Food Laws, are we to keep them today?  What foods are "clean" and "unclean."   


A reader writes:

Dear Sir:

I am enjoying this website very much because it is
helping me tremendously with the understanding of the
scriptures.  I feel so fortunate to have found this
for my study of our Father's Word.

Please help me to understand the topic of what foods a
Christian should or should not eat. I have read
Ezekiel but I am still not clear.

Can you explain it to me?

Thank you,

{Xxxxxx] in Michigan


Answer:

Hello; thank you for the kind words, they mean much to me.  And the written Word of God—the Holy Bible—as you are no doubt observing is indeed both profound, deep, inexhaustible, God-inspired, and with proper interpretation is to be trusted at every place.  It is God-breathed Scripture, profitable unto salvation for every happy soul whom believes upon it. 

    While we aren't admonished to eat clean anymore ("eating clean" is what you are referring to by "the food laws"), they are however healthy for us.  I know that some people say that we are to still keep the food laws, but the New Testament clarifies that they are no longer by commandment, and thus are not necessary for us to keep (though there is nothing wrong with keeping them—just don't think that it will get you to Heaven or anything like that).  I will give Scripture to document that statement momentarily. 

    But first let me make mention that "eating clean" is not the same as the so-called "Kosher food" of the modern-day Judaics.  They (Judaism) are today every bit the hypocrites that Christ so often admonished their religious predecessors (Pharisees) of in the New Testament.  For instance, you have heard of "Kosher Ham," haven't you?  Well, in the Old Testament of the Bible ALL pork is considered unclean (and thus prohibited under the old food laws).  With Kosher Ham, a rabbi is present during the slaughter and that somehow makes a difference.  Also see the video which records the shocking cruelty and barbarity of the Jewish Kosher slaughter technique, which is wholly against anything God has ever stated regarding the ethical and humane treatment of animals under or care and use: VIDEO: The Judaic inhumanity Of Their "Kosher" Slaughterhouses 

    I myself eat clean (but never Kosher!), not because I feel that I have to, but it is just something a little extra that I do.  These food laws are found in Leviticus chapter eleven (and elsewhere), and a short overview of them is that, of the waters, you can only eat that which has both fins and scales.  So clams, lobster, whale, shark, frog, etc. would be prohibited.  You may eat no pork products.  All vegetables and fruits are clean (I have heard some say that mushrooms are unclean, but I cannot find Biblical documentation for that—thus, I eat mushrooms; Campbell's Mushroom Soup, that is.)  We are to eat no blood (and this is a big one with God—found in at least four Bible books, starting with Noah in Genesis), so the Polish and German "Blood Soups" are out.  Chicken, beef, lamb, veal are all fine, as are deer.  That pretty much covers the American diet.  For a more detailed account of the food laws, including which birds to eat, and which insects (oddly, locusts are clean food), and which smaller animals, refer to Leviticus chapter eleven.  (Note:  The term, "Chewing the cud," that you will encounter there in the food laws refers to the regurgitation of the food from the stomach, like a cow does) 

    Now, some will say that the food laws are still in effect, but the below Scripture shows that Peter was informed that all animals are clean, as are all men.  So that to say that not all animals are clean is to say that some men aren't clean.  This is not the case.  Read the below and see the analogy (type) that God used with Peter regarding comparing men to animals, clean and unclean, common or uncommon.  Remembering that for the "antitype" to be true, the "type" must also be true.  A little more explanation is needful here: 

    In other words, for the true event or thing (the antitype) to be true, so too must that which is being used as an example (type) also be true.  Or more clearly by example:  Jesus Christ is referred to as the Lamb, reminiscent of the Passover lamb.  Thus, the actual lamb used in the Old Testament Passover ceremony would be the "type," and Jesus Christ would be the "antitype," the final fulfillment of the sacrificial Lamb.  My point is that as you read the below first Scripture, you will be met with a situation: was God calling all animals clean, or was He just calling all men clean when he said: "What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common" (Acts 10:15b).  The above explanation I believe should document that since we know that God means that all men can be clean, He therefore has to mean that all foods can be clean--because for the antitype (men) to be true, the type (animals) must also be true.  This applies to all "types" in the Bible.  Now to our Scripture, from which I drew that last above verse excerpt:

Acts 10:9-29
9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. [presumably there were unclean things in this collection as Peter will indicate]
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,
18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
23 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
24 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
29 Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?  KJV

Hebrews 9:8-14
8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
10 Which stood only in meats [all food types] and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?  KJV 

1 Corinthians 6:12-14
12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.  KJV 

Hebrews 13:7-15
7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.  KJV 

1 Timothy 4:1-5
4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry
[as the Catholic clergy are so burdened—to tragic result], and commanding to abstain from meats [foods], which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.  KJV

Note on the above:  Those who try to say that the food laws are still in effect will read the above verse three as:  "commanding to abstain from [THOSE PARTICULAR] meats [omitted comma] which God hath created to be received [added period]", omitting the comma after the word meats, and in their mind inserting the bracketed words, and cutting off the sentence and mentally pacing a premature period mark in.  Which is a corruption of the text, however unwillful.  The text reads fine in the Bible and is quite clear that God was referring to all food when He inspired to be written the verse as thus: "commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth."  The key to interpreting this verse is in the (omitted by some in their minds) last sentence fragment: "which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth".  In other words, to eat it giving thanks to the Lord for the sustenance; kind of like when Christians say a blessing before eating a holiday meal. 

