The Book of Daniel the Proof that the Bible is True

One thing I have encountered since I first started seeking the Truth of the Word of God has been those that say one of two things if not both. One is that the Bible is just an accumulation of stories to teach a morality that we should try and follow. However, they are just suggestions that hold no true value. The second is that it has no historical fact to it and is something that really doesn’t need to be listened to or followed.

The Book of Daniel which was written by him in the 500 BC time period bring all these excuses…. Yes, excuse to the brutal end they need to face. One of the most ignored facts about the book of Daniel is that it was written in two separate languages on purpose. The first and last sections in Hebrew and dealing for the most part with the tribes of Israel nearly exclusively. The middle was written in the common language of the time period: Aramaic.

Within the Aramaic we see four gentile empires discussed and described.

Now before I continue on into the next part. I wish to re-emphasis when the book of Daniel was written. The book starts in 604 BC and is concluded in 532 BC.

Babylon, that nation in which Daniel was taken hostage into ended in 539 BC.

Medo-Persian Lasted from 550 BC – 330 BC

The Greek empire reached it’s zenith by the conquest accomplished by Alexender known as “the Great” during his rule which ended upon his death in 323 BC. It then went into decline and ended in 146 BC to be taken over by the fourth gentile empire. That being Rome.

Rome which became an empire in 27 BC, even though existwd before thus, and didn’t end as an empire until 465 AD. Even so, to this day we are still influenced by Rome. Its reach into Israel and its surrounding nations began around 214 BC however it didn’t take over Syria until 64 BC, Israel called Jedea a year later in 63 BC.

There are those that say the Book of Daniel wasn’t written until the middle 100 BC time frame. Why they say this is because they do not wish to accept that someone from 604 BC through 532 BC could so accurately predict the events surrounding the four empires that were just listed.

Facts that also include the desecration of the temple by Antiochus the IV also known as Antiochus Epiphanies in 167 BC. Which were clearly predicted in the Book of Daniel.

However, The Truth is the Book of Dainel was written between 604 BC through 532 BC. It was inspired by The Holy Spirit and even shows Jesus Christ Himself.

Daniel 3:8-30 NKJV – Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came forward and accused the Jews. They spoke and said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “O king, live forever! You, O king, have made a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the gold image; and whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. There are certain Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego; these men, O king, have not paid due regard to you. They do not serve your gods or worship the gold image which you have set up.” Then Nebuchadnezzar, in rage and fury, gave the command to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. So they brought these men before the king. Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the gold image which I have set up? Now if you are ready at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, and you fall down and worship the image which I have made, good! But if you do not worship, you shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. And who is the god who will deliver you from my hands?” Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.” Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the expression on his face changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. He spoke and commanded that they heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated. And he commanded certain mighty men of valor who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and cast them into the burning fiery furnace. Then these men were bound in their coats, their trousers, their turbans, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Therefore, because the king’s command was urgent, and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.” “Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”  Then Nebuchadnezzar went near the mouth of the burning fiery furnace and spoke, saying, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here.” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego came from the midst of the fire. And the satraps, administrators, governors, and the king’s counselors gathered together, and they saw these men on whose bodies the fire had no power; the hair of their head was not singed nor were their garments affected, and the smell of fire was not on them. Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who sent His Angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and they have frustrated the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they should not serve nor worship any god except their own God! Therefore I make a decree that any people, nation, or language which speaks anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made an ash heap; because there is no other God who can deliver like this.” Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego in the province of Babylon.

“’Look!’ he answered, ‘I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.’ “

When people do not wish to accept the truth, they decide on their own to turn it into a lie. To state that the Bible is just a group of “stories” is in essence calling the Bible a lie.

Story – a description, either true or imagined, of a connected series of events.

When people place the word “story” to the Word of God they are in essence rejecting the word “true” and are opting for the word “imagined.”

Why? Because to accept it as “true” would mean they have been living as liars. And what is the fate dictated by the Word of God for those that are “liars?”

Revelation 21:8 NKJV – But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

“And all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

This is why to them the Bible must be nothing but stories. For if it is the Truth they will find themselves in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone for billions upon billions upon billions upon billions of years.

However, this is the Truth. That they are not welcome in the presence of God and Jesus Christ does not know them.

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!’

Any who reject anything from the Word of God reject He who inspired it.

2 Timothy 3:16-7 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.

What is the next thing the Bible says:

2 Timothy 4:1-5 NKJV – 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.

NOTE these verses:

2 Timothy 4:3-4 NKJV – 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.

This is why to them the Bible must be “stories” must be akin to “fables.” For they wish to live in their fantasies. Fantasies that allows them to live in their earthly sins which will damn them to the lake of fire and brimstone, because to them being a liar is more important than living in the service of God for all eternity.

Sad… how truly and utterly sad.

