Jehovah's Witnesses
A reader writes:
Hi, My name is [Xxxxxx]. I was one of Jehovah's Witnesses for 25 yrs. The suicide of my 18 yr. old brother-in law, due to his being disfellowshipped, frankly, broke the camels back. I had a longing to know who Jesus really is and due to my acquiring some info from another denomination I was disfellowshipped. Anyway... I came upon your web sight by accident. I find the thoughts on Satan and Eve fascinating! The question that comes to mind about Satan being the tree of good and evil is confusing because Jehovah said they could eat from all the other trees in the garden but that one. So that statement seems to emphasize that the tree of good and evil is an actual fruit bearing tree. What are your thoughts?
Xxxxxxxx
Answer:
Hello Xxxxxx. I am so sorry that you were treated like you and your brother-in-law were. You were in a cult. And the Jehovah's Witnesses were spiritually abusing you.
Their religion is a lie, which is why they don't like anyone looking into it. You are so blessed to be out of it. My prayer is that our Heavenly Father blesses your brother-in-law's soul because he was simply misled by evil men pretending to work for God (the Jehovah's Witnesses). God knows and understands all. I know that the Witnesses will say that your brother is in Hell, but they (the leaders and teachers) are the ones who might well end up there (though I don't judge them).
Here is a search box which should point out some of the obvious Jehovah's Witnesses errors. Click here for search results for "Jehovah's Witnesses false doctrine". Unfortunately, not all these sites themselves know the true interpretation of the Scriptures, but they do see the falseness of the Jehovah's Witnesses interpretations. Therefore, I cannot say that all of the teachings of these sites that expose Jehovah's Witnesses teachings are 100% in their own doctrine. (So it is in these last days―the truth is oftentimes hard to find for the sheer volume of errors out there.)
You can be assured that you have the right interpretation if it aligns with the Bible in other places where the teaching/doctrine is mentioned. You can't just take one verse out of context and make a whole doctrine on it. That is why the Bible is redundant―it says the same thing over and over again. This is for us, so that we could know true doctrine from error. You can always find second or third witnesses in the Bible for all things important to salvation and sound doctrine:
2 Corinthians 13:1
13:1 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. KJV
You have truly been blessed that God has reached down and saved you from that corrupt denomination. But now you must learn sound doctrine, you can't just drop the Bible all together. Satan will always try to deceive us with false doctrine and false denominations. The way that learn sound doctrine is to study God's Word, the Bible.
Also, be careful on the Internet, there is both good and bad there. Always check out any teaching or doctrine by trying to find it in the Bible. If someone teaches you something that you can't find in your good old King James Bible―then they are teaching their own words, not God's words.
If you have ANY specific question on a specific teaching of the Jehovah's Witnesses, then send me what they teach on it and I will reply with a Bible address to that doctrine, including Scripture verses for you to double-check. But even a corrupt denomination is right on some things. The problem is that they are wrong on so many other big things. To this I use the analogy "even a broken clock is correct twice in every day."
As to why I only recommend the King James Bible version, see our: Adulterations in the Newer Bible Versions (NIV, NASB...); Proof that the King James Bible (KJV) is the True Word of God. It should be noted that the Jehovah's Witnesses made their own corrupt new Age Bible version called the New World Translation. That Bible version is very corrupted. Just one example would be here:
"Heb. 1:8 - This is a verse where God the Father is calling Jesus God: "But about the Son he says, ‘Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.'" Since the Jehovah's Witnesses don't agree with that they have changed the Bible, yet again, to agree with their theology. They have translated the verse as "...God is your throne..." The problem with the Jehovah's Witness translation is that this verse is a quote from Psalm 45:6 which, from the Hebrew, can only be translated as "...Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom." To justify their New Testament translation they actually changed the OT verse to agree with their theology, too!" --
Christian Apologetics & Research Ministry
The trusted and true King James Scripture:
Hebrews 1:1-9
1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. KJV
Quoting from:
Psalms 45:6-7
6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. KJV
In closing; you asked:
"...The question that comes to mind about Satan being the tree of good and evil is confusing because Jehovah said they could eat from all the other trees in the garden but that one. So that statement seems to emphasize that the tree of good and evil is an actual fruit bearing tree. What are your thoughts? "
We have a Bible study that covers this very matter, see our: Who were the OTHER TREES in the Garden of Eden , that Adam & Eve could PARTAKE of?.
See also, our:
-
Just what exactly was the "forbidden fruit" of the Garden of Eden?
-
Eve; semantics: did she eat from the wrong fruit tree, or partake of the forbidden thing?
Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

The beast starts cutting its teeth―The U.S. "Office Of Global Anti-Semitism" comes on-line quietly
A reader sent us the below article. We have been following this development for over a year now, and I feel that now is a good time to visit it. We have no affiliation with the below Website (whether they be good or bad, I don't know), but are merely posting their article here so that people don't think that WBSG is the only ones noticing and writing of this stuff. Call it a second witness, if you will. We comment briefly after the article.
Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

Office Of Global Anti-Semitism
By Rev. Ted Pike
6-15-6
Source
Vowing to combat global anti-Semitism by every means at his disposal, veteran Jewish activist Gregg Rickman was recently sworn in by Condoleezza Rice as head of the State Department's office of global anti-Semitism. Jewish activists view Rickman's appointment as a victory against a U.S. State Department which had protested establishment of yet another Jewish special interest agency. Several years ago the State Department claimed it already adequately monitored global human rights abuses and promoted Holocaust remembrance. Yet Jewish lobbyists persuaded Congress 18 months ago to create a special federal agency dedicated solely to silencing "virulent criticism" of Israel and matters Jewish or questioning the six million figure of alleged Holocaust victims. UNITING SYNAGOGUE WITH STATE DEPARTMENT Rickman's appointment, as a veteran protagonist of all things Jewish, makes it clear that the office of global anti-Semitism will not be bipartisan. Rather, as I have warned since its inception, it is merely a front for ADL/B'nai B'rith's anti-Christian hate laws agenda -- a foundation upon which to federalize and internationalize persecution of Christians. Are you still unfamiliar with this new thought crimes bureaucracy in our midst? Are you aware of its many perverse definitions of anti-Semitism? Here is the article I published last summer on this subject. It answers many questions yet poses many more concerning the "Office to Monitor and Control Anti-Semitism," mandated as H.R. 4230 by Congress. THE REAL MOTIVE BEHIND THE
"DEPARTMENT OF GLOBAL ANTI-SEMITISM"
By Rev. Ted PikeOn October 16, 2004 President Bush signed into law the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act. It establishes a special department within the U.S. State Department to monitor global anti-Semitism, reporting annually to Congress. This is more "Hate Crimes" legislation, orchestrated by the international Jewish religious, educational, and fraternal organization, B'nai B'rith, and its Anti-Defamation League. The new "Department of Global Anti-Semitism" is designed to make critics of Israel not only into "anti-Semites" but ultimately into "domestic terrorists." But first, what is anti-Semitism? Simple: It is the racist belief that Jews, because of heredity, are evil, greedy, corrupting, subversive, degenerate, etc. Hitler believed this. So do the KKK and certain "Christian identity" and white supremacist groups. Such dehumanization of Jews is evil, un-Christian, un-American. On the other hand, if the actions of individual Jews, Jewish institutions, Jewish religious or secular leaders, or the nation Israel have been evil, then vehement criticism is not anti-Semitic. It is courageous and laudable. Certainly, the Biblical prophets, including Christ, engaged in vitriolic criticism of the sinful nation Israel and its false leaders. No one considers them anti-Semitic. TWISTED DEFINITIONS OF "ANTI-SEMITISM" However, in its "Report on Global Anti-Semitism" and "Global Anti-Semitism Report," the U.S. State Department ignores the above perspectives. Here is a list of beliefs or activities the U.S. government now considers anti-Semitic: 1 Any assertion "that the Jewish community controls government, the media, international business and the financial world" is anti-Semitic.
2 "Strong anti-Israel sentiment" is anti-Semitic.
3 "Virulent criticism" of Israel's leaders, past or present, is anti-Semitic. According to the State Department, anti-Semitism occurs when a swastika is portrayed in a cartoon decrying the behavior of a past or present Zionist leader. Thus, a cartoon that includes a swastika to criticize Ariel Sharon's brutal 2002 invasion of the West Bank, raining "hell-fire" missiles on hapless Palestinian men, women and children, is anti-Semitic. Similarly, when the word "Zionazi" is used to describe Sharon's saturation bombing in Lebanon in 1982 (killing 17,500 innocent refugees), it is also "anti-Semitic."
4 Criticism of the Jewish religion or its religious leaders or literature (especially the Talmud and Kabbalah) is anti-Semitic.
5 Criticism of the U.S. government and Congress for being under undue influence by the Jewish-Zionist community (including AIPAC) is anti-Semitic.
6 Criticism of the Jewish-Zionist community for promoting globalism (the "New World Order") is anti-Semitic.
7 Blaming Jewish leaders and their followers for inciting the Roman crucifixion of Christ is anti-Semitic.
8 Diminishing the "six million" figure of Holocaust victims is anti-Semitic.
9 Calling Israel a "racist" state is anti-Semitic.
10 Asserting that there exists a "Zionist Conspiracy" is anti-Semitic.
11 Claiming that Jews and their leaders created the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia is anti-Semitic.
12 Making "derogatory statements about Jewish persons" is anti-Semitic.
13 Saying Jews cannot re-inhabit Palestine as a nation, except in obedience to God, is anti-Semitic.
14 Alleging that Mossad was behind the 9/11 attack is anti-Semitic. ANTI-SEMITISM IS A "HATE CRIME" In the Global Anti-Semitism Report, State Department spokespersons Ambassador Edward O'Donnell and the head of the office of global anti-Semitism, Ambassador Michael B. Kozak, defend the State Department's definitions. O'Donnell's statement that he wants to "end all anti-Semitism and other hate crimes" reveals that he considers anti-Semitism a hate crime. Presumably, he would like such a "crime" to be punished. These State Department reports repeatedly equate "strong, anti-Israel sentiment" and criticism of matters Jewish with "hate." They give no recognition to the possibility that such criticism might be sincerely motivated not by hate but by moral indignation or even love for the Jewish people. The Report on Global Anti-Semitism repeatedly calls for passage, both nationally and internationally, of "hate crime" legislation. These laws, the brainchild of B'nai B'rith/ADL, also have as their ultimate goal making it a "hate crime" to criticize Jews, matters Jewish, or the state of Israel. The Report on Global Anti-Semitism reeks with B'nai B'rith/ADL logic, phraseology, and evidence of their incredible worldwide organizational and statistic-gathering capacities. It contains thirty-three pages of minute documentation of "anti-Semitic incidents" in fifty-eight countries of the world, documentation which only B'nai B'rith/ADL, with its offices in more than fifty countries, could compile or even be that vitally interested in. Without a doubt, as with hate laws, this Global Anti-Semitism Review Act is their creation. CRITICISM-FREE ZONE FOR JEWS Thus, the Department of Anti-Semitism, applauded and advised by B'nai B'rith/ADL, is working to create a worldwide "criticism-free zone" for Jews in the "New World Order" that is coming. This report ignores whether criticisms of matters Jewish are true. What must be defended are the sensitivities of the Jewish people! Consequently, relating such unflattering realities as the anti-Christian, anti-Gentile contents of the Talmud and Kabbalah, Jewish origins of bolshevism, Jewish dominance of Hollywood and the media, Jewish control of Congress through AIPAC, Zionist atrocities and abrasiveness in the Middle East is anti-Semitic. It is "hate." It does not matter that such facts can be easily and extensively documented, often from impeccable Jewish sources such as the Encyclopedia Judaica. All such anti-Semitism, this report says, is a "scourge," an "intolerable burden," which "for an increasingly interdependent worldmust be ended." On the other hand, according to the U.S. State Department, there does exist some possibility that "objective criticism" of Israel and its leaders can be tolerated - that is, just as long as such criticism does not "cross the line" and become "strong anti-Israel sentiment" and "virulent." Such criticism should