    Collateral, though somewhat off-topic, information would be found among other places, in: 

Genesis 9:1-4
9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.  KJV 
[Note: But this is BEFORE God gave the food laws in Leviticus] 

1 Corinthians 8:4-13
4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
7 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.  KJV

    And finally:

Colossians 2:16-23
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
21(Touch not; taste not; handle not;
22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.  KJV

Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

Tim LaHaye and his "Left Behind" Rapture $erie$

 

A (new) reader writes:

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?  (KJV)  

Nick,

Thanks for making yourself available for questions.

I'm currently undertaking to study " Understanding Bible Prophecy for yourself " by Tim Lahaye. I wish to read from learned authors like Tim and You even if your conclusions are different. If one contrasts your study and his I'm not sure on which side of the rapture debate they will end up on, but their knowledge of Biblical Prophecy will improve exponentially.  

Please look at the "falling away first" portion of verse 3.

I'm sure you know where this is going.
                            Thanks,

                               [Xxxxxx]


Answer:

Hmm...  Hello [Xxxxx].  Tim LaHaye, you say?  So, you want to learn "Understanding Bible Prophecy for yourself" with Tim LaHaye, do you?  What is it exactly that are seeking to learn?  How to go to Hell?  That is all that Tim LaHaye and his cohorts could ever teach you about "Understanding Bible Prophecy for yourself.

    You mention in your E-mail the term: "'falling away first' portion of verse 3.", The two English words "falling away" are the translation of a single Greek word.  I will explain that word momentarily. 

    But first let me say that I am not "jumping on you" here, but I don't think that you realize how dangerous this man and his teachings are.  The sad thing is that millions of Christians have been misled by this man.  And when you promote this man's work you become partaker in his evil deeds:

2 John 11
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.  KJV

    You say that, "I'm sure you know where this is going".  I wonder if YOU know where "this is going."  Let me explain: 

    The term "falling away" in the Scripture that you supplied (reproduced below) is the translation of the lone Greek word apostasia.  That's apostasy in the English, [Xxxxx]!  I have actually heard nit wit Rapture teachers say that this "falling away" is their Rapture!  When in fact it is God's prophecy that the churches would apostatize away from the truth, away from God and Jesus Christ, and into antichrist's (satan's) arms. 

   Observe:

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

falling away: NT (Greek New Testament Word)646  apostasia (ap-os-tas-ee'-ah); feminine of the same as NT:647; defection from truth (properly, the state) ["apostasy"]:  KJV - falling away, forsake.

NT:647  apostasion (ap-os-tas'-ee-on); neuter of a (presumed) adj. from a derivative of NT:868; properly, something separative, i.e. (specially) divorce:  KJV - (writing of) divorcement.

(NT:868  aphistemi (af-is'-tay-mee); frm NT:575 and NT:2476; to remove, i.e. (actively) instigate to revolt; usually (reflexively) to desist, desert, etc.:  KJV - depart, draw (fall) away, refrain, withdrawself.

(Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright © 1994, 2003 Biblesoft, Inc. and International Bible Translators, Inc.)

    That's where Tim LaHaye will take you: revolting against God, divorced from God, and defecting away from the truth. 

    Tim LaHaye has betrayed Christianity for filthy lucre, and he (and all false teachers) have tons of it (money) because Christians support them—to their own destruction and the dismantlement of the Christian faith.  Tim LaHaye sells his lies and then he even tells you that they are fiction, but he presents them as fact (I can only but imagine the folly in his "Understanding Bible Prophecy for yourself" class!).  He only adds the disclaimer about them, being fiction to avoid liability.  Below I have highlighted the incriminating term from his Website search result.  Observe the below from a Google search on "Tim LaHaye"; it is from his own Website advertisement: 

Biography and information about Tim Lahaye Ministries, the Left Behind fiction series, and the Tim Lahaye School of Prophecy. Links to related sites.

[ More results from www.timlahaye.com ]

     Be careful ,my friend, you are in dangerous company.  This man can not "not know" what he is doing.  He is a willing false teacher.  No true Christian would ever make a book series and movie series about the Bible and then call it "fiction."  Especially when they skew the doctrine and willingly present falsehoods about the book of Revelation and the final prophesies of God.  Else, why would he call it "fiction" if he though he was presenting the truth of God!?!  He knows what he is doing.  And furthermore, what he has done is to violate the below Scriptural threat from God:

Revelation 22:18-21
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.  KJV

    He has grown fat rich on this, and he has the adoration of many Christians because of his Rapture lies.  Don't join Tim LaHaye, [Xxxxx]; for, he shall learn the great solemnity of the below Scriptures:

Matthew 16:26-27
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world , and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.  KJV
 

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

    Didn't mean to bite your head off, but this is too important to mince words.  And please never compare me to that evil man.  Am I "judging him?"  No, he has judged himself: "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." (Mat 7:20).  I'm just reporting it, like all Christian watchmen are to do.

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

PS:  You said, "If one contrasts your study and his [Tim LaHaye's] I'm not sure on which side of the rapture debate they will end up on".  We have a study on our Website that blows the Rapture lie right out of the water:   The Rapture Theory; What Does God's Word Say About It?

Tribulation preparation?

 

A reader writes:

Hello!  I am new to your site and have been reading a lot of your work on the end times.  I am a mother of 5 young children and very terrified about going through tribulation with my children.  My husband and I are not financially capable of preparing ourselves for those times.

One of my question relates to the timing of it all.  You seem positive that it will take place in our life time.  How are you so sure?  Also what are your thoughts on Javier Solana being the antichrist?  Do you think the peace covenant that he is heading up to be put into effect Jan. 1st 2007 is THE ONE?  In other words do you think the last 7 years will begin this January?

