkness.

Ephesians 5:1-10 NKJV – Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.

Just because you go to a building called a “church” and you do activities made by and sponsored by this building does not place you in heaven. For they are not commandments offered by Jesus Christ, but by men. This is why Jesus says this right after telling those that are loyal to Him to not store up earthly treasures:

Matthew 6:22-24 NKJV – “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

In churches people belief they are in the light, when in reality, since they are not imitating Christ they are actually walking in earthly darkness. Then Christ makes it clear that churches teach to seek after mammon.

Why do I say this? Because they teach you can keep 90% of your income as long as you give 10% to the church. This is not what is taught in Matthew 6 or 1 Timothy 6. In both of those locations within the Bible it is made clear that we are to live off 10%. Give 10% to those that are True representatives of Jesus Christ. Then have the rest ready at a moment’s notice to help those in need.

Just so you know mammon is defined as riches (jewelry and fancy clothes), money, possessions (objects that gather dust and vehicles [which include luxury cars, trucks, RVs if they are not your actual home, motorcycles, boats, jet skis etc.]) and property (owning huge houses and/or multiple houses [ once again RVs count as a house] as well as land filled with nothing useful to those in need).

This is all churches say you can keep thus canceling out any achievements you may think of to whitewash your filthy garments.

Revelation 3:1-5 NKJV – “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, ‘These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God. Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

“He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I WILL NOT BLOT OUT HIS NAME FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE, but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.”

Revelation 3:15-20 NKJV – “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

Those that wish to list their churchly achievements are blind and proud and have been vomited out of the Body of Christ and Christ Himself removed their names from the Book of Life.

Revelation 20:15 NKJV – And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

You should know at first: Christianity loses

Here is one of the things that really surprises me about those that profess to being “Christian.” Their total lack of understanding the Word of God.

This is the fault of those that teach all you need is faith alone. Being a True Disciple of Christ means to STUDY the Word of God. Which will empower the person studying to spread the True Word of God and also live a needs-only existence by striving to follow what they learned when they studied the Bible.

Once they know the Word of God they learn a major fact. That those that Truly seek after Christ will be persecuted, hunted down and ultimately killed. Especially in the first half of the tribulation. For at the middle of the tribulation a great multitude will appear before the heavenly throne of God who purchased their robes by being true followers of Christ.

Revelation 7:9-14 NKJV  After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen.” Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

They washed their robes by becoming martyrs.

Revelation 6:9-11 NKJV – When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

It is completed in chapter 7. For all of those that are True Christians must be removed from the face of the earth. Therefore, Christianity loses in the first half of the tribulation. They are starved and beheaded. Only one religion desires the beheading of Christians, and they will win the first half. Also, those that reject Christ and God will be left behind, and they all will have taken the mark of the beast.

There are those that are praying over a dead country that was once great and Holy in the sight of God. That being the United States of America. Yet note this from Chapter 6 of the book of Revelation right after the mention of the martyrs under the altar.

Revelation 6:12-17 NKJV – I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves 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 who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

This correspondence to this:

Revelation 18:2-8 NKJV – And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.” And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.

This destruction in one day. The sky receding as a scroll, every mountain and island being moved will be caused by one thing. The eruption of a super volcano that will wipe the United Stated as well as parts of Canada and Mexico from the face of the earth. Leaving what is left covered in ash which will cause mourning and famine for what is left of these three nations.

So, stop trying to save the United States and start to save the people within these nations so that they may avoid these events. For Christ promised all that follow His commandments and strive to live a Holy live will avoid the tribulation all together:

Luke 21:34-36 NKJV – “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

By the way. In this posting today it has been shown that there will be multiple raptures. The first was just shown in the verses just presented. The second rapture was mentioned in Revelation chapter seven. Therefore, Any who teach there is only one rapture. Those that teach there are no raptures. Those who teach these things are false teachers and need to be avoided. For we are instructed to remove ourselves from those that live in sin and teach false doctrine.

