This was prophesied by the prophets, Jesus and the Apostles. When looking at the total number of all the members of all the churches it is about 2.2 billion people. Yahweh has over the centuries called many people to come out of these churches but many did not answer the call. The people who did answer came out and separated themselves from the lies, confusion and deception.</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>These people became part of the elect, that group called in this current age before the great tribulation. The very first of these elect was Able and the last is unknown. When the last of this group of elect is called and chosen they will all be sealed in their human spirits with the mark of Yahweh weather dead or alive. They are the 12 tribes of spiritual Israel, the combination of saints before and after Jesus as Romans 11 and Hebrews 11 show. This will be the first harvest, the barley harvest, and they are symbolized by the two loaves of bread in Leviticus 23:17 . Jesus gave a parable in Matthew 13:33 that explains the three groups that in their assigned time will be offered salvation. The first group is the 144,000, the second group is during the millennium and the last group in the second resurrection. These are the three measures of meal, the leaven symbolizes Yahwehs Holy Spirit that just as physical leaven overtime spreads through the three measures Yahwehs spirit spreads through people. It should not be taken as an insult or viewed as elitism to be in the 144,000 because it is Yahwehs business alone as to what group a person will be in. If a person is a new convert they need to realize that they must make a clean and complete break from the world and its ways. This will require a certain amount of time, as each person is different, to understand the totality of what not being of this world truly means. The Apostle John brings this out plainly, 1 John 5:19 , 1 John 4:6 . Sometimes it is difficult to determine what is of the world from what is of Yahweh, we must sharpen our spiritual senses to determine good from evil, Hebrews 5:14 . All the elect have baggage from the world that overtime needs to be discarded. This requires constant use and training in the spirit of Yahweh. Along the way we may try to make excuses to continue in the worlds ways until we finally realize that it is futility and unGodly. The separation from this world must be complete not partial. I am not writing about obvious things, but the things that are not obvious and only become known by growing in grace and knowledge. We do not all travel the narrow road in one big group, but as a strung out line due to the time we were chosen and how long we have traveled that narrow road. We are all at different stages of growth but we all have the same destination. To whom much is given, Luke 12:48 much more will be required. We are Yahwehs servants, and if in ignorance do wrong will be corrected by a loving Father for our own good. Hebrews 12:9 . This is where the strong can help the weak or the babe in Christ. How long has it been since your eyes of understanding were opened ? If not long then you are a babe, but if many years there should be much growth unless you have buried you talent.</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>We are here to follow the will of Yahweh as demonstrated to us by Jesus.</b></span></p>Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18425079350083635791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152560211337718366.post-63377143661340976622024-03-09T15:39:00.004-05:002024-03-16T14:59:36.526-04:00SPIRITUAL WISDOM <p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b> SPIRITUAL WISDOM<br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b> </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Matthew 5:40 , If someone will sue you for your coat let him have your cloke also. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>How far do we go with this, should we strip naked ? Going the extra mile is to do more than just the basics or not being only a hearer but a doer. Paul said, as much as it depends on you live in peace with all men. You cannot control what men may do that goes far beyond what you are obligated to do. <br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Matthew 5:39 , do not resist evil people. If someone slaps your right cheek offer the left as well.</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Basically we are to overcome evil with good, so did Jesus tell us to allow evil people to do anything to us they want ? There is a scripture that says God will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able to bear but with that temptation provide a means of escape. <br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Matthew 5:11-12 , blessed are you when men revile and persecute you, say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake. Rejoice, and be very glad, for great is your reward, for they also persecuted the prophets before you. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Nothing is said here about physical violence. <br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Should we literally pluck out our eye or cut off our hand ? If so, we all would be missing eyes and hands. Don’t we know that it is our human spirit that sins not our body, then how would mutilating our bodies stop sin? Jesus even brings this out when he spoke about adultery and murder, that sin is in our spirits. If Jesus literally means we should mutilate ourselves why not just cut our heads off because dead men can’t sin. Romans 6:7 Our spirit is to control our body not our body our spirit. Romans 6:12-14 , Paul gives a more clear understanding of what Jesus said. Yield your body to God , as those who are alive from the dead, as an instrument of righteousness. We are to be living as though we were in the kingdom now. Spiritual wisdom must be applied to everything Jesus said, looking at his words spiritually not carnally. What was sin 5,000 years ago is still sin today, God does not change the rules for some while enforcing them on others. Solomon said there is a time for everything under the sun, we just need to know those times. David was a man after Gods own heart yet David killed, not murdered, but when David did murder Uriah this greatly displeased God. Even physical violence may sometimes be required in an act of love to defend others from evil men. Just to stand by and do nothing would not show love. 1 John 3:17 , James 2:16 , Psalm 82:3,4 Proverbs 24:11 Moses, Sampson and Abraham all killed but never murdered anyone. It boils down to what the thought and intent of your human spirit is when you act or speak. God knows your thoughts and motives and if driven by HIS love for others to protect and defend them against evil then this is good in Gods eyes.<br /></b></span></p>Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18425079350083635791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152560211337718366.post-65470058312448851112024-03-09T11:09:00.000-05:002024-03-09T11:09:28.299-05:00<p> </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">POLITICS </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Politics: the activities associated with the government of a country and the debate or conflict among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power. Politics is about power. If you are a Christian then you should be very concerned about what Yahweh thinks and declares about human governments. Christians must obey the law of the land, AS LONG AS IT DOES NOT CONFLICT WITH THE WILL OF YAHWEH. With Moses Yahweh gave HIS law, this law is not for a righteous man, a man with Yahwehs imputed righteousness by faith. 1 Timothy 1:9 The saints are bound by the law of agape that will do no harm and therefore will fulfill any law especially the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments are for carnal people, all people, not just carnal Israel, Romans 3:19 . The law condemns all carnal people to the second death because of sin. Jesus does not save people from the first death that is appointed to all men simply because they are mortal. Jesus saves people from total and complete annihilation of the soul, both body and human spirit. If this was not true then why are there resurrections ? It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps. Jeremiah 10:23 The proof of humanity’s inability to govern themselves is their history. Today the U.S. is in the process of electing a president. If you have been watching the news you should know that there is bitter conflict and division in the nation over Trump or Biden. Ever since the founding of this nation competing political parties have been fighting for power and today it continues. Politics is a filthy thing that has no hope of the utopia each party promises. To be involved in politics is to be part of the problem not the answer. Look at all the elections there has been then look at what we face today. Over and over we elect and elect hoping for change and this is a sign of insanity. If you are Yahwehs saint your hope is in HIM and HIS kingdom not human government because we seek a heavenly country our citizenship is in heaven. Philippians 3:20 , Hebrews 11:16 We are to keep ourselves unspotted from the world, to come out from among the world and be separated. Jesus said he was not of this world and if we are in him then neither are we. Being involved in politics is similar to being involved in the law, politics makes laws. If it was possible I would vote for Jesus but there is no voting with Yahweh, Yahweh is a king, a monarch, who has appointed HIS son as king under HIM. There is no voting in a kingdom. Humanity will never know true righteous government until Yahweh brings it to us at HIS sons return. </span></p>Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18425079350083635791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152560211337718366.post-46870890260081303962024-03-08T10:04:00.000-05:002024-03-08T10:04:07.617-05:00EZEKIEL PREDICTS THE BOOK OF REVELATION <p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">The study of scripture must contain both covenants in order to have a complete understanding of the meaning of scripture.