not "demonize" Jews, Jewish religious or political leaders, or the state of Israel. However, what may be considered "virulence" or "demonization" by Zionists may be seen as nothing more than salty truth-telling by critics of Israel. Hypocritically, the State Department itself is not above "demonizing" strong critics of Israel in the most "virulent" terms as a "plague" and "scourge" on mankind! TURNING "ANTI-SEMITISM" INTO "DOMESTIC TERRORISM" The State Department's twisted definition of anti-Semitism provides exponential opportunities to persecute Bible-believing Christians, anti-war activists, Moslems, as well as publishers and broadcasters in the years ahead. In fact, by turning "strong" criticism of the American/Zionist coalition into "anti-Semitism and other hate crimes," the State Department opens the door to eventual characterization of those who criticize Israel as not only anti-Semites but also as "domestic terrorists." Here's how it can be done: Today, those who raise funds in America to support America's and Israel's terrorist enemies are arrested as "domestic terrorists." But what if articulate Americans provided something else, potentially even more valuable to Israel's enemies: "strong criticism" of Israel? Such could weaken Israel morally in the sight of the world, giving justification to the claims of her terrorist enemies. Should they also be punished? As the Second World War was beginning in 1939, Charles Lindberg was publicly critical of international Jews for inveigling America into a war to destroy Hitler. Lindberg believed that Hitler should be allowed to do what he wanted to do most, move east and destroy "Jewish Communism" in Russia. In 1944, 30 Americans, who agreed with Lindberg, were arrested for the crime of "sedition," weakening America's resolve in the fight against fascism. Later investigation under the Freedom of Information Act revealed that the ADL, attempting to equate criticism of international Jews with Nazism, had entirely created the FBI case. Records revealed that the ADL was "only warming up" by pursuing sedition convictions against 30 innocent Americans. Their ultimate ambition was to imprison prominent critics of evil Jewish leadership, especially Charles Lindberg. Fortunately, ADL's attempt to transform 30 critics of international Jews into "Nazis" failed when the judge died and the case was dissolved. Today, America and Israel are allies in the "war on terror." Tomorrow, especially if the war on terror intensifies and America and Israel cooperate even more closely, criticism of America's ally in the war on terrorism may be construed as "aiding and abetting the enemy." Such "strong criticism" or anti-Semitism may be seen as not only weakening Israel, but America itself. Turning millions of Americans into anti-Semites for criticizing Israel is thus a transition toward ADL's ultimate goal: making such persons "enemies of the war on terror," i.e., "domestic terrorists." They then can be prosecuted under Homeland Security laws. CANADA: ALREADY MAKING "ANTI-SEMITES" INTO "DOMESTIC TERRORISTS" In Canada, we are seeing exactly this happen. Ernst Zundel is a Holocaust revisionist who doubts that a full six million Jews were deliberately murdered by the Nazis, largely by gassing. He asserts that untold numbers of Jews in German internment camps, especially in the last years of the war, died not in gas chambers, but as a result of massive, well-documented typhus epidemics, which also killed countless Poles, Gypsies, Russians, etc. Yet in Canada, thanks to ADL/B'nai B'rith, it is a "hate crime" to lesson to any degree the six million figure of Holocaust dead, or that most of them died in gas chambers. Such diminishment is anti-Semitism, a "hate crime" punishable by harsh fines and imprisonment. Several years ago Zundel was deported from his home in Tennessee back to Canada to spend more than two years in solitary confinement in a Canadian prison. He was then deported back to his native Germany where he remains in prison. Under what charge have Canadian authorities been holding him? You guessed it. He is a "terrorist threat!" So it will be for millions of Americans tomorrow if ADL/B'nai B'rith have their way and the Department of Anti-Semitism's twisted definitions of anti-Semitism are allowed to stand. The Department of Global Anti-Semitism is informing the world who the "domestic terrorists" of tomorrow will be. They are you and I.

Our (WBSG's) comments to the reader who sent in the article are as follows:
Hi, thank you very much for the link. Amazing, isn't it? But yet Christians can't see what's coming! "AntiSemitism Laws" aren't about AntiSemitism, they are about silencing critics, suppressing enlightening exposé, and vilifying those who warn the Christians of what's being planned against them. And, anyway; how can they cry "AntiSemitism" when they control the whole darn world!?!?!?!
So many (most!) of them―our brethren in the faith, mind you―are too busy trying to not look like so-called AntiSemites to see the writing on the wall. They bend over backwards, ignore every evidence and witness―just to be the kind of Christians that the International Judaics have trained them to be.
I wonder, will they like my book? Or, will it be just too much for them?
I received an unsubscribe notice after our latest mailing (of June 14, 2006), which simply said:
"Subject: overloaded ,sorry - remove me"
What does that mean? And what does it say about him/her? I mean, I can see leaving a mailing list because you find it offensive, or because you find it to be false teaching or something like that; but, leaving it because the (documented) information is "too overwhelming" for you?!?!
I really fear greatly for our people, the Christians. It sure seems like they are wholly unprepared for what is coming. And many, it seems, think that adopting the burying their heads in the sand approach is going to stay the inevitable. I myself would rather know what's coming, and be mentally prepared for it, so that I may be of some use to God during that time―Instead of running around to and fro madly trying to figure out how the bottom dropped out from underneath me whilst I slept. Many at that time will blame God: "Why didn't He warn us." No comment necessary.
When the Tribulation hits, all manner of communication shall be cut off. You will have to go on what you already at that time know. The only information that will be coming out after the commencement of the Tribulation shall be the controlled broadcasts of the beast. Learn all that you can now, Christians. Only one thing is more important than that―your faith, prayers, and trust to and in the Lord. Everything else is incidental, and quite out of your control.
We don't learn what's coming, to stop it―for, we cannot stop it; God wrote it into prophecy, it must come to pass―but we learn what's coming so that we can do our best for our God, our families, and ourselves during that time. We have 42 months of the first part of the Tribulation, and then (at least) 5 months of the second part of the Tribulation to deal with.
Imagine how useless the Rapturists, for instance, shall be when the world goes to Hell in a hand basket and they notice that they haven't been removed. Or how the Catholics shall respond, or the mainline Protestant branches as well. They are taught NOTHING of this time which the Bible calls the Great Tribulation and which our Lord Jesus Christ Himself warned us: "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be." (Mat 24:21).
But the Catholics reject it, the Protestants ignore it, and the Rapturists imagine vain schemes to escape it. Not exactly fertile ground for God to find trustworthy and able workers.
Excellent Watchmen work in sharing the article here with us! Thank you.
Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

The Gnostics and the Da Vinci Code hoax; Survivalism/Preparation; the Tribulation; the state of our upcoming book; etc.