The Cheerful Giver

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

A while back a congressman had to educate a so-called “pastor” about the Word of God. He used this verse to give this false teacher a true lesson of God’s Word:

2 Corinthians 9:7 NKJV – So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

This is one of the greatest misconceptions that has turned most that profess to being “Christians” into the lukewarm. They believe that by paying taxes to a nation’s government it is no longer their responsibility to care for those in need. Thus, they can keep the majority of their earthly wealth unto themselves because they paid their taxes and gave their 10% tithe to a building called a “church.”

This fits two of the three categories described in the verse above. That being “grudgingly” and by “necessity.”

However, those that truly seek to follow Christ do so as a “cheerful giver.” This is expanded upon when reading 1 Timothy.

First, we are told this:

1 Timothy 6:6-8 NKJV – Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.

Secondly, we are commanded .. commanded this:

1 Timothy 6:17-19 NKJV – Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

This is a clear commandment from the Word of God that most that now profess to being followers of Jesus Christ ….. aren’t. But followers of their earthly wants and lusts.

1 John 2:15-16 NKJV – Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

Or a better translation is this:

1 John 2:15-16 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.

This is the nature of the beast. For most truly do not seek to reflect Christ but the world itself which esteems what God sees as an abomination.

Luke 16:13-15 NKJV – “No servant 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.” Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him. And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

Most justify themselves before men by how fancy they dress and live. All of which is mammon worship and a sin against God.

Just so we understand what is considered mammon and how it is worshipped. Those that are mammon-worshippers seek after riches (jewelry, and fancy clothes), money (seeking after and hording earthly wealth beyond what is needed to make it to the next day), possessions (those objects that gather dust all over your houses and as well as luxury vehicles and any vehicle that goes beyond the basic need of transport to places you need to get to) and then property (a huge house beyond the basic need for shelter and/or multiple houses as well as empty land filled with nothing to help those in need.) 

All that is listed above is what is esteemed by those that live only for the world and not for God.

Here is another point that needs to be made about taxes.

Mark 12:13-17 NKJV – Then they sent to Him some of the Pharisees and the Herodians, to catch Him in His words. When they had come, they said to Him, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and care about no one; for You do not regard the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? Shall we pay, or shall we not pay?” But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test Me? Bring Me a denarius that I may see it.” So they brought it. And He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They said to Him, “Caesar’s.” And Jesus answered and said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

“Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s.”

Paying taxes had zero to do with serving God by His standards other than following this verses:

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

Therefore, God’s commandment is to live a needs-only lifestyle keeping the majority of our earthly wealth at the ready to help those in need. Is the glorious standard we are not just instructed, but commanded … again commanded to do. This has nothing to do with the necessity to pay taxes to a government.

This emphasis that the majority who profess to being a follower of Jesus Christ are liars and hypocrites who have been spewed out of the Body of Christ long ago.

Revelation 3:15-17 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—

Revelation 21:8 NKJV – But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

The only way to succeed at being a cheerful giver is by living off the least of our earthly wealth, which in turn makes it easier to be cheerful when we see an opportunity to give to those in need. It becomes cheerful because we are doing so for Christ who is not only our Savior but the benchmark we seek to reflect. Additionally, since in essence it is money that is just lying around gathering dust it is easy to dispense and so something that brings us joy to give and to share, thus making us – ”cheerful givers.”

Now, in this time. I see most laughing off these Biblical Truths. However, when you think upon it. When it come time for the decision to choose the mark of the beast or face starvation as well as the loss of their earthly possessions people will awaken to the Truth. The Truth that because they laughed off this study of the Word of God, and refused to downsize to the bare minimum to survive within this world they turned themselves into enemies of God, For the word “tribulation” means a punishment of an enemy. During that seven-year period it will be all that find themselves upon this earthly plain of existence within this time frame. For only those that DO find themselves here are ALL enemies of God.

Obeying the Laws Be They God’s or a Nation’s

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

It amazes me just how oblivious people are to their daily behavior that equals sinning against God. Now the greatest commandments say 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.”

Most ignore verse 40 so I will restate it:

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

Most have really forgotten and ignored this verse because it is inconvenient for it goes counter to how they wish to live and act. Therefore, they do not wish to do the work required to maintain their salvation.

This is reinforced by James:

James 2:14-26 NKJV – What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS ACCOUNTED TO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.” And he was called the friend of God. You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Note verse 18 once again:

“But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.”

“I will show you my faith by my works.”

This means the little things within daily life. From interacting with others to actually how we drive a vehicle like following the rules of the road to where and how we turn into places for example not entering a parking lot from the exit only ramp onto the street.

When people do as they please because it is convenient to themselves, they reject the 2nd of the greatest commandments.

Matthew 22:39 NKJV – And the second is like it: ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’

This goes hand in hand with this:

Philippians 2:3 NKJV – Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

When you place others before yourself following Titus 3:1 becomes easy.

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

Any who behaves selfishly or even teaches that selfish behavior is okay teach damnation.

James 3:14-15 NKJV – But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.

James 3:14 KJV – But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

Strife – G2052 – eritheia – selfish ambition, disputes, selfishly ambitious, selfishness

Selfishness – the quality of thinking only of your own advantage.

