Internet Website tracking, (Nazi and current) Red/Blue round-up (arrest) lists, and the Judaic NWO

 

A reader asks:

"Can you tell who has been to your Website?  I was just wondering."


Answer:

     There is software that I could have used that would trap IP addresses, but I didn't set it up (it is an extra expense, and i wouldn't want to do that anywaywhy bother?).  But other Websites may and do use it.  What this does is identifies your computer number and Internet Provider hub of every visitor to the site [I hope I'm using the right geek jargon :o) ].  This is most often used by (Judaic) advertisers ostensibly to make money through targeted advertising.   But the shadow government (read Judaic) uses it to identify dissidents by the sites that they visit.

     Many false-front sites are set-up by "government" types (read Jews) to lure people of a particular ideology to a site by providing some sensational NWO expose' information--all for the purpose of identifying that person as a potential future problem when the NWO goes operational.  If one shows up on too many lists, he may be identified for closer scrutiny as possible problem individual.  Those identified as such are placed on one of three lists.  The colors have been reported to be the Red List, the Blue List, and the Green List (not Yellow).  This parallels the Nazi RED-BLUE List policy almost to the letter, and shows the close similitude between those who controlled Nazi Germany and those who aspire to control the world.  Things are not as they seem.  

The gist of the color-coded lists is this: 

Red: are to picked up (arrested) BEFORE Martial Law is declared.  These shall have no warning and represent the most dangerous individuals to satan's New World Order. 

Blue:  These are to be picked-up after Martial Law is established.  These may be reeducated in the camps, or if they fail to respond to the retraining (brainwashing by torture), they will be "disappeared" (killed). 

Green:  These are to be called to come in on their own for an evaluation.  After an interview and a battery of written "tests," either they will set free with a warning, interred in a camp for reeducation as is conducted on the Blue List members, or executed as unrecoverable.

     But what happens to the Red List people when they are picked up?  They are moved to secure camps and summarily executed.  They are unrecoverable.  These are those who satan and his Jewish minions on Earth have pre-identified as future resistance leaders and are most dangerous to the New World Order of antichrist.  These include so-called "fundamentalist" Christian leaders, Gun-rights activists, anti-Communism leaders, anti-New World Order leaders, prominent so-called anti-Semites, falsely accused "Racist" leaders, etc....   

     An example of one of these Red List people is Ernest Zundle, defamed and criminally charged as a so-called "Holocaust denier," who is currently spending time in a German prison solely for that "thought crime".  To show the growing Jewish control of the world's courts, Zundle was deported to Canada, then from there deported to Germany, where he was sentenced to prison for saying that fewer than six-million Jews died in the "Holocaust" of WWII.  That was his only "crime." 

     Ironically, many Jews themselves have admitted that the six-million figure is untenable (I have literally dozens of quotations from prominent Jews and rabbis as to this fact).  But that doesn't matter.  In a "Holocaust Denial" criminal trial, the truth is not allowed as evidence.  In other words, it matters not that what one said was true, but simply that he said it.  And not one Political Leader, "rights groups" like the Jewish controlled and financed ACLU, world government leader, or the United Nations tried to stop it.  It is just that easy for them to take control.  let's face it, have you heard of Ernest Zundle in the Judaic controlled mainstream media?  No, you have not.  And should they mention him, he always referred to as racist, Neo-Nazi, Anti-Semites, etc. ad naseum, all false allegations meant to discredit what the man has exposed.  that is how they deal with dissidents in the first stage, they defame them through lies.  In the stage they will behead them.  But the time is not yet when they can go about doing this, but it is soon upon us.  And many many Christians shall be beheaded by the Judaics during the Tribulation for not accepting satan (antichrist) as their Lord God.  These are the martyrs in Revelation 20:5 etc...

Rev 20:4
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.  KJV
 

Rev 6:9-11
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.  KJV

     Now, I don't know Zundle's inner thoughts and haven't really studied all his teachings, or even if he is a Christian or not; but I feel that a man should not be jailed simply for what he believes.  Somehow that seems like a basic human right to me.  Else we are all to be made thoughtless drones, and our intellect the property of the State. 

     And had Zundle been around at the time when the beast comes into operation, he would have been arrested, taken away to an undisclosed location, a summarily executed (no trial, no defense, no mercy--prejudged to death simply by merit of being on the Red List).   

     Ernest Zundle will probably either die in prison, be assassinated upon his release, or have bogus additional trumped-up charges placed on him while in prison, to extend his sentence out past the takeover.  Then he will be killed as a Red List member.  To kill him now would make a martyr out of him, and he is of value to them as an example of what can happen to those who follow in his footsteps.  Oh how the Judaics hate martyrs.  Look what happen when they killed Christ Jesus--Christianity swept the world and set their plans back decades.  The NWO was supposed to come in on the heels of the Jewish Bolshevik Revolution of 1914, which was supposed to spread throughout Europe; and it almost did.  The next time it shall be unstoppable, and there shall not be any alive to resist it--so they suppose.  The Judaics are not stupid, but they do make mistakes.

     For instance, the reason that the existence of these lists became known some years ago was because a Federal Agent caught a glimpse of one and saw his own name on it!

     As an aside:  The United States Government Intelligence Agencies (and their counterparts world-wide) are unwittingly compiling the data (through presumed internal-security intelligence gathering) that the International Jews are currently using to populate these lists.  How are they able to access that highly classified information?  They own us, they have put their own people at the top in charge of all Intelligence apparatuses.  Think "Homeland Security" and know that it is not to secure America, but to secure the United World under Jewish godship.

     Below is an excerpt from my coming book:
 

Jews Claim That They Themselves, Collectively, Are To Be The Awaited Messiah!

 

 

 Below is a (reduced) facsimile of a portion of a page 716 from the Talmud (the uncensored 1936 Soncino Press edition of The Babylonian Talmud (vol. I),[1] wherein it states that the Jewish people themselves, are to be the awaited Messiah.

 

“...the Messiah [is] without metaphor, the Jewish people.”1

―The Jewish Babylonian Talmud, Kethuboth, 111a.

(Quoted from highlighted area in below facsimile)

 


 

     So what you have is this: that they killed the Messiah Jesus Christ when He came to save His people Israel (which modern-day Jews claim to be, but are not, and do lie [Rev 3:9]); and now in the later years, presume to become Him, to replace Him, to be what He was to have been at His First Advent, had they not killed Him―the King in His Kingdom, on Earth; thus paving the way for the Second Advent of Jesus Christ.  (End excerpt)

     Can I prove my above statements?  No, I cannot prove it to you till it happens.  Is it true?  Yep!  Will you see it in your lifetime?  Unless you are very old or very accident prone, you will live it.


[1] Reduced facsimile of actual page (middle of page) 716, of the 1936 Soncino Press Edition of the Babylonian Talmud, vol. 1, Kethuboth 111a.  (as contained in, The Jewish Religion: Its Influence Today, Elizabeth Dilling, “Table of Exhibits,” Exhibit #147.  1963.)

What to do of our loved-ones who believe upon Jesus Christ, but yet adhere to some false doctrines (i.e., Rapture, etc.)?

 

Tim writes:

[WBSG Note:  I hope that Tim won't mind that I make mention that he is a 16 year old Bible student.  I do so because it is refreshing to see a young person so well studied and possessing a calling to learn the written Word of God.  His parents should be proud and feel blessed!]

"Hey watchmen, 
There are many people I know and love who believe in the rapture.  Even after I show them 2 Thess chapter 2 and Ezekiel 13, and show them that place in acts where the angels tell the apostles that the same manner Jesus left is the same manner he is returning, I think it is acts 1:6-12, they still cling to that lie [the Rapture].  My Mom and Sister refuse to attend church with me because my church doesn't believe in the rapture.  My dad doesn't believe in the rapture, so he is like the only one who will attend church with me.  My dad also studies with a fine pastor on television [from Arkansas no doubt].  What do I do?  People think I have flipped my lid when I start talking to them about the three world ages, and no rapture, and how eve had sex with the devil. What do I do?"


ANSWER:

Hi Tim.  You can only give them what they will take.  If you try to force it on them they will resent it and you. 

     The main thing is that they are saved Christians who believe upon Jesus Christ.  As for their varied doctrines, as long as they do not blaspheme, they are not as harmful as one might think.  Believing in a pre-Tribulation Rapture doctrine is not a hell-bound offence. 

Mark 9:38-42
38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
40 For he that is not against us is on our part.
41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.  KJV

     And many of the above shall help God's endtime Remnant by giving safe haven, and whatnot.  So don't look down upon them, though I know that you do not; but remember that someday they may hide you or feed you.  Remember what Jesus said to Paul?

