Headlines Declare Mark of the Beast (Sunday Law) is Coming!
  • Supreme Court Set to Hear Church’s ‘Sign Language’ Case
    "The church, which has only a couple of dozen members, is heavily dependent on signs posted around town that advertise its service hours and location... Although political signs can be 32 square feet and stand for up to five months in some cases, the church's signs are limited to six square feet and only can be up 12 hours before each service." --By limiting the time a sign can be posted to only 12 hours before a service; if the service is at 10:00 am, the signs can't even go up till 10:00 pm the night before where very few people will see them. So yes this is yet another act of hostility towards Christians. Yes I realize they are Sunday keepers, honoring the Roman Catholic Sabbath over the Lord's true Sabbath. I'm not defending their tradition. They, like most others in fallen churches have yet to discover the beauty of obedience. That aside, officials in Gilbert, Arizona, where this is taking place even banned private homes from hosting church services or bible studies a few years ago. So hassling Christians is nothing new for the local officials. But with Christians being tortured, murdered, jailed, kidnapped and driven from their homes in countries all over the world, a church in Arizona fighting for the right to post signs is by comparison quite trivial. So why call attention to this story? It's because the legal team defending them is the Alliance Defending Freedom. (ADF) Their supposed goal is "the spread of the Gospel by transforming the legal system" in their favor. Prophecy declared the USA government would emulate the Vatican by becoming a church and state system. This has already been done with the unconstitutional 501c3 tax laws. But for now, the state still rules the church. When the church reigns supreme over the state, then the mark of the beast will be enforced. This case is being heard by the US Supreme Court so it'll be interesting to hear the final verdict.  Source: http://charismanews.comn
  • Senator Warns ‘National Socialism’ Taking Root  
    "Sen. Pat Robert took on a campaign buddy, former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, at a recent Dodge City event to raise money to keep his Kansas seat, warning those in attendance that it’s not long before America turns the corner on the Constitution and takes on a more permanent socialistic feel." --Isn't that interestin? For years, students of prophecy said the USA will dump the Constitution and adopt a Socialist form of Government under Roman demand so as to have the means necessary to enforce the mark. But all the leaders in political office as well as the church said that was a lie, didn't they? Then just as we saw them do with the Vatican's New World Order agenda, wherein they also said we lied for years and then later when the fix was in they started to declare the need for a New World Order openly, we now see them doing the exact same thing with Socialistic talking points on both ends of the spectrum. They lie for years so as to prevent their plans from being disrupted by massive protests, and when they are just about ready to pull it off, they change their tune publicly and declare their plans are soon to come just as students of prophecy warned all along. OK, prophecy will be fulfilled. I get that. What I don't get is how many times do the obedient Christians have to be right before someone starts to listen? It's amazing how much sin can cloud the mind from rational thought eh? Source: http://www.washingtontimes.com/

  • Pope Francis to go to Turkey in November… and maybe Iraq
    "Consider this an act of shaming, and a pre-emptive act at that. Pope Francis seems to be telling world leaders that if they can’t come together to do what’s right, he’s going to make their individual and collective failures obvious by the end of November. The clock is ticking." --The clock is ticking indeed as each day we are one day closer to the Saviour's blessed return. Time and again I remind people nobody knows the day or hour this will happen, but as events unfold it certainly looks like that day is nearly here. Prophecy declares the papacy "by peace shall destroy many." (Daniel 8:25) But it also predicts sudden destruction will come when the pope and his legions of follower's declare their "Peace and safety" (1 Thessalonians 5:3) unto all. With the wars and rumors of wars on this planet reaching a fever pitch, it looks like Francis is seeking to be the one who brings this false appearance of peace to the world. He recently signaled to the entire world that whatever his agenda is, he will try to get it done in 2 or 3 more years. Yes, he is setting the stage to be seen as a prophet by speaking of his possible death in 2-3 years, but clearly he wanted it known how rapidly he intends to leave his mark on the world. We learned a year ago that Francis also has a personal vendetta against Sabbath keepers, and he has every intention of avenging himself against them. We know the Seventh Day Adventist Church's leadership already bows down to the Vatican in doctrine and agenda, so it's the people who obey the true Sabbath he intends to avenge himself against. Am I saying the mark of the beast will definitely be enforced within 2 or 3 years? Of course not. Francis may very well intend or even hope for that to happen; but if our Lord feels like tarrying another decade or more, then Francis simply won't get his way. But as obedient children of God we must be sober and vigilant because the chief Shepherd may well appear within that time frame. Be it 3 years, 10 years or more, are you doing what you need to do to be ready when that day comes? Source: http://hotair.com
  • U.N. to Dump Flood of Muslim Refugees on U.S.
    "Since the early 1990s, the United Nations high commissioner for refugees has selected more than 200,000 refugees from Islamic countries to be resettled in the United States. Most of them have come from Somalia and Iraq. Syria could soon be added to the mix in the midst of that country’s brutal civil war. The Obama administration has been greasing the skids for the Syrian refugees for months, WND has learned, and the refugees will soon be dumped on American cities throughout the U.S." --Prophecy says Christians will be beheaded for refusing the mark of the Roman beast. We now have over 30,0000 guillotines on US soil. In some States we have judges that are sympathetic towards Sharia Law wherein Christians can and will eventually be beheaded for their faith. And now the US is being flooded with Muslims via the US based UN leaders so as to have plenty of volunteers to man the guillotines under Vatican order. Sharia is coming to America! Need I say more? I guess I should. And that would be to declare onto the Christians that we must not worry. All this was prophesied to happen before our Lord arrives. It was also prophesied the Christians WILL be victorious BUT, only the obedient ones. The rest that claim we are "unloving and hateful" for trying to help those that openly sin will die en masse directly after they tearfully proclaim, "The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved." -Jeremiah 8:20. So by all means, keep the faith!. Source: http://www.wnd.com