A reader (an author on survivalist matters) writes:
...I have studied extensively on survival off
the grid and issues pertaining to it, with the acute
knowledge that practical, real term survival, has
nothing to do with fighting for a parking space to get
one's next cappuccino. I keep an eye on RFID technology
[Radio Frequency Identification Devise ("chips")]
developments and law enforcement developments……in physical terms of preparation ...contingency plans for
food, fuel, shelter, clothing/footwear/storage/concealment/
camouflage, lighting/heating/refrigeration, first aid,
medical and survival related supplies, water
supply/filtration/purification, toiletries, sanitation, insect
repellant mobilization/transportation, "secret
gardening" inclusive of non genetically modified seeds.
construction/tools/supplies, hunting, fishing, discreet
cooking/baking (no "smoke signals") quiet trained dogs.
firearms/ammunition, crossbows ("silent hunting")
surveillance (night vision quite possibly helpful here
too) maps/navigation, communications, self defense, caring
for the young, the elderly, the sick and infirm ( only
and realistically where it's possible without
hospitalization or a doctor's care, of course there is
always prayer for healing and God's guidance for
wisdom pertaining to any and all situations); with the
possible exception of radar (considering it's
availability and/or usefulness), toys/games/books for
the kids and/or the adults, I believe, barring some
Jack Daniels and/or cigarettes, I have it
covered....Whew! that's just shooting from the hip and memory,
and I do have a defined and orderly list that's just not on
hand at this second, but that is the gist of the
list.This is the important part, the part that is of
far more importance than any of the above, that is to
be born again, having Jesus Christ as your Lord and
Saviour, believing that he came as the Son of God, dying
for us for the remission of our sins and being raised
the third day to be seated at the right hand of God,
and shall return as our Lord and Saviour, as King of
kings and Lord of lords. That is what I say is the
criteria for anyone who is interested in this
as a young Christian. I also tell them that the bible
and God's Word in it is THE survival manual and
without God-his Son, and his word, there is no survival
of the second death, and only with his blessing will
any physical preparation work, should he will that to
be for us. For those of us who have been in the Lord
for longer and are more familiar with his voice and
guidance I trust he will guide some to leave the
cities as in isaiah-5:8,13 or to stay, should he will
some to do....Xxxxxxxxx
And again, he writes:
NICK:
I forgot to ask you how your book is coming along,
and any ETA [estimated time of arrival]? I'm polishing off my
work on survival - no working title as yet, but you will
be among the few and first who will get it- at this time.
I will keep you posted.

About my upcoming book (The Coming Storm Called the Great Tribulation©)
The book is coming along slowly. The problem for me is TIME. I need a good six months alone with it to make it as good as I know that it must be―to be accepted, that is. I endeavor to write hard things to average people who have been conditioned (programmed/brainwashed) to pre-reject them; and remarkable things to unwittingly skeptical-minded people. Everything in nature likes stasis, including our own thought-system.

stEverything likes to stay the same (stasis), fat people lose weight only to regain it; thin men pump iron to gain body mass, only to lose it when they cease; the Earth wobbles after a tsunami, only to regain balance; and water always seeks its own level no matter how much you pour in on one side. Stasis. You can train something out of one generation, but it comes back the next generation―dogs chase cats, cats paw at the fishbowl. Everything has highs and lows, but it always seems to move back towards the average. Nothing in nature likes change―least of all us humans―change in thought, change in idea, change in perception, change in reality, change in truth―all of these are anathema (greatly reviled, loathed, or shunned) to us by nature. Also call into this phenomenon that has beset our people: the Emperor's New Clothes type of thing―we just all know that it is because everybody else knows that it is. But the problem is, that it isn't, and It never was!
When at the first a lie is learned as truth, then the truth following it is determined to be the lie. We don't like change, and the truth be damned!
Today in our wicked generation we could all muse with Pilate: "What is truth?" (Jn 18:38a). Pontius Pilate wasn't asking Jesus what was the truth on any certain matter―he was asking if there was even any such animal as absolute truth. Well, there is, but it isn't pretty or easy, it is hard and ugly. And why not, this is satan's world (for now), isn't it?
John 18:36-38
36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all. KJV
The subject matter of my book is very difficult, and for the book to be accepted it must be of the highest caliber. If it is not accepted, then it is of no value―no matter how true it is. Oh, I know that many like-minded people will "get it," but if the average Joe and Jane Christian don't understand and accept it, then I will just be preaching to the choir. You don't feed them that come out of the restaurant, you want to feed those whose goings are in; and more than that―you want to get them to come in who aren't minded themselves to do so. That thing called stasis rears its ugly head again. True did our Lord muse: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6a). Knowledge and information is the enemy of stasis; for, when one learns, he upsets stasis―he changes. This is against his inner nature and he wars with this his whole life. How many times have you seen someone reject something simply because he/she did not want to believe it, no matter how well you proved it to them?
Hosea 4:6
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. KJV
Yes, this happened, it is past history in the Bible―Judah and Jerusalem did fall, so too did Israel and Samaria before her. Nevertheless, everything in the Bible always happens again:
Ecclesiastes 1:9-11
9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after. KJV

However, there is good wisdom & knowledge, and there is bad wisdom & knowledge. Careful discerning is necessary.
Gnosticism
Satan tempted Eve with the pursuit of hidden/forbidden wisdom and knowledge (Gnostism) and now, some six-thousand years later satan is using the same method to tempt Christians away from Christianity.
Genesis 3:1-5
3:1 Now the serpent [satan] was more subtil [cunning; see Def. below] than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman [Eve], Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
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. KJVsubtil: Hebrew word #6175 `aruwm (aw-room'); passive participle of OT:6191; cunning (usually in a bad sense): KJV - crafty, prudent, subtil.
This tempting of Christians away from Biblical Christianity is being seen today in the resurgence of the old late-1st/2nd century heresy called Gnosticism. The Jews developed the Gnostic systems and later tried to infiltrate them into the early Christian church (in the late first through the second centuries A.D.). The first Gnostics were Jews, from whence it spread into early Christianity before it was finally suppressed in the second century a.d.. This dangerous heresy (Gnostism in all its many forms), which is seen in all New Age teachings and even in the recent Lance Knight teachings and the "Tabernacle" & "Manifest Sons Of God" teachings et al, is no less a danger today to Christianity itself (!) than it was in the circa a.d. 100's.
