• Hagel Questions U.S. Role in ‘New World Order’
  "Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel was quoted Wednesday stating the world is experiencing “historic, defining times” that will result in a “new world order,” while questioning America’s role in the emerging world." --The man needs to learn how to study Christian prophecy. It's really not that difficult to do. After all, would God write a Bible His children couldn't understand? BUT, you must of course be obedient in order to hear His voice. Seeing how Hagel is a Sunday keeping Episcopalian, it's highly likely that he nor his pastor has ever peered into the prophetic Word. Not only is the USA mentioned in Bible prophecy, the Vatican's controlling role over the USA is also mentioned in the prophesied New World Order. Source: http://www.wnd.com

• The Case for a Cashless Society  
  "As society has grown in complexity, that traceability has been lost, which opens up all sorts of new business opportunities such as fraud, robbery, illegal trading, tax evasion, extortion, etc. But, electronic money is, in effect, traceable. If we suspect someone has money in their bank account from ill-gotten gains, we (society) can check how it got there" --No, this is not a repeat of my "Cashless Society SOON!" video that was posted 3 months ago. It is however confirmation that what we have been warning about for decades is finally coming to fruition soon. The article gives all sorts of "good" reasons for a cashless society so as to tempt the reader into agreement. Things like, digital money helps reduce fraud, robbery and trade in stolen goods, etc. What the article isn't saying is, it will be incredibly easy to track Christians who refuse the mark of the beast and it will be incredibly easy to prevent them from buying and selling when the first part of the mark's enforcement comes to fruition. (See Revelation 13:17 for more confirmation) Do not worry obedient ones. What they also fail to mention is there is a God in Heaven who prophesied all of this with 100% accuracy thousands of years ago. That being said, do you think He hasn't already set up a way for His people to be safe and cared for? And even if some do end up in the FEMA concentration camps or at the business end of one of the 30,000+ guillotines, which by the way have been mentioned in Obamacare, do you not think these blessed Christians will not be used by Him to further glorify His Truth? Sure they will! He is called "GOD" for a reason! He's got it handled! Source: https://www.energyvoice.com/

• Turn in Your Sermons or Go to Jail  
  "The city of Houston has issued subpoenas demanding a group of pastors turn over any sermons dealing with homosexuality, gender identity or Annise Parker, the city’s first openly lesbian mayor. And those ministers who fail to comply could be held in contempt of court This is the first in a new video series titled "Drawing with Truth.""--As difficult as this is to witness, the pastors have no one to blame but themselves. Long ago prophecy clearly stated the preachers of today would be more about the money they can make than the souls they can lead to Christ. The fact they got the 501c3 because they were promised tax free purchases at Walmart and their favorite auto dealers confirms the money was more important to them than the fine print they ignored when signing the government contract that effectively gags them on the pulpit. Worse yet, in order to get the 501c3 they had to join their church with the State. That means they actually fulfilled another prophecy that says they will create a carbon copy or "image of the beast" in Rome. Everyone knows the Vatican is a Church & State entity just as prophecy predicted they would be (See Revelation 17:3) and now all churches (except the obedient remnant church of course) are

• Archbishop Chaput Blasts Vatican Debate on Family, Says ‘Confusion is of the Devil’
  "I was very disturbed by what happened" at the synod, Chaput said. "I think confusion is of the devil, and I think the public image that came across was one of confusion." --As prophesied, the public image of the Catholic Church has been one of confusion since its inception. Late in the article, Archbishop Chaput claims the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision to refuse reviewing State appeals against gay marriage shows that "traditional believers are now a minority in society." He fails to mention the Supreme Court is two-thirds Catholic. So apparently they're not "traditional believers" either, even though Rome's hatred of Sola-Scriptura confirms they must place tradition above the Word of God to be considered loyal Catholics. He pretends society and not his church is the problem. Both are the problem, as both reject the clear teachings of the Lord. Marriage by biblical definition is between one man and one woman. You can call a counterfeit wedding between two men or two women 'marriage' all you like. But that doesn't make it a real marriage in the eyes of the God that invented and sanctioned marriage in Eden. Just like twisting Scripture to claim Sunday the Sabbath fails to make it the true Sabbath. God never changed His Word. Archbishop Chaput is right when he says "confusion is of the devil," for it's the devil who gave the Vatican its power and supposed great authority. In fact, prophecy and historic record confirms this. But of course there is no authority greater than God. Popes can "claim to be above God" all they like. It doesn't make it true. As for the church he serves, this archbishop would do well to heed the Lord's warning to come out of her before he receives of her rapidly approaching plagues. Source: http://ncronline.org