Remnantofgod.org/SDRherald/


Continuing from last month...

Do you recall that video I put up a few weeks ago about the Christian student that was ridiculed by their classmates and teachers for being a Christian? That same demonic spirit is running rampant today.

Ok, getting back, did you notice in verse 8 of Revelation 11 that the 2 witnesses’ bodies were in the street that, "spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt?" The key word here is they were SPIRITUALLY called Sodom and Egypt. But why? Many false preachers like to twist that prophetic fact out of context to gain support for their prophetic heresy. Using simple Biblical jurisprudence one can see what's really being said here...

  • Egypt = "Atheism" because in Exodus 5:2 it states, "Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go." Historic fact is, France did indeed declare "God dead" in their Revolution openly in the streets, the media of the day, and numerous posters, booklets and flyers as well. 
  • Sodom = "Iniquity" because in Ezekiel 16:49-50 it says, "Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom ...her and in her daughters, ...committed abomination before me"

Revelation also declares that this "great city" is also the place "where our Lord was crucified." How does that match up in prophecy?

  • The Great City = "Babylon." For it is written in, Isaiah 14:4,13 "...against the king of Babylon, ...thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:"

The depiction of Sodom is defined and confirmed in the rampant immorality that resulted in France after the Bible was removed from society. The depiction of Egypt in prophecy fits this time in history as well. With the declaration that "GOD IS DEAD" in France, the self-exultant claims of Pharaoh echoed over time with uncanny accuracy. Take note of the following quote that confirms this defiance...

With blasphemous boldness almost beyond belief, one of the priests of the new order said: "God, if You exist, avenge Your injured name. I bid You defiance! You remain silent; You dare not launch Your thunders. Who after this will believe in Your existence?"--Lacretelle, History, vol. 11, p. 309; in Sir Archibald Alison, History of Europe, vol. 1, ch. 10.

What a clear and precise echo is this of the Pharaoh when he said in Exodus 5:2, "...Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD..."

 

To be continued….

Psalms 1:1-2,” Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.”

Question: Did Jesus Create Wine or Grape Juice?

Continuing from last month...

To further confirm this, notice Jesus also used unleavened bread to represent His flesh. Leaven permeates the whole lump of bread just as sin does the flesh.

  • Luke 12:1, "...Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy."

Christ has no sin, therefore, even the bread, representing His flesh, would have no leaven either because as we know symbolically speaking leaven represented sin. Fermented wine is nothing more then rotten grape juice. Therefore it too could not be used to represent His blood because Jesus was not going to be allowed to rot in the grave...

  • Psalms 16:10 "For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption."
  • Acts 2:27 "Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption".
  • Acts 13:35 "Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. "

Just like any other plant or animal on earth that dies. Rotten or fermented grape juice releases a gas as it decays proving corruption has set in. This is why Jesus said in Mark 2:22, "And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles." As grape juice ages it releases a gas just like the gas released by yeast that causes the loaf of bread to rise. The wine skins, or bottles as they were called back then, would stretch at the seams as the new wine aged. Therefore, if you place new wine in and old wine skin that was already stretched to its limits, it would naturally burst and you would lose the grape juice. That being said, it is clear that at the Last Supper, the wine representing Jesus' blood could not have been fermented because in so doing it would be considered corrupt. And according to prophetic Scriptures, The Father would "not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. "

If a prophet of God refuses to defile himself with fermented wine, then the wine that Jesus created at the wedding of Cana could not possibly have been fermented. Because then He would have been causing everyone at that wedding to defile themselves. This is not something our Lord and Saviour would ever do.

