Trump, 501c3 Govt Preachers and Sunday Laws!

"An executive order (EO) signed by President Donald J. Trump this morning could welcome more overt political activity by charities and churches. It also appears to open the door for more litigation against his administration. …The full EO was released this afternoon and what it actually does could be up for debate. The EO states that it will be the policy of the executive branch to “vigorously enforce federal law’s robust protections of religious freedom,” and will honor and enforce those protections. It goes on to state that the Treasury Secretary will ensure that the department does not take adverse action against any organization for “speaking about moral or political issues from a religious perspective, where speech of similar character has not ordinarily been treated as participation or intervention in a political campaign on behalf or opposition to a candidate for office.”

As was revealed and then shared back in July of 2016 in a video I made, Trump will never remove the prophesied 501c3 even though many preachers and pastors hoped and declared otherwise. Prophecy must be fulfilled and to remove that government contract now will prevent it from fulfillment. What he will do (as we saw yesterday) is change how that contract is written, or as the headline of the article I linked out at the start of this blog entry said, Trump's "Executive Order Relaxes Johnson Amendment Enforcement." Since prophecy cannot be changed by the wicked desires of mankind, that contract had to stay intact, but as I stated last year, it must be rewritten so as to allow the preachers to keep their tax free status as well as preach political sermons. The truth as it was revealed in the prophetic Scripture of our Lord is rock hard fact and no matter how many false shepherds and wolves proclaim otherwise, it will happen!

The prophecy clearly states the ecumenical churches in bed with Rome will have the ability to legislate and pass religious laws against anyone refusing to worship the man of sin in Rome to the point they will lose the ability to buy and sell and then eventually pass laws to have them killed if they refuse to keep his man-made Sabbath holy over and above the never changing and eternal Sabbath of the Creator God. And the Bible clearly says it's not Sunday.

Revelation 13:15 literally says, "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed." And just so you know, the "speak and cause" reference in the prophecy here is defined as legislation and enforcement.  

Again, many scoffed and insisted for years that the 501c3 was not an image of the beast even though the only way to get the 501c3 contract was to join your church with the State so as to make an exact copy of the beast in Rome which is both Vatican city (A STATE) as well as the Roman Catholic CHURCH. But they yelled, screamed, ridiculed and even stomped their feet proclaiming students of prophecy were lying when they said the 501c3 would eventually find the money worshipping preachers becoming viable agents of the State. And then as was revealed and then posted in that video I made in 2004 which was a summary of my image of the beast page on my website I made years prior regarding how all this will go down as Scripture predicts, is in fact proof that it is happening just as the Lord reveals in His written Word.

Now yes, some assume the image was never given life as of yet. But I beg to differ as it was obviously given its life in 2006 when Bush signed that law making all the pastors official government agents (his words not mine) with the ability to lobby religious law. But because of rampant disobedience across the board in all the churches, nary a preacher caught that because the only way to understand Bible prophecy is to be obedient. And even after Trump said what he said during his campaign 9 months ago that moved me to make that video back in July of 2016, the truth as it was written in the prophetic Word of God was ignored for the most part by all those pastors. They actually had the ability to lobby law since 2006 as President Bush's signature confirmed. But their fear of losing their golden tax exempt carrot blinded their eyes and their fear of losing the money they worship forced them to sit on their hands. But no longer. Trump signed that executive order yesterday and now they have the government they trust above the God they supposedly preach for protecting them on that pulpit.

When the Loud Cry goes forth much louder, it will show all with eyes that see that the Government approved preachers sold out to keep their money growing and are now working hand in hand with the dying god of this world who has been running things from the Vatican for centuries who declares the Ten Commandments have been abolished at the cross and the truth we preach about the Law of God will empty their pews because some of their flock will open their Bibles as did the Bereans of old. That means the hirelings standing at the pulpit will be moved by satan to fabricate a need to pass a law demanding all people attend church on Sunday so as to stop the prophesied increased calamities. Of course that will only be the excuse they use when in fact as prophecy dictates is their way of combating the truth about the Sabbath of the Creator God that is causing their pews to empty. Their people actually opened their Bibles and found students of prophecy were telling the truth!

The real truth is they pass that law because the love of the money that is in the pockets of those leaving their church is far greater than their love of the Lord or even the people they were ordained to shepherd. That law will cause many to run back into their churches for fear of losing their lives. And so, as prophecy also predicted, the main issue in the last days that divides the disobedient from the obedient or as prophecy puts it, will point out who gets the mark of the beast and who gets the seal of God will come to fulfillment with an exactness only a Creator God can declare.

We are THAT CLOSE NOW!