Acts 18:9-10
9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.  KJV

     Am I saying that we should look the other way, and not expose the Rapture as a false doctrine when opportunity to respectfully do so presents itself?  No, we cannot do that, for then we would be partakers of the false doctrine.  But after we tell someone that the Rapture is false, we needn't keep insulting them about it.  Just put it on record that you can show through Scripture that there is not to be any so-called Rapture of the Christian Church.  And you had better have your studies in order, for you may only get one chance where they are listening with an open mind.  That is why we must study the written Word of God more than any; if it be that He chooses to use us. 

     If you just let them know that if they ever want to know curious things in the Bible like Scriptural statements such as  "before the world began," and hard questions (to them) such as "where Cain got his wife from," and "how come there are so many Christians mentioned in the book of Revelation during the Tribulation," etc., that you have the answers for them in the Scriptures.  Until then they will hold on to traditions in their churches out of fear of being deceived (the irony!).  The people are scared, and they do not understand; they do not want to be deceived by what they consider to be 'new teachings.'  And that is reasonable, if you consider that many things are simply not understandable to them now.  

     And when the world goes into the Tribulation, and they haven't been swept away into bliss, then they will seek you out and ask for another go at the teachings.  Sadly, by then, it will be difficult to find teachers, as they shall be being pursued by the beast.  But God has made many endtime provisions for His servants, and the Word will be taught even in the Tribulation--and many good Christians shall be martyred for teaching it.  But they are prepared to give their all for their Lord, so don't lament for them.  They would not have it any other way.  Those who would have it another way, shall not be used, but they will not be damned for being afraid.  They just aren't suitable for the endtime work.  But that is not to say that all who shall serve the lord in the Tribulation shall die, for we se many are alive right up to the Second Advent:

1 Thess 4:16-18
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.  KJV
 

Acts 1:9-11
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.  KJV

     Let me make this statement, and let posterity bear me out:  There shall not be one martyr for Jesus Christ in the Tribulation that does not go willingly to the guillotine.

Mark 8:34-38
34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.  KJV

Rev 6:9-11
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.  KJV

Regarding Christian Tribulation Martyrs, see our:  Scriptural Evidences That Christians Shall Die In The Great Tribulation 

So, what else can you do?  You can't make anyone believe something that they will not listen-to nor entertain. 

The principle thing, then, is this:

John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  KJV

     For some Christians, that shall have to be enough.  They are freeloaders on the grace of God; taking and not giving.  But other Christians must know the truth, that they be useful servants in the endtimes.  Many are called to the wedding supper, but few are chosen to help prepare it.  But we are all Christian brethren, even the confused and fearful ones.  Don't be mad at your brethren, they have a mission and you have a mission, and God sets each in his place according to his several abilities.  And we cannot boast; for, what abilities that we have, have been given upon us by God. 

     Why did God give one servant five talents, another two, and the third one; though they all were called "His own servants"?  No man may lay claim to his own accomplishments regarding the WORK, God blesses the work for His good purpose; and it is His providence to make one a passenger and another a rower.  But we are all in the same Christian boat.

Matt 25:14-15
14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.  KJV

     Our job, then, if we are chosen, is to help our brethren by the grace of God in Christ Jesus in the soon upon us endtime.  In other words, as Christ taught, we are servants to the brethren under Christ Jesus.  They above, we below, all under Christ Jesus, whom is our God come in the flesh.

Matt 23:11-12
11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.  KJV
 

John 13:13-17
13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.  KJV
 

Mark 10:42-45
42 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.
43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.  KJV

     Peace.

Who do they teach "Hell" as an eternal torture chamber of God?

 

A reader writes:

Hey watchmen,   I have been studying with a group on television for about the last five years (I think you know who I am talking about).  Their teachings help me a lot.  I was wondering, Could you please tell me where the burn forever doctrine came from?  It is not a Biblical teaching.  My guess is that the one verse, no congregation, no money, begging, preachers started the teaching it so they could have people in church on Sunday morning, I would appreciate your comments.


Answer:

     Hello.  Perhaps well meaning, but misguided, preachers felt that the marginal Christians (if there is such a thing) of their congregations would not shy away from sin if they thought that the only consequence was that they would just go to sleep one day and never reawaken.  And honestly, I am not so sure that they were not right in their thought that many people might decide to live evil lives if they thought that you just don't wake up in the end, except to march into the Lake of Firebecause that people do not yet fully understand the magnitude of not being anymore.  But there is never a good reason to lie about the Word of God.  Also, some of the verses, the way they are worded, could lead many to read them as eternal torture.  So it is no surprise that at first glance they are (miss)interpreted that way.

     "Going to Hell," so-called: 

 Rev 20:11-15
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.  KJV

Are Rapturists real Christians?

 

Steve writes:

INTERESTING OBSERVATION:
FYI [For Your Information]-
I have noticed an increasing hostility towards those
that teach against the rapture from the typical
"Christian" ministries.

Further, the wide-ranging Son life radio network
(Jimmy Swagart) is telling its audience that to be
included in the rapture, you have to believe in the
doctrine.  And by default, just being a good Christian
won't automatically make you eligible.

This is diabolical and puts more pressure on the
unschooled to accept the rapture.

Steve


Answer:

Hi Steve.  Yes, I have noticed that.  And they go even further: now they are making Christians who do not believe in the Rapture to be as 'enemies of Christ' (for supposedly denying "His" so-called Rapture doctrine).   

    For, to them, the Rapture has been presented as "the blessed hope" of Titus 2:13.  I know, I know, the verse has absolutely NOTHING to do with any Rapture, but Rapturists have been beguiled into have accepted another (soothing) Gospel, in direct disobedience with Paul's admonitions in Gal 1:6-9, 2 Cor 11:3-4, etc..  

Galatians 1:6-9
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.  KJV

2 Corinthians 11:3-4
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.  KJV

     The so-called Rapture doctrine is not in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, it is an added-by-man false doctrine.  But to the Rapturist, any Christian who denies this new (post-first millennium) doctrine (Rapture) is, in effect, according to themdenying Jesus Christ Himself!

     Satan uses this technique to 'bully' Christians into false doctrines and creeds through peer pressure and subtle threats of being cut-off from fellowship.  Persecutions of Christians by Christians shall be built upon this. 

   The Scripture (one of them) that Rapture teachers corrupt:

Titus 2:13
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;  KJV

    "That blessed hope" is the Second Advent return of our Messiah Jesus Christ.  But evil men and seducers made it into a Rapture doctrine!  And silly Rapturists loved to have it so, and they loved to have their ears ticked with sweet lies that felt good.  So, for their error and their self-imposed ignorance to the Scriptures, through their own laziness: they have sweet lies for doctrine.  A simple read of that "blessed hope" Scripture would have revealed to the Rapturists that it has absolutely nothing to do with any so-called Rapture.  But the Rapturist listens to some corrupt minister quote that single verse out of context, and then the babbling clergyman says something to the effect of: "Glory to God, there's our Rapture, t-h-e  b-l-e-s-s-e-d  h-o-p-e !" 

    Observe below the verse in context of the whole short chapter that it is contain in.  Tell me, where do even see a hint of anything like a Rapture?!?  Yet, the "blessed hope" is one of the most popular Rapture slogans!  And the phrase appears only once in the Bible:

Titus 2
2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.  KJV


    The possible spiritual fate of the Rapturists:

2 Cor 11:3-4
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. [i.e., you might likewise very well be decieved.]  KJV

Gal 1:6-9
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.  KJV

    By this Paul says that Rapture teachers should be accursed.  I agree.  But what about the average Rapture believer, should we pity them?  I don't feel pity for them, obviously they were of a sort who satan knew that he could easily corrupt.  They were not sound Christians, they were play-actors playing church.  You yourself seem to have noticed a very mean spirit in them, and they are very mean-spirited underneath their smile. 