Of thinking of your own advantage like speeding, turning in the exit and not the entrance because it is not in your advantage to go an additional 100 feet is the best description of openly sinning against God thus is sin. And as shown from the verse above it is actually allowing yourselves to be controlled by demonic influences. Showing that those that behave in this manner are in actuality enemies of God and not welcome into heaven.

Most behave in this manner and what is worse they many call themselves “Christian.” This in turn makes them liars.

Revelation 21:8 NKJV – But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

It is simple. Obey the laws of a land like do nothing that can be called “illegal” nor support any that break a nation’s laws. Obey the laws given in the Bible not removed by the cross, which are many. Like for example do not get tattoos. Men not dressing as women and women not dressing as men. These laws are still in effect. Here is a list of sins that describes those that have rejected God and become His enemies:

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.

And especially note this:

“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.”

“but also approve of those who practice them.”

Supporting sin means you approve of sin and welcome sin. So therefore, those that do this are not welcome into the presence of God.

Do not support sin and do not seek to sin for Christ made it clear that those that live in sin bear no fruit upon the Holy Vine and must be removed from the Vine who is Jesus Christ:

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.

Partial-Rapture Studied and Proven

Uncategorized Leave a comment

In the mid-1800s a new debate started to occur within the scholars of the Bible. That being the word “rapture.” Many a time I have addressed this issue. Many wish to ignore it or attribute it to just being false, a false teaching. Mainly due to the creation of the word “rapture.” Most wish to adhere to one key fact in their versions of this debate. Most believe in only one occurrence of followers of Christ being taken up into the heavens to join Christ. It is this insistence that there can only be one time that people will be called into the presence of Christ actually is countered by Jesus Christ Himself.

Now I want that to sink in. Jesus Christ did make a promise to those that follow Him and remain loyal to Him. When did this happen?

Luke 21:29-36 NKJV – Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. “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.”

Again, from the mouth of Christ Himself:

“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.”

This is Jesus Christ Himself speaking of the removal of all loyal “Christians” from the face of the earth that they may “escape all these things that will come to pass.”

That in essence is a rapture. So whoopee if the word didn’t come into existence until the 1800s. Any who deny these Words spoken by Jesus Christ Himself just denied Jesus Christ PERIOD. And their fate?

Matthew 10:33 NKJV – But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.

Therefore, ANY who say there is no rapture or raptures, if they are alive when the tribulation starts will be left behind because Christ has denied them to His Father who is in heaven.

Is this a harsh statement? Yes, it is. However, I didn’t make it. The Word of God did. You want to get mad get mad at Jesus Christ, not me for showing the Truth.

So, we see Jesus Christ saying people can be removed to not suffer. When does this suffering occur?

It is called the “tribulation.” When you actually study this word back to its original meaning, we find that the word means it is a punishment of someone’s enemies. In this case the “someone” is God and His Son Jesus Christ and any who find themselves within the time period that can be called the “tribulation” are the enemies of God PRIOD.

Therefore, any who find themselves within this time are not followers of God through Jesus Christ. Now, I will say this. Per the Word of God there will be those that repent of their sins and will become followers of God through Jesus Christ. This is shown within the book of Revelation:

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.

NOTE:

“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.”

“Washed their robes and made them white.” Shows an act, an action otherwise known as works.

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

How are these works accomplished during the tribulation? That is answered in the preceding chapter in the book of Revelation:

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.

To stop being the enemy of God they must become the enemy of those on the earth and be hunted down and martyred. Then they will receive white robes.

Now, I must also state at this point that once again Jesus Christ describes events that can qualify as a rapture.

Matthew 24:36-42 NKJV – “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.

These verses you read follows these verses:

Matthew 24:32-25 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.

Therefore, no one should question whether there is such a thing as a rapture. For when you say there isn’t you call Christ a liar.

Now. If you have been paying attention to what has been written so far you will see that I have described two events. One where those that have been loyal servants to Christ are removed before the tribulation since they are known to Christ thus not His enemy. This is reinforced in the parable of the bridesmaids or virgins.

Matthew 25:6-13 NKJV – “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.

Those that go into the wedding feast have been raptured. Those that are locked out are God’s enemies and most endure the tribulation.

Those that decide not to take the mark of the beast and follow God are martyred and are given white robes as shown in Revelation 6 and 7. This is a second rapture. Which is the core of the partial rapture teaching. That the few that are ready. Only a few million globally will make the first rapture and meet Christ in the sky above with those that died before us and were called first per Thessalonians. Where we will dawn the incorruptible over the corruptible per Corinthians.

Now to those that state that all must endure the entire seven years of the tribulation again call the Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit Whose name is Jesus Christ, a lair and thus in turn Jesus Christ a lair.

For where is the temple of the Holy Spirit?

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NKJV – Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

This comes into relevance here:

2 Thessalonians 2:6-7 NKJV – And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.

This also corresponds to this:

Daniel 9:27 NKJV – Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.”

Which then returns us to these verses once again:

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.

NO ONE WHO HAS THE HOLY SPIRIT WITHIN THEM WILL BE ON THE EARTH WHEN THE ANTICHRIST IS REVEALED!!!  PERIOD!!!

