Answer:

Hello.  I don't know that I "keep saying" it, but perhaps the below may help you:

    Now, I am not an advocate for breaking any commands; however, may I point out to you that the people "who kept the Sabbath" after Jesus Christ resurrected were the ones that had Him killed.

    And by the way, the answer to your question was contained in one of your own Scripture references.  But you couldn't see it because you are using a corrupt "newer, easier to read version" Bible.  (See our: Adulterations in the Newer Bible Versions (NIV, NASB...); Proof that the King James Bible (KJV) is the True Word of God.)  You quoted Hebrews 4:9 and then asked me how I could say that Jesus Christ is our rest.  However, had you read from the time-tested and trusted King James Bible Version (which was originally named simply The Holy Bible) you would have been able to answer your own question:

    Your version:

    The "King James version" Holy Bible:

    And reading the above verse in context, you shall see why we say that Jesus Christ is our rest:

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

Hello.  You asked:

"Help me understand..."

    It sounds to me that you understand perfectly.    

    Nobody said that it was going to be easy.  But most of the preparations are for the first part of the Tribulation, just staying alive on your own goods, protected away from the mobs of people who haven't made any preparations and are going to want to steal yours.  So you could do that in remote areas with a standard mortgage, etc. 

    Antichrist's people are only going to actively pursue those who are causing a resistance to their take-over; so, the average Christian will be off the radar because the antichrist's people won't care to enlist the resources to hunt out every Christian. They will have easy access to Christians in the cities because the cities only have three days worth of food on the super-market shelves. 

    So, you really aren't hiding from supernatural fallen angels and satan/antichrist—I don't know that you could,  God will provide for that, as you notice in Rev 9:4 that the  fallen angels (locusts) were not permitted to harass certain people: "but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads."—but you are hiding from your fellow man gone mad under the influence of satan in the endtime Tribulation which I identify as circa 47 months (42 months first part, 5 months second part). 

    Of course, a "Plan B" is always a good idea. 

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

    Oh sure, the Sermon on the Mount was given one time IN THAT PLACE, but how many other times do you suppose that He repeated it to different people in different towns on different days and months and years?  And what?  And what if He spoke more expressly on any matter in one town than in another; did He not know the hearts of all men everywhere, and could we rightly say that He did not tailor His address according the several audiences.  Of course He did; and on top of that, He always spoke in greater depth when He addressed His disciples alone as opposed to when speaking to the general masses of people.

    John gives us the key to unlock this mystery; for, did not "the disciple that Christ loved" (John 19:26), the Apostle John even say:

    And let's apply logic to this (I say this for the detractors, not to you, Xxxxxx, as I know that you are just trying to learn a ready answer should you ever be asked about this matter): Do you suppose that "forgers" would make such a blatant mistake as to miss on the number, time, place, and audience of events?  No; exactly the opposite is the case, the fact that these subtle differences exist in the text indicates fidelity to the event, not harmony in copies of the same story.  And why mention that same miracle twice, had Jesus nothing else to say to fill the volume of the Book?

    Bullinger (that most excellent and faithful Bible scholar) speaks perfectly on this same matter in his Companion Bible.  Take note of his footnotes for the two temptations in the wilderness, etc.

Hello [Xxxxxx].  Based upon  Revelation chapter eleven (and Zech 4 in the Old Testament) I cannot agree with the above possibility.  It is clear in Scripture that the witnesses are both human and die, and then resurrect.  They are also called prophets; nations are not prophets, they have prophets, and the prophets are human men.  Observe:

    These Two Witnesses in Old Testament prophecy:

    And to tell you the truth, America and Great Britain are apostating away from God and Christ, and most certainly are not suitable as witnesses of God.  In fact, we are becoming the enemy of God, what with our abortion, divorce, pornography, crimes and murders, and "separation of church (God) and state (people)."  Courtesy, of course, of the Judaics who led us to where we are today.  Christians ought not allow antichrists to lead them.  So bad have we become, though we are blind to our own fall, that the false-god worshipping murderous Muslims even call us the "great satan" and our women "whores."  Are they wrong?  Open the Bible and search, but you won't like the answer.

