  • Why do Ferguson's police officers look like soldiers?
    "The military appearance of the St. Louis County police prompted an outpouring of responses from veterans and policymakers on social media and in statements. Brandon Friedman, a U.S. Army veteran, tweeted a photo of himself deployed in Iraq next to an image of a police officer in Ferguson. “The gentleman on the left has more personal body armor and weaponry than I did while invading Iraq,” Friedman wrote." --Have you seen the video I did some time ago regarding martial law some months back? Most police stations are already armed to the teeth to enforce martial law in their respective areas right now. So, why not use what the government has already spent nearly half a billion dollars on supplying them with? After all.. if you were in the military and had been given a new "toy" wouldn't you want to test it and use it at every opportunity so as to make sure you can wield that weapon properly when called to do so on "that day" Rome drops the other shoe to enforce their mark? That being said, is it any wonder Congressman John Lewis is right now demanding Obama declare Martial Law in Ferguson?  Source: http://news.yahoo.com
  • NHS worker who 'bullied’ Muslim by praying for her  
    "Miss Wasteney said she was challenging her employers in court because political correctness in the NHS was stifling ordinary conversations about faith." --For years we have witnessed a stealth attack against Christianity being waged in the guise of anti-bullying campaigns. Bullying used to be using force or intimidation to dominate other people. Many of us, myself included know all too well about this from the government school playgrounds. But now it seems the term bullying been redefined as merely saying anything that upsets a group of people, even if it's for their spiritual benefit. In 2010 the anti-bullying movement went into full swing via the government controlled mainstream media with the introduction of the 'It Gets Better Project;' a national campaign designed to shame Christians who preach homosexuality is a sin. When the White House's official YouTube page posted a video of President Obama aligning himself with the It Gets Better Project, a blaring signal was sent to the whole world that stated boldly, anyone found preaching true Christian values will not be tolerated. As this story from the UK attests, the bully label will now be applied to Christians for doing anything the Lord commands them to do. Does not the bible command us to preach the gospel and salvation through Jesus Christ alone? But as we see here, this woman was punished due to the claim she was committing the act of bullying for sharing her faith in Jesus with a Muslim. Apparently that now counts as an attempt at 'forced' conversion. Yet the bloodstained machete wielding Muslim holding the heads of martyred Christians is not. How long will it be until sharing the truth about Sabbath or even God's Law for that matter is considered bullying? It'll be said we are trying to force people to reject the admitted unbiblical Catholic Sunday Sabbath when all we are actually doing is gently warning people with Scripture so as to let them make up their own minds. Satan knows many will see the truth for what it is, and so he has decided to fight against it just as prophecy predicted long ago. Don't let this turn of events trouble you brothers and sisters. By today's standard, Jesus was a bully who tried forcing the Pharisees to convert. And as Paul said so eloquently in Acts 24:14, "But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:" Source: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/
  • Actually, that's not in the Bible
    "It is a great Protestant tradition for anyone - milkmaid, cobbler, or innkeeper - to be able to pick up the Bible and read for herself. No need for a highly trained scholar or cleric to walk a lay person through the text," says Craig Hazen, director of the Christian Apologetics program at Biola University in Southern California. But often [they] start creating biblical passages without the guidance of biblical experts, he says." --That's quite a damning statement against Christians from a man who is part of the problem. It's the so-called biblical experts who are finding things that aren't there. Just to name a few, these so called theologians teach Sunday is the Sabbath, seven year tribulation, Islamic antichrist, gibberish is a gift of the Holy Spirit, a microchip is the mark of the beast, the Jews are forever the chosen people, Christians can never lose their salvation, a secret rapture, 1000 years of peace, humans never sleep in death? Truth is, none of those things can be found in the bible. But the belief in these false doctrines are rampant within most Protestant churches today. The modern-day counterparts to the hypocritical scribes and Pharisees of 2000 years ago are what Mr. Hazen terms 'highly trained scholars or clerics' today. To paraphrase Matthew 5:20 we can see that except your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of Craig Hazen and the other so called biblical experts, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. This story is from 3 years ago yes, but I don't only share it because it illustrates why the churches of today are so doctrinally corrupt, I also share it because it proves CNN has been in cahoots with the Roman Catholic Church to promote the Catholic's counterfeit Sabbath and this proves their loyalty to the RCC goes back even further than that. Have they been Rome's puppets since their first broadcast in 1980? I really don't know, but it does make sense to assume they were as not many media giants were allowed airtime access unless they agreed with Rome day one. Their ratings might not be so great now, but nonetheless they've been a major political and cultural influence in both this country and abroad. So is does appear Jesuits would've infiltrated them early on. I have no doubt their competitors are Vatican propaganda tools as well; though maybe not quite as obvious as this article illustrates at times. Source: http://religion.blogs.cnn.com
  • Guess who militarized the cops
    "The first thing to hit me was the way Washington was arming to the teeth federal agencies not previously known for being police-style agencies. When the Environmental Protection Agency starting packing heat, I took notice. That’s right, 1997. Do you know who was president in 1997? " --William Jefferson Clinton was president in 1997. But it gets worse. Are you also aware that he was the ONLY president on record that attended Jesuit owned Georgetown University and was personally trained by Jesuits to run this nation as a president? He is also the president that gave life unto Roman Catholic John F. Kennedy's "Executive Order" agenda. Coincidence? Not likely. When you find information like this, you begin to realize just how easy it is to expose the Roman Catholic church as home to Antichrist. It also makes it more believable to skeptics when you show them Jesuit quotes like... "The old Protestant culture is about at the end of its rope... Why can't we make the U.S. Catholic in legislation, Catholic in justice, aims and ideals?" (-Father F. X. Talbot, editor of America, official jesuit magazine for the U.S. statement in New York Globe Dec. 14, 1930.) Now do you understand why students of prophecy keep saying Rome must militarize our police force if they ever hope to enforce their mark? Also notice this. One of the reasons America doesn't have a king is because it would be too easy for the people to eventually realize who the Roman puppeteer was of their King. But, if you prevent presidents from holding office for more than 4-8 years. The constant change of command keeps the people from getting all the info they need before the next president takes office.