    And don't overlook the disgusting fact that they average Rapture believer potentially could infect ten other Christians (Rapturists seem to be very evangelical) with the false Rapture doctrine, dragging down ten others for each one of them; and on and on it spreads like a virus through the body of Christ.  Sadly, those ten other people that they lead into the false gospel of Rapture are usually their own family, friends and children!  Pity them?  No, I don't; they are just being exposed for who and what they are in these endtimes.  Satan uses whom he can.  We shall see much of this in the days to come, with many forms of false doctrine.  You can only tell someone so many times, and to have them repay us by throwing it in our face and attacking us?  Personally, I am getting sick of it.  They obviously will not hear, and they bite anyone who tries to take their Rapture security blanket away from them.  Sometimes you just have to:

Matthew 10:14
14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.  KJV

    And no!  God didn't blind them, they blinded themselves.  People take the "God blinded Israel in part" Scripture way out of context.  Quit blaming God for the sins of man.  In a paragraph or two I am going to be quoting Jesus Christ where He says that some shall come to Him claiming to Christians, and He will cast them out--He even called them sinners.  If God blinded them, like so many apologists for the pseudo-Christians (fake Christians) say, then it would have been unfair of Jesus to cast them out.  So instead of observing that Jesus was warning us of many fake Christians who would cling to us to destroy us--they make Jesus out to be an unfair God! 

    Quit blaming God to appease stubborn and reprobate humans.  And true Christians today need to get it through their heads that not all who claim to be Christians, are true Christians--there are many pseudo-Christians today who are just hedging their bets, paying lip service as to being Christians, "just in case."  Or, a more crass way to state what they are trying do--Covering their a*s [backside]. 

    Some might say that I am being too hard on them, and that I am not showing what they call "Christian love."  But my position is that if someone is going to put their boot on your throat tomorrow, delivering you up the antichrist for conversion; then you don't have to kiss them today.  Even Jesus shall have some harsh, and what THEY would call "unchristian love," for them when He returns at His Second Advent and finds them standing amidst the many that they have corrupted with unsound doctrines, including among many other sinful false doctrines, the Rapture doctrine, etc., etc., etc.

Matt 7:20-23
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.  KJV

    Though THEY would object that the above Scripture could in any way apply to THEM (Rapturists); after all, they are so self-righteous, thinking that because of their good actions thus far today that God is going to exclude them from the difficult times at the end of the Bible, and at any time rapture them to their reward.  They are fair-weather friends to God and Christ, and are wholly unsuitable for service in the troublous endtimes which shall culminate in the Great Tribulation.  They shall fall away the minute that satan and his New World Order bunch turn the heat up and they're still here (not Raptured as "promised").

    And then these pseudo-Christians will turn on us and betray us, as it is written:

Matt 24:8-14
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you [faithful true Christians] up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another
[Christians turning against other Christians].
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom [the true Doctrine, not the Rapture doctrine] shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.  KJV

     But the Rapturists say that they won't be here for the above Scripture, they will be floating on the clouds of their rewards for being so faithful. (Not!)  Odd, since the above Christians shall be witnessing and spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ until the end.  So what of these Rapturists then?  Well, some seem to be Christians and yet are not, and some begin with us in the faith and then go after another.

     That "another" may well be antichrist, and it is the Jews (satan's chosen people) who shall, and already are, lead them there.  Which is why today, in the corrupted Christian churches, you see so much emphasis being placed on ecumenism (co-fellowship) with the Jews, on the so-called Hebrew Roots Movement, the Sacred Names Movement, etc.  It's all designed to bring us under the wings of Judaism. 

     But first they must strip us of Jesus Christa feat that they are making surprising headway at.  Now in all fairness, I do not direct the following at Rapturists, but at apostate Christians in general.  I have no idea if Rapturists were among the Christian clergy participating in the following blasphemy.  Observe picture at right, as Rev. John Kingara of The Worldwide Greater Mission Church in Worcester, Mass. removes a cross from his Christian church, and throws it in the dumpster.  The reason?  "The cross is a symbol of division to 'our' unity with Jews and Muslims."  Ecumenism gone mad!

1 John 2:18-20
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist [the antichrist-satan, the false christ] shall come, even now are there many antichrists [many false christians] ; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.  KJV

antichrist: Greek word #500  antichristos (an-tee'-khris-tos); from NT:473 and NT:5547; an opponent of the Messiah: KJV - antichrist.

antichrist = antichrist:

anti:  Greek word #473 anti (an-tee'); a primary particle; opposite, i.e. instead or because of (rarely in addition to):  KJV - for, in the room of. Often used in composition to denote contrast, requital, substitution, correspondence, etc.

christ:  Greek word #5547 Christos (khris-tos'); from NT:5548; anointed, i.e. the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus: KJV - Christ.

     These are among those who have the spirit of antichrist (another "christ").  And that spirit of antichrist as it is manifesting itself in these end days if the spirit of Judeo-Christian, which is a leavening of Christianity by Judaism, until the whole lump is corrupt; and Jesus Christ is completely left out.  Watch for this, it is happening at break-neck speed, yet most Christians miss itthey're too busy trying to "just get along with everyone." 

     By the way, were you taken aback by the earlier picture of the Christian minister throwing the church's cross into the garbage to appease the Jesus-denying Jews?  Well, I cover this to a great extent in my coming book.  At left are Christian ministers in an ecumenical gesture with others, burying the cross in the ground "forever", in Jerusalem no less (!), for the same reasons that the aforementioned "Reverend" threw his church's cross out in the trash can.  At right is their march to the place of burial, looking not unlike the mob that "arrested" Jesus in the garden and paraded Him back to Jerusalem!  At bottom left they bury it (the cross is placed under a symbol of unity [the symbology means: diversity of man under the light of Lucifer] from Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church (the Moonies). 

     This thing is coming folks, faster than apparently many think.  Be careful, don't fall for the complacency trap, like so many shall: "Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation." (2 Peter 3:3-4).

     I Might also point out that they had to have permission from the Judaics to do this, as it was performed in Jerusalem, Israel.  Word is, is that Rev. Sun Myung Moon, who sponsored (paid for) the event, wanted to have the cross buried at Golgotha (!), but for some reason wasn't able to.  Observe in the middle photo at right, they are performing a ceremony upon the cross on a Christian slab altar (notice the cruets for wine & water at left of altar, wooden cross in middle, gold Bible holder at right, and candles at bottom left & right of pictureit seems Catholic or Greek Orthodox).  In the bottom right photo, the cross is covered-over with the unity symbol (also notice the large wooden cross, centered in the blue wall hanging, on the wall behind the altar).  Likewise, notice the Black Christian minister in the right of that photo holding a Bible!  Many Christian ministers can be identified by their garb in these series of photos.  Take notice of the two obvious Black priests (identified by their white Catholic type collars) in the photo at bottom left.  For shame!  May God visit their deed, all of them!

     Changing topic.....   I have some good information about the Rapture hoax that will also be including as a chapter in my upcoming book.  This information shows the Rapture "doctrine" originating from a Jewish Jesuit Catholic Priest (more common than most suspect), who wrote under a pseudonym (fake name); and that this literature (actually a book) was read by Margaret MacDonald, who in turn then uttered forth visions upon her sickbed the Rapture doctrine.  Which was then picked up (and stolen) by two Christian Ministers and delivered to the world.  The Jewish scheming behind the foundations of the Rapture doctrine being wholly and completely hidden, as intended.  PS:  There is also evidence that MacDonald "talked in tongues" (demonic utterances from those yielding themselves to the [evil side of the] spiritual realm).  And the Talking in Tongues manifestations are directly associated with the Rapture Sects.

     Any way; everything associated with the Rapture Doctrine is dark and bizarre.  So it is no wonder that the followers of that false doctrine also appear dark.  The Rapture is at once, "another gospel" (2 Corinthians 11:4), "Jewish fables" (Titus 1:14), "and doctrines of devils" (1 Timothy 4:1).

2 Corinthians 11:4
4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel , which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.  KJV

Titus 1:14
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables , and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.  KJV

1 Timothy 4:1
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; KJV

     So, Steve, is it any wonder that, as you said, you "have noticed an increasing hostility towards those that teach against the rapture from the typical "Christian" ministries." ?

     My point in all of this was to illustrate that just because someone calls themselves a Christian, means that they are a real Christian.  Am I judging?  Let their photos above be the judge.  I'm just observing and discerning.  It's called 'watching."  And that what all good watchmen ought dowatch. 

James 2:18-19
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith , and I have works : shew me thy faith without thy works , and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.  KJV

     So, these men, casting the cross into the trash and burying it forever, telling you that they are Christians, are madness; for, the works which they do, do betray them.

     likewise, Christians waiting to be taken away, by some some entity, to somewhere they know not, during the Tribulation, when all good servants shall remain working and keeping themselves faithful to Jesus Christ, are madness, for, their doctrine does betray them.