    Americans think that they are the center of the universe, that they are so Godly and doing God's good will.  A cold-slap-in-the-face wake up call is in order here, for the people are deluded in their immorality.  You can't keep descending into greater and greater depths of perversion and expect God to "lower the bar."  "For I am the Lord, I change not" (Mal 3:6a).  There comes a point where one becomes at odds with—nay, an enemy of—God.  And if were not for His promise to our (true-Israel) forefathers we would have been rewarded according to our deeds long ago.

Mal 3:6
6 For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.  KJV

    And as for the "feel good message" false preachers of today who pat you on the back and encourage your fall, I say this: God sees.  And again:

Gal 6:7
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.  KJV

    And again: that God's Judgment begins at the pulpit with the preachers and teachers of His Word, for "unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required" (Luke 12:48b)

Ezek 9:4-10
4 And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord God! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
9 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and [they say] the Lord seeth not.
10 And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.  KJV

    The Scriptures do not speak in vain.

    And America is doing more to build the ungodly beast one-world system that we see completed in Revelation chapter thirteen than any other nation on the planet.  And what kind of Godly nation murders the innocents in the womb legally by law, and releases rapists and murderers back into the streets "by mercy?"  This they learned not from God's Bible; but rather, they learned it from God's enemies, the great promoters of every vile and detestable thing.  Of course it isn't us, per se; but rather, it is "us" deluded by satan's minions.  The Judaics are trying (successfully) to get us to have God curse us, to remove His blessings from off of this nation.  If you were God would you bless this nation?  I wouldn't, I'd punish it.  And if it weren't for God's promises to our (true-Israel) forefathers He would have wiped us off the map long ago.  But even God's patience can reach an end, as we shall see in the Tribulation.  That's the "why" of the Tribulation.

    I know that this all is hard to accept, but it is undeniable; just open an unbiased eye and look around you.  May I close with a quote from another introspective writer:

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

Subject: [Regarding a WBSG article on] Judaic inhumanity Of Their "Kosher" Slaughterhouses

Hey stupid, most of the planet kills animals with knives!

Yeah, keep ritual of slaughter in the hands of Christians!

Say, aren’t you the Christian guys who dropped 2 atomic bombs on civilians and watched them roast to death. Was that more humane?

Oh,and WWII, another Christian enterprise killed more than 64 million humans

And WWi and the Korean War and Vietnam,- man you christians cannot stop butchering - 100 million dead there !

Oh and the gas chambers you German Christians used on 14 million men, women, children, gays, the disabled, priests and nuns – Was that more humane?

Oh, but then again you Christians used clubs, daggers, machine guns to murder thousands more at open graves. Was that more humane?

And that Spanish inquisition – More Christian butchers perfected pouring liquid lead down non confessors throats  in the name of Jesus - was that humane? 

And the Pogroms of Russia with the holy cross held by the priests as Christians clubbed to death babies and the elderly. Was that more humane?

Food -  How about those thousands of great Christian Turkey and Chicken cesspool factories.

Ever see how 1 billion Muslins kill Camels - put up a website on that!

And if you have 1\2 a brain between you all, the bolt gun is about 100 years old - what was used for thousands of years ? knives. And guess how billions still kill cows - with knives.

So write a letter to Jesus (after all his mom and dad were jews who ate kosher like the rest of the world) and make a complaint.

Stupid people posting stupid websites without 3 seconds of research

Answer:

Hello, my Kosher little friend.  What's the matter, you don't like the truth; It would seem that the two of you are strangers?  In the article (and undercover PETA video) that you refer to I have placed testimonies of Jewish authorities and rabbis who state the video accurately depicts the (barbarous and bestial) methods employed in the Jewish Kosher slaughter.  So your problem is with the rabbis, not me.