Continuing from last month...

So...the French Revolution was initiated by agents of Rome to further quench the truth. In fact, the revolution was a movement that was totally against any form of religion. Anyone found embracing the Truth in Scripture were destroyed openly and completely. The massacre of Bartholomew is open evidence of that fact. The historic facts and figures can be researched in the book, AGE OF REASON" by Thomas Paine if you have a mind to look into it. This book was sweeping the Nation at that time declaring a belief in self over and above the Lord as being the proper thing to do. So, to understand this prophecy, we need to ask, did France make war on the Bible during this Revolution as the prophecy intimates?

  • "France declared war on the Bible in 1793. A decree passed on the French assembly declaring the Bible forbidden, and under the decree the Bible was gathered and burned and all the institutions of the Bible abolished. Baptism and commuion abolished. The being of God denied and death declared an eternal sleep. The goddess of "reason" was set up in the person of a vile woman and publically worshipped." -Midnight Cry p.47 by George Storrs 
    "On the 17th of June, Camille Jordan, in the `Council of Five Hundred,' brought up the memorable report on the `Revision of the laws relative to religious worship.'...the Bible had been slain in France from November, 1793, till June, 1797....[Then] the Bible, so long and so sternly repressed before, was placed in honor, and was openly the Book of free Protestantism."(George Croly, The Apocalypse of St. John, p 181-183, (1828); quoted in Source Book, p 615-616.