They literally now have the ability to enforce the mark of the beast and if you are a Christian who is riding the fence on this long prophesied fact, you need to get off that fence and obey the Lord that wrote that Law with His own finger in stone so as to declare it eternally unchangeable. For if you refuse to accept Jesus as Lord and stop offering Him lip service as prophecy proclaims most will today, you will be those very Christians that the prophet Jeremiah declared will shout,  "The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved." -Jeremiah 8:20

I pray you make the right decision and join the people of God who declare on that great and dreadful day, "And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation." -Isaiah 25:9

 #8 Men will believe lies over plainly written Scripture

Even though this seems like a lot of false doctrines that can be proven false by simply opening a Bible, it doesn't end here. There are also some teaching a Wednesday crucifixion, the Law of God has been abolished, once under grace always under grace, the two witnesses are actually men who are about to arrive, the mark of the beast is a barcode, a tattoo, or a computer chip, the tithe is no longer necessary, the Nephilim are giants that came from angels copulating with human women, Nero was Antichrist, Polygamy is ok, Jesus made fermented wine at the wedding, Peter was a Pope, God created the world in 6000 years, and Adam and Eve is a myth because we evolved from apes. Strangely enough, many fail to realize certain holidays and traditions of man that go directly against God's Word in these last days. For example, Easter, Christmas, Halloween, St Valentine's day and even birthdays are all doctrines of devils. In fact, I recently found documented evidence that one of the doctrines popularized by Pentecostals today was first embraced in the occult long ago. The Serpent power or "Kundalini."

In the book "The Stormy Search for Self" on pages 78 and 79 it describes what happens to people who are overcome by the serpent power, or "Kundalini" as they call it.

"There has been much written about Kundalini yoga supposedly causing mental collapse, psychosis, oppression and even demonic possession. Some individuals involved in the process of feeling the surges of energy might find it difficult to control their behavior during power rushes of Kundalini energy, ...they often emit various involuntary sounds and their bodies move in strange and unexpected patterns. Among the most common manifestations of this kind are unmotivated and unnatural laughter or crying; talking in tongues, singing previously unknown songs and spiritual chants; assuming yogic postures and gestures and imitating a variety of animal sounds and movements." -The Stormy Search for Self" by Christina Grof and Stanislav Grof, pp 78 & 79

Not only does this describe what we see in many Pentecostal videos online of what happens in their church services, we also see what's described in what's called the "Toronto blessing" of Canada where people not only speak in tongues; but also have uncontrollable laughter, crying, barking like dogs, and grunts of other animals as well as bouncing around on the floor, or falling backwards as what's described today as being slain in the Spirit.

Brothers and sisters, this type of activity can be found nowhere in the Word of God as being blessed of God. It's only found in books of the Occult.

Question:How many angels are there in heaven?

ANSWER:
No man alive has any clue. All we know is what the Word says on this...

  • Revelation 5:11, "And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;"

Question: Could you please explain Proverbs 11:15?

Prov. 11:15 "He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure."

ANSWER:
Surety in the context of this passage is similar to what we call co-signing today. It’s not saying it’s a bad thing to do, but we must be careful when doing so because it can “smart” or cry unto God later in life if the one that took the loan is unable to pay leaving us with the debt. The verse ends with the fact that those that avoid such practices won’t have a problem in this area of life.

The “STRANGER” in this passage is of course stating co-signing with a non-believer is more than likely to cause a problem later. Whereas, when helping a fellow believer out, you usually don’t have issues like this. A true child of God is honest and forthright in all his or her doings.

Sister White says:
"I saw that God was displeased with His people for becoming surety for unbelievers. I was directed to these texts: Proverbs 22:26: "Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts." Proverbs 11:15: "He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretyship is sure." Unfaithful stewards! They pledge that which belongs to another,--their heavenly Father,--and Satan stands ready to aid his children to wrench it out of their hands. Sabbathkeepers should not be in partnership with unbelievers. God's people trust too much to the words of strangers, and ask their advice and counsel when they should not. The enemy makes them his agents, and works through them to perplex and take from God's people."  {1T 200.1}

Question: How does pastors, apostles, deacons, prophets, etc get their titles? Are there any requirements other than owning a bible? Are they appointed by man or by God?

ANSWER:
By the laying on of hands. The Holy Spirit must move upon the men in the congregation to pray over a man that is to lead. He must have the requirements of 1 Timothy of course before installing him as either pastor, deacon, or evangelist. As for prophets, only the Lord appoints such an office.

Sabbath Observance Through The Centuries - The Tenth Century A.D.
SCOTLAND
"They worked on Sunday, but kept Saturday in a Sabbatical manner." A history of Scotland from the Roman Occupation, Vol. I, p.96. Andrew Lang

CHURCH OF THE EAST-Kurdistan
"The Nestorians eat no pork and keep the Sabbath. They believe in neither auricular confession nor purgatory." Schaff-Herzog, "The New Encyclopaedia of Religious Knowledge," art. "Nestorians."