KOSHER FOOD – Video of Jewish "Religious" Ritual Slaughter 

    And this "Kosher Slaughter thing" helps to once again see the terrible power and influence of Jewry in America.  Consider that Michael Vick, the football star who was ruined (and imprisoned) because of his inhumane treatment of animals; but the savage rabbis are not taken to task for what could only accurately be described as ritual animal torture so that the "Chosen People" can have meat worthy of their holiness.  Had anyone else tortured their livestock like the Talmudic demons do the world would at once rise up against them.  Yet, rabbis are treated with the utmost respect, and Jews are fawned over as poor persecuted do-gooders.  This is true power, the power turn the truth into a lie and lies into the truth.  And even the normally radical animal-rights activists cower before the power of International Jewry. 

    And you, you antichrist, like your predecessors and contemporaries, are a liar.  That's what people such as you do, they lie, forge history, falsify facts, slander good men. 

    I will take your diatribe line by line and dispose of you as just another Kosher liar based upon the internal evidence of your own apologia.  For, everything that you blame non-Jews for was actually instigated and committed by Judaics.  Now, not all Jews are like you, just the ones with any public voice.  And that is why so many Jews are Atheists ("Secular" Jews), it is because the religion and the people of Jewry have been hijacked by liars and evil accursed men, and many decent Jews see through the demonics of Talmudic Judaism.  Perhaps your spiritual ancestors got their wish after all:

    Reread verse 25 above if you ever develop a conscience and introspectively ask yourself why you are the way that you are. 

You said:

    Overlooking your introductory insult, you are wrong.  The accepted slaughter method by civilized peoples is a process that is called "knocking."  What that is, is that the animal is led into a shoot, then a hydraulic machine is placed against the base of his skull.  A powerful piston then fires with a loud "knock" sound (hence the name "knocking") and a metal shaft is blasted into the animals brain stem where brain meets spinal cord, and the animal dies on his feet and falls dead instantly, never feeling a thing.  Animal rights advocates in America approve as humane this manner of slaughter utilized in non-Jewish slaughter houses.

You said:

    That's the problem, Christian don't "ritually slaughter," that is a Jewish thing.  Christians kill to eat, not to make elaborate orgies out of the practice.  See:

    Nice try, but you aren't talking to a dumbed-down Goyim who learned history in the Judaic-controlled education system and universities. 

    The Atom Bomb was Jewry's gift to the world.  Albert Einstein, scientist on the Atom Bomb project, was a Judaic (and a Communist spy).  See Einstein's letter to President (and crypto-Jew) Franklin D. Roosevelt (real Jewish surname: Rosenvelt) encouraging him to sanction work on the Atom Bomb.  Which he did.   

Project director for the Manhattan Project (the Atom Bomb), the Judaic, Robert Oppenheimer.

Crypto-Jew U.S. President Harry S. Truman — Nuked Japan.

    And the "Father of the Atomic Bomb,"  Robert Oppenheimer, was a Jew (also an accused Communist spy).

    Judaics were swarming all over the Atom Bomb program.  And the crypto-Jew President Harry Solomon/Shipp Truman dropped the Bomb on Japan in defiance of his advisors and because of the urging of the Judaic Oppenheimer.

    It should be noted that contrary to popular lie, Japan wanted terms of surrender before the bomb was dropped.  Japan was defeated, which is why their last ditch effort was the Kamikaze; suicide attacks are the last gasp of an enemy (except for Muslims who make a religious offering of them to their nonexistent stone-idol god).  But Truman ignored them and dropped a real Holocaust on them—twice.   

The side wall of Urakami Cathedral after the atomic bombing (replica) Urakami Cathedral was once the largest church in the Orient. Located about 500 meters northeast of the hypocenter, it collapsed and burned as a result of the atomic bomb explosion. This is a replica of part of the wall remaining on the southern side of the ruins.   — Records of the Nagasaki Atomic Bombing

    The world must know of this new weapon so that it can be used to change the course of history in the Cold War.  Which is why the dual-citizen Judaic scientists gave their secrets of the Atom Bomb to Jewish-controlled Bolshevik USSR's scientists.  Parity breeds a rolling conflict that can be controlled, which is how the International Judaics (your Greater Brethren who would, and did, sacrifice you Lesser Brethren) manage this their world.

    As another Jewish fingerprint to the nuclear bombing of Japan: ground zero for the Nagasaki blast was a Catholic church in the Christian sector. 