    "On the 10th of November [1793] an ass, dressed out in a sacerdotal habit, was led in procession through the town [of Paris] by two `san culottes,' carrying a sacred cup, out of which they gave the animal drink; and when they arrived at one of the public edifices, Bibles, books of devotion, etc., were piled up in a heap, which was set on fire amidst horrid shouts from a vast concourse of people...Wherever a Bible could be found it might be said to be persecuted to death...it is a remarkable circumstance that 26 theaters in Paris were open and filled to overflowing [to celebrate]..."(J.G. Lorimer, An Historical Sketch of the Protestant Church of France, p 530-532, (1841); quoted in Source Book For Bible Students, p 614.

On the exact date of November 10, 1793, the French National Assembly decreed in Paris that the Christian religion should be abolished, and the Bible suppressed at all costs. With that declaration the Old and New Testaments of the Bible were prophetically killed just as the prophecy stated. Did you also notice the prophetic admission of the articles I just wrote when it came to killing the Bible? One of the authors actually said "the Bible had been slain in France." The prophecy was fulfilled!

During this “age or reason” all the Bibles were burned in public to demonstrate their complete rejection of the Almighty and His will. It was then the Vatican contrived "goddess of reason" was declared the truth during this time by the leaders of the movement. The people actually rejoiced over the fact they got the Bible out of their lives. They celebrated, they sent gifts to one another, they rejoiced in great multitudes. And yes, prophecy even saw this long before its time. As we saw in Revelation 11:10 it stated plainly that, "And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth." A sobering thought is that this sounds like today doesn't it? Whenever you share the Bible with some people today they get extraordinarily angry with you.

Question: Did Jesus Create Wine or Grape Juice?

Over the years many have claimed Jesus made alcoholic wine at the Wedding of Cana, or at the last supper. However, the Word of God is rather plain in that this is not the case at all.
• Mark 14:23-25, "And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God."

Common sense tells us that the mention of drinking this wine "NEW" in the kingdom of God means it is in fact "New Wine" But what is "New Wine" in Scripture?
• Isaiah 65:8, "Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all."

Here it is obvious that new wine simply means the juice of grapes. A cluster is what you find on a grape vine. This being the case, this means the word "wine" in Scripture is used to speak of both fermented as well as unfermented grape juice just like the word meat can be used to describe fruit, bread, and flesh in Scripture.
• Genesis 1:29, "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."
• Leviticus 2:4, "And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil."
• Genesis 27:9, "Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:"

To further verify this as fact, as Christians we know that a prophet of God would never do that which is considered sin. The prophet Daniel and his understudies refused the King's wine in their day further proving that it had to have been fermented wine he was offering them.
• Daniel 1:8, "But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself." If fermented wine would cause Daniel to defile himself, then it could not have been fermented wine Jesus used to represent His blood at the last supper either. If a prophet won't do it, surely the Lord who speaks to those prophets wouldn't do it either.

Causes of Disease  

Satan is the originator of disease.... There is a divinely appointed connection between sin and disease.... Sin and disease bear to each other the relationship of cause and effect.—Testimonies for the Church 5:443.
 Disease never comes without a cause. The way is first prepared, and disease invited by disregarding the laws of health.—How to Live, 70.
 Sickness is caused by violating the laws of health.—Testimonies for the Church 3:164.
 The majority of diseases which the human family have been and are still suffering under, have been created by ignorance of their own organic law.—The Health Reformer, October 1, 1866.

HEREDITY
 Many are suffering in consequence of the transgressions of their parents; they cannot be censured for their parents’ sins, but it is nevertheless their duty to ascertain wherein their parents violated the laws of their being; and wherein their parents’ habits were wrong, they should change their course, and place themselves, by correct habits, in a better relation to health.—The Health Reformer, August 1, 1866.
 Through disease transmitted to them from their parents, and an erroneous education in youth, they have imbibed wrong habits, injuring the constitution, affecting the brain, causing the moral organs to become diseased, and making it impossible for them to think and act rationally upon all points.—The Review and Herald, March 11, 1880.