Yahweh is omniscient, HE knows absolutely everything and has in eternity. Isaiah 46:10 Yahweh knew that Satan and his human agents; ministers, pastors, preachers, evangelists, or any other human who presents themselves as a teacher or leader, AFTER THE DEATH OF THE APOSTLE JOHN, were going to appear and bring in damnable heresies that pervert all truth. Jude 1:4</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b> The true church since the death of the Apostle John changed drastically in the way of organization. All the offices listed in Ephesians 4:11 are no more except that of prophet and prophetess because it is by divine revelation through Christ that all Christians are taught the truth. John 6:45</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Ezekiel 34:1 begins with the prophecy against the shepherds of Israel. This Israel mentioned here is spiritual Israel, the church. Ezekiel 34:2-6 shows how these false shepherds treated the flock. Special notice to Ezekiel 34:4 strengthen the weak, heal the sick, bind the injured, bring back strays, search for the lost are all the teachings of Christ and the Apostles. Matthew 9:36, Matthew 18:12 Under the law no mercy was shown, you break the law you die. Hebrews 10:28 The flock became scattered over all the Earth. John 10:12 James 1:1 KJV , Mark 13:27 , Matthew 24:31 , Isaiah 40:11 The shepherds ,after John, until this day feed the flock with lies and charge them for it. Then here is Yahwehs remedy, Ezekiel 34:11,12 the day of thick darkness is when Jesus returns. Joel 2:1-2 More of Yahwehs remedy, Ezekiel 34:14 , Psalm 23:1-3 Yahwehs right arm, Jesus Christ, is Yahwehs salvation and by the will of Yahweh, Jesus is the only leader or shepherd of Christians. John 10:11,14 Yahweh by HIS Holy Spirit is the only teacher through Christ, all human shepherds are no more, the saints have no need of them. 1 John 2:27 , Matthew 23:10 The false shepherds try to do only what Yahweh and Christ can do. They have set themselves up, Yahweh did not send them. Many of these false shepherds come in the name of Jesus preaching that Jesus is the Christ but yet deceive many. Matthew 24:4-5 Even though there are dozens of scriptures that confirm what I have written here, many will not give up on their human shepherds. Christ gave his life so that ALL CHRISTIANS may have contact through him with Yahweh. It is up to each of us to decide who is their shepherd, but the Lord Jesus Christ is my shepherd.</b></span></p>Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18425079350083635791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152560211337718366.post-49038741290883052642024-03-04T19:30:00.002-05:002024-03-04T19:30:27.397-05:00PROPHECY OF JEREMIAH 25<p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> <span style="font-size: x-large;">Jeremiah 25:1 This prophecy was for Judah and Jerusalem and informs us that for 23 years Jeremiah and other prophets have warned the people of their failure to repent but they did not listen. God warns the people of punishment for their disobedience. History may not always exactly repeat but it often rhymes. Jeremiah 25:10 is rhyming with Revelation 18:23 , Jeremiah 7:34 , Jeremiah 16:9 and this is not a coincidence. Jeremiah 25:12 says the desolation will be everlasting, going against the 70 years commonly thought of by most biblical historians to be the time of Judahs captivity.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Jeremiah 25:13 notice, all the words God pronounced that are written in the book of Jeremiah for all nations. This is future because God has never punished all nations at any time in the past. Jeremiah 25:15-16 rhymes with Revelation 14:10 , Psalm 60:3 , Isaiah 51:17 this is not a coincidence either. This cup is given first to Judah and Jerusalem , then to all the nations of Earth. Jeremiah 25:26,31</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Judah and Jerusalem drink a double portion of Gods wrath which agrees with Revelation 18:3,6 Isaiah 40:2 , Jeremiah 16:18 , Jeremiah 17:18 .</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Jeremiah 25:32 rhymes with Luke 21:25 , Isaiah 17:12 this too is not coincidence. Jeremiah is writing about the future in these verses. Jeremiah is describing events that will happen during the time of Jacobs trouble, the great tribulation. For God to mention Judah and Jerusalem first and by name is significant because a nation cannot be punished if it does not exist. Judah and Jerusalem or Israel today, after passing out of existence for almost 2,000 years, has risen again, Revelation 13:1 . It was, is not, but now is, Revelation 17:11,8 . The captivity of Judah and Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar was a shadow type of the great tribulation just as Adam was a shadow type of Christ. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Jeremiah 25 is another clue because the modern nation of Israel is in reality Judah as the northern kingdom of Israel disappeared from history leaving only Judah to return after 70 years by a decree by Cyrus king of Persia. Modern Israel became a nation on May 14, 1948 and after 70 years would be May 14, 2018. This “after 70 years” would be up until May 13, 2028 because it is not after 80 years. Therefore, it may be that sometime before 80 years the false tribulation, man of sin covenant with ten nations and false millennium will take place during the first 3 1/2 years of the seven year covenant. After this God then begins fulfilling the events in Jeremiah 25 . Daniels last week of the 70 week prophecy or 7 years is what Jeremiah 25 describes. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"> When you consider the rebellion of Israel when coming out of Egypt, their rebellion under the judges, rebellion under their kings and the murder of the son of God and their end time alliance with the man of sin it is no wonder they receive a double portion of Gods wrath. God will after all this yet show them mercy. </span></p>Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18425079350083635791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152560211337718366.post-19452846161868536062024-02-29T10:22:00.001-05:002024-02-29T10:34:56.443-05:00THE HUMAN SPIRIT<p> </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>The human spirit is what we are, all humans are a spirit in an earthen vessel, a temporary dwelling. Scripture uses different words to describe the human spirit; inner man, heart, mind, breath of life. This human spirit interacts with the brain to control the physical body. The human spirit is what contains all knowledge and memories. The human spirit is what has the potential to have a relationship with God. The human spirit is how we are in Gods image and likeness but presently in a shadow way. The human spirit was designed by God to need a body in which to operate, to be a soul, a living breathing creature. As long as the spirit and body are joined there is life. Death is the spirit separating from the body. The body dies but the spirit does not. The spirit came from God, from heaven, and at death returns there totally dormant, asleep. This very thing happened to Jesus. Neither body or spirit is immortal unless a person is glorified by entering the kingdom of God. In the kingdom your spirit, now sealed in Gods very own divine nature, is now totally incapable of sin and the body is composed of 100% spirit. You are now truly in Gods image and likeness, you are now an Elohim, a mighty one. You are now what Christ was in the the flesh, one with God, a son of God. You will share, as a joint heir, the inheritance of Christ. You will be a king and a priest over some area of the Earth formerly governed by a demon of Satan. You will be worshipped by the humans that you love , teach and care for, you will be their god/Elohim. Then you will worship and walk in the name of Yahweh forever. </b></span></p>Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18425079350083635791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152560211337718366.post-25532889586946696332024-02-27T08:21:00.005-05:002024-02-27T08:24:54.459-05:00VENGEANCE IS NOT YOURS<p> </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I know what it is like to be persecuted and ostracized, shunned. I experienced this in the Worldwide Church of God. I can relate to and have compassion for others who have suffered. However, to attack the organization responsible is not the answer. I have seen a relentless ongoing effort by people who have been injured emotionally to seek revenge. Someone once said, vengeance is mine. Romans 12:19 I do not in any way make light of suffering but someone once said, Christ suffered for you, leaving an example that you should follow. 1 Peter 2:21 Someone once said, 1 Peter 3:9 , 1 Peter 4:13 The scriptures contain many verses admonishing Christians to not seek vengeance, or attack persons or organizations but rather pray or do good, to overcome evil with good. When we do engage in this type of behavior the evil overcomes us. It will eat you away like a cancer. You must let it go. You need to repent of this kind of mindset asking God for forgiveness and strength to overcome these unChristlike feelings. The origin of sin is in the mind, the human spirit, it is how we think that drives our words and deeds. Is it possible to help those who have suffered without leading a crusade against the guilty who caused it ? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This obsession with constant ridicule and debunking is not of God or Christ. No matter what excuses you may attempt to use. Will you now make me your enemy or will you see that you are only hurting yourselves and prolonging the suffering ?</span></p>Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18425079350083635791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152560211337718366.post-50756362937551335342024-02-19T15:56:00.003-05:002024-02-20T14:05:47.123-05:00ISSUES WITH NO CLEAR ANSWERS<p> <span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>ISSUES WITH NO CLEAR ANSWERS </b></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>How many angels can dance on the head of a pin ?