And if it does how long do you think it will be before Christians need to flee into hiding?  I know the Bible says that we as believers will know when to go, I am just scared I wont recognize when my family should flee our city. My brother owns a home in the country and I figure we would go there.

You say they will start with the major cities, do you believe that includes the capitols of all states?  And do you think someone that lives an hour outside of the city will be able to stay in their home?  Or will they be persecuted as well?  I am sorry for so many questions, I hope they don't seem trivial.
Thank you,
[Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx]
 

Answer:

Hello [Xxxxxx]:  may I just take your questions line by line?  And I am sorry to be so long in getting to your answer—I have been so busy lately.  I suppose that if I were like those ecumenical false teachers pumping "feel-good" messages into people instead of the hard truth as contained in the Bible that I would be able to support a staff to help with the work.  :o)  Satan takes good care of his own; but then, I hasten to add, so too does God take good care of His own.

John 15:14-27 [Jesus speaking]
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world , the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world , but I have chosen you out of the world , therefore the world hateth you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.  KJV

    Anyway, you said/asked:

"Hello!  I am new to your site and have been reading a lot of your work on
the end times.  I am a mother of 5 young children and very terrified about
going through tribulation with my children.  My husband and I are not
financially capable of preparing ourselves for those times.
"

    I will refer to your above last comment; i.e., "My husband and I are not financially capable of preparing ourselves for those times", at the end of this Q&A, but first:  You do well to fear that time, but at the same time know that you can trust Christ to help you through that time.  "Fear" keeps us on our guard, instead of being lulled to sleep with vain words of "peace and safety" (in the Tribulation):

1 Thessalonians 5:1-6
5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober
[sober-minded; i.e., clear headed and sound in doctrine and action].  KJV

  That the time is to be "feared" (or respected by preparation, perhaps better stated) is clear in the below admonition from Jesus Christ Himself:

Matthew 24:20-22
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.  KJV

    We see two things in the above; one, that some of us are to flee.  And secondly, that God Himself has shortened the days, thereby indicating that He will help us and shall be very watchful as to our condition during that time.  Also, by the very fact that God shall shorten the Tribulation we can rest in the assurance that He shall take many of us through it unto safety.  For, why shorten the time if not to save some certain amount?  You only shorten a thing to save some, though some others were lost at the first.  So too shall it be with Christian deaths—some shall die for Christ, these are the martyrs who live and reign with Jesus Christ for the thousand years of Revelation chapter twenty; and some shall live through the Tribulation by various means, but always with God's unction and help.  More on this later.

Revelation 20:4-6
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

    My above earlier point that some Christians (number and percentage unknown) shall live through this Tribulation in good standing is double-documented by the below Scripture, where we see that at the Second Advent, which is after, and ends, the Tribulation—there shall be living Christians on this Earth who made it through the Great Tribulation unscathed both physically and spiritually:

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep [i.e., those who die], that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again [Christ resurrected after dying], even so them also which sleep [die] in Jesus [good standing] will God bring with him [also resurrect, as was Jesus resurrected].
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto [until] the coming of the Lord [the Second Advent] shall not prevent [precede] them which are asleep [those who died before the Second Advent].
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God [see below nine Scriptures for the timing of this event—it is NOT any secret Rapture!  It is the Second and final Advent]: and the dead in Christ shall rise first [have risen first, for we see them returning with Christ in the below verse]:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them [those who had risen first] in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.  KJV

Isaiah 25:8-9
8 He will swallow up death in victory [see Scripture below (1 Cor 15:51-58) for the timing of this event--it is the exact same time spoken of in the above parallel Scripture (1 Thes 4:13-18)]; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.
9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for [not sought to Rapture out with some false christ: "Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing." (Mat 24:46)], we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.  KJV

1 Corinthians 15:51-58
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?  KJV

Matthew 16:27
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.  KJV
 

Matthew 24:30-31
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall [at that time, the "then" of the preceding verse] send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.  KJV
 

Matthew 25:31
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:  KJV
 

Matthew 26:64
64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see [from here on you won't see me again until you see] the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven [i.e., at, and not until, the Second Advent].  KJV
 

Acts 1:11
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven [He did not ascend secretly and He won't return secretly—all eyes present saw Him ascend, as shall all eyes see Him descend at the Second Advent].  KJV
 

2 Thessalonians 1:7
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed [be made known] from heaven with his mighty angels,  KJV
 

2 Peter 3:10
10 But the day of the Lord [Second advent] will come as a thief in the night; in [on that day, at that Second Advent] the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.  KJV
 

Revelation 1:7
7 Behold, he [Jesus] cometh with clouds [spoken of in our 1st Thes 4:17 verse: "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air"]; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him [even the antichrists who killed Him shall shall see Him then]: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him [therefore they all SEE Him when He next returns]. Even so, Amen.  KJV

    My secondary point in the above Scriptures is that there is NO RAPTURE!  My primary point was that: There shall be living Christians on this Earth who made it through the Great Tribulation unscathed both physically and spiritually.  You may well be one of those Christian Tribulation-survivors, dear. 

    You said/asked:

"One of my question relates to the timing of it all.  You seem positive that it will
take place in our life time.  How are you so sure?
"

    In our life time?  How about in our near future?  How do I know?  I know by studying the prophecies and comparing them to what is happening on the ground today.  There is nothing lacking for the Tribulation to start within a couple of years, perhaps sooner, maybe later.  For, God can change the speed of the events on this Earth and thus move the time of the beginning of the Tribulation forwards or backward. 