IMPURE AIR
 The effects produced by living in close, ill-ventilated rooms are these: The system becomes weak and unhealthy, the circulation is depressed, the blood moves sluggishly through the system because it is not purified and vitalized by the pure, invigorating air of heaven. The mind becomes depressed and gloomy, while the whole system is enervated; and fevers and other acute diseases are liable to be generated.... The system is peculiarly sensitive to the influence of cold. A slight exposure produces serious diseases.—Testimonies for the Church 1:702.

IMPERFECT BREATHING
 Stomach, liver, lungs, and brain are suffering for want of deep, full inspirations of air.—Testimonies for the Church 2:67.

INDOOR LIFE
 Close confinement indoors makes women pale and feeble, and results in premature death.—The Health Reformer, April 1, 1871. IMPROPER DIET
 Indulging in eating too frequently, and in too large quantities, overtaxes the digestive organs, and produces a feverish state of the system. The blood becomes impure, and then diseases of various kinds occur.—Spiritual Gifts Volume 4a, 133.
 The time women devote to studying how to prepare food in a manner to suit the perverted appetite is worse than lost; ... for they are only learning the most successful way to tear down and debase the physical, mental, and moral faculties by gluttony. Then, as a natural result, comes sickness.—The Health Reformer, October 1, 1866.
 It is the wrong habit of indulgence of appetite, and the careless, reckless inattention to the proper care of the body, that tells upon the people. Habits of cleanliness, and care in regard to that which is introduced into the mouth, should be observed.—Unpublished Testimonies, July 10, 1896.

OVEREATING
 What influence does overeating have upon the stomach?—It becomes debilitated, the digestive organs are weakened, and disease, with all its train of evils, is brought on as the result.—Testimonies for the Church 2:364.
 And the dyspeptic—what has made him dyspeptic is taking this course. Instead of observing regularity, he has let appetite control him, and has eaten between meals.—Testimonies for the Church 2:374.

Continuing from last month...

But you ask, HOW does speaking in tongues make a non-believer believe? Well, we need to go back to Pentecost Sunday the FIRST time tongues was used to understand this fact.
• Acts 2:1-12, "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?"

The Holy Spirit falls upon the men of God. They step out onto the balconey before the crowd the Lord actually assembled before them from all different nations. This is no mistake people! There were people from MANY different regions standing there because the Lord knew what He was going to have occur there. They ALL spoke different languages, yet they ALL heard the Apostles speaking in their native tongues even though the Apostles were speaking as Galileans! THAT my friend is the real definition of tongues! Many Christians have no doubt heard the stories that have surfaced from places like Inda, Africa, as well as many other places in the World how missionary preachers spoke in languages other than their own. Many reports have come back sounding like this...

"I was preaching before a crowd of people that spoke only Swaheeli. I being an English speaking man, realized a problem here. So I found a man that could translate that which I declared from the Word of God in English into Swaheeli for the native people gathering before me. However, more often than not, part way through the sermon my translator would suddenly STOP translating. Why? The people would ask him to stop because they said I was speaking perfect Swaheeli to them!"

Have you heard of such things as these? I have. This my friend is TONGUES. Not the "gibberish" you see people doing in the churches today. Tongues is a REAL language given by the Almighty so as to break the language barrier for the proclamation of the Gospel. And what do you think happens when someone starts to miraculously speak in your native tongue before your very eyes about the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Let's jump to the end of the Bible story about the Apostles first time speaking in tongues to see if what happened then, is happening now...
• Acts 2:37-41, "Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls."

