Headlines Declare Mark of the Beast (Sunday Law) is Coming!
  • VIDEO: Rome Readying for Sunday Laws
    As expected, disobedient church leaders are right now putting forth a concerted effort to suggest church "action" is now necessary to address the increase in calamities around the world. If you are a student of prophecy you know this "action" will eventually lead to the long prophesied excuse that Sunday Laws are needed to appease God so as to stop the disasters. We also know this excuse will be fabricated as a way to stop the Loud Cry from proceeding. That being said, ARE YOU doing your part to proclaim the Loud Cry?Source: http://www.youtube.com
  • Iranian Leader Celebrates: U.S. Has ‘Given Up’  
    ""Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei took to the stage last week to proclaim the U.S. has "given up" on using military force to stop its ambitions and to boast that a worldwide "Islamic Awakening" cannot be stopped." --This is exactly what was to be expected when we all saw how Obama helped a deserter get home after releasing 5 top officials in the Taliban. Islamic leaders would see this as an open sign of weakness on our part (as planned) and then Rome's puppets in DC could be called upon to allow Rome's puppets in Islam to run rampant across the land so as to further shore up the foundation needed to enforce the mark. The entire world truly is a stage. Problem is, the ones directing it are quite evil and rather childish when you look closer. Once they realize what they gave up for the chance to sit on the top of this huge ball of dirt, weeping and gnashing of teeth will ensue. Source: http://www.wnd.com
  • Teachers Leave Archdiocese of Cincinnati Over Controversial ‘Morality Clause’ in New Contract  
    "For teachers like Shumate, whose son is gay, the clause threatens to pit teachers against friends and family in order to keep their jobs". --The mixing of truth and error is a fruit of Babylon and stories like this confirm the Catholic church has no light in them. Like the proverbial broken clock being right twice a day, they are correct that Catholic school teachers should be held to high moral standards when teaching the kids. But it's a joke for Catholic leaders to pretend they view homosexuality as a sin when it's running so rampant among the priesthood worldwide and the Vatican prelates are known to be 98% homosexual. The real agenda behind this is totally obvious now. The Vatican desperately wants this "morality clause" to be challenged in court so they can see if civil judges will uphold its legality and then move from there. If the courts do as they hope, the church will simply rewrite, and keep rewriting this contract until they can make it etched in stone and legally binding. Then their political cronies in DC will be able to draft unchallengeable laws that build up the foundation necessary to mandate employers enforce a "morality clause" with their hirelings forcing them to keep Sunday as a compulsory day of rest when they enforce their mark. After all, it's awfully hard to be able to buy and sell when you're not getting a paycheck. The prophet Daniel said this beast would be crafty in how he is able to manipulate the laws of the land, and seeing how they do all they can to hide their agenda regarding Sunday law, they fail to realize there are some out there that do have eyes that see. In fact, if it wasn't for our studies and sermons, most Roman prelates would be clueless as to what will happen next. Still, even with knowing what the prophecy entails, they can only hide their tracks so well. The obedient remnant people will still out them and the Loud Cry will just get that much louder.

  • Scientist’s Plan to End Tornadoes Would Have 100-mile Giant Wall in Texas
    "It certainly would work [to block tornadoes], nature already tells us it works," said professor Rongjia Tao, who wrote the paper due to be published in the International Journal for Modern Physics B". --When Nimrod tried to build a tower tall enough to survive a worldwide flood, the Lord confounded the languages of the workers so they couldn't communicate and get the work done. Thus the plans were abandoned. But for all intents and purposes, they got off easy. The people of Jericho built themselves a wall for protection as well, but when the Lord decided to tear it down, there was nothing they could do to stop it. As expected, there's nothing new under sun as now some physicist thinks he can build a massive superstructure to protect us from nature's fury. Or is it to better corral those fleeing the enforcement of Rome's mark? Time will tell. In any event, will this thing really ever be built? I doubt it. But since politicians love to waste peoples time and money, who can know? If they do build it, the Lord could easily send a whirlwind, quake or even a hailstorm that would reduce it to 100 mile's worth of gravel in seconds. Still, in opposition to manmade protections, we know that our Lord offers us all a wall of protection to dwell safely behind; the 10 commandments. But the man of sin and his deceived followers have created a breach in that prophetic wall and they are now trying to bring the whole thing crumbling down. However the Lord's end-time remnant people will be the repairers of the breach just as prophesied. Still, we need more people who are willing to do the work. A 1000-foot tall, 100-mile long wall is nothing compared to the safe haven Jesus Christ offers freely to those willing to love and obey Him in truth and righteousness. But, if you are one that knows the importance of the work, but as Proverbs 22:13 says is as, "The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets." Please reconsider. We need those with the trust of God deep within that have seen with faith how the thrown pebble sank, the axe head floated, the lions mouths were closed, fires caused no harm and loved ones healed.