    Many people are not aware that when Israel invaded Lebanon last month, for a moment, we were within literal months of the Tribulation.  I felt it, I wonder how many others did?  But then God slowed it back down; Israel retreated, the Arab world did not solidify against Israel and the Christian West in world war three, and the matter now sits on the fire, percolating, just waiting for the heat to be turned-up to boiling.  And the lid is on tight—she will blow up.  And at any time God can speed it all up—like for instance if Israel (or America) attacks Iran's nuclear facilities (for which Israel must herself use nuclear bunker-buster bombs to penetrate the facilities—thus effectively launching what shall be considered to be a nuclear attack upon Iran.  Iran being in possession of protection agreements from Russia, China, and India (i.e., "the kings of the East" of Revelation.  Everything happening over there in the Middle East, every nation currently on the edge of major military moves, is mentioned in prophecy.  And a good student of prophecy can tell you what is going to happen to and with them—he just can't tell you WHEN.  Then, comparing those prophecies with the way that the nations are being set in array for the battle, one can keep a kind of finger on the world's pulse.  But like I said, these things start-up, then die down, then flash up again.  One day they won't settle down—they will escalate and explode into the final times.  Only God knows when this will happen.  It could be next month or next decade or next millennium.  It is God's hands, but I wouldn't invest in any long-term notes, if you know what I mean.  :o) 

    And Israel isn't the only hot-topic on the map, nor the only situation that satan has simmering.  The world is very volatile right now—so many things can flash up and trigger the beginning of the Tribulation, which I identify as the widespread martial laws and the removal of freedom of person, this I believe will proceed after large-scale military conflicts in conjunction with terrorist attacks and certain natural cataclysms, not leaving out the planned breakdown of the global economy.  It is based upon that action (when the world's governments for whatever reasons feel the need to remove freedom from their populous') that once that freedom is removed the International Judaics shall sweep in with their long-planned global control, secretly assassinating any governmental official not on-board and replace them with puppets that they have waiting in the wings in all nations.  And once martial law is nationwide in the countries, those people in those nations shall be at the will and whim of whoever is controlling those governments and the guns that patrol the streets distributing food, providing electric and fuel oil, etc.  Think of Hurricane Katrina's aftermath gone national, or rather, gone international.  The identity of this controlling beast is the International Judaics, or, as they call themselves, the Learned Elders of Zion, or more recently, the Council of the Jewish Agency.  Same crew, different names. 

You said/asked:

"Also what are your thoughts on Javier Solana being the antichrist?"

    It's the same as anyone else being considered the antichrist—it's all subterfuge designed to take our minds off of who shall be the real antichrist; and that would be satan, and nobody else. 

    You said/asked:

"Do you think the peace covenant that he is heading up to be put into effect Jan. 1st 2007 is THE ONE?  In other words do you think the last 7 years will begin this January?"

    You are repeating what you heard, I know that.  But there isn't going to be a peace treaty with the so-called nation of Israel.  That is just the weak attempts of man in trying to figure out prophecy (mostly from Rapture doctors who couldn't figure out a prophecy if it landed upon their own heads—their whole doctrine is askew; how pray tell, could they figure out a prophecy when they can't even figure out what to teach in church?)  And the state called "Israel" today (wherein are not God's people), in the Middle East, isn't of God.  It should not be there.  It does not answer to any of the prophecies save for the seat of the beast.  1948 and 1969 were not of or for God (1948 saw the illegal state of Israel being founded by the Khazars, and 1969 being the year that the antichrists took East Jerusalem containing the Temple Mount in the Six Day War).  It (Jerusalem "Israel") rather being the future seat of antichrist after they will have suppressed the Christian church and handed the world over to their god satan (antichrist).

    Time doesn't permit me to expand on this at this moment.  So take it or leave it as you wish.  But the peace made is made with the world, not with the criminal and un-Biblical modern day nation state of Israel.  And neither does it (Jerusalem, Israel) belong to the Muslims.  Though we see, as prophecy declared, that the heathen ("Gentiles") are troddening it down today (Muslims and Jews).  It (Jerusalem) shall, after being purged, become the residence of God's people, the "new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." (Rev 21:2b).  Prior to that there is no good thing in the location today called "Israel" on the map—it is satan's abode, God left it long ago when they murdered Him there.  And now, today, His betrayers and murderers are sitting in that city calling themselves His "chosen people," and overthrown Christians being led by Christ-betraying play-preachers are agreeing with them, financially supporting them, and fighting wars for them.  A day of reckoning is coming—but not before the day of Jacob's trouble (our [true] Christian's trouble). 

Luke 13:34-35
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.  KJV

    Search the book of Revelation in vain, neither "Israel" nor Jerusalem are the location of anything Godly, but rather of the beast and his henchmen which are persecuting the endtime church (and world)—there is no good thing in Jerusalem until Christ returns and kills everything wicked.  Heck, it is even in Jerusalem that antichrist kills God's Two Witnesses and where satan (antichrist) sets up his temple claiming to be God.  Many Christians today, being misled by uninspired neo-Christian pretend preachers do not have an accurate picture of the Second Advent, they forget that while Christ came the first time to save, He comes the second time to judge.  And that while God is indeed a God of love—He is also a God of wrath, and His arms are not waxen short that He should not execute His promised vengeance.  Jesus Christ is not happy at the Second Advent.  And why should He be?  He returns to world that is worshipping satan, persecuting His Christian faithful remnant unto death, and to a so-called "chosen people" who have not known Him—never knew Him; and to a city once beloved (Jerusalem) that has become a harlot, willingly laying prostrate beneath the beast.