Gnostism, suppressed but not dead
As we see, Gnostism never died, it just went dormant; its textbooks buried in caves and riverbanks awaiting the final generation where they could be dug up and unleashed upon Christianity once again, this time to her destruction. Attempts at this "resurrection" are seen today in the resurgence and false-validation of the old Gnostic "gospels" that have been dug from the sands of time (the Nag Hammadi texts―located in Egypt in 1945 in a riverbank cut; and the Dead Sea Scrolls―located in 1947 through 1956 in Israel (in the disputed West Bank territory) in the caves of Qumran on the Northwest shores of the Dead Sea).
They (the Gnostics) almost succeeded the first time, which would have scuttled the early church; however, the church fathers put down the heresy of Gnostism, often by killing the Gnostics themselves and destroying their evil books (but as we see, all were not destroyed; some were hid). And thus was the early fledgling church saved. But today, Gnostism is being revived to a generation of Christians that has no recollection of the ancient heresy, nor of its dire dangers to them.

Jewish Mysticism (occultism) embodied in the Jewish Cabala (Kabbalah) is the (evil) spirit behind Gnosticism |
|
The "Gospels" of Judas Iscariot, Mary Magdalene, Thomas, etc. ad nauseum (i.e., all the Gnostic so-called “gospels”) and the basis for the popular novel now movie, The Da Vinci Code, which are currently being thrust upon us by the Judaic-controlled media and Hollywood, all find their birth in the above evil system (Jewish Kabbalah). In The Overshadowing Power by Willie Martin, we see the below which speaks to the origins of Gnostism: “ …Some declare that the Cabala was only developed towards the end of the thirteenth century, but Adolphe Franck holds that, according to proofs which he gives, it must have originated during the seventy years of the Israelite Captivity in Babylon, and therefore owes much to the ancient religions of Chaldea and Persia. There, under civil and religious authority, the chiefs of the Captivity built the Synagogue of Babylon, which united with that of Palestine, and many religious schools were founded, in which finally the Talmud of Babylon was produced, the last and complete expression of Judaism. All chronologists, Jewish and Christian, agree that the first deliverance of Israel, captives in Chaldea from the time of Nebuchadnezzar, took place, led by Zorobabel, during the early years of Cyrus's reign over Babylon, about 536-530 B.C. Zoroaster had already commenced his religious mission, teaching the doctrine of dualism, Light and Darkness, Good and Evil, in 549 B.C., fourteen years before the first return of the captive Israelites to their own country, and no doubt they carried with them the imprint of this teaching. Apparently no other nation exercised such close influence over the Jews as Persia and the religious system of the Jew Zoroaster with its long traditions (Traditions of the Elders [which Christ spoke so often against] ). The Practical or Magical Cabala with its combinations and correspondences was the astrological, magical, and magnetic basis used by the Alchemists and Magicians of the Middle Ages in working their transmutations and conjurations. It was impregnated with the "fluidic magic" derived form very ancient cults, and still practiced at the time of the Captivity among the Persians and Chaldeans. Today, all Rosicrucians and cabalistic sects use this Magical Cabal for their works of divining clairvoyance, hypnotic and magnetic healing, making of talismans, and contacting their mysterious masters [evil spirits]. As the Jewish writer Bernard Lazare said: "Secret societies represented the two sides of the Jewish mind, practical rationalism and pantheism, that pantheism which, metaphysical reflection of the belief in ONE God, ENDED...IN CABALISTIC THEURGY." Albert Pike, in "Morals and Dogmas," tells us that, after the intermingling of different nations, which resulted from the wars of Alexander, the doctrines of Greece, Egypt, Persia, and India met and intermingled everywhere. Gnosis, he says, is the science of the mysteries handed down from generation to generation in esoteric traditions. "The Gnostics derived their leading doctrines and ideas from Plato and Philo [both Judaics], the Zend-avesta, the Kabalah, and the Sacred books of India and Egypt; and thus introduced into the bosom of Christianity the cosmological and theosophical speculations, which had formed the larger portion of the ancient religions of the Orient, joined to those of the Egyptian, Greek, and Jewish doctrines, which the Neo-Platonists had equally adopted in the Occident...It is admitted that the cradle of Gnosticism is probably to be looked for in Syria and even in Palestine. Most of its expounders wrote in that corrupted form of the Greek used by the Hellenistic Jews...and there was a striking analogy between their doctrines and those of the judeo-Egyptian Philo of Alexandria; itself the seat of three schools, at once philosophic and religious - the Greek, the Egyptian, and the Jewish. Pythagoras and Plato, the most mystical of the Grecian philosophers (the latter heir to the doctrines of the former), and who had travelled, the latter in Egypt, and the former in Phoenicia, India, and Persia, also taught the esoteric doctrine...The dominant doctrines of Platonism were found in Gnosticism. Emanation of Intelligences from the bosom of the Deity; the going astray in error and the sufferings of spirits, so long as they are remote from God, and imprisoned in matter; vain and long-continued efforts to arrive at the knowledge of the Truth, and re-enter into their primitive union with the Supreme Being; alliance of a pure and divine soul with an irrational soul, the seat of evil desires; angels or demons who dwell in and govern the planets, having but an imperfect knowledge of the ideas that presided at the creation; regeneration of all beings by their return to the, world of Intelligences, and its Chief the Supreme Being; sole possible mode of re-establishing that primitive harmony of the creation, of which the music of the spheres of Pythagoras was the image; these were the analogies of the two systems... ...The Jewish-Greek School of Alexandria is known only by two of its chiefs, Aristobulus and Philo, both Jews of Alexandria in Egypt. Belonging to Asia by its origin, to Egypt by its residence, to Greece by its language and studies, it strove to show that all truths embedded in the philosophies of other countries were transplanted thither from Palestine. Aristobulus declared that all the facts and details of the Jewish Scriptures were so many allegories concealing the most profound meanings, and that Plato had borrowed from them all his finest ideas. Philo, who lived a century after him, following the same theory, endeavored to show that the Hebrew writings, by their system of allegories, were the true source of all religions and philosophical doctrines. According to him, the literal meaning was for the vulgar alone....