• Christian Attacked for Her Faith in Vulgar Job Rejection
  "Paquette, who applied for the job based on her experience as a river rafting guide, says she was shocked when she read the rejection email from Olaf Amundsen, the company's hiring manager. Amundsen wrote that she wasn't qualified and "unlike Trinity Western University, we embrace diversity, and the right of people to sleep with or marry whoever they want. ...In turn, Amundsen explained that due to their stance on same-sex relationships, graduates from Trinity Western are not welcome at the company, and then used an expletive to state that if he met God, he would have sex with him. At one point, co-CEO Christopher Fragassi-Bjørnsen joined the email chain to say they believed homosexuality was the best case scenario for a man, and referred to a heterosexual marriage to any B.C. woman as "emasculating."" --This is the exact same evil spirit that possessed the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. It won't be long now before Jesus return. How do I know that? Read Luke 17:28-30 Source: http://www.cbc.ca

Question: Did Jesus Create Wine or Grape Juice?

Continuing from last month...

• One more thing...
  Hosea 4:11, "Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart."

If there weren't two definitions for the word "wine" in Scripture, why does Hosea separate "wine" and "new wine" so distinctly?

• UPDATE:

Proverbs 31:4,5 "It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted."

As Christians, are we not slated to reign with Christ as kings? If a king could not drink back then, why is it ok for those in training as kings now to drink? And if we drink, do we not "forget the law" while doing so? And yes, some will say the next passage makes it ok.

Proverbs 31:6  "Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts."

First off, the only way to make drinking "ok" by using this passage is to do so out of context with the preceding two. Still, this passage is not saying it is ok to drink wine. It's saying only those that are headed for death (hell) can drink it.

ALSO: In the Sanctuary services we find instructions that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that alcohol is not only deadly to the soul, it is in fact unholy and unclean.

Leviticus 10:9-10, "Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations: And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;"

Daniel was but a youth when carried away captive into Babylon. He was about fifteen or sixteen years old, for he is called a child, which means that he was in his youth. Why did Daniel refuse to eat at the king’s luxurious table? Why did he refuse the use of wine as his beverage, when it was at the king’s command that it was placed before him? He knew that, by use, wine would become to him a pleasant thing, and would be preferred before water.

Daniel could have argued that at the royal table and at the king’s command, there was no other course for him to pursue. But he and his fellows had a council together. . . . The wine of itself, they decided, was a snare. They were acquainted with the history of Nadab and Abihu that had come to them in parchments. In these men the use of wine had encouraged their love for it. They drank wine before their sacred services in the sanctuary. Their senses were confused. They could not distinguish the difference between the sacred and the common fire. In their brain-benumbed state they did that which the Lord had charged all who served in holy office not to do. . . . Manuscript 122, 1897.

Causes of Disease  

EXPOSURE TO COLD
 When we overtax our strength, and become exhausted, we are liable to take cold, and at such times there is danger of disease assuming a dangerous form.--T., V. III, p. 13.

DAMP ROOMS
 Rooms that are not exposed to light and air become damp. . . . Various diseases have been brought on by sleeping in these fashionable health-destroying apartments.--H. to L., Chap. 4, p. 62
 Choice, closed rooms, deprived of the health-giving rays of the sun, seem like damp cellars. . . . The air in unoccupied rooms may be cold; but this is no evidence that it is pure.--R. H.

DRUGS
 Drugging should be forever abandoned; for while it does not cure any malady, it enfeebles the system, making it more susceptible to disease.--T., No. 32, p. 67.