With some the issue that is disputed is the time it happens. Some assign the second resurrection to be at the return of Jesus and all of unconverted humanity raised then. There is only one scripture that places the time after the 1000 years, Revelation 20:5 , however those who place the second resurrection at the return say this scripture is not biblical, not inspired and was added by the Catholic Church in order to defend their claim that the Catholic Church was the millennium on Earth. </b></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>I have searched the internet to find the oldest translations of the New Testament concerning Revelation 20:5 . This was not an easy task. Of the well know oldest and most widely used translations I found only one, the Codex Sinaiticus , that used only the words, “this is the first resurrection” and eliminate the first part of verse 5 completely, Revelation 20:5 . In one translation, the Peshitta by George Lamsa, the words, “and the rest of the dead did not live again until the 1000 years were finished,” are in verse 4 . The Textus Receptus also has the complete text of Revelation 20:5 as well as the Vulgate. I have have also spoken to Anthony Buzzard about this issue and he is confident that all of Revelation 20:5 is genuine. When considering prophecy the time of events is mostly never definite and is very vague. We must rely on the accuracy of the flow of events to even have some sense of timing. When Jesus spoke of his return he only mentions the saints or elect as being resurrected this is also true of the prophets and Apostles. The main focus of the scriptures is on the first resurrection with fewer verses about the second. It says, the dead in Christ rise first. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 , nothing about the unconverted dead. The unrighteous unconverted will not inherit the kingdom of God but are ruled over by those who are in the kingdom . The throne of Christs glory, the great white throne, is for the one who will judge humanity and all judgment will be Christs . John 5:22. The church is judged now to be worthy of the kingdom. 1 Peter 4:17. We know that many will die at the return of Jesus, Isaiah 66:16, Jeremiah 25:31 , this event obviously has never happened and is future. When you look at events rather than try to establish a time it is possible to get a proper flow of those events with the testimony of Christ, the Prophets and Apostles. The great tribulation is to be a worldwide event with a death toll so high that if Jesus did not return early no human would be left alive. Matthew 24:22</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>What is the reward of the saints ? Is it not being raised from the dead to everlasting life at the return of Jesus ? Psalm 37:34 , compare to , Isaiah 3:11, Hebrews 11:6 , Proverbs 11:31 , 1 Peter 4:8 , John 3:36 Matthew 25:46 , John 5:24 , Isaiah 26:14 , Matthew 12:36 the saints are judged now but all others on the day of judgement, at the white throne. The wicked do not receive the reward of the righteous. Luke 18:7 The reward of the saints is the first resurrection. None of the unconverted are mentioned in conjunction with the saints in the first resurrection. 1 Corinthians 15:20 -23. At the return of Jesus those who are resurrected must be in Christ, the unconverted were never in Christ . I hope you see how events and the description of them regarding the saints is different from the unconverted and without mentioning a time. 1 Corinthians 6:14 , John 6:39 John 5:29 gives more clarity to the purpose of the two resurrections as one is to life, the first, the second is to judgment. The judgment refers to the great white throne judgment the occurs after the millennium. Revelation 20:7,11 . </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>If the second resurrection occurs at the second advent then the scriptures should reveal that. Every scripture referring to the resurrection at the second advent only mentions the elect saints, never including the unconverted. John 6:39 , it will be those who are the dead in Christ only that are resurrected at the second advent. However, John 5:28-29 , all who are in their graves , Acts 24:15 notice it says “a” resurrection. This would seem to indicate the just and the unjust , the just first then the unjust second, will both be raised at the second advent but with some space of time between them but not 1000 years , however that length of time is not known. It cannot be said that both the just and unjust are resurrected at the same time because there would not be two resurrections but only one. Then the millennium begins lasting 1000 years. At the end of the 1000 years is the great white throne judgement where all those humans in the millennium will face the formerly imprisoned Satan to be tested. Those who pass the test live and those who do not experience the second death. People in the millennium live to be 100 years old. Some think that everyone in the millennium lives until it’s end meaning some would be 1000 years old , a contradiction of Isaiah 65:20 , Isaiah 65:20 YLT , the Peshitta is records 100 years as does the Lamsa , the Interlinear and the Septuagint. This means that during that 1000 years many would live well beyond 100, but Isaiah says they die at 100.</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b> This </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>is problematic because no one is resurrected twice for the purpose of salvation. There are only two resurrections mentioned in scripture. Isaiah 11:6-9 describes conditions existing during the millennium as does Isaiah 65:17-25 . The 1000 years would be ten generations of 100 years each of people who were already resurrected once.</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>The sinner being cursed in Isaiah 65:20 would seem to me to </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>indicate that these sinners have committed the unpardonable sin and it is my understanding that those who commit this sin are not resurrected because the sacrifice of Christ is not available. Hebrews 10:26 In the codex Sinaiticus verse 5 does not say about the rest of the dead being raised after the 1000 years, however by careful examination of Revelation 20:4 describes the type of people who are in the first resurrection and eliminates all who had received and cooperated with the beast. Only these faithful “came to life” for the 1000 years the evil people did not “come to life” until after the 1000 years and appear at the white throne. Now Revelation 20:3,7 say Satan must be released to deceive again after the 1000 years. The question arises, who will he deceive if all of humanity was raised at the return of Jesus. Isaiah says, Isaiah 2:2-4 that during the millennium there is no war and no devil. Now we see that Gog and Magog have prepared for war. Revelation 20:8 Now this may be evidence to support Revelation 20:5 is correct in it entirety .</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. There is war and the devil after the millennium.</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. If all are raised in the second advent then who will the devil deceive after the millennium ?</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>3, The life span of those in the millennium is 100 years. If these people were resurrected at the return of Jesus then only live 100 years during the millennium the they would have to be resurrected a second time which is not biblical.</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>I confess that I never had to prove Revelation 20:5 but I believe the result of my study confirms the accuracy of the verse , wether verse 5 is present or not, when the events, flow and description of them, are carefully examined.