[1]” …The Italian Mason Reghellini de Scho, writing in 1833, says: "Alexandria [in Egypt, the birthplace of the supposed LXX (Septuagint)], newly built, was canonized by the Jews, who came in crowds to people the new town. The result was a mixture of men of different nations and religions, who gave rise to several philosophical and religious associations. Platonism was publicly taught by the Greeks in Alexandria, it was eagerly received by the Alexandrian Jews, who communicated it to the Jews of Judea and Palestine...In Egypt and Judea, before the commencement of Christianity the philosophy of Pythagoras and Plato (both Jews) had thrust deep roots among the Jews, which gave rise to the dogmas of the Essenes [the keepers of the Dead Sea Scrolls], Therapeuts, Sadducees, Carpocratians, Cabalistic-Gnostics, Basilideans, and Manichaeans; all these dogmasts adapted part of the doctrine of the Egyptian Magi and Priests to the above philosophy. They spread in time into Asia, Africa, and Europe. These different Jewish-Christians preserved the mysteries of the Temple of Solomon with the allegory of the Grand Architect, who was the Jewish Messiah, an idea still preserved by the Jew today."[2] As des Mousseaux notes, the Gnostics and Manichaeans preserved the cabala of this primitive Masonry, of which a branch has thrust deep roots among the Druses, and when the Crusaders inundated Asia, they infected the ancestors of our Freemasonry with it, the Templars, the Rose-Croix, and the organs of Western Occultism. According to the Jews, occultism is the knowledge and use of the dual sex or hidden creative for[c]es in all of Nature, and the Jewish Cabala, based on these same secret laws, is one of the most learned and powerful systems for gaining control over Nature and over the mind and actions of man, bringing into play and perverting these forces in order to attain power and dominion… ...“...Judeo-Masonry: This term can be used, making all reservations as to its correctness, to designate the organization composed of Cabalistic Jews and secret societies, considered no longer as isolated phenomena in time and space, but as a whole, having a common doctrine and discipline, a common aim and methods...The method employed ALWAYS CONSISTS OF PERVERSION OF THE TRADITIONS AND INSTITUTIONS OF CHRISTIANITY, conforming them to the beliefs and organizations inspired by occultism...THE DESTRUCTION OF THE FAMILY, COUNTRY, OF AUTHORITY, AND OF THE CHURCH is for occultism merely a means...The principle of the teaching minority is not only to keep the knowledge of the mysteries from the adept, but also to divide its teachings between twisting the mentality and perverting men in such a ways as to destroy all obstacles to the establishment of its rule over the world, and to establish its tyranny over a land freed from all Church institutions...The final aim is the enthronement of the so-called world king, placing universal authority, by means of subordinate dupes, into the hands of the Grand Masters - ALL JEWS; the subjection of all peoples to these men, by monopolizing social offices, the transformation of man into a domestic animal, the exploitation of the masses by the Jew, ONCE THE HEADS OF CHRISTIAN CONTROL HAVE BEEN SUPPRESSED. The present revolution is the actual end. It is the consummation, by a formidable convergence of efforts made everywhere and at the same time, of a permanent conspiracy, which failed, was taken up again, and pursued with a terrible tenacity, and with ever-increasing skill gained through long centuries of experience. Their aim, for ever inaccessible, would be the final domination of all peoples by the god-people, all esoteric religions having been but ethnological forms of the Cabala, transitory forms which vanquishing Judaism must get rid of...The sole force of Jewish cohesion lies in the submission of its scattered communities to the religious supremacy of a Patriarchate, whose social seat, constantly changed, remains unknown to the profane (non-Jews). The Jew looks upon himself as the sun of humanity, the male, opposed to which the other peoples are but the female, manifesting and assuring the coming of the Messianic era. In order to realize this sociological manifestation, the Jew organically extends his influence by means of secret societies, created by him in order to spread everywhere his initiating force...(hoping to realize) the 'Universal Republic' controlled by the god of Humanity, the Jew of the Cabala...The chief effort of these secret societies is to gather into their plans the religious traditions of all peoples. Theurgy: Theurgy has or its object the condensation in the theurgist of vital matter, by methods, in places and with aims, other than those possible through the limitations of organs. It results in the production of 'grand phenomena,' superhuman phenomena, that is beyond the powers of ordinary humanity. The realization of 'grand phenomena' assures the multiplication of adepts and the glorification of the initiates. Theurgy places the 'diviner' (seer) higher than humanity, in a state of liberation which approaches the 'divine.' ....”[3] It [Theurgy] is the force spoken of in the "Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion": "We put Freemasons to death...they all die when it is necessary, apparently from a natural death.”[4]

"Gnosis" means knowledge. Also of note is that satan (the serpent) is called "subtle" in verse one above (Gen 3:1). That word is from the Hebrew which also means "cunning." In the definition at above right we see that in the etymology of the word "gnosis" we have the word "cunning." We also witnessed the same thing in the Strong's definition of `aruwm (Heb. #6175)above, which I reproduce below, where the word "subtle" could well have been legitimately translated to "cunning" in Gen 3:1 "Now the serpent was more subtil [`aruwm] than any...". Thus, we can see that what satan had accomplished in the Garden of Eden with Eve, he is attempting to accomplish in our generation with us!
subtil: Hebrew word #6175 `aruwm (aw-room'); passive participle of OT:6191; cunning (usually in a bad sense): KJV - crafty, prudent, subtil.
We see many of the old Gnostic novels (technically categorized as Psuedopigrapha, not to be confused with Apocrypha) as resurfacing today and being mainlined, such as in the recent Judaic's media big-brouhaha over the "Gospel" of Judas Iscariot. In a beautifully choreographed event, this book was plastered all over front pages across America on the same weekend―so much for there not being a media conspiracy! And also we see these (Gnosticism) lies and heresies slickly and sexily repackaged in the most damaging bestseller The Da Vinci Code book, and the movie based upon it that was rushed into production by "Kosher Hollywood." These are not new heresies, they "hath been already of old time, which was before us." (Ecc 1:10b).
Captivity, body and mind
And now, as did our ancestors (true Israel, not the so-called "Jews," who are the impersonators, the strangers of Rev 2:9 & 3:9), so too shall many of us who are all grafted in by Jesus Christ (Christians) be taken captive (spiritually AND physically!):
Isaiah 5:13
13 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. KJV
Could not the above be written of any one of the scores of popular televangelist's and preachers today! Our Bible teachers and preachers ("honourable men") teach Politically Correct lies, and our Christian people ("multitude") haven't a clue as to what is poised to be set upon them. So that while the below did happen, it was fulfilled; it shall also happen again in like manner.
