• The Trade and Industry Adheres to Sunday Nonworking
  "Members of the Board of the Centre for Trade and Industry (CCI), showed their commitment to bill submitted by the Julian Moon through which the closure of shops on Sundays is sought to ensure, in this manner, the rest of the workers". --This article was converted from Spanish to English through Google translate and some of it is badly translated. The last paragraph in particular is poorly worded; but you will notice that same paragraph identifies Argentina as the place where this is happening. Why is that important? First of all, it's where the present Jesuit Pope stood as Cardinal for decades. It this very same Pope who declared he will do all he can to uplift Sunday as law due to his hatred of Sabbath keepers. He harbors this hatred because his own blood brother is SDA. This is the first time I've heard of any South American country officially trying to push Sunday laws through their legislature. We have watched for over a decade how the European Union has been working to legislate Sunday as a legal day of rest, and so are the Members of the Knesset (MK) in Israel. (MK = Israel's version of congress) In case you missed it, those two articles just linked were dated from January and February of this year! All over the world, Sunday laws are rapidly approaching. They are already included in the constitution of the United States (see page 13) in the form of blue laws set up by Roman Catholic President John F. Kennedy, though not yet being "legally" enforced. But just as we saw them take 52 to enforce the 501c3, we will see them enforce Sunday Laws when the time is right politically. As was prophesied, labor and trade unions are already being used to bring these things to fruition. Source: http://www.translate.google.com

• Cameron Rejects Support for Separation of Church and State  
  "David Cameron has said he disagrees with Nick Clegg in his support for the separation of Church and State, and the disestablishment of the Church of England. The Prime Minister was quoted in the Independent today as saying: "I think our arrangements work well in this country. We are a Christian country, we have an established church." --As expected, all the churches under the control of the Pope in Rome will have to do as he commands since they opted to elect him their leader back on June 26, 2000. And as prophecy stated long ago, a global church & state will grant the Pope absolute power to enforce his long prophesied mark. Source: http://www.christiantoday.com

• Botched Execution Marks New Front in Battle Over Executions?  
  "A botched lethal injection in Oklahoma has catapulted the issue of U.S. capital punishment back into the international spotlight, raising new questions about the drugs being used and the constitutional protection against cruel and unusual punishment." --How many botched executions will be "performed" and then pushed into the media before those in the media claim the American people demand a new method of execution? Guillotines perhaps? After all, the prophecy about guillotines must be fulfilled, right? With that in mind, the only viable reason to keep botching executions is to change how they're done. If you think I assume too much it's only because you don't trust Christian prophecy. IT WILL happen. Source: http://edition.cnn.com

Nearly every single Congressman in America is on board with Rome's plan to create religious law right now! Source: https://www.youtube.com

• College Student Denied Admission Because he said God is Most Important in Life
  "The problem is that you have a guy who is qualified in all areas, and in the rejection letter, they single out his faith as a reason for his rejection. That's just flatly unlawful," French asserted. "It's every bit as unlawful as singling out his race, or singling out his gender. To single out his religion is just as unlawful, and it violates the Constitution." --Let me state a couple of things to get them out of the way. This Christian student has some misunderstandings about Christian decorum. Christians shouldn't be filing lawsuits to begin with, (see Matthew 5:40-44, 1 Corinthians 6:1-8) and radiation therapy isn't a career worth pursuing, since it's a case of the cure being as bad or worse than the disease. That aside, the reason the school rejected his application was because while answering a question that had nothing whatsoever to do with his academic qualifications, he said God was the most important thing to him. Adrienne Dougherty, the schools director of radiation therapy afterwards told him "We have many patients who come to us for treatment from many different religions and some who believe in nothing at all. If you interview in the future, you may want to leave your thoughts and beliefs out of the interview process." In other words, she automatically assumed this young Christian was a bigot who would discriminate against non-Christian patients. Yes radiation therapy is one of the many frauds hoisted on the public by the American Medication Association; but given that she thinks it's a lifesaver, she believed a man who loves the Lord would intentionally mistreat and even intentionally cause the death of non-believers. This mindset has been so successfully fostered by the Vatican and the social institutions they control, including the education system, that schools nowadays will tolerate just about everything except Christianity.