The Second Advent Of Jesus Christ

Revelation 19:11-21
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.  KJV

    Moving on.  You said/asked:

"And if it does how long do you think it will be before Christians need to
flee into hiding?  I know the Bible says that we as believers will know when
to go, I am just scared I wont recognize when my family should flee our
city. My brother owns a home in the country and I figure we would go there. 
You say they will start with the major cities, do you believe that includes
the capitols of all states?  And do you think someone that lives an hour
outside of the city will be able to stay in their home?  Or will they be
persecuted as well?  I am sorry for so many questions, I hope they don't seem
trivial.
"

    Oh, I assure you that it isn't trivial!  Regarding the hiding, this is different for all Christians.  What I mean is that some will hide, some will not, some God shall supernaturally protect (Rev 12:6 & 14-16), some shall die (Rev 6:11, etc.).  Is it not even written:

Revelation 13:9-10
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.  KJV

    My point is that we each individually need to pray to God and ask what is His will for us.  It is not the same for all of us, though we all be Christians.  Just today we each have different duties and purposes, so too in the Tribulation shall we each have different responsibilities and duties, though we be equal Christian brethren. 

    I feel bad that my writings may have scared you; but what can I do other than teach the truth as I believe it to be, supplying my Biblical documentation as to why I believe this or that?  And it is you that must further investigate with prayer to come to the understanding that God has desire that you individually come to. 

    Let me say something about the Christian martyrs in the Tribulation; and with a thousand words I could probably document it—but I will offer it not as fact but as my opinion only:  There shall not be one Christian martyred in the Tribulation that would want to be anywhere else doing anything else.  In other words, they shall willingly give their lives in the service of the King.  The KING of kings and LORD of lords, that is. 

    So to all of you who are worried about this; don't worry, you won't be called. 

    Regarding preparations:  If you are so led to prepare then you had better start now.  Once this thing begins you will not be able to make your preparations.  How would you prepare?  Just go to the numerous Survivalist Websites and all that you need to know you shall find there.  Think of it as a four year long camping trip.  But please be careful about associating yourself with non-Christians—they shall betray your plans and your person when they begin to worship antichrist:

Revelation 13:6-8
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.  KJV

    If they aren't Christians by then, then they are those "whose names are not written in the book of life", and they "shall worship him [the beast]". and they shall help the antichrists (International Judaics) "make war with the saints, and to overcome them".  Word to the wise is sufficient. 

    Don't worry.  Pray.  Listen to what God is showing your heart.  Then don't worry, act; whichever way God leads you. 

    You asked:

"You say they will start with the major cities, do you believe that includes the capitols of all states?"

    Your great enemy during the Tribulation (and immediately before it) is people.  Stay away from them.  In the city you have that many more opportunities to encounter people who could rob you, rape you, murder you, turn you into the Int. Judaics for conversion to antichristianity and antichrist, their god.  Stay away from crowded centers.  Stay away from people.

    In closing, I left one question/statement unanswered until now, that being your comment:

"My husband and I are not financially capable of preparing ourselves for those times"

    But it takes so little to survive.  A single hundred-pound bag of rice could feed your family for weeks or more, and costs little.  Add a hundred pound bag of beans and you have a primitive diet (carbs & protein) that you can survive on.  Anything more is all the better.  Your brother's place in the country sounds good.  But he will think that you are nuts when you tell him why you may need to someday "drop-in" and live there for a while.  But then, they no doubt though Noah to be nuts when he was building an Ark in his driveway—until that is, God opened the heavens down upon them.  :o) 

    God loves us, and He will do for us that which we cannot do for ourselves.  Trust Him, and pray. 

Peace to you in Christ Jesus. 

PS:  One more thing, especially to you city dwellers:  GET THEE A GUN! Not for antichrist, but for the bandits and mobs and the hoards of antichrist followers that shall come on their heels.

Watchmen watching

 

A (female) reader writes:

Hi Nick, 

First, (the obligatory yet very heartfelt) thank you for your work on this website.  At present, it is my only source of "companion" study as I am tired of people who want to argue rather than study. 

Second, (I watch WAY too much TV) it is old news that we have numbed ourselves to killing and all other violence, but the escalation in the graphic nature of it all is beginning to horrify me - partly because I, myself, can sit and watch it without giving it a second thought, unless I force myself to at least be appalled by it, if not cut it off.  And, mostly I don't cut it off.  And bottom line is bottom line - we are being lulled into unflinchingly watching someone flayed alive - or sodomized - or tortured in ways only we creative humans could manage.  (preparation for end time brother against brother??) 

As a group of people - we don't flinch anymore! 

{An aside.  I saved the last two minutes of a particular CSI-Las Vegas, where the main character (Grissom) is saying in words that won't get the producers of the show in trouble, that the city of Las Vegas brought on the particular type of violence that had just occurred with the "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" ad campaign - it says come to vegas and do what you want with no repercussions - no guilt.} 

I can't imagine how hard it is to stay focused on the Lord in your line of work?  I won't ask if it is possible, as you are obviously doing it, but do you flinch? 

{And another aside.  We are being lulled into an acceptance of death with a preponderance of dead people shows - Medium, Ghost Whisperer, Hex, Charmed, Dead Like Me, John Edward Cross Country, Montel, various vampire concepts, etc. - not just our own deaths, but the deaths of others.  The message: death is not final.  True, but all these deaths are depicted without mention of Jesus and salvation.  Again, it is as if we are being prepped.} 

That was the easy part, a warm up question.  I'm a bit uncomfortable with this next area of my e-mail.