Isaiah 30:8-19
8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
17 One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.
18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee. KJV
The above, while indeed be prophecy fulfilled, was not all the way fulfilled at that time. For we see in verse 19 above that certain things are not yet all fulfilled. By this we can be assured that above was only fulfilled in type (simile, example), but that its complete fulfillment is to come in our generation. Below is the completion of the fulfillment of the above prophecy, which was only partially fulfilled in type by Jerusalem and Judah's fall in the sixth century B.C.:
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
As to the new captivity that is a coming? Yep, It's coming again; it shall be embodied in the beast people running the first beast-system, and their god―antichrist, satan―of the Tribulation. We, as a people (Christians now, no longer by-blood-Israel, but, by-faith-Christians ― Rom 8, Rom 9, Gal 4, Eph 1, and Gal 3:26-29 more explicitly) are going into captivity and destructions (collectively as a group, not necessarily individually), because we brought it upon ourselves; or rather, the stranger (beast) within our gates brought us to it:
Galatians 3:26-29
26 For ye [Christians (by faith, where once was Israel by blood; i.e., Old Covenant/New Covenant)] are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ 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.
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed [children], and heirs according to the promise. KJV
Isaiah 3:12-4:1
12 As for my [God's] people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
13 The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
14 The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the LORD GOD of hosts.
16 Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
17 Therefore the LORD will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.
18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,
19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
21 The rings, and nose jewels,
22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,
23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.
25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground. KJV
Moving on...
To be effective, my upcoming book (The Coming Storm Called the Great Tribulation) must be sound, complete, and carefully documented (I am so inadequate). That takes TIME. It is difficult going to work, living the daily life, writing a Website, working on some other projects―and then try to write this book. So I go along slowly, working off and on―until the opportunity breaks forth where I can sit down and complete it. That I place in God's hands, if He is in the project, it shall be completed, and be good. If He isn't, then I don't even want to do it to begin with. It certainly won't make me a popular fellow, not even among my own people (Christians); much less so among the heathen (Jews, Muslims, Hindus, ..., Atheists, and the non-Christian world generally). These later shall all join with the beast against God's Christian faithful. And also not a few of our deceived brethren in the faith shall war against us as well, thinking that they hunt out heretics!
Revelation 13:3-8
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.
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.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world [i.e., those who are not Christians]. KJVLuke 21:10-28
10 Then said he [Jesus] unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: [the great last wars, which were set into motion on 9/11/01]
11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers [diverse] places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
12 But before all these [the culmination of verse 10, and those things of verse 11 above], they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and [Christian] brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
19 In your patience possess ye your souls [your lives--psuche, Grk. #5590].
20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into [among] all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down [trampled upon] of the Gentiles [the non-Israel strangers (the so-called Jews) who are there even now], until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh [near (but is not yet)]. KJV
I've been at it (the book) since Dec 16, 2004 (also the day that I started eating clean); and I have the format done, the cover, table of contents, outline, and much of the bulk research and documentation―it is currently somewhere around 35%-40% completed, and I reserve implied copyright. It is at this point, basically, a big blob of information that needs to interwoven with commentary. Many of the recent things that I write of on the Website are the direct result of research for the book. Call those portions of the Website a testing ground for the book, so to speak. However, on the Website I always stop short of where I am going to be going in the book. So that the Website itself does not become the book. Those who read the book will see the best of the Website in it.
Survivalism
I am very interested in reading survival materials, as is a close Christian sister friend of mine. She has been led as you have―to provide for that fateful time. I know that she would just "eat up" anything written about survival stuff―especially if it was authored by a Christian, and written from a Christian perspective (so many "survivalist types" seem like weirdos).
Also, you may be interested to know that many (most?) people who write in to me asking about Tribulation preparations are females. Men don't seem to think ahead like that. So you might want to make your writings female-friendly, as they will certainly be among it's biggest readers. Men tend to think about food and provisions when they get hungry or cold―women think about tomorrow's needs today.
PS: If you had an article that covers the basics, or that would act as an introduction to the subject of survivalism, I would like to see it, and if I felt that it would be interesting to our readers, I would consider posting it, citing you (if you want) as the source author. Just a thought. But I really don't like posting other's work on my site, since I feel alone responsible for all content on WBSG Website. But I know nothing of survivalism to write my own, so I would consider posting another's work because our people (Christians everywhere) really need to know this subject. So much more so in our current generation.
I mean, we (most of us who live in the cities and large metropolitan areas) don't even know the basics of survivalism! If you dropped me off in the woods somewhere with a hunting knife and a Bic lighter―it would be all that I could do to stay alive for a week―much less set up a camp and live off the land for three/four years! Will that become necessary? God knows; but what's the hurt in preparing just in case?
See ya!
Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

Article "REVELATION OF THE METHOD AND THE MURDER OF SPIRIT", showing the inner workings of the Int. Judaics today
This isn't really a Q&A, but I often use these pages to disseminate information helpful to the endtime Christian. This is just such a case. Below, we supply a recent article by a Mr. Michael Hoffman (whose book Judaism's Strange Gods is definitely a must-have!). His article corroborates what we have been saying all along, and is therefore helpful to show the Christian the reality of their situation in these endtimes. Mr. Hoffman does not write from a Christian perspective, per se, but more from a secular standpoint; which all the more makes my case more proven by his seeming agreement with it. I am not saying that Mr. Hoffman is or is not a Christian―I don't know that―but just that he writes from a different perspective than do I.