• Some Napalis to be Asked to “Reconsider their Faith” to get Their ID Papers
  "The Nepali government announced that all Nepali citizens will be provided with a national Identity Card. However, members of religious minorities will have to submit to greater scrutiny to obtain their papers. ...For Christian rights activist CB Gahatraj, "By discriminating on the basis of the national identity card, the government is trying to discourage us and those who wish to convert. This is against the law, democracy and civil rights". --You won't see the mainstream news media here the USA cover this story at all. But I do believe this is a way to test the implementation of national ID cards without garnering much attention from the people who live in the Western cultures. This is important since it was prophesied that Sunday laws will be enforced in America first. A question for those of you reading this; are you prepared to stand firm in the face of the extreme persecution all obedient Christians worldwide are soon to face (and many are already facing now)? And if you haven't been actively getting yourself prepared, what are you waiting for?! Satan knows his time is short (Revelation 12:12). Strange reality is, Satan also knows the time you have left to get yourself prepared is getting shorter by the minute as well (Psalm 89:47) Source: "http://www.asianews.it

Question: Is Tithing Still Valid Today?

Some are preaching today that the tithing system was abolished at the cross. They seek to teach this by using the assumption that the tithe was somehow instituted by Moses in the ceremonial law, which by the way was in fact abolished at the cross according to Colossians 2:14-17. However, was tithing a law given to Moses, and was he instructed of God to pen them into a temporary system that would eventually end at the arrival of Messiah? Was the tithe part of the types and shadows of the ceremonial law that illustrated Christ's sacrifice as some preach? Or was the tithe a truth that was already in place from the beginning of time?

• Genesis 28:20,20 "And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee."

• Hebrews 7:1-2, "For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;  To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;"

Simple basic truth is, both Abraham and Jacob were known to give a tithe unto the Lord long before Moses' ceremonial laws were penned. Reality dictates the fact that, because the tithe offering predated Sinai, we have both a timeline and absolute truth in the written Word that it could not have been part of the ceremonial law that ended at Christ's cross. All that was penned by Moses pointed to prophetic events Christ would fulfill when He came as Messiah. Tithing is not a prophetic doctrine. If it is, I challenge all those that preach the tithe ended at Calvary to contact me with the scriptures that prove this.

 Who receives the tithe?

• Hebrews 7:8, "And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth."

The tithing was set up back then to support the ministers, and it is used in the exact same manner to this day. The reason there is a movement to stop the tithe from flowing is simply because Satan knows God's true ministers need it to be able to work for the Lord full-time as did the Levite's of old in order to do the work they were called to do. I could in no way do all that I do for the Lord now if I had a 9-5 job. Much of my ministerial duties would simply end.

The Lord has always worked through His ministers since day one. When we tithe we give the tithe to the minister that is feeding us the spiritual food that God instructs him to share with us. Yes, it is a man we give the tithes to, but that is not to say it is not given unto God when we do this. The minister uses the tithing to be able to work full-time for the Lord. He has bills like everyone else does. But he does not work a secular job to pay those bills.

 “The God of my rock; in him will I trust: [he is] my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.” - 2 Samuel 22:3

Healing Promises

"The Lord redeemeth the soul of His servants:
And none of them that trust in Him shall be desolate."
Psalm 34:22.

"In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence:
And His children shall have a place of refuge."
Proverbs 14:26.

"Zion said, Jehovah hath forsaken me, and
The Lord hath forgotten me.
Can a woman forget her sucking child,
That she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?
Yea, these may forget, yet will not I forget thee.
Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of My hands."
Isaiah 49:14-16, A.R.V.

"Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
Be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee;
Yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My
righteousness." Isaiah 41:10.