The spiritual origin of the "new" doctrine of Pastor Lance Knight

[Added note:  These "Lance Knight" Q&A's are not in chronological order as to the time which we have received them at WBSG.  Sorry if this has caused any confusion.  Many times we answer a readers question in an E-mail, and it may take weeks and months for it to appear on the Website.  Also, not all questions answered are placed on the Website, only the ones that we feel are relevant to a general wider audience.  Some questions are of a personal nature and are never seen by anyone other than the person who asked the question. -Ed.]

 

John writes:

Lancelot C. Knight [Pastor Lance Knight] of Kings Chapel [church] says that the church age is over as does Family Radio.
Where do you stand on the church age?
God Bless You, John.

[NOTE:  We have received many queries on this matter since Pastor Lance Knight fell off the deep end in April 2005 (just after his Passover ("Easter") meeting).] 
 

Answer:

Hello.  I stand here: Church isn't over until Jesus Christ returns at His Second Advent and relieves us of duty.  Jesus didn't speak of any church being over; in fact, Jesus said that there would be the spreading of the Gospel up till the very end.  Only satan wants church over:

Matt 24:11-14
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
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.  KJV

     Sadly, Pastor Lance Knight has become demon-possessed; do not follow him, or the evil spirits might jump on you.

     Those familiar with Lance's "new doctrine" should immediately recognize a familiarity with the below false doctrine from Kenneth Copeland and Earl Paulk.  Observe below, in author (but, sadly, a Rapturist) Tricia Tillin's exposé of these two men's doctrine in her article: "The New Thing (Global Revival as the Key Element In Deception in Twentieth Century Pentecostalism), part3":

"YOU are the Antichrist!

I [Tricia Tillin] promised to reveal a dangerous aspect to the teaching of Ken Copeland, that the "christ" is the "anointing" upon all believers. This leads him to the belief that all who rebel against the anointing, or the anointed ones, are THE ANTI-CHRIST! Scripture identifies the antichrist as those who deny that Christ "is come in the flesh". If an anointing, or a glory cloud, is believed to be the coming of Christ into a Body of Flesh (his church) then anyone who denies the reality of such a thing could be labelled, scripturally, an antichrist.

Because we deny that Christ has come invisibly into this Body of people - thus we are the antichrist and we must be destroyed. Far-fetched? Unlikely ever to be applied to us? Well, this reasoning has already been applied:  Earl Paulk writes in "The Wounded Body of Christ"

"Every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard was coming and is now already in the world. (1 John 4:3) When John dealt with identifying the antichrist, he said the spirit of antichrist was already at work. This spirit was identifiable by the fact that it...does not confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is the area in which we must test the spirits. The greatest test of the antichrist is its attitude towards the church - Jesus Christ himself is not a threat to any community unless there is a living thriving church in that community. Therefore, the spirit of antichrist refuses to recognise that GOD IS HERE IN THE FLESH. Attacking such figures as Oral Roberts, Jim Bakker and Kenneth Copeland are attacking the Church of Jesus Christ - such mockery and criticism are the means by which the spirit of antichrist operates."

Ken Copeland makes the same application. He goes to great lengths to try to prove that the word christ means anointing, so every time you come to the word christ in the Bible you should retranslate it, the anointing. Jesus was a man who was christed, he had the anointing. Now that same anointing is coming upon the Church, and if you oppose it you are anti-anointing, and that makes you an anti-christ!

"Once you start re-translating the word christ, as anointing you'll realize how the message of the anointing permeates the entire new testament. Even in those early days, the devil sent people in to steal that message,-------- people with the spirit of anti-christ (anti-anointing). For if you reTranslate the word anti-christ you'll realize it's referring to someone who is opposed to the anointing." Ken Copeland, writing in Voice of Victory: Vol 2ULo 4, April1995"

...Lionel Cabral, again, teaches that believers are to enter into the full anointing, at the symbolic Feast of Tabernacles, and thus be transformed: The Feast of Tabernacles is the seventh feast, ushering in the 1000 year millennium. The Feast of Tabernacles celebrates the beginning of man's reinstatement into the paradise of the garden of Eden. The natural soulical beast man reigns in this present world order. (Note: compare this with Joachim of Fiore's scheme).

However, a change is coming. His name is Jesus. This change is happening now and soon shall become a completed transformation, a completed transfiguration. During the 1000 year millennial Kingdom of Heaven on this earth, the spiritual man shall reign. Jesus was initially born with an earnest of the Holy Spirit, and received the fullness of the holy spirit when He was born again. [???] We too are growing into and shall receive this fullness that He received, at the crest of the next stage of our evolution. The corporate body of Christ must inexorably follow the Head to which it is connected.

The Anointing that Christs a Man Lest you think that Lionel Cabral is such an off-the-wall rank outsider to the Church that his teaching will never receive popular acceptance, I will now compare it with the teaching of the Word-of-Faith Movement, which has a huge following.

Ken Copeland, famous Word-of-Faith preacher, has long taught that Jesus was born a (divine) mortal who needed to receive the Holy Spirit at Baptism in order to do His miracles. (Just as above.) He also teaches, like Cabral, that we are growing into a fuller anointing - and Copeland says this anointing is the same "christing" that Jesus the Lord received.

One of his latest and most pernicious ideas is that the word "Christ" in the New Testament simply means "anointed" and thus can be applied both to Jesus and to believers, regardless. He teaches his followers to replace the word "Christ" with "anointed" in the Bible and thus see themselves in the place of Jesus Christ, having his power and authority. The Toronto Blessing is seen as a handy source for receiving this "anointing", and Copeland expects things to escalate until the glory "covers the earth".

Copeland: the Christ is the Anointing:

"Jesus isn't the only one anointed anymore! It was never God's intention to simply anoint Jesus with his power and leave it at that. God on one man was not enough!- that's why he sent Jesus to the cross and then raised him from the dead. He wanted to open the way for us to get born again and become a whole race of anointed men and women. He sent Jesus to be the anointed head over an anointed body of people who would take God's devil-busting, yoke-annihilating power to every corner of the earth.

"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of the Anointing: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of the anointing (verses 7, 11-13). [WBSG NOTE:  The real Scripture of Ephesians 4:13 reads: "...unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ." (!!!)]

"According to this scripture, we're headed toward a time when we'll be walking in the anointing to its fullest expression! I want to see that, don't you? I want to see the whole Body of Christ flowing in the anointing so powerfully that the whole earth is filled with God's glory. I believe with all my heart, we're the generation who will see that! But before we do, we must lay aside the things that block that anointing. We must rid ourselves of religious traditions that cause us to take offense at the idea that ordinary believers like us, or the fellow across the street, or the pastor of our little church can operate in the anointing of Almighty God." "Taking an Offense - It Could Cost You Your Anointing" by Kenneth Copeland.

We may consider such teaching as a mere aberration that we can safely ignore. However, there are serious implications. In the word of God we see that the apostles "preached Christ" to the unbelievers, and when they "received Christ" they were saved. If we replace this word, as Copeland suggests, then salvation becomes a matter of "preaching the anointing", [Ed. instead of Jesus Christ] and getting people to "receive the anointing" [Ed. instead of Jesus Christ] or in other words, offering people the Toronto Blessing.

Caution, False Doctrine!        Caution, False Doctrine!        Caution, False Doctrine!      


     For a clinical view of the false doctrine (and accompanying evil spirits) that has infected Pastor Lance Knight, see our exposé:  Anatomy of a False Doctrine; an expose' of the various 'Tabernacle Studies' extant.  At the risk of sounding self-important, I feel that had Pastor Knight read the above study on the matter, he would not have been caught off guard when the doctrine's demoniacs (evil-spirit  possessed teachers) brought the blasphemous doctrine to him for consideration.  Pastor Knight has lost his church and ministry over this; and the demons will move on as the doctrine continues to spread, destroying churches and men along the way.  If you've enjoyed his work in the past, pray for him.  Sadly, it seems that many Lance Knight followers have chosen to go along with this doctrine of devils; they too shall crash, but not before they infect other loved-ones.   Just as Eve infected Adam, and both died.

     Every "new" false doctrine of Lance's (i.e., YOU being the temple (of God) antichrist sits in, and YOU BEING the Temple of Christ's return, etc....) is not new at all.   It is an old heresy and blasphemy which is revealed in our above exposition of the false doctrine that began covertly (and without SCN leadership's knowledge or assent) to be spread among SCN Bible students years ago, by spiritually corrupt men and women who themselves had become beguiled by satan.  Pastor Knight was supposed to be a Pastor, teaching his flock how to not fall prey to false satanic doctrine; but like Judas Iscariot, he fell in the last hour, and succumbed to the enticement of the false doctrine himself.  Now, sadly, he leads many of the loyal of his flock towards perdition. 