Groundwork
In a recent Q&A I stated that we (The Christian Western Nations, specifically America) have been changed, changed from with. Mr. Hoffman's article gives a second witness to my assertion, though from a different angle. I refer to my below:
|
“...The method of overcoming the Christian faith Understanding the following will go a long way in understanding the seeming contradictions in today's world of Christian ministry (failing yet flourishing) and the 2000+ a.d. Christian faith generally: What "they" did was to first scourge Christianity, discredit it, shame it, marginalize it, vilified it; then, they removed what was left of it from schools, government, and parents and their children's minds. And while this plan was long in coming to fruition, it really began to bear lighting-speed and snowballing fruit with the 1960's me-first protest, get high, sexual-revolution generation, forward; for, it was in that decade that the International Judaics had finally liberated us from God, country, and conscience. It was then that the die was set, the clock wound, and the course inevitable. Then, this '60s generation of God-forsaking overthrown social and moral misfits bore children (those who escaped the 1973-forward Abortion chambers, anyway), this is my generation, I am 45 years old. Then that generation, two wits worse than their parents ever dreamt of being, bore children―and under the all-seeing watchful eye and ever-present guidance of the International Judaics, they had finally created a virtual pure generation of godless youth―stripped of love of God, Christ, country, or self―by which they could now move to phase two. They had their Talmudic Golem. Currently they are injecting a counterfeit brand of Christianity into these new young void-of-God minds. Hence; the birth of antichristianity, which is being risen from the sad ashes of overthrown and dismantled traditional Biblical Christianity, tweaked and corrupted into what shall become known in the near future as the religion of antichrist―antichristianity, if I may coin a phrase. And yes, I have been as guilty as the next Christian for allowing this to happen on our watch. I do not judge you, I am with you in guilt. And while I may be passionate, I am not more angry at you than I am angry at myself―God being angry at us both, and rightly so.
"They" knew that Christianity could never be stamped out; they failed miserably at that with Christ's crucifixion which only sparked the religion, and later-on, when to their dismay, the more that they persecuted the early church and the early Christians (to death), the more Christianity spread and grew (this event occupies a great portion of the book of Acts), until it became the dominant religion of the planet. And they learned a valuable lesson from that. So, Christianity could never be persecuted out of existence; however, it could be changed, corrupted from within, replaced by a counterfeit, repackaged and sold to a generation that was to come. But this final generation had to be prepared, fashioned, readied. This has been accomplished. It is these, our children, that shall be they who "And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast" (Rev 13:4a). If you are forty years old or so, and have children―they have been taken from you and from God. Utilized to take them was the Judaic-controlled television that you placed in their bedroom, and which you used to baby-sit them; the Judaic-controlled schools that you sent them to for six hours a day wherein God and Christ were expelled by the Judaic ADL's tireless efforts; the Judaic-controlled rebellious music and movies that you let them watch and listen to intently, all the while changing them within in ways that you could never grasp; the spouses that you divorced in Judaic-controlled sponsored legislation and lawyer's guilds "no fault Divorces," the baby-sitters that you hired instead to raise them; the Judaic-controlled government that you voted in, the Judaic-controlled anti-God anti-Christian laws that you winked at the passing of; the Judaic-controlled and overthrown from within "Christian" churches; the Judaic-controlled godlessness of your very own selves even. Think that I am giving too much credit to the International Judaics, do you? Once again, look around you, friend. Just like you yourselves were likewise incrementally taken away from your own parents and the love of God, what's left of your children is long ago gone. Your parent's parent's generation was the last one to have any hope―all now is corrupt. The Tribulation has to happen in this generation because if it waited till your children's children's generation there would be no faithful true Christians left to resist satan and his minions. The time is now or never, so to speak. This is the legacy that we left our children: The final generation (walking among us today)
Simple plan, really. But there was a problem. ...” |

The gist of what Mr. Hoffman is pointing out in his below article is that "they" are now at a stage where "they" are revealing their actions to see if the peoples are sufficiently mind-numbed for "them" to move forward into the later stages of their plans. In other words, "they" are purposely exposing themselves a little bit to see if resistance is present. Sadly, as you shall glean from the below article, "their" hunch paid off and we as a nation (and world even) didn't even blink. This is not good for us, especially us endtime Christians.
Note on terms in below article
Mr. Hoffman tends to use "three-dollar words" in many of his writings, which sometimes makes him hard to read. So I will explain a key one that permeates the below text, as I understand the term to mean. He uses the term "Cryptocracy," which I interpret to mean the organizational group behind the control of the world as we move into the New World Order. Perhaps this is they whom I refer to as "the International Judaics"; I don't for sure―but they both seem to be doing the same thing; that is―controlling the world in these end times, and before. But "crypto" is a prefix meaning hidden, secret, and "cracy" is a suffix meaning government, rule; so, "cryptocracy" is basically: hidden rule; or, when speaking of persons: hidden rulers. Which is exactly what the Learned Elders of Zion are (the International Judaics, as I refer to them as). These are the "hidden hand," so to speak.
Below is Mr. Hoffman's article, supplied with no further commentary:
REVELATION OF THE METHOD AND THE MURDER OF SPIRIT
A Page from the Cryptocracy's Psychological Warfare Manual
by Michael A. Hoffman II

No, this isn't a column about ectoplasm or the Fox Sisters; but the
epistemology of mass suppression of spirit, soul and mind; in other
words, a page from the Cryptocracy's own psychological warfare manual.
In the June 5 edition of the New York Times, there appeared on one-third
of page A19, an illustrated report on the concept that the 9/11 terror
attacks were US government-sponsored. The article was titled "For 9/11
Conspiracy Buffs, A Chance to Compare Notes." It was reported by Alan
Feuer.
If we were not in the alchemical "Must Be" stage of the "Making Manifest
of All that is Hidden" era, then this NY Times report would have never
seen print, or the reporter would have merely poked fun, or suggested
that 9/11 conspiracy investigators are fit mainly for the booby hatch,
in the American tradition of what Richard Hofstadter sneeringly termed
"paranoid style."
Nothing of the kind in this report, however. The New York Times
graciously called the 9/11 investigators "skeptics and scientists."
Even the website of these dissenters was provided: 911Truth.org
The anomaly that is the collapse of World Trade Center building 7, which
was not attacked in any discernible manner, but mysteriously fell
anyway, was cited rather than avoided. Also noted by the Times are
incendiary topics such as the collapse of the World Trade Center towers
through "controlled demolition," and the fact that "the military command
that monitors aircraft 'stood down' on the day of the attacks." This is
just the sort of sensitive, hidden data that ought to make the
Cryptocracy squirm, unless the Cryptocracy itself approved its release
for purposes of Revelation of the Method.
Physics Prof. Steven E. Jones is recognized by the NY Times as the
antidote to the National Institute of Standards and Technology Report,
which claims to debunk the notion that the collapse of WTC building 7
was any kind of anomaly. A long URL is furnished for Prof. Jones'
rebuttal paper.
The tenor of the New York Times report is mostly respectful. It all but
affirms that there's a good case for believing the US government did
this to its own citizens. That's quite an astounding concession in the
nation's "newspaper of record," in an article taking up one-third of
page 19 in the paper's first section, under the headline "New York
Report."
