Video: Senate Votes Down Blue (Sunday) Laws Repeal

"The bill – HB1163 introduced by Rep. Pamela Anderson (D-Fargo) – failed on a 22-25 vote though it was hardly a party-line affair. As you can see from a roll call printout a friendly SAB reader at the capitol sent me, there were plenty of Republicans and Democrats on each side of this issue. From the opposition, there was a lot of talk about religion. …He went on to call the desire for Sunday sales “selfish consumerism.” …Senator David Clemens (R-West Fargo) said North Dakotans should “use that time to go to worship” or be with their families."

No, this is not Sunday Laws being enforced; but, as I stated during the last presidential campaign and again after Trump came into office, religious banter will be the norm in politics soon so as to pave the way for Sunday laws being discussed in legislative halls. This is however a bit of an escalation to that end seeing how Trump has only been in office for 3 months, but it's only one State talking on this at present. However, if you recall with Roe-v-Wade and the most recent homosexual marriage laws, it always starts with one State talking on this. And pass or fail, if it's prophesied to happen, it will.

Still, it is just a blue law, but with a bit of a twist. It was actually written to be enforced with fines and jail time if you're caught breaking the law. Yes, it's no doubt a small citation and the max in jail is only 24 hours, but it's a start as well as a foundation to build on. The main thing I want to touch on was how the one Senator spoke on the normality of it all by doing as this ministry warned for the last 2+ decades they will do when it comes to the prophesied Sunday laws coming to America and the world.

And what's that you ask?
The Senator goes into a summarized "history lesson" on the law wherein he brings up reasons for its passage way back in the 1800's. He starts talking on point at 3:35 in the video if you're interested. As students of prophecy expected that Senator stated the following before the House and on camera that, "We had a long history with Sunday closing … even before we were a State there were "Sabbath breaking laws" … so we've had as a State this issue around us for a long time."

Do you see what I see?
That's right, this is exactly how Rome always works. Just as they slowly introduced Pagan dogma into their statement of faith wherein they add it to the church books in a stealthy manner and wait for the people to be ready to accept it. But if the people appear to reject it, they then wait for their powers to grow so that the people cannot refuse it. In other words, it will eventually be enforced no matter what. That being the case, we have to expect politics to work in the exact same way when unpopular laws are introduced to any given nation because the mother of politics (Rome) taught them well. They get the laws passed without much if any public awareness, and this Sunday law of the 1880's in North Dakota is no exception. In fact, it was easy to get passed as the 1800's weren't known for instant public opinion on any given issue.

What I mean is, they didn't have the means to take a national poll or even alert the people of such laws until after they passed. And that could be many months later due to the snail-paced society of those days. Still, even if they did have the ability to "rock the vote" as we see today, many unpopular laws can still be

added as riders hidden in the popular Bills that are a shoe in for passage. Once passed they can let the law lay there without public awareness for years or even decades before enforcement becomes an issue. Rome actually had some dogmatic laws wait for centuries before enforcing upon their people.

The reason they do this is 2-fold. #1, they can weaken opposition by claiming the law was "around for a long time," and so most uneducated sheeple will say, oh well; since it was already there, no big deal. And #2, if opposition does arise when finally enforced, they can just say it was passed long ago and those that penned it are dead and gone and they trust the forefathers and refuse to repeal their decision by playing the patriot card by glorying the forefathers as if they were saints or exceptionally trustworthy. I mean, come on already, if the law grants them even the slightest amount of new power over the people, I have to ask what politician would give that up? It will be enforced! (Remember how the 501c3 came to enforcement after sitting "on the books" for 52 years? Same principle!)

THAT is how Roman Catholic president John F Kennedy's "Blue Laws" will eventually be argued towards very strict enforcement when the Pope's dying god demands Sunday laws in the USA. But they need to test the waters first and this is why we see what's happening in North Dakota. They need to fine tune this attack on God's law and His sanctified Sabbath before going national. They already have the churches bowing to Rome on this Pagan Sabbath wherein all of them keep Sunday holy already as a binding doctrine, and so now they need to make it "legally" binding in the States as well. And we have to know when they are ready to do this EVERY Sunday keeping pastor, and this includes the SDA church that has been keeping Sunday holy for years. In short, all of them will step up for the man of sin to "rock the vote" coast to coast on that day.

#7 Animals of all sorts to die right before the end

Also notice this. Since this prophetic event started to happen weekly, the governments have opted to force the national media not to report on them anymore so as to quench the truth that the end is near. That as well is a prophetic event as spoken in 1 Thessalonians 5:3, "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape." As I stated a moment ago, the only time we see them reported is by local media only. Reason being is, when you wake up in the morning and your entire city smells like death, you cannot hide it from the people. So they have no choice but to let them know about the deaths of the fishes, birds or whatever else has died. But keeping it local prevents the news from spreading nationally and then eventually globally to awaken some lukewarm Christians. This is why I posted a request on this page for the people who come across these local reports to email them to me. The amount of reports has dropped drastically, yes, as was their plan. But I still get articles, and I still update this page often.