The error, the idol, is in how people think Yahweh has operated, worked among humanity. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>From the time of Adam and forever Yahweh has had various ways that HE has communicated with HIS people using angels and prophets but the Christ event changed how Yahweh now communicates with HIS people. Hebrews 1:1-2 Yahweh now, since Christ, communicates with HIS saints through Jesus Christ.</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>1 Corinthians 3:1-7 Even the Apostles knew and preached that only Yahweh is able to make us grow and we should never view any man in this way, to do so sets up an idol in our minds because we would be putting some man in place of Yahweh. This is made clear by , 1 Corinthians 3:3-4 , the Corinthians were looking at certain men boasting in them, 1 Corinthians 4:6 . Paul stated plainly that not even he or Apollos could give the understanding of what what they preached, that only Yahweh can do this. To elevate any man as the giver of spiritual understanding is to replace Yahweh with a man, glorify a man rather than Yahweh. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Men can teach lies but no man can teach truth, this belongs to Yahweh only. Jesus Christ gave his life so that each one of us can have a personal relationship with his God, we do not need some other mediator, some man that we may hold to be more than what he is. The world is full of modern day Corinthians who set up Benny Hinn, John Hagee , the Pope and many others. The saints of Yahweh should never do this, it is worldly. 1 Corinthians 3:3</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Paul sums up this Corinthian error , 1 Corinthians 3:21-22. There is a truth being addressed here that should awaken us all to examine ourselves and ask, have I set up an idol in my mind, have I elevated some man and boast in him thinking he is the one who enlightens me ? Do you see how this idol of the mind denies both Yahweh and Christ ? Peter tells us plainly that the prophets, like Ezekiel, 1 Peter 1:12 , are speaking to us and Ezekiel warns against doing what Paul described to the Corinthians. We all have access to Yahweh individually, this means with no other person except Christ the mediator. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>All of us have made this Corinthian error in the past elevating and boasting in some man led organization and we got burned, why do it again.