“Then explain these verses from Daniel” someone shouts out.

Daniel 12:1-3 NKJV – “At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever.

Oh this pre-wrath rapture that is exclusively for the tribes of Israel? Thought you said you were “Christian”? If you are “Christian.” Then they have no bearing upon you since NO Christian can be present when the antichrist is revealed. Stop being a spoiled rotten brat and accept the Truth of the Word of God. Not me. THE BIBLE! The Words inspired by the Holy Spirit whose name is Jesus Christ. The Words you are arguing against. Not me. THE BIBLE!Get that in your thick skull. You are not arguing with the person giving these Truths but the BIBLE itself.  You are arguing with GOD through Jesus Christ.

Since the “midnight cry” has already occurred on September 10th, 2025 I already know you will insist that you are right and God is wrong. However, these are the words I was instructed to write to present these Truths. Therefore, once the tribulation does begin and the “alien abductions” of millions of people across the globe is causing hysteria you will remember these words and turn to Jesus Christ and repent and accept your martyrdom that is your only chance of redemption.

Christianity and TDS

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

Now before I begin this. I must give a preface. I am no fan of Donald Trump the man. I do like many of his actions as a president of the US. I voted for him every time his name appeared upon the ballot. As a fellow human and a Christian. I can say I love him as I am instructed to do by the Word of God.

1 John 4:20-21 NKJV – If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.

This being made clear we come to those that suffer what has been called TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). The Word of God alone identifies those that behave and act in such a manner. They are liars. Honestly, if you look at how they behave beyond the TDS you will see that they are liars in other aspects of their lives as well. Many even spout out that they are “Christian.” Which as shown in the Bible verses given so far today that this is the furthest thing from the Truth. That said let us verify this even more.

Revelation 21:8 NKJV – But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

“And ALL liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

“All liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone.”

There is more to this behavior than just lying by the way. Let us look elsewhere in the Word of God. For when we have God’s love within us, we come to behave in a certain way:

Ephesians 4:11-16 NKJV  And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

In the middle of these verses, it shows the behavior of those that do not love their God or their fellow humans:

“that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting.”

We see this behavior every day from those that do not have God within them. One day they have Ukrainian flags and support of the nation of Ukraine, then the next they have rainbow flags supporting the mutilation of children to be turned into the sex not given them by God. Then on to the latest fad of the moment. All that do this show they have no love of the Father within them no matter what they may profess or even which job they have like for example standing in front of a group of people in a building called a “church,” which as I have shown in recent posting that these buildings are nothing more than a den of thieves that deny God and worship Satan. Every single one of them for there isn’t one that I know of that teaches that we are to live off 10% of our earthly wealth and the 90% is to be kept for those in need. Not including the tithe that should go to someone that truly is a repetitive of God through Jesus Christ.

Now I wish to bring up another point that has to do with the first verses shown today. Therefore, I will present them once again:

1 John 4:20-21 NKJV – If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.

I have encountered those that insist this only pertains to interaction only between those that profess to being “Christian.” Consequently, this implies that those that profess to being followers of Christ are not required to treat any others as our brothers and sisters.

This mentality places those that think this on the same level as those that follow the Muslim religion for example. A religion which states that if you are not Muslim then you … meaning all others are infidels and can be lied to, treated like garbage and slain.

All who are a child of Adam, meaning all of humanity ARE our brothers and sisters. We are told not to act superior. Those that act superior in reality hate their brothers and sisters and therefore have no love of God within them and therefore are liars per the main verses in today’s study. But lets go deeper on these lines:

 Romans 12:3 NKJV – For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

Romans 12:16 NKJV – Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

Philippians 2:3 NKJV – Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

Jeremiah 13:15 NKJV – Hear and give ear: Do not be proud, For the LORD has spoken.

Proverbs 16:18 NKJV – Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

Proverbs 21:4 NKJV – A haughty look, a proud heart, And the plowing of the wicked are sin.

James 4:6 NKJV – But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “GOD RESISTS THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.”

Part of being humble is placing all others before ourselves. Be they Christian or not, for we know that the only way to eternity is through Jesus Christ. Since we are to be a reflection of Christ we are to be nice to all especially those that live in sin so that they will learn the Truth and repent.

How can they do this if you look down upon them with a haughty attitude and believe yourselves to be superior to them just as the Muslims see themselves as superior to all others. When you understand the teachings within the Quran. You know one thing for sure. Muslims in no way follow any teachings by Jesus Christ and seek to destroy all others. For in their eyes, they are superior and must dominate, control and destroy all who oppose them.

Therefore, any who says that all of humanity is not our equals, shows they are equal to those that are Muslim, which shows they do not have the love of God within them and are liars. And where again are ALL LIARS destined?

Revelation 21:8 NKJV – But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

The Lukewarm the Walking Dead are Thriving

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

Well, the other day I was forced to listen to conversations between someone close and their friends. In one of these conversations, I listened to the ultimate example of the lukewarm. Now let’s get the formula established that identifies who is amongst the “lukewarm” or more attuned to the present: the foolish bridesmaids.