After spending time on the website, my best guess is that you walk your talk.  How do your fellow officers take it?  Actually, I don't necessarily mean your partner or the officers around you, so "fellow officers" is a misnomer.  I mean the Police Department.  Given the ubiquitous nature of the International Judaics and their (assumed on my part) propensity for government offices, doesn't your job make you an even easier target for any number of small jabs and pokes, to say nothing of the potentially forthcoming huge shove? 

You are, to put it mildly, outspoken.  God bless you for that.  God keep you safe for that.  I know that as a Christian man, and from your writings, you have chosen to do the work for the Lord, come what may.  You live and die for Jesus.  And that is just the way it is.  So, these questions aren't to figure you out or to pry into your life.  I just want to know if it is happening as a "marker," if you will.  Are you being persecuted for your work?  I'm not asking how or when or by whom (well, we know by whom!), just if you are. 

The Watchmen site is the only one I know of to add the subject of the International Judaics to the study of God's word.  And you speak out against the revered Religionatics of our time - albeit not as vehemently as Forgotten Word Ministries - so the study site (i.e., you) is (are) a triple threat. 

Yes?  No? 

If you have the time and are so inclined...this e-mail is prompted by your own words about being a police officer, the e-mail from the woman worried about surviving the coming travails, and my own thoughts about being as off-the-grid and as out of the line of fire as possible (no credit cards, moving towards more and more cash transactions, preparation for potentially "uncomfortable" times - focusing on ONLY what is important - OR...stepping forward with God's word). 

Thanks, [Xxxxxxx]


Answer:

Hello [Xxxxx].  Thank you for the kind words of encouragement and for the concern for my safety that shows through in your writing.  First I will cover the other concerns/statements then I will deal with the personal part.

    Regarding the numbing of the conscience of this once-Christian nation:  Yes, they are purposely searing our consciences.  They (and I don't have to tell you who "they" are if you have read me for any length of time) through their controlled medium of television and movies are constantly bombarding us with images of death, vice, homosexuality, godlessness, self-gratification at any consequence, and instilling within us with a disrespect for our government.  Why would they do this? 

    For one, they intend that we attempt to overthrow this government, whereby they will then step in with "preventative" Martial Law.  This, I believe, may well happen at the onset of the next unpopular war.  Now, I am no fan of George Bush, I know who he works for and I know who he worships (the International Judaics and satan, respectively); however, he is still the president of this free nation.  And I am appalled at the total lack of respect shown to the President of the United States of America by the media and the Liberals—by everyday Americans even. 

    But what they do not understand is that when they destroy George Bush they will also destroy the country that he runs.  In other words, when the ship sinks, we all drown, not just the Captain of the ship.  So in effect, the propaganda masters have us collectively working out our own shipwreck.  They then shall step in with the lifeboats.  But the lifeboats have hand and leg irons in them, and to be saved by this crew means enslavement. 

    This is the exact same model that the Judaics used to overthrow once-Christian pre-1917 Russia in the (Jewish) Bolshevik Revolution, by which they turned a Christian nation, strong and proud, into a Judaic-controlled godless Atheist hellhole, murdering some 60+ millions of White Russians (as history calls them), mostly Christians.  The Jews did that and they are the ones doing it to us as we speak.  They destroy us, by us; because there isn't enough of them to do the job themselves.  For the last forty years or so the Judaics have used the Liberals, which welcomed with open arms the divisive integration, sexual liberation, feminist, and abortion movements, and especially the anti-war protests of the sixties and now soon in the 2000's.  However, there is currently a shift underway in the International Judaic's proxies; they have recently (since G.W. Bush), shifted their tool and are now using the Conservatives.  Not real Conservatives mind you, I speak of the Judeocons (NeoCons) (Neo-Conservatives, or New Conservatives), which are almost exclusively Jewish.  Coming soon is another shift back to the Democrats [PS: this was written about four weeks ago, and just being posted today (Nov 15)--I didn't know at the time how accurate a statement that was (regarding the recent Democratic sweep of the Mid-Term Elections 2006)--WBSG]like a chameleon the International Judaics shift proxies, but always with the same goal in mind, to destabilize America and the Christian Western Nations.  Enough on that.

     The greatest prize for the International Judaics was the de-Christianization of America (and all the once-Christian Western nations).  So we see here three fronts (out of many): Social and moral degradation, rebellion against the powers that be, and spiritual degradation.  In short, the International Judaics are causing us to make God want to remove His blessings from off this country.  And they are succeeding.  They are setting us up for an overthrow of the Constitutionally protected form of government that we until recently enjoyed.  And they are turning us into them.  What I mean by that last statement is that the moral compass of most people in this country, and sadly many Christians, is that we are thinking like and effectively becoming more..., well..., Jewish.  The spirit of the Jewish Talmud courses through our modern society's veins, like it or not, notice it or not.  We are being set up to become "Righteous Gentiles" (Noahides), which are basically non-Jewish "Jews" who have the rights of barn animals).  The thirteenth chapter of Revelation speaks of an entire world so affected, which explains the world's collective actions at that time.