Adultery violates the seventh commandment while the latter four are violations of the law of Moses. When Moses was given the law the words inscribed on the tables of stone were those spoken to Israel on the day of assembly, Exodus 20:1-17 , Deuteronomy 5:22 . The second set of tables contained the exact same words, Exodus 34:1 , Deuteronomy 10:2 . The Ten Commandments were not know to humanity before God gave them to Moses. Deuteronomy 5:3 Now the Ten Commandments were placed inside the ark of the covenant, Exodus 25:16 but the law of Moses was outside of and beside the ark. Deuteronomy 31:26 . In this law of Moses were the judgments or penalty for violating the Ten Commandments, additional laws concerning the festivals, unclean laws, and sexual laws as well as other laws totaling 603 Mosaic commandments with the Ten Commandments making the total number of laws 613. Now, fornication is sex between unmarried people, incest is forbidden in Leviticus 18:6-18 & Leviticus 20:11-21 shows death was the penalty for theses sins . The sin of homosexuality, Leviticus 18:22 and beastiality, Leviticus 18:23 . The Ten Commandments were the statutes and the law of Moses contained the judgments. All sin is worthy of death without mercy under this system of laws. Hebrews 10:28 , Deuteronomy 17:6 . Sexual sins are no worse than other sins but all sins earn the wages of death , Romans 6:23. All of these sins, all 613, can be forgiven under the new covenant and all of these laws are combined under the law of Christ, love God and love neighbor, Mark 12:30-31 , Matthew 22:40 . Some of you have seen posts here on Simply Christian about Liberal Christianity that believes the scriptures must be viewed through the lens of modern society and must change to include homosexuality and other sins that the prophets, Jesus and Apostles plainly state are sins. Sin has never changed and is the same today as in biblical times. Liberal Christianity provides a way for the sinner to not feel they are sinners and welcomes the sinner with their unrepentant sins as fellow Christians. There is a lesson for all of us here; do not carelessly read any post and do not be impressed with great swelling words of emptiness. Check out what these posts are really saying before you give a thumbs up. </span></b></p>Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18425079350083635791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152560211337718366.post-36232100796394146162024-01-28T12:12:00.002-05:002024-01-31T07:47:51.213-05:00PLUG IN THEIR NAME<p> </p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>No Other Name</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>When I was in the Worldwide Church of God I hung on to every word that was taught by Herbert W. Armstrong. Everything he and his ministry taught I believed. I know that many here on Simply Christian have had the same or similar experience. After coming out of this deception more than 30 years ago I realized that Armstrong was my idol, Romans 6:16 , Romans 6:21 , Matthew 6:24 , 1 Kings 18:21 , the churches today, 1 Kings 17:41 are in this fleshy program , Galatians 1:10 . </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Did you realize this ? I know now that Armstrong was an unconverted man because a truly converted man will tell you the truth, that God is your teacher and Christ is your leader and not puffing himself up as though he was. Who was your Baal, your Armstrong? Or do you still have one ? Plug his name in as a false god, false Christ, false minister. If we were deceived it wasn’t God and Christ who deceived us was it ? When I realized what I was doing I repented and asked God through Christ to forgive me, did you ? I did not go out and again follow some other man, did you ? How can you possibly begin a new life without making peace between you and your Creator? We’re you baptized in the one true baptism? Did you have hands laid upon you to receive the Holy Spirit ? Have you died with Christ to your former life of sin ? Have you, like Elijah, slain your prophet of Baal ? If so, plug his name in here , @#@#&$%#$ . If not, get out your two edged sword and have the courage to slay him. To totally eliminate the enemy and his ministers posing as angels of light you need to rely on Yahweh and Christ only. Can we take fire to our bosom and not be burned ? How many times do we allow ourselves to be burned ? To many seem to think that they need another mediator in addition to Christ, another teacher in addition to the Holy Spirit of the Father. Jesus gave his life so that each of us can through him have a relationship with the Father. In this personal relationship there is no room for some other pretender. We are told to work out our own salvation in fear and trembling. Philippians 2:12</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>It says your own salvation. We do this with God and Christ no one else. There is no other name given , under heaven, this means some other name on Earth, under heaven is the Earth, by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12 So then if we include some other name what are we doing ? We are forgetting that there is no other name.</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></p>Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18425079350083635791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152560211337718366.post-25448004145404533962024-01-28T11:09:00.002-05:002024-01-28T11:41:00.910-05:00<p> </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>PROVE ALL THINGS</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>1 Thessalonians 5:1 Paul is telling us to prove all things , not to the world but to ourselves, the saints. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>The people of the world cannot receive the knowledge of the truth.

John 17:20 The elect alive today, indeed all the elect of all time, know that only the Apostles were given the great commission. This is why the elect are not out preaching the gospel and how we know that those who do are false witnesses. As I have written before, God and Christ have totally controlled the church after the death of John, the last of those chosen witnesses . From that time God through Christ teaches His people, no man. This shows the elect how easy it is to identify a deceiver. Among the elect the gospel is taught but it is not taught to the world . Matthew 13:11 , to you, not them.

The Catholic Church changed the Ten Commandments by eliminating the second that prohibited idols then the ninth and tenth concern coveting, the ninth saying not to covet your neighbors wife and the tenth your neighbors property . Also the Sabbath day was changed from the seventh day to the first day of the week, thus violating the words of Jesus ; Matthew 5:17-18 . To fulfill the shadow days of ancient Israel Jesus would do this on the actual day they occurred in the law. The Passover was fulfilled on the Passover, the weekly Sabbath on the Sabbath, the week of unleavened bread on those days and Pentecost on the day of Pentecost. Jesus emphasized that not one jot or tittle of the law would pass away until everything was accomplished in the new heaven and Earth, the accomplishing will happen in Revelation 21:1 </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>The entire carnal world is yet under the law, Romans 3:19 . I am not involved with legalism, I keep no days but I am extremely familiar with the law and I know how it operates.