You said:

"Oh,and WWII, another Christian enterprise killed more than 64 million humans"

"And WWi and the Korean War and Vietnam,- man you christians cannot stop butchering - 100 million dead there !"

"Oh and the gas chambers you German Christians used on 14 million men, women, children, gays, the disabled, priests and nuns – Was that more humane? "

Did Six Million Really Die?...The Truth   More Jews (3 1/3 million) filed for survivor compensation from West Germany after the war than were in all of German controlled Europe during the war (3 million). That doesn't even begin to try to account for the "exterminated" (six-million).   Excerpt:  "...how many of the 3 million European Jews under German control survived after 1945? .... the growing number of Jews claiming compensation from the West German Government for having allegedly suffered between 1939 and 1945.  By 1965 the number of these claimants registered with the West German Government had tripled in ten years and reached 3,375,000 (Aufbau, June 30, 1965) ... Nothing could be a more devastating proof of the brazen fantasy of the Six Million. Most of these claimants are Jews, so there can be no doubt that the majority of the 3 million Jews who experienced the Nazi occupation of Europe remained, in fact, very much alive. It is a resounding confirmation of the fact that Jewish casualties during the Second World War can only be estimated at a fraction of 'Six Million'.  Surely this is enough grief for the Jewish people? Who has the right to compound it with vast imaginary slaughter, marking with eternal shame a great European nation, as well as wringing fraudulent monetary compensation from them?"   (Continued at page.)

Hi [Xxxxxx].  The problem with Kenites is that we can't be sure we can identify them all the time.  In the parable of the wheat and tares we are informed that they look just like us until the very end when harvest is ready.  We also are told not to try to pluck them up by ourselves because we could accidentally make a misidentification—and thinking that one of God's children is a Kenite—commit a sin by destroying an innocent.  We aren't to destroy them, God made it clear that He has His angels for that task.  Below is what happened in the Garden of Eden (see What was the Real sin in the garden of Eden?).  It must also be noted that by the time of the Garden of Eden there were already the other races created on the sixth day (see Mankind; two separate creation events); therefore, Kenites are a "White thing."

Matt 13:24-30
24 Another parable put he [Jesus] forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. KJV

    You notice that we are NOT to gather up (uproot, destroy) the tares, God has His angels to handle that charge because they being supernatural and under God's direct supervision shall not make any mistakes and wrongly accuse an innocent.  This type of warfare (destruction) is prohibited us, and anyone who took up arms against a Kenite simply for the fact that he was a Kenite would be in trouble with God (but we always retain the right of self defense and self preservation).  Self defense is a clear line, but self preservation is a gray area that can be problematic.  And after speaking the above parable in front of both His disciples and the general mass of people, Jesus would go on later to explain it in deeper fashion when He had only His disciples in audience.  It is there we can can get a clearer understanding of the matter; for, Jesus Himself deciphered the parable.  He didn't always decipher His parables for us, so this was a special bonus.  Observe below.  The tares are the Kenites, the sons of Cain (by Eve), the wheat are the sons of Adam (by Eve):

Matt 13:36-43
36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare [explain] unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41 The Son of man [Jesus] shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. KJV

    So we see that it is not our place to uproot these tares (Kenites).  But that doesn't mean that we are to be impotent against them.  It doesn't mean that we are to pretend that they don't exist (as so many pastors do, wittingly or unwittingly), because why would Jesus identify their existence had He wanted us to deny to our congregations that they exist?  So, what Jesus identifies let no preacher deny exists.  And let no servant of God do wrong by taking up arms against a protected, by God's good design, class of evil people by.  God knows the end of the matter, and He has His reasons for allowing the tares to complete their duties in fulfilling the negative parts of God's prophecies.  Pastor A. Murray says that a Kenite can be converted and saved, and I agree with him that Christ's blood is able to save any man; therefore, a Kenite today may be a saved child of God tomorrow.  So, destroying one of those sort before he was converted would be to intrude into God's salvation matrix. 

    There is another side to this, the Kenites also have prohibitions on whom they can "molest," but we are not told exactly all the details of that.  In other words, this whole controversy is God's business.  He only gave us a glimpse of it as we had need. 