     A sign of the times, indeed!

    Am I judging them?  What do you think God is going to do to people who think themselves to be God or gods?  He killed Adam and Eve for that very thing. 

Genesis 3:4-6
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.  KJV

     Many are eating of this blasphemous doctrine, and do not even know what they are partaking of; likewise dying, as Adam and Eve.  Yes, it IS that serious.  It is far too late in the day to fall aside into New Age doctrines of devils!  You are not gods, and you most certainly aren't God!  You shall never be gods, you shall be sons of God, if you make it:

The Eternity:

Revelation 21:1-7
21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.  KJV

     Peace.

Seals, Trumps, Vials; the Tribulation has not yet begun

 

Dr. xxxxx writes:

Thanks Nick. I really enjoy your website. You know, changing the subject, I knew that the NAACP was started by "whites" but I didn't know until yesterday reading [another Website] that they were Jews. Some of the things on his site are scary (in reference to what "they" do and what they're plans are). Well anyway, I'm sure we'll be watched over even though some Christians will be killed for our faith. You say in your website that "...unless you are very old or very accident prone we will see the second coming...". I think that's the gist of what you said. When do you think it will be. I think later this year or anytime in 2006, but who knows since even the angels don't know nor the Son.  God bless
 

Answer:

    Hello again Dr..  I hope I wrote that "...unless you are very old or very accident prone you will see the Tribulation".   Because that is what I meant.  According to the Bible, 2/3rds of the planets inhabitants are killed during the Tribulation* .  Therefore, many who see the beginning of the Tribulation will not be here for the Second Advent.

    Don't forget that today (before the Tribulation begins) there is still 42 months of Tribulation before antichrist arrives, and then approximately some five months more of Tribulation during his time on Earth before the Second Advent happens.  For some reason, Christians en masse seem to block that out.  they totally ignore that we have a whole Tribulation to go yet before the Second Advent.  And what a Tribulation it shall be; so monumental it is to be, that Jesus Himself spoke very solemly about it:

Matt 24:21-22
21 For then shall be great tribulation , such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.  KJV

    And I am not writing this to you only, but it will be in a question/answer on the Website, because I think that it is something that many can profit from; so understand that I am not implying that you do or do not know these certain things, but rather I am using your question as an opportunity to draw some things out more perfectly for all who may read along with us here. (this is the case with all Q & A's on the Websitethe answer is broad-based, to apply to many.)   

    But anyway, we all must be careful to not forget of this Tribulation, which comes first, before Jesus returns at His Second Advent. 

    All we seem to hear from Christians today is "Come Lord Jesus;" and that is noble; however, Scripture declares that before Jesus comes, much tribulation and calamity must happen first, including the rise of antichrist's global system, and then the antichrist (satan) himself shall sit in Jerusalem claiming to be God, deceiving the world that he (antichrist) is God.  Then comes Lord Jesus Christ, and not before.  

    It seems that even in Paul's time Christians displayed this same sort of willing blindness and overeagerness, for Paul marvels: "Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?":

2 Thess 2:1-5
2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ
[Second Advent] is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except
[until after] there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?  KJV

    People looking for Jesus now may be vulnerable to being deceived by satan (antichrist). 

    Satan doesn't care if you know that the antichrist comes first if you forget it, or if you think he already camewhen he didn't.  That way, when he does come, you will think that he really is God (which is why Paul above said "be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled").  This is the great danger in the new false teaching going around that says that: "antichrist's coming is only spiritual [and not physical] and that it has already happened."  This is where I disagree with Pastor Knight's new doctrine.  Dangerous stuff! 

    Satan is not yet here claiming to be God, as 2nd Thessalonians declares that he must, before the Second Advent.  The entire Tribulation, INCLUDING ALL seven Seals, Trumps, and Vials, have not yet happened, contrary to many other common teachings on the matter.  This is where I disagree with the very able Pastor Murray's interpretation on the Tribulation. 

    We all must come to our conclusions regarding prophecy study, and follow the lead of the Holy Spirit in our Scripture study to know in our hearts what is right and what shall happen during the Tribulation.  Hear a teacher out, yes; then compare what he says to the Scriptures.  

     I am in a place where:  Today, not one Seal is to be opened, not one Trump is to be sounded, and not one Vial is to be poured out before the Tribulation; for, it is the Tribulation that these three 7's describe (the 7 Seals, 7 Trumps, and 7 Vials [and don't forget the 7 Thunders of Rev 10:4]). 

    The Seals, Trumps, and Vials ARE the Tribulation, it IS what happens during the Tribulation.  It IS the Tribulation.  It is God's description of the Great Tribulation.  I will be drawing the Tribulation times out more perfectly in my forthcoming book.  But none of the three 7's has yet occurred in our day.  And when they do, they shall transpire over a 47 month period of time (42 + 5 = 47)   

    But I just wanted to be clear on the above points.  Peace.

What Christ's First Advent changed: Why Ezekiel chapters 40-48 won't happen. (with a closing word to the Judaics)

 

In answer to XXX's questions regarding the events spoken of in Ezekiel chapters 40-48.

Answer:

Hello, xxxx.  Glad to receive your E-mail.   

     You said:

"...Therefore no flesh will exist in
the millennium, yet the book of Ezekiel shows flesh...
so, obviously there is a discrepancy here."

     Yep.  And it must be reckoned.  We know that the Scriptures cannot fail, so the answer lies elsewhere.  My position is the only logical and coherent answer for how the Old Testament Ezekiel (Chpts. 40-48) Scripture could be written as such, and the Revelation (Chpts.21-22) Scripture could be written as it isand yet no Scripture be broken ["...and the scripture cannot be broken;" (John 10:35)] is that they have been superseded by God Himself in the New Testament.  Let me explain.

Old Testament (Ezekiel) visions of the Kingdom
 
New Testament (Revelation, etc.) visions of the Kingdom
Flesh (circumcision) No flesh
Ezek 44:9
9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.  KJV
1 Cor 15:50-51
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,  KJV
Marriage No marriage
Ezek 44:22
22 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.  KJV
Matt 22:30
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.   KJV

Death

No death

Ezek 44:25
25 And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.  KJV
Rev 21:4
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.  KJV

Blood sacrifices for sin

No more blood sacrifices for sin

Ezek 44:29-31
29 They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.
30 And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest's: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.
31 The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.  KJV
Heb 9:11-14
11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?  KJV

And again, animal sacrifice

And again, no more animal sacrifices for sin

Ezek 45:17-19
17 And it shall be the prince's part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel.
18 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the first month, in the first day of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary:  KJV

Heb 9:28
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.  KJV

 

     The only answer for this above apparent lack of correspondence is that Ezekiel's vision has been superseded by God Himself in the New Testament.  Search all you can, there is no other possibility.  None.  Ezekiel can't happen as written, this is clear; so what happened?  

     Man brake (broke/forfeited) God's covenant and killed His Messiah; He, who was to be King, they murdered.  No King = no Kingdom.  Thus, the promised Kingdom was withdrawn and the final Kingdom set in abeyance (i.e., not yet), to be later realized in a glorified fashion.  For no longer is the promised Kingdom to be in the flesh; but now the Kingdom is to be in the spiritual realm, perfect; wherein "...we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is." (1 John 3:2).  This was not how it was to be under the Old Testament promise.  

     What is to be (in the New Testament), is better than what they rejected (in the O.T.).  Only a good God would do such a thing.  After the killing of the Messiah, that is to say, God come in the flesh: the whole world should have undergone a reverse "big bang," and God wash His hands of the whole "children of God experiment." 

     But He did not forsake us! ["...for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." (Heb 13:5b).]  So that now, while one man may say that "Scripture was not fulfilled," (in the O.T.) and pain over that; I would say that something more wonderful has happened (in the N.T.).  Mainly this: that by the grace and Power of God, those (humankind) who should have perished with the killing of God's Anointed Saviorare not killedbut rather are availed of a more perfect Kingdom, wherein "moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:" (Matt 6:19).

     So where one sees unfulfilled Scripture, another sees God's grace abounding.