There is another post here that shows plainly that if you count backwards from Pentecost 50 days it will be on the weekly Sabbath. To see all these things for yourself, you must invest yourself in them, to diligently seek the truth of what I have written here. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></p>Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18425079350083635791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152560211337718366.post-69404950351954186192024-01-22T12:20:00.004-05:002024-02-02T17:10:00.057-05:00<p> </p><p><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><b> CLUES FROM SOLOMON </b></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>1 Kings 10:19-21 Six steps led up to Solomons throne and on each side of those steps was a lion.</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>6 lions, 6 steps, 6 lions</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>1 Kings 10:14 six hundred three score and six talents of gold, in todays money would be over a billion dollars. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Solomon was the son of David, the king of Israel, Solomons reign was one of peace, his name actually means peace, so he was viewed by many in Israel as the prince of peace and the messiah.

These two were once converted, like Solomon, but they blasphemed the Holy Spirit .</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Solomon was exceedingly rich. Daniel 11:43</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>The dream of every Jewish person is the coming of their idea of a messiah even in Christs day. Acts 1:6 The Jewish people long for the glory days of Solomon when Israel was the premier nation on Earth. 1 Kings 10:23 All other nations paled in comparison to Israel thus giving us an important clue into the identities of the 8 kings in Revelation 17:10-11 The eighth king is one of the previous seven who each in their day was the preeminent nation on the Earth, Solomons Israel was definitely one of these seven and in the future be the eighth king. The Jewish people in that day will think the antichrist is their promised messiah, the false Christians will think he is Jesus, perhaps the Islamics will think he is the Mahdi , their version of the messiah. The kingdom of the antichrist is not Rome or Babylon, Iraq or united Europe, it is the resurrected Israel. The beast/ antichrist a Solomon figure. Thus antichrist creates an image of the beast, the one that rises up out of the sea, symbolic of the worlds people, where their population made Aliyah or return to Israel. Israel a beast, a nation, that was, is not and yet is, the only nation in history that totally disappeared only to return again. The ten horns of the beast are ten nations antichrist will enter with into a covenant and the seven heads are the seven mountains, not hills, that are around Jerusalem. One of these heads or mountains suffered a deadly wound but the wound is healed, the temple on Mount Moriah was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD but a third temple will be built and begin again the sacrifices made. Then a beast out of the Earth a false prophet Elijah who calls fire down from heaven to deceive. The harlot is the capital of Israel , Jeremiah 3:3 Revelation 17:5 , who controls the beast nation and from where the antichrist will rule as a king and priest. Exodus 13:9-16 , Deuteronomy 6:8 , Deuteronomy 11:18 </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Antichrist will bring the people under the law of Moses, denying Jesus, this is why there is a temple with sacrifices.

Once antichrist enters into the holy of holies and says he is God the Jews will instantly realize their error and reject antichrist thus bringing in the time of Jacobs trouble that spills over on to all nations. The harlot will be punished double for sins, Isaiah 40:2 , Revelation 18:6 . In Jerusalem was found the blood of prophets and saints and the slain on EarthRevelation 18:24 , Matthew 23:5 This will be when the mark of the beast will be demanded.

In much of Paul’s writings he comes across a one who has attained. He speaks as though what is a promise or hope as a present reality. This is due to the zeal in response to the power of God that worked in him. 2 Kings 19:31 This spiritual phenomenon is called Prophetic perfect tense. This is a style of preaching that describes future events that are so certain to happen that they are referred to in the past tense as if they had already happened. Under the powerful influence of the Fathers Holy Spirit Paul on many occasions wrote or spoke in this manner. God was in effect speaking through Paul. This was also in the prophets as well as Jesus himself. Hebrews 1:1-2 </span><span style="font-size: xx-large;">1 Peter 1:10-12 </span></p><p><span style="font-size: xx-large;">Isaiah 9:6 is an example of prophetic perfect tense as the verse seems to say the son was already given when we know this son would not be born or given until the future. Romans 8:30:31 is an example of Paul’s prophetic perfect tense as he says, “and he also glorified “ , we know our glorification is still future. This effect is true in many scriptures because the God who inspired these men speaks this way. Romans 4:17 , Isaiah 46:9-10 , and Jesus also Matthew 22:32 . If the God of our inspiration speaks in this manner then is it not also true of His prophets, His son and the Apostles. Those who do not understand this may well think that future events have indeed been already fulfilled. Again, the possibility of mistaking the prophetic perfect tense effect as truly fulfilled prophecy when the prophecy has not actually been fulfilled will hide the reality to believe a fantasy . An event of the past which in some ways are very similar to a future event is called, shadow prophecy, which is the result of a persons belief that the shadow is real. Isaiah 9:6 where the son seems to have already been born and given is the shadow but it cannot be believed that it was fulfilled in Isaiah’s time. The same is true when Paul said we are glorified, we should not take this literally and turn it into a doctrine. Prophecy and doctrine are not the same. Doctrine is prophecy fulfilled and prophecy is yet to be fulfilled doctrine.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: xx-large;">Jesus was a prophetic character until the prophecies concerning him were fulfilled then it became doctrine.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: xx-large;">Knowing this shows Jesus did not pre exist.