    Now, I am not suggesting that we are to allow the Kenites to roll over us, for they will, given the chance; and I don't care if it is a Kenite, an Israelite, a Gentile, or the man on the moon: if someone is trying to attack and kill you or your family, then send them to God.  (For, there is not a nation on this Earth that does not recognize the right to self protection.)  But what I am saying is that we are not to try to judge the souls and attack people that we think are children of the serpent (satan) from the Garden of Eden (Kenites) simply for who they are.  If one were to be so foolish as to fall into that, he would be tried and convicted, and would spend the Tribulation in prison as a murderer or other criminal instead of working in the field (world) where God could use them during the troublous endtimes.  This is a trap, avoid it.  Self protection: yes; Kenite hunting: no.  God's people are a people of laws and order, do allow satan to tempt any of us into lawlessness.  Lawlessness is not of God, no matter what flag you do it under.

    If I may note: many people nowadays are becoming a little obsessed with Kenites and fallen angels, etc.  But that isn't necessarily our place.  Should God have desire that one of His servants do conflict with the other side, He will prepare them for the task and there shall be no doubts.

    Had God wanted the Kenites eradicated, He would have made them easily identifiable, and the early church, which was not shy to draw blood, would have exterminated them.  But this was not God's will.  So we must be careful not to intrude into areas that are not meant for us tread.

    Something else I must add.  Many seem to think that "Jews" are the Kenites.  And that "White people" are Israel.  Well, it is not that simple.  Regarding true-Israel: they are only the sons (no gender intended) of Jacob (renamed to Israel by God).  But Jacob had a brother, Esau; Both of these men were born of the same mother and father.  As well, Jacob's father Isaac had a brother named Ishmael (these were born of different mothers).  And there were many others in the Adamic line (from Adam) who were not in Jacob/Israel's line.  So, while they may look the same, not all "White" people are true-Israel.  But who can tell who is who?  God.

    And don't forget that through Christ Jesus all men including the Gentile races can be adopted into the family and have full rights of a natural born son.  But this is regarding salvation.  These later (natural born) are not spiritual children converted through Christ, but rather they are natural born sons of Israel (who are naturally Christian, for it was to them that Christ was first sent "But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." (Matt 15:24).  It isn't that God doesn't care about His other children, it is just that His servants, Israel, had to be called out to duty.  And that He also necessarily had to keep His promise to Israel's ancestors, Isaac, Abraham and remain true the prophecy in the Garden of Eden regarding Adam's by Eve's descendants (Gen 3:15).

Gen 3:14-15
14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.  KJV

    Later, the doors to salvation and adoption through faith in Jesus Christ would be available to every soul of God's good creation.  For this cause also was Jesus crucified.  But true-Israel has higher duties, they shall shine forth in the Tribulation.  All throughout the Bible the prophets, the leaders, the martyrs even, were natural born sons of Israel; for, the controversy of satan and his son Cain is predominantly against Adam's sons through Israel by the womb.  It is for this cause that the Two Witnesses shall Israel by blood, it can be no other way.  And also that satan shall be a White "man" just like Israel looks, it can be no other way.

    About racial characterizes; remember, that both Cain and Able (then Seth after Abel's murder) had the same mothers, and since their mother (Eve) was taken directly from the physical body of Adam, they both, the Kenites and the Adamites (Adam's sons) look almost identical—save for the mark placed upon Cain—of which we are not informed in Scripture of the nature.  All guesses are just that, guesses.  Who among us is ready to stand up and declare that we know perfectly what the Mark of Cain was?  I'm not so foolish as to hazard a guess delivered as a certainty.

    Regarding true-Israel in the endtimes: even many of the martyrs shall be true Israel.  These are identified by race and tribe in Revelation chapter seven where there are 144,000, 12,000 of each tribe of true-Israel.  I call them martyrs because later in the book of Revelation we see these 144,000 in Heaven BEFORE the Second Advent of Jesus Christ and the end of this world as we now know it.  And since there isn't any imaginary Rapture, these true-Israel children are killed during the Tribulation shortly after God sealed them in Revelation seven.