    I know that it is not possible that what I have just said will not be misunderstood by some and taken as so-called AntiSemitism.  But to tell you the truth I don't even care anymore what they say.  I have said the truth.  I can document every word.  In fact, the International Judaics document it for me everyday and in their own writings.  But we are all blind sheep and believe not what we see—but what we are told that we see—though we really don't see it at all.  So what good cause is there for me to flip-flop and roll over and beg people not to think that I am an AntiSemite.  I am not an AntiSemite, take that or leave that at your discernment.  I know that in a propaganda war (which the International Judaics relentlessly and tirelessly drag us through over and over again till we don't know what the heck to believe or stand-up for anymore) that the truth means absolutely nothing; hence the institution of Political Correctness which has replaced conscience in America and indeed all the West.  "Political Correctness" is really just a sanitized way of saying that the truth is a lie and that lies are the truth.  The Bible foretold of this our time:

Isaiah 5:20-30
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
28 Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:
29 Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.
30 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.  KJV

   God's mad, and America is on His short list.  Think God loves America?  Below is a current counter, counting in real-time the murder of innocents in just the Christian Western Nations.  In the Communist countries (like China for instance) and in near-third world nations the numbers are staggering (and suppressed by the you-know-who controlled (International Media).  King Herod would have blushed at our murder of the innocents over his when he tried to assassinate the baby Jesus by killing all the infants in the region.

Matt 2:16-18
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet
[Jeremiah 31:15], saying,
18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.  KJV

Jer 31:15
15 Thus saith the Lord; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping ; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.  KJV

     Today, one in four pregnancies in this once-Christian nation of America is terminated in abortion. 

“...48 percent of pregnancies among American women are unintended, and ½ of these are terminated in abortion. . . .An estimated 43 percent of women will have at least 1 abortion by the time they are 45 years old. . . . Each year, an estimated 46 million abortions occur world-wide...” The Allan Guttmacher Institute.

     Below is a conservative estimate of the number of abortions that have been carried out this millennium (since 01 January 2001) in the western world only (world-wide figures much higher).  That's one abortion every 3.2 seconds)

Watch the numbers Increase For the "Christian" Western nations

Jewish Doctor “started it all” for the Pro-Choice Movement and “helped make abortion legal”

“… [M.D. Dr. Bernard] Nathanson, perhaps the closest thing to being ‘the man who started it all’ for the ‘Pro-Choice Movement’ ― the Edward Teller of Abortion….”  “Dr. Bernard Nathanson, co-founder in 1969 of the National Abortion Rights Action League, helped make abortion legal.  As director of New York City’s Center for Reproductive and Sexual Health, the world’s largest abortion clinic, and the nation’s most prominent abortionist, he presided over 60,000 abortions.”[1]

…In this memoir, Dr. Nathanson describes his Jewish upbringing, his religious struggles throughout his education and medical training, and the threat he felt when asked to be a character witness at a friend’s hearing before Joseph McCarthy’s Senatorial [Anti-Communist] Committee.[2]

Book Review by Delbert H. Meyer, MD, of Bernard N. Nathanson, MD’s book, The Hand of God --- A Journal from Death to Life by the Abortion Doctor Who Changed His Mind.  Source document: http://www.haciendapub.com/nathanson.html

    I hope that I don't have tell you who is behind the Abortion Movement, or who profits by it, or who got it  introduced as law (I shall in my book—with documentation, I might add).  Now I want you to figure out in your own heart what God thinks of this nation (and England, France, etc—all the once-Christian Western nations currently being morally and otherwise overthrown by the International Judaics).

    Moving on.

    Regarding WBSG's continued advice to Christians "being as off-the-grid and as out of the line of fire as possible", in relation to myself personally―I do not "practice what I preach."  What I mean is that I am out in the open, easy to find, and bold in speech.  Yet, I speak of staying "off the grid" for you.  Contradiction?  At face value, yes; however, someone has to be out, some people have to do something—we can't ALL just hide.  I choose to fight (legally—I do not advocate the breaking of just laws, and refuse adamantly to be associated with or aligned with any group that advocates or practices lawlessness).  God's written Word sets our guidelines on what is lawless—the Great Creator is both Teacher and Judge.

    As far as being a Police Officer, it actually helps me more than being an impediment.  For one, we (Law Enforcement Officers) are all trained to look at others without prejudice; we are not allowed to persecute anyone—not even rapists and murderers.  Therefore, no Police officer shall ever persecute me for my faith (until the Tribulation, that is).  Also, a Police Officer is harder to "disappear" or "frame" (favorite Int. Judaic tactics) when he has worked with so many other Police officers, lawyers, Judges, and decent members of society, for twenty years.  But an "unknown" is easy to destroy or murder.  And while it may not be fair, when a Cop is killed the whole legal system focuses an incredible amount of light on the matter.  The International Judaics are vampires and do not like the light.  But really, I am not that effective, anyway.  What, three hundred visits a day to my little Website—how much trouble could I cause.  But I am not alone, there are others like me out there.  And the fact of the matter (which is not being lost on the International Judaics) is that a whole lot of people are waking up to what is going on and to whom it is that is destroying us. 

    But, that is not exactly good news, per se, because it means that "we" will force the hand of the conspirators to put us down sooner rather than later, fearing that they will lose hold of the situation.  So something is coming soon because too many people are waking up.  "They" don't like their slaves awake.  In just one little area of theater, almost the majority of people are coming to the sobering realization that 911 isn't exactly what we have been told that it was (for an eye-opening look at the events of 911, see the video: Click here to watch Loose Change - 2nd Edition).  Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.  The world is waking up and smelling the coffee.  And not just here in America, mind you; but in England, Russia, Germany, France, Canada, Poland, Spain, White South Africa, Australia, Anglo-Saxon nations near and wide which have been the unrelenting targets of International Jewry for centuries, from the Crucifixion even.  Sure, "they" try to call these people "AntiSemites," but even that ruse doesn't have the same impact it once had due to overuse and misapplication.