Passover was not a day of unleavened bread or a holy day but was a preparation day for the first day of unleavened bread, the day the Jews did not want Jesus to be on the cross, a high day, John 19:31. No Israelite was to eat or have leaven in their homes. This feast lasted 7 days. The first day the 15th of Nisan was an annual holy day and the last day the the 22nd was a holy day, these days were annual sabbaths or high days. Now the nearly universal idea is that leaven always is symbolic of sin. This is incorrect. Leaven is symbolic of spirit. What spirit are we leavened with, are we children of Satan or children of God. Luke 9:55 Matthew 13:33 Jesus compared the kingdom of God with leaven, how if leaven always symbolizes sin ? The annual holy days of Israel were to remind the Israelites of their sins. Hebrews 10:3 It was impossible for the blood of animals to forgive sin. Hebrews 10:4 So the carnal Israelites were always in their sins. Jesus makes it possible for the saints to be clean, not unclean as the carnal Israelites were. Acts 10:15 Through Jesus the saints are leavened with the Holy Spirit made possible not by the blood of animals but by the blood of the son of God. The reason there are 7 days are because over the entire plan of God for the saints there would be 7 churches, those listed in the book of Revelation, over the passage of time each church era would be leavened with the Holy Spirit. Revelation 1:4 These 7 churches are leavened with the Holy Spirit else the could not be called the church of God. From these 7 churches are the true people of God , those who truly were called and chosen because in some of these churches like Sardis had only a few names who would walk in white, would inherit the kingdom of God. Also on Pentecost two loaves of bread were baked with leaven that symbolized the saints before and after Christ, the elect. Leviticus 23:17 Twelve loaves representing the twelve tribes for the showbread were not baked with leaven. Leviticus 24:5 The Laodiceans must be leavened by being martyred because neither being cold of hot they are not of the elect but are the innumerable multitude. Also, after the resurrection of Jesus he met two of his disciples but God did not permit them to recognize Jesus. The three went to eat and Jesus took bread and broke it and gave it to them. Luke 24:30 The word used for bread here is “artos” Strongs G740 meaning bread baked into a loaf or leavened, the same bread Jesus used at the Passover meal . The word for unleavened bread is “azumos” Strongs G106. After this Jesus vanished. Now Luke 24:35 reveals how the disciples knew it was Jesus, in the breaking of the loaf of leavened bread, “artos” . This was because this event took place during the days of unleavened bread. The disciples understood because of , Luke 24:27 , where Jesus probably mentioned this thing about leaven. All events like these that Jesus did were explained by him to his disciples. Luke 24:44-45 So, you see how Jesus fulfilled the days of unleavened bread.</b></span></p>Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18425079350083635791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152560211337718366.post-25802670357447362852024-01-18T12:28:00.001-05:002024-01-18T13:31:00.888-05:00<p> <span style="font-size: x-large;"> <b>THE RESURRECTION </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>This will prove when Jesus was resurrected.

Adam and Eve were married by God. It is believed today that people who think they are ministers, preachers or priests of God can perform marriages They cannot because this authority was not given to them. You will not find anywhere in scripture that even remotely resembles the modern day marriage ceremony. It is ironic these false people even say, “ what God has joined together let not man put asunder.” Marriage is a covenant between the man, woman and God, no one else. The only thing mentioned in scripture is the celebration of the covenant not the making of it. In very brief words, to be married the man and woman love one another and in prayer ask God to make them husband and wife, then the act of sexual intercourse seals the covenant. That’s it, there is nothing else. God will hold both man and woman responsible to honor each others God given roles in marriage as Jesus and the Apostles explained in scripture. What marriage is today is human intervention into a thing that is Gods business only. Many people today that do not fit into the modern idea of marriage are considered living in sin because they did not go through the pomp and circumstance of the churches and governments of the carnal world. I do however recognize that in this ungodly evil world that currently has control it is advisable to go through the motions of fake marriage in order to qualify for the legal benefits under man’s laws. When my wife and I were married by God alone we both agreed to do the carnal thing as well for these reasons but we do not recognize their authority to marry anyone. Human marriage is a type or shadow of our marriage to Christ. It is God the Father who chooses those to be a part of the bride, the church, no man. John 6:44</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Just as in human marriage you do not commit adultery you do not commit spiritual adultery against Christ by blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. The penalty for each is death but the one against the Holy Spirit and Christ is everlasting death. Hebrews 10:26-27 In many other things carnal churches and governments have corrupted the truth as Jude said in his letter. Marriage is a serious thing and guiding principles from God should be employed when couples are considering marriage. If someone cannot abide by the way Yahweh has ordained for marriage they should not marry. These ordinances of Yahweh have not changed and remain the same as Yahweh gave them to Adam and Eve. </span></p>Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18425079350083635791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152560211337718366.post-21388481066784003622024-01-16T20:46:00.004-05:002024-02-14T14:32:49.880-05:00<p> </p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Preterism</b></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Preterism is a belief that most or all of prophecy has been fulfilled. The tribulation, abomination of desolation, the mark of the beast all took place around 70 AD and that the book of Revelation was written about 67AD .</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>According to Irenaeus of Lions in his work called, Against Heresies , book 2 chapter 22 paragraph 5 the Apostle John lived in Ephesus after Emperor Domitian died and Nerva took the throne. Then Emperor Trajan took the throne around 98 AD John died a short time later and this information is confirmed by others who wrote in that time. This fact proves a date of 67AD for John writing Revelation is wrong. None of the Apostles ever mentioned the destruction of the temple in 70AD. It was not important to them</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>because it had nothing to do with the second advent of Christ, which was part of the question asked by the disciples in Matthew 24:3 .</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>The miraculous events recorded by Josephus in 66AD of chariots in the clouds at the time prior to the Jewish Roman war can also be found in 2 Maccabees 5:2-3. Also at this time Antiochus Epiphanies desecrated the temple by sacrificing a pig on the alter, a type of the abomination of desolation. Josephus is not a fellow to be trusted as he betrayed his people and joined the Romans. Could he have plagiarized part of 2 Maccabees to juice up his story ? It is highly unlikely that these two events both happened over 100 years apart with exact similar miraculous events. Neither of these historical events are true if one attempts to say that they have fulfilled all or most prophecy of the end times. People who adhere to Preterism will be totally lost concerning prophetic events. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Mark Twain took a tour of Jerusalem in 1867 and in his book about this entitled, The Innocents Abroad, chapter 54, describes stones yet stacked on top of one another and sections of various walls and pillars which does not fit what Jesus said about the temples destruction. This is because Jesus was not speaking of the second temple but the third, the antichrist temple. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Another claim of Preterism is that Revelation 20:5 where it says, the rest of the dead lived not again until the 1000 years were finished. They say that this part is uninspired and not in many of the oldest translations . I have done extensive reading and study to see if this claim is true. As it turns out only one of the early papyri , codex Sinaiticus , does exclude this verse, but all others contain it. Even the Lamsa has it but it is in verse 4 not 5. The Peshitta also has the verse but in verse 7 rather than 5. The Latin Vulgate also contains the verse as the others do. Even some translations of the codex Sinaiticus contain it. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>2 Samuel 14:14. The means by which the banished ones will not be expelled is the second resurrection. In Ezekiel 38:1-23 is the account of Gog and Magog in Revelation 20:7-9 it is a long time , a time after the 1000 years, after the second resurrection, which Ezekiel 37 describes in the valley of dry bones. All of Ezekiel 39 continues to describe events of the attempted invasion by Gog and Magog. So then it is plain that these events are after 1000 years and the whole house of Israel resurrected at this time is attacked by Gog and Magog who will be destroyed by fire. Ezekiel 36 begins the story and in ends in chapter 39 </b></span></p>Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18425079350083635791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152560211337718366.post-18245014064557027072024-01-16T20:45:00.005-05:002024-01-16T20:45:44.389-05:00<p> </p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>When was the Book of Revelation Written ?</b></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Eusebius book 3, chapter 23, verse 1</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>At that time the Apostle and evangelist John, the one who Jesus loved, was still living in Asia and governing the churches of that region, having returned after the death of Domitian from his exile on the island.</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Domitiannus was emperor of Rome from 81 AD to 96 AD.