"Ye that have been borne by Me from your birth,
That have been carried by Me from your earliest breath,
Even to your old age I am the same;
Even to hoar hairs I will carry you;
I have done it, and I will still bear you;
I will carry, and I will deliver you."
Isaiah 46:3, 4, Noyes.  {MH 250.1}

Nothing tends more to promote health of body and of soul than does a spirit of gratitude and praise. It is a positive duty to resist melancholy, discontented thoughts and feelings--as much a duty as it is to pray. If we are heaven-bound, how can we go as a band of mourners, groaning and complaining all along the way to our Father's house?  {MH 251.1} 

Those professed Christians who are constantly complaining, and who seem to think cheerfulness and happiness a sin, have not genuine religion. Those who take a mournful pleasure in all that is melancholy in the natural world, who choose to look upon dead leaves rather than to gather the beautiful living flowers, who see no beauty in grand mountain heights and in valleys clothed with living green, who close their senses to the joyful voice which speaks to them in nature, and which is sweet and musical to the listening ear--these are not in Christ. They are gathering to themselves gloom and darkness, when they might have brightness, even the Sun of Righteousness arising in their hearts with healing in His beams.  {MH 251.2} 

Often your mind may be clouded because of pain. Then do not try to think. You know that Jesus loves you. He understands your weakness. You may do His will by simply resting in His arms.  {MH 251.3}  

Continuing from last month...

A few more tidbits regarding what we will be doing in Heaven. But first, think on these things...

Revelation 20:6, "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years."

Have you ever wondered WHO we will reign over? Seeing how EVERYONE that takes part in the first resurrection will reign, who is it we will reign over? Can kings and queens reign over kings and queens?

So... who will we reign over?

All the treasures of the universe will be open to the study of God's redeemed. Unfettered by mortality, they wing their tireless flight to worlds afar--worlds that thrilled with sorrow at the spectacle of human woe and rang with songs of gladness at the tidings of a ransomed soul. With unutterable delight the children of earth enter into the joy and the wisdom of unfallen beings. They share the treasures of knowledge and understanding gained through the ages upon ages in contemplation of God's handiwork. With undimmed vision they gaze upon the glory of creation-- suns and stars and systems, all in their appointed order circling the throne of Deity. Upon all things, from the least to the greatest, the Creator's name is written, and in all are the riches of His power displayed.   -Ellen G. White, Adventist Home 548.1

The redeemed throng will range from world to world, and much of their time will be employed in searching out the mysteries of redemption.- Ellen G. White 7BC 990 (1886). Last day events 301.3

 "Ye are My witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God." Isaiah 43:12. This also we shall be in eternity.  -Ellen G. White Education 308.2

For what was the great controversy permitted to continue throughout the ages? Why was it that Satan's existence was not cut short at the outset of his rebellion? It was that the universe might be convinced of God's justice in His dealing with evil; that sin might receive eternal condemnation. In the plan of redemption there are heights and depths that eternity itself can never exhaust, marvels into which the angels desire to look. The redeemed only, of all created beings, have in their own experience known the actual conflict with sin; they have wrought with Christ, and, as even the angels could not do, have entered into the fellowship of His sufferings; will they have no testimony as to the science of redemption --nothing that will be of worth to unfallen beings? -Ellen G. White Education 308.4

• War on Christians: The Politics of Persecution
  "Persecution of Christians is on an upward trajectory that runs parallel to the Islamist awakening and has accelerated under the so-called "Arab Spring." Yet it has not made it to the top-ten list of priorities for American policymakers, which is ironic, given that our nation was founded on the principle of religious freedom. Reports from North Africa and the Middle East attest to the fact that at least one side of this conflict sees it as a religious war." --When speaking of the USA in prophecy, the Word of God says in Revelation 13:11, "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon." Historic fact is, the USA did in fact start out as a Christian (lamb-like) nation just as prophecy predicted. As we now see, the other half of that prophecy is racing towards fruition as we speak. For Obama, and previous presidents to continually turn a blind eye to the Christian persecution around the world confirms the prophetic statement wherein the USA turns from its lamblike nature to that of a dragon is obviously here. And it's about to get even worse. Not only do our leaders in America ignore the Christian plight due to following orders of the Vatican that controls DC which also stated in writing they hate the Christians, soon this so called Christian nation will openly attack, persecute and kill the obedient Christians in this nation as well as all other nations so as to help Rome enforce her mark.