THE CONDITION OF THE MIND
 There is another class whose highest aim in life is physical labor. This class do not exercise the mind. Their muscles are exercised, while their brains are robbed of intellectual strength. . . . This class fall more rapidly if attacked by disease, because the system is not vitalized by the electrical force of the brain to resist disease.--T., V. III, p. 157
 Nothing is so fruitful a cause of disease as depression, gloominess, and sadness.--T., V. I, p. 702.

SECRET VICE
 This vice is laying waste the constitution of very many, and preparing them for diseases of almost every description.--S. A., p. 53.
 Some of nature's fine machinery gives way, leaving a heavier task for the remainder to perform, which disorders nature's fine arrangement, and there is often a sudden breaking down of the constitution; and death is the result.--S. A., p. 64.

UNHYGIENIC SORROUNDINGS
 Filth is a breeder of disease.--R. and H., 1896, No. 5.
A neglect of cleanliness will induce disease. . . . Stubborn fevers and violent diseases have prevailed in neighborhoods and towns that had formerly been considered healthy, and some have died, while others have been left with broken constitutions to be crippled with disease for life. In many instances their own yards contained the agent of destruction, which sent forth deadly poisons into the atmosphere, to be inhaled by the family and the neighborhood.--H. to L., Chap. 4, p. 61.
 Many suffer decayed vegetable matter to remain about their premises. They are not awake to the influence of these things. There is constantly arising from these decaying substances effluvium that is poisoning the air. By inhaling the impure air, the blood is poisoned, the lungs become affected, and the whole system is diseased. Disease of almost every description will be caused by inhaling the atmosphere affected by these decaying substances.-- Ibid.
 If a house be built where water settles around it, remaining for a time and then drying away, a poisonous miasma arises, and fever and ague, sore throat, lung diseases, and fevers will be the result.-- H. to L., Chap. 4, p. 64.

SECRET VICE
 The mortality caused by eating meat is not discerned. . . . Animals are diseased, and by partaking of their flesh we plant the seeds of disease in our own tissues and blood.--U. T., Nov. 5, 1896. {HL 67.2}
 The prevalence of cancers and tumors is largely due to gross living on dead flesh.--U. T., Nov. 5, 1896

Romans 6:16, “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? “

How blunt must it be written before some people can understand? PLUS, did you notice this passage as well from above...? "Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret."  Did you catch that? It said, PRAY THAT HE MAY INTERPRET??? How is it possible to interpret a HEAVENLY LANGUAGE if no man can understand it in the first place? Seriously! How can ANYONE interpret a "so called" heavenly language if no one has ever spoke it on earth, or heard it spoken? And what good would it do to SPEAK in that heavenly language while ON earth? Are we thinking that highly of ourselves that we are now so greatly called to PREACH TO ANGELS? Does not Paul confirm this as error when he said, "There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification"  He did NOT say there are many kinds of voices IN HEAVEN did he? However, he did say there are NO languages without "signification." In other words, I can blow a trumpet that has a "distinct" sound. You KNOW it's a trumpet! It's no different than a language that can be understood as a language. If there was a "Heavenly prayer language" would there not be more than one "comment" stated regarding it in the Word? Another fact to realize is this, if there was a different language for Angels, then how was it Daniel understood Gabriel in an EARTHLY LANGUAGE when he gave him the prophetic facts so long ago? Or what of Joseph and the angel that came to him in a dream? And John in Revelation, what of the angel speaking to him on that Isle of Patmos? If you cannot verify something you believe is a "doctrine" with more than one verse, then you MUST be taking it out of context for it is plainly declared that  "precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:" -Isaiah 28:10. The Word of God ALWAYS verifies that which is written within it. The "Heavenly language" is a prime example of that fact. It is also a good reason Isaiah 28:10 was penned is it not?

It is also mentioned in the above excerpt from His Word that, "For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful"  Why would anyone want to perform an act that is totally unfruitful in the first place? Plus how can anyone "edify self" with an act that is declared "unfruitful" by Paul himself?