Revelation 13:18 666 is the number of the beast/antichrist. 1 Kings 11:1-8 describes how Solomon went into sin and the antichrist is a man of sin. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 Both antichrist and Solomon are known for their wisdom, both are very rich, both are a son of David and both were/are believed to be the messiah. After the gold Solomon received was calculated it amounted to 666 talents which today would be worth over a billion dollars. This calculated number of Solomon is used to help identify the antichrist. The antichrist will be a Jew who can trace his ancestors back to king David making firm his false claim as the Jewish messiah. He will reign in Jerusalem the harlot city , the capital that controls/rides the beast nation Judah or modern day Israel. He makes a new covenant with ten nations and has a false Elijah/prophet who calls fire down from heaven to burn the sacrifices offered at the third temple just as Solomon did at the first temple. 2 Chronicles 7:1 . All these things are done to convince the Jews and the world that the antichrist is the messiah. Antichrist will bring people under the law thus denying Christ. Galatians 5:4 , the great falling away. Many will believe they are in the millennium as the works of the antichrist change times and law. Daniel 7:25</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Antichrist will use scripture to deceive by twisting its true meaning. 1 Timothy 4:1 , 2 Corinthians 4:4 . There are a few differences between the antichrist and Solomon but the similarities are numerous. I think Solomon did repent and this is seen in his writings but antichrist does not repent. Solomon had to many women but antichrist doesn’t seem to bother with women. Solomon was king of Israel in Israel’s glory days and todays Jews want that glory again just as the apostles did before they had understanding. Acts 1:6 There are organizations in Israel today that have acquired everything needed to build the third temple except the location. With the current war, if it escalates , would it be possible for Israel to become the top power in the Middle East ? Will Israel be forced to use their nuclear weapons? Would this put Israel in a position to force a ten nation covenant, a mix of iron and clay? We will have to wait and see how things develop.</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b> </b></span></p>Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18425079350083635791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152560211337718366.post-79759721717583501942024-01-13T11:37:00.013-05:002024-01-14T07:41:44.594-05:00<p> </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Josephus, Allen, Armstrong, LaHaye</b></span></p><p><b>1/13/24</b></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>For the sake of discussion only, let us assume that your view of prophecy is correct, what detriment would that be to me ?

Herbert W. Armstrongs book, The U.S. and Britain in Prophecy attempts to prove that the lost ten tribes of Israel are the white European and American people.

In the finality of things prophecy will fade away. Any prophecy given by a new covenant saint is subject to the prophets of old. 1 Corinthians 14:32 , the saints cannot speak a prophecy that conflicts with the prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and the minor prophets. We must be extremely careful that we do not handle the word of God deceitfully. 2 Corinthians 4:2 . Prophecy is within scripture and by Yahwehs spirit no other place or power.

We know that the Laodiceans must experience the horror of the great tribulation with no protection from God. They must buy God gold tried in the fire, the fire of the great tribulation . Both the Philadelphia and Laodicean churches are alive during the great tribulation and the fire will prove what foundation they have. Even though the Laodiceans suffer loss by losing their crown they are yet saved by martyrdom. Isaiah 49:10 , Isaiah 25:8-9 , by their foundation tried in the fire and the wood, hay and stubble burned up. Laodiceans must refuse the mark of the beast. Revelation 20:4 , Revelation 14:13 , Revelation 13:15</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Revelation 12:6 is the elect alive and remaining with the seal of God. This is not carnal Israel but spiritual Israel, that woman through Abraham to whom the promises were made and was the church in the wilderness that gave birth to the male child. This faithful end time remnant is attacked by Satan with a flood of lies to deceive them, Matthew 24:24 , but this remnant cannot be deceived but the Earths people swallow up all the lies and deceit to follow after the beast. Satan the becomes enraged and goes after the Laodiceans, the Jews and all others who will not take the mark.</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>The scriptures below speak about the crown.</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>1 Corinthians 9:25 , Revelation 2:10 , 2 Timothy 2:5 , Proverbs 4:9 , Isaiah 62:3 , Isaiah 28:5</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Since we know these things we must search ourselves to see if we have any wood, hay or stubble on our foundations, having any false doctrine, sins we have not addressed, being to much of and in the world, perusing physical rather than spiritual things, not loving with Gods love and not taking this great election seriously. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>We need to help one another, love one another, pray for one another, fellowship with one another; Hebrews 10:19-25 </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>No one should want to be a Laodicean but a Philadelphian. The Apostle Paul knew that he would receive a crown. 2 Timothy 4:8 . There is more good advice from Paul , 2 Corinthians 13:5 .</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Also in by the Prophets , Lamentations 3:40 , Psalm 119:59 , Psalm 139:23-24 . At present we all went through the gate and travel on that narrow road knowing that at its end is the kingdom of God , but only those who endure to that end, hold to the faith, live the gospel and continually examine themselves will arrive.