  • Chris Christie: U.S. Has Lost Its Moral Leadership Under Obama
    "Christie said America's credibility is being undermined by the Administration sending inconsistent signals about "who our friends are ... and who our enemies are." He added the U.S. must "be the strongest moral power for what is good and what is right in the world." --That's all well and good, but... This is how Rome has always worked. And yes, I said ROME because Rome took over the USA as prophecy predicted long ago. As historic record and prophecy confirms, Rome makes political friends and enemies and then swaps loyalty behind closed doors so as to play one against the other for the sole benefit of Roman interests. AND, we mustn't forget that Rome will enforce Sunday Laws first in America because as it has always been, all other nations like to emulate America. So.. as we see starting already, a "need for morality" will be spoken from numerous political lecterns so that religious law can be implemented without too much opposition. And seeing how Christians are becoming third class citizens in the US already, our voice will be ignored just as prophecy said. The majority of Americans already believes Sunday is Sabbath, and the majority already believes DC needs to clean up their act. Therefore, when the calamities increase off the charts, and the Loud Cry gets too loud for them to handle anymore, they will declare it is time to "be the strongest moral power for what is good and what is right in the world." Prophecy WILL be fulfilled. Source: http://time.com

 Continuing from last month...

OK, the two witnesses were just described as "two olive trees" and "two candlesticks" in Revelation 11:4. Before going further I always like to check and see if any aspect of a prophecy is repeated elsewhere in the Word. Doing so makes defining the symbols that much easier. In Zechariah 4:2-4 we read, "I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?"

This is what I truly find fascinating about prophecy and the Scriptures. There are actually many instances in the Word of God where the symbols are directly defined after a prophet sees them in vision. That is a good thing because it allows us a quick and precise definition. So... what are these symbols defined as?

  • Zechariah 4:5-6, "Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts."

As we see in this passage, the definition of the two olive trees which hold the oil and the lampstands which bear light are actually defined as something resulting from the work of the Spirit of God and not the power or might of mankind. So almost immediately we discover that the two witnesses cannot possibly be "men." However, it doesn't end there by any means. There are numerous aspects to this prophecy that further confirm this as fact. And please remember that, "...no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." -2 Peter 1:20-21. In other words, my opinion of what a prophetic symbol means is useless. It can only be defined by the same Author that penned it. And when it comes to prophecy, that Author is our God. In fact, Christians have always known that the Word of God is most definitely defined as a righteous source of light, for it is written...

  • 2 Corinthians 4:6, "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."
  • Psalms 119:105, "...Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."

  • 2 Peter 1:19, "We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:"

  • Psalms 119:130, "The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

 Question: Is Tithing Still Valid Today?

Continuing from last month...

So, when you tithe, the word says in Colossians the following truth.

  • Colossians 3:23, "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;"

In other words, we do not tithe to people; no matter how blessed they may appear to be. The tithe belongs to God and God alone. Yes, we give it to the men of God, but they are ordained of God to use the tithe for His good purpose. We need not worry about how the tithing is used because God will protect His money and he will make sure you are blessed for giving it. However, if you tithe to a minister, or a church that you know for a fact is in apostasy, then you will be held accountable for funding such a work that cripples the work of Christ. Make sure the man of God you tithe to is preaching that which the Lord has written in the Word and nothing else, and make sure he is not yoked with a denomination known to preach heresy and even waste the tithe on ungodly things. there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth."

Is it sin not to tithe?

  • Malachi 3:8, "Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings."

Yes, to rob is to steal, and what does commandment #8 say?

  • Exodus 20:15, "Thou shalt not steal."

If you knowingly deny God His tithe, you not only steal from God, you are personally doing your part to stop the funding of the Gospel message in these last days. You will be held accountable! What does the Lord say concerning those that rob Him?

  • Malachi 3:9, "Ye are cursed with a curse for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation."

How far does this curse go? What happens to those that steal from God?