Revelation 3:15-16 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.

So, a lukewarm is someone who acts hot for God. Praising God saying Hallelujah and then live totally and completely cold for God. Living in wealth and luxury.  How do I know this… check the next verse:

Revelation 3:17 NKJV – 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—

Now, since we have the description established. Let’s continue. So, the person talking was an elderly lady. First thing out of her mouth was just having finished a Bible study about heaven. The details aren’t important for this post. Well soon after she started talking about her seven-year-old granddaughter. The lady mentioned not decorating that much for the holiday “Christmas.” However, she did mention the use of Satan Claus in her décor. Returning to the seven-year-old. She followed her grandma into the kitchen and whispered. “Haven’t you decorated for Christmas yet?” The lady said this with such pride in her voice describing her grandchild.

Then they started talking about nails and nail polish. Again, with extreme pride the lady announced that her granddaughter used a professional manicurist to paint the child’s nails. That the child noted her grandma’s nails needed to be painted and offered to take her grandma to her salon to get their nails painted together.

The hubris and ultimate worshipping of the world excreting from that conversation was just so damning and sad, especially for the seven-year-old.

Luke 17:2 NKJV – It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

Offend – G4624 – skandalizó – To “scandalize”; from G4625; to entrap, that is, trip up (figuratively stumble [transitively] or entice to sin, apostasy or displeasure): – (make to) offend.

This seven-year-old granddaughter has been offended and hasn’t even reached the age of consent and is living in mammon-worship, thus sinning against God. Yet the grandparents and parents are proud of their sinfulness. It is beyond sad for all three generations. They are so blind to their sin because of the great falling away created during the Great Depression. That turned most of that generation into mammon-worshippers. Most actually believing that Christ has given them earthly treasures, which is 100% opposite the teachings of Jesus Christ Himself. Which is reinforced by the 1st letter of John the blessed.

1 John 2:15-16 NKJV – Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

Let’s define once more what it is to be a mammon worshipper.

Those that are mammon-worshippers seek after riches (jewelry, and fancy clothes), money (seeking after and hording earthly wealth beyond what is needed to make it to the next day), possessions (those objects that gather dust all over your houses and as well as luxury vehicles and any vehicle that goes beyond the basic need of transport to places you need to get to) and then property (a huge house beyond the basic need for shelter and/or multiple houses as well as empty land filled with nothing to help those in need.)

This includes allowing little girls to dress like grown women.

Leviticus 19:29 NKJV – ‘Do not prostitute your daughter, to cause her to be a harlot, lest the land fall into harlotry, and the land become full of wickedness.

Prostitute – chalal – H2490 – begin (X men began), defile, X break, defile, X eat (as common things), X first, X gather the grape thereof, X take inheritance, pipe, player on instruments, pollute, (cast as) profane (self), prostitute, slay (slain), sorrow, stain, wound

Which is exactly why most of the so-called 1st world countries ARE full of wickedness. Because people have basically turned their daughters into prostitutes by allow them to dress as grown women. Which is known as polluting the children.

They are polluted by not allowing them to grow in a nurturing environment. Not filled with the pollution caused by mammon worship. But in the instruction and knowledge of the Word of God.

Proverbs 22:6 NKJV – Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Ephesians 6:4 NKJV – And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

Deuteronomy 6:6-7 NKJV – “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

Now I wish to make a note of something real quick. In Ephesians this is said:

“Do not provoke your children to wrath.”

You provoke your children when you beat them. Not spank, beat. A spanking is not beating. Beating is extreme violence. A spanking is restrained and is discipline, which we are required to do.

Proverbs 13:24 NKJV – He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly.

A beating leaves damage. Not only physical, but mental which in turn chases the children away from God and salvation. Because the parent as provoked them to wrath.

Just as allowing them to turn into mammon worshippers leaves scars mentally. For they seek after more and more earthly objects which is totally opposite the teachings of Jesus Christ and leads them into darkness, that they think is light.

Matthew 6:19-24 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. “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.

Only evil and damnation are found in darkness and True followers of Christ are to bring light into the darkness:

Ephesians 5:1-21 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. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.” See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God.

Heaven

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

I wish to approach an issue that most haven’t even begun to realize is a huge false teaching that has been hoisted upon billions of people for centuries. It is the concept that all ends once we appear in heaven. That we will dwell for all eternity in this different reality that is the place called heaven.

This is something that was never promised us. True the thief on the cross was promised to be with Christ in paradise. However, we are shown elsewhere in the Bible that those in hell can see paradise from where they reside. This is Truth.

However, never does Christ, the apostles or the Prophets ever promise eternity in heaven. In actuality in the book Revelation it is made clear that New Jerusalem will descend from heaven and will settle upon the earth. It is from New Jerusalem that Christ will reign as God over the new heavens and new earth.