  • Pope's small car fascinates South Koreans
    "Francis' frugality and humble demeanor have received wide coverage in South Korea, a fiercely competitive country that celebrates ostentatious displays of status and wealth." --Revelation 13:3 said the all the world would wonder after the beast, especially after his wound was healed, so it's no surprise to see the media fawning over Pope Francis. Still it's fascinating to see them gush so much love and admiration on Francis over something as trivial as him riding around in a compact car. I just did a web search for 'Pope Kia Soul' at Bing and it came up with almost 3 1/2 million results. It seems every media outlet on the planet is covering this non-event with such glowing accolades for Francis that you'd think the man just brought peace and safety to the whole world. Hundreds of thousands of Christians are being killed each year now for their faith and even though this pope has barely lifted a finger to help them, nary a single media source has asked him why! Yet they clamor to his side when he steps into a new sports car? Two factors are at play here. #1, they need to keep the truth out of the media regarding the prophesied "little time of trouble" that Revelation 20:4 speaks of that confirms the mark is about to be enforced. It also allows for the prophesied "peace and safety" agenda of the Vatican that 1 Thessalonians 5:3 speaks of. #2, doing so causes the pope to be worshipped by all as if his "admitted" blood stained hands are as clean as the driven snow. But, students of prophecy know better. And they know better only because they are obedient to the Lord.

  • Two inmates beheaded in Brazil prison riot: authorities 
    "Inmates rioting to press for better facilities in an overcrowded Brazilian jail have beheaded two fellow prisoners and taken two guards hostage, officials said." --If the prisoner's were rioting for better living conditions why would they decapitate their fellow prisoner's? Demons have been prodding men to do this for thousands of years. In 1 Chronicles 10:10 we read of the Philistines taking the decapitated head of King Saul into the temple of Dagon as a trophy. Dagon is one of Satan's countless alias's and it's him and his demons who are the driving force behind this nightmarish practice. Dagon was a Babylonian god in the form of a fish and his priests represented him by wearing a fish as a mitre with the tail hanging down their backs. It seems most of the general public fails to realize that the satanic priests of Dagon still exist only now they're called Popes. Man was made in the image of God, so Satan and his followers take great delight in desecrating God's image in many disgusting ways. This is just one of them. Revelation 20:4 tells us this is the Vatican's preferred method of execution, so in these last days it should come as no surprise beheadings are becoming common news headlines. Soon, like school shootings, they'll cease to even be front page news unless the death toll is higher than usual or the act is more gruesome than most. Once this country publicly reveals the 30,000 guillotines stored on American soil, beheadings will be more common than fender benders, and most killings won't even make the evening news.

  • British Officials Condemn Biblical Creation, Compare It to Radical Islam  
    "Earlier this summer, the United Kingdom government banned the teaching of creation as scientifically valid in all public schools. Government officials ruled at the time that the creation versus evolution debate could be discussed - just as long as evolution is presented as scientifically valid while creation is presented as an unsubstantiated belief." --The ruling that creationism can only be taught as an invalid theory in British schools happened this past June. But in July, Britain got a new Education Secretary, Nicky Morgan, and now she's ruling that creationism cannot be taught at all, even if you suggest it's only a theory. Doing so will cause the school's funding could get cut off. This is imply more proof all government schools are not safe for Christian children. The UK Telegraph's version of this story claims an unnamed government source said "We are absolutely not saying, "You can’t teach Bible stories." Maybe that's the case, but two things are clearly evident. First, some bible subjects are going to be completely off limits, and you better believe the bible's teachings on homosexuality won't be allowed either. Second, even the stories you can mention are obviously only going to be allowed if you present them as a myth. After all, only an 'extremist' would dare claim the bible is true in their view. When I was a kid, people who had strong religious convictions were called zealots or legalists. Still, they were tolerated for the most part. Today, those who stand firm in bible truth are labeled extremists and viewed as threats who need to be silenced and even killed if need be. Just a couple of weeks ago we posted this story about a woman who was accused of "bullying" a Muslim coworker by sharing her Christian faith. That incident happened in the UK. But don't think these things aren't happening in America as well. Christians in the EU and US are still getting off easy compared to most of the world. But our governments are now openly showing hatred towards us. So we need to make sure we're spiritually prepared for what's coming. Source: http://christiannews.net