1 John 3:1-2
3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now [through Christ] are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him ; for we shall see him as he is.  KJV
 

Rev 21:1-5
1:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth [this was not so in Ezekiel]: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them [neither was this to be in Ezekiel (which is why 'religious Jews' still look for a human Messiah)], and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death [not so in Ezekiel, for we see widows: a widow is a woman who's husband had died], neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away [not so in Ezekiel, for we see the priests seeking to go to deceased family members].
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.  KJV

     There is no room between today and eternity for an Ezekiel chapters 40-48 in light of further prophecy from God in Revelation chapter 21, etc..  John wrote in the book of Revelation what he SAW, he saw no such things as Ezekiel wrote of in Chpts. 40-48.  Why?  Because they are not, never will be.  The closest thing will be satan's imitation of it as antichrist, replete with a false Ezekiel's Temple, and a false priesthood of so-called Jews sacrificing four-footed beasts to satan (antichrist) as their God, and most of the whole world shall follow suit.

2 Thess 2:3-4
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.  KJV

     Those who do not understand that Ezekiel 40-48 represented that which was rejected and a covenant that man brake (thus destroying it by forfeiture), may well quote Ezekiel Scripture to justify the antichrist.  Be ready for that, you shall see it.

     You said:

"...but I'd have to
say xxx's view of Ezekiel 40-48 aligns with Scripture
a bit closer than yours."

     An unfortunate lapse of judgment on your part, but I'm not going to try to convince you.  I know that once you set out to prove the Scriptures, you shall come to the correct conclusion.  There really is no other way to see it.  No other way that it can be.  Are you sure that xxx is correct? 

     You said:

"...The reason being I am not
willing to toss out 8 chapters of the Bible
[Ezekiel 40-48] and claim
what's written in them won't come to pass"

     Well, I know that you know me, and that you are not implying that I would ever say to throw any of the Bible out, not even the book of Esther*.  So, obviously, the answer is a little more abstract.  Yeah?

     You said:

"Your reasoning doesn't sit well with me
either, because it's a lot of supposition."

     I respect your right to disagree, but you offer no Scripture to sustain your objections; you just "don't agree," but you have no alternative explanations.  And understand that, sometimes one man's supposition is another man's discernment and logic.  Bottom line, xxxx: you have in the same Bible, two entirely different endtime Kingdoms.  What will you do with them?  Both cannot come to pass, for they contradict each other.  "Putting it on a shelf" in your mind only delays the inevitability of having to deal with it.  Today we are dealing with it here. 

     You said:

"You say the
sanctuary of Ezekiel 40 was how things would've worked
had the world accepted Jesus Christ. That makes no
sense to me whatsoever because it was prophesied
beforehand that He would be executed, Psalms 22
describing His death in detail for starters."

     Why does it "makes no sense to me whatsoever"?  What, because God knew that they would reject the Kingdom, then He wasn't supposed to offer it in the first place?  Had He not offered it, with all of It's promises, then what could they have rejected?  It's like this: Adam was to live forever, but he forfeited that.  So who failed, God or Adam?  Or who failed, the men of Christ's time, or God Himself?  A Kingdom cannot be rejected until it is offered.  Therefore God had to offer it before they could reject it.  God had to send the King before they could depose Him.  Remember that Ezekiel was written some five hundred years before Messiah Jesus Christ, the King, came; and some six hundred years before the New Testament was written, after they rejected the king and His Kingdom.  Had they accepted Christ the first time, we would have never been born.  But God knew the beginning from the end, and He knew that they would kill Him when He came; just like they would kill Him again if He came today.  So instead they will kill His people in the Tribulation.  The same people are in control today that were in control in Christ's time.  Only now the so-called Jews control the whole world, not just the Temple as they had in Jesus' time.  Everything happening today is prophecy fulfilling itself:  the people, the places, the acts, etc.  We are living out the end of the Bible.  But the world sleeps to her destruction.

     What you see in Ezekiel 40-48 stands as a glaring witness against mankind.  Therefore it has purpose, and belongs in the Bible for eternity as a testament both to the fallibility of man and the great grace of God.  Have you forgotten what we did to God?  We killed Him on a cross in A.D. 29.  He hasn't forgotten that. 

     You said:

"I'm not casting off your teaching utterly, I think you
made some excellent points. To be truthful it was due
to you bringing this topic that I even bothered
to give those
[Ezekiel] chapters a second look...
at least in the sense that I'd bother questioning
whether it was or wasn't
[the description of the] millennium."

     This is good, and thank you for saying that; it truly does mean much to me.  But why stop now?  You realize that there is a problem, why stop before you figure out the problem is?  I know that this whole Pastor Lance Knight thing has everybody a little gun-shy regarding new (to them) teachings.  That is perhaps the greatest damage Lance has done peripherally.  Everything is now stunted, every teaching suspect.  [Note:  For those who aren't familiar with what Pastor Knight has begun to teach recently: Pastor Knight has said that "the Sixth Trump has sounded and the Seventh Trump has 'begun' to sound."  And that "antichrist is already here" living inside of Christians who "don't have enough oil in their lamps."  Pastor Knight has gone off the deep end, and scared and confused his whole flock.  May God forgive him for that, if it be His will.]

     You said: 

"I know it [Ezekiel chpts. 40-48] speaks of the millennium
as it speaks of the "priests" who "reign" with Christ,
also it shows the restoration of both houses."

     Perhaps another day we can discus this.  Suffice it for me now to say that the two houses (Judah & Israel) were joined at the First Advent.  But let's focus on one thing at a time.  And I know that my statement is not how you have been taught.  So I know that you will not agree with it, but I can prove it.  Later I shallwith Scripturein my forthcoming book.  (Hint: Nowhere after Christ do we see mention of two separate houses.  All is Israel, there is no more Judah Kingdom [there is a Judah Tribe, yes, we see them in Rev 7 being sealed with the twelve tribes, where they are ALL called simply: "Israel."  But no two-tribe nation Judah exists as a kingdom any longer]). 

     And all those so-called Jews running around today calling themselves "Judah" are impostors, and work for antichrist, not Jesus Christ.  Their messiah is satan, not God.  They and their religion killed The God Jesus Christ for their god satan.  They left The God of the Holy Bible and found their god satan in Babylon, in their Jewish Babylonian Talmud and Kabbalah.  Yet today beguiled Christians reckon them  as "God's chosen people."  Amazing blindness in the land!

A word to the Judaic:

     To all you so-called secular (nice word for Atheist) Jews, who are not Judah at all, never were; but who led true Judah (of whom you were not) astray, and mixed her with serpents in Babylon, your fathers: read the below well, and drink it it up; for it is your cup:

Jer 2:28-31
28 But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.
29 Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD.
30 In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
31 O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?  KJV

     Save yourselves, Judaics, if you think that you can.  Below is an excerpt from our coming book:

Jews Claim That They Themselves, Collectively, Are To Be The Awaited Messiah!

 

Below is a (reduced) facsimile of a portion of a page 716 from the Talmud (the uncensored 1936 Soncino Press edition of The Babylonian Talmud (vol. I)1, wherein it states that the Jewish people themselves, are to be the awaited Messiah.

 

“...the Messiah [is] without metaphor, the Jewish people.”1

―The Jewish Babylonian Talmud, Kethuboth, 111a.

(Quoted from highlighted area in below facsimile)

 


 

     So what you have is this: that they killed the Messiah Jesus Christ when He came to save His people Israel (which modern-day Jews claim to be, but are not, and do lie [Rev 3:9]); and now in the later years, presume to become Him, to replace Him, to be what He was to have been at His First Advent, had they not killed Him―the King in His Kingdom, on Earth. 


1 Reduced facsimile of actual page (middle of page) 716, of the 1936 Soncino Press Edition of the Babylonian Talmud, vol. 1, Kethuboth 111a.  (as contained in, The Jewish Religion: Its Influence Today, Elizabeth Dilling, “Table of Exhibits,” Exhibit #147.  1963.)

     It is said in the Scriptures that "...The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God ." (Ps 14:1a), but what can we say of men who say that they are God?  I know what God is going to say to them!  Yet, corrupted endtime Christians all around us call them the "chosen of God" people!  Will they then worship the Jews when they claim to be the messiahs of the world?  I wonder.  After all, the Scriptures do say:

Rev 13:3-6
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast
[the New World Order set up by satan's people (seed) on Earth].
4 And they worshipped the dragon
[satan/antichrist] which gave power unto the beast [satan's people & their kingdom]: and they worshipped the beast [satan's people], saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months
[the 1st portion of the Tribulation].
6 And he
[satan's beast system with satan's "Jewish" people in control] opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.  KJV

     Can there be any greater "blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven" than the Jewish blasphemy: “...the Messiah [is] without metaphor, the Jewish people.” ―The Jewish Babylonian Talmud, Kethuboth, 111a.    