THREE MAJOR BIBLICAL REQUIREMENTS for speaking in tongues that you will NOT find in today's churches...

• Only ONE person may speak at a time in tongues. There should be absolutely NO spontaneous outbursts with many people speaking at the same time.
• No more than two or three people AT THE MOST should speak in tongues at any given service.
• There MUST be an interpreter of the foreign language being uttered so the ENTIRE congregation (not just the foreigner) will be edified. And if no interpreter is present, then NO ONE is to speak in tongues!

• BIBLICAL CONFIRMATION:
  1 Corinthians 14:26-28, "How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.  If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.  But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God."Fact remains, the fullness of the Almighty's Holy Spirit is only poured upon those that are OBEDIENT to the Truth contained in the Written Word. Stepping outside declares one a NON believer.

A little known fact...

The tongues movement of these last days was actually PROPHESIED to occur.

Proverbs 30:5, “Every word of God [is] pure: he [is] a shield unto them that put their trust in him.”

• Source: Secret Deal Could Doom 160,000 to ISIS
  "A secret decision apparently has been made by the United States, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and even Iran to let the strategic Syrian Kurdish town of Kobani on the Turkish-Syrian border fall to ISIS fighters, jeopardizing the lives of some 160,000 Syrian Kurds, WND has been told by a well-placed Middle East expert." --Four countries with Muslim leaders (yes the current US President is a Muslim) are conspiring to turn a blind eye while the most notorious Muslim extremists on the planet today surround and potentially slaughter 160,000 predominantly Muslim Syrian Kurds. Surprised by the latest actions of the religion of peace? Neither am I, nor am I surprised the United States government eyeballs deep in the middle of this since the USA is the one arming ISIS, and the whole Islamic world knows it. Centuries ago the Roman Catholic Church created Islam to do their dirty work of killing Christians and Jews in the Middle East. What's really astonishing is how the Vatican has managed to trick the Muslims into killing each other as well, and all in the name of Allah of course. No doubt they consider a city the size of Kobani, Syria to be good practice for a military takeover. After all the United States has about 140 cities with populations between 100,000-160,000 according to 2013 US Census Bureau estimates. No I don't think ISIS has enough people to invade that many US cities. But ISIS was trained by the American military, so no doubt our government will be watching to see how well our military tactics work in a city that size. Since 2003, American forces have been perfecting urban warfare tactics in the middle east and then teaching these tactics to American police departments throughout the country. After a decade of perfecting their strategies, they can now observe ISIS and make their final tactical revisions before implementing martial law here in America. And just as the Vatican has gotten Muslims militants to kill other Muslims without a second thought, soon we will see American forces killing their fellow Americans with little hesitation as well. In fact, the US Military has already asked our soldiers way back in 1995 if they would have a problem "firing on US citizens."   Source: http://wnd.com

• Pastor Speaks Out on Houston Mayor: ‘You Will See More of This’ 
  "But these people are getting into positions of power, and they hate Christians and the Christian church because they say homosexuality is wrong. They want to shut down anyone who speaks out about it, so once they get in power you will see more of this type of thing,” Peterson said. “This was just a test drive. They see now that there will be a strong reaction, but they will just go back and regroup and be better prepared for it next time around.” --That's the simple truth in living color. Every time a homosexual, an Atheist, or a rabid antichristian politician speaks out, they do see "some" (not all) Christians speak out in response and they eventually back down so as to rebuild their long hateful attack. With every attack upon God's people, those that attack us are watching very closely to see how we respond. As this author points out so eloquently, they will regroup with a more invasive approach that looks to be that much more difficult for the Christians to respond to. Seeing how there is "honor among thieves" to some extent wherein "misery loves company;" the wicked will not be at a loss for resources, manpower, or even political pundits to continue testing the waters so as to eventually perfect their long prophesied agenda against God's people. So be it. This is exciting in that it shows us we are that much closer to seeing our God's hand move like never before. When the wicked consolidate their forces and perfect their attack and stand up as Goliath against God's people where on the surface we, the Bride of Christ, appear unable to respond, OUR GOD WILL RESPOND! en!