  • 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

If you steal the tithe from God, you are a thief who covets that which is not his, and you will not gain Heaven, for it is written that in Heaven, , "..there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life." -Revelation 21:27

Psalms 19:7-10, “The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD [is] pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether. More to be desired [are they] than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Romans 7:12, “Wherefore the law [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. “

Kind Acts and Pleasant Words Promote Health

Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. Proverbs 16:24{ML 152.1} 

Kind, cheerful, encouraging words will prove more effective than the most healing medicines. These will bring courage to the heart of the desponding and discouraged, and the happiness and sunshine brought into the family by kind acts and encouraging words will repay the effort tenfold. The husband should remember that much of the burden of training his children rests upon the mother, that she has much to do with molding their minds. This should call into exercise his tenderest feelings, and with care should he lighten her burdens. He should encourage her to lean upon his large affections and direct her mind to heaven, where there is strength and peace and a final rest for the weary.  {ML 152.2}

His kindness and loving courtesy will be to her a precious encouragement, and the happiness he imparts will bring joy and peace to his own heart.  {ML 152.3}

The sweetest type of heaven is a home where the Spirit of the Lord presides. . . . Anything that would mar the peace and unity of the family should be firmly repressed, and kindness and love should be cherished.  {ML 152.4}

Home should be a place where cheerfulness, courtesy, and love abide; and where these graces dwell, there will abide happiness and peace.  {ML 152.5}

Those who are fighting the battle of life at great odds may be refreshed and strengthened and encouraged by little attentions which cost nothing. Kindly words simply spoken, little attentions simply bestowed, will sweep away the clouds of temptation which gather over the horizon of the soul.  {ML 152.6} 
   
Under the influence of meekness, kindness, and gentleness, an atmosphere is created that will heal and not destroy.

How oft we trouble borrow,
And suffer mental pain,
Conjuring clouds to-morrow,
While yet no signs of rain;
Future gloom foreboding,
At night on pillows toss,
In fear of overloading,
The bridge we never cross.

From road there is no turning
That we can see just now,
Trouble ahead discerning,
To avoid we know not how;
And so we roll and tumble
At night, with sleep a loss,
And hear the distant rumble
On the bridge we never cross.

-----Advent Review and Sabbath Herald July 29, 1902


“The view held by some that spirituality is a detriment to health, is the sophistry of Satan. The religion of the Bible is not detrimental to the health of either body or mind. The influence of the Spirit of God is the very best medicine for disease. Heaven is all health; and the more deeply heavenly influences are realized, the more sure will be the recovery of the believing invalid. The true principles of Christianity open before all a source of inestimable happiness. Religion is a continual well-spring, from which the Christian can drink at will, and never exhaust the fountain.”  Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene p13

Continuing from last month...

The Lord has given me a view of other worlds. Wings were given me, and an angel attended me from the city to a place that was bright and glorious. The grass of the place was living green, and the birds there warbled a sweet song. The inhabitants of the place were of all sizes; they were noble, majestic, and lovely. They bore the express image of Jesus, and their countenances beamed with holy joy, expressive of the freedom and happiness of the place. I asked one of them why they were so much more lovely than those on the earth. The reply was, "We have lived in strict obedience to the commandments of God, and have not fallen by disobedience, like those on the earth." . . . I begged of my attending angel to let me remain in that place. I could not bear the thought of coming back to this dark world again. Then the angel said, "You must go back, and if you are faithful, you, with the 144,000, shall have the privilege of visiting all the worlds and viewing the handiwork of God." -Ellen G. White Adventist Home page 543.2


That's right! The modern day proven PROPHET of the Lord, Sister White confirms that which Scriptures declare! The Word states plainly that there ARE "other worlds does it not?

  • Hebrews 1:2, "Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;"
  • Hebrews 11:3, "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."
  • Psalms 97:6, "The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory."

Sister White merely illustrates that which is written with the eyes of a prophet. We will reign over those that live on the other worlds the Almighty created! And by the way, why are they considered "unfallen beings" on these other worlds? Satan and his minions were ONLY cast to this planet!

  • Luke 10:18, "And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven."
  • Revelation 12:9, "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."

And we are the ONLY race of beings in the Universes that will know firsthand the knowledge of "good and evil." Therefore we will be good Ambassadors for Christ on these other worlds. It makes all those trials and tribulations seem well worth it now eh?!

In other words...
ARE YOU NOW IN TRAINING TO BE AN AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST TO WITNESS ON OTHER WORLDS? OR ARE YOU NOW IN TRAINING TO BURN?

  • Isaiah 64:4, "For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him."
  • 1 Corinthians 2:9, "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."

"The life on earth is the beginning of the life in heaven; education on earth is an initiation into the principles of heaven; the lifework here is a training for the lifework there. What we now are, in character and holy service, is the sure foreshadowing of what we shall be.  "The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister." Matthew 20:28. Christ's work below is His work above, and our reward for working with Him in this world will be the greater power and wider privilege of working with Him in the world to come."  -Education p308

 

Proverbs  7:1-3, “My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.  Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.”