    Thank you for your concern, but don't ever worry about me—my God is bigger than their god.  :o)

    I feel that all Christians that see are to be watchmen.  Not some special person, mind you; but just an alarm sounder.  Would to God that more Christians stood up.  And for all of you who are so called to watch, watchmen, watch—I leave you with the below words of the Good and Only God:

Ezekiel 33:1-6
33:1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.  KJV

    What else, then, can a good Christian do we they see what is coming, come?  I'll tell you what you don't want to do:

Hebrews 10:31
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.  KJV

    Peace to you in Christ Jesus, and WATCH, watchmen, watch!  It is coming.  It cannot be stopped because it is written to come to pass, and that "...in which it was impossible for God to lie...." (Heb 6:18b) and "...which God, that cannot lie...." (Titus 1:2b) .  This world shall go into the Tribulation (Rev 13), satan shall reign for a season as god of this world (2nd Thes 2:4), Christians shall be persecuted (Rev 6:11, etc.), then comes the end (the Second Advent—Rev 19:11-21).  We are many going to die, you might as well die on the winning side.  And for the faint of heart, below is a Christianity that is not being taught in our churches anymore (because the "guess who's" have taken over most of the large denominations from within and without).  Take comfort in the below words of the Master Jesus Christ.  He tried to tell us, but our clergy negate His warnings at most every sermon.  Therefore they are not fit to lead us anymore.  They're fired: "For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take." (Acts 1:20).

Matthew 10:21-42 [Jesus Christ speaking about the endtime (search in vain for any Raptures)]
21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.
42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.  KJV

Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

One of the antichrists takes his best shot at their age old practice of defaming Apostle Paul's legitimacy

 

An enemy writes:

In the book of Acts we find a Pharisee named Saul.
Jesus warned us to be wary of the Pharisees.  From the
beginning of "christianity" Saul was persecuting them,
Satan was a murderer from the beginning.  Saul never
sees Yeshua, but hears a voice.  How do we know this
was truly the Son of God? 
"But when SAUL had come to Jerusalem HE tried to join
the disciples; but they were ALL AFRAID OF HIM AND DID
NOT BELIEVE THAT HE WAS A DISCIPLE (of Yeshuwa')"(Acts
9:26).
The qualifications for an apostle were
these...therefore it is necessary that of the men who
have accompanied us...--BEGINNING WITH THE BAPTISM OF
JOHN until THE DAY HE WAS TAKEN UP FROM US --one of
these must become a witness with us of His
resurrection." (Acts 1:21,22).
Paul never spent a day with the Messiah, that is why
he rarely if ever quotes from Jesus.  He doesn't meet
the criteria to be called an apostle. 
'PAUL' declared: "If we or an angel from heaven preach
ANY OTHER GOSPEL to you than what we have preached to
you "LET HIM BE A CURSE" (Gal 1:9).  Many of Pauls
teachings do not parralel that of Jesus' teachings. 
"For I BECAME YOUR FATHER through the  gospel I
preach" (1 Corinthians 4:15).
Didn't Jesus say to call no man your father?  Call no
man rabbi or teacher?  For only one in heaven is your
Father?  Yet Paul says I became your father, once
again, because Saul never spent a day with the
Teacher, he taught otherwise.
'Paul'wrote the LIE to his Galation followers that he
('Paul')and NOT PETER" was entrusted with the gospel
to the Gentiles" (Galations 2:7). In that same
infamous letter 'Paul' also attacked the integrity of
the faithful apostle PETER by making un-corroborated
and FALSE CHARGES against him.
Now, concerning FOOD OFFERED TO IDOLS I (Paul) am
fully convinced NO FOOD is UNCLEAN in itself, because
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN IDOL IN THE WORLD"(Romans
14:14. 1 Corinthians 8:4).
THIS EVIL TEACHING IS IN BLATANT DISREGARD FOR THE
COMMAND OF THE SPIRIT OF THE HOLY ONE AND THE TWELVE
APOSTLES:
"For it seemed good to the spirit of The Holy One, and
to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than THESE
NECESSARY THINGS; That you ABSTAIN FROM MEATS OFFERED
TO IDOLS, and from blood, and from things strangled
and from fornication..."(Acts 15:28:29).
Jesus never put down women, but Paul says they should
'shut up' in church.  Jesus delivered people from
satan, yet Paul delivers them to satan.
If anyone among you leads a vagabond life HE MUST BE
LEFT TO STARVE...HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM...LET
THEM EAT THEIR OWN BREAD" (2 Thessalonians 3:6-12
Jesus often ate and drank with the sinners, he fed
them, another example of Pauls false doctrine.
"FOR I WAS HUNGRY AND YOU GAVE ME NOTHING TO EAT";

There are 26 books in the New Testament, 13 written by
Paul.  That's half of them. 
Just as there were two trees in the garden of Eden, so
there are two trees in the New Testament.
Paul was a Pharisee, a murderer, a liar, and boastful,
and he met none of the requirements to be an apostle.
He claimed super Divine revelation... as far as we
know, it was Satan and NOT Jesus who met him on the
DAmascus Rd.  I plan on doing a detailed study of this
because it is so important to understand the truth of
this matter.  Paul twists the scriptures and makes up
his own, and damns anybody who would preach otherwise.

Thank you for your teachings, and may God bless you
and yours.
Peace

Answer:

    Why has satan hardened your heart to withstand our Lord Jesus Christ's chosen messenger, Apostle Paul?  Paul himself once had a word for one such as yourself:

2 Timothy 4:14-15
14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his