WALDENSES
"And because they observed no other day of rest but the Sabbath days, they called them Insabathas, as much as to say, as they observed no Sabbath." Luther's "Fore-Runners" (original spelling), PP. 7, 8

WALDENSES
Roman Catholic writers try to evade the apostolic origin of the Waldenses, so as to make it appear that the Roman is the only apostolic church, and that all others are later novelties. And for this reason they try to make out that the Waldenses originated with Peter Waldo of the twelfth century. Dr. Peter Allix says:

"Some Protestants, on this occasion, have fallen into the snare that was set for them...It is absolutely false, that these churches were ever found by Peter Waldo...it is a pure forgery." Ancient Church of Piedmont, pp.192, Oxford: 1821

WALDENSES
"It is not true, that Waldo gave this name to the inhabitants of the valleys: they wewre called Waldenses, or Vaudes, before his time, from the valleys in which they dwelt." "Id., p. 182

WALDENSES
On the other hand, he "was called Valdus, or Waldo, because he received his religious notions from the inhabitants of the valleys." History of the Christian Church, William Jones, Vol II, p.2

Sabbath Observance Through The Centuries - The Eleventh Century A.D.
SCOTLAND
They held that Saturday was properly the Sabbath on which they abstained from work. "Celtic Scotland," Vol. 2, p. 350

SCOTLAND
"They worked on Sunday, but kept Saturday in a sabbatical manner...These things Margaret abolished." A History of Scotland from the Roman Occupation," Vol.1, p. 96.



SCOTLAND
"It was another custom of theirs to neglect the reverence due to the Lord's day, by devoting themselves to every kind of worldly business upon it, just as they did upon other days. That this was contrary to the law, she (Queen Margaret) proved to them as well by reason as by authority. 'Let us venerate the Lord's day,' said she, 'because of the resurrection of our Lord, which happened upon that day, and let us no longer do servile works upon it; bearing in mind that upon this day we were redeemed from the slavery of the devil. The blessed Pope Gregory affirms the same.'" Life of Saint Margaret, Turgot, p. 49 (British Museum Library)

SCOTLAND
(Historian Skene commenting upon the work of Queen Margaret) "Her next point was that they did not duly reverence the Lord's day, but in this latter instance they seemed to have followed a custom of which we find traces in the early Church of Ireland, by which they held Saturday to be the Sabbath on which they rested from all their labours." Skene, "Celtic Scotland," Vol.2, p. 349

SCOTLAND AND IRELAND
"T. Ratcliffe Barnett, in his book on the fervent Catholic queen of Scotland who in 1060 was first to attempt the ruin of Columba's brethren, writes: 'In this matter the Scots had perhaps kept up the traditional usage of the ancient Irish Church which observed Saturday instead of Sunday as the day of rest.'" Barnett, "Margaret of Scotland: Queen and Saint," p.97

COUNCIL OF CLERMONT
"During the first crusade, Pope Urban II decreed at the council of Clermont (A.D.1095) that the Sabbath be set aside in honour of the Virgin Mary." History of the Sabbath, p.672

CONSTANTINOPLE

"Because you observe the Sabbath with the Jews and the Lord's Day with us, you seem to imitate with such observance the sect of Nazarenes." Migne, "Patrologia Latina," Vol. 145, p.506; also Hergenroether, "Photius," Vol. 3, p.746. (The Nazarenes were a Christian denomination.)

GREEK CHURCH
"The observance of Saturday is, as everyone knows, the subject of a bitter dispute between the Greeks and the Latins." Neale, "A History of the Holy Eastern Church," Vol 1, p. 731. (Referring to the separation of the Greek Church from the Latin in 1054)

Lesson 16:

The Cleansing of the Sanctuary

Continuing from last month...

18. What will be done to his name?
Exodus 32:33____________________________________________
“Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.” Psalm 69:28.

19. In the end, what will happen to him?
Revelation 20:15 _________________________________________

20. What happened in Daniel’s vision of the judgment?
Daniel 7:13 _____________________________________________

This movement of Christ does not describe His coming to the earth, but rather to “the Ancient of days.” The same scene is described by the prophet Malachi. Notice the question that is asked, and its answer:
“Where is the God of JUDGMENT? Behold I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his TEMPLE.” Malachi 2:17 - 3:1.


Revelation 10 describes the bitter disappointment of those who expected Jesus to come in 1844 (See lesson 15). When He did not come, their question was, “Where is the God of judgment?” The Bible’s answer was, “The Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple.” Jesus moved in 1844 into the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary to begin His work of investigative judgment, His final work before coming to earth to receive His bride.
From Daniel 8:19 we learned that the sanctuary would be cleansed “at the time appointed.” Commenting on that, Paul says, “He hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world.” Acts 17:31.  The time appointed for the judgment was the fulfillment of the 2300 days.

21. What is the Lord’s work during this time?
Malachi 3:3 ____________________________________________
               
22. What will He do to the names of the overcomers?
Revelation 3:5 _________________________________________

To be continued….