Rev 7:1-4
7 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.  KJV

Rev 14:1-4
14 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb [has the definite article in the Greek = THE Lamb, Jesus Christ] stood on the mount Sion [Heavenly Zion (Rev 21), for Earthy Zion is still defiled bu antichrist from Rev 13], and with him [documenting that this is Heaven, for at this time Christ is still in Heaven (until the Second Advent of Rev 19)] an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth ["redeemed (martyred) FROM the Earth" (to Heaven)].
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. KJV

Miscellaneous:

    Not all Christians by faith (verse 2 above "many waters' [many peoples]), nor all of true-Israel by blood (verse 3 [144,000]), shall be martyred; but some shall, according to Scripture.

    Gentiles, as adopted by faith children of the Kingdom with full rights and honors, shall work for God in the Tribulation as well, and some shall, like Israel by blood, be martyred.

    Gentiles are equal to natural born children of the Kingdom though (and only through) Jesus Christ, the Savior of all whom believe upon Him, regardless of race, tribe, or other distinction

    Now, believe it or not, we at WBSG have many Gentiles (Black, Hispanic, Indian and other races of people) that read here.  And though I don't know how they come up with those numbers, I was surprised at the numbers regarding the racial make-up of WBSG readers, because I am not bashful to speak candidly on hard racial matters, and I never shall "bite my tongue" to appease the overly-sensitive who like to be coddled and lied to.  they have their endtime churches for that).  And we also have many "Identity" people (those believing that true-Israel survived and can be identified today in a specific (peculiar) people (the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian and kindred peoples).  But the below Scripture is absolutely necessary for both of those groups of good Christians, for it explains the perfect fairness of God, and it silences "Christian Racism," and it picks up the hearts of Gentile Christians who sometimes can feel left out in the "Identity" ("British Israelism," "Lost tribes of Israel") teaching. 

    Therefore, for all concerned on my stance: I stand on the below Scripture; disprove it and I will follow your beliefs, but if you cannot gainsay against it then you must likewise admit with God that He did in fact bring the Gentiles into the Kingdom of God through Jesus Christ.  And if God brought then it, then let no man shut the door to them.  But I do not speak in favor of miscegenation (race-mixing), for I know that God created the separate races to be different, and He didn't appoint man to make one race of many, eliminating the diversity that He Himself for His own good purposes built into His children.  But rather, I speak of eternal salvation, a plan, or plans, that God had formulated from day-one for all His separate tribes and races of children.

Galatians chapter three, complete:

1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith [in Christ], the same are [accounted as] the children of Abraham.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen [the Gentiles] through faith [in Christ], preached before [prophsied] the gospel [of Christ] unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations [Gentiles] be blessed.
9 So then they which be of faith [in Christ] are blessed [along] with faithful Abraham [and by extension, the Old Testament saved ones after Abraham].
10 For as many as are of the works of the law [Old Testament Law—Israel] are under the curse [are liable to the punishments also contained in that Law of salvation]: for it is written [to the Old Testament people of God], Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God [no man can live perfectly up to God's Old Testament Law, we all are too imperfect], it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith [in Christ].
12 And the law is not of faith [but rather of works (deeds)]: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them [if any man can keep the whole law then he will be blessed according to his works—but, I hasten to add, no man can, for "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Rom 3:23). Thus Jesus Christ is necessary for the salvation of every man everywhere].
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law [Christ died our sin-debt death (the curse of the law) for us, releasing us from an impossible-(for man)-to-keep law], being made a curse for us [being the sacrificial Lamb for our sins]: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree [the cross was made from a tree (wood), and it was the final end for the guilty]:
14 That [Jesus did this so that] the blessing of Abraham [eternal life] might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the [Holy] Spirit through faith [in Christ, aside from the law delivered unto Israel].
15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men [flesh]; Though it be but a man's [flesh by works] covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, ["]And to seeds,["] as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
17 And this I say, that the covenant [the Old Testament law of salvation by works], that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law [Old Testament Law for salvation by the law], which was four hundred and thirty years after [the sojourn in Egyptian captivity till the laws on Mt. Sinai], cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
18 For if the inheritance be of the law [Old Testament], it is no more of promise: but [however] God gave it to Abraham by promise.
19 Wherefore then serveth the law? [why did God give the law if He intended to provide another way to salvation?] It was added because of transgressions [sin], till [until] the seed [Christ, see verse 16] should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
21 Is the law [Old Testament] then against the promises of God [New Testament]? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should [would] have [then] been by the law.
22 But [however] the scripture hath concluded all under sin ["For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Rom 3:23)], that [so that; for this cause] the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
23 But before faith came [before Jesus Christ was offered], we were kept under [saved by, obliged to] the law, shut up unto [waiting until] the faith which should afterwards be revealed [in Christ].
24 Wherefore [so that; the reason is that] the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith [in Christ].
25 But after that faith [in Christ (New Testament)] is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster [the Old Testament laws for salvation].
26 For ye are [now since Christ's time] all the children of God by [through] faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ  [i.e., become Christians] have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. [All can be saved through Christ, both gentiles and Israel]
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and [thereby] heirs [of eternal life] according to the promise [Christ, see verses 16-19].  KJV