This shows clearly that what is called heaven or paradise is a temporary holding facility and that is all it is. At this time God and Christ are present there along with those that have endured and followed the narrow path. Nevertheless, the Great White Throne Judgment does not occur in heaven, but upon the earth right after the thousand years reign of Christ which again occurs upon earth. For it is shown that NOTHING unholy can even enter into New Jerusalem, therefore how can anything unholy enter heaven aka paradise?

I usually place Bible verse in these posts. However, with this particular one I have been led not to do so. Why? To make those reading this post to actual study the Word of God and to actually do so themselves. Not listening to or relying upon other humans to do what they themselves are required to be doing.

Discussion

As we come to the end of it all. Confusion runs rampant within all communities, including the so called “Christian” community. There are many ways that this is shown. However, one of the worst is how many are throwing out their versions of how the tribulation will play out. Many even deny the Words of Jesus Christ Himself in this, which is bad, but not the worst.

But what could be worse than denying Christ? Spreading false teachings about the tribulation that will lead people not to seek salvation before it even begins. For in the last chapter of the book of Revelation this is written:

Revelation 22:18-19 NKJV – For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

When I write and talk about the end times, I do my best to stay within Christ’s Words, and that of the Bible. A few times I talked of a dream I had. But it was more symbolism than adding or taking away from the Word of God. As it should be.

When people say things like they see nuclear explosion or that Christians will be present after the Holy Spirit is removed from this temporal existence. They are adding to this prophecy and thus asking God to curse them. Why? Because they haven’t read the Bible nor the book of Revelation to the point of reading the verses listed above. If they had they would be more willing to be silent when it comes to prophecy.

Why?

Because they desire to be in robes of white and believe that they can by speaking out even though they are teaching falsely.

Many though seek the limelight. They seek to be seen as the voice of God. They wish their names to go down in history. Again, showing they have not read the Bible. For they seek to have a legacy which is counter to the Bible as seen in Isaiah:

Isaiah 65:17 NKJV – “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind.

This is why I turn away from any “ministry” where someone entitles it after themselves, for only one being deserves ALL the glory. God through His Son our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This is why any who seeks to have their names remembered in any form show their disloyalty to God by doing so. Which is something they will have to face God about when the time comes.

I have known since the 1980s when I was in my thirties, I was a dreamer of dreams. I knew then that it was within the next ten years that are before us all that Christ would return. As promised by God I do not know the exact day of Christ’s return, just the general timing. This has come to be true, for Christ said this:

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.

When reading the preceding verses before these, we see all the things Christ talked about now taking place at this time. We also see this said about the people in this time frame in 2 Timothy:

2 Timothy 3:1-5 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!

This is how the people behaved in the time of Noah just before the flood occurred. This behavior did not come into fruition until most of humanity abandoned the true teachings found within the Bible. When they kicked God out of the schools in 1962 and then legalized human sacrifice in 1972 under the camouflage name of “abortion.” This is what began the downward spiral of all humanity towards these behaviors which plague all of humanity. Opening the door to the entire world being at the same level of hedonism, while pretending that some aspects are better than others under the label of one religion over another. Living in a type of moral superiority while denying the source of where morality originated. All the while worshiping everything but God through the accurate teachings of Jesus Christ.

I have discussed this before in past podcasts, but I will address this in more detail this time, because I have encountered those that wish to deny the existence of a pretribulation rapture. Which is one of the greatest denials of Jesus Christ Himself, because they are words spoken by Him.

Luke 21:10-27 NKJV – Then He said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name’s sake. But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony. Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will answer; for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist. You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But not a hair of your head shall be lost. By your patience possess your souls. “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

This is all the tribulation prophecies listed in the gospel of Luke. What occurs next in this book is essential to those that wish to understand Christ’s warning to those that wish to be ready for His return in this time.

The warning:

Luke 21:28-33 NKJV – Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

What to do when those that profess to following Christ should be doing once they see these prophecies become reality, which by the way they are.

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.”

From Luke 21:10 – 36 is all linked together. So I will restate the last sentence once again.

“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.”

“That you may be counted worthy to escape all these things.”

All – G3956 – pas – every, the whole.

This is a description of a pretribulation rapture and how to be able to qualify to be worthy to partake within it. This is supported here:

 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 NKJV – For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

Yet how many will be within this calling into the sky? Those that are ready, and how many will that be?

Matthew 7:13-14 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.

Simply stated. Only a few will be in the pretribulation rapture, for only a few will be prepared. This is witnessed by those that insist that there will not be one.

Could this be because they are accepting the lies so when it does occur, they will be able to keep many from finding the truth. So that they will embrace other lies. Like those that say there will be Christians here after the antichrist is revealed. For those that say this discount these verses:

2 Thessalonians 2:1-8 NKJV – Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

“And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.  And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.”

Key wording in these verses which I just restated:

“The mystery of lawlessness is already at work.”

and

“He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.”

The mystery will be who is behind the persecution of those that follow Christ as shown in Revelation 13. However, this truth will be hidden since He cannot be revealed until the “He who now restrains” is taken out of the way.