ONE LAST THING:
1 Timothy 5:23 says, "Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities."

Ask any natural healer and they will tell you grape juice can heal many ailments, including stomach problems. The "wine" in this verse is definitely unfermented. Fermented wine would make stomach problems worse.

Causes of Disease  

 They closely apply their minds to books, and eat the allowance of laboring men. . . . The liver becomes burdened, and unable to throw off the impurities of the blood, and sickness is the result.-- T., V. III, p. 490.
 Scanty, impoverished, ill-cooked food is constantly depraving the blood, by weakening the bloodmaking organs.--T., V. I, p. 682.
 The free use of sugar in any form tends to clog the system, and is not unfrequently a cause of disease.--C. T., p. 57.
A great amount of milk and sugar . . . clog the system, irritate the digestive organs, and affect the brain.--T., V. II, p. 370

FLESH FOODS
The liability to take disease is increased tenfold by meat eating.--T., V. II, p. 64.
The eating of flesh meats has made a poor quality of blood and flesh. Your systems are in a state of inflammation, prepared to take on disease. You are liable to acute attacks of disease, and to sudden death, because you do not possess the strength of constitution to rally and resist disease.-- T., V. II, p. 61.
When we feed on flesh, the juices of what we eat pass into the circulation. A feverish condition is created, because the animals are diseased, and by partaking of their flesh, we plant the seeds of disease in our own tissue and blood. Then, when exposed to the changes in a malarious atmosphere, to prevailing epidemics and contagious diseases, these are more sensibly felt, for the system is not in a condition to resist disease.--U. T., Nov. 5, 1896.
 Rich and complicated mixtures of food are health destroying. Highly seasoned meats and rich pastry are wearing out the digestive organs of children.--U. T., Nov. 5, 1896
Simple grains, fruits, and vegetables have all the nutrient properties necessary to make good blood. This a flesh diet cannot do.--U. T., Nov. 5, 1896.

STIMULANTS
 It is these hurtful stimulants that are surely undermining the constitution and preparing the system for acute diseases, by impairing nature's fine machinery, and battering down her fortifications erected against disease and premature decay. --T., V. I, p. 548
A tendency to disease of various kinds, as dropsy, liver complaint, trembling nerves, and a determination of the blood to the head, results from a habitual use of sour cider. By its use, many bring upon themselves permanent disease. Some die of consumption, or fall under the power of apoplexy from this cause alone. Some suffer from dyspepsia. Every vital function refuses to act, and the physicians tell them that they have liver complaint.-- R. and H., 1884, No. 13

IMPERFECT BREATHING
 Stomach, liver, lungs, and brain are suffering for want of deep, full inspirations of air.—Testimonies for the Church 2:67.
 It is these hurtful stimulants that are surely undermining the constitution and preparing the system for acute diseases, by impairing nature's fine machinery, and battering down her fortifications erected against disease and premature decay. --T., V. I, p. 548

IMPROPER CLOTHING
 The fashionable style of woman's dress is one of the greatest causes of all these terrible diseases.--H. R.
 More die as the result of following fashion than from all other causes.--H. R
 Women especially are the victims of various maladies which might be lessened, if not entirely prevented, by right habits of life. Half their sufferings may be attributed to their manner of dress, and the insane desire to conform to the fashions of the world.--H. R. }
 In order to follow the fashions, mothers dress their children with limbs nearly naked; and the blood is chilled back from its natural course and thrown upon the internal organs, breaking up the circulation and producing disease.--T., V. II, p. 531.
 The chief, if not the only, reason why many become invalids is that the blood does not circulate freely, and the changes in the vital fluid, which are necessary to life and health, do not take place.-- T., V. II, p. 525.

People get SAVED!

When a man walks into a church that has EVERYONE speaking in the "tongues of gibberish" he will always do one thing. HE WILL LEAVE thinking there all nuts right? 1 Corinthians 14:23 confirms that when it says, "If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?"

The tongues in the churches today is GIBBERISH nothing more, nothing less! For it to be REAL tongues someone WILL step up and declare they heard the Truth in their native tongue before or after the translation. They may not step up before the crowd, but they will voice the miracle to ears that hear, and those will indeed spread the word. Paul bluntly states in 1 Corinthians 14:7-19 that it is an INTELLIGIBLE SPEECH and not GIBBERISH that is proclaimed when speaking in tongues.

• 1 Corinthians 14:7-19, "And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air. There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest? For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue."

Key verse:

  • "except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air. "

What's easy to understand? Gibberish? How about a so called "Heavenly Language" that no man has ever uttered or heard on Earth? Or, how about a foreign language that CAN be easily understood by someone that can interpret it either by knowing the language or having the actual "gift" of interpretation?