Miscellaneous continued:

    Martyrdom for Christ is an honor, not a punishment; for, those so martyred are blessed after the Second Advent:

Rev 20:1-6
20 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
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.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.  KJV

    No one shall be martyred for Christ during the Tribulation who does not want to.  It is their offering to God for the service of the Kingdom, thus necessary must be of free will.  When faced with the end of the world, and knowing what happens to those who deny Christ, all true Christians shall be willing to give God their flesh lives to preserve their eternal souls lives (whether He require it from them is in His providence).  Hence the cipher spoken of by Christ:

Matt 16:25
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.  KJV

Luke 9:24
24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.  KJV

    And understanding the above two parallel Scriptures will go a long way to aid in the understanding the below Scripture which speaks of Tribulation service by the faithful servants of God:

Luke 17:30-37
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed [the Second Advent].
31 In that day [the Second Advent], he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32 Remember Lot's wife.
33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
34 I tell you, in that night [before "that day", i.e., sometime before the Second Advent; i.e., sometime during the Tribulation] there shall be two men in one bed [this is not referring to homosexuality—back then all slept in a common bed in their one-room abode]; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35 Two women shall be grinding [grain and corn] together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37 And they answered and said unto him, Where [will the first ones who were taken be taken to], Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body [corpse, carcass] is, thither will the eagles [vultures] be gathered together [to death (spiritual) to worship/serve antichrist/satan in the Tribulation].  KJV

body:  Greek word #4983  soma (so'-mah); from NT:4982; the body (as a sound whole), used in a very wide application, literally or figuratively:  KJV - bodily, body, slave.
[But see Bullinger's footnotes on this word in this verse at above right for 'body"]

eagles:  Greek word #105  aetos (ah-et-os'); from the same as NT:109; an eagle (from its wind-like flight): KJV - eagle. [But see Bullinger's footnotes at above right for "eagle." (no Greek word in the New Testament for "vulture," all large birds called "eagles."]

Miscellaneous continued:

    The main body of true Christians shall be taken some place on this Earth by God's angels and protected during the Tribulation, both parts of the Tribulation.

Divine protection from God of the endtime faithful during the first part of the Tribulation (42 months—not shortened from Daniel the prophet's "in the midst of the week" time [see Rev 11: 2-3 & 13:4-5]):

Rev 12:6
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days [1260 days = 42 months (prophetic months are 30 days each)].  KJV

Protected from:

Rev 11:2-3
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days [1260 days = 42 months (prophetic months are 30 days each)], clothed in sackcloth.  KJV

Rev 13:4-5
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, 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.  KJV

Divine protection from God of the endtime faithful during the second part of the Tribulation (circa 5 months—shortened from Daniel the prophet's "in the midst of the week" time [see Rev 9: 5-11]):

Rev 12:14
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.  KJV

Protected from:

Rev 9:4-11
4 And it was commanded them that they [satan/antichrist's locust army—fallen angels] should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
11 And they had a king [satan as the antichrist] over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit [confirm identity in Rev 11:7; 13:11 'out of the earth'); 20:1-2, 7, Isa 14:15], whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon . KJV

Abaddon:  Greek word #3 Abaddon (ab-ad-dohn'); of Hebrew origin [OT:11]; a destroying angel:  KJV - Abaddon.