     And to you so-called religious Jews, who believe the lie that you really are biological children of Israel, and imagine that your Babylonian Talmud and Kabbalah have replaced God's Old and New Testaments of His Holy Bible: read this well; for it is your cup:

Jer 2:4-19
4 Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:
5 Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
6 Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?
7 And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
8 The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.
9 Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children's children will I plead.
10 For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
11 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
12 Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD.
13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
14 Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?
15 The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.
16 Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head.
17 Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way?
18 And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?
19 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.  KJV

     Only in Jesus Christ can you be children of the living God.  But you will not have Christ Jesus; instead, you mock and blaspheme Him, and your fathers killed Him, and you shall kill His holy adopted Christian children in the Tribulation.  Your cup awaits at the Second Advent of God.  What you do not take into consideration is that when your ancestors and their vile religion killed Jesus Christ, they killed God (in the flesh); for Jesus was called Immanuel, and Immanuel means: God with us.  And hating you, your ancestors cursed you:

Matthew 27:20-25
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.  KJV

     The only way to lift that curse is through Jesus Christ.  In other words―by becoming a Christians in good faith.  Even you can be forgiven and saved by God through belief in Jesus Christ.

All peoples can be adopted into true Israel through Jesus Christ:

Gal 4:4-7
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.  KJV

Eph 1:3-12
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.  KJV


Jesus Christ was the Lord God Himself in the flesh:

Isa 7:14
14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.  KJV

Matt 1:22-25
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.  KJV

The cup:

Rev 14:9-12
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.  KJV

Is the Jew then doomed to be damned?

     No; the Jew too may accept Jesus Christ become a son of God by adoption; thus finding eternal life from their spiritually dead state of today.  Will they convert and live?  Well, some of them did in Paul's time.  Apostle Paul was very well versed in the Jew's religion (today called Judaism, but then called Pharisaism), and Paul evangelized many Jews from death into life; which is why Jews today hate him and lie about him, calling him a woman-hater, and a false prophet, and saying that his Epistles don't belong in the Christian's Bible, etc. ad nauseam, blah, blah, blah.... 

     If you are a Jew, listen well to Apostle Peter, for he spoke the below by the power of the Qodesh Ruwach (Holy Spirit) of Yehovah (God).  You so-called religious Jews of today have been lied to and overthrown by the Kenites (sons of Cain) in your midst:

Acts 2:29-39
29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord
[Psalms 110:1], Sit thou on my right hand,
35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord
and Christ [ho Theos -Grk. #3588 (Art.) & #2316] & [Chrisos -Grk. #5547].
37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.  KJV

Psalms 110
1  The LORD
[Yehovah] said unto my Lord ['Adonaay], Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
2 The LORD
[Yehovah] shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
4 The LORD
[Yehovah] hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
5 The Lord
['Adonaay] at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.  KJV

     Will you Jews hear?  Most of you probably won't; you'll just call me an Anti-Semite, because that is the false accusation and the slanderous name that you have been programmed to call people like me.  But know this: If you do not hear, convert, and be saved, you shall perish; period!  You can bop your heads off the Wailing Wall till the cows come home, but your stones cannot save you.  Your rabbis have lied to you, to destroy you; just like many of our Christian clergy have lied and deceived us, to try to destroy us; but both are of satan, neither works for God.  No rabbi works for God, and most Christian clergy do not work for God either. (Nor does any non-Christian clergy, such as Muslim Imam, Buddhist Monk, etc., work for God.  They are all tools in satan's hand). 

John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  KJV

     And the Old Covenant for salvation is no long applicable, it has been superseded.  In the below, Apostle Paul speaks; whom was a former Pharisee himself, and one well-versed in the religion that became today's Judaism.  All Judaics needs hear this message from God, through His servant, the Hebrew stock (Phil 3:5-supplied below), son of Israel by Benjamin (Phil 3:5), the Christian apostle Paul:

Heb 8:1-13
1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest
[Jesus Christ], who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man
[Jesus Christ] have somewhat also to offer.
4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for,
See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. [quoted from Ex 25:40]
6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, he saith,
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. [quoted from Jer 31:31-34]
13 In that he saith,
A new covenant [Jer 31:1], he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.  KJV

Apostle Paul documenting his heritage:

Philippians 3:3-14
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.  KJV

Welcome to Jesus Christ, the New Covenant.  Have you heard of Him?  Have you heard Him?

PS:  It is no small coincidence that even among corrupt sects of so-called Christians today (New Age, Mormons, Manifest Sons Of God, etc.) you see them also being taught that that they shall become gods or godlike in power and form.  Just like satan (the serpent) promised Eve when he lied to her and said: "ye shall be as gods" (Gen 3:5).  This seems to be a major mobus operandi (M.O.) of satan, and we can expect to see it increase as the end draws near.  (See our: Anatomy of a False Doctrine, and, The Unforgivable Sin).

Is the King James version the true written Word of God, to the exclusion of all other so-called Bible versions?

 

 XXXX writes:

"...You haven't provided any evidence whatsoever
that'd prove the KJV Bible
[King James Bible version]
 
is a perfect translation.
There are numerous errors in it (as with any
translation), all of which I will not go through one
by one, because, to be honest, they cannot all be
explained away with an old Webster's dictionary.
Bullinger noted a great deal of these errors in his
sidenotes and did his best to correct them. Is he
wrong in every instance? Can you honestly make such a
claim? I can't."

Answer:

     So you don't believe any Bible?  I refer to your shocking statement: "There are numerous errors in it [the King James Bible] (as with any translation)".  I wonder how it is that you are a Christian!  You also said (actually you mimicked what you heard from other Bible deniers): "all of which [so-called Bible errors] I will not go through one by one".  You don't have to "go through one by one" with them, they have all been gone through and explained years ago, hundreds of years ago for some of the so-called discrepancies.  When a so-called Bible teacher comes across a Scripture that he can't grasp, he at once screams "Bible mistake."  Well, the mistake is in their limited knowledge, not in the vast completeness of God's written Word, the Bible. 

     And you must understand that satan has tried from the beginning to cast doubt on the Bible, for it speaks of his defeat and ultimate death in the Lake of Fire.  The sad thing is that Christians like to think that they are bright and they latch onto this whole "Bible is flawed" lie, thereby destroying the faith that they once claim to believe in.  Inadvertently, they are allowing satan to work through them!  Though they would poo-poo any such notion.  For, to them, it is much easier to believe that God's written Word is flawed, than to believe that they are stupid about it.

     Which is easier for you to believe?

"Bullinger noted a great deal of these errors in his
sidenotes and did his best to correct them. Is he
wrong in every instance? Can you honestly make such a
claim?"

     or:

"any evidence whatsoever that'd
 prove the KJV Bible is a perfect translation."

     Why is it easier for you to doubt the King James Version Bible than it is to doubt Ethelbert William Bullinger? 

    And since you have steadfastly refused to read my Bible versions study (which would go a long way to explain much of this to your heart) you will not understand the following: Bullinger did not correct the King James Bible with his footnotes, what he did was to show you every place in the New Testament where the new Bible version (the Revised Version [the R.V. of 1885]) manuscripts differed from the King James Version Bible New Testament manuscripts (Textus Receptus).  That is all he did. 

     What did he believe?  Did he doubt the King James Bible version?  We don't know, but he quoted it for his whole life, he taught it as an Anglican Priest, he defended it with all his might, he was saved through it's words, and he led others to salvation through it.  It seems clear (if we take for granted that the New Testament footnotes of The Companion Bible were faithful to Bullinger's notes (as Bullinger was dead before any of the New Testament of his Companion Bible were published), that Bullinger bought into the "new manuscripts are better" lie.  I personally wonder is there wasn't skullduggery afoot with the men that completed Bullinger's Companion Bible (the Biography of E.W. Bullinger more than hints at dissention among his assistants after his death; it was these men that completed the Companion Bible, ostensively from Bullinger's notes).   

     Bullinger was too sharp and too faithful to the Scriptures to agree with all the omissions in the new manuscripts, and to so flippantly discard words and entire verses as "his" footnotes would indicate.  But I cannot yet prove this.  But there are some contradictions to some of the writings of Bullinger when he was alive, compared with his New Testament footnotes in the Companion Bible.  Also, Bullinger did not always agree with the gross omissions and alterations of the newer manuscripts (for instance, observe his argument against the new versions omission of the last dozen verses of Mark [see The Last Twelve Verses of Mark's Gospel]). 

     You said:

"When I look at the KJV Bible I see a wonderful work."