1 John 1:5-10, “And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.  This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.  If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”

 

  • Ebola Co-discoverer: ‘Perfect Storm’ Fueling Outbreak
    "The current outbreak of Ebola in West Africa is a “perfect storm” that requires a massive and immediate international response to prevent it from developing into a global pandemic, warns Dr. Peter Piot, the co-discoverer of the Ebola virus." --Did we not expect this?! After seeing so many signs that declare the Vatican is creating every scenario possible so as to have an easy way of enforcing her mark across international boundaries that we now see this US owned CDC Patented Ebola virus having such (media cultivated) success in creating a stage of panic across the globe. They do this so as to have as many people as possible in every country conditioned enough to agree to lose "some rights" (as they did on 911) so as to play the part of protector to the masses from this deadly (man-made) disease. Rather convenient, wouldn't you say? . Source: http://wnd.com
  • Each Family’s Bill for Obama Presidency: $61,000 
    "The national debt racked up under President Obama’s administration now amounts to $61,000 per household, more than the average household income. “Need a new ride? Obama and Congress could have bought each American household a Mercedes Benz E-Class sedan (MSRP $51,400-$61,400) with the debt accumulated during Obama’s presidency" --If you study prophecy as well as current events and how the present political movements not only fulfill prophecy, one can see future prophetic fulfillments clear as day now, you know by watching how this has worked in other nations around the world that the economy must be destroyed so as to make way for a digital currency that can be better controlled and manipulated in the markets. At least that's what Satan has convinced those in power so as to have what he really needs a way to enforce the mark of the beast in Rome.

  • Americans Want More Religion in Public Life 
    "The Rev. Rich Nathan, senior pastor of the nondenominational Vineyard Columbus church, said he believes that there have been hopeful signs for the future of religion over the past couple of years. He specifically pointed to the actions of Pope Francis as being able to build bridges between religious and secular cultures." --James said pure religion is, among other things, unspotted from the world. (see James 1:27) Nobody is more spotted and blemished with worldly defilement than the Bishops of Rome, yet this type of religion is exactly what Americans want more of today. It's sad to see these poll results. That is of course if they're not fabricated so as to bring about Rome's agenda for religious law. But if the poll is legit, on one hand it's heartbreaking to know that most people today want politically correct humanism masquerading as a form of godliness. On the other hand, eye witnessing 2 Timothy 3:1-13 coming true
with 100% accuracy glorifies the Lord as the Omnipotent One who truly reigns supreme. Only the Christian God can prophesy like this. In any event, the majority of so called Christian Americans are going to get their wish as church and state will unite to enforce laws mandating Sunday be kept holy while the true Sabbath is trampled by the masses. But their folly shall be made manifest to all when Jesus returns and destroys them with the brightness of His coming. Maranatha! . Source: http://dispatch.com
  • ISIS Threat Looms Over U.S. Homeland 
    "Long-known al-Qaida links to south-of-the-border drug cartels. A porous U.S-Mexico border. Gunshots at a California power plant. The individual reports may not cause immediate alarm, but a panel of experts who have connected the dots on threats against the U.S. is warning that the nation needs to be looking at the big picture - and preparing its defenses appropriately." as evolution is presented as scientifically valid while creation is presented as an unsubstantiated belief." --And their defense strategy will be? Can anyone guess? Or should I ask, can anyone NOT see what they're planning? The media favorite, puffed up false flag goldmine known as the "terrorist threat" can and will be used to not only generate fear in the hearts of the people as well as weak Christians. They can use it to enforce martial law in any US city they deem to be in danger. All they need to do is have the media manufacture an "event" and then report on it as if it's really happening and you will have martial law. Now do you see why Bush and then Obama opened our southern borders? It allows the perfect excuse as to how the "terrorists" were allowed to enter the country. Where will they test their new "terrorist threat" first? Could it be Texas as the media now suggests? By the way, as we all know, this is just one of many ways to enforce martial law in America. Thanks to JFK's executive orders that were given life by Clinton, they can now enforce it with any number of different types of pandemics, riots, weather disasters, economic crashes and earthquake disasters just to name a few. They have even passed laws allowing them to enforce martial law during a house by house search for criminal suspects as they did during the staged Boston Marathon. Any of these "events" can be easily manufactured today using our technology as well as the fact the media is now controlled and pumped into every TV, radio, cell phone and tablet across the nation. In short, the stage is set, they have their tools, and the mark will be enforced. Why haven't they done it yet? The "testing" isn't done. That testing is both physical and spiritual. The physical is of course the powers that be have to make sure all their ducks are in a row when the other shoe drops. And the spiritual deals with those Christians who are as we speak, passing (and failing) the final tests placed before them by God. When God's people are ready, IT WILL happen!