Hebrew word #11  'abaddown (ab-ad-done'); intensive from OT:6; abstract, a perishing; concrete, Hades:  KJV - destruction.

Apollyon: Greek word #623  Apolluon (ap-ol-loo'-ohn); active participle of NT:622; a destroyer (i.e. Satan):  KJV - Apollyon.

    So, instead of fearing persecution and troubles in the Tribulation, pray rather that God uses you during that time, understanding of course that this service entails risk. 

    You might be surprised how many Christians, both men and women, when faced with the choice, would choose to be used in the battle even though it means possible death, rather than to sit it out on the sidelines in the wilderness being protected by angels (as those described in the Scriptures above).  I'd rather fight and hazard death than to sit on the sidelines watching God's valiant heroes do God's good battle in the Tribulation.  What else are we born for in this final generation?  I trust that when God calls, He shall have them lining up to volunteer for service; for, we have the ultimate victory because we work for God.  Do not even today many young men join the army in a time of war knowing full well the hazard?  How much more so when God calls His servants?

    But don't volunteer lightly; for, of course, there is that old saying: "Be careful what you pray for, for you just might get it."  So be it.

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

Hello, you asked:

"What possible hope would he have of making it to heaven.  If what you say is true it could cause a lot of people to just to throw up their hands and say what is the use I’m from the wrong seed line?"

    We are not judged according to the flesh, we are judged according to the spirit.  In other words, we are not judged for what we are born, or of whom we are born; we are judged based upon our own actions and decisions.  Observe:

    And again:

Jer 31:29-30
29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.
30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.  KJV

    New Testament confirmation:

2 Cor 5:10
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.  KJV

And again:

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

    Even a pure Kenite—a son of satan through Cain—can be saved by faith in Jesus Christ, should he believe upon Him.

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

Hello.  No, not at all.  The Zodiac has no meaning to God, it is occult.  You are fine.  And many Christians do not realize that when they flip open the daily newspaper to read their Horoscope that they are dabbling in entry-level occult.  Those who have "Readings" (Tea Leaf, Hand, etc.) and especially Tarot Card readings from seers are moving into mid-level occult, as the reader is herself communicating into the forbidden spiritual realm, thus touching you with unclean spirits.  And Ouija Boards and Séances are direct communication with evil spirits.  These things all, most especially the Ouija Board and Séances, are expressly forbade by God under the witchcraft and "familiar spirits" (evil spirits) admonitions.

    If the reader has had a Reading such as mentioned above, and then their life took a downturn, the reason is that the evil spirits that you took with you from it. 

    Nevertheless, a Christian (and only a Christian) may simply order any evil spirits away from them IN JESUS CHRIST'S NAME (You must [!!!] invoke the name of the Lord Jesus Christ or you will be jumped-on by even more evil spirits).  This is because only Jesus' name has power over evil spirits, we alone do not; and if you try it without using Jesus' name then you are one-on-one with a demon--guess who's stronger?  Yep, the demon will splatter your life.  Below shows what some unbelieving Jews tried to do; they used Jesus' name, but they did not believe upon Him; therefore, Jesus didn't back them up, and the evil spirit had the mastery over them:

    If you have Anointing Oil (or pure, set-aside, Olive Oil), then Anoint yourself on the forehead in the name of Jesus Christ when you do the preceding.  And you will be cleansed. 

    Needless to say, the Judaic-controlled media programs featuring "friendly witches" and subtle occult themes (and not-so occult themes like Harry Potter) are satan's method of drawing-in unsuspecting people.  The media-Judaics do so much of satan's work for him by brainwashing your children as they sit in front of "the baby-sitting machine" (TV)!  Contrary to Prime Time television's indoctrination, there is no such thing as a good witch, and that is why God was quite harsh with them:

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.