     That isn't going to be good enough, xxxx.  And you know that.  If you do not see the written Word of God in the KJV Bible, and you know that all the other so-called Bible versions are gross corruptions, then you Sir, have not the words from God on Earth in writing.  There is no other way to look at this.  If the KJV is not God's Word in writing, and if as we know, no other Bible version is; then it is not here, we then do not have God's written Word, period.  And if what we have is a flawed corrupted work, no matter how much of a "wonderful work" you think it is, it can't be trusted anywhere.  For if it is corrupt here, then how can we know it isn't corrupted there

     Either you have God's written Word, or you do not.  How can you lead someone to Christ with John 3:16 and then tell them to omit 1st John 5:7, etc.?  You can't.  And you know that you can't!

1 John 5:7
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.  KJV

John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  KJV

Note:  1st Jn 5:7 is omitted in all newer Bible versions.  John 3:16 is the main salvation verse that is quoted to convert unbelievers.  The King James Bible version has both verses (and all other verses of God's written Word).  The newer versions have 50,000 less words than the King James Bible!!!  Satan was at work corrupting God's words, just like he did in the Garden of Eden with Eve: "Yea, hath God said?" (Gen 3:1).  What did the sinful hell-bound (Rev 22:18-19) editors leave out of the newer so-called Bible versions like the New International Version, the American Standard Version, etc.?  See our: Adulterations in the Newer Bible Versions (NIV, NASB...); Proof that the King James Bible (KJV) is the True Word of God.

     You must get off of the fence on this one.  Before you worry about Ezekiel's, and Tribulations, and 6th & 7th Trumps, you need to hunker down somewhere and learn to believe that you have the Divinely preserved words of God set before you in an open Bible, then decide which Bible that is; or you need to find a new vocation, leaving the teaching of God's Word to those who believe the Scriptures that they supply to support their teachings.  It is that serious, and that real.   

Peace; Nick. 

PS:  May I suggest a book that will greatly help you in this matter?  You will come away from it with a relieved heart; a load shall have been lifted from your soul.  Such torment you must be in to believe that the Bible is the Holy written Word of God, but can't find that Bible to put your hands on it.  I pity you in that.

New Age Bible Versions: (Highly Recommended!) An Exhaustive Documentation of the Message, Men & Manuscripts Moving Mankind to the Antichrist's One World Religion by G. A. Riplinger Reviewer: Dennis E. House: She's right on the mark! Giants of theology would agree as well, eg, Robert Dick Wilson, Dr. D. O. Fuller, Dr. Edward F. Hills, Dr. D. A. Waite, and numerous others. An old saying goes like this, "throw a rock into a group of pigs, and the one that squeals the loudest is the one you hit". She has hurled some serious rocks, shaken more than a few trees, so it is inevitable that criticisms would ensue. Sadly, however, most people will never take time to research and find out for themselves whether or not her research is accurate. I have personally researched this topic over the last 12 years, out of a desire to know which bible is THE bible, and have come to the conclusion that today's scholarship is simply a clone of the gross errors of earlier misguided pseudo scholars. This explains why most "scholars" today support the "new" bibles...at the college level, they are not given ALL the arguments for the KJV and against the clearly corrupted minority manuscripts which underlies ALL "modern" translations. These errors have perpetuated for more than 100 years and are solidly entrenched in virtually all bible colleges, seminaries, and universities today. This does not, however, mean they are correct. Case in point, "phyletic gradualism" (slow, gradual, "Darwinian" evolution) has been taught for years to be "the" definition of the origin of species, but is now all but defunked in favor of "punctuated equilibrium". Few credible scientists still insist upon Darwinian evolution today, but it is still in virtually all scientific textbooks and is still taught as the de facto explanation for the origin of life. People really need to do some SERIOUS research for THEMSELVES before they condemn this author and this book, because I believe that if they did they would find both the author and book far more in line with the actual empirical evidence. Kudos to G. Riplinger for her courageous stand in the face of all the "stuck pigs"! (Approx. $14-$15)

Why would God give his children, Adam and Eve, a death sentence?

 

A Reader writes:

"Why would God give his children, Adam and Eve a death sentence for disobedience when they were new and innocent not knowing that the serpent was the Evil one? No one I know would kill their child for disobedience."

Answer:

     They were warned:

Gen 2:16-17
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.  KJV

     Then they turned against God and believed a lie that said that God wasn't all that He said that He was.  Going even further, they attempted to become gods themselves.  This is much more than a simple act of disobedience:

Gen 3:4-5
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.  KJV

     Then they followed through with their insurrection:

Gen 3:6
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.  KJV

     You stated:

"No one I know would kill their child for disobedience."

     Then you don't know God, do you?

Gen 2:16-17
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.  KJV

     Or, you don't believe His written Word, the Bible.

The Reader writes back:

MR. GOGGIN,

 I MOST SURELY DO KNOW GOD. AFTER I SENT YOU THE QUESTION, I WENT AND REVIEWED THE BOOK OF GENESIS. I FOUND OUT HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO REVIEW GOD'S WORD MORE OFTEN. I HAD FORGOTTEN THAT GOD HAD STILL LET THEM LIVE ALMOST A THOUSAND YEARS (IN THE CASE OF METHUSELAH AND A FEW OTHERS LIVING TO BE 900+ YRS.) I HAD ALSO JUST RECENTLY LEARNED ABOUT THE SONS OF GOD TAKING HUMAN WOMEN AS WIVES AND CORRUPTING THEM AND LEADING TO THE CORRUPTION OF THE WHOLE OF MANKIND UNTIL GOD WAS UNABLE TO CLAIM THAT THEY WERE IN HIS IMAGE, AND HOW SAD HE WAS. EVEN THOUGH HE FOUND FAVOR WITH NOAH WE CANNOT BE SURE THAT NOAH AND HIS FAMILY WERE WITHOUT CORRUPTION UNLESS YOU HAVE A WORD FOR ME ABOUT THAT. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE LETTER WRITTEN IN HASTE WITHOUT CHECKING GOD'S WORD FIRST. I WILL CONTINUE TO STUDY MORE. THANK YOU FOR REPLYING. I AM SAVED. I DON'T BELONG TO ANY RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION BECAUSE I BELIEVE CHURCH DENOMINATION IS BASED ON THE WRONG DOINGS OF, THE LOVE OF MONEY, JEALOUSY, TRYING TO OUT DO ONE ANOTHER, TEACHING THAT IF A PERSON ISN'T PROSPERING FINANCIALLY THEY ARE NOT LIVING IN GOD'S WILL. I AM A WIDOW OF 2 YRS. LIVE WITH MY DAUGHTER (WHO WORKS HARDER THAN ANYONE I KNOW) AND GRANDDAUGHTER. WE LIVE ON $20,000 DOLLARS A YEAR, BUT THE LORD SEES TO OUR EVERY NEED. WE GIVE TO SEVERAL CHARITIES (VETERANS,  MISSION AND SHELTERS, ST. JUDES) BUT NOT TO GREEDY T.V. MINISTRIES. I'M NOT JUDGING THEM, JUST HAVE TO GIVE TO THOSE IN REAL NEED.

THANKS AGAIN, xxxxxx


Answer:

Hello.  You said:

"WE CANNOT BE SURE THAT NOAH AND HIS FAMILY WERE WITHOUT CORRUPTION UNLESS YOU HAVE A WORD FOR ME ABOUT THAT."

     The Word has word for you on that:

Gen 6:9
9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.  KJV

     Bullinger, in Noah "Perfect", explains the above verse as such:
 

Noah "Perfect". (Gen 6:9).
This Is Appendix 26 From The Companion Bible.
 

   The Hebrew word tamim means without blemish, and is the technical word for bodily and physical perfection, and not moral. Hence it is used of animals of sacrificial purity. It is rendered without blemish in Exodus 12:5; 29:1. Leviticus 1:3,10; 3:1,6; 4:3,23,28,32; 5:15,18; 6:6; 9:2,3; 14:10; 22:19; 23:12,18. Numbers 6:14; 28:19,31; 29:2,8,13,20,23,29,32,36. Ezekiel 43:22,23,25; 45:18,23; 46:4,6,13.

   Without spot. Numbers 19:2; 28:3,9,11; 29:17,26.

   Unified. Psalms 119:1.

   This shows that Genesis 6:9 does not speak of Noah's moral perfection, but tells us that he and his family alone had preserved their pedigree and kept it pure, in spite of the prevailing corruption brought about by the fallen angels. See Appendix 23 and Appendix 25


  
  God bless, and sorry if I came off as huffy to you in response to your first E-mail.  May God always fill your every needin Jesus Christ's name!