This is evident if you look at the way those within the United States now behave. They were spoken of in these verses which were inspired by the Holy Spirit:

2 Timothy 3:1-9 NKJV – But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.

Time is nearly up till the first rapture occurs. Then there will be nearly three and a half years of true physical suffering which will include be-headings. All because most would rather have their luxuries aka mammon and they refused to leave the city of Babylon by downsizing and living a needs-only lifestyle. This is the majority that now profess to being “Christian” and they will have to suffer through the tribulation till every single person that confesses Christ as their Savior and is then filled with the Holy Spirit is removed from the face of the earth. Which means Christianity loses……….. at first.

Let us continue to talk about those that say they are “Christian”

Again, I was looking at videos on social media and two of them stuck out.

In the second video an ill-prepared street preacher was confronted by an alphabet false teacher aka a woman wearing a minister’s attire.

She confronted him saying “what is the core premise of the Bible.” Paraphrased for the record.

She stated it was “Love,” which is a lie, a falsehood, a false teaching. The actual answer is this:

Matthew 22:37-40 NKJV – Jesus said to him, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

You shall LOVE GOD is the actual answer to what is the core premise of the Word of God.

God must be first in ALL that we seek after, even if that means we must abandon something that gives us personal pleasure.

Then we are to treat all as we would like to be treated. The Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have done unto to you.

But finally we see this from Jesus Christ Himself:

“On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

This means all the laws and the prophets must still be listened to and followed. The only thing removed by Christ going to the cross was the act of having to commit sacrifices. This  means that this is still law:

Leviticus 18:22 NKJV – You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.

This brings us to the book of Romans:

First, I wish to show this:

Romans 1:16-17 NKJV – For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”

“The Just shall LIVE by Faith. To live is considered works. How you live your daily life must fall into doing what Christ commanded, which are works:

John 14:15 NKJV – “If you love Me, keep My commandments.

As you see by the verse just stated we return to LOVING GOD FIRST AND FOREMOST.

But let’s continue into Romans 1:

Romans 1:18-32 NKJV – For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

By teaching the core premise of the Bible is love alone those that did this fulfilled these verses:

“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.”

This resulted in this:

Romans 1:26-27 NKJV – For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

This clearly shows that the alphabet club exists because they rejected the True God and His True Son Jesus Christ. Therefore, any who embraces and support the alphabet club are not welcome in heaven, which is what the second person in the videos did. They must end these sins and repent. This is made clear here:

Romans 1:32 NKJV – who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

Now as to those that call themselves “Christian:”

Romans 2:1-11 NLT – You may think you can condemn such people, but you are just as bad, and you have no excuse! When you say they are wicked and should be punished, you are condemning yourself, for you who judge others do these very same things. And we know that God, in his justice, will punish anyone who does such things. Since you judge others for doing these things, why do you think you can avoid God’s judgment when you do the same things? Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin? But because you are stubborn and refuse to turn from your sin, you are storing up terrible punishment for yourself. For a day of anger is coming, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. He will judge everyone according to what they have done. He will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers. But he will pour out his anger and wrath on those who live for themselves, who refuse to obey the truth and instead live lives of wickedness.  There will be trouble and calamity for everyone who keeps on doing what is evil—for the Jew first and also for the Gentile. But there will be glory and honor and peace from God for all who do good—for the Jew first and also for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism.

Key Statement in these verses: “You may think you can condemn such people, but you are just as bad, and you have no excuse! When you say they are wicked and should be punished, you are condemning yourself, for you who judge others do these very same things.”

“For you who judge others do these very same things.”

This is what it means when it says not to judge. If you commit the same sins, you condemn yourself. For God will judge ALL that stand before the Great White Throne Judgement.

The goal of a True Christian is to spread the True Word of God and to live a needs-only lifestyle and follow the teachings found within the Word of God and to end their personal sins and repent.

As shown from the Word of God, the core of which is to LOVE GOD is to end ALL sins especially those that will not allow us to be part of the raptures. For only by being part of the raptures can someone avoid standing being God at the Great White Throne Judgement.

Any who calls themselves “Christian” now and finds themselves at this Judgement must weep for they will most likely enter into the lake of fire for billion upon billion upon billions of year in eternal agony.