This is the Holy Spirit, who dwells within those that accept Christ as their Savior.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NKJV – Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Romans 8:9 NKJV – But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

Any with the Holy Spirit within them, must be removed from the face of the earth. Through death or rapture. Then and only then will the antichrist be fully revealed as shown in 2 Thessalonians. This will occur at the midpoint of the tribulation. Shown here:

 Daniel 9:27 NKJV – Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.”

As well as in Revelation 13.

Christ is coming very very soon. I don’t know if I am right, but I refuse to add to or take away from Revelation. Therefore, I strive to make myself ready to be worthy to be counted within the few. How? By attempting to cause others to be ready for His return as well. I seek to glorify only God through His Son our Savior Jesus Christ. The only beings worthy to be glorified.

God Bless

Now as I do this study that is to follow. The “midnight cry” will be shown as something that is in the “past tense.” Meaning it is something that has already been. This is because this is what has actually happened. Nevertheless, most do not wish to accept this Truth, which is why this study exists.

When the midnight cry occurred, the wise bridesmaids said this to the foolish bridesmaids:

Matthew 25:6-10 NKJV – “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. “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.’”

“But go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.”

What is so shocking? They listened and did just that.

Now why do I make this statement in the way I did? This is why:

2 Peter 2:1-3 NKJV – But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.

These “false prophets” make up the majority that stand upon the dais and behind the pulpit of the buildings called “churches.” Note what else the verses say:

“By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words”

And this:

“And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.”

Covetousness – G4124 – avarice, that is, (by implication) fraudulency, extortion: – covetous (-ness) practices, greediness

All that stand before the people in a building called a “church,” live and desire this mentality. Many even to the extreme.

A prime example of this is a very publicly noted occurrence when a so-called pastor berated a woman for not giving the full $2000 “donation” per person he demanded for the entire congregation of a so-called church.

Yet, as I stated ALL do this, just not to this extreme. How do they do this? By stating that once those gathered in this building can live off their 90% once they give the building called a “church” 10%. This is covetousness. For the Bible says this:

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.

1 Timothy 6:6-8 NKJV – Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.

This is how those that profess to being Christian should be living. However, most don’t. They horde their 90% all unto themselves becoming covetous. Becoming mammon-worshippers aka the lukewarm who have been spewed from the body of Christ long ago.

This is why those that ran to churches after September 10th, 2025, showed themselves to be foolish bridesmaids and destined to be left behind as shown in the parable.

Because those that are wise seek knowledge and understanding from the Word of God. By studying the Bible.

Not reading…….. STUDYING.

Breaking down the words written down within the Bible to their original meaning when put down on parchment. This way many misconceptions are destroyed. Misconceptions that have been repeated and grown by false prophets creating more false prophets that pass on sin upon sin.

It is through these false teachings that have corrupted the system that is called religion.

The reason this corruption exists is that when Catholicism took over Christianity only a few centuries after Christ ascended. They introduced rituals that totally removed what originally “gathering together” was meant to be, which was learning the full Word of God. For originally you could only pass on the Word of God through “oral tradition.” Thus, when being taught through “oral tradition” they actually learned the original meaning of the Words and so understood the True meaning of the Gospel. However, this was lost due to the corruption started by early Catholicism and was never truly removed from how the buildings called “churches” came to be setup in the following centuries.   

This corruption is why Christ Himself laid out many of behaviors that are extremely important, making them commandments that He taught during the sermon on the mount. One was already addressed earlier about how we are to handle our earthly wealth. Here are the others:

Matthew 6:1-7 NKJV – “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly. “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. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.

Matthew 6:16-18 NKJV – “Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

What the foolish bridesmaids don’t want to accept is that just because something is done and has been done, it is right. This is a lie and is just continuing the lie to create other foolish bridesmaids. This is the same mentality that Martin Luther encountered from the Catholic church which forced him to place his thesis upon the church door on Oct 31, 1517.

It is this passing on of false teachings that in turn will lead many to awaken to the wrong resurrection. For there are two resurrections.

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.

All that are part of the first resurrection will not face the Great White Throne Judgement.

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

 They, however, will be judges working directly with Jesus Christ Himself.

Those that have been foolish for centuries though will awaken to the second 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.

Revelation 21:8 NKJV – But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

When people think only what is beyond this life is heaven. It shows that they are ignorant of the Truth. For it is made clear within the Word of God that what is beyond this current existence is the new heavens and the new earth where Christ will set His Throne within the Holy city of New Jerusalem. This implies that there is more yet to come that is not required for us to know of at this time. Therefore being aware of this makes it clear to the wise bridesmaids whom the foolish bridesmaids are. Therefore telling them to run to the buildings called “churches” to seek redemption we know at this time is futile. For they have been sealed as what they are: the foolish bridesmaids.

Matthew 25:9-12 NKJV – 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.’

Therefore, they will be left behind. They must now endure the first three and a half years of the tribulation until the Holy Spirit is removed from the face of the earth allowing the antichrist to be fully revealed. Most not even knowing that they themselves are a temple of the Holy Spirt and most be removed as well. Therefore, no True Christian will be present during the last half of the tribulation, when the world is torn and broken. Only those that are loyal to the antichrist and those of the tribes of Israel will be left. For they must be punished for their sins.