• Banker Jumps to Her Death in Paris (After Questioning Her Superiors) 
  "There have been 13 senior financial services executives deaths around the world this year, but the most notable thing about the sad suicide of the 14th, a 52-year-old banker at France's Bred-Banque-Populaire, is she is the first female. As Le Parisien reports, Lydia (no surname given) jumped from the bank's Paris headquarters 14th floor shortly before 10am. FranceTV added that sources said "she questioned her superiors before jumping out the window," but the bank denies it noting that she had been in therapy for several years." --First of all, I doubt very seriously that she was "in therapy for several years." If that was true, and she was there for serious mental issues, why did they not remove her from her position years ago? Lies are sometimes that easy to expose. The fact 14 bankers committed suicide recently brings all sorts of conspiracies to mind. Being a Christian, and being one who does much end time research, my opinion will be filtered through what I have seen the last few decades with my own eyes. For 14 bankers to commit suicide like this suggests a major event in the financial world is about to take place.  Suffice it to say, could it be these bankers were approached and told about the Vatican's plans for the near future and they were being "questioned" by their superiors to see if they would continue to do their part with absolute loyalty now that the final piece of the puzzle was revealed to them? And could it be that so far, 14 of them realized what they actually helped to build in regards to the system that prophecy says will help Rome enforce the mark of the beast? With that new knowledge, could it be they opted to follow the lead of Judas Iscariot out of abject guilt of being used by Rome to betray the entire human race? We may not know the answer to that question until the very day it is shouted from the rooftops. Maranatha! Source: http://www.zerohedge.com

• Christians Targeted in Global Persecution 
  "Reports of religiously-motivated atrocities against Christians appear almost daily but the West, including some Christian leaders, seems to be in a state of denial". --Are so-called Christian leaders in a state of denial or is it something worse?  Are they actually complicit instead? At the end of this article it states "Many European Muslims are good, law-abiding people, who want the same things for themselves and their families as the rest of us... But if they remain silent it can increasingly be seen as acquiescence". I agree with that last part; the silence among the majority of Muslims regarding their own religion's violent persecution of Christians and other non-Muslims should be regarded as evidence they condone it in the same way that Catholics condone child molestation by their silence.  Many of the ones who do speak out only do so when their fellow Muslims become collateral damage.  The question I have is when are today's lukewarm Christians going to apply that same standard to their own leaders? This story speaks of Western political and religious leaders 'sleepwalking', 'being in a state of denial', and minimizing the intensity the suffering Christians are going through.  The author of this story even refers to this as a "conspiracy of silence".  It is high time Christians recognize this for what it is.  These supposed leaders are acquiescent, they do condone and they are complicit.  The Catholic church, the Seventh Day Adventists, along with popular mega-church leaders like Rick Warren and Robert Schuller (to name just two out of who-knows-how-many now) all embrace Chrislam openly and therefore they can't speak against it for fear of appearing as hypocrites.  After all, they consider Muslims to be brothers in the faith who worship the same God we do.  As for politicians, they will occasionally claim to show concern for the plight of Christians, but as reality dictates, and historic fact confirms, these are empty words and nothing more than rainless clouds as prophesied.  Their lack of action confirms it's nothing more than vote cultivating sentiments designed to make the listener think they care.  Frankly I think the only reason politicians worldwide even mention Christian persecution at all is so when people like us rightfully accuse them of being complicit, their defenders in the mainstream media can air a quote or two to fool the people into thinking their leaders actually do care.  Fact is, Washington DC's foreign policy only makes matter worse. But then.. that too was prophesied. Source: http://www.worldreview.info