Another thing I discovered was many of the articles that I posted on this page have been deleted so as to prevent those that do research from having the data needed to report on this. So sadly, some of the links have been broken by these corrupt media outlets. Still, there are plenty of articles still intact online wherein the truth can be boldly stated. And even if they did pull them all, the fact all the URL's themselves are still intact upon my page suggests they were active at one time. No one can make up that many URL's that match the internal structure of these media sites in today's world because their URL's are actually well structured and easy to match per server. So, by pulling them, they expose themselves before anyone that knows about basic URL programming.

 #8 Men will believe lies over plainly written Scripture

  • 1 Timothy 4:1, "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;"
  • 2 Timothy 4:4, "And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."

Many that don't study prophecy, or even basic Christian doctrine itself cannot see this as fulfilled. Reason being is, the enemy of souls has been very busy making most believe their careers, sporting events, or ridiculous sitcoms are far more important to them than studying God's Word so as to be ready for Him when He returns. Sadly, the overwhelming majority of the Christian church is guilty of this sin. And at least 50% of the remnant people the world over are yet to awaken out of their slumber. This can be easily seen by merely looking into some of the false doctrines taught and believed in the churches today that have no basis in the Word of God at all.

What I am about to share can be proven false doctrine by merely opening a Bible. But over the years, and thanks to many emails from brethren or just curious seekers, I have compiled many studies online exposing these false doctrines are just that false.

Question: Will all the people of the world hear the message before Christ comes back?

ANSWER:
Yes, the prophecy clearly states in Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."

Never before in the History of mankind was this possible until now. For example, Satellites transmit the Gospel to veritably billions of televisions every day from one side of the planet to the other. Radio waves carry the message of Jesus worldwide instantly with more density than ever before in the history of radio thanks to the way short wave radio can encircle the globe from just about any location. The Bible itself has been the number one best seller for as long as they have kept track of the sale of books. Preachers from all walks of life are preaching the gospel from the darkest regions of Africa to the lofty Alps of Switzerland. Christians worldwide have all along been sharing the good news to family, friends, co-workers, and strangers at work or at play. These same Christians have been handing out Tracts, Booklets, Pocket Bibles, Commentaries, Printed Sermons, Newsletters, Bible Studies, Cassette Tapes, Video Tapes, Etc. And now, thanks to the Internet, the Gospel message is being broadcast by websites, FLASH animations, inside chat rooms, private messaging, as well as e-mail! The List is truly endless of all the methods the Lord is using to fulfill this prophecy today.

Question: What does Proverbs 10:10 mean? (winketh?)

Proverbs 10:10 “He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.”

ANSWER:
As far as I can see, winking in the O.T. is always associated with doing evil to someone.

Job 15:12, "Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,"

Psalms 35:19, "Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause."

Proverbs 6:13, "He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;"

We know God winks at our times of ignorance, in the same way some that wink or ignore what the people do. Instead of warning them of danger, they gossip about them.

Stimulants: Alcohol

Stimulants: Tobacco

Cure for the liquor habit:

  • What cure would you advise for a person who thus indulges a habit that is rebuked even by the beasts of the field? The word of God has denounced it: no drunkard shall enter the kingdom of God. What would you recommend to cure such an appetite? You would not say, "You may use strong drink moderately. Continue within bounds, but never indulge to excess." You would rather say, "There is no such thing as helping you unless you co-operate fully with my efforts, and sign the pledge of total abstinence. You have by indulgence made your habit second nature, and it cannot be controlled unless the moral power shall be aroused, and you look unto Jesus, trusting in the grace he shall give to overcome this unnatural craving." You would say, "You have lost your self-control. Your self-indulgence is not only a moral sin, but it has become a physical disease. You are not your own; you are God's property. He has purchased you with an infinite price, and every faculty is to be employed in his service. Keep your body in a healthy condition to do his will; keep your intellect clear and active to think candidly and critically, and to control all your powers.

The only safe course is to touch not, taste not, handle not, tea, coffee, wines, tobacco, opium, and alcoholic drinks.

Lesson 16:

The Cleansing of the Sanctuary

Continuing from last month...

6. Where must judgment begin?
1 Peter 4:17 _____________________________________________
“The house of God, which is the church of the living God.” 1 Timothy 3:15. “And if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” 1 Peter 4:17, 18.
“Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” Hebrews 7:25.

7. Who actually does the judging?
John 5:22 _____________________________________________


8. When Jesus comes, what will He bring with him?
Revelation 22:12 _______________________________________ The judgment for all who have ever entered Christ’s service actually takes place before He comes. This is illustrated in Matthew 22 in the parable of a marriage which a certain king made for his son. Before the wedding begins, the king inspects the guests to see if all are clothed with the wedding garment (verse 11). Notice the parallel in Revelation 19:7, 8.
“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.” Revelation 19:7, 8.