The foolish bridesmaids have been sealed into the tribulation, and now must endure what will be called upon them to suffer through for they made themselves foolish and must fix their relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

The New Den of Thieves

In another social media thread God through the Holy Spirit brought my attention to those that go to churches once again. The analogy of one sheep going off a cliff and the rest of the herd following it over the edge comes to mind. Over the edge to true damnation.

The interchange was once again about following the commandment Christ gave us on where we are to pray (Matthew 6:5-6). Yet the Holy Spirit wishes me to expand upon this and show how the buildings called “churches” do more to lead people to damnation instead of salvation. Thus, in reality they are not a place to worship God, but instead a place to worship and follow Satan.

The person like all the spoiled brats that form the majority of Christendom insisted that he was right and the Words spoken by Jesus Christ Himself were wrong.

This “spoiled brat” mentality has its core in religion and is amplifier by the buildings called “churches.”

In our exchange of praying in private he resorted to the old fallback position of: “Do you go to church, because they pray publicly there.”

In simpler terms he just confessed that the buildings called “churches” promote and encourage sin. I mean think about it. They make a show about tithing when giving is to be secret, in fact all giving is to be secret (Matthew 6:1-4). On the topic of the tithe, they encourage all to keep 90% of their earthly wealth, which is opposite Christ’s teaching (Matthew 6:19-21,24). They make a show about dressing up which is flaunting mammon worship. Mammon worship that ties in with keeping most of our earthly wealth.

The modern-day buildings called “churches” create nothing but thieves. Much like the way the second temple had deteriorated into the den of thieves that prompted Christ to losing His temper and overturn the merchants tables. Thieves that steal from God and His eternal plan.

You see we are given a commandment in 1 Timothy:

1 Timothy 6:17-19 NKJV – Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

This is a direct command to keep the majority of our earthly wealth at the ready to help those in need. Yet those that go to churches keep 90% of their earthly wealth or more to worship mammon.

Those that are mammon-worshippers seek after riches (jewelry, and fancy clothes), money (seeking after and hording earthly wealth beyond what is needed to make it to the next day), possessions (those objects that gather dust all over your houses and as well as luxury vehicles and any vehicle that goes beyond the basic need of transport to places you need to get to) and then property (huge house beyond the basic need for shelter and/or multiple houses as well as empty land filled with nothing to help those in need.)

This description describes the majority that enter the buildings called “churches.” Being mammon-worshippers turns them into thieves who horde and care only for their own well-being. In actuality caring nothing for their fellow humans.

It is these mammon-worshippers that caused Atheism. That chased away their children from God and True salvation. That has deteriorated humanity and helped in fulfilling prophecy, which is why these verses were written:

2 Timothy 3:1-5 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!

Most that go to churches are found and seen in these verses. Churches are to be avoided. If you truly seek after God. Study the Word of God yourselves. Not reading, STUDY. There is a huge difference.

People wouldn’t go about say things like the person in the social media thread said, which equaled calling Jesus Christ Himself a liar. Do you understand the implication of those words? That is blasphemy, that is blaspheming the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 12:31 NKJV – “Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.

The name of the Holy Spirit is Jesus Christ. Therefore, when someone says that Christ didn’t say something in the Bible, yet that is not the Truth. They call the Holy Spirit who inspired (2 Timothy 3:16-17) all the Words within the Bible a liar and have blasphemed the Holy Spirit.

Within these buildings called “churches” are little social groups that gather, yet they ignore other people that go to the same church. You will note these groups seek after the same things. They play golf, they drink alcohol, they party. That is the activity of a social club, not what the church is to be like. Only once is a true “church” described within the Bible:

Acts 2:44-47 NKJV – Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.

This was a TRUE “church.” A community that shared everything together. Those who had more shared with those that had less and all shared equally. That is a TRUE community and church. That hasn’t existed for thousands of years. It is something that those that pursue communism promise. However, to date communism has only given wealth to the wealthy and left the poor in starvation and squaller. They use this perfect image of a true Christian community as their poster child. Because people seek after this they believe the lies. Why?

Because the buildings called “churches” are nothing but social clubs that teach and promote false doctrine, That are described in great detail in 2 Peter 2:

 2 Peter 2:1-22 NKJV – But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber. For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)— then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord. But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children. They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man’s voice restrained the madness of the prophet. These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever. For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage. For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A DOG RETURNS TO HIS OWN VOMIT,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”

This is how those within the buildings call “churches” behave. It is all about them. It is only about them. Where is God? Where is Jesus? Oh, in the songs they sing. In the prayers they are not supposed to be doing publicly. At their Super Bowl parties, their golf meets.

The buildings called “Churches” have nothing to do with the True Word of God and have not been that way for decades. If they had then those children that came out of the Great Depression would have all been devote followers of Christ. Instead, they came out horders of earthly wealth and luxuries. Destine not to salvation, but damnation. For these buildings are nothing but a den of thieves.