  • VIDEO: Mercury Level in Vaccines 25,000 Times Higher than EPA Limits
    "Testing of influenza vaccines by Natural News found concentrations of mercury 25,000 times higher than the EPA allows in drinking water. The highest concentrations seen in the vaccines were 100 times higher than Natural News had ever previously tested. These high levels of the toxin were measured in samples of Flulaval, manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline." --Only in the end times will you see such insanity. This is actually like a mad scientist has absolute control now over the AMA. No one in their right mind would ever think to place a drop of mercury, let alone a dose 25,000 times that into a vaccine for children as little as 30 years ago. But today, the mindset is all about profits, and since the AMA is working hand in hand with the US Government and thanks to that fact lawsuits against them are next to impossible to win, they pump deadly toxins into children knowing three things. #1, within 15 to 30 years they are guaranteed a customer that will shell out tens of thousands to stay alive. #2, they may get a customer in as little as 3 years when the child's brain is fried with autism. #3, the fact the toxins they inject can take years and sometimes decades to do their work, connecting the disease to the vaccine is next to impossible in court. Again, only in the end times as such ABSOLUTE insanity ignored! Source: https://www.youtube.com
  • VIDEO: Homosexual Pride Parade Praised, Condemned) 
    "Downtown (homosexual) event is polarizing for community." --The man that sent out the alert to the citizens is 100% correct. This LGBT parade is nothing more than a "sex parade" as he puts it. If the LGBT community wants to be considered normal, why is it they act so abnormal at every event they put on? For example, when heterosexuals have a parade, they don't bring their bedroom items, lingerie or even perverted sex toys out onto the city streets in front of children declaring their sexual rights are etched in stone and everyone must know what they like to do in bed. No, they act like responsible adults and understand such things are simply not appropriate in public. And no, it's not all about the fact that I am a Christian and see this perverted activity as being sinful. I know atheists and even some homosexuals that find these parades offensive. But, these are the last days and as Jesus predicted, the demons that moved the lost to perform similar acts in public back in the days of Sodom are running rampant today. Just one more reason to leave the cities eh? Source: https://www.youtube.com
  • Baker Forced to Make Gay Wedding Cakes 
    "A family owned bakery has been ordered to make wedding cakes for gay couples and guarantee that its staff be given comprehensive training on Colorado's anti-discrimination laws after the state's Civil Rights Commission determined the Christian baker violated the law by refusing to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple." --This now confirms that Christians are considered to be third class citizens in the so called "Christian" nation of America! Had this baker been Muslim, the homosexuals would never have approached him to demand a cake. Why? They fear the Muslims. But, these cowards moved by the ultimate coward "beelzebub" figures the Christians are a push over because they prefer to show love and turn the other cheek. But I have to say when that eastern sky splits, they will finally see we allowed them to do as they pleased because we really do love them enough to tell them the truth. Sad thing is, reality dictates that when that sky splits, it will be too late for the majority. They mocked the Lord "in who hand their breath is" (Daniel 5:23) and they will be destroyed. For Revelation 6:17 also says that "the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?" This time when "they" see Jesus, He will be arriving as both our King as well as Conqueror over those that persecute us. All those that have "pierced Him" will die on that day. (Revelation 1:7) By the way.. did you notice what the Baker said when the government tried to force him to deny his faith? He said, and I quote, "There/s civil disobedience," Phillips told me. "We’ll see what happens. I'm not giving up my faith. Too many people have died for this faith to give it up that easily." And to that God's people says AMEN and amen and amen!Source: http://www.foxnews.com
  • VIDEO: Pope Could Approve a Miracle Attributed to Paul VI  
    "Cardinals and Bishops of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints have approved a miracle attributed to the intercession of Pope Paul VI." --I have no doubt they will work towards canonization of this evil man as the Vatican is still in need of a public relations facelift. After their recent mockery of the Lord and sainthood itself when they granted sainthood to 2 other evil Popes, they saw how the people flooded in worship to Rome. Plus, we must also keep in mind how Pope Paul VI, like his predecessors and ancestors, was instrumental in bringing about the necessary changes in church society so as to assure an easy enforcement of the mark when that day comes. In fact, this Pope, like a few of the others, sports the 666 with pride, but not in as blatant a manner as John Paul II did. Notice what was "hidden" in Pope Paul VI's signature.
